have nothing to lose and much to gain.—
Even our opponents admit that our ticket
is an excellent one, and to say that it will
command a large and cordial support is
only to say that worth and ability are ,-.:lss
to
ports to public favor.
First on the Ticket is
JAMES LINDSEY, Esg.,
Our candidate for President Judge of the
14th District. A lawyer of large practice
and extensive acquirements, a courteous
gentleman in business and social inter
course, and endowed with an intellect of
rare quickness and vigor, he would make
an able and popular Judge. He has
sprung from one of the oldest and most
influential Democratic families in the
county, and has himself rendered signal
services to the party in past struggles and
trials. No man of his years has perhaps
addressed, more popular assemblages, or
lsiOored more indefatigably for Democratic
" - Ascendency; and he has served his party
thus efficiently without making himself
offensive to opponents, and without doing
violence to high sentiments of honor, of
justice, and propriety. That he will be
elected we have not a doubt; and that he
will do honor to the station no one will
question who knows anything of his qual
ifications.
Next come
Hon. JONATHAN GARRARD and
Coz.. T. P. POLLOCK,
Our nominees for the Associate Judge
whips, both men of high character and
admirable fitness, in every regard, for the
posts for which they have been proposed.
ir Judge GAstasam has already served a term
great acceptability to the people, and
will be re-elected by an increased majority,
which is always a distinguished mark of
popular appreciation. Col. POLLOCK rep

Ainentbiymen we have ever had. Honest

R. A. McCONNELL,
The uominnee for District Attorney, like
most of our candidates, is so well and fa
vorably known as to render our endorse
ment superfluous. A good lawyer, good
natured and good-looking, "Bob" will "go
through" by common consent. 'His incor
rigible bachelorhood is the only objection we
bear urged to him, but as it is not pressed
by the "lords of creation," it is not likely to
diminish his vote. It is unfortunate "Bon"
has no opponent, as we would like to see
his racing qualities brought out.
For Sheriff, we have
THOMAS LUCAS, Esq.,
Who is an upright farmer, and a first-rate
man. He is qualified, in every particular,
for the Sheriffalty, and the people can safe
ly entrust him with its duties. He will
make one of the best officers we hare ever

used to call "a rock-water .Democrat,"—never

For Commissioner, the party presents,
with singular unanimity, our excellent
friend,
DANIEL THROCICAORTON, Eso.,
A man who never had an enemy, and
wouldn't know how to make one. True as
steel to his party, and unswerving in his
attachment to Democratic principles, he is
yet so judicious, so palpably honest, and
so pleasant and obliging, that he is a great
favorite with the opposition, and will poll
an overwhelming vote. A large tax-payer
himself, it will be his interest not less than
his pleasure to keep a vigilant watch on
the public interests, which will not suffer
from his connivance or short-comings.

That had the policy and advice of the
Democratic party prevailed last Winter,
in the adoption, by Congress, of the Crit

war, excessive taxation, prostrate credit
and ruined business.

THE UJ PANTY" PARTY.
The moot hypocritical of the Republican
press quote from Judge Douglas' last
speech, with varied marks ofemphasis, the
following:
"Whoever is not prepared to sacrifice
party organiztitiolu and platform. on the al
tar of his country, does not deserve the
support and countenance of honest peo
ple.
Whose Platform, pertinently asks the
Harrisburg Patriot, does the preservation of
the altar of our country require to be sacri
ficed? Not the Democratic platform, cer
tainly, for on and by that it has been pre
served from the commencement of the Gov
ernment down. "The Union and the Con
stitution, they must be preserved," has ev
er been the foundation of the Democratic
organization and platform. Did the pres
ervation of our country require it to be sac
rificed, it would be most cheerfully done.
But who is it that is not prepared to sac
rifice the party platform on the altar of
their country? It is those who have de
clared their party platform "a law" to them
—who have declared their party platform
"more sacred than fifty Unions."
This is the party and these are the per
sons whom Mr. Douglas declared "unwor
thy of the support and countenance of hon
est people." The democracy have no po
litical power and therefore nothing to sac
rifice that would be of any practical effect.
It is the President and his party who are
called upon by their country to come for
ward and "sacrifice their party organization
and platform upon the altar of their coun
try." Will they do it?
TRUE, EVERY WORD OF IT
The Democracy of New York, who nom
inated a full, straight ticket at their late
State Convention, adopted the following
Resolution :
"Reiolved, That the hopes of the country
depend upon the unity and vigor of the
Democratic party in this crisis. That a
Democratic victory in this State would be
hardly lees auspicious to the cause of the
Union than the triumph of the federal
armies on the field of battle. That, there
fore, we hold these Democrats who, from
motives of ambition or factiousness. are
seeking to divide and distract the party, as
not only treacherous to its principles, but
disloyal to the country."
The Democratic party throughout the
country have vast responsib.litiesl de
volved on them in the present emergency,
and they should be fully alive to their
grave duties. THE UNION MIST BE
PRESERVED, and every attempt to
abandon it, or to relax a siugle one of its sa
cred bonds, on the part of Abolition fanat
ics of the North, who in times gone by
were not only willing, but eager to "lei it
slide," should be met with prompt and in
dignant resistance. They talked last Fall,
through the "Tribune" and kindred prints,
in favor of "peaceable secession," and
would give up the Union now without an
effort or sacrifice to preserve it, if they
could control the Administration. But it
remains to be seen how far and how much
their pernicious and dangerous influences
will be felt in the public counsels osnd on
the patriotic policy of the government.—
If the counsels of the national Democracy
prevail, the President and his advisers
will turn a deaf ear to the demands and
"blather" of these half-crazed fanatics.
Let Democrats every where stand by
their organization AND THE UNION.—
Let the weak and timid, the ambitious and
mercenary, falter as they may and will, you
hold fast to your integrity, Democrats of
Greene, remembering always that you are
identified with a party whose patriotism is
attested by more than half a century's
loyality to the .Cosntitution and consistent
devotion to the interests and happiness of
the people.
"Stand
Firm for your country and become a man
Honored and loved ; it were a nobble life,
To be found dead embracing her."
SENATOR DOUGLAS ON PARTYISM.
The Chicago Times, one of the ablest and
most orthodox Democratic papers in the
West, and the organ of the late Senator
DOUGLAS, expresses the following just views
on this subject. It says:
"The 'No Party men, use the language
of Stephen A. Douglas to prove that lie fa
vored the dissolution of the Democracy.—
As these men are republicans, this is the
first time in their lives that they have al
luded to the great western statesman in
terms of approbation, and, as might be ex
pected, they do not quote him fairly.
"Douglas never assumed that a man
must cease to be a Democrat to be a patri
ot. He never advised his party alone, but
the whole people, to drop mere partizan
politics, and to devote their energies to the
war. His followers tried the experiment
sufficiently to find that the Republican lead
ers were not sincere in it, and that with
them 'no party' meant 'no Democratic par
ty.'
"If Mr. Douglas had lived to witness
the events of the last sixty days, he would
have seen how futile is the effort to induce
a large portion of the Republicans to aban
don their extreme dogmas for a position of
conservative support of the Union. He
would not have kept silent when inefficien
cy and corruption assailed the Government,
and would have never acquiesced in the in
solent demand of some of the Republicans
that Democrats should make the abandon
ment of their principles a test of patriotism.
What he said was in the voice of hope.—
He did not live to discover the insincerity
of the opposition leaders—to behold the
Government dominated by Cameron and
Blair—the Congress passing the resolutions
of Lovejoy,—or the administration fright
ened into precipitate battle by a caucus, in
which Chandler, and others like him, were
leading spirits. He did not witness the ig
noring of his friends and followers in all
high comma*. In short, he did not sur
vive to behold how bitterly, in spite of the
constancy of the Democracy, his hope has

at Hempstead and Searcedale are to

HONESTY IN THE ARMY
Some of the Quartermasters in the army
have been purchasing hay at Cincinnati
at $lB per ton, and oats at Pittsburgh at
33 cents per bushel, when the price of hay
at Cincinnati is but 10 per ton, and oats
at Pittsburgh 22 cents a bushel. The dif
ference between the market price and the
price paid goes into the pockets of these
honest Quartermasters as a matter of
course. But some of these conscientious
gentlemen have, in order to hide their own
rascality, put in circulation the report that
the farmers of Western Virginia have
combined and put up the prices of hay and
oats to an extortionate figure. We pro
nounce these reports false in every partic
ular. Hay is plenty all over Western Vir
ginia, at from five to eight dollars per ton,
and oats at from 20 to 25 cents per bushel,
and our loyal farmers are glad to sell it
for money at these prices. We also see
that the Cincinnati Commercial charges
that Quartermasters in Western Virginia
are paying out Virginia money instead of
gold and silver to the soldiers, and putting
the ten per cent. difference in exchange in
their pockets, which the Wheeling Intel
ligencer indignantly denies. We are in
formed from reliable sources that a cer
tain Quartermaster named Lieb has been
paying off laborers, teamsters, &c., at
Clarksburg, in Virginia money. That he
never paid specie, except when compelled
to do it, and then requested the persons to
whom he paid it, as a special favor to him,
to keep the fact a secret from those to
whom he paid the currency.
Now a stop ought to be put to this kind
of business, and if Capt. Lieb is guilty as
reported, the United States Senate were
right in refusing to confirm his appoint
ment, and the President is very culpable in
re-appointing him.
THE GREENE COUNTY BOYS IN A
"BRUSH" WITH THE REBELS
It will be seen, by the subjoined article
from the Pittsburgh Chronicle, that the
Greene County lads have been doing some
"tall" marching and have "smelt" of pow
der :
We have a letter from Washington to
day, in which details are given of a rather
severe march made by the Eighth regi
ment, the other day. The regiment started
from Camp Tenally at twelve o'clock, and
at six reached Point of Rocks, nineteen
miles distant. This is what we call tall
walking, and shows that the boys of the
Eighth can "step out" when they try. Af
ter their arrival at Point of Rocks, Cap
tain Johnston's company, raised here, and
the Greene County Rangers, were detached
as pickets to a point four and a half miles
distant. On their way they saw numer
ous rebels, who took flight upon their
appearance, our men firing at them
as they fled. About twelve or fifteen
hundred yards from where they stopped,
stood a log house, which seemed to be the
head-quarters of the enemy's pickets—
The Rangers were ordered to load with
double cartridge, and try if they could not
drive them out. Aim was taken at the
chimney, and at the first fire several
bricks were knocked off. Some twenty
shots were next directed at an open win
dow which looked towards our men, when
a woman stepped out of the house waving
the stars and stripes above her head. This
did not satisfy our men, as they knew
there was a considerable force of rebels in
the house, and several more shots were
fired, when a flag of truce was exhibited
and the :firing ceased. It was then ascer
tained that five of the rebels had been
made to bite the dust, three of whom fell
in the woods and two in the house. None
of our boys were hurt. This was the first
time the boys of the Eighth has got a
chance at the enemy, and they were high
ly pleased with the result. The Eighth is
commanded by Col. Hays, and made up
nearly altogether of Pittsburgers.

Who Fight Our Battles.
The Indianapolis State Sentinel is told by
a gentleman, an officer in one of the Indi
ana regiments, that an officer detailed by
the War Department, under the direction
of the Commander-in-chief, to muster into
the service volunteers in Indiana, gives it
as his opinion, based upon the most favor
able opportunities of ascertaining the act
ual facts, that three-fourths of the men
who have already volunteered from that
State are D emocr ats, This is the very

be commanded by General Burnside,
will operate in the Chesapeake,
landing so as, on one side, to flank
the rebel army on the Patomac ; and
on the other, to take Norfolk 7 in the
rear, in case the rebels should fall
back from Manassas. All of these
expeditions will be provided with
ample artillery, and the landings
will be effected under cover of heavy
naval batteries. Ships, steamers, gun
boats, and launches aro, we believe,
being actively prepared for this ser
vice.
Simultaneously with the departure
of these expeditions, we look for a
forward movement on the part of
General Banks. A glance at the
map will show how General McClel
lan will co-operate with him. If the
enemy resist him in force, McClellan
will naturally attack Manassas at
once. If he moves on without op
position, the attack will be deferred
until he is in a position to take part
in it by flanking the enemy- We
have an intimation that simultaneous
with General Bank's movement, Gen
eral Sickles will cross the Potomac
some twentymiles below Washington,
with a view to gain a position between
Manassas and Richmond. These de
tails, however, are of course as yet
undetirmined; and the intimation is
merely a shrewd guess. The main
point—that Manassas will bo threat
ened ou three sides simultaneously,
while a column under General Burn
side advances to cut off the retreat
of the enemy—may be regarded as
pretty certain.
Meanwhile, further West, General
Anderson may be expected, by 10th
October, to have raised such an army
of Kentuckians and East Tennessee
ans as to keep Tennessee effectually
in cheek, and to co-opperate efficient
ly with General Fremont, who by
that time will probably have muster
ted an army sufficient to beat the
rebels in the neigeborhood of Spring
field, Missouri, and to man a powerful
expedition for the descent of the Mis
sippi. We do not look for naval op
erations of the first importance on
the Mississippi. The fortified points
on that river will naturally be as
sailed by land. Corps d'armee will
converge upon them from either
shore, and reduce them as Hatteras
was reduced, or, when the thing is
practicable, with the bayonet. The
, gun-boats will be useful as auxiliaries,
1 and the river will prove valuable for
the transportation of supplies. But
the fighting in the West will be done
on land. If the campaign in that re
gion is to keep pace with that in the
East, the rebel forces under Price,
or McCulloch, or whoever has suc
ceeded them, which are now in pos
session of S~ekl, Moo_ ,nri and
tie vicinity,penst be defeated and
driven into Arkansas, or scattered
altogether, before October 15. Wheth
, this can be achieved depends upon
considerations which are only known
to Major-General
_Fremont.
Thus, if our information be correct,
the battle will have begun alon* the
whole line, from the Antlantic to
Kansas, by the middle of October,
and at least two points on the coast
will be either in possession of or un
der bombardment by our forces. It
is believed that the whole force em
ployed will be not less than 350,000
men, exclusive of reserves and of
home guards in Kentucky, Maryland,
and Missouri, so that at every point
attacked we shall probably outnum
ber the enemy Our armies will be
well supplied, well provisioned, well
drilled, well equiped, and well com
manded. Under such circumstan
ces, it is not extravagant to expect
success.
It is not reasonable to believe that
the rebel troops from the Gulf Sta
tes will remain patiently under arms
in Virginia, while their homes are
being assailed by expeditions from
the North. Nor is it probable that
troops deficient in equipment, clo
thing, shoes, arms, medicines, and
supplies of all kind's—as the rebel
troops are—will contend on equal
terms with a force provided with
these necessaries in profusion. Last
ly, as it was proved at Bull Run, that
wherever Northerners and Southern
ers met in a fair field, the former
were the better men, it is not likely
that an inferior Southern force will
any where stand against a superior
Northern force.
We therefore say that the Plan
of the campaign renders success
morally certain; for it must be re
membered we are not fighting to
subjugate the South, to abolish Sla
very, or to conquer territory. Our
object is to defeat and disperse the
rebel armies which are now over
running the Southern States. This
done, our work is achieved. When
ever we defeat and digperse the
rebel armies the people will be invi
ted to exercise their privilege of elec
ting members of Congress ; the post
al facilties will be restored to them ;
they will be protected from further
spoliation by the rebel banditti, and
restored to all the priveledges of
sovereign citizens of the United Sta
tes. The recent ellections in Mary
land and Kentucky, and the late
demonstrations in North Carolina,
show how gladly the change will
be welcomed. There will not be a
Southern State in which a rebel tick
et will stand any chance at the polls
after Jeff Davis's armies are defeat
ed in the field.
The Surrender of Oolonel Mulligan.
Official information of the capture of
Lexington, Mo., and the surrender of the
gallant Colonel Mulligan to the rebel
forces of General Price, has been received
by the War Department. Colonel Mulli
gan held out bravely for four days against
immense odds, and, it is said, only suc
cumbed for want of water, without which
his men had to maintain themselves for
two days. Gen. Prentiss has despatched
to St. Louis a statement of the surrender,
which reduces the loss on both sides
considerably below the first report. We
have also a despatch from Quincy, 111.,
to the Cincinnati Gazette, which states that
on Monday evening about seven hundred
non-commissioned officers and privates of
Colonel gulligan's command had arrived
there—the remainder, amounting to about
one hundred and forty, were expected the
next day. Colonel Mulligan's force at
Lexington, it is stated by these soldiers,
did not exceed 2,500, including several
companies of Missouri Home Guards.—
The Beige upon Colonel Mulligan's en
trenchments commenced on Thursday the
12th inst., and was continued from day to
day until Friday last, at five o'clock, p. m.,
when the Union flag was hauled down by
the Home Guards of Missouri, who had
acted inefficiently and cowardly during the
whole seige. Colonel Mulligan refused to
surrender, but being wounded in one of the
legs at the time, could not prevent it.
He had but five or six charges left for
his artilery, and being nearly out of am
munition for hie infantry and cavalry, he
could have held out little longer. Colonel
Marshall, of the cavalry, is said to have
acted most cowardly, though his men
conducted themselves with great bravery
and gallantry, making several destructive
charges upon the enemy. After the sur
render, when the rebels approached Col.
Mulligan and demanded his sword, he re
fused to deliver it up, and they took it
from him by physical force. Placed inde
fence of an obscure Missouri village, Col.
Mulligan, a hitherto unknown subaltern,
has won for himself one of the noblest pla
ces in our national gallery of heroes, and a
sad reverse has gained him more than a
victor's honers. Col. M. and all the com
missioned officers are still held as prison
ers.
The latest accounts from Lexington,
previous to the announcement of the sur
render, reported the movement of rein
forcements to sustain Col. Mulligan, both
by land and water. Three steamers went
up the river on Saturday with three regi
ments, to assist the garrison at Lexington,
and a force of 3,500 men, infantry, cavalry
and artillery, had left St. Joseph and
Chillicothe on the 15th inst. for the same
point. These reinforcements and supplies,
it is feared, have fallen into the hands of
the enemy. Gen. Fremont is reported
now as about to take the field in person
against Gen. Price.
JUVENILE OONOERT.
The Juvenile Entertainment, given by
Prof. BOYD'S Pupils on Friday evening
last, at College Hall, was largely attended
and afforded much pleasure to old and
young. The little folks evidently attained
a good degree of musical proficiency un
der the instrutiona of the Professor, who
is certainly a "capital hand among chil
dren."

At his residence in Greensboro, on the
2nd of September, 1861, Mr. Dames.
BOUGHNER, having just entered the 74th
year of his age.
At an early period of his life, Mr. Bough
ner emigrated from New Jersey, and hav
ing spent a few years in Fayette county.
afterwards for a time resided in the family
of Rev. Air. Corbly, of this county. At
the age of 23, Mr. Boughner was united in
marriage to Miss Mary Vance. daughter
of Mr. James Vance, for many years a
ruling Elder of the Presbyterian Church.
This marriage was crowned with nine
children, seven of whom yet survive, ao.
tive members of society. For many years.
Mr. Boughner has been devoted to mer
chantile pursuits in the village of Green..
boro, where he shared largely the confi
dence of the cummunity. About the yeas
1841, the deceased made a public profes
sion of religion, and united with the Pres
byterian Church, to promote the interests
of which he had for years cheerfully con
tributed both time and means. On be
coming a member of church, he continued
to evince his active christian sympathies
by a habitual attendance on the means of
grace, by the exercise of a generous hoe
pitality, and by a cheerful co-operation in
sustaining the preaching of the gospel.—
Whoever else might be absent, Mr. Bough
ner, when in health and at home, never
failed to be in the sanctuary, to the great
satisfaction and encouragement of the offi
ciating pastor. The Sabbath School too.
of which he was, for many years, Superin
tendant, shared largely his kind atten
tions up to the close of life. Feeble as he
has been for several months, yet he en
gaged in the active duties of life, till with
in two or three days of his departure.—
When about to resign his spirit to God
who gave it, in full poseession of his men
tal powers and in presence ofhie friends,
he freely adverted to the sufficiency of
Christ's merits for the vilest of sinners,
and having commended his soul to the
Divine mercy, calmly fell asleep in hope
of the resurection of the just. After
an appropriate funeral discourse by the
Rev. Dr. AG. Fairchild, his remains, ao.
companied by the Sabbath School and a
large concourse of friends and citizens,
were deposited in the silent tomb. J. M.
