We had the pleasure of being a look er on at the Union State Convention which assembled at Harrisburg 'on Thursday last. The Convention was harmonious and carried out the will of the loyal people of the State by putting in nomination two, gentlemen Ivho had faced the eneinyin the field, Gen. JNO. F. HARTRANFT 3 of MOntgoniery county, and COI. -JACOB M., CAMNIELL, of Cam bria county. Our choice for Surveyor General, Capt. Brice X. Blair, 'was un successful, not because he was not con sidered as worthy as Col. Campbell, but because the party west of the Mountain claimed the man and work ed more earnestly for the nomination of their choice. ' The ticket is a good one, and shall have our most earnest support, and we feel confident the Union party of tho State will give it a solid vote, and elect it by an overwhehning majority. The Union County Convention and its Nominees. We have taken an interest in party conventions for thirty years, and nev erbefore has any one transacted its business SD fully satisfactorily to us and the people as the Union Conven. tion . which met in this place on Tues.. day last: The voice of the people was heard, and the prOceedings of the con vention must convince every ono that their will was respected and obeyed. "Honor to the brave—practice what we have preached"--controlled the ae. tiOn of the Convention, and the dele gates, representatives of the loyal Union voters of the county, put in nomination a ticket worthy their uni• ted and vigorous support. We have a soldiers'' tiblret---every man upon it (with one solitary exception) having seen active service in the field—and the exception has always been one of the most active and stanchest Union men in the county. We cannot, this week, give a proper notice of each eau- Edate, as we are not yet made fully acquainted with their many heroic deeds, and their sufferings, that their country might be saved from destruc tion. Several of the candidates carry with them the evidence that they have been true to their country, and a grate ful people will not forget them, now that they are again in our midst.— They are all competent to fill the office cos for which they have been nomina ted, and a generous people will endorse their nomination in October next by living them a large majority over any opposition. We shall hereafter speak more fully of. the ticket. - ittiaii-We know the men on the Union ticket (with one exception) as true, tried and honorable soldiers, well do serving the rewards the people can justify them in accepting. Two are cripples, thus giving painful evidence that they stood nobly while the battle raged, and suffered to defend the flag; the others,"more fortunate, were nev ertheless, equally as ready, and some have the sears to prove that their blood vrti requiied to cement the Union as we now find it. The voice of the' people cannot but cry out in their favor, and every feeling of sym pathy and gratitude will insure them the victory. itta- Seib:in . ...States have now Provi :sional Governors, namely: North Car .olina, Holden ; South Carolina, Perry; Georild, - Johnson ; Alabama, Parsons; Florida; Marvin; Mississippi , Sharkey; and Texas, Hamilton.

The_ Convention gave three eneere for the "Soldiers' Ticket," and adjourn ed. We .live in expectation of seeing the friends of the soldiers supporting the "true blue" ticket put in nomina tion by the County Convention. The people have spoken through their rep resentatives, and spoken well. It is now loft for the friends of the soldiers and the friends of the people to put their energies in motion to elect the ticket.

Logan of Orbisonia, Huntingdon county, Pa., a member of Co. M, 16th. Pa. Cavalry, who enlisted on the 19th day of Sep tember, 1802, and at present a patient in the Ninth Ward of this hospital, has received no less than fourteen wounds in the service of his country. At the battle of Middleburg, in Loudon co., Va., which took place on the 19th of Juno; 1863, he reaeived eleven wounds. Whilo-acting, as - a dismounted. skir misher, ho became, detached fretn his comrades, and Was assailed by: a mounted rebel, who ordered him to surrender, which ho refused to do; and five more rebels rode up, shouting "kill hitn:,!" The sergeant bravely defended himself for a time, from the assault of his enemies, until finally be fell, having received eleven wounds, as above eta, ted, and was left for dead by the chiv alrous Southerners. He has subse quently been wounded in . other en• gagements, as the following statement will show. Notwithstanding all these wounds, the Sergeant is not seriously disabled : Ist. Sabre cut, three inches in length extending diagonally across frontal . bone, from a point about three inches above left eye, towards right ear, crossing corona' suture, and ditiding both tables of tho skull, and resulting in cartilaginous union, with ,a loss of bony suatance. 2d. Sabre cut, two and a half inches in length, extending from a point about three inches above loft ear, forward and across sagittal suture, to within ono eighth inch of the first cut, and forming, with it, a letter V. This cut penetrated the outer tablo of parietal bones. 3d. Sabre cut, two inclics•in length, dividing scalp, half an inch anterior to, and on a lino with the first cut. • .4th. Sabre cut, one and a half inches in length, dividing the scitlp, 'half an inch posterior to, and ou a line with second cut. In additien to those he received three minor sabre cuts on the head. Bth.

Flesh wound of the right hip, posterior surface, caused by pistol ball. Ho was sent to Lincoln Hospital, Washington, D. C., and on the 19th of January, 1864, was returned to his regiment. On the 28th of MS, 1861, during a cavalry engagement at Haw's shop, Hanover county, Va., he received a gunshot wound of the loft elbow, the ball entering on internal surface, just above condyle of humerus, and passing out on posterior surface, one inch from point of entrance, splintering humor , us, and lacerating internal lateral liga ment, cicatrix limiting extension of arm to an angle of about forty five de grees. Ho Was sent to Mount Pleasant hos pital, Washington, D. C., thence to Summit House, -Philada., and thence to Satterleo Hospital, Philada., and was returned to duty Nov. 29th, 1864. On the sth of April last, in the on. gagement at Amelia Springs, he re ceived a flesh Wound in left, shoulder, from n pistol Will, the ball entering posteriorly, passing through deltoid muscle, and out near humeral extrem ity of the clavicle, lodging in the left side of the neck, near middle of the sterno mastoid muscle, injuring the glos.so pharyngeal nerve,and prad s ucing partial paralysis of loft side of the tongue. J. E. P., Surgeon of Ward. We aro gratified to learn that Sergi. Logan is now at home, at Orbisonia, in reasonably good health. We had the pleasure of meeting with Henry - Robison .Black, of Newton Hamilton, last week, who was a boSom companion of Sergt.Logitn during the campaign and escaped until the last day of the surrender of Lee, when ho was severely wounded by a ball in the right arm. Mr. Black enlisted when only 16 years old. . PAnnoNs.--Thus far,abou L two thou sand applications for pardon under the proclamation of the President, have been. favorably acted upon by the Attorney General, but not more than one fourth have been sent out by the State Department to the interested parties. The remainder await the sig natures of the President and Secretary Seward. • This information should set at rest the anxiety of some with re gard to the Dumber pardoned by Pres identiJohnson. None have been par doned but those who rightfully should have been. tie" IT appears by the English emi gration returns, that seven porstns out of ten of those wholeave British soil come to the United States. This is the strongest testimony that could possibly be offered the general securi ty and prosperity enjoyed in this country—evidence which no other kind of statistics could possibly refute. There are immense tracts of fertile waste land in Turkey, Russia, and the Danubian provinces, but who thinks of emigrating to those coun tries? Teachers' National Association.— The Teachers' National Convention re-assembled at Harrisburg on the morning of the 16th inst., five hupdred delegates being present.

Letter frorriFthe West, DAVENPORT; :10 Aug. 12, 1865 DEAR, GLOBE:—Whilst I sit this morning overlooking .the steamboats passing up and down the. great river, and the splendid.ferry boat Rock Isl and on which' pivs3d the turbid waters of the Mississippi more than nine years ago, I feel sad from hearing of an ac cident on the M. & M. B. R., about 80 mileS from hero, which happened last night, in whiph three persons were killed and many injured. I don't know the details, but yon will have them be fore this reaches you; or the mails will be smarter than they have been. Wo have had nd'initil . frOrn the east for two days. That terrible rain we learn has swept away, wo cannot tell how many bridges between here and Chicago, and perhaps farther east. But the worst was that it about finished the remainder of the ,wheat crop standing out. Oh ! what a humbug is our Agri cultural Bureau Reports. Not true even if everything had been saved, for the crops in Ohio; Indiana, and lowa, (I mean the wheat crop), was not as good as last year by odds; but now since more than -ball is lost by wet weather it is a failtire, which .will tell heavily on tho Markets. Wheat and flour are rising in price hero daily, and other cereals, sympa thizing With iNm,,aile a!so going up. But if i wo havef6 liilliog frost for the nest three weeks, siloh a crop of corn as lowa will produce, never was seen or heard of. The potatoes are already made, and the yield \vill be tremendous You should see some of these potatoes, and the best to catj over tasted. Well, about that rain storm. We have had no two dry days in Bifaces, sion since I arrived,hore but this came on rather snakily, as if wo were going to have but a small shower; no wind, no sign of much electrical action, for which this country is noted. But just before it reached us, its power became manifest: The thunder seemed tear ing down the skies and racking the earth. Clap after''elap, and peal after peal—you had . bardly the time to shield your eyes,from the flashes until crash it came- tt , if , = ‘ at your door. A stable was struck and burned in Rock Island across the river, and a fine horse in it, and yet4here was no wind. The rain came down. as if the clouds bad been bored as closely as possible with ball inch augurs,in steady streams • The market id - full of young prairie fowl, and other game. The bunters are fully at work,•the first of August being the day the law takes off the embargo.

Outrages on Negroes in Alabaina, Negroes Killed by the Whites by the Wholesale—The _Negroes Hiding in the WoOds—Negro Churches and Ifou,. ses Burned by the Whites. .J. lt. Shipherd, Secretary of the "Northwestern Freedmen's Aid Com mission," communicates to the Chicago Journal the following extract from a recent business communication from ono of our teachers at Mobile, Alaba ma. Tor the last two months we have boon in the frequent receipt of similar statements equally credible. The au thor of the extract herewith is a gen tleman of moro than ordinary intelli gence, and especially prudent in re gard to the repetition of rumors. EXTRACT "With the present tendency of mat , tors in this State, I do riot . think col ored schools can be opened very gen erally, except in such places as this, nontgomery, etc. By GoVernor Par sons' proclamations, civil Mff, as it.ax: isted before the ordinance of secession was passed, is now in force throughout the State. . • "In accordance therewith, the May or of this city decides that the testi mony of a colored man against a white man cannot be admitted in a court of justice; neither ean a colored man sue or collect .a debt of a white man: The 'freedman' is one only in, name, while his actual condition is worse than when a slave. This is the very result which rebels wish to bring about. "A meeting was held hero last night, before which statements were made as to the treatment of colored . by white people, in the interior of the State, which would make you sick of life. Ono hundred. and thirty-three dead bodies were counted in the woods; five bodies wore seen floating in the river; two white men were seen to pull a negro down across a log and cut his head off with an axe. Women and children were killed, and then boxed up and thrown into the river; a wom an was killed by a white man, and burial refused by him to her relatives. "For a black man to be seen with 'greenbacks' in his possession is death. Colored people aro hiding in the woods, living on berries, fruits, etc., to escape the fury of their former masters. "These statements were made by intelligent, candid, colored mon before an audience of several hundred last night. 'Tt l iatobile, through the conni vance of somebody,.ehurches and ne gro houses are burnt, women set to work cleaning the streets, men arid women arrested in :beds taken to the guardhouse, fined or sent to the work bouSe, ete., etc. "Last night there was a heavy fire, in which three oi• four squares, mostly of negro quarters, were burned. Men were heard to say that before they were done, they would • burn every negro quarter and school house in Mo bile. These things might be remedied." SOLDIERS' DISCI - MMES.—WO referred, some time since, to the practice of sol diers selling their -discharges, said discharge papers being used by span tutors to purchase army horses at re duced prices, it having been the prac• tiro at the Government corrals to sell a horse on a certificate of' honorable discharge at greatly reduced prices. We then also stated that his system of selling horses on these discharges had been suspended. It now ROME that speculators are purchasing soldiers' discharges with a view to making mon ey in another direction. Congress, at its coming session, will undoubtedly .vote grants of land, bounties and oth er rewards to soldiers who enlisted at a time when such premiums were not paid for recruits. Many of the biotin. ties of the Governmet were enjoyed . by men who served limited terms of enlistment, or who, by the expiration of the war, were &set-tat-god long be, fore their time of enlistment had ex Aired. Other men, as we have already stated, enlisted and served full terms, without a bounty. It is very probable, as it would only be just, that COngress will do all those who fought bravely and were diScharged honorably, jus tice hi these'' particulars. 'A portion of the immense landed possessions of the nation will be sot aside as homes for these men, but all such as have Ws.% posed 'of their 'honorable discharges, the only evidence on which their claims can be established, will be cut off from the munificence. of the Government. The speculators who aro engaged in put chasing these discharges, are aware of these facts. Every honorable discharge will constitute the evidence to entitle the holder to a good farm and perhaps money enough to stock it, so that the men who have earned these dischar ges by fair and brave service on the battle field,- - would do well to retain them. As evidence of calor and pa triotism, they are of great value, and as the means some day of procuring a home, they Should be, hoarded as so. much money. We trust, then, that every soldier who has an honorable discharge, will resent as an insult the. offer of any man to purchase it. • TAE MEXICAN ASPECt—The Moral effect of the overthrow of the rebellion proves to bo greater in South America and especially in Mexico, than invad• lng armies and navies. Louis Napo leon's contract did not include the de feat of the slave conspiracy; it took birth, shape, vitality, and vigor from the hope of its success. His legions in Mexico feel the failure of his theory terribly. No Frenchmen emigrate there; the soldiers long to get back to Paris, and his German levies or con. tingents are running over into the fat lands of Texas as fast as their legs can carry them. The French have all left the Rio grand°, lost a collision should take place between them and 'Sheri dan's boys, some of whom are a little too eager to "go on . " Had the French . stayed on that lino, the Mexicans fired by the news of the downfall of tho rebels, would have risen behind thorn and probably cut them to pieces. The guns carried over by the retreat ing rebels were never used by the French, but were avoided as so much poison—and when they were demand ed as our property they were fbund covered with rust, and gladly handed back. The weak part of the whole French fiasco is not in Mexico, but in Paris, and the most anxious man to get the Frenchmen out is not Juarez, in his mountain home, but Louis Ka poleon in , hie palate. - . OUR ANDERSOWVILLE MARTYRS.--A private letter from Captain. -James M. Moore, A. Q.

A Washington despatch to the asso, elated press reads as follows. Publications have recently boon made of reports„speculations, and in ferences about differences of=iminion between the President and his Cabinet with .reo ° urd to the , policy proper to be pursued in restoring the Southern States to their former relations to the Union, and particularly in solving 'the question of negro suffra ,, e in the work of re establishing civil gover n ment, the initiatory measures to secure which hay.e airody been taken through the agency of the Provisional Governors. The proceedings of the Cabinet are strictly private; and it is not known, that any .of the members aro in the habit of improperly revealing thorn; and therefore, the publications proles' sing to give reports of what takes place in the Cabinet council, are to say the lest,. unreliable. , But it May be said With confidence, as an answer to many of these specu lations'that there - is not now, nor is it believed there will be, any substantial difference between. the President anti his Cabinet with regard to the restore Lion of the Southern States. . One of the reasons for this assertion is the fact that all the proclamations appoint ing the . Provisional Governors arein precisely the same words, founded on the Tennemsee arfang,ement, mature ly considered by the 'President and approved by the Cabinet, showing a carefully considered plan, the armies ty proclamation being in accord with that document. • - Tho President, it is known from the representations of his intimate friends, is determined to pursue substantially the reconstruction programme thus laid down, having reasonable evidence froth the South that it will be successful. •Many of the accounts from that section are exaggerated, and misrepresent the true and favorable condition of public opinion„ nes-Major Dick .11160ann, formerly of the rebel army, and . who:made hinv soli cOnSpicißnis-'as eavalry leader . in Toneessee, WAS arrested on the 14th, on a charge of being' a member of the court martial which hungseveral 'Uni on citizens at 'Knoxville, during the war.
