the time destroyed, and that there are and can
be but two parties—one for the Union—the
,other against it ; feeling it to be the duty of
:all loyal citizens to lend their cordial and un
,qualified support to the General Government
tin its efforts to suppress the present unholy
rebellion, through which alone lasting peace
and permanent security can be obtained ;

Mr. Lewis moved that the report be
accepted and laid over till the next
meeting, which was carried.
H. Bucher• Swoope, Esq., being in
town upon business, and present at the
meeting, was wiled upon to address
the meeting. Ho commenced by say
ing that he knew the people of this
,county to be loyal—that this county
has already given a thousand troops
to the Government for its defence.—
There are, however, some men who
bay these associations are unnecessary.
Such men are traitors at heart, and
merit as much desecration as Benedict
Arnold and Aaron Burr. That miser
able wretch, Vallandigham, professes
to be loyal as many other "copper
heads" who should be hung up as
traitors. They boldly- oppose the
conscription raw. They say they are
for the country, but they are opposed
to the Government. These associa
tions are necessary to correct these
treasonable sentiments. There is noth
ing more disheartening to the 'soldier
in the camp or to the soldier in the
field, than the fact that there aro per
sons at home who fold their arms and
coldly look on, and some even lIQW do
everything in their power to emblir
fass their successful movements. M.
,SWoope then spoke at some length up
.on the, duty of pi ; tixens in this trying
time, in which he said it was the du
ty of every citizen to do all that he
could for his country—that ho should
ive all he has, even his life, for the
-efenee of his country.
On motion, the thanks of the meet
ing were tendered to 11. Bucher
Swoope, Esq., for his able and patriot
ic speech.
J. G. Miles, Esq., was called upon
to address the meeting. He said if
there ever was a time when all loyal
men should unite in a bond of eternal
union for the preservation of our glo
rious Government, it is now, when
vandal bands are laid upon it toode
stroy it.' In the South no man is per-
Mitted to say a word against their in
famous treason. Any man who would
utter such a word would find himself
shut up in a dungeon or dangling at
the end of a rope. He then spoke of
the traitors at the North, and said
they had infinitely better go to Dixie,
and shoulder the musket, than, stay
here to oppose every effort of the Gov
ernment to crush the rebellion—and
complain at the expense of the war,
and endeavor to alarm the country on
that account. Such are the " copper-
heads " of the North.
Mr. Miles contended that the States
rights doctrines—the very same doc
trine which the Democratic State Con
vention in Connecticut endorsed and
adopted—was the cause of this war.—
According to that doctrine, a State
may :It any time throw itself upon its
sovereignty, and the U. S. Govern
ment has no authority or jurisdiction
over it. South Carolina attempted
this when she passed her nullification
act, but the firmness of Gen. 'Jackson
drove them from it. And if Jas. Bu
chanan bad had the same kind of
nerve, the country could have been
saved in 1861, and this blood and
destruction of property prevented.
On motion, the vote postponing the
Report of the Committee on the Con
stitution, was reconsidered,
Whereupon, it was moved that the
Constitution" and By-Laws be adopted
as a whole, which was carried unani
mously.
The Constitution and By-Laws were
then signed by a number of gentle
men, and the •meeting adjourned to
meet on Saturday evening the 14th.
HUNTINGDON, March 14, 1563.

and patriotic manner.

ed were continued.
During. the evening a number of
loyal men joined the League.
Adjourned, to meet on Saturday eve
ning, pst inst.
A Remedy for Small Pox.—The Ger
man Reformed Messenger has received
a letter from a friend in China, in
which it is stated a great discovery is
reported to have been recently made
by a Surgeon in the English army in
China in the way of an effectual cure
for small pox. The mode of treat
ment is as follows :—When the preced
ing feer is at its heighth and just
before the eruption appears, the chest
is rubbed with crater) oil and tartiirie
ointment. This causes the whole of
the eruption to appear on that part of
the body, to the relief of the rest. It
also secures a full and complete erup
tion, and thus prevents the disease
from attacking the internal organs.—
This is said to be now the established
mode of treatment in the English army
in China by general orders, and is re
gardod as a perfect success.
Local Items.
Thrown from his horse.—On last
Saturday morning Mr. Abraham Lewis
of Mount Union, started (loin home on
horse back. After the Baltimore Ex-•
press train passed the Railroad cross
ing below the station, he was found
by Mr. :Nicholas Shaffer, on the road
side in an insensible condition with
his head badly cut and the one side
paralysed; the saddle was lying near
him with the girth broken. Ile was
Laken home and died on Monday morn
ing at 2 o'clock.
—Our town was disgraced last
Thursday by the arrival from Balti
more and Pittsburg of a gang of some
thirty men who selected this point to
meet at for the purpose of fighting
their dogs. Sheriff Johnston summon
ed a posse of our citizens, and gave
the blackguards and thieves notice
that they could not fight their dogs in
the neighborhood. The parties left in
the evening and night trains. It was
generally believed Unita Tau fi g ht was
also in the programme.
—Lieutenant P. Y. McDonald, of
Company D, 40th Regt., gave us a call
on Friday last. Ife will remain borne
pn furlough for a short time. lie had
a leg broken by the fail of his horse,
and is yet unfit for qaty. We are
pleased to learn from the' boys" that
a better or braver soldier tban.Lieut
McDonald is not in tile service.
Furnace near Hopewell.—Messrs.
Lowry, Eichelberger & Castner of
Hopewell, have purchased or leased
the Lemnos Furnace, situated near
Hopewell in Bedtbrd county It is
their intention to put her in reptir and
make iron ; the property has been idle
for a number of years, and will take
considerable capital to fix it up. Some
thing must 132 done to sustain the town.
The Railroad to Bloody Run will soon
be completed, and this must necessa
rily do away with all the staging from
this point to Bedtbrd. Starting these
works will give employment to a num
ber of families and property will not
depreciate as it otherwise would have
done. These gentlemen have our best
wishes.
-- Still Continues—the practice of
boys jumping on freight trains while
passing through town. Scarcely a
train is allowed to run through with
out some of these young scamps are
hanging on ; this is not only done when
the trains are running slowly, but
when they are going at a rapid rate.
We have warned parents of this evil
before, and you may expect to hear of
some lad being run over and killed, if
it is persisted in. We have performed
our duty.
—Better Pill—the eloquent and pa
triotic Union speech made by 11.. B.
Swoope, Esq., of Clearfield, before the
Union League meeting on Tuesday
evening, March 10th. 11'oncicr if any
of the Reptiles were within hearing
distance!
—Col. Irwin and Major Miles of the
49th Regt. P. V., have.reeeiVed orders
to return to their regiment. Some
thing is up ! A movement of the Army
of the Potomac is expected. The re•
eruitiiig office in this place will be con
tinned. Sergt. Miles Irvin will attend
to all calls of young men who may
wish to get in ahead of the draft.
—Packages to the Army.—Adams
Express Co., have delivered a largo
number or packages to the soldiers in
General Hooker's Army during the
last ten days. The General has made
arrangements for the speedy delivery
of express goods to the soldiu is in his
command in fu tu re. " Old ;Toe "is ma
king some wholesome arrangements.
Ground hog.—So far this inter
esting chap has told the truth and we
are glad his time is about out, for now
according to "Hoyle " - we should have
fair weather.
—The Fishermen have already been
at work. We have lately seen some
fine strings of takea from the Ju
niata ; this looks like spi in g.
—:l,lr. John Dixon of this place
met with an accident last Friday near
Broad Top City; he was lilting at
something heavy,his Mot slipped, which
resulted in sevmely spraining his leg.
—We have learned that the Rail
Road Companies have reduced the
frieght on coal, and we are glad of it,
as we expect to see our Broad Top
friends doing a " land office business "
the coming season.
Mr. Asbury Stewart of Mill Creek
has sold his store to Mr. George Ebti•
of that place. • Mr. Stewart is still en
gaged in sawing lthnber, :thou tsi x miles
from the Railroad ; lie is using a circu
lar saw in his mill, and is enabled to
send a large amount of lumber off daily.
—Lt town.—Col. W. 11. Irwin of the
49th Penna. Rgt., was in town last
week ; he was on his way to Broad Top
to attend to some business before join
ing his regiment. Ile as usual looks
well.
St. Patrick's Day.—To day is St.
Patrick's day. We anticipate that our
friends from over the water will cele
brate the anniversary in the usual way
and have a " high old time generally."
—Paradise Furnace, situated about
five miles from Marklesburg, is to be
put in blast the coming summer.—
Messrs. Deweese and Trexler were up
a short time ago—to make arrange
ments for an early start.
The large flag which was hung out
over the Recruiting office has been ta
ken down for repair. We aspect to
see it floating in the breeze again in a
few days.
—On Sunday evening during the
snow storm we were surprised to see
a vivid flash of lightning followed by
a loud clap of thunder. Something
unusual to have thunder and light
ning with snow. It was a " thundering
SOON."
—Sanford's Opera Troop were in
Altoona and Hollidaysburg last week,
and performed before largo and de
lighted audienCes; they came over from
Bellefonte and stopped on their way
west; they will be in Huntingdon in
the course of six weeks, and give the
citizens of the Ancient Borough a
chance for a hearty laugh.
We learn that Mr. John Jamh,on
died at his residence at Shade Gap, on
Tuesday of last week, of small pox.
—There is such a thing now-a-days
as a man seeing snakos in his daily
walks Withoilt having tho aid of a
*brick in his bat.

NEGRO SOLDIERS,
Those of our countrymen who are
opposed to the employment of any
but white hands to fight the Southern
rebels, and who consider' it undigni
fied to put arms in the hands of ne
groes, are informed that at the present
time, nearly all the French soldiers
garrisoning Vera Cruz arc negroes
from Martinique. It is also known
that the French Government has late
ly obtained a number of negroes from
Egypt,4o serve in Mexico.
We do not hear that there is. any
dissatisfaction among the officers and
men of the French army at being thus
associated with soldiers of another col
or.. They have fought side by side in
Algeria and in other countries, and it
is generally conceded that there is no
impropriety in letting the men of one
color incur the same risks as those of
another color. Provided victories arc
gained, it matters very little to the
cause of a nation what is the color of
the men gaining them. If the French
heroes of the Crimea, of Algeria and of
Italy are not squeamish about having
negroes to fight under their flag, cop
perheads, who are not heroes, but. ei
ther traitors or cowards or both, need
not make such an outcry whenever it
is proposed to let the blacks help the
Government in the war of which their
race is the innocent cause. It would
doubtless have been a good thing if the
rebellion could have been put down in
a few months, without the aid from
the negroes. But it has been going
on for two years, and there must be
no more affectation of gentility to pre
vent us from using every agency with
in our reach for its suppression.—Phila.

Dr. Franklin said, " a policy of Life
Instulunce is the cheapest and safest
mode of making a certain provision for
one':-i family. Tt is strange that men
should be careful to insure their .I:oa
ses, their furniture, &c,, and yet neg
lect to assure their lives, the most im
portant of all to their families, and far
mere subject to loss."
. ..No one, upon a bed of sickness, ever,
regretted inking suitable provision
for his Ihmily : at such a time, a life
policy can be fully appreciated.
The Penn Mutual Life Insurance
Company of Philadelphia offers superior
inducements. It has a capital of
$1,151,789 50, securely invested. Has
paid losses amounting to $014,000, and
made dividends to the insured amount

The Trustees have declared a scrip
dividend of 40 per cent. on• the cash

months, and 18 days.
Thus the mother ha soon followed
her infant. She leaves some eight or
nine children with the father, to mourn
her loss. But they mourn not as those
who have no hope, for her last words
were truly encouraging. They were:
"Sweet Saviour." Her funeral was
attended by a large concourse of peo
ple; her body was interred in the Ger
man Reformed grave-yard, near Mar
klesburg, 'and a funeral sermon preach
ed by Rev. Fouso. She was a mem
ber of the Reformed Church for many
years. She lived a Christian; and the
grace of God in a dying hour made
the dark waters of death luminous, so
that she was able to cross safely.
We mice her at the cheerful board ;
Her smiles are no more seen ;
Her little ones are with us still,
Like rnys of light between.
We mina the music of her voice,'
So soft, ao sweet, so clear ;
And long to hail her in that land
Undimmed by sorrow's tear.
