TIIURSDAY:::::::::::::::::::OCTOBER 17.
Tlie Titties.
Everybody is complaining of the dull
ness of the times. The merchant says
trade has fallen off ; the farmer is wanting
higher prices for his produce ; the landlord
complains sorely about low rents, and
everything looks blue. The ordinary
operations of business have been to a very
serious extent, interrupted, and the Bkill
and industry of a large portion of our
people rendered utterly valueless. Grim
visaged war is upon the country, and for
some months past we have been enduring
the many privations, inconveniences and
annoyances incident to that unfortunate
condition. Times are dull.
And yet wo are in the very festival of
exaggeration and excitement. Every
breeze that comes to us from the South is
tainted with saltpetre and sulphur. The
sensation press abounds in pictures, many
of which are so vivid and life-like, that as
we study them we may almost fancy that
we behold the "embattled hosts" on sea
and land, with all the "pride, pomp, and
circumstance," and "dread realities" of
war.
Our beloved country is now groaning
under the troubles which designing men
have brought upon her. , "When Abraham
Lincoln assumed control of the federal
government, on the 4th of March last, he
found a portion of the people in a state of
rebellion. The attempt had been made
to establish a hostile Confederacy composed
of Southern states, and so bold had the
leaders in this treasonable movement be
come, that they had already insulted the
American flag with impunit', and were
rejoicing in the humiliation they had
brought upon the federal government.
By many the President was strongly de
nounced for not at once invoking the
strong arm of military power to put down
this state of affairs ; but he manifested a
disposition rather to allow passion to cool
and reason to resume its sway, in order
that the trouble might be settled without
a resort to arms. No man will pretend
that his Administration initiated any
harsh measures, for it is universally known,
that, up to the time the call for troops
was made, both friends and foes were cry
ing out against its inactivity, and sneer
ing at its supposed indecision. It only
asked of the rebellious men who had
assumed an attitude of hostility, that in a
peaceful way it might be allowed to fur
nish to its beleaguered troops such things
as were necessary to their comfort and
sustenance.
But it is manifest that the leaders of
the Secession movement feared this peace
ful pol:cy. They deprecated delay, and
did not desire to trust to the results of
Bober reflection on the part of the people
They answered the mild demands of the
administration by the cowardly and bruta
assault upon our brave garrison at Fort
Sumter. There was then but one course
to bo pursued to preserve the Nationa
honor, and to compel respect to the Na
tional emblem ; and that was to exhibit
the power of the Union in so unmistaka
-1 - - - X -
me a manner as 10 coi.vince everv one.
however reckless and unpatriotic, that it
is madness and even death and destruction
to attempt its overthrow. The position of
tilings at the present time is such, that
the rash men who have provoked the con
flict, can only hope to escape from it by
the humiliation of the general govern
ment. It is difficult, nay, impossible to predict
the end of the movement which has leen
undertaken to preserve our glorious
Union, and to sustain the honor of the Fed
eral government. Blood has already beeu
freely spilled, and treasure has been as
freely given : and we have witnessed with
more pain than pleasure, those necessary
warlike operations which destroy property
aud devastate fertile lands. But, however
nd and revolting this may be, we believe
that the loyal men of all parties regard it
as unavoidable, and right under the cir
cumstances, aud therefore yield it their
cordial approval. We firmly believe they
endorse the policy of the administration,
aud would not be satisfied with any other.
The 6upouse iu which the Bisunijnuts
of the South have so long kept the people
has become intolerable, and they wish
now to know whether we have a govern
ment or not. Even those who most dread
the result of a mortal conflict yet desire
to know the worst that may befall us.
It is not an easy matter to please every
body j and if the present Administration
should succeed in doing it, it will do what
has never been dono before. Impartial
history will, no doubt, do it "tardy jus
tice," for it is only when the passion of
the hour has passed, that its acts and pur
poses can bo fairly criticised. But we
have an abiding faith m the principles cf
government upon which our Republic is
founded ; and to suppose that the people
will fail to sustain the Administration in
just and honorable measures to preserve
it, would be to doubt the existence of vir
tue, intelligence and patriotism in the
land. However much, therefore, we may
desire a return of the "piping times of
peace," we should make up our minds to
await the result with patience, ever remem
bering that
Thrice is he armed who hath his quarrel just ;
And he but naked, though locked up in steel,
W hose conscience with injustice is corrupted."
The Iate Election.
After taking a careful survey of the
battle-ground of "the second Tuesdav of
October," and duly noting the killed,
wouuded and missing on our side, we have
come to the conclusion, that, although we
have been pretty badly licked in Cambria
county, yet the Locos have not so much
to crow over after all. A comparison of
the vote of last year with that of the pres
ent, exhibits some strange, not to say
funny results. Let us, then, look for a
moment at the figures the reader bearing
in mind, that throughout this article, the
Loco-Foco candidates are marked in italics,
and that our calculations are based only
on the vote actually polled in the county :
Last year, the vote for Governor was
foster, Curtin, 2177. The vote
this year, for Assembly is : Pershing, 2369;
Kopelin, 1235. Now, if we compare these
two votes, and we regard them as fur
nishing a fair test, we find that Foster's
vote exceeds Pershing's on!y 214, while
Curtin's vote exceeds Kopelin's 942 !
Again : If we compare the vote cast for
Sheriff this year, with the vote for Con
gress of last year, we shall have a similar
result. Thus: For Congress, Jl'Allister
had 2452 votes, aud Blair had 22G3. For
Sheriff, Buck had 2242 votes, and Ham
ilton has 1339. . The result is, that while
M'AUister's vote exceeds Buck's only 210,
Blair's vote exceeds Hamilton's 924 !
Again : -Lies us institute a comparison
between the average vote thrown last year
for Commissioner, Poor House Director
and Auditor, and the average vote thrown
for the same offices this year. Thus : Last
year, for Commissioner, Ferguson (Doug
las) and Gill (Breckinridge) together had
2310 votes; for Poor House Director,
Uoppel had 2151 ; and for Auditor," Chris
ty (Douglas) and Stalb (Breckinridge)
together had 2359 votes. This would make
the average Loco-Foco vote for these offices
22 i 3. At the same election, for Commis
sioner, Cooper had 2302 votes ; for Poor
House Director, Douglas had 23G1 ; and
tor Auditor, Nelson had 2181 votes. Tloe
average. Rqmblica7i vote would then he 2281
At the recent election for Commission
er, Little had 2082 votes, and Conrad had
1452; fcr Poor HousecDirector, Ddany
had 2108 votes, and Lloyd 1358; and for
Auditor, Donnvgan had 2184 votes, and
Evans, 1331. This gives an average Loco
Foco vote of 2125 ; and an average Repub
lican vote of o0. We thus find that the
difference between the Loco-Foco vote o
last year and this, for these three offices, is
only 148; whilst the difference between the
Republican votes, for the same periods
and for the same offices, is 901 !
Now, what do these figures prove ?-
They prove, firtt, that the vote of last
year exceeds the vote of this year, by a
fraction over 1100; and, secondly, that
thin deficiency is almost wholly upon the
Republican side. In other words, if the
Republican vote had been out, as it was
last year, James Conrad and Bees S. Lloyd
would have been elected by very respecta
ble majorities, and it is altogether proba
Lie that .Major Hamilton and John II.
Eva ns would have shared the same fate.
Let any candid man, whatever his politics
may be, examine the figures for himself,
and ho will see that our conclusions are
well-fbuuded.
5. The traitor, lireckinridgc, has, it
appears, succeeded iu making pood his es
cape out of Kentucky, and has turned up
at Abiugton, Va. It is stated that he in
tends to resign his seat iu the United
States Senate, and issue an address to the
jeopla of Kentucky oa the occasion.
How fa it 1
"It 13 the Democrats who do the volun
teering and fighting in the present war.
The Republicans remain snugly at home."
So saya the Democrat & Sentinel of last
week.
Our neighbor has been harping alter
this fashion for some time past, but as the
community in which his paper circulates
are pretty well acquainted with his
grat failing, we have never thought it
worth while to contradict him. In any
thing we may now say upon the subject,
we certainly have no disposition to detract
from the patriotism of Democrats; our
only desire is to resent the stupid insult
which has been offered to those brave
Republicans of Cambria, who have so
nobly volunteered in defence of their
country, in the time of its greatest peril.
If Cambria be the great "Democratic
County" which our neighbor would have
us believe, she ought, according to
his own logic, to send more Democrats
than Republicans to the present War.
But has she done so ? We think not.
It is admitted on all hands, that the vote
of last fall was as near being full as might
be. We have shown elsewhere that the
Loco-Foco vote of this year is almost as
large as it was last year, whilst the Repub
lican vote falls off more than 900 ! What
has become of these 900 Republicans ?
Is it not a fair presumption that the great
bulk of them have donned their armour
and gone forth to battle ?
Look, too, at the returns from the
several camps. We find that Kopelin
beats Pershing 10 votes for Assembly ; and
Hamilton beats Buck 17 votes for Sheriff.
We are aware that the voting for the oth
er offices does not exhibit precisely the
same result; but we maintain that the
two offices named Assembly and Sheriff
afford the best criterion of party politics
iu the premises.
And yet our neighbor ignores these
facts and figures, and says, forsooth, that
it - T i J ' -11 ll,. filitinr
me iemucrau arts uuiug un un- uuuuq,
while "the Republicans remain snugly at
home." We cannot admire that system
of morals which prompts him thus to rob
Peter for the purpose of paying Paul.
We honor the gallant Democrats who
have gone to do battle in defence of the
Constitution and the Union ; and we pity
the bigoted partisan who cannot say as
much for the noble Republicans who
have enlisted in the same glorious cause.
The Rumored Capture of New Or
leans. We have heard vague rumors
for several days that New Orleans has
been occupied by the rederal tfoops.
Intelligence was received in this city last
eveuing, by way of Nashville, which leads
us to believe that the rumor has its found
ation in fact. One report, in which we
place confidence, says that the Federal
forces took possession of the city on the
5th inst., without firing a gun. It is said
that the fleet after the desertion of Ship
Island passed Misssissippi city, Biloxi,
and Pass Christian, which were evacuated,
and made an easy conquest of the city.
It was found that the incomplete fortifica
tions at Lay St. Louis had been aban
doned by the rebels, and the city surren
dered on the 5th inst., in compliance with
the formal demand of the commander of
the Federal forces.
The above statement is the substance
of a despatch said to have been published
in the Nashville papers of the Cth inst.
Loui&ville Journal, Oct. 9.-
Visits to Volunteers in the Army.
For the information of many persons
who come, at a great sacrifice of time,
money and personal comfort,.to Washing
ton, for the purpose of visiting their rela
tives in the army on the Virginia side of
the Potomac, it is proper to state that, as
Gen. McClellan considers euch visits in
consistent with the good of the soldiers,
as well as prejudicial to the success of the
army generally, he has, by positive orders,
refused passes.
The constant communication of families
with their brothers, husbands and sons, is
prevented by the refusal, which in many
instances is the occasion of much painful
embarrassment to the officer in charge, as
well as to those who, after reaching Wash
ington, are without the means of providing
lor their comforts. Many visit the city
merely through curiosity; but they incur
needless expense, as it cannot be gratified.
No passed are granted, excepting in ex
treme cases, where it is positively neces
sary.
The New York Tribune, of Friday
says : "We print this morning, from a
source that appears entirely trustworthy, a
statement of the number killed and wound
ed at Bull Run. From this we learn that
they had six hundred killed and three
thousand wounded. At twelve M. on the
day of the battle, the rebels had made all
their preparations for a retreat. We have
also a distiuct statement that they did
actually fire into the windows of a build
ing used a a hospital ; this, too, in spite
of intelligible signals made to them by the
surgeons.

THE NEWS 0FTHE WEEK.
Reported Fight at Santa Rosa
Island.
Baltimore, Oct 12. The Norfolk
Lay Look, received this morning, con
tains a dispatch from New Orleans, giving
an account of a surprise and attack made
on Wilson's Zouaves, at Santa Rosa Island
on the 18th inst. Detachments from
several Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama
regiments landed iu the night, drove in
the pickets, and had a fierce battle. The
Zouaves are credited with having fought
with great braery, and the rebels admit
of a loss ot forty killed and double that
number wounded. Thev claim to have
spiked the guns of. the Zouaves and
destroyed all their camp equipage. They
also claim to have committed great
slaughter among the Zouaves, but gave
no numbers of the killed. They also car
ried off several prisoners.
Gen. 31'Call'H Division Shows Its
Teeth.
Washington, Oct. 12. During to-day
the rebels advanced in large force in the
direction of Prospect Hill, driving ia our
pickets to that point. The result was
that the division of Gen. 31'Call was soon
formed into line of battle, with orders to
advance. It was supported by cavalry
and artillery. Several shots were fired by
the rebel batteries, but being out of range
no injury was sustained by our troops.
The divisious of Gens. Smith, Porter
and M'Dowell were also soon prepared for
any apprehended emergency, but nothing
farther, in addition to what 13 already
stated, occurred to induce an adverse hos
tile movement.
Important from Kentucky.
Cincinnati, Oct. 11. A special dis
patch to the Commercial from Indianapo
lis, says : "The news from Kcutucky is
very encouraging. Our forces are con
stantly increasing and the rebels becoming
discouraged. Many of Duckner's men
were without arms aud shoes and only a
few are uniformed. TI13 enlisting for the
United States service is progressing rap
idly and Kentuckians are coming up to
the work manfully. Col. Hawkins' Ken
tucky regiment has occupied Owensboro,
aud Judge Williams is rapidly filling up
a regiment in the first district, formerly a
secession hotbed.
The Commercial 's Flemingsburg, Ky.,
correspondent says a messenger from Hills
boro has arrived stating that a company
of rebels, three hundred strong, under
command of Capt. Holliday, ot Naples
county, were advancing on Hillsboro for
the purpose of burning the place aud at
tacking Flemingsburg. Lieut. Sadler and
Sergeaut Dubley were dispatched with 50
home guards to intercept them. The en
emy was found two miles beyond Hillsboro
encamped iu a barn. Our men opened
fire ou them, causing them to fly in all
directious. The engagement lasted about
tweuty minutes, in whi-;h the enemy lost
11 killed, 29 wounded, and 22 prisoners.
We captured 127 Enfield rifles, a large
number ot sabres, pistols, bowie knives
aud cavalry accoutrements. Our loss was
3 killed and 2 wounded,
lie lie 1 Defeat in Western Vir
ginia. Cincinnati, October 13 Yesterday
afternoon, at a point 14 miles south of
Gen. Rosccrans advance, and 8 miles from
the rebel encampment on Green river, a
detachment of 40 men of the 39th Indi
ana regiment attacked 300 rebels, half of
which were cavalry, without loss, killing
five and wounding three. The whole
rebel force was driven beyond Bacon
creek.
Bc-k- A Leavenworth paper pays it has
information to the effect that one hundred
slaves leave Missouri every day for Kan
sas. At this rate, should this rebellion
hold on a year or so, it will need no eman
cipation proclamation to make Missouri a
free State. In fact, her "manifest destiny"
ia already clearly foreshadowed. So much
for secession in Missouri.

To all others, be it known that the most
astonishing vein of oil yet out was tapped
on Tuesday week, on the M'Ellany farm,
about twenty rods below the celebrated
well of Captain Funk, at a depth of 45'
feet. When we saw it on Thursday even
ing, it was pouring forth a coctinnoM
stream of oil, wonderfal to behold, which
it had done without interruption frotath
hour it was struck differing from mosS
others, which take time to rest occasitiii
ally. How much it had flowed up laths
time we visited it, cannot be exactly ascer
tained, as the owners were Dct prepared
to secure it at first, and even when to
were there it could not be mastered. T
give the reader, some idea, however, of
its yield, we would say, that a watch iu

in fifty-five minutes. At a fair estimate,
taking this as a data, those who r
working and watching about it are confi
dent that in the first twenty-four hour
it flowed two thousand four hundred
barrels of oil ! And when we left on Fri
day morning there appeared to be fot
little diminution. What is also rersarlti
ble is the fact, that as above stated, this
well is located not more than twenty rods
from the Funk well, which has been fil
ing some four months, a iid has yielded w
almost incredible quantity of the grea.7
fluid. It would have been supposed U
the latter had drained all the oil for i
considerable distance around, but thereB
one still more prolific within twenty rods.
These oil wells are certainly among the
wonders of the world.
