Cambria Freeman. EnEXSDIKC, PA. TilURSDAT MORKINO, : OCT. 13, 1870. TUESDAY'S ELECTION. GLORY ENOUGHTOR ONE DAY 1 ! The Removal Humbug Exploded K, Xlonnek.r, and tb Entire Xemo-ci-aU Ticket Triumphant. 8PER ELECTED TO CONGRESS. We congratulate the sterling Democra cy of Cambria, as well as all honest and high-minded Republicans in the northern section of the county, on the result of last Tuesday's work. It is indeed a glorious victory I W. Horace Rose, Esq., has been elected to the Assembly by a major ity of about 300 over the apostate, H. D. Woodruff. Capt. Bonackek is the Sheriff elect by a majority ranging from feven to ten hundred. Al! the other can didates on the regular county ticket have been elected by large majorities. R. Milton SrEER, Esq , our candidate for Congress, has defeated Danul J. Moreei.i. in the district by about 125 votes, which is certainly glad tidings to convey to our readers. We confess, how ever, with shame, that Mr. Speer does not owe his election to Cambria county, whoso vote was given to Mr. Morkell by aboot 20 of a majority. We have not time to enlarge on the subject this week, but will do so at length in our next issue. The Victory Complete. We cannot of course give official majorities but we are fully prepared to say that R Milton Speeu is elected to Congress over Cyrus Elder, Harry lioggs, John F. Barnes, Daniel M'Laughlin, Charley Ellis, Lewis Witt, and though last, not least, Daniel J. Morrell, who was the head and front of the removal faction in this county. Mr. Speer will never dishonor the district. He ia a man of undoubted ability, and without blame or suspicion. Gen. II. D. Foster is elected to Con gress in the Westmoreland district by about 500 majority. II K. Sloan, cf Indiana, Democrat, ia elected to the As sembly from Westmoreland and Indiana counties, and it is hoped that his con freres on the ticket are also elected. John Cessna, we are afraid, is re elect ed to Congress from the Bedford county district by a small majority. It may not be bo by the official returns. In the double Senatorial district below us, commencing with Blair and ending with Terry county, the two Democratic candidates for State Senate, Petkiken and Crawford, are both elected. - So far as heard from "everything is lovely und the gooe hangs high." Some two months ago, when Woodruff was still a Democrat, he proclaimed th e following through the paper he edits : BrroRB the Nominations. No good Democrat takes issue with his party after his party's nominations have been made. It Is often a very weak and sometimes a dis honest excuse that the selection of the major ity was made by fraud or force, or that the man honored in it did not deserve the dis tiDction. Cut every Democratic voter can atop all such complaints by- bcivg. on the ground at the delegate elections, when these are held. That is the time for him to show hU face and make his mark. When the tin- ket is formed, good faith demands that it shall be cordially supported by all Demo crats ; and be who takes eround aainst it. does bo clearly in the interest of the Repub-. ncan party, uemocrats, remember ! Fight for yonr favorites before the nomination, and for your faith afterwards. Woodruff 8 succeps could not have made his treachery respectable. How then roust his humiliating defeat affect him ? We leave him to he pity of those to whom he proved a traitor, and to the laceration of his own conscience, if he has any. Gen. Robert E. Lee, the distinguished Foldier and scholar, died at Lexington, Va., on yesterday, the 12lh inst. A few days before his death he had been strick en by paralysis. He was the son of Gen. Harry E. Lee, of Revolutionary fame, and at the time of his death was in the C3d year of his age. For the past five years, or since the surrender of his nrmy to Gen. Grant, in 1865, he has officiated as President of the Uuiversity of Virginia. He died as he had lived, a sincere and truthful Christian gentleman. We will refer to his death more at length next week. The VTar Record. From Monday's World. Important military movements are now being anade, the effect of which cannot fail to be se rious on the Prussian occupation of French territory. The irony of Lyons, 75,000 strong, is moring northward, and the army of the Loire ia also in motion. Marsha! Buzaine makes almost d3ily sallies from Metz The belief gaits ground in London (hat the French have effected a complete militury combination which menaces the invaders both at Paris nud on their communications with Germany. A bat tle took place on Thursday between a part of the army of Lyoiis and the Bed en troops, near Kaon l'Etape, twelve miles from St. Diey. The fight lasted all day, and the-losses were heavy on both aides. At nightfall the French fell back, carrying with them their prisoners and cannon. A despatch from the Duke of Baden claims a victory for bis troops. No doubt now exists that Marshal Bazaine is co operating cordially with the government at Tours, and with Gen. Trochu at Paris. One hundred and fifty American volunteers arrirt.d in Tours ou Sunday, and marched through the streets, carrying the Aqieiican and French flags. They were warmly greeted by the pop ulation. Count von BernstofT, the North German Ambassador at London, has replied to Earl Granville's last note on the subject of English neutrality. Lis tone is veiy severe ''almost menacing towards England, and creates con siderable feeling on the part ol the Londouers. Our correpor.'deitt telegraphs from London that the atmosphere there "is growing most unmistakably warlike." An official decree has been published at Tours postponing the elections to the Constit uent Assembly until France is free from inva sion. A thrilling account is given in the cable despatches of the balloon journeys of M. Gam betta and two Americans from Paris to the French lines. The two balloons lett Paris together at 11 o'clock on Friday morning, and alter many hairbreadth escapes reiched the territory occupied by the French in safety. The voyagers give deeply interesting news ol the condition of Paris. They report every thing quiet and orderly there. Paris caunot be cap tured except by famine. The appearance of the city is about the same as usual. The shops andcates are all open, though they close early in the evening. The Garde Mobile is drilling constantly. Great care is taken to save fcod from waste. There is much horse flesh eaten. Minister Washburne was well, but -in common with other members of the diplomatic corps, was indignant that the Prussians refused to permit olhcial communications to pass through the lines. Many attempts have been made by special correspondents to leave Paris or seuil despatches, but without success. From Tuesday's World. The frequency with which Count von Bis marck has recently caused explanations of the designs of Prussia toward France to be publish ed, betrays anxiety about the military and political situation. His last statement appear ed on Saturday. He solemnly protests that he doea not sanction a restoration of the Bo naparte? against the will of the Fiench nation. He complains that the war must go on because the Fietch are averse to reasonable terms of peace, and that alter Paris ha? been reduced by lamire, hundreds of thousands of people will starve on account of the inability of the Prussians to feed them. General Burnside returned to Paris on Saturday by request of Couut von Bismarck, bearing mv propositions for peace. They were rejected both by M. Jules Favre and the government at Tours. They involved a suspen.'ion of all militarv preparations until after an election has been held for members of the Constituent As-embly. France cannot afford to suspend the arming and drilling of her new legions. General Garibaldi has been appointed to the command of all the volunteers of France. He made another stirring speech at Tours yester day, to a crowd carrying the flags of France and America. Tours is full of volunteers and conscripts from the south of France. M. Gambetta, the escaped Minister of the Interior is said to display great energy ani activity in his department. The foreign ambassadors at Tours are preparing to move to Bordeaux in view of the contemplated change of capital by the French government The agreeable news comes Irom the champagne districts that the Prussians will permit the workmen to labor without molestation through the vintage season anout to benn Marshal Baziine has made three ereat sor ties from Metz, inflicting heavy losses on the uermana, and returning to his fortifications without serious loss to himself. His incessant warfare on the besiegers is beginning to tell on their morale. It is understood that he is acting in concert with the army of Lyons, and that very important events in his quarter are impending, a battle at 1 uory is also expec ted in the invaded districts the inhabitants are generally forming companies of sharpshoot ers. The arrival of a battalion of Franc tire ars at MarseiPes, composed of gentlemen from me soutu oi t ranee ana bearing the black nag. is mentioned. sallooi:s are constantly leaving Paris.

A Strasbourg correspondent of the New York World, writing under date of Sept. 29th, gives the following graphic and in teresting description of the fall of that re nowned but unfortunate city: At last, after weeks spent endeavoring to peer into Strasbourg from available points through powerful field-glasses, the event all anticipated has come to pass, and we are actually within the walls of the celebrated fortress. My last letters informed you of the progress made in the siege, and notified you that resistance was impossible much longer. Two ontposts were then taken and a breach made in the walls. Since then, the offensive operations progressed with giant strides. Since the 24th the bombardment has been terrific and almost incessant, the breach in the walls became large enough to admit an army. It became evident to every body that storming was inevitable in a few hours unless stayed by a capitulation. On Tuesday, the 27th, near 4 o'clock in the afternoon the jdylul sight of a white flag was beheld flying from the Cathedral. This was speedily followed by the same welcome token of surrender from the citadel. A young lieutenant of the Tbirty-.fourtb Regi ment was the first to discover the flag, and the firing instantly ceased. After the steady booming of the artillery a profound silence prevailed. Then general attention was called to the flag by a universal cheer, which rose from one portion of the besieging lines and was.seon caught up and echoed through the entire army. The scene which followed was indescribaoly exciting. Officers sprang to their feet and embraced each other, clasp ing hands. The men followed this example, aud some actually cried with joy. The terms of the capitulation arrranged have al ready been reported. Yebterday I was for tunately enabled to enter the city with a Baden regiment. The sight, which was im pressive aud sad at the same time, was re lieved by the evident joy of the citizens at their release from their terrible condition of suffering and suspense. The commanders ol the two forces, Generals YVerder and Uh rich, met for the first time yesterday after the terms of capitulation had been arranged. The meeting took place just inside the gate, ou the east side. General Uhrich advanced to General YVerder. and with a voice much agitated, said : -I have yielded to an irre sistible force, when further resistance was only a needless sacrifice of lives of brave men. I have the consolation of knowing I have yielded to an honorable enemy' General YVerder, much afl'ected.-placed both hands ou General Uhrich's shoulders and said : You have fought bravely. You will have as much honor from the enemy as you can have from your own countrymen." All arms were surrendered except the officers' side arms. A hasty examination of a portion of the city shows it has not suffered so much as was supposed from the bombardment. The exterior of the Cathedral appears to be much injured, but uot sufficiently so as to prevent its restoration in its original shape. Some fine houses in the Place de la Cathe drale are burned. Here and there the ruins of buildings show the danger to which the city has been exposed. In the vicinity of the Cdthedral on the east side of the city the destruction was the greatest. A singular appbarance was presented by the iuhabitanls busily engaged in removing straw, bags, rags, matresse8, and every conceivable means of stopping the unwelcome visitors from the windows. These defeuces scattered in the streets gave the appearauce of a gen eral removal of the inhabitants. The ruins of tha theatre presented a dismal appear ance. Among the buildings destroyed was the fine public library. I am informed the books were previously removed, or at '.east those of the greatest value, It does not ap pear that there had been much actual suffer ing for want of food, though the means were husbanded with the greatest care. The priucipal cause of anxiety was confinement and waut of good water. Several cases of mortality are reported as the effect of the bombardment, but I am inclined to believe that the accounts are exaggerated. One family, consisting of a father, two daugh ters, two young sons, aod an infant had taRen retuge m the cellar of their house, wtien their residence was htruck with a 6hell and all were destroyed. One old gentleman. a business merchant in Strasbourg for manv years, informed me that bis daughter was killed in the street. The general feeling of tne people is one of great thankfullness for the capitulation. The reports that are srread char?in Gen Uhrich with brutality, are destitute of foun dation. iliB conduct towards the citizens were marked with the greatest humanity and consideration. It was a matter of congrat ulation that no irreparable damage has been done to tbis splendid and interesting city A Tale of Horror. The Ivew Stamp Law. The financial editor of the Philadelphia Ledger, who keeps himself accurately informed in all these matters, gives the following as the require ments oi tne new stamp law : On Saturday the first of October there will be no stamps required on any receipt lor money, wnetner tor a large or small amount. All sight checks drawn on anv bank, banker, or trust company, whatever the amount, will require a two cent stamo uereiuiore j an signt cnectca or money or ders drawn on any private individual, or company, or corporation, not in the banking business, will also rtqnire a two cent stamp, if the amount exceed ten dollars. All notes of haod, and due bills of every description, iur a icss sum man one nundred dollars will require no stamp. All promissory notes amounting to $100 and over are to b stamped as heretofore. And al! mortgages transferred, sold or assigned after October"l, dog. Last week's Saginaw (Michigan) Repub lic says : It has been known for some time that a dirty, wretched old man lived outside the city, about a mile or so, in a filthy little cabin, entirely alone, and that he was a her mit. No one ever went near him, for it was said that he was a magician. His only companion was a skeleton-looking lie came into the citv sometimes to beg, and would piteously implore for money, stating that he was starving. Sometimes he would gather rags or scraps of paper and sell them. Every one supposed him to be wretchedly poor. He had an evil look, and mothers would remove their children when they saw him coming. One day last week, however, a child, the son of Mr. Abraham Skinner, went out alcne to fish in the stream, and happened to wander on until, before he knew it, he came to the hovel of the old man. At first he was frightened, but seeing no one around he plucked up courage and went nearer. Everything was silent. He went and peeped through a craci in the side of the but. He almost screamed at what he saw, for he beheld the old man bendicg over a bag of money that he was counting. There were other bags beside him containing large quantities of money. Mr. Skinner's son was so terrified that when he attempted to move he stumbled. Like lightning the old man rushed out and seized him. "Ila !"he screamed. "I've caught you, have 1? You saw me, did you? Well now you'll pay for it." And before Mr. Skinner's son could say a word the old monster, with an awful laugh, drew out a knife, and (oh, horror!) cut the child'd tongue out. Then he chopped off his fingers. '"Now," he said "now you can go. for you can't tell." The poor boy ran off overcome with agony, and ran to his father's house only to fill them with conster nation. What was the matter with their child 1 He could not speak to tell them ! He could not write for his fingers were cut. Still the poor boy, after efforts of the most horrible pain, managed to fix a pencil be tween his bloody stumps cf fingers, and wrote the awful tale! A party was imme diately organized, and hastened to the mi ser's den. He was at the door as they approached, and fired a revolver six times at them, woundiDg two of the party seriously. Mr. Skinner returned the fire, and the aged villain fell, with a piercing yell, mortally wounded. 'My money! my money!" he moaned, "my beautiful money!" and he crawled to his bags of gold and sank upon them a corpse ! Over $10 000 wns discov ered, which was presented to the Pnorhouee atd other charitable institutions. The event will never be forgotten by our citizens. The child is slowly recovering The miser was buried the day after, and the hut was torn down. Discoveries is New Mexico Aztko Hoiks, Altar Fires, Skeletons. Etc. Advices from Santa Fe state that Governor Amy, the Special Indian Agent for that territory, has found the Canon de Chelly, which was explored for twenty miles. The party found canons whose walls tower per pendicularly to an altitude of from 1,000 to 2.000 feet, the rock strata being as perfect as if laid by the skilled hands of masons, and eutirely symmetrical. Among these ruins were found deseittd ruins of ancient Aztec cities, many of which bear the evidences of having been populous to the extent of many thousands of inhabitant?. In one of these canons, the rocky walls of which rose not less than 2.000 feet frtm the base, and whose summits on either hand inclined to each other, forming part of an arch, there were found high up, hewn out of the rocks, the ruins of Aztec towns of great extent, now tenantless, desolate. In each of these rockyeries there remained in a state of good preservation a house of stone, about twenty feet square, containing one bare and gloomy room, and a single human skeleton. In the centre of the room were the evidences that fire at some time had been used. The only solution of this enigma thus far ventured is that these solitary rooms were the altar places of the Aztec fires ; that from some cause the people at a remote period were constrained to abaudou their homes, but left one faithful sentinel in each instance to keep alive the flame that, according to the Indian traditions of these regions, was to light the way of Montezuma again to his people their hoped for Messiah and their Eternal King. A close examination of many of the ruins proved that the bcllders must have been skilled in the manufacture and use of edged tools, masonry, and other me chanical arts. But who these people were, whence they came, or whither they are cone. is now, probably, one of the mysteries to remain eternally unsolved. Some of the ruins are reported to be stone buildings seven or eight Btories in height, being reach ed by ladders planted against the walla Round-bouses, twenty feet in diameter, built in the most substantial manner of cut stone, and plastered inside, were also found in exl cellent preservation. Astonishing, discover ies have been made of gold and silver regions richer than yet known on this continent. They are supposed by well-informed persons to be the East mine, of which tradition has handed down the most marvelous tales, and the mines themselves discover unmistakable evidences of having been successfully worked ages ago.

Mr. Eugene Ellis yesterday exhibited to us a striped worm or caterpillar, about an inch in length, whose bodywas covered with little white cocoons, oval in shape, and about as largo as white mustard seeds. From these cocoons gnats or small flies were continually batched out and had been for the two cr three days that Mr. Ellis bad kept the caterpillar. A number of them were crawling on the sides of the tombler in which it was confined. Our theory is that a fly cf somo sort had deposi ted these eggs on the caterpillar, the warmth of whose body aided in hatching them.

Accounts continue to come in of the destruction of property and the loss of life in the lower valley of Virginia, and are truly heartrend ing. At Castleman Ferry, Jefferson county, the destruction is complete. All the houses sixteen in number were driven from their moorings by the surging waves, and the main building of a hotel and storehouse alone are left to mark the spot. The Bessy Company lose heavily, the whole of the tres tle work and all the bridges from Harper's Ferry to Shenandoah City being swept away. It is supposed that it will take at least a month to repair damages and resume the running of the trains on the Winchester branch to Harper's Ferry. The mail train now rnns to Hailtown, and mails and pass engers are transported to and from that point and the ferry in coaches and wagons. Every buildiug from Shenandoah City to Hall's Works is gone, and from Hill's Works to th? old Shenandoah Bridge but few houses are standing, the whole number destroyed in the vicinity amounting to forty or fir ty. John P. Lewis was drowned and bis house near the mill at Rockford was swept awav. The steam saw mill of George M. Eichelber ger, near the Clark line, was also nwept away. Joshua Myers' barn and all his buildings, except one, were destroyed. Johnson's large woolen factory, at the mouth of Builskin Run. was submerged to the sec ond story.

The most essential portion cf tne macnine consista ot a bellow rockine lever, or beam, resembling the walking ueam oi a steamboat engine, except that i is bent at oblique angles in several nlaces Inside this are placed balls partially filled with mercury. The balls once set in motion roll down the interior of the hollow beam in a vain search for a permanent level, but no sooner do they reach the lower end than the mercury in the spokes of the main whee overcome their weight, the beam is forced up, and the balls are again impelled in their onward rush, only to be caught by the valve that is lorced open Irom without, aud pushed into the upper arm of the beam or lever, ready to be hustled along their never-ending route.

A Wild Cat Takes a Child out op tts cradle. Ud lhnrsday of last week. wild cat entered the house of Mr. Elliott Walters, who resides at Wilson's mill, on Toby Creek, in Knox township, about seven miles north of thia place, and took a child Irom the cradle, and was about to cor mence devouring it when it was driven away. The parents had gone out to gather in potatoes from a lot and left the baby wrapped up, sleeping in its cradle. A little girl was sent in after they had been absent a short time, to see . about the child, and when 6he opened the door, was horrified to see a large wild cat, with the iufant, behind the stove. The little girl was crying pit eously. and m a short time would doubtless nave neen killed aud devoured by the sav age beast. On the alarm being given the wild cat escaped through the window, and not since been seen Ia that neighborhood. Clarion Democrat. A Singular Suicide. At Half Moon Saratoga county, N. Y., a boy named Nor man Shaw, aged about thirteen years, did something to displease his mother, who after correcting him, said that she would in form his father of his conduct. Upon this tne boy went and got the Bible, picked out a text from which he said he wanted his funeral sermon preached, and, tellin her that she would never see him again,went out. This occurred about ten o'clock, and the mother, deeming it jme foolith threat went on with her work.
