The County Ticket nominated by tho Dem ocratic County Convention (which will bo found under our editorial bead,) is unexcep tionable in every respect, and, wo aro glad to loncn, gives general satisfaction. It is composed of good men and true Democrats, and will bo elected by at least 1,000 majority. The delicate and always difficult task of se lecting from a number of candidates, ofocpial merit and capacity, and all of whom were pressed by their respective friends with an earnest desire for thoirCucoess, was, perhaps, as well performed by tho Convention ns tho circumstances allowed,; and although there ore, among the disappointed, as good and Worthy men ns have been placed upon tho ticket, yet we think they will all admit that they wore all fairly treated, and the cheer fulness with which they have expressed their willingness to submit to the decision of tho Convention, is an evidence, at least, that its choice was honestly made, and with tho best intentions.* Where all could not bo accom modated, some wore hound to fail, and it is no discredit to any candidate to have Suffered a defeat, in a fait contest with his own polit ical friends. ; ’ First on thotiekotis Dr. John D. Bowman, of East Pennshoro’ township, for Assembly. Dr. B. is an educated and intelligent gentle man, a firm Democrat, and honest man. His character, moral and political, is without spot or blemish, and no man is hotter ac quainted with the interests and wishes of the people of Cumberland county than Dr. B.—■ Possessing industrious and correct habits, ho will make a most valuable member of tho House. For Protlionotary tho Convention nomina ted Samuel Shirehan, a veteran Democrat, of Lower Allen township. Mr. S. is a gen tleman of unimporishahlo character, and who has ever stood firm as a rock in the defence of Democratic measures. Wo feel.confident the people could not confer the office upon one more deserving, or who would ’execute its duties wjth more general satisfaction. For Clerk of the Courts we hayo Ephraim Corn man, Esq.' of Carlisle. Mr. C. has, for many years, been the editor Of the Democrat, and as such has rendered able and important services to the good old cause. Ho is an ex cellent penman, and will bring to the duties of the office qualifications of the first order.— Of a mild and amiable disposition, and over ready to please, he is the very man for this position. George' W. North,, a highly respectable and intelligent mechanic ofNewville, receiv ed tho nomination for Register. No man has done more to sustain The party organization and keep us principles alive than ho, and if faithful services of this kind constitute hoy jplaira to office, ho has richly earned the nom ination. lie is, besides, honest and capable, and will make an agreeable and efficient offi cer; ' Henry S. Ritter, one of our most worthy and industrious mechanics of Carlisle, is our nominee for Treasurer. lie is deserving and. upright, and is well qualified for a faithful discharge of the'duties of the office. No man 1 in. this community stands higher as. an exem plary "citizen than Mr; It. ■ Ilia lunow-mfc ohanios, of ajl parties, will, we feel sure, give him a “ lift" on tho second Tuesday of Ooto ber. John M’Cov, Our candidate for County Com missioner, is a substantial farmer of Hopewell township, and a hard working Democrat.— Intelligent, honest, and economical, he is peculiarly qualified for the Commissioner’s office. The estimation-in'which he; is held by the people of that section of tho county, is tho best recommendation as to his charac ter and fitness, that could be desired. He has waited long and patiently for “ his turn,” and now has received his reward. For Director of the Poor, wo have Christian Hartman, of Silver Spring; and for Auditor, D. B. Stevick, of Newburg,. They are both “ good men and true,” and well calculated to fill tho stations for which they have been nominated. Honest and capable, they will discharge their duties with fidelity to the people. Such is. the ticket.' Wo think the Conven tion has given general satisfaction, and we confidently look for a ratification of its pro ceedings, on tho second Tuesday of October, by tho largest majority our county has ovor cast.

County Musical Convention. —By a reso lution of the Handel Musical Association of Carlisle, tho President of said association was instructed to call a meeting of delegates •from the different townships and boroughs of Cumberland county, for the purpose of taking into consideration tho propriety of forming a County Musical Association, and making preparations for holding a County Musical Convention, to bo conduotod by some compe tent teacher, such ns Geo. F. Root or Lowel Mason. Therefore, pursuant to tho resolu tion, I request the lovers of music, through* out the county, to moot together and appoint one delegate from each township and bor ough. Tho meeting of the delegates will bo held at Carlisle, on Saturday, the 2Gth inst., in tho Union Fire Company’s Hall, at 10J o’clock, A. M. It appears, that tho interest formerly taken in music has become very dormant, therefore wo hope that tbo people of the townships and boroughs will not treat this call.with ili difference, but come dp to the work nobly and manfully.

The nomination of .justice WooDwaKd for tlio chief magistracy of tho State, "Wtia a ■for tunate circumstance for tho reputation of Pennsylvania. With a reputation above suspicion, toll ability beyond question, ho stands tho very embodiment of the integrity and genius of our'Democratic system.. With snob n candidate at such a time, wo look up on defeat as biing impossible. At such a time-when -corruption.' stalks with hrazpn front ovon incur Stafo ns well ns our Nation al Capitol, wo want such a man for Governor ■as Justice Woodward. With him at tho bend of affairs, the people might rest secure, ■not only in relation to his own integrity„but they might also CaldUlnto upon having tho dark deeds of others either exposed or pun ished., In times like these, wo should have a man to govern us whoso reputation for in tegrity at least is.pqt open for discussion ; in this relation our candidate stands defiant. Knowing, the lofty character of Judge Woodward, the. opposition to his election have not ventWScl to assail it; in this they have:shown some tact, because of the.terri ble ordeal to'which assault upon ours would subject their own candidate. .In the absence of assault, however, upon the personal char acter-of Judge.'-W oodward, some of tho Abo-, lition organs are absolutely desperate in their efforts to damage his political reputation.— These efforts are' as contemptible os silly, and must only tend to swell his majority: — ‘‘The hand-writing upon tho wall” is plain ly visible, and hence tho desperation of tho Abolitionists jo save their sinking cause. . ,Among the most shameless of the assail ants of tlio Democratic candidate for Govern or, is that most infamous sheet, 'the Philadel phia Press. That paper joined with the op ponents of Governor Curtin’s nomination, and henoo Eorniy’s warfare now upon Judge Woodward. Having given reasons why Cur tin ought not to he tho Abolition candidate, that expert-trimmer, and broker in contracts, must now make pmends by excessive zeal in behalf of his ro-eleotion. But if the Press imagines that persistent falsehood, in regard to Judge Woodwar’s political record is like ly to assist its candidate it is terribly mista ken. The , slang about “ copperhead and sympathy with treason" hits grown nauseous, and will produce no more effect this year, than the stale ciy “ Brockenridge” did last- The people are thoughtful; they have diveu beneath the surface of such'paltry stuff as the Abolition press serves up to them. , They' feel and see that their liberties are threatened by the encroachments of those in power, and they are apprehensive that their own free dom may be lost in the name of giving liber' ty to another and inferior race. ; They see our armies augmented by hundreds of thou sands of new conscripts, and that, too, while they are .told that the rebellion is crushed. — They are inquiring why this is so,, and they receive no answer. They see tho anxiety of tho Southern people to return to tho Union, but.our Administration gives.them no encour agement. They wre inquiring whether, im deed, it is tho restoration of the Union they are giving so much to sccuro,-or are. their substance and-lives to bo sacrificed, in Aboli tion nnttsiimlar -quos-' tions are being asked and considered by the thoughtful freemen, of Pennsylvania, and the silly dry of traitor and Copperhead against Judge WoonwAftb, will not divert their at tention from their profound consideration. Great Chance;— ln every township nrid County.of the State, honest men are leaving t lie despotic men who are striving torevolu-* lionize our'- form of free,' government, and coming over to the Democratic side. You ■can count them in every township—men who have hitherto opposed the democratic party, but who are now disgusted with the violated promises; and ruinous tendencies of Aboli tionism.

(IS?*GOVERNOR CURTIN CAN NOT SECURE THE SUPPORT OF EITHER lIIS OWN PARTY OR lIIS OPEICE HOLD ERS.—Speech of Alex. Cuinmiiigs, before the Republican Slate Convention, Aug. 5, 1803. Mr. Cummings is only one of the many formerly warm and influential friends of ■Curtin, who now ore deserting him in the hour of trial when he most heeds their sup port. So it Is, Curtin has made a very un popular Governor, even with his own party. Cummings is a loading Republican 1 O’Thd Clinton?.Democrat says it is report ed that the drafted men of Potter and Tioga counties (strong republican counties,) arc not required to report for duty until after the, election! The Lewisburg Chronicle says it is the informed, that ‘ho drafted man or sub; stituto, will be,called to leave our [Union] county, until about the 15th of October—two days after the "election !’ Union county is another hot-bod of Republicanism !! 1 0“ The people 6t Pennsylvania must not overlook the important fact that Daniel Ag now, the Abolition nominee for Supreme Judge, is in favor of negro suffrage in Penn sylvania. Whilst a member of the Reform Convention, ho persistently voted to confer that right upon all colored men in the Com monwealth. .He is.the friend of Andrew G., Curtin, and running upon the same ticket; their views and opinions are identical. Can the white freemen of Pennsylvania oast their votes for tho candidates of shoddy and negro equality? Be Assessed.-— Let every Democrat bo ogr, teintnat hois assessed, and not only that,' but that every one of his Democratic neigh bors are. Hoad over the list parfully, and bo certain that all are on. This must be done at least ten days before the election, and had better be done now, leaving room for other labor at that time. Examine, the books and bo sure that you AEE ASSESSED, and see to it that your neighbors aro also. The. Soldier's Friend. —The only good word the Abolition friends of Gov. Curtin can say of him is “that ho is the soldier’s friend.” Who aro the friend:) of Governor Curtin ? The rocorda'of tho Quarter Sessions ci Allegheny show that throo of his personal friends wore indicted in that Court for cheating tho sol dier, in his olotbjingj his food, and his arms. ‘‘Love me, love my dog,” says the proverb. You may know a man by the company ho Jcoobs.T, Friend of tho soldier, explain how you acted in unison with tho knaves who struck at the vitals of all wlitary strength— food—clothing—»ud arms. The Prtfipeet Brightens. The Abolitionists have opened their batter ies of detraction and abuse upon Judgo-Wodi ward, in most grand stylo. Nothing could bo more cheering to tho hopes of tho Democ racy.' It is proof ‘positive that they already soo that thoir fato is scaled, and that they know it. Judge Woodward has now boon in public life for more than a quarter of a cen tury; yet Ilia vilifiors can only find two errors that ho has oonimittod—and neither of which aro faults, because ho is guilty of poithdr of them. ■ ' ■ Tho first is, that bo sought tho disfranchise meat of naturalized citizens when a member of tho Reform Convention in 1838. This charge was clearly and triumphantly refused when Judge Woodward was elected to tho Supremo Hunch. There was not a word nj truth in it. No man is more just and lib eral in bra Views on this subject than Judge W. and none know- this fact bettor than our foreign-born citizens themselves. Tim second charge is, that ho, as one of tho Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia, decided against the Constitutionality of tho soldiers’ vote, and is therefore.in favor of the "disfriinchiseiheni of‘the soldier." . This. too, is false. Tho Court did decide, that there being no Constitutional provision for any votes to ho cast for Pennsylvania civil officers outside of the limits of,•Pennsylvania, and ho yond tho influence of her laws, that there fore soldiers outside , of her limits could not vote. By that decision, ho it remembered, a Democratic Sheriff of Philadelphia we s turn-; ed out of, and a Republican Sheriff put in office, lint it is a base falsehood to say that Judgq Woodward decided that “Soldiers could not vote," or‘that .they were "disfran chised',” <md none know this hotter than those who make the charge. Soldiers can vote just as other men. They have no spe cial privileges, nor do they ask any.- We aro only sorry that it is not otherwise, for if the Pennsylvania heroes now in tho service: could have -tho opportunity ■ of speaking through the ballot-bps,, abolitionism would reoivo such a rebuke as no party, over yot ro ocived. , ’ ", , (Cr-ThO draft in New England is turning out just as we predicted, months ago, it would turnout. Wo predicted that-New England would not fui-pish men under the draft. In Rhode Island tho end of tho porfovmanoo.has been reached, and how many do you think, reader, of tho drafted men go. to the war? Just .exactly nineteen. All the others have been exempted or paid their §3OO. _ And Rhode Island has done as well,, according to her population, as tho other New England States.are doing, and bettor than Massaohu ostts. There is as much howling in that quarter ns over in favor of the fight, but the howlers, have no stomach,; as regards their own persons, for tho fight itself. . . It is all a beautiful commentary on the as surance of Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, on a certain occasion. Said ho, in a letter to thojSoorotary. of War, dated Boston, May I9th, 1802, “If the President will sustain Gen. Hunter, recognize all men, oven black men, as legally capable of loyalty, which the blacks are waiting to manifest; —and let thorn ■fight with God and human nature on their side— -the roads will swarm, if need he, with a multitude, wliopt Neio\ England will pour out to obey your call.” _ •■• - ■ Now. England ,has,neverfurnished her fair ~proportion pfm'On Tor tab Wtvti ana uaTVrr, will.. MaseaftKusettcf has boon permitted to supply her former deficiency with negroes, but she has not done oven that. She is be hind on negroes as well as white men. She has never been behind on stirring up .discord among the. States.. Her roads do in deed “swarm” when there is anything of that sort to bo’dofio. (PT’For the past few days we have had ser ious apprehensions that Andrew G. Curtin would resign the Abolition nomination. . Wo should deplore this event, because wp are anx ious that tho popularity of the' shoddy candi date should be fairly tested at the polls; Tho Pittsburg Gazelle, the leading Administration journal in the West, recently said that he could not be elected, and based its assertion upon the fact that' ho Was utterly unworthy ■of tho people’s Confidence, on account of his, khown imbecility and corruption. The Gd zelle was Tight. Such a'man cannot .succeed in Pennsylvania. The masses Want a firm statesman, a true patriot and,an honest man, and all these they have united in George W. Woodward. ' Governor Curtin is about to stump tho State, taking Erie as the starting point. On the 13th of October next, ho will find himself landed at the head waters of Sail River, or there is no truth in the predictions of some of his partizans who were delegates in tho late Abolition Convention at Pittsburg. One del gate said if was 'doubtful about electing Curtin;’’ another said “ tho only way to suc ceed was with a now man,” ' Cummings 1 said, -l Curtin could not secure the support of either his own par'll/ or his officeholders?’ What is to become of him but to go up Salt River ? George W. Woodward is as far' above Andrew Curtin in 1 all that makes a man good and great, as the sun is above a.coil oil lamp in brilliancy. Woodward is honest, Curtin is corrupt. His own party papers toll us this. Woodward is a high-minded Statesman; Curtin is a low-bred clap trap demagogue. Woodward’s reputation for integrity is above suspicion and above attack ; Curtin has been surrounded by a pack of unprincipled thieves Over since he has boon in Harrisburg. To elect Judge Woodward our Governor will be to return to tho days of Simon Snyder and Franois R. Skunk. [£/’■'When General Washington delivered up his commission to congress, then sitting at Annapolis, General Mifflin, tho President, in tho course of tho eloquent remarks ho ad dressed to the returning hero, said ‘ “You have conducted^the great military contest with wisdom and fortitude, invaribly regarding the rights of tho civil power, through all disaster and charges.” The future historian will search in vain for any such merited encomium upon the; Conduct or policy of Abraham Lincoln, i - O'Tlio N. Y. World published brief extracts from tho writings.of AVashing ton and Madison, in suoh as jawto indicate tho authors. tljo Abolition papers of that city referred to the extracts and termed them “Copperhead hisses” of the World. Tho World then goes baok on Mr. Abolition editor and congratulates him on tho compliments paid to the patriotism of Wash ington and Madison. THE WAR NEWS. MORE VICTORIES.

Tire Assault on Port Sumpter. The Repulse—Richly Killed, Wounded and Gaplnrcd. New York, Sept. 13.—A letter from Mor ris Island dated the Bth, to the Herald, gives an account of the recent boat expedition against Fort Sumpter. The. flotilla consisted of between twenty, .five and thirty boats, manned by over ,100 sailors, under Lieut. Com, Williams, of the Wissahickon, and. 100 marines, under Onpt. McCauley, the entire force being commanded by Com. Stevens,.of the IPatapsoo. ■ The boats were towed within a short distance of the fort whence they advanced. Throe boats un der Cora. Williams, Lieut, llemy, and En sign Porter, landed, and the parties attempt ed to run up the ruins to the parapet.. They were 'fired upon by musketry, and. hand grenades were thrown down upon them. The slope was so sharp that they Were unable to roach the parapet. A signal was given from the fort, and in an instant all the rebel bat teries opened on the fort and shelled if ter ribly. The three boots Wore smashed, and all who landed wore killed or captured.— Lieut. Bradford, of the marines, was mortally Wounded and captured. Among others cap tured wore Commander Williams, Lieut.

Washington, Sept. 13,.—A private note re ceived here to-day from Charleston states that about throe hundred and fifty men com posed the recent expedition to Sumpter, and that only a portion of th e force landed, some of the boats having grounded bn the shoals.
