FOR GOVERNOR, HON. WESTER CLYMER, ' or BERKS COUNTY. . The Sullivan Coal Field. The extensive coal fields of Sullivan Co. are likely soon to be opened up to market The Money Creek Railroad from Halls basin about four miles above Muney, is already graded a distance of eight miles,and will, at the rate the work is now progressing, be fin ished for a distance of twelve miles by the first of next month. II. It. Merhling Esq., the gentlemanly proprietor of the stage line, is superintending the work in an able manner and has high hopes of its early completion. Many of the ties are already on the ground, and the timber for the bridges oyer the en tire line is already prepared for building. The Road when completed, will run from Williamsport, through Hall's basin to Hughesville, and thence up Muncy Creek to Laporte and Dushpre where it connects with another road to run out by way of Towanda to "Waverly on the line of the New York and Erie. There is also a charter for a road to run from Rupert, across by Hughesville to connect with the Muney creek road which will make Hughesville a town of some impor tance as a railroad center. Messrs Mylert. President of the Muncy Creek Railroad, and Hon. George D. Jackson, are perhaps the heaviest among.the land-holders of that re gion, amd are laboring with great energy for the development of the immense wealth which lies hurried in the mountains of that counfy. Aside from the coal, iron and cop per, there are vast tracts which are valuable lor bark and timber, all of which the new road will open up to a lucrative markets "We shall rejoice to see these works completed, believing in addition to the benefit it will confer upon deserving men, that it will also greatly promote the public good. North 'd County Democrat. We would also inform the public, that it ia now positively certain that a large vein of coal has lately been discovered in the North - western part of Columbia County, which in addition to the iron and copper, will be reach ed by the branch road which is intended to run from Rupert to Williamsport, up Little Fishingcreek via MiUviHe, Muncy and Hughesville, at the same time forming a connection with the Muncy Creek Railroad. An outlet for these beds of coal, iron, and copper as well as the vasts regions of trade and timber b' now imperatively demanded .and must jsoon be obtained. The route up .LitO Fishingcreek Las, by survey, twice been f?ovea to be natural and easy, and the already', vast amount of business done along :thia route, with the late important discover- ieswhich portend great consequences ia fu ture have caused Rail Road Companies, and the-'people from great distances along this rouW, to become intensely interested in the building of this road. We hope they will not lag in the good work until it is accom plished. . Breckinridge, Chief-Justice Ta ney and the President. Th"e Richmond Ternes, noticing the report that Judge Underwood's jury had found in indictment against John C. Breckin ridge, uses the following language respect ing him : "We doubtlf, saying and excepting Gen eral Lee, there is a single Confederate leader more endeared to the hearts of the South era people than John C. Breckinridge. There is scarcely one whose influence for good among them would be greater in these . troublous times. His hfe has been devoted to his country, and of him that great lawyer and good man, Chief-Justice i'aney, once said that he never knew a purer public aian. Those qualities of heart and soul which ex cited the admiration of, and called forth the remark from Judge Taney, are well known to and fipd response in Andrew J ohnson. It is this fact which excites the apprehension of the Radicals and renders them clamorous for his outlawry and exile. They well know that in John C. Breckinridge the President would find a fast friend and firm supporter in the wise and statesmanlike policy he is pursuing for tkejrestCTartJon of the country. ' ' We indorse let Iry word of the above, most cordially and heartily. The President ought to lose, no time in extending a pardon to Mr. Breckinridge. There is no reason why any discrimination should be made against him, and why he should be treated with spe cial severity. His enemies all admit that he was a chivalrous soldier and garflant gentle man, and that he would be among the last who would ever be charged with, violating or setting at naught any of the rules that gov . em in warfare civilized and enlightened na tions. There ia no reason or justice in that policy which condemns a man of Mr. Breck inridge's talent rand higb position to- exile in another land!, vo one is more willing to accept ia good fiuii th results of the war, in which he bore jkt distinguished a part on the losing side, than' the the late Vice-President of the United States, now in Canada. Hi genius and his ability are . needed at home, which, can ill afford to spare the ser vices of see accomplished a statesman. The angularity f the discrimination against him i3 the mare- marked in it3 injustice that par- dona have- been, freely extended to others, whoweredlstinguished advocates of the right cf State EtccssioQ ; before Breckinridge had left school, and lial entered at all upon the active scenes of life..

We received a notice a few days Binco "re questing us to attend a Mass Convention of the Democracy of Eastern and Central Penn sylvania to be held inthe city of Reading, Berks County, the home of oar candidate for Governor, Hon. Hiester Clyster, on Wednesday, the 18th day of July, 18C6, for the purpose of opening the Gubernatorial campaign, and to reaffirm and endorse the principles contained in the following platform adopted by the Democratic State Conven tion, held at Harrisburg, on the 5th of March last : Resolved, That the States, whereof .the people were lately in rebellion, are integral parts of the Union and are entitled to rep resentation in Congress by men duly elected who bear true faith to the Constitution and law3, and in order to vindicate the maxim that taxation without representation is tyr anny, such representatives should be forth with admitted. Resolved, That the faith of the Republic is pledged to the payment of the National debt, and Congress should pass all laws nec essary for that" purpose. Resolved, That we owe obedience to the Constitution of the United States (including the amendment prohibiting slavery,) and under its porvisions will accord to those emancipated all their right3 of person and property. Resolved, That each State has the exclu sive right to regulate the qualifications of its own electors. Resolved, That the white race alone is en titled to the control of the Government of the Republic, and we are unwilling to grant to negroes the right to vote. Resolved, That the bold enunciation of the principles of the Constitution and the policy of restoration contained in the recent annual message and Freedinen's Bureau veto message of President Johnson, entitle him to the confidence and support of all who respect the Constitution and love their country. Resolved, That the nation owes to the brave men of our army and navy a debt of gratitude for their heroic services in defence of the Constitution and the Union ; and that while we cherish with a tender affection the memories of the fallen, we pledge to their widows and orphans the nation's care and protection. Resolved, That we urge upon Congress the duty of equalizing the bounties of our soldiers and sailors. Another Brooks and Sumner Caning Case. It appears that on the 11th inst., in the Lower House of Congress, Mr. Grinnell, of Iowa, in a speech, provoked and insulted General Rousseau, of Kcntucky,by speaking of General Rousseau's military services as "all pretence of the merest mockery a mere blowing of his own horn ;" and as "a fellow who had a quarrel with a colored barber again as "whining off with a woman's plea, taking refuge underfeminine skirts," talked of him as "assuming the airs of a Peacock" and called him "abuttoned-up Generalstand ing six feet in his boots," ic, &c, which most assuredly is something more than one could expect a Kentuckian p meekly endure. General Rousseau, after waiting three days for an appology, .which he had under stood was to be sent, on last Thursday, re plied to Mr. GrmneH's assault, by a vigorous caning of his person outside of the House. The opinions of the press varj' very much on this subject, but we must confess that the following from the New York Evening Post meets our views on the matter. "We did not think it right to pass over in silence the extraordinary scene on Monday last, in Congress, between Mr. Grinnell of Iowa, and Mr. Rousseau of Kentucky. We sharply rebuked Mr. Grinnel for the inde cent and unparliamentary language he used, and praised Mr. Rousseau for his composure and self-possession. It seemed to us that "he acted, under extreme provocation, like a true gentleman ; and no bravery in battle ever raised him higher in the esteem of re spectable men" than the composure with which he bore the unparliamentary and in decent language of Mr. Grinnell." It seems now that our praises were thrown away upon a person who has as little regard for the proprieties and decencies of life as Mr. Grinnell, and whose conduct yesterday, deliberate, because three days after the of fence was given, is as offensive and intolera ble as Mr. Grinnell'?. People would have made some excuse for Mr. Rousseau if. stung by the insulting language of Mr. Grinnell, he had committed some indiscretion at the time, and under the excitement of the mo ment. JJnthesat composedly and hslencd to his reviler on Monday, nursed his wrath until Thursday, and after seventy-two hours, deliberately and in cold blood committed a gross breach of the peace, the less excusable, as a lawmaker ought not also to be a law breaker. On Mondny evening General Rousfcau had gained the admiration and good will of all respectable and honorable men. and by his judicious conduct put Mr. Grinnel! fatally in the wrong. Yesterday he came down to a level with his antagoni.-t, and by a gross and inexcusable breach of the pcaoe committed within the bounds of the Capitol, not only forfeited the. respect of law abiding men. but justly incurred the loss of his seat in Con gress, which he has dishonored by his vio lence." Keep Your Discharges. Gov. Curtin having signed the bill disfranchising non reporting drafted men, and the Supreme Court not having determined the constitu tionality of the act of Congress of March 3, 1864, (upon which decision the validity, of the State law restsO it is essential that all honorably discharged soldiers should pre serve their discharge papers, and that all persons who were enrolled for the draft and secured exemption for any and every cause, should preserve the papers furnished them by the boards of enrollment. All those papers will have to be preserved with scrupulous care, because it is likely, (and proper enough too, that all persons who were enrolled or who have been in ser vice will be required to show their qualifica tions as electors. It will be very annoying and irritating, no doubt, especially to vete rans who have served their country faithfully during the war to be compelled to submit to the same drawbacks and annoyances so long endured by naturalized citizens, but there can be no help for it if the Disunion-shoddy-Republican bill goes into operation. The soldiers must thank the "soldiers' friend" and the Disunionists of the last Legislature for all the trials and tribulations to which thev will be subjected. Preserve the papers and discharges.

' When Andrew Johnon first became Pres ident, the Disunionitts declared that for some wise and good purpose Providence had removed his predecessor, and called him to the Executive chair. Since, however, his course has not proven to be in consonance with their blood-thirsty, plundering antici pations, Andrew Johnson is only President by accident. As a nam pie of the many speeches and sermons which were delivered throughout the country, on the death of Abraham Lincoln,in which the radicals mod estly claimed exclusive proprietorship in every Providential occurrence, we quoter a few sentences from a sermon preached by one Rev. Crane, in Hartfoid. It reads strange ly in the light of subsequent events. The Rev. gentleman said : - " But it is possible, it is more than possi ble, that just these qualities unfitted him for the final settlement of this conflict. There was danger that he would'subordinate his executive functions to his personal sympa thies ; that he would forget that God had placed the sicord of retributive justice in Ms hands to be used ; than he would feel that the traitors had suffered enough alreadj'.and needed no further punishment; that he would even pardon Davis and Stephens, and Johm son and Lee, if they should come into his power. He was drifting in that direction, and most of us were drifting with him. If he was in danger of this mistake, then his work was done, and therefore (Jod translated hiui.havingso nobly done,to glory. But Andrew Johnson, a man of nerve has had his heart under the iron heel of this re bellion. He appreciates treason". His sense of justice is paramount, to his tender sensi bilities. He noils a double-edged and keen edged gword, which reaches to the souther most point of Florida. Therefore I believe that God raised him up to bring this rebel lion to the consummation of just retribut'utft. It is not private revenges that he will wreak, but the vengeance of God, whose annointed minister he is. And so God has given him to the nation when the nation, needed him. And we will lift our reverent eyes to heaven to-day, and gazing through our tears, sav, "Thou doest all things well." The nation will understand ere long that the dark Providence ot last Friday niffht was a mer ciful Providence. Andrew Johnson is the Joshua whom God has a ppointed to consum mate the work which our dead Moses so no blj' commenced." Now it is rather a remarkable fact that in all the "loj-al" pulpits of tha l ;n 1 there i- to-day scarcely a -ingle pi aye:- oK'o;v.l ; in behalf of this Jo .dru:i who wx3:oLm1 th" nation to its 1 in J of promise. As soon a Andrew Johnson showed to the world that he was no blood-hound, the "lo-al'' preach ers quit praj'ing for him. They refuse to take anything in their sac-red hands which has not the smell of blood on it. What a gloriously consistent record they arc making for themselves i A Startling Exposure. It will be remembered that at the trial of the accomplices of Booth, befi jrc a military commission at Washington, on the charge of complicity with the tsassination of Pres ident Lincoln, a certain James B. Merritt was the principal witness for the Govern ment. On his testimony Mrs. Surratt was convicted and hanged, und on his testimony it was shown that Jefferson Davis, C. C. Clay,and Geo. N. Saunders were directly im plicated in the assassination. To outsiders the testimony of this man Merritt read strangely at the time of the trials. His statements did not appearreasonable. Mrs. Surratt's daughter, after the execution of her mother, pronounced them utterly false from beginning to end ; and so indignant was Clay when he lieard what this witness had said, that he voluntarily surrendered himself to the government authorities and a.-ked for a trial.. Davis and Sauuders too pronounced his testimony perjury. Indeed his entireJ story before the illegal military court had the appearance of manufactured testimony. It now appears that this villaiu's evidence was perjured from beginning to end. He has recently been before the Committee on the Judiciary, of the House of Representa tives, and hisexamination thereshowed that his testimony in the trial of the conspirators was totally void of the truth; that he really knew nothing connecting any persons with transactions not recognized by the usages of war; that his attempt, to connect Davis, Clay, Saunders, and others with the assassi nation of Lincoln w-as a pure fabrication. One very remarkable fac t was elicited in his examination wherein he admitted that the Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stantonj had paid him between five and six thousand dol lars for his services as a witness before the Military Commission which tried the conspi rators. This was the pitiful price of his in famy.Such is the testimony upon which Mrs. Surratt, Harrold, Atzeroth and Payne were hanged, and Mudd, Armld, O'Lauphlin and Spangler, were imprisoned on the Dry Tor tugas. Out of the mouth of this man, who sold his soul to Stanton and the Devil for five thousand dollars, a Republican committee are trying to establi.h the complicity of Jef rerson Davis with the assassination of Abra ham Lincoln. With Stanton to sulborn the witnesses at five thousand dollars a head there is no telling what t hey may not be able to prove. This is but a specimen of the course pur sued by this fiend Stanton to wreak his ven geance upon his jolitical foes. All over the country he organized his military Courts to convict, and then bought up the perjured witnesses who swore their victims to the scaf fold or into prison. Exchange. Death of Gen. Cass. Hon.

There are so many incorrect statements made about the tax that will be imposed on the issues of banks organized under State laws, paid out by banks on and after the 1st of July, I860, that it is important for every business man to understand the law. The Act of Congress, of March 3d, 18G5, reads thus: Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That every National Banking Association, State Bank, or State Banking. Association, shall pay a tax of ten per cent, on the amount of notes of any State Bank or State Banking Association paid out by them after the 1st day of July, 18GG. It will be noticed that the tax is imposed only on banks paying out other notes than those of National Banks, or United States legal tenders, and that in no case can the tax be imposed on individuals, merchants, bro kers or agents, (other than Banks) paying them out, or using them in their business. The circulation of the notes of State banks among individuals, is in noway interfered with by this Jaw. Holders, of these notes need not be under any apprehension of any loss by the ten per cent, tax imposed, as Banks alone are subject to that penalty for paying them out after the time specified in the law, for as some of our cotomporaries re mark, there will really be no tax at all on State bank circulation, because no one but banks are taxed for paying them out, and they will not under the penalty; Private bankers will spring up throughout the coun try, and will buy up from brokers, the bills of the State banks, and use them as circula tion for the jieople, while the iState banks will cTose up, to some extent, after providing for the redemption of thier notes when re turned to their redeeming agent. We think that the effect of this will be that le:S de posits will be made with tanks, and more with private bankers and banking officers, who are left free to recive and pay out State bank notes. Shrewd bankers see this, and already some changes have been made, or rather, banks closed (both National and State) and private banking offices opened in their places ; and doubtless many more chan ges will occur of the same kind, as very good reasons exist, for the changes, which are, that by closing the banks the' avoid heavy taxes which the States areattempting toim- Iioso on both National and State ; a.s private ankersth"y are not liable to a tax on the currency they pa out, but are left free to re ceive ami pay out State bank notes ; and now 'bat the Tanking business is less profitable t!i !-i for the punt feT years, these considera tions have weight. Petersons Ji'kNote List. Breakers Ahead ! " An old Republi can" writes the following to the Pittsburg Commercial the leading Republican paper of that city : "Will the Convention follow Stevens. Sum ner, Wade, Butler and Schurz ; or the Pres ident, Seward, Stanton, Grant and Sherman ? If the counsels of the former are to be adopted, and their principles incorporated into the party creed, it will not be very im portant who should be nominated for the. legislature or county offices. The ticket will be doomed to defeat from the day it shall be made! If the teaching and advice of the latter be received and followed, we shall have peace, union, strength and suc cess.

Since the Democrats of 2S ew Haven have carried the city election, by more than eleven hundred majority, and have obtained a tie vote in the Common Council, which, by the casting vote of the Mayor,enables them to appoint a City Judge, whose politics harmonize with the eleven hundred majority, the Republicans have dis covered that the law; which their friends passed by the last legislature, giving crimp nal jurisdiction to the Judge, is a most fla grant violation of the Constitution ; that the Judge appointed under this law of theirown making, is nothing but an usurper, and all his acts under the enlarged powers are void, and good for nothing. And yet, the law was made by two Republican lawyers, 3Iessrs. Foster and Harrison, then representing New Haven, and neither they, nor their political friends, ever intimated the slightest consti tutional objection to it, till nowT , An Extra Session of the Legis lature. D appears from the intimations had from And -e-r. Curtin that the Legislature will be called together soon to adopt or reject certain amendments to the Constitution, which were passed by two-thirds of the present Rump Congress. These amendments carry with them the curse of negro suffrage and negro equality with the whites in civil and xhtical rights. This question the disunionists dare not al low to go to the people. Tlie present Legis lature therefore must act on the matter, no difference if they -were elected at a time when no issue of the kind was before them or ever dreamed of. The disunionfsts cannot afford to let the issue come before the people this fall.- It will be at a heavy expense to the- tax payers if the Legislature is called together. But what does Curtin'care for the poor peo ple who twice ' elevated him to his present position? Nothing.

AVe thanked God for calling Lincoln into the presence and company of Democrats, as he is if in Heaven. The poor President suffered enough from bein? with Abolition ists on earth, and we thanked God for call ing him beyond their reach or influence here or hereafter. Whatever is, is right God, who rules us all, wanted Lincoln removed He made Booth His aent; no one but God is to blame for Lincoln's death. God is never to blame : we, who are Christians, should thank Him for everything ; we do so thank Him ; he who docs not thank God, is no Christian ; those who assail us are no Chris tians. We believe the country is better off now than when Lincoln was alive. We believe more in statesmanship than in nigger songs, or in humorous yarns in time of war. We believe Lincoln was a mere man of putty in the hands of traitors and thieves, known latterly .as Abolitionists. We believe God saw that he was not use ful, even if ornamental, and removed him to make room for a better man. We believe Johnson is a better man than Lincoln if he has not been, surely the Republican party would not have gone nut of the Union for a candidate for 4ie Vice.

Benjamin Ban- nan, publisher ot the Jhners Journal, m that count-, was recently indicted for libel ; the alligation bein.ir in substance that Ban nan, in his paper had made charges of gross corruption against the judicial officers of that county. Judge Elwell, of" this Judicial Dis trict, was called to Schuylkill to try the case. The jury, upon one trial, convicted the pris oner. The compliment of Gov. Curtin con sists in this : that he was convinced before hand of the guilt of Bannan, and that jus tice would be done him by a Jury of his Peers. The Governor, therefore, prepared a pardon before hand for his favorite Ban nan, and after the Jury had brought in a verdict of guilty, the pardon was produced in open Court, and Bannan walked out, to the admiration of himself and shoddy in general, and to the amazement of the lovers of justice. An excellent exemplification of the dis crimination of the '"model Governor." He knew before hand that Bannan was guilty. Com. General News Items.
