Hotel Buyox, Lake Gencva,

JIy I)ca .b'tV : I havo received your
very poiito invitation, on oenaii ot tne
citizens of the United States of America,
who aro iu Geneva, to Airs. AlcClellan
and myself to join them at dinner to-day.
I regret that it will not bo in our power
to do ourselves the pleasure of meeting
with you in the celebration of this most
intt'restin-; auuiversary of the mcst sacred
day in American calender. Although I
cannot meet sou in person I hopo that you
will permit me to eiaprcss tho intensojoy
and pride with which, in common with all
Anicricaus,! look upon the recent glorious
successes ot our gallant armies under
Grant ami Sherman,
As thoio victories have Gually crushed
tho aimed opposition to the General Gov
ernmcnt, and havo brought back the wholo
of the national domain under tho folds of
our flag, I trust that this anniversary of
the nation's birthday will bo the opeuiDg
of a now era in our history when broth
crly lovo will once again prevail between
the people of the once contending sections
when all the cauies of the late war shall
havo di.-appcarcd when the idea of so
cession shall bo regarded as a thing en
til cly of tho past never again to bo re
vi veil , and during which wo shall becomo
a stronger, more unitsil anil inoro pros
perous nation than ever before.
I must tiuccroly unito with you in tho
feelings of sorrow and indignation which
have boon so universally expressed for tho
cowardly murder which deprived thu
country of its chief Magistrate, aud in the
desiro lo ailbrd tho mo-it loyal support to
his successor. 1 trust, too, that you will
unito with mo in the hope that, sinco wo
have completely vindicated our uational
strength and military honor by tho ontire
defeat aud rum ol our late enemies, our
ncoolo will nursuo a rnacnaniinous and
M
merciful course towaml a lallcn loe ono
that will tend to soften tho bitter feeling
ing inevitably caused by a bug and oar

To the Editor of Co. Democrat.
A fow thought! in relation to certain
articles of misrepresentation published in
tho Hqmblican is called for from thoso
who tho slander is aimed at, a profligato
spendthrift or inobriato, who has wasted
his susbtanco ii sure to attempt to fasten
the blamo or oausa of his wretchedness on
some one elso. Just so Mr. Editor with
thoso loj(d eight, who, in rt libellous ar
ticle, publish to community that tho
Bloomsburg Editors and Lawyers wore
tho oaujo of tho arrest and punishment of
41 citizons of Columbia and Luzerne co's.
last summer. When theso loyal eight,
togothor with othors who wore ashamed
or afraid to sign their names, know in
their very hearts, thoy wcro guilty of our
incarceration, it is true, thoy wero only
oats paws in the hands of a fow designing
men, as ttio sequel will Uevclope. A cer
tain porson who was so sure of presiding
over this Judicial District a few years
since, stated that ho was responsible for
bringing tho soldiors in this county, but
when asked by an officer what the pcoplo
up tho Crock were guilty of, whcro the
Farts, cannon, &o., were located, refcred
them to his dupes up the crock, then it
was that a few disappointed office seekers
thought it would bo a good time to break
up tho Democratic party in Columbia co
Ono who took an active part in this in
famous business is out in an article eigncd
Stiles, a fellow who is not likely to
bo dangerous politioally, judging from tho
run lie made fur Sheriff of Columbia co,
but thcro is ono insinuation cannot be tol
crated with impunity, let tho source- be
over so insicnifioant, viz : when he inakos
quotation in regard to liueal desoen
da tits of Tories, and then says, "this must
mean himself, as all my antecedents pro
fessod to bo Democrats." A man who
will publicly slander the living is certain-
Iv bad ennuah, but ho who vihGcs tho
dead, especially his own ancestry, should
bo held up to tho scorn and derision of all
men. Richard Stiles virtually says that
his grandfather, who fought in tho seven
years struggle, to obtain that liberty he
now enjoys, was a Tory 1 for, he was a
Democrat all his long and eventful life.
What think you Democrats of this worthy
sire of such a slanderous insinuation :
Were- it not for the physical disability of
tho author of it, some of the offspring of
that revered ancestors, would hardly an
swer such falsehood with the pen. This
disappointed office-seeker feels sore, and
now endeavors to vilifiy his relations as a
revenge. Wo told him plainly when ho
oamo down among us, beggiog our votes
for relation and poverty sake, that in poli
tics we had no relations, that in all other
respects we had no uukindncss toward
him, and even now wo pity him in his
physical misery, but his wilful misrepre
sontations wo will not tolerate. He stated
with toars in his eyes in a speech before
tho soldiers at Benton, that now ho could
express himself frocly without being per
secuted, when ho knows all tho persecu
lion bo ever received from the Dcmocratio
party was his overwhelming defeat when
a candidate for Sheriff, and they will per
sccuto in liko manner all renegades and
trai'ors, to their party when thoy turn tor
tho sako of office. In rcferenco to tho
man who drovo tho -'inatoh blaoks," tho
faots arc as follows : His houso was sur
rounded tho nijit the arrests wcromado,
he being at Troy putting in a subititue.
When ho returned went to the Ex-Sheriff.
knowiog ho was in tho ring, and offered to
pay him liberally for his day and lurnish
a team to go lo tho commanding officer
anil seo that ho would not bo disturbed.
IIo said ho would go the next day and
tako a friend with him aud it would bo all
right. Uo reported to a certain manwhon
he returned that thcro was so much against
him tiiat ho could do nothing, when it ap.
peared ho cither bad no influence or work
ed against him, as tho man with tho
"blacks" received a notico from tho com
manding officer shortly after, that ho
would not bo disturbed. Wero the man
with tho "hlaek.V' as ready to retaliate ho
might be called upon to settle somo pa
pers with his nnmo attached. These things
wo would not rofor to woro ho not so per
sonal. But to return to tho losser lights,
ono of thoso brother's-in-law ho speaks of.
Had tho Commission believed tho hard
swearing ho dono against his brother, hu
would probably havo been ptrmittsd to
oooupy tho old homestead. His story was
so irrelevant that bo was etoppod twioo by
tho Commission which as tho council said
eoomed to throw a wet blanket over him,
and his physiogoiuy presented all kinds of
contortions. There were oiher3 brought

time comes for legal rcdross, wo will then
bo prepared to show whom wo do blame,
and will not go sneaking about nights in
disguiso to do so, but acoording to law in
open day-light. Wo now say to all thoso
who were instrumental in having us ar

regardless of law, from our homes, that
the outrage inflicted upon us was not so
humiliating as tho idea that our system of
Government had passod into hands where
legal redress for the time being was beyond
our reach ; if in retrospection of tho whole
transaction you can find anything upon
which you can feed your poor revengeful,
contracted, envious souls, wo pitty you.
Wo have nothing to regret of being firm

Democratic Celebration on tho 4th inst.
Wo regret that our spaco will not permit

"Ono of tho great charges which tho
Declaration of Independence brought
against G'uorgo 111, was, "ho has affeoted
to render the military independent of and
superior to tho civil power," This pre
tension revised in our days, and reaching
even to tho total suppression of tho civil
power, in all it3 relations to oivil liberty,

vailed at tho North, as secession at tho
South, Bath deservo tho signal condem

exercised by officials in tho Northern

The Plague of Locusts.
SINGULAR SCENUS IN JATPA.
A letter dated at Jaffa (Palostino,)
June 20, describes a visitation of loousts
as follows :
''In the month of April last wo obscrv
cd two largo, dark clowds, resembling
smoko, moviDgto and fro as if 6wayed by
the wind. Ono morning theso olowds
came down, and proved to bo loousts, so
great in number that the whole land was
covered with them. Tho grain at that
time was full in car and nearly ripe, but
the locusts did not touch it or any other
vegetable. Soon after, howovor, it was
observed that thoy burricd themselves in
tho soil and there deposited their inumer
able eggs. Tho Arabs and peasants saw
tho approaching tnisohief, and went thro'
tho land in thousands digging for theso
eggs ; thoy succeeded to a certain degree,
and destroyed incredible numbers with
water and fire, but all their efforts had
very little effect -
About tho middle of may small blaok
creatures, at a distance resembling largo
ants, were observed accumulating in largo
heaps throughout tho country, and a few
days after they had been thus soon, they
began to leap, and manifested tho coming
calamity and invasion of tho fearful army,
as described so emphatically in Jool ii.
The pcoplo now began to swocp them to
gether aud bury or burn thorn in ditchoa
dug tor tno purpose, iiut all to little or
no effect, and as they grow a little larger
tho extent of their multitude began to bo
seen, and the coining catastrophe could
not be mistaken. The roads were cov
ered with them, all marching in regular
line, liko armies of toldiers, with their lea
ders in front, and all the opposition of man
to arrest their progress was in vain.
Thoy first consumed tho plantations
around Rainloh, Lydda aud all the smal
ler villages near thorn, and then entered
tbo towns and villages consumed tho vit-
uals, &o., in the market and streets, by
degrees forcing themselves into tho housos
and covering the walls outsido as well as
inside. It seems that everything wln'di is
moit-tencd by thoir sliva is poisoned, for
tho cattle that feed on the remnants which
aro left all die. I mysolf saw fifty oxen
dead in tho village of Delta, Daggon and
Zaffarish that had fed on tho romuant of
durrah (Indian ooru) left by tho locusts,
and tho night heforo twenty more died
from the samo cause.
About two weeks ago thoy wero scon to
bo a fearful extent all arouad Jaffa, but
still without wings. The town for several
days appoared forsaken, all shops wero
shut, all business suspended. Almost all
tho inhabitants had gone out to destroy
and drive away the invading army ; they
mado tremendous ditchoa and buried and
burnod countless myriads, but, as before,
all in vain, for the moro thiy dostroyed
the moro socmcd to ariso from hiding
places, and as thoy grow in sizo o they
scorned to grow in multitude and toward
Iho cast from here thoy covered tho ground
for miles and miles to a height a several
inches,
Another letter of a later dato says, that
i'They aro in nowiso decreasing ; rath
er tho opposite. Every nativo inhabitant
has been ordered by government to bring
fi(tuct) pound weight of locusts daily, and
thoso who do not aro fined XI otorliog
caoh time."
THE ETERNAL DAY.

Death to a good man '13 but tho dawn-

ho onter upon roal life a lifo unclogg'cd

on," and ascends to be with Christ,whioh
is far better, Then farewell oarth, fare-
woll toil, and pain', and tears, and death:
Ho gocB to join tho immortal company
who sing and shiao in the proscnoo of God

"Anil though the hills of death'
May hide Ihe bright arruy,
The marshalled brotherhood of souls
Stlllkocps Its upward way ;
Upward I forever upward I
1 seo their march" sublime,
And hear tho glorious music
Of tho conquerors of time."
No doubt, no darkuoss, no fears 1 Tho
two leaved gates of eternity aro gontly
opening beforo him, and tho light of that
brighter world is pouring forth upon tho
soono of his departure.
Seo tho dying Alozart, as he stands up
on tha hither shoro of tho river of death,
looks back upon the toils of tho past, and
forward to the joys of the immortal future.
How appropriato his ' cygaoau song," tho
last ho heard on earth :
"Spirit, thy labor is o'er I
Thy term of probation is run.
Thy steps are now bound for tho untrodden shotc
And the raco of immortals begun.
"Spirit, how bright Is the huinc
For which thou art now on the wing I
Thy homo it will bo with thy Saviour and God,
Their loudhallclujihs to sing."
Ill that ''better country" there will bo
no moro hunger or thirst, no oold or hoat,
no weariness or sickucs, no pain, decay,
or death forevor I There tho wioked eoaso
from troubling, and there tho weary aro
at rest. Tho lamb that is in tho midst of
the throne shall lead ui to fountains of
living waters, and God shall wipo away
all tears from our eyes !
Reader, does your bosom glow with this
glorious hopo of joys immortal boyondtho
grave ! II so, of what aocount aro our
oaithly trials, disappointments, and suffer
ings ? Aro thoy worthy to bo compared
with tho glory to bo revealed ? Should
wo not rather bless God for ovcry pang
wo feel, knowing that our light ufilietioa
whioh is but lor a moment worketb,
for us a far moro exceeding and eternal
weight of glory ?
"Then, O my soul, despond no more, ,
The storms of lifo will soon be o'er.
And I shall dud the peaceful shore
Of everlasting tett I
Oh, happy day I Oh, Joyful hour I
When freed from earth my soul shall tower,
lleyoud the reach of Santan's power.
To be forever blast,"
Suoh prospect that opens before tho Chris

wonder he often shouts," Victory, victory
through tho blood of tho lamb !"
