Com Brings, were six barrels of tongues. We judge, from their incessant gabble, that Mr. Cimimings must have distributed those tongues among the Black Repub lican members of Congress, No wonder they talk- We havo r.o advico to offer the pa triotio editors of tho Piltston Gazette, Their insinuations about peace ?;tf,&c.,aro as falso as they aio cowardly. The fact, that tbey published our comments on their late notice of the "Democratic Party," will atono for a multitudo of their political er rors. Ikon City College, Pittsburgh, Pa. This Icstitution enables young men .at tho least expense aud shortest time to gain a solid business education for reliable accounts, in all classes of business. That its superior merits aro appreciated by a diacorntng public, is shown by its being tho argost and most popular Coinorcial Schooll in tho United States. Pennsylvanians in Battle, The heat of tlio great battle at Fair Oaks, was met by Ihc Pennsylvania volunteers, with the sternest bravery manifested during tho war ; ami they sustained the heaviest loss. They fell back when exhausted and overcome by superior numbers. The record of that fight will ever recount to their honor, for bravery, let who may attempt to gainsay it. "Phopeety in Man." Tho Republican Wido Awako orators and newspapers, in the campaigu of 1SG0, vehemently denied that thcro was any "property in man." With their usual consistency I they have totally ignored that proposition, by purcha sing the big&littlo nogroes of tho District of Columbia at 8300 per bead ; and they desire to extend tho purchaso by buying all tho rest of four millions of slavo in tbo Southern States at tho samo price per cap ita. If negroes are not property, why wo ask, throw away hundreds of millions of thepublio troasury in tho purchase of them? The Effect. Tho proneious effect of the ultra abolitiou action of Congress upon the Border States, is well illustrated in the following extraot from a letter from Gen. Leslie Coombs of Kentucky, dated the 10th of May : We havo thirty thousand gallant volun teers in the field , ready to die in the causa ; aud yet, the ultra legislation now being pressed by the Abolition Traitors in Con gress is doing us infinite mischief, and putticg us in political personal jeopardy, in our approaching August election. Wo feel ourselvea in much, greator danger from the hands of secretly organized and armed traitors in our jnidst stimulated y tieJntenip4i;ate Abolitionists in Con grew than w do from their public 8rmjes, KIT . ' PstT wtiy is it that tha two "secession"! sheets of this plaoo do not publish tho' War news. Tlio last Democrat contained just e ighticn lines and tho Star manni'cd' to squcezo in twenty-seven lines of Wnr JNows. It is very evident that the design is to keep their readers ignorant of tho I defeats Buslained by thoir frlontls down 1 South. Columbia co, Republican, June 12. 1 Without paying any attention to tho , slang and libel contained in tho above paragraph, except to repel them, and pro nounco them quito B3 wido of tho truth, as wo would bo, if wo should say that Dr. John was in favor of tbo "Constitution as it is and tho Union as it was," which abo litionists of his class cannot bo, they being uisumonists originally, and so remaining: vo will now attend only to tbo simplo falsehood of tho matter asserted. . Tho Democrat of which ho speaks, is Juno 7 and it contains a letter from ''Artillerist" of over a column a letter of nearly a column from tho Star, by "Tcodlcs,"and more than a half column of tho very latest tolcgraphio news giving Gen. Hallcck's victory over Beaurcguard in tho West ; and a synopsis of itfoClcl lan's fight of Juno 1st and 2nd, before Richmond. Now wo submit, that without willful, malicious and deliberato lying, it was im possible to manufacture tho paragraph at tho head of this articlo ; and taking the record for our guido, such a liar wo pro nounce Dr. John to bo. And wo could take up every issuo of his nigger Republic can and by irrcfragiblo proof sustain the same charge. Falso to the Constitution ho has sworn to support falso to tho ostensible and do olarcd purpose of tho war falso to tho truth itself wherover a lio will suit his purpose ; ho is fast coming to that condi tion when ho will be poisoned by his own venom. 6?- At a meeting of tho Standing Com mittee of this county, held at this placo on Saturday last, Johnson II. Ikeler, Esq., and 31. Whitraoycr were appointed Sena torial Conferees; and 3Iaj. Isaac S. Mon roo and D. L. 3IcKinney, Representative Conferees, to elect delegates to tho State Convention. The timo and placo of the meeting of the Conferees has not been fixed as yet. Columbia co. Hepubliean. The most noticablo thing in tho above paragraph is tho fact that the now baby has no name. Wo aro not informed what "Standing Committee" met nor to what "State Convention" tho "delegates'" arc to be accredited. What is tho name of the poor thing ? Is it "Federal ;" is it "anti-war of 1812;" is it "Hartford Con vention;" ia it "Anti-3Iason," with Old Thad Stevens at its head ; is it "Wlii" :" is it ,'anti-3Iexican War ;" is it "Know- Nothing;" is it "Republican;" is it "Union;" is it "Abolition?" Surely out of all thoss oast off names Isaac might havo found one for tho poor orphan. Ho had such bad luck at the last christening that he despairs of hij ability. Wo presume when "tho State Convention" meets, tho first thing in order will be a committee to name tho concern. We Bhall await the ceremony with im patience Get up something attractive there is much in a namo How would "Cameronians" do ? Tho names of thoso Conferees is sugges tivewe respectfully hold them up to the people of the county, and let each one make his own comments. - I I.I.I l ! A Fact Worth Rememiiemno. On 3Ionday Jlr. Oalfax offered a resolution in tho IIouso of Representatives to allow a man in peril of his freedom to have a Jury trial, and compelling tho other man who claimed his flesh, blood, bones, iin ews, brains, and children born or children to bo born as property to prove that he tho claimant was a loyal citizen. Every Republican voted Yea, and every Demo crat (with a .einglo exception) voted No. Stick a pin hero. Columbia co. Republican. Wo will and the pin wo stick thcro will just remind every body that the Dr. is an abolitionist, and whenever thcro is a "nigger in tho wood pile," he is fos "free speech" and "Jury trials." But when a un7e man is arrested and hurried off to somo military fortress, it is all right ; and ho is not only not entitled to a trial by a Jury, but is not even to kno w tho charge against him or tho namo of tho accuser. So, stick a pin thero and remember it for ever hereafter that "every Republican" is willing to give tho "nigger brethern" what "ovory Republican" has denied to a white man. Wo havo always been of tho opin ion that a white man was as good as a nigger, but it seems wo wcro mistaken, Republican abolitionists being the judges. Stick a piu thcro. Expulsion of Vallandiciham. -A petition signed by six hundred and thirty three citizens of Cincinnati, Ohio, has petitioned tho IIouso of Representatives to expel tho notorious Democratio leader Vallandighaui assorting that ho is a trai tor and a disgraco to tho Stato of Ohio, which nobody can deny. Columbia co. Republican. Tho Washington correspondent of tho N. Y. Herald, under dato of Juno 13th, writes that "Hon., 0. L. Vallandigbam was serenaded last night by an Ohio band attached to one of tho Now York Rcgi nients stationed in this vioiuity." So you sco, Dr., unless you expel that "Ohio band'' and disband that "Now York Regiment" you oan't find tho knob on that laft yarn of yours. But of courso you will inform us tho next time you find that "A petition" "has petitioned the House, ver.y kind of tia petition, very. JJ A corropondent inquires whether in our opinion Col. Tate stands any ohnnco whatever, of getting tho nomin.i tion of Surveyor General. Wo answer that wo think his ehancos as good as any. Every decent and respectable man having loft tho rotten nnd treasonable party, ho is an average samplo of the timbor left. If thcro was any amount of honesty or deccnoy in tho party ho would (tand no ohanco nt all. As it is wo should not bo surprisod at his nomination. Columbia co, Republican. Wo publish tho obovo paragraph for tlio simplo purpose of showing to our Doraocratio friends throughout this and adjoining counties, tho manner in which Dr. John and his owners intend carrying on tho comitic campaign. It is a sura critorion of the stylo and calibro of tho man ; and is of a picco with his ''pocket book" paragraph of last Fall, aud which was followed by from 700 to 1,000 Dem ocratic majority. Perhaps in his next mggur i auu u.u no will give tuo names 01 ! .1 i .m i tii ,i uusu rBpcc.io mca- wo have carried nil the "honesty or decency" out of tho party:" and perhaps ho will also toll us whom abouts to find it in tho sional Investigating Corauiitteo could not find it, after diligent search. ''I slated, therefore," said General Richardson, in his late speech, "and I think truthfully, that the Government is already paying 5100,000 per day for the support and employment of negroes, pay mg it, too, out of money raised through tho toil, deprivations, and taxation of our kith and kin." Boston Post. That is only Ihirly-six million five hun dred thousand dollars ($30,500,000) for tho current year's ''contraband" expen ses, provided no moro negroes fall upon the Government's hands. Tho whole amount of revenue collected under the IMorill tariff," for a year past, will scarcely meet this negro bill. It is said that there arc already 5000 "contraband" negroes in Washington city alone ; and last week they continued to arrive to the number of 30 daily. The True Policy. Tho Boston Post says, with great truth and singnificancc, that 41 as fast as we proceed into the enemy's country, the words of tho Now York 74ne,of Senator Sumiier,of Love joy, of Hickman and Wade, of tho Abo lition meetings of Boston, follow in our footsteps. Where the power of a federal soldier has made a friend to the Union, aro miserable caricatures. For tho credit these men of the North turn his heart of of our counterfeiters I trust their next is gall again. They see that large party sue will excol tho genuine notes- Eastern here is working might and main to coerce tho President into emancipation at the head of tho army ; thoy see that this party would make this a war for the abo lition of slavery, therefore thoy sec a lio in our nrofessious to sustain dm ! 1 only, and will not adhere to our standard. , tcIB that we havo Purcliased vance This makes the Union sentiment of thcjshcuts of M-s.

Who are Union 3Ien? All Demo crats aro Union 3Icn. Those who are not Demoorut3 are not Union men. If a voter is not a Union man he is not a Democrat; and if ho U not a friend of tho Constitution, which is our government, he is not a Dem ocrat. All Democrats must be friends of tbo Union and tho Constitution, and in fayor of maintaining both with all tho means in their power, or thoy are false to tho foundation principles of their party. Can our opponents say as much ? Let their actions answer tho question. Mrt. Dawes, in Congress the other day said "It took four horse contracts, each, for one thousand horses, to settle the political feuds of the Republicans of Pennsylvania, ;tnd every one of these contracts cost tho Government 0100,000 100,000 in all." Mr. Dawes is a Republican. National IIokse Fair. Tho great National Horse Fair will bo held at the Keystone Park, Williamsport, Pa., Sep. tember 2d to the 5th, inclusive.

Tlio real friends ot tho Union as it was, and tho Constitution as it is, must and will tri umph, Our cause is tlio causo of the country. In view of the resposibilities, therefore, which rest upon tho Democracy, it is but proper and patriotic, that activ ity .energy and efficiency should charactc izo tho groat work iu which thoy aro now engaged, and which they aro bound to AUUUlIipilSll.

Senator James II- Lane, of Kansas, a model "Republican" of the Frcmontstripe, made a speech at the Cooper Institute, New York city, oa Thursday night, 5th iust., in which bo declared that, HIle looked upon the ivar as a cowardly teat which must be checked, so os to prevail out children from suffering through it." This same man, Lane, is ono of Abra ham Lincoln's pets, was appointed a Brig adier General by him, and is, no doubt, at this day, high in favor with tho Admin istration. Of course ho will bo suffered to go about preaching opposition to the war. without even a murium- of reproof from tho patriotic gentlemen who hold tho reins of power at Washington. Wendell Phill ips and Jim Line are prcmitted to belch forth their treasonablo utterances, with pcifect impunity, because, forsooth, they aro abolitionists. Hut let a Democrat like James W.

Captains Clark and Robison opened their batteries upon them with effect, and Captain Huutington's guns were soon doing tho tamo good work. Two companies of skirmishers and two regiments of infantry wcro ordered iuto the woods to contcract this movement of the enemy. The fire of our skirmishers was soon heard and I ordered two moro regi ments to their support.

'iromtho prisoners taken by us) none of i r i 'heme stimated it at less than 8000 mon ac- tuallyin the engagement. The loss of our artillery wo feel almost as keeuly as wc should to havo lost our colors, yet it was impossible to save them without animals to drag ihem through the deep mud; the men could not doit. While wc deeply feel this loss, we have tho satis faction of knowing that wo have ono of theirs, captured by tho Fifth Ohio and driveu off in full view of their whole force ; sixty-seven prisoners following it to this post. It will not bc expected that I can msn tion tho many gallant actions of the differ ent officers upon that hard-fought field. Yet I cannot do justice to my own feelings without remarking that iu my opinion, braver, more determined and willing men never entered a battle field. General Carroll distinguished himself by his cool uoss and dashing bravery. Upon him I relied, and was not disappointed. For heroic gallantry I will place Colonel Gav in, Colonel Buckley, Lieutenant-Colonel Chreighton, Colonel Duming, Colonel Tho burno, Colonel Candy and Licutenant Cokncl Hayward bosido the bravest men of the United States army. The lino offi cers of the different regiments discharged their duty nobly, and deserve special mention by their Colonels.
