PACKER, Esq., of Sunbury, (Subject to deoialon of Conferee Convention.) FOR HERIKF, SAMUEL H. BOTHERMEL, of Zerbe. FOR FROTnONOTARY, CHARLES 3. BRUNER, of Sunbury. THE UNION REPUBLICAN TICKET. Tbo delegates of tbo Union Republican Count; Convention assembled at tbe Court House, in tbis place, on Monday Inst, tbe proceedings of wbich will be found in an otber column. Tbe Convcution embodied many of tbe best and most intelligent men in tbe county, and the proceedings were of tbe most harmonious character. Tbe Cou vention did cot deem it advisable to nomi uate a full county ticket. John B. Packer, Esq., was declared the nominee for Congress, by resolution, without a dissenting voice and his nomination nnd election urged upon tho other counties of the district. Without intending to disparage tho claims or qunli fixations of any otber candidate, we can honestly say that it is admitted by all, with scarcely on exception, that ais nomination was tbo best and fittest that could be made, and that be combines more of tbe clement of strength and success than any other can didate in tho district. Should Mr. Packer receive the district nomination, bis election would be almost certain. The contest for Sheriff was somewhat exciting between three strong aud prominent candidates, Messrs. Rotbcrmel, Gehringcrand Biscl. Mr. Roth crmel was nominated on tbe 3d ballot, and as he is highly popular in the lower town ships, where be is bcBt known, his chances of success arc deemed quite probable. Mr. Rotlicrmcl is a worthy man of excellent character, and would make an efficient of. Cccr. For Prothonotary, the contest was a close one between Chas. J. Limner and Lloyd T Rohrbach, Esqrs. They 'arc both lawyers and both well qualified for the office, which, in the opinion of many, should be filled only by ono who lias a legal education. Mr, Bruncr, the nominee is well known iu tbis county. He also served as an officer in the army, and if merit and qualifications are, as they should be, tho test for this impor taut office, bis election should be looked upon as certain. "Can tbe "Hon." II. B. Masser, Esq., Edi tor and proprietor ol the American, pub lished in the Borough of Sunbury, Nortbum bcrland county, Pennsylvania, etc. etc., tell its readers why the Hon. Horace Greeley, of the New xork Jnbune, was so anxious to go Jefferson Davis' bail ?" Northumberland Vounty Democrat. I5?Wo beg our neighbor not to add the prefix "Hon." to our name. Tho title was ut one time, supposed to be one of distinc tion, but now it is frequently conferred, evon upon members of the Legislature, especial' ly by tbo journals of the new fangled Dc mocracy. It is true, we were once an un successful candidate for that office, but that ought not to put us on a level with those I who, liko our neighbor, have been in tbe ring, and while they reaped the profits, are generally disposed to give to tbeir neighbors such empty, if not doubtful honors. But to answer the question. We can only say that we don't know what motive Horace can have, in releasing Jeff. Davis, unless it is to put the Democratic party in the posi tion of the man who bought the elcphunt acd then did not know what to do with him. Horaco is a long-headed politician and evi dently thinks if Jeff. Davis is let loose, among the democracy, he will be a danger ous rival candidate for tbe Presidency, aud they, will liavo as much trouble in disposing of him as tbe man had to get rid of the ele phant. . - EPTbe defeat of tbo Tariff bill iu Con gress, by postponing it until next session, is a matter of regret to every true friend of tho country. Unfortunately the Southern ele ments are again at work, and politicians have too little patriotism to sacrifice self for the public good, and to gratify c!auioroug partisans refuse to sanction measures abso. lutcly necessary for the indnstrial prosperity ol the country. There is, however, some hope that a revised bill will yet be passed, IMfWe publish this week a letter from the editor, dated at Long Branch, which canie too late for last week's issue. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Continental Hotel, Long Branch, N. J., I , July Btn, iouu. ) Having bad few days of leisure, during tbe sweltering hot weather of last week, I concluded to take a trip, is company with some friends, to Cape May, but as we had never been at Long Branch, now in many respects, the greatest, and among the most fashionable resorts for sea-bathing in tbis country, we loft Philadelphia on Saturday morning at 0 A. M. for this place. I From Camden we proceeded abeut 20 miles on the road leading to Atlantio City, where we intersected the Raritan and Dela ware Bay Road, which now opens an indi rect route to New York, at 2, or $1 less than over tho Amboy or Trenton route. From tbe Atlantic Junction to Long Branch the distanco is about 60 miles, mostly through the barren pine lands of the New Jersey coast but as you approach within ten or fifteen miles of Long Branch you find better soil and a higher state of cultivation, while around, and iu the neighborhood of that place, they boast of farms equal to any in New Jersey. After an exceedingly dusty ride, of over four hours, we reached a point within 0 miles of Monmouth, from which point a branch road of five miles took us to Long Branch, whilst passengers to New York take steamers from Monmouth to that city. Lone Branch is tho watering place of New York, and as it is only two hours travel from that city, it is fast becoming the creutest watering place in America. For a space of two miles along the coast there is a scries of hotels aud handsomely constructed cottages, fronting on the ocean. These ho. tcls are mostly white frame three story buildings, from two to four hundred feet in length, but within a year past several new hotels have been erected tbo "Continental' and tbe "Stetson House''. The former has a frontage of over seven hundred feet, on the ocean, with Piazzas the entiro length from every floor. Tbo dining room is 200 by 75 feet aud 20 feet in height. Tbe hotel con tains 600 rooms, aud is intended to accomo date 1200 persons. The fare is not so bad but that it might be worse, excepting the bread and butter, which was inexcusable, in a country of luxuriant crops and abundant vegetation. The Stetson House is designed to be the aristocratic house. But it is difficult to scpa. rate Shoddy from Chivalry, and iu many respects there is cot much real difference, and, liko extremes, they will sometimes meet. The codfish aristocracy, as the New York Herald calls them, are said to be found wherever fashion and money makes a dis play, and Long Branch is not without them. Extravagance in dress without neatness, is one of the evidences, and I noticed several displays of this character in the ball room and promenade, iu persons whose pedigree was not unknown. One of the luxuries for which visitors pay $4,00 per day is tbe music of a German Band from Now York. Tbcy perform in the forenoon, afternoon and evening. At night dancing and waltzing in the parlor is always in order, and the music of the Band is such as to inspire all who are fond of this amusement. This Band of 12 performers, I was told, received a sulary of six hundred dollars per week. Tbe bathing grounds are not equal to Cupe May, but the drives, high-ground and scenery, is vastly superior to any watering place in the Union. Sea bathing is a great levcler of social distinctions, and has a won derful effect in neutralizing native and af. fected pride as well as modesty. Barefoot ed young ladies kick up their heels with as much freedom as a young colt in a field ol clover, and an exhibition of their uncovered feet and ankles, causes no extraordinary rush of blood into the cheeks of modest youth or maturcr age. There is no denying, bow. ever, that art is the hand-maid of nature, and that a pretty pair of feet and ankles encased in clean whito stockings and well fitting gaiters, are vastly more attractive and interesting than the bare ankles of a beauty in tbe surf. "For one I do not doubt the result.

Scuvvler Colfax, of Ind., Speaker of Congress, having been renomina ted for Congress by his district, without oppositioc, sent a letter to the Convention, from which we extract the following : "It has been well said, in language as terse as it is true, that tbo power to carry on war for National existence carries with it the power to prescribe the terms of peace. The duty of guarding the laud against the danger ot a second rebellion is as imperative as its preservation from the first. And nothing seems clearer than that the same authority wbich prevented 11 states from destroying tbe Union has a right as indis putable as the right of self-defense to regu late the resumption of the relations of those States. "When the rebel armies surrendered, the President decided, and rightly, that civil government had been destroyed in each of the rebel btates, and lio otticiully proclaimed that fact in his commissions to Provisional Governors thereof. Tbe Congressional policy starts from the same initial point. The President declared that essentiul conditions, involving great changes, must be complied with by those States before they could re sume lueir forfeited riguts. And so does Congress. The President required the ratifi cation of an important Constitutional amend ment, wuicb bad been submitted by a Con gress representing the loyal States, and in wmcu mo rebel btates had no voice. Acd Congress makes a similar demand to-day. If the President could rightfully require their ratification of one amendment, chang ing their whole system of labor, and de stroying what they regarded as vested rights property, proposed Dy a L'onuress in of which they were unrepresented, and in run flict, as it was, with their life-Ions nrciu dices, why cannot tbe Congress elected as the law-mamng power ot tbe countrv. bv the same voters as himself, require tho ratification of knottier amendment, preventing the rebel Btates trom wielding incieased power in Con cress hereafter. becaimn nf tlm which, against their desires, bad lifted their slaves into tue tun stature of Freemen I "luat this amendment is in accordance with tbe wishes ot the loval millions who won tho brilliant political victorv of lRfl. Is proven by tbe unanimity with which it was supported in tbe House of Representa tives. Every man elected as a Union mem ber, whether from the North or ihe South, from the East or the West, gave it hi vote ; not barely tbe two-thirds required by tbe Constitution, but nearly four-filth. On thia amendment, aa a security for the future, the Union party of tbe nation have planted wwith, mua i anau stand wttn them most cordially, vindicating its justice, wis dom and necessity, and willing on it to that the Republio suffers no evil, ? be fore the bitter foes of yesterday 7"1,m'"af to the inner sanctuary of the nation fe Ought they not to guard the halls of nation at legislation from being trodden by the ?eet o8f those who have been murdering the defenders of the Union for fide ity to an a.- leelance they tbemseivei w.cv.., dmtedl Every newspaper in the land, North or ooutn, wuiuh tsuiujju.cu iiiicisi,u n..i nnd vilified Abraham Lincoln, now denounces Congress in the severest terms. Every nnrepentent rebel and unscrupulous sympathizer joins them in their revilings. But! rejoico that it has been so faithful, so inflexible, in what it has regarded as the pathway ot Duty and of liislit. And it now remains for the people, by their indorse ment or rejection of its proposed ConstitU' tional cuurrantv. to approve or to condemn those who present it as an tnaispcnsioie pre requisite to tho restoration of tho forfeited rinhts and the political power our enemies made sucu hot naste to resign anti anjure at the opening of the Rebellion. "Nor are these terms oppressive or unjust. Never has a nation whose existence has been imperiled, and whose hundreds of thousands of graves and thousands of millions of debt attest its eicantic sacrifices. ' offered more lenient conditions to those who conspired for its destruction. Have we forgotten the insulting defiance with which their members, sworn like ourselves to the Constitution and the Union, left their seats here the persecu tions, conscriptions, tyrrony, expulsions and hangingB by the rebel authorities of all who refused to forswear, like themselves, their al legiance to their country and their flog the Willi u I torture and starvation or scores oi thousands of our soldiers when prisoners in their hands their unyielding persistency in the paricidal conflict till armed rebellion expired, not from change of will but from fiovcrty ot resource and the heroism ot tue oyal boys in blue the continued existence of this hostile tccling as evidenced in their political ond social proscription of every Southerner wno tougnt tor uis country, mo disloyal utterances of their press and pulpit, and the election in every rebel State of Gov ernors who had served or fought for the Re bellion? Despite all this, Congress only asks that representation, North aud South, shall he hnscd on those elimblo to vmi ticina- tion in political power; that the civil rights of all persons, native born or naturalized, shall be maintained ; tbe National debt and the Pension list preserved inviolate ; the rebel debt repudiated ; aud cxpulsiou from office of those who having once taken and broken an oath of nudity to the nation not be trusted in the faithful fulfilment here after of another similar obligation. "Contrast this with the course of our fa thers towards thoso who, during the Revolu tionary War, refused to fight for the inde pendence of the Colonies. The Tories of that day insisted that their allegiance and loyalty were due to the King, and that they should not be compelled to transfer them. Hut the stern patnots who toucded our uov ernmcnt would tolerate no such argument. Determined to create a pure national senti ment, they made Toryism odious in every possible way. They admitted none of them to scats in the Congress of the nation against which they had warred. They allowed no floral processions to the grave of the Tory dead, nor the use of such pretexts for trea sonable speeches of eulogy on their lost cause. They suffered no tory papers to ex ist and scatter their malignant poison over the land. They disfranchised aud expatria ted them. Such was the Reconstruction policy of our futhers. "Strongly in contrast with this as is the Reconstruction policy of Congress, so mild nnd forgiving of the blackest of crimes, not for revenge but for defense, not for punish ment but for justice, our Democratic oppo nents have arrayed themselves against it, nnd the people to decide the issue. If you would take on board as a screw to work your ship those who had just been striving to scuttle and destroy it, then it might bo believed tbat tho American people would throw open the doors of their Congress and intrust appropriations for pensions and the public debt, and legislation for all matters of national concern, to thoso who sought to whelm tbe nation in a common ruin, and who, if they had the power to-day, would shatter the Republic and rebuild their Con- leaeracy." Itrui g nat Ion of Mr. Speed. Washington, July 16 Attoroey-ucncrat fenced, - this morning, sent his resignation in writing to the Presi dent. It bus been prepared since last Tliurs- day, but at the request of the President he withheld it until to-day.

Mr. Speed will return at once to his home in Kentucky. Mr. Speed's Successor. It is probable that Henry G. Stansburs. of Kentucky, will be nominated to succeed Mr, Speed. Wm. B. Reed, of Pennsylvania, is mentioned, but no one from Pennsylvania will be taken at present, unless it should bo senator Cowan. Tins Attorney-General's Letter ok Resignation. Tho follwing is a copy of the letter of resignation of Mr. Speed, as sent in at noon to-day. He had written a longer letter: "Attorney-General's Office, Wash ington, D. C, July 16, I860. To tho Prcsi dent Sir : I hereby resign to you the oflice ot Attorney-Uencial of tbe United States. Bo good enough, sir, to accept my thanks for the kindness, consideration and confi dence you have ever shown to me. "I have the honor to be, most respectfully, (Signed) James Speed." Another Resignation. Hon. Frcedman Clark to-day sent bis re signation, as Comptroller of tbe Currency, to tbe President, tie was unwilling to be considered as holding office under tho pre sent Administration and be supposed to in dorse its policy aud management. Adjournment op Conoress. Whenever Congress agrees to adjourn upon a fixed day, it is in order at any time for ten days from that day to suspend the rules by a two-third vote, and thus get in any bills or resolutions out of their regular order. To avoid this, it is probable that no time will bo agreed upon tor several days, and it is most likely that Congress will not get away from here before the 80th. Origin or tub Portland Fire.

FROM ECnOPE, Nkw Yorx, July 15. The Prussians in Bohemia are making victories. Giticbln was taken bv storm. The Prussian loss was considerable that of the Austrians was 4,000. It la announced tbnt the total Austrian loss np to the present is 80,000 to 40,000 men. In consequence of tbe successful storming of Gitschin tbe junc tion of the Prussian armies, under the crown prince and Prince Charles, was completely cllected. uuscuin was mucu damaged. Austrian prisoners continue to arrive. The Austrian Ilanover, Ramming and Martine regiments were wholly annihilated, and the 18th Jaecr battalion annihilated to tue iass man. The 1st Austrian army corps and the Saxon army had- joined the chief Austrian army, and are ready for action. A Vienna telegram of the firs); states that the 1st corps of the Saxon army was re pulsed by tbe Prussians on the previous day, in consequence of which the Austrian army fell back in the direction of Konigratz. A Prague dispatch of June 80th reports engagements on tho 29th, near Furnau and near Kalitz, resulting favorably to the Aus trians, and gives the names of several places evacuated by the Prussians. The latter were also defeated while flying from Flicin, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. These engagements are probably the same as before reported. A dispatch from Berlin of the 6th instant gives an otticial dispatch trom toe headquar ters ot tbe Crown I'nncc, saying "ine result of three days' nghting. in which tbe otb Prussian corps bas been engaged, cannot be too highly esteemed. Un tbe 87th it was oppose by tbe 6th Aus trian corps, under General Ramming. A letter was found addressed by the latter to Gen. Bcnedek, in Josephstadt, which offered complete proof that the forces under his command were thoroughly exhausted. He therein requested General licnedek to send him two fresh brigades, in order that his troops might bivouack under their protec tion, and acknowledged that they would not be able to fight on the following day. The 5th Prussian corps was, therefore, opposed on the 28th and 29th by the corps of the Archduke Leopold and General Testetics. The fighting on these two days extended over a much greater line than on the 27th. The Austrian corps under Gablenz was com pletely broken up, besides loosing iunumeia ble prisoners. Twenty guns, five colors, and two standards, belonging to the corps of Gablenz, fell into the bands of tho Prus sians. A great number of workmen had left Acre for Dresden to erect intrenchmcnts. . The Austrians have evacuated Oswcic- sin. The king of Prussia arrived at Relchcn- berg, and was enthusiastically cheered on leaving Berlin. A Berlin telegram of July 2d ssvs, not withstanding the recent sanguinary fighting the Frtissian army is in excellent spirits. Another dispatch announces the arrival of tho King at Gitschen, where ho was received by Prince Frederick Charles. The streets everywhere showed traces of an obstinate engagement. The enemy fled in disorder under cover of the night. The conduct of tho Prussian troops was excellent, ihe corps of guards repeatedly repulsed charges of cavalry without forming a squure. The headquarters of Prince Frederick Charles have been removed beyond Gitschen. The unction ol the first and second army corps was completely effected. The number of Austrian prisoners clready taken exceeds 0,000. An Italian regiment, forming part of tbe contingent ot Austria to strengthen the 8tb federal army corps, bad arrived at Frank fort. Gitschin telegrams of July 8d, state that the Vienna telegram of June 28tu, auuounc ing the loss of eighteen guns by the Prus siaus, is officially denied. The Prussians have not lost a singlo gun, but hove captur ed twenty-four Austrian guns and eight flags. On the evening of June 30th, a Prus sian brigade surprised an Austrian brigade, and captured a flag and 250 prisoners. The King leit on July Ud tor the outposts ot his army under the Crown Prince. Tbe Duke of Coburg bad arrived at Gitschin. A Berlin ottlciul telegram of July 3d states that Gen. Bcnedek found himself compelled, in consequence of tbe dissolution of the corps of General Gablenz and tho retreat of tho Austrian and Saxon troops, to abandon the operations he had commenced near Gits chin and conccntrute the army at a more distant point. A Gitschin telegram of July 2d says that the Prussians have captured 15,000 Austrian prisoners since tbe 20th of June, and that 20,000 Austrians have been killed and wounded. Sovcral batallions were complete ly annihilated. The Saxon corps, the Kalik brigade, the Client Gallas corps, und tbe Gablenz corps are completely broken up, and for the present not in a condition to nght. 1 be Austrian army has retired to a strong position between Josephstadt and Konigratz, and according to the statements of somo captured officers tbe soldiers are discouraged and the army in a state of dis solution. Desertion is increasing in tbe Italian army. The retreat of tho Austrians was .Try pre cipitate. A Trauteoau dispatch of tho 3d says the Austrians appear to imeud to re main on the defensive between Josephstadt and Konigratz. The London Timet of July 4th ssys: Horrible as the carnage has been, it must be looked upon as a mere prelude to tbe pitch ed battle now unavoidably be engaged on either side." About 4,000 men of a Federal army corps had occupied Wetzlar, levied a contribution on the inhabitants, and left in the direction of Geissen. The Latest News The Africa bas arrived, with Liverpool dates of July 8, via Queenstown. The latest report states that Prussia and Italy have accepted tbe proposal for an ar mistice. The Prussians, however, bad ad vanced further into Bohemia. Heavy cannonading had been heard in the afternoon of the 7th, in the direction of Koo niggratz. It was supposed the Prussians were attacking the fortress. The steamship Palmyra, from New York, arrivod at Liverpool on the 8th. The Paris Tempt announces that Prussia and Italy have accepted the armistice on the following conditions : "The Prussians to re tain their present position ; the troops to be supported by tbe countries occupied; Austria to increase her armies in tbe field ; Italy to occupy one fortress in the Puadriluteral. Italy, in reply, demands tbe occupation 6T fortress in tho Quadrilateral. A Vienna telegram sayi there is a good prospect of an armistice tor six weeks. Hostilities have not been resumed. Tbe Austrian army of tbe North continue to re treat without molestation. Tbe Prussians have advanced further into Bohemia. Tbe King of Prussia has ordered tho release of all Ihe Austrian prisoners, giving their pa role not to serve during tbe war again. Cloa ot the Wstr In Kat-ope. When the war commenced in Europe, It was anticipated by publicists and politicians tbat it would be of short continuance This anticipation, was correct : Between the for mal declaration ot war and that great defeat of tbe Austrians near Salbwa. on July 8d, only three weeks intervened. In tbat brief Interval, Prussia bad occupied Hanover, Hesse, and Saxony, invaded Bohemia, bad two or three severe contests with the 'Aus trians fin wbich both claimed the victory,) and now have given such a eoup d main that it wholly rested with Prince Charles of Prus sia, at the latest date, whether ho should press on. following up tbo advantages be bad gained, and Knock lor entranco at tne gates of Vienna. The contest has been carried on with great spirit on both sides, but Marshal Bcnedek, tbe Austrian generalissimo, and reputed to be ono of the best commanders in Europe, has not realized anything like what was expected !rom him. Witb a fine army at his disposal, he loitered in inaction Mtlii'i frliA Pmoaiani Uinrn trlrrllnnf an? ntiarn with all the enthusiasm resulting trom tbe fact that they were acting on tho offensive, Tho result is tho Emperor of Austria has communicated to tbo Emperor Napoleon that having vindicated tho honor of his arms in Italy (by boating Victor Emmanuel in tbe pitched battle of June 24th), he now cedes Vcuetia to Napoleon, and accepts hiB media tion for the restoration of peace. Napoleon has communicated witn 1'russia and Italy, but there had not been time to receive t rcpty. Most probably hostilities will be sus pended, and tho terms of peace arranged by a general Congress at Paris. It would be premature to speculate thus early on tbe gains and lossct of tbe short but decisive campaign. Prussia, no doubt, will retain the Elbe Duchies, and may insist on getting part or the whole of .Hanover, to place her in territorial connection therewith; Napoleon may endeavor to restore the Rhine provinces to France, in view of her future absorption of Belgium; Venetia will be trans ferred to Italy, and, most probably, France will receive the island ot Sardinia as an equivalent. lhus a new mop ot fcurope will be con structed, and tho boundary-lines arbitrary established by the Treaties of Vienna, in 1815, tota.ly changed. Austria will lose Venetia only, for Prussia will not allow her to be robbed, but she has again kept up her old prestige of. failure, and more than ever de serves to be called tho Murad the Lnlucky among the nations of Euiopc. l'hila. Prctt. Tho War in Nonth America. A great battle occurred on tho 24th be tween tho alliad forces and Paraguayans, with heavy losses on both sides. The te- sult was indecisive, both sides claiming the victory. Hostilities were proceeding. 1 lie Paraguayans commenced the at tuck with 13,000 infantry and 8,000 cavalry, with des perate fury, but were repulsed and retired. Their loss is estimated at 5,000 killed and a large number wounded left on the field. The brunt of tbo battle on the side of tbe allies was borne by the Brazilians, who lost about 1,000 men killed and wounded. The Argentines lose 400, and tho Uruguayans also suffered severely. The Paraguayans had retired to their camp. No material advantage hosoccurrcd to the allies from tbo above engagement. The Vonl Trade. Tbe quantity sent by Railroad this week is 79,000 11 by Canul, 33,032 04 for the week, 112.123 15 tons against 80,003 for the corresponding week hist year. The trade is good, and prices have been maintained both here aud at the shipping ports. Tho shipments arc diminishing how ever, in consequence of turnouts at some of the collieries in this region, and also among the laborers at the wharves at Mauch Chunk. It was supposed that tbe trade would be dull in the months of July end August, but so far tbe demand is better than was antici pated. Tbo trade is stimulated to some ex tent by tbe impression that the advauce in tolls, which was postponed on tho 1st of July, will take place ou the 1st of August. Miner? Journal.
