Declination.
To the Union : voters of Huntingdon
county :
Your late convention nominated me
for. Associate Judge." I was greatly
flattered by, was truly grateful for,
and have a right to be proud of the
compliment.
A war for national life has justclosed.
All men had taken sides for or against
our Government. I was among its
friends. My influence and my means
were cheerfully given to aid it, and
encourage her soldiers, when assailed
by armed traitors in the field, or their
cowardly allies in, the Noith. Every
loyal man knows how much wo owe
the memory of the many brave men
who fell, and their more fortunate
comrades who returned, for their faith
and valor. I was second to no one in
the ardor of my attachment to the
cause of my country, and io my devo
tion to the interest of our soldiers.—
My life has been misspent if I have
failed to convince my friends that I do
notprofess one thing, and live another.
Had a soldier's name been before the
Convention for this office, I could not
then, and therefore can not now, stand
in the way of a trtio soldier's success.
Informed to-day that ANTHONY J.
BEAV.EIt, a soldier of the whole war, a
man who through four long years
without a doubt or fear mot his coun
try's enemy in the field and gave the
lie to that infamous slander by their
foes at home, that "the war was a fail.
tiro," asks, as a, honest means to aid
him, your suffrages for the same place,
I at once declare that I will not be in
the way of such a soldier's success, and
hereby publicly decline the nomina
tion of Associate Judge, and return My
thanks to my- many personal friends
for their kind assurances of their sup
port. .I shall be exceedingly gratified
if the. Union County ,Committee will
place file name on the ticket in my
stead. THOS. FISHER.
Huntingdon, Sept. 2, 1865.
Mr. Thomas Fisher.
We publish Mr. Fisher's declination
as the Union candidate for Associate
Judge. It speaks for itself. It speaks
the honest sentiments of an honest
friend of a worthy , soldier. It speaks
the. honest sentiments of the Union
party of the county, and Mr. Fisher
may well feel proud of having such an
opportunity offered him to prove to
the world that ho is .a friend indeed of
the bkve men who have saved our
country.
Sergt. Anthony J.` Beaver.
We publish in another column a card
from Sergt. Beaver, of Penn township,
anncenicing himself as an independent
Union candidate for Associate Jadgo.
Every reader of the card must come
to tho conclusion that there is no more
worthy man lives in the county, and
we shall take the liberty of placing his
name upon the ticket at the, head of
this column, in place of Mr. Fisher who
has declined. Mr. Beaver is not only
worthy, but is also fully competent to
fill the post. Ile has been represented
to us by gentlemen who haie known
him from boyhood as being an extra
good man. Sergt. Beaver lost his
right arm in an engagement with the
enemy near Bristow Station, but his
manuscript card before us is the best
evidence that he is more expert with
the pen in Ws left band than most busi
noes men are with it in their right.
Mr. Beaver will most certainly be
Fleeted without opposition.
tal.A. dispatch from Chicago says
that a startling and murderous plot to
release all the prisoners in the Illinois
Vrison at Joliet has been discovered
and frustrated.
The Banner County in the State.
Huntingdon county is the banner
Union county in the State. The party
throughout the State professed friend

to take care of them when the coun%
try should 'be saved, the war over,
and they return home. Many coun
ties have placed ono, two or three sol
diers hinomination for offices,' but old
Huntingdon has done the clear thing
by presenting to.the voters solid
Soldiers' ticket. Look at the ticket:
• For Assembly we have Private

faithfully in the field. But three aro

For Associate Judge we have Sorgt.

For County Surveyor we have Pri

The above is our ticket. Every man
worthy and fully competent to fill
tho office for which he is named. If
the Opposition organization can put in
nomination men for the purpose of de
feating the "banner ticket" the people
will bo compelled to come to the con
clusion that that organization has a
strange way of showing its friend.
ship for the deserving soldior.
THE APPROACH OP. THE CHOLERA.--
Intelligence brought by the steamers
plying between American and Euro
pean ports, indicates the steady ad
vance of the cholera westward, and
portrays the fearful ravages the dis
ease is making wherever it takes hold
of a population. Indeed, the Govern-
Monts of Europe have never exhibited
like alarm on any subject, and if the
apprehensions of the authorities in the
old world are to be taken as an esti
mate of the force and virulence of the
disease, the people and authorities in
the now world have just cause to be
aroused to such precautionary ,meas
ures as are impossible when general
alarm spreads panic in the community.
The local authorities in the country
should at onco take hold of the mat
ter, and interest themselves properly
in the sanitary condition of their mun •
icipalities. Let us not postpone the
preeaution of cleanliness until the
scourge has made its appearance on
our shoos. And lot the people in each
town, borough, and city at once go to
work for the renovation of the alleys,
lanes and streets thereof, the authori
ties in the meanwhile adopting and
I enforcing such measures as will compel
the people to cleanliness.
• THE week following our delegate
elections, the Monitor had an editorial
of nearly a column in length on the
election in this place. They were de
lighted, for they thought they saw in
the result a certain defeat of a soldier
ticket. Then, too, the editors of the
Journal & American, felt good over the
result, and where you find thern in a
local contest against us you aro sure
to find the Monitor faction. But the
County Convention changed the ap
pearance of things,—the Jour. & Am.
men were - defeated and wont mad, and
the Monitor men having a fellow feeh

rity. A resolution was passed for a
Grand Union Mass Meeting, at Wil
ianisport, during the holding of the
State Fair.
COINCIDENCE.-It may interest tho'cu
rious to know.that the two rival polit-
ical candidates for Surveyor General are
residents of the same town; that they
are both members of the Town Coun
cil; that they were each candidates of
there respective parties for State Sen
ator in the 22d district; that they were
both out in the three months service—
Linton as captain and Campbell as lieu
tenant; that they together raised a reg
iment, and that each in succession
commanded it.
Div- Robberies and murders are said
now to be of frequent occurrence on
Texan frontier—so frequent that the
columns of the newspapers are filled
with accounts of them. The people
of the interior are getting . along well
enough, however, and in six counties
haVe already publicly submitted to the
Union. IThe condition of the freedmen
is satisfactory. They are rapidly adap•
ting themselves, we suppose, to their
new life.
Speech of Maj.-Gen. Ha rtranft.
The people of Norristown, last week,
serenaded the Hero of Fort Steadman,
now the Union candidate for Auditor
General. After a congratulatory speech
by Benjamin F. Hancock, Gen. Hart
remit responded to the calls of thepeople
as follows:
"My FELLOW-OrrizENs : I thank you
most sincerely for this compliment W . -
night: It assures me that you.ondorse
my past public life and that I hold your
confidence and support in the public
contest soon to be inaugurated. I also
thank you Mr. Hancock, for the kind
mention of my military history. Of
this I will not speak nor detain you
but a moment. .
"Asa soldier I feel it my duty to give
my humble aid to the great party which
has during the rebellion so nobly sup
ported the Government in the struggle
for its existence and national honor.
It put forth its strong arm and assisted
the Government in filling our depleted
ranks. If this had not been done we'
would still be digging in front of
Petersburg, or perhaps been compelled
to accept a dishonorable peace. To do
this in a righteous cause would have
been a disgrace to every soldier. If the
soldier is true to himself he must be
true to the Union party. His pension
list, his bounty for his early enlist
ment, his right of suffrage, his protec
tion through life, all appeal to him.
"I need not say that every effort
should be made now to protect and
encourage labor. You weaunderstand
that it is the wealth of the nation. And,
while this is so, also from patriotic
considerations sco that the returned
soldier is honorably employed. It is
the highest favor that Can be bestowed
upon him or his country.—He will
then soon forgot his camp life and be•,
come an industrious and prosperous
citizen.
"The military power of the rebellion
is crushed, I may say forever, and the
nation looms up amidst the ruins more
grand and powerful than it over seem
ed before. But remember the spirit of
rebellion . is still alive and must be
most carefully 'guarded. Lot it bo
shorn of all political power, for in that
is concealed all its strength and dan
ger.
- "I hope soon to see the immense
armies of the North and South enga
ged in civil and peaceful pursuits, all
adding their energy .to restore our
happy, glorious country to its former
wealth and prosperity. Allow me
again to return my thanks for your
compliment."
AFFAIRS IN MEX . ICO.A New York
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press gives the following: description
of the situation in Mexico : Intelli
gence, upon which I fear full reliance
can be placed, impels me to state that
the Imperialists have forced the army
of the Republicans from the Rio
Grande, and aro now occupying the
whole country, with the exception of a
small portion of Chihuahua, in which
Juarez and his government wore at last
accounts attempting to make a last
stand. My informant, who is a Mexi
can gentleman of high character, has
no doubt that the intelligence is cor
rect. The retreat of the Mexicans was
rather a panic than otherwise. By a
vessel which- has just arrived from
Guaymas, I have the statement which,
taken into connection with the above,
looks as if the movement of the French
was a simultaneous one. Guaymas is
a seaport of the State of Sonora, in
LoWor California, on the Gulf of that,
name, and is now held by the French,
who have recently tightened their bold
on that important maritime point.
Taking advantage of our war with
Treason, Louis Napoleon pushed his
forces into that province, and has now
quite a naval force in the harbor,
which is one of the best on the West
ern coast of Mexico. Whether Juarez
will be enabled to recover I cannot
tell. Ido not think he can: And I
will not; therefore, be surprised if ho
should try to obtain entrance into the
friendly territories of the United States.
Quoting still further from my infor
mant : "We cannot be too grateful to
Mr. Seward for keeping us out of this
complication. Had ho not acted from
the first with more than caution, with
almost prescience, wo should now have
our own groat triumph over the pro
slavery insurgents diminished proba
bly by our connection with the defeat
ed Mexicans, and involved, through
the mad counsels of plotting politicians
and bravo but impulsive soldiers, in
what might have widened into the
European war." The Mexicans them:
selves—even the most ardent in the
cause of the Republic—fully appreciate
the noble action of our Government.
They know that many of the -Mexi
cans, alas ! too many, have been op
preached and really seduced by French
money, .and that with theconjoined
power of England, in a naval alliance
with Franco, American interposition
would not have saved them from the
direful catastrophe. What with Santa
Aliba's early and entire surrender,
and the cooperation of Miramon, and
the poVerty of the people; and the in
fluence of the clergy, it was impossible
for them-to hold out." MONTEZUMA.
fie-Washington city seems becalm
ed. During the summer months all
who could got away have gone North,
and but few have returned. The im
mense armies congregated here-a few
weeks ago have disappeared. Tho
herd of office seekers have vanished for
a time. The delegations of various
kinds -which erstwhile seemed likely to
bo interminable, have flown. Even
the "reconstructionists" and pardon
seekers have so thinned out that they
are now the exception instead of the
rule on tho Avenue pavement and in
the hotel halls. No such quiet has
boon known hero since April, 1861.
One of the last regiments remaining
here, passed down the Avenue, home
ward bound, on Saturday. People
hurried down the side streets and clus
tered on the corners at the sound of
its bugles. Formerly a dozen battal
ions might march through and the
passers by would scarcely deign to turn
their heads.— Wash. Cor.
se-Advices from the Mexican bor
der to the 19th represent that a curi
ously fraternal state of affairs exists

Grande and certain dignitaries of the
Maximilian Government, who it seems
have been hobnobbing together and
toasting each other in true conVivial
style.- Our generals are reported to

cotrnty, with encouraging prospects:
Horse Sale.--A sale of 150' Govern
ment horses is advertised to be held.at

nior editor of the Altoona Tribune has
purchased.a-farm four miles from Mif,

take" for a printer, and is a sign of
prosperity. . .
Coal Discovered.-:-Coal has been dis
covered in Perry county, on a farm of
Job Harker, in Horse Valley, Toboyno
tow❑ship. It is said to he a vein of
about three feet in thickness of hard
