STEWART, ROBERT McDIVITT, Secretary. THE Pitteburgh Dispatch makes up the following State ticket : Rutan for Govern or, Don Cameron U. S. Senator, and J. F. Hartrauft for President. THE Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette says : "Instead of 300 locomotives destroy ed there were but 103, ar.l about 1,000 freight cars instead of 3,000." SINCE the strike is over the daily news paper business is - not so remunerative They are waiting for something else to come to the surface. W HAT iS wanted is an anti monopolist party, in which every laborer, mechanic, farmer and business man can meet and fra ternize. Their interests are identical. liciLLIDAI, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Virginia, was a Colonel in the Rebel army until he lost his PPm, wnen he went into the Rebel Congress and re mained there until the close. THE Democrats have been extremely quiet in this county. If Mr. Do Armies call for a Convention were not published in the Monitor we would scarcely beiieve that there was a Democratic party in our midst. TELE Philadelphia Tinzes thinks it was cowardice in the Maine Republicans re fusing to take action in regard to the Pres ident's policy. We have no doubt the Tim's would fain have had it so, but the Pine Tree people were too politic for that. THE office of importance to be selected in Philadelphia at the approaching Novem ber elution, is District Attorney There arc quite e. nuroher of prominent gentle men named for the place. B. Harris Brewster is likely to be the lucky man. THERE are a number of efforts being made to organize Workingmen's parties which it seems to ns is not exactly the thing. Workingmen as a class can accom plish but little in politics. What we want is au anti-monopoly party that will take in every one but the monopolists. GEN. H. M. HOYT, Chairman of the Republican State Committee, while trav eling by stage near Del Norte, Colorado, met with an accident by the breaking down of a wheel, whereby he had his ankle broken. Several other passengers were injured. HEREAFTER the International Exhibi tion at Philadelphia will be opened on Sunday, the new President, Mr. Morton, having decided the lung mooted question. It is a magnificent affair, but up to thiti time it has been non-remunerative. We hope the President will infuse new life into it. THERE are a dozen or so of candidates for Sheriff. All of them good men, but they cannot all be nominated. Let the defeated candidates take the matter philo sophically, and remember that there will be half a score of others to keep them company. If defeated, pull off your coats and roll up your sleeves and never cease stvorking until the election won. THAT great "moral monstrosity," Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, pastor of Plymouth church, recently delivered a sermon to his flock, in which he said "a dollar a day was enough to buy bread for a large family," and that -a uiar► who cannot lice on bread and water, is not fit to live ;" yet this old moral leper pockets his cool 820,000 a year from his congregation, an►l as Wadi more fron► his lectures, and has the hardi hood to stand up and say that the laboring classes should live on bread and water. Such sentiments deserve the severest cen sure, and their author should be consigned to oblivion. Had the "gay and festive" Beecher been in Pittsburgh, during the recent trouble there, and wade use of such language, his fat and sleek carcass would havo dangled from a lamp-post. God save the country from such expounders of the Christian religion. EDITOR GEN. SHERIDAN does not regard the railroad question as settled. The riot is over, for the present, and the work of transportation has been resumed, but the great question at issue between the rail roads and their men, still remains an open one. The great issue, whether the rail roads shall charge but half price on through freights and double prico on local freights, and whether what they lose in an insane competition with Gno another shall be made up by reducing the wages of em ployees, remains to be adjusted. It re mains to be seen whether there is good sense enough, on both sides, to adjust it on equitable grounds. NATHANIEL HORNE, ESQ., of Johns- town, Pa., has announced himself as an Independent candidate for Prothonotary of Cambria county. Mr. Horne has been an efficient work r for the Democracy for many years, and yet he is not sufficiently identified with the county ring to succeed in making nominations. He is, however, a favorite of the people and will in all probability be elected, provided the Re- Publicans do not nominate a candidate fur that office. THE Maine Republican Convention gave the President's policy the go-bye. This was expected. It would be ruinous to the Republican party anywhere, with the dif ference of opinion which exists in regard to this matter, to approve or condemn. There are many good men who approve of the President's course, while there are, perhaps, three times as many who do not. It was wisdom to do what the convention did, and we hope that Pennsylvania will follow suit. ON next Saturday evening the Repub licans will meet at their respective polling places for the purpose of selecting dele gates to attend their Convention on Wednes day next. We do hope that the delegates will be composed of good and honest men. The only way to accomplish this is for ev ery good Republican to attend the Dele gate election. We want a ticket that will give entire satisfaction. If this is not done there will be a bad row of stumps to over come at the polls. 4 2 3 QUITE a controversy has sprung up be tween Hon. Carl Schurtz and Hon. W. H. limble in regard to paying the form er for campaign services. What of it? Suppose Mr. Schanz was paid, ho is not the only man that has been paid fbr like services. There is no necessity in Mr. Schurtz being sensitive upon the point. Chairman THE Philadelphia Sunday Times, Col. Taggart's paper, "speaks right ont in meet ing' in regavd to the great corporations and their shortcomings. It is refreshing to find a Philadelphia paper, and especially one so popular as the Sunday Times, talk as it does. The anti-monopolists need no better organ. COL. FITZOKRALD, of the Philadelphia City Item, has pummelled away at Gen". Collis, until it seems that the aforesaid lit tle gentleman has gone into the back ground, and that he will not represent the old Quarter Sessions Ring in the District Attorney's office, after the first of January next. Our New York Letter. New YORK, July 15, 1577. The True Inwardness of the Strike—The Trouble not yet Over—The Effect of the Strike on Busi ness—Labor Troubles in the Ci'y—Criute. THE TRUE INWARDNERS 01' TH.7 ITRIKE. I went to Ludlow street jsil, last week, to see Donahue, the leader of the strikers on the Erie road. He is a man of considerable intelligence, and was fitted by nature for a leader. He is not one of the kind who want their , mployers to di vide with theta, but he does insist that business shall be so adjusted that the operative can live in something like comfort. Donahue says tliat the average that the men make is from $25 to $3O per month, and that the cost of living in Hornellsville is higher than in New York. For instance, flour is fr.x $10.50 to $ll ; butter, 32 cents ; beef, 23 et,i_ts; bro—n sugar, 12 cents ; coffee, 38 and 40 cents, and ny decent tea from 80 cents to $1.25 a pound. Rents are terribly high there. $25 per n., , nth is extorted for common frame houses of from eight to ten small rooms. Those who, when wages wei eater, had purchased property, were losing it b . ; .be reduction; and what ground them more, the wages had been screwed down to such a point that a workman under the best circumstances was debarred from everything of a social nature. Ile could not take newspapers or buy a book, he could not pay dues to a lodge or a church, or su dress his wife and children that they could attend church or anythi- , else improving. The company had even go so far as to charge the employees with rent for the waste land beside the track, which was formerly allowed them as a perquisite. Donahue admits that the strike was a failure, but says that some good will grow out of it. THE TROUBLIS 18 NOT TB? OVER, For there can be no doubt that the workingmen are suffering, and that the companies have not dealt with the question in a liberal spirit. It is true that the roads are making nothing, and that the stock-holders are missing their regular divi dends, bu' _h%t it is so is the fault of the manage ment. If they would keep up freights to a paying figure instead of cutting each other's throats, and more especially if they would drop all nonsense in style, cut down the salaries of their officers and inaugurate a system of economy in the manage ment, there could be enough of a saving to make up for the loss by reason of hard times. The work ingman whose wages were $35 a month, dosen't like to be cut down to $3O when the higher grade of officials are voting themselves their old salaries. It was very bad economy to squeeze the great mass of men who were getting little enough before. THE EFFECT Or THE STRIKE ON BUSINESS was terrible. There was enormous destruction of goods by the infuriated mass, which made inter ruption in trade, and instances of severe loss are comin; to light everywhere. One western brewer has been three year: , introducing his beer into New York, Boston, r hiladelph is and Baltimore; he had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to create his trade and had it working smoothly. His shipments were caught in the jam at Buffalo and Pittsburgh, some oars remaining a week. In the meantime, his stock being exhausted, other brew ers stepped in, and now he has his work all to do over again, or abandon it. There were thousands of car loads of perishable goods allowed to stand for ten days, and the goods that were not perisha ble were so plundered as to be almost a total loss. The action of the companies in cutting down wages and the method of the strikers in seeking redress has cost the country millions upon millions of dol lars. The direct loss can be ascertained—the in direct will never be known. IN TSB CM The labor troubles are not settled, and trouble re certain to oome. The busy 80140 a is half over, and employment has been so seam and wages so low that the workingmen have pot a dollar ahead for the coming winter, and they are organizing for come purpose. The coal-dockers have already struck, and are making trouble. The wives of the strikers are more bitter than their husbands, and more determined to hold out. 11 a wan shows any symptoms of yielding, the women assault him, and as they can't strike a woman, they are at a sad disadvantage. The feeling is extending among all classes of working-men, and there is no doubt but thine will lie wild work here within the mouth. The railroad engineers ate doing ever; thing in their power to swell the flood, and the Communists ale as busy as been. Look out for some ugly work very soon. CHIVE Has been running rampant during the last month. Three men have killed their wives—two because they did not like them, and one because he desired to marry a rich woman, determined, apparently, to make money in somewly. Bar-room fights are as coalition as Iliv,liuttuvs, and to diversify the ghastly panorama, three wives have killed their husbands. There have been two cases of men killing women because they would not marry them, and a dozen or two for no cause whatever. One man, a Berman, killed his wife, threechildran and himself, because he had been out of work two months, and had co:us to the end of his resources, and was too proud to see his children begging. One Frenchman was nearly at the end of his string, financially, in March, and determined to commit suicide. Ile took stock of what ho had, and cal culated how long it would support him. Ile paid his board to August sth, that being all he had, and on the evening of that day blew his brains out. Ile was French to the last. He left a note to his landlord, saying that he did it to avoid trouble. Ile referred death to running up a board-bill which he had no means of paying. The boarding house keepers of Newyork wish there were more like him. The exceAve heat has something to do with this epidemic of crime, but the hard times more. A man with a family, who can get nothing to do, has very tittle to ' ye for. PIETRO. Capital Punishment. No. 2. Mit. EDITOR :—I wish to give some further reasons why the murderer should be put to death. The very existence of society demands it. And we ae people to-day can form no idea of the ad vantages we derive from this death penalty. The only remedy for crime of any kind is to make laws and enforce them so that they will be a terror to evil doers. Paul clearly teaches capital punish ment in the 13th chapter of Romans, "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil; wilt thou then not be afraid of the power; do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same. But if thou do that which is evil be afraid; for be bcareth not the sword in vain ; for he is the minister of God a revenger to execute wrath upon him that dooth evil." In this same connection Paul points out some of the sins that we must avoid if we would escape this sword of Justice namely "thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal," kc. Now we would say here that the person who says we have no authority for capital lunisbment in the New Testament scriptures takes from this passage all its meaning, for if the sword refered to here is not a sword to cut, then, the officer bareth it in vaia and therefore could not be a terror to evil doers. The subject of capital punishment bas recently been discussed by the British Parliament and its necessity was affirmed by an overwhelming ma jority and the fact made plain that in communities where for a time it had been abolished, the crime of murder increased so rapidly that the death penalty was soon reimposed. This has been the effect wherever its abolishment has been tried.— Still notwithstanding this fact, we have men in church and state who are so tender hearted that they would abolish the hell penalty for sin also. During the Reese trial some few weeks ago, as your correspondent was passing along the street in your town he overheard a minister of the Gospel say to a group of men "Reese is not so much to blame in this matter—Shade needed killing." What encouragement this was giving to the murderer and for others to go and do likewise. Oh ! we thought is not this a blind leader? is not this a false sympathy ? this kind of sympathy we believe may tend to weaken the arm of jostles even when the penalty of-the law is fully carried out, ans until the sentiments of the people are changed on this subject, end less sympathy manifested for the murderer we may expect this crime to increase. If a man steals a horse, or robs the U. S. Mail he can be tried in our courts and perhaps sentenced to the penitentiary for life, there is no one to pity him or his family, no tender hearted women to weep for him. Oh ! no, but let a man calmly and maliciously murder his neighbor and at once he has the sympathy of a large portion of our citi zens. Beautiful and tender hearted ladies attend his trial and shed many a tear for thepoor murderer and his family, while they seem entirely to lose sight of the poor family and friends who have been ruined and brought to grief by the murderer. Oh ! is not this all wrong when God has said we shall not pity the murderer ? We said in a former article on this subject that "we exceedingly doubted whether any man who calmly and maliciously murders his fellow man will ever be forgiven." As this language may seem strong to some and rather like limiting Goa's mercy I will give some reasons for making the assertion that I think will be satisfactory. It is admitted by all that there is a time in the life of every finally impenitent sinner when God's spirit ceases to strive with them. God has said "my spirit will not always strive with man." The man who commits premeditated murder may be young in years, yet ho is old in sin, he has reached a degree in wickedness where we believe he has been given over to hardness of heart and reprobacy of mind so that he suffers himself to be led by ratan captive at his will. God's spirit strove with him long to turn from sin and do good, but he refused hence he is loft to his fate. "He that being often reproved harden his neck shall suddenly be destroyed and that without remedy." In the Now Testament we read whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." We often hear of murderers repenting and dying in the triumphs of faith, but we aro free to say that we have no confidence in such conversions. The man who commits murder, first tries to escape justice by running away, he floes from his pursuers and when arrested and brought into court he in the presence of his God and the court with as up lifted hand denies positively that he never com mitted the murder, his next effort is to employ the ablest counsel he can gid e and if he should fail to clear him, he has his friends and attorney too, to use their influence to procure his pardon and when he discovers that all these objects fail—with death and hell star ng him in the face, he turns to his spiritual advisors not, because be is sorry that he has broken God's law and taken the life of kis fellow but that he fears the just punishment that awaits him in the world of woe. Now he may show great penitence may acknowledge that he has done wrong and after a time may profess a change of heart and to all appearanoes die a happy man. But is all this any evidence that he was a truly converted man ;wo say not at all. The man who has a heart in him to murder can act out all this as a deception to gain sympathy or on account of his friends. There was a case of this kind in the State of New York a few years ago where the culprit show ed no signs of penitence until he had received his sentence to be hung, then for the first time, he be came interested for his soul and gave good evidence of a change of heart, was entirely willing to be ex ecuted, his spiritual adviser was very much inter ested in his case, and thought that the balance of his life if spared might be useful, he made an ef fort and succeeded in procuring his pardon, he took it to the culprit's cell, and before handing him his pardon the minister said to him (just to try him,) if we should fail to procure your pardon will you still be reconciled to your fate. Certainly re plied the culprit, I am entirely willing to die any time, and showed the greatest peace and compos ure of mind. As the minister felt satisfied now that he was acting no deception he handed him his pardon, hut to his utter astonishment the counte nance of the man changed, his eyes flashed, he cursed end swore, and he discovered now that the man who one moment before seemed almost like an angel stood before him a perfect demon. This is no isolated case. It has been discovered that death bed repentances under far more favorable circumstances than the murderer are very unrelia ble. A distinguished minister of the Gospel who is now dead, said that during his ministry he had known some thirty who supposed they were on their death beds, and who, to all appearances gave good evidence of repentance and change of heart, but as health returned, they all with one or two exceptions went back to the world and were more wicked than before. Some may think our views a little bard but we cannot see how the reader can look at this subject in any other way without giving encouragement to crime. If a man can murder and then deny it, and use every dishonest means to escape justice, and when he finds that all his treachery fails to clear him, he turns to Christ in the last holr and dies like a martyr washed white in the blood of the Lamb. Tu suppose all this we say would beggar relig ion, and put a premium on crime. If such should be the case that scripture would lose its force: "God is not mocked whatsoever a man soweth that shall be also reap, if he sow to the winds he shall reap the whirlwind" and again "The way of the transgessor is hard." We would say to those who visit murderers in their cells as spiritual advisers never to publish to the world their religious experi ence no matter how bright and clean it may stem, leave it with theta and their God, as the publish ing of such conversions only gives encouragement to crime, while it could be no benefit to the culprit. God requires more rigor in carrying out the pen alty for the crime of murder than any other sin mentioned in the Bible. When the murderer es caped punishment the judgment of his sin was oft en transmitted to his posterity, as in the case of Saul. In the days of David there was a severe famine for three years in succession, David in quired of the Lord the cause of this famine, and the Lord answered, "It is for Saul and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites." and it was not till David gave up to the Gibeonites seven of the sons of Saul and they hanged them that Gou's anger was staid. And may not we to day Mr. Editor, be suffering from panic, strikes, and mobs, in consequence of innocent blood that has been eh id is our country while the murderers have never been brought to justice? We would say further to those who will have it that Christ when he came abrogated the death penalty to turn to the case of Ananias and Sap phire who were struck dead for lying. This °cowed lust after the church was organized under the new dispensation, and I ask where can we find more rigid punishment of crime in the old Testament scriptures ? I must now close, as this article is much louger now than we had intended it, but there is so much involved in this subject that we And it impossible to do justice to it even is the space we have occupied, JUS TICE. Sabbath Desecration. ARMAGH, INDIANA Co., PA. August Ist, 1877. To 11. Prcxi,icnh and Officiola of Railroad Coot ponies. Onturt,gmax :—Through the promptings of the good Sptrit (I trust)allow me to call your atten tion to the sacred observance of the Christian Sab bath, of which the Lord heti' said, "Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy." Let us ask our selves the question: Are we living in strict obedi ence to that command? As Presidents anti offici a ls of Railroad companies, or as corporations, do you not think you are trampling that law under your feet, by permitting, (or perhaps more truthfully said), by compelling traffic and trade to be carried over your roads on the Sabbath day ! Undoubtedly you are. Now as to the result: God's seeming vengeance has been recently visited upon you for a violation of His law, and upon us as a people, for suffering the desecration of the Lord's day. Will you not accept this sad calamity as a warn ing against Sabbath-breaking, or will you pers , st in running your trains of cars on the Sabbath day, regardless of the consequences ? If, under the law of Moses, God kept such a strict account of the vi olation of His day, as to visit the offender with the penalty of death by stoning, (see Numbers, 15 chapter 32 to 37 verse) and that for what we might think a very trivial cause, that of gathering sticks on the Sabbath day, how shall we expect to escape who commit sins of so much greater mag nitude ? "Thus saith the Lord, keep ye judgment, and do justioe, far my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed." (Isaiah 56 chapt, r 2d verse). "Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the Son of Man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keep eth his band from doing any evil." (Isaiah 56 chapter 2d verse). "If those turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy-day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the ho ly of the Lord, honorable; and shalt honor Nina, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine awn pleasure, nor speaking thine own words; Then shalt thou delight thyself in -'le, Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy fath • er : for the mouth of the Lord bath spoken it." (Isaiah 58 chapter 12 et 14 verses.) When so much is doing on the one hand to break down the Sabbath, and on the other to sustain its proper observance, allow me to state a few facts that should speak In thunder tones to every one in the land. When De Tocqueville, the celebrated publicist of France, fist came to this country, he was the guest of the Hon. John C. Spencer, then living in Canandaigua, N. Y. The village is de lightfully located in the heart of a rich farming country, and was then mainly one broad, beauti ful street, on, or near which, were all the ohurches of the village. The inhabitants were mostly of New England origin, and were remarkably a church-going people. De Tocquoville arrived there toward the end of the week, and on Saturday, as the country people came in, in crowds, to make their purchases, and Jose up their business of the week, he spoke with surprise, of their numbers, and of their comfortable and thrifty appearance. On else morning of Sunday, a bright, cool, delightful day, as he looked out after breakfast, he was still more surprised to see no one in the streets, and all was as quiet and still as if the place had oecn de serted. And he asked Mr. Spencer, "What does this mean ?" "Why," said Mr. S., "it is Sunday." But this was no explanation to the Frenchman, and when he asked still further as to its meaning, Mr. S. replied, "Wait till the bells rieg, and then you will see." At half past ten o'clock the bells from all the churches rang out their call to divine worship, and soon the broad walks of the street were crowded with people, neatly, and comforta bly, and many of them expensively dressed, and all quietly thronging their way to the churches. And as again De Tocqueville asked Mr. Spencer as to the meaning of all this, he was told in reply, that this was the American way of keeping the holy Sabbath ; and that every Sunday the great masses of the people (save some exceptions previ ously mentioned,) thus laid aside their labor, and all secular occupations, and went up to the house of God, there to be instructed in truth, and di-ect ed in duty, both for this teorld and the mere. And as De Toequeville pondered the spectacle, and heard the explanation, he raised his hands, and with deep earnestness said, "Mr. Spenser, France must hareyour American Sabbath, or she is ruined!" The Sabbath is empliaticaily, the poor man's, and the working man's day. And there is no surer way to break down the health, as well as the morals and religion of the people, than to break down the Sabbath, To say nothing of the divine law, on mere worldly grounds, it is plain that nothing is more conducive to the health, intelligence, comfort, and independence of the working classes, and to oar prosperity as a people, thou our Christian American Sabbeth. Far-off be the day when its sacred observance shall be broken down, and when it shall cease to be kept as a day of est and quiet ness, and for the religious instruction of the peo ple. Thank God for the Sabbath-day, and woe be to the man or men, or any set of men, who contin ue openly or secretly to violate this day, or cause it to be violated by others in their employ, or oth erwise. If they continue thus to do, it would be better for them they had never been born. I trust that no offence will be taken by any one from the reading of the above, and especially those to whom it more directly refers. But bear in mind that in many oases those are our best. friends •r he tell us oar faults. And in accordeece with the word of the Lord, "Clou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbor, and r suffer sin upon him."--Le viticus 19th chapter, part of 17th verss. Yours, in Love, A. E A Few Plain Words. EDIROR JOURNAL—Dear Sir :—I wish, through your columns, to make a few plain statements con cerning the oppressed state of labor in the land. For the last three er four years the administration has been tainted with so much fraud and corrup tion, that though a man be a fool he cannot but see that all State as well as national legislation has been for the benefit of the Shylocks and incor porated blood-suckers of the land, who are amass ing wealth by millions—whose salaries do not coast by hundreds, but by thousands. They it are who called the loudest for a reduction on the price of labor and are the quickest to receive an advance of a thousand or two on their own yearly salaries. If these dignitaries were to receive a re duction on their awn salaries in proportion to the laborers, and sey receive $1.50 per day, you would then see them like Banlam's ass of old. open their mouths and speak. If a common employee is (tailed from one point of a railroad line to perform his duty at some other point of the same, you hear not a word spoken by the electric flash. But should one of the officials start on a trip then the electric telegraph will call from office to office, along the entire line "the grand Turk will be along soon, pre pare the way and make his paths straight." This is the way by which the line of demarcation is mapped out by the capitalists of the land. They look down upon the laborer as a mere machine by which they are to enhance their own personal wealth, at no matter what sacrifice to the brawny arm that produces capital, and they have no dis crepancy in even taking the last crumb from the etarvir g family's mouth, and will then inflate themselves like a big bag of wind, and say we must curtail expenses at no matter what sacrifice to la bor, capital must be protected, and the majesty of the law says so. The State as well as the general government has shown its hand. They have spo ken in tones of thunder in favor of capital against starving labor. They have forgotten that many of the starving poor of to-day are those noble souls who, from 1861 to 1865 stood at the cannon's mouth, during that bloody conflict, and listened to its deep thunders rattle and stood unflinchingly to see their near and dear companions fall by the thousands to perpetuate the Union. Where is their reward ? they who shed their blood in order to bold this rand temple of liberty together! It is of the past if they ever had any, for now when they are starving, they dare not raise their voices for help, or the strong arm of federal power is brought to bear upon them, and they are shot down like beasts or dieperstel and driven to their homes there to lie down and starve like dogs. tiUi. MARKLESEURG, August 13th, 1877. MORRIS TOWNSHIP, July 13, 1877. EDITOR JOEIRIAL—Dear Sir I—We notice in your paper the announcement of Capt. T. S. MeCahan, for the office of Sheriff of the county. We are pleased to have this opportunity to show the gratitude we entertain for him. We are old members of company L, 9th Fenna. Cavalry, and are ready and willing to assist him in any and every honorable way in our power. His reputa tion as an officer and soldier, we are proud of. Very strict on duty, but his kindness to the men under him, will never be forgotten, nor will he be forgotten by the privrte soldiers of our regiment, especially the sick and wounded. He was always looking after them, never passed a hospital that be did not stop to look after his own sick and wounded, and of the regiment. Capt. McCahan was wounded twice, the last time badly, in a guerrilla fight on the Cumberland mountains, and after sixty days absence, returned to the company on his crutches, and was on duty day and night, alt the time in the saddle. We were then on Sharman's march to the Sea. Ile could not stand it and was compelled to leave us, and sorry we wore to lose him. As Gen. Davey said to him, "We are sorry to lose you. If every officer and sol dier in the army had duce as well as you and your company did when you were wounded, we could go home." We will ask the Republicans of Huntingdon county to notice his claims. If you want an officer than. is capable,—one that will do his duty strictly, quietly and humanely,--give Capt. McCahan the nomination. Doing so you will ever be remem dered by the members of is old company. PETER SHAFFER, S. PATTERSON, H. CRISSMAN BECK, A. P.
