Abontsiz o'clock, p m., on Sain rd ay last, a transportation train of thirteen ears arrived at this place, from Harrisburg, loaded with soldiers, numbering in the neighborhood of one hundred, cavalry and artillery. There are two pieces of artillery, ten pounders tcom all appearances, and the balance are cavalry. They reported to Provost Marshal Silver and were marched to the Fair Ground below to wd and encamped. The soldiers look well, conduct themselves gentlemanly, so far as we have noticed, and are one hundred day's men. What is proposed for them to do in this county we, of course, are not informed. Their object may be to in timidate Democrats, arrest drafted meo, or to make the Abolitionists ol this county. feel - more secure in their livea and properly. For the Abolitionists in this county are looking and feeling so guilty, knowing this war to be baptized into a negro war, that ibey may have brought these soldiers here for their own protection. The Abolitionists here know that they have repeatedly abus- "ed and slandered prominent Democrats for opiniou'a sake, and that they cannot con tinue oa in that kind of way much longer, hence they may have felt it necessary to bring some soldiers about them. But this is all useless. Tbe Democrats in this coun ty are a civil, law abiding set of people, and do not mean, nor trill not, harm acy man so long as their rights and privileges are not interfered with in any unlawful manner. If it is the business of these soldiers to hunt up drafted men and bring them to service, " wo think the" experiment will not par ex penses. There are too many chances for those drafted meo to make their escape. Those who have not reported do uet mean .to go or be taken by a Provost guard man acted and dragged into tbe service against their will is something they do not intend to allow, if we do not mistake the sentiment of the non-reportanls. in this county. This county is not alone, in being backward about reporting. Look at Luzerne, Carbou, Schuylkill, and others, if yon please, and you will find ihey are all back more or less. We do not wish our Abolition friends to infer from what is here said that, we are counseling men to resist tbe draft, bat simply giving tbe facts as we know them, let :tbe treason or what it may. There is a lot ol cowardly, sneaking Abolitionists in this place, who are endeavoring to make' it appear to these soldier, that the people in the upper end of our coanty are in open - resistance to all law and order, thai they have thrown ap entrenchments, and formed , companies, for the purpose of defeating any force that might be sent to make their arrest. This ts not the case. It is all nonsense the dreams aud ideas of foo's! The Abo- : litionists of this place, where all tbe mis chief originates, know nothing cf the true state of feeling throughout the county, from the very fact that they go too little among - the people. Why is this, are they guilty of Carrying oa a war ajainst the Dtimocratic party, or is it a cm-ade against tbe instito lioa of slavery) There must be something wrong in (because or they would not have such fears of the people neither would they send for a mil it it ry force. The war; was commenced, the Abolitionists said, for the restoration of the' Union tbe bringing tack of the seceded States and prosecuted upon that plea until the Democratic party was sufficiently deceived, as to get a large por tion cf it into the army, after which the war was immediatelymade'known through Mr. Lincoln's proclamations to be for tbe free dom of the negro. ; It is no longer a war for the Union It is i war for the neVo; Mr. Lincoln has declared it so in his letter to the Confederate peace men, who met at Niagara, not long -since, and in such terms thaujo one can misunderstand birr. Is that the kind'of Union our boys enlisted to es tablish- black Union ? ' How long will thearmy-continue to fight in such a cause"? It looks to us now, that our armies are des ponding, 'heartless, and indifferent as to the result. They Vo not fight as ihey once did. under their favorite General, George B. Mc Clellan. Enumerate tbe defeats our armies have met with since the spring campaign opened, and then cipher up the cause, and see if i! does not always come out Negro ! If the negro -gueslion had been kept out of tbe present difficulty with the South, the rebellion would have been put down two years ago. Then, again, had rhe Abolition ists left the institution of slavery alone, and attended to their own business, there would have been no war. They elected Lincoln upon a platform objectionable to the Sooth for the very purpose of inaugurating a war. They have been preaching and praying for a little "blood leuing" for th-s last thirty years and now they have it J Seward Three Tears ago, "The first object of every human society is safety or security for which, if need be, they will, and they must, sacrifice every other. This security is ol two kinds : one, exemption from foreign aggression and in fluence ; tbe other, exemption from domes tic tyranny and sedition " These aTe the words' of Senator 'Seward as spoken in the United Stares Senate, Jan. 12th, 186 1. W held Ibis sentiment op to the people at this day and ask them wheth er Seward, and the Cabinet of which he is a member, have -net proved themselves tin faithful to the trust in their charge.. The Constitution of the United States guaran tees to every citizen safety and security. Seward and his accessories have overthrown the Constitution and made us to suffer on der "domestic tyranny and sedition.' We request every man who is not willing to bear tbe yoke of despotism to resolve to make any "sacrifice" that may be neces sary in burling lrom existence this "domes tic tyranny" instituted and enforced as a war necessity by the apostates, Lincoln, Seward & Co. . Again, Mr. Seward ta the same speech, said : "Experience in public affairs has con firmed rdy opinion, that domestic slavery, existing in any Stale, is wisely left by tbe Constitution ol the United States excto-ive-Iv to the care, management,aad disposition ol that State ; and if it were in my power I would cot alter the Constitution in that re spect. It misapprehension of my position needs so strong a remedy, I am willing to vote for aa amendment to the Constitution, declaring that it shall not, by any future amendment, be so altered as to confer on Congras a power to abolish or interfere with Slavery in any State." . With such a record upon the pages of history we are compelled to believe that Seward is knowingly placing himself be lore the world as a perjured man Has he not taken a solemn oath to support the Con stitution of the United States 1 Can he, after declaring that experience in public affairs has confirmed his opinion "that domestic slavery, exiating in any State, is wisely left by tbe Constitution of the United States ex clusively to the care, management and dis position of that State," permit himself to act as the principal officer in the cabinet of Abraham Lincoln who not only contro verts this wise provision of the Constitution, but continues a war against the Southern people and establishes "domestic tyranny" over tbe Northern people with the avowed purpose of abolithing domestic slavery? We warn Mr. Seward and bis band of desperadoes that tbe people are cognizant of tbe usurpations of this' administration and being prepared, will, "if need be,' sacrifice every other 'object of human soci ety for "safely or security" and remove "domestic tyranny and sedition." Prorost Siariaal Sifrer. Provost Marshal Silver, of this place, was out-flanked, on Saturday evening last, when on bis cavalry raid alter Mr. Robert C. Fruit and on fee If, while on our business trip to Light Street. He'a me after us in hot haste, with bis sqtiadroa of soraetiatf dozeo or more cavalry, meeting,, not over taking us, near tbe town we bad visited Not halting or arresting us, as wa his er rand, made up by his Abolition friends and partisan advisers, we returned borne nnmo lested. without the sicht ol Fort Lafayette looming up before our eyes. Those iron hand-cuffs, which have been placed on tbe arms ol many an innocent and pore patriot, were not presented for our adornrneot Tbe Marshal sat, we auppose, gracefully upon his horse, viewed us o'er and o'er, and then proceeded oa bis way, leaving bis flanks so exposed, as to afford us ample op portunity to make our, escape. What a Hero! a second Ben Butler! Capt Silver is fast gaining notoriety in this county ; tbe people are appreciating Lis maneuvers ir tbe right manner. Tbe Abolitionists in this place were snre the Marshal had a couple of young Democrats in the right place, up on whom they might have occasion to show their nastiness by inflicting a" punishment unknown to law or reason. The Marshal has bad advisers; and - we recommend, be fore be start out to make any more' arrests, be take. the advice of some- Democrats. Hoar. David B. Mohtgomert, of the State Senate, has our thanks for public documents He is an attentive and able member, al ways on tbe aide of the right and never with the wrong.. . almost Arrested. On Saturday evening last, after the arrival ol about one hundred soldiers, Robert C. Fruit and the Editor of this paper bad oc casion to go to Light Street, and the Abo liiionisln on noticing our leaving town, sus picioned us immediately upon going up Fishingcreek, to give information to those drafted men. No ooner was tbe iact known that we bad left, than tbe Provost Marshal was irumediateiy summoned by these crazy sap-beads and sent with a squad -of 'caval ry in onr pursuit, with orders to make an arrest, bring ns back, and. make an exam ple by having us both bung. The Captain, -with his guard, met us near Light Street, on our return. His squad slightly halted and allowed Ob to pass, without even raying goodevening. Whether the Captain could recognize us at tbat boor of the evening, or whether the matter was a little too deli cate for him to approach, is a question for grave consideration. We were entirely ig norant of being so oar Fort Lafayette until we reached borne, when we learned the true state of affairs. The Captain mnst-cer-lainly'leel a little foolish ; and those who instructed him oa this raid after us, had better keep scarce, as we know how to ap preciate such demonstrations. Those who made themselves the most -conspicuous in attempting to have oa arrested and brought to tbe rope, we are informed, are descen dants ot the real lories Tbe tory blood courses thick in their veins, and their very hearts are as black as the blackest negro in th most extreme Southern States. They do nothing but set about on boxes and curb stones, alandering and abusing their Demo cratic neighbors lor opinion's sake. They are making war upon the Democratic party constantly, in their deceitful, sne.king and cowardly manner. They are ready aiid willing to iocite mob law at any moment, and nothing keeps them from it boi their cowardly hearts. We dare ihem lo under take it ; and say .veTy Democrat go well armed to defend yoarself. your rights, and your property. Be law-abiding, jnst and honorable, in all your. transactions and do ings through life, but be prepared to resist any attempt to disfranchise yon of any of your rights and privileges. Tbe soldiers tbat are here are only the instruments in the band of the authorities. We have sol diered long enough to learn the duties and feel tbe responsibilities resting upon a true soldier, and know that they carry oat in structions and execute plans as laid down by their leaders. They are the subordinate bodies, acting out the will and design ot those presuming lo be higher in authority. Hence, sheeld any property be destroyed, offices sacked, or depredations of any char acter committed, whilst these soldiers re main in our county, tbe people have only to hold these leading ana most influential Abolitionhts responsible for these tosses and retaliate, as the only sure mode of reaching and bringing these scoundrels to their sensibilities. The inaugara'ion of mob law by these fanatics and fools will be accepted by the Democratic party if they ebooaa lo tablUh i. The Democratic Part). The evil of uncontrolled party domina tion in government will be greater or less according to the character and objects of the party in power. The Democratic party, which ordinarily has administered the Gov ernment of the United Slates, even it the utmost plentitade of its power, did not fall into gross abuse or threaten the liberties of the country. Although it required to be checked upon occasion, and that its policy and conduct should be subjected to rigid scrutiny by an active opposition, there was great security against its abuse of its pow ers in the principles and doctrines to which it held ; for its creed was established for it by men of tbe most sterling virtue and pro found wisdom, who justly comprehended the nature of free governments and ibe dan gers to which they are exposed. Strict con struction of the Constitution, a sparing use of the powers of Government, moderate expenditures and equal laws, became the articles of a political creed which preserved the Government from abuse and degenera cy. kept the States in. harmony, and secured the growth aud development ot a material prosperity unexampled in the history ol nations. Its great merit was that it was a constitutional party, (in the true sense of that term.) subjecting itself cheerfully, thoroughly and constantly, to all the rules and limitations of the fundamental law. lis principles themselves, checked it and kept it within bounds. As its contests for power were upon the very ground that there should be no over-action of government but only a due exertion of its authorized pow ers, there was the less necessity to confront it with a powerful opposition. Yei such opposition always existed, and was mi doubt necessary to the safe and successful action of the Government under its man aeement. THE PARTYOF THE ADMINISTRATION But wi:h the party now in power the case is widely different. Its main strength lies in Slates which voted aainst Mr. Jefferson in 1800, against Mr. Madiioa in 1812, against Andrew Jackson in 1828, and against Mr. Polk in 1844 ; and it embraces. that school ol opinion in this country which has always held to extreme action by the General Government, favoritism to particu lar interests, osarpation of Slate powers, large public expenditures, and, generally, to constructions of the Constitution which favor Federal authority and extend its pre tensions. Besides, it is essentially sectional and aggressive the very embodiment of that disunion partyisai foreseen and de nounced by Wahin(ton and Jackson in those Farewell Addresses which they left on record lor-the instruction of their, coun trymen, and by Henry Clay in a memora ble ad dress to tbe Legislature of Keotucky. That it could not safely be 'intrusted with the powers of the Federal Government is a conclusion which inevitably results from This statement of its composition and char acter. Bat the question is no louger one of mere opinion or conjecture. Having been tried by the actual possession of Govern meet powers and base permitted to exhibit fully tu true nature, it has completely justi fied the theory wbicb condemns ir; as will plainly appear from considering the particular measures of policy pursued fby '-Congressional A'Jdreu.

Mr. Editor, Allow v's through the col omsol your pafiEutfthow the public, the inconsistency and dishonesty practiced by a certain merchant and a woold-tm-ichool reacber upot) their snb-axents, who are en gaged in the-sale of Biess& Drake's Smooth ing Irons. Thin firm started out under fair auspices, bearing the fate of honesty, but in the space of a few months, we have been wonderfully deceived and enormously swin dled. It " oold be no more than'jnot, lo stale tbat, 'particular censure should attach to the junior member of the firm, as he made the chief misrepresentations lo us, a to the cost of the Irons, &c In the firs't place this party represented to us that, they had procured the Agency of Columbia. -and, afterwards, Luzerne coun ties, for the .sale of these Irons. This is falsehood No. 1., as they are, nor were not, no-more agents lor Bless & Drake, in these counties, than we are In the second place they declared to their sub-agents that these Irons cost them at Bless & Drake's establishment, in Newark, New Jersey, Twenty two dollars and fifty cts. per dozen; and after some little suspicion on the p'srt of their sub-agents, aa to the first cost of these irens, llrey, or one of the Arm, positively drN&ed that the Irons cost them, at the establishment were made, Twenty dollars. This is falsehood No. 2, and ol a Tnore enlarged characer than the first; as upon inquiry having been made of Bless & Drake , it has beo ascertained that lhe Irons cost them but ten dollars per. dozen and at tbe highest, quite recently, not more than Eleven Dollars ! And lor every dozen ihey procjret 'hey exaried Twenty Four Dtiiar. of their sub tnn pr dozen, thus m jre than dotibirng the;r mon-y whilsi their sub-aent pefi-rm d the har.l work, and the deinedly and wilfully wronged us oat -ef a ia-rr portion ol ibis money. In the last place, to fill the measure of their rascality, they were unwilling to bear f art of tbe damage on cracked and spoiled ror.s. but exacted of us full price, or the eoormous sum of twenty dollars per dozen; tho doubly robbing us, by receiving lull pay for Irons that we were compelled to dispose of at a sacrifice. At last they have been discovered in their dishonest and de ceitful operations; and we take this method of holdrng thuw; f fc 4a-puo4-c eaze in rtreir mure nakedness, and in all their de lormity We would warn the public gen erally to be arch I ul ol these young men, as they seem to practice to deceive, and need to be guarded against. Their opera tions in this matter, we shall, take occasion to herald through the newspapers, from time to time, if we do not see some speedy mark of reformation. To leave them pass tye unexposed would be doing an injustice to the great mass of the community who are advocates of equal and exact justice to all nieu," irrezarJ ot race or condninn.

Sherman does not intend making any more assaults upon the Confederate works, but is manoeuvring to surround them, and com pel a capiptatioo. As Hood's army is as large as Sherman's, we do not see bow this surrounding is lo be accomplished. Gen. Sloe urn has taken command of Gen. Hook er's Corps. Gen. Stanley has taken com mand of Gen. Howard's Corps. On Aog 4'h, Sherman made his last attack upon the Confederate lines. He attempted to push forward his western flank so as to cover the Montgomery Railroad. The advance was repulsed, and the rai road is still two miles distant. Sherman's army is gradually con centrating to the northwest of Atlanta, and the eastern flank is slowly moving west ward. The Federal army may at any mo ment attempt a grand movement around the western side ol Atlanta. Il will meet with strong opposition. It is reported that the Couiederate force sent from Rich.-vunil w aid Hood numbered twenty thousand, aud that Beauregard whs in command. All is quiet before Petersburg. The Con federates stae thai Gen Grant is gradually moving a larze portion of his force away from bis lines, embarking them at Cny Point, and sendiog them down the James River. Beytsj-Mjiket firing there has been no engagement. There is a growing belief that urant can accomplish nothing more than he has done, and that before long bis army will give op the siege. The sickness in camp is fearful, and the Federal force is so depleted tbat now it can scarcely muster sixty thousand men. Gen. Lee has with drawn many regiments from his lines- and sent them to tbe She andoah Valley and Atlanta. The inquiry in the Federal camp as to who was to blame for the failure on Saturday week continues. Meade has suc ceeded in throwinz the blame on Bumside Burnside in his testimony made bet a poor defense, aud appearance indicate that be wiil be punished lor the disaster. Federal advices of ihe beginning of the attack on Mobile have been received. Ad miral Buchanan is captured and wounded. The ir'n-clad !cumeh was sunk by a Confederate orpedo.

Tbe Confederate got out of the way and the iron clad struck the Hartford, a Federal gunboat She is so severelyjnjured that she will have lo come north, for repairs. Bat ten men were saved from the crew of the Monitor Tecamseb, when she sunk. Farragut's loss it tbe naval contest was two hundred and forty-nine killed and wounded. The Confederates pre gradually retiring southward in the Shenandoah Valley. Wright's and Sheridan's troops follow them There are numerous skirmishes with the rearguard, but no impression is made, and all the spoils ot Pennsylvania are being safely removed. Winchester i :ow in Federal poeici ar d the Confederates are a srior-C!;ii-e ou;h oi the town. AI thonsh the Federal troops about Harper's ferry nunihor sixty thousand we presume tnat the Confederates will get off without injury, as they have always done before On Friday a small force of Confederates attacked Mariinsburg and drove the Federal garrison out of the town. They still hold it, and have captured one of Sheridan 'a wagon trains. They will not however make any stand against a large Federal force. The quarrel between Banks and Canby at New Orleans has very nearly come to an open rapture. It is most probable that Banks is beaten. He has sent bit family north and appears to be making prepara tions to give up bis command. Such are the exigencies of the service and the weak ness of the Federal force at New Orleans that a forcible conscription of all men white and black between tbe ages of 18 arid 45 has been made. The conscription is quite as sweepingand unpopular as many of the Confederate conscriptions we read about. A force of one thousand Confederates with two cannon are at Morganfield, Ky., on the Ohio river. Fifteen 'housand others are near by. A raid into Indiana is antici pated. The 'Ohio river is very low and easily forded. A gigantic Indian war is threatening. All (he tribes from Texas to Ihe .British line, are reported lo be combined for a general anack upon lhe'United States forces in the Wtf-;ern Territory. Ge:i A. J. Smith, with sixteen thousand Federal troops, is at Holly Springs, 'in Mis sissippi, near Corinth. KOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. , Lime Ridge, Aog. 11, 1864. We. (he -undersigned, having used the Bless & Drake Self-beaiing Smoothing Iron, in ocr families, lor some time, can testify that they are one of the greatest humbugs In use. -In the 'first place they -cannot be kept hot enough without tbe windows and doors' open to give them plemy of air, &c. In the second place they are injurious to the health of the person using them, or be ing in the room where they are used; as the sulphur causes bickness, and we take this method ol cautioning the public against their use, that thej may not be humbugged out of their money. The actual cost of these Irons is. Eleven Dollars per dozen in Newark, New Jersey. THEO. McD. PRICE, JOHN CAIN, G H FREAS, E H. Hf.SS, VVM. HILL I CARD. To the Peftpleof Columbia County;.

No deductions for com missions must be made from the deposits. Special Advantages of this Loan. It is a National Saving Bank, offering a higher rale of interest than any other, and the best security. Any "savings tfank wbicb pays its depositors in U.S. N6ten, considers that it is paying in the best circulating me dium of ibe country, and it cannot pay in anything better, for it s own assets are either- in government securities or in notes or bonds payable in government paper. It is equally convenient a a temporary or permanent investment. The notes can always be sold for within a fraction of their face and accumulated interest, and are the best security with banks as collaterals for discounts. Convertible into a Six per cent. 5-20 Gold Bond. tn addition ro the vary liberal interest on the notes for three years," this privilege of conversion is now worth about three per cent, per annum, for the current rate for 5-20 Bonds is not less than nine per cent, premium, and belore the war the premium on six p?r cent. United States Stocks was over twenty per cent. It will be seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the preenl market rate, is not less than ten per cent, per annum. Its Exemption from Stale or Municipal Taxation. But aside from all the advantages we have enumerated, a special act of Congress exempt all Bonds and Treasury No'es fiom local Taxation. On the average, this ex emption is worth about two per cent: per annum, according lo ihe rate of taxation in various parts ot the country. It is believed that no securities offer so gteat inducements lo lenders as those issu ed by the government. In all other forms of indebtedness, tbe fait!) Or ability of pri vate par'.ies, or stock companies, or sepa rate communities, only, is pledge! for payment, while the whole property of the country is held to secure the discharge of all the obligations of the United States. While the government offers the most liberal terms for its loans, il believes that the very strongest appeal will be the loyalty and patriotism of the people. Duplicate certificates will be issued for all deposits. The party depositing must endorse upon the original certificate the denomination of notes required, and wheth er they are to be issued in blank or paya ble to 'order. When so endorsed il must be lefl with the officer receiving the depo sit, to be forwarded to the Treasury depart ment. Subscriptions will be received by the Treasurer of ihe United States, at Washing ton, the several Assistant Treasurers and designated Depositaries, and by the First National Hank of jBIooiiisbtirg', Ia. And all National Banks which are deposi taries ot public money, and all lespsctable Banks and Bankers throughcut the country will give further information and afford every faqilily to subscribers.
