* J should have seen our camp in the morning. The ground we were on was very sandy, sloping towards the river. Some of the men slept two on a blanket, which was spread on the ground, and one blanket lor a cover, and when they awoke in the morning they found the blankets they had i spread on the ground completely covered with sand, which had been washed over them by the rain. Others wrapt their blankets tightly around their shoulders, and took a sitting posture on their saddles. I, for one, slept in a sitting position.

MCEWKN. j THE GAZETTE. * LEWISTOWN, PA. Thursday Morning, Nov, 13. REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION. We observe that in Philadelphia, New York, and other places it has been deter mined to adhere to the existing Republi can organization. We propounded on all "What is to be done?*' who has been true to a union sition, seems to feel that there is a in this State which if combined would j carry with it more certain defeat to the j self-styled democracy than any other or- ; ganization, and is willing to second any ; project that will combine that strength.— One of our cotemporaries proposes that j the Americans and Republicans in this Stale unite together under the name of j American Republicans, hold county and ; other meetings for the purpose of such an organization, and call a State Convention ; for the nomination of a candidate for Gov- j crnor, Ac. There is some wisdom in this ! suggestion, though if such a State Con- i vention should be called for the purpose ! of deliberating on the formation of a union of this kind, care must be taken that the wolves in sheep's clothing, who in the last campaign played the part of traitors, i be excluded from it. The difference be tween genuine Americanism and true Re publicanism is not so great as to prevent a ; fraternization, for tune out of ten of each are more or less imbued with the main principles of both. HON. JOHN M. CLAYTON, 11. S. Senator frrm the State of Delaware, died last Sun- ; day evening at his residence in that State, after a long illness, the fatal termination of which lias for some time been anticipated. Mr. Clayton was a native of Delaware, and has, throughout the greater part of a life that had extended through nearly three score years and ten, been intimately con 1 nected with the public affairs of that State, j He has been elected three times to repre- j sent her in the ( . S. Senate—first from 1 1829 to 1835, secondly from 1845 to 1851, and the last time for the term beginning : March 4, 1853, which would not expire ! until March 3, 1859. Mr. Clayton was \ appointed Secretary of State by President j Taylor, on the 6th of March, 1849, and ! continued to administer that office with decided ability until General Taylor's j death, July 9th, 1850, his resignation hav- ; ing been sent in on the succeeding day.— ; Mr. Clayton was an active politician of! the conservative school. He was a warm. ! zealous and much valued friend of Henry | Clay. In private and in public life, he lias been highly esteemed by all parties, j and although not a man of remarkable j brilliancy, his death will be lamented by i nil who admire patriotism, zeal and fidelity to the best interests of the country. By the death of Mr. Clayton the new Democratic Legislature, of Delaware, will have a second United States Senator to elect. Pennsylvania Jiailroad Company. —By au advertisement it will bo seen that a second dividend of four per cent has been declared Au the stockholders, and those residing in this j county are requested to call at the Banking I House of Win. Russell, with their certificates, i to receive their dividends. The object of this ■ is we believe to settle up the interest account,-! some of which still remains uncalled for, and | issue new certificates to tho holders of the j stock. Thisdividend, remarks the Lancaster Whig, "proves what we have always said of this road, that it is one of the most important and ! best managed roads in our country. Mr. Thompson, its President, possesses many qualifications not enjoyed by the Presidents of railroads generally. With practical skill he unites unusual foresight and prudence, > and self-reliance that cannot bo moved by in Buences that often lead men in such positions i astray. He is seconded in his management \ by an able Board of Directors, and by able | and energetic assistants. We do not believe that there is another railroad corporation in j our country so well managed in all its details as the great avenue of trade between the At lantic and the Great West, the pride and boast of our State, and particularly of its metropolis, the city of Philadelphia." Arrival of Major Ben: Perley Poore at Bos ton, tciih his Barrel of Apples. —Major Ben: Perley Poore, the late Fillmore candidate for Congress in tho Sixth District, arrived in Bos ton on the 7th, with his wheel-barrow and barrel of apples—which he had wheeled all j the way from West Newbury, a distance of ' thirty six miles, in two and a half days. The job was in fulfilment of a bet with Col. Bur bauk, the Fremont State Senator elect, that , Fillmore would get more votes in Massachu- ! setts than Fremont. The Major, wheeling his apples, was escorted up State street about 2 o'clock, by the Fillmore Clubs of Boston . and Cliarlestown, a military company and a mounted cavalcade of citizens. The novelty of the performance collected many thousands of the people, and the Major was greeted with tremendous and tumultuous applause on all sides, lie delivered the apples to Col. Bur bank on the step 9 of the Tremont House, when both gentlemen delivered congratulato ry speeches, mounted on the barrel. Ten thousand people were preseut. A Vile Coquette. —A piece of perfidy is re lated of a bride at St. Joseph's, Mo., which has happily not often a parallel. It seems that two young men were addressing a young belle up town, and that she smiled equally upon both. At 9 a. m. one bridegroom was made happy by her pledge of hand and heart, jLidat 9 p. m. the other was made happy by jr of her person. They fled at tHHT and were wedded at Bloomington, just miles distant, and continued on their way to realms unknown. JiayThe St. Paul (Min.) Pioneer, of the 23d ult., says:—"lmmense is the destruction of property this year by fires in the woods, ; and on the prairies and meadows. We hear j the amount of hay consumed estimated at a thousand tons. In the rear of this city, up and down Rum river, all around Minnetonka, through the Big AVoods, out about Glencoe and Hutchison, and in parts of the Minneso- 1 ta Valley, the fires have done heavy damage; I and the atmosphere over an extensive area has been so smoky as to darken the sun." LOCAL, AFFAIRE. THE POOR HOUSE. —By a notice in another ; column it will be seen that the directors in- ; vite proposals for the Stewardship of the j Poor House and separate proposals for rent- j ing the farm on shares. The latter is tin- ; doubtedly the correct course as regards the j farm, but wo have some doubts as to the pre- I priety of the former. We believe a far better | plan would be to appoint some sympathizing, j trustworthy and competent man to the stew- \ ardship, pay him him liberally enough to make it the interest of himself and matron to perform their duties faithfully, and we have no doubt the Almshouse would soon become, it ought to be, an asylum to the poor and unfortunate. Their condition it is true j is often the result of their own mismanage- j mcnt and misdoings, but that is no reason I why they should bo either neglected or treat- ! ed harshly. Were HE who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb—who causes the rain to | fall on the possessions of the just and unjust j —to judge us by the same standard we too ] often judge the inmates of almshouses, there ! would be some fearful retributions where ! there is now fancied security. ESCAPE. —Two prisoners, George Smith and a colored man who had both been sentenced to the penitentiary for three years, were con fined in a cell of the new jail, and with the aid of a chisel managed to break through the brick wall on Monday night, and although hobbled thus escaped. The jail still in an unfinished state, and having once effected a passage into the hall there was no further j impediment to their flight. As no trace I whatever of their whereabouts can be found, it is strongly suspected that some outsiders assisted both their escape and concealment. Prof. Armes delivered lectures on Memory in the Town Hall on Saturday and i Monday evenings, and is now engaged in ' teaching a class under his system, which is j said to be both new and interesting. Major I Elbow thinks if the Professor will go about 1 town and teach a number to remember to , pay their debts, he would be entitled to a niche in the temple of public benefactors.

A'l American on Ihe Papal Throne. —A cor- • respondent of the New York Post, writing i from Rome, 13th Oct., says:—This morning j Col. Hiram Pearson, of San Francisco, was | fined one thousand piasters for seating himself j on tho throne of the I'opo. Amusements of Baltimore. —On Thursday, a party of men engaged a hackman to drive them around the City of Baltimore, and after I riding for several hours they beat the driver ; badly and shot him with a pistol, wounding j ! him very severely. " Clear as Mud." —An exchange paper says that " transcendentalism is the spiritual cog noscence of psychological irrefragibilitv, con nected with concuitant ademption of coneo- I lumnient spirituality and ctherialized conten tion of subsultery concretion." B@,„An Irishman was arrested for fraudu lently voting at the Gth ward polls in Pitts : burgh on election day, and immediately there- ' after about thirty other Irishmen who had I been hanging around waiting to do tho same tiling vanished incontinently. fieiCThe Underground Railroad appears to i be doing a large business. A repo-t of the ! Albany, (X. Y.) Vigilance Committee—col ored—states that between the 12th of Sep tember 1855, and the 15th of July, 1850, a period of 10 months, 287 fugitive slaves passed : through that city on their way to Canada. A Beautiful Lake Discovered. —The Hen derson (Iowa) Democrat says that on the Stli of last September, Edward Doulin and Mat- | t(iew Wilson discovered a beautiful lake 51 • miles in circumference, in Sibley county, township 14. On Saturday, 4th inst.. a num ber of persons assembled at the place, and gave it the name of Lake Washington. . BfiA„Last week, John Mitchell, of Chemung, I X. vomited up a lizard, which he suppos ed lie had swallowed four years previously. On this occasion be had drunk a quantity of whiskey, and several large potations of milk. [ ! and it is supposed the lizard got drunk on I milk punch, and was unable to resist the ejec j tive process. B£fi„Thc election riots in Baltimoro en Tuesday a week were as serious as many a i regular battle. The Republican reports that ; ! twenty-five persons were either killed or mor tally wounded, twenty-seven dangerously, i fifty-ono severely, and thirty-four slightly j wounded—making a total of one hundred and | ; thirty-seven persons injured in the riots at | j this election. CQuA young man named Youtzy metater- ! I ribie death in Alleghany township, Somerset | county, Pa., on Friday last, lie had been to Berlin with a two horse wagon, and on his i return liomc his horses became frightened, ! ran off, jerked him out, down in between the ' front hounds, with his head hanging down ■ ward. His face ami were horribly j bruised, bis eyes torn out and the sockets fill ! Ed with dirt and sand, presenting a uiosthur ; rible appearance. Terrible Tornado. —Wo learn from the Peo | ria Transcript, that on Friday afternoon, the ! 24th ult., a most destructive tornado passed ; over the northern portion of Schuyler county, ! Illinois, and iu its course completely prostrated j the flourishing village of Littleton. The place contained over a hundred houses, besides barns and out-houses, all of which were de stroyed, or so much damaged as to be useless, j Strange as it may seem, but four persons were i seriously hurt, and no one killed. Hollowafs Pills unquestionably the most j efficacious remedy in the Union fur Asthmat ic Complaints and Coughs.—The number of j cures these wonderful Pills have effected in ali parts of the Union, more particularly in 1 cases of asthma of long standing, and coughs, leave no doubt upon the mind of all who have used them, that they surpass anything 1 of the kind ever made known; by a persever ance with this admirable remedy, the sufferer | is quickly restored to health, after every oth er means have tailed; and it is a truth beyond ] dispute, that there is no case 6f bilious dis order, or liver complaints, but that will quickly yield to the powers of this mighty | medicine. * AN ASTONISHING MAN, Famed Throughout the World. —New York i and London are now the great manufacturing depots for Ilolloway's Pills and Ointment.— From No. 80 Maiden Lane, this city, and No. 1 244 Strand, London, are sent forth, daily, ; millions of boxes and pots of these inestima ble medicines. The heavy duty imposed by our government upon patent medicines, and the large and constantly increasing sale of j Ilolloway's Pills and Ointment in this coun- \ i try, determined their proprieter to make this I city his residence. Our republican system of j government is also in harmony with the pre- I dilections of Professor llollowav; and though j Kings aud Emperors have conferred upon i him honors and especial favors, these will never be so gratifying to him as the grateful hearts of millions of free citizens, who with- j j out any endorsement of sovereign authority, . fieely patronize his celebrated remedies for ! the prevention and removal of disease. As a member of the medical faculty, liav- i j ing long witnessed the inefficiency of the pro fession in curing disease, and being familiar i with the errors and follies of the profession, j we feel it an imperative duty to acquaint the American public with the arrival of this dis- : i tinguiahed physician in our city. His fame, | in a measure, preceded him to our shores, but i i the extent of the good be has done in the i ' world has never yet been proclaimed to the i | American public. Great as his reputation is, ! it is destined to increase far beyond that ! ! which ever adorned the character of any man ; j whose profession was that of healing the j I sick. i We shall embrace other occasions to cx i plain to the American people (he system, the ; theory and mode of cure adopted by Professor i Holloway. His Pills and Ointment, the one 1 ! taken internally, and the other applied exter ' nally, act in harmonious conjunction, and if; ! his directions are followed, will eradicate ev- j | cry disease incident to man in all climes.— I I They purify and cleanse the body, and restore | healthy action in every organ. Our space : wiil not permit us to say more at this time . respecting this distinguished man and his | celebrated remedies. He has one ambition, j and it is an honorable one. He wishes to have the world for a psitient; and he will sue : oeed in his desire. It is our object to address the American public in a series of articles, showing conciu- ! -ively that, in the whole history of medical science, no medicines hare ever been offered J for ilieir use which are so efficacious inrestu- ; ring health and preventing disease as those iof ProfeSsor Holloway. In tiiis series of ar ; tides we shall necessarily explain much ef the human system, and those physiological laws of life controlling our bodies, both in • health and disease. The American public are sufficiently intelligent to judge of their interests, and it is no longer in the power of these styling themselves regular physicians I to conceal from them important truths eon- . corning their health.— Xic York Citizen.
