THE UNION STATE CONVENTION.
The Xorristown Herald and Rejmbliran
lias a very timely and appropriate article
concerning the action to be taken by the
coming Union State Convention, in giving
expression to the public will as to the ques
tions which are now in process of settle
ment. That paper very justly claims that
a declaration should be made, that " the
loyal men of Pennsylvania declare this to j
be their unalterable opinion : That,
" No loyal man in the rebellious States
should be refused a right conferred upon a
rebel. And that,
"No loyal man in the rebellious States,
competent to vote, should be deprived of
that right be his color what it may."
It would seem as if propositions so emi
nently self-evident, and conclusions so just,
as those laid down by the Republican, would
' not need discussion, and that the assem
bled representatives of the loyal people of
the State would make haste to proclaim
their belief in their correctness, and unal
terable determination to support and ad
here to these truths. The people of this
Commonwealth, expect no less of the Union
State Convention than a declaration of priiJ
ciples which shall contain all, if not morqj
than is here asked for. Less will bring
disappointment, create disgust, and power
. fully contribute to bring defeat upou the
• great party which should carry the State
this fall by an overwhelming majority.
Another matter is worthy of the consid
' eratiou of those who are engaged in en
deavoring to "fix up" the Convention, its
resolutions and its nominees. The brave
soldiers who have for the last four years
fought the battles of the country, have
mostly returned home. They have rescued
the Union from its enemies. Surely some
, recognition is due from the Union party of
■ the State to the valor, the endurance, the
f loyalty, which has animated these tried and
true men. The Union State Convention
must select some capable and worthy vet
eran as one of the candidates it presents
t for the suffrages of the people. It will not
. he enough that it adopts resolutions ap
plauding the returned soldiers. Sonic more
direct and tangible evidence of our cordial
■ and hearty sympathy is needed.
■ In enforcing this fact, we have no motive
' except the success of the Union party, and
1 what we believe is due to the soldiers. We
have no candidate to bring forward, and
shall he satisfied with any man who truly
represents that worthy hand who have iip
. on so many bloody fields upheld the stand
ard of the Union.
SaT 1 It would seem as if the leaders of
, the Democratic party had been smitten
- with a terrible madness—a madness that
made them blind and deaf to the savagery
s j of treason and ke*n-seented and eagle-eyed
1 j in detecting and exposing purely imaginary
' j offences on the part of faithful public offi
cers. They have made repeated efforts to
' ! show that they had got rid of all affection
! for the authors of the rebellion. Every few
1 days their organs made spasmodic efforts
s , to support the General Administration. Mr.
,; Lincoln was the frequent subject of these
[ ! evanescent manifestations of Democratic
I candor, and President Johnson was liter
■ I ally covered with early praise and prorni
i ses, coming voluntarily from these same
politicians. And yet in every case they
j have broke their protestations and pledges,
| and have sought the meanest pretexts to
1 j resume the robes of faction and of hate. Is
j it any wonder that a party thus championed
I and counselled has become the synonym of
! disaster at every election ? Is it any won
j der that even the rebels turn away from
i men who, fearing to light openly against
1 the Government, have embarrassed it all
j through the war, and are now toiling with
; satanic energy to hinder its efforts to sc
j cure an honorable reconstruction of the
Union.
MAJOR SIIU MAX, of the Ist Wisconsin ea
i velry, arrived in \V ashington on Saturday,
I from Macon, Ga., having in charge forty
i boxes of the captured archives of the rebel
| government. They consist of a complete
; record of the proceedings of the rebel Pro
i visional Congress held at Montgomery,
J Ala., in the spring of 1861. These docn
j ments were captured from Howell Cobb,
. | in whose possession tliey had long ago
been placed for safe keeping. The entire
official history of the rebel army of the
Tennesee, comprising all its records while
under the command of Bragg, Johnston,
' Hood, are a part of this let; also the hooks
ot the rebel Treasury Department, captured
at Albany, Ga., which point they had reach
j ed as a part of Jeff. Davis' train.
BARN en's MUSEUM, New York city, was
| totally destroyed by tire, on Thursday last.
The fire was discovered about 12$ o'clock,
and the entire building was soon enveloped
; inflames, notwithstanding the efforts of the i
firemen. Most of the contents were lost.
The loss of the Prince of Showmen is esti
mated at $250,000 upon which there was an
insurance of about $60,000. BARNTM informs
the public that he will open a new Museum
at the earliest possible moment.
The fire spread to the adjacent buildings
on Ann and Fulton streets, involving a
large destruction of property estimated at
$2,000,000.
tee*" Mr. Miles Cragin, residing at Sus
quchanna depot, Susquehanna county, Pa.,
on Tuesday night, 10th inst., sat down on !
a stoop in Canal street, New York, and
while there fell asleep. When he awoke |
four deeds for certain houses and tracts of
land in Susquehanna county, Pennsylva
nia, and Broome county, New York, made
out in his name, and valued at fifteen thous
and dollars, which were in his possession •
at the time he sat down on the stoop, were
missing, they having been abstracted from 1
his pocket. j j
I SECRETARY STANTON AND THE TRIBUNE. !
The New York- Tribune makes the closing |
of Ford's theatre, at Washington, the pre
text for an untimely and unjust assault up- j
on Mr. STANTON, and his official conduct as |
Secretary of War. The Times retorts, that
" It does stand 011 record that the Tribune has re
sisted nearly every vigorous proceeding which the
Government has deemed essential to the prosecu
tion of the war and the suppression of the Rebel
lion. "
Without endorsing the sweeping aver
ment of the Times, \\ i- cannot refrain from
remarking that the erratic and inconsistent
course of the Tribune during tie- j ast two
years, has lost that paper the
dence once reposed iu it by the people. ,
There is a feeling, which has grown out ul \
the unwise counsels of the Tribune, that it
is an unsafe guide, not to he blindly follow
ed. The occasions have not been few, dur- ■
ing the progress of the late war, in which
its suggestions or recommendations have
shocked the sense of the loyal people, and I
have evoked public disapprobation, as be-'
ing calculated to embarrass the Govern-!
> rneut in the prosecution of the war, und to |
• dishearten the patriotic.
As regards Secretary STANTON,the enven-1
1 oined shafts of the Tribune fail to aceont
■ plished the intended purpose for which they
■ I are sent. That he has committed errors j
> since he held the portfolio of the War De
-1 uMtnu nt, none will care to assert. The !
*un!Sjritude of the duties pressing upon him,
HILT J^ ( ' cn * OO luuc l' f° r one man, however
r or wise, to discharge with entire ac-1
• curacy. But the country recognizes the
2 faithfulness with which he has applied hirn
-2 self to the great work before him—his un
tiring energy, his industry, and above all
- the incorruptible integrity, which lias pre
- served his reputation from the faintest sus
• picion of corruption.
- When the history of the Great Rebellion
5 shall he written, EDWIN M. STANTON will re
- eeive the credit which is pre-eminently his
1 due, for his herculean labors, iu providing
2 the means of carrying 011 the conflict, and
1 for his sagacity in arrang ing the plans and
2 details, to which in a great measure is due
1 the success of our arms. That he should
1 he bitterly assailed is owing to the fact,
- that* contractors, speculators and office
' seekers have found no special favors at his
t hands. Having the interests of the coun
- try at heart, he has faithfully guarded
2 against corruption, and has saved his De
-1 , partinent from the horde of plunderers, at
j traded by the magnitude of the opera'.ions
2 j rendered necessary by the prosecution of
I I the War.
' I The occasional reports of the retirement
1 of Mr. STANTON originate from those with
' j whom " the wish is father to the thought."
■ I We are pleased to learn, from the highest
■ | authority, that the best understanding ex
| ists between the President and the Secre
i tary <ir \\ ar, and that there is no intention
; on the part of the Secretary to retire from
1 I office, and 110 desire 011 the part iff the Pres
t i •
ident that lie should do so. The country
' | rests with entire confidence upon Secretary
J STANTON, and would regard his withdrawal
j from the Cabinet as a great calamity.
' | Miss CLARA BARTON, daughter of Judge
1 ' Barton, of Worchester, Mass., who has ob
■' | tained national repute by publishing a list
s j of missing soldiers, and by her heroic deeds
• j to the wounded in battles, and even under
') fire, left Washington 011 Friday, in a gov
' | eminent vessel, with a party, for the pur
" | pose of inclosing the area of ground at
' j Audersonville where so many Federal pris
' | oners perished from want and exposure,
1 and,of putting up headboards at their graves.
' : She conceives that she has a suitable list
} | of the deceased, and has accordingly ob
' j tained seventeen thousand headboards for
I j the purpose.

It is intimated that, now the conspi
-1 . racy is over and the sentence of the Mili
-1 j tary Commission are executed, there will
1 I soon he some definite action concerning the
' trial of Jefferson Davis. If it should he
- determined to try him for treason, the pro
-2 j ceediugs will, of course, take place before
1.1 civil tribunal; hut, from present iudica-
I tions, it is more probable that lie will be
"j tried by military commission as the leader
' or instigator of the conspiracy ; for it is
said in Government quarters there are
1 j newly discovered proofs against him in that
' j connection.
A $ irginia delegation waited on
President Johnson, to represent to him the
necessity and advantage of withdrawing 1
1 the $20,000 proviso in his amnesty procla- i
! mation. They appear to have had a free
j conversation with the President on the sub
ject, hut from the semi-official report of the
• interview, they do not seem to have made
| much out of it. The President talked to
j them very plainly and truthfully, and told
them he could not see the force of their i
representations. He finally said that he I
would look over the papers they had laid
before him, hut gave them not the least
j hope that their request would he granted. !
ttaT Elections will take place in Ken
tucky on the first Monday of August, and in j
Vermont on the tirst Tuesday in September, i
In the former State members of Congress
and State Treasurer are to he chosen ; in '
the latter a Governor, Lieutenant Governor, :
and State Treasurer. The Maine election
for Governor and members of the Legisla-'
tare occur on the second Monday in Sep- j
tern her.
EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.—The President par
' doned Mr. Lee, a lawyer, who was convic

EMIGRATION TO PEL A IV A RE. \
MB. EDITOK.—I IIIJI receiving frequent inquiries
from persons in Bradford County and elsewhere in J
regard to the advantages offered for settlement in
the State of Delaware. Will you permit me to re
ply to these inquiries through the colunius of the €
Heportrr f jj
Having spent several months in Canvassing the
State, 1 ought to l>e able to present some consider- '
ations that may prove useful to those who eontein- '
I plate removing to that section of country.
I 1, JLiii. CLIMATE.—In general, Delaware enjoys a
| mild and equable climate, with none of the rigors j
of a Northern winter. It is the testimony of Nor
! thern men, resident in Delaware during the sum
| rner, that they suffer no more from the heat thau '
•at the North* This is accounted for, in part, by
. tiio tact that the Stutc lies between two bodies of '
. salt water, which have a tendency to soften and '
equalize the climate. A prominent Life Insurance
officer wrote me a few months since, saying, "Del
awaie. is considered a healthy and delightful loca
tion."
2, SOIL. —lt is only moderately fertile, but pre
eminently adapted to the purposes intended by the
| Creator. Some varieties of soil were made for the
I growth of cereals, others for fruits andfvegetables,
| still other varieties to furnish materials for cloth- i
I iug. It is evident that the soil of Delaware was j
I designed by the Creator to promote the happiness j
I of the human family in the production of the most i
I delicious fruits.
3, LOCATION.—Most of the land offered for sale,
lies along the line of liailroad in Kent and Sussex
' counties. Persons in love with New England in
, stitutions, and visiting the State, should not fail to
stop at Canterbury Station where is located an en- i
| terprising settlement of Congregationalists, who i
j are now building a new church edifice, with other >
! institutions of Northern pattern. The Del. It. R. |
which is completed and in operation as far as Sals- !
) bury, in lower Maryland, is destined to be a grand
thoroughfare of travel from the North along the
Atlantic coast. By this road there will be a sav- j
1 ing of sixty miles over the old route through Bal- !
: timore. It is easy to see that land thus located j
I must rapidly appreciate its value.
4, PiiieEs.—Prices of land in market are exceed-
I ingly variable, and range from ten to one hundred j
1 dollars per acre. It is safe and sufficient to say !
' that persons, with limited means and a little Nor- '
i thern energy, can at moderate expense, procure for
! themselves pleasant and valuable homesteds in ]
Delaware.
5, EMPLOYMENT.—To persons who have a fond
ness for fruit culture, Delaware offers surpassing
j inducements. This branch of industry is fast be
[ coming highly remunerative. Prices will vary,but
the best varieties of the peach, pear, and straw
| berry, will hardly become a drug in the markets of
■ New York, and Philadelphia, or even in our own
| rural village. A few dpspeptic and misanthropes
1 have expressed fears that mankind will speedily be
| glutted b} - a surplnssage of Rareripes and Bart
' letts ; but healthy men with sound stomachs en-
I tertain no such apprehensions. To men of good
. politics who want to raise good peaches and get '
• well paid for the same, we say, go to Delaware
| and you w ill find a promising field for both politics
and peaches.
' I
(i. SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. —With the exception
of New Castle county, the religious and education- |
al advantages of Delaware are rather limited, al- j
though greatly superior to those in the new States :
and Territories of the West. In all parts of" the j
State there are schools and churches accessible to \
the inhabitants. These will be greatly improved j
by the introduction of Northern intelligence and j
j enterprise.
Much more might be said to show that Delaware j
i offers rare advantages to those who wish to procure j
pleasant homes, with useful and profitable avoea- j
, tton. With genial and fruitful seasons, with daily
access to the best markets in the world, with ex
| cellent water and wood in abundance, Delaware ;
I now invites Northern families to come in and oc- \
, cupy. I can only add in conclusion, that men of j
I decided Union sentiments who shall remove to the ;
j Diamond State will do the country an important ,
i service. The final passage of the Constitutional j
I Amendment depends as much upon this rusty lit- j
tie hinge as upon the great key of Pennsylvania, j
It is well known that Delaware is big with bad pol- j
: ities, The present Legislature is not simply cop- j
i perliead ami benighted, but a "body of death* to j
j all progress in the right direction. A few hundred
j more loyalists from the North would speedily turn
; this state of things upside down and right side up.
I Are there any such men in Bradford who want
Delaware? Then Delaware wants such men. The
j country wants them there. To such we say, go
and give your influence towards theperpuify ol'the
! best government and the grandest nation on earth.

THE CHENANGO CANAL-
The Bingham ton Republican, speaking of
the canal extension, says that contractors
Dennison and Gere are Syraenseans, Lord
is of Rochester, and Donoltls and Ross of
Albion, Orleans county. In relation to
the work, the Republican says :
The work is to he finished by September
Ist, 18GG. The sections let above take the
canal from the Rock Bottom Mills, or the I
point where the canal crosses the river,and |
| carry it to a point below Union. Each sec
tion is about a mile iu length, and they are
uumhered from the commencement of the
extension at a point near the fair grounds,
the first section extending from there to the
Susquchaunak river, and section number
two commencing there and extending down
the river.
By this the position of each section can
i be calculated on the map, or will he readily
inferred by persons familiar with the geog
raphy of the canal route as far as let. Sec
j tion No. 1 leaves the present Chenango Ca
| nal at the fair grounds, as before stated,
| and takes an almost direct course for the
j river at a point a little above the Brandy
| wine premises. It goes under the tracks
I of the Syracuse and Erie roads very near
their junction. Arriving at the river it
i continues down the river to the Rock Bot
j torn bridge. Here Section No. 1 ends. On
J this section arc located all the locks let,
(three) the nine other sections not having
1 a lock their entire length. The river is
crossed by raising the dam at present there,
i and then using a wire rope.
This work is not let, nor will it he under- i
dertaken until the canal is likely to he j
nearly finished, as no interference with the
I mills is desired until necessary. Only
j s2Bß,i.i6t>, are required to build these nine
■ sections. Section No. lis far more expen
sive, hut even that at a reasonable figure, ,
; and adding in all other charges, it would
1 seem that quite a sum would he left of the :
first appropriation after finishing the first <
i ten. It looks now like work, and the ex- ]
tension should he pushed to ..n early com- 1
pletion. ]

tit&° The duty of placing the manacles '
upon Mrs. Surratt, escorting her to the gal- •
lows, and supporting her until the trap fell, (
devolved upon Lieut. Col. W. H. 11. M'Call, 1
of this place. When placing the irons up- 1
on her wrists, she told him lie was no gen- (
tleman, or he would not do so. Col. M'C. '
told her it was his unpleasant duty, in obe- r
dfence to orders, and not liis choice. Her 1
parting salute to him was, "You are a i
scoundrel !" which were about the last au- l '
dible words she uttered. Several other cit
izens of Lewisburg witnessed the sad spec
tacle.—Lewixburg Chronicle. t

that an order will shortly emenate from the t

ADDRESS TO THE OLD 57th REGIMENT !
HARBLSUCRO, Pa., July 6, 18(15.
To the Officer* and Soldier* of the old :uth
Penn'a:
Four years ago our thoughts were turn
ed upon War to come. To-day our thoughts
are upon War passed and Fuace to come. 1
The bloody strife is over andyou with many
of your fellow soldiers are now to return
to your homes.
We part joyfully, for the life we have I
led as soldiers has been a severe oue, uud
we are glad the task is over,and that hence
forth we can enjoy the comforts of peace
ful life. Yet the associations we have form
ed are very hard to sever, and during our
whole course of life in the future we will
revert with pleasure and pride to the asso
ciations and companionships formed during
those three or four years in which the reg
iment fought twenty-seven engagements
and marched hundreds of miles.
Let us not forgetcach other, l'arting as
a hand of brothers, let us cling to the mem
ory of those tattered banners, under which
we fought together and which, without dis
honor, we have just now restored to the au
thorities who placed them in onr hands.—
Till we grow grey-headed and pass away
let us sustain the reputation of the noble
old regiment,—for we can point to none
more glorious ! Fortune threw together
two organizations—the 84th I'. V. and 57th
P. V.—to make up the present command.
Both regiments have been in service since
the beginning of the strife, and the records
of both will demand respect through all
coming time.
Very many of those who have been en
; rolled with us have fallen, and their graves
; are scattered here and there throughout the
i South. We will not forget these ; and the :
people of this nation will and must honor
their memory :—for how can they avoid it
! when they sec little children pointing their
! fingers at the portrait on the wall and hear
them saying, "Ho died for our Country !"
Comrades, God bless you all !
Farewell !

A CHOLERA PANIC IN EUROPE. '
From the London Telegraph, June 22.
The cholera is on its travels—that fierce,
| pitiless plague, which has its residence in
the East, hut sallies forth at periodical in
tervals to decimate West, North and South.
From time to time we hear of the visita
tion in distant places—deaths by whole
sale in Ceutral Asia, deathsj in Southern
Russia, regiments disbanded by death on
Indian marches, and rivers choked with
corpses in the islands of the Eastern Ocean,
i The last Red Sea news brought word that
Mecca and Medina are this year vast lazar
1 houses of cholera smitten vict rns, the pil
grims perishing all along the road to the
I shrines from Jeddah and the southern ports,
i and Sheiks who had come to kiss the Kaa-
I ha turning hack in horror, with their trains,
I to succumb in tents and houses where they

DAVIS, CLAY AND MITCHEL.—A Fortress
Monroe letter says that every morning Mr.
Clay takes his hour's permitted walk, but
Jeff Davis and Mitchel no one sees or can
see, except General Miles, the officer of the
day, and the guard. Imaginary stories as
to their treatment and deportment have
been written, but they amount to nothing.
Davis is in much better health than when
he came here, and evidently has no inten
tion of dying hj- starvation or the halter,
or anything but old age. He has plenty to
eat, and of good quality. He is in no dun
' geon, hut has half a casemate, and plenty
of air and a fine view of the water. lie is
not allowed to read and write, hut can
keep up as much and as vigorous thinking
as he pleases. lie cannot attempt self
violence without detection, and there is no
possibility of his escape.
AFFAIRS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.—A corres
pondent who has been travelling exten
sively through South Carolina, is satisfied
that the amount of cotton still remaining
ir. the interior of that State, is very large,
exceeding any estimate that has yet been
published. There is much difficulty in get
ting it to the seabord, owing, in a consider
able degree, to the slow progress which is
being made by the railroad companies in
repairing their lines. These roads were
most effectually destroyed by General
Sherman, and the iron to relay the tracks
lias yet to he bought, and the money to
buy it will have to he borrowed at the
North. So greatly lias the collapse of the
rebel currency shattered the faith of the
South Carolina planters in paper money of
all kinds that they generally prefer "ten
cents per pound in gold for their cotton to
fifteen cents in greenbacks.
A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH. —During
the storm of Saturday afternoon the resi
dence of Rev. George W. Cleveland, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Harbor Creek,
Eric county. Pa., was struck by lightning,
setting the house on fire and doing consid
erable damage in no less than six of the
rooms. The roof was burned through, and
the house was much injured by the flames.
Mr. Cleveland was knocked senseless, and
the rest of the family were severely stunn
ed. Mr. C., despite the persistent efforts
of his friends, remained unconscious for a
considerable period, which gave rise to a
report of his death. He is now, happily,
recovered. During the excitement conse
quent upon the fire, the valuable library of
Mr. Cleveland was carried out into the
rain, with the intention of carrying it to a
place of safety, and it sustained serious
injury. The honse will he put in complete
repair at an early day.
A SWEET little girl the daughter of a dis-'
tinguished poet, lias on her face a mole or !
two, by which its beauty is somewhat mar-!
red. Hearing one day a compliment paid !
to her sister, she demurely asked, "Papa,
would I be as pretty as sister if I wasn't 1
mouldy?"
PRISONERS OK \Y AH. —Two hundred and
twenty-six were released, Friday, the last
remnant able to be moved. A baggage |
waggon load of maimed and lame ones was
carried from the transportation office; to the ,
depot. All now left of the sick will be ta
ken charge of by the Post Hospital and dis
charged fast as their recovery will permit. 1
The business of the Prison ('amp is at an'
end and that bureau will be abolished
soon as all needful matters can be finished j
up. — E/mira A<l twtixer.
Hay- With reference to Emerson Ether-1
idge, the Louisville Journal states that lie
was arrested in Gibson County, Fenn., sev
eral days ago, by Licut.-Col. Debozey, and
taken to Columbus, Ky., where Lieut.-Col.
Debozey is in command. Mr. Etheridge
had been delivering speeches to the people
of an exceedingly exasperating character, (
denouncing the President personally and
abusing the Government generally.
WHISKY STRLCK BY LIGHTNING.—On the
10th instant a bonded warehouse at dames
town, Illinois, seven miles from Spring
field, containing twenty-five hundred bar-!
rels of whisky, was struck by lightning, !
and the contents destroyed. The whisky
(lowed down hill into the Sangamon, which
was covered all the way, and for
more than a mile, in a sheet of flame. The i
Great Western railroad bridge narrowly
escaped being set on lire by the burning
fluid. The loss is estimated at three hun
dred thousand dollars.
A IIERAI.D correspondent, who has lately
been through northern Alabama, states
that that region is almost one continuous
i field of cotton. The planters have given
' their attention to the business again tbis
i year almost us much as in ante-rebellion
| times, and the growing crop looks very
; fine. The negroes are "working for their
j former masters for wages, and the new la
! bor system appears to progress very well.
