WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBRE 11, 1861 Afar 1L must be borne in tnind that the Convention which met ir► this bor ough on the 2d inst., met under such a call that did not permit all parties to partim-ipate. and hence it was not a Union Convention. A resolution was offered, to adjourn for la week, there by giving the people an , opportunity to elect a Union Convention, and the Convention thou in session adjeurn sine die. Tile resolution was adopted and the convention declared adjourn ed sine die by the President. Those opposed to the Union resolutions and the Union convention remained, and nominated a ticket, which, comae, quently, cannot be a Union ticket, bemuse by the votes of those that remained they declared themselves opposed to a Union. Moreover, it it could be even construed that the first convention was a Union convention, it adjourned sine die, and hence could no longer act, and the members of the second convention re-censidering the Union resolutions and voting them down acted without authority, and declared themselves Anti-Union by their very acts. They even did not meet under the original call, because that convention had met, adjourned sine die, and was dissolved, and their reconsidering and voting down the Union "resolutions was unnecessary, because they did not interfere with their action more than they would with any other body of people: .The ticket nominated is an Anti• Union ticket because the convention which nominated it declared itself anti-un ion by its own actions and votes. Z ir In the published proceedings of the anti• Union Republican conven tion of last week, it is said that the vote on the Union resolutions "was taken amid confusion." The mem bers might have felt confused, but if "noise and confusion" is meant the writer certainly was not in the con vention, or he would not say .so.— The time alluded to was painfully quiet,—the falling of a pin might almosthave been heard, because eve. ry ear and mind was on tip-too to hear the.vote of an mach importance 011ie party that had held the reins in this county for so many years.— After it was over and the convention declared adjourned sine die by the President there was some confusion, but notra great deal. "TRUTH IS A. PRICELESS JEWEL."- 'There was a time when we enter. tained the idea that no man under otood and practised this maxim bet ter than the celebrated Baron,•Mun chausen, but we were mistaken.-- andor compels us to acknowledge that• the Lebanon 'Courier carries off the palm, with an effrontery from which the 'Baron would have turned with horror. For particulars see its report of the anti.Unien Republican convention of last week. 'liar THE Anti- Vo ioh Republican Convention which met in the Court House on the 2d inst., and nominated a ticket, assembled under a call, high. ly lauded by the Courier for its "broad• twos." It was rather spready, it is true, in its invitation for people to attend, but they were not allowed . to participate any the Proceedings of eith. er 'delegate elections or Convention. The test was "did you vote for 'Lin. coin, and will you vote the ticket ?" not "are you for the Union ?" It is no wonder that the convention should break under such a sham. i The Courier deems that the question "whether the majority shall govern is a vital issue." So it is, and it will be decided most effectually at the election this fail, so far as teba non county is concerned, that the Anti-Union Republicans are not. only not the majority, but also that they shall no longer govern. g The Democrats and Republi. cans of Huntingdon county, have nominated a Union county ticket for the fell election.

Secre tary Chase has issued an, earnest ap peal to the people in behalf of the nat,ional loan, showing that it is the as well as the duty of every one who has money to invest, to place it, at this crisis, in the hands of the government. He points to -the fact .that the valuation of real and per sonal property in the loyal States amounts to eleven thousand millions of dollars; that the surnlusearnings of the people of those States amount to four hundred millions;' whereas the cost of the war, on the- calcula tion of high military authorities, . .if judiciously conducted, will not ,he more than two hundred aodtfty mil lions.

But nevertheless, there' is not one member of the Cabinet who does net approve and sustain the principles declared by Gen. Fremont. Gov.

KENTUCKY AND THEE UNION. The news. from - LOuisvilie to-day is cheering. - The Legislature is found to be more uncemprotnisingly :Union than the most hopeful expected, and it is almost certain that the State will supply tier quota of money for the war and her proportion of men for the field. The Governor,,if we can believe our adi ices, promises to stand by the Union if the Legislature so in structs him. . Da_ Through the medium of,the Petersburg (Ya.)Expresa, of Monday, a copy, of which we have accidental-. ly come into ' the posiessson of, -we have received various rebel accounts of the recent National victory at Hat- teras Inlet. The excitement threngh out North-Carolina and Eastern Vit . - ginia l in conseghenee of it, is deserib ed as intense, and the most exagger ated rumors in reference to the subse quent movements of the fleet were afloat. Wilmington, N. C., was sta..' ted to have been destroyed—an asser tion for which there was not the slightest foundation; and atpoldsboro' N. C., it was. positively, announced that the fleet had made-its appearance oil Beaufort Harbor, with the -inten tion of attacking Fort Mason, deserib ed as the.moat formidable fortifica tion on the North Carolina coast.— This assertion, however, like the oth er, was only the, offspring of:-rebef fears the fleet not yet having gone be. yond. Hatteras Inlet. How A MAN FEELS WHEN HE Is Suar.—We take the following from a; 1 letter written by one of the ,gallant lowa volunteers, who fought in- the battle near Springfteld, Missouri : "I was standing,_ or rather kneel. ing, behind a little bush, reloading my musket, just before the rebels en. gaged in- this close work retreated.— Suddenly I felt-a sharp pain in the shoulder, and fell to the ground.— Jumping up one of our boys asked me if I was hurt ? I replied I tho't not, drew up my musket to fire,when he said; "Yes, you are shot . right through the shoulder," I think it was the remark, more than the wound, which caused the field, all at once, to commence whirling around me in a very strange manner. started to leave it, with a half-ounce musket ball in my shoulder, and once or twice fell.'down with dizziness; but in a short titne:recovered suffteiently.to be able to .walk back..to Springfield, nine miles ) where the ball .was taken out." ler We shall -probably' soon hear of another, battle in Western 'Virgin ia—that is if-Wise, and Floyd are as anxious to meet Gen. Roseerans as they have pretented. A - telegram has recently been received by the Government from Gen. Rosecrans which announces that he had advan ced with a considerable portion of his conirnand to a,point midway between Bultown. and .Flatwoods, on his way to attack the enemy in the vicinity of Summerville or Gauley Bridge. He left an ampleforee behind to protect the Cheat ,Mountain Pass, in front of Lee's position and is ready for any at tempt the latter may make to pone , - 1 trate west of the mountains. tten. Rosercans was expected-to join his forces with those of Qen. Co; and thus be able to drive both Wise and Floyd to desperate straits, in-the way either of - fighting or running. liar The war in Missouri since the great battle. near Springfield, seems to have assumed more of a guerilla character. The only collision of mo ment which:has occurred since, was the one at Lexington, a few days since, in Whieb a small body of 'Na tional troops repulsed; albody of reb els ten times their nutnber, particu lars of which have been given.

[From ,the Richinteid Eziuirer, August 15.3 It is universally conceded that but for the opportune junction of the two commands of. Johnston and Beaure gard at:Manassas, the result of the late battle would have been at least apocraphal. Hence to, the brain that conceived the union of these forces is due in a great degree the chief credit of the „day._ .Well-founded informa tions aserib - es this 'hUOY Conception' to, the military sagacity of• Gen. Beau regard. Perceiving that it was quite impossible for his limited command to =successfully- oppose, the advance of McDowell's overwhelming columns, he early in the week telegraphed both to, the President , and General Johnston, urging the union of forces as an absolute necessity. After some reflection, both of these eminent mil itarY men acceded to the suggestion, and.the junction was effected as -rap idly as, circumstances permitted; On arriving at Manassas, General Johnston, being the ranking officer, assumed comma.nd, not, however, without ratifying, the whole plan of battle prepared by General Beams , gard, and chivalrously assigned to him its execution through the day. These orders of battle were coniden tinily distributed to each of the'regi mental commanders, and were drawn up with great elaboration and com pleteness, and, are esteemed a master piece of elegant and precise composi- serH "Hallo, where did you gitthose new clothes ?" - "Why; you' see, Plagued rich fellow till he gave me a slap on the jaw.

The proprietors and manufacturers of HOS TETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BIT TERS eon, appeal with perfect confidence to physicians and'oitizens generally of the United States, because the-article has attained &repu tation heretofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than volumes of bare assertion or blaconing puffery.- The constmption of -Histetter's Stomach Bit ters for the !fist year amounted to over a half- - Million bottles, and -from its manifest steady increase in times past, it is evident that daring. the coming year die consumption• will reach near one million Mat ties.

This is not a temporary popularity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of trust petincthe qualities of the Bitters, but a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined•to be as enduring as time itself. Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters have providt a Godsend: to regions: -where fever and nu,. and various other bilious complaints have counted their victima by hundreds.

There are certain periods when their cares are so harassing that many of them sink under the-trial. The relation of mother and child is so absorbingly tender, that the mother, especially if she be youngja apt to forget her own health in her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive duringthe summer season, the wear of body and mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a necessity fora stimulant to recupe rate the energies 'of the system, and enable the mother to bear up - under her exhausting trials and responsibilities. - Nursing mothers gent rally prefer thellitters. to all other invigera tore that receive the endorsement of physi cians; because if' is• agreeable to the taste ae well as certain _to give a permanent inereas• of bodily strength.
