LEBANON, PA.
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."-

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.

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.

THE SUCCESS AT HATTERAS

We published last week: a brief an

pedition which , lately left Fortress
Monroe under the joint command of
Gen. Butler and Commodore String

. give
full particulars. As we anticipated,
•
its destination - was Hatteras Inlet,
which-has for some time been 'infest
ed by a number of. pirates, who have
run -out and in whenever they saw fit,
with the utmost impunity. The reb

two fort's, one called Fort. Hatteras,
and the other' Fort :Clark - Mounting

MARTIAL LAW IN MISSOURI.
Wastuso*rox, Wednesday, Sept 4,
The proclamation of Gen. Fremont
is still the subject of:much comment
Governinent had not giyen instue-
Cam's for any such declaration, nor
was it known here, that such was to
be made. But nevertheless, there' is
not one member of the Cabinet who
does net approve and sustain the
principles declared by Gen. Fremont.
Gov. Gamble, of Missouri, is here
to remonstrate a,gainst the extension
of Martial Law over the entire, State,
and to speak for the restoration of
the PrOVielonal Government, of 'which .
he is the Chief ExecutiVe, but he will
be unlade sto induee any change.=
The President isdetermined to induce
energy and firmness in commanders
by sustaining them in such treasures
as they may deem necessary tointiore
success, and he will . take no - step
backward.
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

tion of attacking Fort Mason, deserib
ed as the.moat formidable fortifica

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

lars of which have been given. Al

WHO FOUGHT THE BATTLE ?
[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-

Physician of extensive practice and „obser

some four years of age. The symptoms
indicated delirium tremens, but the age of
the patient induced ttie practitioner to
doubt his ownAudgement until he had
made an inquiry into the case. The facts
deduced, together with the breath of the
child, convinced the physician that the
case was clearly made out as stated.—
Upon questioning the father, who kept a
saloon, it appeared that he had been in the
habit of giving the child draughts of spirits,
until! it had acquired a taste for it, and
would imbibe when no one was ;present
to control its appetite. The result was a
clear case of delirium tremens.

HOSTETTER'S

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. Thieviennense amount
could never have been sold But fbr:-tbii , ram
medicinal -iiroPerties contained, in theliopario
tion, and the sauction_of the molt prominent
physicians in
. those sections of tile , eountrr
where the Cr'!CIZ: is best known, wh' anly
recommend the; Bitters to their ; but
are read tat all times to give testimo - sto its
efficacy in all cases of stomachic derangements
and the diseases resulting therefrom.
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. To be,
able to. state confidently that it "Bitters"'
are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like.
diseases, is to the. - prop. ors a source of an--
alloyed pleasure. it reifttrall morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies ' the blood, and;
imparts renewed vitality to the nervous ryiptchs . „_:-
giving it that tone and energy indispensablb
for - the restoration of health. It operates uioss,
the stomach; liver, and other digestive organs,_
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them,
to &condition essential to the healthy discharge •
of the fttoctions_of maitre. -
Elderly persims may use the Bitters daily asi
per directions tin' the bottle, and they will lind
in it astimulant pecitliarly adapted'to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate,
invigorating to the_ bowels, excellent as a tonic,
and - rejuvenating generally. We have the evi
dence- of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using-this
preparation while suffering from stomach de
rangements and general , debility, acting under
the advice of-phySiciatts;they. have abandoned
all deleterious druge and • fairly tested the
merits' of tliis article. : A few words to the
gentler sex. 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.
All those persons, to whom we have partiost
lady-reforred .above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhcea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, ant
ill' diseases or derangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consu l
_their own phyokal welfare by giving to Hoe
totter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.
