PROCEEDINGS OF THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVEN4I6s.-LPttriniant to the call the Democratic County Convention as sembled in. the Hall of the 'Young Dlen's Democratic Association on Wednesday last. At 11 o'clock, the Convention was, called to order by R. R. Tehudy,, Esq., Chairman of the Democratic County Committee. On motion of Gen. Wm. Patton, Col. F. S. Pyfer was unanimously elected Presi dent. On taking the chair Col. Pyfer made a short but very appropriate speech, which was frequently applauded. He said : I tender you my thanks for the honor you have done me, in calling upon me to preside over your deliberations. I trust the proceedings of this Convention will be entirely harmonious, and calculated to fur ther the triumph of those great principles which have formed the creed of the Demo cratic party, and given to it its prestige and success in the past, and the power which it long wielded for the best interests of a happy and prosperous country. We have just passed through four years of the most terri ble war, and this day we all rejoice in the return of peace to our land ; we rejoice to see the Union restored, and the C,obstitution as framed by our fathers substantially pre served to us as they made it. The mission of the Democratic party is not yet ended.— It remains for it to exercise all its great in fluence, and to . put forth every energy it possesses, in order that the future destinies of this nation shall be so shaped that the rav ages of war may be speedily repaired, and the future of the United States rendered more glorious, if possible, than its past has been.

AFTERNOON SESSION The Convention was called to order by the President, who announced that the first business in order was the report of the committee on resolutions. Gen. Wm. Patton then reported the fol lowing resolutions, which were received with applause and unanimously adopted : Itesotved, That the Democracy of Lancas ter county hail with delight the termina tion ofthe long and sanguinary civil war in -which the country has been engaged, and will cordially sustain President Johnson in :all proper efforts he may make to restore the integrity of the Union upon a sound •Constitational basis. Besotved 4 That to the gallant soldiers of the Republic, to whom we are indebted un der the blessing of Providence for the sup pression of the rebellion, the people owe a lasting* debt of gratitude, and the memory .of their unequaled toils and sufferings will be cherished throughout alisucceeding gen -erations. Resolved, That we are opposed to negro suffrage awl to negro social equality with [the white race, We hold, in common with .the late Stephen A. Douglas, that this Gov •auturient wee made by white men for white :men and their descendants, and that any attempt.at a social Au;nalgamation of the races is a war against nature and an insult tto the memory of the *heroes And sages of cthe ItevolationeßT period. Tae following ieholtffkin was qffeod by Algenry Shaffner Env &solved, That the aeassainaticul of President Lincoln was a diabolical' outrage upon,the • American people, who had eleced him to the high office of Chief Magistrate. It was a base and murderous Crime which meets and , re- , ceives the etecratiou of, every good citizen. The question was raised as to whether this was in order after the adoption of a rule that all resolutions should be submit-, ted to the Committee on Resolutions with out debate, but upon :motion of Qren.

On motion, the Convention adjourned sine die. VISIT OF COLUMBIA COMMANDERY, No. 13, KNIOHTH TEMPLAR, TO ALTOONA:— Tuesday last being the day appointed for the annual meeting of the Grand Comman dery of the Ancient Order of Knights Tem plar, at Altoona, the Columbia Corn mandery of this city, accompanied by the York Commandery, paraded through our streets in full uniform, from their Asylum to the depot. They were preceded by the City Cornet Band, which discoursed excel lent and appropriate music. A largecrowd was attracted by the fine display made by the Sir Knights, and a multitude of friends assembled at the depot to see them fairly off. Special cars had been provided for the occa sion by the Pennsylvania Railroad, which never does such things by halves. The trip to Altoona was a most delightful one, the weather being very pleasant, and the season of year such as to make the country along the route appear to the very best advantage. At the different stopping points along the route the band played and crowds of people gathered to listen to the music, which was certainly very fine. At about half-past seven o'clock in the eve ning the train reached Altoona. After par taking of an excellent supper at the Logan House, one of the best arranged and most admirably kept hotels in the State, the Sir Knights formed in procession and marched to the hall where the Grand Commandery were in session. What occurred here is not subject for newspaper report, and interest ing as it might be cannot be laid before our readers. On the following morning the whole body of Sir K nights present,amounting in number to some four or five hundred, assembled in the grounds attached to the Logan House for drill; after which they formed in pro cession and marched through the principal streets of Altoona, headed by the City Carnet Band of Lancaster. The Band pre sented a fine appearance in their new and handsome uniform, and were much com- plimented upon the superior music with which they enlivened the march. - After the parade, and before the arrival of the train from the west, the Sir Knights formed in front of the Logan House for the -purpose of receiving Lieutenant General i; rant, who was on his way East from the great Sanitary Fair at Chicago. The notice given of his intendedlsassage, and the time he started, were too short to admit of preparation for a formal reception ; but the matter was taken in hand by the Grand Commandery, and a most imposing reception given. Previous to the arrival of the train they formed in line, dressed in full regalia, and accompanied by their baud, arranged themselves in double column at the depot in front of the Logan House. The line extended from the track to the door by which the General was to enter the hotel. The train was stopped a short distance above the depot to take on a committee ap pointed to inform the General of the ar rangements made for his reception. The crowd of people, which numbered thous ands, occupied every available foothold be low, while the root of the verandah in front of the hotel was Well filled with ladies and gentlemen. It was with difficulty that the Knights Templars could keep in line and keep the passage open. When the train halted at the station the appearance of the General upon the plat form was the signal for deafening cheers, while the band struck up " Hail to the Chief." The General was received at the head of the column .by Sir Knights Strick land, Turner, Howell of this city, Hutchin son and Robison, after which he passed be tween the lines, hat in hand, while the crowd sent up cheer after cheer, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and showerv‘boquets in his path. Col. Parker, an Indian, who is attached to Gen. Grant's staff as Military Secretary, accompanied him. He is a Mason, and displayed the gold mark of the celebrated Indian Chief, Red Jacket, which attracted much attention.— The column remained in line until the Gen eral had taken breakfast, when he passed out between them us he had entered. Unosten tatiously, as is his custom, he received the honors tendered him. On entering the car he did not turn to give an opportunity for hand-shaking, whereupon a bare-armed, cheek-shirted, hard-fisted mechanic, who, in his enthusi asm, was determined to touch him, at least, jumped upon the platform and patted him on the back as he passed in, as much as to say " Bully boy, the General." Shortly after he appeared on the rear platform of the car, where he remained shaking hands with those who presented themselves, and bowing to the ladies until the train Moved off, amid the. cheering of the crowd, the waving of hands and handkerchiefs, and the music of the band. After the departure of General Grant the Sir knights assembled in conclave at their Asylum, when the annual address was de livered by the Right Eminent Grand Com mander, H. Stanley Goodwin. The Colum bia Commandery of this city then presented him with a beautiful service of silver ware, consisting of pi tcher, goblets and salver. The presentation speech was made by Eminent Commander, Sir Knight C. M. Howell, of this city. His speech was very beautiful and exceedingly appropriate. The Right Eminent (=rand Commander received it with that grace and modesty which so much distinguish him. The following was the inscription on each piece of silver: PRESENTED TO RIGHT EMINENT GRAND COMMANDER, SIR H. STANLEY GOODWIN, BY COLUMBIA COMNANDEBY NO. 13, Lancaster, Pa. in testimony of their respect for his virtues as a man, and appreciative regard for his services as a Mason. 0. A. 747. Through the kindness of the officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Superin tendent Sir Knight Pitcairn, an excursion train was placed at the service of the Lan caster and York Commanderies, in which they niado the ascent of the mountain, en joying the grandeur of scenery and being fully impressed with the wonderful power of man's genius, which here seems to have triumphed over objects of almost insur-1 mountable character presented by nature. The day was peculiarly favorable for im pressing all who were on the train. Slowly the locomotives struggled to thaw their burthen up the steep, gradually rising, un til the region of the clouds was entered. Be low them they lay in the form of mist, whieJ fell slowly as they passed through them. IF wns a sight long to be' remem bered by all wbq witnessed it its numbers did for the fast time on this occasion. After reaching the Summit the tudp.rwith the ex cursionists stopped at the beantifal Fes}- deuce of Mr, Gilson, His grounds are lit. orally a garden of rbiei, and the ladies of the house seemed to vie,witik each other in plucking the flowers slid &WO'. to the Sir Knights. . 'rite games of the fair ones are, Misaes'la . lthliex; ber, Laura Gilaon, Annie IlltAffee, Mrs..Leman and llirs: - Gilson. To say, that the favors presented were enjoyed-and appreciated by the Bir Knights is to use a very moderate form of expression. The ladies will please consider the th,mtra of the party hereby tendered to them for their courteous treat ment. On arriving at Cresson, one of the most delightful summer resorts in the 'country; the party paraded tiOugh the beautiful grounds and proceeded to the saloon where refreshments were had that were much relished. The hotel has only been open for, a few days, but there is already quite a number of visitors who have thus early re tired from the heat of the crowded cities. The train was under the management of Mr. John McCormack, train master, and Mr. Eli Green, engineer, to whom all on board were indebted for care and kind treatment. By dusk the party returned to Altoona all being delighted with their trip. In the course of the evening the Sir Knights at tended a meeting of the Grand Coin mandery, which adjourned to meet at Lan caster on June the 14th, next year. On the following morning, Thursday, quite a number of the Sir Knights were con ducted through the Workshops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which employ over a thousand hands, by Mr. Power, one of the Superintendents. After looking at the various objects of interest, they accompanied Mr. Power to his room, where they partook of refreshments. He is entitled to their kind remembrance for his attention and hospitality. Upon the arrival of the Philadelphia Ex press from the east, the Sir Knights of Columbia Commandery formed in double column and received General Hambright, who, accompanied by Adjutant Bodie and Quartermaster Zeeher, was on his way to take charge of his command at Louisville. The Band was present, and a large crowd assembled, who received the General with rounds of hearty cheers. After breakfast ing he proceeded on his w'ay in the train, being loudly cheered as the train departed. The Sir Knights took the 12 M. train, and after a pleasant ride in special cars, kindly provided for the occasion, reached this city last evening at half-past seven o'clock. So ended one of the most pleasant trips imagi nable, which those who participated in it will long remember as such. During the excursion on several occasions a member of the Columbia Commandery, distinguished for his portly proportions and his fine appearance personally, was taken by the crowd for General Scott, and most lustily cheered. Taking the cue to the joke he doffed his chappeau and bowed most militarily, while renewed cheers invariably rent the air. COMPLIMENTARY LIMPER TO GENERAL HAMBRIGHT.—II is with the greatest pleas ure that we insert the following letter handed to us by an esteemed friend. It was written by Brevet Maj.-Gen. Walcutt, com manding the Ist Division of the 14th Army Corps, and pays a high but just compli ment to the ability displayed by General Ilambright, whilst in command of the 3d Brigade. It will be seen that the 79th has been transferred from the 14th to the 20th Army Corps : 1-Inqs. IST Div., 14Tx A. C., NEAR WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6, '65. j Col. H. A. Humbright, Conineg Third Brig., First Div.: COLONEL: In view of an order that will soon be issued discontinuing the 3d Brigade, and of the transfer of your regiment to the 20th army corps, I desire that you should at once complete the records of the brigade, in order that they may be sent to the Adju tant-General of the Army. As the Com missary of Musters of the Division, Captain Tracy, is so very busy, it will be necessary for him to return the papers of the 70th regiment P. V., in order that the muster out of those whose terms of service expire prior to October Ist may be discharged upon your arrival at the' oth corps. Colonel, I regret exceedingly, as you and your excellent regiment are to be retained in the service, that it becomes necessary that you should leave the Division. Your administration of the 3d brigade has been most excellent--everything done as I could have desired. I appreciate your services fully, and rest assured that you shall always have my best wishes for your success. I remain, Colonel, sincerely your friend, CHAS. C. WALCUTT, Brevet Major-General Commanding. PENSIONS.—Now that the war is over, it may he interesting to many to learn the fol lowing items showing to whom pensions may be granted: 1. Invalids, disabled since March 4, 1861, in the military or naval service of the United States, while in the line of duty. 2. Widows of officers, soldiers and sea men who have died of wounds received, or disease contracted in the service as above. 3. Children under sixteen years of age, of either of the aforesaid deceased parents, if there is no widow surviving or from the time of the widow's re-marriage. 4. Mothers of officers, soldiers or seamen deceased as aforementioned, and who were dependent on the son for support, in whole or in part. 5. Sisters under sixteen years of age, de pendent on said deceased brother, wholly or in part for support, provided there are none of the last three eases above men tioned. Invalids and friends of deceased soldiers are reminded that in order to have said pensions commence when the service ter minated, the application therefore must be made within a year of the discharge of the invalid, or decease of the officer, soldier, seaman, or as the case may be. THE WHEAT Minty.—The Reading Ga zette says : We regret to learn that serious injury is being done to the growing wheat crop in some parts of Berks county, by the Wheat Midge, or Weevil. In Gummi, Spring and the Heidelbergs, nearly every wheat field has been attacked by this little pest, and it is feared that a fourth of the crop will be destroyed in consequence. Out of twenty-four heads of wheat plucked indis criminately, the grains in eight were nearly entirely destroyed, and the remaining heads were more or less injured. This was along the fence, and it is hoped that the interiors of the fields have not suffered in the same proportion. In other respects the wheat fields look well and proniise an abundati harvest We hear similar complaints from other parts of the state, and in this county sonic of our farmers are apprehensive of damage to the crop front this source. The terrible little pest it was hoped was dead and done with, but it seems to be an established nui sance among us. CONSUMPTlON.—Notwithstanding the many articles advertised to cure Consump tion, we do not believe, when once fully seated in the system, it can be perfectly cured. But we do know of hundreds of cases where persons were supposed to be suffering under that fatal disease, who have become perfectly well and robust from the use of Speer's Samburg port wine. Many times people for years waste and at last die from diseases of the kidneys or glands, when they were supposed to have, and were treated for consumption. A long-continued affection of the kidneys, however, may eventually result in consumption. The Samburg port • wine used alone, or taken with a fresh raw egg, or new milk, daily, has been found to be an excellent remedy, and has the reputation in some places, of rendering a perfect cure for consumptibm— Medical Times. The wine certainly contaim valuable pro perties. Let our physiciew and invalids To be had of Druggists. Sold by H. E. Slaymaker, No. 31 East King street, Lancaster, Pa.

Ballots and Bullets The New York Tribunc says, senten tiously : "If we give the negro a bayonet, why can we not give him a ballot? If he gives his life to save the country, should we not give him a voice in its manage ment ?" It does not follow that every negro who has held a bayonet has served the country ; nor does it appear that every negro who "gave his life to save the country"—that is, who went into the army—did so through patriotism. Per haps the least said about negro patriot ism, in the face of the bounties offered, the equality promised, the persuasion used and the force employed to get up a black army, the better for both the ne gro and his admirers. As to the mili tary service performed with the bayonet by the black troops, in consideration of which the ballot is claimed for them, the country remains in very dark (if not blissful) ignorance ; in fact, to use the current phrase, "they can't see it." Taking their numbers into considera tion, there could not probably be select ed from any of the armies of the Re public an equivalent number of white troops who have performed less service. Perhaps this may have been owing to the fact that that class of troops, through special favoritism, were always kept in reserve, in holiday trim—to grace re views and dress parades, and to take quiet possession of cities and battlefields after the white veterans had defeated and routed the foe. Whatever may have been the reason, we ask if such is not the truth? If denied, will the negro suffrage advocates please contrast the services of the white and black soldiers, numbers with numbers, and show wherein the latter have been superior? —Patriot Union. The Town or Greensburg The editor of the Westmoreland Re publican, one of the ablest Democratic papers in the State, being, like many of his fellows, a little hard up for local matter, has got upon interesting sketch of the town of Greensburg, from which we make the following extract: Greensburg, like Rome, was not built in a day. The county of Westmoreland was erected out of that part of old Bed ford county lying west of the Laurel Hill, by an act of the Provincial or Co lonial Legislature, passed February 26, 1773. The boundaries of Westmoreland, when first definsii„ comprised within their ample limitA,- the present, popu lous, wealthy and well-cultivated coun ties of Washington, Fayette, Allegheny, Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Erie, War ren, Armstrong, Clarion and Indiana. The first county town of. Westmoreland was Hanna's town, so called after Robt. Hanna, Esq., the first Presiding Judge of the Courts. Hanna's town was situ , ated three miles northeast of Greens ' burg, on the old road to New Alexan dria. It consisted of some thirty two story log houses, a wooden Court House and Jail, and a small fort, with a stock ade. Hanna's town was the first place west of the Allegheny mountains, where justice was dispensed according to the forms of English and American, law. The first Court of Common Pleas was held in April, 1773, and the first Pro thonotary and Clerk of the Courts was Arthur St. Clair, afterwards a Major General in the war of the Revolution. Hanna's town was attacked, taken and burnt by a party of predatory and hos tile Indians in July 1782. After the destruction of Hanna's town, the seat of justice was removed to . Greensburg. About the year 1784 Greensburg was laid out as a town, and made the place for holding the civil and criminal Courts. In February, 1799,1 t was incorporated as a borough. The town is situated on the Pennsylvania Central Itailroad,and on the old Bedford And Pittsburg turn - pace, about sayenty miles qf Bed ford and thirty mileseast of Pittsburg. 25c. 5L25®1.30 6@loc. 20(4125c. &ZOO 15@20c.

There ' are 5,000 soldiers in hospital a Hampton, Virginia, To One Renihil,tii; MY DEAR SIR: If I bad ever heard your name in any decent connection, I should have remembered the in Weis and addressed you niore formally. I only recollect your name as that of a certain Henderson who was detected a year or so ago, in some petty but uncommonly brazen piece of thieving I believe about the New York Custom House. I always thought of you, when I saw your tonne in the police column *of the Dailies, as some small associate or perhaps tool, of Palmer, the man of proclamations, or Stanton, the man of fees, or Cummings, the man of herrings and Scotch Ale, or even of Simon Cameron, the man of moc casins and plunderin general. I may even now be taking too generous a view of your case in thus addressing you as one at large. It is not long since the public understood you were in the custody of Col. Baker or some gentleman in the like business of fer reting out and restraining the bodies of un fortunate persons whose ideas about the rights of property had become confused.— But then the: World tells us that "Hender son is out on bail," and it is more than probable that this will find you at your lit tle table in the garret of the Evening Post office. This note is called for by a leader in the Post, of May 9llt, entitled " _t Bit of Hi-story Berived,” and which, partially sanctioned by Mr. Bryant's more respectable name, has been extensively copied by the shoddy Press of the country, and again its false hood as extensively exposed by the Demo cratic Press. Yet the copying of the stupid and transparant coinage of your briin still continues by the poor country *editors equally capable but not sufficiently indus trious to manufacture a new story every bit as good. I accuse " Henderson "of that precious leader, because I know Mr. Bry ant would exculpate himself and say " it was Henderson," the moment the slander was so stiffly proved that he must retract it. 1 suppose you occupy that unhappy re lation to him which the mythical foreman does to the country Editor. Whenever any particularly outrageous calumny appears in the paper, and the Post is threatened with suit and damages, the story goes, "done without my knowledge or consent," " Henderson is the man," and so every body says " Henderson's a poor devil—in trouble enough already," and the breeze which threatened the Post blows over.— You are a convenient person, Mr. Hender son, but whether you are selected for this base scribbling, because of your peculiar aptitude for the business, or dri , i , en to it in view of the fact that your ready cash is swallowed up in defending yourself upon the indictments lodged against you on infor mation of Government detectives, I do not pretend to say. You say you were at the Cincinnati Con vention, and that you reported proceedings not found in the official record or in any of the Democratic papers. You need not have told us that. Nobody would have expected you to report what other people reported or to have heard what other people heard.— You have a perfect genius for seeing and hearing what no other person can, try he never so hard. In this leader, you draw quite a graphic picture of a Convention in breathless ex pectation of something, (of course though this foolish Convention was expecting some thing, Henderson alone knew what.) This you dub the Democratic Convention of 1836. You then proceed to call upon the floor "Judge Black, of Pennsylvania," (afterwards Attorney General under Bu chanan) and put into his mouth one of your most startling speeches. He gave on Mr. Buchanan's behalf a terrible pledge to the nullifiers. If ever they wanted to secede Mr. Buchanan would not only not prevent them, but he would go with them, and carry Pennsylvania and pretty near every thing else along with him. In short he would never cease from "following after them." Now, Mr. Henderson, if you were the harmless man of the pen, which no doubt you pretend to he when arraigned on an indictment, you would have made that fanciful convention. of yours sit at some other place and at sonic other time, and you would have invented sonic new names, or culled them from sonic odd book in Mr. Bryant's library. In that case the great Democratic party of the Union would not have been belied, and Buchanan and Black would not have been so grossly t",,kandered. But to settle your " Bit of History" for ever, Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, after wards Attorney General under Buchanan, was never in Cincinnati in his life, he was not in that Convention, nor was he ever in any but one Convention, and that was a Jackson State Convention, lie did not even make a political speech during the campaign of 1856. Montgomery Blair once used this wretched invention of yours in a public address in New York. Judge Black hearing of its circulation, by the mouth of a gentleman, addressed hint a note setting him right, and Mr. Blair promptly pub lished the correspondence with a handsome acknowledgement of his error. You will find it among some of the campaign rub bish of last fall, though I suppose you did see it long before you reiterated the slander. James Madison Wells William W. Holden MM=lll :William L. Sharkey. Andrew .1. Hamilton There was in that Convention a Col, Sam, W. Black, of Pittsburgh, who has since fallen, like a brave and gallant soldier, at the head of his regiment, fighting for the Union, while you and other loyal gentle men were plundering the Custom House and laying plans to throw. Col. Baker off your scent. Mr. Dawson delivered the authorized speech of the Pennsylvania dele gation, and if Mr. Buchanan had had any pledges to make he would have made them through him. Col. Sam. Black did make a kind of volunteer address, but you have given not a single word of it, with the ex ception of the passage from Ruth, and it only expressed that spirit of brotherhood which created and maintained the Union. It was uttered for the Union and in the name of the Union. He who spoke it rests in an unknown spot in a Virginia swamp, surrounded by the graves of his own Union soldiers, while you are torturing his lan guage to malign his living friends, I think Judge Black has clearly proved an alibi. My sincere wish is that in your forthcoming trial you may be as fortunate. PITTSBURG, May 30. JUNIUS. A Person About the Evening Post. For the Intelligencer One Effect of Emancipation The emancipation of slavery will give the Southern States an increased represen tation of fourteen members of Congress, and this, too, whether the right of suffrage is extended to the negroes or not. Hereto fore, the Southern people only had a three fifth representation for their slaves—now the entire population, black as well as white, will be counted in per capita, the same as is done in Pennsylvania and other Northern States. To make this still more plain: It is estimated that there are, or were, 3,600,000 slaves in the fifteen South ern States. Two-fifths of that number (1,440,000) were not counted in the enumer ation for Congressional purposes. The ratio of representation is, in round num bers, 100,000. Make this the divisor and the other number the dividend, and you have an additional representation in Con gress, for the black population, of fourteen and a fraction over. , This is so transparent that the most obtuse intellect can see through and understand it. What, then, has been gained by the North in its crusade against Southern slavery? Instead of weakening the South in num bers and influence in the Congress of the United States, the emancipation policy will have largely augmented both. And not only so, but it will give the Southern States 'an addition of fourteen Presidential elec tors! We ask our Republican Mends to think over this matter. It is a question of deep import to them and to us, and dis poses, in a very summary way, of the prin cipal argument they have been Using for years against the Southern people on ac count of their three-filth slave 'representa tion.
