between Bowling Green and Port ROYAL,
near fredericksburg, Va. The barn was
surrounded and demand made for their
surrender, which Harold was in favor OF
doing, but upon Booth calling him a COW.

Harold was taken alive and he and Booths

Booth was discovered in the barn by the
cavalry. He declared his intention never
to surrender, and said he would fight the
whole squad, consisting of % men, II they
would permit him TO place himself twenty
yards distant. The scouting party was
under command of Lieut.. Edward Dough-

Lieut.. Dougherty, accompanied by some of
Col. Bakers officers, who captured and

r.u Vote = Union victory.

fla full vote is polled tomorrow, the
result will be a complete and overwhelm-
ing triumph of the Union party. Our
only danger is that Union men will neglect
to do their duty at the polls. In 1862 the
Democrats claimed the state by 5000 ma
iority, when, had there been a full vote
the Union majority would not have been
less than 10000. The carelessness and
o~ver-confdence of the Union men was
their WI destruction. Let that defeat
nave its lesson. Let no effort be relaxed
TO bring out a full vote tomorrow, Let
every Union man be at the polls early and
vote, then go to work and bring out the
laggards. Let carriages be on hand for
the sick and infrm. Let every Union
voter be brought to the polls, and our vic
tory is assured.

Union Men. Arc You Ready .

The election for Governor, State officers,
and State Legislature, occurs tomorrow.
Upon that election hinges the attitude of
our great and noble State for years to come.
We need not enlarge upon the terrible
consequences which would result should
the party of Union and Freedom be de
feated and rebel sympathizers. placed
in power. The glorious fruits of the war
would all be lost, the Southern rebels
would be reinstated in power, the rebel
debt would be assumed, our own debt
wonld be ~repudiated or taxed to the verge
Of reputation, slavery would be restored,
red-handed traitors, who have failed in
their attempts to ruin, would be allowed,
nay invited, torule This is the programme
of Vallandigham and the Democratic lead
ers in this state, and if they are given
power they will be encouraged and
strengthened in their nefarions plot, not
only here, but throughout the nation.
UNION MEN OF OHIol We know that
you are unalterably hostile to this party
and policy. You rebuked it by the mag
nifcent majority of over one hundred
thousand in 1853, and repudiated it in
1864 by a majority less large but no less
decisive. You will not fail or falter now.
The same issues are at stake, though the
Democracy strive to conceal them. You
know this, and you will be faithful.
But you will not win without a struggle.
The Democracy are united and deter
mined. They ,cU poll their full vote IN
ereyy torn ia the State. They are using
the most insidious and assiduous efforts to
cajole to their support the weak and un-
wary of the Union party. Whatever
money, whatever fair promises, whatever
the raising of false issues, whatever the
charging Of unpopular doctrines upon the
party onn-doy will be done by the
interruptions and malignant leaders of the
Nallandigham Democracy. Therefore, If
agas noe must 1oork. We have opposed
to us a sleepless, active, energetic, unscru-
foe. Let us then redouble u eff
to %vanquish him.
We do not fear the strength of the Val
a%ndigham party. The only element of
is the over-conidence, and conse-
luent apathy, of our friends. A full
vote will be Il triumphant Union victory,
if fifty thousand Union voters are
and stay away from the polls we
hall be defeated. We call upon our
friends therefore, to awakel Reflect,
.Jnionists, upon the calamities which
would result from a triumph of the rebel
ympathizers tomorrow Resolve that |
hey shall not Triumph Devote every
valuable moment from now till the polls
lose, tothe Union cause. Bring out your
all vote and a glorious yictery is oursl |
