E pa 4 Cdcgraft THE risorixs CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. FOR TILE AMENDMENT OF TILE CONSTITUTION GRANTTSO THE SOLDIERS' RIGHT TO VOTE. HAR.B.I.BIIIIR . G, PA TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1864 Meeting of Conferees. The Conferees from the counties of Dauphin, Northumberland, Union, Snyder and Juniata, appointed for the purpose of electing dele gates to the National Convention, will meet at Sunbury, Northumberland county, on Wed nesday evening next, May 25, for the purpose of discharging the duty entrusted to them. Faithless Officers Every man in the employ of the Govern ment, if faithful to his engagements, has as much, if not more labor than he can perform. The Government, crowded with responsibili ties, has scarcely any time to look after faith less officers. Presuming upon the integiity and patriotism of those engaged in the public service, and believing that all officials feel the necessity of promptness in an hour like this, those at the head of afairs have scarcely had time to look after the dereliction of their su bordinates—derelictions which have only been discovered by the aid of the urgent appeals of those personally suffering therefrom. We areled to these remarks by the statements of a friend, called forth by the appeal of a mem ber of the United States Christian Commis sion, writing from the field on the subject of the condition of the sick and wounded in the military hospitals. From this statement we learn that help is greatly needed in the hospi tals. Surgeons are particularly in demand, as the number in attendance is not only small, but the work is of such a character as to weary and break down those engaged, if they are not relieved for rest and repose. Yet, in the face of these facts, according to the state ments of our informant, there are now a num ber of idle surgeons in this city, absolutely wasting their time in frivolous pleasure while a sworn duty points them to their engage ments in the hospitals of the army. Rebuke and dismissal are not sufficient for men thus derelict of their duty. There should be a sterner punishment provided. The country and all that is sacred to humanity call for the application of penalties adequate to such criminality; and if these loafing surgeons re main in the city after these facts are made known through this medium to the com mander of the post, we trust that they will be promptly arrested and held to the strictest account. Let the example be speedy and se vere. A -True Republican We had the pleasure, yesterday, of meeting our young friend, Hon. L. W. Hall, of Altoona, who was in the city last week in attendance on the sessions of the Supreme Court. Mr. Hall has many friends in Harrisburg, at tached to him as well for his accomplish ments' as a gentleman as for his good parts - as a politician ; having, during a Sena torial term, established a reputation for abil ity and integrity as a legislator which older men would be proud to possess. In this con nection it is not out of place again to refer to a fact contained in our telegraphic columns a day or two since, that Mr. H. carried every township but two in his county as an indorse ment for Congress, having had as a compet itor a gentleman who, several years since, re presented the Blair district in Congress, and who is at the present time regarded as one of the ablest and most popular men in that part of the State. To secure a nomination in a' contest with such an opponent is' of itself a high honor ; but to win almost the unanimous indorsement of his own county, is a distinc tion which few aspirants to public position ever achieve. We congratulate Mr. Hall, as well on second% of his own success, as for the certaintS , that by his nomination the Biel.' district will secure a faithful representative in Congress. There are'few of our rising young men with more of the qualifications requisite for public station and labor than Hon. L. W. Hall. Goy. exams will open, in person, the great Sanitary Fairs to be held, respectively in Philadelphia and Pittsburg. The prepara tions for these great enterprises in aid of the soldiers, are on the most magnificent and extensive scale. That of Philadelphia, it is claimed, will exceed any. yet held in this coun try, and equal those ever held for any pn-pOse in the world. The buildings now being erect ed, are of a dimension capable of holding the structures lately used for the fair held in New York, and still leave room for the trans action of an extensive business. We antici pate a large profit to be derived from these two great fairs, as when the people of Pennsyl vania undertake to do anything it is with liberality and completeness. IT Is Now vitaLY understood, that the efforts of the copperhead pregs and leaders are divi ded between the success of the slaveholder's rebellion, and the schethes of the stock job bers in the large cities. Any exaggerating falsehood calculated to affect the stock market, it is also believed, will aid the rebel cause; and hence, whenever a copperhead organ devotes its columns to the promulgation of lies con 'mining our defeat in the field, or of state ments showing our inability to crush rebellion, the fact may be accepted that such sheets are either directly inthe pay of the rebel chief or they are sharing the plunder of the stock job bers. All this is a fair explanation as to, how some journals that we wot of, manage to exist. A MAGNUM= Naar Sonoor. HOCTS; 'at the corner of Twenty-third and Catharine streets, Philadelphia, called the "Andrew G. Curtin," met to have been dedicated to-day. "On to Richmond Under the above caption, B. F. Meyers. ed itor of the Bedford Gazette, (a sheet more sin cerely in the service of Jeff Davis than the Richmond Enquirer,) utters the following lan guage: At the present writing (Monday) the result of Grant's campaign against Richmond re mains in doubt. Already he has lost as many men as composed M'Clellan's entire army when that General marched up the Peninsula. The loss of the Federal army, according to telegraphic reports, cannot fall'iroich short of 100,000 men, killed, wounded and missing. There have been about thirteen days of fight ing, including the small battles fought by Gen. Butler, which would average the loss at about 8,000 per day. It seems to be the hope of Grant to crush his adversary rather by brute force than by strategy. As yet the fighting has been indecisive, the Federal troops having gained but one advantage, that of Thursday, the 12th, in which they took between three thousand and four thousand prisoners and thirty cannon. On the other °hand, Lee's army made large captures of pris oners in the first six days' fighting, and also took a number of guns. Six Federal Generals are known to have been killed, viz: Sedgwick, Wadsworth, Hays, Rice, Robinson and Owen. Seymour and Crawford are prisoners. With all these losses, however, Gen. Grant is still able to act on the offensive, and it seems now to be a mere question of endurance between the contending parties. A great many sensation rumors are constantly flying, and we caution our readers to believe nothing until it is well authenticated. The utter recklessness and falsity of the statements here made by this man Meyers, scarcely deserve notice. He lies deliberately and with malice aforethought, when he states that our lossess have reached " 100,000." He conceals the truth when he denies that Grant has gained no advantage over Lee. And when he claims that the batt!es thus' ar have been indecisive, he makes a most fool ish attempt to aid a failing cause at the ex pense of history. Mr. Meyers was in the House during the last session of the Legisla ture, and was always loud mouthed in pro claiming his devotion to the Government. But what is the devotion worth which de lights in depreciating the efforts of that govern ment to conquer or exterminate, if needs be,- a traitorous foe? We leave good men to answer. In this connection it is not out of place to state a curious fact, namely, that within the last four weeks, every copperhead organ in the country has been engaged in either ex aggerating our losses in the - conflict with the slave-drivers, of in depreciating our efforts to conquer the slave-holding traitors. There is a consonance in the tone of the copperhead press on this subject, which is at once surpris ing and startling. And yet while these hypo crites are thus poisoning the public mind and perverting the facts of history, they claim fo be loyal men. There is a day not very far dis tant, when such claims will be fairly adjusted. 330 iteregrap6. Specith ' Dlspatels to the Pennsylvania Telegraph. BY TRW. INLAND LINE. From Washington.

We take pleasuresin giving publicity to the following letter from the Secretary of War, which fully exonerates this company from any suspicion of the loyalty of its man ager, and alludes to the arrangements by which the company is to have a line from the Department, and a share of the public busi ness.

The satisfactory arrangements made by your company with this Department will, I hope, do much towards inspiring the public with a just confidence in your telegraphic line, and loyalty, prudence and discretion of its management.

The Railroad in Running Order THE MARCH TOWARDS RICHMOND THE 21ST PA. CAVALRY TO BE AN INFANTRY REGIMENT. WASHINGTON, May 24-3 P. The Star says the wounded are being brough away from Fredericksburg as rapidly as pos sible. The Acquia Creek and Frodmicksburg rail road is in running order, and the wounded are being brought from Fredericksbfirg to the creek by railroad, from which place they are shipped to this city. Several transports arrived here this 1.-m. having on board in the aggregate, one thou sand five hundred and ninety-ftve wounded from Butler. An officer from the ,front says it' is an established fact in the minds of the army, that we are to be in Richmond precisely on the 14th of June—the calculation we suppose being made on the basis of the rate of Grant's advance per diem. Grant has on many occasions struck out boldly, and abandoned his line of communi cations, and established a new one success fully, and he - will uudobtedlY be as brilliantly successful in this instance as heretofore. Port Royal on the Rappahannock some twenty miles below. Frederiaksbnrg. and• fif teen miles from Milford Station, would afford an excellent new base of supplies, and Rap pahannock, some forty miles below Freder icksburg, would afford yet another, in ease Grant shall need it in his further advance to wards Richmond. Belle Plain and also the road leading from Fredericksburg to Spottsylvania Court House could thus be abandoned, at any time, with out interfering with the supplies of the army. The 21st Pa. Cap-., Wm. H. Boyd, Col., had been made an infantry regiment. IFIi.OM CAPE TOWN. IMPORTANT .N EWE. NEW Ito=Ma' y 24. Adtiees from. the Cape of Good Hope to 7th April have been received. The Governor had proposed to.the Chem ber.of Cob:mance Of Cape Town therimposi don of tonnage duties. The increased tax ation on imports and exports was receiving much attention. Several serious mercantile failures are dark ly hinted at in .Cape-.Town-and`Port. Eliza beth. The cool season was i lover and the stocks tight. The Governor who had Ahown so much lukewartriness in the matter of. the sale of the Sea Bride, one of the Alabama's victims, has been, ;it is reported, reprimanded, by the Home Government. The money paid to Senimes for the Sea Bride was raised on forged papers, and one of these forgers has died of fright, while th e other is working out a five years' sentence. It is said that the Sea Bride, not having any papers, cannot be sold, and is a fair prize to the vessels of war of any nation that may meet her. : The India Times says it, is difficult to deter mine whose property Semmes has been de stroying, and if it turns out that he has de stroyed. English PrOPeity, it will make the nation the latgliiug stook of the world. .. • THE FLANK MOVEMENMT. LEE'S EIGHT FLANK EFFECTUAL= TURNED— OUR ADVANCE EIGHTEEN MILES SOUTH OF SPOTTSYLVANIA ON SATURDAY—LEE FALLING BACK—HARD FIGHTING EXPECTED. NEW Yana, May 24. The Times of to-day contains the following: Gunrs..t.'s STATros, May 21-7 P. M. The Army of the Potomac is again on the march toward Richmond. During the night, Hancock's Corps, which had held the left of our lines in front of Spottsylvania Court House, took up its march, moving on the road parallel with the Ny river. Early this . morn ing it reached Guinea's Station, on the. Fredericksbnrg and Richumond railroad, 12 miles due south of Fredericksburg. Thence it pushed onward, following the railroad, and to-night finds the head of Han cock's column at Bowling Green, eighteen miles south of Fredericksburg. The other corps have been to-day following the same general line, and the Fifth is now passing the point at which this dispatch is dated. You will observe from these indications that the Commanding General has effected a turning movement on the right flank of Lee, who is now hastily falling back to take, up .a fresh defensive position. It is expected that his next stand will be on the South Anna River, although he may endeavor to hit us while moving by the flank, just as he did when out flanked in his lines on, the Rapidan. . • Heavy firing ,, in fact, is this moment heard across the Ny, where one of our columns is moving. , A. mile south by west of Guinea's Station is the point of confluence of the Po and Ny Rivers, and at this point the stream is crossed by Guinea's Bridge, which is in our possession. The river south of the junction of the Po and the Ny is called by the inhabi tants of the country the Mattapony, although the Mat and Ta, its other two affluents, do not enter it 'till we -reach a point a dozen miles south of this. , Our army is now all gone from the front it has held before -Spottey4anitt Court House for the past two weeks,And.the lines of Spott sylvania pass into lustoris They are associ ated with fighting as desperate as was ever made by embattled foes, and by the greatest, valor on.the part of both armies. Its woods sepulchre .thousandi of. -bodies of brave men. perished, in the great cause for which this army marches and fights and suffers. You will notice by the map that our, present front, while it puts us in a very advantageous position in regard to the enemy, at the same time perfectly covers our communications, which are by way of Fredericksburg and Ac qpia Creek. The railroad will soon be open from Acquia Creek to Fredericksburg, and will doubtless be put in order south of that point as we advande: :There' are also several available points of water communication by the Rappahannock, as at Port Royal, &c., which will probably be used. I should misrepresent the conviction of the soundest heads in this army if I should con vey the impression that our progresS is to be now only a triurnhpal march. We, shall be met by the most, obdurate resistance which skill and courage on the part of the, enemy can command. But General Grant has given you the key-note of the sentiment of his ar my: we shall go through with this business, "if it takes all summer to do-it" Flood in the West. DENVER Crrv, May 22. Cherry Creek, which has been dry within and for several miles-above this- city since 1859, rtuddeniy . filled with water at midnight, on the 19th instant, overflowing the banks and submerging West Denver and doing im mense damage.. • • Fifteen or twenty persons ware drowned and about fifty dwellings swept away._ Large num bers of cattle and sheep were drowned: Among the buildings destroyed are the Rocky Mountain News office, City Hall and several other, such buildings. All the bridges across Pattee and Cherry creeks: are swept away, and a hundred farms above and below.the city with growing corn are completely ruined. . Some places are underneath water from six to 'twelve inches deep. The loss of property is estimated at more than a million of dollars. SHEIINIA.N SECRETARY STANTON TO GENERAL DI'S.

ELECTRICITY. TIES. NY lIITH and CREAMER, Eclectic and Electrupathic physicians, respectfully offer them professional services in all the various branches of the profession, for the treatment of all acute and chronic forms of disem.. The remedial means they employ in the treatment of disease consist of Magnetism, Galvanism, Electro-Magnet ism,. the Swedish method of Localized movement cure, a few Eclectic medicines when deemed necessary; and in fact all the natural curative agents that may successfully be brought to bear upon the disease. They dog not wish to be understood as arrogating to themselves any superiority of professional skill; - brit they believe the remedies they employ in the treatment of dis ease far superior to those generally employed byphysicians, from the fact that they act in perfect harmony with the laws governing and controlling the human system. To this, and the fact that they confine themselves to no par ticular play or system, they attribute their success I controlling disease. The principal agent they employ in the treatment of disease, namely, Electricity, is an agent wonderful in its phenomena and powerful inks effects for good or ill. It is an ever present, all-pervrding principle, governing all things, from rolling worlds down to the invisible particles of gassemis matter. We see it in the lightning's flash and Lear the manifestations of its power in the muttering thunder. It is the cause of all decomposition, mcompo siti on and transformation. It excites all motion. It is the exciting cause of life, growth, decay and death. It causes secretion, excretion, digestion. It lays hold of the crude food in the stomach, converts it Into a state of flu idity, transmutes it into arterial blood, and sends it on tte important office of supplying nutriment according to the necessities of the body. It is the nerve vital fluid, the great agent through which the mind facts upon the bodys It is the muse or all causes except the first great cause. the Infinite Dina which created it and brought it into use These may appear like mere assertions, but they as. facts admitting of strong and irresistible proof. Is it then, to be wondered at that an agent so wonderful in its-phe nomena, so.powerfol in its manifestationsand so intimate ly connected with all the operations of the human sys tem, should be almost absolute in its power of controlling disease ? ffertainly not. It is a natural sequence and follows as surely as day follows night. Among the diseeses which are found to yield readily to Electricity, in conjunction with proper adjunct treatment, may be mentioned the following; Incipient Consumption, Paralysis, Elpiliptic, Hysteric and other Convulsions; Neuralgia, in its worst forms, Rinsematissis, inflammatory and chrehic; all diseases or the nervous system; Dyspep la cured in a few treatments; all diseases of the urinary and genital organs; Female Diseases, Asthma, Piles and Prolapaus Ant; Amaurosis and all kindred elections of the eye; Aurettts, Strictures, all skin d rams% aze, Persons calling will be told whether they can be bane fitted and no case Laken where some relief cannot be af forded. .Consultatiots free.
