6-I,crbc. rrUNTINGDON, PA. NA/. Lewis, Editor and Proprietor Hugh Lindsay, Associate Editor. Wednesday morning, Aug. 15,1866. FOR GOVERNOR, Maj. Gen. John W. Geary, OF-CUMBERLAND COUNTY - Tho'National Union Convention is now in session in Philadelphia. flow long it will continuo in session has not been determined upon, but - from the amount of business it is expected to transact, and the number of speeches to be made, wo cannot look for an ad journment Until tho close of the week. Delegates have boon chosen from all parts of 'the Union. Some of these during the war belonged to the party which opposed tho war, while all have joined in council to try to make right what - war has made wrong, and to unite in•averting the.threatoning dan gers of tho present evils. If the Con vention tends by its action to form a bond of perpetual union between the North and South r what truly Union men will not feel thankful.. That Con- Veiition hati met to prevent the dis memberment of the Uuion as threat ened by the Radicals- 7 that Convention has met to preserve tho Constitution and the Union,—its primary object being to reconcile the South with the North. Radical men denounce such a Convention. They do not desire any such reconciliation, and they stand distinct and apart from those who de sire to see this Union firmly united. Their object is revenge and they will not deal magnanimously with a con quered enemy. The Radicals, in a - word, wish to keep the Southern men enemies, while the Conservatives wish to make thorn friends. Should the Convention fail to accom plish such a desirable object, we can be no - worse off than we now are. Should it be found that partizans have gone there to work in the interests of their party, we have no fear but that the more • honest of the delegates will si lence them. Nothing should be listen ed to and nothing should be done, but what - will advance the interests and insure the blessings of peace and har mony to our whole country. Dien who will work forindividual interests have no business at the Natienal Conven tion. We _trust the Convention will not have adjourned without conferring a blessing on tho country—such a blesiting as the' country now stands in need nf. "r" • Dots THE :HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH shoot, inits: aturday issue, says : "While. the . necessity of electing Geary is appreciated, we want our loy al friends not to forget that the larger we make Geary's majority, the sterner will be the rebuke administered to Andrew Johnson. * * * * We accept this as an issue. We want it: clearly understood, while the loyal men of Pennsylvania aro laboring to;reWard a gallant soldier by electing him Governori•they aro also battling to...administer a rebuke to Andrew Johnson; and pasis such judgment on his faithleSsnessas will forever consign his name to disgrace." We don't for a moment supppso that the Telegraph speaks the sentiments of Gon. Goar3 - r. Still, tho fact that the Telegraph, the. State organ at Harris burg, haa made tho issno, may have the effeet to - cause 'Johnson's friends to ask for further information. As Johnson now stands, Gen. Geary,. or any of his true friends, would certainly not ho so foolish as to raise an issue such as the Telegraph proposes. No Johnson man could vote for Geary to-day on the is• sue proposed. None but radicals could support, him. Such support as the Telegraph gives Gen: Geary will de feat him. RIDGE' CURTIS' LETTER.-W 0 place on the first page of to-day's paper the letter of Judge Curtis in answer to the national committee on the subject of the convention now being held in Phil adelphia. It - will be remembered that Judge Curtis dissented from the decis ion of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case, and his opinion thereon has eVer since been used as a sort of Re publican•taxt book. This letter to Mr. Browning deserves a careful perusal. Hon: George .Ashcum, President of the Convention that met at Chicago, in 1860; and- put' 'Abraham Lincoln in nomination for President, is a delegate in' the Philadelphia ,Convention, with many others of the most distinguished members of the old Republican party.

Curiosities of Politics, The following article which .we clip from the editorial columns of the Pitts burgh chronicle, a Republican papor, Svc recommend for the perusal of Re publicans in this county. It speaks truths the very earnest friends of Gen Geary should liAon to : It certainly must strike a few peo. plc as a little curious that at the Re publican meetings held over the coun try, the issue seems to be made up be tweon the party and the President, rather than between the party and its rival, the :Democracy. Nearly every Republican speaker occupies his time in canvassing the merits or demerits of President Johnson. That functionary, wo believe, still considers himself con nected with the party. His appoint ments are made from its ranks, and notwithstanding 'rumors to the con trary, his consultations are chiefly held with gentlemen styling themselves Republicans: It is evident that ward and. Stanton regard him as in proper fellowship with the party: The Demoerats got nothing from him but Social recognition, and within a very Short time a leading politician of that persuasion froM Ohio, was denied a conference by the President, the deni al-being accompanied by the signifi cant ejaculation, "The Lord deliver the country from all such men." It is not then, at first glance, a mat ter of some wonderment that a Presi dent who declines to bo ruled out of the party, and who, so far as all sub stantial favors aro concerned, , * b ives' the cold shoulder to persons of otlier poli tical organizations should be an ob je so much animadversion from mar ers of the party to which he ac knowledges allegiance. It would re ally seem as if the coming elections are to determine, not whether the Repub licans or the Democrats shall control the policy of the country, but whether Andrew Johnson shall be endorsed or rebuked by the people. We are net sure that the Republi can Union party of this nation, is wise in making such an issue. We have never believed that the disagreement between the majority in Congress and the President .was an irreconcilable one. Upon many matters, they aro in thorough accord. And they do not differ more essentially upon the single question of representation, than the anti-Johnson men differ amongst them selves upon the question of negro suf frage. Mr. Greeley's plan of - adjust ment reiterated week after week, is "Universal Amnesty for Universal Suf frage." The majority in Congress do not accept this basis of settlement, but Mr. Greeley is not ruled out of the par ty nor is ho denounced on the. stump. Would it not be as well, to extend the same courtesy to the Chief Magistrate of the nation ? Is it not a reasonable presumption that the man who was so true, during the dark days of the rebellion, and who proved his devo. tion by so many sacrifices, is still loy :al iu feeling, and if mistaken in senti ment is at least instigated by no sinis ter motives or dangerous designs? To put the matter in a more . direct and practical shape, is it, as a mere feature of party tactics, a prudent course to make abuse of the man the party put . uriMl37 -4 1ntrfitt not be wiser to go before tho.peoplo on the merits of the posiion the party has through its rep resentatives in Congress taken, than to hazard serious alienations by in vectives against the President ? There is such a thing as loading a gun so heavily; that the recoil is near ly as fatal as the discharge, and the imputations cast upon the President by prothinent speakers are so very se rious that thopeople will be apt to re ject even those charges which have foundation. There are abundant ques tions relating to revenue, our foreign policy and the relation of the States to the general Government, as well as the obligations of government towards the class whom it has enfranchiSed, upon which the two great political or ganizations of the country differ, and upon which they can debate and try the ordeal, of the ballot. With such a legitimate field for controversy, we cannot see the judgment of making tho PreSident the main object of anta gonism, and much less do we deem the .prudonce of calling him an apostate and traitor in public meetings. The record of the Republican party during the war is its best credential when it goes before the people. It need not embarrass its strong position by internal quarrels. If, however, it will be insisted upon, that the great issue is the admission of the Southern States and that the President and Congress are at such utter variance on this sub ject that it must be brought into the canvass before the people, let the de bate be conducted with a little degree of propriety, and let us have an and to the very violent aspersions of charac ter that have signalized the opening of the campaign. Republicans can do better work than abusing each other. Such a course only furnishes ammuni tion for outside organizations. laa'Soldiers, disabled by wounds or disease, who have been honorably dis charged from the volunteer service of the United States, who desire a home in the United StateS:Military Asylum, arc requested to make application pro vious to September "Ist, with a state ment of the circumstances of their cn• listment, services, disability and dis charge to Major General Edward W.

Northumberland County in Motion, Great Union Sohnson Meeting in Sun bury. A very largo and enthusiastic John son meeting was hold in Sunbury on the 7th inst. The largo and elegant now court house was packed to over flowing, with Lincoln-Johnson Repub licans. The meeting was organized by that firm, whig, and Re publican, S. B. Boyer, Esq. Dr. Robt. McCoy, of Northumberland—the firm and- unflinching friend of Abraham Lincoln, was made President of the meeting. Me mado a short address, after which, he introduced Maj. C. Shriner, of Union county, the Lincoln Elector of this district in 1861. Sir. Shriner made one of the most powerful speeches ever made in this county. lie spoke over two hours, amid great enthusiasm, and applause. At the close, tho following resolu tions were offered by Mr. Shriner, and unanimously adopted: WIIEREAS, President Lincoln did, on the Bth day of December, 1863, put forth a solemn proclamation, contain ing his plan of reconstruction in which ho said, that "whenever in any of the States in rebellion, a number of' per sons not lesS than one-tenth in number of the qualified voters by the election laws of said State, each having taken the oath of allegiance, shall form a State government Republican in form, &c. Snob shall be recognized as the true government of that State, and be defended and protected by the power of the United States." And whereas. Abraham Lincoln did further, after the rebellion was sub stantially at an end, and but three day sbefore his assassination,to-wi t: on the 11th of April, 1865, ro assert and re-argue said plan of reconstruction, at length, and with great ability and power. And whereas, The Union National Convention of Baltimore in 1864 did indorse said plan of reconstruction against the "protesr of Mr. Thaddeus Stevens, by a vote of 492 against 27 ; therefore, Resolved. First—That we consider the good faith-of the nation—and especially the good faith of our party, which support ed Mr. Lincolnas pledged to that plan of reconstruction which looks to the restoration of the Union, "with all the rights, dignity and equality of the several ;States, unimpaired." Second—That wo regard the plan of Thaddeus Stevens and others, to hold eleven States as conquered provinces, as at open war with the doctrines pro claimed by Congress on the 21st of July, 1861; at war with Mr. Lincoln's reconstruction plan of December Bth, 1863; and especially hostile and disre spectful to Mr. Lincoln's last great speech of April 11th, 1865. Third—That since the Southern States have laid down their arms, abolished slavery, adopted the constitutional amendment prohibiting it—done all Mr. Lincoln required them to do—the promises of Mr. Lincoln, to restore the Union and defend and protect the States in all their rights, dignity and equality should he held sacred, and carried out in good faith. Fourth—That to hold olevon States by force, as England holds Ireland,or as A. ,g 4141 , 119.1415,..J . d as Russia the promises we made to the world from the beginning to the end of the war—would require vast standing ar mies, result in a despotic government, and entail untold debt, misery and bondage on us and our children. Fall—That Andrew Johnson is stri ving to carry out the principles and redeem the pledges of Abraham Lin coln, to protect the people from the dangers and encroachments of a cen tralized despotism, and that his name will forever stand with those of Wash ington., Jackson and Lincoln. Sixth—That lion. Edgar Cowan, our talented and lion-hearted Senator, for standing by Andrew 'Johnson as Benton stood by Jackson, has won for himself immortal honor; and when the storm and whirlwind of fanaticism has gone by, all true patriots will hail the names of Johnson and Cowan as they now delight to honor-those of Jackson and Benton. Seventh—That we hereby concur in and ratify the election of Dr. Robt. .f_cCoy, of Northumberland, and F. M. llackenbury, of Snyder county, as the Union Republican delegates to the 14-th of August Convention, from the Fourteenth Congressional district. The New Beauty Law. The Official copy of the act of Con gress authorizing the payment of ad ditional bounty, published in General orders, No. 55, from the War Depart ment, removes all ambiguity from the second clause of the bill, and clearly defines the object. Section thirteen provides that every soldier who enlist ed after April 19, 1861, who served faithfully for two years, was honorably discharged, and who was not entitled to receive more than one hundred dol lars bounty from the United States, shall be paid the additional bounty of fifty dollars. The form of application to be made by the heirs of deceased soldiers to the 2d Auditor, to obtain the additional bounty, will be the same as that hitherto used in applications for arrears of pay and bounty, except that the number of tho previous settlement should be given. It should be stated that the object of the application is to recover the additional bounty providod by the 12th and. 13 th sections of the act of congress,chapterl7B,approvedJuly 23, 18Gii,and the claimantshould make oath as to identity, andthedischarge papers have not been disposed of in any man ner whatever by the soldier who re ceived them. It is not believed that payment of the additional bounty can begin for some months to come, as the funds for tho purpose have not yet been placed to the order of the Pay master General, and the rules and reg ulations to govern the payments fix ing the amount of evidence which will be necessary to establish .a claim ; providing a system upon which the disbursements will be made, are yet to be adopted by the Commission appointed by the War Department for that purpose. The Commission is now in session, and is composed of the fol lowing officers : Major General Can by, Brevet Major General Barnes, Sur geon and Brevet Major General Bueh onan, Colonel First United states In fantry. Five messages over the Cable from New lork cost in gold. Report of Generals Steadman and Ful lertom WAsurNoToN, August 10. In closing their report to the Presi dent, Generals Steadman and Fuller ton conclude as follows : "The system of contracts now ex isting in the South and enforced by the Freedmen's Bureau, is simply sla very in a now form. What is the dif ference to the negro whether he is sold for five dollars or five thousand dollars, for thirty years to thirty roasters or for thirty,years to one master. It is involuitriry servi tude in either case and a defeat of the emancipation proclamation of the la mented President Lincoln. If the freedman leaves work to seek employ ment at better wages ho is arrested as a vagrant by order of the . Freedmen's Bureau and put to labor on the roads with ball and chain, as is provided by an order recently issned by General Soot t, Assistant Commissioner for South Carolina. If, fatigued from over work, he desires to rest for a day; if ho leaves the plantation-to visit a lative or friend it is made a penal of fonco,.and a fine of fifty dollars is im posed, as will be seen by. circular No. 14 of General Kiddoo, Assistant Com missioner for Texas, a copy of which is hereunto annexed, marked E. If ho refuses to contract at all, ho is arrested by the Bureau Provost Marshall, and sold for a few dollars to the nearest planter, as in.. the case of Captain Morse, of New ()deans, already refer red to. The coercive policy adopted by tho Bureau, in this and other re spects, has boon made a justification for the discriminating legislation of some of the Southern States. The on ly remedy against a white man for a breach of conduct, is a suit for dama ges, and wo can - see no reason why the same remedy. ahould not bo ap plied in the case of the black man. The freedman has nothing to sell but his labor, and we are strongly of the opinion that he ought to be permitted to obtain for it the highest price it will bring. If he is a free man it is neither just nor lawful for any person to as sume control of him, and certainly not more just or lawful for an officer of the Freedmen's Bureau to do so than for a Southern planter. Very respectfully your obedient ser vant. JAS. B. STEADMAN, Major General of Volunteers. J. F. FULLERTON, Brigadier Gou.of Volunteers, Wash ington. Hundred Hours Awake and Walking. The Portsmouth (N. II.) Journal says that Mr. John Seaver, of that place, for a wager of 8500, last Thurs day, commenced walking ono hundred miles in as many consecutive hours. How ho was effected is thus related : On Wednesday afternoon. at the close of the first twenty-four hours, he became weary and felt a stronger dis position to sleep than ho afterwards experienced. This was driven off, but the effort produced a severe head ache, which continued through the re maining days. On Thursday he felt drowsy, but was so excited ho would ait down without napping. Every hour the circuiting the room forty-two ranging f'iom twenty to thirty.minutes. On that morning ho began to be dis couraged, and expressed a wish to abandon further effort. His advisor persuaded him, and ho renewed his ef forts, and, as ho expressed it, with a determined will to succeed. Friday, tho third day, ho was more wakeful, his nervous excitement hav ing increased—probably by the strong tea, which was his only.bovorage. His head was bandaged and bathed with rum and alum frequently. He stumbled froM weakness and weariness, but got up without help. Saturday, the fourth and last day, was one of weariness, aching limbs, aching head and prostra tion. Ho required to bO supported as ho went his hourly rounds. In the ninety-ninth hour he again fell in faint ness. The last hour at length arrived, and with his assistants ho 'completed his fort"-two circuits in thirty-three minutes. Ho,now. received fresh en ergy from the'idea that ho had accom plished his feat,' and, unaided, ho lit erally dragged his limbs once more around the hall, to show that he was awake, and amid the cheers of a largo audience, ho retired after nine o'clock. Ile did not reeovpr from the sink ness that ensued for several days. , L.- -, ;-The growth of Methodism in the INiew England States appears from the report of a• Comniittoo to the recent New England Methodist Episcopal Convention at Boston. There aro 101,000 members of this branch of the Christian Church in the eastern States; 110,000 Sunda•; scholars; 370,000 li brary books. The denomination hold about the same number as in 1860. There are 910 churches, and 430 par sonages. The total value of these, di vided, would give to each communi cant forty dollars. The denomination own 13 educational institutions, with 113 instructors and 3,008 pupils. In 1330 the relative proportion of lfeiho• disks to the population wits one in two hundred; in 1860 it was one in twenty nine. The increases of population in Boston. since 1850 has been 40 per cent that of Methodism 43 per cent; Bap' 12 per cent; Congregationalists 7 per cent. The population, of Boston and suburbs in that time has increased 58 per cent; Methodists, 67 per cent; Congregationalists, 39 per cent; Bap tists, 29 per cent. DEATII FROM A FALL OVER A MELON RIND. find the following in tho Norfolk Old Dominion of Friday : "Yesterday morning, at about 8 o'clock, Mrs. Elizabeth Young, a lady of GO years of age, while on the •side walk in front of the dry goods estab• lishment of Messrs. Sheldner, Wertho• finer k, Co., stepped on a muskmelon rind, which, slipping, caused her to fall. She was immediately lifted, and taken to the back room of the store mentioned, and a physician canon in. Dr. James D. Galt camo immediately but found the lady in a moribund con dition. It is suppOsed that fi h o fell on her head and side, and that concussion of the brain ensued, Convulsions fol lowed her fall to the pavement, and she died in a comatose condition." We publish the above as a solemn warning to persons in this place who are in the habit of throwing melon rinds and seeds upon the sidewalks It is exceedingly clangerotti and should he in: o a punishable offense. Who Get the Bounty The Act of Congress approved July 28, 1866, gives $lOO additional bounty to all soldiers who enlisted for three years and worn discharged by reason of expiration of term of service, or who were discharged for wounds received in battle and who have not received more than $lOO bounty for such ser vice. An additional bounty of $lOO is also allowed to the nearest relative of Soldiers who enlisted for a term of three years and who died or were kill ed in the service, to be paid inie fol lowing.order First to the widow; se cond to the children; third to the fath er, and fourth to the mother.

INCREDIBLE 111.EmmEss.—An incident of the Portland fire is told by the Press of that city, which says We hoar of a creature in this city, which walks on two legs and wears a coat i and resembles a man. In fact, and tra'tlics in a small—very Bsmall way. On the night of the fire his neighbors helped to save his property, while the whole opposite side of the street was burned down. His clerk, who lived directly opposite, labored indefatigably for his employer while his father's house and his own effects were going to ashes. Until four o'clock in the morning they kept the shop wet, and by unremitting efforts saved 'it and the house in the roar of it. After Working all night in an atmosphere of flame and cinders ; men aro sometimes thirsty. These men wore thirsty, and inquired of the creature whose house and shop they had saved it ho had any water ? "No." Any small beer ? "No. The clerk, who knew bettor, went down to the ice chest, pulled out sev eral bottles of Bindle's mild beverage, found in the pan a little water, tolera bly clean, which had drained from the ice, mingled with it sugar and sliced lemons, and dispensed those cooling drinks to the deserving crowd. Next day this extravagant youth, on return ing to his duties,found charged to hi m,on the books of the concern, four bottles of beer, one pound of sugar and four lemons. His place is now vacant. Enterprising young men who want a situation may apply at this office for further information. TIII3 Eurcvs or ORA RLESTON—Thus far, but little effort has been made to wards rebuilding the burnt district of Charleston, South Carolina ' chiefly be cause a majority of the old property owners are without means to under take it. An attempt, however, is to be made, by a concerted action of the citi zens, under the authority of tho city government. A proposition has been introduced into tho Charleston City Councils, by which, if adoptod, seven per eent..bonds will be • issued. by the city, and loaned to all property hold ers who wish to rebuild. The basis of the arrangement is a mortage of the ground and buildings upon it to the city. Ha lot is worth $lO,OOO and the owner wishes to build a store, upon it costing $15,000, bonds to the latter amount aro to be loaned to him, ho giving the city a mortage on his lot and tho buildings to be erected upon it as security. Ho olso binds himself to pay the interest on the bonds scmi ammally, nr advanco, and in order to get money to erect his buildings ; must soil his bonds whenever ho can. Some such method as this, by which the credit of the community is loaned to the individual, seems imperatively necessary to the rebuilding of the burnt district of Charleston.
