.7. B. M'ENALLY,
Chairman of County Committee,
: THE WAS NEWS.
Terr little of importance has transpired
in our armies during the last week. True,
a report is in circulation that Mobile is in
our possession, but this needs oonSrraation.
Before Peter-burg an advanced position was
taken by several regiments, whijh they hold
having surprised the rebels. Sherman
apjears to be resting his army. Good news
may, however, soon 1 expected.
Ilnpa. N. L. Robins left at our office,
U-t week," a branch of hops about 9 inches
hnz, on which are CO full grown hops.
Hard to teat, that.
Left another ot our hands for the army,
on Sunday last, without giving us ary inti
mation of his intention. This makes the
sixth one that has gone to the war, out of
our office. .
Filling their Qcotas. We learn that
Bnrnsideaud Guelich townships have about
fi lid their quotas. It would be well if the
rust of the townships would follow their no-
Vlc example.
Seeps Attention. The wet weather
d'nuoiistrate.s the necessity of anuie attention
to the drainage of our streets. We com
mend the subject to the consideration of the
Burgess and Council.
RercuNED. The distinguished ''Cops'
large and small who were at Chicago,
got homo again last week. Tuey look a lit
tl "down in the mouth" about something
we don't know exactly what. Things ev
idently didn't gooff to please theiu.
Several days since, we had the pleasure of
taking by the hand, James II. Galer, the
nmunmodating landlord of the "Conrad
iln.a" in I'hilip'b-.ir?. Persons stopping
in that place should give "Jim" a call as he
hi. tli3 reputation of kaepina goal home.
GitArF.s. We tender our thanks to Nor
tnn L. Bobins. of this place, for a large
tli.-h f Concord Grape the nnest we have
wen thit season. Persons desirous of hav
n? a delicious grape should procure the
Concord, of which several vines can be had
st Mr. llobins'.
CVg sessional Conference. We
have been requested tn state that the Con
"rccs. appointed to nominate a candidate
l"r Congress in the 10th district, will meet
at Kidgwayon Wednesday, September 21st.
Our friends thr vjgbout the district will

tre of riding over the mountain, last week,
With Mr. Tipton, the conductor on the Ty

TlArL. Quite a heavj .hail storm prevail
ed in this teetion on Saturday uiht
Improvements. Our town h;-.s bben im-
proving rapidly this summer. Quite a uam-
ber of new buildings are in progress of erec
tion. Oir friend Mossop is just finishing a
' new Store-room the largest in the county.
jAcross the way, a large and eoiuuiodious
Photograph Gallery is jijLst being completed.
A new tower and spire has been added to
the Catholic Church, which greatlv improves,
its appearance. The signs of prosperity are
risible oh every side. Clearfield ha3 no
cause to complain of "hard times."
The "Franklin Repository." We are
gratfied to see t at Messers.Stoner and Mc
Clure, have once more resumed the publica
tion ot this noble defender of the Union
cause. The Repository establishment it will
be remembered, was destroyed, in the burn
ing of Chambersburg, by the rebels. The
Repository has heretofore been a warm sup
porter of the present National and State Ad
ministration, and the .strong and persistent
advrcate of every measure calculated to
crush out the present wicked rebellion, and,
the number before us gives promise that it
has lost none of its devotion to the great in
terests of the Union, by being destroyed by
rebel vandal. May success and prosperity
attend the editors of the Repository in its
future publication, and while they continue
to expose th ru ichln iivn of rebal and
rebel sympathisers to destroy our glorious
old Union.
A Candid Confession.
The following paragraph, taken from the
Ohio Crisis, Sam Medary's paper, publish
ed a few days before the nomination of Mc
Ciei'au at Chicago, would indicate that the
great war-horse of the Ohio Democracy can
hardly be induced to rally heartily to the
support of little Mac :
"It is well known that General MeClelian
lias not one spark of pretensions to the Pres
idency, except what he had made out of this
war, under Mr. Lincoln. He never held a
civil ofiieein his Hie, and was unknown to the
public when Governor Dennison brought
hi ui forward us a military man Yet, in
three years as a mere soldier, he rises to the
demands of the Presidency, to head a party
which is for pence a. position requiring a
statesman of enlarged views and a states
man's experience. If we are to plunge into
interminable wars, each section or portion
following its military leader, as in Mexico or
outh America; then .MeClelian might be
proposed with some more show of consis
tency ; but, as it is, it would be the utter
annihilation of all constitutional politics
and wiping out of Democratic organization.
And for what? That a few men who have
got his ear may get foreien missions and
home position at the expense of the peace ot
the country, and the lives of their constitu
ents. This is paying too dear ior such whist
les, and for one we protest against it in be
half of oar bleeding, ruined, and distracted
country. If peace will not preserve order
and preserve civil society, war will not, and
we are a lost people, anyhow."
MoClellan on Arbitrary Arrests.
It will be remembered that the Maryland
Legislature was arrested in September, 1861,
by order o: General McClellan, because
ere litable evidence existed that it was about
to pass an ordinance of secession and carry
the State out of the Union. The arrest of
the members prevented this revolutionary
step, and doubtless prevented Maryland
from becoming the theatre of civil war at
the outset ot tli2 Ribellion. The order of
General McClellan was fully justified by
the exigencies of the occasion ; and yet the
arrest of the. Maryland Legislature consti
tute the most wholesale and "arbitrary" of
all arrests authorize I up to the. present time
by the Administration or any of its agents.
The order is as follows :
Confidential
1 1 e a dq rA rte rs Army ok the Potomac )
Washington, Sep . 12, 1861. j
Mayor General X. I1. Banks, IT. S. Army:
. General: After full consultation with
the President, Secretaries of State, ar
&c, it has been decided to effect the opera
tion proposed for the 17th. Arrangements
have been made to have a Government
steamer at Annapolis to receive the prison
crs and carry them to their 'destination.
Some four or five of the chief men in the
affair are to be arrested to-day When they
meet on the 17th you will fdease have every
thing prepared to arrest the whole parly,
and lie sure that none escape.
It is understood that you arrange with
General Dix and Governor Seward the mo
dus operandi It has leen intimated to
me that the meeting might take place on
the 14th ; please be prepared. I would be
glad to have you advise uie frequently of
yoai arrangements in regard to this very
important matter.
If it is successfully carried out it, will go
far towards breaking the backbone of the
Rebellion. It will pro? ably be well to have
a special train quietly prepared to take the
prisoners to Annapolis.
I leave this exceedingly important affair
to your tact and discretion and have but
one thing to impress upon you the abso
lute necessity, secrecy and success. With
the highest regard I am, my dear General,
your sincere friend, Geo. B. McClellan,
Major General, U. S. A.
So much for General McClellan's re
cord on that great bugbear of the Democra
cy, "arbitrary arrssts." If it was right and
necessary for him to order such a wholesale
arrest as that of the Maryland Legislature,
how comes it that it wa wrong for the Ad
ministration to arrest individuals who were
guilty of the same crime treason to the
Government. ;

Poor Eichard's Season for Buying; United
States Securities.
The other day we heard a rich neighbor
fay he had rather have Railroad stocks than
I the U. S. stocks, for they paid higher inte
rests. Just then Poor Richard came up,
and f-aid that he had just bought some of
Uncle Sam's three years note, paying sev
en and three-tenths per cent, interest. My
rich friend exclaimed,, 4Yoa! I thought
yoa had no money to buy with." "Yes,"
said Richard, "I had a little laid up for you
know it is well to have something laid up
against a wet day, and I havs kept a little
of my earnings by me." Now Poor Rich
ard is known to all the country round to be
a very prudent and industrious, and withal,
wise man; for Richard never learned any
thing he didn't know how to make use of,
and his wisdom and prudence had become
a proverb. S when he took out his sav
ings and bought the notes, more than one
was surprised, and it was no wonder rich
Mr. Smith asked why. So Poor Richard,
in a very quiet, humble way for he never
assumed anything replied, "I suppose,
Mr. Smith, you know a great deal better
than I do what to do with money and how
to invest it; for I never had much, and
what I got I had to work hard for. But I
have looked round a good deal upon my
neighbors, an 1 seen what they did with
their money, and I will tell you some things
I saw and what I thought of it. One very
rich man was always dealing in money, and
he made a great deal, but he was never sat
isfied without high interest. So be lent all
of his money to some pe ple who he thought
wjre very rich, at a very high rate ; r nd he
often told how much he got, till one day the
people he lent to went to Miiash. He got
back about teu cents on a dollar of his mon
ey. I know another old gentleman who had
some bank stock, and he went to the lank
to get ton per cent, dividend. The Presi
dent and everybody said it was the best
stock in the country paid ten per cent.
But what did the old man do but sell his
stock the next day ! Why? why? said ev
erybody. Because, it pays too much divi
dend. And in ix months the bank went
to smash. Now. that I know to be a fact.
Well, Mr. Smith . you say Railroad stocks
are best, because they pay high dividends ?
Can you tell how long they will pay them ?
I like Railroads. I helped to build one,
and I go in for useful things. But I teli
you what I know about them. One-third
of the Railroads don't pay any dividend,
and two thirds (and some of thnn cracked
up, too,) do not pay as much as Govern
ment fctocks. Now that brings me to the
Government securities, and I will tell you
why I prefer them. I take it 3'ou will ad
mit, Mr. Smith, that in the lone run of in
vestment which is best tdiould have these
qualities : First, it should be perfectly se
cure; secondly, that the income should be
uniform and jtrrmanent not up one year
and down the next; thirdly, that it should
be marketable, so when your wet day conies,
and you want your money, you can get it
back. And I think these notes or bonds
have got these qualities more than any oth
er personal property you can came. Try
it. -
"First, then, I have been looking into
that great book you call the Census Statis
tics. I used to think it wasn't worth much,
but since I began to study it. I tell you, I
have found out a great many things very
useful for me to know. I found, by looking
at the crps, the factories, and the shipping,
&c., that we (I don't mean the Rebel States)
are making a thousand millions of dollars a
year more than we spend. So you see that
(since the increase of debt isn't half that)
we are growing rich instead of poorer, as
John Bull and the croakers would have ns
think. Then the debt will be paid, an3-how,
no matter how long the war is. Besides,
did you ever hear of a Government that
broke before the people did? Look into
your big histories, Mr. Smith, and you will
find the people break before the Govern
ments. Well, then, I call that stock per
fectly secure.
"Secondly, you want the income uniform
and permanent. Wtdl, I want you to take
up a list of banks, railroads, mines, insu
rance companies anything j-u choose
and tell me (honor bright now!) how many j
have paid a uniform income for ten or twen- J
ty years. Not one in a hundred, Mr. Smith,
and you know it.
"Now here is the Government will pay J
y?u without varying a tittle. Now I like
something that gives me my income every
year.
"Thirdly, you want something that is
marketable any day in the year. Now, if
you ak any bank President, he will tell you
that Government stocks are the only kind
of property tluit is always saleable, because
they will sell anywhere in the world
'Now, Mr. Smith, this is why I put my
little savings in Government stocks. I con
fess, too, that I wanted to help that dear
old country, which is my home and my
country."
"I confess" said Mr. Smith, "I hadn't
thought of all this. There is a good deal of
sense in what yoa say, and I will go so far
as to put two or three thousand dollars in
United States Blocks. It can do no harm."
We left Mr. Smith going towards the
bank, and Poor Richard returning home,
with that calm and placid air which indica
ted the serenity of his disposition and the
consciousness of doing right towards hie
country and his fellow man,
