Amcsi.no to see a speaker on the stand,
writhing and frothing and puffing, because

express his utter contempt and indignation of
these Black Republicans." The next time
there is a job of "Whitewashing" to be done,

e4 chat ho had "always been a Democrat."
lie should have added "especially when he was
the leader of knownotbingism in his township
in Eik county." Come Doctor, tell the whole
-story, next time.
Wasti.no Powder. The Breckinridge edi
tors, in the ir last issue, seem to think that we
have been "wasting powder" on them. Well,
perhaps, we have. Having recently adopted
the Irishman's plan of . "hit the first head you
see," may have mistaken our men; and,
instead of "hitting" large "Secession" game,
have been so unfortunate as to pop over some
of the smaller birds of that tribe.
Accident. We learn, that on Wednesday
last, James Irwin son of Joseph Irwin of Law
rence township, was severely injured whilst
engaged in making timber. Mr. I. and anoth
er person weie blocking up the stick on the
bill-side, when it became unmanageable and
rolled over Mr. I., who was on the lower side
at the time. He had his collor-bone broken,
besides receiving other severe injuries. Ue
is, however, getting better, and it is hoped be
will soon recover.
"Mr. Isaac Holsapple, of Paint tp.t has left
at our otlice a curiosity in the shape of a stalk
of Timothy 6 feet 2 inches long. We chal
lenge any connty in the State to beat it."
Somerset Herald,
If our friend will refer to the Journal of
July 31st, he will see that Jacob Hoover, of
this county, left at our office a Timothy stalk
that measnred C feet 3 inches. Friend Ed,
you will have to acknowledge the "Timothy"
this time.
The Junto. The last Clearfield Republican
speaks of the Junta that controls the Journal;
which appears to be a stereotype phrase they
have adopted to get out of a tight place, as
(hey use junta, trio, ct$', on all occasions.
Speaking of Junta's, reminds us of the ponder
ous six-shooter of the Clearfield Republican.
According to"Madaro Rumor," it is composed
of two reputed editors, three legal assistants,
iiud, perhaps, an Ex-Governor. This contin
ual cry of junta, trio, etc., sounds very mucli
like the old "stop thief" cry ; but whether it
will avail the editors of the Breckinridge organ
any thing, deponent aith not.
Fire. We are informed, that on Monday
night the 20th August, the store house of L.
W. Weld, at Fallen Timber, Cambria county,
was destroyed by fire, with all the contents
goods, books and papers-. Mr. Weld's loss
mil be heavy, as he bad over nine thousand
dollars oi unsettled accounts oh his books and
the goods aad house were worth sotne fifteen
or eighteen hundred dollars. The Are occur
red while all were away at Campraeeting, a
hou t 3 miles distant ; and it is evident from
certain circumstances, that the store was first
robbed and then set on fire, by some unknown
scouiidrels. Mr. W. had no insurance on
cither the stock or building.
Ilr.N Over. We regret to learn that our
neighbor, Joseph Birch fie Id, was severely in
jured on Monday last ; being run over by a
wagon. It appears that himself and son were
hauling boards, and as they were coruming
down a hill a short distance from town, the
"break" gave away. Mr. B. ran the wagon
on the bank on the side of the road for the
1'urpose of stopping it. The wagon was near
upsetting when he jumped but did not leach
the top of the bank, and slid down between
the wheels ; one wheel passing over him at
the hips. The wagon hid 1000 feet of boards
on at the time, and it is a wonder that Mr. B.
s not more seriously hurt. lie is getting
ltter.
Exceedingly Refreshing. The last nnm
krof that delectable sheet, the Clearfield Re
publican, alluding to the disturbance of the
celebration in Bradford township some days
ince, says, upon the authority of their "ex
tent friend Major V. B. Holt," that he left
'he stand to "preserve the peace," of the meet
in.T).Mr. Swoope having indulged in a political
Wrangue, contrary to the arrangements of the
managers, which gave ofTence. Now we are
Mured, that Mr. Swoope did not say one "word
stout politics, other than to urge it to be the
luty of every man to sustain his government
len in danger ; and further that there was no
disturbance or appearance of disturbance of
lie meeting, until the valiant Major left the

aruod him in the woods, where they loudly
Enounced the Union sentiments of the speak

WH. F. JOHNSON'S STATEMENT.
.- Pesm tp., August 24th, 1861.
Fbiesd Row : I hope you will do me the
justice to publish the' iollowing affidavit, and
certificate as well as my comments in your
uext paper.
. Clearfield ucunty as. rersonally appeared
before me a Justice of the Peace in and for
said county Thomas Dougherty, who being
sworn according to law, doth depose and say
that he was present during a conversation had
between m. t . Johnson of Penn tp., and It
B. Derrick and Wva. George on the 19th day
of August A. D. 1861, wherein it is alleged
that the said Wm. F. Johnson did severally
oner the said R. B. Derrick and Wm. George
r ive dollars, "if they would not go to the ren
dezvous after they had enlisted in the service
of their country," An affidavit to that effect
given rjy me saia uerricK ana lieorge, oeiore
the Hon. Wm. L. Moore, the 20th day of Au
gust 1861, appearing in the "Raftsman's Jour
nal" in its issue ot the 21st August lobl
Now the said Dougherty, doth declare that the
charges set forth in that affidavit are totally
untrue, the said Johnson having made no such
offer. " Tnos. Doughem-v
. Sworn and subscribed before me this 24th
day of Aug. A.D. 1801. D.S.Moore,J. P.
certificate.
"We the undersigned citizens of Penn tp.
are well acquainted with the character of Wm
F. Johnson, and verily believe, that theaccu
sation made against him byR. B. Derrick and
Wm. George in their affidavit, before the Hon
Wm. Li. Moore, at Clearfield, on the 20t inst.
to be unfounded in fact ; and untrue."
I will here state that the foregoing certifi
cate has been signed by the two Justices o
the Peace of the township, and the Father of
one of the young men, and citizens of the
township of Penn.
I therefore ask a suspension of public opin
ion in my case, in the charge made against
me by R.B. Derrick and Wm. George in their
auiuavit. I am, however, unwilling to believe
that these young men have voluntarily com
mitted this wrong against me, but that their
act was the promptings of older and more ma
licious heads. Yours, Vt si. r . Johnson.
In regard to the above affidavit we may say,
that no intelligent man can regard it as suffi
cient to contradict the affidavit of young Der
rick and George. The young men swore that
Johnson had made them such an offer on the
19th day of August, but they did not say
where it was made, nor did they say that
Dougherty or any one else was present
Now, it may be true, that in the conversation
had between tho parties in the presence ol
Dougherty, no such offer was made ; but it is
impossible for Dougcrty to say truly, that
Johnson did not make such offer to the young
men during that day, for they and Johnson
might have had a dozen conversations at which
Dougherty was not present, and which he did
not hear. When, therefore, Dougherty swears
that the charges, set forth in the affidavit of
the young men "are totally untrue," he does
a piece of wholesale swearing in regard to a
fact that is not within the range of his obser
vation or knowledge, and by such an oath,
Mr. Dougherty, instead of shaking the testi
mouy of the young men, only injures his own
credit.
In regard to the certificate, we hear that Mr
Johnson did get a number of persons, the fa
ther ot one of the young men among the rest,
to sign a paper, represented to be a certificate
to Johnsons good character. The paper was
signed by many without hesitation, for we be
lieve Mr. Johnson bears a general good char
acter as a citizen. We learn, however, that
many of the signers since they have ascer
tained that the certificate contained an asser
tion that the signers believe the affidavit of
the young men to be untrue are displeased
about it arid want their names taken off inas
much as they had no idea of certifying to any
such thing. Among the number who are dis
satisfied, we understand, is the father of one
of the young men alluded too. We cannot
suppose, that he knew when he signed the
paper, that he was giving a written certificate
of belief that his son had sworn to a lie ; or,
in other words, perjured himself. And, we
think, that but little respect would be due to
the father who would knowingly give such a
certificate to disgrace his son especially,
where the matter certified to was a mere o-
pinion and not of certain knowledge.
We have a communication, replying further
to the statement and evidence of Mr. Johnson
but we have not room for it. The best policy
for Mr. Johnson is to drop the subject ; for ho
will find the more he stirs it, the worse for him
Vallandigham. "A camp of Secessionists
has been formed near Glasgow, Kentucky,
and it is called "Camp Vallandigham," in
honor, as one of the men writes, of "the gal
lant and fearless defender of justice and lib
erty." Thus the traitors are getting rewards
and honors from the sources that might be ex
pected to reward and honor them.. Vallan
dighatn first receives this distinction, which
is probably right, as he was first. in order of
tho Northern traitors, if he was not hrst in
character and talent."
Could not the Southetn traitors call another
of their camps, "Camp Moore," in honor of the
chief Editor of the Clearfield Republican. He
is of the same stripe as Vallandigham has
never said a hard word about the rebels, whilst
he has abused "Abe Lincoln" and opposed
the Government without mercy. Why then,
should not the secessionists treat their friends
alike 1 If Vallandigham is a more noted man
than the Editor, still the thing might be man
aged let them call some big camp after Val
landigham, and some little one after the Editor.
A Pointed Rebuke. We call the attention
of the editors of the Clearfield Republican, to
the following paragraph from tho Sandy Val
ley (Kentucky) Advocate. It is very pointed
in its reference to those Northern men and
newspapers who are devoting themselves to
the Interests of the rebels. It says:
"The mostcontemptible flunkeyism of which
we have any knowledge, is found in the North
ern men and newspapers who oppose the pros
ecution of the war for the preservation of the
Union and the suppression of treason and re
bellion. We hate a traitor from any quarter
of the country, but we despise Northern men
who profess to be for the Union, and oppose
the war on Constitutional grounds. Such men
are Vallandigham of Ohio, Ben Wood of New
York, professing to be Union men, and yet its
most dangerous enemies. They are horrified
because Lincoln has violated the Constitution,
yet Southern traitois have violated the same
Constitntion, and these men can only express
sympathy for them ! From such Union men
may the Lord deliver us." I
TO THE DEMOCRATS OF CLEARFIELD
COUNTY.
We, the undersigned Democrats, believing
that the only way to gain an honorable peace
and to preserve the Union, is to utterly crush
this wicked rebellion by the military and mor
al powers of the government that it is the
duty of all good citizens, without respect to
party, in this hour of peril, to rally to the sup
port of the government against the assaults of
traitors, whether armed, or in our mldstgivmg
am and comfort, and that any half-way policy
or pretended scheme of compromise with the
rebels at this time is only calculated to en
courage rebellion, divide the Union, and dis
grace us as a nation: And believing further,
that the patriotic course of such Democrats as
Hon. Joseph Holt of Kentucky, Hon. Andrew
Johnson of Tennessee, Gen. Butler of Massa
chusetts, Gen. Dix and Daniel S. Dickinson
of New York, and the late Stephen A. Douglas
or Illinois, in giving their powerful aid to the
present Administration in suppressing treason
and rebellion, merits the approval and imita
tion of all true Democrats. We, therefore,
utterly repudiate and spit upon a great portion
of the platform laid down by the late Represen
tative Convention held in the Borough of at
Mary's, tlk county, by a few would be leaders
of our party who in their zeal to destroy the
Republican party would risk the destruction
of this glorious government, and call upon tho
Democrats of Clearfield county who would not
have fastened upon them and their party the
odium of disloyalty and treason, and who
agree in sentiment with us, to unite in taking
measures to have persons to represent us in
our Legislative assemblies who are in favor of
maintaining their government and the Union
(no matter what party or person for the time
being administers that government) at all
hazards and at every sacrifice, and who are
opposed to treating with armed rebels and
traitors on any terms.

The Economy ok Health. This busy nation
of Americans have 12,000,000 working people,
whose services may be estimated at $2 a day,
and their annual loss by sickness at an average
of ten days each in the year. This gives a
total loss of 210,000,000 asum three times as
large as tne wnole cost ot the lienerai jjrov
ernment, including the Army, Navy, Post Of
fices, Legislators Foreign Ministers and all
The amount weighs over six hundred tons in
pure gold.
A large proportion of this costly suffering
might be averted by attention to diet, clean
liness, and above all, by the proper use of the
right remedy in season. When a 25 cent box
of Ayer's Pills will avert an attack of Illness
which it would take several days to recover
from, or a dollar, bottle of Ayer's Sarsaparilla,
will expel a lurking disorder that would bring
the sufferer to his back for weeks or months,
noes it take any hgures to show the good econ
omy of the investment? When Fever and
Ague is rankling in your veins and shaking
your life out of 3ou, is it worth the dollar it
costs for his Ague Cure to have the villainous
disorder expelled, which it does surely and
quickly ? When you have taken a cold is it
prudent to wait until it has settled on the
lungs, when days orJweeks;or months must be
spent in trying to cure it, even .if it can be
cured at all, or is it cheaper to take Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral, costing a few shillings, and
remove the trouble before it is serious I It
takes no wisdom to decide.
Fiendish Acts of the Enemy. We find this
statement in the Louisville (Ky.) Democrat:
"We learn that some time last week two men
from the First District went over to Camp
Bone to look around, and, perhaps, with the
intention of joining the Confederate army.
Not liking the appearance of thing there, they
were about to leave, but were told they could
not return. They were blindfolded, and would
have been shot, but for the interference of the
colonel in command. These men, oceof them,
named Jones a man of family, were then taken
over into Graves county, and blindfolded and
shot. One died immediately, and the other
lingered thirty-six hours, and although his
wife was near him, she was not permitted to
administer to bis sufferings. He lay in the
sun, where shot, until death came to bis relief.
Can any Sepoy surpass in cruelty and inhu
manity such conduct as this? There Is the
most trustworthy authority for this statement."

Received by Tuesday Evening's MaiL
. Gaiiey Bridge, Va., Aug 29. The follow
ing are the particulars ot the skirmish near
isummerville. Col. Tyler had divided his reg-
lmeni into two scouting parties. The Colonel
had about 500 men under his command, and
on the morning of the 26th, whilst they were
at DreaRfast, were attacked on both flanks and
m front, by a rebel force of 3000 infantry
400 cavalry and 10 pieces of cannon. Our
men formed for battle and fought bravely, cut
ting their way through the enemy with great
slaughter. Our loss is fifteen killed and forty
wounaea, and a number of missing.
September, 1. Gen. Fremont has struck a
heavy blow at Secession in Missouri : He
has proclaimed martial law. In his procla
mation he says : "The object of this declara
tion is to place in the military authorities the
power to give instantaneous e fleet to existing
laws, and to supply such deficiencies as the
conditions of war demand : but it is not in
tended to suspend the ordinary tribunals of
the country, where the law will be administer
ed by the civil officers in the usual manner
and with their customary authority, while the
same can be peaceably exercised." Martia
law has been established, he says, "to protect
the persons and property of loyal citizens
All peasons who shall be proven to have de
stroyed, after the publication of this order
railroad tracks, bridges or telegraphs, shall
sutler the extreme penalty of the law. All
persons who shall be taken with arms in their
bands within these lines shall be tried by court
martial, and it round guilty will be shot.
The property, real and personal, of all persons
in the state of Missouri who shall take up arms
against tho United States, or who shall-be di
rectly proven to have taken active part with
their enemies in the field, is declared to be con
fiscated to the public use, and their slaves
if they have any, are hereby declared free.
Gen. Butler and Com. Stringham's expedi
tion to the North Carolina Forts has resulted
in a signal victory over the rebels. On the
2Sth the expidition arrived off Hatteras Inlet,
where some 300 men were landed amidst a
heavy surf. The men of war hauled in and
commenced a heavy cannonade at 10.14 a. m.
on the 28th and kept it up at intervals all day,
recommencing on the 29th at 8. 15 with in
creased effect. The enemy's reinforcements
endeavored to land, and 1,000 to 1,500 men
were driven back, and 11.30 they displayed a
flag of truce and were forced to surrender at
discretion. Our victory consists of the cap
ture of two forts, 25 cannon, 1000 stand of
arms, and 15 prisoners. The surrender was
unconditional. Among the prizes is also a
ship load of cotton prepared to run the block
ade. It is rumored that a member of the reb
el cabinet is among the prisoners. The loss
on their side cannot be ascertained. The
Federal forces did not lose a man. The liar
riet Lane got ashore, but would soon be re
lieved. The footing obtained in North Caro
Una will be permanently held and Wilming
ton will ultimately be taken possession of,
thus giving the rebels in Virginia a fire in the

TI OS TETTER'S STOMACH
IJL BITTER S. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of Ilostetters Celf-broteu Zstomarh
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United States,
because the article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
epeak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
llostetter s btomach Bitters for the last year a
mountcd to over a half-million bottles, and from
its manifest steady increase in times past, it is ev
ident that during the coming year the consump
tion will reach near one million bottles. This im
mense amount could never have been sold but for
the rare medicinal properties contained in the pre
paration, and the sanction of the most prominent
physicians in those sections of the country where
the article is best known. who not only recommend
the Bitters to their patients, but are ready at all
times to give testimonials to its efficacy in all ca
ses of stomachic derangements and the diseases re
sulting therefrom. This is not a temporary popu
larity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way
of trumpeting the qualities of the Bitters, but a
solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which
is destined to be as enduring as time itself
Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters have proved a God
send to regions where fever and ague and various
other bilious complaints have counted their vic
tims by hundreds. To bo able to state confident
ly that the 'Bitters' are a certain cure for the Dys
pepsia and like diseases, is to the proprietors a
source of unalloyed pleasure. It removes all mor
bid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood,
and imparts renewed vitality to the nervous sys
tem, giving it that tone and energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores tbciu
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.
Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per
directions on the bottle, and they will find it a
stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining
years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating
to the bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvena
ting generally. We have evidence of thousands
of aged men and women who have experienced
the benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility; acting under the advice of physicians,
thev have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. mere are certain pe
riods when theircaresare sobarrassing that many
of them sink under the trial. The relation of mo
ther and child is so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to for
get herown health in the' extreme anxiety forher
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
nocessity for a stimulant to recuperate the ener
gies of the system, and enable the mother to bear
up under her exhausting trials and responsibili
ties. Nursing mothers generally prefer the Bit
ters to all other invieorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because It is agreeable
to the taste as well as certain to give a permanent
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we nave particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
asue. caused bv malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
rangements of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing
mothers, will consult their own physical welfare
by giving to Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters a trial.
Caution. We caution the public against using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters, and see
that each bottle has the words "Dr. J. Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters" blown on the side of the bottle,
and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork,
and observe that our autoerach signature is on the
label. SPrepared and sold bjlloftetterlr Smith,
Pittsburg, Pa., and sold by all druggists, grocers,
and dealers generally throughout the United
States, Canada. South America, and Germany.
