Democratic Conferee Meeting.
The Democratic Congressional Conference
re-assembied at Lock Haven, ¢n Tuesday
evening last. Hon. Jonny A. Gawnrg, of
Lycoming, resumed the Chair, and C. T.
ALExaNpis, Esq. of Centre, acted as Sec
retary. The following Conferees were pres-
ent. vig!

der.
Clinton —11. L. Dicffenbach, (0. A. Mayer,
Lycoming —J. A, Gamble, George White.
Potter —Tin.othy Ives.
Geo. Wine, Esq., presented a substitu-
tion from the Conferees of Tioga county,
authorizing him to cast their votes. This
was opposéd on the ground that the gentle-
men wire appeinted by a convention that
did not claim to be Democratic but was
mude up of members of all parties —and
also that it was manifestly absurd for a Cen-
ferce from any county to represent another
county also at the same time. After dis-
cussion a vote was taken on Mr. Maver's
resolution to permit Mr. Wire to cast the,
vote of Tioga, which resulted as follows :
Ayes—Hoover, of Centre, Mayer, of Clin.
ton, Gamble, ot Lycoming, and Ives, of
Potter, 4,
Nays — Diefenbach, of Clinton, and Alex-
ander, of Centre.
Several resoludions in regard to the affairs
of the country were then offered by Mr.
Maxer, which wound un by declaring it in-
¢xpudicut to nominate a Democratic Candis
date for Congress. It was proposed to
smend them by adding “and that Hesky
Snerw oon, of Tioga, be recommended for
that position.” On this proposition the vote
stood as follows :
Ayes—Alexander, of Centre, Dictien
bach, of Clinton, aud Ives, (2 votes) of Pot-
ter—i.
Nays Hoover, of Centre, Mayer, of Clin
ton, (rambie and White, of Lycoming, and
White (2 votes for Tioga) —6.
Lt was then propos:d to insert the name
of W. I. RevNoLns in place of Mr. Suinr-
woon. On this proposition the vote stood
as follows :
Ayes —Hoover and Alexander of Centre,
Diffenbach of Clinton, and ves (2 votes) of
Potier—5,
Nays—Mayer, of Clinton, Gamble: and
White, of Lycoming, and White (2 votes)
for Tioga—0.
The vote being a tie the amendment was
lost.
A motion was then made to strike out the
resolution declaring that no nomination
should be made, which was lost by the same
vote as the above,
The question recurring on the adoption of
the original resolutions (declaring against a
nomination by the Conference) they vrere
agreed to, the vote Leing as follows :
Ayes —Mayer, Gamble, White (for him.
self and Tioga, ) and Ives (2 votes)—7.
Nays— Alexander and loover—2.
Difienbaugh entered a protest against the
whole proceedings. It will be published
hereafter. :

The cass of Lewis Ballard.
Imprisoned without guilt, held without
trial, liberated without reparation—that is
the damning record which fewis Ballard
must write : an honest and loyal man, im~
prisoncd in Fort Layfayette by Provost mar
shal Kennedy, under orders from Secretary
Stanton, for having been engaged in the sup
stitute agency business—only that, and
nothing more. A policeman, whose badge
was concealed, stepped into Mr Ballard’s
office, where he was transacting a business
not yet prohibited nor proclaimed a crime ;
his honesty guarranteed by such men as
Belmont & Co., Hoyt, Sprauges § Co., and
Daniel Drew ; his loyalty proven by the
whole course of his lite. The policeman
purchases an obligation to provide him with
a substitute if drafted (such are the arts by
which Justice must reach its ends.) then
shows his shicld and takes Mr. Ballard a
prisoner to the headquarters of Mr. Ken-
nedy. The Provost Marshal refuses to re
ceive bail, sends his prisoner to the Fifteenth
ward station house —even denies him per~
mission to visit first is own residence. —
Not merely was to tral gaanted—no war-
rant was shown by the Provost-Marshal.—
To a citizen of New York, one of the States |
of a constitutional Union, the oral states |
went of an insolent and arbirary officer
was deemed quite enough ground for cons
signing him to the walls of a Bastile and
the companionship of traitors. He lies
there for days, and at last is released un-
conditionally, without information as to
the cstimate of his guilt, without bonds,
without oath given or required—indebted,
perhaps, to the intervention of powerful
friends with a member of the Cabmet for
the liberation which, if he was guilty, was
not his due, and if he was guiltless was,
in its manner. insult added to outrage. This
befell in New York —the chief city of the
nation—the very core of its loyal heart.
The stones of the streets of a city of cras
vens should cry out at such scorn of her
honor, her loyalty, and her citizens rights.
Imprisoned without guilt, for an act yet to
be pronoun‘ed a crime, arrested without
warrant, incarcerated without trial, libera
ted without reparation. In what other
terms than these do we phrase the high
handed ordainings of despotism 2 Is there
any other language for the dee is of tyrants 2
Yet this is a republic, and these arc the
men of the nation’s choice.
There are none to plead the cause of the
oppressed. The bar ot New York is silent.
A phantom Provost Marshal opens and shut |
the doors of the harbor fort, and they are |
dumb. The fort is nawed for him who |
gave to the Father of his Country the key of |
a Dastile which has perished, but the omen |
| is naught. The blood mn their veins is
milk.
The days go on. The administration per
mits this monument of its shame to be
heaped higher—of dead civil rights and of
throttled liberties. Every nour offers it th
chance of atoning for the past and of estab ~
lishing impregnably what only in an hour
of national peril it could have undermined.
But every hour the shaft is driven deeper. —
"The crime is even clinched. For he who is
liberated goes free neither because he is con:
fessed guiltless nor because he has been
proved not guilty ; and the prisoners who
remain, guilty or guiltless as he—not more,
not less - remain, it would seem, that the
spotless majesty of Law may be sutlied by
every offense.
“Only One Killed."
Ouly one killed. Only one vigorous life
cut short ; only one home chain broken ;
only one wife made a widow ; one group of
little ones made fatherless ; or perhaps one
fond mother’s heart robbed of its idol ; one*
tender sister made brotherless ; one loving
heart stricken down 1n its first great agony.
Low many times within the last few months
have faithful comrades broken the turf and
deposited underneath the form of the « only
one killed.” The next morning papers per~
haps told of a brilliant affair; repulse of
the enemy with on'y one killed on our side,’
etc; and after an iggifferent glance at it,
we passed on to the next paragraph, And
yet for some poor hearts, the term *¢ only
one killed” contains an immeasurable
amount of sorrow.
In vain will they watch for the coming of
that loved one, who went out from them in
all the strength and beauty of youth ; in
vain will they listen for the sound of that
voice whose last music for them was the
sad cadence— ¢ good bye.” The anxious
eyes that so often gazed down the old road
will not be gladdened by the sight of that
dear form ; and the harmony of the home
music will ever be broken, for that voice
will always be wanting. ‘Neath the pal
metto is a mound, and there quietly sleep-
ing is the ““ only one killed.” And alas '—
how many such little mounds there are
scattered over the runny South—mouads
that arc marked by no head-stone! No
loving hands ever p'ant flowers on them—no
loving eyes ever water them with tears. —
lands hardened by grasping steel consigned
to the dust, and.none but eyes unused to
weeping gaze on those little mounds, We
do not realize the vast amount of sorrow
this war is creating. None but those from
whose hearthstone has been taken the ‘only
one killed,’ can realize 1t.

From certain indications, which have |
gone to the world within'a short time past, |
we are led to ask: What is Treason? |
Horace Greeley of the New York T'ribune, i
at the beginning of the rebellion published |
the following infamous sentiments : !
« We have repeacedly said, and we once |
more insist, that the great principal embod- |
ted by Jefferson in the Declaration of Ince.

Just powers from the consent of the govern-

moral right to do so. * * > =
** Whenever it shall be clear that the |
great body of the Southern people bave be- |
come conclusively alienated from the Union, |
and anxious to escape from it, we will do |
our best to forward their views.” : i
We detest and abhor such sentiments, but |
Horace Greeley uttered it, and is permitted
to roam at large and defame the Government
and the Democratic party. |
A meeting of the Abolitionists was re- |
cently held at Boston, where several speaks |
ers boldly avowed their hostility to the
Union, and Parker PiLLspuny spoke as fol. |
lows :
¢ Half a million of the sons of the North
have gone to that worse than Gangeese cro-
codile that inhabits the rivers of the South, |
and new 300,000 more are demanded. Why |
did not a voice go up from the United North
that not another soldier should go until the
war was turned against slavery ? (Great
applause.) Abraham Lincoln, formerly |
called the slave hound of Illinois, has in-
creased and enlarged his former tendency.”
We detest and abhor the above and yet |
Pillsbury utters it, and 1s unmolested, and |
is at liberty to preach his Disunion docrines |

and claims the right to silence other men’s

the floor of the U. 8. Senate in disregard of
the rules of that chamber, and is honored
and fawned upon by Vice President Hamlin
has proclaimed himself the open enemy of |
this Union for years, and says that not one
man should be permitted to leave the State
until President Lincoln has declared a prin-
cipal.

WHAT EMANCIPATION DOES FOR THE NEGROES
OLD AND DEFENCELESS LADIES INSULTED BY
DRUNKEN NEGROES,
The following account of affairs in New
Orleavs, will speak for itself. :
Extract of a Letter from a Pennsylvania
Lady in New Orleans, to her Son in Phil-
adelphia,
* % * You can have no idea of the
trouble the negroes are giving. You would
| not believe it unless you were here to see
* for yourself. Your brother and sister went
up the Red river some weeks ago, meaning
to return in a few days, and leaving me in
charge of the house with two colored serv-
ants, whom you know have always been
kindly treated since they have been with us.
The Red (river boat on which were your
brothers was the last one that left New Or-
leans, and it was not permitted to return, all
communication having been cut oft with
that neighborhood ; and so I have been left
alone ever since, exposed to the insolence of
the servants, who meanly take advantage of
my helpless situation, and do all in their
power to annoy me.
1t appears by the recent proclamation that
they have been set free, and they exhibit
their importance by acts of base ingratitude
to one whe was always their friend. The

herself to the finest chair, will draw it up
beside me and commence *her taunts. She
has a drunken husband who has lately come
to the house and refuses to leave. They
have selected their own apartments, where,
with their invited guests, they riot half the
night. As soon as he has had his dinner he
goes out on the verandah and sleeps the bal-
ance of the day. They use up the fuel and
provisions at pieasure, and I am afraid to
say a word, as my life may be endangered.
They are very expert at poisoning. Some
of the ladies of this city have been brutal.
ly beaten by them, some choked, and one
not far from our house, had her throat cut
by them, a few nights since. The other day
I sent for a negro to take up the carpets.—
He entered the parlor and drew his chair
close to me with the utmost familiarity. —
Without speaking a word I immediately left
the room, and on my way was met by one
of the servants, who asked me with a rude
| sneer, whether “* I did not think he was as
good as a white gentleman #7 Do you not
think my situation an enviable one? and

A Speech Needing Qualification.
Gen. Wilcox, in his late speech, says of
the rebels: + 1 think they can bring into
the field from one million "to fourteen hun
dred thousand” —including of course. those
already mustered. The General tells us
why. ‘They take everybody, and there
are in their army young boys and gray hair-
ed men.” Why are these, who are not sub-
ject to draft, in their army 2 The General
tells us again: < They have so much hate
and rancor against us.” He says: “We
have got to close the books of last year, and
letitallgo as lost. * * * [tell you
we are just beginning this contest. Our ar-
my must be five times as large as theirs, for
the reason that we are carrying on war in
the enemy’s country. We have roads (of
thousands of miles through hostile popula-
tions) to guard, and forts to build and gar-
rnson. * * * ‘They know the strategic
points, and have many other advantages
over us.” The general was a well trained
officer of the old Army and talks with mili
tary appreciation. Nevertheless he expres~
ses the conviction that ** we can crush this
rebellion.” But, withal, Gen. Wilcox’ state-
ments, taken just as they stand, might be
taken as * discouraging “enlistments,” and
so subject bim, and the Black Republican
Journals in which we find his speech, to the
pains and penalties prescribed. He may
have correctly estimated the possible resour
ces of the 1ebels, in a war carried on upon
their own hearthstones- -where everybody
fights. It is, however, startling, to nave a
trained military man, advocating the war,
tell us we must have an army ¢* five times”
as great as theirs—for, where are we to find
it?
Gen. Wilcox’s estimate is thal we must
have from five to seven millions of men to
crush the * million to fourteen hundred
thousand” of the rebels, The last census
returns at hand tell us that, in the * loyal”
States such a number cannot be raised, tho’
the draft were to extend to all from fifteen
to sixty ! , Besides, take the lesser of the
two calculations : Five millions of soldiers
for one year, on a moderate computation,
will eost five thousand millions of gold par
value, in one year !—and how are all to be
fed? 1tis true that Gen. Wilcox tells us
farther, we cannot conquer till we are ready
to « give the Zast dollar and the Jast drop of
blood,” The * last dollar” and the ‘last
drop of blood” sounds too much like the
*¢ last man” dying in the ‘last ditch.” The
‘ last” few men, with or without the “last
dollar,” in any contest, may come to the
wise old conclusion that * Governments are
for the people,” not peoples for any Govern-
ment. Il the ‘“ /ast man” of any people is
to perish, what is that Governmentjto gov-
ern ¢ If its *¢ last man” be slain, what is
the Government worth ?
In order not to discourage enlistments, we
feel bound to say that Gen. Wilcox’ state-
ments are some little trifle exaggerated—to
be excused, however, inone so long a suffer-
ing orisoner.— Freeman's (N. Y.) Journal.

WasniNGroy, D. C, |
September 9, 1862.
¢ In consequence of the existing state of
aflairs, provisions have gone up almost to
Richmond prices. But amid all these tur-
moils and troubles apparently ahead, there
is one significant fact that proves that a bet.
ter state of feeling is being developed. In
the field of the late battles where IL happens
ed to be, the Confederates extended the ut-
most civilities to our wounded, —giving them
freely of hospital stores and food, and in one
instance loaning 150 b anke's for the purs
pose of making our wounded comfortable. —
This will be a powerful lever in ending this
unholy war.”’

Important From Cincinnati.
Kirby Smith Retreating in canfusion-—He
1s Alarmed at Buell’s Movements-—The
Ohio Militia Returning Home.
CINCINNATI; Sept. 12, 8 P. M.—A recon.
noissance in force was made to day to a
distance of twelve miles from our entrench~
ed position.
A deserted camp of the enemy was dis-
coverd three miles from Fort Mitchell, con
taining provisions,turkeys, chickens and
beef recently killed, showing that their de..
parture bad been a hurried one.
Five prisoners Were taken, who said that
the rebel General Kirby Smith had intended
the attack of Cincinnati, but heard that a
large force of vurs had landed at Warsaw,
thirty miles west, to take him in lank and
rear, when he ordered a hurried retreat,
which was commenced last night at nine o’
clock.
A large body of our troops have heen ad-
vanced to hold the new position.
CiNciNNam, Friday, Sept 12 9% P, M.—
The enemy have fallen back ; but whether
in retreat or only for the purpose of drawing
us out is not yet ascertained.
Several captures of the enemy's pickets
have been made, who give favorable acv
counts of the condition of their army.—
They report it largely reinforced, and that
the men were anxious to be led forward.
It is thought that they were retreating on
Lexington, but [ think they only want to
get us out of our entrenchments.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 13.
The rebel army has fallen baek beyond
Florence. Some stragglers taken hy our
scouts say they had twenty thousand men.
Others say only ten thousand advanced
this side to Florence, under Gen. Heth.
Prisoners say the retreat was made be-
cause they heard of Buell's presence in
Kentucky and had not heard from Bragg.
Our scouts last night, reported that the
enemy was retreating in confusion.

Yankee Freedom is a lad,
And Union is his sister ;

And he’ ll give seeesh a twister.
For they said Mrs. Sam she died—
We always called her virtue—
But you, Secesh, indeed have lied,
And now he’s going to birch you.
Yankee and his gister, too
Are bound on retribution ;
For our mother they said they knew
Died of a broken Condition,
But Yankee Freedom will now show
Secesh to have been mistaken ;
Though of necessity he’s their foe
Until they right again awaken.

Was turned as short as this .
