A meeting of the Conferees of the Peo ple's Union Party of the 17th Congres sional District, composed of the counties of Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon, and Mifflin, was held at the National Hotel, in Tyrone, on Tuesday, the 2d of September, to nom inate a candidate for Congress. The dif ferent counties were represented by the fallowing Conferees : Cambria- Edward Roberts, M.S. Harr.Eph raim Crum. Blair—Samuel Berlin, A. S. Murrow, Jas. M. Ilewit. Huntingdon—Thos. Fisher, Perry Moore. 11. T. White. Mifflin—Wm. Cummins, ,J. W. Mutthers bongh, C. S. McCoy. Col. Wm. Cnmmings was chosen Presi dent, and J. M. Ilewit Secretary of the Conference. The Conferees from Cambria I presented the name of A. A. Barker, Esq.; j those from Blair, Hon. S. S. Blair, and those from Huntingdon, David Blair, Esq. ! The first six ballots resulted as follows : A. A. Barker, 3; S. S. Blair, G ; David Blair, 3. r l lie name of Mr. Barker was then withdrawn, and fourteen ballots taken, in each of which the vote stood : G for S. 8. Blair, and G for David Blair. A; motion was then made by Mr. Rob erts, of Cambria, to drop both candidates and take up a new man, which was lost by a vote of 3 for to 9 against. The 21st bal lot was then taken, which resluted in 9 for S. S. Blair and 3 for David Blair. Hon. b. S. Blair was then declared the nominee. Resolutions were then offered by 11. T. White, Esq., endorsing the National and btate Administrations, and also the course of Hon. S. S. Blair in Congress, which were adopted. A committee was appointed to inform Mr. Blair of his nomination. On motion, the Conference adjourned sine die. Highly patriotic—Tho man who had his name stricken from the military roll on the ground ot being over age, and finding fault with others. The Ornish and tie Draft. During the week between the publication of our papers of the 27th and3d September, we received information that certain locofo co demagogues were industriously at work ! among the Ornish and other denominations • holding religious scruples, telling them that their voting for Lincoln had brought on the draft, and that now they wovMl haoe to jo to tear contrary to their creed, and hun dreds of other misrepresentations to be found in the mouths of those who support ed Iluchanan and his cabinet of traitors I long after the Southern conspirators had commenced the war. This i.iduced us to examine the laws relative to military mat ters, and during our researches came across the clause in the Constitution of Pennsyl vania which provided for such cases. An article in the Lancaster Examiner so com pletely met the matter, that we transferred it to our columns, and we are pleased to learn that it at once frustrated the wily schemes of the unprincipled demagogues who were endeavoring to make patent de | mocratic capital, and allayed all excitement | on that score among those who were being j victims of misrepresentation. Those who ' intend to claim the benefit of the exemp tion must go before the Commissioner and subscribe to the oath required by the State authorities. When the Legislature meets the " equivalent" will be fixed by law. We will add here that the position of these men is much misunderstood. Their c.'eeu is that bearing arms is unrighteous j but recognizing the authority of our gov ernment, they are willing, first, to bear their full share of taxation and contribute liber ally towards putting dowu the rebellion, or cheerfully to submit to any fines that might be imposed; and secondly, that as they deem it as wrong to furnish a substi tute as to go themselves, they would take the latter alternative, if compelled to do so. Such was the language used to the editor of the Gazette by numbers of that denomi nation; and it appears to us that in claim ing a privilege given them by the Consti- i tution of Peunsylvauia, no reflecting man j will cast censure on them ay more than he will on the 'able-bodied minor who claims exemption under mere legislative enact ment for being under age, or the able bod ied man who claim ? it on the ground of be ing over 45. K£S-Our opinion that there would be no draft in this county, with which the val liant "militia inan" in the Lewistown Dem ocrat— (who by the by applied to have his name stricken from the roll on Saturday on the ground that he was not abb to per form military duty)—finds so much fault, will without much juestion be found to be cor rect,as the number o( men wanted is but 1 IS, a proportion of which are already enlisted. A little energy in the townships most in terested will furnish the remainder, and as the commissioner is authorized to accept them up to Monday next, the work can easily be done. Eveu should more he re quired, we believe an untrammeled spirit of patriotism has now arisen, which would render a draft unnecessary, unless a larje number would be asked for. B?'X-Slenker's organ in Snyder county, the Selinsgrove Times, says that the order ot .Tef Davis directing Gens. Hunter and Phelps, if taken ] Usonera, to l>e treated as felons and hung < v shot for arming ne groes against their rclel masters, would "be a just reward for sucli abolition vil lains—llang them as high as Hainan."— The paper from which this traitor language is taken is now and then quoted by the Lewistown Democrat, and recognized by those who call themselves democrats The old democrats of this county may well begin to look around and see in what com pany they are in, when our generals are thus stigmatized in the name of democra cy for weakeniug the power of the rebels, who have no better friends than those who would take the northern laborer from til ling the soil and leave undisturbed the ne gro labor of the south, which is now the only source from whence the rebel army and southern people derive sustenance. For the Gazette. j A Political Judge. j Granville and several other townships of ; to is county have been favored this sum mer with numerous visits from Judge Turner of Lewistown, so much so that when seen clipping along our country 1 roads, one neighbor remarks to another j " What's up now ? Turner is about again !" | As one who voted for him for the office : p ow holds, and others hold the same sentiments, I would remark that I did so rom triendship and good will, butcortain ii D i T 1 - the ex P ect °tion that ncariy ail his leisure time would be devoted to Stirring up party feeling, to inveighin against tlio government, and holding prb vate caucuses with men who think more of : party than of country. With his own opinions and the exercise of his rights as a voter, no one will complain or find fault, but a whipper-in of party and the office of Associate Judge are not altogether compat ible, and should he continue his "travels," j a spoke may yet be put in his wheel by'a contested election. JuQWER KNp. September 6, 1562. WAR NEWS, Invasion of Maryland. WASHINGTON', Sept. 8. i The intelligence received last night, and j additionally confirmed this morning, of the ' occupation of Frederick City, Maryland, ; by rebel forces, naturally excited much | surprise mingled with indignation and i alarm. Frederick is about GO miles from Balti | more by the railroad line, and 40 overland from Washington byway of llockville, Darnesville and Poolesville, Md. j There are but limited opportunities here ! of obtaining information from that point, I almost all the intelligence coming byway I of Baltimore. 'I he Government authorities received the news early yesterday evening in a written or documentory form. During last night immense bodies of troops were in motion for the Upper Potomac and else where, and to day the military operations continue. .Nearly all the rebel troops have | apparently been withdrawn from our front; . certainly none in large force remain. Their next movement is a matter of cou j joeture, hut precautions have been taken j to guard in certain quarters against possi ble damage by them. There is no doubt that large reinforcements of rebels were yesterday passing from Ashby's Gap south of Lecsburg, as if intending to cross at Snicker's Ferry, which is between Poiut of Rocks and Edward's Ferry. The reb els move in solid column, first cavalry, next artillery, then infantry, with the baggage in the rear. These again a~e followed in the same order by similar descriptions of troops. The people of the valley have contribu ted to their sustenance, and doubtless fur nished them with all needful information. Nothiug has been heard from our troops at Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg, who are cut off for reinforcements by the movement of the enemy toward Frederick. A gentleman who arrived here to day, having left Frederick between nine and ten o'clock last night on horseback, says that the rebel force there is estimated at 40,000 men under Jackson. From his conversation with the rebel soldiers, he de rived the impression that one of their ob jects is to destroy the Northern Cen tral Pennsylvania Railroad, and otherwise operate in that State, and that they have ulterior desigus on Washington and Balti more. Our informant was glad to leave the neighborhood of Frederick without caring to remain long to verify his data. The Intelligencer of this morning says: A number of troops have been dispatched from this city towards Frederick in order to meet the enemy. They were followed by Major General McClellan, who left here this evening, at GI o'clock, for the same neighborhood. It is understood that he has, with the approval of the President, placed Major General Banks in command of the forces retained in this vicinity for the defence of this city. The judiciousness of this is ap preciated not only by the people of Wash ington, hut by the country at large Gen. Banks lias been suffering recently from an injury received in action, but happily is now convalescent. It having become public that Gen. Pope bad preferred charges against Generals Franklin, Fitz John Porter, Ileint/.elman, and perhaps some others, and that those officers had been placed under arrest pre liminary to their trial, we think it proper to state that, although charges have been prefArcd, they have not been arrested, but are still on duty in the field. A gentleman who lias just returned from the late battle field, states that quite a number of the hacks pressed into the ser vice of the government on Saturday week for the purpose of conveying our wounded to this city, are still on the battle field, the rebels having taken the horses and thus prevented them from returning home. Their Wagon Train Sent to New Market. As soon as the rebels seized Frederick, they sent their wagon train to New Mar ket, eight miles distant, where they would be out of the way in case of an attack by our forces. The Way the People of Frederick Received the Rebels. As soon as the rebel soldiers appeared in Frederick, they met with the most en thusiastic reception from the Secessionists of that place. Every one of these sympa thizers with treason came out and invited the rebels into their houses, when they re clothed them so far as it lay in their pow er, and gave them plenty of food to eat. Those who were shoeless did not contin ue so long, and empty stomachs were soon filled with the choicest food. More than this, some of the traitors were very active in pointing out the Unionists to the rebel officer, and these people were soon recipi ents of remarks which were not altogether complimentary or soldier like. Union People Leaving for Pennsylvania. When it was noised around that the reb els had crossed the river, and were march ing on the city—for the Secessionists were well aware of the rebel intentions, and took particular pains to make them known—the Union people commenced leaving the town. All day yesterday the roads leading to Pennsylvania were crowded by these refu gees —men, women, and children—who were wending their way to the Keystone State, where they will stay until the rebels are driven from this part of the country. How the Union People were Treated. A great portion of the Union people in Frederick were engaged in business, such as grocery, shoe, and clothing stores, and of course, when the rebels came in these were the first places -visited. No money, except in some few cases where the soldiers were honest, was offered, and then it was Confederate scrip. Many a man was robbed of everything he had and not a cent re turned. Foraging wagons were also sent out, and everything wanted was immedi ately seized and appropriated to their own use. What the Rebels inteiw k> d&. My informant stated to ine lhat_ilje reb els openly boasted of being obfe't&'nfarch to Baltimore, and thence to Harrisburg and Philadelphia, sweeping all before thetn. They say they have left enough behind them to look after MeClellan and his army They never wanted to rest until they reach ed the Monumental City, and they then think they will be joined bv enough sym pathizers there to so strengthen their army that it will be invincible. The Latest Our forces moving ou th< e>icnj. As 1 am closing, [ have ir from reliable authority that cur forces are alive to the situation of aifairs and are moving rapidly on the enemy It would not be proper for me to say where our forees are or how large are their numbers, but you may rest assur ed they will come out all right in the end. Our soldiers are now fighting to keep their own homes from the desolation visited on Virginia, and they know it, an ] will be nerved to the conflict accordingly. I am anxiously waiting to hear the sound of Hooker's and Sigel's guns, and when T do 1 know all will be well. i he Harrisburg Telegraph of this morn ing says: notwithstanding the uiauy ru mors to the contrary, we adhere to the opinion that no rebel fo ees have invaded Pennsylvania, either at Gettysburg,"llano ver or Franklin county. We believe that the real intention of the rebels was to make an attack on Washington under a preten ded invasion of Maryland and Pennsylva nia. At 11 o'clock last night everything was quiet at llagcrstown, and nothing could be heard from the rebels. The frightened telegraph operator at that place has been superceded by Win. B. Wilsor.. The Battle on Monday Night. The Tribune's correspondence give'fur thcr accounts of the battle of Monday night, near Ceutreville. It now seems to be certain that both Generals Kearney and Stevens were killed in that action. The fight lasted for four hours, and took place at a point three miles in the rear of Cen trcvillc ending in the complete repulse of the Rebels. General Reno posted bis troops with his right resting against a wood. General Ste vens' Division was upon the left, Reno him self holding the right. After the line of bat tie was formed the enemy attempted to turn Reno's left Hank. Stevens, to anticipate and prevent this movement, advanced at the .head of his division to the attack. The enemy were posted in a corn field, the further side of it partially protected by the woods. In the centre of the Geld was a ravine into which General Stevens advanced. As he was lea ding his column some distance before reach ing the enemy's line, he was shot dead by a bullet through the head. His troops, dis heartened by his loss, and undoubtedly out numbered, fell back in considerable disorder. General llerio found himself at this period witliout any support upon his left, with his troops mostly out of ammunition, while the enemy were approaching in heavy force upon the Hank, and threatening to turn his pnsi torn and cut his force in two. It was at this juncture that General Kearney arrive ! upon the field. The night was very dark, the rain falling very heavily, with a terrible store of thunder and lightning. It was nearly im possible to discover at once the exact position of the enemy. On the exposed left liank of General Reno thev w.ov supposed to be ad voncing, and General Kearney, detaching one brigade to the left, rode forward to make a reconnaissance in person. Ho was told that there were no troops of ours in front of the position which General Stevens had held, and that through the Gap the Rebels were ad vane tig rapidly ; but dis regarding or disbelieving the information, went forward, accompanied only by an order ly, and coming suddenly upon the Rebel advance, was shot dead. His death remained unknown until tire fol lowing morning, but as he did not return to bis command, and was supposed to be a pris oner, General Birney took command of the division and arranged the order of battle. General Reno had at this time withdrawn entirely from the fight, and General Birney found the enemy in front of him considerably to the left of Reno's original position, and even threatening to turn his own left flank, General Robinson's Brigade, with Graham's Battery, First United States, was ordered to the left. General Birney's Brigade constitu ted the reserve, also strengthened by Ran dolph's Battery, which opened on the enemy with vigor and effect. General Birney formed his line of battle in front and on the centre with his own brigade, consisting of seven regiments. A musketry fire was opened on both sides and continued with great sharpness for perhaps half an hour. The enemy's line being sustained by artillery, was greatly shaken by the can nonade from our side, and by the heaviness of the infantry fire. General Birney, as soon as he perceived indications of the enemy's unsteadiness in his front, ordered the Fortieth—known as the Mozart—and First New York, both comman ded by (Jul. Egau, and the Scott Lite Guard —Thirty eighth New York—Col Ward, ta advance in a bayonet charge. These three regiments moved across the cornfield, down the ravine, and up the oppo site 6lope, with the greatest gallantry and de termination, and almost instantly broke the Rebel line and put them to flight. They were pursued by the fire of artillery, but ow ing to the darkness and the storm, pursuit by infantry for any distance was impossible. Our troops occupied the position of the enemy from which he had been driven, Gen. Berry's reserve brigade holding the ground all night. Incidents of the Battles. An officer of General Sigel's Staff says that the loss of General Schurz in the late battle will amount to nearly one-half of his com mand. In the battle of last Friday, in which the corps of General Sigel fought from the commencement to the close, General Schurz had the most difficult tasks assigned to him. He charged upon masked batteries supported by infantry three times, without suffering the least panic in his division. It was not until General Sigel discovered that he was not be ing reinforced that he ordered General Shurz to fall back. General Sburz is said to bare led hie men admirably, and to have display ed soldiafrly qualities of the highest order. Early on Tuesday morning a flag of truce came id from <3eneral Lee with word that Kearney's body had been found and would be delivered up. General lleintzleman at once detailed Major Birney, commanding Fifty seventh Pennsylvania, to receive it; and the Major started with a flag and an escort of in fantry and cavalry, but before reaching the outposts he met a party having the remains in charge. They had been informally deliv ered up to our men, without waiting for the nsual escort to come up. The body had been rifled of sword, pistol, watch, diamond brooch, iinger ring, and the pocket-book, in which the Genera! always kept a large amount of money. Among the visitors to see the remains was the colored servant of General Kearney, who burst into an agony of grief on taking a part ing lonk at the body of his dead master. General Sigel has shown us on the Potomac, as he did at Pea Ridge, some of tho most su- perb fighting and adroit tactics which have been seen since the war began. There is no piaise too high for his brilliant generalship. We copy from the New York Post a few brief words which attempt to do him justice. It will be remembered by our readers that he had just come tip from the Rappahannock, where he had for four days held the advance under a heavy fire, and where, too, he had displayed marked traits of generalship, such as have rarely been shown in this war. For two days be had been upon the march, and then, after a rest of only Four hours, ho aguiu took the advance in the most momentous struggle which our arms have waged with re belli.m. No precaution ws overlooked hy him which might guard against defeat or insure success. The General was not many miles in the rear, ready to come up only after the en gagement was over, to congratulate his tro ps on their success and to pun a brilliant des patch ; he was on the field, acquainting him self with every important position ; and long before the light could reveal his operations to a wily foe, every battery was stationed under his own eye and by his own direction. The enemy received no warning save that given by the roar of Sigul's artillery. The advance was not made at random ; scouts were sent out in every direction ; and all day long they went forth and returned to their General, w ho found time for caution even in the utmost fury of the contest. Ilis inarch was rapid, but at every step bis troops were undercover of their artillery. When the enemy was en gaged, his battalions were brought up in per feet order, and precisely at the time and place they were most needed. Under such leader ship thero was no faltering. By skillful man agement ore brigade rel eved another, and nothing was lost hy delay. At night, a! though the enemy had fought under cover of the woods, we had gained upon his position and held the advantage. Cofrt*jint place I will let you know that we, with the exception of a few of the boys of Captain Biglow'scum pany, are well. \V e are guarding the railroad from Acquia Creek landing to Fredericks hurg, and we have to go out on picket every two or three days, and on camp guard every day or so. We have to stay out on picket fur three days at a time, and at night we have to quarter on the ground. All w* have to lav on is an oil cloth blanket, and we havo our woollen blanket to cover ovar us, and still we get cold, for the nights are middling chilly. A soldier gets very uncouif.-rtable standing guard without heavy clothes on. \V have reliefs, vix, first, second, and third. The first relief stands from 'J until 11 o'clock ; the ECC ond from 11 until 1 o'clock ; third from 1 un til u o'clock, and so on through tho night, changing every two hours. The corporals have some fine times at night in gathering up their reliefs. Sometimes the guards get into a very sweet sleep and do not like to be die turbed. The second relief ha* to stand the most of the night. We manage it to get on either the first or third. Wo have very strict orders in our camp, which are as follows: we dare not go out of camp without a pass from our commanding officer, and if we transgress this rule we are immediately put into the guard house for two or three days, fed on bread and water : anil if we go on a mrch we dare not forage any. We dare not take even an apple without leave. Some regiments de stroy nearly every thing that they oan while passing through the country. We get toler ably good living here to what we have had in other places. We get plenty of good hard crackers and rotten meat to spoil our stem achs. That is good, is it not ? In South Car olina we often eat crackers that were full of worms ; but we are soldiers, you know, and a soldier is expected to eat anything of that kind, but I do not feel inclined to feed on such truck. The weather is very pleasant to-day. not too warm nor yet too cold ; verv good weather to fight in, and I think they are at it not very far off to day, for at iner*.>l- we can distinctly hear ver}* heavy cannonading On last Sunday night two companies of our regi ment went out towards Stafford Court house on picket and wo had some fine times. This is a great country for peaches. We have an excellent captain, lie is liked by nearly every one. We have done no fighting yet, and we are not anxious to get into one, though if we have to do some fighting we will do it right, for we have a good colonel. Welsh is our commander, and we would almost follow him through fire. If I had time I would describo to you the whole of our travels and voyages from Camp Curtin until we arrived at this place. Keep up the relief fund for the benefit of the poor soldier's wives. Lancaster county has sent us some potatoes and other vegeta bles, and I think Little Mifflin ought to pitch in and send her sons something. 11. S. W. Another letter, dated at the same place, after alluding to that part in the above which speaks of the regiment not being anxious to get int* a tight, as the sentiment ot the writer only, who he thinks lacks soundness in the upper story —jokes we presume —says : I consider that we have done as much as any regiment in the field, although we have not been in as many fights as some others have been. Part of the regiment was in the fight at James Island, which was a sad affair, and is long to be regretted by the command ers who were said to be under the influence of whiskey at the time. Gov.
