With this number closes fcalf of the Thirteenth Volume of the SfAR, and completes three volumes and a halt . since under; our proprietorship. We are about ready to say, in the language of one of our distant colemporaries, "this is the last Star which will be issued under the old fogy credit tystemV There are many on our books who hare not paid us 'he first cent. We will erase a number of names from our books next week, and (hose who do hot re ceive their papers will know well the cause. They hare been trying to break us up in thiB manner, but we are not going to allow them to accomplish their object. ; We will pub lish the Star if we don't hare but one sub scriber, and that one oarself, before we will allow these non-paying delinquents to rnin us. The old time system of issuing on ''tick" is at least a generation behind the age. Bat we hare published the Star three years and a half under the old system, in order that all might be able to judge of its merits, before we adopted the new system cash invaria bly in advance J Under the new system, while we may lose many subscribers, and some who are perfectly responsible, we will -feel assured that we are losing nothing in the matter of white psper. We shall get paid for all we do issue, be the number great or small. Thi fact will enable us to print a much better paper than heretofore. Instead of pending two-thirds of our time in the streets collecting money, in order to prevent notes, given for the material which we have consumed, from going to protest, we shall receive pay for our paper in advance, buy onr white paper for cash, at a reduced price, and spend our time in improving our paper. The Missouri Stats Goverment Who shall be Governor ? The civil government of Missouri, as exercised by the functionary known to its constitution being at an end, the citizens are beginning to lock around to see how and by whom the State shall once more have a legal executive officer The St Louis Republican says: : The Governor of this State is now a fugi tive from the Capital, to which he may not return soon, and probably never. The lieutenant Governor has been absent it is believed from the State for months. Reports locate him now in one place and then in another Nothing sa'isfactory is inown of his whereabouts, except thai he is out of the Slate. His return is a matter involved in as much doubt as the future movements of the Governor. : Governor Jackson, judging from present appearances, will soon be out ol the State. From the existing state ol facts, some would argue that he has virtually abdicated his place, and that his office has become va cant, just as would happen if he were in capatiated by Budden insanity. Admitting this, it would devolve on the President pro tern, of the Senate to repair to Jeflerson city and assnane the Goernment of the State. That officer is Senator Brown, of Ray coun ty. ; He is a respected citizen, with large property interests. Military Fckeral. -That most solemn of all mournful pageants, a military funeral, look place in our borough on last Wednes day afternoon, when the remains of Wil liam C. Rohn were consigned to their last renting place. Mr. Rohn was among the first to volunteer, in this neighborhood, on the breaking out of the war. and with the Light Dragoons marched to Chambersburg, where in a few days he was ' taken sick Not recovering sufficiently for duty, as soon as he was able to travel, he came home to die. He was buried with the honors of war the Wilkes-Barre Home Guards, Capt. Conyngham; the Wilkes-Barre Grays, Capt E. B. Miner, and the Ross Rifles, Capt E. F; Meyer, together with the Good Will Fire Company, in citizens' dress, and the Wyo ming Band participating in the ceremonies. We bad but lillle acquaintance with Mr. Rohn; but doubt not that he would ' have made' a gallant soldier had his life and health been spared. We think his father, Mr. E. Rohn,. (who is remembered by many of our citizens,) was a drummer in the war of 1812, so that William belonged to a good fighting stock. Luzeire Union. I Dhummed Oct On 'Monday evening of last week, at 6 o'clock, a member of Capt. McGee's Irish Infantry, of Manch Chunk, was drummed out of Camp Curtin, at Har risb org, with all the honors.

Are our readers aware that rebellion against the authority of the Government is organizing at the North that treason is rearing its ugly head in the midst of the very party that profess the most determina tion in putting down the rebellion at the South 1 It is even so. Daily attempts are now being made to array the army against the Government, and set up -the military above the civil authorities. Daily threats are made that if the war is not pushed for ward with more vigor, the army will act up on its own responsibility ; and that if a com promise is effected, three hundred thou sand men in arms will disband without ad ministering law according to the code of Judge Lynch. After all the beautiful prat tle about the Constitution, the Union and. the enforcement of the laws, coming from those who have epenl years in trampling upon the Constitution, deriding the Union and violating the laws, the old law-defying instincts have once more gained the mas tery, and revolution is now the waichword. The Government must plunge headlong in to the vortex of civil war or be trodden un der the iron heel of military despotism. Read the following from the Tribune, and see how bold treason has grown at the North: Secret communications are being held with the leading rebels Negotiations, which are so near treason that the techni calities oi definition only make it doubtful, are now being carried on with emissaries from flagitious traitors. A settlement of villainous plunder and shameful raid, is to be adjusied by laying dnwn arms, and an extension of the line of 36 30' to the Pa cific. Who can be so insane as to suppose that three hundred thousand men, with a million more behind them who would take up arras if it were needful, can be made to disband and go home on such a cowardly abandonment as this ? We have a court which ekes out the short statue of your code. The judiciary of Judge Lynch will come in and take cognizance where the legal tribu nal stops. If these prowling bandits can not be held to justice in any other way they can swing from limbs of trees in the con victed crime which needs no jude or jury. Gentlemen ! this is not a chase alter fallow deer. . It is not a woodcock shooting or a wolf hunt. It is not a dress parade nor a holiday review. You had better under stand and estimate its true pnrpose, and if you cannot lead, let it go on without imped iment. Uncounted men are now asking themselves, in meditations on the Govern ment and its late utter inadequacy, "Can these dry bones live 1" They are praying men, and loyal. They believe in the Ruler of Heaven and earth, and in the ruler of the nation. The one is .above all, and over all, and the other is but tne creation of their breath. Yoa can hve subordination or obedience, or yon may be lurnished with a Norther rebellion, ready made, and to hand. The Difference. The reDublican Journals have been in- cessantly charging the Democratic papers of the north with affording treasonable aid and comfort to the enemy, by advocating the rights of the people of the South, as members of the Union. Now the differ ence between the Democratic and republi can journals, on this point is simply this: The Democratic Press, has said to the Socth that the Democratic par'y of the North would stand by them and aid them in defending and maintaining their ' Constiutional and legal rights in the Unton. This they not only had a right to do. The Republican journals, on the other hand, hare been weekly and daily telling the South, that a very large portion of the Democrats of the North, and particularly those, who at the late Presidential election, supported John C. Breckinridge, are disunionists, Seces- sion-sts, and ready and willing to aid and assist tha South in their rebellious and trea- sonable attempts to overthrow the Govern ment, and dissolve the Union. Which is affording "aid and comfort" to the enemy ? He who tells them that they shall be sus tained and their rights protected in the Union, or he who tells them that there are hundreds of thousands ol Northern men ready to aid them in dissolving and breaking np the Uni on t These Republican journals know their assertions to be false, still they persist in them, apparently with a view to encourage the South to hope for and expect a division in the North. Danville Intelligencer. Newspaper Change. Quite a c .a took place one day last week in the affairs of the Scranton daily, which was published on,Tuesday as the Daily Kexce, . under the proprietorship of Col. A. W. Hart, who for the past year has conducted the paper with much energy. The paper professed to be independent in politics, but has lately given a warm support to Col. II. B. Wright for Congres3.i The next morning it appeared a3 "The Morning Herald," edited by J B. Adams, with a tone as decidedly antago nistic to Col. Wright, and as earnestly in favor of Mr. Randall, as it was the day pre vious in behalf of Col. Wright. Col. Hart, in a published statement says the office was taken possession of by "an armed body of ruffians," early in the morning, who pre vented theentrance of himself and workmen. Messrs. Davis & Wheeler, from whom Col. Hart purchased the office, say it was a bu siness transaction,, without referejee to politics If the latter be the fact, it is cer tainly a novel "business transaction" and discloses a very summary way of collect ing debts. But as the case is in the hands of the lawyers, we leave it to their tender mercies. Luzerne Union. . Official Tote of Hontonr Conntr .

The New York Saturday Evening Pott, a leading Black Republican journal, is out in a proposition recommending Congress, af the approaching session, to authorize a'call for 500,000 additional men, and ao appro priation of $300,000,000,to carry on the civ il war that is now unfortunately raging in this heretofore happy and prosperous land. To raise this amount of money it proposes to appeal directly to the people, and after it is raised to lay a direct tax upon the people to raise the interest, thus submitting a plan that will not only ruin the capitalibts of the country, but bring the farmer and mechar.ic to bankruptcy and pover'y. The New York World, another organ of Black Republicanism, says: "Congress may as well make up its mind at once lor a lunded debt such as the coun try never yet saw. But this ought not real ly to excite any very deep concern. At the lime of the first call for troops, the govern ment owed about one hundred millions. Allowing two hundred millions for the ex pense of putting down the rebellion which is a very large estimate and fifty millions to cover all peace deficits we shall have a national debt of three hundred and fifty millions." This estimate would only pay the expen ses ol the present force in the field, a single year, for it must be remembered that the cost of maintaining the army is now about one million dollars per day. But suppose that this war should be prolonged for three or four years, as it probably will, if the rad ical abolition doctrine of extermination is carried out, how would the debt stand ? In stead of three hundred and fifty millions, it would be nearer a thousand millions, pro vided money to that extent could be raised to carry it on, which is not so certain And what would be ihe tax necessary to pay the interest on such a debt? Pennsylvania's quota, over and above the Interest on her own greatly increased Slate debt, would be more than six millions annually, and yet the abilhy of the people to pay would be less than it ever has been, because of the depreciation and ruin which such a war would inevitably inflict upon business, trade and property, a foretaste of which depreci ation and ruin is already being experienced although the war is scarcely begun. But, it ma be aked, what is all this debt and all this tax in comparison to the destruction of thousands and hundreds of lives of men who have been brethren, and ol men who would have continued brethren, had Crit tendon's Comprom ise or some other simi lar proposition been promptly adopted by Congress, in December last, or other con ciliatory and just measures,looking to peare and harmony between the section, been re sorted to ? This whole subject is one which ! claims and should receive the serious re flection of every good citizen. It may not be too late yet to settle ibis trouble honorably, without all this cost and sacrifice of life. In a few days Congress will meet, and that venerable statesman and true Union man, Hon. John C. Crittendon, who has just been elected to Congress from Kentucky, will take his 6eat in the House. Let Mr. Loncoln advise with him and men of his stamp, instead of some of the savage disunion abolitionists that surround him, und our difficulties may be speedily brought i to an honorable termination. Let the peo ple have an opportunity to vote on the Crit tendon proposition, (which is nothing more than to reinatate the old Missouri Compro mise line and mako the act constitutional,) or let a National Convention of States be called and we feel sure that the trouble would soon be ended. Would not either ! of these propositions be better than peace j dictated at the cannon's mouth. Ye have no desire to dictate terms to the present Administration ; our greatest desire and hope is to see the war honorably ter minated and the country again made pros perous and happy, and with this end in ; view, as a conductor of a free press we ex j press our sentiments and criticize that poli- cy which we believe to be wrong As a loyal citizen we have cheer fully given our support to every measure necessary for the preservation of the Gov ernment and the maintenance of the Con stitution but we cannot and will not con sent to the proposition of some of the lead- incr KlapL- Rpnnhliraii irnrnal hicrh in an. , .. j , j thority, that this war mnst be carried on re gardless of the cost of treasure and life until State lines shall be obliterated and all the functions of the Government concentrated .. . . . . in one national power. ln'S would place us under a despotism equalled only by that of Austria. God grant that this curse may never fall upon us. We will cling to the Constitution with undying enthusiasm, still believing that the best Government that has been devised for man is that "which sa credly protects the rights of the humblest citizen." Easton Sentinel. The Ecokomv of Health. This busy nation of Americans have 12,000,000 work ing peop.e, whose services may be estima ted at 2 a day, and their annual loss by sickness at an average of ten days each in the year. This gives a total loss of $240, 000,000 a sum three times as large as the cost of the General Government, including the Army, Navy, Post Offices, Legislators, Foreign Ministers and all. The amount weighs over six hundred tons in pure gold. A large proportion of this costly suffering might be averted by the attention to diet, cleanliness, and above all, by the proper use of the right remedy in season. When a 25 cent box of Ayer's Pills will avert an attack of illness which it would take several days to recover from, or a dollar bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, will expel a lurking disorder that would bring the t. offerer to his back for weeks or months, does it take any figures to show the good economy of the in vestment? When Fever and Ague is rank ling in your veins, and shaking your life out of you, is it worth the dollar it costs for his Ague Cure to have the villainous dis order expelled, which it does sorely and quickly? When yoa have taken a cold is it prudent to wait until it has settled on the longs, when days or weeks or months mast be spent in trying to cure it, even it it can be cured a: all, of is it cheaper to take Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, costing a few shil ( Hn2s, and remove the trouble befors it is The Oath to Support the" Constitution. The duty of the citiaen in times of na tional war, is by no means difficult to define, says the Patriot and Jfnion. It is his duty to be obedient to his government. If the government requires his money for nation al purposes, he must furnish it. If it re quire himself to arm, he must gd to the conflict. The nation never did recognize, and will ntterly refuse to recognize, the Higher Law doctrine laid down some years ago by the Republicans, that every man's conscience is above the laws and the Con stitution. We respect the man who afflic ted by the power of the Government to com pel his contributions lo war purposes when he believes war to be a sin, but we do not justify him in resisting the law or the Ian ful authorities in such a case. At the same time, says the Journal of Commerce, it is to be borne in mind that the government in America is not the President of the United States, nor the President and Congress, nor the respective State Execu tive powers, nor all these combined. These are the channels through which the govern ment acts, and that government is the will of the people as defined and expressed in Constitutions. The respect and obedience (hat every man owes, is to the Constitution, from which the President and Congress de rive their powers of making and executing laws. Every attempt to injure, to violate, to overthrow that Constitution, must neces sarily be disloyalty. Few men of ago and experience have not, at one time or another, taken the oath of al legiance to support the Constitution of the United States. The oath is solemn where ever administered, and once taken, leaves an impression on the mind never to be ef faced. Some have renewed it mori than once ; and the administering of it anew is strongly urged on all men in official posi tions. Naturalized citizens have all taken it It is worth while to remember what the taking of that oath implies. It places the man who takes it under the obligation to defend the Constitution always and every where, in every line and letter. It becomes his duty to resist rebellion against the gov ernment by armed forces, and equally his duty to resist insidious attacks upon it from individual or private sources. While he is free at all limes to advocate modifications of the Constitution, to favor changas in the National policy, to recommend his fellow citizens to consent to amendments of the instrument, he is bound to saiain its pow er and enforcement by all the means at his command. The oath forbids that he should be ab- solved from his solemn duties by any pub lic clamor or storm of popular feeling. If men oppose the liberty of speech, or of ti e press, or the right of petition, he is sworn to resist them. If "the right of a trial by a jury of the Slate and district in which the crime was committed," be in any manner infringed on, he is sworn to resist such in fringement. If any one President, Cabi net, Congress, newspaper editor, or popu lar mob shall attempt to search houses, i examine private papers without warrant and due process of law, override the sacred writ of habeas corpus, or supersede the Pre idenl ; il any officer or branch of the gov ernmeni shall usurp and exercise any of the powers devolved by the Constitution upon any other branch of the Executive power; or if any individual cr body of indi viduals shall attempt in the form ol com mittees of vigilance or otherwise to usurp powers of government or judgment, in each and every of these cases the oath solemnly requires the citizen's resistance. The day has arri ved when a firm adhe rence to manj o those requirements of the Constitution has been called treason by men who advocate the boldest violation of it provisions. It is difficult to take up a paper of the war party which does not pro pose some fresh attack on its sacred provis ions. But there are men who will remem ber the sacredness o! their oalhs wno will never be misled or dragooned into violating ihem and we believe that the President himself, who was awhile ago in danger of being misled by his ardent partizan friends, is now fully alive to the particular meaning of the words of his own oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution. Fourth of Jolt in Milton. On Tuesday evening last, a meeting was held at Acade my Hall, for the purpose of making arrange ments for a celebration of the Anniversary of Araeriran Independence. As bills were issued and conspicuously posted up in va rious parts of the borough, it was expected that there would be a large meeting nor was this expectation doomed to disappoint ment for at the hour appointed, Academy Hall was filled to overflowing with Jive men and a bit? bov I A President was elected, a Secretary appointed, and appropriate reso lutions adopted, from which we extract a Jew, having room for no more. It was Resolved, That a commitee be appointed to raise a subscription of 25 cents, which they are authorized to judiciously expend in fire-crackers and other extensive combus tibles, to bo distributed among the "leading citizens," and displayed simultaneously in different parts of the borough, on the Fourth that all may have a view of them on that memorable day. Rerolved, That another committee be ap pointed to invite every man to do as he pleases on the "day we (don't) celebrate " Resolved. That in furtherance of the above still another committee be appointed to pro cure the Engine Hall, or some other exten sive room, for the purpose of holding a general meeting of our "patriotic citizens Resolved That these resolutions be pub lished in the Miltonun, and that other pa pers be allowed to copy them, and also that a copy be sent to President Lincoln, and each to our principal statesmen, in order to show them that Old Milton is always at her post. The resolutions were unanimously adopt ed, and the meeting adjourned to meet aeain at Naale's wharf next New Year's Day. Miltonian.

The farmer of this county need just ome inch The following are some remarks made by Wm. G. Whitelev, as reported by the Press, delivered at a Peace Convention held in the town of Dover, Delaware, on or about the 26th oil. This meeting was large and enthusiastic. Mr. Whitelev was a late Representative in Congress. Hear him in the State of Delaware : He addressed the tax-payers and voters, and "no Philadelphians." Immense ap plause They were assembled in State Convention to deliberate upon the great question of the nation and age. The ''lax payers" were to decide for peace and its blessings, or war and its horrors. With the origin, right or wrong, of the present diffl culties, they had nothing to do. They had not participated in bringing about tne exis tinS troubles, and they could not, theretore, eiija"e in mis u an it iu.ii wai . There was no man in Delaware in favor of secession. The speaker appealed to his votes and acta in Congress, and those of Senators Bayard and Saulsbury, and also of M. W. Bates, to decide as to whether he did not strive to avert the contest, and pro tect the old flag. But the Northern fanatics had said war to the knife, and the knife to the hilt. The Speaker had been branded as a traitor by such and forbidden to 'pro claim his feelings before his feilow citizens. The benefits of peace it was not necessary to portray. t Let the people look facts in the face, and ak what was better for the Union than peace. He and the Democracy of Delaware of all shades Breckinridge, Doug lasi,, and Bell were for quiet at all haz ards. Eleven States had gone out of the Union, which he deplored ; but they were determined to go out and had gone acting upon the glorious principle that the De mocracy derived its power from the consent of the governed. They 8.000.000 of free men had resented continued aggression and intermeddling until the election of a Black Republican placed the last feather upon the backs of the people, and they had calmly, quietly, but determinedly retired. In God's name, let them go unmolested ! (Applause.! Would Delaware give money or men to hold States an conquered provin ces ? or allow the seceded States to be gov erned by free people in whatever manner thev chose to be governed ? Three cheers for the Confederate States! The Speaker delineated the present pros tration ot business, and asked if art, trade, and homes should be so ruined that 8,000, 000 of people might be oppressed ? No! no! The great Douglas had said that war was absolute and unconditional disunion. A coercionist, therefore, was a disunionist, and should so be branded. The first f,nn of Sumpter tolled the death knell ol the Union, and each gun since had still mote estranged the sections, until now, all were in arms ! Could the South be subjugated? -'No! no!"'J Never, said the speaker, while brave hearts dwell in Virginia or Texas! When the Colonies, in the name of God and civil liberty, revolted, with three mil lions ot yeomanry, they drove out armies of mercenaries. So now. The subjugation of the Southern people would be accom plished at the Greek calends never before. When was the contest to end ? If it took three months and 250,000 men to advance ten miles ioto Virginia, when in the name of God would Gen. Scott feet to New Or leans ? Immense applause and cheers The speaker alluded to the regiments thai had been rolling into Washington, at an expense of one million dollars a day. All the wealth of mines and kingdoms would not restore the country to its ui. embar rassed condition. Anc all expenditure was needless, as there were not men enough in the North to conquer a free peo ple, fighting for their rights, even against any odda. Nine tenths of the Delaware regiment were liell men and Democrats. ' On the lfith of July they would take the back track home, thoroughly disgusted with Scott and Lincoln. Where were the one hundred and fifty Zouaves, said Whiteley, that left Gen. But ler and never came back? They had deserted, and the reasons were pla.n. Kuin and starvation had sent the regiments to battle ; and they were hireling troops.who knew no enthusiasm but avarice and gluttony. In 1961 tbe war would still be in force if the North persited, and the South would be stiil bravely struggling. Who would not therefore, favor peace now, if ages would still produce the same result ? Let the tax payers of Delaware come forth for peace, which would accomplish all that war could do. War would bankrupt the nation. The richest and the poorest of the people would be becgars. Look into the cities ! In Phil adelphia, there was not a single solvent merchant in Market street. No man, unless employed in making arms or military clothing stealing from Govern ment could now do any business whatever. Those who had made fortunes in Dela ware made them by the arts of peace. How much belter off was Government to day? Its loan was barely taken. The 15.000,- 000 could not be supplied, and $9,000,000 alone was accepted at 85 cents upon the dollar; the remaining be;ng issued in treasury notes. Government would either issue treasury notes of the denomination of $5, or come down to direct taxes, either of which would besgar Delaware and the Bank of Dover. In direct taxes they would proceed as on a former plan, and tax cattle, stock, crops, and even window panes and time -pieces. Were they ready to be thus pot to the proof of their devotion to a fratricidal war? The speaker thus expatiated, a long time, upon the loss resulting to the Blue Hen State Had they a Constitution? They used to have, before Abraham Lin coln was inaugurated. He (the speaker) dared say to Abraham Lincoln that no act of his had been either legal or constitution al since his inauguration. He had broken the Constitution. He bad called for three years volunteers, in the face of the charter of our liberties, which prescribes two years as the utmost lime for calling out troops by the Chief Magistrate. He was therefore a traitor and perjured. He had stationed troops in Maryland literally subjugated the Slate. He had suspenJed the writ of habeas corpus, and made his brigadier generals . ... rail - 1 executives ol his tyranny, lie naa arogaieu the right to send a file of roldiers to the home of a citizen, and endungeon him in Fort Mctlenrj or Fort Delaware. He had thus gone forth, trampling upon all law however sacred. Should they then recognize the South, or conquer them unconstitutionally under this despot? Voice Fight 'em. Great hissing and disorder Mr. Whiteley Yoa can't whip them! Applause and hisses. When was it ne cessary for Governor Burton to Break the Constitution of Delaware ? and should Lin coln, perjured as he was, break the great Constitution of the Union ? "Necessity" was the plea of tyrants. ! and in this case the tyranny was greater, perpetrated onder the name of liberty I The Constitution, alone, made Mr. Lincoln President If he violated it. he should be banished from WashinRton. Great applause. Lincoln was, even now, maintaining a military des potism ! The speaker quoted from Minister Webb, in the New York Courier, to show that lh PnnkKnonc miihul tn nSlitaraln &tat tinea and centratizs and focalize tha Govs rnraeal Such was the natural result of denying State rights ! Cheers. Delaware had been (ft one time twenty- ) five" years under the denomination of Penn- syivania. na nopeu to uoo it would never be twenty-five minutes under - Pennsylva nia's domination again. Cheers 3 The Legislature of Delawaie would never appropriate a penny lo carry on the war. Those troops Irom the State, ambitious of being shot, might go to fight for Lincoln if they pleased. Let them look to their pay. The speak er admonished the landholders that their acres would soon be taxed. H drew largely upon the fears of the people at this juncture and likewise upon his own ima gination. He said the Delaware regiment was made up of the refuse of Philadelphia regiments, and was a foreign affair altogether, without claim of sympathy from Delaware. Should Delaware tax-payers pay for Pennsylvani- ans enlisting to fight the South? -'No! No!" But should native Delawareans fight? In God's name, no! Cheers War in any circumstances he deplored and despised, as criminal, fratricidal, tyranical The speaker here referred to a letter in The Press of Wednesday, signed by the initial ol a citizen of Dover. He prefaced his remarks by assailing the editor ot the Delaware lnquiier, and then read the letter referred to, with the signa ture of R. He evidently believed K to be a promi nent Douglas Democrat ot the town, whose office fronted the Mand. Looking toward said office, ihe speaker menacingly asked the party suspicioned to appear. Great shouts of "Come out," "Show yourself," "Tear him out," &c No one appearing, he next made some strictures upon the editor of this paper, which lost effect from their intrinsic vulgar- ity. "A reporter of Forney's is to be here," said Whiteley. "Where is he? Let him come upon the stand. Where are his Phil adelphia ruffians? I wish they bad ap peared. The grass on Dover Square would have been green this summer had we seen them." Loud cries were made here for the re porters, who eat meanwhile looking amused ly over the heads of people from a neigh boring window. In the interval, somebody proposed three cheers for Jeff. Davis and groans for "Old Lincoln !" The remainder of Whiteley's remarks were indistinctly made here, owing to thb great confusion. He had evidently goae beyond his depth, and the fears of bis not less treasonable a sociaies probably caused his sudden retrie ment. After the avowal that there were no Se cessionists in Delaware, his violent remarks appeared strangely inconsistent. Said Whiteley, by the way, is a lawyer of broken reputation, of New Castle. He was Congressmen for a term or two, and was a seceder from the Charleston Convention with James A. Bayard. He afterwards at tempted to lake his seat at Baltimore, and was soundly thrashed by Samuel Townsend Esq., of his own county. Man Killed. On Friday night about nine o'clock, as we learn from the Clearfield Re publican, a man was shot on the Bellelonte and Erie turnpike, one mile east of the "Black Moshanon," under tbe following circumstances : Daniel Swab, and his son John, a lad about 14 years of age, living at tbe' Beaver Mills, went out in the evening to watch for deer. The elder Swab went to a lick a short distance irom the turnpike at the point above mentioned, and sent bis son to watch a crossing on the road. The boy had watched for some time, when he saw at the distance of about eighty yards something moving in the road which bs supposed to be a deer. He at once drew up his rifle and fired, when he discovered (what his criminal carelessness had before caused him to overlook) thai the object he in bis haste had taken lor a deer was really a man ! a traveller on the road, who, as soon as the gun cracked, came running toward the boy with great rapidity, exclaiming "yoa have 6hot me 1 lam djing!'' and then falling heavily upon the road. The boy, who was much alarmed, called for his father, who came out of the woods, and the two then went up to the man lying on the ground. He was dead, the ball having completely severed the jugular, and passing downward came out just under the left shoulder. The father and son at once raised the alarm, gave themselves up. and remain in costody to await investigation. The deceased was a stranger, and noth ing could be found on his person to identify either his name or residence. His pockets contained only a knife and a small piece of tobacco. He was six teet two inches high, of muscular build, had very black hair, sal low complexion, heavy dark eye-brows.and a scar about one inch and a quarter in length running np and down on the right side of his right eye. He had a high nose, a broad chin, and not a very heavy beard. Aged probably thirtyfive. Some suppose him to have been a dis charged volunteer returning to bis home in Armstrong county, at least a man filling the same description and making such repre sentations passed through Mileeburg oo Friday about noon. Others who 6aw him after he was shot, thought him to be a man, who, about the 15th of June, passed through Philipsburg driving sheep, but nothing pos itive has been ascertained. He was buried in Philipsburg on last Sabbath. From the above description, we are in clined to believe that this unfortunate man was none other than Isaac Keller, who was tried and convicted in the U. S. District Court, at Williamsport, last week, for rob bing the mail in lR59,and escaped from the custody of the Marshal on Wednesday eve ning. Patriot and Union.

A call having been posted, a meeting was held at Flynn's Hall, on Saturday eve ning, 1st olt., for the purpose of organizing a White Labor Association. The Hall wan densely crowded, and many were enabled to gain admittance. The meeting was or ganized by choning Joseph E Vanleer as President : and John Louder, Richard Hntchins, Bela Crane James Lambert Pat rick McGrath, Thomas Shields, Michael Taylor Gilman Converse and Christian Schleppy as Vice-Presidents; and C. F. Bowman and Harry Hakes as Secretaries. The President then stated, that although the civil war had hardly commenced, thou sands ol Southern negroes were already es caping into oar State ; that, at the present time, wages bad been necessarily reduced and additional labor was not needed ; that the snbject was in all respect one of imme diate and paramount importance; and that we should express oar views fully and clearly. The meeting was addresed by Dr. Hakes, C F Bowman, James Lambert and R. B. Chase. No injustice or persecution toward our resident blacks was suggested or meant in all that was said and done, but the policy of making oar btate the receptable for all the ranaway vicious, improvident and help less negroes of the South, at a time when our own population are suffering, was great ly doubted and strongly opposed. The following resolutions were unanU mously adopted . Whereas, Oar present civil war has been eagerly sought and is now being nsed by abolitionists as a fit opportunity to persuade Southern slaves to rebel and escape, and multitudes are now settling in Pennsylva nia ; and Whereas, This is against the pres ent interest and future welfare of our peo ple, violates the Federal Constitution com plicates and aggravates inter state difficul ties and leads to disunion; therefore Resolved, That we oppose and denounce all attempts lo throw Southern slaves or lre blacks upon the soil of Pennsylvania, and their settlement amongst us as lending to destroy the remuMraiion snd respectability of white labor, and to fid tbe land with ser vile paupers. Resolved, That we will support no man for either branch of our Legislature who will not pledge himself to vote for a repeal of the so-called "Personal Liberty Bui,' which now invites and defends the fugitive slaves ; and also for a passage of a law against the settlement of additional negroes in our State. Resolved, That we will vote for no man for any office whatever, who desire to grant to negroes the rights of citizenship, as has been done in Ma-sachosetts, Ohio, New York and other States. Resolved, That these proceedings be pub lished in all the papers of this county. (Signed by the officers. The Programme for Celebrating the "Fonrlli" at B loomsb urg.
