Flying yisit of Gen. Geary to Carlisle!
Enthusiastic Reception!
Serenade and Speech
On Wednesday morning G e n. GEARY the
Union candidate for Governor of this State
paid a flying visit to our town. Although
no notice had been given of his cooling the
news spread rapidly that our candidate was
in town, and directly his rooms at the Man-
House were filled to overflowing
our citizens and soldiers, who were anxious
to pay their respects to the man w 110.50 gal
lant deeds in his country's service had won
for him their admiration and regard. Gen.
di E,xltY received his friends during the morn
ing and in the afternoon in company with a
party of gentlemen from Carlisle, visited Mt..
11 olly Springs. At' the solicitation of his
pormnal friend; he returned here in the
evening and remained over night. In tbo
evening a largo. crowd of people assembled
in front of the Mansion House, having with
them the Garrison Band and the German
String Band, for the purpose of serenading
Gm General. After the bands lind for some
time discoursed excellent musie Geis. GEARY
aplwared on the balleony and briefly addresss-
HI the people. His remarks, which were
Niel! received by those itssernhled, were un
forttiMitely interrupted by a heavy shower
of rain which drove, every body hurriedly to
seek shelter. The General's visit to Carlisle
has done rough to increase his popularity
here—all who met bins being favorably im
pressed with his line personal manners and
gentlemanly bearing.
The Philadelphia Convention
A call Ii as been issued for the meeting of
a National Con ventio . in Philadelphia on
the 14th of August, of all those who favor
the restoration policy of Andrew Johnson
and are opposed to the action of the major
ity of the present Congress. It comes to the
people of the loyal States under the specious
guise of a movement in favor of the Union
and Constitutional liberty and arrogates to
itself the name of a Convention of the
National Union Party. This is siniply a
deception—an attempt to gain recruits for
the Democracy by making use of terms in
tended to deceive those who are unwary
enough to accept the catch words of dema
gogues in good faith and who are simple
enough to ally themselves to a party merely
bemuse, it appropriates to itself a name that
indicates patiotism. Measures have been
taken by the National Congress during" its
present session which are calculated to re
store order and government to the States
lately itirebellion and .thus make them tit
to resume their former status in the Union,
which fully meet the desires and wishes of
the great mass of those who wore loyal to
the country in her hour of trial. These
measures have been characterized by a mild
ness toward the treasonable States such as
was never , before exhibited to any con
quered,people,, They contemplate
.4 full..rp
sumption of their functions es States as soon
as they evince their repentance for' treason
and adopt a guarantee that the late perjured
traitors of the Confederacy shall poi..bc in
vited :to assist in making laws that aro to
goVern loyal men. This, plan of reconstruc
tion', boa been niiiitaredby the wisest states
men in the Nation, after months of the
most. careful consideration—why 'should
these be revised or astliside by the action of
irresponsible delegates, in tbe hurry and,
tumult of a monventioni, ''be men who

Dow impertinent then is the Claim that the
proposed glittiering' is a Convention of the
National Union Party! It is simply a new
phase of that sort of Unionism that con
demns. as s crimplals the men who led the
Nation safely through the war of the rebel
lion while it palliates the curses of the trai
tors who exhamited the resentrores - of eleven
States in their efforts to destroy it. It is
but the outcropping of that .now - school of
fnitriotism that proscribes such mon as Gea
ry and Burnside whilst it joins hands with
A. hi. Stephens and " Admiral" Semmes.
Those who are deceived by the schemers who
have brought .forth this movement aro too
dull of comprehension to be intrusted with
their own preservation.. .
HON. THADDEUE STEVENS is named as a
candidate for U. S. Senator to succeed
Edgar Cowan. In intellectual ability, ex
perience and devotion. to the principles of
the great Party of which hmis the conceded
leader, Mn. STEVENS is head and ,shoul
ders higher than any one who will be before
the Legislature for that office. Still we
regret that he has been named as a candidate
and almost hope that the annoucement is
unauthorized. We don't like to hear of his
leaving his present post. MT. STEvittra has
for the last six years been the leader of the
Lower House. and that during a period of
the most important legislation since the
foundation of the Government. There he
lots wielded it power second to that of no
man in the Nation. In the present session
he completely foiled the attempts of the
Executive to turn over this rescued Got ern
ment to the control of those who plotted its
destruction and to his wisdom and firmness,
are we indebted for an escape from a danger
more rearrat than that of armed treason.
Much has been dune already but more
of just such noble heart and brain work as
THADDEUS STEVENS alone is capable of re
mains to be accomplished. One of the most
important duties his constituency has to per-.
lino is to roe that he is not ptrmitted to
leave his present sphere of usefulness with
their consent. lle is the accepted leader of
ur llouse of Comm:ills, and the country
does out possess his peer. God send him a
long lease of life, and a continued career of
usei miss.

A TRA !TOR SI I. ENCED.—HerSellvil V.
JohnOon was recently talking very blatant
treason, in th,e , Y)resenee of sundry gentle- 9
men. tine a them finally interrupted him
and told him he could not talk so in Wash
ington. Mr. John.,un said teat he had been
pardoned by the President, 11111 he new of
no power which could prevent him 'from ex
pressing his sentiments. The gentleman
replied that he did know of a power which
could prevent him, namely: the presence
and strength of a loyal 111111/ who would not
tolerate the utterance or treason in his pres
ence. Shortly afterward Mr. Johnson pri
vately inquired the l'a'ic Of tho person who
had so abruptly silenced him, 1111(1 was told
it win Maj. Urn. Jun. W. Geary.
We find the above editorial if, the laq
Carlisle Herald. It is the same article that
appeared in the ni,2.ro-equality papers -more
than, u year ag,, and was got up by GEARY
111111,./r, in the same manner that he had
been in the habit of getting up accounts of
desperate battles that t e had fought, but of
whack noboJy but J. IV. G. knew anything.

We will say a word or two about this now,
ditorialtll. We clipped the story as a put
news item, two weeks since. It came.,
if we retneinber rightly from the Pittsburg
(ht:ctie, a paper which for information and
reliability will compare favorably with our
neighbor. It-got into our editorial column
without any design on our part, but because
we presume, it was the size needed to fill it
up and suited our foreman's Convenience.
Personally we know nothin - g, of the occur
rence. We obtained the storly from a credita•
ble exchange, and knowing that Gen
(hoar has the •courage, patriotism and
physical strength to silence any traitor who
made his treasomible sentiments public we
concluded we were safe in passing it around
and did so.
The Volunteer is fortunate in having at
its command a most complete recollection of
the minutest details of all impossible (ii."-
euerences and this time makes use of it.
Bow do you know Geary got it up himself
more than a year ago? About then, if you^
statement may be believed, he was scheming
for a nomination from your party. Do you
suppose any one, who was n't an idiot would
insult a leading traitor if he hoped to get
anything but chrses from the leaders of the
Democracy? But suppose GEN. (.4 EAItY told
the story and, as you say, JOHNSON contra
dicted it i is the word of a perjured traitor
to be believed before that of an honest pa
triot and a war scarred hero? Shame on
the sneaking demagogue who set up the
word' of a traitor Wilma 'even ' ANDanw

his own br'ave fellow ditizen who shed his
blood at Uettyaburg•'while drithig rebels

such creatures could be 'turned.'

SENATOR LANE, Of,jciilll3/19, who has just'
put en end to his life by violence, was an
eccentric magi in every way, as a husband,
hither, neighbor, friend end citizen. Of
more than - average ability, but rough man
ners and exterior, lie was careless of public
opinion and of his own'persop. Ho made a
• foitiin6' erirly in lifetiiid' lest it rnriarried a
wife, moved West and got a divbree ;• made
.another fortune, returned ) and married iiis
• wife over again. A good speaker, talker,
drinker, smoker and card player, he repre
sented almost all bf the idiosynoracies of the
frontier ''to perfection. At heart his im
pulses wore generous, and few have lately
gone to their last resting place leaving more
friends behind them.
Tun JOHNSON epidemic is just now pre
vailing to a great extent among the Post
office small fry of the "I'WentY-Seventh Con
gressional District of New York. The cause
thereof may be traced to the fact that Hon.
Hamilton Ward, who represents that Dis
trict, does not favor "My Policy,'%and the
noble revenge of the President is shown in
removing that gentlemen's . constituents
from office. The More immediate complaint
of A. J. nrises from Mr. Ward's( stirring
speech to the Marylanders, in which he
truthfully said—
" Who are against this radical Congress
Jeff. Davis is against it. Robert E. Lee is
against it. Alexander H. Stephens is against
it. Every rebel is against it. Harry Gil
more is against it. The same men that
burned down your dwellings at night, and
made war hideous along your borders, are
against it. Tho sneaking, hissing Northern
Copperhead is against it. [Laughter and
applause ] I say to you, who is for it ?
Every mother that has lost a son ; every
wife that has given her husband; and every
one who visits the sacred graves that are
sprinkled all over the land, in tears and
sorrow; every,lover of his country, North
and South, is in favor of it."
And this is why the decapitation of coun
try Postmasters is now going on in North
ern Sew York!
REPRESEN'TATION in Congress from Penn
sylvania is now based on the entire popula
tion white and black. The Congressional
amendment proposes to change this and
wake the basis the white population
alone. The copperhead press, with an un
accountable love for the negro clause, op
pose the change,' We had supposed their
'repeated resolves in favor of making this
exclusively a white man's government were
honestly made, lint when the opportunity
occurs for carrying into practice this dar
ling project a the copperhead party, we find
them indignantly opposing it and insisting
that negroes shall he represented in Con
gress. We trust we shall, hear nothing fur
ther about a white man's government from
that party.

gaze was returned seriously, if notstoadily,
and this too in defiance of tho instructions
of the elders, as we learned the folloWing
Sunday from the mouth of Heber Kimball.
It was no hardship for us, whose heads
bad been bleached by sunshine and, frost
for more than two years; to be informed
upon our arrival at the Salt Lake House,
that and all the other hotels wore full and
that we must-fincliodging during our stay

tions ; and to embrace whose necks there
were halters yearning in the Beaver Head
•country; induced us to look for bed and
.board elsewhere. , Accordingly, wo put up
at the house of a Mormon older, who had
but one wife and was, in other respects a
decent, God fearing man. He had been a
Saint for fifteen years and, judging from his
own declarations, his faith was unshaken
that Allah is Allah and Brigham young is
his prophet.. We asked him why he had
never taken a second wife. He said that ono
wife was enough for him—and that ho was
Miro he could not s get another woman as
,good ns the ono he had; which recognition
,of the worth of his companion was rewarded
by her with a grateful glance and smile.
Salt Lake City is regularly laid out, The
streets are adorned with maple trees, and
these with the shrubbery and orchards in
' which thd , City is embedded make it really
beautiful. The city is level, or nearly so.
There is just enough fall to carry oil' the
fresh water oyming from the mountains
about the Oity•and sunning in plentiful
streams through 'all the streets, whence it is
drawn for the purpose of irrigating the gar
dens. The houses stand apart, not inure
than live or six occupying ono block and
being Seraglios, are very properly built
back from the street and hidden behind flow
ers, shrubbery and fruit trees, so that our
American Turks may enjoy themselves re
mote from the dust and bustle of the high
way, its well as from the intrusive gaze of
wayfarers, thus living, like satyrs, in the
woods. Most of the houses are built of
adobes which, in this climate, aro as good,
for building purposes as burned bricks. The
adobe is a foot lung, six inches wide and
three thick, is moulded from yellow clay
mixed with straw, and is dried in the sun.
Most of the dwellings are two stories in
bight rind thorn are more houses of one
story than of three. Porches in front and
rear well shaded by creeping vines and beau
tiful trees offer an inviting retreat froin the
heat of the sun—and here the lords of the
mansions, surrounded by the ladies of their
Mt reels, are wont to recline in the suminer
afternoons discussing, no doubt, the marvels
and beauties of their holy religion, and
hearkening to readings fruit the sweet lips of
their mistresses of unta ark wlmse cover was
Irks unto a dish or of the brass mine so prov
identially rowealed to one of their great
captains when traversing the land of the
Lanmnites, or other choice histories from the
veracious book of Mormon. These challn
ing gardens with the privileges of quietness,
coolness, and delights of female Society which
the Saints enjoy therein, are apt to Make the
.passing Gentile, who can behold but not re
alize, both envious and covetous.
Thd contrast between those luxurious
Mormon homes and their own rough cabins
in the mountains with the accompaniments
of hard farb and hard work, and the fact
that the bulk of their gains goes into the
coffers of Brigham and the Church in pay
ment of ion beans and beef, sold to them
tit enormous prices, have inspired the Mine re
with a hostility against the entire Mormon
population, which needs but Ilttle encour
agement from the Government to manifest
itself in open war.
The very profitable trade with the miners
of Reese river, Bannock, Virginia Helena
,and other towns has within a few years led
to a large increase of population and great
improvement of Salt Luke City. A number
of now stores, warehouses and dwellings
were being erected—the former principally
by Gentiles, who, since the arrival of Gen.
Connor, with his brigade of Californians,
had, with some assurance, taken up their
abodes in the city, not having the fear of the
Saints before their eyes so much as formerly
and attracted by the rapidly growing facili
ties 'for doing business: Many of the new
stores haVe finely cut stone fronts, the ma
terial being drawn from. Echo canon which
opens into the suburbs of the city. The
Morrnaffs have erected but few public build
ings. Social Hall, used in the winter for
dancing and other amusements, is one of
them. AU Gentiles aro most carefully ex
cluded from it. The Bowery is simply,a
very large booth, built of poles and covered
with 'brush, carried from the mountains.
It will protect-3000 petrplo from the rays of
the sun but affords no shelter against rain.
The temple when completed, will be a
very large building; and the Mormons
promise that it shall be the finest Edifice of
its , kind in.: the world: The plans are• the
work of Engli.A.i. architects whom. pleasure
or fanaticism has made converts to the
.Morreon faith. Theffoundation is 'now four
feet above , the ground and is of grey stone.
Only it few workmen are employed at it
time, it being the policy of Brigham Young
and his advisers to prolong the completion
of the work indefinitely in order that the
church may'always haVO-theglorious con
summation still in anticipation. When a
Mormon debtor of Brigham, or of the church
becomes insolvent, in which, plignt there

which he is capable, such as quarrying,

[Special Correspondence of the herald.]
Political Affairs at the State Cap
ital
HARRISBURG, July 18th 1866.
The letter of Governor CURTIN, in answer
to the inquiry of Col. Joannx, Chairman
of the Union State Central Committee, in
which our patriotic Executive communi
cates the history of his efforts to obtain an
early ratificatiun of the Constitutional
amendments and
_explains the cause of his
failure', is meeting with almost universal
commendation. A large number of distin
guished Republicans have congratulated him
upon the noble manner in which ho has en
deavored to forward the views of the people
as expressed through Congress. His sonti
timents in view of the differences existing
between Accidency Johnson and the peo
ple's representatives arc expressed in no
weak or meaningless terms.
The , subscribers of the Telegraph, the
State organ here, are very much disappoint
ed and chagrined at the failure of the Tele
graph to publish this letter. Besides being an
important item of public news, in which all
our citizens are directly interested, it is sig
nificant of much that tho Telegraph, in view
of its recent hearty professions, should have
been eager to announce, but it has nut even
made the slightest reference to this impor
tant doe liMent, notwithstanding the favora
ble facilities afforded it. A copy of this let
ter was furnished the Telegraph on the tenth
M.A. in advance of all the other papers, byt
it peremptorily refused to make use of it,
and on Uhl twelfth it very unenterprizingly
asked why the Governor had not acted in the,
premises! This was certainly very unfair,
inasmuch as, (with this letter before Its
eyes,) it led its readers to draw very strong
impressions as to the action and feeling of
the Governor in this connection. Such fac
tious opposition should be indignantly
frowned upon as tending to disorganization
in the ranks of the true Union party ; espe
cially when such action on the part of the
Tetegrup/t is intended to further the ends
and future designs of private individuals
who are inimical to the Governor.
The Governor returned home the other
day from a visit to Gettysburg, whither he
had gone in company with Mr. Rotherinel,
the artist, selected to paint the Battle ~f
tysburg for the State Capital, Gen. Meade
and the Legislative committee, to view the
scene of the great sanguinary contest chicle
resulted in the expulsion of tho Rebel invad
ing forces from the soil of Pennsylvania.
Gen. GEARY'S prospects .of election--al
ways bright—are improving day by day ;
not long ago a prominent Democrat here of
fered to bet a Republican that titin.nv would
be elected by forty thousand majority. The
Republican was rather moderate then in his
expectations and took the bet, but is no iv
sorry he was led into the trap. Governor
CuicriN will render an enthusiastic support
to the General, and loud applause must
greet th " Soldiers' Friend" Wherever he
may advocate the claims of the " Sold ierS'
Candidate."
The ruins of the bridge over the Susque

an immediate supply of the missing link,

keeping, besides every novelty that is pro

doubt well repay any of our citizens who
may visit Harrisburg, to.examine his stock
whether they purchase or not.
ThtSf,,,Last week a rumor was floating around
our town that Mr. CUARLES H. FOULKE'
had been arrested on a criminal charge in
Juniata county. We have been reliably in
formed that there is no foundation in truth
for this report. That the only fact un which
it could have been founded was that Mr. F.
was arrested while in Mifilintown by an
over-zealous official for carrying concealed
weapons. The Justice before whom he was
taken, after searching his Pardon, could fir.d
no warrant of law for detaining F. on this
charge, but said that because he had the np
pearanee of a dangerous man, must be com
mitted. At this juncture FOULKE'S Attor
ney appeared and enlightened the leather
headed official as to his duty in the premises,
when the subject of these remarks was at
once discharged.
We make this correction all the more
willingly because we gave publicity to the.
fact that FOULKE is awaiting trial under a
serious charge, and we desire to give every
man fair play.

REV. ABRAHAM A NintEws:—We clip
the following communication from the N.
Y. Christian Advocate and Journal. It ex
plains itself:
I observed some Limo since in your justly
esteemed paper notices of the older labor
ors in the vineyard of the Lord belonging
to the Methodist persuasion. Among them
you mention the name of the Rev. Brother
Andrews, but ,say ille; i time and place of
his death aro unknown to you. This infor
mation I can now furnish from the most
reliable sources. To this ancient borough,
(Carlisle, Pa.,) there has been attached,
ever since its origin almost, a publieigrave
yard, in which the people of the town and
its vicinity for several miles around buried
their dead, and here for sixty-six Years the
subject of your obituary has slept the
peaceful slumbers of those "who die in the
Lord."
Within the past few months a beautiful
piece of ground has been dedicated for a
new place of interment, the old in the long
course ofyears having become literally full.
This new cemetery is adjacent to the bor
ough, and is called the Ashland Cemetery.
Each Christian congregation of the town
has the offer in the now grounds of two lots
without Charge for the ,burial of their min
isters.
• understand it is the inteuti on of
the trustees . of the first Methodist charge
to avail themselves' of' the.liberality, and
'remove the r tnains,ofthis venerable ,father
of tbeir.faith to:a. place. bettei marked and.
more easily distinguished; so that hereafter,
