" OiKof the most lamentable features of
the present era is the indications that sur
fnund as, showing with what rapidity the
pt-opl are parting with their civil rights
and liberties, and allowing them to be ab
sorbed try t!e military power, ft is no un
'enmrflen thing to hear men of intelligence
and ' acknowledged honesty jastifying the
most boandleis stretch of military authority,
avenng that the exigencies of the case ds-1
tnand suet an am pi ion. It shows how
men will, under a sta'e of excitement, con
feat to erect the scaffold which may, in
'the end, be used for their ewe execution,
forgetting that the establishment of a bad
precedent, even for apparently justifiable
'ends, can be used to their own destruction.
Of this character is the trial of the men
'sharped with election frauds, by a military
commission, acting without law, and solely
by the 'aothority of the Commander-in-chief
of ibe armies of the United Slates. If
the Presideni can try, convict, and sentence
men to imprisonment, or death, for" offen
ces of a parely civil character, and, com
a it ted against the lawa of a State, then no
man is-safe, and we live under a most gi
gantic despotism.
-The offence committed by these men
was com milted against the the laws of York
Mate, and to those laws tbey are amena
ble The President would have been folly
justified to arresting them there for trial ;
and bad be done this, he would have been
worthy of commendation. But when he
ordered them to be tried.belore a military
commission of his own appointing, it was
a u-crpation of nower trnlv frichiful to eon-
t j c
template. If such things are to be tolera
ted, then we may bid a lasting farewell to
our liberties, and resign ourselves at once
to the tender mercies of military commis
sions.. Etaioeratie meetings.

A. BOY HUNG.
Atrocious Outback. One of the most
shameful, and atrocious outrages ever com'
mitted in this county, was enacted in Jack
son rawmhip on Sunday last,y a couple
of soldiers belonging to :the squad encamp'
ed at Benton Tbey proceeded tothe house
of Mr. EzcniL Cole, a drafted man, and
there made a thorough search for him, with
out success, after which they went to the
barn and there finding Mr. Cole's son, aged
about 16 years, procured a trope, pat it
around his 'neck, and actwd'y hang him,
drawing him vp two or three times until he be
came black, blinded and neirly strangled to
death ; all on account of the boy not being
able to tell the whereabouts of his father.
These are the facts of the case as near as
we can write them. What is the -ce-a ntry
coming-to! Is that wbat General Couch's
soldiers are in Columbia county for to bang
people These things are entirely wrong,
and need redress.
The laerleao Flag Torn Down t
AM'CIellan Banner and a beautiful Ameri
can Flag were yesterday stretched from
the St. Charles Hotel to the premises of Mr.
Shilstone, Scraaton, en Penn Avenae ; but
last night tbey were cut from their fasten
ings,' stolen and carried away. The prpe
tra'ors of the infamous outrage will doubt
les receive an appointment Irom Lincoln
(or bis daring achievement.
At the dead hour of night "when church
yards yan, and hell itself breaths oat con
tagion to the world," these miserable cow
ards and traitors sneak from their biding
places Knd cut down the emblem of our
proud nationality.
Democratic lectins in' Jerseytown.
The Democracy of Madison held a meet
ing in Jerteytown on Saturday evening
last, which was largely attended, consider
ing the coldness of the weather.
It was organized by the appointing of
James Marpbey President, James John
ston and W. W. Smith," Secretaries.
The meeting waa first .addressed by C. G.
Barkley, Esq., of Bloomsburg, in a sort and
spirited speech, warning the people of the
dangers tbat must result front the re
election of Abraham Lincoln.
He was followed by Col. Wm. Brindle of
Muncy, Lycoming county, the brave and pa
triotic champion who with Geo. B. McClel
lant gallantly defended the American Flag
in the war with Mexico. The Col. in an
able, eloquent and forcible speech clearly
showed the hellish designs of the party in
power, and the great importance of a re.
torn to the principles of Jefferson ian De
mocracy, as the only means of preventing
(he erection of a monarchy on the ruins or
our free Republic."
The next speaker was E.' J. Ikeler, of
Millville. Although the evening was very
unpleasant, be, as well as those who pre
ceded him, held the close attention of the
crowd until a late hour ; being frequently
interrupted by the much delighted audi
ence with, "three cheers for Ikeler."
After the singing of tome patriotic songs
by Iram Derr and bis sons the meeting
adjourned with three cheers for the speaks,
McClellan and-the Union.

The returns received by the lying tele

appearances for McClellan and Seymour.
7 he Democracy hare achieved a splendid
victory. The country is safe the Union
will be restored, and peace again reign
supreme over the land.

November 4, 1864
Editor Star : Messrs. Beckley and Wil
son of your place, addressed a meeting
here on Thursday last, on "the Issues."
The speeches were pithless hrranfcues in
favor of Lincoln's Shoddy administration.
We did not hear Mr. Beckley. but we did
Mr. Wilson. The latter gentleman com
menced in a religious strain, contrasting
Jews and Gentiles, Moses and wise Solo
mon, with the supporters and executor of
this great administration. He said Lincoln
was the man, although he blamed him for
one thing ''because he did not bang that
arch traitor Vallandigbam when he return
ed." Now, Lincoln himself, said, that Val
landigbanf bad done nothing, but be sent
him away for fear he would. Since he has
returned Lincoln dare not touch him. He
is awake to the conseqaences such a move
would make. A Rebellion is brewing in
in the North fast enough. Mr. Wilson also
preaches up that bogus report of iftcClellan
being on a gunboat during one of his bat
tles. Speaking of McClellan he said he .
dined and supped with such men as Val
landigham, Seymour, Wood, etc. as '.ho'
u were a disgrace for him to keep the com
pany of our best men men who never did
business "in a small way." He also spoke
about The Star of the North, called it a
traitorous sheet, and said it should properly
be called ''The Star of the Sooth" because,
we presume, it shows op-his faithlessness,
and censures tbe imbecile, Lincoln. He
spoke of the two platlorms the Union plat
form made at Baltimore but did not say
that army contractors and government offi
cials made it. He spoke about tbe "peace
or traitor platform;" called Chicago a se
cession hole, et cetara. He then spoke
about Slavery. By tbe way, on one of the
front seats (reserved of course) sat a splen
did specimen of miscegenation. Wonder
if the Reverend brocght her with him.
Gentlemen, if yon cannot hold a meeting
without holding contrabands too, yon bad
better stop. But, perhaps we mistake. - If
yon preach nogro equality by all means
yon should act it. He said Lincoln did not
issue his Emancipation Proclamation as
President of the United States, but as commander-in-chief
of the army and navy, as
a military measure. If he remembers Lin
coln when he first became known in pub
ic life, a verj few years before his uoroi-,
nation in i860, he will know that he al
way s inclined towards abolitionism. He
sajs Lincoln said that he bad do indication
to interfere with Slavery in the States, and
that he had no lawful right to do so. If we
read Mr. Lincoln's speech aright, we sur
mise be said "I have no inclination to in
terfere with Slavery in the States where it ex
it3 and I believe 1 have no lawful right to
do so." We never doubted the Reverend's
truthfulness, but this strikes us as condemn
ing. and according to bis religion no Demy
oct a t can enter the Kindom of Heaven I He
then addressed a few words to the ladies,
three-fourths of his auditors being such, lik
ened "Copperheads" to one ot Tennyson's
poems, and concluded with, "Thoo great
and good men Abraham Lincoln and An
drew Johnson are the ones to do these
things." Cheers were given, and the soog
of the Star Spangled Banner polluted.

The following extract from a letter from
Geo. D. "Scott, formerly of -this pi ace, and
for a, long time Principal of orr Common
Schools, and now of Reading, JPa.. will be
read with painful interest Mr. Scott is a
highly intelligent gentleman, of unquestion
ed integrity and veracity, as all who are
acquainted with him know, and what he
says is entitled to the fullest credit. Here
bim :
., Readiko, Oct. 27, 1864.
I witfh now to state what I know
about the most infamous outrage that has
yet been perpetrated in Pennsylvania I
allude 13 the facts connected with the Col
ombia county arrests. Friday night 14 of
those released stayed in Reading. I will
relate the account of tfbttit treatment as told
me by several of the men. The most of
them were seized in the morning before
breakfast. Some were no: yet folly dress
ed before the whole party was hurried to
Philadelphia. In the -evening, for the first
lime since tbe preceding -day, they tasted
food. Forty-five were placed in a cell in fort
Mifflin, aboat 50 by 18 feet, nder gronnd,
the walls wet and the den so dark that in
cloudy whether, nothing couldabe seen
without a candle. Criminals, in all jails I
know anything abotrt, have beds or cots to
sleep on ; these men were deprived cf so
great a luxury, and compelled to lie on
boards until within a few days previous to
their relerse, rhe. two were given them.
Tbey were allowed but one blanket each.
Their "living" consisted of pork, tread
and coffee. Occasionally beef was furn
ished. Frequontlyihe meat was spoiled.
Some, perhaps, would stop here in this nar
ration ; but tbe conaideration of delicacy
sball not prevent me from telling the worst
part of this horrid affair. Tbey were com
pelled to eat and sleep with their excre
ment In the same room ! During the first
two weeks sickness brought on by a change
of food, water, &c, caused them to fill a
tub the size of a half barrel, twice a day.
This was emptied into the bay, and from
the bay, their mddoy, filthy water was
pomped for coffee and drinking. One of
the victims died a few weeks since in a
hospital near the Fort. He was an old man
with beard and bair whitened with the
frosts of 58 winters. Another is nearly dead,
and several are sick with the diarrhoea.
One also has been a soldier and bears the
marks of battle.
The men were very intelligent, and bore
every appearance of candor and innocence.
Their time in the fort was occupied a good
deal in reading their Bible and singing
hymns. Tbey were mostly, if not all, plain
farmers. I heard no such talk about re
venge as would be beard from many thus
treated, and they only spoke when address.
Oo doubt all or either of them would be
willing to make affidavit to tbe correctness
of mj statement.
What has these men done that tbey
shonld be subjected to such barbarious
usage 1 Tbe fact that alter 51 days of such
incarceration, they were released without
charges even having been maie without a trill,
proves that they committed r.o crime Can any
one claim that these proceedings were le
gal? If there be any such 1 would refer
them to say nothing about the Constitu
tion of the U. S to Sec. 22, Art. 9, of our
State Constitution, whichsays, tho"Military
shall always be subordinate to the civil
power." To Sec 6, which says, "The
right of jury trial shall be inviolate " To
Sec. 9, which requires a 'sPeey trial."
Viewing the matter with regard to these
references is it not plain that these men
should have been tried before your former
townsmen, Jodge Ewell 1 At all events
who can justify 51 days of such incarcera
tion without trial 1
The affair happened in par!, doubtless,
to gratify the spirit of certain Columbia
County abolitionists. I know many of the
fanatics there to be extremely malicious.
Col. Piollett was defeated probably by these
and other arrests. Men were seized elec
tion day before voting, and retained one or
more days, while many others ' fearing the
horrors ol Fort Miflln, kept from the sight
of soldiers who ,where riding about the
streets. This is but one of a host of simi
lar outrages tbat have been perpetrated in
different parts of the Country. Lincoln has
established the system of things producing
such results, therefore he is responsible for
the results. If these infernal acts are p re
sisted in much longer, tbe people will use
all the power God has given them to be
come free. Yours truly,
GEO. D. SCOTT.

THE WAR.
There is no longer any doubt that Sherr- j
dan has withdrawn all his ou'posis, anfl
that 'bis army is now concentrated oo the
north bank of Cedar Creek. Manassas
'Gap, Front Royal, and Strasburg have afl
been given op. The Confederates have
occupied rhem. The Manassas Gap Rail
road is abandoned. Trains now run from
Alexandria only out to Thoroughfare Gap,
to carry supplies to General Augur, Who
holds that place, but has no connection
wifh Sheridan. Beyond that piece the rail
road is torn op. Thus, Sheridan is exactly
where he was before the battle of October
19. The enemy are now advancing north
ward, and these withdrawals of the Federal
outposts have been made tor fear of an at
lack. Sheridan now gets bis supplies from
Martinsburg. His men are hard at work
building a railroad to carry stores from
Harper's Ferry to Winchester.
Four Confederate steamers are now re
ported to be capturing Federal vessels off
the Atlantic seaboard. They are the OIus
tee, Tallahassee, 'Cbickamaoga and one the
name of which is unknown. Reports come
to us of the destruction of Federal vessels
from all quarters.
There is a rumor tbat General Botler is to
supersede General Dix in command at New
York.
STILL LATER.
Genera! Hood's army has crossed the
Tennessee. On October 25th the main
body had reached tne Trc-Tthern bank. The
crossing was made just west of Florence,
twenty miles east of the Mississippi State
line. Hoed's forces at one marched down
the Tennessee n4 captured ifee Federal
gunboat Undine, of which we were advised
some time ago. Hood then loaded this
boat with troops; sailed; pan the Muscle
Shoal, landed them on an island below ;
and sent a land force along tbe north side
of the river, to co-operate with them. The
Undine was then destroyed by her captors.
Two Federal gonboats soon came to attack
the Confederates. From the shore and tbe
Island, batteriea opened fire and the two
gunboats were destroyed. Nothing has
been heard from Sherman, and no one
seems te know his whereabouts. John
sonville, on the Tennessee River, below
Florence, is besieged , by Hood. There is
no news Irom Atlanta.
Plymouth, in North Carolina, stands on
the sonth bank of the Roanoke, about six
miles from Albemarls Sound. The Roan
oke forms three separate streams at the
month, and Plymouth is on the southern
one We have Sonthern accounts of i's
capture by the Federal naval fleet. Tbe
gunboats advanced up the middle river,
and then turned down the stream on which
Plymouth stands. It had but a small gar
rison, they fought until all the cannon were
dismounted, then blowing up the forts,
evacuated Plymouth. But small loss was
suffered by either side. Plymouth was
captured from the Federal troop last spring.
General Butler is certainly in command
at New York. Six regiments of troops
wera sent to him on Saturday and Sunday,
to superintend the election.
At Peterburg nothing'is!doing, and noth
ing has been heard from Sherman, or At
lanta. Grant is preparing his winter quar
erst. Five Confederate cavalrymen have at
tacked a switch tender on General Grant's
supply railroad Irom City Point, and killed
him.
The Confederate newspapers are filled
with rumors of a Confederate vicory over
Stbele, in Arkansas, but we hear nothing of
It through Northern sources.
Oswego, New York, is now a scene of
fright from imaginary raiders. Gen. Peck
has gone there. The anxiety at Buffalo
has been relieved by the non-appearance
of the raiders.
In Kentucky the guerrillas are again very
active. In Missouri, Rosecrans' army is
returning from the western part of the State
to St. Louis.

FRDXCJJ BREAKFAST AND DINNER
OWING to the very hich price of Coffeel
and the great djfflculiv in proc oring a good.
unitorm and reliable article our customers
have often expressed a wih that they
could be supplied from first hands. It was
the intention of
The Great Amerlean'Tea Companr,
to do a strictly Tea business, but as we
have had some customers living at a dis
tance that have relied opon us to supply
them exclusively with Tea and Cotiee, it
being inconvenient from them to come to
New York, The Great Tea Coffee Empo
rium of this country and as onr Tea Tas
ter was possessed of information relating;
to a Coffee that could be furnished at a
moderate price, and give universal satis
faction, and at the same time afford the -retailer
a handsome profit we have been
compelled to supplv those panies. THIS
COFFEE HAS BECOME SO POPULAR
with our customers and their sales have)
increased to such an extent that we hare
been compelled to make large additions to
our machiner), which will enable as to
supply a few more customers with it. We
will therefore send it to those who may.or-
"fi is fast SUPERSEDING ALL OTHER
COFFEES. This coffee bas been oerl lor
more than a centnry in Paris, and since
its introduction into this country, it has
been in use by nome of the leading French
Restaurants here. The Parisians are said
to be the best judges of coffee, and the
great favor in which it is held by them i
the best recommendation that can be pro
duced for i.s fine flavor and healthy effect
opon the human system.
We put op but one grade of this coffee,
and that is of a quality that our customers
have found from experience will give per
fect satislactton and mee all the demands
ot their trade. It is tbe lowest price that
we can commend.
We do all nor business on the most ex
tensive scale, buy by the carso and sell at
only two cents per pound profit.
We put np this coffee in barrels only, of
125 pounds each. This method of potting
it up saves from 2 to 5 cents per pound to
the customer, and by its being in a large
quantity it retains its fine flavor much
longer in this torm than in any other. We
send with each barrel Show-Cards, Circu
lars and Posters, to assist the dealer to in
troduce it to his customers. We hope our
customers will take pains to have them
well posted np and distributed, as it will
be to their advantage to do so.
This coffee we warrant to give perfect
satisfactfon, and if it does not please, tbe
purchaser bas tbe privilege of returning
the whole or any part of it within 60 days,
and having his money refunded together
with all the expenses of transportation both
wavs. - - .:..
We issoe a Price Circular of our Tea
apd Coffees, which we nn glad to sent
free to all who wish it. Consumers of cot
fee should enquire for the French Breaklast
and Dinner Coffee and be sure thai it waa
purchased ot the GREAT AMERICAN
TEA COMPANY, Importers and Jobber
