Election Tickets can be had at the
close of this week. Candidates are expec
ted to pay a portion of the charges in ad
vance
Democrats, look around and see in
whose company you are in.
Whenever an exposure is made of some
Southern sympathyzer's doings, the Breck
inridge papers at ooce set up the cry that
the republicans are calling democrats trait
ors, Ac., thus endeavoring to create an im
pression that in speaking of the Buchanan
swindlers the rank and file of that party
are included. A few weeks ago an expos
ure was made of a circular from F. W.
Hughes, chairman of the patent democrat
ic State Committee, recommending a "poor
fund ' to be raised in each county to pay
for the publication of such articles as he
might furnish, thus virtually placing the
whole of the self-styled democratic press
under the control of that demagogue. To
enable the people to judge what this man
Hughes is doing, C. Loeser, Esq., a respec
ted citizen of Pottsville, comes out with
indisputable evidence, that this fellow at
tended the democratic convention last year
with resolution in his pocket for Penn
sylvania to secede from the Union and join
Jef. Davis's cutthroat confederacy.
Democrats of Mifflin county, look around
and sec whose company you are in. Such
rascals like this man Hughes brought war
and desolation into Missouri, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia,
against the wishes of a majority of the peo
ple, and under the same specious cry of
"democracy," and if you follow loaders who
are almost in open hostility to your govern
ment, the day is not distant when you may
see the war transferred to Pennsvlvania.
A rebel army even now is on the banks of
the Potomac, loss than a day's march from
the State line, and he who weakens the
power of our government by factious oppo
sition under any pretext, is more an enemy
of his country than a friend. Democrats,
who are truly so, look around and see whose
company you are in. The true men of
your party are found where honest demo
crats have always been, supporting the war
measures of the administration —the false,
apologizing for the south and opposing the
administration.
The locofoco Jeff. Davis papers are
blackguarding Gov. Uurtin because ha called
on the militia to ksep the rebels ou.t of this
State.
The tory of the Selinsgrove Times has
at last got into tho clutches of the law, hav
Jn gbeen indicted for preventing enlistments.
It seems some of the secession wenches
at Westminster, Md., made such fools of
tbomselves as to become sources of coarse
jests among the rebel soldiery.
~ 1 Commonwealth, a weekly pub
lished in Boston, Mass., by James M. Stcne,
at v _, per arniuin. contains many wholesome
truths respecting the war.
I
The Ornish and the Rigrht of Citizenship.
When Pennsylvania was settled under
the auspioes of William Penn, who was
himself a Quaker, an especial invitation
was given to those who desired to enjoy
religious privileges iu quietness to become
inhabitants thereof, and it is a wellknown
historical fact that this State was the only
one whose territory was acquired without
waging war with the aboriginal inhabitants.
Under this invitation Quakers, Ornish,
Tunkers anl other peaceful sects who be
lieved that wars were unrighteous, left
their European homes, bought lands, and
by their industry and upright conduct soon
became most respected and useful citizens.
For their benefit the following clause was
inserted in the first constitution adopted,
re inserted in 1838 without a word of ob
jection, and so stands unmolested to the
present day :
•' The freemen of this Commonwealth shall
he armed, organized and disciplined for its
defence, when and in such manner as mag be
directed by law. Those who conscientiously
scruple to bear arms, shall not be compelled to
do so, BUT SHALL PAY AN EQUIVALENT FOR PER
SONAL SERVICE "
When the Ornish and other sects were
invited here their scruples against bearing
arms were known, and it may therefore be
justly inferred that the above clause in the
Constitution was intended as a solemn as
surance that while they should enjoy all
the rights and privileges of citizenship,
their creed of peace should not be interfer
ed with, hut that in consideration thereof
they were to "pay an equivalent for per
sonal service and so long as this is the
fundamental law of Pennsylvania, it is the
grossest injustice, ungenerous and unchris
tian to deride or persecute them. Not
withstanding this plain fact—certainly
plain to any reasonable man —no sooner is
a dralt threatened than the same dema
gogues who profess so much reverence for
constitutions as to oppose the confiscation
of rebel property though steeped in treason
of tho deepest dye—who hypocritically
turn up the whites of their eyes in affected
horror when the shackles of slavery are
struck from some poor African held in un
willing bondage—and who have thus far
boasted that their party was the only dem
ocratic one which tolerated freedom of
speech, THOUGHT and action —arc now de
nouncing the Ornish and Tunkers in the
most shameful manner for exercising a con
stitutional right! Even men who had nev
er been known to be ailing either in work
shop or on farm—others a little under or
a little over age, but sound to all appearan
ces—who had no scruples to go before the ,
Commissioner and Examining Surgeon a
few weeks ago and swear or get others to
swear for them that they were unfit for du
ty—are most loud-mouthed in their de
nunciations. Do not these fellows know
that the Ornish and Tunkers have a better
right to exemption than they have—the
one being held by the Constitution, while
the other is a mere legislative enactment ?
We say then to our Ornish and Tunker
friends that r. o man has the right of inter
fering with their voting or exercising any
other right of citizenship. Let them go
to the polls—lor never in the history of
this government were the votes of good
men more needed to support tho adminis
tration in its efforts to put down the infam
ous rebellion hatched by Buchanan's dem
ocratic traitors —and they can go with the
assurance that every cowardly scoundrel
who will attempt to interfere with their
elective rights, WILL DO IT AT THE PERIL
OF THE LAW, which will be meted out to
him in full measure.
What it Must Come To.
The quicker we fully realize the proposi
tion that this is, and must he, a war of sub
jugation, the bettor will it be for us. We
are to subjugate the rebels, says the Spring
field Republican, or the rebels are to sub
jugate us. We have no choice in the
matter. Whatever may be our theory of
the war and the re-establishmcnt of the
Union, we must not for a moment, be
deceived by the fallacy that the rebels arc
fighting simply for independence. The
people of the South may have this in
mind alone. Just such ideas as will best
unite them and best inspire their fighting
qualities will be furnished to them by
their leaders; but those leaders are after
dominion; and they intend to become the
overshadowing, all controlling political
power on this continent. They intend
nothing short of the subjugation of the
They have everywhere assumed
the offensive, and they intend to pass on
to conquest, and on northern soil to dictate
the terms on which this Union is to be
reconstructed.
Let us, then, abandon this fallacy that
the South is only fighting for its indepen
dence. It has simply appealed to the
sword from the ballot box to regain the
political ascendancy which it had lost Of
course, if the North thoroughly under
stands this, thero is nothing for it to do
but to fight it out. If it becomes neces
sary for all the men to go to the battle
field, then all must go The whole North
most be transformed into a camp, or move
en masse upon the conspirators and their
hordes and wipe them out. We have been
humiliated; we have been insulted; but
never can we submit to the dishonor of
southern domination, and become the tools
of a slaveholding oligarchy.
For the Oazette.
OUR DUTY
Voters of Mifflin countv come let us reason
i together in soberness. We are in the midst
of a terrible war—a war the successful termi
i nation of which will rescue one of the best
! and most beneficent governments ever known
' upon the face of the earth from utter destruc
; tion. We have sent forth the fathers, sons,
| and brothers of our people to beat back the
! tide of treason, and many of them have already
| offered themselves up as bleeding sacrifices
! upon the altar of their country, and many
: more stand ready and will soon follow those
that have "gone before." Now, friends of
| American liberty, while we have made and
are still making this dreadful sacrifice, while
! our hearts are daily being rent by the loss of
; loved ones, does it not occur to your minds
j that in this fiery ordeal we, who are enjoying
j the peace and quiet of our homes, have asa
| cred duty to perform, a duty which we should
approach and execute thoughtfully, calmly,
I seriously, casting aside all former prejudices.
It is well known that all the troubles now
upon us are directly attributable to and had
their origin in the inflamed political condi
tion of the country. A violent war of public
opinion has culminated in a war of blows.
Treason has raised its hydra head, and now
| an issue has been made upon which there is
!no middle ground. It is an issue of govern-
J ment or no government, Union or no Union.
" He that is not for us is against us." Every
honest man should ponder well these facts
and see that he is not made an unwilling in
| etrument in the hands of designing dema
' gogues to nerve the traitorous arms who are
dealing death blows at the hearts of our gal
lant braves who are keeping watch upon the
tower of liberty, and who stand between our
homes and firesides and the dread tide of des
olation now waging upon our immediate bor
der. Our government and people should be
a unit. All questions of public policy are now
blended in the one great overshadowing issue
—the salvation of our Union and Government.
We have no differences, can have none, until
that end is accomplished. Then why seek to
distract and divide our people. It is unwise
and impolitic. While wc are attempting to
strengthen tho hands of those who have gone
forth to fight the battles of their country let
us not weaken the hands of our Chief Execu
tive by environing him with doubtful and
lukewarm friends. As far as it is in our
power we should gather around him those
who are above suspicion. But a few days will
elapse before we are called upon to vote for a
national Representative for this district, and
it becomes us to calmly consider this matter.
To my mind the path of duty is plain. That
duty is to support the tried and faithful sup
porter of the President and his advisers—that
man is Hon. S. S. BLAIR. HO is a man
against whose moral character the envenomed
tongue of malice has lain dormant, and against
whose political character, if his acts are well
considered, nothing can be successfully urg
ed. During his past career in Congress,
though a youqg man, he has rendered himself
worthy of his people and his State, and now
stands in the front rank of his peers. In all
his acts he has been found willing and ready
to render all necessary aid to the President
in his endeavor to crush out this unholy re
hellion. He is, and always has lxen, in favor
of meting out to traitors punishment com
mensurate with their crime, and in favor of
removing tho oauso which produced this war,
in a manner least prejudicial to the interests
of the country. Then why should we not come |
up as one man, casting aside all our former
narrow political prejudices and give him our
support, and in doing so say to the world that
we are in favor of prosecuting the war with
the utmost rigor, that we have the most im
plieit confidence in our Chief Magistrate arid
will sustain him in every way possible. What.
I ask all honest men, would he the effect of
the defeat of the friends of the national Ad
ministration? Would it not virtually hesaying
to armed trnitors that the people of the north
sympathise with them in their treason ?
Would it not nerve their arms in their mad
desperation ? Would it not be heralded by
our implacable enemies across the ocean as
an expressed fact that our peoplo were oppos
ed to the war and as a cowardly attempt to
seek submission to the slave oligarchy of the
south? This we do not desire. Our people
are honest ; they are in favor of sustaining
the Government and preserving the Union,
cost what it may in blood and treasure ; yet
we have among us, as we always have had,
covert enemies ; men who would stab their
coun'ry in the house of its friends, aDd who,
with honied words, seek to lead honest men
from the path of duty. To such we beseech
all patriots to turn with loathing and con
tempt. Let the watchword uttered by the
sage of Marshfield be ours—" Liberty and
Union, now and forever, one and inseparable."
Let us sustain our Government by sustaining
its friends, and by suataining them show to
to the world that we appreciate our institu
tions and the blessings we have enjoyed un
der them, and that we are willing to make
every sacrifice necessary for their mainte
nance. Men of Mifflin county, ponder these
facts well before you are called upon to act.
Weigh well the effect of your action, and see
to it that you have not cause to regret here
after that you have not done your duty.

Judge Turner la<|t week gallanted his
old Breckinridge friend Bucher, the Vallan

in this district, through various parts of the

and Codorus townships, York county, which
give about 1000 democratic majority for any

that the democratic candidate for Assembly,

WAR N E WS .
We have had little war news during the
past week. Our losses in killed, wounded
and missing in the recent battles in Mary
land are 14,794, of whom over 11,000 are
; wounded. The rebel loss is supposed to
be about 25,000, including 5000 prisoners.
Movements are go ; ng on at Washington
among the immense body of troops known to
be there, which it is to be hoped will result
in a blow at the enemy's rear, bef re the fall
storms set in. Sigel is moving towards War
ronton, and if he not stinted in m<n and
stores as Pope was, will break the enemy's
line beyond remedy.
MeClellan is evidently again engaged in
some great " strategetic movement."
A quarrel and rencontre took place yester
day at Louisville between Major General
Nelson and Brigadier General Jeff. C. I'avis,
resulting in the death of General Nelson by
a pistol shot from Gen. Davis. It is stated
that Gen. Nelson cursed and struck Gen. Da
vis several times, when the latter borrowed a
pistol from a friend and tired.
We have some particulars of the burning of
Augusta, Ky. The Rebels attacked a small
Federal force there who took refuge in the
houses, from which they tired on the Rebels,
killing and wounding ninety of them, includ
ing a younger brother of Morgan, killed, and
Lieutenant Col >nel Prentice, son of George
D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, who
was mortally wounded. The Rebels then fired
the houses, when the Federals surrendered.
The Rebels were intercepted and attacked by
the Union troops from Maysville and routed.
Gen. Morgan, it seems, has not evacuated
Cumberland Gap.
A locomotive reconnoissance was made
from Alexandria to Manassas on Friday
which resulted in the capture of a train of
sixteen freight cars and some of our cap
tured ammunition, which was brought into
Alexandria with about one dozen of prison
ers. It was also ascertained that trains
were running regularly to Culpcpcr, sup- i
plying wagon trains to the Rebel army.
The bridge over the Rapidan had been re
built, and that over the Rappahannock !
was nearly completed.
We have a confirmation of the evacuation
of Cumberland Gap by General Morgan,
and the sudden appearance of his army
of twelve thousand veterans in the rear
of the Rebel army at Richmond, Ky, j
where he captured a garison of six hun- !
dred Rebels.
(>om. Preble made a bold attempt to des
troy the steamer Oveta, which ran into
Mobile a few weeks since. The Winona
ran in and exploded a shell in her bow,
escaping without damage.
It is stated at the Indian Bureau that
the difficulties with the Chippewas in
Minnescta have been adjusted; but the
Commissioner is fearful the troubles witli
the Sioux in the same State have only
just commenced and that they will be of
long continuance.
General John Pope has sent his first dis
patch to General Halleck from the head
quarters ol the Indian expedition, at St.
Paul, Minnesota He says that the gallant
Colonel Sibley has recently defeated the
Sioux Tndiaus at Yellow Medicine, Min
nesota, and that lie is now in pursuit of the
red skins.
The address presented to the President
by the Governors ol the States who met
at Altoona last week was written by Gov.
Andrew, and signed by all except Gov.
Bradford. It expresses, first, a cordial
personal and official respect for t c e Presi
dent.
Second, a determination, under all cir
cumstances, to support and maintain his
constitutional authority, speaking for them
selvs and people of their respective States.
Third, pledges their aid in all measures to
bring the war to an early termination, and
that it should he prosccufed to ultimate
victory, unless ail rebels voluntarily return
to their constitutional duty and obedience.
Fourth, congratulates the President upon
his proclamation, believing it will do good
as a measure of justice and sound policy.
Fifth, concludes with a reference to those
who have fought our battles.
The Governors agreed to recommend an
army of reserves of not less than one hun
dred thousand men, to be drilled and dis
ciplined at home, and to be called out as
sudden exigencies may require—their term
of service to be twelvemonths unless soon
er discharge.
BQk,The Ilarrisburg Telegraph of Sat
turday gives the following details of a
terrible railroad accident:
On Friday morning, about 7 o'clock, one
of the most terrible railroad accidents that
has occurred tor many years, took place on
the Cumberland Valley Railroad, just be
yond the bridge over the Susquehanna, and
almost opposite the city.
It appears that a troop train, consisting
of some twenty freight cars, drawn by a
single engine, and having the 20th Regi
ment of Pennsylvania Militia on board,
was coming to this city from Greencastle,
a small town near the border, where the
regiment had been encamped for the past
few days. The train was behind time,
and had been waiting for trains at Carlisle,
but none coming, the train proceeded.
The weather was very foggy, and it was
with the utmost difficulty that objects
could be discerned along the track; but
everything went on safely until within
about a half mile of the bridge, when the
train came suddenly in sight of an engine
standing on the track. The engineer
of the troop train immediately reversed
his engine, but toQ late to prevent the colli
sion, and the engines came together with
terrific force. The result was awful. The
forward car, immediately behind the tender,
was crushed into fragments, and nearly
all of its occupants either killed or wounded.
The second car was driven into the first
and badly damaged, and a number of the
inmates severely hurt. The third car was
thrown on the top of the second, the wheels
crushing through the top. The remaining
cars were not damaged. The engines are
complete wrecks.
Immediately after the accident two men
were sent up the road to warn all approach
ing trains and prevent a second collision,
which would have proved far more disas
trous than the first.
The scene presented by the wreck was
such as almost beggars the description of a
hastily written local paragraph. Inside
the cars could be seen brave men strug
gling in the last gasp of death—others
writhing and imploring Heaven to end their
suffering—others again dead, crushed,
mangled, torn, without a single warning
ol the cause which produced their end.
$o sudden was the crash, that the loud
and boisterous cheers of soldiers, just then
approaching as they had reason to believe,
the last change of cars which were to
carry them home, were, as it were, instant
ly changed to the groan, the stifled cry of
pain, the yell of agony, and such demon
stration as men only m ike who are sudden
ly driven to despair and terrible death.
As we got full view of the interior of
the cars and were able completely to com
prehend the extent of the disaster, the
heart fairly sickened at the sight. We
never desire to look on such a scene again.
The cries of those wounded men still
ring in our cars; while the sight of man
gled and torn dead will be n spectacle
which it will be impossible to dispel from
our view for some time to come. The
wounded were all carried to houses close
by, and Surgeons sent for from Ilarrishurg
One of the privates in the first Compa
ny of Revenue Guards, a surgeon, render
ed material assistance to some of the
wounded, and made them as comfortable
as possible, until more medical aid could
arrive.
The result of the accident are >ii;ht
killed outright, and over fifty wounded,
some of them so severely that they will
most probably die.
The whole cause of the accident was
carelessness on the part of an engineer of
the Cumberland Valley railroad. The
Pennsylvania railroad, which has the en
tire charge of the transportation of troops,
exercised all due caution. The shifting
engine of the Cumberland Valley railroad,
instead of st< pping at the bridge and in
quiring the whereabouts of the troop
train, passed on, and the collision was
the result.
The sufferers were principally from
Philadelphia and Reading.
We, the ministers cf the gospel, resident
in Lewistown, respectfully request families
requiring in future our services on funeral
occasions oo the Sabbath, to postpone buria>.
if possible, over that day. We mnke the re
quest for the reasons, that we believe a* a
general thing it is improper to inter on the
Lord's day, and that it is adding unnecessa
rily to our Sabbath labors.

We cannat part with an old friend—for such ho was,
though young in years—without paying a lust tribute
to his memory. Growing up with our own sous, and
for a number of years one of our companions on most
of the excursions made to Licking creek and other
trout streams, we learnt to know him well and esteem
him for those good qualities which shine forth in the
solitudes of those regions far more conspicuously in
a boy than in a man. Ever ready to assume the hard
est labor, most ingenious in inventing and construct
ing comforts, seldom out of temper, even under try
ing circumstances, he was deservedly a favorite with
all.
FAREWELL, good-natered WILL! Thy pilgrimage on
earth, with all its hopes and buoyant anticipations, is
over, yet the friends of thy boyhood's days will not
soon cease to bear thee in remembrance. No! Whe
ther associated at home, on the hills of the Blue Ju
niata, on the steeps of the mountain so ofton climbed
together, by the camp-fire beneath the hemlocks on
the banks of the stream you loved bast, in far distant
regions, or even amid the din and carnage of war, not
one of that band—of whom you once were, but now
are not—but will drop a tear to your memory as your
image, like tiie vision of a dream, comes floating by,
and express a feeling of regret that you are sleeping
beneath the sod of mother earth, no more t partake
of their pleasures, of all outside your paternal roof,
they perhaps knew and best appreciated your good
nature and willing heart, and of all others none will
sympathize more truly with those who have lost an
only living son, an only living child, the hope and
promise of their declining years. But
" Often we are made to weep
For the loved ones call'd to sleep,
And on our pathway falls the gloom
Of the dark and dreary tomb."
Once more, farewell! Be thy sleep calm and peace
ful as thy life was unruffled with storms, or thy nature
tainted with evil; and when we too shall fee gathered
with our fathers, may He whoss beneficent hand is
visible above, beneath, and around us. bring alj fog*,

To a sorrowing father and heartstricltep mother
they extend a condolence far beyond common sy/.V
pathy. God is His Prondence has taken him away
for purposes beyond tlje ken of human wisdom, and
though the deep fountain* of our nature may be
stirred to their utmost depths, and sorrow well up
from the inmost recesses of the heart, yet who will
es& that his dispensations are not for our good!
Farewell, poor WILL, thy grave shall be,
A green spot in our momory :
On mountain steep—by shady stream,
Where laureled banks its waters screen—
On moss-bouad rock, whereon in rest,
We viewed the lofty mountain crest—
By murmuring rill, in deep raviqe,
Where sunlight casts its fitful gleam
By the camp fire's glare—the welling spring-
Where oft thy voice was heard to ring-
On green hillside, on woodland lea,
We'll drop a tear n q think of thee' r.
