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.

E-ffHo.N. 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

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

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."

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

dent Sir : I hereby resign to you the oflice
ot Attorney-Uencial of tbe United States.

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.

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.

Italy, in reply, demands tbe occupation 6T

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.
