Our Flag Forever
"I know of no mode in which a loyal citi
zen may so well demonstrate his devotion to
his country as by sustaining the Flag, the
Constitution and the Union, under all circum
stances, and ENDER EVERY ADMINISTRATION,
REGARDLESS OF PARTY POLITICS, AGAINST ALL
ASSAILANTS, AT DOME AND ABROAD."

Union County Ticket,
Agreeably to a call made for a Un-
ion Convention to be held in nunting
don on Tuesday, September 0,1802, for
the purpose of taking into considera
tion the propriety of nominating a
Union County ticket to l supported
by all loyal men, who ignore party and
wish to unite in 'one common cause,
the support and defence of our coun
try; delegates from the several town
ships and boroughs met at the time
and place specified, and nominated the
following ticket :

DAVID BLACK.
The following card from. Mr. DAVID
BLACK, speaks for itself. We may be
permitted to add, that it is our opin
ion that Mr. Black has done just what
every other honest mau would do un
der similar circumstances.
IlusTiNcmoN, Oct. 8, 1362
MR. LEWIS :-I was nominated for
the office of Sheriff by the Union Con
vention. I• approved of that Conven
tion, and was willing my name might
bo used to promote its objects. The
indications of a combination of the ex
treme men of both parties to defeat all
those on the Union Ticket, are now,
however, such as to satisfy me that
my remaining a candidate might fur
ther these ends, I am unwilling even
to run the risk of aiding them, and as
I was nominated without solicitation,
I can, as I do, without regret, decline
being any longer a candidate.

DAVI D . BLACK
Yours, Sze7,
DECLINATION.
Mn. LEWlS:—Though I was in fa
vor of the nomination of a Union Tick
et, I had no desire to be one of the
nominee's, I therefore request you to
withdraw my name. _ _ _
HENRY WILSON.
Oneida township, Oct. 6, 1862.
The Union Ticket.
We shall vote for what remains of
the Union County Ticket, because they
are the nominees of the Union County
Convention, and are good men, and
we ask every Union Democrat in the
county, who has been opposed to strict
old party nominations, to give the
ticket a warm support.
The Next Sheriff.
Taxes and costs are always hard to
pay. There will be a great many of
them to pay in the next few years,
and every man should do what he
can to keep them as low as possible.
The best way we know to get up costs
to the highest possible figures, will be
for the people of this county to be de
ceived into electing David Caldwell
Sheriff. They have had some little
experience of him in that line, but it
will be tenfold worse, if ever the afflic
tion should befall the unfortunate debt
ors of this county, of having execu
tions or writs in hi's hands. While he
was in the Prothonotary's office the
complaints made against him for tax
ing exorbitant fees were loud and nu
merous. We are informed the records
will show the fact, that in the terms
of Major Steel, Mr. Cromer and M. F.
Campbell, indeed under all his prede
cessors, and since his time under Mr.
Wagoner, Sl 224 has been the recog
nised and universally received costs
upon entering a judgement, but that
during Caldwell's term he charged and
received for the same service $1,621.
If you wish to have costs doubled upon
you, or have constant quarrels over
the attempts to increase them, vote
for Caldwell.
GEORGE W. JOHNSTON.
This gentleman is now the only can
didate in the field in opposition to Da
vid Cald well. Every man should vote
for one or the other. We shall voto
for Johnston, because we believe him
to be the best man—the best man for
the important position of Sheriff of
Huntingdon county—and we hope ho
may be elected.
J. Mut,En Cr:LANEY, of Barrec, a mem
ber of Capt. Miles' company, died in
camp on the Potomac, on Thursday
last. We learn he died of a disease of
the throat. His body will be brought
home to-day or to-morrow by his broth
er.
The "Democratic" State Ticket.
The papers of the State supporting
the so-called Democratic State Ticket,
are just now bending their whole en
orgies to the defence of the political
character of the traitor Frank W.
Hughes, Chairman of the " Democrat
ic "State Central Committee. It must
be remembered that this same Hughes
was a prominent spirit in the Charles
ton and Baltimore Conventions—that
he acted boldly with the Disunionists
of 'the South in disorganizing the De
mocratic party ; and finally, after with
drawing from the National organiza
tion, he united with Jeff Davis, Yancey,
Buchanan & Co., in the support of the
traitor Breckinridge. The object the
Hughes papers have in view in defend
ing his political character is to make
votes for the State Ticket nominated
by the same Convention that placed
him at the head of the party by ma
king him Chairman of the State Com
mittee. Every vote, therefore, given
for the State Ticket—Slenker and
Barr—will be counted as an endorse
ment of "Hughes' conduct as a Demo
crat, and will be hailed by the South
ern traitors as an endorsement of their
conduct, for they know that Hughes
to-day is where he has always been,
with the traitors of the South.
-STEPIIEN
We do not intend to "go it blind."
We intend that our vote shall count
one against endorsing the Hughes Dem
ocracy of this State. We are not wil
ling that our vote shall be " aid and
comfort" for the traitors of the North
or the traitors of the South. We shall
vote for Thomas E. Cochran, for Audi
tor-General, and William S. Ross, for
Surveyor-General the one_ a loyal
Republican, the other a loyal Demo
ocrat.
The Bargain Between the Journal
and Monitor.
We consider it a duty to call atten
tion to the very evident combination
that has been effected between the
Journal and the Jr.ntitor to elect a por
tion of the straight-out Democratic
ticket.
The Republican County Committee
met in this place on the 27th Sept.—
A proposition was made to interrogate
such of the candidates as had been
nominated by the Union County Con
vention, as to whether they accepted
the nomination, but it was voted down.
Dissatisfied with the action, Nash and
Whittaker as editors of the Journal, ad
dressed letters to Messrs. Benedict
and Corbin, and perhaps to others,
putting to them the interrogatories
which the committee had refused to
put, and giving them plainly to under
stand that the Journal would not keep
up the name of any candidate who ac
cepted the Union nomination. Mr.
Corbin answered, saying be accepted
the nomination of both Conventions.—
We do not know whether Mr. Bene
dict answered or not! Whatis the re
sult? They did not publish their let
ter and interrogatories, and Mr. Cor
bin's answer, but the next number
of their paper comes out with an edi
torial electioneering article in favor of
R. Milton Speer, the regular nominee
of what the Journal styles the Brook
inridge Democracy, for District At
torney. A pretty high handled meas
ure this we should think, for the Jour
nal, to set at defiance the action of its
own County Convention, and strike
down the nominee of its own conven
tion, because he also accepted a union
nothination. But they go fitrther.—
They also publish the card of John
Williamson as an independent candi
date for the Legislature, and it is well
understood, are giving him their sup
port. It is manifest to every ono that
this arrangement suits the Monitor ex
actly. Mr. Speer is ono of its owners
and editors. By running Mr. William
son, the Journal hopes to take votes
enough from Mr. Benedict to elect,Mr.
Bell, and that will suit the Monitor.—
Then, if they can succeed in holding
the Republicans and Democrats away
from Mr. Black, they can elect either
Johnston or Caldwell, and as they are
in the fraternizing mood, they hope to
have the Sheriff's printing made all
right between them.
A further proof of this programme
is, that John W. pattern, a dissatisfied
member of the Republican County
Committee, is industriously at work,
electioneering for Mr. Speer, and
against Mr Corbin. If evidence is
wanted of this, we believe it can be
brought up from Shirleyshurg in his
own handwriting.
So apparent has this scheme become,
that Mr. Black, the Union candidate
for Sheriff, has declined, determined
that if the Journal men have made up
their minds to go the whole Breckin
ridge ticket, they shall not have him
for a seape-goat, but must face the
music directly.
It now remains for the people to
say whether they will permit this
scheme to succeed. The Monitor
wants its candidates elected. The
Journal works to accomplish their
election, by opposing every man nom
inated by the Union Convention.—
Surely such a conspiracy cannot be
endorsed by the public at the polls.—
We have done our duty in exposing it
and we shall see.
ROBERT KING has received a new
stock of Cloths, Cassimeres, Plain and
Fancy Vestings, &c. Encourage home
first—and we believe Robert can give
you an article of goods, and as neat a
lit as you can desire.
Our Next Congressman.
MR. EDITOR :—WIIO Shall represent
us in the next Congress? The Globe
circulates extensively all over the dis
trict, and as it does not appear to be
long to either party, but independent
in its opinions and sentiments, many
voters will, on this occasion, be dis
posed to listen favorably to what it
may have to say upon the subject.—
For, Mr. Editor, it is a fact, that at
the coining election there aro many
voters who will, like Sohn Scott, Esq.,
"know no party," but cast their votes
for the men whom they consider to be
the best and most useful 'to the dis
trict. Ido not stop to argue the ques
tion, whether it is right or expedient
to vote a mixed ticket, but take the
fact as I know it to be, that party lines
will not hold the voters this fall.—
Such being the case, then, and no
doubt existing as to the loyalty of ei
ther candidate, some will be attracted
by the eminent legal ability and elo
quence of the ono; and others by the
strong mind, the sound common sense
business qualifications of the other. I
confess, for my part, a partiality for
the latter style of men to represent us.
They seem nearer to us in thought,
feeling and interest. We call approach
them and make known our wishes
without hesitation or fear, for they are
one of ourselves and can appreciate our
wants and necessities.
Kennedy Moorehead is ono of this
class of Representatives. lie never
made a speech:in his life, has represen
ted Alleghany county two terms, and
is nominated for the third. His con
stituents, like ourselves, are plain,
bard-working men, and they are satis
fied that he represents them faithfully.
In fact, it is said that he has accom
plished:more for his district, and at the
same time, more for the nation, than
many of your more highly'educated or
brilliant representatives have been
able or willing to do. Now, the peo
ple of this district have the opportunity
at the coming election of voting for a
man of this kind; and so flu as this
section is concerned, they are going to
do it, regardless of denunciations by
partizans. They are satisfied that the
country will be at least safe in such
hands, and, the district better cared for
than it has been.
Now, I have not named either can
didate; it is unnecessary. We would
like to have your views, for we think
you intend advocating honestly the in
terests of the District, and being under
no obligation to either political party,
you are at liberty to support with your
paper the candidate who will best re
present us.
Wo will listen favorably to what you
may have to say upon the, subjett, and
have much confidence in your being
with the People—the party that will
best sustain your paper in future.
UNION.
Franklin township, Sep. 30, 1802.
OUR ANSWER,
A correspondent of character and
intelligence sends us the above com
munication, headed "Our Next Con
gressman." lie is not a partisan, nor
an enthusiast in any sense, but a clear
headed, sagacious business man. Ile
gives his views of this subject and lie
asks ours. He is entitled to a respect•
ful answer, and we give it. We have
neither harsh words nor fulsome praise
for either of the candidates. IVe be
lieve they are both loyal men. "Whose
election will best aid in crushing the
rebellion and restoring the Govern
ment ?" This is the only question we
permit to influence us in deciding
whom wo will support. The rebellion
must be crushed. They would both
give their energies for that purpose.—
The Government now disordered, must
be restored. Who would be most use
ful and effective when we reach that
point? The record constrains us to say
that Mr. Blair has been an impracti
cable ultraist. He voted for the Blake
resolution at a time when it could ac
complish nothing but evil. While ad
justment was desirable and desired by
the conservative men of all parties, he
voted with the revolutionists North
and South, against any attempts at
accomplishing it. It was well under
stood that his voice was with Sumner,
Stevens and Lovejoy in denouncing
the President and Gen. McClellan, be
cause they too would not become poli
tical destructionists. Such men can no
longer be - useful in Congress. The
Country wants sober reason in council.
It wants the rebellion crushed by force
of arms, whether slavery is or is not
crushed in the operation ; but then
that done, it wants a government of
law, not of passion. These wants can
not be received with mem in Congress
who are willing to sacrifice Presidents,
Commanders, and Constitutions to one
fanatical idea.
While Mr. McAllister has been nom
inated by the Democratic party, we
are satisfied that he is not responsible
for the sins of its present organiza
tion, that ho is not tainted with the
heresies of its leaders, but that ho is
imbued with the sentiments of its hon
est musses, and is an unconditional
loyal Union man, with no impractica
ble fanaticism in him. If we did not
believe this, and that for these reasons
he would in the next Congress be a
more useful member than Mr. Blair,
we would not give him our vote.
These are our honestly entertained
views, and we give them for what
they are worth, leaving each voter to
determine this question for himself.

EME
James Buchanan is again conspic
uous in politics in Lancaster county,
as lie is, no doubt, all over the State
where he may have an influence with
men of doubtful loyalty. Some time
since he contributed one hundred dol
lars towards the bounty fund of his
county; since then he has contributed
one thousand dollars to defeat the
Union Ticket of his county, upon
which we find the name of Hon. Benj.
Champneys, for the Legislature, one
of the most prominent loyal Democrats
in the State. If Buchanan has any
friends he desires to see placed in
prominent positions,. he should have
the good sense to keep on the back
ground, for he no longer has any in
fluence with the loyal Democrats.—
Until tho Democratic organization of
this State, frees itself of the influence
of James Buchanan, Hughes, Vallan
digham & Co., it must stink in the nos
trils of every truly honest Union man.
A misrAKl: occurred last week that
exposed the true object of the person
making the mistake. The Monitor of
fice had printed tickets for John Wil
liamson,—John, just before taking the
ears for Petersburg, stepped into the
'onitor office and picking up a bundle
of what he supposed to he his tickets,
put them in his pocket. Arriving at
Petersburg lie commenced to give out
the tickets as his own, when he was
informed that he was distributing tick
ets for Samuel 11. Bell instead of tick
ets for John Williamson. Of course
this nmista/c of Mr. Williamson ex
posed the bargain and sale that exists
to defeat Mr. Benedict.
WE have been informed that David
Caldwell has said that David Black
made every effort to secure the nom
ination for Sheriff in the "Democratic"
Convention. Mr. Black did not ask
for a nomination from that or any oth
er convention, but accepted the Union
nomination at the earnest solicitation
of his friends. David Caldwell will not
make many votes by asserting a false
hood to make it appear that Mr. Black
is as much of an olliee-seeker as he . is
himself. David Caldwell has been ly
ing around loose for two years waiting
for another opportunity to serve the
dear people. We can't support a /ow;
politician.
One Fact the Honest People ;Should
Remeider.--At the time of the great
horse speculation in this county, when
every honest man was astounded at
the darling rascality of some of the
men who live here, and by others who
were sent here, Mr. Benedict raised
his voice, and was heard at Washing
ton, against the plundering of the trea
sury. For interfering against the
thieves then, he was threatened by
them and promised their hostility at
every opportunity offering. Mr. Ben
edict is now the Union eanditate for
the Legislature, and we find alt the
Government horse contractors who
felt hurt by the exposures of Mr. Bene
dict, now uniting their strength against
him and for no other reason than that
he made an effort to cheek them in
their rascality. The honest men of the
county should not allow Mr. Benedict
to be stricken down by bold bad men
for daring to do his duty to this com
munity and to his country.
WE are glad to learn that Nicholas
Decker, of tho Bible Company, who
was reported in our last issue as
among the missing, has been found.—
Ile was left on the field with ono leg
badly broken. Tho next day he was
picked up and taken to a private house
in the neighborhood of the battle-field
where he was, the last heard of him.—
It was thought by the surgeon in at
tendance', that the leg would have to
be amputated above the knee.
TUE remains of David Lamp, aged
19 years, member of Capt. McCabe's
company, 28th Regiment, who was
killed in the battle on the 17th, was
recove-cd and brought home on Thurs
day last and interred on Friday in the
Cemetery in this place.

THE LECTURE.—We were forcibly ,
struck by the lecture of Mr. Miles on
Saturday evening last, and feel satis
fied, as we always have been, that
" united we stand, and divided we
fall." If parties are to rule, we fall;
but if the Government, is permitted to
rule, we stand. Mr. Miles' lecture
will be found in our columns this is
sue, and we recommend a perusal by
all our readers.

THE WAR NEWS.
_-
From Gen. MeOlellan's Army.
There has been no movement on the
Potomac. Late arrivals from General
M'Clellan's headquarters report every
thing quiet in that vicinity. They say
that, from certain mysterious move
ments among the camps, some great
manoeuvre was anticipted. The troops
were receiving outfits of clothing, and
many paymasters were in the camps,
squaring up their various accounts.
President Lincoln had been three
or four days with the the army, view
ing the different divisions, and returned
to Washington on Sunday. Harper's
Ferry Bridge was completed last week.
A movement into 'Virginia may be
expected this week. Our troops are
in excellent spirits.
A Victory in Missouri,
Official information has been received
in Washington that the rebels under
Van Dorn, Price and Lovell, on Sat
urday attacked our forces at Corinth,
but were defeated with great slaugh
ter, and retreated, leaving their dead
and wounded on the field of battle.
THE WAR IN KENTUCKY
A Portsmouth, Ohio, despatch to
Gov. Robinson says that Gen. Morgan,
with 1,000 rebels, attacked the Carter
county 'HOMO Guards on Friday, near
Olive Hill. After several hours' se
vere skirmishing,Morgan was repulsed,
and several aids men killed. Morgan
then retreated towards the Licking
river, burning thirty-five houses on-his
way. At night Morgan returned to
Olive Hill. Meanwhile, Col. Seifert
went to Portsmouth, and brought up
500 of the 117th Ohio.
Bardstown adVICOS say- that the rob - -
els have from 30,000 to 35,000 men
within a circle of eight miles in diame
ter around Bardstown. Our central
advance was, on Saturday, four miles
from Bardstown. They had been skir
mishing and driving the rebels before
them fin• three days. We had cap
tured 000 prisoners.
The Victory at Corinth.
The tide seems to have fairly turned
at the West. Morgan has escaped,
Buell is driving Bragg out of Kentucky,
and Rosecran's partial victory at Tulsa
has been followed up by a complete
one at Corinth. it appears that a reb
el army of about 40,000 men, comman
ded by Generals Price, Van Dorn and
Lovell, attacked General Rosecran's
position at Corinth, on Saturday morn
ing last. Simultaneous attacks were
made upon our right, centre and left,
and our troops gave way at the centre,
as the rebels forced their way into the
heart of the town. But they were
driven out faster than they came in,
and by half-past eleven o'clock their
whole army was in full retreat leaving
behind from 700 to 1,000 prisoners
unwounded, and a great many wound
ed. Their loss was very heavy, as
was ours also. On Saturday after
noon, General Hurlbut crossed the
Ilatehie river to cut off Price's retreat,
and the next morning General Rose
crane went in pursuit. We may ex
pect at any moment to receive news
of the result of the subsequent opera
tions, which, we are confident, will be
most favorable to our arms. General
Boseerans is proving himself the real
fighting man of the West, and the na
tion owes him a debt of gratitude.
The Address of the Governors,
WAsurxoros, October 2.—The fol
lowing is the address of the Governors
of the loyal States to the President,
adopted at the meeting hold at Altoo
na, Pa., to take measures for the more
active support of the Government, on
the 22d day of September, 1862 :
After nearly one year and a half
spent in the contest with an armed
and gigantic rebellion against the na
tional Government of the United
States, the duty and purpose of the
loyal Slates and people continues and
must always remain as they were at
its origin—namely, to restore and per
petuate the authority of this Govern
ment and the life of the nation, no
matter what consequences are involv
ed in our fidelity. Nevertheless, this
work of restoring the Republic, pre
serving the institutions of Democratic
origin, and
. justifying the hopes and
toils of our fathers, shall not fitil to be
performed, and we pledge without
hesitatNn, to the President of the
United States, the most loyal and cor
dial support, hereafter as heretofore,
in the exercise of the functions of his
great office.
We recognize in him the Chief Ex:
ecutive Magistrate of tho nation, the
Commander-in-Chief of the army and
navy of the United States, their 're
sponsible and constitutional head,
whose rightful authority and power,
as well as the constitutional powers of
Congress, must be rigorously and reli
giously guarded and preserved, as the
condition on which all of our form of
Government and the constitutional
rights and liberties of the people them
selves can be saved from the wreck of
anarchy or from the rule of despotism.
In submission to the laws which may
have been or which may be duly enac
ted, and to the,,lawful orders of the
President, co-operating always in our,
own spheres in the National Govern
ment, we mean to continue in the most
rigorous exorcise of all our lawful and
proper powers, contending against
treason, rebellion, and the public ene
mies, and whether in public life or
private station; supporting the arms of
the Union until its cause than conquer
—until final victory shall porch upon
its standard, or the rebel foe shall
yield a dutiful, rightful, and uneondi
tional submission; and impressed in
the conviction that an army of reserve
ought, until the war shall end, to •be
constantly kept on foot, to be raised,
armed, equipped, and trained at home,
and ready for emergencies, we respect
fully ask the President to call for such
a force of volunteers for one year's
1)42 817
MEE
service, of not less than one hundred
thousand in the aggregate, the quota
of each State to be raised after it shall
have filled its quota of the requisitions
already- made, both for volunteers and
militia.
We believe that this would be a
measure of utilitary prudence, while
it would greatly promote the military
education of the people. We hail, in
the heartfelt gratitude of encouraged
hope, the proclamation of the Presi
dent, issued on the 22d instant, declar
ing emancipated from their bondage,
all persons held to service or labor as
slaves in the rebel States, whose rebel
lion shall last until the first day of
January next ensuing. The right of
any person to retain authority to com
pel any portion of the subjects of the
National Government to rebel against
it, or to maintain its enemies, implies
in those who are allowed possession of
such authority, the right to rebel them
selves,
and therefore the right to es
tablish martial law or military govern
ment in a State or Territory in rebel
lion, implies the right and the duty of
the Government to liberate the minds
of all mon living therein by appropri
ate proclamations, and assurances of
protection, in order that all who are
capable, intellectually and morally, of
loyalty and obedience, may not be
forced into treason, the willing tools of
rebellious traitors. To have continued
indefinitely the most efficient cause,
support, and stay of the rebellion
would have been, in our judgment, un
just to the loyal people, whose treas
ure and lives are made a willing sacri
fice on the altar of patriotism—would
have discriminated against the wife
who is compelled to surrender her hits
band—against the parent who is to
surrender his child to the hardships of
the camp and the perils of battle. If
the rebel •masters were permitted to
retain their slaves, it would have been
a final decision alike against humani
ty. justice, the rights and dignity of
the Government, and against a sound
and wise national policy. The deci
sion of the President to strike at the
root of the rebellion, will lend new
vigor to the efforts, and new life and
hope to the hearts of the people.
Cordially tendering to the President,
our respectful assurances of personal
and official confidence, we trust and
believe that the policy now inaugerat
ed will bo crowned with success—will
give speedy and triumphant victories
over our enemies, and secure to the
nation and this people the blessing
and favor of .:11mighty God. We be
lieve that the blood of the heroes who
have already fallen, and those who
may yet give their lives to their coun
try, will not have been shed in vain.
The splendid valor of our soldiers,
their patient endurance, their manly
patriotism, and their devotion to duty,
demand from us, and from all their
countrymen, the homage of the sincer
est gratitude, and the pledge of our
constant reinforcement and support.—
A just regard for these brave men
whom we have contributed to place
hi the field, and for the importance of
the duties which may lawfully
pertain to us hereafter, has called
us into friendly conference, and
now presenting to our National
Magistrate this conclusion of our de
liberations, we devote ourselves to our
country's service, and we will surround
the President iu our constant support,
trusting that the fidelity and zeal of
the loyal States and people, will al
ways assure him that he will be con
stantly maintained in pursuing with
vigor this war for the preservation of
the national life and the hopes of hu
manity.

The Valor of Pennsylvania Hand=
somely Acknowledged,
Letter from Major General M'Clellan to
Govornor Curtin
The following letter will explain it
self. As part of the history of the re
bellion, it deserves to be printed wher
ever there is a man who,:went forth at
the summons of Gov. Curtin to rally
on the - border for the defence of the
Commonwealth from invasion.. As an
acknowledgment from one of the com
manding Major Generals of the army,
this letter will have a double circa
and influence. First, it will have the
influence of cheering those who en
gaged in the first uprising to respond
again, should danger once more threat
en this state; and second, it will have
the affect of silencing those who have
been ridiculing the great energy of his
Excellency, and who are now striving
to show that there was no necessity
for the demonstration which is thus
handsomely acknowledged:
HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF POTOMAC,
SITARDSBURO, Sept. 27th, 1862.
Govrasou : I beg to at-ail myself of
almost the first moment of leisure I
have had since the recent battles, to
tender to you my thanks for your wise
and energetic action in calling out the
militia of Pennsylvania for its defence,
when threatened by a nun - tarot's and
victorious army of the enemy. For
tunately circumstances rendered it
impossible for the enemy to set foot
upon the soil of Pennsylvania. but the
moral support rendered to my army
by your action was none the less
mighty. In the name of my army
and for myself, I again tender to you
our acknowledgments for your patri
otic course; the manner in which the
people of Pennsylvania responded to
your call and hastened to the defence
of their frontier, no doubt exercised a
great influence upon the enemy.
I am, very respectfully,
and sincerely yours,
GEO. B. IIIeCLELLAN.
.illaj. @en. U. S. A.
His Excellency, A. G. Curtin, Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania.

MARRIED,
On Sept. 23d, by Rev. Jas. Brads,
Rev. G. PARItING GP.lll', of the East
Baltimore Conference, and Miss MARY
llcAor, of lluntingdon,
On Sept. 30th, by the same,. Mr.
Wm. SPAULDING, of Petersburg, Hunt
ingdon CO., and Miss CAUOLINP TAY-
Loll, of Lewistown, Mifflin co., Pa.
On the 22nd of Sept., in Hunting-;
don, Mrs. JANE DORLANP, in the 76th
year of her age.
Mrs. Dorland was born in Ireland,
and came with her parents to this
country, when she was quite young,
For many years her home was in
Huntingdon, where she died, and
where the influence of her Christian
example will
the
be felt. She was a
member of the Presbyterian Church
for many years, and adorned her pro
fession by an uniform christian life.—
As she grew in years, she grew in
grace. She loved the sanctuary, and
exhibited her attachment to it, by her
faithful attendance on its services, and
her labors for its prosperity. She loved
her neighbors, and rejoiced with them
in their joy, and sympathized with
them in their sorrow. Her heart was
full of kindness, and her hands were
full of charitable deeds. No ono was
more interested, or active in providing
for the wants of our sick and wounded
soldiers. But she rests from her la
bors. A large circle of relatives and
friends mourn her loss, and will cher
ish her memory; bet their loss is her
gain, for she has gone home to Heav
en.
Suddenly, on the 26th tlt., Num-
MER WATERS, youngest son of Lee T,,
and Eliza Wilson, ofMasseysburg, Hun
tingdon county, aged 6 years and 9
months.
How true it is that " man cometh
forth like a flower and is cut down."—
Little Plummer was a bud of unusual
promise and beauty—too lovely to
grow upon the sterile soil of earth, ex
posed to its chilly blasts. God has
transplanted him to bloom in Para
dise, where the frost of death nor the
blight of sin can never come.

Among the many brave who have
&lien on the field of battle, we record,
with sorrow, the-name of jOHN S. Mc-
Coy, of MeConnolstown, member of
the Huntingdon Bible Company, one
hundred and twenty-fifth regiMent P.
V., who fell at the battle of Antietam,
on Wednesday, the 17th inst., in the
20th year of his age. He was a noble
youth, the hope and pride of his fami
ly. He had a truly amiable disposi
tion, and his deportment and eonver
satio» gave hopeful evidence that he
was a child of God. With a strong
and vigorous intellect, and energy
beaming from his eye, he seemed des
tined to adorn at no distant day the
walks of science, and to bless his ago.
He loved the Bible, and was one of
the originators, and a member of the
31cConnelstown Bible Class.
When duty called him tone field of
conflict in defence of liberty, he chose
for his companions those who revered
the Bible, and entered acompany—all
honor to it—that, fearless of the
world's opinion, makes the daily read
ing of the sacred scriptures by •each
member of the company as obligatory,
as the performance of the daily drill.)
• To his afflicted parents and sorrow
ing companions, let this be their conso
lation ; that he was a Christian youth,
and that ho died as the noble and
brave would wish to die, on the bat
tle-field in defence of humanfrecdom.
Fadeless be his memory. S.
