Raftsman's Jmtrmtl. -As, S. B. ROW, EPITOn AND PROPRIETOR. CLEARFIELD, PA., AUG. 8, 1860. FOR PRESIDENT, HOW. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, , OF ILLINOIS. ; FOB TICE PRESIDENT, HON. HANNIBAL HAMLIN. OF MAINE. FOR GOVERNOR, ' , , HON. ANDREW O. CURTIN, of Centre Co. OUR COUHTY CONVENTION. . The People's County Convention, which as sembled In this place last Friday, was one of the largest and most respectable gatherings of the kind that has ever convened ia Clearfield. The proceedings were marked throughout by great unanimity, harmony and enthusiasm. The position taken by the Convention, in re gard to National and State candidates, is plain and unequivocal. Anything short of a free and fnll endorsement of Lincoln, Hamlin, and Curtin, would have been moral cowardice, and would, beyond all doubt, have operated against the whole ticket. There is no call, no excuse iors temporizing, we must pursue an open, straightforward, fearless, unmistakable course, we must let the people know where we stand and who we are for, If we expect to gain their confidence and ensure the permanency of our party. The candidates put forth by the Con vention are men of strict Integrity and irro proachable character. Gen. John Patton, the choice of the Conveptlon for Congress, is ac tive, energetic, and reliable, one of the best business men onr county affords, and if nomi nated to-day at Ridgway, his election may bo regarded as certain. Isaac G. Gordon and Michael A. Frank are both well known to our citizens as being worthy and well qualified for 'the position of Representatives in the State Legislature. The conference will perform a good work by nominating them. , Alexander Murray, of Girard, the candidate for Commis sioner, is a man of good moral character, un questionable honesty, and well fitted for the post for which he Is named. Ellis Irwin, the nominee for Auditor, is too well known to the people of this county to require any special commendation at our hands. His superior business qualifications render him eminently tit for that position. We think the Conven tion was peculiarly fortunate In the selection of candidates, and it would be a much more propitious event for the . county should they be elected on the second Tuesday of October. If the masses understand their own interests, they .will not fail to see that they are. ' Douglas Meetings The Douglas meeting held' at Curwensvilio last Saturday evening, drew together several hundred people. John McNaul was selected as .President ; John M. Cummings, Joseph Moore, Patrick Rafferty, Hugh Orr, Jacob Bilger, Abraham P. Bloom, James II. Flemming, Jacob Hoover, John Smith, Sr., Maj. James Blooni, Wm. W. Wor rell and non. Wtn.L.Moore were named as Vice Presidents; and Wm. R. Ilartshurn, Walter Barrett, Jefferson Gates, and James L. Mor gan as Secretaries. D. Courtney Dale, Abram Gates, Daniel Faust, Wm. J. Hemphill, David 8. Flemming, Maj. J. B. Heisey, Dr. H. P. Thompson, John H. Hillburn, John McMahon, A. Irvia Thompson, James Dougherty, Jr., and T. Behan were appointed a committee on resolutions, and reported a series, in which they claim that Douglas and Johnson are the regular Democratic nominees, read the Breck inridge men out of the party, disapprove of the suggestion of the Democratic State Com mittee for a fusion electoral ticket, and de ounce the course of the Clearjitld Republican for its vindictiveness towards the friends of Douglas whilst having bis name floating at its mast-head with that of Breckinridge. Ira C. Mitchell, Esq., of Beliefonte, and L. J. Crans, Esq, of ibis place, made speeches, In which no little acerbity was displayed towards the Breckinridge wing of the party. One of the transparencies bad on It as a motto "No Fu Si on rith Traitors." This transparency, and one of the flags, it is reported, were late In toe. night captured by the enemy, and, it is fair to presume, will be regarded as rare tro pMes.: ' Upon the whole, the meeting was a rather spicy affair, and well calculated to keep p the "irrepressible conflict", amongst the Democracy ot Clearfield county. : ! - Tub Electoral Vote.

Allison, of Burnside, offered the following resolutions, which were discussed and adopted : Resolved, That in Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin, the nominees ot the Chica go Convention for President and Vice Presi dent, we recognize men of Liberal and Com prehensive views, having at heart the integrity and maintainance of the Uuiou and the Con stitution, tho spread of Free principles, the Protection of American Industry, and reform in the affairs of government. Regarding them in this light, we cheerfully endorse their nom ination, and ask all patriotic and well-meaning citizens to aid us in their ejection. Resolved, -That in Andrew G. Curtin, our talented nominee for Governor, we have a man well worthy of the support of every true Penn8ylvanian ; that his interest and feelings are truly devoted to this good old Common wealth, and that his election to the offico of Governor would reflect credit to the party and bo greatly to the advantage of the State. . Resolved, That the course of Hon. Chapia Hall, our Representative in Congress; and that of Isaac G. Gordon, Esq., our Represen tative in the State Legislature, deserve our hearty approval. Resolved, That Wm. McBridc, Joseph B. McEnally and S. B. Row, be and are hereby chosen as Congressional Conferees ; and Geo. W. Rheem, A. G. Hoyt and Isaac S. Shirey, as Representative Conferees, with power to appoint substitutes ; and they be requested to use all fair and honorable means to secure the nomination of the candidates of this Conven tion for Congress and Assembly. . : The President announcing that tho nomina tion of candidates would be next in order : Gen.

B. Row, Thomas G. SDyder and James B. Graham, to wait on Capt. W. W. Wise, of Brookville,and solicit him to address a meeting at 6 o'clock in front of the Jonrnal bulldiDg. Convention adjourned. At 6 o'clock, a large concourse of people having collected at the place designated, Thomas G. Snyder, Esq., introduced Capt. Wise, who delivered a masterly speech on the position of parties, showing the errors and in consistencies of the views advocated by the two wings ot the Democracy, and defining that of the Republican party. We have not room to give an abstract of the speech, but as we have heard Mr. Wise misrepresented on one point, we will state that, whilst advocating op position to the extension of slavery Into the Tem7on'ca,be at the same time opposed inter ference in any way with the institution in tho States wherein it exists. This is his position, and any other that may be attributed to him in this particular is false. - The concourse of peoplo in attendance atthe Convention was much larger than we expected to see at this season of the year and the best of feeling and harmony prevailed. All were pleased with the result, and every one weDt home with a determination to work zealously for tho nominees. The Curwensville Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr. Sykes, preceded a large delegation from that vicinity, and enlivened the proceedings greatly. The band performs admirable, and the members are gentlemanly and courteous in the conduct. THE TROUBLES IN SYRIA. The American board have nine missionary statious in Syria, nine out stations, eleven missionaries, one printer, thirteen female assistant missionaries, three native preachers,, thirty six tuachers, and other native helpers. All, or neaily all, of these missionaries were gathered at Beirut, at last accounts, having left their stations lor a place of greater safety ; and as Beirut is now the rendezvous of a large European naval force, no lears need be enter tained for their safety. The Presbyterians also have missions in that country. The last news from Damascus of the massacre of five hundred Christains is given without date, but it doubtless occurred soon after the 23d of June. Hasbciya, the place blotted out of ex istence by the bloody Druses, constituted with Sidou one half of the mission in extent and population, and also in the number of church es and church members in attendance upon in struction. The New York Observer publishes a letter from tho Rev. Wm M. Thompson, .Missionary of the American Board in Syria, and author of "The Land and the Book" from which we take the following, which explains tho heretofore almost incomprehensible condition of affairs in that country : 1st. The European governments having a dopted Turkey in the general family of nations, consummated their folly by deciding that no interference with her governmental operations was to bo allowed. Hence, the Consuls of all nations found themselves paralyzed by posi tive instructions forbidding them to do any thing to arrest this mad and infernal work. 2d. Beirut has been governed for the last few years by an old, talented, but most bigot ed Pasha, who has managed to get the Chris tains of Kesrawan, of Zahleh, and of Deir el Kamr into a state of scmirebellion against himself, and he has been plotting their de struction for a long time. By in ere asing the ill-will between all classes, and especially by stirring up the hatred of the Druses towards the Christains. he has now succeeded. 3d. The Christians having been now for so many years without any acknowledged head, found themselves utterly disorganized and unabled to resist tho wild onslaught of their enemies. Except at Zahleh, they have made no . real resistance. The whole affair was driven through with startling rapidity. All Lebanon was in a blaze in one day. The Turkish Government everywhere assisted tho Druses. . 4th. 1 regard tho success of the Druses and its accompanying atrocities, as their final and utter destructiion as a body. Never again will they rule over Christains. Remem ber that the scenes of cold-blooded butchery of unarmed men, of women, of priests, monks, and nuns, not to speak ot conflagrations of towns, villages, hamlets, churches, convents, &c, has no parallel in the history of Lebanon. I have this very year read through the entire history of Lebanon, since the Arabs have re sided on it, and it contains nothing that can compare with this tremendous tragedy. 5th. There were no European ships-of war on this coast at the outbreak, and they are just beginning to assemble, but their coming is certain, and non intervention is at an end. Tho Consuls yesterday received orders all to act in conceit to stop the war. - 6th. . It is expected that Russia and France will act separately from England, Austria and Prussia, and the downfall of the whole Turkish Empire may bo looked for. I am slow to blow the trumpet of alarm, but this grand and fearful result Is not improbable. Adventure of an Artist. The Sierra (Cal.) Citizen says that Taylor, an artist, went out to sketch the magnificent scenery, and,4whlle in the mountains, the battle broke his' poetical and artistic fancies.' Hastening down, he was confronted by a body of retreating Indians, and having turned another way, be was seen and shot at by the whites; turning another course, be was peppered by the regulars, who mistook him for a red skin. The deuce of it was to get to camp, each party firing at him on sight. Reaching a high bank, he was again shot at by the Indians, and, leaning down, he dislodged a big stone, which rolled after him, nntil the rock having blocked up a hollow place, Taylor crawled under and stayed till midnight, when he reached camp, after run ning tho further risk ofbeing shot b the con-tries. A Couple or Tocnq 'Uns, reside near the Broad Troe Tunnel on the line of theBaltimore Railroad. They are Henry Church and wife, the former having attained the remarkable age of 109 years, and his blooming wife-102. Thev have a daughter, also, Miss Nancy, who is 82, and her parents are beginning to think she is old enough to marry, but will not give their consent tor a lew years yet. Mr. Church does not claim to have seen Washington, or to have fought and died in the Revolution, which is very strange, and takes away a share of his im portance. ' An immense Douglas ratification meeting was held at.Terre Haute, Indiana, on Saturday last. Twenty thonsind persons are said to have been present. PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS. PREPARED FOR THE "RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL." Centre Count. A. high handed outrage was perpetrated in the vicinity of Rock Forge, by three young men named respectively, John Benner, William Porter and George McAlhat ton. Tho subject of this transaction was a Miss Margaret Parker, of that vicinity, who is a young girl, aged about eighteeu years, and engaged in doing house work in the family of a Mr. Glenn. It appears that while she was engaged in doing some out chores at an unusu allv late hour, she was met by a certain John Benner, who had been In the employ of Mr, Glenn as a harvest hand. . Benner addressed her in a familiar manner, and after she had turned away, for the purpose of passing into, the bouse, be seized hold of her rudely to de tain her, at which time it is said that Porter and McAlhatton made their appearance. The young woman became alarmed and endeavored to call for assistance, but was prevented from doing so by Benner, who placed his hand on her mouth. It now became evident that the object of the young men was the violation ot her person, but the noise occasioned by the scuffle attracted the observation ot several persons to the scene of tho outrage, when the perpetrators fled. ' Warrants were immediate ly issued and placed in the hands-of Sheriff McCoy, who arrested them after a weeks ab sence at Corsica, Jefiersou county, Pa., and brought them toBellefonte where they are now in jail awaiting their trial. Lancaster Co. The flouring mill of Samuel Rouck, in Lancaster township, was burned on the 2Sth inst. Abraham, a son of Mr. R., who was sloepiug in the mill, perished in the flames. Three thousand bushels of wheat, twelve hun dred of corn, seventeen barrels of flour, bags, barrels, &c, were burned. Insurance on buil ding, $4,000-on contents $3,800. The mill was set on fire by the friction of the burrs, which were running empty The Mount Joy Herald contains a brief history of a caso of "deception the main facts which are as fol lows: About three years ago a young lad giv ing his name as John Marsh, reached Mount Joy, and engaged himself to Mr. L. P. Brady to learn the tin-smithing. He was a fair skinn ed, fiueMooking fellow, but after remaining four or five months, left for Ilighspire, Dau phin county, where hehastir,ce been engaged as hostler. He was boat driving several years before going to Mount Joy. A few months ago this John Marsh, was taken ill, and in the course of natural events turned out to be a woman, giving birth to a child, much to the astonishment of those with whom he daily as sociated. Tue Drought is Texas. Accounts from Texas relative to the drought are very discour aging. The corn.13 entirely dead, and in many quarters famine is impending. The grand juries of several counties have called meetings in their respective jurisdictions tor the purpose of adoptifig some measures of relief lor the poorer classes of citizens. In Panola, Shelby, Rush and other counties whole neighborhoods are without breadstuff, or the means to buy, and meetings to relieve the general destitution are being held, and also public prayer meetings for rain. Everything is being burnt to a crisp by the scorching rays of the sun. The grass is dead, and travelling of ox teams is almost im possible, even if they had means to send abroad for it. NEW ADVEETISEMENTS. Amosc-the novelties which tho scientific world has lately heard of is the invention of an Italian a Florentine Monk, it is said who has devoted many years to the stud' of electricity and telegraphic matters. He has some extra ordinary invention which ho is submitting to the Emperor of the French. It is stated that among them is a discovery of the means of transmitting fac similes of hand-writing and manuscripts from station to station, so that a telegram may become a legal document. He can also transmit a likeness by this agency, to be reproduced at tho other end of the wire. "Proposals have been made to the man of science to come to England. Tho Southern Confederacy, a Douglas or gan at Atlanta, Ga., thus discourses touching disunion: "But if the worst does come, if Lincoln is elected, let us with one heart and mind forget the. past, and go out of the Union together. If wc permit the blacks to come into power,and allow them to govern us, they will, in four short years, inflict a moral sting upon slavery from which it will never re cover. We must not permit it." Hon. Isaac Hazlehurst, the American candi date for Governor in this State in 1857, was to address a Lincoln, Hamlin and Cnrtin meeting at Reading, on. Monday last. Still they come. James B. Clay, son of old narry of tho West, has declared against hia father's time honored and fast friend Bell, and goes in for Breckinridge, his father's sworn enemy. COUNTY Wm. McBride, Wm. M.

Brigade Insp's Office, Burnside tp., July 4, 1340 HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS. It is a fact that, at soma period, every mem ber of the human family is subject to diaeaae or disturbance of the bodily funotiona ; but, with tba aid of a good tonic and the exercise of plain com mon sense, they may be able so to rognlato the tji tema3 tb secure pormanent health. In order tu ac complish this desired objot, the true eourae to par sue is certainly that which will produce a natural state of things at the least hazard of vital strecrth and life. For this purpose, Dr. Hostetter has in troduced to th is country a preparation bearing hia name, which is not a new medicina, but one that has been tried for years, giving satisfaction to all who bare used it. The Bitters operate powerfully upon the stomach, bowels, and liver, restoring them to a healthy and vigorous action, and thus, by the simple process of strengthening nature, ena ble the system to triumph over disease. For tho cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Nausea, Flatulency, Loss of Appetite, or Bilious complainti, arising from a morbid inaction of the Stomach or Rowels, prod ucingCramps.DyBentary.Cholic .Chol era Morbus, Ac, these Sitters have no equal. Diarrhoea, dysentery or flux, so generally con tracted by new settlers, and caused principally by the change of water and diet, will be speedily reg ulated by a brief use of this preparation. Dyspep sia, a disoase which is probably more prevalent, iu all its various forms, than any other, aad tb causo of which may always be attributed to de rangements of the digestive organs, can be cured without fail by using IIOSTETIER'S STOMACH HITTERS, as per directions on tho bottle. For this discaso every physician will recommend Bia ters of some kind ; then why not use an artia'a known to be infallible? All nations have their Litters, as a preventive of disaaae-and strengthen er of the system in general; and among them all there ia not to be found a more healthy people than the Germans, from whom this preparation em anated, based upon scientific experiments which, hare tended to prove the value of tbia great pre paration in the scale of medical sciense. Fevkr aud Agus. This trying and provoking disease, which fixes its relentless grasp on the bo dy of man, reducing him to a mere shadow in a short time, and rendering him physically and men tally usolcss, can be driven from the body by tie use of HOSTETTER'S RENOWNED BITTERa. Further, none of the above-stated diseases can be contracted, even in exposed situations, if the Sit ters are used as per directions. And as they nei ther create nausea nor offend the palate, and ren der unnecessary any change of diot or interrup tion of ordinary pursuits, but promote sound sleep and healty digestion, and the eomplaint ia remo ved as speedily as ia consistent with tho prod no tion of a thorough and permanent cure. For Persons in Advanced Years, who are Buffer ing from an enfeebled consitution and infirm body. these Bitters are invaluable as a restorative of strength and vigor, and need onlv be tried to b appreciated. And to a mother while nuraicg these Bitters are indispensable, especially where the mo ther's nourishment ia inadequate to the demand! of tho child, consequently ber strength muet yieidi and here it is where a good tonic, such a HofteW ter'a Stomach Bitters, ia needed to impart tempo rary strength and vigor to tho system. Ladie should by all means try this remedy for all oa ses of debility, and, before o doing, should ai their physician, who, if he is aoqnaintod with th virtue of the Stomaoh Bitters, will reeommesl their use in all cases of weakness Caution. We caution the publio agalnit oate any of the many imitations or counterfeit!, bntart for Hosteller's Celebrated Sto'maeh Bi tiers, and t that each bottle has the words "Dr. J.
