Where the True Men Stand.
It was a sight which the more ig
'norant as well as the indifferent men
of the opposition clique should have
witnessed on Tuesday morning last,
when a company of forty-two Doug
las Democrats—who in IS6O voted for
•and advocated the cause of that la
mented patriot and statesman—form
ed in line at the Globe office and march
ed boldly to the polls, and placed in
the ballot-box their legal votes for
ABRAHAM LINCOLN and ANDREW JOHN+
sox, the first of -whom was once a
Republican, and the latter. Demo
crat. The men who thus fearlessly
manifested their devotion to the Uni
on were and are the true Democrats;
they discovered the errors of the bo
gus Dernoeraey,which falsely and base
ly claims to support the principles of
the Democratic party of former days
—they have.thrown the questions and
prejudices of mere party overboard,
and as patriots they know and recog
nize nothing but their country, which
they support with unswerving fealty.
Would that the blind followers of a
few unprincipled politiciang, who cre
ated a party false to good govern
ment, would see the error of their
ways; and follow the example of these
Democrats of the old school.
We have discovered that the
whole number of Union Democrats in
the borough district who voted the
Union ticket is sixty, but owing to the
demands of business and other cases
of necessity they could not form in
the procession on election morning.
The Election.
' o cannot give particulara — runf
week but the loyal men of the coun
try may shout as men never shouted,
over a victory not equalled since our
Government has beer. in existence.—
The victory at home will give new life
to our brave armies, and it will be a
crushing blow, on the heads of Rebels
and their Northern sympathizers.
Pennsylvania has gone for Lincoln
and Johnson by a majority of from
20,000 to 30,000.
New York has gone for Lincoln
and Johnson by a majority from 10,000
to 15,000. Gen. Seymour is defeated
for re-election.
Illinois has gone for Lincoln and.
Johnson by from 20,0.00 to 30,000 ma
jority.
All theother States tbathave'gone for
Lincoln and Johnson give_handsome
majorities.
HUNTINGDON COUNTY.—The majority
in this county for Lincoln and Johnson
will roach about 750 on the home
vote. It should have been fifteen
hundred---but Many honest Democrats,
at the eleventh hour, wore deceived in
to the support of the bogus Democrat
ic-ticket. Such as were deceived will
now have time to reflect, and it tho
sympathizers with rebellion, heading
the party in this county, don't get a
few curses,then wo are mistaken. Al
ready a number of honest Democrats
who voted for the McPendleton tick
et, deny having done so. We aro in
formed that the McPendleton party
polled one hundred more votes in Car
bon township than they polled in Oc
tober. The men were strangers—no
doubt deserters and bounty jumpers,
ELECTION DAY IN THE BOROUGH.-
Though the weather was somewhat
inclement there was a good attendanee
at the polls. A considerable degree of
earnestness and enthusiasm • was
evinced by both parties; each side
vieing with the other to secure votes
and voters, and whore any voter was
discovered to be unable to walk, car
riages were in readiness to bring him
to the polls. We believe that such
zeal never was displayed at any for
mer election, and yet the day passed
without any disturbances being crea
ted by the pugilistic. The momentous
importance of the question to be deci
ded appeared to drown every rude and
boisterous feeling, and each man voted
according to his own opinion, and
patiently awaited the results. When
it was known that old Huntingdon,
always true,had given 92 majority for
Lincoln, a gain of 35 over the October
election, a shout was heard"that made
the welkin ring. Jovial scenes and
incidents in the evening crowned the
efforts and success of the day, and
every loyal man retired to his couch
feeling assured that the victory was
won.

The Money Order System.
The postal money order system is
to go into effect upon Monday next.
This plan is for the transmission of
small sums, not less than ono dollar
and not more than thirty dollars. For
the service to the parties interested
the following fees or commissions aro
to bo paid in advance by the party
who deposits the money. For orders
for sums of ten dollars and under ton
cents; over ten dollars and not ex
ceeding twenty dollars, twenty cents;
over twenty dollars and not exceeding
thirty dollars, thirty cents. A blank
for the amount required is to be filled
up by the applicant, who must, in all
cases, give his own Christian name in
full; and' when the Christian name of
tho payee is known, it should bo so
stated; oth9rwiso initials may bo used.
The Christian name of married women
must be given, and not those of their
husbands. For example, Mrs. "Ifirry
Brown" must not be described he Mrs.
"William Brown." Where the order
is to bo sent by, or to a firm, the usual
firm name is all that need be given.—
The order •is then given to the party
applying for it according to number,
stating the amount, but not stating to
whom it is payable or who deposited
the money. A request is at the bot
tom of the Order that the Postmaster
shall pay tho money to the person
indicated in the "letter of adviee."—
The letter of: advice is sent by the
Postmaster with whom the money is
deposited to the Postmaster who is to
pay the order, and it contains the
names of the depositor and of the
pe:•son to whom the money is to be
paid. The latter is to receive the or
der from the former, and most usually,
it will be sent in inclosuro'by mail. A
party who has possession of an order
will bo required, before payment is
made to him, to state the Christian
surname of the party who sends it
and his address, and also his own.—
This regulation is designed to prevent
• •01i p,l nun ho., obtrtielin
the amount of an order, should it by
:iceident, fraud or theft, fall into im
proper hands. The Poet Office De
partment will use fair means . to pre
vent dishonesty, but if an order is
once paid to the party presenting it,
through misrepresentation, the Gov
ernment will not be liable to any fur
ther claim. The public are therefore
cautioned as follows :
Crows !
" Ist.. To talmall means to prevent
the loss of a money order.
2d. Never to send the order in The
same letter with the information ra
quired on payment thereof.
3d. To be careful, on taking out a
money order to state correctly the
Christian name, as well as the surname
of the person in whose favor it is to
be d rawfl t _
4th. io see that the name and ad.
dross of the person taking out the
money order are correctly made
known to the person in whose favor it
is to be drawn.
Neglect of these instructions will
risk tho loss of the money, besides
leading to delay and trouble in,obtain
ing payment.
Under no circumstances can pay
ment of an order be demanded on the
day of its issue."
If the money is not called for with
in ninety days after the date of the
order, there will be difficulty in ob
taining it. The regular form of the
order must not be clipped or mutilated.
When the payee of an - order desires
the same to be paid to any other per
son, he murtftli- up find signa form of
indorsement, and furnish such second
party with the information required
to obtain' payment of his order, who,
upon receiving payment, must sign
his name upon tho face of the order„
Dior° than ono indorsement is prohibi
ted by law, and will render the order
invalid and not payable.
This system, entirely new to our
country, is founded upon the English
plan. In Great Britain it has been
very useful,and is exceedingly popular.
Properly managed, it will be in the
United States an. accommodation
which will soon be discovered to be
indispensable in the managemeAt of
business between different sections of
the coup litquker, lith alt.

AN OSSIFIED 11 . 1,AN.-There is a man
residing in Portage county, Ohio, who,
since his fifteenth,•.year t has been al
most entirely ossified. At , that age he
injured his knee hyafall from hiS horse.
The injury caused. ossification, which
immediately set in ; and in the course
of fifteen years had conripleted its ter
rible work. Ho can only move two of
his fingers and two of his toes. Tie
bas not opened his jaws for more than
thirty years,
yet still manages to talk
with ease His food is" . placed within
his lips, andwithout mastication is con
veyed to his stomach. Ho lies in the
same position during an entire day,
only changing his position once in
twonty-four hours. His skin fortunate
ly retains its normal condition. He
has been blind for thirty years, and is
compelled to draw upon his -memory
for mental exercise. This•faculty has
become exceedingly- tenacious. He
remembers the most minute and tri
fling incident or eircumstanPo ; has the
entire past, every 'fact and event in his
experience, before him, piled up like
strata, and summons at will, or as oc
casion requires, occurrences which
have faded from the minds of his
friends. His recollection of localities
is wonderful. Places that he had vis
ited years ago, before struck with
blindness, he can now identify as he
rides along, so vivid a recollection has
he of the relative position of things
as.bridgos, rivers, &c. Ho is very ex
port at mathematical calculations, and
can, with. great readiness, give,for•ex
ample, the number of square inches, in
an area the number of whose, square
feet or rods is given him.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.
Business letters received from Beau
fort, N. 0., dated October 28th, state
that the recent warm spell of weather
had developed eight new cases of yel
low fever on that day. The severe
frost which must Boon come, would, it
was believed, eradicate the disease.
Dr. J. W. Ross, who stands high' as
a clergyman in North Carolina, arriv
ed to-day, direct from Raleigh, with
important intelligence. Ho says that
the entire State of North Carolina, as
ivoll as Georgia, is alive with rebel
deserters, who most eases :are armed
and organized, and abundantly able to
protect themselves. In the western part
of the State theyreign suprome,making
repeated raids on wealthy planters and
rebel depots for supplies,and giving pro
tection to runaway slaves, who are
also armed and accompany these bands
of deserters in raiding expeditions.
Dr. Ross says the rebel authorities have
given up all hopes of forcing these men
back into the rebel ranks, having been
repulsed in all efforts to this end.—
Every expedition fitted out for this
purpose has proved a failure, for those
who were not killed in battle deserted
to the insurgents, whose nitmbere Were
continually increasing.
Jeff. ,Davis said, when in Raleigh,
that the deserters from tho Confoder,
ate army outnumbered the Confeder
soldiers in the field.
An extensive conspiracy, recently
brought to light at Raleigh, implicates
many prominent officers.of the Con
servative party, who now " openly
threaten to head these desertere'and
their -- friends, and take possession of
the State, the government of North
Carolina, apd all the railroads, in the
event of Governor Vance failing .to
instigate at once a separate State ac
tion-for peace with President Lincoln.
The Doctor also says that it is now
apparent to the rebel authorities that
Grant has been affording faculties to
Lee, to .receive reinforcements, when
Grant, by a sudden spring of his
troops, .gill close up the last gap; and
oblige Loe to capitulate. This, Gov:
Vance says, is Grant's plan, and it
.has given Jeff. Davis much concern.
The latter is said to be in favor of
evacuating Virginia altogether, and to
have repeatedly implored Leo to do
so. and not incur a risk of the capitu
lation, of his army. This was told
Ross just before leaving Raleigh by
an aid on GoVernor Vance's Staff.

... Oa Tuesday- night Sue Monday's ;

house of Mr. Harper, two miles south
of Midway, made the old gentleman
a prisoner, and without the slightest.
provocation murdered their victim in
the most cowardly and brutal manner.
Mr. Harper was a Union man. This
was the only excuse the outlaws had
for the perpetration of the inhuman
outrage.
It does seem that this Sue Munday
is lost to every womanly instinct, her
heart wholly corrupted and her nature
fiendigh, for she rejoices in acts of cold
blood and every species of crime. •
On Wednesday four guerrilliia, cap

- TREABON IN INDIANA:
SONS OF LIBERTY. i
Confessions of a Deputy Grand Com-
mander
PROPOSED ASSASSINATION' OP . 1:i101r. MORTON
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 4.
Horace Hefforn,Deputy--Grand Com
mander, of the Order of the Sons of
Liberty in Indiana, who for some
weeks has been on trial here for a par
ticipation in a treasonable conspiracy,
to•.day turned State's evidence, and
made a startling 'revelation of the
schemes of- the Order. He said that
nobody but Democrats bad been ad
mitted in the, order, or would be if
they applied.
Ho confirmed the previous evidence
of the military_ organization of the
Order, and of the appointment of a
Major General to command it. Dr..
Bowles, oto of the accused, was Corn
mander-imChief, with a staff, of which
Dr. James B. Wilson,recently arrested,
was Adjutant General.
He said that a Committee of thir
teen was appointed to prepare for an
insurrection, and- that the insurrection
was intended to release the rebel pris.
oners in the Northwest, arm them
from the Government arserials,•over
throw the State Government, kill Gov.
Morton, or hold , him as a hostage for
captured ineurreCtionists, and then
form the Northwest into a separate
Confederacy.
He said he • was told by Adjutant
General Wilson, of Dr. Bowles' staff,
that 850,000 bad been sent by the re
bel agents'in Canada into the North
west, to purchase arms for the Order,
and that $200,000 'had been loft in In
diana, in the bands of Dodd and John
C. alker, State agent. WilSon
showed Hoffern $4,000 he received
from Bowles to buy arms in Washing
ton county.
Heffern further swore that' the Com
mittee of. Thirteen had appointed ton
men to kill- Gov. Morton, and a few
days since the Governor received a
letter, signed by one of the men, do.
daring that the writer and his associ
ates were sworn to kill him, and would
do it. Heffern's revelations astounded
the Court, though prepared by the
previous evidence for. part of it. If
Gov. Morton was killed, Dr. Athon,
Secretary of State and a member of
the Order was to take his place, as
provided by law, in case of the- death
or disability of the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor.
Tragedy in Clearfield County.
A United States Officer Murdered by a
Deserter,
[From the Cloorfiold Raftsma iorrnat, of Nov. 2d.]
On last Friday evening, Colonel
Cyrus Butler and Lieutenant David
Van Vliet, officers Of the United States .
Government, camel(' Clearfield to ar•
rest deserters. On Saturday night,
29th October, bating reason to believe
that thci notorious Jo. Lonnsberry
Would be at hiS house, about three
'miles north of Clearfield borough, But
ler and Van Vliet, went thither. Just
as day was breaking, on Sunday morn
ing, Lounsberry came out of the 13011 - 90,
and- proceeded to the barn, probably
for the purpose of feeding his stock.
The li^ht was, as yet, too indistinct to
admit of his recognition to.a
.certain
ty; but on his, return to the house, all
doubts on this score were renioveil;
and the officers at once rapidly ap
proached tho'house in the hope of pre
venting his entrance. This they would
have succeeded in had it not been for
a second door on the rear side of the
house, into which Lounsberry rushed,
closely pursued by the officers, who
called upon him to stop.. This do
mend was, as a matter of course, un
heeded, and Lounsberry ran up stairs,
' f011c . 704 by. Butl9i._find.Van
The stairway was too narrow to ad
mit of more than one ascending, ex
cept by following each other. • Butler
went up ahead, Van Vliet . followed
close after. Col. Butler had . proceeded
nearly to the top of thestairs '
When
Lousberry fired nt him . with a rifle,
from inside the door, the ball taking
effect in the left side of the abdomen
of Butler, who at once fired upon
Lousisberry .with a navy revolver,with
what effect was not known.
Lounsberry then rushed out and
struck 'Butler across the head with
sac,h rcyce that he broke the gun-stock,
atislAten grappled Lieut. Van •Vliet.--
ItrAlitis encounter, the latter dropped
Ili; revolver, and struck Lousberry a
brow with his fist, knocking him down
the stairway. Lounsberry, however,
recovered before Van Vliet could get
to him, and running out of the back
door made good his escape. It is be
lieved that: Lounsberry was wounded
by one of the shots fired by Col. But
ler, as Illc;ed was found on the line of
his traits.
Col. BUtler was brought to this place,
on Sunday, when Drs. Wood, Harts
wick, Wilson and Spaekman examin
ed and dressed his . wounds. But all
in vain; for on Monday morning, at
about, 2 o'clock, he died. Thai Lous
berry has added to his other violations
of law, the horrible crime of murder.;
for Col. Butler was an officer of the
Government, trying to discharge his
duty, and that only. Ho and Lieut.
Van Vliot came here at the request of
the Provost :Marshal Campbell, to arrest
deserters.
We have endeavored to give the facts
of this tragical affair as nearly as we
have boon able to ascertain them; and
we regard the affair as the naturrl re
sult of the teachings of the Copper
head leaders, who refused to extend
the aid of either man or money to the
Government, and talked of "a free
fight, or a free ballot!"' The blood of
Col. Butler rests heavily upon their
shoulders, and it remains to be seen
how far they will, in the future, be
sustained in this county by the honest
and law abiding people.
On Monday morning an inquisition
was summoned by Esquire Shugart,
which, after eliciting the facts from
witnesses called, filled a verdict, set
ting forth that "the said Cyrus Butler,
a regularly appointed Provost Marshal
by the Government authorities, in the
discharge of his duties, was shot in
the belly about three inches above and
to the left of the navel," which caused
his death.
N. B---It is rumored bore, through
what source is best known to those
who furnish the informantion, that
Lounsberry received p. flesh wound on
the lower part of the arm.

are paid off in the era of peace internal
as well as external, by the total absence
of excise and direct tax for thepurposes
of National Government ? Is nothing
due to the mutat inter-exchangeability
and inter-adaptedness of the extreme-
IY various productions and commodi
ties rendering us a coinplete world in

should have, knots of counties in the
several States, and blocks of of houses
in the several cities, suites of rooms in
the several houses, and bevies of furni-,
turn in the several rooms, all separa
ting upon the score of difference of
interests. '
The true essence of this difference
lay more in the inordinate desicesof
the slaveholders than in the obtained
results. The Northerners wore and
are willing to live well -by labor, per
'chance growing slowly rich in addi
tion ; the Southerners not only wanted
to live without labor, but to live sump
tuously, and grow rich suddenly. All
were doing exceedingly well, despite
the supposed difference of interests,
but those faring best were least antis•
fled. They had had their warnings,
As for a Confederacy, the whole coun
try, as States, had tried that—to its
sorrow—for the nine years just after
the achievements of independence;
and it was to consolidate these toggle
jointed communities into a nation that
the Constitetien was Ostablislied. The
Southern Confederacy is seen to be
exactly like the man who had chiseled
upon his tombstone,

tient is just dying under the course
of treatment, yet they recommend it
to another as invariably safe.
-The Constitution 'reads; "Well°
people," &e., (not we bile States, ete;),
"do ordain and establish," &a; and at
its close provides for its own binding
effect upon being ratified by the Con
ventions (bodies directly from the peo
ple, not Legislatures) of nine States
