Towanda, Thursday, August 2,1866.
Union State Ticket.
FOR GOVERNOR,
GEN. JOHN W. GEARY,
OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY.
CONGRESS
Adjourned on Saturday afternoon last.
Amongst its last acts was the passage of
the bill equalizing Soldiers' Bounties, and
increasing the pay of members to s'>ooo.
This provision was added by the Senate,
and reported by the Committee of Confer
ence. We observe that our member of
Congress very properly voted against the
proposed increase. The bill admitting Ne
braska was also passed, but not signed by
the President,-so that it does not become a
law.
On our outside will be found an
admirable letter, written by E. GUYER, Esq.,
addressed to Hon EDGAR COWAN It will
| amply repay perusal, being written in a
\ candid manner by one thoroughly convers
ant with the past political history of the
country.
TIME'S CHANGES. —In 1864, Mr. ROBERT F
CLARK of Blootnsburg, stamped this Coun
ty, to aid in the election of Mr. MERCUR, to
Congress. To-be-sure, the Republicans of
the County were sadly disappointed in the
character of Mr. CLARK'S ifforts, as his
speeches showed very little ability, and |
were principally devoted to denunciation of
Senator Bucklew, and the "Fishing Creek
Conspiracy." Still, as his utterances were
thoroughly loyal, the impression he created
were on the whole not unfavorable, though
: the idea became prevalent, that it did not
i take much talent to make a great man in
I Columbia County, if Mr. CLARK was a fair
' specimen of their "nig guns."
At that time lie was particularly severe
upon Mr. BUCKALEW and the treasonable
practices and disunion sentiments of the Dem
ocratic party. Now Mr.Cr.ARK is conferring
j with Senator BUCKALEW and appointing viru
iug all his most earnest "professions. This la
mentable spectacle is the price he pavs for
j the office of assessor of this District.
Has Mr. BUCKALEW and the Democratic
I paity changed in the few intervening months
' OR ' IAS Mr. CLARK become a traitor to
ibis party and principles? Are the plans
.of the Copperheads any the less objoction
able now to true Union men, than when
I Mi. CLARK SO boldly assailed and denoun
ced them '. \\ hatever may he the motives
which have controlled him, he has forfeited
■ the fair renown he once enjoyed, and will
find a congenial resting-place in the ranks
ot th • party he once effected to believe was
opposing toe best interests of the nation.
As we have no knowledge of the perso
nal prejudices or private griefs which have
I influenced Mr. CLARK, we have written about
his course, more in sorrow than in anger,
i as we sincerely lament that by such a great
act of treachery he should have over-shad
owed liis fair fame,with an odium which will
attach to it forever.
Hay Fader the heading of " Antecedents
' Everything," the New York Citizen, a Dem
ocratic newspaper, edited by a thorough
paced New \ork democratic politician,
I says : " Major Gen. Geary, the Republi
can nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania,
is a candidate we should hate to have to
vote against. His democratic opponent is
said to have been rather copperheady
throughout the war • and, if so, we trust \
every soldier and loyal democrat ici/l cast his !
ballot for Geary ." Good for Private Miles I
i 0 Keilly, who is tho editor of this paper.
Miles, although a democrat, is a true Irish
; soldier, and loves his country better than
his party ; and we advise all democratic
I soldiers to prove themselves true, by ful
lowing 1 livate 0 Reilly's straight-forward
I and soldierly advice.
lie adds:—"Geary did good service
everywhere in all capacities—signally dis
tinguishing himselt on the Pennsylvania
battle field of Gettysburg, which formed,
perhaps, the decisive turning point of the
war." Col. llalpine was a fighting staff
soldier during the war—serving as Assis
taut Adjutant General to the old Tenth Ar
my Corps—and this is what he says of
i Geary.
iRt E Ihe Ilarrisburg Telegraph s >ys
that if Hiester Clymer is worthy of being
elected Governor of Pennsylvania, by rea
son of his public course for the last four
years, Jefferson Davis is worthy of being
made President of the saved Union, as both
did what they could to render the rebellion
for the destruction of the Government suc
cessful— the one by his fire in the front, the
other by his fire in the rear of the Union
army. Ji the people of the country are re
solved to be liberal to traitors, we beg of
tiicui to indulge in no discriminations.
B®. The President, on Tuesday, com
munseated a Message to Congress, whereon
lie makes much discourse upon the ques
tion of Reconstruction generally, but an
nounces that he has approved the joint res
olution in favor of admitting those mem
bers of the Tennessee delegation who can
take the oath. In the House, Messrs. Tay-'
lor, Maynard, and Stokes appeared, took '
the oath and their seats. The first is a j
Johnson man ; the others are Radicals. Of i
the Senators, Patterson, the President's)
son-in-law, is of course devoted to "my :
policy." The other, Fowler, is a Radical.'

THE SITUATION IN EUROPE.
The successful completion of the Atlan
tic cable enables us to give the London
news of Friday, July 28, to the effect that
"a treaty of peace has been signed between
Austria and Prussia. 1 In addition, we have
news by the arrival of the steamers Peru
vian and China, with details more or less
complete to the 22d, leaving only live days ,
as a field for conjectures to be filled up here-,
alter with the facts.
| After the battle ot Asehafienburg the !
j federal army was much demoralized, and a
truce was established on the 18th at the re-1
<piest of Bavaria,which was a virtual with
drawal of Bavaria from the Confederation,
with a probable acceptance of the Prus
sian policy as to the future.
The Prussian army, under General Fal
kenstein, occupied Frankfort on the lsth,
and were cordially received, the comman
der immediately assuming the provisional
government of Frankfort and Xassau. The !
rump of the Diet escaped to Augsburg
where six or seven states only are repre
sented.
1 be Prussians advanced towards Vienna
the Austrians steadily retreating. The rail
way connection between Vienna and the
main army at Oimutz was cut at Lunden
burg on the lHth. Slight engagements
occurred, with results generally in favor of
Prussia. The possession of Moravia had not
been contested. General Benedek has been
displaced from the command of the army,but
remains in command of a corps,for which he
is fitted. Prince Albert takes the chief com
mand.
The Emperor appeals to tjie Hungarians
to show their "hcrditary fidelity" in this ex
tremity, and makes to all his people the am
plest promises that their internal ailiairs
shall all be settled to their satisfaction. It
comes too late.
The naval disaster to the Italians, the I
marches and countermarches in the neigh
borhood of Verona, the skirmishes and oth
er engagements of the Italian army and of
Garibaldi, are too imperfectly known to es
timate their importance.
It is formally denied that the Emperor of
France had any thought of mixing in the
strife, either by armed intervention or oth
er-wise. On tin.* contrary, he has avoided
the concentration of troops on the frontier
near the seat of war, "to avoid the slight
est indication of France being dragged iu
to military activity." So much for the news
mongers, who set the world agog with that
of which they knew nothing.
TERRIFIC GALE AT HAVRE-DE-GRACE. j
11A VIIE-DE-G RACE, July 26, 1800.
A terrible tornado visited this vicinity '
about 0 o'clock last evening. The threat-1
ening masses of clouds, which hung around J
the horizon from north-east to west during '
the afternoon, rapidly concentrated north !
of this point, and at the above-named hour
the storm burst upon us with irresistible
fury, uprooting trees, prostrating bouses j
and doing much other damage.
The magnificent new bridge of the Phil- j
adelphia, VVilminton, and Baltimore Rail- j
road Company, spanning the river at this ■
point, some twenty-five feet above tide-wa- j
ter, encountered the violence of the storm. 1
It trembled for a moment, and then was [
hurled down from its piers into the river
with a terrific crash. Ten spans of the
! bridge, each 250 feet long, the labor of
! months, were rendered a complete wreck,
the river and buy being strewed with its
; debris for miles. Only one span on the
' Cecil side remains.
The loss cannot fall short of $200,000,
and is perhaps much greater.
Several workmen were carried into the
river with the falling spans, but were res
cued.
Without this disaster the company con
fidently expected to have the bridge ready
To-day several tugs are traversing me

ten miles wide.

done at Port Deposit by the storm.
IILISTER CLYMER said in his speech in
loading, on Wednesday, that "his history
as a politician was the history of the State
for the lust six years, and he would uot to
day alter a line or blot out a particle of it."
(Wc quote from the Aye.) We are glad
to notice tli • t lie is so frauk. Let us see
what he did lor the soldiers and sailors on
one or more occasions while he was in the
State Senate. During the session of IS'tq
Senator Graham, of Alleghany, offered a
resolution that tin: SSeuate ot Pennsylvania
uige upon Congress the propriety of in
creasing the pay of officers of the army
and navy twenty-live per cent., and of pri
vates one hundred per cent. On a motion
to proc< cd to a second reading, the Demo
i tats, with their leader, Mr. Clymer, voted
in the negative, thus causing a tie vote,
and the motion was lost. At the same
session a joint resolution was adopted re
<ju<.sting our Jiopresentatives in Congress
to vote for and use their iuflueuce for the

votes nay. Subsequently, when the bill
regulating soldiers' elections was passed,

voting against it. And yet, with this rec
ord, of which he now has the boldness to
suy he would not blot out a particle, he
asks the soldiers and sailors to give him

COUNTERFEIT TEN I)OU.AR NOTES.— For the
benefit of the public we give the following
description of tli new ten dollar counter
feit note on the National Hanks :
• "i!' I "" I re „ o ' on an eagle upon
right end, Franklin and Boy on left. The
signatures are engraved in the counterfeit
and in the genuine, they are written The
lightning, grasped by the hand of Libertv
is barely perceptible in the genuine, while
m the counterfeit it is broadly defined on a
dark, coarse back ground, which in the o-eu
niiie is light. The general appearance is
air hut is very coarse on examination. On
the back of the note the followers of De-
Soto appear as if engaged iri a terrible bat
tle, and appear mixed up, while in the fore
ground, that which is designated for a
priest, bears the exact image of i moukev
these notes may be altered to represent
my National Bank." |
IHE testimony before the Iluuse Com
rmttee on the condition of Utah discloses
the tact that the laws of the United States
are openly and defiantly violated through
out the territory, and that an armed force
is necessary to preserve the peace and
give security to the law t and property of
citizens of th United States residing there.
A ropy ~f a special order issued in 1853
■\ IJKIOIIASI \OUXG was submitted to the
Committee, for the murder of eighty inno
cent men, discharged teamsters of (Jen
JOHNSTON'S command, then at Fort Bridge r
. t: ' rou ' e for California. Fortunately i
the olhcer designated to execute the or
der was a humane person and did not exe- !
cute it.
j liio Pittsburgh Republican states
that at Kisiug bun, lud., on the Ohio River
on the 14th of July, while the sky was per
lectly clear so far as the eye could reach,
| and the sun was shining brightly, a vivid
liasil of lightning appeared, followed by a
long and sharp peal of thunder. The elec
tric lluid struck a church and three dwell
ing-houses. At the same instant a little
boy had his clothing stripped completely
oil his body, not exceptiug his shoes, all of
which had the appearance of living been
cut with a sharp knife. The boy was on
ly stunned and slightly injured in one of
his logs. Another boy in the same vicinity
was also struck at the same time, but was j
more seriously, although not fatally in
jured than the boy who had his clothing
torn on. °

pect of ii year of average fruiti u i.< r
The present indications, as marked by l 'n. i
sands of correspondents of the department,
point to an average of about e:. In ro d
half tenths of an average in quanti y ■ I
wheat, of a quality that will make r. <•)>■ 1
in value to last year's en p. The ti stiim iy
from all quarters renders it certain that the
quality will he excellent. Ihe showing is
more favorable than in the .June report. —
Winter barley is in very nearly the same
condition as the wheat. The o&t crop has
been unusually good, almost beyond pre
cedent.
The condition of the pastures is gener 1- j
ly above the average. V\ ith tiro exe< ptioii i
of Maine and New Hampshire, every State
reports a greater breadth of corn than !
usual.
A somewhat diminished average, of sorg- j
hum is indicated.
There is nearly an average; breadth of
flax.
In every State more potatoes than usual
were planted, which promise better than
usual.
The prospect for apples is not so good as
usual ; aud no fruit upon tin; list makes so
poor a showing as peaches.
