The Libeler of the Democrat Once More.
The discharged officeholder down street
continues ;o fret, fume and spit out the
pentup malice of his groveling nature, with
the ferocity of a caged byena. Having
lately proved himself in his own paper a
falsLer of the first water, it is hardly ne
cessary to notice his pusillanimous article
of last week so iar as relates to us person
ally. We opine it is something new that
we opposed the Mexican war, and equally
new that we ever opposed temperance.—
We will therefore pass over his demented
labors with a puce of advice which he can
lay to heart. He comes back to a coun
ty in the main Union-loving and true to
the country under circumstances which
might well make any man of ordinary sense
cautious as to what he says or does. Let
him refer to the files of the Democrat and
he will find that he more than once asser
ted Secretary Chase was opposed to the
removal of officeholders for political opin
ions, yet Mr. Henry Frysinger WAS RE
MOVED. The course too of his paper had
more of partyism than loyalty in it, and if
he fancies he escaped the condemnation of
many better democrats than he ever was or
ever will be, he is widely mistaken. His
j>ersonal defence of that scoundrel Yancy
when nine out of ten of all true-hearted
men believed that villain to have been
steeped in treason over head and ears—his
toadyism to Cobb and other traitors—his
publication of many articles, both before
and after the war, too well calculated to
make his readers cold or callous to a war
purely defensive of every right held dear
by a free people, are not yet forgotten) aud
it will be better therefore for him to re
pent of what he has done in poisoning
the minds of voters than in coining false
hoods against one who cares as little for
his billingsgate as he does for the barking
of a puppy.
I he editor of the Democrat save he i
wasn't going on his knees for a union j
ticket! As he never favored such a ticket,
but opposed it from the start, it is difficult
to conceive why he should talk about get
ting on his knees. Perhaps he has seen ;
the ghost of defeat with his Breckinridge \
ticket, and got scared into an acknowledge
ment that he was a little too fast in asking
- O '
for a member who would give aid and com- ■
fort to Jef Davis's crew by opposing the
State administration.

OF*klhe Louisville Democrat has a remar- j
kable faculty of stating a case in a few words:
"It is no longer peace that is to be sought in
Kentucky but safety. It is too late to ask for
peace Ihe fiat has gone forth, declaring
that Kentucky shall be coerced into the
Southern Confederacy ; that there never was
any other intention. The declaration is ac
companied by the act of invasion."

The Two Tickets.
The following proceedings of the Union
County committee of Union county we
copy from the last Lewisburg Chronicle :
At a meeting of the Union Committee of
Union county, held at the BufFaloe House,
! Lewisburg, Sept. 17, the following proceed
, ings were had:
Whereas, the friends of the Administra
tion of the National Government, in Union
' county, have expressed their choice for Wu.
j C. LAWSON, Esq., for President Judge, while
I those of Snyder and Mifflin counties have ex
pressed a like preference for SAMCEL S.
; Woods, Esq.; and whereas, we are satisfied
j that both of these gentlemen are worthy and
; competent, and are firm friends of the Govern
j ment in this time of its trial; and whereas,
we recognize the great principle that in all
questions of mere personal preferences the
( majority should rule—then fore, we the
i Union Standing Committee for Union county
j unanimously consent to and advise
fixation of the nomination of SAMUEL S.
j WOODS, Esq.. for President Judge of the
! 12th Judicial District of Pennsylvania, and
! recommend him to the cordial support of all
| the voters we represent.
C. 11. Gudykunst, Brady,
(in place of Mr, Fullmer)
David Henning, Buffaloe,
Thomas Penny, East Buffaloe,
George E. Sheary, West Buffaloe,
11. V. B. Lincoln, Hartley,
(in place of Mr. Reed)
Daniel Shaffer, N. W. Lewisburg,
Dr. Thomas S. Christ, S. W. Lewis
burg,
\Vm. Stees, Limestone,
John Noll, Kelly,
Jesse Beaver, Union,
Frederick Smith, Mifflinburg,
Samuel Marshall, White Deer.
(Limestone, Lewis, and New Berlin, not rep
resented.)
After the adjournment of the Committee,
the Officers waited upon Win. C. Lawson,
Esq., and informed him of their action. Mr.
Lawson stated that he fully endorsed the pro
ceedings of the Committee.
DAVID IISNNINO, Chr'n.
Theo. S. Christ, Sec.
This action puts at rest all prospect on
the part of the coalitionists —embracing
the worst class of Jef Davis' allies in the
three counties—to defeat Mr. Woods. Of
our candidate for assembly, JOHN D. BARR,
it will be sufficient to say that he is one of
those quiet aud unassuming, but well edu
cated farmers, whose worth is recognized
iu every community where such are known.
Strong in his devotion to the union and its
preservation at all hazards—with no ultra
party feeling in his nature —he is just
such a man as is needed from this county to
fill a seat in the Legislature, and we will
venture to add that if elected his votes
will prove to te such as will sustain our
gallant soldiers and the administration in
conquering treason. Let those who do
not know Mr. Barr inquire of his neighbors
in Brown and Union townships, and they
will become satisfied that he is even more
than we huve stated.
But J. Harrison lloss (says the Demo
crat) was in Mexico! Why so was Jef
Davis! and therefore, according to the
Democrat, that Prince of Traitors must al
so be a patriot. His being in Mexico
proves nothing at all except that he must
have been more of a patriot then than he is
now. We repeat our assertion that J. H.Ross
was one of the most vindictive Breckin
ridge disorganizes up the river, and that
before and since the commencement of the
war he has been unsparing in his denun
ciations of the national and state govern
ments. If uncompromising union men—
if our gallant volunteers—desire such a
representative, let them elect him and our
word for it his vote will be given with
that faction which will hold party to be
superior to the obligations of patriotism
ELIJAH MORRISON, Esq., of Wayne
township, and WILLIAM MCKINNEY, Esq.,
of Reedsville, are both well known citizens,
whose sobriety, integrity and honesty are
guarantees that they will fill the office of
Associate Judge for the well being of the
people, who are far more interested in these
officers than many suppose. In mere law
points they have nothing to say, but in
the punishment of crime, in granting li
censes for the sale of liquor, as well as
many other matters, they can overrule the
President Judge , and thus become instru
ments of evil instead of good.
Our objections to the candidates nomina
ted by the Breckinridge delegates are not
controverted by the new ally of whiskey
in the Democrat, but an abundance of per
sonal abuse is heaped on the editor of the
Gazette. He does not undertake to gain
say our assertion that two persons who have
fpr many years been engaged in the sale of
liquor, and whose prejudices naturally run
in its favor, are such as ought to be nomin
ated and elected to the office of Associate
Judge, and thus for five years control the
entire license laws—laws the abuses of [
which at the present day bring more heart- !
sickness and desolation into families, create ;
more criminal business for our court, and
make more paupers for our poorhouses—
all the expenses of which have to be foot
ed by the taxpayers —than any other busi
ness ever sanctioned by law. Aside from
this we have little objection to Mr. Turner
as a man, notwithstanding he is about as
strenuous a party man as oan be found, ex- j
cept perhaps his colleague, Mr. Coplin;
and that the objection is a valid one, we .
think we are safe in saying that Mr. T.
himself would not much object to returning ,
to tavern-keeping any day a good offer
would turn up.
' This is the third time Mr. Coplin ap
i pears before the people of this county for
j the same office, having been twice defeated
already. His " occupation" is so well
known that we need hardly say he has
t been a seller or manufacturer of liquor for
many years, and therefore probably thinks
a bottle of rye, whether old or new, the
palladium of American liberty. He is a
devout believer in all the doings of James
Buchanan's administration, sainted the
New York Day Book as long as it lasted,
and considers everybody a Black Repub
lican who don't believe that a slave dealer
has more rights than a northern white
man. Besides this, the only notable events
in his life are his temperance letter to Shaw
of the Aurora several years ago, and subse
quently his correspondence with John W.
Forney of the Philadelphia Press.
R. W. PATTON, late 2d Lieutenant of
the Logan Guards, a young man whose in
dustry has secured for him an excellent
reputation, is the candidate for county
treasurer. No one disputes his ability to
fill the post creditably, and it is therefore
unnecessary to add anything more, he be
ing besides well known by many promin
ent citizens, who will attest his worth as a
a citizen and sou. His opponent, Mr. Sam
ple, left farming last year for the purpose
of keeping tavern in Lewistown, with pro
bably an eye on the county treasury. The
only public experience he has had that we
know of was as Collector of Oliver town
ship, and this did not speak well for his
promptness.
Col. JOHN MCDOWELL, Jr., of Armagh,
a cool, sound and judicious farmer, is pro
bably as well fitted for the office of Com
missioner as any man in the county. —
Those who know him, and most of our cit
izens do, will bear testimony to his worth
as a man of sterling integrity, liberal sen
timents, and unquestioned honesty. Of
his opponent we know but little. There is
one of the name in the region where he
resides who sometimes deals in " horses,"
but whether the same man we cannot say.
For Auditor, llezekiah C. Vanzant of
Decatur has been named. He is an esti
mable young man, well qualified to fill the
office.
Such is a brief review of the tickets be
fore the people—the one for the Union
without equivocation ; the other nomina
ted by a convention which had no princi
ples whatever to enunciate in this impor
tant crisis of our country. The one lias
stood up firmly against the Southern trai
tors; the other had no word of condemna
tion lor them, but by impressive silence
gave sympathy to the master spirits of the
conspiracy. The one does not number
among its supporters a single tory or south
ern sympathizer ; the other has for its most
active supporters the ®fjrXew York Day
Hook men~&B and every tory and south
ern sympathizer in the county. Can l'n
ion loving citizens hesitate lor a moment
which to choose ?
Touching Incident. —A prominent citizen
of Versailles, who recently visited Caiup liob
inson, in Garrard county, remained on the
ground until the hour of retiring for the
night. Everything being calm and quiet,
be concluded to walk around and see and
hear what he could. His ear soon caught
the voice of prayer, and, upon nearer ap
proach, he found it proceeded from a tent
occupied by Tennesseeans. These pious
but persecuted men were engaged in solemn
prayer to the Almighty, invoking Ilis kind
care and the protection of their wives and
little ones left behind them in their once hap
py homes. Although not much given to the
melting mood, our worthy friend could not re
strain the tear of sympathy. lie felt grateful
that he was a ctizen of Kentucky, and he
felt bis soul strengthened to battle for her free
dom to the last extremity.— Louisville Jour.
" The Life of the Flesh is in the Blood," —
was said by inspiration long before Harvey's
discovery of its circulation bad brought to
light its purposes and uses. Now we know
not only that "life is in the blood," but that
disease inhabits it also. Many of the disor
ders that pervade the human frame, have their
home in it, thrive and grow in it. The cele
brated Dr. J. C. Ayer, of Lowell, has had re
gard to this important faot in making a rem
edy to cure these disorders. His extract of
Sarsaparilla purges out the impurities of the
blood and induces a healthy action in it that
expels disease. This looks reasonable, and
it is true, for we know by our own experience.
Seldom as we take any medicine, we have
nevertheless several times been under obliga
tions to the skill of Dr. Ayer for the relief
which his remedies never fail to afford us
when we are obliged to have recourse to them.
Catholic, Halifax, N. S.
Southern View of 'Peace Parties.,—The
Memphis Avalanche of the sth instant pro
nounces the 'Peace' parties in the Federal
States as 'arrant humbugs,' and says:
•They may hold their Conventions, whine
about peace, and pass their canting resolu
tions until doomsday, but will never effect a
peace on tbeir terms. They may lick the
feet of the tyrant if it suits them, but the
South will continue to fight him, and against
the people whom he governs, until she gets
rid of them forever.'
WAR NEWS,
We have had many rumors of battles
and skirmishes siuce our last, but come in
i such doubtlul shape that we retrain from
publishing them. One or two natal expe
i ditions are afloat against the Southern coast,
i of which we shall probably hear in a few
days. The principal news is the forced
surrender of Col. Mulligan at Lcxiuglon,
I Missouri. Why he was not reinforced may
; be apparent enough on the spot, but to us
! at a distance looks strange and unaccounta
j bio.
j IICDSON, Mo., Sept. 23.—The following ac
count of the siege of Lexington is furnished
to the St. Louis Republican by 1 l-Miry Brad
burn, one of Col. Mulligan's soldiers, who
left Lexington on Saturday uiorning: The
fort was surrendered "n Friday afternoon.—
The men fought for fifty nine hoars without
water, and had only three barrels of vinegar
to quench tiieir thirst during all that time.
There were no springs or wells of water in
the camp grouud, as has been stated. The
supply was from the river, and was cut off
j after a desperate fight on Wednesday. The
j camp ground consisted of about ten acres,
: and was located a short distanoe I rum the
j river. There were breast works entirely
arouod it with the exception of the portion
next the river. It was here the hardest fight
ing took place.
The rebels procured a large number of
hemp bales, rolled them in advance, and un
der their cover gradully succeeded in secur
ing a position in the rear. They then cut off
the supply of water, and had the fort comple
tely surrounded. They made but few charg
ges upon the breastworks during the entire
siege, their object seemed to be to surrouud
the fort and cut off the supply of water.
Having succeeded in this, they awaited until
Col. Mulligan was compelled to yield to the
foe more terrible than the twenty seven thou
sand rebels that surrounded him.
As soon as the surrender took place a party
took down the flag and trailed it in the dust.
An immense amount of gold, supposed to be
about a quarter of a million, fell into the
possession of the rebels. It was taken from
tbe banks and buried by Col. Mulligan on
the camp ground, some time ago. The rebels
speedily unearthed it.
Col. Mulligan wept like a child when he
found himself compelled to surrender. The
morning after the surrender the men were
all released on parole and ferried across the
river. The officers were retained. The loss
of the rebels is not known, but it is thought
to be not less than a thousand killed and
wounded. Their first attack proved more
disasterous to them than a long seige which
followed for a day or two previous to the last
attack. They were engaged in burying their
dead.
QUINCV, 111., Sept. 23. —A part of Col. Mul
ligan's command arrived here this evening.
The balance amounted to nearly 2,000, are
expected to morrow. Those who have arriv
ed say that the force at Lexington is only
about 2,500, including several companies of
Hume Guards, who are accused of having
shown cowerdice. The surrender of Lexing
ton was made at 5 o'clock on Friday after
noon .
The flag was hauled down by the Home
Guards. Col. Mulligan is spoken of in the
highest terms. He displayed great bravery
during the action, and wheu asked to surren
der he refused. His sword was takeu away
by force.
Col. Mulligan and all the commissioned of
ficers arc held prisoners by the rebels.
The Iteijn of Terror in Soul/tea.it era Mis'
souri.
We have seen, says the National Intelligen
cer, a letter from Southeastern Missouri, of
a recent date, in which the writer gives a !
shocking picture of the state of things under t
the rule of tho rebels. The writer speaks of j
the "crazed acts" of ex Governor Jackson, j
and of his declaration of war against the ]
United States, forcing every one to take a j
position for or against the United States.— j
The writer steadfastly remained an old line j
Union Whig. The rebels then attempted to
drive out of the State, by mob law, all Union
men. Tho writer refused to obey a written
notice to leave, until a rebel force from Ar
kansas came into the county. He says:
" This force, with tory citizens, committed
acts that would shock the rnbst brutal beast.
Horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, guns, powder,
and in fact every munition of war that could
be seized, was taken by them. The terror
inspired by the guerilla parties is indescriba
ble. Some boys were hung until uearly dead
and then let down, for the purpose of forcing
information from them concerning the princi
ples of their parents, and what articles
value were concealed. Other persons ran at
sight of the foe, and were chased and shot at :
by the rebels. Women were dishonored.—
Some were dragged by the hair through their
own houses, for the purpose of forcing infor
mation from them. Others traveled forty
miles without shoes, and almost naked, for
the purpose of escaping these calamities, and
I am oredibly informed that others had por
tions of poison prepared, prefering death be
fore dishonor. Many other outrages were
committed, which would excite the abhor
rcnce of the reader.
"There are a great number of Federal
troops crowding into this portion of tbe State, !
thanks to Gen. Fremont, and I hops and trust
the battle field will be transferred to the soil
of the rebels."
We have from the St. Louis papers an ac
count of tbe engagement of the 13th at Boone
ville, Missouri, between Capt. Eppstein, with
one hundred and fifty men, and six hundred
of the Confederates. After a hard fight of
an hour the enemy expressed their readiness
to make terms. They were compelled to
withdraw two miles from tbe city, to promise
not to molest any Union people, and to leave
the arms of the killed and wounded on tbe
ground. They acceded to these terms and
the fight was not renewed. Their leader, Col.
Brown, and his son, Capt. Brown, were kill
ed.
The Government has summarily put an
end to the intended third adjourned session
of the Maryland Legislature. On Tuesday
afternoon the city of Frederick was surround
ed by detachments of military, and the
Government agents arrested the Clerks of
both Houses and all the members present
who had previously manifesty their hostility
to the Government. The Clerks and som#
other parties were released on taking J^te
oath of allegiance, but the members of the
i Legislature were brought in custody to the
! Relay House, and sent to appropriate lodg
ings.
i . The news of the reported escape of Jno. C.
Breckinridge from Frankfort, to formally join
the conspirators, will be received by the pub
! lie without surprise. He has slowly passed
through all the grades of the crime of treason
agaiusthis country, until finally, if thisrumor
be true, he is, we suppose, about to reach tho
! culminating point, by either placing himself
; at the head of a body of troops organized to
i war against the State and Nation which have
| showered honors upon him, or by giving all
' the aid in his power, in a civil capacity, to
those who direct the military movements of
j our enemies. The flimsy veil of neutrality,
I and the guise of mere political hostility to the
■ Administration, are now entirely thrown
, aside, and in the contest, which has been nar
rowed down to a strife between patriots and
j traitors, he has openly taken his stand where
j his sympathies naturally lead him —with the
foes of his country.
General Anderson's Proclamation.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 21. —The following pa
triotic proclamation has just been issued by
General Anderson :
" Kentuckians:
" Called by the Legislature of this my na
tive State, I hereby assume command of this
department.
'• I come to enforce and not to make laws,
and God willing, to protect your property and
j your lives.
"The enemies of the country have dared
to invade our soil. Kentucky is in danger.
She has vainly striven to keep peace with
her ueighbors. Our State is now invaded by
those who professed to be her friends, but
who now seek to conquer her. No true son
of Kentucky can longer hesitate as to his
duty to his State and country. The invaders
must, and God willing will be expelled.
" The leader of the hostile forces who now
approaches is, I regret to say a Kentuckian,
making war on Kentucky and Kentuckians. j
" Let all past differences of opinion be ,
overlooked. Every one who now rallies to
the support of our Union and of our State is !
a friend. Rally, then, my countrymen, j
around ' the flag our fathers loved,' and which j
I h is shielded us so long.
" I call you to arms for self defence and |
for the protection of all that is dear to a free
man.
" Let us trust in God, and do our duty as
did our fathers.
" ROBERT ANDERSON,
" Brigadier General, U. S. A."
Letter from Richmond.
RICHMOND, Aug. 21st., 18G1.
Dear Father and Mother:—
1 presume you have received the letters I
wrote you previous to this time. I have noth j
ing new to write as we are in the same posi- j
tion that we were a month since. My health
is very good. The weather here is warm,
but as I have not been exposed to the sun for
7 weeks 1 suppose it would be pretty hard on
mo if I were to turn out. 1 reckon Boyd has
returned home a month since. I have not
heard anything of Capt. Hess since 1 was ta
ken. lam afraid my interests wi 1 suffer by
continued absence. If you see Hoes tell him
my mind remains unchanged with regard to
the fault of us being captured. I charge it
to the officer of the regular Army, who was
with us. He sent me word that the cavalry
were our own men, and consequently I made
no effort to get back to the column, until they
were within ten rods of us and commenced
firing on us; we then fired and retreated, but j
being in an open field, forty rods from the •
road, we managed to get out thore, when we :
were met by another party who headed us off. j
I had only twelve men with me, while thecav- j
airy were one hundred, not including the par- j
ty that attacked the Captain's men. There j
were none of ray men hurt. They are all j
here and all are well. lam very comforta- j
ble and am in hopes the Government will do j
something soon to relieve us. You need not j
be uneasy about me ; the only trouble is the .
loss of my baggage.
