Report Of the Ladies' Aid Society Of Chambersburg
(Column 3)Summary: Presents a report of the Ladies' Aid Society of Chambersburg. They filled boxes with foodstuffs, bedding, and clothing sent to Gettysburg to aid the thousands of citizens there who were devastated by the battle.
(Names in announcement: Martha J.Nixon)Excerpt: "A lady who spent weeks in the work at Gettysburg remarked to us, that no one could form any conception of the work they accomplished, unless they had witnessed their unwearied labors of love."
Full Text of Article:Believing that united and systematic effort only could accomplish the work of relieving the suffering in the Army, the "Ladies' Aid" became last April an auxilery [sic] of the "Women's Branch Sanitary Commission," and subsequent visits to the wounded at Gettysburg confirmed the good opinions formed of the Christian and Sanitary Commissions. A lady who spent weeks in the work at Gettysburg remarked to us, that no one could form any conception of the work they accomplished, unless they had witnessed their unwearied labors of love. When the citizens of Gettysburg had been three days in their cellars and without bread for themselves, with 20,000 wounded left there, then these men came as angels of mercy, as almoners of the bounty of American people, and to see them go from one to the other of these suffering heroes, writing their letters, and giving them words of encouragement and trying to fill a mother's and sister's place, and hear them tell with tears in their eyes of the blessedness of the work, would convince the most careless observer that these were the proper channels through which to send gifts.
We forwarded in May and June 7 boxes containing the following goods (including a package from the ladies of Fayetteville, consisting of 4 shirts, 7 pair of drawers, 1 pair of pillow cases and 2 quilts,) 90 pillow cases, 62 pair drawers, 75 shirts, 14 bed sacks, 76 sheets, 127 towels, 68 handkerchiefs, 7 pair of stockings, 6 fans, 20 comforts, 15 quilts, 4 blankets, 22 wrappers, 4 pair of slippers and 14 pillows; also from friends in town and country a large quantity of canned and preserved fruit, bologna sausage, 14 doz. eggs, corn starch, farina, jellies, butter, &c.
Mrs. Grier, of Philadelphia, acknowledges our boxes in the following terms: "We received your well filled boxes and thank your society on behalf of those brave men, upon whom the Commission will have the pleasure of bestowing their contents. truly this is a noble work, and I doubt if the history of the world will produce another instance of the organization of so vast a scheme of benevolence. The donors are counted by millions and the army who receives it is 700,000 strong. It is a great work, but it can be performed while the people--especially the women of the country--are true to their mission. God grant that so it may be, and that there be no abatement of patriotic fervor or humane influence while there remains heroes among us, to be cared for living, or watched and tended in dying."
We also received and forwarded three large and valuable boxes from the ladies of St. Thomas Township, containing butter, fruit, jellies, tea, corn starch, tomatoes, &c.
After the battle of Gettysburg we received and forwarded from friends in Greenvillage, 32 loaves of bread, 23 dozen of rusk, butter, apple butter, dried fruit, &c. And from our own society, shirts, sheets, towels, drawers, 8 pillows, 18 handkerchiefs, bologna sausage, tongue, chip beef, corn starch, 4 bottles of wine, raspberry vinegar, &c. Other articles received at that time were used in Hospitals at home. To these latter we desire to call the attention of our friends. Such articles as apple butter, peach butter, pickles, &c., are needed and will be thankfully received.
Persons having old cotton or linen are requested to leave it at Nixon's Drug Store, for the use of 500 wounded still at Gettysburg.
Martha J. Nixon, Sec'y.

A Glance At The Struggle
(Column 1)Summary: Details Gov. Curtin's election victory. The Repository claims that Curtin's majority would have been larger if Woodward had not disfranchised the soldiers. The editors claim that the southern counties labored under heavy difficulties. The rebel invasion brought increased influence to Copperheads who encouraged citizens to vote against Curtin because the state government was slow in its compensation to the invaded areas. They also criticize the Provost Marshal General's insistence that thousands of men cross the Alleghenies for examination in Charlottesville for possible exemptions. Instead, the editors suggest that the three officers and a few clerks should have gone to those counties.
Excerpt: "The poll is unprecedented--being larger than that of 1860, notwithstanding the fact that full twenty thousand brave Pennsylvania voters now fill untimely graves, heroic martyrs to the preservation of our sacred Nationality, and not less than fifty thousand more were denied the right of suffrage solely because they confront the foes of the Republic in the field."
Full Text of Article:In another column of to-day's paper we give the official vote for Governor. The poll is unprecedented--being larger than that of 1860, notwithstanding the fact that full twenty thousand brave Pennsylvania voters now fill untimely graves, heroic martyrs to the preservation of our sacred Nationality, and not less than fifty thousand more were denied the right of suffrage solely because they confront the foes of the Republic in the field. Gov. Curtin's majority seems small with so large a vote cast; but it must be borne in mind that of those who were refused the privilege of voting certainly nineteen-twentieths of them would have cast their votes for him. Had the popular expression of the State not been restrained by Judge Woodward's decision disfranchising the soldiers, Gov. Curtin would now be the Governor elect by not less than 50,000, instead of the meagre 15,000 by which the State has been barely saved from fatal hostility to the government. Grateful as loyal men everywhere must be fore the declared majority on the right side, it is due to the great issue that the moral weight of the disfranchised voters of the State be considered in estimating the fidelity of our great Commonwealth to our Free Institutions.
The Union men of Pennsylvania were beset with embarrassments in the late contest, such as would have been fatal in any ordinary political struggle. Especially in the Southern counties did the loyal men labor under almost crushing disadvantages--some of them unavoidable, but others were wantonly or stupidly imposed upon us. The invaded counties were beset by malignant Copperheads with untiring energy, and a thousand petty streams of poison flowed out upon the people from the fountain heads of sneaking traitors. Every man who had been plundered by the rebels, or who had suffered from the necessary occupation of our territory by the Union troops, was counseled by every species of falsehood to array himself against the government because the government did not promptly remunerate him; and hundreds of votes were lost to the Union cause in this section, because of these persistent appeals to narrow selfishness, when a great Nation was struggling for the liberty that overshadows and protects every home, every civil and religious right, and insures safety to the person and property of every American citizen. The failure to compensate our people was charged to the wanton perverseness of the State and National Administrations; and peace and prompt payment were promised lavishly if Woodward should be chosen Governor. A few were thus deceived and made to turn against themselves, for falsehood ever outstrips the truth in an even race; but the great mass of our sufferers stood manfully in support of the right.
The draft was a staggering load. It was no fault of the administration that it proved a ridiculous failure to the government and a costly farce to the people; nor did the authorities do anything more nor less than their duty in prosecuting it. Men were imperatively demanded for our weakened armies, and so emboldened has the foes of the government become that volunteering was wholly stopped. The administration had but one way to clear its skirts and that was to exhaust the authority it possessed to procure men. That the law providing for a draft was shamefully defective, was the fault of Congress, not of the administration; and they had to wade through Congressional blunders and harass, bleed and alienate twenty citizens for every man added to the army. Had the $300 exemption clause been omitted, and each able-bodied man drafted been required to serve in person or by substitute, men would have responded with comparative cheerfulness, and the draft would have been sustained by the people because of the palpable good attained by it; but when its failure was evident to all, it took into the army only now and then some penniless and friendless citizen, whose lot was deemed a cruel one, not so much because he had to go, as because his neig[h]bors were enabled not to go. Many, of course, did not stop to inquire whose fault it was that they were harassed by a draft that was fruitless of good, and men were not wanting to seize the favorable opportunity to impress them with the conviction that the government was despotic and faithless to the people.
But bad as the draft was when conducted skil[l]fully and divested of all wanton impression, it was made worse by the stupidity and reckless disregard of the rights of the people by the Provost Marshal General. Just on the eve of an election, the people of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton were summoned to report at Chambersburg to claim exemption, pay commutation money or furnish substitutes. Many of them had to cross the Alleghenies and travel nearly three hundred miles--costing them largely in time and money, when the Board of Exemption could have gone from county to county with little of no inconvenience. Repeated applications were made to the Provost Marshal General, and the members of the Board joined in the request, that the people should not be needlessly dragged over the mountains hundreds of miles; but no regard whatever was paid to the application, although in several other districts of the State the authority for the Board to go tot he various county towns was granted. It would have been a small matter for three officers and a few clerks to go to Somerset or Bedford for a week; but it was not a small matter for one thousand men to cross the Alleghenies and come one hundred and fifty miles to transact an hour's business. That the people appreciated it as an insolent disregard of their convenience was not surprising; and instead of losing Fulton by 260, and Bedford by 280, and gaining Somerset by over 1,300, the only wonder is that we did not lose 1,000 more. We beg Col. Fry to bear in mind that the success of this war and the safety of the government are with the People, and needless oppression in the execution of laws cannot be justified by the presumed sanctity of military regulations.
Altogether the Southern counties did well. The Union men struggled heroically, and improved materially on the vote of last year in every county South of the Susquehanna, and can justly claim their full part in the great revolution that has declared in behalf of the preservation of our imperiled Nationality.

Curtin ran ahead of his ticket in Allegheny which obviously had little to do with his connection with McClure.
