L-yOur readers willfind two tickets on [the next page, at the bottom of the column. :Cut tiiciu out, vute one, and get somebody :

to vote the other.

SgL,The howl going up in .Richmondand through tho South at the President'shi t proclamation against slavery, showsthat the root of the rebellion Las beenstruck with a blow that will crash it out,

As usual, the democratic Vallandighampapers in the North chime in with the reb-els. Ihey have little to say against therebels employing negroes in war or incitingIndians to murder our men, women andchildren, but when tho lifeof the rebellionis threatened by destroying it? most valua-ble property, they are terribly afraid thenegroes will assert their freedom and hurtsome of the rebels I Now who would careit ati South Carolina was annihilated? Noloyal man. Who would care how soon thenegroes would .-hoot or hang Jef. Davis,hi.> cabinet, Lis congress, and allbelongingto them : No loyal man. Who wouldcare to hear that John C. Breckinridge,Beauregard, and the whole nest of viperswhose hands are steeped in the blood ofour husbands, and sons, Lad perish-ed as perished John Brown ? No loyalman. Those who are true to the Union inthe oouth have until the first of Januaryto show their loyalty, and then if they i'ailin it let them take the consequences.?Those wiio stir up savage Indians, have noright to complain if arms are uiven toslaves to assert their right, in Thomas Jef-ferson' 3 memorable words, "to life, LIBER-TY and the pursuit of happiness.

Cheers for Jef. Davis.The Pittsburg Gazette says that a "Dem-

ocratic meeting" was held in Tcmperance-ville,which was addressed by (J. P. Ham-ilton, Esq., the "democratic" candidate forCongress. The speech was dull and lame,but the meeting was somewhat enlivenedby cheers for Jcf. Davis, which were heart-ilygiven, as we are informed. We are notinformed that the traitorous cheers were inany wise rebuked.

To coino off?The draft on the ICth.Rather leaky?The spout at the Town Hall.Rather a rich party?That at Major Dan's

Some locofoco nigger "Worshippers are againbeginning to call the Union.ticket " abolition-ists." That's exactly what the rebels call

cur soldiers

I B£s*The pateut democratic convention; re-assembled on Monday a week arid nom-

j inated W. W. Gilmore ol Menno township? as a candidate for Register and Recorder !

; From all that we have hoard he has beeni one of the most violent denouncers of the

war and the administration in that hotbed; of Southern sympathizers, and his nomina-

! tion may therefore well bo said to be a fit-ting climax to that of Mr. Ilazlett for com-missioner. Our candidate, Samuel W.Tkrr, son of Samuel Barr, Esq., late Reg-ister, is a young roan of unquestioned in-tegrity, a thorough and sincere supporter

of our National and State Administrations

i in their efforts to crush the rebellion, andj we hope the loyal men of Mifflin will give

. him such a vote as willsatisfy Mr. Oilmore

! that his 11 democracy" is not of the kindthat meets their approbation.

The convention also nominated Mont-gomery Morrison for Coronor, but Gum

| wouldn't stand it, not being anxious to holdi an inquest on such candidates.

In their greediness for small favors theyeven nominated an Auditor?of the samestripe with others on the ticket?for twoyears. Any one referring to the electionreturns of 1861 will see that Mr. Vauzanthad 18 majority in the county vote, andwas by the decision of the Supreme Courtthrowing out the soldiers' vote, duly elect-

ed. Of course all votes ca-t for C. K. Da-vis for auditor are worthless.

Patent Democratic Rotation in Office.It used to be a favorite cry with the pat-

entees that rotation in office was a cardinalprinciple, so that all would stand a chancefor the spoils. Taking Judge Wilson,their candidate far Prothonotnry for a sam-ple, it would be a curious calculation thatwould show how long the present genera-

tion of patent democrats would have to liveto got their share of office to be on an equal-ity with him, either in time or pay :

During Gov. Wolfe's term he wasappointed Prothonotary, whichoffice he held about two years,worth, say $2,000

Subsequently lie was twice electedto the Legislature, worth, say 1,000

President Judge, 13 years, at anaverage of perhaps SIBOO a year, 32,400 j

22 office, with pay of $-35,400

And yet this party of rotation row asksthe people to elect him to an office the du-ties of which he will have to perform bydeputy!

Cui bono ? (For whoso good ?)

Quimsabe? (Who knows? as the Mex-ican woman said iu 1847 when asked whosepretty child she had on her back.)

liaising False Issues.The last Democrat contains a rather silly

card from the pen of J. Harrison lloss, latemember of Assembly, in which he endeav-ors to make it appear that somebody is per-

secuting him un account of the tonnagetax, and then invites taxpayers, in anxious-bench style, to come and vote for him, as

now is the time. With the quarrel be-tween himself and his brother democrat,neither the public nor ourselves have any-thing to do?as they may fight out theirdifficulty?hut with the attempt to raise a

false issue at the election, wc have. Mr.lloss holds out the idea that he is the man

to have the tonnage tax restored ?that hecan bring down the mammoth corporationon its knees and make tie Grand Mogultremble in his boats?in short, that he willkick up "flugeiis" generally, while TomWilliams, old Daddy Hopkins and a num-

ber of others who could see much deeperinto a millstone last winter than a certainJ. Harrison lloss, will have to stand asideand give way to "Buncombe!" Now, aswe stated a few weeks ago, it is not likelythat the tonnage tax question will be seri-ously agitated next winter, but if it comesup at all, Holmes Maclay willbe quite aslikely to vote for its restoration a? J. 11.Boss.

In the meantime there are some otherquestions which willcome up, of interestto the people as well as their pockets. Forinstance the self-styled democratic conven-tion at llarrisburg in July last passed aresolution condemning the confiscation billand asking that rebels may be tried byrebel juries, which, with Bright resolu-tions and a U. S. Senator of the Hughesschool, form prominent topics for a repre-sentative. How Mr. lloss would vote onsuch questions his Urijht vote last winterproves.

McAllister's (tho patent democratic candi-date,) traveling in this county in some com-pany he has been in has raised Blair stockconsiderably. People aro beginning tojudgemen by the company they keep.

Laying around loose?A Henderson lloseCompany ladder. The school vanuals havealready broken some rounds, and unless some-body will look after it, good bye ladder.Query ? Who had used it ?

The editor of the Selinsgrove Timesfinds a great deal of fault with Judge Woodsfor telling him what the fiue and punishmentaro for certain traitorous acts, alleging thathe was prejudging his case. If not guilty,lie has nothing to fear?if guilty, let the courtgive the traitor the extent of the law.

From the North American of Oct. 3d.

Domestic Treason.F. W. Hughes, it seems in 1861 drew

up a resolution to precipitate Pennsylvaniainto the rebellion. It was so monstrous a

proposition that, when its author read it tovarious members of the Democratic StateConvention, to which it was to be presen-ted, they were aghast at his treason, and inthe resolution committee of that conventionone man, at least, threatened to throw himand his resolution out of the wiadow if hedared to offer it. In fact, the indignationwas then so great that Hughes deemed itprudent to withhold it. But, nevertheless,the matter got bruited abroad, and, beingnow well proven against him, he unblushingly avows it over his own signature.

This man is not only the Chairman ofthe Democratic State Central Committee,but he is the most prominent candidate forthe Democratic nomination to the U. S.Senate, in case his party should oarry themajority of the Legislature. This is hisplatform; ''The seoession of Pennsylvaniafrom the Union, and her league with therebel States." It is his platform as we now

know from his distinct and emphatic avowal.His mouth-pieces take up his declarationand approve each sentence in detail, andaccept the whole as the platform of theDemocratic party in Philadelphia.

Any vote, therefore, cast at this electionfor a Democratic candidate for the Legisla-ture, however it may be intended, willpractically be a vote for the rebellion ofPennsylvania against the national govern-ment?a vote for the secession of the Statefrom the Union, and for the acceptance ofthe yoke of the rebel oligarchy of the cot-ton States.

A son of Capt. Th&s. llazlett, the demo-cratic candidate for Commissioner, is a mem-ber of the -15 th Pa. Regiment.? Democrat.

Was the democratic candidate for Commis-sioner the man who said he would givo810,003 to have his son out of the army ?

The Democrat boasts that J. 11. Rossand Tom Uttley rushed to the border at thecall of the Governor. Ail nonsense. The for-mer rushed to Ilagerstown and there stopt,and the latter as usual rushed fur aa office.When either goes to serve as a private, it willbe under a draft.

Gen. Jackson, without authority oflaw, suspended the writ of habeas corpus atNew Orleans on the ground of necessity, a dthe old democratic party justified him in it.President Lincoln, by authority of the Con-stitution, suspends it to save tho country, andwhero are those who call themselves demo-crats? Look around, old democrat, and seewhose company you are in.

Most Atrocious Murder.Our city was alarmed late on Friday

evening by the announcement that a girlbetween five and six years o' age, namedMary Elizabeth, daughter of Mr. Eman-uel German, was missing and had beenseen in company with a man wearing asoldier cap, and dressed like a dischargedsoldier. The child was seen with this manat about five o'clock, on Friday evening,going up Second street, hence up Locust toThird, and up Third across the Capitalground. Here ail trace was lost of themand many rumors were circulated regardingthe absence ofthe child* Yesterday fore-noon, however, two colored boys, who werecrossing General Forster's meadow directlyin front of the cemetery, discovered rightat the edge, in a regular swamp, the re-mains of little Mary. These colured boyswent at once to give the alarm, and wordwas immediately sent to Mr. German, in-forming him of the discovery, and request-ing that he should proceed to the spot, forthe purpose of identifying the remains.

Mr. German arrived immediately afterhis notification, and our pen fails us to des-cribe the scene. There was his innocentlittle girl, the hope and happiness of itsparents, murdered in the most brutal man-ner, and that without the least apparent mo-tive for the fiendish deed. A coroner'sju-ry was at once empanneled by AldermanKline. Dr. Roberts was present, who up-on examination, discovered that the childhad been shot directly through the throat,the ball entering on the right side oftheneck, passing directly through the jugularvein and carrying away the left portion ofthe neck almost completely with it. Thechild was lying on its face, with a bruiseabout the size of a Spanish dollar directlyon its forehead, which might have baenreceived in the fall, and the right armshowed the imprints of a band, as if it hadbeen held firmly with one hand whilst withthe other the fatal shot was given, when thechild was standing directly before the brutewho committed the murder. The clothingof the child was somewhat tern and disar-ranged, but after a close examination ofthe body, 110 signs of an attempt at rapecould be discovered. A reward of 51,500has been offered for his apprehension.

The battle of Williamsburg. ?Gen.Hooker, in his official report of the battle ofWilliamsburg, says: "History will not bobelieved, when it is told that the noble offi-cers and men of my division were permit-ted to carry on this unequal struggle frommoruing until night unaided, in the pres-ence of more than 30,000 of their comradeswith arms in their hands. Nevertheless,it is true."

It is stated by a Western paper thatGovernor Morton, of Indiana, has orderedthat forty per cent, of the Quakers of theState be assessed for enrollment, and thosedrafted arc to go or pay two hundred dol-lars.

WAR NEWS.Official despatches from Gen. Grant con-

firm the defeat of the rebels under VanDorn and Price by our forces under Gen.Rosecrans at Corinth. The defeat was notonly decided, and accompanied by greatslaughter of the enemy, but followed by asuccessful pursuit that promises still moreimportant results. From the brief accountsfurnished by the telegraph it appears thatthe combined force of the rebels, supposedto be forty thousand strong, attacked ourtroops at Corinth on Friday morning. Theattack was made with great impetuosity,and the rebels at one time reached thecentre of the town, but were driven backby a bayonet charge. After a tight of sev-eral hours the rebels retreated and an ac-tive pursuit was immediately commenced.Gen. Ord on Saturday overtook the enemyon the south side of the Hatchie river anddrove them across, capturing two batteriesar.d two huudred prisoners. A large num-ber of prisoners were left in our hands inthe first day's fight. The position of therebel army is represented to be in the forksof the Hatchie river, nearly surrounded byour forces. Gen. Grant says that he can-not see bow the rebels are to escape with-out losing everything but their small arms.In the battle of Friday, we had Gen. Haek-leuian killed and Geu. Oglesby seriouslywounded.

A battle is expected to occur very soonat or near Bardstown, Ky. The rebelsLave 35,000 men near that place, and theUnion Central advance was only four milesoff on Saturday. Skirmishes had takenplace, and GOO rebel prisoners taken. Kir-by Smith was at Frankfort with 10,000men, and Humphrey Marshall was on hisway there with 5000.

The latest letters from Mississippi repre-sent the National loss in the battle of lukaat148 killed, 170 wounded arid 94 missing; total312. The loss of the enemy was at least 1,-200 in killed and wounded, and 1000 prison-ers among whom were Col. Mabree, Ist TexasLegion; Lieut. Col. Gilmore, commanding 3dLouisiana Infantry, seven captains and eigh-teen lieutenants.

" All quiet along the Potomac."Gen. Morgan has arrived at Greenupsburg,

Ky., on the Ohio river, fifteen miles abovePortsmouth, lie evacuated CumberlandGap on the night of the 17th ult., withGen. Stevenson's army three miles in hisfiont, with llragg and Marshall on his flanksand Kirby Smith in his rear, lie kept onthe defensive during the march, the caval-ry of Gen. Stevenson and the guerillaMorgan constantly harassing him. liemarched one day twenty four consecutivehours, and on three successive days droveJohn Morgan's men from their suppers.For three days his force was on a limitedsupply of water. iSueh a feat must be es-teemed a great success.

On Thursday last Pars- a Brownlow ad-dressed an audience ol' fifteen thousand, atDetroit, on the war. He approved Mr.Lincoln's proclamation of emancipation,and stated that the Labels were contempla-ting similar - action, and to become colo-nies of England. General Cass occupieda seat upon the stand, and at the conclu-sion expressed his approval of Mr. Brown-low's remarks.
