Socks for the Soldiers. Lust week, at the
request of a lady, we called attention to the
tact, that the time was approaching when
woolen socks would be of great service to our
soldiers. Several patriotic ladies have already
responded to this suggestion. And, we know,
that many more are ready to do so. Now, is
tb time ; and as next week is court, many can
send in their gifts with out much inconve
nience to themselves. All packages left at the
Journal oSice will bo forwarded at an early
day. Wo desire th name of the doner to
accompany the gift.
Tue Aoriccltubai Fata. We have been
requested to state, that the paragraph in the
rules and regulations of the Agricultural Fair,
relating to "Premium articles under two dol

been omited; no such fee having been in con

another rnqstake has occured. ' It should read
tickets for family, to admit gent and lady,
and all- children nodes 16 years, of age, $1.
The friends of the Agricultural causa will
jiiease bear these facts in mind. . We have
made th proper corrections.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE "JOURNAL."
Camp Tekai.lt, Sept. 11, 1861.
Friend Row : Nothing of interest to your
readers has occurred in our company, since
my last, until yesterday, Tuesday. On Mon
day evening our regiment received an order
for each company to detail 50 men to start, to
Washington on Tuesday morning at 5 a. m.,
to meet Gov. Curtiu and escort him to the
head-quarters of Gen. McCall ; with the un
derstanding' that th Governor intended to
present each regiment with its new colors,
none as yet having been furnished. We star
ted at the . time named. Tbo morning was
beautiful and our march was a very pleasant
one. We arrived in frout of Willard's Hotel
at about 8 a. m.,' and about an hour afterwards
were on the march again. During our stay in
front of the Hotel, our company was occu
pied ia keeping the curiosity seekers away
from the doors. "Andy" rode out in an open
carriage drawn by 4 large bay . horses two
gentlemen occupied the front seat and he the
back one several carriages followed in the
rear. Gen. McCall's orderlies rode on each
side and in front and rear, as body guard. The
Governor's passage through Washington and
Georgetown excited a great deal of attention,
and carriage after carriage started out to see
the flag presentation. When we arrived at
the general parade ground, we found the "Re
serve corps" drawn up in line, excepting three
regiments now absent on duty. The big guns
on the fort fired a salute, and Campbell's bat
tery another. The flags were brought on the
ground, and presented in person by Andy, to
the Colonel of each Regiment. Andy then
made a speech, which nobody beard except
the crowd of citizens who had ome out from
Washington after which the army passed in
review before his excellency and then again
formed in battle array. Andy now left, as
well as the curiosity hunters. Andy and all
the Colonels took dinner with Gen. McCall.
Our regiment was glad to get home. Having
had an early breakfast, our walk of 14 miles
had sharpened our appetites for dinner.
The scene on the field was quite an interes
ting one. There being any amount of carria
ges filled with ladies and gents the rapid
flight of the Aids, going to and fro with or
ders the orderlies riding every which way ;
whose forte, as "Artemus" says, being to dem
onstrate how much yellow braid can bo put
on one uniform and in rh'.'tng unmanageable
horses, and the gay uniform of the command
ing officers, presented a scence truly exciting.
It is said "Abraham" was on the ground if
so, I did not see him he must have taken a
back seat. I saw James K. Kerr and a good
many other Pennsylvanians. Yours, M. '
DEEDS AND MISDEEDS OF DEMOCRACY .
The resolutions passed by the Philadelphia,
Democratic County Convention are refreshing
ly cool, in summer-time. They exultingly
declare that a great deal was doue for the peo
ple under a Democratic President, Jefferson ;
that the last war with England was fought un
der another Democratic President, Madison r
that nnlification was defeated by another Dem
ocratic President, Jackson ; that the Mexican
war was won under another Democratic Presi
dent, Polk. Here the miuutes stop abruptly,
but wo will help the Convention along.
The bombardment of Greytown occured un
der a Democratic President, Pierce. So did
tbo Ostend Conference, with its piratical enun
ciations. So did a number of the . Filibuster
ing expeditions, which were the advance move
ments of Secessionists. So did the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise law, which undid the
work performed by old time Democrats for
the preservation of peace and Union. So did
a number of other deplorable and disgraceful
events, which ought to be reported in any
summary of the historic incidents that have
occured under Democratic Presidents.
The Convention also forgot to state that a
constitution agreed upon by the people !of
Kansas was forbidden by a Democratic Presi
dent, Buchanan. They forgot to state that a
Democratic President tried to force on them a
constitution they had repudiated. They for
got to state that under this last and culmina
ting one of the Democratic Presidents, the
United States Treasury was robbed of millions
of dollars, and the United States armories
were robbed of hundreds of thousands of stands
of arms. They forgot to add that he counte
nanced conspirators and traitors in hisCabinet,
in his house and at his table. They forgot to
add that the first Secession movements took
place under this Democratic President, and he
took no steps to prevent rhem ; but, like eith
er a craven or a traitor himself, basely said he
could not prevent them, thus giving the rebels
every advantage that they-desired. They fot
got to state that the American flag was first
fired on by rebels, under the Democratic Pres
ident, Buchanan, who has repeatedly been fa
vored with the commendation of this Demo
cratic County Convention ol Philadelphia.
They forgot to add that the whole work of
Disunion, the seizure of all the fortu, arsenals
and other Government establishments in the
rebel States, the organization of the rebel
Confederacy, and the other acts that tended to
the overthrow of the Uuion and the disasters
and calamities that we are still suffering from,
were accomplished, unresisted, under - this
Democratic President, Buchanan.
The Convention, in a word, neglected to
state that all the troubles from which the coun
try is now suffering, are the natural result of
the aims and operations of two successive
Democratic administrations those of Pierce
and Buchanan, who were the last, and conse
quently, we presume, the ripest and truest rep
resentatives of Democracy. We are not dis
posed to: make a factious opposition to the
Democratic nominees. But we wish all at
tempts to keep up these party organizations
would cease, during the present national cri
sis, when people want to vote simply for sup
porters of the Government against treason and
rebellion. The Democratic- Convention has
foolishly tried to recommend its work by re
ferring to some of the deeds of the Democra
cy. We have thought it proper to complete
the record and refer to some of its misdeeds.

This fight occurred below Harper's Ferry,

Home Guards, which terminated in the victory
of the latter. The Home Guards held their

strong, who were driven back with a loss of 12
killed and 30 wounded. The Home Guards
lost only one man killed and four wounded.
Among the killed of the rebels were Col.
Brown and Capt. Brown.
Advices from Northwest Missouri say that
since the withdrawal of the Federal occupants
from St. Josephs, that region is arming again.
Some two thousand rebels are concentrated
in Andrew countv, under Major Potter. A
bout the same number of Unionists, composed
of Missourians and Iowains, under Cols. Crane
and Edwards, bad started for the same region,
and both sides were preparing for battle," so
that a conflict may shortly be expected.

with Col. Green's force at Glasgow, Missouri,
lasting about half an hour, when a battery of
three guns opened on the boat and she retired
without loss.
It is reported, that several days since a par
ty of Mary landers crossed the river below the
Point of Rocks,. aud defeated a body of rebels
that had concentrated there.
. The Spauish Minister denies. the report that
tho Captain General of Cuba has issued a
proclamation recognizing the Confederate flag.
Colonel Biddle of tho Pennsylvania first
rifle regiment has declined the commission ol
Brigadier General.
It is reported tbat Johnson (rebel) has
been greatly reinforced along tho Potomac.
All the Secession papers published in Balti

All remains quiet on the other side of tho
Potomac.
TROUBLES OF THE DEMOCRACY.
The following speech was delivered at a
"fighting convention" of the Democratic par
ty in Westchester county N. Y., by Geo. A.
Braudreth.
I endorse the sentiments which the Hon.
Daniel S. Dickenson has lately expressed.
I believe those patriotic sentiments should be
the guiding principles of every patriotic Dem
ocrat. If you elect me as a delegate to the
Syracuse Convention I shall vole tor him for
Secretary ' of State. I am opposed to Peter
dagger and Dean Richmond, and, in fact, all
Ben Wood Democrats, balieVing they are
nothing but secessionists in disguise and we can
never succeed in putting down this rebellion
unless we first subdue secessionists at borne.
They are leuding aid und comfort to the ene
my, and encourageing them by their talk ot
liberal offers of peace. No peace can be
made with the seceded states without ack
nowledging their independence. Do that
and wo surely lose Kentucky, Maryland, and
Missouri, and bur Union dissolves like a rope
of sand. I therefore believe in making no
offers of peace, but I do believe in a vigorous
prosecution of the war, until the rebellious
states, like bad children, are whipped into o
bedience. I think that the late ofl'er of the
Republicans to join with the Democrats, and
sink party issues for our common welfare,
magnanimous and wise; and if our Central
Committee had not the power to accept it they
should have called tbeir convention to assem
ble the same day as the Republicans, and then
the people by their representatives could
have settled the matter.
The secession democrats broke up our na
tional convention, deleated Douglas, and e
lected Lincoln, and now tbey say that his e
lection is the cause of the present war. I Bay
that the secession Democrats ojaused the war
and all our present troubles, and they should
be punished and subdued. Until this is done
we shall have no government, and aotbing a
bout which political parties can have cause to
fight. The only issua now is, for or against
the war, and the support of the administration.
I am for the war and sustaining the adminis
tration until we are victorious, or so badly
beaten aa to be forced to beg on our knees for
peace. I will then tight for the Democracy, but
until then we should all fight for our country.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BIT T E R S. The proprietors and
Manufacturers of Hostetter't Celebrated Stomach
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
speak more powerfully than volumes of bare asser
tion or blazoning puffery. The consumption of
Hostetter's Stomach Hitters for tho 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 oue million bottles. This im
mense amount could never hare beeu sold but for
the rare medicinal properticscontaincd 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 reoommend
the Litters 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 bo as enduring as time itself
Hostetter'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 be 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 acd energy indispensable
for the restoration of health. It operates upon
the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs,
mildly but powerfully, and soon restores tbem
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,
they have abandoned all deleterious drugs and
fairly tested the merits of this article. A few
words to the gentler sex. There are certain pe
riods when theircaresare so harrassing 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 her own health in the extreme anxiety for her
infant. Should the period for maternity arrive
during the summer season, the wear of body and
mind is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a
necessity 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 otber mvigorators tnat receive tue 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 have particular
ly referred above, to wit : sufferers from fever and
ague, caused by 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 CelebriitcdStoinach Bit
ters a trial. - ,
Caution. We caution tho.publio againBt using
any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask
for Hosteller'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 8 tamped on the metallic capcovering the cork,
and observe tba tour autograph signature is on the
label. l5?Prepared and sold by Ilostetter Cf Smith,
