muskets for minnie muskets, which, by the jway,
is a.good gun,.but it is not what we were prom

The republicans of long in the as"
Cendant in that State, ha4|ho magnanimity to
offer to suspend all hostilities during
the continuance of the wa]|,i and to unite with
the democrats in a Union ticket,
pledged to support the administration in put
ting down rebellion, and pledged to that only.
From (he course of the!democrats in every
other state and county wlptjre the Republicans
have a majority, such an offer’was expected to
be at once accepted, but jleaders of the demo
cracy there and everywhelp else, have not yet
given up the idea of- “ pcafce upon any basis”
no matter how humiliating* and so they through
their State Committee, declined this offer
Indeed this democratic committee goes so far
as to say that they ‘‘regard il as the duty of
•‘ the national government at all times to hold
“ out terms of peace and accomodation to the
“ dissevered states —that as our political system
“ was founded in Compromise and has been so
“ perpetuated, it can never be dishonorable in
“ any administration to seek to restore it by
“ the same means.”
Such is democracy. It refuses to sacrifice
party for the sake of the nation. It proposes
“ to, restore and perpetuate the larcenous policy
so shamelessly caricd out during the adminis
tration of the traitor Buchanan, and to compel
us to compromise with armed rebels.”
The forlorn hope of the Democracy still left
in this county.nre trying a different game.—
They are so much attached to the Union that
they wish the Republicans to abandon their or
ganization and hare but ore party,—a Union
partv—and of course these patriotic democrats
would make no objections to having half or
■even all of the offices. The same game is be
ing attempted in all the other counties of this
State ichcre the Republicans have a majority. —
BuUhow is it in counties where the Democrats
are in the minority ? Why in these counties
the Jesuitical loco focos are opposed to a Union
party to a man. In Columbia, Monroe, Elk,
and other counties the Jesuits laugh at a propo
sition for union with Republicans, and have
had, or will have nothing butsimon pure demo
crats to hold office.
The Republicans of Tioga County«an not be
decoyed into such a game as this. They know
that once successful, the democratic loaders
would sell them body and soul to the slave
drivers of the south. These same leaders who
are pulling wires with milk-and-water Republi
cans to sell out the party here and elsewhere,
are the same who have heretofore conspired in
directly against the Union by make cowardly
concessions to the hell-hounds who have now
got their knives nt the nation’s throat. These
bell-hounde who mjSrder the sick and
on the battle field-—less civilized than Gaman
ches—these incarnate fiends whom the demo
crats delight to call “our brethren of the >!>outb”
are just mow anxiously waiting for the
tion of u|nion parties, knowing well that if they
once got ithe Republican parly divided and dis
tracted, ; free government will be at nh end,
and (heir government will stand .triumphant, j
To honest nnd earnest Republicans—those
who believe that this government can nsseijt
itself—that it was founded to perpetuate free
dom and not slavery—to those we say: beware
of this insiduous game which the Jesuitical dem
ocrats are now playing in the name <jf the
Union. ‘ i
To the weak-kneed, weak-headed and ppc-rile
Republicans, who see in the? 1 Union game" a
chtinee for themselves to eonje to the top, we
THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOE.
say also beware. Yoti have been weighed and
found wanting, for otherwise you would not
trifle with your own liberties. When yon come
to the light (if you ever do) you will be weighed
and found wanting again. '
To all men—Democrats as well : as Republi
cans—we say, that our platform is broad, Com
prehensive, patriotic. It covers the whole
Union as our Fathers made it. _ If you wish; to
perpetuate freedom step on our platform : The
Union for the sake of freedom; the Constitu
tion and the war for its roaintainance until all
the rebels lay down their arms; and the en
forcement or the laws even to the hanging of
traitor leaders. That is the Republican Plat
form. All other platforms just now are fraught
with danger to the country.

A Fpooii.—The ruins of Monday night
and Tuesday morning; hare produced a fine
flood in Pine Creek, and all of our lumbermen
are “on theirAapa.” At sis o’clock on Tuesday
morning, Pine Creek was two fejt above rafting
height, and still rising. Oh the
dama/jt-was dohe to booms and bridges, and
the obstructions on the Tioga Kail Koad pre
vented our people from getting their New York
mails on Tuesday.
ggy Mr. Ira Patchin of llichmond showed
us last week an average hunch of heads.of winter
wheat (Soule’s) raised by him, which are deci
dedly tlio hestwe have ever seen. The hetids will
average 85 kernels, of a very superior quality,
lie also showed us some heads of timothy raised
on soil without manure which are excellent.—
His specimens of oats and spring wheat, though
good, are not'extra ; cither of theso specimens
can be seen at this office.
Jggf Me learn that the army worm has
made its appearance about Elkland on the
Cowancsque, and is doing considerable damage.
The little red bug seen upon wheat and oats
hereabouts does not appear to bo doing any
damage thus far. The agricultural newspapers
say that it is the forerunner of the Hessian fly,
and advise farmers to stack and thresh their
grain out of doors, ns if once taken into the
barn the By will continue for years.
BgL. Mr. Boxnet adverfiscing agent, has

much experience with the “ tribe” tube hood

yet. —Catskill Recorder and Democrat.
Was that your last rip, Joe? “ Do you want

8©“ The Republicans of Elk County in this
Judicial District held their Convention on the
Gth instant. Judge White was ro-nptninaied
for President Judge, nearly unanimously, one
town only voting against him. The Elk Advo
cate (Democratic) ihus speaks of Judge White:
i “ Hon. R. G. White is a candidate of the Re
publican party in' this Judicial District for re
election. lie has been upon the Bench in the
district for ten years, and so far ns this coun
ty is concerned, has given general satisfaction.
Judge While in his intercourse with the people
is free and-sociabie, and every one with whom
he has intercourse likes him ns a man and a
citizen. Upon the Bench, bo is fair and impar
tial—well versed in the law, and does his busi
ness as promptly and as efficiently ns any other
Judge in the state. As he is a resident in the
district, and possesses all the qualifications re
quisite to a good presiding Judge, we do not
think it necessary to go out of the district to
find one to take his plape. Without regard to
party feelings, we think the people could not
do better than to elect him fur another term, as
he seems to bo the only candidate of the Repub
lican parly in the district who is put forward
with any show of success.
In another column will be found a reply
to two editorials in last week’s issue, by our
esteemed friend “E. D. W.” We are glad to
be assured that-the Tribune did publish Sum
ner’s great speech in its weekly edition, but up
on referring back to our file of the Daily Tri
bune of June 6, 1860, we find only a synopsis o!
the speech, about a column and-a half long,
in its report of the proceedings of Congress.—
The “heartless paragraph” in the editorial of
the same date, wishes Mr. Sumner had not
made the speech upon the bill, for the admission
of Kansas, fearing that it might jeopardise its
passage. This is what we remembered. In other
particulars, our correspondent is correct.
.In regard to the Sunday battle, we still cling
to our already expressed opinion. Our Corres
pondent, and those who view the matter from
his stand point, can not know that Gen. Mc-
Dowell did not see a military necessity for at
tacking the Rebel forces just when he did. We
certainly can conceive that a"n exigency might
arise in military movements, where the safety
of an army would render on immediate offen
sive, attack upon its enemy just as plainly ftn
imperative military necessity ns to make a vig
orous defence against an attack—no matter
what the day or boor.As to the ultimate ef
fect of the battle, it is hardly questioned now
by intelligent men hut thafcit will be greatly
in oar favor. . p
! Hugh Young—Dear Sir.— Will you have the

Hoping that some of our experienced formers,
will give me on early answer through your
columns, I remain, Inquires.
We trust that some of our former friends
will answer one or more of these questions. In
this way much information, of practical value

Berdan’s Sharp Shooters. —Mr. B. S. Corey
is now in Wellsboro as a recruiting officer for
Berdan’s Regiment of Sharp Shooters. Each of
the Loyal States are permitted to~Vaise hut one
company of 101 men. The unvarying test of
membership, beyond passing the usual surgical
examination,‘is,that each man must make a
“string” of 50 inches, in ten consecutive shots;'
' in other words, the shots must not average more
than 5 inches from the center of the target to
the center of the ball hole. A late number of
the Tribnne says that of some' six hundred men
who have applied within the past fortnight only
eighty-three have been accepted, but of these
quite one-ihird have made strings of twenty inch
es ; one-third, of thirty inchef; and the bal
ance from forty to fqHy-five inches—all at 200
yards. One of Captain Dewey's men made a
siring of 12J inches in ten shots or an average
of an inch and a quarter from the center. It is
expected that the regiment will bo ready to lake
the field within thirty days.' The uniform is to
be of dark-green cloth, which will he worn in
the leafy season of trees, so ns to conceal the
wearers. An Austrian-gray overcoat will be
worn in Winter, and leggings of goat or calf
skin, tanned with the hair on, will protect the.
men from the brambles and underbrush through
which they will often have to force their way.
The arms are to be the Springfield and Tele
scope rifles, either of which is a terrible weapon
in the hands of such men as the Berdan Sharp
shooters.
A few men are wanted from this County who
can make the above shot. Mr. Corey will re
main here a few days. The company must be
ready to take the field by the 25th inst.
- B©* The Keeneyville Post Office. —The
Democrat of lust week whines over the removal
of R. P. Wilson ns Post Master at Keeneyville,
and says it was done “ because he was a dem
ocrat.” This' may or may not'be true. It
depends entirely upon the Democrat’s idea of
what constitutes democracy. Mr. Wilson was
removed from office because he was a blatant
traitor—because he was an open sympathizer
with the rebels—■because he emitted his vile
secession slime to the groat annoyance of his
neighborhood, and because his language and
feelings were as brutal and wicked as Jeff. Da
vis himself could wish, all of which the Demo
crat knows very well. This fellow, Wilson,
while acting as Post Master has been heard to
say that if obliged to go South he „would turn
upon the Union forces and shoot them instead
of the rebels. His father who was Deputy
Post Master, has been heard to say that Presi
dent Lincoln was gililty of treason, and “ought
to be tried and_shot. When told that the reb
els, after the j battle of Bull’s Run, had massa--
ored the helpless, Wounded, and sick, he said
he was d—d glad of it, and hoped they would
serve them so every time; that it was a d—d
abolition war, and the more barbarous the
Southerners vrere the better it guited him. tie”’
also said that all the Republicans this side of
h—l could not make him salute the Union Flag.
Now if such declarations constitute democracy,
then, the declaration that “ Mr, Wilson was
removed, because he was a democrat," is per
fectly correct. These declarations do not rest 1
on the testimony of one witness. They havd
been heard by many, Guests have left this man
Wilson's hotel; and rodo miles to another, be
cause of the o’utrageobV character of bis con
versation. He has been heard to say that the
Democrat had got to be a d—d abolition sheet,
atid that he would stoifit the first time he came
np to this borough; that he wanted a sheet
that wasn’t muffled, (whatever that means,)
and the New York A’etc/suited him best.
In regard to the declaration of the Democrat,
in exceedingly choice grammar, “ that one or
“ two persons living here, arrogates to them
“ selves the right to control the slppointments
“ of the national and state administrations,”
we have only |to reply that we know no such
persons. Wejdo know of four thousand Re
publican voters in this county who are determ
ined that, those who bold office under the gov
ernment.* shall be faithful and loyal to that
government, Jio mattter whether the salafy be
fifty cents or five thousand dollars, or whether
they agree or; disagree with the administration
in politics. 1 : :
One question: Does the Democrat endorse
this Wilson’s democracy; and if so ; is that the
kind of democracy which now seeks to form
a Union party with the Republicans fhr the
sake of the Spoils ? Let us hear 1

Saturday, August 3d, upon the'road between
Pittsburg and .Fyeeport, Bishop Bowman, un
accompanied by friend or stranger, suddenly
foil down dead.
“The Alleghany Yallcy Rail Road, upon
which the Bishop was (raveling, was obstruc
ted at two points, four miles apart. IVhen the
train had gone 17 miles from Pittsburg, the first
break in the ! traok was reached. Hero the pas
sengers left (he cars, and whilst some of neces
sity walked,,others were offered seats upon a
hand-car. The Bishop was invited to ride, but
unobtrusive nnd unselfish as he has always been,
he gave place to others. His strength was not
equal to the, task ho imposed upon himself, nnd
he was soonllefl behind by hiafellow passengers
to all of whbm he was unknown. When they
reached the-ears at the further side of the ob
struction, itl was remembered) that an elderly
gentleman with hid started with them from
Pittsburg, was not in their company. Mr.
Wright, the Superintendent of the road, the
only personjpresont to whom the Bishop was
known, at once took the. hand-oar, 4 and went
back to the 'assistance of the delayeilqiassengcr.
After going two miles, be found the Bishop by
the road-sit)e. prostrate, dead—the body un
harmed, the face tranquil nnd placid as ever.—
At once, the corpse was conveyed to Pittsburg,
whence loving friends carried it to Lancaster,
and thence; upon the following Tuesday, com
mitted it tenderly to the grave.
“Bishon Bowman was a pure, single-minded
find earnest man. The whole Diocese mourns
his loss. Throughout the Church, his memory
is revered as that of a laborious, meek a holy
Bishop.
“He died in the third year of (tis fcshoprlc,
the thirty-ninth of fits ministry; the sixty-second
of his life.”
“Blessed are the tletrtT who die in ihe Lord."
B©* Supposed Murder of a
Saturday afternoon last, as two small boys were
passing along by a branch running through
“ Trinidad Farm,” owned by W. W. Corcoran,
Esq., of this city, and situated near the H street
toll-gate, they discovered tho dead body of a
soldier, in a state of partial decomposition, ly
ing in the,water, with the face downwards.—
On Sunday morning. Coroner Woodward held
an inquest over the body. In one pocket was
found a pocket book-containingan Odd Fellow’s
certificate, stating that Joseph Hoyt, of Wells
boro Pennsylvania, was a member of Tioga.
Lodge, Kiji. 230, Pennsylvania. In tho pocket
book therfi was also a bill and receipt for a pair
of shoos; land, in another pocket, a snuff box
filled with fine cut-tobaoco. No money Or other
valuablesiwhatever were found on his person.
His head bore some slight marks of rough usage
though the body was too fir decomposed to
judge whether these were sufficient to have
caused death. Kn other marks of violence
could bo ascertained on any other part of the
body, lie was dressed in a cheek potton shirt
and blue cloth array pants, and doubtless be
longed to.one of the Rennsylvania regiments.
The Ju!ry in their verdict, stato-that they be
lieve, from the certificate found in bis pocket,
that his name is Joseph Hoyt, of Wellsboro,
Pennsylvania, and that bo came to his death
from sornc cause unknown to them.
It is fekred that he cijme to his death through
violence, though the decomposed state of the
body prevents the fact from being well estab
lished.— Washington Republican.
This is the melancholy record of the fate of
one who iwas recently among us iu life and
health.
The deceased was well known to nearly all of
our readers. He was frequently employed in
this office ns a compositor, and he was a fast
and excellent workman. When sober, fie was
a quiet, qnobtrusiye.and industrious man. Un
happily for himself and those with wham he
was connected, he was the slave of the intoxi
cating cup, and this wrought his ruin. Three,
Weeks ago he enlisted in Captain Sherwood’s
and'went to Washington to join his
regiment. It is thought that wan
dered out of Camp in a fit of delirium tremens
and thus died,
