COMMISSIONER, MICHAEL YVEKTZ, of Union township. POOR DIRECTOR HIRAM DAVIS, of St. Clair township. AUDITOR, DAVID EVANS, of Monroe township. Abolition Strategy. The abolition county convention met in this place, on Tuesday last, and nominated a ticket composed of such names as they fancied will best secure tbe cohesion of their disintegrating and discordant party. The only obstacle in their way was the fact that but few nominations were to be made. "Oh for more offices to be filled!" was, on this occasion, the inward ejac ulation of many a worried and disconsolate ab olitionist. But the fates unluckily would have it that in this dangerous crisis in the history of ; abolitionism, the offices to be promised were in sad disparity with the gaps in the ranks which j the prospect of obtaining them alone could fill. ; So the astute convention turned its particular | attention to the " aching void" in Union town- ; ship and gave the principal county nomination j to that township. That nomination, these ..b- j olition tricksters imagine, will make ample a mends to the "Republicans" of Union for the draft upon their ranks by the conscription.— ! Frightened well nigh unto death by the declara- ; tion of several of the most prominent men in j that township, that they would never again vote the "Republican" or abolition ticket, they I thought it a capital Lit to nominate for Com- ! missioncr a near relative of those dissatisfied gentlemen. They intend that it shall l<o the special duty of that nominee (A. H. Hull, Esq.,) to conciliate and bring back to their party, the men whom the tyranny of the favorite measures ot their administration. has driven out of their i organization. We shall awnit, with some de- i gree of curiosity, the result of this trick. Mean while, our humble opinion is, that the abolition ist* will find to their discomfiture, that they caunot stay the current of feeling against them by Such straws as a nomination for county com missioner. Beauties of the Conscription. During the week just past, the Board of En rollment have been engaged in holding, at the court house, in this place, their examination of persons conscripted, under the late draft, in this j county. The scenes attending this examination were enough to shock the sensibilities of any nature not entirely unimpressible by the appeals of humanity. Now, an aged mother, the life worn out of her by a hand-to-hand struggle with the world for a livelihood, totters along the street, soliciting aid in enabling her to pay the commutation of a drafted son whose labor i* her only sustenance. Now, the weeping wife of a husband whose bronzed arm is scarcely able to earn tbe daily bread of those dependent upon him, appeals to you for help, and tb* little in nocents at her side plead with sad eyes for the mite which is to go toward the purchase of their father. Then, come the consumptive, and the epileptic, who had confidently expected to be exempt, and they too beg for deliverance from the Juggernaut of the Conscription. Oh, how many families are made penniless, how many homes desolate, by the ruthless power that drags father, husband, son and brother into the sham- Was of this abolition slaughter! Oh, how sad the picture of distress and despair wrought up 1 o this ere while happy and prosperous land, by the bloody band of this dreadful war! Brothers, friends, men of all parties, in the name of hea ven how long is this cruel, inhuman business to last? Have we not the virtue, have we not the j' courage, to say that it shall end soou and for- 1 ever! Can we not lay aside prejudice and per sonal and selfish interests and with a voice that I must be heard, bid the carnage and desolation ; cease? Oh, for the love of your own children, ;, for the sake of your own firesides, for the cause ■of civilization, humanity and Christianity, !et !, M unite to bring PEACE to our country! Now 1 w the time to do it. Tbe peaceful ballet must j ie our weapon. Let us wield it with one uni- !. ted and determined effort aud the stroke we shall i : give will slay forever the vanpyre that now ; •uckf the lifo-blood of the nation. DK. F. M. MARBOURG. —By our advertsing ©alumna of to-day, it will be that Dr. F. M. Marbourg has located at Scbclisburg, this oounty. Dr. Marbourg studied medicine with Dr. Watson, of this place, and afterwards grad uated from the University of Pennsylvania. We are glad to learn that he is eminently BUO oessful as a practitioner and that be has already won many friends and admirers by his skill and attention. A Deserved Compliment. ! The daily Constitutional Union , published in Washington pays the following well-deserv ed cowP l ' meat t° our able and popular repre j ge/itative in Congress, after publishing in full a speech recently made by him in the House. We will lay the speech before our readers at an ear ly day. The paper referred to says:— \\ e publish in our issue of to-day the admi rable argument of the Hon. A. H. Coffroth, of Pennsylvania, in opposition to the joint res olution to abolish slavery throughout the Uni ted States. We are at a loss to see how any man can attentively read it without the convic tion that the resolution is utterly in defiance of the Constitution and fraught with the most ter rible evils to the country. He assumes the ground that the Constitution gives no power to amend itself to the detriment of any portion of our people. If the North may succeed in so amending this instrument as 10 deprive the people of Kentucky from holding slaves, why, says Mr. Cotfroth, may not the South, in the event of her preponderance of power, say that the people of Pennsylvania shall l>e deprived of engaging in a peculiar kind of enterprise. Mr. Coffroth has rendered a signal service by his clear and unanswerable argument against this bill. Mr. Coffroth alludes eloquently to the history of the Democratic party, the Crit tenden amendments, and makes a powerful vin dication of the just and patriotic policy of Mr. Buchanan. We bespeak for this speech a care ful perusal. Overslaughed. j The abolition leaders in this place were com. j pletely out- generaled in the convention of Tues i day last, in their efforts to secure to someone of their favorites the recommendation for Repre sentative. Their peculiar claims were complete ly ignored. After some half a dozen ballots, Mr. D. B. Armstrong, (of Hopewell, we be lieve) received the recorrmenda'ion of the Con vention. We presume the principal reason why Mr. Armstrong was selected, was because be opposed the election of Mr. C. W. Ashcom, in 1860. The other candidates never having bolted ' and being devoted slaves to their party, it was ; not so dangerous to snub them as it would have been to do the same thing with the friends of Mr. Armstrong. Then, too, our friends Bram- ! well and Trout, who both ran when there was j uot the ghost of a chance for success, are coolly set aside now that there is some hope of an e- j lection. Th.sis "the most unkindest cut of all." j Weil, if defeat should unfortunately be in store for the Democracy of the district, they will have this consolation, that there is an excellent com pany of Republican "yearling" members as well as "yearling" candidates, who have gone before and made the way easy. Peace to their ashes ! So mote it be. DKMOCRACY SOUND. —Not a single Democrat drafted in Bedford township, was exempted for physical disability. About one half of the Ab olitionists drafted in the same district, were ex empted for that cause. The sanitary condition of the Democracy is excellent, whilst that of their opponents seems to be singularly dilapida ted. It is true that most of the abolition ex empts arc stout, hale looking fellows, and out work with ease their comrades in the harvest field. It is likewise true that one of them, af ter being exempted, came down street arid fought a fist-fight with two conscripts who were pro nounced fit for service. Snows ITS I RUE COLORS. —-The Philadelphia Inquirer , in speaking of the vote given the other day, by Senator Cowan, against the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, say* that although e lected as a "Republican," that gentleman has strayed from the "true faith." The Inquirer has hitherto pretended to be neutral in politics, but now it throws off the mask and fully un covers its Abolition character. According to the Inquirer, the "true faith" is that of the "Republican" party! Let no man be deceived, in future, by this janus-faced concern. It has shown its true colors at last. NORMAL SCHOOL —The attention of those desiring to prepare themselves for the profess ion of school teaching, is directed to tbe adver tisement of the county Normal School. Messrs. Dickerson and P isher are eminently fitted to conduct such aschool arid we advise our young friends who are desirous of becoming teachers, by all means to attend npen their instructions. POSTPONEMENT OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATION AL CONVENTION.— The National Executive Com raittee of tbe Democratic party, have decided to postpone the National Convention until the 29th of August. The Convention will bo held on that day in tbe city of Chicago. t3*Mr. David A. Nulton, of this pla-c, has been given charge of the telegraph office at the Spring*. This is a good selection on the part of the company. "Davy" ig r. good operator and we hope he will have a "nice ti je" of it in his new situation. THE AMERICAS MONTH LT KNICKERBOCKER We have received the July number of this ex cellent periodical. Tho Knickerbocker basal ways stood high as a literary work, and now since politics have been introduced into the mag azines, true to its genuine appreciation of the right, its love of truth and its American char acter, the old Knickerbocker wields his parti zan club on the side of Democracy. The edi tor, Mr. J. Holmes Agr.ew, is one of the ablest writers in the United States, and is assisted by a corps of excellent contributors. We advise our Democratic and conservative friends who wish to take a monthly literary publication, to subscribe for the Knickerbocker. It is about time that Democrats withdraw their support from the Atlantic and other abolition maga zines and give their undivided aid to such sound periodicals as "Knickerbocker" and the "Old Guard " Address J. Holmes Aguew, 37 Park Row. New York city. The Slave Market Outdone. ' A White Man Selling his own Sons! Sumner and bis followers may prate as loudly j as they please about "the barbarism of slavery," 1 ; and Mrs. Stowe may ruck imagination to create - 1 a monster like the brutal Legre, but, we bad an ■; exhibition in this town during the examination jof those recently conscripted, which for inhu . I man and brutal barbarism, wo defy any slave j mart in the world to match. A father, who . f had already sold one minor son as a substitute . i to tbe human shambles, where he fell a victim, . j appeared in our town on last Monday, dragging . ! at his heels two half grown, ill-shaped boys, f! They were all the sons he had, and he had con . tracted to sell them both as substitutes. They , 1 had been bargained for by "loyal" men. The , | smaller one, almost a mere child, was prospective , ' ly the property of a loud-inouthed and pestilent , | Abolitionist—a huge beast of a man, who stood ,' six feet two in his stockings and weighed over j 200 pounds. This intensely "loyal" C and "pa [ triotic" fellow, when his own son, a sturdy, well j grown young man, enlisted, followed him to | Chiimbersburg, and brought him back home on j tbe plea that he was a minjr, and had enlisted without his father's consent. Yet be is always full of war, and eager for fighting so long as it , is at the expense of tbe blood of some one else than himself or his own family. Being drafted, however, and wishing to lessen tiie probability i of such a misfortune befalling him ugain speed ily, and impelled at the same time to save a lit tle money, he had barguined with a brutal fa ther to pay a less sum than three hundred dollars for the body, the bones, the blood, nay, nion, the It/e oj a child. We defy the whole South to furnish an instance of such a disgusting "dick er" in human flesh, or, from among all the pro ' fessional slave traders who have disgraced its j so 'l> suc h a P a i r of monsters as these. There i was no veil 01 pretended loyalty or simulated patriotism to conceal the naked hideousness of ! this transaction. The father was actuated sole jly by a sordid desire for gain; the purchaser | was moved by the sneaking white-livered cow ardice that forbade his risking his own worth , less carcass in a war for the prosecution of | which he howls daily, and by the mean selfish | ncss of his nature which prompted him to make j a cheap bid when bartering for a human victim. ; A plot had been made up by the parties to this I disgusting transaction by which they hoped to ! i deceive the board. The boys were made to he : as to their ages, and represented themselves as j older than they really were. So immature and ! ; youthful, however, was the appearance of the jwretches, that the Board refused to believe I l he statements made to them, even though the i I father himself lied as to their ages in order that ' | he might be enabled to eflect a sale of his oft'-1 spring. They were both rejected for this rea- > son, us entirely too young for the service. The overgrown human brute, who had expected to j j save himself in this way, sorrowfully and reluc- j tantly paid over his money to save his cowardly I carcass for a time, and the wretched father, af- ! ter reeling about our streets for a day or so in drunkenness, went home, much disappointed, no doubt, in being balked in the sale of his sons. ' j There is no coloring about this story, no ficti-' tious glossing. It is true, just as we tell it, and i known to he so to the very letter by many who! will read this statement. Wc need make 110 i comment. Ituman language would fail to char- i acterize the transaction as it deserves to be. The concentrated curses of all the devils in hell would ! scarcely be sufficient to vent the fierce indigna- j tion which ought to move any man on witness- I ing such a scene. We have seen negroes sold i on the block in the South to the highest bidder. ! but that only involved a change of service. ; Here was a white man, with one son whom he had sold dead already, endeavoring to sdl two more boys to what was almost certain death. He found loyal abolitionists ready and eager to become the.purchasers of cheap substitutes 0 Lex ns hear no more about the barbarism of slave ry, when the barbarism of this war can exhibit such a revolting spectacle in the light of heaven on the free soil of Pennsylvania.— -Fulton Uem. What the Fremouters are Doing, As nn indication of the exciting character of the political campaign upon which we are en tering, the N. . Journal of Commerce mentions that hremonts inends in that citv are organiz ing clubs upon lie largest scale. " The Central Club (rooms on Broadway near 18th street) is a complete institution of its kind, and will he fol lowed by the establishment of similar organiza tions in each ward. Although cut off from Government patronage, the Fremonters seem to have members and money enough to carry on a large political business, and will ask no odds of their peculiar antagonists, the Lincoln men. It ,3 said 'o be their intention to outdo everv dem onstration which the Loyal Leagues, or Lincoln clubs, may make in the interest of the Balti more ticket, and show by undoubtable evidence that the fvemontcrs can nlways muster the lar ger crowd and the more enthusiasm. The con test between the two will give peculiar spice and animation to the campaign. At an enthusiastic h remont meeting, held in New York on Monday evening, 20th inst., the following among were passed. We aie glad to find the people of every section of the country beginning to call things by right names: Jtetolved, That as the Haiti more Convention has nominated Abraham Lincoln for a second term of the Presidency, in violation of his in augural pledge not to run again for that office, and believing that the election of a man who is contro.lcd by events, when they make war against the liberties and rights of the people, but contiols with a despotic hand every event promotive of freedom and justice, would be dis astrous to the cause of the Union, and its res toration on the basis of universal freedom ; it, therefore, becomes i?s, in the language of our own nominee, to organize again&t him every ele ment ot conscientious opposition, with a view to prevent the misfortune of his re-election. Kepubhcan Copperheads are becoming nu merous in this section if opposition to Lincoln makes them such. ARE THEY CONSISTENT?— The Abolition press and speakers have for years been preaching up with great vehemence that there should be on ly one party. Are they now acting accor ding to their own teaching? On the 31st of M.iv a large and respectable meeting nomina ted Jo! a C. Fremont for President, ar.J Gen. John Cochrane for Vice President; but since that time another faction of the Abolition nar ty has re-nominated Abraham Lincoln and An drew Johnson for the same offices. Is thi con sistent on the part, of the latter, as t!. save been the loudest advocates of the party princi ple? Are we, from henceforth, fo view the iin colnites as schismatics or secessionists ? V/© wait fox their answer The War. | We are able this morning to give a correct history of the Federal disaster in frontof Peters burg on Wednesday last. On Tuesday morn ing Grant's lineextended around Petersburg from the northeast to the southeast. Brook's co.ps, held the Federal line north of the Appomattox. Wright was on the south bank of the Appo mattox. Hancock was south of Wright; Burn side southeast oF Hancock; and Warren on the southern flank. Warren's line extended a short distance across the Petersburg and Norfolk Railroad southeast of the town. On Tuesday Grant began a complicated move ment. Just above the neck on which Bermuda Hundred stands there is a second neck, formed by the winding course of the James River. On the north side of the river, opposite the end of the neck, a small stream, called Four Mile Creek, empties. It is about three miles above Bermuda Hundred and Malvern Hill. On Mon day night a pontoon bridge had been laid across the James io the mouth of the creek, and the iron-clads were brought up above the bridge.— The various movements then began. One di vision of Brooks' corps was detached, under command of Gen. Foster. Foster marched frum the works in front of Bermuda Hundred to the bridge, crossed it, and, accompanied by the iron-clads, went about two miles up the north bank of the James. No enemy was seen, and lie halted at the Kingsluml road, a road which rur.s from the James above Four Mile Creek to the village of New Market, near Mal vern Hill. The iron-clads anchored in the riv er near him, and he began the construction of an earthwork. I his work is on the north bank of the river, opposite the end of Butler's line of forts on tbe south back. A fleet of sunken stone vessels connects the two. The work is twelve miles from Richmond, and was made ne sessary by the fear of the Confederates planting batteries on that side, which could throw shells across the stream into Butler's camp. Foster was not molested whilst digging, through var- ' ious reconnoitering parties of the enciuy made ' their appearance. Whilst Foster was crossing the James Gen. Smith with his entire corps marched to the Appo mattox and crossed to the south side, from which he had come only a day or two before. This left but two divisions at Bermuda Hundred, un der Brooks, to defend Butler's long line. It I was late on Tuesday afternoon when Smith : reached Wright's and Hancock's camps, on the j south side of the Appomattox. Wright and Hancock drew their troops out of the works ! and Smith marched in. Wright and Hancock went to the rear,and early on Wednesday morn ing started westward towards the Weldon Hail road, running south from Petersbuig, ami the Danville Railroad, running southwest from Rich mond. War;en marched after them. Burnside and Smith were left in front of Petersburg. Wright and Hancock were thus in a very dangerous position. They were stretched out in long columns, crossing the various roads run ning from Petersburg at right angles, with the ilank exposed to Confederate attacks. Gen. Lee at once took advantage of it. He sent a column down the Weldon Railroad, and anoth er down the Jerusalem load, which is east of the railroad. The Confederates on tlie V\ eidon Railroad entrenched themselves in iiont of W right, so that he could not reach the road.— The Federal cavalry, however, by making a d> tour of about ten miles south of Wright, reach ed the railroad, and loro up the track. Wright, n.idiiig the enemy in bis front, halted the troops. At once, the other Confederate column crossing down the Jerusalem road, attacked. Hancock's troops were surprised. They broke and in con fusion retired southwards. The enemy pene- i trated between the divisions,and even the bri gades. Warren came up as hastily as possible, hut found the enemy entrenched on ground tak en from Hancock. In less than an hour one thousand Federal prisoners and fourgr.ns were \ captured, and fifteen hundred were killed and wounded. Far in the rear G6n. Birney, who j had command of Hancock's troops rallied them, j Night came on, and prevented any pursuit by | the Confederates- Whilst Hancock was attacked, VVright, who was confronted by the enemy on the railroad, was also assaulted. lie could not go to Han cock's assistance, for the enemy, in large num bers, came down upon his advance from the railroad embankment. The skirmishers repea ted upon the main body. The enemy passed on, got into right's rear, and captured the greater part of two regiments. Wright at once order ed a retreat. Attacking them with part of his force to cover the movement, his corps retired to the position taken by Hancock. Here both corps dug rifle-pits to protect themselves. The darkness, however, prevented any Confederate attacks. These disasters compelled ihe abandonment of the expedition. It was fe„red that the Con federates would interpose between the shattered corps, and their communication with City Point. During the night, Warren's corps was pushed to the front to protect a retreat. The enemy retired a <=hort distance before it, and left the road to City Point open.' Wright and i Uncock at once began to retrace their steps. The march was not long, and on Thursday morning tb.y, with Warren, reached Burnride's camp, in front of Petersburg By their quick return the en emy was prevented from cutting their commu nications. On Thursday night the affair was finished, and the three corps re-took their posi tions in their works before Petersburg. Warren was r.'xt to Burnside; then HanctHt and Wright on the sou'hern flank. The line extended to its oid position across the Norfolk Railroad. On Friday nothing occurred beyond the usual amount of skirmishing. On Saturday morning the Confederates made a sudden attack upon Burnside's corps in front of Petersburg. It was most probably a reconnoissance to discover whether Grant's troops had .returned to their old positions. The enemy quickly retired, hav ing lost a few prisoners. At noon on Saturday everything was quiet. It is reported in Wash ington that President Lincoln on his recent vis it to City Point found Gen. Grant's army to be much depleted, and sadly in need of reinforce ments. {Secretary Stanton, it seems, does not inter-! to send any more military bulletins. Wc stated some time ago that Ewcll's corps of Lee's army had been sent westward toward Lynchburg. Hunter thus being between two enemies abandoned nis attack upon Lynchburg. He began n retreat northwestward into Western Virginia There are no particulars of the re treat yet received. It began on Sunday, June 18. The Confederates followed it closely, und report that they had captured several hundred prisoners. By Southern advices we learn that a large engineer corps has '-een organized at Richmond for the speedy repair of railroads cut by Federal raids. This corps has thus far suc ceeded in repairing all the broken railroads with in a very short time after their destructioa.-dje. Mansfield's Dispensatory says that most of the Sarsaparilln of the shops is inert and worth less. Dr. Ayer in his writings on this drug states that not is it inert as found in the shops, but so also are most of the preparations from it, or bearing its name. He shows, how ever, that this fact arises from the use of worth less varieties, or unskilful preparations by in competent men; that the true Medicinal Sar*a pariila (Sarza Smtlax off.) of the tropics, when freshly gathered in the bud, is one of the most effectual alteratives we possess. Combined with other substances of great alterative power, like Todine, Stillingia, Dock. &e., it mattes Ayer's Comp.

With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot have health; with thai " life of the flesh" healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is compounded from tlie most effectual antidotes that medical science has discovered for this afflict ing disteni]ier, and for the cure of the disorders it • entails. That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised, is kn -n by all who have given it a trial. That it does combine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably- proven by the great j multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has maue of the following diseases: King's Evil, or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Erup tions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Erysipelas, Rose or St Anthony'. Eire, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Coughs from tuberculous deposits in i the lungs, Wnite Swellings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and lyphilitic Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Female WeakDessc \ and, indeed, the whole series ' of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Mioute reports of individual cases may te found I in -IVKR'S AMERICAN ALMANAC, which is furnished to the druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be " rned the directions for itr use, and some of the remaikablc cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those | eases are purposely taken from all sections of tho i country, in order that every reader may have ac ] cess to some one who can speak to him of its bene fits from personal experience. Seroiula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far | more subject to disease and its fatal results than j ore healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shortc n, and docs greatly !iorten, the average duration of human life. The vast importance of these con j siderations has led us to spend years in perfecting I a remedy which is adequate to its cure. This wo now offer to the public under the name of AYEE'O SARSAPARILLA, although it is composed o: ingre j clients, some of which exceed the best cf Santo. ; parilla in ..iterative power. By its aid you mir \ protect yourself from the suffering and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruption# that rot and fester in the £' od, purge out tho causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its peculiar virtues this remedy stimulates tho j vital functions, and thus expels "the disteirr-ers which lurk within the system or burst out on any | part of it. We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of iiarsapariliu, that promised much and did nothing; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtaes have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for tho cure of the afflicting diseases it is intended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more effectual than any other which has ever been available to them. A'S'ASH'S CHERRY PECTORAL, Tno World's Treat Remedy for Cough 3, Co'ls, Incipient, Consumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patients in advanced sta ges of tho diseaso. This has been so long used and so universally known, that we need do no more tlian assure tho public that its quality is kept up to the best it ever has been, and that It may be rviiou on to do ail It ba< ever done.
