The Convention of Union men "held on Tuesday, wns strong in numbers and purpose, and harmini oua in action. Personal preferences were not put forward to the detriment of right principle. The Union, freedom and prosperity, are the words ex pressing the sentiments uppermost in the minds I of all. Preserve the Union, put down the rebel- I lion, and punish treason were the utterances on the occasion. A tickets entitled to the support of all men of the only party tree to the country, (namely, the Union party) was nominated. ABRAM H. HULL, Esq., of Union township, w;ts the nominee for Commissioner. Mr. HULL has been for yeara a Justice of the Peace in Union township. He is a man of intelligence and integ rity, and possesses good business habits, a qualifi cation rather useful to a commissioner sometimes. I ASA. STCCKEY, Esq., of Snake Spring township, is the candidate for Poor Director. Mr. STCCKEY is well known as one of the most useful and capa ble citizens in the county. Probably no man in the county would perform the duties of Poor Di rector more efficiently than Squire BTTCKEY. EMANUEL J. DIKUL is the nominee for Auditor. Mr. DIEHL is a farmer of Colerain township, and will make an excellent Auditor if elected. Hon. ALEX. Krxa was proposed to the judicial confe rees for President Judge. Hon. FRANCIS JORDAN for Congress, and Mr. D. B. ARMSTRONG, of Hopewell Township for the Legislature. These are all strong men, and if nominated, will receive the hearty support of the Union Party. The Rea olutions are pointedly drawn and to the purpose. They should be carefully read by all, who desire to bare a clear idea of the objects of the Union Party TIIE DEMOCRATIC - XO>IINATIONS. The Democrats, at their Convention held last week, nominated MICHAEL WORTZ, of Union Township, for Commissioner. HIRAM DAVIS, of St. Clair, for Director of the Poor, and DAVID EVANS, of Monroe, for Auditor. The Congres sional Conferees were instructed to support A. H. COFFROTII, for re-nomination. Conferees were in structed to support B. F. MYERS for the Legisla ture. F. M. KIMMKLI. was recommended for President Judge. These nominations appear to be all correct except the last. We suspect there must lie some mistake about the nomination of Judge Kimmel. The Judge is a "War" Demo crat, and when here at the last Term of Court flat ly refused to speak at the peafe palavar held in the Court-House on that occasion. A committeeja bored long and earnestly with him, endeavoring in vain to persuade him just to say a 'word." We hear that he will not accept any honors from the peace wing of the Democrats. Coffroth has richly earned a re-nomination. He has been faithful in villifying the purest public men in the country. He defamed in the most gross' and indecent, manner, in a speech made in the Court-House; in May. the young women engaged i in teaching at Port Royal. He has been true to j his Southern brethern. He lately voted and made j afoolisli speech in Congress against an amendment \ to the Constitution, abolishing "African Slavery | the corner-stone of the Confederacy.'' He oppos- i ed the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, and of j course voted against it if he was in a condition to j be in his scat when the vote was taken. These j acts and speeches make him dear to every friend of a despotic tyranny, and entitle him to the firm support of every sympathizer with treason and disunion. Mr. Myers is alsoentitJed to are-nom ination upon about the same grounds that Mr. Coffroth is. He has done everything that could be reasonably expected of him, to sustain the Confederate States" by weakening the confidence j of the people in the cause of the Union by misrep- j resentation, and the constant suppression of im- ' portant facts, showing the advantages and victories we are so often gaining over traitors aud treason. We think his nomination very right and, proper "under the circumstances." GIVINGTAWAV. There is pretty good reason for believing that the great Rebellion is giving away in some quar ters in the North, as it has long since been giving away in the South. JAMES BUCHANAN the most useful abettor of the Rebellion in its incipiency, appears to lie transferring his aid and comfort, so long given to the enemy, to the Union. He shows j a disposition to make all the amends in his power i for the great wrong he has done his country, lie is now giving the aid of his extensive influence, and large means, to the cause of the Union. It is stated on good authority that, he has actually put Fifty Dollars and his autograph to the United States Sanitary Fair, at Pittsburg. From this we infer that a great change has taken place lately in the mind of the "Old Public Functionary." Last March his face was set against Sanitary Fairs in general, and particularly against the one then holding in Lancaster city, Committees waited upon him in vain for contributions. lie could then do nothing to aid and comfort the soldiers fighting hts Southern brethern. patriotic sacrifices ? Mr. ARMSTRONG, the Union nominee of Bed ford County, for the Legislature, has not yet taken a prominent part in poiiitcs. He lias been for the past three years in the army; a member of the Reserves, ne is quite a young man but has al ready shown an ability, energy and intelligence, that promise a future, honorable to himself and useful to his country. HUNTINGDON COUNTY Pounce.—The Union Convention of Huntingdon County met on Tues day the 14th ult., and nominated for Congress, William Dorris, Esq.. giving him the privilege of appointing his own Conferees. Capt Brice X. Blair, -a crippled soldier, was nominated for Sen ate ; John N. Swope, for Assembly: and Capt. J. D. Campbell for District Attorney. The ticket is a good one, and meets with general approval. The President of the United States paid a visit to Gen. Grant last week. He speaks of the con dition of army matters in the very highest terms To Major-General Dix : A dispatch from General Grant, dated yesterday, June 27th, at 3.30 p. M., at his headquarters, reports no operation in front, except from our guns, which fire into the bridge at Petersburg, from a distauce of two thousand yards. The dispatch gives the following intelligence from the rebel papers: The Petersburg papers of the 25th state that Hun ter is striking for Jackson river denot, about forty miles north of Salem, and say that if he reaches Cov ington, which they suppose he will do with most of his forces, bat with a loss of material, he will be safe. f l he same papers accuse Hunter of destroying a great amount of private property and stealing a large number of wagons aud horses and cattle. The same papers also state that Wilson destroyed a train ot cars loaded and furniture, burned the de pot, buildings, Ac., at Burkesville, and destroyed some of the track and was still pushing snuth. All the railroads leading into Richmond are now destroyed and some of them badlv. [NOTE. —Burkes- ville is the junction of the South Side and Danville railrords.— RSPOßTAE.] A dispatch from Gen. Sherman received this morn ing, reports that yesterday, June 27th, an unsuccess ful attack was made by our forces on the enemy's positions, which'resulted in a loss to us of between two and three rnousand. The following particulars are given : Pursuant to ray order of the 24th, a diversion was made on each flan k of the enemy, especially down sandtown road, nt BA. M. McPherson attacked at the southwest 'end of Kencsaw, and Thomas at a point about a rnile further south. At the same time the skirmishers and hrtilerv along the whole line kept up a sharp fire. Neither attack succeeded, though both columns reached the enemy's works, which are verry strong. " t McPherson reports his loss about 500 and Thomas abont 2,000. The loss was particularly heavy in general field officers: Gen. Harker is reported mortally wounded; also Colonel Dan. McCook, commanding a brigade ; Col. Rice, 57th Ohio, very seriously; Col. Brownhall, 40th Illinois, and Col. Augustine, 55th Illinois are kill ed. McPherson took a hundred prisoners, .and Thomas about as many. But Ido not suppose we inflicted a heavy loss on the enemy as he kept close behind the parapets. No other military intelligence has been received bv thedenartment. EDWIN M. STANTON. WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON. ) June 27, 1864—9 45 P. 31. j To Major General Dix : Dispatches from City Point at half-past, four o'clock this morning report no fighting to-day.— Movementa are in progress which are not now proper for publication. The Richmond papers report an attack upon Lynchburg by Gen, Hunter on Saturday, and that he was repulsed. It is believed, however, that there was nothing more than a reconnoissance, and that having ascertained the place to be strong ly defended, Gen. Hunter withdrew, and is opera ting upon the enemy's communications at other points. A dispatch from Gen. Sherman's headquarters, dated yesterday evening, at 81 o'clock, states that "it has rained almost iuoesantly, in spite of which our lines have been pressed forward steadi ly, and an important position has been gained by Gen. Howard. The enemy made a desperate at tempt to retake this position last night, making seven distinct assaults 011 Gen. Whittaker's brig ade of Stanly's divisjpn, and losing not less than seven or eight hundred. Two hundred killed were left on Whittaker's front. The assault was followed by a heavy fire of artillery, under which ihe position was fortified and is now safe.' Our cavalry is across Noonday Greek on our left, and one brigade of the twenty-third Corps is across Noses Creek on the right, but the rebel left is be hind a swamp and the rains prevent any advance. The fighting has been quiet severe at all points, the enemy resisting stubbornly and attempting the offensive whenever he can." Gen. Sigel reports from Martinsburg,yco-clay, that, "their is no truth in the statement of the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 21st, in relation to a raidof Mosby. Winchester is not occupied bv the. enemy, nor are the telegraph-wires cut be tween this place arid Harper's Ferry." No military intelligence from any other quarter has been received to-day by the department EDWIN 31. STANTON, Secretary of War. Surprise. of Ihe Second Corps. WASHINGTON, June 25.— The following letter was received here at noon from the Army Cor res pondent of the Association Press:— "HEADQI'ABTERTS ARMY OF TIIF. POTOMAC, June 23. — The attack upon the Second Corps on Wednesday near the Weldon Railroad did not re snlt so disastrously as was at first supposed. The line was formed by Barlow's Division on the left, with Birney's and Mott's command on the I centre, and Gibbons' on the right. It was expected that the Sixth Corps would have connected 011 the left with Barlow, but it seems quiet a gap was left into which A. 1\ Hill's Corps entered, and before our men were aware of it they received a volley from the rear which crea ted a panic in the ranks and caused a rapid re treat to the woods in the rear of the Third Divi sion. Tins left the flank of the Third Division unpro- ' tected, and the enemy taking advantogc of it, , charged through and got fairly into the pits, or- j ijcring our raeu to surrender; the troops however j left their trenches aud fell back rapidly, but many I were captured and quite a number killed and ! wounded before they got away. The number of our loss in prisoners is reported : at about one thousand, while some make the fig- 1 ure higher. Our loss in killed and wounded is probably 1,500 ; some of our officers engaged in j this fight had just joined their commands, after being exchanged, and when surrounded and order ed to surrender, replied, 1 'ncrtr—death rather than Libby Prison," and fighting their way as best they could, many of them got back safe. Enemy Driven Back, and Onr I.lne Advanced. At 8 o'clock P. M. a charge was made by the Sec ond Corps, and the line of "works from which they had been forced in the afternoon recovered. We lost scarcely a man in this advance, as the enemy lired too high , their balls nearly all pos ing over the heads of our men. A number of prisoners were taken, and skirmishing was kept up all night along the line, the pickets being some points not fifty yards apart. At daylight this morning an advance of the en tire line was made, when it was found that the en emy had taken up a new position some distance further back, where they had thrown up strong entrenchments during the night, which they still hold. Colonel Blaysdell of the 11th Massachusetts was killed to-day by a sharpshooter, while visiting the skirmish line. The Sixth Corps moved toward the railroad this morning, driving the enemy before them, and during the afternoon reported that they were in possession of the roan, and that arrangements were at once made to destroy it At 5 P. M. a large force of the enemy were seen moving toward the front, as if to resist the advance of the Sixth Corps, and an engagement in that di rection is expected to-night. Eater. June 24, 5 A. M.—Nothing more serious than picket firing took place during the past evening and night, and very little is going on this morning. The New Movement—Grant Again Fnttlng In Left. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, 1 Thursday, Juue 23 —6 o'clock a. m. } Wilson's division of cavalry moved off in the di rection of the Weldon Railroad. When last heard from they had reached Rives Station, and were tearing up the track along the road. The 2nd and Cth Corps moved from their old positions on the right toward the Weldon Railroad. Gen. Lee'seems to have anticipated a move ment by our left flank, or else he designed to turn our right, as when near the Jerusalem plankroad the two corps were confronted by Gen. Hill's corps, and a smart engagement ensued. A battery of the 12th New-York Artillery was annoying the Rebels, who succeeded in getting round oa the flank, and charging it The infantry n!i*f crtißg the battery were surprised, and after a faint show of resistance, retired, leaving four guns in the hands of the Rebels. Our line was then reformed. The men were becoming accustomed to Gen. Lee's new of acting entirely 011 the defensive, and must have been confused by his bold and sudden onset. Two divisions of the sth Corps were within ea sy supporting distance on the right, and the 6th Corns were ready for any hostilities 011 the left. Charges were made by the Rebels, who suffered severely with each fresh assault. There was heavy firing in front of the 9th Corps, about midnight. At times the musketry broke out into regular volleys, and all night our cannon I kept tiring at regular intervals. CONGRESS. MONDAY, June 20.

The prin cipal poiut at issue was the proposition to repeal the S3OO commutation clause ; out-the discussion took a wide range and was participated in by various mem bers on both the Republican aud Democratic sides. Ihe debate was a very animated one throughout, and at times became very personal and bitter Messrs. Garfield and Sclienk of Ohio were the only members who advocated an ambrocation of the draft commu tation. Mr. Odell of Brooklyn strongly opposed it at the same time urging a vigorous prosecution of the war till the Rebels are conquered, and avowing his determination to support the Government in all its efforts for this purpose. Mr. P. Wood made a speech denouncing the war, and insisting that it should be immediately stopped. He became so of- i fensive and violent in his remarks that he was hissed by members—a manifestation of disapprobation which is not remembered to have been ever before shown a Representative on the floor of the House. No vote on the bill was reached. It will probably be taken on Monday. §kw iMvcrHsrmrats. ILSIO'IO BONDS. riITIESE Boudnare issued uoder the Act of Congress of March Sth 1864. which provides that all Bonds issued under this Act shall he EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under any state or municipal authority. Subscriptions to these Bonds are received in United States notes of Na tional Banks. They are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the Government, at any period not let* than ten nor more than forty yean from their date, and un til their redemption Five Per Cent. Interest will be Paid in Coin, on Bonds of not over one hundred dol lars annually. The interest is payable on the first days March and September in each year. Subscribers will receive either Registered or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered Bonds are re corded on the Books of the U. S. Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the owner's order. Coupon Bonds are payable to order, and are more convenient for com mercial uses. Subscribers to this loan will have the option of having their Bonds draw interest from March let, by paying the accrued interest in coin—(or in United Stater notes, or the notes of National Banks, adding fifty per cent for pre mium,) or receive them drawing interest from the date of subscription and deposit.. As these Bonds are Exempt from Municipal or State Taxation, their value is increased from one to three per cent per an num, according to the rate of tax levies in various parts of the country. At the present rate of premium on gold they pay OVER EIGHT PER CENT. INTEREST in currency, and arc of equal convenience as a permanent and temporary investment. It is believed that no securities offer so great induce ments to lenders as the various descriptions of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, thefaith and ability of privato parties or stock companies or separate communities only is pledged for payment, while for the debts of the United States the whole property of the coun try is holden to securo the payment of both principle and interest in coin. These" Bonds may be subscribed for in sums from S6O up to any magnitude, on the same terms, and are thus made equally available to the smallest lender and the largest capitalist. They can be converted into money at any moment, and the holder will have the benefit of the interest. It may bo useful to state in this connection that the to tal Funded debt of the United States on which interost is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March, 1864, was $763,- 975,000. Thb interest on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be 545,937,126, while thoenstoms revenue in gold for the current fiscal year ending June 30th, 1364, has been so far at the rate ofover $100,000,000 per annum. It will be seen that even the present gold revenues of the Government are largely in excess of the wants of the Treasury for the payment of gold interest, while the re cent increase of the tariff will doubtless raise tho annual receipts from customs on the same amount of importa tions, t05150,000,000 per annum. Instructions to tho National Banks acting as loan agents wero not issued from the United States Treasury until March 26, but in the first three weeks of April the sub scriptions averaged more than Ten Millions a Week. Subscriptions will be received by All National banks which arc depositaries of Public money, and all RESPECTABLE BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the country, (acting as agents of the National Depository Banks.) will furnish further information on application and AFFORD EVERY FACILITY TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Truly your friend, "Thomas B. Florence. From John B. Wickerehatn, Esq., firm of Wickersham A Hutchison, the celebrated Manufacturers of Fansy Iron Works, 259 Canal St. lam the recipient from you of one of the greatest fa vors that can be conferred upon man, viz: that of health. For many years have I suffered from one of the most an noying and debilitating complaints that the human fami ly can be afflicted with, Chronic Diarrhea. During tho loug time I was suffering from this disease, I was uttended by regular physicians, giving me but tem porary relief. The cause seemed to reniaiu until I was induced to try llooflanu's German Bitters. After the una of a few bottles of that valuable medicine, the Complains appeared to be completely eradicated. I often inwardly thank you for such a valuable specific and, whenever I have an opportunity, cheerfully recom mend it, with full confidence in its reliability. Truly yours, Jobs B. Wiccsrsbax. New York, Feb. 2, 1861. From Julius Lee, Esq., firm of Lee A Walker, the most extensive Music Publishers in tho United States, No. 7211 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. February Sth, 1864. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentleman:—My mothcr-ia law has been so greatly benefitted by your Hoofland's Ger man Bitters that I concluded to try it myself. I find it t lean invaluable tonic, and unhesitatingly recommend it to all who are suffering from dyspepsia. I have had that disease in its most obstinate form —flatulence—for many years, and your Bitters has given me ease when every thing else had failed. Yours truly, Julius Lee. From the Hon. JACOB BROOK, Philadelphia, Oct. 7th, 186 S. Gentlemen: In reply to yonr inquiry as to the effect produced by the use of Hoofland's German Bitters, in my family, I have no hesitation in saying that it has been highly beneficial. In one instance, a case of dyspepsia of thirteen years' standing, and which had become very dis tressing, the use of one bottle gave decided relief, tbe sec ond affecting a cure, and the third, it seems, has confirmed the cure, for there has been no symptoms of i's return for the last six years. In my individual use of it 1 find it o be an unequalled tonic, and sincerely recommend its us* to the sufferer'. Truly yours, JACOB BROOM, 1707 Spruce St. Rev. W. D. Seigfried, Pastor of 12th Baptist Chnieh, Philadelphia, December 26th, 1863. Messrs. Jones A Evans—Gentlemen:—l have recently been laboring under the distressing effects of indigestion, accompanied by a prostration of tha nervous system. Numerous remedies were recommended by friends, and some of them tested, but without relief. Yonr Hoofland's German Bitters were recommended by persons who had tried them, and whose favorable mention of the Bitters induced ine also to try them. I must confess that I had an aversion to Patent Medicines, from the "thousand and one" quack "Bitters" whose only aim seems to be to palm off sweetened and drugged liquor upon the community, i in a sly way; and tho tendency of which, I fear, is to i make many a confirmed drunkard. Upon learning that ; yours was really a medicine preparation, I took it with : happy effect. Its action was not upon only the stomach, but upon the nervous system, was prompt and gratifying. I feci that I have derived great and permanent benefit from the uso of a few bottles. Very respectfully yours, W. D. SEIGFRIED, No. 254 Shackamaxon St. From the Rev. Thos. Winter, D. D., Pastor of Roxbor ough Baptist Church. Dr. Jackson:—Dear Sir:—l feel it due to your excel lent preparation, Hoofland German Bitters, to add my tes timony to the deserved reputation it has obtained. I have for years, at times; been troubled with great disorder in my head and nervous system.

I confidently recommend the artiele where I meet with cases similar to my own, and have been assured by many of their good effeete. Respectfully yours, T. Winter, Roxborough, Fa. From Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Reformed Church, Kntztown, Berks County, Pa. Dr. C.
