How the ticket is to be voted.
The ticket to be voted at the coming elec
tion, will not be on one slip, or solid, as usual.
The office of President Judge must be voted for
separately; thit is, the slip on which the office
of,& name of the candidate for President Judge,
is printed, must be cut from the balance of the
ticket, folded separately, and then tied up, or
placed, with the other part of the ticket after
that is folded. The rest of the ticket, Irom
Assembly down, will be voted together.
Our friends wiil please notice.
The President Judge Question.
There can be no office of public trust more
| closely connected with the interests and wel
fare of the people than the office of President
Judge. To wear the judicial ermina becom
ingly and worthily, a man must be honest, well
read in the law, quick of perception, impartial,
without prejudice, cool, and withal qualified
for the orderly and speedy dispatch of business.
Few men possess all these requisites, and but
comparatively few are endowed with even the
major part of them. In our own district, how
ever, a gentleman has been presented for this
dignified position, who unites in himself the
qualities necessary to an upright and able Judge.
We allude to the Hon. WILSON REILLY, of
Chambersburg. Gifted intellectually with ex
traordinary powers, well-grounded in the legal
science, quick to perceive and grasp the abstru
sest point, liberal and candid in his views, and
endowed with that nobleness of nature which
shrinks intuitively from injustice and wrong,
Wilson Reilly is confessedly the foremost man
in the district for the office for which he is nam
ed. Should he be elected, the people will have
upon the bench, not only an forest minister of
justice, but a man who will be able to save them
thousands of dollars in expenses by having their
business transacted with the proper dispatch.
The only opponent of Mr. Reilly yet in the
field, is IAS. NILL, of Chambersburg, nomina
ted by a minority of the Republican Conlerees
of the District. Mr. Nill is a gentleman, and
we have not a word to say against his moral
qualifications. He claims tc be a Democrat,
too, and that is surely no objection in our eyes,
except that we do not admire the Democracy
of a man who plays fast and loose with the Re
publicans, even if it is to cheat or deceive them.
But we do object to Mr. Nill's slowness in the
trial of causes, which evcy lawyer in the dis
trict knows unfits him entirely for the office of
Judge. Under his administration our dockets
would groan with unfinished litigation, and the
County Treasury would be made to pay double
for the inactivity of His Honor, Judge Nill.—
We warn the people against such a state ot
things, and appeal to them to prevent it by vo
ting against Mr. Nill. This is no mere political
question. If in the matter of nominations it
was impossible to take it out of politics, the peo
ple can and will do it, for it involves their dear
est interests, their homes, their families, and in
a greater or less degree, their social and domes
tic tranquility and happiness. Let us have an
active, working, vigorous minded, as well as an
upright and honorable Judge. We can, we
must have him in the person of Wilson Reillj'.
The''Republican" Judicial Conference.
On Tuesday last the Republican Conferees
from Bedford and Fulton and the so-called
"Union" Conferees {two "Republicans" and
one Democrat) from Franklin met at the "Ju
niata Crossings," and on the first ballot, nomi
nated James Nill, of Chambersburg, for the of
fice of President Judge. The Somerset Con
ferees, disgusted with the chicanery of the
Franklin county " Republicans," knowing that
McClure and Co. were determined to defeat
every candidate outside of Franklin county,
absented themselves from the Conference.
The Fulton Conferees were instructed to vote
lor Alex. King, of this place, but in violation
of their instructions and disregarding every
principle of honor and rignt, two of them vo
ted for Mr. Jfill on the first ballot. Thus
Mr.King was deliberately cheated out of a
nomination that was his by the expressed will
of the people, for six of the nine delegates j
that met in Conference,. were instructed to j
cast their votes for him. Whilst we have no !
sympathy with Mr. King, politically, we must
say that he has been treated most shamefully
in this matter. But Mr. Nill is no more the
regular of the party in the district
than Mr. King. A full conference would
have cast 12 votes, a majority of which
would have been 7. Yst Mr. Nill had but
5. Therefore, bis nomination is no more
binding upon the "Republicans" of the dis
trict, than Mr. King's would be,'were he to
claim the 4 votes cast for him, a9 a nomination.
But the Franklin county "Managers" had
pre-determined that none but a Franklin coun
ty man, of their own selection, should be nom
inated. The " Repository and Transcript",
the organ of the "Managers," had declared that
it would support no brother-in-law of Judge
Black, or Judge Kimmell, if nominated, the
editor meanwhile knowing full well that Ross
Forward, Esq., who was the Somerset candi
date, stood in that relation to beth Black and
Kimmell. The same dictatorial sheet had also
declared, in effect, that Alex. King could not
be elected, if nominated, taking the position
that none but a Franklin county man could
hope to beat Mr. Reilly. Hence, it will be
seen that the Franklin county "Managers" were
resolved, by fair means, or foul, to deprive the
Republicans of the Western end of the district
of any chance they had to obtain the candidate-
How effectually they succeeded, the work ol
last Tuesday plainly shows. It remains to be
seen, however, whether the "Managers" who
procured the nomination ol Nil!, will be sus
tained.
05r*We learn with pleasure, that our friend
Henry J. Myers, Esq.,of Adams county, has
been renominated by the Democrats, to repre
sent that county in the Legislature. Harry
proved himself an excellent, upright legislator,
during the last session, and we shall be glad to
bear ol bis re-election.
QSThe Democrats of Columbia county,
have nominated Col. Levi L. Tate (editor of
that able Democratic paper, the Columbia Dem
ocrat) as their candidate for the Legislature.
No better nomination could have been made.
' Hon Wilson Reilly.
By the proceedings of the Democratic Ju
dicial Conference which assembled at Bloody
Run, on the 19th inst., published in another
column, it will be seen that the HON. WIL
SON REILLY, of Chambersburg, has received
the regular nomination of (he Democratic par
ty of this Judicial? District, for the office of
President Judge. It is with pride, as well as
pleasure, that we place the name ot Wilson
Reilly at (he head of the Democratic ticket-
The choice of the Conference could not have
fallen upon a more able or more worthy man.
Mr. Reilly is well known to the people ofthis
county as a brilliant orator and an able law
yer. Twice have the sturdy yeomanry of Bed
ford, testified their appreciation of Mr. Reilly's
worth and they will do it again on the second
Tuesday of October.
!£F"C!apt. H. L. Ryce, of the Zouaves, de
sires us to state that his Company will leave
for Camp Curtin on Monday next. A few
more able-bodied young men will be accepted.
Democrats! .j
The time has came, fellow Demo
crats, for action! If we would main
tain the organization *f our party, if
we would promote the success of
our principles, if we would see the
Democratic cause triumphant, now is
the time to strike. Thank God ! amid
the wreck of laws and Constitutions,
amid the bloody horrors of civil con
flict, the ballot-box is free and un
trammelled. YVeyetcan meet as free
men, to express our choice for repre
sentatives in public capacities, freely
choosing our principles and men. Let
come what may,this sacred right must
be maintained. ThoughSecession,with
bloody, revolutionary hand, defy the
legitini&te Government of our country,
though the clangnrof marching armies
resound through the land, though the
printing pr§s be under ban and the
rostrnm choked with fierce and insane
mobs, the FREEDOM OF SUF
FRAGE, the bulwark of liberty, the
glory of American institutions, must
ana shaii be preserved. It is our du
ty, therefore, fellow Democrats, to GO
TO THE POLLS on the Bth of Octo
ber, and register our votes according
to our cnnscientious convictions of
right. Let us show to the world that
DEMOCRATS STILL LIVE, and
pride themselves in the principles of
their time honored creed. Let us
stand by the ticket which represents
the doctrines of our party, to which
the nation owes the blessings of the
past, and to which Hope looks with
expectant eye, for a glorious future.
Come ! "Little Berks!' 7 Come, Sout
hampton, Juniata, Bedford, Londonder
ry, Liberty and Old Napier! Come,
Democrats everywhere ! Arouse and
to work ! Marshal your forces! Urge
your men forward to do battle, as of

LATER FROM MISSOURI.
Surrender of Lexington
JEFFERSON CITY MO., sept. 19, P.M. —No
delinite intelligence Irorn L-xington has b<-en
received here to-day. Dispatches received
here from Boonville say it was curently repor
ted there that Lexington had been taken on
Tuesday. Two gentlemen who a rived here ate
this evening, having left Boonvill at 7 o'clock
morning, entirely discredit the report. There
were four thousand Fedeial troops at Boonville,
besides the Home Guards.
FURTHER FROM MISSOURI—LEXING
TON NOT C.\ PTURED-THE FIGHT STILL
UNDECIDED.
ST. LOUIS, September 20.—A gentleman who
arrived nere to-day from a point on the Mis
souri river opposite Lexington, witnessed a
severe fight thereon Wednesday afternoon for
the possession of three ferry boats lying at the
levee, price's rebel forces advanced on the
boats from above and befow, but after a severe
fight '.hey were repulsed Price also assulted Col.
Muiligan's entrenchments four or five limes on
Wednesday and was repulsed each time with
loss ol three or fourjhundred killed and wounded
Federal reinforcements under Gen. Sturgis
were expected to arrive on Wednesday night,
but as Price has possession of some of the ferry
boats, they would be unable to cross the river.
This account is rather incoherent and entire
reliance is not placed on it here. It is evident
however, that,the reported capture oi the
town on Tuesday is not correct.
THE BATTLE AT LEXINGTON—FUR
THER PARTICULARS OF THE AS
SAULT AND REPULSE OF THE ENE
MY.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20 —Additional particulars ol
the attack on Lexington have been received.
It has been ascertained that the first attack was
modr on Muniiay,u'ith about 8,000 men, lasting
two hours , when the rebels were repulsed with
a loss ot one hundred killed and from two to
four hundred wounded. Our loss is reported
at only five killed and severe wounded
The Federal fortifications are situated at the
edge ol the town, on a bluff overlooking the
river. The works are of earth, seven feet high
and twelve feet thick with a ditch sourrounding
them.
Another and smaller work is erected inside,
defended also by a ditch. The whole is capable
of holding ten thousand troops. The attack
on Wednesday by Gen. Price's rebel troops was
a very determined one and lasted nearly all
day, resulting in heavy loss to the enemy.
Federal reinforcements from the North un
der Gen. Sturgiss, will probably number 3,000,
but should they be unable to cross the river the
only aid they can render will be to sweep the
enemy with their artillery.
It is confidently hoped, however,that the rein
iorcements which left Jefferson City on Wed
nesday by the steamers will be able to land at
or near Lexington,and cut their way through the
enemy's forces, and join Colonel Mulligan.
It is said that Col* Mulligan expressed his
confident expectation of being able to hold his
own against any force that might be brought a
gainst him.
MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS IN MISSOURI.
LEAVENWORTH, Sept. 19—The latest
accounts from the Southern border represent
Gen. Rain's Confederate troops as marching
northward, and Gen. Lane's command of Fed
eral troops following him.
A force of one thousand rebels were at Piatt
City, eight miles east, yesterday, supposed to be
on the march to join Rains or Price, crossing
the river at or near Liberty. A portion of
them have been engaged in the bridge burning
on the western division of the Hannibal and St.
Joseph's railroad. A column of Federal troops
were in pursuit of them.
JEFFERSON CITY THREATENED—FUR
THER FROM LEXINGTON.
JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 20.—1t is reported
that Ben McCullough is in the Osage, 70 miles
hence, marching on Jefferson City.
Col. Richardson took up a position to-day
with his regiment of Honr.e Guards, at Osage
bridge, where the first attack Will no doubt be
made. Liut. Montgomery, of Gen. Fremont's
cavalry, has just arrived from Geoigetown, and
says heavy firing was heard at Baoneville, from
the direction of Lexington, all day on Wed
nesday and late at night, and it was believed
there that Gen. Lane had succeeded in'rein
forceing Col. Mulligan at Lexington. It was
the impression at Boor.eville that Gen Price
could not take Lexington without terrible
slaughter.
Ex.Gov. Jackson, it is said, has not more
than 950 inen with him, and is surrounded bv
Federal troops on every side.
THE LATEST FROM KENTUCKY.
MOVEMENT OF Titoors SOUTHWARD, &C.
LOUISVILLE Sept. 20th.—Col. Crittenden's
regiment, well armed, passed through the city
to day to the Nashville depot, and proceeded
immediately southward.
Brig. Gen. Ward arrived here to day from
Washington, and will forthwith lake command
of Central Kentucky.
Gen. Rosseau's forces are in possession of
Muldrough'e Hill.
Jus!ice Catron, of the IJ. S. Court, issued (o
day writs of habeas corpus in the case of £*-

I lie bill which passed both Houses of the
Legislature, i> questing Gen. Anderson to call
for and take command of Kentucky volunteers
was vetoed bv Governor McGoffin, and imme
diately passed by a constitutional vote over
the veto.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22. —lt appears that there
were two fights at Blue Mills Landing on the
17th. The first between five hundrtd men of
the Third lowa Regiment, with one piece of
artillery, under Lieut. Col. Scott, and about
4,000 rebels. After a desperate struggle of one
hour's duiation, in which the Federal troops
lost 120 killed and wounded, and all their hor
ses, they retreated slowly for half a mile, haul
their cannon by hand, and took up a position
on an eminence, and awaited an attack but
the enemy did not pursue. Not long after
Col. Smith's command of Fedeial troops' with
four peices of artillery, approached Blu*'.Mills
Landing by another route, and engaged and
routed fhe rebels as they were crossing
the river.
A special despatch to th Chicago Times
states that Col. Mulligan and his whole
command at Lexington, Mo., surrendered to
Gen. Price on Friday morning at five o'clock.
The siege continued Irom Monday until the
time of the surrender. The federal troops
were without water all Thursday and Friday
and were completely exhausted. They fought
desperately, btft were compelled to yield to
superior numbers.
THE REMOVAL OF GEN. FREMONT
DEMANDED-STRANGE CHARGES
—HIS SUCCESSORS NAMED.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.
The pressure on the Government is very
strong lor the removal of Gen. Fremont. It
is now affirmed that the administration will be
forced to supersede him in eon9equence of
overwhelming evidences of his incompetency.
Moreover, >t is stated that he has been dabbling
in contracts, and is wastefully extravagant.
Talk runs high on this matter to night, and
Generals Meigs and Banks are variousv spok
en of as Fremont's successor. The Cabinet
held a meeting on this subject to day, and it is
i known that the gravest charges against Fre
mont came beiore it. Mo decision has as yet
been arrived at.
JUDSON'S MOUNTAIN HBRB PILLS. —How
strange and wonderful it often seems to us that
a medicine composed of simple mountain herbs
I and roots, should so certainly search out and
' cure disease. How surprising that the Indians
j should know and presei ve so long and welia
; secret that has escaped the search of the great
! est physicians the world has ever seeu. True,
i the ancient inhabitants of Mexico were a strange
race, found by the Spaniards living in large cit
ies, and allowing for their strange customs and
religion as well civilized as their conquerors.—
In the words of a writer of some celebrity,
" They have perished from the earth, their cit
ies are gigantic piles of ruins, their King and
Princes so mighty in their life, are forgotten
their ruins and their medicine alone are left."
The united testimony of all intelligent persons is
that JUDSON'S MOUNTAIN HERB PILLS
are the most successful medicine in the world
in curing disease. Sold by all Medicine Deal

ELIZABETH DEVORE, wife of Cornelius
Devore, Esq., in the 66th year of her age.
By this despensation of Providence, a kind
and truly affectionate husband and a large fam
ily of devoted children, grand children, and
many relatives and friends, have been depriv
ed of one to whom they were all endeared by
every tie of tenderest affection. Her loss to her
family and neighboihood, is irreparable. Her
benevolence to Ihe poor and afflicted was most
proverbial,her hand being ever open andready to
minister to their wan ts, to alleviate the sorrows
of the destitute and needy always afforded her
the greatest comfort. The house of her hus
band has always been the seat ol the most gen
erous hospitality and thus Mrs. Devore became
known, admired and beloved by a very wide
spread circle of friends and acqaintances. Of
her it may be said with great truth that.
"None knew her but to love her,
"None named her but to praise."
