Sunbury, though not on ancient town, dates lU origin a fow years previous to the lisvolution, which wrested the Province of rcncsylvsnia from the b anils of the pro prietors, the descendants of Wm. Penn, and from British rule. The town of Sunbury was surveyed and located by John Lukens, Purveyor General, and his assistant, Win. Mc Clay, in pursuuuee of an order of Council, liy direction of the Governor of tho Province, dated Juno 10, 1772, for a copy of which, taken from the records of tho State Depart ment, we are indebted to J. B. Packer, Esq., of this pluce, as well as for a draft or sur vey of tho manor of Pom fret, by virtue of a warraut dated Octobor 80th, 1768, nearly one hundred years since, and surveyed De comber 1C, 17C8, for the use of "tho honour able the Proprietaries." This manor of Pom fret, in which Sunbury Is located, is an Eng lish institution, and accordiug to the survey contains four thousand seven hundred and Bisty-sis acres of land, &c. The northern lino, running eastward, commences at the river, about two-thirds of the way above tho lower point of Shamokin Island, and runs southward to nearly opposite the point of the Island, thence about ten degrees north of east ; thence southward, and from thenco westward to the river, at the Load of the two small Islands below the Shamo kin Falls. In this survey, tho point of Bhamokin Island extends down, nearly op posite the . southern shore of the West Branch, showing that much of the Island has been washed away by floods subsequent to that timo. Tho following is the order referred to, by which it appears Sunbury was laid out as the county town for Northumberland County, which county then embraced with in its boundaries, nearly one-fifth of the State : "At a meeting at the Governor's ou Tuos day the sixteenth day of Juno, 1772. Present. The Governor. The Secretary Mr. Tilghman. Tho Receiver General Mr. Physick. The Surveyor General Mr. Lukens. Orderod that tho Surveyor General with all convenient speed repair to Fort Augusta on the Susquehanna, and with the assistance of William McClay, lay out a town for tho County of Northumberland, to be called by the name of Sunbury, at the most commo dious place between the fork and the Sha mokin creek, into three hundred lots to bo accommodated with Streets, Lanes and Al leys, and e commodious Square in the most convenient place for public buildings. The two main streets to be eighty feet wide, tho others sixty, and tho lanes and alleys twen ty feet. The lots to be- sixty feet wide in front aud two hundred and thirty feet deep if the ground and situation will convenient ly allow that depth. And it is further or dered, that a space of at least one hundred and twenty feet be left between the town line and the bank of the river. Every other lot adjoining tho Sqare and fifty commodi ous lots besides to be reserved for the Pro prietaries. After laying out the town, the Surveyor General, while he is there, and Mr. McClay, after the Surveyor leaves the place, may receivo applications, and make entries to be returned and recorded in the Secretary's Office, from any person or per sons inclinable to settle and build in the town, particularly tradesmen and such as are of ability to improve.

Tna following brief summary of the pro ceedings of the Democratic National .Con vention's extract from the Gcrmantown Telegraph t ; i . 1 ' ', j "After a session of fivo days the National Convention finished its labors and adjourn ed on Thursday evening. To the surprise of everybody it has presented candidates for President and Vice-President, after twenty one ballots, which were not dreamed of.- All the named candidates were triod and Abandoned, and Hon, Horatio Seymour, of New York, and Gen. Francis P. Blair, of Missouri, carried off the honors. Mr. Pen dleton who was cock sure of the-nomiBation, was withdrawn after the eighteenth Wtat He started with 105, the next highest being Andrew Johnson, who had 65. and then fell off to about half a doaen unfiUbe last bal lot, when he was with all the rest dropped for concentration on Seymour. Pendleton highest voto was 158. Hancock atarted 83fr, and after varying fortunes, rsn up to 1444, on tho eighteenth ballot, when his strcugth began to diminish. Hendricks, whoso success at one time, scorned, if not in the voto, in the opinion of politicians, started on tho first ballot with 2, and reached 132 votes on the 21st ballot, which was his high est. Un the nineteenth ballot Chase received half a vote, and ou the twenty-first four votes and no more. Tbo other candidates, who received complimentary votes,' were Asa Packer, of this State; S. E. Church, of New York ; Gov. English, of Connecticut; Doolittle, of Wisconsin; Judge Field, of the Supremo Court; Gem McClollan, of Europe; Mayor Hoffman ; F. P. Blair, of Missouri ; Thomas II. Suymour, of Connecticut ; .Gov. Parker, of New Jorsey ; Thomas Ewing, Jr., of Ohio,, and . lion. Keveruy Johnson, of Maryland. "When the Convention adjourned on Wednesday, it was understood that Chief- Justice Chuse would be sprung upon it tho next day on the first ballot. Chase himself hnd the strongest assurances to that elToct, aud in anticipation of it, he had given in his adherence to the cxtraordiuary platform which had been adopted antagonizing every principle he had heretofore cherished. His disappointment must therefore have been terrible. It is said that even the President expected to be nominated, and did not give up tuo aopo until the thunder-clap of Sey mour's success stuuncd him. ' As to Han cock, his chagrin may bo imagined when he was not only abandoned tor President but for Yico -President also. 1 "For Vice-President a number of candi dates were named, but the current was so strong for Blnir that all others wero with drawn and he was unanimously nominated. "Thus, after five days of as hard strug gling as was ever witnessed in a political body, the work of the Convention was dono, and Seymour and Blair are to be the Demo cratic standard-bearers in the pending Na tioual canvass." , The Inst Democratic National Convention in 18C4 adopted, among others, tho follow ing resolution : Jiftohed, That this Convention docs ex plicitly declare, as the sense of the American people, that after four years of failuro to re storo tho Union by tho experiment of war, during which, under the pretense of a mili tary necessity of a war power higher than the Constitution, tho Constitution itself has been disregarded in every part, and public liberty and private right alike trodden down, and tho material prosperity of the country essentially impaired, justice, hu manity, liberty ana the. public welfare de mand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate Convention of all the States, or Other peaceable means to tho end that at the earliest practicable moment peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. Immediate efforts, under the direction of Gen. Grant, produced the desired cessation of hostilities in less than twelve months after. But the efforts which the Democracy called for were of a more pacific nature. They wanted a trucu, a compromise, and a surrender of that principle which regarded the Union as inviolable. They did not re adopt tho same resolution, in words, at New York, but their platform and candidate was selected with an exclusive view to making that restoration of the Union, which the war accomplished, a failure if possible. And Forrest, Wadu Hampton and all the other rebels in attendance contributed to that re sult. Let us sec if they accomplish it 1 Gen. GnAST's Qualifications. There are somo journalists who abuse Gen. Grant from puro ignorance. As tbey feel bound to say something for the party, they naturally sub stitute abuse for nrgument, without the least regard for truth or consistency. Every in telligent and respectable jourualist feels that ho is stultifying himself in assailing Gcu. Grant, and thcrefoie leaves this kiud of argument, intended for a certain class, to the miscrablo party hacks. Tint Imi'eaciimhnt ItspoitT. Gen. But ler's exertions in the Impeachment Investi gation are worthy of great praise. No man in the nation" could have done it better. Us results abundantly justify tho House of Re presentatives in ordering tho investigation. The technical conviction which Andrew Johnson fjiiluJ to receive in the Senate has been morally secured by the report. The lack of one vote on tho Eleventh Article is more than made up by the proof that the President's partisans wero compelled to re sort to bribery aud corruption iu order to contrive the criminal's cscupo from his jutt doom. Ilia dclivoranco was purchased. Of what worth is such an acquittal f The following letter, from the lamented Gcu. McPherson, should forever seal the lips of the slanderers of Gen. Grant, who pretend that he has no qualification, civil or military, for the office of President. Gen. McPbersoa was a religious man, as well as an accomplished officer, of whom Gen. O. O. Howard speaks as one of the few christian cadets he met when he entered West Point, in 1850; "Gen. U. S. Grant I regard as one of the most remarkable men in our country. With out aspiring to be a genius, or posscssiug those characteristics which impress one forcibly at first sight, his sterling good senso, calm judgmont and persistency of purpose more than compensate for those. Uaahiug. brilliant qualities which are apt to captivate at first glance. To know aud appreciate General Graut fully one ought to be a num ber of his military family. Though pos sessing a remarkable reticence as far as mil itary operations are concerned, ha is frank and affable, converses well, and has a pecu liarly retentive memory. When not op pressed with the cares ol bis position, he is very fond ot talking, telling anecdotes, &c. His purity of chaiaoter is unimpeachable, aud his patriotism of the Most exalted kind. H is gouerous to a fault, humane and true, and a steadfast friend to' those whom he deems worthy of his confidence. He can be relied upon in case of eneieucy." " BLAIR AIO BIVOI.TJTIOHV " Gen. Frank P. Blair is the Democratic nominee for Vice-President. Gen. Blair a Republican, but bas for the last two' or thre years beeA.a bitter Jfoppsrhcad. .The following letter,- of veryVrecent date, em bodies Gen. Blair's bid for the honor he has achieved.'. It "will be seen . that he takes ground distinctly for overturning the new State Governments at the South by force and violence. A Dcmocratio "President elect" Is to treat those governments as nul lities, employ tho Army to overthrow them, and allow others to be set up wherein none but whites are to have any voice.

EroadhearL Dear Coi.ofiKL. : In reply to your inquir ies, I beg leave to say that I leave to you to dctermiuc, on consultation with my friends from Missouri, whether my name shall be presented to the Democratic Conveution, and to submit tho following, as what I consider tho real and only issue in this con test t The Reconstruction rjolicv of tlia Radicals will bo complete before the next election ; tuo Btatos, so long excludod, will have been admitted; negro suffrage establish ed, and the carpet-baggers iustallod in their scats in both branches of Congress.., There is no possibility of changing tho political character of tho Senate, even if the Demo crats should elect, their President and a majority of the popular branch of Congross. We cannot, therefore, undo the Radical plan of Reconstruction by Congressional action ; tho Senate will continuo a bar to its repeal. Must we submit to it f How can it be overthrown I It can only be overthrown by tho authority of tbo Executive, who is sworn to maintain the Constitution, and who will fail to do his duty if he allows tho Constitution to perish under a scries of Congressional enactments which aro in palapable violation of its fundamental prin ciples. If the President elected by tho Democracy enforces or permits others to enforce these Reconstruction acts, the Radicals, by the accossion of 20 spurious Sunators and CO Representatives, will control both branches of Congress, and his administration will be as powerless as the present one of Mr. John son. There is but one way to restore the Gov ernment and the Constitution, and that is for Vie Preident-elect to declare thet.e acts null and void, compel the army to undo ilt vsurpations ot Vie South, disperse tho carjiet lag State Government!, allow the White pen. pie te reorganize their men gocernments, and eject Senators and ItpresenUUites. .. Tho II on so of Representees will contain a ma jority of Democrats from the North, and they will admit the Representatives elected by tho White people of the South, and, with the co-operation of tho Presidont, it will not bo difficult to compel the Senate to submit onco more to tho obligations of the Con stitution, It will not be ablo to withstand the public judgment, if distinctly invoked aud clearly expressed,, on this fundamental issuo, and it is tho sure way to avoid all fut'uer strife to put this issuo plainly to the country. . I repeat that this is the real and only question which we should allow to control us : Shall we submit to the usurpations by which tho Government has been over thrown, or shall we exert ourselves for its full and complete restoration t It is idle to talk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the public faith, and the public credit. What can a Democratic President do in regard to any of . tlieco, with a Congress in both branches controlled by tho carpet-baggers and their allies I He will be powerless to stop the supplies by which idle negroes are organized into political clubs by which an army is maintained to protect these vaga bonds in their outrages upon tho ballot. These, and things liko these, eat up the revenue and resources of the Government and destroy its credit, make the riill'eronce between gold and greenbacks. We must restore the Constitution before we can re store the finances, and to do this we must have a President who will execute the will of the people by trampling into dust the usurpations, : of Congress, known as the Reconstruction acts. I wish to stand be fore tho Convention upon this inane, but it is one which embraces everything else that is of value in its largo and comprehensive re sults. It is the one thing that includes all that is worth a contest, and without it there is nothing that gives dignity, honor, or value to the struggle, lour tnend, Fhakk P. Blair. Americans ! if you want another Civil War inaugurated, vote tho Blair ticket I He tells you just how he w ill set it going. Mark bim I ..t a .I. Rainy Days akd East Win us. The pre sent year, up to the middle of June, has been remarkable for the number of its rsiuy days and tho almost continual east wind, that prevnilod during that time. The average annual fait of rain and melted snow, for thirty years! in tho latitudo of New York, has been something over forty-four inches. Iu 1806, tho average was forty-eight iuehes. In 1867, over fifty-seven inches, and from January 1 to Juno 20, 1868, nearly six months,, it wag about twenty-five inches. The present year has been moro remarka ble for its rainy days than for the amount of rain that has fallen. The record stands thus : Yt'holo number Months. ' of days. Rainy days. January 81 17 February 29 9 March . 81 13 April 80 14 May 81 28 June 20 10 Total, 173 02 It will be seen that it has rained on con siderably more than one half the whole number of days from the 1st of Jauuary to tho 20th of June. Tho wind has blown from some point in the esst on 133 of the whole number of 172 days. Is his address to the Soldiers and Sailors' Convention, Gen. W. B. Franklin said that the Democratic party "ought to nominate for the Presidency an unfaltering aud con sistent friend of the soldiers." . They did it, of course over the left. Frank P. JJIalr is a renegade' politician and a dishonored soldier. , When the con test between freedom and slavery was ra ging in Missouri and Kansas, betook strong ground as a free-State man and emancipa tionist, and thus secured a favor lroin the Republican party which he speedily abused by the most flagrant recreancy. His record in the army is devoid of glory, and his per sonal couduet was such that ilt- Lincoln incurred great odium by adhering to him which he did on account of the lutluencc of other members of the iuevitable Blair family. Of course, Forrest, the butcher of Fort Pillow, and Wade Hampton, who de clared after the close of the war that he would "sooner live iu hell than under the United States Government," "delight to honor" this Democratic cauuidate for Vice President.

Butler's bill to tax United Statos bonds, introduced Juuo 0th and rcforrod to the Ways and Means Committee, has never been considered by tho committee, and as there was no pros pect of its being reported this season, Mr. Butler to day got Delos R. Ashly, of Neva da, when that Stato was called, in regular order for bills and resolutions, to introduce it again in a somewhat modified form, but containing the maiu principle of taxing the bonds. Objection was mado, and a point of order reached, that it was a bill taxing the people and could not, under tho rules, receive pre seut consideration. The Speaker sustained the point of order, on the ground that all bills for taxing the people, and for reach ing the rovenue must first be discussed in tho committee of the whole, which effec tually kills it.
