Leo Brok.es. On Wednesday the 4th in
stant, John, son of James Wrigley, Esq., of
this Borough had his leg broken, under the
rloMowing circumstances : Mr. W. and the son
i-were engaged in drawing stumps on heaps lor
the purpose of burning them. Having hitched
to a large one with a long root attached ; and
.as tbe horse passed over a small run rapidly,
-4he stump rolled and threw the root ' round
with great force, which struck tbe boy on tbe
leg and fractured both bones a short distance
above the ankle. We are pleased to learn that
the boy is getting along, as well as could bo
expected.considoring tho nature of bis injuries
Important to the Ladies. Soon "Old Bo
reas" will mike ns his accustomed visitation,
and our lady friends will be devising ways and
means for tho protection of their forms from
the penetrative assaults of his chilling breath.
Now every lady will bear us out in the asser
tion that nothing is more conducive)" to tbe
comfort and fine appearance of a female in
cold weather than a substantial and fashiona
ble set of Furs. . .
This being an admitted fact, it is with pleas
ure that wejdiroct the attention of these inter
ested to the inducements offered by John
Fareira, tho favorite furrier ol 718 Arch Street
Pbilad'a. His onrd appears in this issue.
A Good Suggestion. Several days since a
lady requested us to call attention to the fact,
that our soldiers in tbe service of the country
would soon require a supply of woolen socks.
The autumn and winter weather being near at
Laud, this suggestion is worthy of attention ;
as no doubt, a supply of good woollen socks
will be the means of preventing much suffer
ing. Gov. Moore of Alabama made this tho
subject of a special proclamation ; urging
each lady in the south to knit a pair of socks
for the confederate army.' Within tho last
week we have seen notices in several of the
county papers of this Stato, calling upon the
ladies to furnish one pair of socks each, for
the use of the Union army. We know that
tho Jadies of Clearfield county will not be want
ing in this repect; neither will they be be
hind their uoighbqrs, in showing that they
hare as much regard for the comfort of our
brave men, as tbe ladies of other ; sections
have tor thos who have gone from their midst.
Then go to work at once, as the season is ap
proaching, when your littlo gifts will bo ap
preciated. All articles left at the Journal of-

"To the Ladies of Clearfield."
Mrs. Barrktt: Dkau Mada-m: -Your very
kind note of the SOtb, is at hand, and with
pleasure and gratitude 1 acknowledge its con
tent your liberal donation. My connection
w'uh the Georgetown Hospital is dissolved,
and I am abou to bt transfered to "Virginia's
shore"' at Alexaudii. There is thure, quit
n muubex of distinct buildings embraced un
der one head, pleasantly located, and but an
hours ride distance from here. 1 have looked
at our books or rat box register, and also at the
Union, Hotel Hospital, which is withio a stones
throw, and can find no names on either books
from the company named in your letter, (the
Washington Cadets:) I will, however, make
it a matter of inquiry, and contribute, if pos
sible, to them especially from tho Clearfield
Indies' donation. It gives me the highest
pleasure to contribute in tbe most humble way
to their wcliare and general good and as 1
am enlisted heart and hand for them, during
the present emergency, 1 have or shall not
lose an opportunity to give them my sympa
thy and care at all times. My position has
enabled nio to soothe, and give little comforts
to very many of them, and a high privilege I
have felt it to be. 1 have with tears witness
ed thoir gratitude when giving them a glass of
wine or sumo tempting delicacy ; fori pre
pared myself with those things, by public beg
ging, before I lea Phil'a, and have never had
reason to regret the efiort it cost. In com
pliance with your suggestion, as to further ef
forts, I would state that shoes and stockings,
with ast Kixu of substitute for a pocket hand
kerchief. I find in my experience as nurso a
in on g the things most needed, outside of del
icacies, Itwould gratify any warm heart to
have tbe comforts in hand, ready to adminis
ter to tho weary worn, wounded soldier, in his
hour of need : such as (he benevolence of tho
Clearfield ladles,' has placed in my possession.
God will bless their noble efforts for the noble
manner in which they have responded to the
cause wo arc all sympathizers in. It may be
interesting to the ladies to know, that the
Pcan'a Regiments do form but a small part of
tho kick and wounded at present under my
charge. Michigan, Wisconsin and Indianna
ufler more from exposure than all others on
'h books the change being decidedly against
th.ni. At the Georgetown Hospital, thirty or
more, were brought last night, all Indiana men,
down with Typhoid fever. Lung affections and
Dysentery are the forms of disease at present.
From the battle at Bull's run almost every
bounded soldier has been, by the free uso of
cold water applications cured, and enabled to
go homo. In the two Hospitals are about 4
men who were wounded, remaining, including
two with arms offt the the shoulder, the oth
ers are ball wrnrnds. For the first month we av
eraged out of 162 patients but 5 deaths. .Fe-'
vcr's are proving more fatal amongst tho in
'uateg. Patients are mostly delirious from tho
time they are brought in, and although well
red for, must die. 1 fear I shall weary you,
but please lot our common interest be 'suf
ficient apology, I omitted one thing which is
Very necessary and much desired "dried
r"iit" as well as old linen , such as handker
?els for wounds. May God aid you in your un
'"ng efforts to alleviate the sufferings of our
lellow creatures, U the wish of
Tours respectfully; ' ' C. W. Bradley,

UNCONDITIONAL UNION DEMOCRATIC
. MEETING. x ,. . . i . ;
Pursuant to notice previously given, a large
and enthusiastic meeting of the unconditional
union democrats of Clearfield County, con
vened at Curwensville, on Tuesday evening,
Sept. 3d, 1861. The meeting was called to
order by the appointment of Jacob- Hoover,
President, Geo. B. Dale, Ab'm Gates, Sam'l
Arnold, Henry lilies, John J. Miller and J.
Denning, vice Presidents and Wm. J. Ilenip'
hiIl,JohnMcNaul and Wm.P.Beck,Secretaries
The object'of the meeting having been stat
ed, the following named gentlemen were ap
pointed a committee to draft a preamble and
resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting, viz : Hugh W. Mullen, Jos. Den
ning, Solomon J. Gates, Wm. A. Dale, Geo.
Wilson and H. P. Thompson. The commit
tee retired a short time for consultation, and
then submitted the following report which
was unanimously adopted by tbe meeting
Whereas, It is evident to all thinking men,
that we as a nation have been precipatcd upon
evil times, and iu the language of the lament
ed Doiigla8,'whoever is not prepared to sacri
fice party organization and platforms on, the
altar of his country, does not deserve the sup
port and countenance of honest people, and
that when we shall have rescued the Govern
ment and Country from its perils, and see its
flag float in triumph over every inch of Amer
ican soil, it will then be time enough to en
quire as to who and what has brought these
troubles upon us. Y nun we shall nave a
country and a government for our children to
live iu peace and happiness, it will be time e
nough for each of us to return to our own party
banners, according to our own convictions of
right and dutv ;" and we think it is the duty
of every honest man and good citizen, without
respect to party, to give to the government bis
hearty and cordial support in every effort it may
make to crush this most wicked, eauseless,
and unholy of all rebellions against and for
the overthrow of the best government ever de
vised and instituted by man for bis protection
and enjoyment ; a government, too, that has
never laid a lingers weight upon any of its
citizens. A.nd Wiierebs, we believe that tbe
present cry of peace, peace, when there is no
prospect of peace, is only designed aud calcu
lated to divide and weaken us as a nation, and
to give aid and comfort to our enemies and we
cannot countenanco or support any man or
set of men who are continually endeavoring to
throw obstacles in the way of our government
in the prosecution of tbe war.
Therefore, Resolved, That we believe this
government to be of more value to us and our
children than any mere party organization
that its principles and their preservation are
superior to party creeds or party -dicipline,
and therefore, no man has a right to pause in
his difference with an administration before he
agrees to yield his adhesion to its policy of
- - ,,; ' ,
suppressing a rcueiiion.
, Resolved, That we regard the platform laid
down by the late representative Convention at
St. Mary's as the very essence of treason, and
that we can support no(man for the Legislature
who would permit himself to be placed upon
it ; and that we pledge ourselves to use every
honorable means to elect to seats in tbe Leg
islature, men who are unconditional Union
men, and who will uphold and strengthen .the
hands of the general government in every pos
sible manner, to the end that rebellion may be
crushed and traitors punished. -,
Resolved, That the course pursued by such
men as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster in 18
32, when South Carolina attempted her scheme
of nullification under Gen. Jackson's admin
istration, in sinking the partisan in the patri
ot, and rushing to the support and becoming
the ablest defenders of his administration in
its efforts to crush treason and rebellion, mer
its the emulation and imitation ot an true
democrats under tbe present situation of our
government ; and as this course, on their part,
was never considered evidence of political
treachery, neither do we tear that the firm and
unfaltering support we may now give to the
present administration, under precisely simi
lar circumstances, will ever be deemed by sen
sible and good men as any evidence of infidel
ity to tho Democratic party and democratic
principles on our part.
Resolved, That in view of these facts, we'
aro in favor, for (he present of eschewing all
pit ty platforms, and party crimination and re
crimination, and' uniting upon two good and
unconditional Union men as candidates to
represent us in our Stato Legislature, who will
by their voices and votes, in every possible
manner, strengthen tho arm of the general gov
ernment in its efforts to conquer a speedy and
honorable peace, and that whenever this shall
have been accomplished, tbe war should cease.
Resolved, That we can have no faith in the
patriotism of that class of men amongst us,
who would paralize the arm of the government
by hair-splitting constitutional quibbles, and
yet can find no words of condemnation for the
countless usurpations of the Southern traitors.
Resolved, That wo believe whenever surroun
ding circumstances are such as to require ex
traordinary muasiirs to be adopted, and extra
ordinary responsibilities to bo assumed by our
rulers for the preservation of this glorious
government, formed by the noblest band of
patriots that the world has ever produced, un
less they boldly step forward and assume those
responsibilities, they are not the men for their
places, and are dishonoring and betraying the
sacred trust confided to them by the American
people, and would deserve to be execrated by
all patriotic men.
Resolved, That having the most unbounded
confidence in our fellow Democrat David C.
Dale, who has for mouths past been in the
ranks of his country's defenders, we recom
mend bis name to the favorable consideration
of the Union Convention to be held at Ridgway
on the 5th Inst., as being the man for the times
and place, to represent us in our State Legis
lature ; and if nominated, we pledge ourselves
to give him our undivided support at tho com
ing October election.
Resolved, That Samuol Arnold, Henry Kern
and W. J. Hemphill be, ahd they are hereby
constituted delegates to said Convention on
tbe 6th inst. at Ridgway, and they are hereby
instructed to uso every honorable exertion to
secure the nomination of David C. Dale.
Resolved, That we disapprove of the course
pursued by the "Clearfield Republican" in not
publishing such speeches as those of Hon.
Joseph Holt of Kentucky, Hons Andrew John
son of Tennessee, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson
of New York, and oilier Union Democrats,
and in not giving a hearty and cordial support
to the government, irrespective of party.
Resolved, That. in tho position we' now as
sume, we do not wish to be understood as en
dorsing any of tbe peculiar theories or tenets
of the Republican prty, but that we are with
and for the government in every efiort it makes
to utterly crush out this outrageous rebellion,
and that whenever this shall have been accom
plished, we will return to party fealty and
fight them upon political issues.
Resolved, That the President oi mis meeting
be authorized to appoint a County. Standing
Committee, to consist of thirteen members, to
bo selected from the Douglas wing of the
Democratic party. " - ." ' '
Resolved, That the proceedings ot this meet
ing be published in both of our county papers,
and in the other papers of .this Rep. district.
On motion, Resolved, That this meeting now
adjourn to meet , at Clearfield on Wednesday
evening of the coming court, and that Daniel
Daughcrfy,',of Philadelphia,", be invited.. to
address us at that time and place. , . ; .

".. Mil. S. J. Row: Dear Sir : Enclosed I
send von a conv of n letter frrvm n. B. finod-
lander & Co., (the original I will preserve,)
1-1 a aw
ana a repiy to me same ; wnicn l desire you
to publish fn the Journal next week. By doing
so,you will oblige your lriend, R.H. Moore.
Rkpub. off. Clf'd, Aug. 26th, 1861.
R. 11. Moore : Dr. Sir : You seem to be
engaged very busily in having your neighbors
to stop our paper, as you have but little bu
siness of your own to attend to; and seeing
that you do not understand vour duties as P.
M., we will give you some instructions, so that
you may not, in making a raid upon us, also
at the same time, make one upon your imnie
diate . neighbors. Every paper you return to
our office, that has not been paid in advance
by the subscriber, is lost to him and not to
us ; as we will not remail tbe papers; nor will
we stop it until all arrearages are paid. 1 ou
will hereafter, if you wish any of our subscri
bers to stop the paper inquire if it is paid for;
if not, you can send the money yourself or
have them to do so for you, and as soon as
this is done the paper will be stopped. , It is
the duty of the P. M. to inform the publishers
of newspapeis by letter, when a subscriber
wishes to discontinue his paper; not byre-
mailing the paper, as by this method the sub
scriber loses the paper and must pay for it too
You should not invest to heavily in this
matter of persecution, as the tables may turn,
before your masters time is out, Tbe Jac
obins are not as secure in their positions as
they may think. Had you contributed as
much towards a peaceful solution of our na
tional troubles, as you and your aiders have
to destroy forever the peace and Union of our
country, you would have been engaged in do
ing something which would have inured to
wards benefitting yourself, your children and
your neighbors; whereas your whole effort
has been to entail a curse upon yourself and
your children, lor perhaps,, generations to
come; and the future Historian of our coun
try will write that, Abolitionism and the Chi
cago Platform, were tho cause of the downfall
of American Liberties. We would candidly
ask you, to read a lesson from tho French
Revolution. Read,the fate of Robespierre and
his hell-hounds and profit thereby. '
Yours, G. B. Goodlaxder & Co.
Luthersbdrg, Sept. 7th, 1861.
Ma. G. B. Goodlander : Sir: Your letter
dated 26th of August, came to hand, and until
now I had not time to reply ; although you
say I have no business of my own, we will
let that pass for what it is worth. - You offer
your services as counsellor to instruct . me as
to my duties as P. M. This is. very kind of
you indeed ; and I acknowledge that I did not
know that the P. M. was in duty bound to pay
the Editors for all the papers that came to his
office, until I received these instructions from
head quarters. ' Now, I suppose, according to
your doctrine, if your press should stop print
ing, I would be compelled to pay all arreara
ges due you. It is very necessary that Post
masters should kuow this. I was ordered to
return those papers to your office, and of
course did so. It was none of my- business
whether the arrearages were paid or not. If
papers are not lifted from the office for three
months then we, as postmasters, are required
to notify the Editors, not until then. You
however, seem to be using a little sharp prac
tice in this matter; of which you knew some
thing before you left Brady township. A word
to the wise is sufficient.
But since you have taken such a bold posi
tion, let us see how you came to palm your
niggardly sheet upon some of these people.
You sent your paper to many persons without
asking them, or they subscribing for it. They
being acquaintances, (and not having as much
impudence as you) did not suspect that you
would pursue such a mean, low, traitorous
course as yon have done ; and therefore, they
did not send back the first issue ; (as they since
wish they had,) and now. you wish to tako ad
vantage of the privilege which you have of
those who have not paid all arrearages. This
I call sharp practice it comes next door to
stealing.
Again, you warn me with a sneaking threat,
" not to invest too heavily in this matter of
" persecution, as tbe tables may turn before
my masters time is out. The Jacobins are
not as secure in their position as they may
" think." It is not difficult to infer what is
meant by tins sneaKing tlireat Knowing the
author of these words and bis actions and in
fluence in regard to tbe present Southern Re
bellion which might summons Hell to match
its rascality. But, sir, I shall preserve those
words, and if you are ever indicted and pros
ecuted for treason (for which I think you are
on a fair way) they shall bu brought up a
gainstyou. Jacobin, I believe, was a name given to the
violent revolutionist of France, in the time
of Robespierre. Please put the saddle on the
right horse. Iam no revolutionist. Jeff. Da
vis is the Mahomet of Southern Jacobinism,
and if you are not one of his immediate and
present Jacks, it is only becauso you aro too
much of a sneaking coward, but, at the same
time, you are aiding and abetting him all you
dare. You and your paper, is without either
patriotism, pricciple or shame. You call
yourself a Democrat, but you are ranked a-
mong harpies. I have read somewhere, that
never was there a measure so corrupt and
mean but what it had its friends, and you ap
pear to be one of that class. Thank God, the
great majority of the Democratic party north
is not composed of such men as you.
Again, you charge me with beine instru
mental in bringing about a curse on myself",
my children, and my netghbors. Now, sir,
every one that knows me, knows that I med
dled but little with politics, and therefore I
am uncencious of doiug any evil to myself,
my children, or neighbors, unless you call
voting for Abraham Lincoln a crime and a
curse, who 1 believe is conceded by all (snob
as you only excepted) to bo an honest man
and a patriot ; which, perhaps, is more than
may be said for you.
Again, you invite me to read a lesson from
tho French .revolution -to learn the fate of
Robespierre and bis hell-hounds. Well, .sir,
I have examined a littlo into that history, and
I find that Robespierre bad bis under jaw shot
off, so that it hung down. A message was
sent to the Convention to know if .ho should
bo brought before thenxr ".Hut, they all ex
claimed, "they would no longer suffer their
Hall to be polluted by such a monster." Now,
sir, if you by your sneaking, traitorous in
sinuations of Robespierre, Hell-bounds, and
Jacobins have reference to our present'Chief
Magistrate, his advisers, and tbe host of noble
patriots who hae gone forth (offering their
liven and their all to put down this' hellish
rebellion ; then,. in that case, have I learned
lesson from your invitation ; and. that is,
that roil, like Robespierre, ought to have
your under jaw shot off and, after that, I
think, Clearfield Town would never again be
polluted with SEcb a traitorous booby of an
editor as vou. : , , K. u. moore.

HOSTETTEK'S STOMACn
B 1 T T K K S. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of lloxtcttr's Celeirateil iftomacJt
Bitters can appeal with perfect confidence to phy
sicians and citizens generally of the United States,
because tbe article has attained a reputation here
tofore unknown. A few facts upon this point will
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blaiomng puoery. lhe consumption of
liostetter s Mouiach JJitters tor tbe last year a-
rnounted 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 propcrtiescontaincd in the pre
paration, and the sanction ot the most prominent
physicians in these 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
Hcstetter'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, lo be able to state confident
ly that tbe '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, punhes tbe 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 them
to a condition essential to the healthy discharge
of the functions of nature.. "
Elderlv persons ran v use the Bitters dailv 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
tbe benefit of using this preparation while suffer
ing from stomach derangements and general de
bility: acting under the advice of physicians.
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler ser. a here are certain pe
riods when thcircarciare so harrassinz 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 iu the. extreme anxiety forrber
infant, fchould tbe period lor maternity arrive
during the summer season, the' wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. ; Here, then, is a
necessity for a sninufaiit to recuperate the er,e re
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 invigorators that receive the en
dorsement of physicians, because it is. agreeable
to the taste as well as certain to give a p vrmanest
increase of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we nave particular
ly referred above, to wit i sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, in
digestion, loss of appetite, and all diseases or de
raneremejits of the stomach, superanuated inval
ids, persons of gede&tary occupation, and nwrsing
mothers, v?Ul' consult their own physical welfare
by giving to'Uostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit-'
ters a trial.
