HARRISBURG, PA
Saturday Afternoon, July 5,1562.
Picarocrarra STILL ABOUT.—A gentleman from
Delaware county had his pocket relieved of a
vallet containing a considerable sum of money,
while attending the Democratic State conven
tion at the Capitol yesterday.
Tun ATTKNTION of the supervisors of the
Sixth ward, is directed to one or two large
ditches on the Ridge Road, about midway to

its travel by vehicles as well as pedestrians.
REV. JAMES COLDER Will preach in the Baptist
Church, to morrow (Sunday) afternoon at half
past three o'clock, the trustees of that Church
having kindly tendered the use of their build
ing to kir. Colder's congregation until a suita

A PRIVATE LETTER FROM CAPT. ISAAC) S.
WATERBURY, received in this city this morning,
direct from Edisto Island, S. C., reports the
men in his command as being In good health,
and as mustering one hundred strong on roll
call for duty. This is gratifying news, as no
set of men in the army, from the captain
down, have warmer friends in this city, than
those composing this company.
Es ROUTE FOR M'CLRLLAN'S ARMIL—Gen. E.
W. Mitchell, whose name has been before the
public frequently in connection with his daring
adventures among the guerillas of the rebel
army in the south-west, arrived here in the
fast line from Pittsburg, at Eol- a m., and left
in the 7i o'clock train over the Northern Cen
tral Railroad for Baltimore, and thence to
Washington. Gen M. is a man of small sta
ture, elderly in appearance, his hair sprinkled
with gray, wiry and compact frame, and bears
upon his swarthy features unmistakable evi
dences of an iron will and indomitable courage.

FLAG RAISING AT THE DAUPHIN COUNTY POOR
HOUSE 111.u.t.—Our country friends in the neigh
borhood of the Dauphin county poor house had
quite a patriotic time yesterday, the occasion
being the raising of a large and handsome
American flag over the poor house mill by the
miller, Mr. Peck, at whose expense it was pur
chased. A laige number of country people
were present, and the assemblage was organized
by the appointment of Joshua Elder, Esq.,
president, Peter Bishop, Jr., and John Peipher,
vice presidents, and John Moyer, Secretary.
Speeches were made by Joshua Weistliog, A. C.
Smith, W. Ewing, and S D. Ingram, Esqs., of
this city, and a good time generally prevailed.
The ceremonies of the day wound up in the
evening with a very beautiful display of fire
works.
ONE OF THE INCIDENTS of the late locofoco
convention id shown in the consistent manner
in which our glorious friend Jacob Ziegler sup
ported a good man for Auditor General. Jacob
voted for Ziegler steadily, consistently and en
thusiastically. He assured the convention that
he had been acquainted with the same Ziegler
for many years—always found him generous
and steadfast, and therefore Jacob could not
conscentionsly change his vote or desert Ziegler.
He was right, and we endorse all the good
things which Jacob can utter of Ziegler. If
the Democracy had nominated Uncle Jacob,
every widow in the state would have prayed for
his success, and every "milk drinker" gloried
in his triumph. But the convention had not
as high an opinion of Ziegler as Jacob showed
the aforesaid Ziegler sticking to hts man, and
therefore he failed to get the nomination.
Buz REBELS. —We have it from reliable au
thority that there is a trio of she rebels in a cer
tain locality in our city, who take occasion to
sputter out the most offensive and blasphemous
secesh twaddle and fish market language, on
every occasion when Union sympathy and
Union energy are made the all-absorbing to
pics by loyal and respectable American citizens.
In the notoriously loyal (according to the Patriot'
correspondent) city of Baltimore, these impru
dent and shameless she rebels are watched and
summarily dealt with by police officers ; and
we see no just reason to discriminate between
rebels of either sex in any community. Let
every sincere lover of his country, and her
glorious flag—of her noble institutions and the
manifold blessings guaranteed alike to rich
and poor, great and humble—let every loyal
citizen in our city keep an eye to that notori
ous class of people, and public opinion openly
expressed, will put the blush of shame upon
the brazon countenances of those deluded spe
cimens of humanity, if they are not altogether
lost to a sense of honor or common decency.
Gov. Cuarix arrived at Harrisburg late on
Thursday night last, and yesterday morning
be was in the Executive Chamber very early,
busily engaged in receiving offers of troops,
preparing plans for the enlistment of the new
quota, and issuing orders to different parts of
the State, for the purpose of securing the imme
diate and hearty co-operation of the people in
filling up the new demand for troops. While
thus engaged, we could not fail to note that
the man was also suffering from the effects of
his late terrible surgical operations ; but not
withstanding which he was bouyant and cheer
ful, and apparently as full of energy as he was
when in possession of full physical strength.
His proclamation summoning the people to
arms, was written and telegraphed to all parts
of the Commonwealth, early in the day, and
the plane proposed and adopted, after the de
liberation due to their importance, are now in
operation.
It will become necessary for Gov. Curtin again
to place himself under the care of his physi
cians, but in the meantime his care of the
military interests and organizations of the State
will be unabated, so that there need be no ap
prehension as to Pennsylvania being the first
now, as she was heretofore, to fill up her quota
of troops in a manner at once satisfactory to
the national administration and conducive to
the national OfetY•

ations, by Charles Grobe, and the " Paturnal
Word," are among the new sheets of music just
oeived by WM. KNOORE, 98 Market street.
BROKE ars Anx.—A lad named Schenk, whose
parents reside in the Sixth ward, had one of
his arms broken yesterday by falling from a
cherry tree. The broken Binh was set by Dr.
Egle, and the patient is doing as well as could
he expected under the circumstances.
COULDN'T RIEBLST TR& TEMTATION.-OD Thurs
day last, at Tyrone, after Van Amburg's pa
villion had been erected, a couple of " country
gentlemen," with their " garls," entered the
ring intended for the performing animals, and
indulged in a regular " hoe down," to the
music of the brass band. A middle aged lady
who atcod by, with a "responsibility," resting
in her arms, gazed upon the scene until she
became excited, when she sung out to a friend
—"Sally just come and nuss my baby till I
take a dance !" and away she went instanter
over the rope, into the ring, and round and
round in a style that would almost have eclips
ed the performance of an adept in that busi
ness.
ExEacrsz.—ln hot weather we are very little
inclined to take exercise, and some think we
do not require it during the warm season,
when the fact is, that those of indoor and se
dentary habits require a certain amount of
exercise—more in hot weather than in cold,
for several reasons, one of which is, that the
external heat tends to drive the wastage of
the body to the stomach, which produces fever,
disarrangement of the stomach, debility, &c.
Whereas, a proper degree of the right kind of
exercise brings all the muscles into use, and
consequently produces an internal warmth,
driving the wastage to the surface, and thus
freeing the vital organs from this extraneous
matter, leaving you buoyant and cheerful.
This desirable condition can be had by exercis
ing from twenty minutes to one hour three or
four times per week.
OUR DEAD.—Who can tell the agony of feel
Ing which has existed for several days in the
breasts of wives, mothers, friends, of those
who left us but a few months ago in health,
but now who may be lying cold in death, slain
by the hand of an enemy in war. The torture
of uncertainty attending the absence of an
enumeration of the casualities occurring in the
action in which they were engaged, has been
dreadful. What sad uncertainty—what a hard
lesson. Some hope, but mingled with anxious
fear. If the name of a dear one, a husband, a
father, a son, or a brother be found among those
reported dead, crushing as the blow may be, its
force can be measured, the worst is known.—
But who shall tell the woe of the woman who
reads the name of a loved one in either of the
lists. If wounded how is the mind racked,
and the heart tortured. And the report " miss
ing" is, if anything, more terrible still. He
may be prisoner, and may return. He may
have been so mutilated as not to be recognized
—may have bad just strength enough to crawl
out of the way and die in some obscure epot,"
where only the filthy bird that scents the battle
from afar, shall, by the stoppage of its lazy
flight, point out his resting place. Many a one
reported " missing," meets such a fate as this.

ARREST OF ME ROBBER OF RICHARD ASHOBAFF.
—Our readers will recollect the case of Richard
Ashcraft, the lumberman robbed in this city,
about two weeks since, of $437 by a colored
woman named Elizabeth Holmes, with whom
he had been keeping company. A warrant
was issued for Elizabeth by Justice Beader, be
fore whom the information was made, but
somehow or other she continued to elude the
vigilance of the officers, until the early part of
this week, when Officer Fleck received such
information as led him to believe that the fu
gitive could be found in Pittsburg. He ac
cordingly proceeded to that city at noon last
Thursday, and aided by the local police author
ities of the place, succeeded in arresting her
among a lot of oolored people residing near the
Monongahela river. She at once confessed all
she knew about the affair, and said that while
she entertained Ashcraft on the night of the
robbery, the money was stolen from him by a
colored man named Jake Jones. Upon receiv
ing this information, Officer Fleck telegraphed
the fact to this city, when Jones was arrested
and lodged in prison to answer. The officer
himself returned home this morning with the
colored woman in custody, and she was also
committed for trial. None of the stolen
money has been recovered.
CHUM MURDER. AT THE DAUPHIN COUNTY POOR
HOOSE.—Alderman Kline was called this morn
ing to hold an inquest upon the remains of a
female infant about four weeks old, alleged to
have been murdered by its mother, a German
woman named Caroline Miller, who formerly
resided in River alley, this city, but at
present is an inmate of the Dauphin county
poor house. The testimony elicited by the in
quest went to show that the deceased and its
mother retired to bed in apparently good
health, at the usual hour last night, and that
between the hours of two and three o'clock
this morning, one of two • other women who
slept in the same room was awakened by the
cries of the child, as if in distress, caused by
strangulation, and upon getting up she found
it in the arms of its mother, who was handling
it in such a manner as to create the belief that
she meant to cause its death by strangulation.
Her room mate remonstrated with the moth
er, and threatened to call the steward, to
which, however, she paid no attention, but
'continued her singular conduct. Her com
panion then left the room to get a light, and
when she returned she found the infant lying
quite dead on the bed, its face resting on the
I pillow, with blood oozing from its mouth. The
woman instantly gave the alarm, and upon
searching for the mother of the child, she
was discovered in the act of ascending the
stairs to the garret of the building. She was
Immediately arrested by the steward, and
asked to give an explanation of the matter,
but her answers were indefinite and unsatisfac
tory. She admitted, however, that she had
struck the child. The jury, after hearing the
testimony, returned a verdict of "death by
strangulation," and ordered the arrest and
imprisonment of Its mother.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONTENTION
The annual State Convention of the Demo
cratic party convened yesterday at ten o'clock
A. M., in the hall of the House of Representa
tives, and was called to order by Hon. W. H.
Welsh, chairman of the State central commit
tee.
On motion of Mr. Searight, Gen. George W.
Cass of Allegheny was called to the chair.—
Messrs. Jacob Zeigler, T. H. Purdy, A, J. Gar
rettson and T. W. Sutton were appointed tem
porary secretaries.
The roll of delegates was then called and the
names of gentlemen entitled to seats, duly
registered, the cases of several disputed seats
being referred to a special committee of five.
This com 'dace afterwards reported that no
claims had been submitted to them, all con
troversies in regard to the right of holding
seats having been amicably arranged between
the parties thereto.
On motion of Mr. C. L. Ward, the rules of
the last House of Representatives were adopted
for the government of the convention.
Mr. Gilmore, of Fayette, submitted a reso
lution relative to the further organization of a
body, which was amended on motion of C. L.
Lamberton, Esq., of Clarion, passed finally, as
follows:
Resolved, That this Convention do now pro
ceed to the election of a permanent President,
and that committees on permanent organiza
tion and resolutions be adopted by the designa-
tion of one member of each committee by the
delegates from the different Senatorial districts
respectively, which latter committee shall be
authorized to report to the Convention for its
action resolutions expressive of the views and
opinions of the Democratic party of this State.
It was further resolved that all resolutions
indicative of the sentiments of members upon
questions of national policy should be referred
to the committee on resolutions without debate.
A ballot was then taken for President of the
Convention, resulting in the selection of Hon.
Francis W. Hughes, of Schuylkill ; the next
highest candidate being the Hon. Richard
Vaux, of Philadelphia.
The President was escorted to the chair by
Messrs. Vaux and Hepburn, and returned his
thanks for the partiality of the Convention in
selecting him to preside over its sessions. In
view of the fact that the appointment of a com
mittee on resolutions bad already been deter
mined upon, he refrained from the expression
of any political sentiments.
A recess for ten minutes was taken after
which the names of members selected to con
stitute the committee on permanent organiza
tion and resolutions were handed in.
The Convention then adjourned till three
o'clock, P. M.

READING OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
By request of the Convention,Jacob Ziegler,
Esq., read the Declaration of Idependence, at
the conclusion of which a vote of thanks was
tendered that gentleman, as an appreciation of
his elocutionary effort.
On motion, each member of the body was
assessed twenty-five cents, (the customary
amount,) to pay expenses attending the con
vention.
The committee on resolutions having con
cluded their labors, reported through their
Chairman, Hon. Arnold Plumer, of Venango,
the following series of resolutions, which were
read by one of the secretaries, Col. Jacob Zeig
ler :
WHEREAS: The American Constitution was or
dained and established by our fathers, in or
der to form a more perfect Union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to
posterity, therefore
1. Resolved, That the only object of the Dem
ocratic party is the restoration of this Union as
it was, and the preservation of the Constitution
as it is.
, . . .
2, Resolved, That to the end that the Union
be restored and the Constitition and laws
enforced throughout its whole extent, we
pledge our hearty and unquallified support to
the Federal Government in the energetic pros
ecution of the existing war.
Resolved, 3. That the true and only object of
the war is, to restore the Union and enforce
the laws ; such a purpose alone is worthy the
awful sacrifice which it costs us of life and
treasure ; with such a purpose alone can we
hope for success, and those who from sectional
feeling or party or private motives would give
any other direction to the efforts of our armies
are unjust and unworthy to be entrusted with
power, and would cause all our exertions, ex
traordinary and unparalleled as they are, to
to prove futile la the end.
4. Resolved, That we justly view with alarm
the reckless extravagance which pervades some
of the departments of the Federal Government,
and that a return to rigid economy and ac
countability is indispensable to arrest the sys
tematic plunder of the public treasury by fa
vored partizans ; and that, in view of the re•
cent startling developments of frauds and cor
ruptions at the Federal metropolis and through
out the country, we hold an entire change of
administration to be imperatively demanded.
5. Resolved, That the party fanaticism or
crime, whichever it may be called, that seeks
to turn the slaves of the Southern States loose
to overrun the north and enter into competi
ting with the white laboring masses, thus de
grading and insulting their manhood by placing
them on an equality with negroes in their oc
cupation, is insulting to our race, and merits
1 our most emphatic and unqualified condemns-
I
6. Resolved, That we denounce northern abo
litionism and southern secession as the co-opera
tion sources of our present calamities, alike
treasonable to the Constitution and inimical to
and a respected Constitution, with r eturning
way to a restored Union
the Union. The only
peace and prosperity is through the overthrow
ing of both.
7. Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania is equally opposed to all sectional legit,
lation and geographical parties, which base
MI
SECRETAILID3
RESOLUTIONS
their hope for continued partizan success on the
agragrianism of emancipation and hypercritical
philanthropy abolition : because neither is
known to the Constitution, and both are in
tefided.tto' aid in subverting the Constitution
and to prevent the restoration of unity, peace
and concord among the States and the people.
8. Resolved, That the Constitution and laws
are sufficient for any emergency, and that the
suppression of the freedom of speech and of the
press, and the unlawful arrest of citizens and
the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, in
violation of the Constitution, in States where
the civil authorities are unimpeded, is most
dangerous to civil liberty, and should be resist
ed at the ballot box by every freeman in the
land.
8. Resolved, That this is a government of white
men, and was established exclusively for the
white race, and that the negro race are not en
titled :to, and ought not to be, admitted to po
litical or social equality with the white race,
but that. it is our duty to treat them with kind
ness and consideration as an inferior and de
pendent race ; that the right of the several
Stang to determine the position and duties of
the race is a sovereign right; and the pledges
of the Constitution require us as loyal citizens
not to interfere therewith.
10. Resolved, That Congress has no power to
deprive any person of his property for any
criminal offence unless that person has been
first duly convicted of the offence by the ver
dict of a jury, and that all acts of Congress
like those lately passed by the House of Repre 7
sentatives, which assume to forfeit or confiscate
the estates of men for offences for which they
have not been convicted by due trial by jury
are unconstitutional and lead to oppression and
tyranny. It is no justification for such acts
that the crimes committed in the prosecution
of the rebellion are of unexampled atrocity,
and there is no such justification as State necessity
known to our government or laws.
11 Resolved, That the Constitution,the Union
and the Laws must be preserved and maintain
ed in all their proper and rightful supremacy,
and that the rebellion •now in arms against
them must be suppressed and put down ; and
that it is our duty to aid in all measures neces
sary and proper to that end.
12. Resolved, That the soldiers composing our
armies merit the warmest thanks of the na
tion. Their country called, and nobly did they
respond ; living they shall know a nation's
gratitude, wounded a nation's care, and dying
they shall live in our memories and monuments
shall be raised to teach posterity to honor
the patriots and heroes who offered their lives
at their country's altar. Their widows and
orphans shall be adopted by the nation, to be
watched over and cared for as objects truly
worthy. a nation's guardianship.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
The convention then immediately proceeded
to nominate candidates for Auditor General
and Surveyor General, to be voted for at the
next fall election.
The first and sixth ballots for a nominee of
the party for the former office resulted as fol
lows :

man of the body, Hon. F. W. Hughes be ap
pointed chairman of the State Central Commit
tee, with power to appoint the members thereof.
;.he Convention: then adjourned sine die.
An informal meeting of the body convened
at si o'clock in the hall of the House,
when several addresses were delivered ratifying
the nominations. •

A MODEL Earanitanmerr.—Among the many
improvements lately made in our city, to which
we can point with pride as an evidence of pros
perity and as a determination on the part of
our business men, no longer to remain behind
the " light house," is the completion of Eby
& Kunkle's large brick building at the corner
of Market and Fifth streets, which is alike
creditable to the owners and ornamental to that
part of our city.
The building is not only one of the largest,
devoted to the grocery business, outside of New
York, but the stock ch Menges competion.—
Without going into detail, we . may safely say
that the firm keep on hand everything usually
kept in a grocery store, (liquors excepted,) and
that they sell at very small profits. Their
clerks are civil and accommodating, and have
strict instructions under no circumstances what
ever to misrepresent or take advantage of any
customer. A general invitation is extended to
the public to visit the new building and exam
ine the extensive stock, whether they purchase
or not.
