We issue! an extra on Wednesday
evening last containing the Governor's
Message and about nine columns of gen
eral news.
The Huntingdon Journal and Tluntin
don Monitor have been enlarged to seven
columns on a page, and the Lewistown
Democrat has added an inch and a half
to the length of its columns, and improved,
its appearance with new type, &c. These
printers must all have more money than
we have, and as nobody in these diggins
has been robbed lately, it is fair to suppose
they got it honestly. We stick to quality
more than size.
Harshbarger & Bare have started a new
paper at Mt. Union, called the Times. It
is too large for a country paper, (having
eight columns on a page,) as experience
will prove.
Congress.
The Suffrage Bill for the District of
Columbia, passed in consequence of the
rebel sentiment there, was vetoed by An
drew Johnson on Monday by one of those
inconsistent m.-sijes for which he has
become famous. The Senate promptly
passed the biii over the veto, and it also
passed the House yesterday.
The most important business however
was the resolution instructing the Judsci-
eiarv < 'onimittec to inquire into the con
duct of Andrew Johnson while Vice Pres
ident and actiot President under .Mr.
A-hlev's resolution, which eharres him
with usurpation, violations of law, cor
ruption in office, &c. The resolution pas
sed the House by lUS to 88, and is in it
self a stain of condemnation by the Peo
ple's Representatives placed on record
aciinst only two of our highest officers
since tiie formation of our government, t<>
wit, Aaron Burr and Andrew Johnson.
The Black Republicans lied like so
many sinners, when they insisted That
the war was to " put flown the rebellion
and restore the Union." They knew liiev
were lying at the time, and yet, for saying
this, democratic editors were perseeuted
and mohhed. Who \v:v right? Did we
not tell the truth ? — (<>: airhead Paper.
No you didn't and you don't now—per
haps you couldn't. The republicans are
doing precisely what ought to be done;
they put down the rebellion, and are now
engaged in restoring the Union, exactly
in the same way that law and order are
restored in all other cases. When riots
occur, mobs pillage and destroy, or bands
of thieves plunder an i burn, the law
oflieers put them down, and punish every
one who can be proved to have taken part
in either, and people call that putting
down rioting, Ac., and restoring order.—
Such white-livered curses like you, how
ever, are willing to say that perjury, trea
son, murder, incendiarism, and all other
traits of the late rebellion, are Jess crimes
than the petty cases before northern
courts, and instead of even punishing the
leaders, you are mean-spirited enough to
invite these cutthroats again to rule us
with slavery's power. The power to reg
ulate the Southern States is now in the
hands of Congress, and that* body is hold
ing the dog Nullification and the slut Se
cession by their throats, and common
sense says throttle them so that 110 future
generation will be troubled.

he gave the boy two hundred dollars as a

tThe Democratic Governor of Del
aware, true to his instincts, announces in
his late message, that he intends to enforce
a .State law forbidding colored men to
carry arms, and he eulogises the system
of selling colored criminals into slavery
as the best method of preventing crime.
He ignores the civil-rights bill, modern
progress, and the National Constitution.
fitar Under the late decision of the Su
preme Court that civilians charged with
crime cannot constitutionally or legally
be tried by military commissions, one of
the Judges of that Court will it is said,
shortly issue a writ by which Dr. Mudd,
Spangler and others of the assassin con
spirators, will be released from confine
ment at the Dry Tortugas, and brought
before a civil tribunal for trial.
The Senatorial Question.
The caucus of republican members to
nominate a candidate for Senator meets at
Harrisburg to-morrow evening. The Har
risburg Telegrajih, in an article on this
question, after discussing the impropriety
of introducing instructions to members in
the midst of a warm politieal campaign
and thus jeopardizing the .success of the
party, avers that a majority of the repub
lican members of the legislature are favor
aitle to Gen Cameron, and that he will re
ceive the nomination, says:
'• Evary thin far in the proceedings of the Leg
i-latiire—every net >ftlie Republicans in eaiwus—the
opinion* of our men iti th .Senate ami House
—the.iudgm-'nt of ttiose who help to win our politieal
victories, and the preferences of the men who pro
mote the industrial welfare of the State, have indioa
t - I. iti the m >-t emphatie manner, that Simon Cam
eron is th ■* choice for U. S. Senator of the Republican
partv of Pennsvlv'ania He has more votes honestly
pledged to him than ativ two othercandidatcs for the
tScnatorship. He has demon-tmted. to the satisfae
tion of all fair-minded Republicans. that he is the
strongest man in the RopnhhVan party. A m.ijoiitv
i>f R tpuhliean Senators and Representatives do not
hesitate to avow their preferences for him and arc
ready to go hack to their constituents and answer for
tiie.r course. Could there be anything more honora
ble jn the attitude of a great man and the course of
his fnends? Certainly not. And at this point the
oues-tion suggests itself whether the candidates for
the Senatoiship clearly in the minority will not he
hel : responsible for the harmony, wi/l not be mi le ac
count' Me for refusing to ob'/th - will of a majority of
ti' ir port ,- friernls, at a time when our compact*or
ganir.atioii rest not only the largest interests of the
psopioof the Keystone State, bnt the dearest hopes
oi the people of the Coion. G n. Cameron's friends
ask only for what is fair at the hands of the friends of
other eandidates. They do not ask anv man to sac
rifice himself in behalf of their preference, and now
they can justly claim that the same tnen do not sacri
fice the interests of the party in hehalf of their pref
erences. I'uring the election for members of the
Legislature. Gen. Cameron's friends showed that
their first ohleet was for the good of the Republiean
party, to secure p., victory and establish its princi
ple-. Kis friends now ask their political brethren to
display the same high regard for the organization of
the party, by entering the Republican caucus on
I'hui-d iy evening nest, and making Simon Camer
on - nomination for the U. S. Senate unanimous.—
There is nothing illiberal in this claim. It is sup port
ed by ti,e majesty <>t a fair majority. It i< justified by
a high regard for the harmony of the party II is only
a-king t a- Gen. Cameron what is conceded to all men
in a political contest after they have proven them
selves in a majority. The Government itself rests on
a manly obedience to the will of majorities, and that
moment those who represent the Republican party
ot this or any other State, refuse to respect and obey
the same power, the Republican party will seal its
doom of destruction.
'■lt is not necessary for us to reaffirm our attach
ment to Simon Cam ion. Tliat regard is founded on
a sense of what i- noble and just: hut we siill have a
larger regard for the harmony and victory of the Re
publican party. We do not want to see the victories
of the Republican m asses wasted in idle squabbles by
their Representatives. Wa are satisfied that ttv se
Representatives are determined this shall not be.—
Therefore we most earnestly trust, as we sincerely
bell we it to be just, that the friends of the weaker
candidates for the Senatorship will give way to the
stronger. Kvery step in the contest triakesGen. Ckm
wta wronger. liveryman in the party, who refuses
to recognize and respect this strength, as it is dem

puts himself m the position of a uial-ooiitem. and

a=k acquiescence inthe preference of a fairly attained
tnajoritv. and thev believe that no man. with a proper
seh'-respeot. will prop the f db-n fortunes of another,
when l i do so is certain to bring ruin on both.
'■ —We write fiauk'y on till- subject, because we
knnv we express ilia feeing of a majority of the Re
pubii.-ans in the Legislature, as well as that of a ma
jority of the Republicans of Penn -vlvania. Gen. Cam
eron lias established Ins claims to the Si-naton lup by
his arts, tiy these his frien Is have won a victory ill
his fivor for the Senatorial nomination, and as that
victory is respected so will continue lire harmony o!
the Republican party."
Whatever the result of the caucus nom
ination may be, we hope all will abide by
it. If Gen. Cameron is nominated, let
him be elected. If Mr. Stevens, Gov.
Curtin, .Mr. Pollock, or any other suitable
man, let the same course be adopted. —

New Orleans, Jan. 6.—Flake's Gal
veston Bulletin of to-day contains the
following card from Gen. Heintzelman:
T am charged with committing an of
fence against the laws of Texas, at Gal
veston. December 26th, by Judge Baldwin,
United States Assistant Attorney of Hous
ton. A few days since I was served with
a capias from Seguin, Gaudaloupecounty,
Texas, issued by Judge Ireland, who is
notoriously disloyal. I replied by fur
nishing the order under which I acted,
and a letter of my adjutant general, en
closing it to the agent of the Freedmen's
Bureau at Seguin, with the capias en
closed. He says he has been indicted for
theft, and for acts committed by another.
Under that order neither he nor I went
to Seguin. The present disturbed condi
tion of the country will not admit of my
leaving my post.
I would not deem my life safe in the
hands of the Texan authorities, as I know
of two individuals who were recently
taken from jail in Buttonhall county,
Texas, by a mob and put to death. There
is a strong feeling against all officers who
have been in any way instrumental in
sustaining the United States laws, partic
ularly those connected with the Freed
men's Bureau. The evident object of this
process is to annoy and oppress me in
performing my duty, and through me to
throw discredit upon the United States
authorities in this State.

853U The Whig says quite a number of
deer have been killed in Blair county du
ring the last three weeks in December.—
Mr. Jacob Helsel of Freedom township,
killed 14, six of them in one day. The
season for shooting them ended on the Ist
instant.
Godfrey Weyl, Esq., of Middle
town, was drowned in the Susquehanna,
near that place, on Friday evening. Mr.
W. had gone to Hill Island for the pur
pose of getting some hides (he being a
tanner,) and on his return to Middletown
broke through the ice on the river, and
sunk into a watery grave.
The best vindication of Gen. Cam
eron against the charges made by Forney,
Kelly and others, is the fact that Presi
dent Lincoln, in a message to Congress,
under date of May 20, 1802, stated that
the acts of Gen. Cameron censured by
Congress, were approved by the President
himsclfandull the Heads of Departments.
fiFA,. The Committee appointed by Con
gress to investigate the New Orleans ri
ots, have had some trouble to get an im
portant witness before them, but by the
aid of a squad of United States soldiers
they have at last succeeded in holding
him. It seems that Mayor Monroe'scivil
authorities had him arrested eight times
to keep him if possible, from appearing
before the Committee.
The Bellefonte Press says Aaron
Hall, a resident of Unionville, Centre
county, has during the season just closed
killed between 40 and 50 deer including
those he shot at licks in the summer.—
Aaron and his brother John together kill
ed in seven dat's hunting 15 deer and 4
panthers. The panthers were killed with
in about nine miles of Unionville. They
were tracked to their iair, and shot as
they came out.
A petition to Congress represents
that previous to the present extensive
preparations in tiiis country lbr producing
Bessemer steel rails, fovgings, &e.. foreign
agents charged one hundred and fifty dol
lars per ton, in gold, for the same rails
that they reduced to one hundred and ten
dollars per ton, in gold, when they heard
that such preparations were being made,
thus showing the necessity for a home
supply, in order that the foreign article
may be obtained at reasonable rates.
tfeiJ A Dill lias been introduced into
Congress to organize the militia of the
country, and to form a National Guard.
The latter, it is proposed, shall he com
posed of two regiments of infantry in
every State and Territory. This provis
ion, according to present circumstances,
would give a total of ninety regiments, of,
we presume, one thousand men each. The
plan will go to the Military Committee,
which may propose some other scheme.
Congress has power to organize a national
militia, and some movement in that di
rection is needed.

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GROVESTEEN & Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima T/iule of
instruments of the kind.
AVe cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more perfect, although we are slow
to admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it, over all others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say tnat the judgment t bus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
to their Pianos, it is admitted that a more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of malting excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." novl4-ly
