at tho polls. The masses of tho Democratic pattj ate houest and patriotic at heart, and all thoj need to induce them to rote right is light. Let them have it in abundance. There are a few other duties v.-hich you muit not as good good patriots omit. Go early to the polls and deposit your ballot for Lincoln and Johnson, and re main daring the day to exert your infiaence for the cans. If arrangements have not been made to get ont ovorr Union voter let this duty be attended to at once. Every Democrat will mre to be on . hand. They were stunned and dismay! at- the result cf the recent election in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, bnt the Democratic leader in this place who belong to the S. L. met one night last week and concocted another villianotis scheme which has excited the hopes of tbo rankaad fikv and they are going, to make one more vigoroua e2ort to carry the State. They will nttcr-

jly foil if the Union men do their duty. That consists not merely in depositing their ballots, but after that guarding the balloUbcx until the hit vote ii counted jont. Give them no opportunity to again stnfTit. As an additional precaution get cvory Union roan to write his name on th back of hU ticket. Tho Presidential Election tukts placo this year on Tuesday tho Sth day of November. Don't forget tho day, and bo s.'.5 to be on hand. Wo must help roll r.p t. majority of 40,003 for old Abe in It is tho opinion of some of the best in formed Union -rien that Lincoln will get j the electoral rcte-of every loyal State in i the Union. Tfrinksglvlng Dayy President Lincoln has ifnued a proclamation celling apart the last Thursday in November for a day of Thanksgiving- and praie to Almighty God, for haviag. among other causes for gratitude, vouchjsafed to us many and signal victories over the enemy; and lecoir mending his fellowcitizens to htiiuole themselves in the dnst. and from thence offer np penitent and fer vent prayer and implication to the Grea Dispenser of Events, for a return of the inestimable bl6kiiig of peace, union and harmony thiongbont tho lam): Read tho stirring a ldre of the Nation al Union Committee and President Lin coln's speech to the Man landers, on the fourth, pr.g of to-day's paper. The Democrat attempts to make ont that the Union ticket in this State was elected by fraud, becanse Marion and a few other Union counties gave a largely increased vote. Let r.H examine the matter briefly and see how it stands. The vote in Marion connty is only 12 per cent, in excess of the enrollment,, while in Marsball it i S3-per cent. The enrollment is 2.461 vote 3.027. Let us seo how the matter stand in a fa other strong Democratic counties, where, as in Marshall, th?y have every thing their own way. Orange, en rollment I,5u4, vote 1.S00, excess 26 per nt. Cas. enrollment S.071, vote 2.891. excess-20 per cent. Brown, enrollment 718, vote 1.190. excess 65 percent. Shelby, enrollment 3.202. vote 4,169, excess 30 per cent. Washington, enrollment 2 33S, vote 3.173, excess 35 per cent. We might give many other instances of this sort bnt theße are sufficient to prove that the Democratic cry of fraud is a mere "itop thief," cry, to divert public attention from themselves. That they stuffed the ballot boxes in this county is proved beyond question. The testimony of Harrison, the Grand Secretary of the Order of Sous of Liberty in Indiana, is a crusher upon the Democrats. He sustains Stidger's testimony in every particular, and swears that a large number of the Democratic leaders belonged to the gaag of conspirator, and that their intention was to "incite an inkurrettion" in Indiana. Bingham, editor of the State Sentinel, and Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, has been released from custody upon a promise that he will make a clean breast of it. He is to be pot on the witnea stand in a day or so. The developments on the trials now in progress at Indianapolis are disgusting the honekt men bo have adhered to the Dem ocratic party np to the present time, and they are leaving it daily by scores. Tlr friends of Rev. Mr. Chap in, who wag drafted, thinking he could render more service to the Union cause at home than in the neld, prevailed upon him to- accept a eubstitnte, which they procured for him We nnderitand Mr. C. was quite willing to go, and only consented, at the earnest entfeaty of his friends, to accept a aobsti tnte. ihis is a sufficient answer to the twaddle of the defeated candidate for Judicial honors in the last Democrat.

Here is another certificate showing conclusively that the ballot-box was tampered with. Mr. Low 6 ays he voted a Union ticket with one name scratched.

HarrUon. Grand Secretary of the order, was examined in bvhtlf of the Government. Hin evidence yesterday, confirmed that of Stilger, and others, who testified in the Dodd trial as to the organization and plann of tho order.

Parsons was a Son of Liberty, and he stored the boxes in his building, knowing that they contained pistols. The firt lot was boxes. Twenty boxes came two weeks alter. A letter from John C. Walker, dated New York. May 4th. 1S64. was introduce.! in evidence, in which Walker refers to a general upiiing of the Soeiety, and thinks Democrats should work for that and to that end. A letter from L. P. Milligui. dsted Huntington.

The add i ess ia only n prolonged howl over what they call the tremendons frauds in tho late election, and say that in fourteen counties there was f.an l enough, on the part of the Union men. to wipe out Morton's majority. They exhort the untcrri. fled tt rush once more to the deadly breach, and are confident that Little Mac will swim in what Di Mac was engulphed. It i evident that they aic only whittling to keep their courage up. They don't allude at all to the frauds in the Coppethea.! counties. The military authoiiti-s are very busy recovering and forwarding drafted men. recruits and MjUtitntes. The 144th Regiment, volunteers, was orguii.ed yesterday. Theie are now ah.'tit five thousand men in Camp Carringion, and arrivals ot troops each day exceed thoe snt to the field.

How the Dar was Nearly T.ost The Rebel attack Ih i I. Sheridan Saves the Day. New YonK. Oct. 20 Midnight. nOW TUE DAY OPENED. The World's special correspondent with Shetidan the 19ih, sends the following: On every morning of the , present week but this, the troops have been in readiness at dat break, for an attack, which information furnished by our scouts led us to expect. A precaution which has proved necessary lefore was, for some r?aon. omitted this morning, the apprehensions of another attack having died away. The army was posted along the north bank of Cellar linn, the army of Wcsiern Virginia on the left on the Winchester and Strasburg pike, the extreme left resting ort the Shenandoah, the 19;h C rps on centre or right of pike, and Gth Corps on the right. In the absence of Gen. Sheridan, who was returning from Washington from a visit, and who slept at Winchester last nitfht. Gen. Wright commanded the army. Gen. Rickett's being in command of the Cth t"rps. A densa fog enveloping the country favoie l the enemy's designs. On I the previous night General Early, who proved to be still in command, had mass ed ihiee division of infantry, Pegram's. lion o i a and Ramscnr, it a concealed point, threatening our left. The two remaining divisions, Wheatnn's and Ker thaw's, were moved from Fisher's Hill. along the pike, threatening our centre. bbortly before daylight this morning, while onr array, dreamless of danger, was soundly sleeping, an assault waa made on oar right. Rapid and continuous discharges of sentinel muskets extended thence along onr front towards the left, wäen suddenly the rebel infantry advanced against Gen. Crook's position, in noli I columns, pouring a fierce fire on onr flank and float. Only a poitlon of nnr troop man red the breatsworks when the assault commenced. It was so energetic and deadly as to break the linos at once. Men of both divisions were swept from their breastworks, into which tho infantrv came flooding tike the 6ea. They entered the encampments in the rear of the works, the wearied . soldiers scarcely weakened, snd more of them actually risirg from their blankets. To savo the artillery at the breastworks a desperate conflict began when the assault was frst discovered, bnt the nature of the ground rendered this next to iinrjosbible. Battery B. 6th Pennsyl

vania, six guns; was captured entire. By superhuman efforts all but one gun of the 5th regular battery was saved, leaving seven gnus in the hands of tho enemy. In tho meanwhile the enemy still advanced, completely tearing the left flank of the armv. and were bearing the pike on the heights above. HOW OUR ARMY WAS SURmiSED. The whole aimy was by tlii-i time aroused. Wagons, ambulances and artillery were making for tbo rear. The 19th' corps, which had stood firm drrring the assault on Crook, now- found itself conIronted ny the second division of the enemy, which had moved up tho pike, ami attacked it fiercely io front ad ßank with musketry wid artillery. Col. MrCanly's Istigade, of thu 2d divicion, on the left, swinging out of its position' in front to receive the flrank fire of the foe. The assault iucieased in fierceness. The whole division re-formed itself to meet the shock of the ielcls advancing. They ntorrnted hreastwotks in its front, and with withering volfevs forced them out ia retreat. The entire 19th Corps in abandoning all its woiks now fought retreating and partially broken. The left ot tho army completely turned half of the army, of Western Yiiginia, Hying in dismay through the fog. Its camps and greater part of its camp material was iu posression of the enemy. A remnant, together with part of the provisional division and Col. Kitchen, which had been camped in rear was fi;htinsj stifl for possession of tho pike. The 19th Corps righting more or less stubhmnly, ftlling hack and constantly pressing in stragglers.

Theentiie country about Middlctown and beyond, in the lear, wi populated with demoralized soldiers. The crack of rbel musketry camping laither up on the left toward Middlctown, huriying wagons, ambulance and caissons, and the hiss and explosion of tho enemy's lclls fnm battel ies planted in front of the 19th Corps, gave appearances of a defeat and an impending disaster almost everywhere, such as might have sho ik the hope of fanaticism tUelf. Gea. Wright, with whom it was left to oiganize a plan which should chtnge this dismal a -pect of things, was n-d a whit discouraged. The muTiient that the army of Western Yiruinia and tho 19:h Corps woe found to be dffi.iDtly falling back, he sent an order to the Legion, ih't never yet on any hVhl had tailed to achieve a victory, if possible The Gib Corps, on the light, was ordered to change front, swing around, and stMu ibe tide. Scarcely a moment had elapsed when its column was seen moving majestically hy the left (lark sttaight into the heat of the conflict. Opening for a moment for the pas.ag of stragglers, its line closing up again before the assaults that Still bad not een flayed, bnt like willmT j witness a tempest, it bent hut did not I break. For a moment at leat. tho career jof the rebel in the centre was brought to :a pause. The artillery of tho corps unlimbering rapidly clo to the rear thieatened its answer to to their shells. This brilliant movement could not, however, check the movement ol onr left. Some of thi,:r cavalry had already penetrated ioto Middlctown, captuiing a poitioii ol Gen. Cook's ambulance train, and is reported to have seibmsly wounded Cid. Thobnrn. of ths 21 Division of that com mand Our infantry ha Mrnng around, mum t.oinir lb-t.ik above. and were inst possessing ui" t Merlin's, Powers' and CuMar's divis ions of cavalry were withdrawn from the right and sent to tem the di.-atrons advance of tho enemy. Capt. Adams, with one corporal an 1 one man, stood by this piece when a"! other support had 11 1 . atrl until every horse w.s shot, ant thicorpoial and man weie shot down heride him. Colonel Tompkiu, Chief of aitilleiy, while assist ing in the removal ol one of the guns of Cowan's hat.ery, was slightly wounded by a musket ball. The infantry wt-re also suffering heavily, particularly in officers. In the center tho Hues of the Gth and 19ih corps reformed. The G'.h on the left, the 19th on the right of that. It was found necessary to withdraw the whole Hue some distauce in order to connect with the cavalry who were just advancing to drive the enemy from tho pike on tho left and hold tho field at that point. Thi retrograde movement wa3 not accomplish ed without loss. The enemy followed up and vengefully. lheir bullets rained m upon our artillery, killing off the horses and mn. and embarrassing the attempt o the aitilleiy men to move their guns to the iear. 1 he guns were fought splendidly and fonght every where until tho last mo ment, when it was loun 1 they could not be removed. Two of Capt. Stevens' guns were lost, five of Mcknight's, and two o Adams'. When the lines had reached tho crest, just to the right and rear of Mid lleton. vheie the second stand was made, and a f - I when two terrihc charges ol tne enemy were repulsed, nearly everv field officer in the first division. 6th corps, was wounded. General Ricketts, commanding the corps, had been so badly wonnded, that he was forced to leave the field. G"n. Bidwell. commanding the 61 br.gade, Z i division, was mortally wonn'ed by a shell, which tore his left sbonlder to pieces, and shattered tho left arm of a Captain, one of his aids. Col. Hamlin, commanding the 1st brig ade of Upton's 1st division, was wonnded in two places inrooen me usen ana shoulder but did not leave the field until afternoon. Gen. Getty, commanding the 2d division, had hi hoe shot nn'er him. Gen. Wright, commanding the army, had been slightly wounded in the chin. Th lDih Corp also suffered severely. The battle line of infantry ie-formed on the rest alluded to jnst after Gen. Torheit, with the cavalrry, bad swept on the left. pitching into the enemy in that direction. establishing his line in conjunction with it, and holdir.g bis own against some of the fiercest shelling ever showered on devoted soldiers. 1 GLOOMT LOOK. At this time (10 a. m.), although the appearance of Things in tho rear was still a. . . not that generally seen it tne rear ol a victorions army, and although the ap pearance of a retreat prevailed along some portion of onr lines in front, the army had for the first time during the day so far won a victory over its opening disaster as to have disposed a consistent and wieldy front towards its f e. holding its own in the main against farther attack. The results of the contest were other wise gloomy. We had been surprised and driven out of a splendid position; had lot heavily in prisoners; had lost tweutyfaur piece of artillery and. ihiity-four.

ambulances, including all the medical wagons and tbo medical supplies of the 10th corps, and several headquarter wagons-. We had yielded over two miles, pt tho battlefield to the enemy. Many of our fines! ofilccra-were kitled r.nd disabled, and the killed and wounded thick around us. The enemy on relinquishing his attack contented himself with a lively use of his artillery. ARRIVAL Or SBCT.JDAK. At this moment faint cheers echoed along-the line in the rear. Gen. Sheridan, who had ridden post hatte from Winchester, was apptoauhing. Hi appearance created wild enthu siasm.

Crook's command on the left, and Merrill's cavalry division on" the extreme left, and Custar's division on tho extreme right, male ono magnificent, resistless charge, which swept the enemy o!l the face of the earth before it. A-S ASTONISHED ENEMY very wlw?re tho enemy bed ttetually began to throw np intrenchments, aod was preparing to go into camp when the charge, was made. He wa driven hack at donl-le quick through Middhton. across Cedar Uun. where ho came from, and thence puiixd by our cavalry through and beyond Strasburg. Forty-three pieces of his artillery, the same guns taken from us during tho day, were captured at Strasburg, also over a hundred wag nst and ambulances, and caissons innumerable. The rebel Gen. Uamsenr was captured, in an amhnluitce, seriously, if not mortally wounded. Probably 1,000 prisoners were picked np along our road. Two hour of daylight would have given us the rebel ainiy filmot entire. Ahv just estimate of our loss, or those of the. etpmy, is at present impossible. This army U ordered to move against the enemy at 5 p. in. to-morrow. Good night, 2 a. iu. " FROM MISSOURI GLORIOUS VICTORY OVER PRICE.
