We havo disposed 4 of the '-Gazette"
to GEORGE FRYSINGER,® Esq., the for
mer proprietor, by whom, in connec
tion with GEO. It. FRYSINGER, the pa
per will in the future bo conducted. ;
Their long experience in the business j
and knowledge of the interests of the
people of Mifflin count}*, will enable j
them to make the "Gazette" as for- |
raerly under their charge, a necessity ;
for the Union party of j
YVitbin the brief term that we had the 5
paper, has ended successfully for the
Union, the most unwarranted and un- j
holy rebellion that has ever disgraced i
. i
the history of the world. YVe used j
the influence of the '-Gazette" against j
the traitors, and in tiivorof the Union, j
and the people of Mifflin county at i
the late election, by a decisive majori- I
ty approved our course, and decided I
that a party that favored the enemies :
of the country in their efforts to de
stroy our glorious Union, is unfit to .
rule the nation and make our laws, j
With proper efforts Mifflin county will
always hereafter be found ranged on
the side of the country's friends. YY*e !
relinquish the editorial chair at a time i
like this with pleasure, and thank the
Union men of Mifflin county for their
cordial support of us during the past
year, and bespeak for the new propri
tors the "aid and comfort" they have
heretofore received from the people of
lids county.
DAVID OVER.
BACK AGAIN.
After an interval of ten months, we
again appear as proprietor of the Lew
istown Gazette, which paper will here
after be published by G. k G. R. FRY
SINGER. Our political status is so well
known, and both of us have so long
been identified with the Union partv,
that it is hardly necessary to say more
than that we shall advocate its best
• interests, not by utter subserviency to
all that is said and done by those in
power, but by a respectful canvass of
measures which now, more than ever,
will have an important bearing on the
future weal or woe of this country.—
The war is over, it is true; but we are
by no meanß free from danger in the
future, unless restoration and recon
struction be put upon a basis guarding i
agaiust all probability of another re
bellion, or, what would be still worse,
an insurrection on the part of the
colored population of the South a
measure which we honestly believe
many of the Southern cutthroats who
inaugurated the rebellion, are now
trying their best to produce by bar
barous and cruel treatment of the op
pressed race, and by the attempted
enforcement of unequal and unjust
laws. Many of the southern people
would no doubt gladly set down to
peacetul pursuits and endeavor to adapt
themselves to the new circumstances
brought on their heads by acquiescing
in the foul deeds of the traitors who
"fired the Southern heart," but so long
as these leading traitors are suffered
to go at large and in newspapers as
well as at public assemblages glory in
their treason, so long will it require
military authority to keep them in
subjection; for, it must be evident to
the least discerning, that whon once
recognized by Congress as States in
Full communion, the same evil spirits
who controlled them five years ago
would again resume sway, and then,
in defiance of President and Congress, *
enact laws favoring those who had
been in rebellion and oppressing those
who had been loyal. To suffer this,;
would be shameful and disgraceful to
us as a nation, if not tantamount to
National suicide. We believe the Pres
ident has become satisfied that icith i
this class he has been too lenient, and of
late has adopted a much stricter course
in granting pardons. Between himself
and Congress there is therefore now
no essential difference as to the proper
course to be followed, and we teel sat
isfied that until a better disposition is i
shown in several States lately in rebel
lion, tbey will be put upon their good
behavior and held under military rule-
After deliberating upon the matter,
we have come to the conclusion to j
publish the Gazette at its old terms,
namely, $1 50 per annum in advance.
We shall try this price for six months,
and if prompt payment is made in or
nearly in advance, we may bo enabled
to continue it. In job work and ad- !
vertising however we can make no
change.
To a number in and out of town, !
now on the list, who,'have heretofore
been dilatory in paying, we furnish a
paper this week, but will not do so
hereafter unless some satisfactory ar
rangement be made.
Should we feel able to do so, some
improvement will be made in the ap
pearance of the Gazette, a portion ot
the type in use being considerably
worn, and in other respects we shall
endeavor to print a paper useful and
interesting to home readers generally.
GEORGE FRYSINGER,
Lewistown, Jan. 10, 1860.
Is there a Christian Sabbath ?
Quite a controversy lately sprung
up in Philadelphia between a number
ot leading ministers and the publisher
of The Press, in consequence of the
latter issuing a Sunday paper. The
clergymen naturally took the ground '
that such a publication was a desecra
tion of the Sabbath, and accordingly
requested Forney to discontinue it;
while the latter contends that nearly
all the work is done on Saturday—
that its reading is good and useful to j
the religious community—and that
more work is done on Sunday on a
Monday paper than one published on
the first day. Since then others have i
participated in the strife, and hard
words given on both sides. The Press .
has also brought in another issue, and
now advocates the running of street
cars on Sundays, which it justifies on
various grounds. We have read all on ■
both sides that has thus tar been pub- I
lished, and believe The Press in the
main is wrong, by placing a matter of
convenience to the public before ahigher i
obligation, tor turn and twist the sub- j
ject as you may, it resolves itself into !
the simple question, ''ls there a Chris
tian Sabbath, and ought it to bo ob
served?" The laws of Pennsylvania !
recognize it, and accordingly prohibit ;
all unnecessary secular employment.
Why, then, Should a proprietor of a
newspaper be allowed to follow his oc
cupation in preference to a carpenter, i
shoemaker, blacksmith, or other me- I
chanie.' \\ e know from personal j
experience there is no necessity for do j
ing an}* work on a Monday morning
paper on Sunday, for all that is wanting j
to secure its outward observance is for i
the publishers of all daily papers to
enter into an agreement to cease work j
on Saturday evening, and not to com- j
meneo again until after 12 o'clock at j
night on Monday,which would be doing
no more than is done, by general ac- j
quiescence, by almost every other bus- j
iness or occupation followed. Again, j
why should a soulless corporation be !
suffered to run street ears on Sunday?
The Press says to accommodate those
who have no time to recreate during
the week. But how about those who
may have no money to spend? And
suppose those who do go should get
dry and want something to drink, or
want a feast? YY ould the Press give
the same right to the rumshopg it clai ms
for itself and passenger railways?
Besides, why close the stores? " The
people he speaks ot may have as little
time during the week to go shopping as
to go on pleasure trips. The recrimina
tion that sundry clergymen and reli
gious people ride in their carriages and
feast on Sundays is no argument at all.
If there is a Christian Sabbath and they
do wrong, it is no justification for eith
er The Press or passenger railways to
do likewise.
Even passing over the religious view
of the question, wo believe the general
observance of Sunday by all classes,
viewed morally, is a measure beneficial
I to tuiud and body, bringing a grateful
relaxation from business and labor,
and enabling those who toil early and
late during the week to spend at
least one day in seven in the midst
! of home or friends, in church, in Sun
day school, Ac. Unless extremely
poor or improvident, few but can find
both time and occasion for rational en
joyment during the progress of a year,
and the sober and industrious of this
class we are sure care but little for ad
ditional facilities lor visiting places of
public resort on that day—visits which
as a general thing, tend to vice and
, dissipation more than to virtuous en
joj7ment. Our opinion, with many
years of experience before us, is that
Sunday employments ought rather to
he further restrained than extended,
for if public opinion, which now holds
the major part in check, were to break
through its outward observance, there
would he no end to its open violation,
under just such pleas as the Press ad
vocates for street cars.
A Leaf of History.
Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, a noted rebel
and former patent democrat, has been
reconstructed, at least in part, and
adapted his new 7 situation according
t> circumstances, as appears by tbe
; following letter addressed to Gen. O.
O. Howard, Commissioner of Freed
men :
NASHVILLE, TENN., Dec. 22, 1865.
It affords rae pleasure to inform you that
I have been successful beyond the most
sanguine expectations in engaging labor :
for all my plantations in Arkansas and
Tennessee. 1 have already engaged about
4UU freedmen. and have full confidence in
making a success of the work. I hare
given in all cases the ireedmcn a part <sf
the crop of cotton, and I allow them land
for the cultivation of vegetables and corn j
fur their own use without charge therefor
L could have engaged l;O0U laborers if 1
had needed that number. My brother,
who adopted my p! n of work, succeeded
in engaging laborers for three places he is
working. I have put one large plantation
under white laborers from the North, upon
precisely the same terms on which I en
gaged freed men 1 feel anxious to try the
system of white labor of that character
for the plantation. Knowing the interest
you fee' in the success of the system ol j
; the freedmen, and feeling grateful for your j
kindness to me, I feel it a duty to commu
nicate the result of my work thus far
With assurance of my personal regard
and respect, I am, General, very respect
fully, GIDEON J. PILLOW.
It appears from this that he engages j
northern white laborers "upon precise- j
' ly the same terms" as freedmen, and
therefore, according to the lights of!
democracy north must be in favor of'
negro equality! Horrible! monstrous!!
: astounding !!! eatawalpous !!!! et cet
era, ain't it? Just think of it, ye
I 7 y
northern democrats, a southern broth
: er of yours employing whites and
! blacks on the same terms! Don't faint
—pray don't, or our local* will not
i hold the chapter of accidents that
might occur in this slippery weather.
Proceedings of Congress.

The Adams' express car which left
New York for B ston on Saturday
evening, was robbed somewhere be
i tween those two cities. It is supposed
the thieves got into the car before it
left New York. Money and bonds to
the value of §500,000 were taken. The

SBO,OOO in greenbacks, and a large
; amount ot bonds were scattered around
■ the floor. The car was an iron one.
The robbery was not discovered until
it reached Boston.

where highway robbery is still a sys

; English travelers, of noble birth, were
captured by the brigands in Livadia.
One was detained as hostage, and the
other two sent on their way to procure
money to. their rausom. After some
negotiation, the matter was settled by
each of the gentlemen paying £I,OOO,
making an aggregate amount which
should support a large band of brigands
for some time in such splendor as their
representatives in opera and melo
drama always display. The London
I Times appeals to the interests of the
| Greek people to have a stop put to
i such doings, unless they wish English
j tourists to avoid their shores alto
j gether.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' National
Union League ol Washington, has is
sued an address urging all honorably
discharged soldiers and sailors to pre
| serve their discharge papers, and not
; to part with them to speculators for
any sum. This advice has the official
| endorsement of Hon. J Broadhead,
Second Comptroller, who has address
ed a communication to the Paymaster
General as follows: It has been brought
to my notice that certain claim agents
are advertising that they are engaged
in the collection of extra bounty, from
two to three hundred dollars, for sol
diers who enlisted in 1861 and 1862,
and all other times when only one
hundred dollars were paid, arid are
thus fraudulently obtaining possession
!of soldiers' discharges. In no case,
! except that of veterans, has the extra
i bounty- referred to been authorized,
[ nor can it be paid without further leg-
I islation; and it is very important that
j soldiers should not part with their dis
charges through a misrepresentation
of their rights. 1 would therefore re
spectfully suggest the propriety of
giving official notice that in no case,
except as above,' is a soldier who en
listed prior to June 25, 1863, entitled
to more than one hundred bounty.
PILLS TIIAT ARE PERFECT.
i There are many good pills in the world,
i we hope, for the sake of humanity, but the
i pills that are really perfect, because they are
. I aperient, tonic, laxative, stimulant, counter"
| irritant, sudorific, and alterative all the same
time, are Kadway's Regulating Pills, sold
everywhere, and for only 25 cents a box.—
With these rare pills in your house, you can
do without purging by means of other pills
!or powders. You can do without salts, seid
! litz, castor oil, citrate of magnesia, senna and
manna, and so on. You w ant none of these,
i Radway's Regulating Pills are a substitute
I for the whole of them, and, what is better,
may be taken with safety and comfort by the
most delicate woman as well as the robust
i man. They are the only vegetable prepara
tion existing which will answer in place of
calomel, regulating the action of the liver,
without making you a life long victim to the
use of mercury or blue pill. They open the
i bowels in a proper and wholesome manner,
1 being composed of the extracts of suitable
i medicaments. They do not purge violently,
like the drastic pills of aloes, or Croton or
Harlem oil, or elaterum. by irritating the
■ coats of the intestines. They are, we repeat
, the "perfec " pill of the age, and, when ta
ken; keep all the secretions in a healthy con>
dition, compel the organs to do their duty
- with regularity, purify the blood, and secure
that inestimable blessmg. sound health.—
There is nothing like Radway's Regulating
■ Pilis for the cure of all disorders of the
stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and bladder;
for nervous diseases, headache, costiveness,
indigestion, biliious fever, piles, and all de
rangements of the internal viscera. For 25
cents H box you have in those pills a panacea
for some of the most painful and dangerous
of all diseases. Sold by Druggists,
i N. B. Dr. Radway's pills are elegantly
coated with gum, are free from taste or smell
. and peculiarly adapted for the use of all who
are averse to taking pills- A child can swal
low them with ease: they are mild, soothing
and healing in their operation, they purge
disease thoroughly from the system. Every
i family should keep them in the house. 2w
