PARKE CO. DEM0CRAT.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1864. To Business Men. The Parke County Democrat starts out with larger circulation than country newspapers generally ever obtain. Hence, it offers unprecedented inducements to business men generally, as an advertising medium. The New York Herald's Shenandoah Valley correspondent puts the Federal loss in the late battle of Sheridan at 5,000. We lost in the morning 24 guns. It is claimed that we captured about 50 guns and 7,000 men. General Longstreet is not in the Valley, but the Confederate command was with Early. It is laid by the New York Herald's Washington correspondent that Grant can capture Richmond when he pleases, but it would be at too great a sacrifice of life. The rebels are very active in Tennessee and Kentucky with their guerilla bands. The United States steamer Niagara has arrived off Shoreham with a Spanish steamer, seized as a blockade runner. The ship Southern Rights, of Maine, has been captured by the Florida and released under bonds. It is stated that Price is in full retreat from Missouri, followed by Curtis, The latter is about 25 miles south of Kansas City. Gold closed in New York, on the 24th at 217 3/8. The commercial panic still continues in England. Captain Semmes, with eight officers of the Alabama and 100 men, have left Liverpool to be transferred to the Ranger, lying near there. It is reported that there are 20 deaths daily, of the yellow fever, in Charleston. It is said the blockading squadron off Wilmington has been largely increased, in order to prepare for the vessels fitting out in England. The Richmond Examiner thinks the campaign in Georgia must result in the capture or destruction of Sherman's army. The Petersburg Express thinks Grant is getting ready for another movement, which may take place at any time. Refugees from the Shenandoah Valley report that the rebels have still immense quantities of grain in that country. The rebels have blown up and sunk the United States steamer Nyphoon. The sinking of the Nyphoon is contradicted by Federal reports. General Custer has been made a Major General in consequence of his achievements in the Valley. An effort to rule out, before a Court in Baltimore, the soldiers' vote on the new Constitution was overruled, it being a subservient tribunal of power. A Religious Denomination Abandons its Principles. The Indianapolis Journal contains a communication, from which we make the following extract: QUAKER INFLUENCE Is looking over the late election returns,

it will be readily observed that in those counties where the Society of Friends are most numerous, the Union majorities are largest. The following table contains the names of a number of counties and the quarterly meetings of Friends in each, and the Union majorities in said counties respectively: County. Quarterly Meeting. Majority. Hamilton ... Union ... 1,880 Henry ... Spiceland ... 1,885 Wayne ... Whitewater ... 2,874 Randolph ... New Garden ... 1,325 Grant ... Northern ... 817 Howard ... Honey Creek ... 863 Hendricks ... Plainfield ... 1,599 Parke ... Western ... 896 Total ... 12,010 As the leading tenet of the "Society of Friends" is Peace, it is fair to infer that in those counties they that belonged to it, who have supported the War candidates, have forfeited all claim to the title. A Quaker who has influence for War and War candidates, is a burlesque upon the name, and does his best to throw the Society into contempt and ridicule. Cincinnati Enquirer. We have shown that as a people we can fight well; now let us show that as a people we can vote intelligently and honestly. N. Y. Tribune. Very good. And, in order that we may vote intelligently and honestly," give us a fair chance to vote. Call off the Administration dogs that have fastened on the neck of free press and free speech. Take the buck and gag from off the Baltimore Evening Post, and let it speak again. Stop arming Loyal League. Union War Eagles and Lincoln Artillery, to overawe voters on election day. Abolish test oaths and other unconstitutional contrivances to trap honest voters. Give McClellan newspapers and McClellan documents free passage through the mails along with the ab-

olition, disunion poison. . Stop excluding officers from the army who manfully own that they prefer their old beloved leader to Mr. Lincoln. Stop distributing cart loads of government money in Pennsylvania and other States. Just relieve us from the horrible pressure - the moral nightmare - of this administration upon the liberties and consciences of the people, if you want to see them "vote intelli-

gently and honestly," or does the Tribune consider no votes intelligent or honest that are not cast for Abraham Lincoln? If the Tribune wants a fair vote, why dees it hesitate to denounce that last infamous outrage - the forcible suppression of the only conservative paper in Baltimore? The administration press remains dumb. Their cowardice is exciting the contempt it deserves. But the votes roll up for McClellan. All looks well. - N.Y.. Jour. Commerce. We understand that the Republicans at Indianapolis had four men busily engaged for three days prior to the election whitewashing negroes to vote on Tuesday. Formerly the symbol of the government was U.S., meaning Us, the people. Now it is "I," written in the small of men's backs, meaning "I, Abraham Lincoln." MATRIMONIAL!
