I have jnat carefully read eommnnl
ntioo lifrned "W. Ii. Pewert," end poblifbed
In the hA'rAuai6riand Counfy Democrat" of
the 27th nit.,, which leem to hive heen
railed fortb on eccoool' of ititement of
fact recently communicated, by tne to the
"American," concerning the disloyal. eprp
ion muds by "Judge Turner." And now
fight bere, IpI me my, that the facts conUin
ed In that a-tlcle, (or mine,) were urged to be
publlpried on the ground", that it w a duty
owed to the people of yonr coonty, and
that it vraj a great duly we owed to the
people and oar country to expose treason and
traitort, wherever they may be found!
I notice the "Democrat'" correspondent
makea some sweeping statements, after dom
ing np the whole matter, an be thought, he
triumphantly remarks), "thi whole thing
ended as I ".opposed, a manufacture out of
the whole clot))," shortly after which be, as I
supposed, of having crushed at one monster
blow, into oblivion, your correspondent
' Kappa" and the facts by him communicated.
Indomitable Sampson 1 but is there not a
resurectioo after death T yea verily, for bere
Kappa is soated at bis desk opsin, penning
down tbis communication, and it he or Judge
Turner, or the editor of the Democrat, has
aoy doubts about the existence of such a
person whose real name is Bigned to this
article, let them call at the school house, at
the southern verge of of our village, where
they will find him Gvb days each week, from
9 o'clock A. M. till 4 P. M , and the bul
noce of the time at bis residence, near Lloyd's
Store:
Now gentlemen, I will simply say that yoor
charges concerning the communication In
question, aro base, unfounded and ungentle
toaoly. I wrote the article published in the
"American" of the 21st issue, sigDed "Kap
pa." 1 communicated the facts just as 1 re
ceived them from parties wbo heard them ex
pressed by the Judge. Another reason why
1 should communicate the facta was, tbat, 1
resided sometime in Columbia connty, in
which time I became personally acquainted
with Rkubkn Lahimi, wbo was cue of tbe
mec tbat left 11 e Judge's boose, on account
of bis treasonable expressions, out really
Mr. Editor, is there not something peculiar
about tbe career pursued by those men who
employed to watch the Judge's character?
Why were those certificates obtained before
anything was published concerning bis dis
loyalty f Why such a fluttering after the
publication of the article in the "American?"
Does it not seem that the publicity of these
statements was anticipated? Does it not
look as if those treasonable expressions were
intended to have been covered up by giving
lifty cents sad a bag of wheat ? If not, why
come and demaod certificates for tbe donation
of tbe wheat and money before anything was
said to the contrary ? Oh, consistency I Thou
art a jewel 1 1 now repeat again thut tbe
statement made, by tbe Columbia county men,
of the Judge's treasonable expressions, is en'
tilled to full credit, as the men stand high for
truth aod veracity, and their affidavits would
accompany this article if tbe time bad per'
mitted, since tbe great outpouring of tho
"Northumberland County Dumoctai" and its
contribntor.
Tbe accompanying certificates Fpeak for
themselves, coainienl is unnecessary.

save to utter once, "O. my God !' Tbe next day
bis body was sent to tile rebel camp, under a flag

id town should have at least two or three
vines, and every farmer a dozen. Tbe Isabel
la is tbe standard and leading grape, and will
always be cultivated, though there are new
varieties tbat are deemed superior in some re'
epects. Among these, tbe Concord is per
haps tbe most desirable, as it is exceedingly
hardy, and in some localities earlier. Tbe
Catawba is a superior grape, but is rather
late, and does not ripen well in this latitude
unless in favorable locations. Tbe Diana,
seedling from tbe Catawba, is several weeks
earlier, and therefore to be preferred ; indeed
some of tbe grape culturists place it at tbe
head of the list. Jt is somewhat smaller lba
the Catawba, aod, like that, perfectly round,
and or a light red color.' Tbe Delaware is
finely Suvered, but entirely too small.
It is, however, a singular fact, that io this
place Isabellus, very fine in size and flavor
ripened as eurly as tbe 10th of September'
and rather io advance of the Concord and
Diana. There is perhaps, no better locality
for grapes than this pluce and vicinity. We

Union meeting at Sunbury on Saturday, if be
bad known a Democratic ticket had been
formed, and that be would vote tbe party
ticket. Mr. Joseph Bird, who had beard
Col. Wright's speech, immediately called at
the hotel to see Mr. Brown, and exposed the
contemptible story, which bore the impress
of falsehood on its very face. Mr. Bird told
Mr. Brown tbat Col. Wtighl advocated tbe
Union ticket, and denouoced their party

Those who had supposed that Major
Dswart was politically dead and bnrled, wiU
ba surprised to find tbat bale not yal entirely
defunct, bat make an occasional gasp after
notoriety. When we dissected the corpus f
this political rbarlatao,' several ? ,ince'
aod wbi n hii requiem w- -,D8 b7 bI hi
political i-- wnile tbey danced around
th grave which bnried bis aspirations aod
his hopes', we supposed that he would have
been content to remain where fate and his
own follies had consigned him. But since be
Is determined to figure again in print, we
shall bo obliged to gratify his aspirations by
properly noticing big efforts. Tbe Major
has very properly selected the ' While Fea
ther" organ of tbe Breckinridge clique for his
last efforts, under the following caption :
"A Malicious Lie against Judge Turner
Nailed." Tbat tBe Major should engage in
aucb a vocation as tbe nailing of lies, may
eeem strange to those who Bre aware of the
" constitutional Infirmity" of bis nature, wbicb
from infancy bas induced him to look upon
virtue and veracity as conventional forms of
society, entirely too stringent for gentlemen,
like himself, of unbridled appetites and
untrauimeled proportions. But the Major
professes to be a man of taste in its broadest
sense, and has given undoubted evideoce of
bis fondness for variety io politics as well as
iu morals and gastronomy. His voting in
Congress for aod against "Lecotnpton," aud
6uully when be voted for that wicked tnea.'
sure, after declaring -he would sooner lose
his right arm than do so, is an exemplification
of his talents in that line, though nothing
more thao we predicted. Wbeo he sudden
ly became converted to tbe doctrines of Judge
Douglas, we felt satisfied that be was out of
place and tbe alacrity witb wbicb he returned
to his Breckinridge associates, after tbe death
of tbat talented statesman, was perfectly in
character, and therefore Dot surprising. But
to the facts of tbe'easo.
Tbe Major called on ns, as he says, when
we were conversing with Shenu Waldron.
and politely, though somewhat pompously,
demanded tbe name of the author of "Kan-
pa," pointing to the paragraph which author
ised us to give it ' wbeo demanded on tbe
part of Judge Turner." We remarked that
be was not Judge Turner. lie said that par
graph authorised bim to demand the name,
We denied his right to do so, and said we had
on idea that we understood the Knelish lan
guage quite as well as be did, and remarked
we were ready at any time, to give tbe name
to J odge Turner when proporly requested but
did Dot recognise any right on bts part, to
make eucb a demand more than COO others,
lie then pompously made another formal de.
mand for the Dame. We then remarked we
wonld not hesitate to give the name to Sher
iff Waldron, if be desired it, but we must po
litely inform him (the Major) tbat "it was a
piece of impudence on his part to persist in
such a demund. "Instead of tbis being mum.
bled" it was so loud and emphatic, that it wa
distinctly beard by Sheriff Waldron, Peter
Oberdorf and all others present.
The above stated facts we read to Sheriff
Waldron before they were in type, and he
authorises us to say tbey are strictly correct-
Tbe idea I bat ''Mr. Mauser was much coo
fused aud alarmed at bis sudden detection" is
about as important a discovery as any one
mightexpect from tbe M ajor, whose statements
are generally as marvellous as tbey are absurd.
We could have no motive whatever in with
holding Mr. Wm. Waltman's came, whose
communication came to us endorsed by one
of tbe most respectable citizens io Muncy,
and wbo, by letter, authorised us to give the
name if demanded hy Judge Turner. So far
from the Judge believing it a "trumped op
Damn." he said be knew Daniel Waltman and
thought he knew William also. Iflhn Jndge
will enquire at Muncy, he will find all the in
formation be desires, and more than will be
agreeable.
THE UMUN MfeETIMQ.
The union Meeting on Saturday last wag
well attended, though cot as largely from the
country as it would bave been, bad not tbe
severe storm of Friday night kept onr
furmera at borne to repair the fences and
other damages occasioned thereby.
Tbe speech of Hon. Ileodrick B. Wright,
member of Congress from Luzerne county ,
was most eloquent and patriotic. lie told
hia bearers tbat be bad always been a demo
crat, and should live and die one, but tbat a
man who did not lay aside party issues, at
aucb a time as tbis, was neither a patriot or
a true Democrat, and was doiug the cause as
much injury as au opco enemy to tbe gov
ernment. The Breckinridge leaders exhibi
ted the calibre nf their patriotism and brains,
by trying to persuade some of tbefr meo not
to listen to a distinguished Democrat, whom
tbey eulogised bo highly last fall, because be
was now in favor of a Union ticket, and
denounced all party measures as treasonable
to tbe country. Tbe speech was received
witb continaeJ rounds of applause and many
stout hearts were brought to tears.
Col. Wright was elected to Congress last
June by the Union party, and remarked tbat
be bad twice as much majority as his Breck
inridge opponent had votes.
Judge Muynurd was loudly called for, but
declined making a speech, as a matter of
delicacy, but said be adopted Col. Wrigbts
speech as bis own.
.
C3T Princihi.ks. Purdy, the crzy bair
broiued editor of the "White Feather Demo
crat, talks about principles. What principles
does he, or tbe crew whose dirty work be 1
hired to perform, represent ? None in the
world, but tbe "seven principle.," wbicb John
Randolph defined to be the "five loaves and
two fishes." What man amoog them is not
now, aod has Dot beeo, intriguing for office ?
Principles indeed ! Wbat a burlesque on
common sense for these fellows to talk about
principles.
Purdy, of the Deviocrat, ask why the
Youngmans, who are bachelors, don't them
selves go to tbe war which be has been
secretly opposing. Why don't tbe miserable
caitiff go himself? There is no one wbo
could be so easily spared aod would be to
little missed. We wilt guarantee that this
eommooily and that of Lewis burg, his former
residence, would vote almost unanimously io
favor of bi removal, as readily as for tbe
removal of toy tbr noisioee.

' Ex- Postmaster We have overebot the
mark la nominating such a man as Cum
mings. Dr. Masser is a good officer, speaks
the German language, is obliging, and is fairly
entitled to another term. Beckley's opposi
tion was all wrong, and bis story about tbe
Doctor's opposition to bim wont take, nor
that about bis clerks, and don't look well in
Beckley, whose former clerk opposed and
voted against Dr. Masser, aod whose present

Counsellor 11. It is certainly unfortunate
tbat we should have Bo many meo on our
ticket whose loyalty is not above suspicion,
and then bave them all in the upper end, and
all Breckinridge men, perhaps, one only
excepted. To take two out ol Cbilisquaque,
Cammings sod his uncle lrwio, is a little too
much.
Sam Patch, Jr. Well, we have the party
organization in our hands, and we would be
great fools not to nominate our own friends.
Doctor. 1 don't think Brown's nomination
is anything to brag of, either. Tbey bave
got bold of a matter that will be as bad as
the leather business was on some of us two
years ago. They say that the new streets
opened io Milton will cost at least $.)000, and
as the county had lo pay already $101)0
damages to extend one of these streets, that
it might be necessary to have some legislation
to fasten this also on the county, aod that
NoFey Bright would not do for that purpose.
Jesse. Out, don't you see, Browo will get
some Republican votes on this very account
in Milton. As for Sheriff Waldroo's opposi

Browo said in this place, just before tbe
nominations, that Cummings could not be
believed or relied on for uny promise be made,
and ordered bim out of bis office on account
of his dishonorable conduct ?
Doctor. I believe Brown, the darned fool,
did tell some of Dr. Maker's friends. He
ought to have kept thut to himself until after
tbe election.
Jtsse. 1 toll you this Sheriff businees is
kicking up a fuss 1 told you it wouldn't
do to promise the next Sheriff to so many.
Here is no less than six persons who we bave

Doctor. V ell, I tnouglit when Mart was

Purdv aod some of bis crew were Dot io the
Court House when Col. Wright drew the
picture of certain characters wbo now sbout
loudly for tbe Union, but wbo are, by their
sneaking inundoes and silent treachery, doing
more barm to the country than tbe rebel
and traitor South, Purdy could have bung
up that picture io bis owu chamber, as a
perfect likeness of himself.
tjr We told Purdy, last week, we could
stand bis falsifying, bis bad grammar, and
worae logic, but bi bad spelling was dis
graceful lo one who professes to be ao editor,
aod who has . rubbed his back against the
outside wills of a University. To spell

ley's excurt that Dr. Masser opposed him, is
a new discovery, and one of those conrenieot
excuses tbat ant thao cao always get up
whenever It Is necessary to cover np something
he is ashamed of- Doting Mr. Beckley's
electioneering campaign, the whole burthen of
bis song was two terms and nothing else.
Beckley bad repeatedly said that be must go
for Dr. Masser on the principle of two terms)
aod it is only of late, since the toils of the
Breckinridge clique bave been thrown around
bim, that be bas got op this miserable ex
cuee that Dr. Masser had opposed him. Mr'
Beckley very modestly says tbat Dr. Masser
forfeited bie right to a second nomination by
the party because one of bis clerks opposed
Mr. Beckley's election. Mr. Beckley must
think tbat he is tbe Democratic party. If
this lust charge even were true, which it is
not, it would be a miserable excuse,
Tbe following statement of Mr. Braner must
satisfy every one that there is nothing to jus
tify Mr. Beckley's position :
TO THE PUBLIC,
Being requested by Dr. Masser to state
my knowledge of bis position in tbe Protbon
otary question last fall, I would state that I
know he supported Mr. Beckley on the ground
of the two term principle, I being a candidate
ae iii net Mr. Beckley at the timo. Dr.
Masser took the position, that as he intended
himself to ask for a second second term, it
was his policy and interest to support Mr.
Beckley for a second term.

CJT Troth. An old adage says that "truth
lies at the bottom of the well." This is.
perhaps, tbe reason why Purdy, the editor of
the bastard ' Democrat, located in tbe third
story, so seldom gets at it. Perhaps no other
wbite mao would have deliberately uttered a
falsehood bo malignant io design aud so
Btupid in character as tbe following, io his
lust paper :

Does this man, or rather this miserable
apology for a man, suppose that his readers
are fools, aod that tbey are not capable of

That we should call Douglas Democrats
secessionists, and tons call ourself one, is
what no one but a fool would believe. There
are many, however, who believe that Purdy's
affinities are so nearly like one, that nothing
but climate is wanting to bring him out full
fledged. Perhaps hot house culture, even
in Ibis lalita.le, might develop tbe plant bo
as to be acceptable even to Jeff Davis him
self. ts7 How to 11 avb Good Cidkr. Pro es
sor Uornsford, of Harvard University, has re.
cently published a recipe for improving and
preserving cider, by means of wbicb tbe pro
gress of the vinous end acetic fermentations
may be arrested at pleasure aod the cider
preserved in such a state as may be desired.
We may add that less sugar and less sul
phite of lime will auswer if the cider is a good,
clear article, and made, as it should be, of
clear, sound apples. We prepared excellent
Cider last November without sugar, using only
about bait tbe quantity of tbe sulphite of
lime, which neutralize the acid, and will make
the cider flat if more tbau the requisite quan
tity is used.
Put the new cider io clean casks or barrels,
aud ullow it to ferment from one to three
weeks, according as tbe weather is cool or
wirm. When it has attained to a lively fer
mentation, add to each gallon three-fourths of
a pound of white sugar, and let the whole fer
ment again until it possesses nearly the brisk,
pleasant taste which it is desirable should be
peimunent. Pour out a quarter of ao ounce
of sulphite of lime for every gallon the cask
ion' a ns. Stir nut. I it ib intimutely mixed, and
pour the emulsion into the liquid. Agitate
ti e contents of the cask thoroughly for a few
miouies, and then let it rest that the cider
may settle.. Fermentation will be arrested at
once, and will rot be resumed. It may be
bottled in the course of a few weeks, or it
may be allowed to remain in the cask and
used on draught. If bottled it will become a
tpiikling cider, better tbao what is called
champagne wine.
Prof. Uornsford, of Cambridge, was the
first to use tbe sulphite of lime for this pur.
pose, aud to him is due tbe credit of calling
attention to its usefulness. Jt is io no respect
deleterious, me suipourous acid is entirely in
soluble and remains at tbe bottom of the vessel.
Tha writer has cider prepared io this way
two years since, which has remained un
changed, and is now a beverage of unsurpassed
evcelleuce. The mlphite of lime, oot the sul
jihutes, must b used.

invite the attention of our readers to the
advertisement of Messrs. JOANS it CROS

The numerous experiments made for the
last Tew years, to produce a substitute for tin,
slate and shingle roofs, have nt last led to a
perfect triumph in the Gutta Pkri-iia Cement
Roofing offered by these gentlemen.
Possessing in a great degree, tho features
ot elasticity, (which is a qualification ore
Cement Hoofing actually necessary and long
aftr-r.) durability and cheapness, combined
witb tbe fact that it is weather and fire proof,
its genera! adoption cannot be too earnestly
urged. Their Gutta Percba Cement for
coating and repairing Metal Roofs of all
kinds and for preserving all metals from rust
and corrosion from its great durability and
cheapness, is fast superceding points of every
description beretorors used for such purposes
These materials (for which the First Pre
miuin8 have beeo awarded hy the American
Institute and many of tbe principal State
Fairs throughout tbe country.) are recemmed

Tim Wonders or the MiCRoacorR. We
understand it is through tbe agency of this
marvel viewing machine that Dr. Ayer bas at
length succeeded In bnding tbe PaM-HaI, mi
asm and determining it character. Of its ef
fects we in tbis section bave abundant evidence
in the Fevkr and Aot k which it alone produ
ces when absorbed through the lungs into the
blood. It has long been held to be a vapor
or eometniug iu tbe VBpor of water from tie
cayeo and decaying vegetation. Under
great magnifying power, the Doctor has found
this vapor to contain distinct organizations or
living bodies, corresponding exactly with
those found in the blood of Ague subjects.
Tbey are 13.000 times less tban visible to the
naked eye, but bave distiuct character and
form. He thinks they are reproductive in
decaying matter or in the blood, and heuce
their long coutinued life or the remote effects
of them in the system. He maintains tbat
tbey resemble in character the other fermeo
tative poisons, or such as the virus or rabies
of a dead body, Ac, all of which are known tn
reproduce themselves witb great rapidity like
yeast in moistened flour, so tbat tbe slightest
quantity impregnates tbe whole mass. Yeast
through a powerful magnifier is seen to be a
forest of vegetation wbicb grows, blossoms,
end goes tn seed io a short time. Miasm is
not so distinctly vegetable, hot has more of the
appearance of animal life, although ii motions
cannot be perfectly distinguished. What tbe
Doctor claim to have settled is that it is an
organic substance, and he bas further found
and embodied in hia "Ague Core" wbat will
destroy it. Leader, St. Louis, Mo.
