We tender our acknowledgments to such of

Tho Panama Star and Herald has received
important private advices from Nicaragua,
showing that Walker's position, at present,
is anything but a pleasant one, and inferring
tfcat he will soon be driven from the country.
There are a number of new advertisements
in to-day's Journal, to which we call the spe
cial attention of our readers. A. M. Hills of
fers his stock of goods at wholesale. Tho
County Snpcrintendent gives notice that a
Teachers' Institute will be opened on the 23d
Sept. A tract of valuable land in Penn town
ship, is offered lor sale by A. & 2 Moore. II.
Kcpkart, Jr., also wishes to sell some valuable
property. There are also several other noti
ces worthy of attention.
Democratic Cocstt Ticket The follow
ing are the successful candidates for nom
ination at the Democratic primary election
recently held in this county : Associate Jud
ge Benjamin Bonsall, of Brady township,
n m. L. Moore, of Clearfield borough. Pro-
thonotary George Walters, of Bell township.

Another Coxoressioxal Fight. On Mon
day the 18th Inst., a political dispute occurred
in an omnibus in Washington, between Mr.
Granger, of New York, aged about sixty-five
years, and Mr. McMullin of Virginia. McMul
lin said the South would not submit to the e
lection of Fremont Granger replied, "after
November, it will be made to submit." A
few words more passed between them, when
McMullin clinched Granger, and struck him
in the eye. The parties were then separated.
Tho House has appointed a Committee to ex-
( amine into the matter, and report at the next
.session of Congress.
Gov. Bigler is known to be the fast friend
of Mr. Buchanan, and it therefore caused no
little surprise when he moved a resolution in
the Senate the other day to overhaul the pub
lic accounts of Col. Fremont. The object was
too apparent to admit of a doubt. It was to
create an impression in the public mind unfa
vorable to Col. Fremont. Mr. Hale caused
great laughter in the Senate by saying he was
glad Mr. Bigler had offered his resolution ; for
it was rather tame work, said he, to make
speeches for a candidate against whom no
charges could be made. Tho only thing he
had heard against Fremont before was that be
had ate dog-meat. The reply to that was that
the people intended to give him something bet
ter to eat. They would chase a Buck down ior
him in autumn. Gov. Bigler became very fid
getty nnder the stream of ridicule poured up
on the movement, and the Senate out of mere
pity of him passed the resolution.
Later fro California. The Ariel arri
ved on the 13th, with two weeks' later news
from California, and bringing $1,4715,870 in
treasure on freight. The Vigilance Commit
tee was still in session at San Francisco, and
the trial of Judge Terry had not been brought
to a close. The general impression seemed to
be that he would be banished from the State,
or, at least, would not be permitted to reas
sume his judicial functions. California has
again su&ered from terrible conflagrations.
Nearly two hundred buildings were destroyed
at Placcrville at an estimated loss of $1,000,
000. At Georgetown $100,000, and at Marys
ville $160,000 worth of property havo been
burnt, and just before the steamer left, the
town of Nevada was totally destroyed, the
loss amounting to three millions. Advices
Irom Oregon state that the war in the south-
- ern port i ob of the Territory has been brought
to a close.
Philadelphia. No less than five Fremont
meetings took place in Philadelphia on Tues
day evening of last week. The meeting in
the Seventh ward was immense, and was ad
dressed by Win. Bull, Chas. Gilpin, and by
Chas. Gibbons. The enthusiasm was intense.
The meeting in the Sixth ward was held in a
spacious Hall on Fourth street, above George,
and at an early hour, the Hall, and all the pas
sages to it were crowded to suffocation. Kob
ir! P. Gillingham and Wm. Nicholson ad
dressed tho meeting. The Republican Club
'" t!ic Fourteenth ward held a meeting in
r; rinft Garden, and after the transaction of
oni? business, adjourned with cheers to a
Urge Republican meeting held in tho Xwcnti
ik ward, at the extensive Hall, corner of 19th

Kr.rle addressed the meeting. In the Ninth
vvard a large and spirited meeting was held at

In the absence of tho committee Judge Bar

he consented, and in his usual forcible and
happy style, reviewed the whole hutory of
lumbering operations in this county.
At tho conclusion of Judge B's remarks,
the committee made the following report,
which, being read, was unanimously adopted:

and Centre counties, with a degree of unani
mity unexampled arc opposed to floating loose

rights in this respect the meeting pledges it
self to memorialize the Legislature, as the
first means of preventing the nuisance, and
secondly, to prosecute every man who puts
loose logs in the stream.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed by
this meeting of ten persons, whose especial
duty it shall be to institute prosecutions a
gainst all and every person who bhall hereaf
ter put loose logs in the stream for the pur
pose of floating iu suilieieut numbers to est
ate a nuisance, whether they bo owners, con
tractors, or hands employed to do t he labor ;
and that the members of this meeting will sus
tain them with the means and with every nec
essary aid in prosecuting said suits to trial.

pointed by the meeting, be instructed to ren
der the said committee all the aid necessary

l. Jjuford s men and the Georgians and the
Ter.nessceans remained in Kansas with the
Missourians and erected fortifications, calling

of attack was the only point, and this was to
be immediately after the adjournment of Con

seeing this state of things, knowing that
life or death hung upon the issue, the Free
btate men resolved to meet the crisis like men
They could not wait, for to do that would be
to insure the success of the Ruffians. They
dared not to do it, for not only would their
property be sacrificed, but their wives and
children ruthlessly violated and they murder

meet the foe, and to show him that ho was not

franklin was one of the dens of the Ruf
fians, where they occupied a block-house,
which was attacked and carried. The Free
State men had one killed and seven wounded.
The body of the Ruffians ran like troopers
lour of them were wounded! Sixty stand of
arms, most of which were identified as having
been stolen from Kansas, and some as U". S,
muskets, one cannon, powder and a large a-
mount of stores, were taken. The story about
tho sacking of Franklin, and tho robbing of
the post ofhec there, is not true. The assault
was confined to the marauders' den it began
and ended there.
JN o secret is made of their designs by the
Ruffians. On the 15th, a large meeting was
held at Kansas City, (it should bo remember
ed that Kansas city is in Missouri,) and the cit
izens agreed to send their quota of 2000 men
to overcome Kansas.
The Ruffians say they are ready, have men
and money enough, and will sweep Kansas
with fire and the sword. They talk of nothing
but blood. They swear they will kill the d-d
Abolitionists or drive them out of the Terri
tory, and are prepared to do so. The ruffians
cry, war to the knife. The Leavenworth Jour
nal, one of their papers, says: "Let us be up

ident was too much occupied to see the Free
State agent when he called at the WLite flouse

Sydney Webster, the private secretary of the
President, who informed him that It was his
opinion that tho free State men would have to
take care of themselves ; that tho President
was just now so much engaged that he could
not attend to the matter. With this consola
tion, Mr. Amy left his papers in the hands- of
the private secretary, and took his departure
from the White House.
