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. : !

Before proceeding to the selection of Can
didates, Mr. John L. 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,

liams and Thompson beiDg withdrawn, Alex
ander Murray, of Girard township, was nomi

On motion, the President appointed a Com
mittee of three, consisting of S. 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.

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
