CLEARFIELD, PA., JULY 27, 1864.
Friends of the Soldiers ! Remember,
that next Tuesday, August 2d, is the day of
election. .
Found several small keys, on d ring, on
Tuesday morning. The owner can have tue
same by calling at the Jonnm -office.
Godey for August has bTcn . received.
The fashions are fine, the. engravings good,
n,l tl Htrarv contents interesting.

Correction. -The i .lace of holding the
elections in Rradbrd township is at Jacob
I'eareo's, instead of W m. Hoover's as here
tofoie printed.
New Goods. The citizens ot Clearfield,
und the public generally, are informed that
Messrs. iJoynton, Showers & Graham have
just received a new supply of Pry-Goods,
Notions, Groceries, etc. Give them a call.
Cu.v.vfiE l Stamp Ditties. Business
men will not forget, that a change has been
made in the excise law, and that'from and
after August 1st, the stamp schedule, here
tofore published by us will not answer. We
will publish the new schedule in our next.
Rally ! Friends of the Soldiers !
Rally to the polls on Tuesday next, and
k1kw uur brave defenders that 3ou are not
ungrateful for the great sacrifice they are
making.
Rain and the Crops. A copious and
rciYe.-diing rain prevailed in this section du
ring Monday last, which has revived the
drooping and parched vegetation. The
corn lias not suffered very materially from
the drought, and with continued propitious
weather will yield a good crop. Buckwheat
and potatoes will also be good, should the
reason be favorable.
The Scientific American savs that Peru
vian bark is the onlv antidote to the m.-il.-irl.i
which prevails on the James river in August
September and October, and recommends
that even' person who has a friend in the
army send him a dollar s worth of quinine.
with instructions to put as much as will lie
on the point of a pen-knife in his coffee ev
ery morning, and the probability is that he
will escape chronic diarrhea, fever and ague
ana auiious lever.
New Firm. We would state for the infor
mation ot the public, that Messrs, Boynton
& Showers have associated with them Ed.
Urnham. and that-hereafter the business
will be conducted in the name of Boynton,
cu . i'. rt i ,i ia i
cmrwurs a uranam. .iur. uranam is a
young man with some experience in mor
chandizing, of a pleasing disposition, and of
stru t business habits, and will be ouite an
addition to the already very accommodating
unu oouging nrm. w e wish them success
m their new association.
Tiokets for the Amendment.
We would say to our friends throughout
the county, that we have sent a supply of
tickets to the several election districts, by
letter, within a few days past ; which, we
hope, will be duly received. To make sure
of sufficient tickets being on hand, on elec
tion day, wo took the precaution to send
some to from three to five prominent and
active men in each district ; who, it is pre
sumed, will be at the polls early, on Tues
day morning. Friends ! be active : and
poll your full vote, if possible the soldiers
expect this much from j-ou.
A 1 icnic. The picnic gotten up under
iuu au-piees oi Jiiss IVate fc heller s school,
iuu wnicu came on on k5aiurua' atternoon
last, we understand was an entire success.
At the appointed hour, the children of the
school, and a number ot voung persons,
wended their way to liberty Spring,"
where a table had been erected for the re-
cttption and spreading out of the rnoil
, . . r3
tunics, preriareu ior the occasion, jlu a
bundance of everything that would take the
fancy of the children, as well as some substantial.-?,
were on hand ; which the young
sters seemed to enjoy very much. " After
partaking of the sumptuous repast, the re
mainder of the day was spent in the various
-x nu amusements, ana in the evening the
whole party returned to town much delight
h1 with their trip to the grove. Miss Shel

"i winch the whole affair was conducted.

PjliMPSHL'RO, Pa., July 25th, 1864.
Dkar Journal : Scarcely had the ex
citement ot the late rebel raid passed, and
our town restored to its statua-pio, when all
i a sudden, everybody was on their forked
fiiJ. runuing to and fro, as if the rebels
surely were about to demand the surrender
't the town, or levy a contribution, and
mereuy let us escape a regular plundering
-'ration. All this came from the arrival
i the Deputy Provost Marshal, with tick-
ior lorty-two ot our subject-to-draft pop
"ation, to attend the ereat military ball
going 0 L,wn J n " " jjie t;cfc.
ts came very unexpected, and took us all
u' surprise the Deputy was a complete
urj.rie party of one. The question pro
loundcd was, who is drafted? All who
subject to military duty, were anxious
'o know if they had received an invitation,

excited rhiz, to a point, tar below that
vor created by a Tall in gold, to a "bear"
f all street. But, if the reply was that
Je had not, his excited features gave way to
ie nH)t bright and jovful countenance, ev

They report at Rcllefontc Aug. 3d.
During the week there was a convention
held here, that had. for its object .something
in relation to the Sunday Schools. There
were preachers, of the Methodist denomin
ation, in attendance from different parts of
the State. But as I am not prepared to
give any of the proceedings of the conven
tion, at this time, I shall defer any details
until my next God sparing me, and I am
lucky enough to find who the secretaries
were.
The woods, up along the Moshannon
creek, in the vicinity of Dunbar, and from
that place across to the lyrone Jfike,
have been on fire for several days, doing
great damage to the pine timber, and prop
erty generally. The Steam saw mill at Dun
bar, came very near being a prey to the
fiery element, and was only saved by knock
ing off a great portion of the roof. The
rascal who would set lire to the woods at
this dry season, should have a dose of tar
and dry spruce twigs, and then a match ap
plied to them.
J learn that Jos C Brenner's new steam
saw mill, down at Morrisdale was entirely
burnt up on "Wednesday night last. The
mill had been in operation but a few weeks.
The hands "shutdown" about 12 o'clock
on Wednesday night, as usual, retired to
rest, and in the morning they found the
mill a heap of ashes. No one can tell how
the fire originated, and the whole concern
was consumed without any of them hearing
or knowing of its burning.
The wife of one of the miners of Powel
ton, or Coal Hill as it is commonly called,
concluded that her stay on terra cola had
been long enough, took a dose of l(id-bug
poison on Friday last, and made her exit for
that undiscovered country from whence none
return. She insisted upon having her chil
dren accompany her, and spread a piece of
bread for each of them, with the poison and
gave it to them to eat, when a woman liv
ing with the family, told them to throw the
bread away, that if they eat it with that
"stuff" on, it would kill them. They wise
ly concluded that if their maternal parent and
bed-bugs desired to bring their career to a
speedy termination, tliev did not, aim tooK
the woman's advice. The mother died the
same day, and had it not been for the time
lv presence of the hired woman, all of her
children would have fell victims to the poi
son. I understand the mother done the
deed intentionally, and that it was not by
accident that the bed-bug poison was used
as is oltcn the case.
I received a letter from a soldier, who head;
his letter "Rifle pits, front of Petersburg
Va." a few days ago, and he asks mc the
question.
Are you voters at
home goin
to give the
defenders of vour countrw the
rieht of suffrage while in the armv ? I hope
th (HI I Vvtnnf trill rrll nr. ;i lnrn-or nn
did though she done well, we expect you
to do better.
Next Tuesday, August 2d, is the day o
the election. Let no man who is a true A
merican and a friend of the soldier, stay
trom the polls. Uut go. and go early, de
posit 3'our ticket r or the Amendment.
Do not be humbugged or led to vote again
the amendment, by any sympathizer with
treason, that the amendment will, it carried
allow all soldiers the right to vote, and that
by that means the colored soldier is on e
quality with the white, liemembcr the a
mendment does not mention the word sol
dicr, as these hounds would have vou be
licve. It says ' ' The qualified electors. ' To
be a analtfied elector or voter, a soldier must.
be a White Freeman of the. full aoe of twen
ty-one years. Read the amendment careful
ly, and you will soon see that all such areru
ment as that advanced by the snaiks is with
out foundation. 1 hey do not wish the sol
dier to have a vote, and they take any means
to dodge it. lhat the colored soldier can
vote i one of their dodges. One thing is
certain, it it was the case, they are more
worthy of a vote than any cop. Leroi.
Letter from Sherman's Army.
CiLvrr.uioocHE River, July 13, 1SG4.
Dear Journal : General Sherman's ar
my reached the northern hank of the Chat-
tahooche river, on the 10th instant the
rear guard of Joe Johnston's arniy having
ciosseu on mat uay. J. ne Lnion soldiers
picket one side of the river, while the "rebs"
picket me oiner. anis nas oecn a long ana
weary campaign. The 111th Pa. Vols,
marched from Bridgeport, Ala., on Mav
3d, with 570 officers and men, all told : anil
lost in killed and wounded, 13fJ. Among
the wounded are Luke Millward of Janes-
ville, and Ishmael M'Mullen of Utahville,
Clearheld county.
lhe campaign in Georgia is a severe blow
to the rebel cause. Rebel refugees from
other States, together with many disloval
citizens of this State, are driven into a still
smaller compass. A larare amount of corn
and other grain has been found which was
intended for the rebel army, but in their
hasty retreat were unablo to take it along or
destroy it. lhe growing crops of corn,
wheat and rye are Used as forage. The
whole country through which the army has
passed, is almost depopulated, as well as
devastated. The ravages of the demon war
are visible everywhere.
hen the rebels were whipped at one
Place, tney retreated to another. JLhe3had
breastworks to fall back to, which were
built by slaves I suppose that is one of
the blessings, ot alavern that We hear north
ern traitors boast of, ) 'they need only cccu-
py them and are ready to hsht us. n e do
not build our works half as ood as the reb
els do, from the fact we don't need them
t some places the rebels had two lines of
abattis in front of their outer works, lhis
has been a disastrous, campaign to John
ston's army ; scores of deserters arrive with
in our lines daih ; they are anxious to get
to the rear, away from the explosions of hos
tile shell. I think from present indications
the armv will remain here a short time.
ihe weather is very hot. With the aid of
a glass 1 had a View of Atlanta from a tree
top. the distance is about eisrht miles.
The draft in Clearfield, I understand, has
taken place. It is strange indeed how in
firm some persons' become, as the time of
drawing approaches, who at almost any
other time are in the enjoyment of the best
Intelligence has been received
siding m Beccana tp..
from Utahville, who re-
the contents of which
by a simple turn of the
wheel, he became a soldier in the II. S.
rmy. He is supposed to have given vent
his feelings m about the following words :
have earned an honest living by making
shingles, etc. , which is the hardest kind of
manual labor. Politically, by the assistance
of my copperhead friends, I have endeavor
ed to discourage enlistments, raised the cry
of 'nigger war,' and have done all I can to
makej the life of a soldier odious. My
heart's desire is that the cause of our South
ern brethren succeed, the traffic in human
flesh and blood be continued, and slavery
with all its horrors be made the corner-stone
of the nation. To join the army and shoot
my greyback friends I cannot ; I am brave
enough to let them shoot at my body, but I
have no confidence in my legs, for should
niinnie balls and shell begin to drop around
me, I fear they will run away with uiy car
cass ; however, I will report ; perchance I
may be exempt." Our hero suddenly be
comes lame, halt, deaf, gets the gout, and
perhaps the iteh ; in fact, all the ills that
human flesh Is heir to, and sets out on his
journey to Brookville. After limping a
bout for a few days, and practicing before a
mirror on contortions of his visace as if
caused by intense pain, he limps into the
Marshall's Office, writhing in all the agony
of assumed pains imaginable. After a brief
examination the surgeon contemptuously
gives him a certificate of exemption ; seem
ing to say, "take that 3011 cowardly puke,
you would di sgrace the army." Mr. Ar.
makes his exit the fluttering under his
vest ceases he returns to the hills of Bec
caria perfectly recovered and able to resume
his peaceful vocation.
I see by the Journal that there will be a
special election on the first Tuesday of Au
gust next, to vote on the amendments to
the Constitution, allowing the soldiers to
vote in the field when in actual service.
I am unable to discover how, a man loses
his citizenship when he joins the Federal ar
iny, either voluntarily or by draft, when he
pays his taxes in the districts in which he
resides and I believe the soldiers pay their
taxes more cheerfully than many of those
who never go to the army. I am certain
that nothing but a black-hearted traitor,Ul
vote against the amendments.
