Our Candidates- The olive branch held out to oar oppo nents was not accepted in such a manner as to enable the People's County Conven tion to take action on the subject, no one apparently being willing to commit himself either by a meeting, as a committee, or a solicitation in writing, although three out of every five declared themselves favora ble to such a ticket. This course left no alternative for our convention but to place one in nomination. To remove all obstacles of a partisan character Mr. Cib boney declined being a candidate, thus leaving the convention free to act in the choice of candidates, conservative in char acter and fresh from the ra:.ks of the peo- 1 pie. '1 hat they have done so all who have any knowledge of the gentleman named will readily admit, not one among them be ing amendable to the charge of violent partizanship. We have known them all for years, and aside from all party feeling, have no hesitation in asserting that no tick et has been nominated in this county since our sojourn in it loss exceptionable as a 1 whole in point of character and ability. — Let a comparison be made between the op p ising candidates, by any impartial man, and the result will be most striking. But it is not alone in this view that our conven tion has done justice to the p>eople : their nominees stand on the record as uncondi tional T nion men, opposed to all traitorous designs, and who believe that the prosper ity of our country and the perpetuation of our institutions are involved on the success or failure of the National and .State Gov ernments in putting down the infamous re bellion at the South, while our opponents, whose boast it was in days gone by, that they had no principles to conceal, stand in the suspicious attitude of favoring the di vision of this great and glorious country, and the inevitable destruction of the only free and powerful government on earth. TREASONABLE BARER*.— The New York Bay Book, News, and Journal of Commerce were seized at Philadelphia last week Ly the I . S. Marshal, and several of fices have been destroyed since our last, the publishers being apparently as crazy as any southern fools in existence. A case also came before the Grand Jury yesterday, in which a defender of the Day Book was mulcted in the. costs, the jury evidently thinking he had been served right. The Bay Book will yet stick to the skirts of some patent democrats with more jrmominv than ever did blue-light to a New England federalist. VfQ.. i he Lewistown Democrat has at last discovered that the editor of the New York Bay Book must be a traitor. What does it think of the men who circulated it here, and who still defend it ? The Cry for Peace The New York Express very pertinently says: Tlie democratic journals which hold out the idea of 'peace,' or cry peace, and encourage peace meetings, mean well, but if in earnest, they fai' to comprehend the south now, just as the r ,üblicans did before the war. The southern government and the southern lead ers now desire the destruction of the United states Government itself, and no compromises no concessions, would satisfy the present ad ministration of the south. Hence 'peace' with such an administrations becomes impos sible, save—not only in the utter destruction of our nationality—but in such surrenders of territory and property—as if made by a dem ocrattc administration, would bow it down to eternal in. amy. What democratic adminis tration. it now existing, would, for example, dare to surrender Fortress Monroe or Alex andria, or Arlington Heights, or the forts on the Gulf of Mexico, or the mouths of the Mississippi? It is evident that even if Mr Ben Wood, or Mr. Yalandigu&m were t e President, they would not dare give up *be guarantees of free navitrati.-n on the iuif oi Mexico, or the Louisiana, free Mississippi, which Jefferson, the great democratic father, bought from Spain in baying Louisiana. But the on'v peace possible just now is this sort of peace—ana hence it is idle to tnina •.•! t or talk of it unless Jeff. Davis can dictate " to the North such a peace on the Schuylkill or en the Ohio river, in front of Cincinnati. THE WAR NEWS. The news from the different seats of war continues unimportant. Gen. McClellan continues his reviews of the troops in and around Washington, and a satisfactory state of discipline is now reported. Gen. Bank - division is in the neighborhood of the Moooeacy. The C >nfederates are said to have concentrated their force on the T p per Potomac in the neighborhood of Lees burg. They are taking to pieces the re mains of the locomotives at Martinsbufg. with the view of transporting them else where. From Fortress Monroe there is nothing new bu? preparations for a naval expedition of some kind and f-.-r purposes to be hereafter developed. An attempt was made on Friday to de stroy the Court House at Towsontown, Baltimore County. The office of the Clerk of the Court was entered, the papers piled in the centre of the room and fired. Tbe contents of two rooms, including the important land records of the county, were entirely destroyed. An attempt was made by the Secession ists at Cumberland, Md., on Friday even ing, to capture ex-Gov. Thomas, while he was addressing a collection of Union men before a hotel in that place. The Union men drove the Secessionists, and continued the work Ly the destruction of the office of the Alleganian, a rabid Secession news paper. On Saturday another attempt was made to capture Gov. Thomas, by throwing the train on which he was proceeding homeward off the track. It did not sue : ceed. The difficulties that have occurred in several regiments in the vicinity of Wash ington. with regard to the length of their ; term of enlistment, will probably be heard of no more. Justice Wayne, of the Uni ted States Supreme Court, ha? decided in the case of a member of the first Minnes ota Regiment, brought before hiin on a writ of habeas corpus, that the government ; is fully entitled to the services of the troops for three years. Governor Gamble has issued a procla mation calling out 42,000 volunteers, to i -erve for six months, unless the rebellion -hould be sooner crushed within Missouri. If that number of volunteers are not speed ily forthcoming, he announces that a draft will be restored to. The reports as to the movements of the confederates are con flicting, but all the important points now held by the Federal troops are believed to be impregnable to any assaults that can be made upon them. An attempt was made at Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Saturday, to raise a peace flag. According to previous announce ment a meeting was to have been organiz ized after the raising of the flag. No sooner was the flag hoisted, however, than the Union men made a rush for it, pulled it down and tore it into shreds. A Union meeting was then organized which pai-.-cu a series of Union resolutions. Ti.c satnc night the Farmer newspaper office, pub lished in Bridgeport, was demolished, not withstanding the efforts of prominent citi zens to save it. Gen. Ben McCullogh has given the lest ; evidence that he is not dead by issuing a proclamation. The document is dated Springfield, and assures the inhabitants of the State that his sole motive in coming at the head of an army is to make war upon Northern foes and to drive the National troops out. The official reports of the battle of Wil son's Creek show the National loss to have been 223 killed, 721 wounded, and 2!1 missing—total 1.235, out of an army num be ing only 5,500 when it went into action. It is now stated that the confederate forces undertook to follow Gen. Siegel in his re treat from Springfield, but at the end of ' one day s march, hearing that our army had been reinforced they turned back. A despatch from Cairo informs us that the Lexington, one of the new gun-boats recently put in service on the Mississippi river, has succeeded in capturing at Padu- I cab, Kentucky, the steamer W. B. Terry, which has been used for conveying contra band goods to the confederates up the Ten nessee River. She ha? on board a number , of Minnie Rifles and one field piece. Two prisoners, a captain in the 4th Mich igan anu the assistant quartermaster of the Second Rhode Island regiment, escaped from Richmond and made good their arri val on the Potomac below Acquia Creek, after nine days traveling. They built a raft and started to work across the river, but were taken from their frail bark by the gun boat Union, and brought to the city, they state that the feeling and talk is strong in Richmond to march upon Washington. < >ur men (prisoners') there are crowded in to small rooms, and they are indifferently cared for, though in their letters they are obliged to intimate that every attention is ; paid to their comfort. 1 he office of the Stark County Democrat, . 8 secession sheet, at Canton, Ohio, was en- tirely destroyed last week by the volunteers ; of that place. The Germans of New York City have : raised a rifle regiment of a thousand men, and assumed the name of the Cameron Rifle Rangers. They are mostly old sol diers, who have seen service in the wars of Europe, and who enter on this contest be cause they are not willing to stand idle and behold the country of their adoption and adoration dismembered and destroyed. Two agents of Richmond tobacco facto ries, on a collecting tour, with a considera ble amount of money in their possession, were arrested at. New York. LOCAJL AFFAIRS. ' People's C -snty Convention met in the Town Hall on Monday, pur<a - ant to adjournment—a!! -!. ' legates be ing present. A letter from Mr. Gibbont-y , was read requesting the wVti irawu' of bis i name, whereupon, no pr qoeitioii having been made in pursuance of a Union tick et resolution adopted by this convention at its former meeting, the !■ .51*Utig ticket - was nominat d : Assembly, JOHN 7> BARB f Pr. rr.

VAXZ AA T. of Decatur •I The following rtsuiuti ns was then un animously adopted : WHEREAS, It has been a general desire of the Union-loving people of this County to present for their suffrages a Union ticket, so as, in the present perilous times, to avoid or at least ullay party feeling; and whereas, all effrts to attain this end having failed by the obstinacy of a few men who arrogate to them selves the right of ruling the s>> called demo cratic party — Therefore, Revolted, That we present the , ticket this day formed as composed of con [ : servative unconditional Union men, who re gard the preservation of our wise and bene ficent institutions as the first duty of the j Government and the People. Resolved, That we invite all who yield to th" National and State Governments a cordial support in their efforts to put down one of most infamous conspiracies conceived -ince Lucifer rebelled against the decrees of that mighty power at wi- se command he oven and earth, with the nations therein, were called into existence, to unite with us in sustaining I ali the measures deemed necessary to save 1 the government from disruption and the pe • [ pie from an anarchy and confusion which must of necessity follow the hell concocted right of secession. Revolted, That while we pray for the return ; of peacp, of amity, and of good will, we ar unalterably opposed to any and all proposi- I tions for the attainment of that object until those in open rebellion lay down their arms, ! > submit to the laws, and agree unconditionally to refer their alleged grievances to a National j Convention rf all the States, i Re.solitj], That in the language of Senator Douglas, as promulgated in Lis last speech, | " The conspiracy to break up the Union is a fact well kr; wn to all. Armies are being raised and war being levied to accomplish it. There can be but two sides to tbe controver • sy. Every man must be on the side of the , i United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war. There can be none ' j but patri ts and traitors." Rt-aolced, That we pledge ourselves to sus tain the National and State Governm nts in upholding the flag of < ur c tiniry against foreign enemies as well as •! roestic traitors, and that we end rse and approve ail the , measures hitherto ad pied, rt -t ... ly as b'-ing under the eircum-tanc-but n"e< -sarv to the welfare of the peopl -.

Logan Guards, reorganized, left here on Monday night, over 100 strong, and with the exception of four or five who 1 were rejected by the surgeon and honora bly discharged, have been sworn into the service. They had intended leaving in the afternoon, and were escorted to the station by the Slemmer Guards and a large num ber of citizens, but by some mismanage ment the mail train had no extra cars. — We shall probably give a list of the offi . cers and members in our next. Captain Zollinger'.-! company is also rap > idly filling up, and will probably leave in a day or two. This makes the third corn -1 pany of three years men from Mifflin county, and another could probably be j raised by some good officer. P. S. Two more companies are forming i in this county. TEACHERS' INK-MH TR —This is still in session at the Academy, occupied with the customary exeruises. We learn that to-night Prol. M J Mmith will deliver a lecture before it, Thursday night A.

C< MIN< !—We learn from Colonel Irwin that the splendid Keystone Band, twenty-one in number, now attached to his regiment, will be in Lewi-town on Thursday morning, and will remain lor several days. A drum e .rps of twenty is also now forming. The full Band will be twenty-six, >o that this fine regiment will have 46 musicians, 3 battal ions of 500 each, and a batterj' of artil i lery. BLANKETS AND SHOES. —We have au thority for stating that any quantity <-f Army Blankets are wanted by the Quar termaster General of Pennsylvania, and we commend trie subject to persons who have idle mills. .Shoes are also wanted, and by a number of shoemakers combining togeth er, each having a private mark, so as to make the delivery in -uitalle lots, a large contract can be readily secured. We can give some further information as to prices, Ac., and although n.>t so remunerative as custom work, yet there is ample room for j setting every fuller and shoemaker in the State at work. Union county we under stand is now supplying that department with about 450 blankets, weighing four ! pounds each, per week, equal if not s ipe ! rior to any hitherto furnished. PUBLIC MEETING —A meeting was held in the Town Hail on Wednes 'av even ing for the purpose of furthering the en listment of men in the Logan Guards, Hon. A. S. Wilson in the chair, E. L. Benedict, X J. Rudisili, F. J. Hoffman, and Samuel Comfort Vice Presidents, and L. J. Liberty and A. Thompson Secretaries, i Jos. W. Parker, Esq., addressed the meet ing in an eloquent speech, in which he took patriotic ground respecting the gov ernment measures adopted to put down re bellion. and stated he had come to the con clusion, as any sensible man would, that the President could have taken no other course than that pursued. He was followed by D. W. Woods and G. W. Elder. The of ficers were then appointed a committee to ' , wait on the Relief Board to request them to make suitable provision for the families lof soldiers who were in need. The follow ing persons then offered a bonus of 85 to the first who would enlist in the company : George Frysinger, 11. A. Eisenbise, J. A. Mathews, F. J. Hoffman, A. S. Wilson, G. W. Elder, Wm.

SWORD PRESENTATION. —The citizens of Mifflin county presented a splendid .iword to Abraham Cash, of this place, but lately of the New York 71st. Regiment, t r his gallant conduct at the battle of' Bull's Run, on last Friday evening, in , presence of a large number of citizens.— The j reseiitail >a speech was made by Jos. W. i'aiker, which was as follows : i AIIEAHAM CASH. —Your fellow citizens have j assembled here this evening fur the purpose of j presenting vo u with a beautiful sword. They t deemed it a merited and appropriate expres j siun of their gratitude fur the services which yon rendered the Government in the dark | days of its trial, and especially, of your gal- I lantry and devotion to its fortunes in the bat i tie of Bull's Run. " Honor to whom honor is due," is a sen j tinaent as ancient as it is universal and just, j Mankind in all ages, notwithstanding their ; diversity of intellect, intelligence and refine ment. have woven the gaudiest cbaplets; erec ) ted the loftiest monuments ; dedicated the pen of the historian and enlisted the sublimest efforts of the muse, *o celebrate the virtues, ' and perpetuate the names of those champions who animated by the electric fires of patriot ism, thwarted the machinations of freedom's adversaries, and saved from the grasp of the ' spoiler the consecrated symbols of their na- | lion's glory. When such tributes to valor are the spontaneous offerings of grateful hearts, who can doubt that the defence of our coun try, its institutions and Jaws, its temples and j ; altars, its hallowed graves of ancestry and sa cred homes of worth and beauty, is the incite ment of an inspiration that comes direct from Heaven. Whatever diversities of opinion men may entertain as to the justice of the controversy in which our Government is engaged, with you, sir, the argument has long since been exhausted. When treason, maddened bv the orgies of an acursed ambition, fired upon that flag which the true American adores j i next to the cross, yon turned neither to the j right hand nor to the left, but marched gal lantly forward with your brethren of the seventy-first, to meet the traitors amidst scenes where you knew danger was im j minent and that the death shot would fell thick and fast. What though the day was lost, all was not lost: there yet survived hope, courage, and the invincible determination ! to submit or yield, until the stars on our ban- I ner are permitted to keep watch over the graves of our heroes who sleep their last sleep on the red field of their glory ; and its stainless folds again wave in triumph ever every foot of federal jurisdiction from the Potomac to tbe Rio Grande. Accept then this gift. For the defence of the Government, for the supremacy of the Constitution, for the protection of loyalty and the extermination of traitors, let it he un sheathed always. dV hen you return to your comrades who shared with you the dangers of the past, and wiil unite with you in the conflicts of the fu ture, tell them that in thin war. in defence of Constitutional liberty, Pennsylvania will stand side by side with New York, that our united sentiment is, " where Freedom dwells, there is our country," and " where freedom's champion's Lave their homes, there are our friends." It oft times happens, sir. that they who take the sword perish by the sword. Should such be your fate—should you be found among the hecatombs that must be offered to appease the god of war—be assured that pj-terity will do justice to your memory. A m nu ment higher and more enduring than th&t which towered above the imm.rtc.. , Hundred that fell at Therm .pyi . uxirk. the spot where our patri t martyrs re-- j its granite tongues will f rerer : : CJ to the world, " here reposes the "-acred duet OF thosa who died in DEFER! . of Toe L E - , th* Constitution, and the Laws of their O . - trr."

I volunteered, with five others, to man ne of the guns belonging to the Sec nd Rhode I-land Battery. We served the gun i and helped to drive back the enemy. After they retreated, I counted eighty men lying ! aroun-1 and in front of our cannon, who had iallen before the storm of iron hail which we poured out. Our regiment retreated in good order a distance of two miles. We went back to New York and w-re honorably dis j charged. 1 was b-rn and rai-ed among you, and I very sensibly appreciate your kindness. I expect sO'.in again to be upon the tent- i field, and, when taking the sentinel's mi inight rounds, believe me, I shail often call to mem ory the pleasant faces I now heboid ar und me. I shall be comforted by the reflection that, while battling fir the only free govern rnent in the world and the proud g' r v of the stars and stripes, humble as my ! t in life may be. I am n -t furg -tten by the kind hear: ed and patriotic citizens of our beautiful mountains. Again, I thank y- u. and, my friends, be assured, whether I live to return to greet you again or perish amid the smoke and tumult of the battle field, I shall not for get while life remains that 1 am one of the sons of " Gallant Little Miffiiu." ) Ihe sword, which was made to order, i a splendid piece of workmanship, and bears the following inscription : THE CITIZENS or MIFFLIN COUNTY.

The attendance was not quite as full as has generally been the case beret -f -re, wing to the war excitement and to the absence of quite a number of ur in >-t active teachers r w attending n -rinal schools. But tli se present manifested m >st encurn gitig interest in all the exercises, ami put forth vigorous efforts to make due prepara tion on oil the t . cs assigned. The Institute is conducted Ly the County Superintendent, assisted by Pr f. M J. Smith, Principal fL< wistown Academy. The exercises of the several days havec n siste-i r.f drills in the diff-rent branches taught .a Ci intner. school-, with special refer ence to the best i!. des of giving instruction in the same. Marked attention has been giv en to the most simple and successful methods of teaching the fundamental rules of arith metic, those teachers who have had large ex perience illustrating the manner which tlic-v have found most satisfactory ; Prin. Smith gave his form of analysis and explanation, and imparted not a little valuable in form a tion respecting the origin <>t the figures we use and of our present weights and measures ID grammar great pains have been taken to secure a clear idea of the nature and uses of a good system of analysis, and the progress in this branch has been very gratifying.— Reading, orthography, mental arithmetic and geography have been carefully attended to, and physical exercises have nut been neglect ed. On Thursday night G. F. Davenport, A. M., of Kishacoquillas Seminary, gave an ; elaborate and interesting lecture on the Du ties which Teachers owe to Themselves. i Among other duties he urged the importance of teachers reading general literature, pre serving complete self control, being thorough ly impartial, guarding against ill health, and ! thinking their calling only one of several hon- i orable professions. Rev. A. Clark, editor of the School Visitor, made a short speech full of good suggestions and interspersed with i humorous anecdotes. Friday was given to Prof. Wickersham, who ' gave most instructive lectures on the Theory of Teaching, and illustrated his philosophy by giving the mode and rrder of instruction which he thought judicious to be adopted in several branches. lie also gave many valuable suggestions i respecting the course to be pursued in begin ning and arranging a school; of these sug gestions, the following are most important: The teacher should meet his scholars kindly, and, during the first day, try to win their confidence. He should allow pupils to choose their own seats, but should exercise general supervision of the operation, and should cause it to be distinctly understood that he reserves the right to change their seats whenever ho judges it necessary. He should tell them that if they can whisper so little and so quietly as not to interfere with the order of the school, be will allow them to whisper about their lessons ; but if afterward they become noisy so as to disturb the school, whispering must be strictly prohibited. He should let them study where they choose, but have it well understood that be must put them into classes suited to their actual attain ments. The members of the Institute were very at tentive during the entire day. and canny fail to have been greatly benefit j. evening Prof. Vk-kershan iectur fraa M • ■ Instruction in schools.
