WHILE the Copperhead Press is mak
ing a good deal of noise about the large
national debt and the heavy-burdens of
the tax-payers, it is well to remember
that every dollar of this debt is a Dem
ocratic legacy to the country, tilt result
of a War waged against the Government
by Democratic Traitors. When the Re
hellion was inaugurated every Depart
ment of the National Government—leg
islative and executive—was Democratic.
Every Southern State thit supported
the Rebellion was under Democratic ad
ministration, and during the War Dem
ocratic presses and Democratic leaders
gave active aid and comfort to armed
Rebels, prolonging the war and necessi
tating increased sacrifices in men and
money. The National Debt is therefore
essentially a Democratic debt, the result
of Democratic misrule, disloyalty and
treason, and whatever of burden there
may be to the tax'-payer, it must be
charged up against the Democratic
party.
Another thing, it is well to remember
—that with the rigid economy introdu
ced into the. National administration
under Republican rule, not only is the
National Debt being steadily diminished,
but the burdens of tax-payers are also
being largely lightened. A Republican
Congress has made a reduction of more
than Two Hundred and Fifty Millions
of Dollars in internal taxation and cus-
torn duties. The aggregate 'redUction,
as shown by the official statement of the
Treasury Department, is $254,848,827,
divided as follows: By the act of July
16, 1866, $65,000,000; by act of March 2,
1867, $40,000,000; by ad of February 3,
1868, $23,000,000; by act of March 31,
and Jbly,2o, 1868, $48,000,000; by act of
July 14, 1870, $5.5,212,000—t0tal reduc
tion in internal taxation $231,212;000.
The estimated decrease of duties on im
ports by the act of July 14, 1870, iis23,-
838,87—making the total reduction in
internal taxation and custom duties,
$204,848 / 827.
Let every intelligent voter bear these
facts in mind—coixtpare them with the
results of Democratic rule, wherever
that party is in power—and then deter
mine whether it would be safe to trust
these blatant place;seekers with the con
trol of the.govemment.
Tim Democratic Congressional Con
ference met at McConnellsburg on the
24th ult., and nominated B. F. Meyers
of Bedford for Congress. Adams voted
for McSherry, Fulton for Smith, Frank
lin, Bedford and. Somerset for Meyers.
For some time the nomination of Mr.
Meyers has been regarded a - foregone
conclusion. Mr. McSherry's friends
were kept under the impression that he
stood some chance, but sharp politicians
knew it was all bosh. Mr. Meyers is an
. old politicians and an adept at managing
political wires. Although he has
_suc
cessfully manipulated the Democratic.
Conferees, he will find more trouble to
manipulate the voters of the district. If
the Democracy are satisfied with the
nomination, the Republicans surely
should be. If ever the opposition had
the ghost of a chance to beat Mr. Cess
na, they have utterly thrown it, away,
by putting up Mr. Meyers as his oppo
nent. If the five counties had been
thoroughly explored, we doubt if agoore
pronounced, ultra, vindictive Democrat
could have been scared up—one with a
more obnoxious political record, in all
respects. A sympathizer with the South
during the Rebellion, an avowed Free
trader, lie cannot expect to command a
single Republican vote, and ought to
have difficulty in palling the vote of his
own party. Mr. Meyers is editor of the
Bedford Gazette, and also of the Harris:
burg Patriot. No two Democratic pa
- pers in the State were more outspoken
in their opposition to the War for the
suppression of the Rebellion—more vin
dictive in . their denunciations of 'the
chieftains who led our armies to victory
—more malevolent in their attacks on
President Lincoln—or more persistent
in their hostility to the entire policy of
the Republican party. Mr. Meyers'
nomination at once consolidates the Re
publican ranks, and ensures the triuin
pliant re-election of Hon. John Cessna.
Tna "Brick - Pomeroy" branch of the
Democracy have a man after their own
heart in their candidate in this district
for Congress—B. F, MI/YEW, of the
Bedford Gazette. He is emphatically a
"red-hot"--and not a recent one, either.
Ile "proved his faith by his works,"
long ago.
In 1868, in his newspaper, he advised
the Bedford county Democracy to shoot
the enrolling officers who were preparing
to conscript them to fight in the "un
constitutional" war for the Union !
We believe some took his advice, and
were only saved from committing mur
der by missing their intended victims.
In 1865, ha had soft words only for
BooTH, and indirectly justified the as
sassination of LINCOLN, by denouncing
Lizzcolar as a tyrant who deserved his
fate, and by comparing his murder, with
historical characters who are reinem
bered witha feeling akin to admiration.
There is no mistaking ltdiiraas's
All admirers of assaaanation aci
a political agent, should vote for him.
Gov. taws hu issued a proclama
tion notifying Comity Commissioners

In accordance with the Decree of the
Supreme Court, foreclosing the Mort
gage, Mr. Swope, the „Trustee, adverti
ses the sale of the Gettysburg Railroad,
to take place at the Merchants' Ex
change, Philadelphia, on Thtraday,
October 13. The advortieemestyill be
found in to-day's paper.
As there seems to be no probability: f
the resident Bondholders forming any
combination to purchase thd road, we
take it for granted that it will pass into
new hands, possibly the Pennsylvania
Central or the Reading Railroad Com
pany.
In the franchises of the Gettysburg
Railroad Company, holding the right of
way from the Susquehanna to the Pot
omac, the road has avalue over and above
the bed, rolling stock, &c. The revenues
of the line from GettYsbnrg to Hanover
now pay all working expenses and six
per cent, on the full amount of the
Mortgage Bonds. Were the link from
New Oxford to York or Columbia com
pleted, and the road extended to the
Baltimore and Ohio road, the local
traffic would be largely increased, be
sides opening up an immense trade, in
connection with the Cumberland coal
region and the lines of railway pushing
Southweiit through the Shenadoah Val
ley. As a through line from Philadel
phia or New York to the Southwest, the
route via Gettysburg to Hagerstown, is
from 30 to , k 0 miles shorter than by the
Cumberland Valley Road.
By legislative enactments the bed of
the old "tape-worm," in the construction
of which the State expended over half a
million of dollars, was transferred to
the Gettysburg Railroad Company, and
will pass to the purchasers, with the
franchises, including the right to tap
the Baltimore and Ohio road.
We have no information as to the pur
poses of either the Pennsylvania Central
or Reading Companies. Into whosever
hands the road passes, we hope that it
will be extended. •
WE have heretofore adverted to the
strong sympathy for the French, in the
Franco-Prussian war, manifested by
the Democratic Press. The New York
World, the leading Democratic organ
in the east, has all along boldly defended
the desperate usuper who rules France,
by reason of whose personal ambi
tion the fairest fields of Europe are to
day drenched in blood, and thousands of
precious lives are being sacrificed in the
most causeless and wicked war of mod
em times. The Chicago Times, the
leading Democratic organ of the west,
vies with the World in earnest defence
of Napoleon and malignant denuncia
tion of the Germans. In a recent arti
cle on the subject, the Times, referring
to the meetings called to express sym
pathy with Prussia, gives the Germans
the following compliment:
It in.y be added that these German
meetings to express sympathy for the
Prussians are exhibitions of very cheap
patriotism—worthy, however, of descend
ants of the hireling Hessians who fought
against American Independence in 17+78.
Our Teutonic friends will no doubt
appreciate this highly complimentary
notice, and the general hostility of the
Democratic press to the "father-land."
We have intimated that this singular
sympathy for the reckless French despot
was mainly due to the aid and comfort
he sought to render to the Rebellion,
while Germany declared for our Gov"
ernment, buying our Bonds when
European bankers wouldn't touch them,
and otherwise giving substantial tokens
of sympathy. So they understand it
down South. Last week at the AUG
ghany Springs, Virginia, where Rebel
sympathizers are wont to congregate, a
vote was taken to test the feeling of the
visitors. The vote stood two to one in
favor of France, Generals Beauregard
and Hardee voting on the side of
France.
THE Democracy of the York,. Cum
berland and Perry Congressional dis
trict are in sore trouble. The candidate
was conceded to Cumberland, and York
and Perry instructed for Haldeman, the
present member. Haldeman, however,
failed to carry his own county, being
beaten by Bratton, of the Carlisle Vol
unteer, and the latter demands the nomi
nation on the ground that York and
Perry have no right to dictate whom the
Democracy of Cumberland should pre
sent as their candidate. Haldeman,
however, can't see it in that light, and
!Awing the cards in his own hands in
sists on playing them. On Thursday
last, the Conferees of the three counties
met at Bridgeport. Bretton, finding
Haldeman determined to carry out his
programme, refuseti to allow his Con
ferees to enter the conference; where
fore the Conferees of York and Perry
proceeded formally to declare Haldeman
the candidate of the party—Bratton pro
testing and announcing his determina
tion not to abide the action of the con
ference. Where it 'will all end, 'is hard
to tell. If Bretton has grit enough to
show fight, there will be two Democratic
candidates. In any contingency a
strong Republican candidate, taking
advantage of this bitter Democratic
feud, might possibly redeem tile dis
trict.
Ta following section of the Act of
Congress, approved July 15, 1870, may
be of interest to those who served in the
War for the suppression of the Rebellion.
We find it among the official acts pub
lished by authority of law:
Section 2b. And be it further enacted,
That every private soldier, and officer who
has served in the army .of the United
States during the rebellion, for ninety days,

[From the N. Y. Tribune, August 18.
THE NEW AXEXICAR STEEL.
The fertile, thrifty, wealthy old county
of Yo Pennsylvania, lies across the Bus
que from Lancaster, and is watered
by th odorus, Conewago, and other trib
utaries of that broad-bosomed river. The
rich valley of the Codorus and its tributar
ies is largely underlaid by a deposit of
the favorite iron ore known as Brown Hem
atite, which, though but little iron has
been smelted in this unprogressive coun
tY, is largely mined and sent away to mix
with other and generally poorer ores—
immense quantities of it being daily sent
to the great works of David Thomas and
?tilers in the distant valley of the Lehigh.
From this valley there rises; in the town
ship of North Codorus, a range of round
ed, sloping hills, which have been long
known to contain and in good part con
sist of a peculiar micacious ore; but little
success and no profit has attended its con-
version into iron, since it yields from 30 to
85 per cent. of metal, and this of poor qual
ity. At length, it was ascertained—more
by luck, we believe, that by scientific in
duction—that this unpromising ore, being
mixed with middling pig iron in an ordi
nary reverberatory furnace at the rate of
one to six, would produce, by the ordina
ry puddling process, a pure steel of ad
mirable quality and remarkaBly uniform
in character.
We visited on Monday the range of hills
in question—estimated to contain seven
teen millions of tons of unripe ore—and
looked into a dozen different shafts or drifts
which have been sunk or run into the hill
nearest Hanover Junction on the Northern
Central railroad (distant two miles). The
branch road to Gettysburg runs ..at the
southern base of the entire range. The
kwe up to thousands of tons per xlay, can
be mined and loaded directly into cars for
Baltimore, Philadelphia or New York, at
cost of $1 per ton. Being thrown down
by blast or pick, mainly in the form of
bowlders of medium tenacity', it will in
time be largely shipped as ballast, and so
transported to European as well as Ameri
can furnaces.
The owners of the mine haiie Lust com
pleted at York a pudding furnace and roll
ing -mill, wherein we witnessed the con
version of medium Pennsylvania Pig Iron,
worth $3O per ton, into Steel 'that would
certainly l i e cheap at $l2O per ton. For
ten tons of this steel, the material required'
would be ele'ven tons of pig iron, costing
$3OO, and two tons Codorus Ore, costing
s2o—together, $320. Add ten tons of
Bituminous coal, costing $3O, and $250
for labor and all °tiler expences, and a
very choice steel rail ought to be made,: by
the help of this ore at a cost of $OO per ton.
We call the attention of railroad men
and all interested in metallurgy to this
wonderful discovery. They can test its
merits in an ordinary reverberatory fur
nace, by simply buying a few tons of the
eodorous ore, attempting by its aid to
convert ordinary pig iron into choice steel
at a single heat, by simple priicesses with
which they are perfectly familiar. If they
have the requisite machinery for rolling
them, they will of course next try their
hand at converting their blooms into rails.
But they are not required to buy mines,
nor erect new works, nor to take anything
on trust. If they doubt that steel is made
as above set forth, York is not far off, and
the furnace aforesaid is spacious,. and
open to all corners. Their owri eyes are
not likely to mislead them.
That the steel made as aforesaid, at a
cost which cannot reach $BO per ton, is of
choice quality, we were assured by Col.
Boyer, of Pottsville, who has no interest
in this discovery, and never visited the
mines till Monday, but who has used the
product in tool-making for his machine
shops, where only the very best steel will
answer. His statements need no confir
mation, but have received it.
We count the Bessemer process super
seded by this discovery, whereby a per
fect Steel is produced, with no risk of
failure, and at a cost considerable less
than that of the famous British process.
And we trust that other and equally im
portant triumphs in the miiture and ma
nipulation of Ores will derive their impulse
from this.

illcMabotalt alter to relieve Buaine
1411,4,T 110;188Lt 18 FIGHTING FOR
MONDAY, Aug. 29.—While the des-
patches from the seat of War continue
- ,
somewhat confused and contradictory,
much of the uncertainty of the last few
days has been cleared away. It is now
admitted that Bazaine is in Metz, closely
besieged by the Prussians. He has about
90,000 min, badly provisioned, and unless ,
he 6341 cut his way through the Prussian s
lines, or be relieved, be must surrender
for lack of supplies. •
McMahon, who had gathered at Cludotui
a force of about 185,000, evacuated that
place last week, burning such supplies as
could not be moved, and moved northward
by way of Rheim and Mezierses, and
along the Belgium frontier,, seeking to
flank the Prussian forces holding the road
to Verdun, and reach Metz by Thionville.
The Prussians, comprehending this move
ment threw a force northward towards
the Belgium frontier, to intercept McMa
hon's march. The advance guards come
into collision at several points north of
Verdun t but there has been no fighting of
any coa.equence, the French avoiding
battle. The last accounts represents Mc-
Mahon's movement as having failed and
that he had fallen back to Mezierses,
where he holds himself in readiness to
march to Paris or towards Metz as the
emergency may demand.
In the mean-time the Prussian advance
to Paris continues slowly but steadily.
King William had joined the Crown Prince
with head-quarters at Bar de Luc, south
east of Chalons. Prince Frederick Charles
had also joined the Crown Prince with
a portion of his army to operate on the
line to Paris, leaving Gen. Steinmetz to
to watch Bazaine at Metz.
The Prussian cavalry had appeared at
Chateau Thierre, west of Chalons and
only 35 miles from Paris. At Paris all is
confusion and dissension, a difference
having occurred between 'General Trochu
and the Government, and his dismissal
from command demanded by the Empress.
M. 'niers was placed on the Committee
of Safety, and accepted the appointment
on Saturday. A Paris letter expresses
the belief that a Committee of Safety will
be formed and the Emperor deposed. A
Berlin official despatch says that Vitry,
near Rheims, was surrendered to the Prus
sians on the same day, seventeen. officers
and eight hundred and fifty soldiers being
captured.
The bombardment of Strasbourg and
Pfalzburg still continues, but without any
decisive result. The Prussians have a
reserve army of three hundred thousand
forming in Germany follow the forces
already in France.
PROCLAMATION OF THE Pitt:BBlANS TO THE
The Prince Royal of Prussia has issued
a proclamation to the people of France,
wherein he says Prussia makes war against
the Emperor and not against the people of
France. The people have nothing what
ever to fear. TLe Prince announces his
purpose to instantly restore the lines of
travel which have been interrupted or des
troyed by army movements, so that labor
and commerce may be everywhere resum
ed. All the French officers are requested
;to remain at their posts and their personal
safety is guaranteed. The Prince further
says that only surplus food will be taken
for the German troops; that only which is
not required by the peaceful French.
WauxvzsDAT, Aug wt.—mere has as
yet been no serious fighting. There are
reports of daily skirmishes along the Bel
gium frontier between Rheims, Sedan, Ver
dun, and Metz. Immense bodies of French
and Prussian troops are massed in that
section, and a heavy battle cannot long
be avoided. Although it is difficult to
get at the truth, in the numberless contra
dictory despatches, in London the impres
sion was general that Bazaine is closely
besieged in Met; and that McMahon is
rhaneuvering to raise the siege, while
Prince Charles is closely watching him,
and determined fo prevent his moving on
Metz. Both sides have received reinforce
ments.
In the meantime the Crown Prince
moves steadily towards Paris, where
intense excitement prevailed. It is said
the Ministry are preparing to leave Paris,
and go to Tours, a fortified city in the
.south-western part of France, where the
seat of Goverement will be established.
The fortifications of Path were being
manned, and immense supplies drawn in
from the surrounding country in anticipa
tion of a siege by the Prussians.
The siege of Strasburg, Met; Thion
vill, Pfalzburg, &c., continue. Much
damage has been done at Strasburg by
the heavy Pivisidan guns, but the city
holds out.
Measures have been taken to blow np
the bridges and tear up the railways,
around Paris promptly on the approach of
the enemy.
Army correspondents in France are far
ing badly. Austin, of the London Til7l4llt,
is imprisoned at Rheims; Hall of the
Graphic, is imprisoned at Nancy; Holds
worth, of the Neu% has been escorted
back to Paris under guard.
Gen. Trochu has issued an order expel
ling all Germans from Paris. Its execu
tion will create much distress, and imposes
exacting duties on the American Minister,
Mr. Washburn, who, at the request of
Prussia, had assumed their protection.

ANOTHER GREAT BATTLE
MCMAHON AGAIN DEFEATED
Bounzox, August 31-7 P. M.—A fear
ful battle was fought yesterday and to-day
by the Prussian armies of the Crown
Prince and Prince Frederick Charles with
the forces of 'Marshal McMahon. Yester
day morning Marshal McMahon commenc
ed a general movement towards Montmedy,
and he was attacked near Beaumont and
driven back, after an obstinate resistance,
towards the Belgian frontier.
The Prussians occupied the line of the
road and captured a large amount of camp
stores. They drove the French from posi
tion after position until night closed.
Early this morning the battle was re
newed, and continued all day. During
the night a large number of French rein
forcementa came up, but they failed to
turn the scale of victory. The Prussians
were also reinforced largely, and attacked
in overwhelming numbers. Marshal Me.

en every mast* do. Quite a number of
ministers arrlved to-day. On the arrival
quite an addition is made to the various
stations.
On Friday evening Rev. Norris, preac
ed a solemn and pointed sermon from
Revelations, after which interesting pray
er -meetings - were held with success—seven
souls professing to have been converted.
Prayer-meetings were held on Saturday
morning, and several stirring exhortations
delivered with good effect. At 11 o'clock
the Rev. Mr. Lemon delivered an earnest
discourse. Ile was followed by others.
At 2 o'clock an interesting children's
meeting was held,
' and spirited addresses
delivered. At 3 o'clock the Rev. Mr.
Haslui preached a very neat and indeed
touching sermon. Also preaching in the
evening. The weather fine and evenings
cool. The trains from Baltimore on Sat
urday evening brought a large number of
people . from the city, which swelled the
crowd to an immense number.
Sunday has been a delightful day—the
temperature congenial. Large numbers
of people from the surrounding country
were arriving up to the hour of preaching
—not less than five thousand persons were
on the ground by ten o'clock, and still
more in the afternoon. A love-feast was
held by Rev. J. France, when over one
hundred persons spoke. - The tide of re
ligious feeling was high. Dr. Sims filled
the morning appointment—a sweet sermon
indeed, and the people greatly stirred.
The services throughout the day and eve
ning were grand and interesting. Not the
slightest disorder occurred to mar the
pleasure of the day, except that a lady
was kicked on the head by a horse and
severely injured.
The religious interest of the camp con
timier. to increase, although the number
of persons are diminished, as is usual on
Mondays. The Rev. Mr. Dosh preached
in the morning and Rev. Speake in the
afternoon, and both appeared to be filled
with the fulness of God.
On Tuesday morning the Rev. Mr. In
skip held :t meeting or holiness—at 9
o'clock prayer -meeting, and at 11 o'clock
Rev. Mr. Inskip discoursed on the subject
of holiness, and at the conclusion of his
discourse he invited all who desired the
blessing of sanctification to bow at the
altar, when a large number, ministers and
people, came forward. It was a great
meeting, and many were blessed. Child
ren's meeting at 2 o'clock, Rev. Mr. Eddy
preaching a logical sermon. - Preaching in
the evening to a large audience. This
dor filana were at least four thousand per
sons on the , ground. The camp now is
at its height, and much good is being ac
complished—many converts thus far. At
least five hundred came from the city this
evening.
This, Wednesday morning, the meetings
continue to be interesting and well attend..
ed. To-morrow after the morning ser
mon, communion, and the meeting to
close after the sermon on Thursday night
at 10} o'clock. The& are 400 tents up
and well arranged. Every convenience
and attention paid to strangers. A large
bell to tell tho hour of meeting, &c. I
leave the ground at 9. In haste.

EDITOR STAR:—Feeling the importance
of securing the gratest possible results
from our common schools, I am prompted
to make a suggestion, that may or may
not be practicable. Could not in some, if
not all, the townships, a school, properly
situated, be selected, that could be used as
a higher school, to which the most ad
vanced scholars could go, instead of being
compelled to attend at some distant point?
The directors should have control in send
ing scholars from other districts, and by
paying a liberal salary and securing a good
teacher, with provision for assistance in
case of over crowding, a township might
thus enjoy many of the benefits of a high
school, with comparatively small expense.
