    THE JOURNAL.
CLEARFIELD, PA.,SEP TR 9, 1863.
Pr. A. M. Hills would infirm bia patrons
end nd Third weeks of September.
Votice. By divine permission, the Rev.
Thomas Van. Scoyoc, will preach in the Bp
t;s; church, on next Sabbath evening at 7 o'
c!ocK. The pubiic are respectfully invited to
attend. -
Jotm F ireir.t.the well known Furrier of 718
rcli Street, Pbilad'a, is now prepared to fur
nl,) his patrons and the public with a large
a-,d varied assortment ol Fancy Furs. His
smcK if superb, whilst his prices are really
0,r. Read his advertisement.
A Xew Firm. We have been requested to
sute that D- G. Ntvling has sold his entire
stock of goods. book accounts, etc., to Messrs.
A. I- B'lyntoo an,i Joseph Showers, who will
continue th- business at the old stand as liere
;,.(ore. Messrs. Boynton and Showers are
ciert-r ind accommodating business men, and
will nse their utmost endeavors to cater to the
wants of the public. Give them a call.
Heavy Robbery. It is with regret that we
state, that our friend George S. Uolburn, the
accommodating landlord of the Clearfield
Mouse in this place, was robbed of 505 dollars.
on Monday, August 3lst, during the throng
lit t'.it; Circus. It seems thai Mr Uolburn baa
i.ticc-il 490 dollars in a trunk in his bed-room
filiate keeping during the contusion attend
ee a ciicus ; and Mrs. C. had about la dol
lars in a trunk belonging, to her. Some cute
n.-cal, embraced Hie opportunity to enter the
I'nini, unlock ttvj trunks and rifle them of
their contents. The robbery was not discov
ered until Tuesday morning. Sev.-ral arr. sts
were made on Wednesday, but nothing was
elicited that would lead to th-. recovery of the
money, or the deffction of the thief. Mr. C.
mid family are clever, accommodating, atten
tive and hard working persons, and can little
i;!urd to sustain so heavy a pecuniary loss.
OtfR CANDIDATES.
We present a county ticket deserving the
Mipport of every loyal man in the county.
Kobekt MirciiFLL, our candidate tor Treas
ircr, now a resident of Cle.ntield Borough,
and a farmer by occupation, has been reared
,r fie county and is esteemed wherever he is
known. He h honest, worthy, and capable.
.No better man for that position could be found.
Jasjks Gi.p.ns, of Ferguson township is the
candidate for Commissioner. Those uho
ktiowhim h -st speak most highly in his praise
lie is one of those who volunteered his servi
ces :ts a soldier in the early part of the pres-
etit rebellion. lie belonged to company K.
!t Pi-nn'a Rifles, commanded by the gallant
dpt. E. A. Irvin of Curwensville waswonn-
iitd in the battle cf Drainesville, from which
lit; lost his leg and canit? near losing bis lite.
But he .Mill survives a true patriot, and ever
reidy to d j his duty. In all the qualifications
tnr the office of Commissioner, we think, he
i.- fully equal, and in most respects superior
i l is oj j.onctit. Give him a hearty support.
.V.n.N Rur-sEix, of I'etm township, has long
tt-v.ird in onr cminry. The officio for which
! pf!Tirti d has not much business nor
iiur.v i-n.olr.tnetits connected with it. Yet
f is ope that she uld be filled by a grod ac-
iMi.at.iiit who is able to detect and adjust the
rrurs in the mutters he is called on to exam-
". Mr. Russfll i.i a man admirably suited
i Auditor, and the very mati the people
;.':;i.M vice!. Let him Iinve your votes.

Dear Journal. Another week has passed
into the hook, of time, and it has not been void
ol interest to our citizens, tor considerable
excitement has been on tip toe. -'Young A
merica" reigned supreme for the fhst two
week dajs. Monday and Tuesday, as the Cir
cus wus to exhibit here on I bo latter day, and,
of coutse, the combined tiujucia! abilities of
Young America were called into action, in or
der to get the desired yellow-back. That
they accomplished it there is no doubt, for
they-wonld go to any extreme to do so.
On Wednesday the board, or a majority of
them, Ol directors of the Tyrone & Clearfield
Rail Road, met hen for the puiposeof view
ing the sites for the depot. There was a great
deal of rivalry among our citizens tor the lo
cation of the site. It seems to have always
been a decided matter, that the depot was to
be in the meadow, at the lower etirl of town,
and at the spot in the meadow, known as the
'big bant." Bat, if ever that location was
decided on by tile company, they have, for
some cause or other, thrown it up, and now
intend to make the depot furl her up the creek.
Tw sites were offered the board, gratis.' One
t'j' Mr. John D. McGiik, consisting ot sixty
live feet of ground, in depth. acrofs hlsMjuare.
on which be lives. The other was by Ctiester
Munson. Esq., on behalf of the citizens of
Goose 11 ill and Bull Run, coii.Msting ot as
much ground of! of the M. E. Chinch aud
other squares, us was necess rv. both sites
are good ons.btit the former is decidedly the i
best in all respects, for a passenger depot. It
possesses all ibe advantages possible. The
latter is very superior for a freight depot, and
it possesses all tile requisites, and advantages
in all respecs, for that purpost!, that the for
mer does uot. The board had not arrived at
a conclusion when they adjourned. I presume
we will know their decision iu a lew days.
We are in hopes that the board has adjusted
the screw, that I presumed, was loose, iu a
former letter, and tightened it iip so that the
cars will commence running regular. For a
long time, all the cause ol detention of the
cars not running here regularly as early as 1st
of June, was cast upon Mr. Edmiston ihe con
tractor, but lie has bad the road in running or
der tor a month, aud still the cars do not
come. The cause can no longer be thrown on
Mr. E., and I am inclined to think he was
blamed wrongfully : but we must have some
one to growl at. Who is it That 's the ques
tion.
After all the treasonable talk. denunciation,
preaching and speeching, by the copperheads,
about the unconstitulion ili'y of tb draft, the
resistance that it would be met with by the
people of our rtistrk't, if enforced, has all pas
sed off quietly. .Not a word, not an angry
word, and all who h i. I received their notice,
of being drifted, promptly reported them
selves, and wen-examined by the board. Some
of them pieseuied chums !.r exemption, iinil
those that the board thought worthy ol 'exemp
tion ivpn. eX'.'TTjpted, Some stfud theil'eXain
ination. p -used aud socked their "green
backs." Others went in. and donned Uncle
Sam's regalia. A iarge number ol the drafted
men from this place, and vicinity, were ex
empted, for various reasons, quite one half.
Several paid their, commutation ; and only
one, A.J. McClellan, put the harness on.
The poor, miserable wretches of copperheads
are the only ones dissjtislied. They bad gone
to so much expense and trouble to get six
shooters, and documents to keep th- hopes of
their proselytes up to the sticking point, that
they are at a loss what to get at to keep peace
iu their camp. lint they have bit on a plan
at last. They have concluded to organize a
K. G. C Saturday evening, Vhg. 2'Jth. was
the evening for organiz tion the "Loop"' the
place of holding the meeting. At the ap
pointed hour, 9 o'clock, they could be seen
coming from all directions ; looking as il they
had been committing depredations on hen
roosts, jersey lightning, or some other guilty
act. as they emerged from the alleys in the
victtiitv of the 'loop." They cotlld Hot make
the ma'.tergo off. Whether they apprehended
a bomb shell from the true Union landlord up
stairs, or because the customers, at the mo
ment, were ail loyal men is not known. The
grand sachem from tin; tiwdinps of Decatur,
and the Sju-lledriui from Slab Town went out
arid held a consultation -, came in and in a few
minutes the copperheads weie nun eit. It was
now well on towards midnight, and whether
they tuet again thai night or not, I cannot say.
But a few evenings since an unusual crowd
was noticed in the vicinity of the '-Brewery ."
On a close invest igat i u it was seen that the
whole crowd w'as composed ol copperheads,
and tb.u they had or was about to organize a
K. G. C. there is no doubt. There were mem
beis from Goose Hiil, Swamps of Decatur.Di
amond, Cpper Fresque-lslu, Army ot theFo
toinuc, and Slib T wu. The members from
the latter place, have passed the degree of
Knights ot Lager; judging from their affinity
to the brew- d decoction of bai ley. They aie
a chosen crowd. Had the world been sifted
uiuety-nii'e times through a piece of red flan
nel, they could not have got better material.
One of the leaders of the copperheads, of a
sandy phiz, is so completely swamped, because
the draft has been received so calmly. and pas
sed oft' o quietly, that be gave vent to his an
ger the other day, by wishing that the bell
bounds who committed the horrid massacre ut
Lawrence, Kansas, had not left a man alive ;
but have swept the town of every human be
ing. A citizen in the store at the time asked
biui, "How cau you make such an inhuman
wish, you inhuman scoundrel 7" He replied,
"because they were ail abolitiouiUs." This
man, nay not man, this Haynau, that made
this inhuman wish is a practicing physician,
head of a family, dependent, I presume, on
the community lor the means of acquiring his
livelihood, and who only a lew weeks ago hid
a drover wrested because be threatened to
shoot his son, and for whipping him, because,
as the drover alleged, the toy scared his
sheep. To have heard him make his plea, of
the inhuman treatment his son received at the
bands of the drover, one would have supposed
him incapable of wishing harm to anything
that lives. But there is policy in war, and it
resulted in an A.
Our neighbors across the creek bavo just re
ceived notices of their having drawn a prize.
One thing can be said for old Decatur, aho
hss turned oitt the first ru-n thM I have heard
say, "they were going to war ; did not want
rjenipi!.n." One of Di catnr's native son's
told i,i, .!..,t ..,js father bad tk'ied him $S00.
in greenbacks, to pay his commutation: but
he told him that he was cliosi n tan 'y to fight
for his country, and he was going to do so;
that he felt j,rond of the position." Ye Gods!
il the entire north was composed of such men,
in less than six.week. the American Eagle
would be perched upon the arc of the western
Hemisphere. and there screaming vociferously,
'Westward the star of Empire take its way.
I have settled my little affairs at home.

READER, REMEMBER!
If you have a father.son,bro: tit-',or friend in
the army, whom you would like to see disfran
chised, vote for Woodward. He is the ma.i
who decides the act giving soldiers a v..:e. t j
be unconstitutional. We have no doubt that
in his eyes, any man who takes tip arms again t
Gov. Seymour's "friends," is an outlaw, and
therefore he seeks to deprive them of tht
dearest right of an American freeman, that
of choosing their own rulers. He puts the
soldier ujon a footing with convicted felons,
who heretofore have been the only class of cit
izens deprived of a vote.
