c_flepartmtitt. X 0 THIIkI : H OF RIDGE LINDSEY I Our unity was startled on Friday morning last, by the announcement that Judge LINDSEY was dead! His demise took place at his residence, some six miles west of this place, about the middle of the previous night. I wail known to but few that he had been unwell. He had held Court at Wash ington the previous week, from which he re turned, it seems, quite unwell, just a week previous to his death. He had what was re garded as a slight attack of Bilious Fever, before he went to Washington. After his re turn he rapidly become worse, but no one seemed to apprehend a fatal termination, till .quite near the period of his death. This sullen demise of Judge LINDSEY has thrown a gloom over our entire community. Ifehad a wide circle of relatives, and yot a much wider circle of attached and dwoted ,friends. In the social circle, as a citizen, 414 .Judge of the Court, his death creates a • : .ful void. He had not yet reached the ,of life, nor the full vigor of manhood-bging less than thirty-seven years of age—at the tune of his death. Long • years of matured :usefulness seemed yet before him ; but death, inexorable in his dearees,- had otherwise ! How true, in regard to all of us, is the lan guage of the poet : A few months may—a few years must, Repose us is the silent dust ! Judge Lindsey had been on the Bench about four years at the time of his decease. On account of his youth and apparent inei perience, he entered upon the discharge of his duties as Judge, with some distrust on the part of some of his brethren at the bar, as well as the community, to whom he was to administer the law, but he rapidly won the confidence of both and, it is believed that, at the time of his death, but few, if any, of our Judges, had to a greater extent, the confidence and respect both of Bar and peo ple. This is not the language of eulogy, and those who know him aefl know the facts, will recognize the literal truth of the repre sentation. He iad a vigorous and well bal paced mind, rapid in its operations, and ca pable of mastering, apparently, without ef fort, the most intricate questions presented for solution, and a happy facility, both as an advocate and as a Judge, in conveying to a Jury the conclusions to which he had arrived. Bar Meeting. At a meeting of the Bar of Greene Co., Pa., geld at the office of Buchanan & Wyly, In Waynesburg, on the 2d of September, inst., in reference to the death of the Uov. JANES LINDSEY, President Judge of this judicial district, the followirg proceedings were had. Upon motion of R.. W. Downey, Esq., John C. Flenniken, Esq., was called to the chair, and R. A. McConnell, Esq., elected Secretary. After stating the object of the meeting, C. A, Black, W. E. Gape'', and A. A. Pur man, Esq's., were, upon motion, appointed a ,corainictea to prepare resolutions and pro ,cee&ings for the consideration of the meet- Jpg. Whereupon the meeting was adjourned ,t,o meet again on the evening of the same Aity. Agreeable to the adjournment, the mem bersod the Bar again met, when the follow ing preamble and - resolutions were reported by the Committee•—which, upon motion, were unanimously adopted. WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God, in his infinite wisdoin, to call the Hog. JAMES LINDSEY, suddenly and unexpectly from the active scenes of life, it becomes us, his professional brethren, to give an ex pression of our appreciation of his eminent worth and ability ; and to tender to his friends and the public, our sympathy, for the great less they have sustained. When the aged fell, in the fulness of their days, like well ripened trait from the bough, pur regrets are tempered by the just reflec tion, that the usual span of life has been traversed, and death seems a fitting end to their feeble existence. But when the com paratively young and gifted, are thus early called away from earth, when surrounded by every reasonable goott and with the future EP full of hope and promise of increased use fulueas, it is difficult indeed, to suppress the re g ret that life was so soon terminated. The bxpression of our grief, Lowever unavailing, may have its use, in stimulating the living to emulate the high character left. us by the dead. called to the bar at an early age, our de eased friend and brother soon gave evidence of great natural talents, and at once took the position of an able and eloquent adto cite—always sealous and true to his client, but kind -and courteous to the counsel and parties in opposition. And when, after a short but successful career at the bar, he was elevated to the bench, he at once arose to the level of its duties and responsibilities, 04 exhibited those rare judicial qualities, 'which rendered him go popular and accepta ble to the district. Patient and assiduous in the trial of causes—kind and indulgent to the parties concerned, yet with a hrm pur-: pose. to administer the law impartially—with itnatural aptitude to seAze upon the true points of a case, and with a happy and fe licitous mode of expression, his entire judi cial career, was marked by thoSe traits, which ever constitute the able and upright judge. T4Ur'et.°4'el Resolved, That tu the Anilines with which our deceased brother was connected, we ' tender our deepest sympathy. They have lost one for whom, when living, they could well be proud ; and now when dead, they may look with juss pride upon the good name he has left behind. 'To the public who have been deprived of his services, we Fan truly say, that we all have suffered a great, if not irreparable loss. .Roo/red, That we will attend the tuner al of the deceased in a body, and will wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days; and that L. L. Minor,E. M. Sayers, John Phelan, R. A. McCo nnell, Thomas Lucas, John G. Flenniken, William Bally, and R. H. Phelan, Esq's., act as pill' bearers.

THE SURRENDER OF FORT MORGAN. Particulars of the Bombardment. WASHINGTON, August 31.—T0 Major Gea. Dix :—This Department has recivL ed from Gen. Grant a rebel account of the surrender of Fort Morgan, taken from the Richmond papers : CITY Pomr, August 30.—The follow ing is from the Richmond Enquirer ofl this morning : 'MOBILE, August 'N.—The flag of truce boat returned last evening. The, Yankees say Fort Morgan capitulated ' at 2 o,clock last Tuesday. On Monday afternoon they concentrated their fire on the fort, when the bombardment was renewed spiritedly. In the meanwhile,l the enemy succeeded in getting their ! howitzers into position, and their line of skirmishers along the glacis of the fort opened a heavy fire on our guns and gunners, and with the assistance of the mortar fleet succeeded in damaging several gun carriages. The fort did not fire on Tuesday. Gen. Page de stroyed everything in the fort. and spik ed his guns. He and the garrison, numbering 581 men,, were sent to New Orleans. Seventeen were killed. The number of wounded is not known.— None of the non-combatants were al lowed to visit the city. The enemy have a strong force of 4,000 on the main land at Grant's Pass.

STANTON, Secretary of War NEW oiu September I.—The even ing Post Correspuiphia writes as fol lows : "Nimt ORLEANS, August 24.—The heavy bombardment of Fort Morgan, which began early on Monday morning, the 22d ult., was perhaps, the most se vere firing which has yet been directed against the rebel fortifications, except Fort Sumpter. The range was obtain ed previous to the opening of the can nonade on that day. so on the morning , of the 22d Commodore Farragut's flee including the flag ship and other large vessels, the monitors, the iLam Tennes see, and some blockading vessels took pat t in the bombaldment, in otwjunc tion with the land forces. They were landed on Mobile Point in the rear of l the fort and heavy mortar hatteries were planted within. The vessels were stationed on either side of Mobile point, and the fort was therefore invested on.) three sides. The firing from early I dawn till six, o'clock was rezular and ef fective, but shortly after that hour it be, came rapid and extremely heavy. The sight trona Fort Gaines and oth er points from which the joint opera I, tions of the fleet and laid forces could! be witnessed, covered the entire field, and the appearance of bombardment is described as most grand and stirring. The bursting of the heavy shells in the fort or over it was constant, and for four - hours the rebel garrison received in that way an average of one shell per' minute of time. The monitors fired at close range. Their aini was unusually good and the explosion of their 11 and 15-inch shells could be distinguished from the bursting , of the shells thrown by the other guns, which were of small er calibre. The liana Tennessee assisted in this action and did good service. The large vessels of the fleet poured in a con tinuous broadside and the rear of the fort. was covered by the fire of the ar my, The regular discharge of cs.NN non in various directions around the fortifi cations, the flying of shells and their loud and often simultaneous explosion cannot be adequately described. This rapid work continued till 10 o'clock, and then blackened somewhat but was kept up. Until this time the rebels, who were driven from their guns, did very little work. An officer who witnessed the heavy bombardment was able to distin guish but four shots from Fort Morgan, after. the principal work of the day be = iajoboni our batterriea. It dam rat appear that t t ite rebels had Any hope of • f = / Poor Richard's Reasons for buying United States Securities The other day we heard a rich neighbor say he had rather have railroad stocks than than the U. S. stocks, for they paid higher interest. Just then Poor Richard came up, and said that he had just bought some of Uncle Sam's three years notes paying seven and three-tenths per cent. interest. My rich friend exclaimed, "You! I thought you had no money to buy with." "Yes," said Rich ard, "I had a little laid up, for you know it l is well to have something laid up against a wet day, and I have kept a little of my earn ings by me." Now Poor Richard is known Ito all the country round to be a very pru dent and industrious, and withal, wise man ; for Richard never learned anything he didn't know how to make use of, and his wisdom and prudence had become a proverb. So, when lie took out his savings and bought the notes, more than one was surprised, and it was no wonder- rich Mr. Smith asked why. So Poor Richard, in a very quiet humble way —for he never assumed anything—replied, I‘ 6 l suppose, Mr. Smith, you know a great, deal better than I do what to do with money, and how to invest ; for I never had much, and all I got I had to work hard for. But I have looked round a good deal upon my neiglo4ors, and seen what they did, with their money and I will tell you some things I saw and what I thought , of it. One very rich man was always dealing in money, and he made a great deal, but was never satisfied without high interest. So lie lent most of his to some people who he though were very rich, at a very high rate; and he often told tire - much he got, till one da,y the people he lent to went to smash. Re got back about I ten cents on a dollar of his money. I know another old gontleman, who had sonic bank I stock and he went to the bank and got ten percent. dividend. The President and every- I body said it was the best stock in the coun try—paid ten per cent. But what did the old man do but sell his stock the next day ! Why ? why ? seid everybody. Because, it pays too mach. dieidend. And is, six months ) the bank went to smash. Now, that I know to he a fact. Well, Mr. Smith, you say rail road stocks are best, because they pay high dividends ? Can you tell how long they will pay them ? I like railroads. I helped to' build one, and I go in for useful things.— But I tell you what I know about them.— One-third of the railroads don't pay rmy div idend, and two-thirds (and seine of them • craked up, too,) do not pay as much as Gov- I ernmant stocks. Now that brings me to t 1 Government securities, and.l will tell ye , i why I prefer them. I take it you will ad mit, Mr. Smith, that in the long run the in vestment which is best should have these qualities ; Frst, it should be peVi.otly se cure: secondly, that the income should be on ijiwnt and pernia neat—not up one year ' and down the next ; and thirdly, that it should be marketable, so when your wet day I comes, and you want youi money, you can get it back. And I think these notes or bonds have got these qualities more than any other kind of personal property you can name Try it, "First, then, I have been looking into that great book you call the Census Statistics. I used to think it wasn't worth much ; bat since I began to study it, I tell you, I found a good many things very useful for me to know. I found out, by looking at the crops, and the factories and shipping, ktc., that we don't mean the Nebel States) are making ousand millions of dollars a year more than we spend. So you see that (since the increase of debt isn't half that) we are grow ing rich instead of poorer, as John Bull and the croakers would have us think. Then the lit will be paid, anyhow, no matter how lung the war is. Besides, did you ever hear of a Government that broke before the people did ? Look into your bright histories, Mr. Smith, and you will find the people break before the Govermhent. Well, then, I call that stock perfectly eneare. "Secondly, you want the income uniform and permanent. Well, I want you to take up a list of banks; railroads, mines, insur ance companies—anything you choose—and tell me (honor bright, now !)how many have paid a uniform income for ten or twenty years. Not one in a hundred, Mr. Smith, and you know it. "Now here is the Government will pay you without varying a tittle, Now I like something that gives me my income every EMI "Thirdly, yon want something which is marketable any day in the year. Now, if you will ask any bank President, he will tell you that Gomm - meat stocks are the only kind of property that is always saleable, be cause they will sell anywhere in the world. "Now, Mr. Smith, this is why I put my little savings in Government stocks. I son fess, too, that I wanted to help that dear old country, which is my home and my coun try." "I contes," said Mr. Smith, "I hadtet thought of all this. There is a great deal of sense in what you say, and I will go so far as to pat two or three thousand dollars in Uni ted States stocks. It can do no harm " We left Mr. Smith going towards the bulk, and Poor Richard returning home, with that cairn and placid air which indica ted the serenity of his dispobiti ni and the conciousness of doing right towards, his ectnp.- . try and his feliow mgt.

SATURDAY, SEPT. 24TH, 1864. -at) scrofulous contamination is variously ceased by mercurial disease, low living, disordered digestion from unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habits, the - depressing vices, and, above all„hy the venereal infection. 'Whatever be its origin, it is hereditary in the constitution, descending "from parents to childten unto the third . and fourth generation ; " indeed, it seems to be the rod of Him who says, " I will visit the irsicjai ties of the fath e rs upon their children." The diseases which it originates take various names, according to the organs it attacks. • In die lungs, Scrofula produces tabeseles, and &milk Consumption; in the glands, swellings which suppurate and become. ulcerous sores; inothe stomach and bowels, derangements which pro duce indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver com plaints ; on the skin, eruptive and cutaneous affections. These all having the same origm, require the same remedy, viz; purification aia invigoration of the blood. Purify the blood, and these dangerous distempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you can not have health ; with that " life of the flesh " healthy, you cannot have scrofulous disease. flyer's Sarsaparilla is compounded train the most effectual anti dotes that medical science has discovered for this afflicting distemper, and for the cure of the disorders it entails. That it is far superior to any other remedy yet devised_,_ is known by all who have given it a trial. That it does com bine virtues truly extraordinary in their effect upon this class of complaints, is indisputably proven by the great multitude of publicly known and remarkable cures it has made of the following diseases : King's Evil or Glandular S*elrinp, Tumors, Skop lions, Pimples, Blotches and Sores, Bey oipelas, Bose or St. Authori al !: Fire, Solt Bhemn, Scald geed, Co from ti berculons deposit' in the White Swe Debility, Drpsy, or Indigesta m f ecti m, n thilis and ftp ' tic Infections, Diesilla, gemak, Weaknesses, and, indeed, the whale series of complaints that arise from impurity of the blood. Minute reports of individual cases may be found in AYER'S Atm.:nose ALMANAC, which is furnished to the den to for gratuitous distribution, wherein may be learned the directions for its use, and some of the remarkable cures which it has made when all other remedies had failed to afford relief. Those cases are purposely taken from all sec tions of the country, in order that every reader may have access to some one who can speak to him of its benefits from personal experience. Scrofula depresses the vital energies, and thus leaves its victims far more subject to dittoes and its fatal results than are healthy constitu tions. Hence it tends to shorten, and does greatly shorten, the average duration of human life. 'The vast importance of these considers tions has led us to spend years in perfecting a remedy which is adequate to its cure. • This we now offer to the public under the name of ATER'S SARSAPARILLA, although it is com posed of ingredients, some of which exceed the best of Sarsaparilla in alterative power. By its aid you may protect yourself from the suffer ing and danger of these disorders. Purge out the foul corruptions that rot and fester in `the blood ; purge out the causes of disease, and vigorous health will follow. By its patellar virtues this remedy stimulates the vital fuse tions, and thus expels the distempers which lark within the system or burst out 04 any part of it. We know the public have been deceived by many compounds of Sarsaparilla, that promised much and did nothing ; but they will neither be deceived nor disappointed in this. Its virtues have been proven by abundant trial, and there remains no question of its surpassing excellence for the cure of the afflicting dimes it is in tended to reach. Although under the same name, it is a very different medicine from any other which has been before the people, and is far more effectual than any other which has ever been available to them. 4L - srztans CHERRY PECTORAL, The World's Great Remedy lbr Coughs, Colds, Incipient Con sumption, and for the relief of Consumptive patients in advanced stages of the disease. This has been so long used and so univer sally known, that we need do no more duo assure the public that its quality Is kept up to the best it ever has been, and that it mq , be relied on to do all it has ever done.
