the instmmentality of one of the best and most expe

"Gazette" has been restored to perfect health, for
which he feels truly grateful. After asevereill

appreciate health. For the many kindnesses shown
us during our sickness by Ihe citizens of the place
(male and female) we shall ever hold them in grate

The Adjutant General Case.
Soon after Gov. POLLOCK look his Guberna
torial seat, lie attempted to nullify the laws of
Pennsylvania, hy appointing one of his Know-
Nothing friends to the office of Adjutant Gener
al of the State, then held by Gen. BOWMAN, and
whose term of service had not expired. This
infraction of the laws was met by Gen. BOW
MAN in a becoming spirit, and resisted. Jt was
precisely what we had a light to expect from a
gentleman of the General's intelligence and pa
triotism. The matter was carried to the Su
preme Court, and decided recently by that tri
bunal at Sttnbury. The attempt to displace
Gen BOWMAN, without cause, and substitute in
his stead Air. Power., has met with a merited I
rebuke from the Supreme Court.
There are three points in the t'ase decided by
the Court, to wit :
Ist. That the commission bestowed by Gov.
POLLOCK on General POWER, is illegal and
void.
2d. That General BOWMAN is the legally
commissioned Adjutant General of the State,
lor three years from the date of his appointment
by Gov. BIOLER, and his commission does not
terminate until October, 1856.
3d. That although Gen. BOWMAN is in law
the Adjutant General of the State, and entitled
to the office, vet the Court refuse to grant a
mandamus on the State Treasurer to compel the
payment of his salary, because he has not, as
yet, complied with the precedent condition of
the Militia Law. requiring certain official bonds
first to be entered up by him. t
General BOWMAN has made one of the most
efficient Adjutant Generals of the State we have
overbad. He has been uniformly courteous to
all in his official relations, showing special fa
vors to none, save whose merit alone demanded
a recognition of his claims, a fact which will be
generally conceded l>v the military without dis
tinction. He was Adjutant General during the
administration of Governor SIUNK, and it is well
remembered to this day with what energy and
patriotism he organised two regiments and a
detachment of volunteers in Pennsylvania, for
the Mexican war. In the absence of appropri
ations, Governor SHUNK and himself threw their
own private notes in b3nk to raise the requisite
funds for the transportation of these troops from
Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. When we regard
these striking incidents in connection with his
character and history, the decision of the Su
preme Court in his favor is most welcome.—
General BOWMAN will hold the office under his
present commission until October, 1856.

saying that 1 have net. as yet. filed the Bond requir
ed by law—yet I am pleased that he has so stated it
in order to enable me to make a statement on this
particular point that will be ftilhjniulcrstoorl. When
Gen. KKF.NAN was appointed to a Foreign Mission by
the President, he was ordered to repair to his post
lorthwith. Indeed, his time to prrpare was so limi
ted that he could barely take the Books and papers of
the office lo Harri-burg. on his way, and made a lim
ited. but satisfactory Report, on his arrival at New
Vork, jnst before his departure. In the confusion of
affairs, the office being thus suddenly thrown on the
hand- ot the Executive, he commissioned me to fill
it, and requested me to come on to the seat of Go
vernment, and Take immediate'possession, which I
did. The Governor, in his ha-te, having sent the
Commission to me under his own envelope, instead
of that of the Secretary's office, as is usual, and no
blank liuttd accompanying it, the con-equence was
that I neglected, for a limited period, to hunt up a
form and write one. 1 did so. however, not a great
while after I was appointed, and 1 procured the names
of Hon. WM. T. DACOHEETY and Hon. Wit. P.
Sell ELI., as security, and Hon. .JOB MANN as witness.
Being seldom at HarrUburg. 1 laid the Bond in rny
desk among the military papers, where it remained
for a considerable length of time forgotten. As soon
as the omission was brought to my notice, 1 at once
stated that my Bond had been filled, and uus ready
to be filed at any time. As a suit was pending b<*-
fore the Supreme Court, I paid no further attention
To the Bond until that body met in Bedford in August
last, when our counsel handed it to the Chief Justice,
and it was subsequently sent to Harrisburg, where it is
now filed, covering the entire period of our Commis
sion. At best this Bond is merely nominal, in fact,
but, of course, it is not so in /ate. It merely demands
security in SI,OOO, whilst the property iu the Arsenals
sometimes amounts to $.10,000.
I have never had a red copper in my possession
-nice tny appointment belonging to the Common
wealth. Whenever old arms and stores have been
sold, 1 have uniformly directed the Brigade Inspectors
in make sale, in their respective Brigades, (Bonded
officers,) and account for the same in their settlement
with the Auditor General and State Treasurer, j

The Argument.
CyWhen the Decision of the Supreme Court was
published in the Gazette it should have been stated by
whom the cause was argued—and, as it was not, we
do sooow. Attorney General FRANKLIN appeared for
the Governor, and Hon. Jonv CESSNA for the Adju
tant General'—and to say that the latter argued the
cause with a degree of force, point, and eloquence
that would have done honor to any Lawyer in the
Commonwealth, is to do him but simple justice. I

He warmly supported for next Clerk of the Senate
and we hope he may be elected. He only served one
session, and was much liked, we believe, by all the
members of that body. He is a splendid Clerk, and
a courteous gentleman, and we do hope he may be e
lected. The proscription of last year displaced him—
now let the liberal principles of Democracy restore
him.
Clerk of the House.
G~7" A number of papers in Pennsylvania have
brought forward the name of Col. WM. JACK, as next,
Clerk of the House of Representatives of Pennsyl
vania, and we most cordially and cheerfully "second
the motion;" feeling assured that he will be nomina
ted by the united rote of the Democratic caucus.—
That body never had so efficient and accomplished a
Clerk as Col. JACK. We have no doubt of his elec

Hertford fount).
j looking at the result of the vote in Bedford
j County, as officially published week before last, it
will be seen that the Democratic Ticket was only
; beaten about one hundred votes, all the idle boasting
loftbeK. NTs to the contrary notwithstanding—and
this, too, in the lace of the fact that all the Democra
tic politicians in Bedford lemained entirely inactive.
Not a single speech was made in the county, we are
told, and, we believe, not a single township canvass
ed fuily by any body. Whilst our opponents were
secretly associated in their little midnight Lodges,
alnio-t every night, in every Township in the coun
ty, our friends that can work cffcctivr/ly, if they will,
seemed to fold their hands with perfect indifference,
leaving ail to chance ' —and yet we were beaten but
a lew votes, which could have been changed by a fair
and energetic canvass of almost any three townships
in the county J Many hone-t Democrats were led to
believe from the idle boasting of onr opponents that
we would be beaten by trom 1000 to 1,500 votes in
the county, and about 50,000 votes in the State. These
boastings kept hundreds of Democrats from the Polls,
who would have gone cheerfully had they received
encouragement from the proper sources. We speak
thus plainly because it is a deep slnr, upon Bedford
County to he thus beaten with the power in our own
hands, a fact admitted by almost every man you now
talk to—even conscientious men of the opposition j
admit that we might have succeeded without trouble. ;
The Country Democracy, under the circumstances,
done nobly, for which they deserve the greatest
praise. We hope such gross inactivity will not soon !
again prevail in our ranks.
Stale Treasurer.
dF'Our valued friend, HENRY S. 51 ACIRAW, Esq. of
Lancaster, formerly of Pittsburg, is warmly urged as
the next Democratic candidate for State Treasurer.
He is a Lawyer of eminent ability—one of the purest
Democrats in the State—and his election would rellect
credit alike upon himself and our glorious old Com
monwealth. We want such men as Magraw at the
head of our finances. He has no superior in the State
for this trust.
Broad-Top Railroad.
Cyit affords us pleasure to notice that this road,
which has been piosecuted with such vigor amidst so
many obstacles, will be formally opened from the
Borough ol Huntingdon to Stonerstown, in this coun
ty. A large concourse of the friends of this improve
ment will be in attendance on the occasion.
'l'he Shaup's Hun branch is now ready for the sup
erstructure, and the road from Stonerstown to Hope
well is nearly all graded. During the winter the
rails will be laid to Hopewell.
It is a source of gratification to the projectors ofthis
enterprise that they have advanced so far with it; and
it ought to be regarded by this whole community as
a subjet of the deepest concern to them. It is the
only improvement that points to this region, and eve
ry advance it makes is just so much gained towards
the completion of a rail road to Bedford.
The pro-pect of the early completion of the coal
region on Broail Top, has given rGe to several new
Towns in that quarter. Coalmout and Hopewell
have already started into being. Another town call
ed Broad-Top City, has been laid out at the intersec
tion of the main road or. the mountain, through which
the rail road is to pass. A large Hotel has been com
menced, and the building is rapidly progressing.

of Wa-'hington,L ruontovvn, Connelsville and Greens-

HENDERSON, Sept. 21, 1855
GENTLEMEN : lam in the* receipt of your fa
vor of tlie 15th inst., requesting trie to he pres
ent and address a mass meeting of the Democ
racy, to be held at Paducah on the 27th inst.
You are right in supposing that it is my inten
tion toco-operate in future with the Democrat
ic party. The Whig party, wit!) which I have
so long acted, has no longer a political existence,
f have no party now but mv country. To this
T shall not cease to be faithful. The American
party, divided as it is into two great sectional
parties, the one northern and the other southern,
can only injure where it would serve the coun
try : for, instead of strengthening the national
men of all parties, it can only divide them in
all the ejections, when union and concert of ac
tion are necessary to the very salvation of the
country. As far as I can judge, the Democrat
ic party, although weakened in the free States,
is still national, and still co-operates with the
southern Democracy in opposition to the Aboli
tionists and Free SoiUrs of the north, who, to
destroy the institution of slavery, would rend
the Union asunder, and bury beneath the ruins
of the Constitution the liberties of the country.
I regret, gentlemen, that circumstances over
which I have no control will prevent my being
with vou on the occasion alluded to.

LARAMIE BRIDGE, N. T. )
September 7th, 18-55. j
Mr,. KEIINAN : —I have just received the fol
lowing intelligence from Gen. Harney's camp—
"We bad a brush yesterday with Little Thun
der's band of Brulees, and killed him and some
50 or GO besides. The Indians lost everything.
We had four men killed and four wounded.—
We have some fifty women and children priso
ners."
Although the above came without date, I
learned from the Express man sent from Gener
al Harney's command to Fort Laramie, that
the fight took place on the 3d inst., on the
the north side ol the Platte, near Ash Hollow.
From another account I learn that five men
were killed and six wounded on om side—viz :
killed, three dragoons and two artillery men :
wounded, all of the same corps. Although we
have been told that the Infantry brought on the
engagement, we have not heard ol any of said
corps being either killed or wounded. I pre
sume in a few days we shall know all the par
ticulars as those engaged in the "brush" will be
at Larimie for provisions.
Sept. Bth. —This morning a soldier from the
hay party on Raw Hide, reports that on his
way trom his camp to Fort Laramie he was
chased by four Indians. Yesterday or the day
befora, in the same direction, a friendly Indian
reports that he was chased by the same number.
One of the four flashed his gun at the friendly
Indian who let fly four arrows : and whilst thus
engaged, he saw the ottier three approaching
him, whereupon he thinking four too many for
him to cope with, or believing that prudence
was the bitter part of valor, put whip to his
hor.se and left.
JTie hay party lias this day been sent for,
and will be brought into the fort to-morrow.—
The mill party will he strengthened in order to
guard against accident and to carry on the
building operations at (he post.
This morning two Indians were discovered
near the Fort, on the opposite side of the Lara
mie, but when the sentinel called for the corpo
ral of the guard to report their appearance, thev
put out on their ponies. It is riot known who
they were or what was their object in approach
ing so near the fort.
Mr. Horde,™, an Indian trader, has just gone
to the Fort with ail his plunder, stock, &c., and
from hi.-n I learned that little Thunder, although
knocked off his horse by a hall which struck his
butcher knife, and Spotted Tail who had two
horses shot under him, were not killed. Spot
ted Tail I have been told, is one of the si*
Indians who killed the mail partv in November
last.
' | Although Little Thunder's hand has been in
'j suiting persons with trains, and telling them
j that they were waiting for soldiers to kill them,
| as they came up the road; when the troops ac
! tually made their appearance, said chief went to
Gen Harney and told him he did not wish to
| fight. The General replied, "your tale and the
; actions of the warriors in your village do not
j correspond for they are al! mounted, and have
j bows, arrows, guns and shields, and are drawn
jup in battle array. Although you are a chief,
; you are at liberty—go and tell your people that
I came here to tight, and as they have beeti
waiting lor me, and appear prepared for my re
ception, tell them 1 shall attack them. It is
reported that the tight was a running one, and
the Indians, I am told, say that "when the mu
sic commenced (which I presume was the signal
to forward or charge) the soldiers all run and
came alter us as fast as they could." It is also
said that the Indians stated that the Big Chief of
the whites did not fool them : but told them to
get ready lor a fight ; and they aKo say that tin
whites must have taken pity upon them by not
killing all which it was in their power to do.—
The Indians appear to think that there was an
efibrt made on the part of the whites to wet be
tween (he Indian warriors and the women and
children, for the purpose ol fighting the rrwn
1 and letting the women and children escape, or
| capturing them alive : but the bucks interming
i led with their families, and the report says
j many more combatants were killed bv the hor
j ses while in the act of charging,
j From Horse Creek, 37 miles east to Lnra
: mie's Peak, about 42 miles west of Laramie,
| and on the south side ofthe Platte, the country
j is filled with Indians, who profess to he friend
ly,and anxious to keep out of harm's way.—
1 here is certainly "a big scare" among the In
dians in my neighborhood ; but what is going
. on among the hostile Sioux, between the Platte
and the Missouri; I cannot tell. Rumor states
that some are fir peace, while others are for
war. T presume that Gen. Hitchcock has taken
the field from Fort Pierre. If so, the Indians
j will soon believe that the whites really intend
i lighting. Capt. Lowell's command of one hun
i <! i rp£ i men is somewhere between Laramie and
Fort Pierre—hence you percieve that in al! !
probability there are three commands in the
I hostile country, viz: Gen. Hitchcock's, Capt.!
j Love IPs and that with Gnn. Harney. When
Gen. Harney shall reach Fort Laramie, no doubt '•
he will take a porifon of the troops stationed at !
said fort, and start two more expeditions to- j
wards Powder River and the Running Water,
in pursuit of the Minnie-congus, L'nc pa-pas, !
Hrtilees, Blackfeet, &c., who are represented as |
anxious for a light with the troops.
Notwitslanding the Sioux expedition was one 1
of the objects tor which four additional regiments I
of regular troops were required up to this time, '
alter hostilities have actually commenced, we !
cannot learn that more than company ol said re
gimenls has been permitted to take the field :
against the Sioux. I say permitted because that i
single company, Capt. Heth's is in this country 1
at his solicitation. This isolated company of
the tour regiments has been dubbed the Zouaves 1
of the F. S. Army.

TEIE CHOLERA IN THE CRIMEA. —A corre- '
spondent of the New York Courier and Enqui
rer writing from Paris under date of August I
14, says :
] rarely pretend to priority of information,
but believe I am now about to communicate to
yon an important and deplorable fact which
will hardly become known to French or Eng

the communication of it to you by this mail.
A telegraphic despatch from before Sebaslopnl,
dated 14th inst., was received by the French

hours after it was writtenV— announcing a (ear
ful augmentation of the ravages of the cholera.

which has, Irorn time to time, devastated the

| FIENDISH TREATMENT OF A CHILD. —The most
: outrageous and terrible abuse of a child that we
remember to have ever read or heard of, it be
| comes our duty to record as having jecently
' transpired in this place, it appears that Delan
! cey McConnei, a plough-maker, is now living
| with his second wife, and that the child refer
! red to—a girl about nine years old—is his own
i child by his first wife. His present wife—to
| use her own words, as told to us bv those who
j heard her make the statement—"never could
j bear the child;" and this dislike, it appears, has
grown into the most hitter and fiendish hatred,
! manifesting itself in the most awful cruelties
| towards the child, having recently kekt her
j confined nearly all the time either in the garret
I or the cellar, not only beating her most unmer
: cifully with stove wood, the shovel, tongs, or
; whatever came handiest, but actually almost
j starving her to death, besides keeping her in
such a filthy condition that she was perfectly
loatheaome and sickening to behold. Sunday
before last, it appears that the child had got so
| bad that the woman (is she worthy of the
name?) became alarmed and requested her hus
band to go for the doctor ; but for some reasol)
(from shame, we suppose,) he refused, and she
went to some acquaintances, who lived a dis
tance off, to request some one there to go.
They went themselves to see the child, and
were so thunderstruck that thev immediately
called in other witnesses, and on Monday morn
ing the woman was arrested and lined §lo.
On Tuesday morning the child was removed
and placed under the care of Mr. Fred. Bida
man and his lady, who deserve great credit for
their kindness and attention toward her. At
the time ol her removal she was the most dis
gusting sight we ever beheld, being a perfect
mass of petrifying sores and filth ; but hopes
are now entertained that she will recover. To
give our readers an idea of her starving condi
tion, we will relate one little incident. Jt was
stated in her hearing that her step-mother said,
"she was a nasty, thieving little thing," having
even stole all her soap-grease, while shut up in
the cellar. She replied, "I didn't steal all
tna s soap-grease, for some of it was so wormy
that I couldn't eat it." Hundreds have edi
ted her since her removal, arid all will hear
testimony that our description gives no adequate
idea of tile reality of the case.
Subsequent to her removal, the rase being
found so very flagrant, the woman was re-ar
rested, and alter examination was bound over
in SSOO to appear at the Circuit Court.—Can
