The Gazette winds up'an article about
Gen, McClellan in regard to the old
slander about the gunboat as follows
"Physically, mentally,moralli, milltarll y, and
in every other way George H. Motnellan is a
very "little man " Oopperheadit, will ask, with
an &trot triumph, why trouble yourself then so
much about hinil Our answer is, for the name
reason that a wasp is more troublesome to a lion
than an elephant."
But how is it that he is the only wasp
that has been giving the Abolition lion
so much and increasing trouble.

MB. EDITOB:--We hear a great deal
about the interest the loyal men take in
the soldiers, but I have yet to see that
interest' exhibited. In Allegheny coun

who nightly harangue the loyal meetings
and pass , resolutions of commendation
upon the c

would b te,y / is this county to, be the
paragon of' pelrfection, but nary a word
do you hear about those who have served
their time faithfully, and, after getting
an honorable discharge in, the field, have
been waiting for the last three weeks
for the government' to pay them off.
Some of the men live hundreds of miles
from here, and, by the time they re
ceive their pay, there will be very little
left for their families, perhaps not enough
to Carty theft home. Well, if these
mendiad re•enliated no doubt they would
have.promptly received their pay. 1
merely mention this to show you that
once men are discharged from the army
tii Go'fremment gives little heed whether
they are paid or not, for the reason that
it can't have them under its thumb to

A Curious Correspondence
The Abolition managers or Mr. Lin-
coln at Washington, have thought it
necessary to send over the wires a little
correspondence which purports.to have
taken place between the. President and
General , Grint,,lain:Aptill„ The Presi
dent's note runs thus: . -
E.SECHTtVE MANSION •
WASHINGTON, Akril 30, 181 A.
: TO Litnienartf Gttiercif Grirtri:
Not expecting to see - you before the spring
campaign.opene 1, wish to oxpress, in this way,
my entire satiefaction with what you have dune
up to Hine time, solar as I understand it. The
particulars of your plans 1 neither know nor
seek In know. You are vigilant and self reliant,
and pleased with this I wish not to obtrude any
restraints or constraints uponyou. While lam
very anxious that any 'great disaster or capture
of our men in great numbers shall be avoided, I
know unit Ulnae points are less likely to escape
your attention than they would mine. If there
ue anything Wanting which is within my power
to give, do not tail to let me know it, and now,
with a brave army and just cause, may God
sustain you. Yours, very respeetfully,
A Li ncoin.
' The only reason the Abolitionists can
have for raising this letter, which is
'witty six months old, is to prove that
:Grant and not Lincoln is to blame for
not capturing Richmond. The President
'promised to give everything the General
required, and not even asa to be made
acquainted with his plans. Allowing
then, -- that the President has kept his
word, as every one knows he has, ai
least in furnishing men, how do we
stand? May, June, July, August and
•nearly September have gone and lo Rich
mond is not yet taken!
How different is this letter of Mr.
Lincoln to those he wrote to 'General
McClellan, during the first year of the
rebellion? Then he kept up a constant
cry "to cover the capital' by all means,
and was constantly interfering in Mc-
Clellan's operations. He wouldn't re
inforce the army when McClellan dem
onstrated its necessity, and instead of
givingliim all he desired to crush the
rebellion, the President through Halleck
dismissed him because "he was toe slow
in bagging Lee's army." Since then
the resources of this powerful Govern
ment have been wasted in experiment
ing•on overland routes,and Grant is not
quiteas near to Richmond as McClellan
was two, years ag6. Having failed so
, shamefully to accomplish the capture of
the rebel capital, it is but proper that
!Grant shduld let "Honest Abe" relieve
'himself of the responsibility of the fail
ure. Had McClellan permitted himself
to be thus used, and Written letters to
'suit every 'political occasion, he might
have been still' in the command of the
Potomac Army. But he told the truth,
when -he charged the Administration
with "a want of brain," and his sudden
dismissal was, of course, the goalie
quence
Ilas'G row!' Tirettoe It
•
The Pittsburgh Contmercial has grown
tired of watching the political signs of
the times ; it says:
• "We conithericed to cut from our exchanges,
with the Intention of publishing, the votes on
railroad trains and elsewhere, showing the
prepooderence in favor of Lincoln over
151celblIan; also,test votes taken in hospitals and
canitm, showing that thersoldiers are lour to one
for Lincoln. /tut we Mid that this record would
•occupy so much room in our columns, that we
are reluctantly compelled to omit It"

part of the proceedings :
EstivlLLE, Ps., Sept. 10, 1564.
Titos. \V. GasicsoN, Est.—Dasit Stit
—I only learned to-day, on reaching
home, of my nomination by the recent
Convention as a candidate for Congress.
This manifestation of the renewed
confidence of my fellow citizens with
whom I have been associated for more
than thirty years, is gratifying beyond
expression. I thank thfin for the evi
dence of interest and support thus adord
ed. To merit and have their good will
and confidence under such circumstan
ces, is of more value to me than the of
fice and honors to be Conferred.
Cordially and heartily approving the
action of the recent National Conven
tion at Chicago, and the nominations
there made, and believing the election of
General McClellan to the Presidency to
be the last remaining hope of our coun
try and her free institutions, if I thought
my entering the emvass as a candidate
for Congress in this District, would,
more than any other person, increase•
the strength or afford encourarment to
the friends of the Constitution and
Union in the approaching election I
should not hesitate to allow the use o:
my name as proposed. But believ;m:
others may be selected to effect this ob
ject as well in this emergency, I respect
fully decline the nomination, Von
will, tht refore, withdraw toy name front
before the Conferees in Convention.
I beg to assure my friends that this
course pursued by me will not in the
least abate the interest I shall take in
the pending elections, and the labor I
am able to give the cause.
Yours, very truly,
GAYLORD OrrultCH.
The convention again proceeded to
ballot. After several ineffectual ballot
ings, the name of J. P. Hoover was, by
consent, withdrawn. Another, and the
10th vote was then taken when it ap
peared that W. L. Cot bett, was duly
nominated.
On motion of Mr. McKnight the nom
nation wa- declared unanimous.
On motion Messrs. Foster, Johnson
and McCutehen were appointed to in
form Mr. Corbett of his nomination•
Oninothai the convention adjourned
sine die.
Somnambulism.
One of the most remarkable cases on
record is related by the Archbishop of
Bordeaux in the "Eiai..yclopedie Metho
dique." It was concerning a young
priest in the Catholid Seminary, who
used to rise in his sleep and write ser
mons. Having written a page, he would
read it aloud, and make corrections
"I have seen," says the Archbishop,
"the beginning of one of his sermons
which he had written when asleep. It
was well composed; but one correction
surprised me. Having written at first
the words ce dicin enfant, he hod after•
terward effaced the word dicin, and
written over it adorable. Then perceiv•
ing that ce could not stand before the
last word, he had dexterously inserted
at,soas to make the word cet." Ile
continued to write, although a card was
held between his eyes and the paper.
Did the history stop here, we should
have a well authenticated case of vision
without the aid of eyes.
But the collateral circumstances show
that this writing was accomplished not
by sight, but by a most accurate mental
representation of the object to be attain
ed, as will be further illustrated in our
next case. For after he had written a
page requiring correction, a piece of
blank paper of the exact size was sub
stituted fur his own manuscript; on that
he made the corrections in the precise
situation which they would have occu
pied on the original page. A very as
tonishing part of this report is that which
relates to his writing music in his sleep
ing state, with, it is said, perfect precis
ion. He asked for certain things, and
saw and heard such things, but only
such things as bore directly upon the
subject of his thoughts. He detected the
decao . when wa.ter was givarilaiin instead
of brandy, which he had asked for. Fi
nally, he knew nothing of all that had
transpired when' he awoke, but in his
next paroxysm he remembered all ac
curately; and so liveda sort of double
life, a phenomenon which we beliei e to
be univenal in all the cases of exaited
somnambulism
A DANGEROUS PIECE OF PAPER.-A
new countereit five on the Union Bank
of Philadelphia was issued on Saturday
night, as dangerous as a badly lighted

ca Dan Rice for State Senator.
The "Confetees from this and Crawford
county met at Corry, on Tuesday after
noon last, a brief -session, concluded
their duties by the unanimous nomina
tion of Col. Dan Rice, of Girard, as
the competitor of Mr. Lowry for the
State Senate. We doubt tot that these
proceedings will be endorsed by the en
tire Democratic party of the district,and
sustained by a large number of Repub
licans. Col. Rice is well known to almost
every man, woman and child in the
Lathed states, but by none so . well as
'those id Erie Cotinty. He hat ,iesided
among us a great many years, and,what
ever may be said of him by his enemies,
we defy-any one to prbduce a single
item of testimony, which can detract
frcinihis character as a good citizen, and
hospitable, high-toned, and large heart
ed gentleman. His generosity is almost
boundless; and has earned for him an
enviable distinction in every part of the
country. That he has native talents of
a rare order will be admitted by all who
have ever made his acquaintance. He
would enter the Senate, if elected, with
a practical experience of the world, and
a broad, comprehensive knowledge of
the wants and duties of the people, pos
sessed by few members of that body, and
certainly would be superior in every
respect to the present Senator from this
district. The people - always like a w hole
souled, good-natured and liberal man,
and more supprising things have hap
pened than the election of Col. Dan
Rice to the Senate.
The following letter from Col. Rice to
a gentleman who wrote to him, inquir—
ing if he would accept the nomination,
has been handed to us for publication.
As a statement of his political views, it
will be read with interest:
CINCINNAtr, August. Bth 1804.
Dtt,An SlR.:—Your favour of the 4th
inst., has just been received, and amidst
the pressure of other engagements I send
you this hasty and impromptu reply.
You enquire whether I will acquiesce
in the use of my name as a candidate for
the State Senate in the event of my nom
ination ? In the first place I would re—
mark that the idea of becoming a candi,
date for office has not heretofore been
contemplated by me. My business, as
you know, is one not likely to connect
my thoughts or interests with my poli
tics. Still, as an American citizen, I
cannot but feel a lively interest in the
events now transpiring in our country.
When I see the great principles of per—
,onal liberty and the rights of property
cloven down by the men now running
the machine of Government, "the an
cient landmarks" of the Constitution
"which our fathers set" removed, I feel
like crying, in the language of Holy
Writ, 'cursed be he that removeth r '
them. "And all the people shall say
amen."—My earnest wish is to see these
principles restored,
My proclivities were formerly with the
\Vhig party and my connection with that
party was with a view of preserving
these principles. I now find the Demo.
cratic party alone the only party of pow.
cr to sustain them. To be consistent I
must therefore, act with that party so
long as it adheres to these principles.
Sbonld it he the general desire of the
)emocratie party the Erie and Craw
ford Senatorial District to confer the
nomination upon IBC, I should regard it
as a high compliment, and although its
acceptance would be atteutted with much
personal sacrifice, I should nut feel at
ills rty to refuse. I must be permitted,
however, to say that in my opinion there
are oilier men better fitted than myself
on whom the nomination should be con
ferred. This question I suhmit to their
better judgement.
As t.. meeting and discussing before
people the issue itnvolved in the corn-
ing
contest 1 cannot now speak di tizite
ly. I will tnake every effort, GI - insistent
with my engagements, to render you all
the aid in my power.
Very truly yours,
Fearful Mortality among Color-
Bearers
The corresponden t of the S. Y. Tri
bune relates the following respecting the
Culoi.Bearers in the late battle at Jones-
boro', Georgia
To give a slight idea of the ferocity of
the contest with the 14th Corps on the
Ist it is only necessary to append the fol
lowing facts:—The 14th and 30th Ohio,
in Colonel Este's Brigade of Baird's
Division, ser Color Bearers, three from
each regiment. The 74th Indiana like
wise lost two Color-Bearers. There
were hundreds of instances of heroism
among the rank and file, but I have not
be,'n made familiar with each individual
case, neither would your valuable space
admit of so lengthy a communication.
I desire to mention the conduct of
Corporal Orville C. Young, of the 10th
Kentucky Regiment, for he is deserving
of something better than newspaper no
toriety. This young man,after the color
sergeant Was shot down by his side,
seized the Stars and Stripes, and, amide
perfect shower of bullets, ran in advance
of his regiment and planted the colors
upon the enemy's works. The 38th
Ohio was also remarkably unfortupate
in the loss of its color.bettrers. The color
•sergeant and color corporal were both
killed within ten minutes after going
into the fight. Corporal Joseph E. War.
ner, of Co. A, 14th Ohio, who was by
special orders allowed to carry the col
ors for meritorious conduct of the battle
of Chickamauga, was shot down while
planting our flag on the rebel ramparts.
Corporal John Beely, of the same regi ,
ment, at once took charge Of the colors,
and in a few minutes he received a severe
wound which laid him low, and finally
Corporal Snooks seized the tattered flag
and held them on the works until the
battle was over. Color Sergeant Ben
ner, of the 74th Indiana, was shot down
while bearing aloft the emblem he swore
to protect, and how well he has fulfilled
his sacred promise let this brief notice
attest. As he rushed forward the front
or his regiment wavered a little, not
from tear, hut owing to a confusion in
the lines. Sergeant Benner perceiving
this, shouted as he waved his fin "Come
on, boys, follow me!" What a noble re--
cord in this simple sentence.
A HORRIBLE SITUATION.—Mrs.
Evans, of Mercer county, C. W., a
woman of 36, has had a difficulty in her
stomach for several years. Lately phy—
sicians have decided that the trouble is
occasioned by a live and growing snake
in the stomach. It has now grown so
large that it distends the stomach so as
to produce a bunch upon the oupidp.
large as a quart bowl. Upon presing
this bunch with the hand the reptile re—
coils and uroduces great distress in the
stomach. When meat or fish is being
cooked in the room, if the snake is not
satisfied with food, it rises up in throat,
producing strangulation. When desir
ing food, it manifests it by rising up in
the throat. Physicians see - no jay' in
which this snake can be removed with—
out certain death to the woman. ,0„
Ax Emmett COMMISSION.—The Earl
of Artie, is stated, has gone to the
United States to offer himself It). the Con•
fedtracy as d medium of comniunielition
with the British.,. The Earl will haye a
food tlind getting Into the Ccinfedettiey,

IT is reported that the sales of public
lands this year are seven times greater
than they were last year. This is attri—
buted to the fact that a considerable
part of the very large immigration to this

has gone westward to take up small
farms at Cinvernment prices, and clear

that there will be about half a crop of

We sneeze. a slight, thin, sharp, ichorous

state of facts, or inflammation °tithe lunge, or
congestion may take place, and death may be
with us before we are aware.
BRANDRETH'S PILLS,
Say two, four, or six, according - to age, sex and

In it. Be this treatment, on the second or third
day the disease will be cured. This complaint
is going the rounds, and will be followed by
dlsentery and diarrhma, but they will be cured
by the some process. The wise will have Brand

In the year 1866 Mr. Mathews first prepared
the VEIsCETLIN.HAIR DYE ; since that time
it has been used by thousands, and in no instance
has It failed to givn entire satisfaction.
The VENETIAN DYE is the cheapest in the
world. Its price is only Filly cents, and each
bottle contains double the quantity of dye in
those usually sold for E.
The VENETIAN DY E is warranted not to
jure the hair or scalp in tue slightest degree.
The VENETIAN DYE works with rapidity
and certainty, the hair requiring no preparation
whatever.
The VENETIAN DYE produces any shade
that may be desired—one that will notfivie,crock
or wash out—one that is as pet manent as the hair
Itself. For sale by all druggists. Price 6d cents.

Searetarrof the-Tletutury gives notice

"Si-awry NotealabiiNwee years from An
gut 15th, 1864, With seMi4naual interest at the
4 . 0 of seven and three-iiiiihe per cent, per an
-kat, principle and inteieat both to be paid in
lawful money.
These notes will be convertable at the option
of the holder at maturity, into six per cent. gold
bearing bonds, payable not less than five nor
more than twenty years from their date, as the
Government may elect. They will be issued in
denominations of $5O, COO, 0 0 0,51,000and . 56,000,
and all subscriptions must be for fifty dollara or
some multiple of fifty dollars.
As the notes draw interest from August 15th,
persona making deposits Subsequent to thiftdate
must pay the intermit accured from date of note
to date of deposit.
Parties deP,isiting twenty-five thousand dol-
lars and upwards foe these notes at anyone time
will be allowed a commission of one quarter of
one per cent. . •
Special Advantages of this Loan
IT IS A NATIONAL SAVINGS BANK, offering
the higher rate of interest than any other, and
the beet eeeurity. Any savings bank which pays
its depositors in U S. Notes; considers that it is
paying in tha best cirCulating medium of the
country, and it cannot pay in anything better,
for its own assets are either in government se
curities or in notes or bonds payable in govern
ment paper.
Convertible into a Bii per omit. 5-20
Gold Bond.
In addition to the very liberal interest on the
notes for three years, this privilege of conver
sion ie now worth about three perbent. per( an
num, for the current rate for E.-20 Sonde is not
less than nine per cent. per annum, and before
the war the premium on six per cent, 11. S.
stocks was over twenty per cent. 'lt will be
seen that the actual profit on this loan, at the
present market rate, is not less than ten per
cent. per annum.
ITS EXEMPTION PROM STATE OR MUNI
OIPIAL TAXATION
But aside from all tne advantages we
,have
ennumeratd, a special act of Congress exempts
all bonds and Treasury mites from local iasa
tion, On the average, this exemption ls'worth•
about two per cent. per annt,l7l, according to
the rate of taxation in various parts of the
country.
It is believed that no securities offer so grea
inducements to lenders as those issued by the
government. In all other forms of indebted
ness, the faith or ability of private parties, or
stock companies, or seperate companies, only, is
pledged for payment, while the whote property
of the country is held to secure the discharge of
all the obligations of the United States.
