What he Did With Them. Among
the supplies purchased by Alex. 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

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.

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

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."

We havo tho pleasure of informing our
bo great has been tho demand for this
now work, that Five of tho New York
Publishers have made efforts to obtain it
but 3Irs. Wood, indulging her kindly
feelings for tho Tho Post, which was the
first and for a long timo tho only Ameri
can periodical to recognize her genious,
has given tho preference to her friend in
Philadelphia.
" Verncr's Pridt" will run through about
thirty numbers of Tho Post, and will
doubtless constitute the attraction of our
pages whilo it is being published.
Our subscribers will oblige us by calling
the attention of their neighbors and friends
to tho beginning of this new story, as a
capital timo for commencing to subscribe

Who aro tlio Traitors?
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

their pickets only appearing, which wo
were abel to discover ourselves.
We returned to camp and few moments
after your order of Juno 8th, 7 J P. M.,
from Coluradia Bridge, reached nio, and
while writing a reply was informed that
the enemy were advancing upon us, or
rather into tho woods opposito their posi
tion, evidently with a view of outflanking
us upon tho left. 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.
A sharp fire was kept up in the woods,
for a few moments only, when tho enemy
retired and was soon seen coming out of
tho woods, crossing to join a column
moving upon our right. In the meantime

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

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

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

their duty nobly, and deserve special
