the sun came - out hot, wliieh, with- the mud,
.made the sweat-start frotp insny who could
s 'stand the labor of the haytfiold without feeling
. tbs fatigue, that they didin.lUat march. About
noon we stopped in. a pltfasaut grove, to eat
a 1 few hard crackers
and a cup of coffee made|,Wr a fire of wet
wood, a dinner—although [l-don’t pretend to
know much about a sol(|fer’s fare, still I. do
know that a cop of coffee,(even if it be m aoe itf
n tin anp, has a most .exhilarating effect on
tired soldier. . ‘ | ;- ■■ 1
' While we were quietly ,enjoytng ourselves,,
after partaking of coffee (and hard; our
peace'of mind and.soon after of body also was"
greatly diminished by- tile appearance of at
orderly, whose horse .looked as though-he had
been traveling in the mofi ns well as we. He
was greeted by the whole ?egiment as a harbin
ger of rapid marching, ap'd in this we. were not
mistaken,* We afterward: learned, that the or
der was to burry us to : |tandon, as.thefe was
great danger in that direction. When we left
Greeteosstlo we were ientireiyignorant of the
cause of our being marched at such a rate, but
after coming here we learned thatit was on-ac
.count of a-rumor,'that ildetaohmept of rebel
cavslrywaa advancing itf i-lie dirfeotion of Mc
, : €aneUville, 1 intending tutaiiter the Oumbcihnd

1 have no doubt however, StSuJt that many wpulJ
have struggled on" a litfcl|l farther-if they had
been aware that a rod ofiponnsylvanin Wasln
danger of being once desecrated by the
foot of a'southern rebel-. Hi don't say ihjft any

‘ We, afeof, military tactielf-I don’t think there
are many-in ouf regitnentlbut would strjve to
’discharge faitbfaily the:duty they owe their
; country in the hopr of'battle,-should they be'
ealled tipon to meet the enemy in deadly'con
flict. “Soon after we reached Loudon the story
was contradicted, and all ' had to do was to
. locate outsolvds as best wVCould for the night.
- On the morning! of-th,e r 2Bth we received or
ders to march to our -presets 1 camp ground,- and
I venture to say a. more ijomantic and cleanly
• situation could not have been found any where
in this vicinity. It is q 'splendid Oak grove
which slopes gently tOwaW fte south, and is
about one mile, southeast iff the quiet, I might
almost say sleepy village of Lplidon. We aro
1 enclosed on all sides by |ho= mountains of the
Blue Ridge,.and the Tilings nestled among such
natural baifracka ’ seems ito, be entirely out ibf
reach of harm. But evpt this, quiet spot: is
not secure against the iMOads of the enemy,
and notwithstanding fha stair of contentment
that seems to pervade thd whole seene, many
of the inhabitants of tlta valley fear another
visit from the Southern ooivfilry. Many of the
people in this part of the [state are favorable to
the Southern cause, and would gladly welcome
Lee’s hordes baok to reap' the harvests of their
loyal neighbors. ‘ What can be,the reason for
j this base ingratitude is btiyond taf comprehen
sion. 'Everything that maij-isan .envy is theirs,
and yet they try to paralytV the arm that has
■protected them. lam glad to say, howWy,
• that those are the exceptions, and not the rule.
Since the' story •of invasion has been contra
dicted all has assumed fits usoal monotonous
;fone. Should- we have ao work to dp down

FOE COYEESOE, *
ANDREW G* CURTIN.
FOB JUDGE OF TdE SUPREME COURT,'
DANIEL AGNEW,
OF BEAVER COUNTY.
Republican Co. Convention, Aug. 28th.
Election of Delegates, August 22d.
It is with great satisfaction and renewed
hope for the future of the country that we an
nounce the re-nomination of ANDREW G.
CURTIN, by the- Union Convention Which as
sembled* at Pittsburg to-day jk week. If any
State Executive ever richly merited a re-elect
ion, that man is Governor has been
the right-hand man of tbe - Govermnent from
the hour when the assault upon Sumter electri
fied the North to the present hour. When the
country drooped under the disaster at Bull Run
he strengthened the arm of; the. Government by
pushing forward the Reserves, 15,000 strong,
to the defence of the papital. No requisition
upon Pennsylvania by (the General Government
has been ignored or dishonored. . He has man
aged State affairs with great skill, and history
will give him credit -for uptiring energy, wis
dom and forethought., To the soldier he ap
pears in the ®ght of a benefactor and faithful
friend. . His name is always and everywhere
coupled with praise by'the Pennsylvania sold
ier, and his presence in camp is an enthusiastic
inspiration. ■ •
Wclook upon Andrew G. Cdstin asintin-'
clble against the power and popularity of any
man, by what party soever championed, who
can be' brought against him. If every -loyal
man in .Pennsylvania but does his duty ifrom
this time until the polls close on the second
Tuesday in October, there cannot be less than
30,000 majority for Curtin and Agnew.
There was a man who had groat possessions.
His granaries, likewise his purse, were always
full to overflowing. "He waxed fat and kick
ed he grew careless of the vicissitudes that
•intrude themselves into the lives of other man.
And at! last he came to disregard the laws of
common prudence. ■
He suffered seed-time to come and go, and
sowed no wheat, neither did ha plant corn ; and
when liis neighbors remonstrated with him be
led them to his overflowing granaries and said :
“ BehMd how my fields have yielded in past
time, so that famine has gone afar from me,
and Plenty has made her permanent abode in
my house! Lo, am I not secure under her be
neficent reign?”
So., as. be would not listen to reason, his
neighbors weot away condemning the madness
of prosperity.
In- the summer time there came a great storm
and the lightning fell upon that proud man’s
barns and granaries, and consumed them to
ashes, with ail their stores. And the banks in
which he had deposited his treasure, failed, and
Plenty fled away'on the returning track of
Want; and in the brief space of" a day the
proud man found himself in the,pitiless em
brace of the ruin his neglect had courted-; and
in the bitterness of defeat he cried—“ 0 that
I had planted and sowed inseed-time, that my
lands might now entile upon mo with the prom
ise of harvest 1”
Loyal men of Tioga County"! Kind Provi
dence has given you nine years of local victo
ry ; you have "won every field fought for during
a decade ; you have fought the county foot by
foot, and the Vicksburgs and Port Hudsons of
Democracy have surrendered to*
your arms ; 'but you have the Charleston and
Kiehmond of most devilish Gopperheadism jet
to demolish. If at any moment you feel like
leaning reliantly upon past success, remember
the foolish man who rejoiced in full granaries
and neglected to plant and .sow. s
Republicans, and unconditionally-kyal dem
ocrats !c —for it is to such, and only snob that
we appealif there was ever a time when
sleepless vigilance and untiring effort was vital
and binding upon us, tbatjtime finds more than
a parallel in .the living lo'-day. Never before
have such dangers threatened, such issues pre
sented themselves for oar consideration and ac
tion. We cannot now sit: down and await the
operation of the law of,gravitation. There’is
no security 'except in increased vigilancp, no
success without "unremitting labor. There is
no other motto for earnest patriots, than this :
-He Wins Wuo Works!
It is not a matter of bare success in onr lo-
cal election'; nor is it whether Tioga County
shall-give Cdrtin end Agsbw a majority next
©dfober. , Of this measlire of success-our-op
ponents do not expect to cheat us. The" ques
tion now ia—Jfow large amajorily shall- Tioga
County rollup for its unconditionally loyal nom
inees, both State and local? That la the ques
tion we have to decide this fall.
Now who cannot see thata vote for Curtin
in this county, is nqgood as if cast for him in
Copperhead Berks, or Schuylkill ? If ws can
poll one hundred votes more. than were polled
last fall, by any extra vigilance or labor,"jt will
Count as' much in tbs Stats canvass as if that
added number of votes bad been gained In old
Berks. By a simple performance of .doty, and
nothing-mqre,-we ean, increase our ; aggregate
vole not only 100, bntfiOO. Shall we do.it ?—.

our strength ? What inducements I- Think ;*
moment; ask yourselves what would have been
the attitude. of Pennsylvania torday h&d tbe
pro-slavery traitors defeated Andie Curtin in
1860: Standing in the light of after develop
ments—with the bad faith of Horatio Seymour
on , the one hand and the record of the lost Cop
perhead legislature of this State on the other,
what sane man can doubt that Pennsylvania,
under Governor, would this day
be arrayed in hostility to the Government ?
Look back to the dark days that ensued open
the first Bull Bon, when Gov. Curtin threw the
gallant Reserves, provided by his foresight, in
to the trembling scale, and electrified the North
with renewed hope - and confidence; suppose
we had hud a Seymour-Vallandigharo-Wood
ward traitor for our Executive then, —what do,
you think would bare been the condition of
Pennsylvania to-day ?
While Lee was devastating the rich' valleys
of this State, the Convention that nominated-
Woodward was in session in the ,imminently
threatened State Capital; end while it hasten
ed to assure Vallandigham and his fellow-trai
tors of its sympathy and earnest co-dps ration,
it had not one word,of indignant fof the,
rebel leaders who were that moment teyyipg on
the property of peaeable fellow-citizens, and
threatening our towns with fire and sword. -
What if the Executive of this Commonwealth
had been a Woodward-Seymour-Vallandigham
sympathizer iu that trying hour ? Docs any
loyal man doubt that the State would have been
treacherously bended over to Jefferson Davis?
AUGUST 12, 1863.
Friends of freedom, arid law and order. I It
is precisely such contingencies that we bare to
provide against in going to the polls next Octo
ber. Were a rebel arm y knocking at our very
doors, it could not be more a question of secu
rity for our hearths and homes than it is in this
very campaign.
■ The prize is national existence. Let us strive
for it like men who can forget self in remember
ing their country. LET US TO WORE.'
11l Ml 111 FOR ERNTICBI!
This seems to -be the season of Union victor
ies. Kentucky has held a general election
since our last issue, with glorious results for
the Union. Beahletie, tbe Union candidate
for Governor, beats Wickliffe, Copperhead, by
a majority of 20,0001 We have likewise elect
ed a full Congressional delegation, which fixes
tbe complexion of Congress for two years to
come.' Hurrah for Kentucky 1
Oye Seymour-Vallandigham-W’ood'frar.dites 1
Don’t you see the handwriting on the wall?—
Even Kentucky spews you out 1 Tbe haughty
reign of the Wiekllffes is over, and Kentucky
begins to stand erect with something -trf ber
old-timo pride.
Tbe discomfitted Copperheads, are. foaming
over this defeat everywhere. They charge that
Gen. Bnrnside’s order, proclaiming martial law
in-that -Sente; was. an'act of higfitiandetj Tyran
ny. Now Gen. Burnside's order simply requir
ed every man suspected of disloyalty to'take
the oath of allegiance before depositing his
vote. The order oould only affect traitors; and
no loyal man or paper will findfault with it.
Pittsburg Convention.—Tlie Be*,
olntions.
We give herewith the platform adopted by
the Union Stale Convention which, nominated
Curtin nnd Agnew, at Pittsburg, last IFednes
day. Is it not a plain, unequivocal and patri
otic platform ? Contrast it with the cowardly
and traitor-sympathizing platform upon which
the Woodward icicle stands :
The loyal men of Pennsylvania, in. Conven
tion assembled, disclaiming all partisanship,
and knowing no cause but that of the-country,
derlaft for themselves and their constituents:
First. Their inflexible purpose to maintain,
by every necessary effort, service; and sacrifice,
the National Union, as the first, highest,’.most
solemn, and most overshadowing of all polit
ical duties.
Second. That the rebellion which threatens
the existence of the Union was without cause,
wob conceived in wickedness, organized-in per
jury, and developed by reckless violence,.is
stained with every, crime, and detestable in ob
ject, and infernal in purpose, and mast be 'sup
pressed by the people of the United States, at
the destruction of whose liberties end the -over
throw of whose free institutions it ie injuriously
aimed..[That in this momentous contest there
are and- can be hut two parties—one which
firmly sustains the' constituted authorities of
the nation in enforcing all the laws thereof, sod
in protecting the principle upon “which the
Government rests, and Is therefore at once the
party of law, of liberty, and patriotism:; the
other which cripples the constituted authorities
of the nation in enforcing the laws, securing
its safety, and preserving its life,' arnf is there
fore the parent of mobs, the ' enemy ot'gr?cr,
and,a participant in treaaon—the clkwhose
detestable practices not only give aid nad com
fort to the common enemy, but, as confessed at
Richmond, light up those days of .refaol ,dark
ness and -disaster,.and stimulate them -(ore
newed and desperate efforts to recruit their
armies and to. whom : a part is this day justly
chargeable whatever of vitality, the 'reballion
preserves, and whatever calamity and afffrctwn
:the further protraction of the contest may'in
volve.-- ' But ■ for Northern eympathifers with
Southern treason. and. the hopes which their
treasonable existence inspires,, the rebellion
would, have sunk under the staggering blows
dealtatfiettysburg, Vicksburg, and tort-Hud
son. - - -
Resolved, Tbst wholly without ■sympathy
for the, men who have made this war against a
free Republican Government, or for-a syateroof
human bondage, in whose interest it was insti
gated, 1 or cause of despotic principles to
which it is devoted, this Convention declare, all
engaged therein, while so engaged, to Re wor
thy only of onr patriotic hatred; and, in like
spirit,- we denounce as doubly recreant and
base those residents of loyal States who tele
rata this treason, and would affiliate with armed
traitors, and again surrender our Government
and liberties to their keeping.- 1 , , ■
■ Resolved, That'Abraham Lihflolh; President
of. the . United, .States . {apjii^a^i^r tfm sis

Union, and kept bur honor untarnished through
out the world [opplauBo),aad to him, this ad
ministration, its principles and its policy, we
give our. heartiest approval, and pledge our
earnest and enthusiastic support. [Loud ap

Resolved, That the amendments proposed td
the Constitution in giving to our soldiers in the
field the right of Suffrage, merit our hearty ap
proval, and will receive oar united support;
and that we recommend conventions -of loyal
throughout'the State td pledge all candidates
for the Legislature to-vote for it. ,
Resolved, That we tender to the gallant sons
of Pennsylvania now in the armies and navies
of the Republic, the thanks of a grateful people,
for their unselfish and heroio valor; that we
mourn for. those who,have seated with their
'blood their devotion to their country, and will
cherish their memories tenderly and fondly;
whileto the glorious survivors we give assurance
that the last dollar and the last life shall be giv
en to reinforce them, until the old flag'.fioats in
final victory. [Applause.] .
Resolved, That Governor Curtin, by theeffeo
tivesopport he has given the Federal Govern
ment in the prosecution of the war, and his
vigilant care for our soldiers, alike in the field,
in camp, and in hospital, has gained fofPenn-
Bjlvania; proud-, and foremost pre-eminence
among the loyal States, and entitled himself to
the thanks of all her loyal citizens, and in pla
cing him-again in'nomination the Convention
but gave expression lo the spontaneous wishes
of the people of the Commonwealth he has
served so well. We .present for their suffrages
the patriot statesman, who is alike the friend
of the soldier and the favorite of the people.
[Applause.]
Resolved, That in thp nomination of Judge
Agnew, we present an accomplished jurist, a
pure patriot, and a loyal citizen, who will adorn
the highest judicial tribunal of the Common
wealth, and give additional security to the
right of persons and property.
