What you Swallow when yon Vote
the so-called Democratic Ticket.
To show what doctrines men profess,
endorse and encourage, when they voted
the false Democratic, or Copperhead
Ticket, we select a few specimen sen
tences from Copperhead authorities.
No honest man can read them without
shttme that such doctrine can be pro
fessed in America:
"Negro slavery is the foundation of
Liberty and the Essence of the Democ
racy." New York Day Book.
" There never has been anything call
ed for by the South, and there never can
be, that I would not willingly consent
to." Speech of State Senator Clark, of
Wisconsin, March, lsou.
" History, will relate that we (the
North) manufactured the conflict, forced
it to hot-bed precocity, nourished and in
vited it." Detroit Free Press, AprillQ,
1862.
"Well, tell them (Congress) that a
Cromwell will rise in their midst before
they progress too far, who will bring
their head to the block without delay or
mercy." Free Press, March 24
" I say to you, my constituents, that as
your representative, I will never vote
one dollar, one man, or one gun to the
administration of Abraham Lincoln to
make war apon the South" D. W.
Voorhees, M. C. 1th Dtil Ind., April,
1861.
" The Democracy will yet teach Abe
Lincoln and his co-usurpers that the
way of the transgressors is not easy."
Hon. A. C. Dodge, of Iowa.
"This is a damned Abolition war, and
we believe Abe Lincoln is as much of a
traitor as Jeff. Davis.' Ashland, (0.)
Democratic Union.
" The President and his cabinet were
never worthy of the confidence of the
nation. The Democratic party should
never have given his assent to the ap
peal to the sword, after the affair at Fort
Sumpter." Detroit Free Press.
"The Ashland, (O.) Union, a Demo
cratic Organ, speaking of dur soldiers,
calls them hired Hessians going to the
sunny Southern soil to butcher by whole
sale, not foreigners but good men, as ex
emplary Christians as any of our men."
" The Crawford Co. Forum, referring
to our soldiers says:
" It (the Administration) has put arms
in the hands of outlaws, thieves, murder
ers and traitors."
"The Democratic Press, Taylorville,
111., speaking of the Republican party,
and the army, says:
"In power lesa than a year, it has
spent millions of the people's money,
and five hundred thousand men are em
ployed to steal negroes from their South
ern masters."
"If the North and Houth are ever uni
ted, we predict it. will be when the Con
federate States North shall adopt the
new constitution, (of Jeff. Davis,) or
something very near it. There's a good
time coming boys." Van Buren Co.
Press at Paw Paw.
" Why this expenditure of more blood
and treasure in a hopeless enterprise
why blame men for being traitors? We
cannot see why." Detroit Fre$ Press.
"There, sir, is the damnable abolition
ist who administers the Government.
The people ought to rise up and by
physical force hurl hira from the ehair
of the Government In the eyes of God
and men, the people would be justified.
They should do it ; and I will go with
them." Judge Pratt s speech in the
Michigan Legislature, Feb. 12, 1863.
" George W. Peck, of Ohio, in a
speech before the Lansing Democratic
Association, March, 1863, said:
You black Republicans begun this
war. You have carried it on for two
years. You have sent your hell hounds
down South to devastate the country
and what have you done? You have
not conquered the South. You never
can conquor them. And Why? Because
they are our brethren."
" John H. George, N. H., Democratic
nominee for Congress declared."
" I won't do anything to sustain the
President, Congres, or any of the Pi
ratical Crew that have control of this
Government. I won't do anything that
can, in any way, be interpreted as sup
porting this war."
From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Gen. Lee's Report.
We may reasonably suppose that Gen.
Lee has not set forth in his official re
port all his plans and objects in his
Pennsylvania campaign, but he shows
plainly that they were all defeated. He
speaks of "other valuable results to be
attained by military success," but as the
military success was not attained, the
others did not appear ; and we doubt if
he saw the signs that he expected.
He says he undertook to draw Hooker
north for the purpose of attacking him.
Hooker marched north, but Lee says he
pursued the roads near the Potomac,
and no favorable opportunity was offered
for attack. Purely there were all the
battlefields they had fought over before.
But it seems from this that Lee expected
Hooker would fol ow his march west
ward into the Valley of Virginia, and
leave Washington and the North open.
Iu this he reckoned without his host
Lee's march began on the 3d of June.
It as promptly discovered, and he ad
mits that Hooker's dispositions discon
certed his plan. A national force
crossed the Rappahannock, and threat
ened the rear of the rebel column. A
cavalry force crossed higher up and at
tacked'. Lee says it was repulsed, but
these operations must have delayed his
movement.
Lee's forces captured Winchester,' of
course. The place was indefensible, and
the only alternative ottered to its com
maudcr, upon the advance of a heavy
force, was to run in advance, or wait to
retreat with honor, and be cut up. The
court martialinsr of the commander at
Winchester is only a diversion to cover
the incapacity that placed him there.
It is mlbciHI to see any rationality in
Lee's plans as he describes them. It is
strange that he should have expected to
draw Hooker into any more favorable
opportunity for attack than was offered
in the country east of the mountains,
and between the Rappahannock and Po
tomac. There was but two other possi
ble places; one in the Shenandoah Val
ley, if Hooker had followed Lee's march.
But this Lee could hardly have expected.
The other was in case Hooker could have
hurried into Maryland in advance of Lee.
Hut wis he could not have expected, af
ter his efforts to get the start of Hooker
in the march North. It would appear
EVANSVILLE, IND., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 14 1863.
that Lee began the campaign without
any definite idea, and that when begun
he found it too much for him.
Lee's advance had reached the Poto
mac, and still Hooker was marching
North covering Washington. To draw
hjm forth from hii-JJbase, Lee ordered
Longstreet's corps to march east of'lilue
Ridge, and occupy the gaps in Bull Run
Mountains, and a heavy cavalry forca
was thrown out beyond. This was at-
tacked by our cavalry, and after a severe j
fight driven back. A part of Ewell's
corps entered Maryland, and Jenkin's :
cavalry penetrated to Chambersburg. j
It is interesting to rad the statement j
of General Lee that these demonstra- i
tions did not have the effect to cause our
army to leave Virginia, and that neither
did Hooker seem disposed to advance on
Longstreet. Therefore he was with
drawn and the whole army pushed for
ward in pursuance of its undertaking to
draw Hooker out of Virginia and away
from his base.
Lee marehed to Chambersburg, and
on the 29th was about pushing on to Har
risburg, when he heard that Hooker had
crossed the Potomac. No sooner had
he accomplished his object of drawing
Hooker from Virginia and farther from
his base, than he found his own base
threatened. He therefore found it ne
cessary to concentrate his forces, and
the various corps took up the march to
Gettysburg. By a singular fatality Stu
art's cavalry, which was left behind to
harass our crossing of the Potomac, be
ing unable to effect anything serious,
marched to join the main body, by such
a route that our column was interposed
between it and Lee's army, until it reach
ed Gettysburg, so that Lee derived no
information from that
Lee knew little of the movements of
our army, and he says his march
towards Gettysburg was more leis
urely than it would lave been had he
known. Two of Ewell's divisions and
two of Hill's, came upon the advance of
Howard's corps beyond Gettysburg.
That affair is well known to our readers.
On our part it was rare, rash and disas
trous. Our leading division, coming
suddenly upon the enemy, deployed into
line on the double-quick, and went into
the fight without stopping to find out the
force they had to encounter. The result
was a severe and heavy repulse, and a
heavy loss in prisoners; but, as was sup
posed at the time, and as Lee now says,
this success encouraged the enemy to
make the attack which resulted in their
total repulse and the defeat of the whole
campaign.
Lee says: "It had not been intended
to fight a general battle at such a dis
tance from our base, unless attacked by
the enemy; but finding ourselves sud
denly confronted by the Federal army,
it became a matter of difflcultv 'to with
draw through the mountainsjjwith our
large trains." It seems that he was
pushing north to draw Hooker from his
base, so as to attack him, but did not in
tend to attack him so far from his own
base. In short, in marching North to
draw Hooker, he caught a Tartar
Lee shows, also, that the anticipations
of drawing unbounded supplies from the
agricultural stores of Pennsylvania,
were disappointed. The transferring of
the scene of hostilities north of t,li Po
tomac, did not answer the expectations.
He says we were able to restrain his fo
raging partion l.y qoruij.yi 114? the liasses
in the mountains with regular and local
troops, and a battle thus became a meas
ure unavoidable. "There were also val
uable results that would ensue from the
defeat of Meade's army." The first con
flict was on the morning of July 1 ,u In
stead of following up that great success,
the attack was not made until the after
noon of the 2nd. Lee says of this delay:
" The attack was not pressed that after
noon, the enemy's force being unknown,
and it being advisable to await the arri
val of the rest of our troop3."
This was remarkable prudence on the
heels of such a success. But this ena
bled our troops to come up also, and to
take up strong position, strengthen it,
and make all its dispositions for a pitch
ed battle. The operation was deliberate I
rather tnan .Napoleonic. All things be
ing duly prepared, Lee attacked at the
mature hour of the afternoon of the 2d.
Alter severe hgiiting he had some suc
cess on his right, where his plan was to
get hold of a commanding point in our
position, which encouraged him to re
new the attack next day, in which he ad
mits a decisive repulse. He magnani
mously says, more may have been re
quired of his troops than they were able
to perform, and gives the highest praise
to their valor and fortitude.
Lee's account of his retreat will not
tend to mitigate the public disappoint
ment that he was not attacked. ' Nor
will his showing that his campaign was
completely foiled by the movements of
Hooker soften the public contempt for
the carpet generalship that raised a dif
ference with him about the adding of the
Harper's Ferry garrison of 12,000 men
to his army, after their position had been
rendered of no importance, and which,
for this, caused a change of commanders
in the face of the enemy, ard then gave
the point up to his successor.
The Greek Fire.
A recent letter from Morris Island
gives the following account of the prepa
ration of Greek fire, and some experi
ments therewith:
Your correspondent yesterday wit
nessed some experiments with this new
incendiary agent, calculated to deter
mine if it would cause premature explo
sion of shells containing it NinS shells
were fired from a aU-pounder Farrott
c,un into the sea. Of these two con
tained each IU 01 the small tin tubes in
which the Greek tire is packed, in addi
tion to the bursting charge of powder.
The other seven had each four tubes of
the inflammable article. The first shot
had a charge of ten tubes. This had a
wooden plug instead of a fuse. It fell j
into the water without exploding. The
second, containing ten tubes, with a five-
second fasft exploded 150 feet from the
gun and was deemed an evidence of pre
mature explosion by the Captain of Ord
nance in command, who declared that
the shell should in five seconds travel at
least 1,200 feet To this Mr. Short, the
proprietor of the Greek fire, objected
that the fuse might have been defective
or imperfectly adjusted. Accordingly,
he was invited to see the remaining fuses
placed in the shells. The Sergeant per
forming this duty carefully filled them
in with white lead to prevent leakage of
gas into the shell from the chamber of
the gun by the ignition of the powder
therein. The seven remaining shells
were discharged at various elevations,
with 5, 10 and 12-second fuses, most of
the shells exploding into the air when
their fuses had burned through, the
others falling unexploded into the sea,
owing to the depressiou of the gun. The
fir it shot and the seven last tired prove
that the Greek fire did not, as charged,
e vplode the sheila prematurely. This
was all that was required to be proved
by the experiment.
Of the incendiary power of the Greek
fire your correspondent was enabled to
judge by igniting some himself, and
thrusting it alternately into water and
sand. Several seconds' immersion in
either was ineffectual to extinguish the
flame.
Another tube thrown under water on
the beach, was exhausted of its contents.
The thick pitchy smoke that bubbled up
through the water, continued two minutes
to prove that combustion still went on.
A third tube was fired and buried on the
beach, the wet sand being pressed and
stamped on all sides of it, so that the air
was excluded from the flame. In four
minutes it was dug up and found to have
quite burned out. A substance that will
burn two minutes, inextinguishable by
any of the appliances ordinarily at hand,
must be a very dangerous incendiary
agen. -.Chemists know how to compound
several such mixtures; but, as all those
heretofore made have been liquid or gas
eous in their form, the danger of using
them has been very great. Mr. Short has
reduced his compound to a solid body,
inexplosive and notliableto spontaneous
combustion. He packs it in tin tubes
three inches in length and three-fourths
of an inch, in diameter. These are lined
inside and out with pitch. The solid
compound is tightly packed into them, a
fuse being inserted at one end. They are
then covered with brown paper and de
posited in wooden boxes of 250 each,
ready for use. It would seem that they
might be made available for the same
purpose as hand grenades are used for.
Mr. Short might, with advantage, cause
them to be packed in sheet iron boxes
instead of wooden ones. Indeed they are
so very liable to aggravate dangerous
fires when kept near other articles of
ordnance that it would be well to set our
patent fire-proof safe makers at work to
devise light and portable packing cases
for them, intended specially to preserve
them, for a time at least, from contact
with fires accidentally kindled.
Rebel Reports - Bragg's Loss set
down at 30,000 -He was shame
fully Worsted.
The Richmond correspondent of the
New York Daily News, under date of
September 20th, has the following in re"
lation to the late battles in Georgia:
Bragg has fought a battle, and Bragg
has reported to the Department that ho
gained a great victory. But Gen. Bragg
does not mention what his losses were,
although we know that, according to tho
accounts of the sanguinary conflict, tho
battles near Chattanooga may be called
drawn fights both opponents as terribly
used np. To a great extent Gen. Bragg
had lost the confidenae of the people,
from the fact that he has so often de
ceived them by false dispatches, credit
ing himself with victories when he actu
ally suffered a most disasterous defeat
for instance, at Shiloh. But the public
is credulous, and any rumor of a victory
sets them ablaze, and no matter who is
the leader, he is at ouce exalted.
The list of killed, wounded and mis
sing will not fall short of 30.000. Among;
the latter is Brigadier-General Adams,
of Texas, who was reported badly wound
ed and in the hands of the enemy. Thir
teen Generals have been put hors de
combat in the last engagement, and have
been either killed, wounded or captured.
The brave General Kemoer, who has re-
cuutly I"' i escU&uiQjil for tho ' -lornl
General Graham, remains still in this
city. He is in very feeble health, but
expects soon to assume active duties.
His promotion is earnestly solicited by
his numerous friends, and as soon as he
is able to take the field, it will be as Ma
jor General.
Robert E. Lee, Com;nander-in-chief of
the army in Virginia, has been in town
for two days past, consulting with the
authorities as to future movements. It
is understood that the army is about to
go into winter quarters, but this infor
mation is imparted merely as " Court
gossip." The general impression, how
ever, is, that General Lee will not move
f. ojs I, is fortified positions on the Rapi
dan and Gordonsville, unless sorely
pressed by Meade's army, in which case
he can readily fall back on the intrench
ments around this city.
The flower of his army is at present
with Bragg. General Longstreet, on
being ordered to reinforce the army on
the Tennsesee, received permission to
pick his men. He selected his favorite
Generals, the lamented Hood and Gen
eral Jenkins, who was the terror of tho
foe on the Nansemond last spring, and
a number of others well and favorably
known. Having such veteran troops to
fight with men of Mars, and distin
guished themselves in every battle from
Bull Run to Gettysburg, Bragg was ex
pected to annihilate the Union army,
and not only to re-capture Chattanooga,
but also pursue the flying enemy, and at
once take possession ot iNashvilie, and,
in fact, of all Tennessee. Longstreet
feels the disgrace badly, and only his
great patriotism and devotion to country,
cause him to serve under an officer who
is greatly inferior to him a man and a
soldier. It will astonish no one to hear
very soon that Braxton Bragg has been
relieved, and General Longstreet ordered
to assume his command. Such a result
would give general satisfaction.
