.4 deliberate attempt was made recently
by some Abolition scoundrels to •take the
life of Mr. Pugh, the Democrat candidate
for Lieut. Governor of Ohio, by destroying
the railway train on which he wae pass
ing. A previous attempt with the same
purpose having been made, Mr. Pugh and
hits friends were warned of their danger,
and every precaution taken by the officers
of the road to avert a disaster. Fortu-
nately, though several were injured, no
lives were lOst.
A few days ago, Peter Bellinger, of Mil
waukie, Wisconsin, got into a political
discussion with an abolitionist of Lisbon
—each representing extreme views. As
usual, the dismission was not confined to
the originator of the dispute. Citisens
joined in on both sides. 4t last a soldier
belonging to Co. C, 30th AcgimQnt, sta
tioned there to protect the citizens from
lndiars, took offence at some remark
made by Bellinger, and threatened vio
lence. At this Bellinger went away,
loaded his revolver and returned, saying
that he was ready to go on with his argu
ment and ready to defend himself, and the
soldier might commence. The soldier
went Off'and after roll call at night came
back with a party ready to clean Billinger
out, and arrest bin) for being a copper
head, and carryipg weapons. He ran in
to Mr. Roth's store: The lights were ex
tinguished when the soldiers broke in by
the back door. Ile then rap out of the
front, and started, for the Gittorgia House.
On the way he was attacked by the sol
diers, and fired on.thout with his revolver,
shooting Ebret Oleson twice thro'igh the
heart or treat it,;and wounding severely E.
Wiisort, and J. B. Elgin, and- C. Cum
mings, slightly--all of Co. C, and 'from
Trempelettu. Wilson and Elgin , will'die.
Capt. Arnold reached the scene of' 'action
by this time and tried his -hest to make
his men desist, but neither he, nor the
citizens, not mixed up in the affair, eotfjd
do the least toward: , stilling the row:7-
Billinger was taken from the Georgia
House by the crowd, and pounded till it
was thou& he was dead. He jumped
from • the ground, knocked three men
down, and ran' a short distance, when be
wiye caught by the soldiers, his head
placed on a large block and pounded to a
mass of pulp resenting mincemeat!

.11111111INISTRATION DEDIEO
-
The following from the Newton (N. J.)
!Jerald hits the nail right on the bead,
where every such bogus Democrat ought
to be hit:
I "Wp are al a loss to distinguish between
the "Administration Den:tots:rata," of oqr
County and out:anti-oat Abolitionists, un
less it be this. that the Abolitionists have
had the manliness not to endorse the Ad
ministration until it came square up to
their ideas. of right and wrong; while these
"Administration Democrats" endorse it,
no matter whether right or wrong. Of
the two, the Abolitionists are by far the
more respectable, because they will not
approve what they profess to believe
wrong, while these men approve by their
acts what they know, and sometimes ad
. mit to be wrong."
THE WAR DEMOCRAT DODGE.
The Louisville Journal thus correctly
hits off this miserable fraud and decep
tion. It says:
"The meeting of 'War Democrats, at
Indianapolis turns out to be simply a
meeting of Republicans of Democratic
antecedents. The affair evidently belongs
to that sort of juggling which compre
hends the taking of a trick with a put
card. The gentlemen in question had al
ready once joined the Republican party.—
They accordingly are past cards. They
are played out. They can not again fairly
take a trick in the present game. The
attempt is contrary to the rules of fair
play. Being exposed, the attempt of
cqurse qtuonnts to nothing, whether or not
carries it a forfeit remains to be seen.
If it shq.ll not the Republicans of our
sister State lif4l have reason to congratu
late theiriselves On so cheaply getting out
of a very shadow rase."

EXTENSION.
One of the richest improvements made in
ratsbmgh this season, is the extension to
White, Orr & Co.'s Store, No. 25 Fifth Street,
It is a perfect gem, and it must be seen to be
appreciated. The extensien consists of a new
room 52 feet deep, by 26 wide and 23 high.—
Ceiling arched, with a very long sky-light
handsomely finished. The new room con
nects- tcttll the former store in such a manner
that it forms one ee+t•t•inttetts room. The
store now is 186 feet deep, in the clear. The
front roam is 'l5 feet deep, with ceiling of or
dinary height, and the. behrnee 111 feet, ig one
handsome room with high ceiling 23 feet from
the floor. 11 handsome chandeliers ornament
the store.
The extension is Swat expressly for a Cloak,
Shawl and Curtain room, and is well worth a
visit. There are 'twee immense mirrors in the
rear of the new room, by which yeti can see
yourself as others see you. Ten bronze arms,-
cast from a model taken from life; protrude
from the wall on each side of the house, the
hand tightly grasping a rod upon which gar
ments are hung- Altogether it is a beautiful
piece of work, and, being something entirely
new, takes the eye at once on entering.
The Ladies' Dressing Room is, for comfort
and convenience, unsurpassed. Everything
that one can imagine has been done, regardless
of expense, for the comfort of lady customgrs ;
and npw that the proprietors are opening their
Fall Stock of Goods, we would advise our rea
ders to call and see for themselves.
In addition to this fine room is one below it
for the jobbing of fine Dress Goods, which is
* new feature in the House. The second story
which was formerly occupied for a Cloak and
Shawl loom and the room below the Cloak
room in the extension, will be occupied exclu
sively for the wholesaling of goods We
would call the attention of ,country dealers to
the fact.
prl'On a late visit to Pittsburgh we were
struck with the thrilt and activity of the city,
and although the country is convulsed with
war, one can scarcely realize ii when surround
ed with the push and go-aheadativeness of that
plebe. In peranthulating Wood street we
dropped in to see our young and wide awake
friend, J. H. Hillerman, (No. 75) and found
him and his elerks "busy as bees" opening,
selling arntlsliipping Goods, and taking a look
nt his stock we found it one of the most com
plete it has been our good fortune to examine.
His stock of Ladies' Furs is immense, ranging
in price from five to two Mindred dollars,
through all the gradations of styles and quali
ties. The ?ashes cannot fail to he suited and
pleased. Mr. 11. and his employees are very
courteous gentlemen, and appear to think it a
pleasure to show their goods. The stock of
young ladies' and Misses' Hats, to which he
devotes especial attent,m, has never been sur
passed in the city. A mere glance at the
wholesale rooms showed to es the perfect har
mony and order to which he has reduced his
business, and our acquaintance with the house
justifies us in as,oring our readers that they
will be well treated and find goods to suit their
tastes, and at prices eery moderate, if they will
call on Hillerman. See card

R. H. Phelan 'and Slater Shriven
Col. Wm. Homms was then introduced.
and responded in a telling speech.. We
have seldom listened to a more argumen
tative and patriotic address.
Dr. ALEXANDER PATTON Wad then called
upon, and responded in lis lively and
forcible manner, and if be should never
say more, his speech proved him worthy
the Buffett:tee of the people of this county.
.4. A. PummAx, lEsq., was then called
upon, and briefly responded.
The Court being in session, the meeting
adjourned to meet at the Court Donee in
the evening.
Col. N. S. Ritchie, the President of the
meeting, being absent, Hon. Jonathan
Garrard was chosen to fill the chair.
The meeting being organized, Hon.
SAMUEL A. GILMORK was introduced, and
responded in an able and forcible speech,
fully evincing the great fact that upon
the Democracy depends the salvation of
our Union, and the preservation of _our
glorious Constitution.
JANES H. flOPHINB; Eq., of Pittsburgh,
was then called upon. We have.eeldom
listened to an abler or more convincing
speech. His arguments were incontro
vertible, and the doctrine sound to the
Core.
Hon. CHARTOLS A. BLACK was called tor,
and responded in a brief but telling ad
dress. "Charley" is all right, and the
Democracy nave his hearty co-operation.
Hon. JONATHAN GAas4tso next made a
short and sensible address.
The meeting then adjourned with three
rousing cheers for the Union and the
Constitution ; three for our patriotic
standard-bearers, Woodward, Lowrie,
Hopkins, and the Democratic county
ticket ; and three for the speakers, and
three groans for Jeff. Davis and the
Southern Confederacy.
It is but justice to say that Capt. Stay's
Waynesburg Brass Band was present, and
fully sustained their reputation for musi
cal talent.

lIETING IT JOLLYTOTN.
A ttLOOIOV,ININIONSTIIATION!
Msssrs. Jones & Jennings :—Agree
ably to previous notice, the Democ
racy of Gilmore and neighboring
toWastrigs met in Mass meeting at
Jollytown i on Tuesday September,
the 15th, 'AO, and I may safely
say that it was one of the farg.est
and most harmonious meetings that
I ever attended in the tapper end of
the county,
Early iu the day the roads were
thronged with wagons, filled to an
overflow: the wagons were well dec
orated with hickory bushes, the old
time-h - onored emblem of Democracy,
beautiful flags were displayed, rep
resenting by the number of stars on
their folds, all the States in the
Union, Martial Bands of music
which made the bilk ring with
patriotic airs, shbuts and cheers
went up for Viood ward,, Lowrie, and
the whole Democratic Titket.—
About 12 o'clock a large delegation
came in from West Virginia, headed
by a fine amid of Martial music: this
caused the air to be rent with cheers
and greetings, that the Democracy
could meet their friends once more
on Mason's and Dixon's line, and
discuss the issues of the day, as they
have done in days gone by. At one .
o'clock the whole crowd were formed
into procession by John P. Morris,
Esq , headed be Capt. Stoy's Brass
Baud, from Waynesburg, playing
Hail Columbia, the Star-Spangled
Banner, and other patriotic airs.—
The ladies turned out in their might,
about two hundred of them led the
procession. I presume about 600 ,
persons were in procession. The
procession repaired t o Ilagan's
Grove, where seats .lead been prepar
ed for the occasion. •
The meeting was then organized
ou motion. of Col. James S. Jennings,
by codling. GEORGE HENNEN,
Esq,.., to the- 4shair, after wuich the
meeting was• further organized by
the appoiatment of the following
ofV.eerit, via::

Jacob Eakin, Janes Burdine, Joseph
Carpenter, Alexander Campton, Geo.

Samuel Eakin.
' R. A. McCoNill.na. was- then called
upon to a.ldross the - me.e tiny:: he '
re
sponded to the call in an argiemen
tative speech, of about an hour and
a half, in defence of the Constitu
-1 Lion and the Union. lie gave
.a
history of the Democratic party iu
the past, how she had stood as a
wall of fire around the Constitution,
and bad made and preserved this
country for 80 odd years, and al
though the life's blood of the Con
stitution had been sapped, and the
country- distracted and divided, yet
the Democratic party could restore
the country, and bring peace, pros
perity and happiness to the land,
and he felt assured that the people
would soon give her a trial. Mr.
McConnell said that he :lad been for
a vigorous prosecution of the war
for the purpose ofcrushing the rebel
lion and restoring the Union and
preserving the Constitution, bur for
no other purpose was he for the war;
that be had acted in good faith in
supporting the President., and aiding
in raising volunteers while it was
prosecuted for the "restoration of
the Union as it was, ander the Consti
tution as it is." But if the war was
to be made on slavery, he was not
1 in. But he was now as willing as
ever to prosecute the war for its
original purpose ; be spoke of the
gallantry of our brave boys in the
field, hoped that the war would soon
i be over, and our brave boys return
1 to their peaceful homes, and spend
balance of their days in a united
country. It would be doing the
' the speaker injustice to attempt to
give his speech in full, but it was one
1 of Bob's happiest efforts.
i I David Crawford was then loudly
' called for and in answer to the call
took the stand, and entertained the
crowd for about two hours, in a strain
of eloquence and sound argument
that did credit to himself and the
country. Mr. Crawford said that ho
had always been in for free speech,
free press, free discussion, and a free
ballot box, and that he claimed the
right as an American citizen to scan
and criticise the acts of our rulers,
and as he claimed this right for him
self, he was willing to allow it to
others, and while he to-day would
criticise the unconstitutional acts of
the present administration, in so d )-
ing he did not wish to embarrass the
Government in putting down the re
bellion, for he was in favor of a vigor
ous prosecution of the war under the
Constitution, to suppress this wicked
rebellion. le did not believe in de
stroying our Government, under pre
tence of preserving it. He conten
ded that the only way to preserve
this country and put down the rebel
lion. was to stand by the Constitution
and the enforcement of the laws,
and that any attempt to suppress the
freedom of speech and of the press,
thereby depriving the people from
discussing and criticising the acts
and measures of the administration,
was a flagrant violation of the funda
mental principles of the Constitution
and sapping the very foundation of
constitutional liberty, and an alarm- 1
ing and lamentable invasion of the
dearest and most sacred rights of the
citizen. The speaker said that while
he lived and had a voice to raise, he
would raise it in defense of those
rights; that the Constitution was too
near and dear to the American citi
zen to be- given. up under , the
plea of Military necessity, and
that the w 4, should be vigorously
prosecuted under the Constituton
for the suppression of the rebellion,
and the restoration of the Union in
its original' integrity that this was
the doctrine otthe Docioerstie par
4y. Themrpecirrr thowpreved tract
keptbileillt "astirei4Sy tbc . party in'
power bad violated the Constitut ion
in wile Wits most fundamental
provisiona- The suspension of the
writ of "Babeas Corpus," arbitrary
arrests, &0., and other violations ti)o
tedious to mention, but notwith
standing all these violations he ad
monished obedience to the laws, un
til they could be changed in a Con
stitutional war, He denounced
Jeff Davis as a vile traitor, said that
it was a lamentable truth that while
Jeff and his crew were seeking the
o*erthrow of the Government by the
forte-of arms, and boldly desiared
treasoa, that his allies north, the
Aboiititynists, had. violated the Con
stitution with iinlamity, under the
pretext of preserving it; and that
be believed that unless the Demo ,
eratic party could obtain. the power'
and arrest the Government from
them at the ballot-box, that the
present form of Government would
be entirely lost.
The speaker spoke of the patriot
?sin of Gem. McClellan,- anti , the many
hard fought battles that kre had won.
The speaker closed ley calling on the
crowd for three cheers for the Con
stitution and the Union, which were
given with a will, after which the
meeting adjourned. This was a
glorious day for the Democracy of
little Gilmore, her camp-fire are
now burning brightly', She will
give a good account of herself an the'
second Tuesday of October next.
