dh ho Death of Lieut. H. P. Petriken. The following letter to Mr. JQ. Yarrimer . of Pleasant Gap, from his cousin, Uaptain J. Harvey Larrimer, briugs us the sad intel- ligence of the death of Lieut, Hardman P. Petriken, of this piace : Camp NEAR SHARPSBURG, Mp, September 20, 1862. . J. G. LagriMer— Dear Sir :—1 embrace the opportunity efforded by a few hours halt | to drop you a note to relieve any anxiety you may feel jor my safety, after our late hard fighting. 1 am unhurt, thank God! ard 1n pretty good health exceptiag severe rheumatism. We have gained two brilliant victories in succession over ‘the rebels, but have suffered severely ourselves. We have now driven them back into Virginia and are preparing to pursue them. Jackson's boast of invading Pennsylvania and wintering his army in Philadelphia and New York, has proved as ridieulous as I supposed it would, while the detraétors of ¢* Little Mac’’ should hide their diminished heads along with the friends of secession. We have captured a large number of pris oners who sav, or at least some of them say, we fought a larger army than we ever did before, : It is with sincere sorrow that I have to record the death of Lieut. Petriken. He was killed on last Tuesday night, while posting a line of pickets, by" getting too near the enemy, who fired on him. He was as gallant a soldier as ever faced a foe! | have sent his body home. My paper is out—do write at your earliest convenience. Yours, as ever. JAS. H. LARRIMER. The death of Licut, Petriken will bring a feeling of sorrow to this entire community. *“ He was as gallant a soldier as ever faced a foe,” is the testimony of his Captain, him self a lion~hearted man. - Although this af fliction is almost 100 grievous to be borne, yet it will be some consolation to his friends to know that he died like a man and that his body has been sent home for burial. — May the gallant soldier rest in peace and ‘his memory ne’er be forgotten. —— De Tne News.-—We have nothing particular from the army since the late battles in Ma- land Gen. McClellan, in a campaign of seventeen days bas succeeded in driving the ‘Confederates out of Maryland, which secures the safety of Pennsylvania, if indeed, an invasion of this State, was ever contemplated. Our losses in frightful, and will not amount to less than 15.600 men. The Confederate loss has not been positively ascertained, but is believed to be fully «qual to, if not much greater ‘than our own. Gen. Mansfield, we believe the oldest officer in our army, was killed in one of the engagements. Gen. Hooker and a number of uther distinguished officers on our side. were severely wounded, Gen Rich- ardson, it is ‘eared. mortally. Col. Miles was killed at Harper's Ferry. At the latest dates. Gen. McClellan was preparing to push Ais successes into Virginia. ‘The small size of our paper this week | «does not admit of any extended summary of the news. er rrr ere mn i The President has issued a proclama- tion declaring freedom to the slaves of all those portions of the Union vhich shall be found in arms against the Government after the first of January next. Thus has he shown his real character at last. The clov- en foot now sticks out boldly from beneath the hypocritical gown which has so long hid it from the public, and there can no longer be any doubt as to the real sentiments of our old Tycoon : Poor old Abram! In spite of the warns ings of his friends, and in the very face of his own protestations, the damnable politi- cians of the Greeley schoo! are hurrying ‘him and the country to destruction. God save the Commonwealth, for we have lost all faith in man! ho We are pleased to state that our pleasant friend, Mr. Henry Ruble, will have a lot of fresh shell Oysters, at at his eating saloon under the Conrad Houee, to~night, and hopes to see his friends and customers crowd in on hi. ‘Hen knows how to “get up’’ these delicious little “critters” in the most appro- ved style, and is able” to gratify the most epicurean taste. Besides Oysters, Mr. Ru- ble keeps all kinds of eatables on hand, and serves them up in the finest style of the art. _ As acaterer for the public, he can’t be ex. celled, and his genial manner and pleasant way of “doing things,” are sure to make dum hosts of friends, 177 Democrats, organize! Don’t forget that one of the most important elections ev- ~ er held in this country will take place on the second Tuesday of October next. the late battles have been! The unconquerable determination, the un- guenchable enthusiasm and perfect unans imity of feeling, which now so peculiarly distinguish the Democracy of <“Old Centre.” is but the certain augury of the glorious trumph which awaits us at the polls on the 2nd Tuesday of October. We have now every prospect of success, and that prospect should nerve us all to redoubled exertions. We therefore say to our friends be active, | be vigilant, be organized —bring out every | Democratic vote on election day—vote the Democratic ticket, the whole Democratic ticket, and nothing but the Democratic ticket. We caution Democratic friends to beware of all bigots who'deal in religon and politics—who would make the pulpit a pol~ rostrum. These bigots are always epposed to true Democratic principles, and their objects are at variance with the precepts of Christianity and hostile to the best interests of the whole country. We hope for the honor of our cause, and the credit of old Centre, that no Democrat will be found false | to his political faith, and be duped by pro-~ fessions of black Republican political spec- ulators, to cast his suffrage in favor of men who have lit up the torch of incendiarism, and flooded our county with the blood of our citizens. 07 This one fact should be distinctly presented to the mind of every Demorrat: | THERE IS NO MAN WITHOUT INFLU- | ENCE! — There is no Democrat but can do | sometlang for the gaod cause! In conver- sation—in the diffusion of documentary mat ter—in refuting and patting down the sophism and falsehood of the Black Repub~ lican Abolition electioneercrs and press—and especially in taking sure steps to get every Democrtic voter to the polls and keeping the ballot box free from pollution. Be on the look out for pipe layers and disorgani- zers—every Democrat can do much. It is the people’s business—and will they not see to it? ee ee <Q epee ee 7" Last week we chronicled the death of Capt. Josiah Baird, formerly of this county, at Glasgow, Mo., and this week it is our duw ty to announce the death of another of the same family, who died, a prisoner, at Rich- mond. The circumstances of his death are not known to us.

Work not to secure a party trumph, or the honors or emoluments ,of office but to redeem the Government from ‘the rule of congress that has proven itself (to be cornpt, maligant, and imbecile.— . Either the president must yield, if the next Congress be of the complection as the last, ‘or the Union must be divided.

If conservative men of the Republican par- ty will join with us; we will welcom them i as brothers, but if they profess conversation, and seek to deter us trom luty by telling us that we are distracting the country. we are not to heed their clamor, but increas our efforts. The day is dawning. "The long black night of Aoolitionism is- fading before the pure light of patriotism. Let Demo- crats remember that we are temperatly but firm v to urge the cardinal principles of the party until they are practically rec: ognized and adopted. No man or interest must te allowed for an instance to displace object of the democracy. the preservation of the government. For this we work, not as partizans, but as men who beelive in their souls that the Democratic party is essential to the salvation of the country.— Holmes County Farmer. 077 The cry fora “Union” ticket is always started by the Republicans in those counties where there is no prospect of electe ing a Republican ticket. We hear no talk of “Union” tickets in Indiana, Allegheny or Somerset counties, where the Republicans have a majority. It is necessary to have party lines there, but in a strong Demo- cratic county you are sure to hear the cry of “no party’ and ‘Union’ tickets raised This way of doing business was tried in a few counties in this State last year and also in Ohio, and every where that we heard of its being tried, it was a clear failure. Democrats, remember this. Experiments have been tried often enough and the coun- try has suffered enough already by trying them. : from the minds of the people the paramount { BEFORE THE ELECTION. resolutions composing the platform of the Republican party. as adopted at the Chicago Covention, in 1860: ‘*Resolved, THAT THE PEOPLE JUSTLY VIEW WITH ALARM THE RECKLESS EXTRAVAGANCE WHICH PERVADES EVERY DEPARTMENT OF THE THE FEDERAL GOVENMENT; THAT A RETURN TO RIGID ECONOMY AND ACCOUNTABILTY IS INDISPENSABLE TO ARRRST THE SYSTEMATIC plunder of the Public Treasury by favored partizans—while therecent startling develop- ments of frauds and corrupution at the Fed- ral Metropolis show that an entire change of Administration ss imperatively demanded. AFTER THE ELECTION, The following confession was by Hon. Mr, Dawes, a Republican member of Congress from Mass., on the 25th of Ap#il, in which he exposed the corruptions of Lincoln's Ad- ministration: : “The gentlemen must remember tha! in the first year of a Republican Administration which came nto power upon professions of Reform and Entrenchment, there is indubita- ble evidence abroad in the itand that som:- body has plundered the public treasury well nigh in that single year as much as the entire currest yearly expenses of the Government during the Administration which the people hurled from power becauseofuts corruption.” FoNerAL OF Bria.
