'v A Word to enr Patrons.
...After, a peninsular campaign of nine
oion?h we once more enjoy the privilege of
- . talking to our readers through the columns
of l he Star, which paper, we promised our )
Jpatroaa, on our bidding them adiea for
nine months, "unless sooner discharged,'
f Jet fpa) you many friendly visits.'
Once more al the -helm, and desirous of
. putiliohing the Star, we would most re
, apectfully solicit a continuance of our for
mer patronage. We shall endeavor to make
. the Stir readable, Democratic, and useful.
It. f ball, as heretofore, support Democratic
principles and measures, swerving not in
the least from the true cause of Democracy
as laid down by its iounders. The , Fall
campaign is just commencing and bids fair
r to be Jt spiriied one both parties having
? mid a their nominations for Governor
thus making it rather a desirable time to en
ter iniothe publication .of a paper. Now
is the time people need reading matter, and
lh!y wiil not do without it when it can be
psrefcased so "cheap, in the shape? of a
new-onrnal. A newspaper is . decidedly
thu cheapest reading a man can buy, say
nothing ol its being the most instructive and
uiefol in a family, especially where there
are little children commencing to read.
Erery family, every roan, should encourage
th sir local paper, acd by so doing they
w3ofd enable the editor to publish a cheap
er and better paper. Notwithstanding the
riae in the price of paper, during our sus
pension, the terms of the Star will remain
' o tcbanged, single subscription two dolors
a year in advance. If not paid or. til the end
ot lh'8 year we wiil be obliged to exact two
dollars and fifty cents for every subscription.
Trailing our paper will merit your routin

- This county has held its Convention and
formed its ticket. " It bas, we believe, made
gaod nominations; such nominations as
vi ill command the entira support of the
Democratic party of that county. Hon. G.
I. Jaczson has been re-nominated as the
choice of bis county, for Member of tbe
. Ieg sla'ure, subject to the decision of tbe
District Representative Conference. He
itcnld be nominated, he is wonby an J
- competent to Gil the position, besides the
Member being due bis county. His con
ferees will oe all honorable means to e
iroro his nominations. - With . Jacksow and
J ons C' Ellis, of Montour, on the ticket,
re can beat the Opposition in the District
handsomely. We understand Mr. Ellis is
soldiering in a company commanded by
'-aj'taia Thomas Chalfant, editor of the
DaiisilU Intelligencer, which company is
mujtered irr for three months unless soon-
; er discharged. They are under command
of Major General Cocrh, in Pennsylvania.

det.cunced as "Copperheads" by those abo-

indy CQrUc Re-aoainated. '
The Convention that met at Pittsburg a
few days ago nominated as their choice for
Governor Andrew G. Cortin, our not worthy
Incumbent. 'This Convention was rather
musical for a time, if we may indue from
1 the proceedings: Some diBtricts sent two
sets of Delegates who contested each others
sears in Convention. rThe Convention was
made op of Abolitionists, Republicans, and
Uriionites, together with a clever sprinkling
of government jobbers, robbers and con
tractors. A handsome mess,' indeed, as
sembled to nominate a Governor ! After
comparing slates, and discussing wbo
could bring the most emhusiasra into the
campaign, a ballot was taken, which re
sulted in the nomination of Andy. John
Covode, of ''Smelling Committee" notorie
ty, was, as usual, on hand with delegates,
ready to use all fair and honorable mearV
to secure his nomination. Several other
candtdfcteaHtheir names we do not remern
ber, were present urging opoo the Conven
tion that they had claims paramount to
ihoe of Ai.dy Cnrtin. But the Convention
could not bJ induced to do anything else
fave make the nomination us gone forth.
Curtin last winter had it annonr.nced, or j
made , the announcement himeif, that he
would not be a candidate for re nomination
but would seek ome other post of profit in
the affections of Father Abraham, at Wash
ington. A few months longer and the peo
ple will set him out into private life; they
will pive him a discharge exempting him
from ever serving in thesame position again.
It will not be a discharge rn a certificate of
physical disability, but one of incompeten
cy and dishonesty. It will be numerously
approved, on the 6econd day of October
next.
While the Government jobbers are circu
lating all kinds of false reports about our
worthy caudtdaie Hon. Gto. W. Wood
ward the home organ of Gov. Curtir is at
tempting to make capital against him with
foreign born citizens by reviving the stale
and often-refuted slander that ha proposed
in the Reform Convention to exclude for
eigners from the elective franchise. There
is something so superlatively impudent in
the attempt of Governor Curtin's friends to
curry favor with foreigners that it challenges
our wonder. They must count largely up
on the stupidity of citizens of foreign birth
if they imagine that the Irish and Germans
can ponsibly forget that Governor Curtin
was a leading member of the Know-Noth
ing party, that he was Governor PJlockrs
Secretary of the Commonwealth at d chief
adviser, and that he solicited the nomina
tion of the Know Nothing members of the
Legislature of 1855 for United States Sena
tor, and was defeated by the superior ad
dress of Simon Cameron. Foreign born
citizens recollect that only a few years ago,
when it was popular to be their enemy,
Got. Curtin was their implacable foe, ming
ling his voice with the bigoted mob in de
manding the destruction of their political
rights, while Judge Woodward was in the
ranks of the Democracy, bailing ' with des
perate courage against the oJious heresy
and in the defence of the im per. led liberties
of foreign born citizens. I think that I can
count on my fingers mora vote than Gov.
Curtin willinake by cour.ing the favors of
foreigners. They are not quite so stupid as
he and his friends seem to imagine.
the Draft in Lancaster.
The Lancaster Evening Inquirer,
the
30th says :
"The business relating to the draft is pro-
i gresging rapidly towards completion at the
rrovost Aiarsbal s office. Already nquads
of soldiers have been sent out through the
county lo bring in tho-e conscripts who
have tailed to report, and those who have
made up their minds to treat with imperii
ty Uncle Sam's call npon their time, wiil be
apt to reconsider their determination when
they see the claim enforced with gleaming
bayonet. Up to the present time but fmt
teen men have been equipped out of the
number required by the dratt."
The same paper has already published
the names of &5I of the drafted men who
have been exempted for various cause
The litt will probably be swelled to more
than double that number. It strikes us as
somewhat singular that in the "loyaP
connty of Lancaster, usually giving from
4,0J0 to 5,000 Abolition majority, but four
teen men have voluntarily reported and
been equipped. The rest of the couscripts,
it appears, will not come, and must be co
erced at the point of the bayonet. This
does not confirm Forney's assertion that the
draft is "popular."
Meeting in Sogarloaf.
A Democratic meeting was held at the
public bouse of Mr. Ezekiel Cole in Sugar-
loaf, Colombia coonty, on Saturday last,
which was addressed by Col. Tate. The
attendance was, as auaf, large. The meet
ing is said to bare been rery harmonious
The speaker delivered one of his telling
addresses, which was frequently applaud
ed. If is almost astonishing tosee the
large number of people at these Democratic
gatherings. They all profess and manifest
a determination lo sopport our worthy can
didate forGovernor George W. Woodward.
Cortiucan not get one Democratic vote in
this county, and we know of several'lle
publican rotes he will not receive. Thev
hare seen and learned sufficient of him to
cause them to forsake him for a better man.
The Abolitionists still persist in calling
Woodward a "Copperhead." It would not
sound pleasant to electa Copperhead"
orer loyal Jndy, ibe soldiers friend," but
the people are going to do that rery thing
They had better drop the name if they do
not wish to be made ashamed of their con
duct after tbe election.

The Fall Election' and the Democratic State
I Central Csmmitice.
The coming fall elections are the meet
important ever held, or that are likely ever
to be held, in Pennsylvania. . They involve
nothing less than the reserved sovereign
rights of the Stale and the civil liberties of
its three millions ol people. It is not ex
travagant to say that on the result of the
contest will depend the question whea'ler
Pennsylvania shall, any longer exist as an
independent Commonwealth, or be ab
sorbed, with all her sister States of the Cc n
federacy, in one Consolidated Government.
Any man of sense knows what such an is
sue include; be knows that, with the loss
of State sovereignly and independence,
muft pa.-s away forever all the inestimable
privileges and blessi ngs of free popular local
government, and that in ibeir stead will
be substituted the unrestrained and prob
ably irreeiMible and irresponsible role of
one grand central despotism. Therefore,
the election that must decide snch an isuue
as the above, is inexpiessibly important,
and, surely, the interest which every citi;sen
may take in the election, should be corras
Tondingly earnest and active.
The Democratic Slate Central Com
mittee bas a great and vital work lo do, und
we trust that it will do it thoroughly und
well. It comprises, happily, much of the
best political talent in the State. Its Chair
man is a gentleman of eminent ability,
I unsullied character, and unconquerable en
ergy. Alt of his associates are well-known
in l heir reopective districts, and able to
give him efficient support in, his arduous
labor. Un'.iring individual and co-operative
effect is what the crisis demands of the
Committee, from this time to the close of the
canvass. The organization of the p.iriy
should be perfected to the very utmost pos
sible degree perfected in parts and in the
aggregate iu every separate election pre-.
cincl or ward' and in the whole State. Ev
ery vote that can be relied on for the con
servative, Democratic ticket, should b.j so
known and located that it may be reached
and made available on the day of election,
beyond perad venture. This will require
every member of the State Central Commit
tee to work diligently in his own immedi
ate district, and to be quite as punctual and
assiduous in working with the whole Com
mittee in its colective action.
It s not possible, nor is it necessaiy to
state all that should be done in the project
tion of the canvass. Our purpose is rather
to speak of the surpassing importance of the
i mpending election, and lo urge on iivery
true man every citizen who lovei. his
State, who values constitutional liberty and
union, and who would avert the destmtion
of his country, by preventing all radical in
novations on the nature aud organisation
of its political system, compound of the
State Governments and the Federal Govern

can personally do in this canvass for the

KeGkiian ant! the Fight at Cettyibnrg.
Some of the Abolition journals have
positively denied the statement, that at tbe
battle of Gettysburg, the Federal troops
fought under the impression they were led
by McClellan. But the evidence of the
fact accumulates, and we now have s'ill fur
ther verification of it m the following from tbe
correspondent of tbe New Yoik Commercial
Advetttser, a paper whose Republicanism
will not be questoned by the most radical :
Previous to the battle a report was receiv
ed to the effect that General McClellan had
but himself at the Lead of the new militia
force, and was hastening to their sopport at
Gettysburg. Tbera was a grand outburst of:

Who is the Traitor !
A few months 8go the New York Tri
buue, said : "For the Uuion we have no re
gret,' and we do not wish to see it restor
ed." About the same time the editor of the
OA Guard wrote : "Give u back the old
Union, under the Constitution framed, by
our fathers we want no other, and will
never consent to anythiug Iesi." Now the
Tribute denounce us as a traitor and a
eympsthUer with rebellion " If tha editor
of this journal is a traitor for wishing lo
save ihe Union what is the editor of the
Tribune for wishing to destroy it. Old

It will be remembered that Captain F.
W. Hcrtt, one of General Bobksidk's As
sistant Quartermasters at Cincinnati, was
arrested about the 27ih nil. on account of
appropriating Government funds to bis own
use. In the Mount Vernon, Ohio, Banner,
we find the subjoined, which enlightens as
as to who this "loyal" fellow is:
This Captain Hunt is one of tho editors
and proprietors of the Ohio State Journal,
the Abolition organ at Colombo He is
coining money, and buying palatini houses
out of tbe profits and stealings ot his office.
Of course all such patriots desire the war to
gn on, and they are very noisy in calliug

Thc Abolitionists io New York have con
tributed 824,000 to supply the wants of tbe
negro families who suffered during the late
riot in that city. This is humane and rery
commendable indeed. But we fear that if
tbe sufferers had been white instead of black,
those philanthropists would not hare open
ed their purses so freely. Know-Nothing
mobs hare frequently raged in our large
cities with equal violence, but thi sufferers
were chiefly while, and the consequence
was that no such sum of money was erer
raised to supply their wants and necessi
ties. It may be but a matter of taste after

,1 The Distrnciion of Canton, Kiss."
A letter from Jickson, giving an account f
oiLof. Bussey's expedition against Can
ton, says : . .
"At five the forces moved into the town,
which is one of the most beautiful places
in the South, a town of about fifteen hun
dred inhabitants. The Junction of the
Mississippi Central with the New Orleans
and Jackson Railroad makes it a place of
considerable importance. At this place
was located the 'Dixie Works,' containing
twenty lour forges and machinery for the
construction of gun-carriages and materals
of war. This establishment has been in
successful operation for the Confederate
uovernraent. It was completely destroyed
by our forces. They tore up and burned
six miles of railroad track in the vicinity
of Canton. They also ' burned - thirteen
machine shops and railroad buildings, wiih
alt their contents, five locomotives, fifty
cars, aud one hundred thousand feet of
lumber belonging to the Confederacy.
Jackson burned the railroad depot and six
hundred bales of cotton as he was leaving
the town. Not a dollar's worth of public
property was . left in Canton. Colonel
Bussey also sent a force of cavalry and des
troyed a pontoon bridge over Pearl river.
He a bo burned the railroad bridge over
Big Black river, twelve miles north of Can
ton, with one mile of trestle work and the
depot at Way's Bluffs. The expedition re
turned to Jackson last night, having lost
about twenty men."

The following is an extract from a pri
vate letter written by Dr. Gordon Winslow,
who has been connected with the Sanitary
Commission since ii was organized. The
statements therein crnlsined are very im
portant, and, coming from the source they
do, must be more reliable ihan any yet re
ceived in relation to the battle ol Gettys
burg :
Gktttabi.bg,, July 27th. Dear : You
have ere this learned that I am azain in
he field with the Sanitary Commission.
It is a field wiih which I am familiar. I be
lieve, in all its parts. Few, however, know J
or imagine the value ol its operations ex
cept those who see theaosolute necessities,
not to say luxuries, uuppiied to our sick
and wounded soldier. The wagons and
agents ot the S initary Commission were oa
the field in the very midst of battle, long
belore any other supplies were within
reach. My first work was to visit all the
rebel hospital, obtain the number of woun
ded, atieiiian a, physicians, &c, &c. In
hospitals exclusively devoted lo them I
found some even thousand, and in o:her
portions of the field where they were min
gled with Union men about the same num
ber. In all, the wounded on our side am
ounts to fourteen thousand two hundred
(14.200) and on the rebel side to about 16
to 18,000. The killed were nearly equally
divided, amounting to about ten thousand
making an, aggregate of killed and wound
ed forty thousand and two hundred. Q.iite
a tittle army. It bas been our work to lake
care, as lar a possible, ol this army of
wounded men, or rather to suoply material
for others lo do it. We have for the last
two weeks, been sending off by rail some
six or eight hundred daily, all of whom we
leed at the depot, and have large lankt ot
water placed in the cars, a surgeon and at
teodaiiis viiih stimulants, and anodynes,
&c., &lc. We have a large depot at the
railroad station, wiih tents to accommodate
some three or four hundred, which have
been full nearly all the lime, day and night,
though regularly shipped twice a day as
soon as one crowd lett ' another came, all
waiting, as at the pool, for their chance for
healing meats and drinks, and for convey
ance to soihe distant hospital. We are now
erecting tents at the general hopital tor our
stores, and probably in a week or two shall
Hind it unnecessary to remain longer in the
city. The battle field is very extensive and
is visited by thousands.

enough head stout enough, and brain big
enough,'' to meet aay emergency. Every

The Grand Attack Fixed for the nth Inst.
Charleston Bar, Aug. 105 o'clock P.
M General Gilmore has notified Admiral
Dahlgren that he will be in readiness to
open the grand assault on Thursday, the
I3ih instant.
The Navy is already, waiting for the ar-
o -.nai me nght, it is believed, will
commence on that day.
The greatest confidence is felt as to the
result.
The fall of Forts Sumter, Wagner and
Cummings Point is regarded as certain to
take place in lrom two to six hours after
the ball opens.
A deserter from Fort Waguer says that
two-thirds of the guns have been removed
from Fort Sumter, and mounted on James
Island, and that the fall of Sumter is regard
ed by the rebels as a certainly, the damage
done by the Monitors in April last render
ing the possibility of the rebels holding it
not to be thought of.
The deserter sajs that Sumter was on the
point of surrendering at that lime, when,
fortunately for the rebels, the Monitors
withdrew.
We have a shelling night and day. Fori
Johnson keeps up a brisk fire, and our
wooden gunboats go in every day and
amuse themselves by shelling them.
At night the rebels shell our land batter
ies and we shell ihem in return.
On Sunday next we will certainly hold
Sumter, and within a few days after Charles
ton or its ruins will be in our possession.
Two more mortar schooners, making
five in all, and the wooden gunboats are
stripping for the fight.
The weather continues delightful, though
there is great suffering for ice, lemons and
sugar. Cannot Boston or New York send
some cargoes here for the use of the gal

The breaching power of the lo inch 300
pounder, Parrot rifle gun, now about to be
used against the brick walls ol Fort Sum
ter, will be best understood by comparing it
with the ordinary 24 pounder siege gun
which was the largest gun employej lor
breaching fortifications during the Italian
war.
A 24 pounder round shot, which starts
with a velocity of 1, 625 feet per second,
and strikes an object at the distance ol 3,500
yards with a velocity of about 300 lest per
second.
The 10 inch rifle three hundred pound
shot has an initial velocity of 700 feet per
second, at a distance of 3, 500 yards.
From well known mechanical laws the
resistance which thee projectiles are capa
ble of overcoming is equal to 33, 750 pounds
and 1,6 14. 150 pounds, raised r,oie foot in
a second respectively. Making allowance
for the difference ot the diameters of these
projectiles, it wia.be found ihat their pene
trating power wiil be as 1 to 19,6.
The penetrauo.i of the 24 pounder shot
at 3, 500 yards, i4l brick work, is 42 inches.
The penetration of the 10 inch projectile
will therefore between six and seven feet
into the same material
To ose a more familiar illustration the
power of the 10 inch rifle shot at the dis
tance of 3, 500 yards, may be said to be
equal to that of the united Mows of 2C0
sledge hammers, weighing 1P0 pounds
each, falling from a height of ten feet and
acting upon a drill ten inches in diameter.
The II iff Gun Lo-t Overboard.
New Yor, Aug 13. It is reported ry

M orris Island, and all efforts to raiae it had
proved unsuccessful.
A New Hero. General Bubnside is at
last a hero ! Foiled at Fredericksburg, he
has conquered in Kentucky. Obeying the
mandates of his masters at Washington, ho
took such measures, during the recent elec
tion in that Slate, as to secure what is call
ed and rejoiced orer by the Abolition press
as a Repulican rictory. The moment he
proclaimed martail law in Kentucky his de
signs where made plainly manifest and no
one who had any respect for liberty or law
failed to regard with utter contempt tbe dis
graceful operations of this miserable tool of
a fakhless and imbecile Administration.
He has at length won a battle, and be
should at once be promoted for his brilliant
services. It is lo be hoped that his late suc
cess will not turn lopsey-turvey the small
quantity of brains that were left' him after
he dashed a gallant army against the iron
wails of Fredericksburg.
