. Tha War la Europe.
By tho arrival of -the Sti Lavid3 off Fa
ther Point we hare one day later news from
Europe. The battle at Skalita does not ap
pear to have been as decisive as was - infer
red from the previous advices. .Both sides
claimed the advantage. According to Prus
sian accounts, the Austrians were driven in
the direction of Josefstadt. ' . The third
Prussians army corps took 1,000 prisoners.
An attack of the Prussians upon the Galli
cian town of Oiwieczyni was repulsed. The
Austrians had occupied the Silesian town of
Myslonwitz, but it was soon reoccupied by
the Prussians. The King ot Italy, in a dis
patch to the Council of Ministers, say3 that
the battle at Castuzza was neither won or
oct ..The army will at once be concentrac
J for a new advance. - ,
-Latex By the arrival of the Persia we
have lwvdaj-s' later news from Europe.
Tue Austrians aud Prussian dispatches on
the ; campaign in Bohemia continue to be
contradictory. The Prussians claim to have
made on the 27 th and 28th of June, 5,000
prisoners at Nachod, and 3,000 at Tranteuan.
and to have gained a complete victory at
these tw places as well as at Mancbengratz.
The Austrians, in turn, -claim a victory at
Skalitz on the 27th, and triumphantly an
nounce that the final results of the battles
of the 28th, was the retreat of the Crown
Prince to Glatz, in Silesia, and . of Prince
Frederic Charles to Nienies,' near the Saxon
frontier. The Prussians had captured Trop
pan in Austrian filesia, and ' destroyed rail
way communication between Yieuna and
Cracow, but their attack upon Osswiecin,
in Gallicia, was repulsed. The Austrians
have- invaded Lombardy from the Tyrol, and
captured Bormio.
' LatjSst. The Austrian dispatches which
claimed a repulse ot the Prussian armies
and their withdrawal to Silesia and Saxony,
were soon contradicted by stiring events.
On the 29th of J une, the Prussians stormy
cd the town ot Gifechu, and compelled the
Austrians to fall back to Josephstadt and
Kocniggratz. ' ' This victory secured the
junction of the two Prussian armies, against
which Benedck concentrated the whole of
the -Austrian and the Saxon forces. To
gether the contending forces numbered up
ward ot GOO.OOO men. A great and decisive
battle was fought on the 3d of July at Lu-
dowa, in which the Austrians were totally
" defeated, losing no less than 14,000 prison
ers. They immediately sent .in a flag :.of
truce.. Austria, after this crushing defeat,
agreed to cede Vcnetia to the emperor of
France, asking his mediation. Napoleon at
onci communicated . with , the belligerents,
and proposed an armistice. The replies cf
Italy aud Prussia to this proposition have
not yet been received.
. In a Eapid Decline.
.Immediately after the nomination of Heis-
ter Clymer, tor Governor, on the 4th of
March last, says the Reading Journal, his
friends in Berks claimed for him a majority
of 10,000, in the county. At a meeting
held in Bernvule on the Q:h June, these
same men pledge the county for "at least
7,000 mijority." If hi3 supporters are wil
ling to concede a reduction of 3,000 in three
month, without an effort on the part of his
opponents, how much of the 7,000 will re
main to him when his claims are fairly can
vassed before the j people in" contrast with
those of the man who "did not count his
life dear" that his country might survived
, - ' '
" Union of Extremes. '' '
Wendell ' Phillips quite agrees with the
Democrats that the Congressional plan of
restoration is on outrageous. one, and that
the Constitutional amendment should not
be" ratiaed.:f Here is a union of extremes
quite refreshing.' Bat there is nothing new
in it. When moderate men are united, men
orextreme vtew3 and action 1 are generally
found practically coalescing. It is not the
first time the Democrats have derived sup
port from Mr' Philips but we are not
aware that1 even thus reinforced they have
been able to accomplish anything serious.

Poor Clymer. .
-We are in receipt of another Clymer elec
tipneering document, which is being indus
triously circulated in this . county by, tle
L. .' .faithftu, representing a-Southern - Demo
rtt's dadghter marrying a negro slave-f
both the childrwa of the same father." " Poor
Clymer!4" We really pity him; and hope
he may survive this suggestive illustration
of the principles of his party. ' ' ' ;

.The Tariff. , " ,
The passage of the Tariff bill by the low
er House of Congress was hailed with the
liveliest feelings of anticipation by the la-'i
boring classes generally throughout the coun-;
try ; but,' the tote of the Senate, iij post
poning action on the bill until December
10th, is as universally regretted and execra
ted. This action of th8 Senate will "induce
excessive importations from abroad the
effect of which will be to close up many of
our factories, furnaces, and other manufac
turing establishments, to the detriment of
all clashes throughout the country. The
axtisanwith properprotccti-n to jnnnufac-
tur?s. is a consumer of aericnltural products.
which creates a -market for the farmer, but
the moment you take away that protection,
he is compelled to. become a producer to
maintain ' himself and family, and thereby
destroys the demand for-the fanner's.' pro
duce. . Thus it is evident, that any action
of Congress that will affect any one . branch
of our industrial pursuits, must affect the
others. ' We hope the Senate will act wise
ly in this matter, by reconsidering its vote
of postponement and at once passing the
Tariff bill. "
. Evidences of Beconstruction.
One ; evidence of reconstruction at the
South is to be found in the release by the
local courts, on writs of habeas corpus, of
criminals heretofore convicted and impris
oned by the military courts of the United
States for high crimes and misdemaanors.
n instance of this kind has just been at
tempted in Charleston, but General Sickles
declined to release the criminals. The next
step was to send a Marshal to arrest Gener
al Sickles for contempt of Court, but the
General refused to be' arrested. Secretary
Stanton being appealed to, endorsed his
course. , There the matter remains for the
present, but it is pretty evident that the
moment peace is fully restored to the Reb
els, a general jail delivery of the miscrean s
who have murdered our soldiers and op
pressed the Union people of the South will
take place. : ,
"The Great Fight."
Hon. Horace Maynard, one of the ablest
of the Tennessee Unionists, writes thus to
Gov. Brownlow : "I shall endeavor to be in
Tennessee shortly, and at Nashville by the
time the Legislature convenes. I see the
rebels howl over the , proposed amendments
to the Constitution. That ought to deter
mine the Union men at once. Gov. Pier
pont sent me, this morning, an editorial
from the Richmond Times of yesterday, the
most violent, wicked, malignant .and devil
ish. The great fight will be in the coming
election this fall. If the Union men sus
tain themselves, the onward course of events
is easy .and pleasant for the country. It
they are overthrown, then the Southern
Confederacy revives, and starts out on a
new career." ' '; ' '
Sure for Clymer. The Adler the
Dutch' "Bible" of the Berks county Democ
racy, is highly delighted with the recent de
cision of the Supreme Court of this State
giving deserters the right to vote, ; and no
wonder. The Adler counts upon it as cer
tain that every deserter will be sure to vote
the Copperhead, ticket, and the Adler is
right. There is not a deserter, or bounty
jumper, or ex-rebel in the State that will
not vote for Clymer ; and surely they should,
for Clymer Voted against the bill disfran
chising deserters. Our brave soldiers, who
served faithfully ' during the war, should
take note of this Copperhead, exultation of
their prospect of being reinforced by deser
ters, and skulking cowards. .
Can't go Clymer. The Clymerites are
trying to get up Soldier Clubs throughout
the country and are button-holing every sol
.dier to give his name. It seenii that unfair
means are used to raise recruits. . Here is
a card from a soldier in Lancaster, Pa. ,
which tells its own story: .
To ALL: WHOM IT MAY. CONCERN. . Mv
name was obtained to the call for a Clymer
Club, published in last night's Intelligencer
under false representations. I will not vote
for Clymer. and never said I would to any
one. 1 will vote and use my influence for
Ueary and the Lnion ticket. 1 vote the
way I shot. James L. Benson. . .. -

This may be true in the aggregate, but
the Democracy of Clearfield county don't
pay their quota of it ; for, according to the
Internal Revenue Returns, the Republicans

one dollar.". -
Significant. The" Democaatic papers
are jubilant over the decision of the Supreme
Court declaring that deserters cannot be dis
franchised without trial and conviction,
while the loyal journals with one accord ac
cept the judgment of the Court with pro
foundest regret. Ia this not a significant
lesson? Wfll the soldiers who are expected
to Vote for Clymer "please make a note of it?

The Convention to Meet in Philadelphia oa
. .. September 3d, 1S6G. -i
The following is tha call for a convention
of Southern Unionists, o be held in Inde
pendence llall in the city of Philadelphia
on the 1st .Monday of Septehiber. 1866":
.To the loyal VnionUts of the South: The
great is.sue is upon us. The majority in
Uongress, and its supporter, urm.y aciuie
.,
that "the rights of the citizens enumera
in the Constitution, and established by the
supreme law,must be maintained inviolate,

the State aWj, aj'l unl-irsueh regulations
nic-i .uis oi iuo viueiis uiuou u
as the re.-peeuve States cuouac voluntarily
to nrescrioe."
We have seen this doctrine of State sov
ereignty carried oat in its ' practical results
until ad authority in Congress was denied,
the Union temporarily destroyed, the con
stitntiona! rights of the citizens of the south
nearly annihilated, and the land desolated
by civil war." The titna has couie when the
structure of Southern . States' governments
"musr be laid on constitutional principles or
the despotism grown up nnder an atrocious
leadership be permitted to remain. We
know of no other plan thau that Congress,
under its constitutional ; powers, shall now
exercise its authority to establish the prin
ciples whereby protection is made coexten
sive with citizenship. We maintain that no
State, either by its organic law or legislation,
can make transgression on the rights of the
citizen legitimate.
We demand, and ask you to concur in de
manding,' protection to every citizen of this
great Republic, on the basis of equality be
iore the law; and fuither, that no State
government would be reco'gnized as legiti
mate under the Constitution, so far as it
does not, by its organic law, make iuipirtia!
protection full and complete.
Under the diwtrine of "State sovereign
ty" with rebels in the foreground controll
ing Southern Legislatures, and embittered
by disappointment in their schemes to de
stroy the Union, there will be no safety for
the loval element of the South. Oar re
liance for protection is now in Congress.and
the reat Union party that has stood and is
standing by the nationality, by the constitu
tional rights and by the . beneficent princi
ples of free government. . '-
For the purpose of bringing the loyal U
nionists of the South into conjunctive action
with the true friends of republican govern
ment in the North, we invite you to send
delegates in goodly numbers from all the
Southern States, including Missouri. Ken
tucky, West Virginia, Maryland and data
ware, to meet at Independence Hall, in the
city of Philadelphia, on the first Monday of
September nt-xt.
It is proposed that we should meet at that
time to recommend measures for the estab
lishment of such government in the South
as accords with and protects the rijrhts of
all citizens. We trust this call will be re
sponded to by a numerous delegation of such
as represent the true loyalty of the South.
That kind of government which gives full
protection to all the rights of the citizen,
such as our fathers intended, wc claim as
our birthright. Either the lovers of consti
tutional liberty must rule the nation, or reb
els and their sympathisers be permitted to
misrule it.
Shall loyalty or disloyalty have the keep
ing of the destinies of the nation ? Let the
responses to this call, which is now in circu
lation for signatures, and is being numer
ously signed, answer.
Notice is given that gentlemen at a dis
tance can have their names attached by
sending a request by letter, directed to I).

been officially reported to the Commanding
General that one Pomney O'Bannon, con
fined at Toomsboro, Wilkinson county,
Georgia ou a charge of murder, was taken
from legal custody by a mob and put to
death with inhuman atrocity. ,
The facts shown by investigation are that
O liannon was the ; probable accomplice of

of Mrs. Louisa Roilins, and in murderous
violence towards . other : members ot the
family ; that he was taken from the jail at
this place upon a warrant, and delivered to
the Deputy Sheriff in said county ; that he
was then seized by a mob of 200 or 3U0 per
sons of Toombsborough and vincinity, and,
by their unanimous vote, was chained to a
tree, and after his ears had , been cut off,
was tortured to death by burning.
These unlawful proceedings show that the
civil authorities are unable to compel re
spect for even the forms of justice in said
county. Therefore," as there is reason to
believe that.npon the apprehension of the
apposed'-principal of - O1 liannon civiliza

to the commonest impulse) of humanity were I
not filled with the wannest sentiment of gratitude
for the friendly expressions and persona1 regard :
that your letter contains, signed as it is by Re
publicans and Democrats, whom I know to be
staunch supporters of the Government, and tunny
who have risked their lives for tho preservation
ot the Union. Such distinguished consideration
overcomes every natural objection I may have for
political honors, consequently I do accept of your
kind invitation to allow my name to be used, but
with the understanding that 1 am not to be the
standard-bearer of either political party (Renub
icans or democrats) but if nominated it must be
by a People's Convention, as I'belong to the peo
ple. They a-e my friends and patrons, and in
justice to tbem. composed as they are of all shades
