The men on this tioket are worthy the suf frages of the people, as they are well known to.be honest, capable and deserving—three essential requisites in these time's of pecula tion and fraud. They are our neighbors and friends, and have taken their position upon a platform broad enough and strong enough for the support of every loyal man. They stand upon the Constitution of the country—a plat form prepared by the fathers of the Republic, and around which every will-wisher of the country should rally in this day of terrible gloom and anxiety. We should not be less mindful of our duty than our fathers, nor should we nogleot the noble example set us by the patriots and sages of the Revolution. The Democratic State and County Tickets are oomposed of good and loyal men, and they should command the enthusiastic support of every Democrat and conservative man in the county. Its election would give a death-blow to Abolitionism, not only in Lancaster county, but throughout the Commonwealth, and would go farther in bringing about a restoration of the Union than an election in any other dis trict in the Northern States. The defeat of Mr. Stevens, especially, would inspire joy and comfort in every loyal State, and would be a severer blow to the Secessionists than a defeat of their army in the field. It is he, and those who follow his lead in Congress, who have, by their ultra abolition measures, well nigh driven the border slave States out of the Union. Elect him, and they will be Still farther driven to the wall, especially in view of the President’s recent Proclamation for abolishing negro slavery—defeat him, and the Union element will grow stronger and more influential in Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. GO TO THE ELECTION If ever there was a time when the grave duty of participating actively in an election devolved upon a people, that duty appeals to every lover of his whole country with re doubled force now. For two years our State and National Legislatures have been con trolled by the Abolition party—and what is our condition ! We need not particuarize the acts of mis-governinent, whioh have afflicted us, or the sufferings entailed upon the people. These are all sc patent that nobody oan be longer deceived. Every unprejudiced man will admit that unless a change-takes plaoe within a very short time, the whole govern mental fabrio will totter to its fall. Every real friend of the Union, of the Constitution, of Law, and of Order, must be convinced of the necessity of changing the character of legislation, by turning out “incompetents” and putting honest men and true patriots in their places. The people of Lancaster county have pre sented a tioket headed by George M. Stein- HAN that should receive the hearty support of every man who desires this much needed change. Remember that modern Republican rule has conducted the Nation to the very verge of ruin. If we would save the old ship of State from utter destruction, we should eleot Democratic pilots. It is the only party that has Bhown itself capable of administering the Government on Constitutional principles. GET ASSESSED. On next Friday, the 3d of October, will be the last day on which assessments can be made in time for the election. We urge upon every Democrat the importance of attending to. thiß duty at onoe. Will the Township and Ward Committees see to this matter imme diately. If the people of Lancaster county want honeat, intelligent and incorruptible men to represent them at Harrisburg next winter, they will eleot Abraham Peters, Nathan Worley, Dr. John Martin and A. J. Calb wrll. ; THE DRAFT POSTPONED. Governor Curtin haß issued another Procla mation postponing the draft until the 16th of October. Whether the General Election on the 14th had anything to do with this third postponeme&t does not appear, although there are some people wicked enough to believe that it had. . thx dbkd accobpci.hkd. We bad fondly hoped that PresidentLiH oopr Hhd entirely cot loose from the Abolition, wing of his own party, and that he intended, in the farther prosecution of hostilities, to jnaice it for thereatoration of.the Union ’on Constitutional principles; bait we have been disappointed. He bes yialdidto the'pressnre of the radica&, and, in a Ptoola mation-i:wiiiob beifound'ln another colwnn. oomes ont flat-footed in fever of a general emaneipation of theNegroea. This nnoonstitntional and impolitic measure, in stead of aiding in qnelling the rebellion, will, we very mnoh fear, have_a oontrary effeot.— It will intensify the hatred of the Sooth against the North, destroy the last vestige of Unionismin the slave States,, and make a restoration, short of extermination, literally impossible. Sorely “ madness roles the hour,” and the evil genius of our Nation seems to have blind ed the eyes of her ralers; and all this, too,' upon the heels of a glorious victory, .achieved by our gallant army under General McClel lan, and when farther and, yet more impor tant successes were anticipated at an early day. But the deed is done, and the consequences will follow in doe time. The war, henceforth, we presume, is to he prosecuted, not for the restoration of the Union as it was, not for the benefit of the white population exclusively, but also/or the enfranchisement of the black race . In vain may we now look for an early termin ation of the struggle. In vain may we expect to retain the border States in the Union.— The war, as it progresses, will become more bloody and vindictive in its character, and we shall have a united South ,to contend againßt. Surely Mr. Lincoln could not have maturely considered the awful responsibility he has as Burned, nor the tremendous consequences like ly to result from his act. Had this step been taken twelve months ago, no human power could have kept Maryland and Kentuoky and Missouri in the Union, and we very much fear they will now be lost to us, and that forever. We write under a deep feeling of sadness, more in sorrow than in anger, for we love the old Union, and would give anything to restore it. But the die is oast, the Rubicon has been orossed, and nothing in the future remains for our beloved country but gross darkness and impenetrable gloom. May kind Heaven pre serve our liberties and free institutions, for "vain is the help of man in this terrible crisis of our history. President Lincoln, by this one act, has out loose from the conservative wing of his own party, and thrown himself into the arms of the Abolitionists—henceforth, therefore, it is fair to presume, he will be governed and con trolled by such men as Stevens and Greeley and Lovejoy and Wade and Phillips. The Democratic party will make no such affiliation. They will insist in the future, as they have done in the past, that the war for a suppres sion of the rebellion shall be conducted on Constitutional principles—to restore the Union as it was, with the rights of each State unim paired. They want to see the whole thirty four States brought together again as they were in days of yore—the old Constitution supreme—and eaoh State enjoying all the privileges it was wont to exercise within the pale of the Constitution. This is what the Democracy everywhere insist upon, and upon this broad platform they place themselves and will bid defiance to Seoessionism and Aboli- tionism—twin sisters of Disunion. They will cheerfully furnish men and moans to the Ad ministration to bring the war to a sucoessful termination ; but they will never sanotion the attempt to make it a contest mainly for the emancipation of negroes, nor will they tamely submit, without entering their protest, against other and equally flagrant violations of the Constitution, such as are contained in his seaond Proclamation. This, Mr. Lincoln may as well know -first as last, and the voice of Pennsylvania will be spoken in thunder tones on the second Tuesday of October. THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS. Notwithstanding no true Democrat can ap. prove of the doctrines of the President, as enunciated in his Proclamations of the 2’2d and 24th inst., it is still our bounden duty to sustain the Administration in the legitimate prosecution of the war, and to render all the aid and encouragement possible to our gallant army in its efforts to crush out the rebellion. We, therefore, hope to see a united and ener getic effort put forth to put down Secessionism by the aid of bullets, while, at the same time, we should not flag in our endeavors to put an end to Abolitionism through the agenoy of the ballot-box. Secessionism and Abolition ism aro alike inimical to the Constitution and the Union, and bullets and ballots should be a sovereign remedy for both. As Democrats and lovers of pur country, let it be our one purpose to fight for the Union under the glorious flag of our fathers, and fight against Abolitionism in its wicked at tempts to destroy the Constitution. Let us act like American patriots and freemen to preserve our matchless institutions from the unholy attempts at their destruction, both South and North, and in all our actions be governed by the immortal sentiment of Daniel Webster—“ Liberty and Union, one and in separable, Now and Forever.” FORNEY A PROPHET I “ The rebellion is at an end! The President has done a good deed, at a good time. Be has pronounced the doom of Slavery on the American Continent.” So said John W. Forney in his Press of Tuesday last, the 23d inst., in referring to the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln. The rebellion it at an end, says this Abolition Seer. Well, we shall be very glad indeed if he has prophesied truly for onoe. But we are somewhat incredulous, and prefer waiting a few days for further develop ments, especially as we are not of those who believe in the efficacy of negro emancipation as a remedy for existing ills. We are strongly inclined to the opinion that the heavy dose prescribed by the Presidential Dootor will in crease the violence of the symptoms, and ren der a collapse of the body politic more than ever imminent. But we must all wait and see what effect the medioine will have on the sick patient. ABOLITIONISM. The Republicans at the late session of Con gress abolished slavery in the District of Colunjbia, and paid the owners of the slaves hundreds of dollars a-pieoe for them out of the people’s money, all of whioh will have to be raised by taxation. If the people of Lancaster county wish the same thing done in Dela ware, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis souri, and other States, they will vote to return Thaddeus Stevens to Congress. If they are opposed to the measures, they will vote for Georoe M. Steinhan. If the people of LancSster county are in favor of expending hundreds of millions of dollars in. buying the freedom of the slaves and colonizing them in some foreign country, and taxing themselves and their ohildren after them for many generations, for that purpose, they will vote for Thaddeus Stevens. If they wish to avoid thiß great additional burthen, they will vote for Georoe M. Steinhan. WHO BEGAN THE WAR V This important question is answered on our first page by a hard-working, industrious mechanio of this oity. It is somewhat prolix, but the communication is well worth a careful and attentive perueal by all ottr oitiaene. A BAII OOIIPUUOT. The published prpeMitfngs ofthe cabal of Abolition Governors who met at Altoona last : sat for the most time with elospd-; ■doore.ijveals the important fact that one of 'the principal objectogought by the .radical portionroftiiat.traitoronacbnclwe wtjA’tb difr place the gallant and accomplished McClel *an from the oommand of The Subject. was wminly djMassed, but, to thp credit of Governor Curtin and'Governor Ton,' they opposed the insane-proposition, and so effectually that the radicals oould not effect it. “ One of the misfortunes of this war," says the Philadelphia Ledger, “ and the greatest obstacle to onr sifocess, hasbeeifthecontinual intermeddling of the politicians [of the Abo lition stripe} with oar Generalsand their plans of actionr Fifty-thousand lives and millions , of expense, to say nothing of-the national disgrace from defeat, have been the conse : quences of this most unwarrantable'' and un wise interference for merely partisan pur poses.” General McClellan has been warred against by euoh men as Stevens and Gbeeley and WiDE and Phillips and Lovejoy, from the very first moment that they found he could not be used for their traitorous Abolition pur poses. So bitter and malignant has been this war against him, that many persons have thought he ought to throw up his commission in disgust and retire from the army, but for the well-established fact that no other General has shown the least ability to sucoeed him.— McDowell was tried and proved a disastrous failur.e. Pope proved himself a consummate i humbug, so far as commanding a large army i was concerned. Fremont ditto, and Bcell and Hdntek and Banks are very little better. In short, McClellan is the only man who has yet shown himself a match for the rebel Generals, and he is the only one for whose great abilities they have any dread. And yet this is the sueoessful military leader whom these Abolition Governors wish to put down, ■ and elevate in his stead either Fremont or Hunter, and simply beoause McClellan is a Democrat, and they are men of their own i stripe of polities. Will the people, the honest i masses of the country, who have to do the > fighting and mainly bear the enormous ex ' pense of this war, Jamely stand by and see i such flagrant injustice done to one of the best ■ Generals of this or any other country ? We : cannot believe it. Sinoe the above was in type, the Phila delphia Press denies that the cabal above re ferred to attempted to displace General Mc- Clellan. Perhaps the denial is correct; but the source from whenoe it comes is not to be relied on. THE PUBLIC DEBT: The Republican papers are endeavoring to make their readers believe that our public debt is only about $500,000,000. The annual inter est on this sum, at 6 per cent, would be $30,- 000,000. But the Direo(.Tax Bill, drawn up by Thaddeus Stevens, and passed by a Re publican Congress, for the purpose of paying the interest on the publio debt, will extract ggy* ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MIL LIONS OF DOLLARS from the pookets of the people ! Now, one of two things is cer tain : either the Republican papers are wrong in their estimate, or Congress has' grossly de ceived and swindled the people on this point, by taxing them just Jive times as heavily as was necessary I We leave the industrious and hard working masses, to judge between the Republican papers and the Republican. Con gress. The amount of tax levied by Congress, ($150,000,000.) is the interest, at six per cent., of TWENTY-FIVE HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! ($2,500,000,000) which sum, it is fair to presume, Mr. Stevens and his fellow-members of the Committee of Ways and Means estimated the publi* debt would amount to by the time the assessment and collection of the tax could be made. If we are wrong, we trust some Republican editor, of financial proclivities, will set us right, and show why a tax of $150,000,000 was levied to pay the interest for one year on a debt of $500,000,000. According to our notion of figures this is reckoning interest at 30 per cent., and, therefore, looks like rank usury! THE HABEAS CORPUS. How very different is the brave old English spirit whioh breathes in the memorable words of Lord Holt, from that which seems to actuate many of our fellow-citizens in this heretofore free oountry. That distinguished jurist and statesman said: “ When the liberty .of the subject is invaded, it is a provocation to all the subjects of England. A man ought to be concerned for Magna Charta and the law; and if any one against law imprison a man, he is an offender against Magna Charta.” The spirit of Holt animated the men who framed our Constitutio'n. Alexander Hamil ton, in one of the numbers of the “Federal ist,” oites with approbation a passage from .Blackstone, which ought to be eDgraven on the memory of all. Said he: “To bereave a man of life, or by violence to confiscate his estate without accusation or trial, would be so gross and notorious an act of despotism as must at once oonvey the alarm of tyranny throughout the whole nation ; but confinement of the person by secretly hurrying him to jail, where his sufferings are unknown or for gotten, is a less public, a less striking, and therefore a more dangerous engine of arbi trary government.” A SQUARE FIGHT. The present oontest, Bays a contemporary, is a oontest between the white and black raoes for supremacy. President Lincoln and the Abolitionists have made it so. The white race is represented by the Democratic party —the black raee by the Abolition-Republican party. The fact can no longer be disguised. The simple question to be decided is, whether the white man shall maintain his status of superiority, or be sunk to the level of the negro. Equality of races is demanded by the Abolitionists; they claim that, socially, civilly and politically, the black man should be the equal of the white. The Democrats deny and oppose this. It is a fair and square fight be tween the Caucasian and the African, and the issue of the contest will be decided at the ballot box. The question is referred to the people—to the white people. They must de termine it one way or the other—in favor of the negro, if they elect Abolitionists; in favor of the white man, if they eleot Democrats.— Draw the line at once—make the mark dis tinct—let the only question asked between this and the election be, “ Are you White ?” or, “ Are you Black ?” VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TIOKET. The.conservative men of this county should bear in mind that the eyes and hopes of the whole country are turned toward them in this terrible orisis. If we can defeat Stevens, the bosom friend of the Abolition demagogue WiLiior, and’eleot Peters, Worley,. Martin and Caldwell to the Legislature, we defeat Wilhot himself for United States Senator— and thus save the State from disgrace, and the National Councils from these pestilent agita tors. Go to work, then, fellow-citizens, and we can do it. Let no Demoorat or no con servative man falter at a time like .this. The salvation of our .beloved Union ..may depend on yonr efforts. item the LoatovfllA Journal. THE PRESIDENT'S proclamation. On first reading this proclamation, we sup- that it referred to the. 6th section of the bdnfiscation act, and proclaimed what the President understood to-be the legal effect of htelprevioua pfoclatpation-.fcunded onpthat sectiop. This in all oonsSe&cejWO&ld have bec&bad On rertitegtEepfootaroa tion a seaond time, hbwgnar,- that itmakes no referenoe to the fith' seotion of act;, and, on .examining this sectionitself, wo perceived that its sub ject-matter is different from that of the pro clamation, the former relating to all the pro perty of rebels in any State, while the latter relates expressly and exclusively, to all the slaves of the States in rebellion. It thug ap-. pears’that the proclamation is’'not and’ does not assume to be founded on the confiscation law or any other law. __ It is evidently an arbitrary act of the President as Commander- In-Chief of the Army and Navy: of the Union. In short,- it is a naked stroke of military necessity. - \ We shall not stop now to discuss the char acter and tendency of this measure. Both are manifest. The one is as unwarrantable as; the other is mischievous. The measure is. wholly unauthoriied and wholly pernicious.. Though it cannot, be executed in fact, and though its execution probably will never be seriously attempted, its moral influence will be decided and purely hurtful.- So far as its own purposeis concerned, it 1b a mere brtUum fulmen, but it will prove only too effectual for the purpose of the enemy. It is a gigantic usurpation, unrelieved by the promise of a solitary advantage however minute and faint, but, on the oontrary, aggravated by the men ace of great and unmixed evil. Kentooky cannot and will not acquiesoe in this measure. Never 1 As little will she allow it to chill her devotion to the cause thus cruelly imperilled anew. The government our fathers framed is one thing*above price; Abraham Linooln, the temporary occupant of the executive ohilir, is another thing, and a thing of comparatively little worth. The one is an individual, the sands of whose official ex istence are running fast, and who, when his official existence shall end, will be no more or less than any other individual. The other is a grand political struoture, in which is con tained the treasures and the energies of civili zation, and upon whose lofty and shining dome, seen from the shores of all climes, centre the eager hopes of mankind. What Abraham Linooln, as President, does or fails : to do, may exalt or lower our estimate of , himself but not of the great' and beneficent government of which he is but the temporary servant. The temple is not the. less sacred 1 and’ precious because the priest lays an un ; lawful sacrifice upon the altar. The loyalty i of Kentucky iB not to be shaken by any mad act of the President. If necessary, she will resist the aet, and aid in holding the actor to a just and lawful accountability, but she will ■ never lift her own hand against the glorious . fabric because he has blindly or criminally . smitten it. She cannot be so false to herself as this. She is incapable of suoh guilt and i folly. The President has fixod the first of next January as the time for his proclamation to go into effect. Before that time, the North will be called upon to elect members of Con gress. We believe that the proclamation will strike the loyal people of the North in general with amazement and abhorrence. We know it. We appeal to them to manifest their righteous detestation by returning to Congress none but the avowed and zealous adversaries of this measure. Let the revocation of the proclamation be made the overshadowing issue,-and let the voice of the people at the polls, followed by the voice of tbeir represen tatives in Congress, be heard in such tones of remonstrance and condemnation that the Pre sident, aroused to a sense of his tremendous error, shall not hesitate to withdraw the measure. The vital interests of the country demand that the proclamation be revoked, the sooner the better, and, until it Jb revoked, every loyal man should unite in vigorously wdrking for its revocation. If the President by any means is pressed away from the Con stitution and his own pledges, he must be pressed back again and held thereby the Btrong arm of the people. The game of pressure is one that two can' play at; and it is no slight reproaoh to the conservative men of the country that hereto fore they have not taken’ their fair share in this game as played at the National Capital. The radicals have been allowed to have the game too much to themselves. We hope this reproach will now be wiped away. THE INOAPABLES. The incompetenoy and utter failure of the present National Administration to conduct the affairs of the Government is so palpable, that even leading and intelligent Republicans can no longer shut their eyes to the fact; and maCy of the more candid and patriotic among them are beginning to make open acknowledg ment, and point to the Democratic party as the rook upon whioh they now rest their only hope of salvation from the terrible condition into whjoh we have been plunged by Aboli tion-Republican arrogance and imbecility.— The Springfield (Mass.) Republican, which has always been Ptrongly in opposition to the Democratic party, contains these significant remarks : “There is a latent feeling in this country that the Democratic party is tho only one whioh possesses the requisite ability and pluck to conduct things in stormy times. The mercantile and financial men always have participated in this feeling to a.great extent. The shambling way ih which the war has been managed by tho Republicans tends to confirm this notion.” We hope to have all the honest and true men of the Republican faith—those who pre fer oountry to party—with us before the election. They are now looking to Hercules for help, and as soon as they put their own shoulders Equarely to the wheel, he will stretch forth his giant arm, and the wagon will be drawn from the mire of Abolitionism and incompetency, where it now sticks, and placed on firm Democratic ground. The oountry will yet' be saved, but it mußt be saved, under Providence, by Democratio counsels. A GLIMPSE OFrSECRET HISTORY. It is stated as a probable faot that before the recent reverses in Pope’s campaign, four members of the Cabinet signed a written com munication to the President stating that unless General McClellan was deprived of his command they would resign. Apparently in consequence of this demand and threat, his body-guard were sent away from him on the afternoon of Saturday, August 30, and he was left without a solitary private soldier, even for an orderly. He was so left until Tuesday, September 2, when President Lin coln went to him and said that unless he took command of the army the Government wrb gone. There is mush curiosity to learn the names of the four members of the Cabi net who made this demand of the Presi dent.

Editors j The above correspondence shows what will become of the millions of slaves which by the Presi dent's Proclamation become free after the first of January, 1842 They will swarm into the North, especially the Border States, like the locnsts upon the fields of Egypt.— To we want them? Is the lazy, thieving negro a nuisance or a blessing to onr community? What does the record of cur Court of Quarter Sessions say, and whence does “Tow Hill» derive its celebrity ? And their labor, will it not enter into competition with the white man’s labor: and with what result? And farther still; their numbers will give them power. Will they not demand, and will we hot have to granttotbein, equality with ourselves, as dti- MDS? Thees are questions of the deepest importance to ns all, and should make vs ponder well the terrible consequences of universal emancipation. The President's Proclamation, to be sure, at present, amounts to little, and can only be carried into effect when onr armies gives ns control of Southern territory.

An Old Newspaper. —Oq*good friend, Mr. John Yackut, of the Fencibles’ Band, has kindly handed ns forperusal a relic, in the shape of .an old newspaper,' which be obtained whilst in Nashville. The paper was called “The Mirror,” and was printed at ‘‘Russellville, (Logan County, Ken.) -by John Adams,” and had for its motto, "Science, Liberty and Right.” The date of the out side of the issue before us is July 4,18£T. The editor in forms his readers that, "I. The Mirror will be published every Saturday on a Royal sheet. IL The price to snb* scribere will be two dollars per aon. paid on delivery of the first number, or a note for two dollars and fifty cents, pay able in twelve months.” The editor must bave been "hard up” for paper, for he says that "Just as tbe Mirror was go ing to press, on writing paper, the Editor received a large supply of Printing Paper, which caused him to postpone the.publication until to-day,” which was Thursday, July 9,1807. The paper contains an account of a Fourth of July celebration at Russellville, of which the editor says: "Tbe Fourth of July was commemorated at this place with un usual splendor—the day was sainted by tbe Russellville volunteers—an elegant dinner and an abundance of good wine was prepared by Captain Edwards, under an exten sive arbonr adjoining a delightful spring—the company was numerous, respectable and fashionable.” The paper is pretty much filled up witbcommunications, as was cus tomary with all papers In those days There is also a short accouut of the trial of Aaron Bnrr for Treason at Rich mond, Va. Turning to the advertisement page, we find that David ;Taylor advertises that his wife, Mary Taylor, haying left' hie bed and board, without any just cause, he forewarns all persons 'from crediting her on his account, as he was determined to pay no debts of her contracting. Even in those days our ancestors had their domestic diffi culties, and old Mother Eve would occasionally put tbe "dibanker” into the women’s heads. Wo shoold like to make other extracts from this paper, but time and room will not permit. What a vast change-has taken place in these United States since that paper was published fifty-five years ago. Then we were just beginning to rightly assume the- dig nity and importance of a great Nation, and everything be tokened a brilliant and glorious future. But, now alas! tbe hopes of onr fathers have been blighted, our bright prospects blasted, aDd instead of being a united and happy people' we are a nation rent in twain, and all the improved machinery of morderone warfare is being experimented upon to see which can kill the other fastest oil. God save (he country, for we have no faith in any mortal manbeiog able to do so. A Fatal Accident. —On Friday morning, about 2 o’clock, an accident occnrred on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near Rohreretown, by which John Otto, a con ductor on a freight train, wae instantly killed. It appears that part of one of the freight trains running east became detached, as it is supposed, by the breaking ot a coupling, and tbi* rear part of the train ran into the fore part caus ing a goneral smash up of three long cars and one short one, all loaded with wheat and corn. Two of the long cars and the short one belonged to tbe firm of Newcomer & Smith, of Oakville. Cumberland county, and tbe other car is owned by J. & J. B. Harsh, of Newville. Cumberland conuty. Mr. Otto, the conductor, was cangbt by the crushed cars and killed instantly, having his neck broken and being otherwise injured. His remains were brought to this city, and an inquest held by Deputy Coroner Sny der. They were dressed and placed in a coffin, and were removed to ShippeDnburg, Cumberland county, where his family resides, in the 10.40 train on Friday morning. The unfortunate man leaves a widow and seven children to mourn his loss. hir. Newcomer, of the firm of Newcomer 4 Smith, was aboard the train at the time of the accident, but escaped with but slight braises. He was buried beneath the corn, and his escape from death may be considered truly mirac ulous. The cars are a total wreck. Four at a Birth.— On Sunday week Mrs. William Bailsman, of Penn township, this county, gave birth to four children, all females, one of which was still born ; tbe other three were still living at last accounts, but very delicate, Tho mother, we understand, isa small, delicate woman. The attending physician was Dr. John M. Dunlap, of Macheim borough. New Work of Art.—Qape you seen the Aletnscopo ? If not, like tbe man who has never read Pickwick, you have a treat in store. Stop in at the Attao imom at yoor cailiest convenience, sit down beforo that hopper-shaped convenience, and look through the sixby elght convex window pane. Be your own showman, and change the picture when you feel like it. What do you see? “Venice”—‘ Jerusalem”—"A View on the Nile.”— Just so, and nearer the original than picture ever was be fore. As all the views are phot-graphic, tbe perspective is true, and for that reison objects occupy tbe same posi tfon as if the view itself were before ur. The secret of the instrument lies iu the glare. The ordinary pbotozraph is backed on heavy card beard. Light falls on it from a pair of reflectors. The sloping sides of tho camera, adapted to the direction in which the rays of light pass, aid in throw ing tbe picture off into tho distance Would you see the ‘ Queen pf the Adriatic,” without tho danger and expense of a s-a voyage ? Tbe nearest approach to that is to be fonnd in the Aletoscope picture. There aro five views of different parts of this famous city : "Birds’ Eye View of Venice;” “The Rialto,” with its arches; tbo government buildings standing out boldy; tbe lagoons in the distance; “Doge’s Palace;” bronze fountains—with their "frozen music,” idist, Sculpture; and "Tbe Grand Canal,” which—go and seo. Jerusalem, too. Bayard Tay lor says that of the old city nothing remains bat ajjart of the walls, the Damascus Gate and the Tower of Hlppicns. From this tower we look down upon the city and away off, where the hil : s bound tho horizon. Towers, minerots and mosques, bouses with their flat and even shaped roofs, right at our feet, betoken tbo Saracenic city, whose coun terpart is not to be f>undin Europe or America. Also, two or three views from the banks of the Nlie, tbe best of which, and indeed the best of all, well worth a dime itself, is the "View of Phil®,” with its broken stone and falling column, and the Nile, meandoring through a wilderness of rocks and ruins. The feature that especially recommends this instrument is, that objects are much enlarged, approaching tbe size of nature. It combines this with all the roondness and elasticity of the Stereoscopic picture. Tbe Aletoscope is tbe invention of an Italian artist, and this instrument, which is the only one on exhibition in this country, has been put up by J. J. Sprengeb, Esq., late Consul to Venice, who brought it with him on his return from Europe. Each visitor drops a dime or half dime into the box—the proceeds for the benefit of the Children’s Home.— lnquirer. —We have seen tbe above 6plendid work of art, and can cheerfully endorse every word of praise our neighbor has bestowed upon it. To be appreciated it must be s«-eo, but don’t forget to take a dime or half dime along with you to drop in the box for the benefit of the Children’s Home.— •Mr. SrßXSGE&’smiain object in the exhibition is to benefit that*noble and “ilanthropic Institution. Thb Collection of the National Tax— Important Instruct! jns to th* OLLreroas.—Thecollectors appointed under the recent act of Congress, to collect the National Tax, ore.making their arrangements and Trill soon commence operations The Commissioner of Revenue at Washington has just issued the following important regulations which are of vital Interest to our business community: 1. All mechanics, except those who merely do repairs, must be registered as manufacturers, and must take out a license a 6 such If tbeir annual sales amoont to $l,OOO. 2. But mechanics and other manufacturers who sell their own manufacture? at tho place where they are pro duced are not required to take out an additional license as traders. This does not indode rectifiers, who must pay both licenses. 3. If manufacturers have an office, depot, store-room, or agency, at a place different from the place where the goods are made, or if they sell the manufactures of others, in addition to their own, they mast pay a trader’s as well as a manufacturer’s license. Thus, a tobacconist who both makes cigars and keeps for sale goods in his line which he has purchased, must take out both licenses. So most a druggist, who also makes patent articles, or medicines, &a. t for which he has a private formula or recipe 4. Persons keeping bar-rooms or saloons, for the sale of Ifqaore, must take out a liquor dealer’s license. If they also furnish food, they must, in addition, take out an eat ing house license; and the sale of cigars, Ac., requires a tobacconist's or retail dealer’s license, besides. Billiard tables require a special license, and bagatelle tables are reckoned as billiards. 5. Commission merchants who are also ship or commer cial brokers are required to take out two licenses. 6. Grocers selling flour by the barrel, or salt by the sack, or any other article In the original package, are reckoned as wholesale dealers. 7. Stamps'most be attached to the papers requiring them at the time of their execution, and mast be oblitera ted by the person writing his initials upon them. Tele graph despatches mast be stamped and effaced when de livered to be transmitted. But railroad and telegraph companies are not required to stamp their own despatches over their own lines. 8. Arrangements will bo made with the collector of this district to supply stamps to parties desiring to porchaaa $5O worth or over, at the rates of discount established by the Treaanry Department. ? 9. Notes anil bills cf exchange drawn for a certain sam, with interest, will be stamped according to the principal sum. Foreign currency wilt be estimated at the real par rf exchange; the pound sterling, for instance, at the rate fixed for sovereigns, not at the nominal rate of $4.43%, nor at the market rate of exchange, which is something above the real par. 10. On and after October Ist, the following instruments must be stamped : AH agreements, appraisements, checks, sight drafts, premirsory inland and foreign bills of lading to foreign port?, packages, Ac., per express, bonds, certificates of stock or profit, of deposit in banks, of damages, and all other certificates, charter parties, brokers’ memorandums, conveyances, mortgages, leases, telegraph despatches, castom-bons* entries and manifests, policies of insurance—life, marine, and fire, and renewals of the same —passage tickets to foreign ports, powers of attorney, proxies, probate of wills, protests, warehouse receipts, and writs or other original process for commencing suit. Also, patent medicines, perfumeries, and playing r-ards. In reference to public houses and liquor dealers exclu sively, it is defined that in a tavern or public house where liquor is sold, licenses most be taken for each basinee?, the license for the tavern to be according to the rental, and the license for liquor In all cases of retail to be twenty dollars. By retail Is understood any quantity coder three gallons. To sell above that quantity is .wholesale, and the license is one hundred dollars. Restaurants which fornlsh bedding, and whichkeepliquors, are require to obtain three licenses —first a tavern license, secondly a license for the, liquor bar, of twenty dollars, and thirdly a license for the'eating bar, costing ten dollars, when the‘receipts amount to or exceed one thousand dollars per year. Bating houses are permitted to keep confectionary without an additional license. .AH dealers, in liquor by retail are required to pay a licence of twenty dollars per year. The penalty for re fusal or failure to take out license Is a fine of three times, the amount of duty or tax imposed by the law, one half of which goes to the informer. These taxes are, of course, I in addition to the State and city licenses now Imporei, and the accumulation of expenses will materially affect the smaller dealers, who abound in every part of the city. The ! prosecution of delinquents Is made imperative oh the col lectors, who bold the names and residences of all dealers, so that escape from the penalty is«ext to impossible.

Messrs. Editors: Talk as you may about abolishing party lines and dropping party issues in the coming elec tion, the stern fact must be met, that there never was a time when the peopleware called np>n to vote at an elec tion involving issues and principles of more vital import to the country at large than the Immediate present We are surrounded with rapidly acownnlatlng political com plications, which can never be adjusted by the sword; hut upon tbe settlement of which the life of our Government more directly rests, and tbe whole scheme of civil liberty must be established and perpetuated. It may be asked, how is Lancaster county to participate in the final settlement of these momentous questions?— The answer is simple, and can be understood by every child, if not by every voter in the district. A decided, straightforward, final and eternal repudiation of Thaddeus Strvens. his principles, his policy, and the black faction by which he is surrounded, the very existence of all of which proVoked the civil strife now shattering the country from centro to circumference,—tbe unfortunate toleration of which thus far has rendered a settlement of those diffi culties Impossible. - The continuance of this faction in power will intensify the strife, and drive both the contend ing divisions of curnDCO happy land Into the most desper ate extremities, only to be stopped by tbe final extermina tion of cne side, or the hopelets and disgraceful defeat of tbe other, with bat a fragment of a once powerfal govern ment remaining in a most helpless, shattered and bank rupt condition. The question as to what has been hie language and con duct during (he last session of.Congress,-or in any previous Congress. matter< not ior present purposes. Jt hasdU been bad enough, God knows, when measured by the true inter ests of the country. The fad remains, that he is, and has ever been, an Ultra and uncompromising Abolitionist, and as such has never represented the true political sentiment of his district. Tbis would be bad enough if it were ap parent that the people of this county had been deceived by him; but it is far worse, and speaks words of burning sbame to the intelligence of the district, that they have -always been aware of his proclivities, and even despised them—yet, for the sole purpose of opposing every thing that is Democratic, they would stultify themselves by pot ting a dangerous man Just In that position where he could do the most barm to the country, and the most damage to the political elements which governed their ownlproaperity. It is supremely inconsistent and most profoundly absurd for our people to lament the calamity of civil war, stigma tize those as secessionists who adhere to the tree-principles . underlying the foundation of oar civil liberty, or to raise a united voice against 'disunion as a doctrine subversive of the highest and holiest interests®! the Republic, and pour out their treasure and the blood of their best citizens, in order to arreet, if possible, (he terrible calamity of dis-' union as a final result— when Abolitionism, the true and only cause —tho hydra-headed monster who e deadly fangs are striking stroke after stroke, and pouring the virns of death and desolation into the life-current of the Union and Constitution—is nourished,- petted and fondled by a ma jority-of almost every Btate north of Mason and Dixon’s line. No doctrine or dogma (Jecesalonism not excepted) his ever been so daugerous to the tree genius of oar Republi can institutions as Abolitionism. Its Inception was in the wild, fanatical philosophy of Paritanlsm, and its growth was in the rotten soli of a crazy * bastard philanthropy, and the details of its operation were manifested only as the re sult of-a concealed virus, slowly bat sorely degenerating into a putrid, sloughing canker, down deep in the body politic, sapping tbo' life-streams of the government, and producing an atrophy of the very soul of oor existence as a nation. In its insidious character consisted the danger, for never as an open foe (as that of Secesslonlsm) could It have gained the alarming proportions It now presents, to an astonished world. Srevxifs is tree to these infimons principles, and only consistent in the fondness he has ever manifested, in com mon with all the other ultra, fanatical Abolitionists of his kidney in the country, for the agitation ot the subject, and the stern, unbending tenacity with which he clings to the Negro, and pursues bis dogma, regardless of consequences. Ihe people of Lancaster coanty have followed this dark, designing man tbas far, and have seen, and are dally wit ness ng, To the desolations of a terrible fraternal war.- tho result of his principles when applied to ihe operations of Government. Are they still disposed to follow the destiny of his principles, and endorse bis policy, notwithstanding the fact patent to every reflecting mind, that upon that very policy we are drifting to the whirlpool of destruction? Why this apathy? Why do not tha voters of Lancaster coanty stand erect In the proud consciousness of their manhood, and repudiate the man, and despise his princi ples? Obsxbvzk. ON WITH THE WAB. While there is an unfortunate difference of opinion as to the effeot of the President’s Proclamation, there ought to be none at all as to the necessity of barling all onr military power upon the rebels at once, so as to end tbe.war if possible before the time designated for the issuance of the final emancipation proclamation of the President. If there is any holding baok now on the part of the Abolition, ists in delaying the filling up of the armies, or in impeding and embarrassing the move ments of General McClellan, it will he be cause they care more for the emancipation proclamation than, for the Union. Let them be watched. Every- consideration -of publio policy now demands that the war be pushed on with the utmost vigor. . |&* General Pope haa aent hia first des patch, to Gen.

The of fense of the Baltimore commissioners consisted in their very properly refosiog to resign the official position they held under the laws of Maryland at the dictation of a newly made MajorQeqeral, jnst fresh from Massaobusettsr Their offense had this extent, no more. There was no allegation or pretense that they had been concerned either directly or indirectly in aiding those in arms pgainst the United States authorities. Surely even in our day of startling novelties in criminal jurisprudence, this ie.a strange of* fense to be deemed worthy of a dose imprison ment for more than a twelve-month in a dis tant fortress. Ik would require all the oun ning ingenuity of the moat remorseless des potism the world has ever known to torture this into an offetf&e worthy of such a severe punishment; - With a mind right these men. have endured*with a sublime courage and patienoe this gross outrage upon their constitutional rights. Innocent of any offense, they have nobly refused to compro mise themselves or the cause they represent either by base resignation of their official positions, taking the oath of . allegiance; or giving their parole. An unconditional grant of freedom is the only favor they can accept at the hands of an administration that has thus despotically trampled upon their rights. I honor them for it. It is the highest, moat conclusive evidence of their innocence and in* tegrity. But is it that a free people should submit in silence to such gross indig nities and outrages as have been inflicted upon these lofty-minded sufferers ? Is our indignation to be aroused at the il legal arrests and confinement for a few days of certain substitute broke**, and to find no ex pression when wrongs upon such high-toned, noble men are thus heaped mountain high These substitute brokers all profess devoted loyalty. They, like too many patriots in the community, would support the war by making the war support them . While we aro willing to protest against the illegal arrest of any man, even if it is for attempting to make a penny oat of the anxieties and fears of men exposed to a draft, we certainly find our sym pathies more strongly drawo toward the terri ble case of such noble spirits as Gatchell, Kane, Harrison, and others. Wo have little faith in tbe kind of loyalty that supports itself upon the necessities of the government, and avoids tbe battle-field—men whose loyalty takes all shades, according to their interest; whose opinions make their in terest the polar star. "What makes all dootrine plain and olear ? About two hundred pounds a year. And what was proved quite plain before Proved false again r —two hundred more.” There too, in tbe casemates of that distant fortress, far from home and loving kindred, some of them is close confinement, are mem bers of the late Legislature of Maryland— Harrison, Wallis, and others. Their offense, as alleged, was that they fully intended to pass an ordinance of secession; for this adminis r tratioo, among their various assumptions, have actually assumed one of the attributes of Deity—of looking iDto, judging of, and pun ishing the intents and secret thoughts of men's hearts; The facts of their oaoe as we have learned them from tho most reliable sources, are as follows: The administration charged that these men were about to pass an ordi nance of secession. That ordinance in the' hand writing of S. Teackle Wallis, one o,f the first lawyers of Maryland and: a member of the Legislature, Mr. Secretary Seward professed to bave in his possession. intention of passing such an ordi* nance could not for a moment have been en tertained, qr no Southern man with State right proclivities admits the right for a moment of any such body as a Legislature to pass or give validity to auy such ordinance ; and in the next place, shortly after their ar rest, Mr. Reverdy Johnson, upon exagiiqing the famous document in tbe hands of the Secretary of State, pronounced it a base forgery ; and we have since been informed that it was forged by a clerk, now in Washington, who had been indicted for some felony, and convicted while Mr. Wallis was Prosecutor of Baltimore. This put a new complexion on their case, and the Government offered them thoir liberty upon giving their parole. But, under tbe circumstances of the case, to have accepted the offer would have been tantamount to a confession of guilt. Mr. Harrison ad dressed a most able and fearless letter to the Secretary, demanding bis right for himself and bis companions, as American citizens.— That right was their unconditional liberation. It has been refused, and these men to-day are close prisoners in the military fortress that still wears? and desecrates, the name of one of the noblest martyrs who fell ip defense of our liberties. In Lafayette still lingers the venerable and able jurist Carmichael, whose crime was in luying down to a Grand Jury, under, the high sanctions of his oath of office, in the very words of the Constitution, '.‘that no man can be deprived of/iife, liberty or property, without due process of law.” Is it not your duty as a journalist to,protest against such outrages as these? Wbat is liberty worth if such usurpations can be coon tenanced ? If, when every marshal and every subordinate that is io tbe employ of tbe ad ministration, and every jury that goes into the box, can be manipulated to suit their purposes, and the courts of law are open, resort must be had to military dangeons, it can only be because this administration shrinks from meeting those they accuse beneath the full bright glare of tbe mirror of truth, and dare not sabject its acts to its searching, scrutini zing rayß. The rights so grossly violated are valuable—precious rights to men who aspire to be freemen, and can ho ‘ formidable to tyrants only .” The men who justify them will be found to be only those whom coward fear has emasculated or filthy lucre cor rupted.

This morning, about 7 o’clock, a horrible acoident took place on the Cumberland Valley Railroad, just beyond the bridge crossing the Susquehanna river, almost opposite the city. ' A troop train of some twenty freight cars, containing the 20th Regiment Pennsylvania Militia, including the Corn Exchange Com pany and Revenue Guards of Philadelphia, was on tho way to tbis city from Greencastle, where they had been encamped for a few days. The train was behind time, and had been waiting for a train from Carlisle, but, none coming, the train proceeded. The weather was very foggy, and it was with the utmost difficulty that objects could be descried along the track, but every thiDg went on smoothly until within about a mile of the bridge, when the train came suddenly on an engine stationed on the track. The engineer of the troop trainimmediately reversed bis engine, but too late to prevent the collision, and the engines came together with terrific force. • The car immediately behind the tender of the troop train was crushed into fragments, and nearly all of its occupants either killed or woanded. The "Second car was driven into the first and completely destroyed, and a number of persons badly hart. The third car was thrown on top of the secoud, the wheels crushing, through the top. The mo6t horrifying portion of the scene were the cries-of the wounded, some forty in number, and the sight' of the dead. They were all carried to a house close by, and sur geons sent for from Harrisburg. The whole cause of the accident is careless ness on the part of the railroad officials. 895 XI I [875 t * AG ENT 8 ‘ WAN T E D 1 : We will pay from $25 to $75 per month, and all expenses, to active Agents, er give a commission.
