We la ave only time and space to-day to say that the county ticket nominated yesterday by the Democratic County Convention meets with general approbation. We gather this from what conversations with different persona we have had since the nomination. Not only are the Democracy pleased, but the excellence of the _selections is acknowledged by many of our po litical adversaries. We Shall express oar sen timents. more fully and freely to-morrow, and in the meantime we bespeaklor the ticket the good will and active services of even' man wi 0 desires to. Telieve the country from Abolition misrule. The Mate Teroata—Great Damage to the Crops In MEI WOK and Northwest. Through Indiana, tilinois, Michigan, Wis consin, lowa 'and Minnesota the damage done by the late frosts is incalculable. It is esti mated that in Illitrali and Wisconsin the corn crop has suffered on an average, fully 20 per , cent ; in some sections the destruction, mounts to half the crop. In all the States mentioned the loathes been heavy—but Illinois seems to have. - suffered more than any other State. The sorghum _crop will prove an almost .entire far. use, while beans, tobacco, sweet and. tot.eUci tatoos, fruit, &0.. have suffered severely. The ,free cotton, of which, says a letter from Cham paign county, Illinois, thousands of dollars worth of seed has been sold, " warranted to stand the climate," is gone beyond any hope of ever saving the roots. To make things still worse an unprecedented dread' afflicts that whole region. A New' Curtin Organ—Somethlug for ft to do We have received the first number * a new paper—" The Pittsburg Daily Commercial"--ap parently established in the interest of Gov. Curtin, in opposition to the Gazette, and in tended as an antidote to the virus which the latter paper has BO plentifully ejected against His Excellency. As the new paper—the western organ, we presume we may call it without offense—seems to Consider Gov. Curtin a very innocent and a greatly injured man, a patriot, a etatcomen, and a gentleman of the strictest integrity in his of ficial capacity ; we think it not amiss to call its attention to the following article, copied from the Pittsburg - Gazette, July =, in order that if injustice has been done the Governor by that journal, (a Black Republican paper of the deep est dye and highest character,) its allegations may be dieproved, or such explanations given as will relieve His Excellency from a portion of the guilt which is charged against him, and which, otherwise, he must justly bear_ Webelieve the Gazette has not overstepped the bounds of truth—we believe its statements are drawn fairly from . the record and that every thing charged is true. If this be so, we ask the Deity .Commercial, Is this man worthy the up. port of an honest people—is he fit to fill the Gubernatorial Chair of this great Common wealth 2 If the charges are not true, it will ba ese y foe the Croonnweill/ to disprove them, That task we now impose upon it. We do not intend to let it escape—as it imagines it can— from the performance of this task by any de titration on its part of disbelief in the authen ticity of the article to which we call its atten tion. The Gazette will not, propsbly, 1, avow the authorehip," but it will not deny it ; and to remove all doubts, if any exist, from the mind of the Commercial, we assure it that it will find the article, verbatim as we have quoted it, in the Gazette of the following date ; 'From the l'ittsturg. Gazette, Wednesday, July 22 j THE GOVERNOR AND THE TONNAGE TAX. —We have already treated our readers to a curious chapter in the history of the administration of public atiairepf this State under the auspi ces of Governor Curtin. Whether it was cal culated to recommend him for a second term they will be able to judge for themselves. But there was another act more damaging by tar, and that was hie signature of the infa mous bill to repeal the Tonnage Tax. He knew and confessed that it was atrociously wrong. He could not but know that it was procured—as has been since shown by the re port of a Committee of the House-.-by corrupt and illegal influences. He was solemnly ad monished, as was the Legislature, that it would be ruinous to the party and himself, and that the men (Who -voted.for it—outside of Philadel phie—wonld be left at home by their constitu ents. He admitted the probable consequences, as to the party and himself, and was solemnly and repeatedly pledged to refuse his assent. He signed it with indecent hatite, during a re cees of the Legislature, under the pressure of his principal counsellors, ThOmas A. Scott and A. K. MiClure, in opposition to the remon strances-of his Attorney General (the Hon. S. A..Purviance, now of this city,) and his Secre tary of State, andifter having given to those gentlemen the most positive assurances that it should be vetoed. He signed it, too, immedi ately after these assurances were given, with out the knowledge of the former gentleman, who was his constitutional adviser, and upon a private agreement.in meriting, made by Thomas A. Scott, for the company, to pay the sum of $75,000 per annum into the Treasury, which agreement he concealed from the people, and afterwards ourrendered to the company, with. out even preserving a copy of it. When in terrogated at the next session upon this point, he admitted the Tact .of the agreement and its surrender, and excused his conduct on the ground that the company was actually paying more than that amount in taxes to the State already, and that.ef course it was of no further value to the people. The record showed that .they had net .been _pay* the half of <that amount, and the whole statement was contradioted by the testimony of the Attorney General himself, who swore before the Hopkins Committee that the paper was given by Scott, and placed in his hands as an official document; that it was afterwards demanded of him by John Edgar Thompson, President-of the company, on the ground that Scott had no right to give it ; that he refused to surrender it for the reason that it was a public record ; and that it disappeared from Ms office, without his privity or any know ledge ian his part as to .the way in which it was withdrawn ! These facts were before the Hop kins Committee, and ignore ft o their report, the Chairman (Mr. Hopkins) consenting reluc• tautly to their suppression, for the purpose of securing a unanimous report, which he could not otherwise have get from -a committee, whose good will the Governor, if not gtsatly represented, had spared no pains to secure. We enjoin haste upon the ,Commercial, as we have other tasks, not less laborious, for it to perform The charges against Curtio are nu merous, serious, and we fear all true. We are not sure that the above extract, or parts of it, have not already been published in. oar paper—but it matters not, the charges are very grave, very well grounded, and cannot be too often repeated. The Price of Coal. The Lincoln press is busily engaged in an effort to fix the high price of coal upon the disaffection of the miners, who, it is alleged, are perpetually troubling the innocent propri etors for increase of wages. Now, if these pa pers were honest, or at all inclined to give the people correct information, they would go be yond the alleged cause to the real one, and state fairly that the high price of everything is owing to the wretched policy of the Govern ment, depopulating the country of its white laboring population to carry on a war for the emancipation of the negro, and the abundance of cheap currency issued by the Government to facilitate -its operations. The rebellion might long since have been suppressed if the administration had confined it to that single purpose, at one half the cost of men and money that have been expended—but conducted for the purpose of negro freedom, there is no tell ing how much longer it may last,•or how many more men or thousands of millions of dollars I may be required to carry it on. With every fresh draft, (drawn principally from the work ing classes,) more money is demanded, and labor becomes scarcer and dearer. With every fresh inflation of the currency, too, prices ad vance, and they who expect the mechanic or miner to labor for the same wages when food and raiment are high as when they are low, are neither Christiana nor philanthropists, but brutes, who have no feeling Or the working classes, and , care not that they and their fami lies should half starve end be lothed in Ilr, i so long as themselves can fill their purses, fare sumptuously and clothe theinselvea in fine linen from the proceeds of shoddy contracts or other Government employments which the ad ministration makes abundant to serve the scoundrels who have rallied around it, and who cry on themar for the negro for the sole pur7 pose of ph:oilier. Let the administration terminate this bloody war--this negro wer—and send back to the pursuits of civil life the men whom it has drawn from the workshops and the mines—let it curtail the enormous expenses which are rapidly hurrying the cation to bankruptcy— let it atop its shinplaster mills and come down nearer to the constitutional currently of the country—make its paper dollars worth a dollar in gold—and the price of coal and every other commodity will soon accommodate itself to the new and sound condition. As it is, let not those in power, who have perverted that power to bad purposes, expect to escape the censure and odium which May belong to them, by at tempting to throw the blame of high prices and other grievances upon the laboring men of the country. Judge Woodward. The Boston Post, the leading Democratic paper of Massachusetts, pays the following handsome and deserved aompliment to Judge Wood!ard Judge Woodward, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, is one of the most patriotic men in the nation as well as one of the most able and pure. When Governor Curtin called for troops to resist the Confede rate army, he said: "There ought 0 b Such an instant uprising of young men, in response to this call, as shall be sufficient to assure the public safety, and to teach the world that no hostile foot can, with impunity, tread the soil of Pennsylvania." In his decision affirming the constitutionality of the soldiers' lien law, which protects their property daring their term of service, and thirty days after, from executions issued by superlatively " loyal" creditors, he says : Yet it is impossible to separate this ques tion of reasonableness from the actual circum stances in which the country itself at the date of the law. Eleven States hail seceded or re volted front the Federal Union, and had set up an independent government within the juris diction of the Constitution of the United States, and armed possession had been taken of forts, arsenals, onetom.housee, navy yards and Ober property of the United States, within the bound aries of the revolted States. In the judgment of the President and Congress, who were the duly constituted authorities, the occasion re quited an immense increase of the army and navy, and the active employment of both of these strong arms to subdue the rebellion and restore the Union. Accordingly, Congress au thorised the President to accept volunteers, and to call upon the States for their militia. He did both, and a vast army has been in the field for many months. Now, if a stay of execution for three years would not be tolerated in ordinary times, did not these dreamt:moat constitute en emer gency that justified the pushing of legislation to the extremest limit of the Constitution ? No citizen could be blamed for volunteering. rie was invoked to do so by appeals as strong as his love of country. In the nature of things there is nothing unreasonable in exempting a soldier's property from execution whilst he is absent from home battling for the eupeernacy of the Constitution and the integrity of the Union. And when he has not run before he was sent, but has yielded himself up to the call of his country, his self-sacrificing patriotism pleads, trumpet-tongued, for all the indulgence from his creditors which the Legislature have power to grant. If the term of indulgence seem long in this instance, it was not longer than the time for which the President and Con grese demanded the seldier's services. It was sot for him, nor is it for us, to rejudge the dis cretion of the President and 0041%03 in this regard.. Basing ourselves on what they did, constitutionally, the question for us is, whether the stay granted by one own Legislature to our citizen-soldiers was unreasonable. in view of the extraordinary circumstances of the case, we cannot pronounce it unreasonable. We see in it no wanton or careless disregard of the ohligablen of the contrasts, but only a sincere effort to enable the General tlovernwent to prosecute with success a war which, in its ex clusive right of judgment, it resolved to wage. Another circumstance which bears on the rea sonableneee of the enactment is the provision which AnspendS all statutes of limitation in fa vor of the soldier during all the time he is ex empted from process. The provisions were reciprocal and both were reasonable." Now the Democratic party have nominated Judge Woodward as the representative of their principles, the twelfth resolution of their plat form declaring : "That while this General Assembly eon demns and denounces the faults of the admin istration and the encroachments of the Aboli tionists, it does,also, most thoroughly condemn and denounce the heresy er sfeeessieit as un warranted by the Conetitution, and destructive alike of the security and perpetuity of the gov ernment and of the peace and liberty of the people, and it does hereby most solemnly de clare that the people of this State are unaltera bly opposed to any division of the Union, and will persistently exert their whole influence and power ; under the Constitution, to main tain and defend it." These sentiments are in secornante with those expressed by the Democrats of New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Indiana, lowa, and by Demo evade Conventions generally, and are the same as those unanimously adopted by the great Democratic Convention hoiden at Worcester on the 3d instant. They are the sentiments which all the honest Democratic heart of the coun try, aid which will find expression in the suc cess of the Democratic nominees at the next national election. Some native Africans of Speke and Grant's discovery, describbd the distance at which their s overeign lived as follows; "If any one sent him a cow as a tributary present, the way to hi s palace was so long that the cow had time to have a calf on the road, and the calf had time to grow into a calf and have a Calf of its own!" Life in Uganda is thus dagnerreotyped: Uganda is thus described as a most surprising country, in the order, fleetness, civility and politeness of its inhabitants. It would be a pattern even for Zanzibar; but M'Tese's reign is a reign of terror. It is an established cus tom that there should be one execution daily. The ceremonies and rules . of precedence of the Court of Uganda, as in that of the other Wahuma courts, are minutely defined, and are exacted under penalty of death. The first among the dignitaries of State is the lady who had the good fortune to 'have 'acted as monthly nurse to the sovereign's mother. After this Mrs. (lamp, follow the Queen's sister and the King's barber. Then 0011103 governors of provinces and naval and military command ers;, then the executioners (who are busy men in Uganda,) and the superintendents of tombs; lastly, the book. In a thelower grade are juve nile pages 46 look after e Women, and to run u p on errands; they are killed if they dare to walk. In addition to therm is an effective band nf , rtugicians, wilt) arum, r.rtle Fourds with dry peas inside them, play flutes, clarionettes, wooden harmoniums, and harps, besides otherg who sing and whistle On their fingers. Every person of distinction must constantly attend on his sovereign, or his estates are liable to be utterly confiscated. He must be decorously dreesid in a sort of toga, made from the pound ed bark of the fig tree, for he is fined heavily or killed outright if he exhibits even a patch of bare leg. What a blessing trousers would be to them! These bark cloaks are beau tifully made, and look like the best cor duroy; they are worn over robes of small an telope skins sewn together with the utmost furrier's art. Every courtier's languagp must be elegant, and his deportment modelled upon established custom. Even the King is not free; Wahuma taste exacts that whbnever he walks he should imitate the gait of a vigilant lion, by ramping with his legs and turning from side to side. When he accepts a present from a man, or orders a man a whipping, the favored indi vidual must return thanks tor the condescend ing attention, by floundering flat on the ground and whining like tr happy dog.

The wheelman lashed himself to a piece of wreck, and after floating for thirty hours was washed ashore at Portage, twenty miles from the scene of the disaster. He reports that the Sunbeam left:Superior City en Thursday. Early the next morning, during a terrible gale, the steamer was struck by a heavy sea, which rolled her over on her side.

The following communication contains a narration of facts for which our correspondent, in a note to the editors, vouches, and which we are inclined to think highly probable : GOV. CURTIN'S MESSAGE—SPEAKER OF THE SENATE—AN ASTOUNDING REVE LA.TION—CCETIN PROMISES TO GO FOR CAMERON—MR• PENNEY—THE SPANISH MIJSION-- TREACHERY -- FALSEHOOD AND TRICKERY—. ALL FIXED AGAIN, &C. Editors Patriot and Union : Gummi - EN : —You will remember during the latter days of the last Legislature—say a week or two before its adjournment, Governor Curtin announced by message to that body and to the people of Pennsylvania, his inten tion or retiring from the political arena—or, in other words, he declined emphatically a re nomination for Governor at the hands of his party. You will also remember that just before the Senate of Pennsylvania adjourned, it elects a new speaker, to that as such ad interim, until the meeting of the next regular session of both Houses of the Pennsylvania Legislature.— These two particular points established, I pro ceed with a narrative of facts which will as tonish and dumb=found those interested, as as well hold up to the world the conduct of as precious a set of political rascals as it yet saw since the advent of this "gruel war !" Three years ago, when Curtin was first nom inated, and before that nomination was se cured, Curtin had made certain compromises which he then pledged his honor to carry out : that is, he gave his word he would use his in fluence for Simon Cameron for President of the United States, and that he, himself, would not again be a candidate for Governor. He forfeited his honor in both instances. Why he played, what may be supposed by many a very sharp game, in obtaining a re-nomination will be ascertained presently. Mr. Penney was elected Speaker pro tempore of the Senate. • Mr. Penney was anti-Curtin, and a friend of the Washington administration and Mr. Cameron. I say Washington admin istration so as not to confound it with the Rich mond administration. • Both, however, are bad enough, and neither has " grace sufficient" to save it from perdition. Mr. Penney having been elected, a plan or plot was at once conceived to make him ex-officio Governor of Pennsylva nia. Curtin always complained of bad health and onerous duties. He was to be persuaded to resign. But bow to trap the wily Curtin into a resignation took many days of cogita tion. The administration at Washington dis liked him—hated would be the more proper term, and first suggested the thought of put ting the Governor hors du combat—which end of the administration—Lincoln or Ste nton—did this is an immaterial fact in the premises. Cur tin was invited to Washington. He came, and Was offered the mission to Spain. The ofer was accepted, and Curtin returned to Pennsylvania, wrote out a special message, announcing the fact, as before remarked, to the Legislature and the people of Pennsylvania. Following the essage declaring his intentions not to be a can didate again, it was expected he would also re sign, and thus gine Mr. Penney the reins of the State government. This accomplahed, the " sick" candidate would have been driven from public life forever. But he did not resign ! The promised mission not coming immediately after his return home—he suspected treachery—and so held on the tighter to his place. The "mis sion" affair was a ruse—a glittering allure ment—no more ! To give the details of what followed this dit-appotntmEnt, would take too much time and space ; and to give the names of the big and little actors in this delectable plot to decapi tate the "sick" governor, is deemed, also, un necessary. It will suilioe, when I say that the enmity between the rival factions of the Re publican party in Pennsylvania is now more wide spread and more fierce than ever. • Curtin having been played false with, in turn, played false. He put forth all his ener gies and means—and, secured a re-nomination. His election, however, is not so certain. The nomination having been obtained by base means and dishonest stratagem, cannot be ratified by the loyal clizens and soldiers at the polls. Lately—after the sword presentation to Gen. Meade, near the Rappahannock—ten days ago, Curtin was in Washington, accompanied by M'Veagh, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee; Colonel Alz. K. M'Clure ; Morton Mllichael, of the North American; our mutual friend Coneuelo Forney, of the " Con tractors'" organ ; and other lesser lights and weights, when , past differences were arranged satisfactorily. with the Washington Administra tion. That "mission" to Spain ruse, resulted in having foisted upon the Republican party for their support, the "doh" man for Governor Will he be supported and elected ? R. Sown Yonso MEN, traveling on horseback among the White Mountains, became exceed ingly thirsty, and stopped for milk at a house by the roadside. They emptied every basin that was offered, and still wanted more. The woman of the house at length brought out an enormous bowl of milk, and set it down on the table, saying--.6one would think, gentlemen, you had never been weaned." DIED.
