Charles Dickens, the great novelist, died at his residence, at London, on Thursday erening, June 9th baring been prostrated by appoplexy the previous evening. An exchange contends that "the) only safe road for Republicans to trarel is the way of justice, truth and virtue.' This is undoubt edly true, as that-is the only road in which we will be certain to encounter no Demo crats. The Bcllefonte RcjntLlican and National establishments have been purchased by Ik. B. Barger, Esq., and consolidated, since the collapse of the latter. The Republican is now one of the largest and neatest papers in the State. The Charleston Courier says that hun dredd of the most valuable fossils are con stantly unearthed in the phosphate deposits near that city, and calls ior their preserva tion in a museum. In fact South Carolina itself is a fossil, but no one thinks of pre serving it, making a new one being cheaper. The Cubans, it seems, are using "Quaker guns," probably to make up for the lack of the genuine material. A wooden cannon was recently cnptured by tbeSpaniards,near Santo Spiritus, in the insurrectionary dis trict. The success of the us depends on whether there is a M'Clellan among the Spaniards. ."The Republican Congressional Executive Committee, we are glad to see, are making preparations for the fall campaign. The Democracy are ereatly elated over tbeir "great gains" reported from Oregon, and will renew their efforts to make a vigorous fight next fall. Therefore let the Republi cans" be up and doing. The Newark, (New Jersey), Courier thinks if Congress would follow the Presi dent into the "wilds of Pennsylvania," or some other good place, the country would be gratified. Our friend bhould bear in mind that Congress makes it a point to fol low the President in nothing. Aud "that's what's the matter." ' It is said that General Hancock has at last succeeded in doing some good in the west by establishing a sort of armistice with - the Indians, and matters are now beginning to assume a more quiet aspect in the Indian regions. And, we presume, a sort of war will break out again upon the return of the Indian delegation from Washington. The New York World thinks that if the Democratic party makes no mistakes, it may , -easily elect the majority of the next Con- : gress. The entire history of that party has '.been but a series of mistakes, and blunders which were worse than crimes ; and to hope that now it will depart from the error of its way and walk in the path of righteousness, exhibits a degree of credulity that is un precedented. The'Worhl rejoices that while General Grant goes after trout in Pennsylvania the Democracy have landed a noble salmon in Oregon. It is not so certain whether the salmon is landed yet or not, but. at the worst we shall feel partially compensated for our loss if the fish is a fresh one. For a long time past the Democracy has given us no thing but salt fish in the way both of.princi pies, issues and men. Anything with ihe breath of life io it we hail. We heartily thank the Governor of the Commonwealth for his most seasonable and impressive appeal to his fellow citizen without distinction of party, to tee to it now that no candidates shall be put in nom ination for the next Legislature, except such as may be trusted to protect the Treasury from any renewal of the attempts of last winter to divert the securities in the sinking fund from their constitutional application to the payment of the State debt. The Gov ernor states the case fully and plainly. We will pnblith his. address next week. One of the staple eliargei now being brought against the Administration by the Democracy, through their newspapers and conventions, is that of taxing the people un duly. But when the question of abolishing the income tax came up tu the House on Fri day, the Democratic delegation of this State, headed by Judge Woodward, voted almost Bolidly against the repeal. Whatever may be thought of the income as a source of Gov ernmental revenue, this action thoroughly exposes the bypocricy of the Democratic party. A subterraneous outlet to Great Salt Lake has been found opposite Corinne. and be tween Fremont and Kimball Islands. The schooner Pioneer, Capt. Ilannsgb, was drawn into the opening, which IS IS an lmmncn maelstrom, or whirlpool, and the descent and circular motion of the water was so rap id and violent that the vessel was hh.Ia spin around in it with frightful velocity, aud it was only by a high wind prevailing at the time that she was enabled to sail beyond the influence of the awful chasm. Captain Hannagh reports that he has no doubt what ever toai ttiis opening, which was never be fore discovered, is the grand outlet of the Iake." party of 'eitific men will leave Corinne immediately on the eteaaier Kate Conner,' to investigate thia greatest of mod ern wonders. The result will probably show how tuouutain streams have disappeared Jhrough the earth's surface. f;e The Eepublican Party. the Re- publican organization which has frequently deceived its opponents into a fallacious hope of defeating it ; this is the habit of its mem bers to discuss very treeiy Deiorc iue puu.u, their differences of opinion. Ihe leaders of opinion among the Republicans have far more independence mail me xeuiui-raiiu leaders. They will not suDirnc io me dic tation of a few ; they assert their own opin ions with a freedom, and often with a bit terness, which has, on a dozen occasions, led the Democrats to the Republican organ ization was u;on the point of breaking to pieces, But it does not break to pieces. It is surely a sien ot vitality in a party, that its leaders have the courage to discuss freelv and ODenlv their blunders, and the oolicv which they are framing. Indeed, if a party is to grow, if it is to advance, if it it to take up new questions ai tney arise, and deal with them in a statesmanlike man ner, and in a way to satisfy the people, it cannot well tret alone without discussion unless it is controlled by a Ring or secret council which so tightly holds the reins that it is able, at any moment, to turn the whole machine in any direction it chooses. We do not agree, therefore, with those who think they see in the lively debate up on different points of policy now going on in the country, a sign of the imminent dis solution of the party. The leaders of opin ion among the Republicans are doiug now what they did all through the war what they have done ever since they have been in power they are debating the questions of the day among themselves, as though they were independent of all party bonds or affec tions, and bent onlv on advancing the truth or what each believes to be the truth. They could not bo better employed, tor thev are instructing the neoole and forming Eublic opinion, which in a few months will ave to control the Congressional nomina tion', and iu November fax tLe policy ot next Congress. The Republican party will never die of free discussion. Nor is it likely to lose the favor of the people because of any common blunders, such as any party in power might make. Those who count upon easily de feating it forget two things ; they forget what this party has done; aud they forget who are its opponents. The Republican party carried the greatest war of modern times to a successful issue ; it liberated the slaves, aud thus opened the way to unknown prosperity in the southern states ; and it did these two great acts against the constant and malignant opposition ot the Democrat ic party, which, when the Union was en dangered, suffered its leaders to put it on the side of the Union enemies. The people have not forgotten this ; and the Republicans must be blunderers indeed, it they cannot, with this double advantage, keep their hold of the country. Nor have the people reason now to cast off the Republican leaders. The Admin istration is not popular," critics say but the Administration is paying off the debt ; it has purified the public service, so shamefully debauched by Johnson and his democratic familiars ; it is collecting the revenue, and economizing the expenditures. If Andrew Johnson had done half in this direction that Grant has done, he would have been a re markably popular man ; and while some politicians are .dissatisfied, tho people rec ognize these achievements and are well satisfied with the men who are serving them honestly. Bed Cloud at Washington. The chief ot the Sioux, Red Cloud, deliv ered, on Tuesday, the time-honored Indian speech, varyirg the usual expressions by a modest demand that the Government should furnish ammunition and food to his people, stop the building of railroads through his country, and leave his people in possession of their territory. Whi!e-a part of his de mands cannot of course be complied with, there is force in his complaint that the lands of his people have been taken by railroad corporations without compensation. This 13 unquestionably wrong, but wc think Secre tary Cox baa already issued orders, preven ting the building of such roads. His com plaint against tho brutality of agents and soldiers has also some justice without doubt, but, en the other hand, he aud his tribe have been peculiarly trcaAerous and mur derous. There is an apparent realization, on his part, too, that he and his people cannot hope to maintain a fight against the power of the Government, and that they must give up the chac, and engage in farm ing. But he longs for a short time to enjoy the savage mode of life, and wants ammu nition to "kill game." This with the adorn ments is about the substance of the great chief's speech. It is needless to say it will not rank with the celebrated speech of Red Jacket, nor does Red Cloud deserve to be regarded as the equal of King Philip, of colonial times. He has made a fewsucess ful dashes, and is inflated with conciet as a consequence. Still he is at the head of a somewhat powerful and certainly restless tribe of Indiana, and should be mollified, or held as a hostage for the good conduct of his tribe. The best thing possible is to meet present demands and then turn the tribe over to the Quakers, who have thus far prov en our best commissioners. Financial. The Buffalo Express gives the following aciount of a fWtieiul transac tion which took place in an office in that city a few days ago : By some means or other, it happened that the office-boy owed one of the clerks three cents, the clerk owed the cashier two cents, and the cashier owed the of5ee-loy two ceuts. The office boy, bavingr ppnfr. in Lie r,rwL-t nnr,.JA tA diminish his debt, and therefore handed the I I - ..I it t nicKie over to tne cleric, wiio in turn, paid half of his debt by giving tho coin to the cashier. The latter handed the cent back to the office-boy, remarking; "Now I only owe you one cent." The office boy again passed the cent to the clerk, who passed it back to the cashier, who passed it back to the office-boy, and the latter individual squared all aecoutns by paying it to the clerk thereby discharging the whole debt. The above shows what can be done with a very small sum of mouey, if only properly managed, aud is worthy of remembrance by our readers generally, especially as there is at this time on almost universal comnlaint of tho scarcity of money in this county. .Let every man pay what he can, whether the sum be large or small, and soon we shall hear no more complaints of a financial strin gency. A "nimble sixpence" is of more benefit to a community than many slow thousands. It is worthy of remembrance that, on the bill, which passed the House last week, to reduce the taxation of the people by some sirtv-fivft millions nF Ar.M- ti r,. , "'a "uany, every Kennhlioan memrwr vntaA .- j .w.v.1. jU, luIS allevia tion of the public burthens, while thirty-five just one half of the Democratic minority went solid against it Gold is uowu toiioj. affemanV gonxnat, gfearfieft, Ijfa., gmte 15, 1870, Encouragement Prom Abroad. The British Free Traders here and in England are very Mark Tapleys to extract comfort from adverse circumstances, an" they surpass a Spaniard in inaki ng a defeat appear a victory. Our European dispatches of a month ago assured us that "in view of the probable reduction of duties on iron by the United States, increased activity was seen in the iron producing region of Wales, and the jubilant tone of the English press demonstrated as clearly as the depression ot our iron producing regions, that the interests of the Foreiguer were being served at the expense of Home Labor by the British- ree-Trade-Democratic party of the United States aided by the whole Irish vote of our laud. Now, when the attempt to reduce the duties on iron, and destroy the iron interest in America to serve England, has met with a rebuff, the English papers grimly aduiit the triumph of American Labor, but pat the tories here on the back, and urge them on in ther unpatriotio work. The London Times, of June 6, argues "from the temper of the House ot Renresentatives at Wash ington upon the Tariff question, that the measure will finally be defeated." It regards such a result as "highly beneficial' ' because "it will have a tendency to modify party ties." It hopes that the party now in Con gress, whom it designates a "revenue reform ers, "will persevere in their enortsoi ngni- ening the burdens of taxation, and execute the programme which they nave uiarneu out. Thpre von hava it all. even to the slang ! The defeat of the free traders iu their ne farious fluukeyism to England will induce them to make a nolitical fight on the tariff, and this it is hoped in England wilP'niod ifv party ties." or in other words inure to the strength of the Democracy, by the defeat of Republican Congressmen who refused to betray their constituents into the nanas oi British monopolists. Hoping this, it urges the "party in Congress, kuown as 'Revenue Reformers,' " to persevere and carry out the programme of subserviency and toad yism to Eugland. Well, we do not envy the Free Traders their champion. They are welcome to all the benefit they can derive from the support of a newspaper which has never yet spoken one honest word of friendly counsel for our country. And we especally commend to the Fenian Brotherhood this fact. They arc steadily voting with a party which act in the interest of England and enjoys the shameful distinction of the praise of the chief organ of that people which plants its heel on Ireland, and presses the life out of their native land. We havesoen an immense amount of fun in a not very long life. Our perceptive faculties are, phreuologically, satisfactory. And our relish for the ridiculous naturally very keen has been pampered to a point which sometimes forces us beyond the line of strict propriety which the grave discus sion of ponderous questions demands. But in all our experience in amusing nonseuse we have seen nothing more badly grotesque than this Free Trade party, and its attempt to foist itself on this country as a combi nation seeking the good of this people. There is nothing to be urged in favor of it as a patriotic, or even an American, com bination. Everything requiretUo brand it a tory organization for the purpose of degrad ing our country is profusely found in every department of inquiry. Not only is this true, but every argument brought, forward in its favor, or defense, but adds to the al ready over-whelming mass of evidence which convicts it of unpatriotic truculenee to our natural and traditionary rival. England supplies the theory, the busy advocates, the advice, the brains, the money, the managers, and from her Irish dependency a large proportion of the votes which keep her lick-spittles, the American Free Traders, active in labor, full in stoiuaeh, and capable of mischief. Praise of their acts comes from across the water. Curses only arc vouchsafed here. And if the American people could have a square vote or, if such a wild flight of fancy could be 'realized, the Irish could be made to see anything sensi ble, in such a contest there would not be found ten members of Congress agaiust their country and in favor of her perhdious enemy, England. Democratic Impecuniosity. The Chicago Post thinks the Democracy are hard pushed, jireatly in need of aid and comfort, and makes a strong appeal in their behalf. Have you (it asks) an old coat, a pair of woru out shoes, a bit of cold vituals, or any such, thin? ? If you have pass it over to the dejected Democracy. The smal lest triflo will be thankfully received. Down at Centralia they elected & Republi can negro to the Board of Aldermen because he was the best man they could find who would accept their votes. But in the East they are still worse off. At the election last week at Farmville, Va., the Democrats nominated for tbeir State Senator, Mrs. Clcnning Jorgerssen, a sprightly, bright and somewhat intelli gent mulatto," as a candidate against the regular Kepublican nominee. About ten o'clock she discovered that Democrats were vol ins for her, and this was too much. She yielded to her prejudices and disguat, and withdrew her name ; whereupon her discon certcd supporters dispersed to the contigu ous corner groceries. It seems to us, looking at the whole mat ter from this distance, that the lady did wrong. She ought, in a Christian spirit to have accepted the ignominy of receiving Democratic votes, in the hope of helping to elevate the purposes of that party. They probably made the nomination in good faith in a firm resolution to reform. They wan ted somebody who represented the loyal element, ana knowing that no white man would sacrifice himself, they selected a mu latto woman. Their ambition is most com mendable and ought to be encouraged. Let them not despair. Lot them press on. If they can't get a white Republican, let them take a colored Republican ; if they can't get a black man, let them take a black woman, and if no black will be their candidate, let them rally around the school house and be stow their ballots on an intelligent piccanin ny. They can hardly make a move in this dircctiou without improving the quality of their candidates. Fkksof Lawyxrs. Ve see it stated that David Dudley Field received $300,000 from the Erie Railroad. William M. Stew art was paid $25,000 cash by the Gould -Curry silver miue, and so many feet of the ore, which, altogether, netted him $200,000. Jeremiah S. Black received $60,000 from the New Alexander mine, and a few months ago, he sued them for $75,000 in addition, and received judgment. William M. Ev ans has teen paid $25,000, for defending Andrew Johnson, and his income is $125, 000. He recently charged $5,000 for one speech which occupied him eighty minutes. We wouldn't object to receiving a "fie" or two like the above.

Jourkal : Having recently return ed to this place after a sojourn of two months in your county, I have felt like com municating through your columns to the many intelligent readers thereof, a few items which may be of interest to some of tbem, in reference to our new home, as contrasted with the mountain districts of Pennsylvania. And here let me say.that while I have no wish to detract from the real merits ot your coun ty, naturally rich as it is, in its pine foiestvs, its splendid water power, and soon to be de veloped, mineral resource, I must never theless, when considered in an agricultural or commercial point of view, give eastern North Carolina the preference. Here we have unbounded tracts of fertile lands, level and free from stone, soil a sandy loam, susceptible of producing an abundant re ward to the; husbandman, not only in the shape of the cereals, roots, vegetables, fruits, Sic, but also in the growth of that staple article, once king of commerce and almost ruler of our nation, cotton, which although dethroned and shorn of its crown, yet is destined to become a powerful auxili ary to the building up of a country once ruined and laid low by the peculiar institu tion over which he exercised bis kingly power. Here we are on the banks of a deep and majestic river, which has its outlet to the ocfttu through the Albemarle Sound, over which ride daily the snorting st.amer with her tall smoke stack sending aloft the sooty volume, which with her shrill steam whistle tells of her giant powers, &i also the gallant schooner, with her white sailsspread to the breeze, carrying away the rich freight pro duced upon our native soil, to return laden with merchandise from the great manufac turing emporiums of the world. Here too, we have a climate unsurpassed in loveliness aDywhere on the Atlantic coast ; winters mild and pleasant, requiring little or no stabling of stock, and affording ample time for the farmer to prepare the ground for the spring crops, and through the summer a healthful and exhilerating breeze from the ocean which robs the heat of its terrors. At this writing the weather is truly" delight ful, and since my return from the north on the 21st ult., we have had no weather so warm as it was in Clearfield on the 19th of May ; but on tbe contrary it has been so cool, that fire has on several occasions been necessary in our sitting rooms. The crops look well. Wheat is already assuming a golden hue, oats out in hsad, cherries ripe, early peaches nearly full size, apples half grown, the strawberry season past its meridian, corn from one to two feet in height, new potatoes fit for U6e, early peas and radishes gone, onion, cabbage, fcc in the market, cotton undergoing the weed ing process, while the farmers, with smiling countenances, greet each other in anticipa tion of a fruitful season. The health of the country is excellent, of over thirty families, compriaing about 150 persons, who have settled here from the North within the last IS months, not one reported sick. I may here state for tbe satisfaction of my person al friends in Clearfield, that my health, which was so impaired while there, Las greatly improved since my return hers. In conclusion I would say that in view of the low prices of land, (from 15 to 25 dollars per acre for improved and from 3 to 5 dol lars for timber land,) and tbe abundance and cheapness of labor, (from $10 to $15 per month incuding board,) witk a never fail ing market for all kinds of produce, regula ted by the prices in the Northern cities, and the great facilities for cheap transportation with a prospect of a continued increase in the productive and manufacturing interest of this vast Southern country, would it not be well for some of your enterprising capi talists to take a trip by way of prospecting in the hitherto undeveloped South land, have neglected in this letter, (but I think spoke of it in a former one,) to refer to the magnificent forests of wood and timber, in eluding yellow pine, cypress, juniper, oak ash, beech, maple, sycamore and sweet gum that everywhere greet the eye, which will ere long, dcvelope an immense trade in shingles, staves, sawed lumber, etc. In short there is a wide field open for enter prise. Capitalists, come and see for your selves I Very respectfully, &c, John Russell. Democracy in Delaware. The Wilmington Commercial gives the following account of the conduct of the De mocracy of that region at a recent nomiua ting meeting : The Democratic nomination at new Cas tie on Saturday was the roost disgraceful scene ever in that town. 1 he two candt dates from New Castle Hundred fought pitched battle, with whiskey for weapons. and there was in consequence a carnival of drunkenness and disorder tbat will make the day one long to be remembered. Aris tocrats and plebians were all drunk together. Boys under 16 years of age and men from other Hundreds came in and voted, and then promptly got drunk. No less that six reg ular fights occurred during the day, the fighting appearing to be -mainly between the Red Lion native "White Men" and the Irish Democracy. The Red Lion crowd were at last got off borne, aud went through the streets in a disgusting condition. They stopped at the store of a Republican, and after abusing him got into a fight among themselves. Only one of the rioters was arrested during the day, although the Dep uty Sheriff had to interfere in two or three fights. There must have been a hundred drunken men and boys in the town, who went yelling and shouting through the streets like wild beasts, and all good citizens were thoroughly disgusted with the pro ceedings, and even Democrats pronounced the "Election" a disgraceful farce. No colored people were attacked, the Democra cy preferring to fight amongst themselves. 429 votes were polled, and Lambson had 2 majority. So much for tbe "proud Cauoa sions." Presbyterian' Reunion.

The Kidneys are two in number, situated at the upper part ot the loin, surrounded by fat, and consisting of three parts, vis : the Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs Interior consists of tis sues or veins, wbicn serve as a deposit for tbe urine and eonvey it to the exterior. Tbe exte rior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the Ureter. The ureters are con nected with the bladder. The bladder is cose posed of various eoverings r tissues, divided into parts, via: tbe Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have a desire to urinate without the ability, others urinate with out the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these affeotions, we must bring into ac tion tbe maseles, which are engaged in their va rious functions. If they ere neglected, Gravel or Dropsy saay ensue.

Under this head we have arranged Dysurie, or difficulty and pain in passing water Scanty Secretion, or small aad frequent dischar ges of water; Strangury, or stopping of water; Hematuria, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheuma tism of the kidneys, without any change in quan tity, bat increase in color, er dark water It was always highly recommended by the late Dr Fhystek, in these affections. This medicine increases the power of digestion aad excites the absorbeats into healthy exercise by which the watery or caloareous depositions and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain aud inflammation are reduced, and it is taken by man, women and children. Directions for use and diet accompany. PHU.ADui.rniA, Pa., Tab. 21, 18ST II. T, II am bold, Druggist : Dear Sib: I nava been a sufferer, for upward of twenty years, with gravel, bladder and kidney affections, daring which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under tbe treat ment ef the most eminent Physicians, experien eing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extensively ad' vertised, I eoasultod with my family physician in regard to using your Extract Euchu. I did this because I had used all kinds ef ad vertised remedies, and had found them worthless. and some quite injurious; in fact, I despaired of ever getting well, a nd determined to use no rem edies hereafter unless I knew of the iagredienta It was this that prompted me to use your remedy As you advertised that it was composed of bucho cnbebs and juniper berries, it occurred to mo and my physician as an excellent combination, and with his advice, after au examination of the arti cle, and consulting again with the draggist, 1 eoneluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight months ago, at which time I was confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonish ed and gratified at the kenefiaial effect, anl after using it three week was abla to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at that time, but thought my improvement might only be temporary, and therefore eoneluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfoot cure knowing then it would be of greater value to you and more satisfactory to me. I am ow able to report that a oure is effected after using the remedy for five months. I have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buehu being devoid ot any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it wh cnever occasion may require its use in such affections.
