FBE>HET. Grent Destruction ofProporty. Railroad Travel impeded. The Like Kever Before Known. The Freshet Eqnnl to that ol 1830. Philadelphia, Oct. 4.—At Chestnut street bridge the water at 11 o clock had reached to the poiut where the river arch rests upon the plere. A canal boat was jammed up against one of the piers and apparently fixed there permanently, al though the tawny current swept past with such fierce impetuosity that it may carry the boat away with it. Quite a large num ber of boats have already gone‘down be neath the bridge, to be landed on the shores below. Between Chestnut and Market streets the river is filled with logs, lumber, barrels, floating|shanties, upturned boats, and avast mass of debris which sweeps by at a tremendous speed. All the lumber yards, wharves, factories and bouses upon the immediate shore, on both sides of the river, are submerged, and a vast amount of properly is irretrievably ruined. ” The flats on the west sida of tho river, above Market street, belonging to the Penn sylvania Railroad, are entirely submerged and every moveable article that was upon them.last night has 5 been swept away.— Among those were a dozen or more empty freight cars. This morning, at an early hour the flood poured upon these; they wjire carried out into the current, and hurled against the bridges, then twisted beneath them and sent whirling down the stream. In these cars a number ot house less vagabonds had ensconced themselves last evening,'and bad spent the night.— They awakened to find themselves in the middle of the river. They ail succeeded in Climbing out upon the roofs of the cars, and from this perilous position they were res cued by some brave fellows in boats. ■fimjidiog on the Market street bridge and glancing up the river the scene wub one of desolation, There was a wide waste ol water covering all the lowland, crowding up high against the buildings on the east side, and absolutely black with floating ar ticles. This bridge, Chestnut street, and the Wiro bridge, weroall crowded with peo ple looking at ihe rum. Twenty third sired throughout its length from Market street to Callowbill, was sub merged, the water varying in depth from two to live leet. Of course all the properly between this street aud tho river was flood ed. Tnero aro factories, lime kilns, lumber yards, coal yards,'millsund dwelliughouses here, and the damage must be immense. In South Twenty third street, behind the gas works, there is a depth of about lour feet.— Arch street is overflowed clear up to Twenty second street. Tho cellars are all filled, und tho people havo either been driven to the upper stories of their bome«, or have been compelled to desert them al together. The dumuge done hero falls al most entirely upon the poorer classes, who can ill-allord to bear the losses which will ensue. In Ltueo street the water reuclus quite as high us ill Arch street, and as the dwelling houses come closer down to the river’s edge, there is much more dumuge. Most of the buildings aro buried half way up to the windows of the first floor, and the people aro busy moving out upon rafts and in boats. On Vino street the scene presents even a more terrible appearance. The water has reached nearly to Twenty second street, and between Tweuty third and Twenty fourth streets every house is submerged to the top of tho first floor windows. The in habitants wore taken out in boats. When 1 lie water was ut ita height ut Munayunk a canal boat, loaded with'coul, broke loose Iroin llio wharf at tho Pulp Works and cumtnoned to float swiftly down tho stream. A boy waa seen on deck, run* uing frunlieally from ono end of her to the other. Ah the bout approached the upper or pay bridge, which crosses to Montgome ry county, it was aeeu by lliuso on and near the bridge that the water was u ‘dgh lor tho boat to pass under, and a si* ent up calling upon tint boy in jump ii river; but lie either did not in ur or « much frightened to comply. in ii few moments tho boat -k tin* bridge with such force that nut n whm liftticT up and it fell over upi boat, burying it bonealh tho angry f rho boy wont down with It, his hands being uplifted, as if in agouy. This was tho lust seeuofhim. Tho captain of tho bout left after the NooJ commenced, leaving only the hoy on board. Tho deceased was tho son of a widow, who resides above Heading. Tbe nil refineries have all lost heavily, vast numbers of barrels haviug beou swept away. Tho surface of the river is covered with the oil scum. All (he lumber men have suifered terribly, souir of tbum losing the larger part of their stock. At theFuirrnounl water works tho scene wus exceedingly wild. The dam is entire ly out ofeview, and the water rushes on as if there was mi such thing as a dam there. At half-past eleven o'clock the water pass ing over the dam wus about eleven feet in depth. Men who have W"i l;. d about I'air mount all of their liv< s >.ty no such freshet has ever been known iu the Schuylkill, the nearest apiuoa h to it being the great hood Of 1850. . The water is so high lliut none ol the wheels in the water works can operate. No' damage to the turbine wheels is antici pated. The Spring Garden Water Works have also been ovm flowed, and the engines are unable to work. The water overflowed the wharves at the gas works at Market street bridge, und all the buildings connected with the works, and located west of Twenty-third street, were about half submerged. Tho fires iu the furnace were, of course, extinguished, and operations hud to ceaso. Largo quan tities of coal and coke were wushed away. The loss ul the gas works will be heavy. The slubUa of the Schuylkill Navigation Company are completely submerged. All of the horses aud gears were got out with . safety. The west bank of tho river from Bridge street to the canal locks at Fairmount, pre sents a curious spectacle. A great quantity of debris which came down the river was wushed ashore, and strung along on higher ground is a miscellaneous collection, com prising goods and household furniture which were removed hastily from establish ments, horses, mules, wagons, etc. AT NOUUISTOWN tho river has riseu seventeen feet and is still rising. Cars, houses, lumber, furni ture, etc., are coming down tho river, which is a boiling torrent of yellow water. The Reading trains are all stopped, as thero are several breaks iu the road, but tho exact locality of these cannot bo ascertained. The ruin lasted forty eight hours. Reading, Oct. 4.— Tho freshet that visit ed the Schuylkill Valley to-day was ihe most disastrous since tliut of 1850, doing but little less damage to property. Tho lpwer part of tho city was completely submerged. Some seven dwelling houses were carried away. Ono spau of the Lan caster bridge wm swept off by flouting canal boats anil lodged on Fritz Island, about u mile below the city. One span of the Poplar Neck bridge, three miles below town, was also destroyed by the same means. So far as known these aro all the bridges between Norristown ami I'ottsville that have suffered seriously. A number of bouts lying ut tbe dry docks of tho Schuyl kill Navigation Company were swept away. The damug** along the river front ofthe city it will be impossible to ascertain fully be fore tho water subsides to its ordinary level but it is very great. The lumber yards auffored, und also several of the iron works. At the gas works the tires wi re put out, and the mams lead ing into the city were filled with water, owing to the breaking off of the lamp post? by passing timbers. For the first lime since the freshet ol 1850 the city was to-night without gas, aud the streets presented a gloomy appearance, tho stores nearly all olosiug by uurk. It is believed that the gas supply will be resumed to-morrow evening. Matiy families have lost henvily in furni ture. Some are cutirely homeless. Tho mayor has called u town meeting ou Wed nesday night lor relief. Tbe scene along tho river front this morning was pitiful. Tbe telegraph lines of tho Schuylkill Navi gation Company were swept away. The morning train from, Harrisburg was -delayed übout uu hour und a half. It is eaid that railroad travel will be opened to morrow again in all directions. The water fell to-day most as rapidly as it had risen, arid by this hour, midnight, had got down some ten feet. No further damuges ure ap prehended. Dover Plains, N. Y., Oct. I.—North of Millerton the Ilailem Railroad track is washed away. The bridge at Ghent has gone. Port Jervis, Oct 4.—The Delaware river is twenty feet higher than on Friday last. A portion of the Erie Railroad track was washed away between Port Jervis and De posit. The wires are interrupted at this break, and no report of the flood beyond Deposit has been received. Albany, Oct. 4.—One of the heaviest rain storms ever known here occurred yester day and to-day. The New York Central road is damuged, and trains are behind time. Poughkeepsie, Oct. 4.—The storm was very heavy along the Hudson. Culverts were washed away on the Hudson River Railroad north of Rbinebeck, and the water is nearly a foot deep over the track. The Chicago express coming south, lies at Oak Hill station, the culvert being washed away. Port Chester, N. Y., Oct. 4. —The se vere rain storm caused the large dam at Russell, Burdsall l2 Marshall street, shot iu tho right side of tbe head. Slight wound. Frank White, Keystone, Fifteenth and Sausom streets, shot with a bull in left breast. Seyere aud dangerous. Georgo S. James, Keystone, BG7 North Ninth street, cut in tho neck with a knife. Severe. Wm. do Groat, spectator, 1 IDS Division street, shot in the foot. {Slight. Reserve Officer, William Carson, shot in the leg. Slight. Morris J. Nagle, shot in tho neck. Se vere. Cuopor, spectator, shot in the‘cheek.— Slight. Btowd, shot in the breast. .Slight. But few arrests were uiude.ns the offenders hud lied before the police m any numbers could be called to the place. Terrible Accident at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Oct. I.—At tho fair grounds Ibis nl'u-rnoon a boiler explosion occurred ut four o’clock, when tho grounds were crowded with visitors The boiler was attached to the saw mill of Messrs. Sniker it Co., of this city, aud had just been tired up fora test of speed with another ma chine, and arrangements were made to take it up us soon as the trial was over. As far as ascertained to-night, nineteen persons were killed. The excitement and confusion are so great that it is difficult to obtain a correct list oi tho wounded, but it is thought the number will leach nearly one hundred. Many of the bodies are horribly mutilat ed und burned, and in some cases it will be almost impossible for friends to recognize them. A little babe was killed in its father’s arms,'but the father escaped wiihoutinjury. Governor Baker was on tho ground at the time of the explosion. A portion of the boiler passed over his head aud struck his coachman, a few* feet in his rear, injuring him severely. Tho scene ut the fair ground, after the ac cident, was most heartrending. Many of the killed were torn in fragments. In one fumily, consisting of a mother and three children, the mother was killed and the two older children wore badly scalded, but the youngest one was unhurt, A geutleman and lady were walking together, the gen tleman being killed, and the lady escaping unhurt. Everything is being done to alle viute the sufferings of tho wounded that can bo done, though it is feared that several will die. The receipts of the fair to-morrow will be given for the benefit of the wouDded. EUate Items, Work on the Dauphin County3Soldiers’ Monument has'ceased. The corner stone of the monument to the late Chief Engineer Lyle will be laid at Old Oaks, Philadelphia, on October 4th. The contributions to the Avondale Relief Fund, have already reached nearly $140,000. Louis Holsner, convicted in the Cambria County Court recently, of murder in the second degree, has been sentenced to the Peuitentiary for ten years. A man wearing the equipments of the Fuirmount Engine Company was arrested at a fire recently in‘ Philadelphia, in the act of pocketing sundry small articles.— He was promptly expelled from the com pany. A Welshman named Robert Thomas, residing for several years past in Green township, Indiana county, was thrown off a loaded lumber wagon on the 20th inst., and one of the wheels passed over his neck killing him instantly. A young man named Edwin Stewart was killed in a spoke factory in Mercer, last week, by having his head nearly sawed off by a buzz saw. After receiving the terribly injury he walked a few steps, Bat down and died in a few minutes. O. Johnson, Conservative, was elected to the Virginia Legislature from Alexandria county, yesterday. The county went Radi cal at the July election. Tbe Rata Storm* Daring the greater portion of Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night, this city and adjacent country was visited by arain storm of more than ordinary severity. Sunday, almost the whole day long, the rain fell In torrents and the streets and pavements were in many localities covered with water, which interfered with the pro; gress of pedestrians and made “ont-doora more than usually, unpleasant We have heard of considerable damage being done bv the high water incident to the storm. A dam on the Little Conestoga, at Le van’s Mill, was washed away by tbe flood daring the night; and the debris lodging on the dam at Kaufman’s Mill, caused so great a pressure of water, tbat it also gave wav and was destroyed. Two large iron boilers, 2* tons each, lying near Binckley’s Mill, were moved by the force of tbe water a considerable distance. Tbe dam on this creek at Daniel Hamaker’s Mill, 4 miles from this city, was swept away.' Tbe heaviest fall of rain occurred between 12 and 2 o’clock A. M. at which time the flood from College Hill rushed down Mary street to Orange, and down Orange to Char lotte, into which it turned, extending en tirely across the street. injuring the paved gutters filling the cellars along its route with water, and in some instances entering the first floor of the dwellings. Its course was then down the alley between West King and Orange, sweeping everythiogjbe fore it and doing considerable damage to the adjacent properties. The city sewer which runs through private property in the vicinity, caved in in the lot of Mr, Henry Krauskop at the corner oi West King and Mulberry, doing considerable damages. The necessity of a sewer of sufficient ca pacity to drain this section of tbe city is demanded by tbe property holders, as they are subjected to great loss and inconve ence, every time there is a heavy rain. A number of cellars were filled with wa ter in othersectionoof thecity, among oth ers that of the Lutheran Sunday School building on South Duke street. The Philadelphia Express, One in this city at 2:34 A. M., did not urrive until 8 Monday morning,lbaving been detained by land slide about 28 miles this side of Phil adelphia. The trestle work of tho bridge over Strick* ler’s Run, this side of Columbia, gave way Sunday, pi eventing the passage of trains. The damage done by the flood along the Big Conestoga has been very great, and tbe loss occasioned by the unprecedented high water, will in the aggregate prove immense. Tne bridge at the County House has boon swept away, as well as the ono at Reigart's Lauding. These bridges wore substantial structures, but were unable to withstand the immense volume of water that tilled the creek and overflowed far and wide its banks. The timber of these bridges was carried down the stream and against the bridge at the terminus of South Queen street, (Yoaart’s Hotel), where the floating debris imperilled the safety of tnat structure. Men hav6 been engaged all fore noon in trying to keep the channel clear at this bridge und in removing as far as prac ticable tho logs, etc., which tho current sweeps down ugaicst it. The water is now (1 o’clock, P. M.,) higher than ever known, beiDg an inch or or two above the mark of the great flood of 1822 The water entirely surrounds You arts Hotel, and is ruuniDg over all the floors of the first story, and still rising. Mr. Youart estimates his loss so far in lumber, posts aud rails, and other property at $lOOO. About 200 bales of cork wood, from Boardman's cork factory, were carried away, a portion of which was caught as it lodged ugainst the bridge. Hundreds of our citizens aro on the banks of the stream watching the rushing flood und driftwood us it dashes ugainst tbe side ofthe bridge, or is caught in the whirlpool and swept under. It is thought tho water will reach its greatest height before 3 o’clock. Two handsome small mules, the property of Mr. Musser, farmer, residing some three miles from this city, on the Conestoga, above Witmer’s Bridge, were swept otT by the flood aud drowned ; tbe mules were put iu a field situated near the creek. They were very valuable, and it is said to have been Mr. Musser’s intention to have exhibited them at the approaching County Fuir. In many places whole fields of corn shocks have been carried away and the loss to tho farmers, in this way, will be very great. We are also informed that the following bridges on the creek, in addition to those already mentioned, havo been swept away : Hunsecker’s, Pinetown, Wenger’s, Hiukle town, Bitzer’s, and Sensenig’s. The Rain Storm —Additional Particu lars. —The following additional facts re specting the recent great freshet in the Cou estoga have been furnished us by our cor respondent at Coeesloga Centre, they will be read with interest: “The recent heavy rain which continued the whole of Sunday and Suuday night swelled all tbe streams in this seotion to a height not attained for many years. Tbe Conestoga rose some duriDg Bunduy, but fell a little in the evening, but soou com menced rising again, and at 3 o’clock A. M. to day (Monday) it had already over flowed its bunks, and was still rising very rupldly. A. lurge muouat of saw-logs, boards, wood, posts and rails, several hun dred shocks of corn, scattered corn, stacks of grain and hay, pumpkins innumerable, dead hogs in a stable, dead chickens aud turkeys, etc , went down during the day. At Safe Harbor there was a busy time the whole of yesterday. Those whose skills were not taken away during Sunday night, (which were but few) were busy in the mid die of the stream catching saw-logs and bringing them to shore, and the shore was lined with men, women and children, busy catching saw logs, drift wood and such other articles as floated out into shallow water. Tho scene presented was awful and imposing; the Conestoga had spread on both sides out far beyond its usual limits. At the lower end of the village a number of houses and other buildings were sur rounded by the water, and communication between them was carried on in skiffs.— At the upper end, on the Manor side, there were also several houses surrounded by the water, and a bottom, which extends a considerable distance back, belonging to Mr. John Miller, was entirely under water. It had been planted in corn, and near the creek the corn was entirely covered or taken away, while farther back the tops of the “shocks” were just visible. At the “ big” or upper dam, the spectacle wus grand and sublime, as parts of rafts, large logs, and other articles were hurled over the high breast into the boiling vortex be low. About 12 o’clock, M., a largo stack nf grain, (wheat we judged it to be,) came floating majestically down in the middle ofthe current, with its head towering high above the surface of tho water, as if defy ing its power, but alas ! it ulso hud to suc cumb to the power of the ragiDg element. As it approached tbe dam it went faster aud faster, uutil it reached the brink, and then plunged into tho seething whirlpool below, hung a moment on tbe rocks, und then separated into as many parts as it con sisted of sheaves, each sheaf taking its own course, and in a few moments they had all disappeared from sight down the stream. A Jew minutes after, a break in tbe dam occurred, and within ten minutes nearly the entire dam wus gone ; this set freesuch an immense body of water, that the pier ol ihe bridge, in the middle of tbe creek, was soon washed away, and tbe bridge came down with a crash, breaking through in the middle into two, about equal pieces, one oi which floated down on tne Manor, aud the other on the Conestoga side, into ami down the Susquehanna. Mr. Daniel Graham had just crossed the bridge, and as ho stepped ou the abutment on the other side the bridge went down. He had a narrow escape from a frightful death. The piece on the Conesto ga side, struck the stable and carriage house of Mr. David Davis, and compelled it to ac company the bridge on its journey towards Chesapeake Bay. The stable contained two carriages one just new, several sets of bar uesß, and a lot of hay. About half of tbe lower idam was also lakeu away, also all the timber and some of the lumber of E. Brenner it Co., a canal boat belong ing to Charles J. Rhodes, a building for merly occupied by Jos. C. Tripple as a shoemaker shop, but at present —we be believe—unoccupied, and nearly alt the skiffs owned here. This is, so far we know, all the damage sustained at Safe Harbor, up to 4 o’clock P. M., (yesterday) at which time the water was supposed to have reach ed its highest point, as it then had been nearly stationary for some time. At Rock ville, Conestoga township, about 3 miles above Safe Harbor, we are informed, a part of the dam in the Conestogs, aod nearly all the timber and lumber of J. Breniser, were carried away. The Pequea was also very high, but we have heard of no serious dam age having been done along its banks.” All aloDg the Conestoga great damage was done. The Printer’s Paper Mill was surrounded by water, which covered its lower floors to quite a depth, and washed out of the building a large amount of pulp, besides materially damaging the ma chinery. The grist mill, house and barn of Henry Zo >k were partially inundated; two of Mr. Z's. cows were drowned, and his horses had to be removed from tne stable forßafety. On account of the injury done along the turnpike from, this city to Safo Harbor the mail was brought to this place to-day on horseback. Among other instances of the storm, or rather of its effects, it seems that the water bad washed its way along the water-main in High street,.and had undermined the ground to quite an extent along it. The consequence of which was that as John Tomlinson was driving along it with a horse and wagon, the ground caved in and buried the horse up to his neck—consider able difficulty was experienced in extrica ting the animal. A Golden Subscription.— We received, this morning, a golden subscription from one of our subscribers in California—it be ing a “ quarter eagle” neatly enclosed in a letter. It did our eyes good to see the yel low coin for they have ;not been plentiful since the Republican party has had control of the government. Our subscriber who is a resident of Tahama connty, says at the recent election the Democrats elected every c«fficial in that county as also in the county of Nevada which was formerly strongly Republican. “ Tho fifteenth Amendment did the business for the Radicals.” ‘‘John Chinaman says: ‘ Demmykrat dam liitle no mueby good.’ ” A “Packer” Pike.—Mr. Wm. Diffen derfer, of the 7th Ward, this city, last Sat urday night, caught on an out-line, at the city dam, on the Conestoga, a mammoth pike measuring 24} inches m length and weighing 3i pounds. These fish are rather scarce In the Conestoga, and but few of the dimensions of the above fish are caught, Mr. D, has chrißtened the fish “ a Packer pike I” Democratic iSasjjf Meeting «- Fulton Hall was.crowded to Its fullest capacity on Saturday evening by the sturdy Democracy of tbe city, who bad been called together by tbe City Executive Committee for.the first time during the campalgp.— Compared with the Radical meetings nejd in the city, it was as a live body to. a gal vanized corps©—as Asa Backer to one of Geary’s pardoned convicts—as an army with banners to an awkward squad. Tbe meeting was called to order by Geo. W, Kendrick, Chairman of the City Ex ecutive Committee, on whose motion tbe following officers were unanimously se lected : President—Hou. Geo. SandersoD. Vise Presidents—R. R, Tabudy, Litis; Daniel Btowd, Manheim twp.; Wm. Car penter, Lancaster twp.; Hugh- Dougherty, Henry L. Barnett, A. F. Hambright, MaJ. M. J. Weaver, Capt. W. C. Hambright, James Peoples, James H. Barnes, Davis Kitcb, sr., Geo. Yeisiey, Thos, W. Arnold, John Rose, John Wilhelm, John Francis cos, Lieut. Alex. J. Gerz, Reinhart Rlneer, Joseph Guise, Jacob Hartman, Msj. John Nixaorf# Secretaries—Geo. Nauman, Esq., Dr. S. H. Metzger, John T. MacGofiigle, John D. MacMaboo, J. M. Johnston. Tbe President appointed (he following Committee to conduct the speakers from Michael’s Hotel and tbe Cadwell House to the Hall: Geo. W. Kendrick, E- Schaeffer Metz ger, Geo. Gandaker, jr., George Musser, Al. N. Eckert. . Daring the absence •of the Committee Mayor Sanderson entertained the meeting by some telling remarks against tbe Fif teenth Amendment, maintaining that the question of suffrage was one that belong ed exclusively to the States, CoDgress never having been authorized by 'be Constitution to interfere with it. Tbe Mayor’s remarks were loudly applauded, but ho brought them to a close as soon as the Committee entered the Hall with the speakers for the evening, Hon. Wm. D. Moore, of Pittsburg, and Col. J. H. Filler, editor of the Harris burg Patriot and Union. Mr. Moore was then introduced, and received with loud applause. He said that he rejoiced in havinganother opportunity of meeting the citizens of Lan caster, and participating with them in the exercise of the most precious privilege pos sessed by man ; the God given right of dis cussing the merits or demerits of those we have placed in office; and to judge for our selves if they, our creatures, not our lords, and masters, are worthy of a continuance of the trusts we have reposed in them. This is a right that has never been denied or refused except by despots and tyrants. In the exercise of this sovereign power, we have come together to consider the steward ship of those who have been appointed to look after our honor and our interests. After noticing, in a complimentary man ner, the excellent personal character and scholarly attainments of the Radical candi date for Supreme Judge, whom be declared to bo fit to compete with tbe Democratic eaudidate, Mr. Moore said he was sorry that he could find nothing else to commend, either in tho Republican party or tbeir candidates. As for Geary, it was known by all who had ever associated with him, that he was an ignorant, unscrupulous charlatan,--a man of mean intellectual attainments, and unreliable character. — His personal vanity is inordinate, and he never tires of thrusting before the pub lic his "manly and imposing form,” which he imagines eclipses that of Jupiter Tonans; and treating them to speeches overflowing with puerile twaddle and coarse vulgarity, harangues which his own partisans blush ingly s’igmatize as "miracles of bosh and empty nothingness.” Only on Friday he made a speech to his Republican friends in New Holland,so filled with self-admiration, shallow vanity, personal abuse, and crude notions of public polioy, as to convince all who heard him that he was eithera fool, or mistook his hearers for fools. lie seems to forget iu his stupid efforts at oratory, that we are a reading and a thinking people— that we have schools, und books, und news papers—professors and clergymen, and lawyers, and statesmen to instruct us, and that wo cannot bo gulled or dupod by the miserable balderdash aud ridiculous doc trines of John W. Geary and his man Fri day, Covode. Covode, however, ignorant as he is, has considerable cunning, ofa low kind. Uo kuowa very well that he cannot make speeches and tbat Geary in that re spect is still worse. So he tells Geary that the only hope of carrying Pennsylvania is to travel through tbe State—to show him self to tbe people—to display his manly figure—to-look wise as Nestor and fierce as Ajax, but for God’s sake not to open his mouth! Covode was right enough, but Geary’s shallow vanity cannot be repress ed. \lmnust talk of his sixty-fourapochry pbal battles—of tbe dread in which he was held by Stonewall Jackson, and of his her culean efforts in economically administer ing the State Government, and paying the State debt! And be must tell the little school girls, as he has told them that the poorest among them all, may yet occupy ih*> exalted position of Mrs. Major General John W. Geary, Governor ol Peunsylva uia! These are a fow of bis empty-pated self laudutious ; and yet there is not an officer, nor a man who was in the army with him, who will not say that bis battles are shams —the hired records of paid correspondents ! His deeds of valor are like those of Falstaff, who fainted with fright before the living Percy, und hacked his dead body after he had been slain by-Rrince Henry; and like Falstaff, he has routed his "seven men in buckram,” and claims his reward I He went to Mexico, shirked his duty as a sol dier, and pushed himself into a civil office after the battles had been fought by our brave army. On his return to Pittsburg, lie did not dare to face the men of his own regiment! While Governor of Kansas, he was insulted in his own office—was spat upon—and had not manhood enough to re sent it- And yet ho would have you be lieve be is a hero! and that the Radical army of office-holders and office-hunters deserve the grateful thanks of a nation saved from disruption ! Mr. Moore took up Covode’s addr ss to the Republicans of Pennsylvania, discussed its propositions and dissected its merits. Speaking of Covode’s insolent assertion that all tne victories of the war were clue to tbe Republican party, he asked : After the disastrous battle of Bull Run, when tbe enemy were marching almost unopposed towards Washington, who was it that took our army, defeated ami demoralized as it was, and moulded it into au unconquerable host? George B. McClellan, a Democrat. (Enthusiastic applause.) And who led that army triumphantly up the peninsula and almost to the very gates of Richmond ? Who fought the seven days’ battle, commencing with Fair Oaks and ending with Malvern Hill, but tiie same Democratic General who, but for the villainous treachery of Halleck and Stanton, would have at once crushed out the rebellion by tho capture of Richmond? Aud after the disastrous mis management and defeat of Pope, os the rebel army were marching through Mary land to invade Pennsylvania, who,then was culVgd upon to rally and reorganize our dispirited troops but this same Democratic General, who, though disgraced by his gov • eminent, brought order out of chaos and hope out of despair by his signal victories at Antietam ami South Mountain, And alter the miserable failures and terrible defeats of Burnside and Hooker, who was it that led and directed our army agajost the enemy at Gettysburg and drove Lee from the State? Geo. G. Meade, another Democrat! And during the same battle, your own Democratic Reynolds fell fight ing on the front line, and the military genius of Democratic Hancock, was re quired to repair the imbecile blunders of Radical Sickles! And in tbe West, who was it but Democratic Buell, Rosecrans and Rousseau, that drove the rebel armies trom the Ohio tc the Tennessee— lighting and winning the bloody battlesofCbaplin Hills, Stone River and Cbickamauga ! And who completed the work and ended the war by bis ever memorable hundred days fight, from Chattanooga to Atlanta—his unparal leled march from Atlanta to the sea—and his crowning capture of Johnston’s rebel army in Carolina, but Win. T. Sbermar, another Democrat ? And yet John Covode says "wo loyal patriots did all this.” Dr. Johuson defines patriotism as “the last refuge of a scoun drel.” When a man becomes utterly dis honest, corrupt, degraded, and vile, he nat urally takes to patriotism as a trade—and snch is the patriotism of Geary and Covode. Governor Geary, continued Mr. Moore, is from my county. I have known him long, and known him well. I have known him as a rank, pro-slavery “ locofoco” of the Forney and Cameron stripe—men who, years ago, fanned the fire of se cession, and then shrunk from the conse quences of their own teachings—but who still have the ertmson blood of ourjranr- dered soldiers clinging to their skirts. I have known Geary as an office beggar from Democratic Presidents, and a reviler and slanderer of those who had bestowed office upon him. He is openly denounced by his own party as a pledge-breaker and a par don-broker. It was but the other day that a ruffian, whom he had pardoned from the Penitentiary, met me in the street in Pitts burg, with the threat “Moore, I will give you ad d good beating one of these days.” He is openly charged by his own party with buying and selling justice for money. He is the acknowledged candidate of the Treas ury King, who manipulate the State funds for their own profit and the benefit of their pet banks. During his administration, the expenditures of the State have doubled, and millions of dollars that should have been appropriated to the payment of the State debt, have been squandered. Pennsylvania, in all her history had never before such oc casion to blush for the vanity, incompe tency, and venality of her Chief Magistrate. The speaker gave glowing accounts of the Democratic prospects of success in the counties west of the mountains, and felt sure that the eastern counties would not be behind them in aiding to rid the State of the vampires who .have been feeding on its very vitals. Mr. Moore closed his address by an elo quent tribute to the character of the Dem ciatic nominees, Asa Packer and Cyrus L. Pershing, whose eminent qualifications for the positions they had been called upon to fill without solicitation on their own part, were well known to every man in the State who knew the men. Oar candidates had been tested in the Pennsylvania Legisla ture and In Congress, and had come out like pure gold. Mr. Pershing would adorn the Bench he was soon to occupy, while Asa Packer, as compared with Geary was “ Hyperion to a satyr I” The speaker was loudly applauded throughout and took his Beat amid enthusiastic cheers. Col. John H. Filler, of Bedford, was then introduced aB a brave soldier who had fought throughout the war as an officer in the Union army, and had supported the administration of Lincoln—but had become ‘aiKraited fwilkl& imbeaaily-.ar Grant and Geary, the corruption of.the Radical lead* era and toeflqstraptiyeand.unooiistUption al’ & ,{Bpt party. . .. - . Col. FUl6r said fbat*as jl preUnrfnafy quesfion of grave Importance he wouldleak hialiearersif they were registered? Thin wasftßtrange question io ask tree American people who have been in the habit of boast iogtbat each and all of them are sovereigns. But it is a very important question now under Radical rule.*Haye you.gone to your assessor and asked him to please put your name on the registry? Have yon told him where you were bore—how old yon are—where you live what your occupa tion is j and who’s your master ? Have you shown naturalization papers and subjected yourselves to an inquisitive scrutiny of an insolent official ? Have you pointed to the collar on your neck, and said " I’m Tom Tinker’a.dog, whose dog are you ? ” II you have nnt complied .with these-gentle re quirements, then you freemen cannot cast your ballots at the coming election! The * {Radical Party, the especial champions of universal suf frage, have so ordained, and yon are ex pected to vote tbe Radical ticket, and thus testify your high appreciation of the privi lege of a free ballot! In France they have a somewhat similar registry law. There the yens d'aimes march the free French voters to the polls at the point of the bayo net, expecting them to shout vtve VEmper eurf In Texas our Radical masters have quite a different Registry law. There the polls are kept open for four days, that thousands of nameless and vagabond ne groes .may have time io move from pre cinot to precinct, and cast as many ballots as may be necessary to secure the election of Radical candidates! And this is the party that in one breath exclaims for “ uni veisai suffrage” and in the next that "none but ‘ loyal’ Asa shall vote! ’ Col. Fillet quoted tbe Roman maxim that " it takes a good stick to make a Mer <»Qry and proceeded to show that it takes a bettor stick than Geary to make a Gov ernor of Pennsylvania. He ably reviewed Geary’s many short comings and mani fest corruptions—his sancliom of special le gislation in the interest of monopolies and ; corporations,bis utter subserviencies to the ■ demands ofthe Treasury ißlng,aud the legis- : lative roosters and pinchers who sit on their perches like buzzards waitingfor their prey ; —und his indiscriminate exercise of the par- J doning power, in relieving Radical cut- 1 thoata and thieves from the merited punish- j ment to which an honest judioiary had con- ' signed them. Hedenounced in fittiDgterms ! the unconstitutional law, signed by Geary, in tbe interests of the railroad companies ; limiting damages on account of railroad j injuries to $3,000, and on account of: death to |5 000! He exposed the villainy . of tbe bill that was surreptitiously snaked through the Legislature and Bigned by Geary, abolishing a Judicial District, for no other reason than that the Judge was too honest to be controlled by the ring—a law that was at once declared by the unanimous voice of the Supreme Court to be unconsti tutional. Weli.might the Supreme Court denounce the act as unconstitutional, for if the Legislative Ring and a corrupt Execu tive could abolish a Judicial District, what could prevent them from abolishing the Supreme Court itself? The very existence of such a ring proves Geary to be utterly unfit and unworthy to be entrusted with the government of this great Commonwealth for three years more. And he will not be so trusted. On the second Tuesday of Oc tober tho western countiesiof Pennsylva nia will declare tbeir condemnation ol him in casting their votes for that true and in corruptible man, Asa Packer. Tbe oil re gions will give an overwhelming vote against Geary, thus rebuking a faithless executive for his sanction of the oil pipe and tank monopoly swindlers —a body of corporators tbat dare not even show them selves in the territory they expected to lay under tribute. With Asa Packer in the gubernatorial ebair the roosters will fly from their perches in dismay—the lobbyists will find tbeir occupations gone—special legislation will cease —and Pennsylvania will again proudly raise her head,which has been too long hung in shame for an un worthy legislature aud executive. Col. Filler made a scathing exposure of the conspiracy of Geary and Covode to cheat Hod. H. D. Foster out of the seut to which he had been elected iu Congress, by means of what they called a supplementary proclamation, a conspiracy and fn-nd so barefaced and stupid, tbat even the R .d.cal Clerk of the House of Representatives re fused to dirty his hands by touching it, and Mr. McPherson is to-day traveling in Europe, that he may not be obliged to vote for Geary. . We have only been able to give a brief and meagre synopsis of the eloquent and eminently practical and convincing speeches of Messrs. Moore aud Filler. The large audience was delighted, and the loud cheers tbat followed the many telling bits of the speakers told that the Democracy of Lancaster city are fully alive to the impor tance of ihe present campaign. It was after 10 o’clock when Col. h flier concluded, Dnt tne nminsuw kre ’ i ” w to remain still longer called out H. G. Smith, of the Intelligencer, who made a lew brief and practical suggestions, after which the meeting closed with rousing cheers for Pucker, Pershing and the whole city ticket. Rndlcal Meeting- In Kew Holland At the risk of again having our reportor ial veracity called in question by tbe Radi cal papers, it is our duty to chronicle an other Radical " fizzle”—for the meeting at New Holland on Friday, was nothing more nor less. Notwithstanding tbe fact that the "Governor” was extensively advertised as the principal speaker, and unusual ef forts made to bring out the masses—not withstanding tbe fact tbat tbe New Hol land Brass Band had been driving through tbe town all afternoon to drnm up the faith ful, the Grand Escort by which Hans Geary was conducted into the ancient realm of Hans Graf consisted of exactly eight (S) vehicles including that In which Geary and his party rode! ADd that this immense caravan might not lack attention, just eight (8) mounted marshals, one for each carriage, rode grandly to tne front, with Capt. Abe Settley, late of the pasting and folding army, at their head. The Governor and his party stopped at Barstler’s Hotel, where they took supper,— our good looking friend Captain Btaufler being at the hekd of the table, flanked on the right by the lusty Governor, and on the left by the lean Wickersbam. While the good thiDgs were being dis cussed, tbe eight (8) marshals, were riding around in all directions in search of miss ing delegations from adjoining districts, but they were doomed to disappointment. Of the expected “seventy-five mounted men, bearing torches,” from Intercourse, not a single one put in au appearance. Of tbe expected "one hundred in carriages” from Salisbury, not one could be found by the chop-falleD marshals. In fact, the only delegation that came to time was tbat from Churchtown, numbering exactly thirteen (13) vehicles, and containing leas than twice that number of men and boys. Under these depressing circumstances the meetixg was called to order, and Gov. Geary was doubly introduced—first by Mr. E. G. Groff, President of themseting, and then by Mr. A. J. Kauffman, Chairman of the Radical County Committee. After listening attentively to the Gover nor’s speech, and carefully reading the copious notes we took of the same, we find it such “a miricle of bosh and nothingness” that we are constrained to agree with John Coyode tbat he is the "humbuggedest guv ner Pensilvany ewer hadd.” It was couched in miserable English, filled with self-laudation, interspersed with vulgarity, if not obscenity—contained appeals for votes, and vile slanders against his poiit cal opponents. To publish the speech in full would be charging our columns with a weight of twaddle they aro unaccustomed to hear, and would deprive our readers of more useful and entertaiDiDg matter. We will content ourselves therefore by stating the general drift of the Governor’s speech and making a few “elegant extracts” there from. 01 course his first great topic was himself. He congratulated himself that the people of Lancaster county loved him—that they were a mong the first to nominate him— that they gave him 6,000 majority. He was again their chosen standard bearer, and if they would only “spread themselves” they could Increase his majority. They knew haw arduously,he had labored for them. To him they owed the change in the election laws, whereby the election of all offi cers from Governor down to township supervisors takes place on the same day—to him they owed the reduction of the Stale debt, some $5,000,000, and he was to-day ready to pay State bonds to the amount of $1,000,000—“All ibis is due to my administration, and there is no parallel to it in the history of any State.” He made no allusion to the fact that the pasting and folding swindle had cost the State $89,708 that the expense of the publio printing has been increased annually nearly sloo,ooo— the legislative expenditures have been Increased $175,939.91—and that the expenses of the Executive Department, for which he is individually responsible, has been in creased nearly $40,000. "Come ud to Har risburg,” said Hans, “and you will find my administration all right. There you can examine the documents; they are got up by your fellow-citizen, Matt Friday; he writes a magnificent band; splendid pen manship, in fine bold characters, and I keep him at it all the time. He can account to you for all money drawn from the Treas ury for my department.” Having satisfied his hearers that “ Fri day’s splendid penmanship” covered up all the frauds on the Treasury the Gover nor next stated hie “ four modes ” of pay ing off the National debt. First mode. “ General Grant told me the other day that he and Boutwell could col lect enough revenue to pay off $125,000,000 a year. I told him I would let him off with $100,000,000 and that would wipe out the debt in twenty years.” Second mode. “I estimate th£ value of all the property in the United. States at $40,000,000,000. Suppose we tax you 5 per cent, on all this. You will be all the richer afterwards and have more money than yon had before you paid the tax, by reason of the advance in yourproperty.” Third mode. “ We have millions of acres of territory, rich in exhanstless mines of gold and silver, coal and copper. Let the government seize these mines, extract from them their hidden treasures, and the na tional debt can be paid in 24 hours.” Fourth mode. “ I know a merchant in the West who pays $20,000 a year for eggs; this alone is alarge revenue; but let our people all over the country embark in the egg traffic. Let the “roosters” that the Lancaster Intelligencer talks so much about be let loose among the hens; this will set them all to laying, and in a short time we will have eggs enough to pay off our entire debt.” Had.some vile “Copperhead” about this time shied an egg—a bad egg—at his Ex cellency, bespattering his. magnificent beard with iU unsaroiy and odoriferous _sontent?,:it coaid: noLterre- .created more .wonder and amazement-ln the crowd, than the .truly original method of li ‘ quldatlng our-enoftnous debt. ' Havlnggotridofthedebt. the Governor next explained bow he got so many criminaia by the exercise of the pardoning power. He acknowledged thesofUmpeach ment of pardoning a good many Radical thieves for party reasons, but he had coun terbalanced his action in that respect by pardohing a less number of convicts who -deserved pardon than either Gov." Finley or Mifflin. The- Governor -assigned no reason tor going so far back as 1799, for '■& precedent; and forgot to state that he came into office with voluntary pledges tobreak np the abases of* his pre decessors in the exercise-of the - pardoning power. Qe took no notice of the repeated charges brooght against him by the Pitts* bo ig Despatch, the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, and other leading Radical pa pers, but he did pitch in heavy against-our friend P Qray Meek,oftheßellfonte Watch man, .for bavin g charged him with pardon ing Twitohell, and intimating that he was now somewhere among the Rocky Moon tains. “That man Meek” said the Gover nor, "Is a [dirty, stinking skunk, and started the vile slander, for the purpose of inveigling me into a libel suit; but I learn ed too many tricks while I was In the army to be caught in sucb a trap as a libel suit with an editor, and particularly anch a one as that unholy, lying scoundrel, Meek. Otber sneak ing, dirty 'copperheads have gone from door to door, making the charge that I par doned the nesro who was convicted of per petrating a crime too terrible to name on three white girl?. I have not pardoned him, and I never will. (Voice, “He : ought to be hung ) Yes, and if one of them girls bad been mine I wouldn’t have troubled the court with his punisnment, but would have executed swift justice with my good right arm. “ At a Democratic meeting in the West,” the Governor, “ 1 saw a wagon tilled with white girls; and they bore a banner containing the words * Fathers, brothers, save us from negro equality.* As I looked at them I thought their banner should' bave been Inscribed ‘Fathers, brothers, hold.us back, for we can’t resist the temptation of rushing into the arras of these nigger?.’ Now the Republican girls are not so fearful of negro equality—they do not tiDd him so attractive as their Dem ocratic sisters; but if you wilL elect me Governor and the negroes, negressee, and mulattresses should use love powders, pa phian lotions, or Greecian bends, to the enchantment of our Copperhead friends, 1 will bave a law passed compelling all of them to read the Lancaster Intelligen cer for six months, which I think is the most severe punishment that could be in flicted upon them.” The Governor evidently reads the Intelli gencer himself and feels so keenly the chas tisement it inflicts, that he is ready to ex claim, with Cain “my punishmeut is greater than I can bear.” The Governor concluded his haranguo by the most pitiable appeal for votes. Said he, “ This is the last time that I will appear before you’as a candidate for office. Don’t suffer me to bo dishonored by electing oyer my bead a oopporhead, who nover gave a man or a dollar for the good of bis country. While I was fighting and bleeding (or yon on the field ol battle, my opponeut was in Paris, along with Mason and Slidel and other rebels and traitors. Hisface waslong and his countenance troubled whenever be : heard of our victories; but it was lit up und his mouth extended from ear to ear when ever he heard of our defeats.” Geary of course knew that he was deliber ately lying when he made the aboye state* ment. No one knows better than be that Judge Packer was not a single day out of the country from the commencement until tbe close of the war. But so many other wilfully false and stupidly absurd state ments were made by him that it is not nec essary to enumerate or notice them. We would not occupy so much space in noticing the speech were it not that our Radical con temporaries are ashamed to give even a synopsis of the speeches of their own can didate. That the foregoing report of the Intelligencer is correct in all its essen tials, dozens of Radicals who were present will see at a glance. Gov. Geary was followed by Prof. J. P. Wickersham, whose speech contained little argument, and much vituperation, but we have not room even for a sketch of It. Ho was followed by a blatherskite from Phila delphia, with whose bosh tbe audience be came so disgusted that they improvised a sham tight to get rid of him, leaving the speaker without a corporal’s guard to bawl at. After the row, Capt. John S. Swift of Boston.was introduced,as a General! but as nobody wanted to listen to biua.be gave way to the irrepressible David G. Steacv who was determined to show that be had” about as much beard and brains as Geary. We left for home at half past ten, at which time Senator Billingfelt was trying to teach Hans Groff and a few others, Republican There was at no time during tbe evening more than two hundred persona' on the ground, and not a single hearty cheer was given, to any of the speakers, except wheD the President of the Meeting called for them. The only redeeming feature of the meet lng was the music of the New Holland Brass Band, more than one-half of whose members are Democrats. TUsy performed excellently. Lancaster Coant j Agricultural Fair. For some time past the managers ol' the Lancaster Park Association have been bus- ily engaged in erecting, arranging and beautifying the buildings in the Park En closure lor the purpose of affording accom modation and comfort to the exhibitors aud visitors at the present fair, and thereby reinstate the institution of an Annual Lan • easier County Agricultural Fair, which from a combination of circumstances had ceased to exist. Their efforts appear to have been crowed with complete success 1 and to all appearances they have left noth ing further to be desired. Should the[pra> tical working out of the programme prove unseen deficiency to exist, no doubt every effort will be made to remedy it in the fnture. Although the golden month of October came to us in tears, instead of sunny smiles, though the ffood brought our county bridges to grief and impeded travel for a time, to day Nature has again put on her accustomed autumnal aspect and all hearts have grown light under the influence of pleasant,'.braciug weather. On the opening day of the fair there was not to be expected a very large attendance ol visitors, yet it exceeded the usual gath erings on such occasions. The Fine Arts Hall is a largo and con veniently arranged building and is fast filling up with articles of artistic taste, re tinement and ingenuity. The Mechanical Department is already well represented, showing a praise worthy rivalry in our mechanics and in the Agricultural Depart tnent there seems to be an especiul desire on the part of the manufacturers to outvie each other. The Bhedding for the stock and poultry are evidently arranged with a proper view for comfort and availability for feeding. The cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry at present on the grounds are cer tainly of a superior quality of breed, and the Canada and Jersey cattle of Wm. L. Peiper attract especial attoation. Landis A Co., machinists, have a portable steam engine on exhibition, Space will not allow us to give, to-day, thewhole of the entries, nor do we think that it is at present judi cious to call especial attention to any par ticular animal or article in competition, as it might be construed into an intention to give prominence in the eyes of the judges to the property of one person in preference to another, but as a guide to those visiiing tha fair, wo give a synopsis of the entries of eaqh individual, which will direct the vis itor to the article and its owner.

Mr. Shober hag been largely engaged In tbe manufacture of paper for a number of y ears, and on Monday he paid a visit to his mill on the Conestoga. No great damage seemed to have been done to the property, though there was considerable apparent danger. Mr. Shober and Mr. John Bair, of York Furnace, who accom panied him, had started to return, when Mr. Bair, who was driving, noticed that Mr. Shober did not reply to a remark he made; and on looking around be found him lying back and evidently gasping In the agony of death. He loosened his cravat quickly, and did all he could, but without avail. In a few moments life was extinct. Tbns sud denly passed away a citizen widely known throoghoQt Lancaster comity, and highly esteemed by all bis large circle of acquain tances and friends. Tbe deceased was the candidate for County Commissioner on the Democratic ticket. He has been for years a member of the Select Council of this city, and has held otber positions of honor and trust. Tbe shock fell with fearful sudden ness upon the members of his family, a number of whom we met only a few moments before tbe news of a kind lather’s death reached them, on their way to GraetTs landing to look at tbe flood in the Conestoga. Tbe announcement of Mr. Shober’s sudden decease called ont universal expressions of regret from our citizens as the news was carried from lip to lip. Truly, in the midst of life we are ia death. The deceased was 61 years old last July,but wa9apparently in vigorous health at the hour of his sudden and unexpected decease. Octoder.—The month, whose birth occurred Friday, is one of the most delightful months of the years; it is made so by that delicious,but brief, poriod known as tbe lodiun Summer. It is the month of months for enjoying true rural felicity. It is tbe month in which furs are brought out and aired, and overcoats are over hauled, ie-bound, and furnished with newly worked button-holes. It is the month for putting up stoves and replenish ing coal-bins; and in which the ladies gather their choicest bouquets of autumn leaves a 9 well as of fall flowers. It Is the month in which we And ample advance compensation lor the terrible November that immediately follows. It is a month of political wire pulling, of serene skies, of chestnuts and chinquapins, of monstrous apples, of new cider, and of autumnal gorgeousness. Epurata Literary Society.—A Liter ary Society has been organized at Ephrata, this county, with Mr. D. R. Hertz as its President and C. T. Ziegler as Secretary. Tbe last meeting of the Association- was quite a success; a number of referred ques tions were answered by the different mem ber?, ami the resolution “ Resolved that tbe glory of a country depends more upon Its morals tbau its literature was discussed” — in the affirmative by Mr. A. Bowman. A the negative by Messrs. J. 8. Nolde and* K. Boyer. A paper called the “Literary Casket ” made up of contributions furnish ed by members of the Association was read by Mr. A. Bowman. Tbe Society meets overy Friday evening. Fatal Accident.—The Reading Times says that John Henry, employed by Adam Hippie as a carpenter on the Colebrookdale Railroad, fell through the trestllng of a bridge upon which he was working, a short distance beyond Boyertown, on Friday af ternoon last, and broko his neck. He was lrom Lancaster county, and had been boarding in Poltstown.
