A booting Affra.
On Monday, aftomon, our town was
th:oivn into quite an excitement on hearing
the firing of revolver?. Several persr-js
namod Eounsbcrry, aa we Lu'.e heard the
story related, followed Joseph Miller around
town, with the intention of shootirg him.
At about 4 o'clock three of the Lounsborry's
made at Miller, who was standing in the
Mansion House door at the time, but Miller
kept them at Lay by kicking two of them,
und then retreating into the bar-room rai l
locking the door. One of the L .unsberry's
then riiade an attempt to hoist a window,
when Miller fired his revolver at him. but
ihe ball missed. Loutisberrv then ran to
the other window when Milbr fired the sec-
tind shot the ball cutting L utisberry'H
pants on the left hip. It is alleged by some
: hat the latter also fired once. This ended
the affray ; and after indulging in some hard
swearing ar.d loud talking the outsiders dis
persed Miller remaining in the house du
ring the evening. This affair grew out of
the melancholy tragedy which occurred near
this place on Sunday an account of which
will be found in another column.

! A UNITED STATES" OFPICER KILLED
ETA DESEKTEH !
On h-t Friday evening. Col. Cyrus But
ler and Lieut. l'avid Van Yhct. officers it the
service of the U. S. Government, came to
Clearfield to arrest dewrters. On Saturday
night, 2'.)tli October, having reason to le
lieve that the notorious Jo. Lounsberry
would be at his house, about three: miles
north of Clearfield borough, Butler and Van
Yliet, went thither. J ust as day was break
ing, on Sunday morning, Lounsberry came
out of the house, and proceeded to the barn,
probably for the purjo.-e ot feeding his stock.
The light was, as yet, too indistinct, tJ ad
mit of his recognition to a certainty; but on
his return to the house, all doubts on this
score were removed, and the officers at once
rapidly approached the house in the hore of
preventing his entrance. This they would
have succeeded, in had it not been for s. sec
ond door on the rear side of the house, into
which Lounsberry rushed, closely pursued
by the officers, who called upon him to top.
This demand wa?, as a matter of course un
heeded, and Lount-berrv ran up stairs, fol
lowed by Butler and Van Vliet. The stair
way was too narrow to admit rf more tlrin
one ::sieiidin.tr, except by following each oth
er. Butler went up ahead, Van Vliet .fol
lowing close after. Col. Butler had proceed
ed nearly to the- top of the- stairs, when
Lounsberry tired at him with a ritle, from
inside of 'the door, ihe ball taking effect in
the left side of the abdomen -of Butler, who
at once tired upon Lounsberry with a navy
revolver, with what effect was not kuown.
Lounsberry then rushed out and struck
Butler across the head with such force that
he broke tie' gun-trock. and then grappled
Lieut. Van Vliet. In this encounter, the
latter d topped his revolver, butstruck Louns
berry a blow with his fist, knocking him
d nva the stairway. Lourisberiy, .however,
recovered before Van Vliet could get to him,
a:i, running out of the back do jr maegood
Li ci-.-ar. It is believed that Lounsberry
was v.iu tided T one of lite shots fred by
;0i. liulk.r, as blood was found on the line
cf j,;3 tracks.
fjt,i. jjuter was brought to this pi ice. on
sn.iv. w'.r.', 7):c Wood, llartswiekl Wfi-
son and pack man examined and dressed his
wounds. But ail was vain ; for on Monday
rnoming, at about 2 o'clock, he died. Thus
Loun ;berry has added to his other violations
of law, the horrible crime of MniDl.R ! for
Col. Butler was an officer of tlfo Govern
ment, tryiug to discharge his duty, aid that
only. He and Lieut. Van Vliet came here,
ut the rcqvrd cf JVovost Manual CamjMl,
to arre.-t dese: tors.
We hav-3 endeavored to give the fact of
this tragical af':.ir as nearly as we have bien
able to a -cei tain them; and we regard the
affair us the natural result of the teachings
of the Copperhead leaders, who refused to
extend the aid cf either men or money to
the Government, and talked of "a free fight
or a free balloS !,"' The blood of Cob Duller
rests heavily upon their shoulders, and it re
mains to be seen how far they will, in the f u
ture. be sustained in this eonntv bv the hon-
eA and1'v n0'1"? lfple.
On Monday morning r.n .Inquisition was
summoned by Esquire Shugart, which, after
eliciting the facts from v. itne.ves called, filed
a verdict, settinforlh that ;'the said Cyrus
Butlen a regularly appointed Provost Mar
sha, by the Government authorities, in the
discharge of his duties, wa shot in the bi l
ly about thiee. inches above and to the left
of the. navel.'' which cau; hi dea'h.
N. B. It is rumored here, through what
ource is best known to thrfse who furnish
the information, that L oiuisberry received a
flesh wound on the lower part of the arm.
A Fair Election cf a Free Fight.
We have still farther developments in
connection with the election frauds on the
soldiers, coti"octe l at Albany under the su
pervision of the minions of Gov. Seymour,
and attempted to be put into force in the
afiny to cheat the soldiers while in the exer
cise eft he elective franchise. For threw, or
four mouths pa-t, the Democratic leaders
have been boi-t.-rous in their vehement
declarations that they would either have "a
fair election or a free fight." That cry was
raised to cover the transactions which have
just been discovered, so that while the poor
dupes ot the Democratic loaders at home
were screeching in drunken menace about
"a fair election or a free fight," these lead
ers were concocting the most stupendous
frauds to cheat the soldiers. We. consider
that the whole game is worthy of the cause"
of George. McClellan, and we have not
the least doubt that the scheme was resort
ed to with his full knowledge and approval.

J FFF I) avis, in his Columbia speech, says
he has "tried every possible means of settle
ment honorable to ourselves, haserf on n rec
ognition of our independence." This is a
bout as cool a bit of impudence a has yet
appeared.. .The preliminary step in the ne
gotiation was to be a dissolution of the Union,
and a recognition of the independence of the
Confedracy. That little matter being settled, j
Jeff, thinks that terms of peace might be a
greed upon; but it seems that Mr. Lincoln
was so unreasonable as to refuse to take even
that preliminary step. :

1 he SecieUry cf -tue Treasury .give' notice that
subscription wtll be recetvd for Coupon Treasu
ry Notes, payable in three yeais from August 16,
lfl4, with fumi-ancaal interest at the rate of sev
en and three tenths per cent, per annum princi
pal and interest both t he paid in lawful money.
These notes will be eanvprtit'N at the option of
the holder, at maturity, into six per cent, gold
bearing bonds, payable not less than five nor more
than twenty yearj from their date, as the Govern
ment may elect. They will bo issued in denomi
nations of 550, S100. S500, Sl.000 and S5.000, and
subscriptions must be for fifty dollars or some
multiple of fifty dollars.
The notes will be transmitted to the owners
free of transports tio n charges as soon after the
receipt of the original certificates of depoiitas
they can be prepared
As the notes draw interest from August 16th,
persons making deposit subsequent to that date
must paj the interest accrued from date of note
to date of deposit.
Parties depositing twenty-five thousand dollars
nd upwards for these notes at any one time will
be allowed a commission of one-quarter of ona
per cent., which Fill be paid by the Treasury
Department upon a receipt or the amount, certi
fied to by the officer with whom the deposit was
made. No deductions for commissions must be
made from the deposits.
Special advantages of this Loan.
It is a National Savings Bank, offering a high
er rata of interest than any other, and THE ekst
security-. Any savings bank which pays its de
positors in U. S Notes, considers that it is paying
in the best circulating medium of the country,
and it cannot pay in anything better, for its own
assets are either government securities or in not
or bonds payable injgoverument paper.
It is equally convenient a a temporary tr per
manent investment. The notes can always be
sold for within a fraction of their face and accu
mulated interest, and are the best security with
banks as collaterals for discount. 9
Convertible into Six per cent. 5-20
Gold Bond. In addition to th very liberal In
terest on the notes for throe years, this privilege
of conversion is now worth about three pr cent,
per annum, for tho current rate for 5-2U Bonds is
not less than nine per cent, premium, and before
the war the premium on six per cent. U. S. stock
was over twenty per cent. It will be seen thf I
the actual profit on this loan, at the present ma -ket
rate, is not less than ten per cent, per annu n,
Its exemption from State and Mi ni-
ciiMi, Taxation. Uut aside from ail the adv r.ta
ges wo haee enumerated, a special Act of Con
gress exempts all, bonds and Treasury notf from
local taxation. On the average, tbi exo option
is worth about two per cent, per annum, accord
ing to tho rato of taxation in various parts of
the country.
It is believed that no securities otTeiso great
inducements to lenders as those issued y the gov
ernment. In all other forms of iudeb edncss. the
