RICH & RACY. —That magnificent spe
cimen of small potatoes who writes his
name "11. Frysinger, Editor Lewistown
Democrat," gravely requested the postmas
ter the other day to inform us that he
would claim the publication of the list of
letters ! As the amount allowed by law is
less than half our rates for advertising,
and is not worth more than perhaps six
dollars a year, the public will be able to
judge how hungry Cobb's late clerk is for
a contract. The thing is so insignificant
that had wc ten times the circulation of a
cotemporary, we would not stoop so low as
to ask such a pittance from a postmaster
opposed to us in politics. The boaster
however will be met, and unless he can
" swear" as well as the concern could lie
when giving its circulation to the
Deputy Marshall for taking the census, he
may find that even with his quire or two of
dead heads, "some things are mighty un
cer'ain."
ia stated that a member of the U. S.
Grand Jury oat west, who had obtained the
Sh? n of rccognitiou of the Knights of the
Golden Circle, was answered by about fifty
members in a so called democratic convention.
llow long will Union loving democrats in this
State suffer traitors to lead them into toryism?
for that branches exist in Pennsylvania
there is not the shadow of a doubt.
Wendell Phillips, the well-known champion
of the Abolitionists in this country, has writ
ten a long letter, under date of August 16, to
the New York Tribune, defining his position,
and denying many charges that have recently
been laid at his door.
DEMOCRATIC MEETING. —The self-styl
ed democratic convention met on Monday,
and after considerable jarring nominated
| the following ticket:
Assembly—J. 11. Ross, McVeytown.
Prothonotary—A. S. Wilson, Lewistown.
Commissioner—Thomas Hazlett, Menno.
Surveyor—Geo. 11. Swigart
District Attorney—T. M. Uttley, Lewisto'n.
In the evening, after a long delay, the
j court house bell was rung, and about half
past eight we looked into the Town Hall,
and were somewhat surprised to see a less
number of persons (31) in attendance—
political opponents included—than had
been present at the nominating convention,
all of whom seemed to be in the position
of not knowing what to do, for no officers
occupied the stand, and no speaker was
belching forth "nigger" as in days of yore.
11. J. Walters, Esq , finally nominated
Davis Rates as President, which was follow
ed by a few vices and secretaries. On mo
tion of Mr. Walters a committee of seven
was appointed on resolutions, leaving just
ten so-called democrats as the audience.
After a while the committee returned and
reported resolutions supporting the war and
the government in its prosecution, and
wisely making no direct references to pen
ding political issues. The reading of these
resolutions with the preamble must fall
strangely on the cars of subscribers to the
Lewistown Democrat, who have been week
ly taught in that sheet that Pres
ident Lincoln wasjoverriding the constitu
tion and law, that abolition was the cause
of the war, and that the government was
invading the rights of the States because
slavery was falling, not by the action of the
government, but as a natural result of the
rebellion. Mr. Walters in his remarks re
peatedly made the assertion that the mas
ses of the people were right at heart and
loyal —a position no one disputes—but at
the same time it is equally true that the
so-called democratic papers, and none more
so than the Lewistown Democrat, have in
culcated a false sentiment as to what loyal
ty consists of. If this is not so, how comes
it that in ninety nine cases out of a hun
dred where such expressions as "It is a
d—d outrage to raise troops to put down
or subjugate the South," hoping that Mo
ses Cunningham might have to ride for his
life, "the south is right," that there are
bullets enough in the South to kill all our
recent soldiers, " what has Cobb done ?"
and fifty others of like tenor, are made by
men called democrats. Nor are these men
shunned as they ought to be by those who
profess loyalty. On the contrary we have
ourselves seen leaders of the party taking
them by the hand, counselling with them,
and some of them we know have been spo
ken of for office !
Mr. Reed, an embryo candidate for Sen
ate, was called upon fur a speech, and made
a tolerable defence of President Lincoln,
as well as the Republican party, whom he
truly styled " I'nion savers." The only
demagoguism introduced was the nonsen
sical statement that if the negroes were
freed, they would overrun the north to the
detriment of white labor, and the stale at
tempt of Reed and Ranks to fasten the
cause of the war on the Republicans by
not voting for Crittenden's compromise.
All men who reflect on the subject at all
now admit that if slavery was abolished
the free negroes in the North would be
more likely to go South ih\u the Southern
negroes come North; and we think that
after the statement made by Rev. I. W.
Wiley (quoting Mr. Everett) in the Town
Hall but a week ago, that if a blank sheet
had been offered to the conspirators with
liberty to dictate a compromise, they would
not have accepted it, it required a good
deal of brass to introduce the catchwords
of Buchanan's cabinet traitors, even to such
an insignificant meeting.
A charge of bribery comes with pe
culiar grace from a fellow who was at the
3 me time bargaining for three or four whig
and democratic presses, and ; whc never
scruples to "blackmail" in an underhand
wa y for proof of which see last week's
Democrat, in which the statement is made
that the Lewistown Academy is entirely
vacant, thus creating an impression that no
one has taken it, although it has been ad
vertised for weeks that it will re-open on
the 3d we think most people
will come to the conclusion that a man who
professes to cease from personalities, and at
the same time makes a libelous charge
against another, has about as much religion
as one oi the devil's imps, i, about as hon
est as such fellows generally are, and about
mean as as any cub with African princi
ples ۩bb ever owned.

WAR NJEWS.
The .National Intelligencer of Saturday
morning, says:
As many rumors have for the last day or
two been industriously circulated respecting
alleged military events and movements in
the Department of the Army of Virginia, it
may be proper to state, from the information
that has reached us, that there is no founda
tion for these reports so far as they speak of
battles or of any results unfavorable to the
Union arms in that quarter. Considerable
| skirmishing has been kept up between the
advanced posts of the armies, but nothing
like a battle has taken place. The position
of the different commands of Gen. Pope's ar
my is understood to have been taken in ac
cordance with concerted plans. The move
ments that have been made are simply strat
egetic.
Ibe various corps (Tarnice of the army of
Gen. McClelian, having safely effected the
evacuation of their late position of the James
river, are now rapidly assuming the new pos
itions assigned them by the General in-Chief.
From Gen. Pope's Army.
IN CAMP NEAR RAPPAHANNOCK STATION V;V.,)
August 21, 1862. )
All quiet in front of our lines this morn
ing. Last evening reports came in of the
approach of the enetny in the direction of
a ford some two miles above this place on
the Rappahannock. Hall's Maine Battery,
which did suoli splended service at Cedar
mountain, and the Third New York were
ordered to proceed to that place with the
Eighty-eighth Pennsylvania and the Third
Maryland regiment, but the enemy did
riot make their appearance.
J luring the night it was thought they
would attempt to ford the river at some point
close by with their cavalry, but our army
being placed in position so as to defend all
these points, it is believed their purpose
was defeated. The entire army were un
der arms all night, but most of the soldiers
enjoyed a nap during the small hours.
In the skirmishing yesterday with the
cavalry of the enemy, the Ist Maine, Col
Allen, which was in advance, had 13 men
wounded ; one, named It. O'Connell, in the
arm, and lost five who were cut off and
taken prisoners.
The Harris light cavalry, which sustain
ed the most loss, did excellent duty, and
deserve the highest prai c for their steadi
ness during the engagement. The loss is
not know.., but it is not large.
The pioneer corps of the different divis
ions are busily engaged during the night
in throwing up earth works and construct
ing bridges to enable batteries and their
supports to cross the river in case of neces
sity.
The wagon trains on Tuesday from Cul
peper are said to have been eight or nine
miles long, and the Generals have said
there were enough to supply an army twice
as large as that in this department.
During the fighting yesterday and while
the rebel cavalry were about making a
charge upon the Harris Cavalry, a party
of stragglers numbering some one hundred
and fifty, who had got together in the
woods, unobserved by the enemy, suddenly
put in and fired such a volley into the
ranks as to send them to the right about
in double quick.
These men had no officers to command
them, line sergeant was present, hut lie,
refusing to fake the lead, a private stepped
forward to the front, and nobly did he per
form the duty which he thus took upon
himself. The little party continued some
hours picking off the rebels as often as
they came within range.
Private Griffith and a sergeant and three
men were left behind, haviti been used up
cn the march, and our cavalry being driv
en back they were taken prisoners. Their
arms, Ac., were taken from thcui and
marched toward the rear in double quick,
under threats of having their brains blown
out. While they were on their way, our
cavalry made a charge toward them, which
caused their captors to make haste to their
lines, and Griffith hid behind a bush, where
he was fired on by our men for a rebel.—
The others have not been heard from.
A correspondent of the Press, writing
from the scene of action, gives the follow
ing account of Sigel's exploit:
The attack at Kelly's ford was repulsed,
and the cannonading ceased about five o'clock
in the afternoon. Our line of battle was main
tained, and the men slept on their arms all
night. The enemy having felt our lines at
various points, but principally at those named,
we expected a night attack, and waited with
much anxiety, each moment expecting to
hear frou. him, but all was quiet (luring the
night.
In the morning, however, at a quarter past
five o'clock, he opened a battery on our centre,
and continued vigorously U throw shot and
shell for several hours. A little higher up it
was discovered that the enemy had, during
the night, erected a bridge over the river.
At this point the most brilliant and sue
cessful affair of the day is reported to have
occurred. In the vicinity of this bridge was
one of General Sigel's batteries, on which the
rebels opened a brisk fire, to which, for a
time, our battery replied with spirit. In a
little while our fire slackened, and then
ceased, the battery having been apparently
silenced or withdrawn. Three rebel regi
ments now rushed across the bridge, and
Sigel offered no opposition.
Everything seems favorable, but alas ! the
scene soon changes. No sooner have they
crossed than Sigel opens his battery on the
bridge. The fourth shot completely demol
ishes it, and at the same time a deadly fire of
musketry assails the rebels in front. Their
retreat is cut off. No hope is left. A few
shots from our battery, a charge, and they
are ours. Not a roan escaped 1 Nearly
2,000 are said to have been captured, and
about 400 killed and wounded.
The enemy having failed in this, now hurl
forward their forces with impetuosity, and
strive to outflank Sigel by crossing at French's
ford; but Gen. Pope orders up Banks and
Reno to the aid of Sigel, and the enemy is
again repulsed, and moves higher up the river.
The Guerilla warfare continues in the
South and West.
That the Government feels secure may
be inferred from the fact that the three
months' men, enlisted in June, are now be
ing discharged.
The War and Slavery—The President
and Horace Greeley.
In the New York Tribune of last Wed
nesday appeared a letter from Horace
Greeley, scolding President Lincoln fornot
carrying out the emancipation provision of
the confiscation act, and declaring tint the
timid and conservative course of the Pres
ident in reference to slavery was injuring
the Uniou cause at home and in Europe.—
The president thereupon replied, as follows,
through the columns of the National Intel
ligencer :
Executive Mansion,
WASHINGTON, August 22, 1862.
HON. HORACE GRKELET.— Dear sir: I have
just read yours of the l'Jtli, addressed to my
self through the New Y'ork Tribune. If there
be in it any statements, or assumptions of
fact, which I may know to be erroneous, I do
not now aud here controvert them. If there
be in it any inference which I may believe to
be falsely drawn, I do not now and here
argue against them. If there le perceptible
in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I
waive it in delerence to an old friend, whoso
heart I have always supposed to bo right.
As to the policy I " seem to be pursuing."
as yon say, I have not meant to leave any
one in doubt.
1 would save the Union. I would save it
the shortest way under the Constitution
The sooner the national authority can be re
stored the nearer the Union will be " the
Union as it was." If there be thoie who
would not save the Union unless they could
at the same time save slavery, 1 do not agree
with them. If there be those who would
not save the Union unless they could at the
same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with
them. My paramount object in this struggle
is to save the Union, and is not either to save
or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union
without freeing any slaves I would do it, and
if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I
would do it; and if I could save it by freeing j
some and leaving others alone, I would also '
do that.
What I do about slavery and the colored
ra.-e, I do because 1 believe it helps to save
this Union ; and what I forbear, I forbear be
cause I do not. believe it would help to save
the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall
believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and
I shall do more whenever I shall believe that
doing more will help the cause. I shall try
to correct errors when shown to be errors;
and I shall adopt new views so fast as they
shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to
my views of official duty; and I intend no
modification of my oft-expressed personal wish
that all men everywhere could be free.
Yours, A. LINCOLN.
The Massacre by Indians in Minnesota
—SOO Whites Murdered
ST. PAUL, Minn., Aug. 22.—Parties from
the Minnesota river reached here last right.
They state that the scouts estimate the num
ber of whites already killed by the Sioux at
500. This opinion is based upon the num
her of bodies discovered strewed along the
road, and by tlie trails of blood. It is be
lieved that all the missionaries have boon
killed. The civilized Indians exceeded their
savage brethren iri atrocittes.
Mr. Frcnier, an interpreter, who lias spent
most of his life among the Indians, volun
teered to go alone among them, trusting to
his knowledge of them and bis disguise to es
cape detection, lie dressed himself in Indian
costume and started on bis journey, lie ar
rived at the Upper Agency at night. The
place was literally the habitation of death.
He visited all tiic bouses and found nil
their former occupants lying dead, sonic on
the doorvteeps and some inside their habi
tations ; others scattered in the yards and in
the roads, lie went to tlie bouse of Hon. J.
R. Brown and recognized every member of
the family. They numbered eighteen in all,
and every one of them had been brutally
murdered.
At Bearer Greek he found that fifty ftimil
lies had been killed outright. At every
house he went into lie recognized the dead
bodies of nearly all the former inhabitants of
the place.
Among the dead bodies he recognized at
the Agency were the following: X. Githens
and family. John Moyncr, Edward Moyner,
Rev. Dr. Williams, Rev. Mr. Briggs, and two
missionaries.
Ex Governor Sibley is now marching to the
relief of Fort Kidgely. lie reports that the
Sioux bands are united together to carry out
a concerted and desperate scheme, and says
that ho will be oniy too happy to find that
the powerful bands of tho Yanktons and oth
er tribes have not united with them.
Mr. Frenier writes to Governor Ramsey on
the 21st inst., saying that he left Fort Rid
gely at two o'clock o that morning. There
were then over two thousand Indians at the
fort, and all the wooden buildings there had
been set on fire and were burning. Mr.
Frenier thinks that other tribes are joining
the Sioux, and that they will present a very
formidable army,
A reliable letter dated Glencoe, 21sr inst.,
says that the injury done by the stampede of
the settlers is immense, and that such another
scene of woe could hardly be found in the
South as in McLeod, Meeker, and the north
ern part of Sibley, and other count#e* in
Minnesota. In St. Paul's and the adjoining
country all the available horses are being
gathered together, and all sorts of weapons
will be used by willing hands for immediate
and summary vengeance upon these blood
thirsty Indians.
The first attack was made on the house of
Mr. Baker, on Sunday last, near the town of
Acton, and thirty miles from Forest City, in
which three white men and one woman ,wer6
killed. Gn Monday morning an attack was
made on Reedwood, and at the time the mes
senger left there a number of persons had
been killed. After the messenger had cros
sed the river, he saw the Indians firing into
the traders' stores and other buildings. He
estimated the number of Indians engaged in
this firing at one hundred and fifty. He also
stated that messengers had arrived at Fort
Ridgely wtth money to pay off the Indiana
the sums due them.
One hundred and fiftj of our officers who
hare been imprisoned in North and South
Carolina have been released by the rebels.
Many of them will .90 doubt take command
of the new regiments that are raising.
Wool is now higher than it has been for
forty-four years. This is owing to the large
demand for army goods, and to the advanced
price of cotton. It will not soon fall so low
again as it has been of late years ; and we
shall be surprised if the docks upon our New
England hills are not greatly increased-
g@„From an "aid and comfort" article in
the Democrat last week, we take the follow
lowing specimen, which people can desig
nate by its proper name :
" The people are about to be taxed to pay
for the war which the Republican party gave
the pretext for, and to provide for the millions
of stealings which the corruptions of its lea
ders have carried away. The Democrats
have furnished two-thirds of the soldiers to
the war, and nine tenths of the Generals who
have planned and executed our victorious
battles—and stand ready to take charge of
the country, and by liberal statemanship
and honesty of expenditure to restore peace
and prosperity, re establish the Union and
preserve its " only bond," the Constitution."
Democrat attempts to whitewash
Vallandigham into a Douglas man. The
Democrat itself had Douglas up for President,
but filled its columns with articles in favor of
Breckinridge.
The business men of St. Louis are getting
ready to defend themselves. They have cal
led a meeting to perfect a plan for military
organization and training, and one part of it
is the closing of stores at a certain hour of
the day, to allow all persons to improve in
military drill.
RtiS" the very best medicines in use among
us are those prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co.,
of Lowell, lie is a graduate of Penn. Uni
versity, whose connexion with that celebrated
College of Medicine has conferred tnors dis- '■
tinction upon it, than its diploma has upon 1
him. His remedies have become household
words not only in this country, but in almost i
every region of the earth inhabited by man. j
Their extraordinary fauie has arisen from !
their extraordinary virtues, and these are cer 1
tified by men of the highest station. We !
publish in our issue to day, n document sign
ed by the Mayors of the great cities in the
I nited States, Canadas, Mexico, Peru, Chili 1
anil Brazil, each of whom certify that the
physicians and druggists of their respective
localities have given their assurance of the ;
uniform good effects and superior virtues of j
Dr. Aver's preparations. This is evidence
that should satisfy the most sceptical, of their
efficacy, and we beg our renders to refer to it.
Especially do they speak in glowing praise of '
his Sarsaparilla—the beneficial effects and
truly remarkable cures that have been realized
from its use.— New York Sunday Times.

S. Diciiuson, a democrat of
the old school, who supported Breckinridge
! in 1860, defines the difference between the
true men and tha false in this dark hour,
i in a letter under date of August Ist, thus:
" My viewi are, to-day, what they ware
when this hell-born rebellion assaulted the
glorious 9r.g of our country's pride and hope
at Sumter— that it must be put down without
regard to cost of blood or treasure; put down
by the strong arm of a Government sustained
by the material power and cheered by the
moral energy of a great, free people ; put
down upon the theatre it selected for the in
auguration of its diabolical treason —the field
of blood ; and put down, too, by soveriug the
head of the loathsome serpent fro* its body.
It is not a mere rebellion or outbreak- ft is
the result of a dark and malign conspiracy,
conceived and prosecuted by a worse combi
nation of evil spirits than assembled at Mil
ton's 'lnfernal Conference.' It will never
relax or yield until it has overthrown the
Government or been crushed into the earth
beyond hope or prospect of resurrection; and
not only to its overthrow, but its annihilation,
should we, as a people, address ourselves.
"There can be, there should be. but two
parties to this contest in the loyal States—
