NO DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE IN THE
XXIId CONGR_ESSIONAIL DISTRICT.
Below we publish the official proceedings
of the Democratic Conferees of the X XIId
District,"held at Bakerstown on 'l'hursday.
It will be seen that contrary to all the usages
of the Democratic party, the Conferees have
left the five thousand Democrats of the Dis
trict without a candidate. If the Democracy
are satisfied with this bold sacrifice of them
selves and their interests at the shrine of an
acknowledged Black Republican, who, accord
ing to his organ, " stands where he has ever
done so far as regards the principles and
platform of the Republican party," we are
not, and no sound Democrat ought to be.
We shall, at another time, express our views
of this act of treachery to the Democratic
party. The proceedings are as follows:
The Conferees for the Twenty-Second District
met at Bakerstown on the 16th inst. All pres
ent, when on motion, Hon. Samuel Marshal, of
Butler county, was chosen President, and John
Swan, of Allegheny county, Secretary.
On motion of Col. James A. Gibson, John
Graham, Esq., of Butler county, was declared
unanimously - nominated as the candidate for
Congress, after which, the following letter from
Mr. Graham was roc , ,.‘ived and read:
To the Democratic Conferees of the Tweettu ec
District—
GENTLEMEN: I respectfully decline the nomi
nation for Congress. Yours„\ c ,
JOHN GRAHAM.
On motion, the declination of Mr. Graham
was accepted.
On motion, John McKee, Esq., was substitut
ed as a Conferee in room of Lewis Z. Mitobeli,
who was permitted, st his own request, to with
draw, when—
On motion of Col. James A. Gibson, of Alle
gheny county, Lewis Z. Mitchell, of Butler coun
ty, was declared unanimously nominated as the
candidate for Congress, after which, the follow
ing letter from Mr. Mitchell was received and
read:
To the Democratic Conferees of the Twenty-ascend
Dittrict=
GENTLEMVN : I reepectfally decline the nomi.
widen just conferred upon me.
Yours, &.c.,
LEWIS Z. MITCHELL.
On motion, the deblination of Mr. Mitchell
was accepted.
On motion of Nelson Campbell, Esq., it was
Resolved, That it is the sense of this conference
that it is inexpedient to make any farther e&
forts to nominate a Democratic candidate for
Congress for this District at the ensuing election.
On motion, the Conference adjourned.
SAMUEL MARSHALL, President.
A. CamPima!, Secretary.
JUDGE MEANS has been nominated for COW,
gress by the Democrats.of the Steubenville
District. iii - the Judge is a popular man, and
as the opposition are divided by the running
of an independent Republican, it is very pos
611ile that he may be elected.
The Gazetir, of Thursday, is out in a long
leading editorial eulogy of %adieus Patterson,
the "man up a tree," and institutes a coma
parison between him and Thomas Farley, the
Democratic'candidate,—a genileman of pure
morality. sound judgment, enlarged exferi
ence in public business, and in all respects of
unexceptionable character. The great pop
ularity whiell Mr. Farley has acquired among
the r popip of the county of all parties, and
to which the purity of his character and the
SEPT. 17, 185?
uprightness and honesty of his political course
most justly entitle him, has altogether dis
heartened the friends of the - or.paying tax
collector of Indiana township, who kept the
people's money in his pocket during a year,
when they were most pressingly in need of
it. and so the Gazette comes out in a long ti
rade of abuse of the Demoemtic nominee for
the most important office to be filled at the
coming election. This tirade does not require
a single word of rejoinder. Nothing that the
Gaz,tfr, or any other Black Republican jour
nal can ay regarding Mr. Farley, can injure
him in the slightest degree, or abate one jot
from his well established popularity. He has
held various stations of public trust and re ,
sponsibility, and, as a public man, he pre
sents a clear record. In office, or out of of
fice, no man ever impugned his motives or his
actions. He never deserted a friend, and he
never had anv enemies. On the contrary,
Mr. Patterson, in the only office which he
ever held, that of tax collector for the county,
was unfaithful to the trust reposed in him.
Zacheus, the pure, the patriotic, the non-pay
ing Zacheus, according to the Gazelle, is not
an office seeker. The Gazette knows better.
Zachens has been seeking this very office of
County Commissioner for years, but he was
not bald in sufficiently high esteem by his own
party In sliNsre , l in getting a nomination until
nowr and the chief regret of the party to
which he belongs is, that he was ever nomi-
Dated at all. But with all his office seeking,
Zacheus never rose higher than tax-collector
in Indiana township, and this was higher than
he deserved, r_s his retention of the public funds
in his own pockets clearly proved. He can
never be elected Count 3 Commissioner. He
has neither the qualifications for the place,
nrir thi eoutitlenee tif the tax' payers that he
will l more faithful in his duties than he was
in lndiftrift township aq a collector. The Re
publicam, themi-lves know and :iay openly
that they +refer an Inme,t and capable man
preferene and endeavors to destroy it by mis
representing, and abusing him. It is all to
In this instance Farley is
-the office seeks the man—

Ii ultie Surlier—
nut the man the office, and Thomas F ar l e y,
the Democratic candidate, is that man.—
Zuheus will lie permitted hp the people to
remain suspended amid the umbrageous fulis
age of that tree which he ascended the mo
ment the tax payers were informed of the
state of his tax duplicates. That framed eer
title:lto was too late, and those who kindly
loaned him a portion of the means to obtain
it are beginning to look blue at the prospect.

The tic admits this
ke Thomas rlrley
NOT TRUE:
Bath c ring at Birmingham, were not
brought to our office at all. Between ten
and eleven o'cloolc at night, after we and all
our iissi,tants had left the office, a person
called upon the fo'reman of the news room, and
offered to write them out, but he very proper
ly declined to insert them unless approved by
some one of the editors of the paper.
We might state the reason which the fore
man gave us the next morning for not wish.,
ing the long continued presence in the office
of this volunteer reporter, but as we believe
his errors are errors of the head and stomach
—not the heart---we decline to increase his
blushes, which have become somewhat chronic
about election times.
A foreman who would take the responsi.
bility of inserting matter (not advertis-,
ments) in the eoh.inins of any newspaper,
would be unfit for his position. Subsequent
ly, when one of the editors of the Post, at a
still later hour of the night, was informed
upon the street that the foreman had refused
to insert the proceedings without authority
from the editors, he said that ho would cheer:,
fully return to the office and cause them to be
published, were it not that the forme had al
ready gone to press. The proceedings would
hare been inserted, had they been furnished at
the office in time for the morning's paper, or
had they been handed to the editor or either of
his assistants.
The matter is one of trivial importance,
hut the True Press, determined to mis•reprc..
sent us, pretends to base upon this alleged
refusal, which did not take place, the asser,
tion that the Post does not " consider the
ticket now in nomination, as a Democratic
ticket." We no not expect aught but misrep
resentation from Black Republican journals
like the True Press, the editor of which,
knows that the Post from the day of its nom
ination has had the ticket at the head of its
columns and advocated its claims for elec.
tion, not only as an out and out genuine
Democratic ticket, but as so far in advance
of that placed in the field by the Know Noth
ing Mongrel Black Republican party to which
Mr Williams belongs, that there is no com
parison to be made between them.
As to the publication of proceedings of
Democratic meetings, we shall be most happy
to lay them before our readers at all times,
when they are furnished us at a timely hour
and in a proper Ompr, but our foreman is
not authorized to act as editor even in our
absence, arid his refusal to insert matter is
not the refusal of the Post, as the editor of
theTra Press well knows, and nothing but
his Tom Pepper proclivities, could have in
duced him to make the statements he has
done.
Mr. Taylor's Benefit
To-night is set apart for Mr. Taylor's benefit
at the Theatre. The strong counter attrac
tion across the street, has prevented him
from having, during the week, as large audi%
ences as his tine talent and capital delineations
of some of the finest characters of the dra
ma have merited, but those who have visited
the Theatre have been richly repaid. Mr. Tay.
for possesses a line figure—a rich, flexible
and powerful voice, an expressive eye and
face, and is well skilled in the knowledge of
his profession. He dresses with great good
taste and presents his characters with exceed
ing care, skill and discrimination. To-night
the plays are Virginius, and . A Day After the
Wedding, and we hope to see a crowded
house on the occasion.
MR. BENJAMIN, of Louisiana, has declined
the mission to Spain, offered him by the
President.

The number of the Weekly Pc4l published

friends at a distance would like to receive.
It can be had at the counting room, in wrap

journal containing, all matters of interest as
they occur, full market reports, and a large
amount of literary and miscellaneous reading,
costs hut dollar a year in clubs of five. Now
is the time to send on your clubs.
A PUBLIC SCANDAL..
A Convention of Free Lovers has just
closed its sessions at Utica, New York:; The
papers very aptly style it the " Nasty Con
vention," and with great justice, for the pub.
lished proceedings are an illustration of how
nasty blasphemous women and men, claim
ing to be respectable members "(if society, may
become, when the bars and barriers which
decency has placed to hold
,in cheek their pru
rient proclivities, are only partially let down.
We think the papers which have published
such minute details of what was s ud, ancl
women too, in this nasty Convention, hare
committed an outrage upon their readers.
The subject is too sickening to contemplate.
It is fortunate that such persons as composed
hie Convention have no power to carry uu
their infamous doctrines. We agree with the
New York .Nos in entering our protest
against such Conventions as those .at Rutland
and Utica. Those who compose them , should
be indicted as nuisances, dangerous to the well
being of the people. A Mrs. Julia Branch,
one of the speakers, if she te not a depraved
and degraded prostitute, is insane, and
should be confined in a lunatic asylum. We
hope the m0r,.1 sense of the country will not
again be outraged by Free Love Conventions,
or Coventions of male and female prostitutes,
or if such assemblies do meet, it 18 to be hoped
that the police will take charge of them as
they do other disorderly characters.
Great Democratic Gain• In Maine.
The news from the Maine election is highly
favorable to the Democracy. Two years ago
the majority for Fremont in the State was
was thirty thousand. Last year it was re
duced to twelve thousand. In one hundred
and thirty-four towns heard from the Demo , '
crats had gained nearly four thousand votes
on last year. At this rate the Republican
majority in the State will not exceed five thous
and, being a democratic gain since HSC, of
about twenty-five thousand. Our gains in the
Legislature are even More. One and probably
two Democratic members of Qongress are
elected in place of Republicans I Maine was
one of the States where our friends had no
expectation of gaining anything, they looking
upon it as hopelessly Republican ! Infinite
ly greater will be the public astonishment to
see the strength of the latter so tremendous
ly shaken and nearly overcome.
A nook of Skstckes, by Robert. Morris
The editor of a daily journal has large ex
periences of the various phases of real life.
His daily avocation brings him into contact
with all sorts of people under all circurnstan
e6s. He sees and bears more of the strange,
queer things which arc hourly occurring
in • the world than others. He becomes
acquainted with things, which the gener
ality of people do nut know, or knowing do
not observe and ponder upon: His business
is to find out in advance of the rest of man
kind what the people in this world are doing,
or are going to do. Everything he sees and
hears is suggestive. The pleasures, the
joys and sorrows, the crimes and sufferings,
the good and evil deeds of his fellow-men,
are the themes upon which he discourses to
his readers, the material from which lie
grinds out the mental pabulum, which the
world greedily consumes with its breakfast
every morning.
Mr. Robert Morris, the editor of the Penn
sylvaia Inquirer, one of the most brilliant
paragraphists, as well as correct and graceful
writers in the country, and one whose long
experience in the editorial profession has
made him conversant with many things, has
written a book which Messrs. 'l'. B. Peterson,
& Bros., of Philadelphia have given to the
public in their neatest style. It is entitled,
"Xourtship and Matrimony, with other
sketches from scenes and experiences in social
life." It is a series of short sketches, drawn
graphically like pictures, and clad in a refined
and highly attractive style, and calculated to
inspire a correct moral sentiment as well as
to instruct and amuse the reader. It is a
very agreeable book—a family book—a book
fur every day reading, and such a book as no
one but an editor could write. It is embellish,.
ed with a handsome steel engraved portrait
of the author, and is worth ton times the dol.
lar which it costs. Hunt & Miner, Masonic
Hall, have it tor sale in this city.
A Word about the London Negotiation
hi the Chronicle of Wednesday, we notice
an article taken bo l dily from the money article
of the New York Times, and on the instance
of a gentleman whose integrity we can vouch
for, and as an act of justice to gentlemen,
who have made the negotiation (prominent
and respectable gentlemen of our own State,)
we give place to the following communication
taken from the same paper, the New York
Times. The facts set forth by "One Who
Knows," is the truth, and the whole truth of
that successful negotiation :
To the Editor of the New York Times:
The entire mortgages of the - Atlantic and Great
Western Railway in Ohio and Pennsylvania
amount to $0,500,000, only $ 4,500,000 of
which aro included in this negotiation, the other
$2,000,000 being reserved 1 . ,,r the stocking of
this road—the $2,000,000 pledged as y ur corre
spondent reports. The bonds aro to be delivered
only at such times as installments of money and
rails are advanced. These amount to about $3,-
000,000, not 2,100,000, or ::t.) per,cent on the dol
/dr as your correspondent reports.
The profits stated to be given to a firm of
brokers in London, and also to a person connect
ed wit h the Bank of England, needs no refuta
tion. It has not a shadow of truth. None
of the offieers, directors or agents of the Com
panies make any commission out of this nego
tiation; or get any bonds or shares, and are in
no way interested in the construction contractv.
The Directors are above collusion and are highly
respectable men.
The negotiation is not conditioned upon the
character (An report to be made by Mr Kennard,
nor has the Mr. Kennard arrived who is to make
the report, Mr. Kennard who is a very skillful
English Engineer is to come out hero and advise
as to the construction of the work. His brother
is now here, but not with a view to this object.
As to the enterprise being little known, Its seen
ritiSs have never been offered to Wall street, but
it is much better known than many are willing to
admit. ONE WHO KNOWS.
Bv.yrrNa IN COURT.—They tell some tough sto
ries about Wisconsin Courts of Justice. and we
are sometimes inclined to refer them to the care
ful consideration of the Marines . , but the follow
ing is vouched for by an eye witness whose " vo
rs,city " is unquestionable.
While a case was in progress before a Justine
away up among the oak openings, a dispute
arose between the defendant and constable in
regard to the time a certain arrest was made.—
One offered to bet five dollars and the other re
sponded by drawing his sheep-skin, and the
money was deposited in the hands of the
" Squire." At this moment a villanous looking
customer who was awaiting his examination for
horse-stealing, exclaimed in astonishment, "Wall
gentlemen I've been a pretty hard customer in
my day, I've drank whisky at the revival .and
played cards in the pulpit, but by a- ' I
never 81419 betting in ,a Court of justice before."

It is with groat pleasure that I once mars
write you, au I first of all I do sincerely hope
that you are well and etijr , yinglife, and you, no

and in a wild and barren country. This letter
I will endeavor to matzo more iu'erosting than
any former ones—my letters From Big Blue Riy

could no doubt cee aod that was rather
discouraged, and had reason to be, but this, all
this, has disappeared, and I. amiin the best of
spirits, although I expert more had times. Wo
are now someneven hundred and fifty miles from
Fort Leavenworth, and about two thousand five
hundred miles from home. We were over two
months coming from Leavenworth, including all
the resting days,—thirty-eight days we 'worn
marching, and the balance; eather for rest, or
waiting for orders. When about nue hundred
miles this side of Fort Kearney, orders came
from ‘Vashiogton for a portion of our command
to return to Lnavenwertb, others to remain in
what is called the Plattedistriet andlioild a fort,
and others to move on to Utah. Tlai.y vitro di

—the Infantry. By this change•, you will, no

Wo nro now on our direct reed to Salt Lake
and expect to be there about the 20th of Scptstii
bor. We took at Fort Latin,io forty-five days'
provision, which is to do Uo all the way. When
wo arrive we will go to our quarters at once, no
doubt. During the month of July I do think
that there were not eight days passed that no
had some thunder gusts, between four or five
o'clock in the afternoon. Immediately after, it
is cold and chilly and continues so during the
night ; and, indeed, my blanket and overcoat 1- ,
little enough rover for me. Some ten nights
since, rather an amusing eireurn , deriee occurred
to my comrades and myself. At about midnight
a heavy storm came up, while we were all in cur
tent fast asleep, (the storms hear are very severe
and rise in a very ohort time) and the first thing
that took place was this—the tent was lifted up,
pins and all, and blown away ; the rain came
down in torrents, and as it was as level ground,
we were soon engulphed in water and mud and
had to get shelter the best way we could.
There is considerable gains on thhiside of Fort
Kearney, snob as deer, antelope, buttalc, fish,
and birds of different kinds, &c.
On the 4th of July wo had rather a warlike
spree with about fifty buffaloes. After being
out of camp about two hours in lhe morning, we
saw the buffaloes et a distance to the right, bet
never for a moment did any one think they would
come near us. I was then in Major Hunt's bat
tery and we were in the front column. Finally
we saw they were coming directly toward us at
full speed, so we halted and expected that they
would pass us in front, but instead of their pass
ing, up they came. face to face, and by their
great speed made the very earth shake under
us. When they were within twenty yards of us,
the Major ordered us to fire upon them. We did
so; the buffaloes frightened the horses and suck
a scuffle has seldomed been witnessed. Some of
t,,e horses turned to one side and run ; some
turned right around and upset two pieces of
artillery, and others were entangled with the
buffaloes. We kept firing upon them and tried
to shelter ourselves as much as possible. The
result of the skisneish was as follows: Two men
were killed instantly, Biz: badly wounded, and
fourteen slightly hurt. Of the lutter'l.,,was one ;
a horse having tramped on my foot, bruising it
slightly. Three horses were killed and many
others injured. Two buffaloes were killed and
a number wounded. Tho buffaloes were brought
auto camp and Our larder bo - untefully supplied.
The only way we can account of this freak
that they must have been attacked by the In
dians.

Powder Plfii Explosion at Entleld—tooyir
On 5; Onti:ly afternoon, o'clock, another
of those constantly expected calamities oceurred
at the extensive mills of the 1117.-. rd Powder
Company in Butield. The company has been in
troducing a new machine for completing the mix
lure, an imitation of one in use at Dupont's mills
iu Maryland. I o the latter, large cylinders of
v; ,ad receive the in,grediettte and a bushel or two
of entail brass halls are introduced, which by the
revolving of the cylinder cempleto the w or k.
Mr. Garasche, superintendent, mstle the eylin
'lees for the Hazard Company of raw hide, think
ing. the danger decreased by the change. 'I he
new mill was a building perhaps :in f ee t square,
with a gentle hill en two sides, and a brook on
the west. The water wheel divided the building:
the cylinder mill being on the east and the glaz
ing mill on the west. The latter had not been
need at all. Oa Saturday the cylinder mill, (two
cylinders perhaps eight feet long, by three feet
in diameter,) was put in operation pulverizing
saltpetre. On Monday, charcoal and sulphur
were atiled in quantity sufficient to make 1,600
pounds of powder. After dinner, Mr. Garasehe
Mr. Colvin (assistant superintendent) and two
men—Ball and Stephen Pays—went to the work.
Nothing more is known of them until the explo
sion occurred at Ii) o'clock. The meaning of
tho terrible sound is too well understood in the
vicinity, and numbers started for the scene from
the surrounding country, quite a number going
down from Thompsonville, four miles.
The building was blown to fragments, but the
water wheel remained comparatively uninjured.
Sonic of the timbers remained on the site ; a
large portion was thrown in a heap against the
hill, and the remainder was sontterrd in every
direction. The first care of those coming to the
ground was to extinguish the fire which had
c.ught among the fragments. Mr. Ball was lye
lug near the sluiceway, four or five rods off ; Mr.
Pays, near the bill, two roils distant; Mr Clr
ainilici was blown about five rids to the northeast,
and Mr. Colvin across the stream, perhaps eight
rods. They were ail dead, bloody and black,
and must have died instantly, but they were not
badly ey.eeptirip- Colvin the upper

and replaced.
The bodies were taken to a room near the office,
