WEDNESDAY,...... .OCTOBER ?, 18G3

The Election.

One week from today, the election in this county takes place. Also, county officers

tre

to be elected in all the counties of the State on tbat day. fhe State elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania occur at the same time. The result of these elections will be looked to with much interest.

The Butternuts hare made the most strenuous exertions for success, without regard to the character of their candidates. They have become as desperate as the rebels themselvesIn Kentucky, Maine, Vermont, California mid Nevada, they have been overwhelmed with defeat, and as a consequence are much discouraged, but yet are determined, by some agency or other, if within the range of human possibility, to succeed in the elections which take placc on Tuesday of next week.

But no less determined are the Union men, to achieve success. Their means, however will be fairly used. They rely on the good judgement and patriotism of the people Tor success. Their candidates are patriotic, Un-ion-loving meu their cause, the cause of freedom and nationality and their motives those of justice and humanity.

Nor, are they lacking in a full understanding of the responsibility which rests upon them. They know, that if VALLANDJGHAM is eleced Governor in Ohio, he will nrrav the Stute, so itir np it is possible 'or him to do FO hi ilie Kederii!

Rebel Gold for Valfandigham Votes. 1 here is no doubt but that, the rebel leaders have forwarded to their friends in Ohio, a large amount of money for the purpose of purchasing rotes "for VxtTErattitlK tag fraying the expenses ef the transportation of voters from the adjoining states, as well as to assist jn defraying tie general expense of the canvass.

The Union m,n« v,iio vote* tho indopendent ticket in this county or Tuesday next, aids anil assinta the bntte- in a direct manner. Every vote t,ak tho Union ticket and given to tho independent candidates, weakens tho regular ticket so much, and thus enables the butternuts to succeed by just BO many votes loss than they would otherwise require.

We ask tho..Union men to ponder this well before caBting his ballot on next Tuesday.— Tho (Tr-.ion ticket is composed of good, reliat!., -j-J ii- mer. 6oiui of whom have made !i avy sucnlices for tho cause of the country since the struggle first commenced, As such it should receive the hearty and united support of tho Union party, and we are glad to know will receive such support. 11 is the duty of each Union man to go to tho JK»11H and work for his ticket until they close. The interests are momentous and not to be ^trilled with, and every true man must evince his de votion to tho cause by working for it. It is not a time now to vote for men on the ground alone, of 'longjacquaintanco," or on the score ofbeing"old friends," or because tho candidal has lived in tho county "forty years," or is an "old pioneer." Old pioneers, arc good enough in the proper place, but when t.hey stand in tho way of the triumph of the Union party, they must be pioneered out of the way. fa man has lived in a place "forty years," and then stands in the way of those who have formerly been his friends, in their efforts in behalf of their imperilled and bleeding country, it would have been better had ho not lived at all. His "forty years" residenco reflects but litllo credit on him, if at last, and at the hour of the greatest need liejturns upon those who have been his friends, that ho may ruin their cause.

On yesterday we stated that a prominent Democratic politician of this city, and who is a influential friend oi D. w. VOORIIEES informed another member of that partv, that Indiana would furnish VALLANDIGHAM ten thousand votes, and that the "South" had sent a large amount of gold to Ohio, to be used as above stated.

This gentleman did not expect i.s statement would be heard but it was heard, and can be proved. As th'13 gentleman is a bosom friend 0 Hon. D. W. VOORHEES, and tho latter being an intimate friend of VALLANDIG HAM, and VALLAXDIGUYTII himself beiBg an intimate friend of JEFFERSON DAVIS, and his associates, the information, doubtless come through an authentic cbaLnel and is in all probability correct.

In the first place the rebel government assisted ALLANDIOHAM in running the|blockade at Wilmington and in going tbence to Canada that he might divert tb" of the Federal Government from the rebellion, to some extent, and in case ot being elected Governor array the State in hostiie collision with tEe National authority. The rebe leaders regard the election of VALLAXDIGHAM as one of the means of assistance to themselves, in their troubles at this time. It would do more tt revive their hopes, than

The butternuts leaders of the North are the aiiies of the rebel ieadeis of the South.— I Their every act, and every word prove it.

Union men! arouse then, from tho ignoble supiucnesa which encompasses you awako from tho lethargy in which you lie bound shako off the dew drops that glitter upon your garments, and once again striko the enemies of your country a blow which will cause them to reel and fall to rise no more to disturb, with their infernal machinations, the loyalty of the land, during tho existence of the rebellion.

Tho ''Unconditional Union" men in Mary land expcct to carrv the State this fall upon the issue of speedy Emancipation. The candidates of tho party for Congress are all true men. They are Mr. Henry Winter Davis, the eloquent, bold and uncompromising champion of Emancipation Messrs. Thomas, Webster, Holland, and Jones. A vigorous campaign will be at once instituted.

Another Cull for Volunteers.! Tho Secretary of War has given to Governer Morton authority to raise seven addi tional Regiments of Infantry and four Regi mentK of Cavalry for the United States service, to servo for three years or during the war.

Tho Seventh Congressional District is called on to furnish, of these troops, seven companies of Infantry and five companies of Cavalry, with the privilege of extending the number of Infantry to a full Regiment of ten companies.

This is in the highest degree, complimentary to our State. By the promptness with which she has responded to all former calls, and the acknowleged bravery of her soldiers, exhibited upon almost innumerable battle fields, sho has wonn imperishable fame.— Whilo some other States liavo held back, sho has so far exceeded the demands upon her ns to render a draft unnecessary and now the Socretary of War has shown bis confidence in our loyalty by giving us an opportunity of avoiding any future draft. It is confidently believed that the State will prove herself worthy ol this confidence, and that the Seventh Congressional .. wu. not fail to perform, promptly, it.3 share in the glorious and patriotic work.

The Government proposes to exhibit to wards these troops the most extraordinary liberality, such as wa* never shown by any Government upon earth before

Besides this liberal allowance, the soldier receives bis subsistence without cost to, himself, and, if he should be honorably mustered out of service before the expiration of the three years, will be paid the whole amount of bounty and his monthly pay up to that time. Speedy enlistments will secure an early termination of tho war, and when this desired event shall bo brought about, th« soldiers will of course, return home. As it is scarcely possible for it to continue three years longer, those who enlist under this call, may reasoablv expect to be discharged before the term of their enlistment expires, and to receive their whole bounty.

I have ventured to assure the Governor tbat the Seventh CoHgressiional District will cheerfully respond to his call. Although it has already sent nearly ten thousand men to the field, I have the fullest confidence that it ha3 yet many thousand others who are ready to take up arms in the cause of their country. Let the enlistments be prompt, so that we may not only maintain the character of our District, but contribute our just share towards maintaing the hitherto untarnished honor ot the State, at:d the integrity of an unbroken Uniiin.

To Ihe Voters of Vigo County.

Since I have been a candidate for re-elec-tion, I hive heard occasionally that objection was made to me on account of the loss of the money placed in rov hands the day before the battle of Richmond, Kentucky, by a portion of tho members of the 7lst regiment.

Stories in regard to this money have been put in circulation by a few of my political enemies but generally by tho man who is styling h-imself (he independant candidate for County Auditor.

I have thought that my conduct both private and public through life among a people where I was born and have lived nearly nil my life would be sufficient ovidenre of my innocence of these charges.

But I find in the past few days that the independent candidate is very busy abusing me about this money. I now propose to put a complete estoppel on his mouth, and on the mouths of all his Democratic friends, and show the public what thirty seven soldiers, who were witti tne at Richmond, Kentucky, and who even sutlers on accouut of the loss of that money, think of this matter.

I have had the following certificate from them for over six weeks past, exhonorating mo entirely from the loss of this money, but as said before 1 did not think it would ever be necessary to publish it to defend myself against such false and slanderous charges.— I am hapay however to know that there is scarcely a Union man in Vigo Coun'y who vattaehes any blame to mo about this mon®'.

Believing as we do that ho was honest in his endeavors to save the money, but failed Irom force of circumstances beyond his control, this statement we give for the benefit of those persons who are making false reports of the matter for political purposes and to jnjure tho character of Mr. Allen.

There arc twho reserves, which may be cabled *t' a moment's notice, ono of old soldiers, and another of young ones—the latter not vet incorporated, but almost ready to bedUmisSed from drill. These. additions would bringihe army up to bettf)een 600,000 and 700,000 mefl.'

The 412,000 men arc thus distributed: in Mexico, two divisions of infantry, a brigade of cavalry, &c., together nearly .'*4,000 men in Cochin China, 1,600 men. These troops are on a war footing. On what is called the rooting of rassemalement is the corps of occupation at Rome, about 20,000 men in one division of three brigades, with a few squadfons of cavalry. On the peace footing, divided into divisions and brigades, are the Army of Paris, the Army of Lyons and the division of cavalry oT LnnevilJe, consisting of four regimeuts.

There is also at Paris what called a reserve brigade, specially alloted to the garrison of the capital, and which sever leave! It These two armies, and theLuneville division may be reckoned at 40,000 men. The Imperial guard forms a special COTps, with a total of 30,000 men. The remainder of the French army is distributed in six great corp3, five in France and one in Algeria. Formerly there were 65,000 or 70,005 men in Algeria, but just now there are not so many, several regiments having been sent thence to Mexico. The troops in Algeria mry be divided into two classes—French corps which remain there in garrison for a certain number of years and then return to France, and what are called indigenous corps, which never quit the colony except for fighting purposes. In these latter corps, however there area great number of Europeans. They eonsist of three regiments of Zouaves, three of Turcos, three ol Chasseurs d'Afrique and three of spahis— about fifteen thousand infantry ana three thousand horse Besides these are the punishment battalions, popularly known as the battalions of Zephyrs.

Nearly all the corps of infantry and artillery in t!.e French army have seen more or less servii e, and. always excepting the vouug soldiers WHO have eutercii the service since 1859, must of ih» ragiracnts one meets are ple ui ully bemeuailcd and decorated.

The Troubles in North Carolina—The i'eoplc i{csiting Rebel Soldiers. The Charlotte (North Carolina) Bulletin of the 10th inst. contains the following signficant paragraphs "We most sincerely regret to learn that there are a large number of conservative (i. e.) submissionists to Lincoln's rule, who prefer fighting their friends aud brothers, and even their fathers, with the deserters from tho atmv. than meeting the Yankees on the battlefield, now banded together to the number of about two hundred at Frailey's, twen ty miles above Statesville, resisting the con stituted authorities.

Promo!ion of Captain Wood, If. S. A Lieutenant Wood, Aid to General Catibv, Chief ol Ordinance and Artillery of the Department of the East, and Superintendent of the armament of the fortifications around the city and in t.ho harbor of New York, has re ceutly been promoted to tho rank of Captain of the regular army, with a commission dating from May last.

Capt. Charles O. Wood was born in Terre Haute, IuUiana, in the year 1837, and is the eldest san of Charles Wood, Secretary of the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad. Capt. Wood was at the age of seventeen elected captain of an independent company, called the Fort Harrison Guards, Terre Haute, and was extensively known in the West for his military capacity. In the beginning of the present rebellion, he was among the first to offer his services to and be accepted by Gov. Morton, from whom he received a commission as Major of the Eleventh Indiana Zouaves in 1861, which position lie accepted, but subsequently resigned, in order to accept a secoDd lieutenancy in the Ninth Regiment ol Infant ry of tne Regular Army, on the 2Gib of April, 1861, bis commission as First Lieuteniut bearing date May 14, 1861. Captain Wood was then appointed to an important position at Fort L.layette, where ho remained until the Istol August, 1S63, at which time General Canby attached him to his staff as Chief ot Ordnance and Artillery of the Department of the East. Captain Wood was cngnged with the rioters in Molt street :.t the time uf tho riot, and with a single company of regulars dispersed a mob numbering between three and four thousand.

We clip tho above from the New York Herald of the 27th ult., and take the utmost pleasuie in adding onr small weight ot tt-sti mooy, that this promotion is a well deserved compliment to the decide! military geuius of Capt. WOOD. It will afl'ord gratification to his many frivnds in this city who have known him Irom his boyhood up, that this, perhaps too tardy, recognition of his ability has been given by his Government, which he serves with so much crcdit to himself and honor to the service. The "Fort Harrison Guard,', which, by the unwearied attention and instrur tion of Captain Ogden Wood was the leading military company of Western Indiana, ia now almost entirely merged into Companies and of the famous 11th Indiana Zouaves. We propose same day to give a history of this Compativ, of which Terre Haute has reason to be so oroud.

Oua WAU MATERIAL—The Government at the present timo has on hand in the different arsenals throughout tho country, seven hundred thousand stand of arms, five hundred tousand of which aro effective. The nun# oci is rapidly increasing, the Springfield mas]? ufacHry aloue turning out 25,000 rifled muskets every month. There are also on hand about 2400 24 and 32 pounder smoothbore cannon, which are rapidly being converted into effective guns by the rifling process.

A Coincidence.

On the 20th of September, 1862, General Rosecrans completed his victory at iukn, Mississippi, haviBg fought the principal batlie and defeated Price the day previous, taking six hundred prisoners, and killing and wounding seven hundred of the enemy. Amen the rebels killed was General Little Precisely one year after, on the 20th of September, 1863, Gen. Rosecrans fought ffloe of the most desperate battles of the war, in Georgia, meeting the combined rebel armies of the Southwest, and, though not victorious, punished the enemy with scvero losses. I:i this battle, Gen. Lyttle, a Union General, is reported to have been killed

BONNETS.—A New York writer says: French styles are ni03t in vogue The hightop, scuttle-shaped patterns aro tabooed, and

in their place wc have something approaching tho always neat and becoming cottage bonnet. Unpretending straw, too, is gradually coming into favor again, to the exclusion of gaudy colors. The profusion of red and scarlet, which has been so conspicnous a feature nil summer, has been succeeded by a violet and vermilion and the darker color a change in perfect harmony with an improved taste. Misses' bonnets have a rose or a leaf of laurel, or a sprig of myrtle "only that and nothing more." As to prices —these, as usual, take a wide range. Suffice it to say, that quotations vary from $5 up to $25 @$30.

Harbor Defences.

There has been great activity recently in putting New York harbor into a state of defence, and the work seems to have been sue cessfully or satisfactorily done, though the details are not made public for obvious reasons. One thousand men have been employed lor a long time past, and most of the libor thus bestowed has been in substituting tie modern armament for the ordinance of snail calibre formerly in use. A the present mo tbey have mounted smoothbore guns of 340, J2S and 64 pounds weight of shot, and rifled guns of 300. 200 and 100 pounds weight, which constitute the armament of forts in the harbor. Some guns of the old pattern are still retained 4 inch guns are now being cast, and for which the lorts are prepared.— An experimental guuof formidable character i-t also to be employed. These works are by the United States, but the State government has also voted a million of dollars to the same object, and out of this barriers are nc« being constr ucted to close the ship channels against the approach of an euemy. These barriers are floating islands, built of an indestructible material, in the chanuels—from Long Island Sound and from the sea—and so arranged opposite tho principal fortifications as to check the enemy and bring him directly under the concentrated fire of hundreds of powerful cannon. Those who have seen the defenses of New York say that they are of the most effective character, embracing stone walls and earthworks heavily armored the throats and pxterior face of stone masonry about the: embrasures is effectually protected by heavy plates of iron.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Oct f».—A letter from Dal ton, Ga.. tha 2(itb of S^temberj published in tho Richmond-Dispatch,. Saturday, sayatiie over sanguine multitude will bo somewhat disappointment to know that the chances of Bragg's taking Gen. Rosecrans armyf is no easy job, although his losses have

been heavy, yet he has a very formidable army. About 2,500 remain in the field hospitals,jvho are top severely wounded to cudure transportation.

A report was reachctl at I)alton yesterday, that Gen. Sam, Jones occupied Knoxvilie, and that Gen. Burnside retreated toward Cumberland Gap.

The Examiner says there is no fighting at Chattanooga. Loose telegrams from irresponsible parties would have us believe that Bragg had cut off Rosecrans communications, holding Lookout Mountain and the road to Nashville &c., but from Bragg's failure to resume the offensive, we fear there is too much truth in Rosecrans* dispatch to his Government, tbat ho held an impregnable position.

It is said that Burnside has succeeded in reinforcing him. and we have no reason to doubt it.

Tmboden has recently made a descent OB the B. & O. with tho design of ob structing passage of reinforcements for Rosecrans, but sad to say, ho was a day too late

The Richmond dispatch of Saturday last, has Gen. Lee's official report of his Pennsylvania campaign. It occupies nearly three columns of the Dispatch. The reasons for the campaign are thus summed up:

The position occupied by the enemy opposite Fredericksburg being one in which he could not be attacked to advantage, it was determined to draw him from it. The execution of this purpose embraced tha releif of the Shenandoah Talley from the troops that hnd occupied the lower part of it during the winter and spring, and if practicable the transfer of the scene of hostilities north of the Potomac. It was thought the corresponding movements on the part of the enemy, to which thos contemplated by us, would probably give rise to, and might offer a fair opportunity to strike a blow at the army then commanded by General Hooker, and in any event, tbat tne army would be compelled to leave Virginia, and possibly to dr*w to its support troops designed to operate against other parts of the country. In this way it was supposed the enemy's plan of campaign for the summer won.'

broken up, and

part of the season of operations be consumed in the^ormano.. new combinations, and tho preparations that they would require. In addition to theso advantages, it was hoped that other valuable results might be attached by military success. He admits large losses, but docs not state them.

Yesterday morning, as somo of our teamsters were foraging near the Rapidan, north of Clark Mountain, one of the enemy's entrenched batteries fired seven shots at them. The rebels had previously given our pickets notice that they should do so if they repo tted tho act. No one was injured.

A rebel brigade occupied a strong position norih of the Rapidan, near the railroad, a short distance from our line. The road is in good order between the two lines.

Our troops strongly picketed tho Rapidan to its mouth, thence down the Rappahannock below Falmouth. The guerrillas still infest tho southern side of the Potomac. Some of their raids and captures, it is known, might be provonted iC our troops were more watch

fill.

FROM PHILADELPIIfA.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. f.—A special dispatch from Knoxvil!?, Tcnn., to tho Bulletin says, Col. Carter has taken position at Bull's Gap

The rebels still hold Greenville strongly reinforced. Bayard and Woolford are still in advanco of Loudon, skirmishing with the rebel cavalry.

The rebel attack on McMinnviUe indicates a formidable flank movement to cut Rose cran's lines and isolate Burnside.

On tho 2f-th the rebels attacked our right and were repulsed sfter a fight of two hours. A Jlarge number of rebels were taken prisoners. They express mortification at the result of Chicamauga battle. Their losses exceeded ours.

FROM NEW YORK,

NEW VOCE, Oct. 6.—The Commercial's Washington correspondent, says the Presi dent lias prohibited the further enlistment ol Maryland slaves in the army also that he will not allow any coi respondent to telegraph any news relative to K.i.«*erans army, to the North, although xintrieil from the published columns of the Washington news

papers.

FROM LOUISVILLE

LOI'ISVILLE, Oot. fi —'I i.o Nashville Dispatch of to-day, sys the rebels burned the railroad bridge at Stuaits Creek, and an

other over Stono river. After the capture of McMinnviUe by the rebels, under Wheeler, they burned ono locomotive, ten cars, and took a number ot railroad men as prisoners. Subsequently, Col. McCook, with a brigade of Federal cavalry, attacked them and scattered them in every direction. Tho rebels left behind all prisoners. They had taken several hundred hories. McCook killed and wounded one hundred and twenty-five and took ninety prisoners.

On Sunday morning the Confederates appeared before Murfrecsboro, driving the Federals into their entrenchment-) and threatening the town. After remaining all day and p*rt of the night, tney destroyed the railroad bridgo crossing a fork of Stone riv* er about three miles distaii?, when it i3 supposed they retired.

Tho Nashville Journa. tdiiorially says, that Webster, with near 8,000 rebel cavalry and mounted infantry, has succeeded in getting into the rear of Rosecrans, and threatens to brleak his railroad connections. There seems to be rebel cavalry all along the Chattanooga road watching for weak points.

OoUr forces nttacked and captured four hundred rebels, who were tearing up the railroad track near Christiaoa Cave

THE 5-20 LOAN.

PHILADELPHIA, October 6.—The subscrip

FROM CHARLESTON.

NEW YOKE, October 6.—Tho Post savs by the arrival of the steamer Fulton, at this

port, from Charleston, that wo have a report, apparently on good authority, that the head quarters of Gen. Gilmore had been removed, from Morris Island to Polly Island. Tho continual sinking of tho beach of Motris Island has rendered the removal of the F«d «ral hea 'quartera, the body of the troops and tho material, a measure of convenience, whilo there are Sanitary reasons, which would be ultimately controlling, there are said to be other causes for the change. Among them is, that the trrops will not bo less available in the future operations against Charleston, if they are entirely utit of range of any batteries the rebels have or can erect ou James Island.

Recent firing from General Gilmore's bat teries, of which wo have received news from rebel courlere, wero directed airiest exclu sively against tho efforts that they were making, and which tho rebels do not disclose, to errcct now batteries in the rear of Fort Sumter.

It appears that our reconuoitering boats, which passed near the walls during the night, discovered that tho garrison was conducting extensive operations, and indications werr that the rebels, who were gathering in large numbers, would be occupied in erecting batteries inside of the ruins, with the intention of using them when the works should be sufficiently advanced to justify the removal of the broken walls and debris which pro tected the workmen and concealed their operations from view.

The rapid and heavy firing of our guns, it is expected, will not only stop this work but render rebel occupation of Sumter precarious if not impossible.

Gen. Gilmore's operations on Morris Island are actively going on. The battery on CuSmings' Point now shields our troops while perfectly, while the condition of Wagner is such as to protect the troops from all hazard, still there are a few casualties all of which occur in consequence of unnecessary exposure. Tho batteries which is designed to throw Greek fire are now nearly completed, and recent experiments have shown that the fire may be safely and effectively used.— Charleston is within fair range of the guns already placed and which aro in such number as will insure the destruction of the city when they are turned upon it. This event will not take place until other plans are completed and tha Navy is ready to co-operate with the array.

The complaint against Admiral Dahlgren is universal. Our naval officers and soldiers believe that Admiral Farragut will soon take command of the fleet in Charleston Harbor, and they express tho utmost confidence that tho re suit of the operations there undertaken will be successful.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, October 6.—A band of guerrillas, under tho famous W heeler, of London county, mado a raid last night into Langley,

six miles above Georgetown, driving in tho "pickets. They had two pieces ef artillery. Major General Hancock, writing to a friend in Washington, expresses a hope to join the army within three weeks. He is lame and not ablo to ride horseback, but his wound is healing fast. i^Thecase of. Hunter, Chief Clerk in tho

State Department against Count Garowiskee, will be beard at the Criminal Court this week. The indictmeut alleges that the Garowiskee publication was for the purpose of inducing tho belief that Huuter violated the confidence and responsibility of his office of tho Government.

Last night tho guerrillas entered Fairfax C. II., seized a considerable amount of Sut tier's goods. A visit was also paid to a Gov ermen farm at Falls Cdurch, but a vigilance guard frustrated tho efforts of the gang.
