"We find a succinct report of his effort in the Hun tingdon Monitor, (Dem.,) which we trans fer to our columns. Thus : "R. L. Johnston, Esq., took the stand amid ouch enthusiasm. Of course. - ' "He said that as he expected to speak to them in the evening, he would only detain them with a very few remarks. Which was very considerate. "He cpmplained of Lincoln's inability to prosecute the war to a successful termina tion, Time is indispensably necessary to that end. Decisive victory, unlike a mush room, is not the growth of a single night. " It was seven years before signal success crowned our arms in the Revolution. Wait: "that he had blundered along blind through more than three years of war and blood, and that when he would again open his eyes he would find that he was farther from-the end than when he started.' The epeaker hadn't then heard of Sher man and Atlanta and Sheridan and the Shenandoah Valley. "He reviewed Jl'CIellan's military record, Which, in one sense, wasn't a very hard job, and in another sense was an extreme ly hard job : "read extracts from his instructions to his subordinates commanding the different de partments, Did he read extracts lrom Oen.M'C.'a letter of instruction to his superior ofiicer, the President, wherein he egotistically and immidont.lv nt.t.PTrmtfd in Aiotntn flip policy of the Government touching sla very and other questions 1 "repeatedly reminding them to bear in view that the only object of the war was the res toratiba of the Union, And the aggrandizement of George 13.

"and to impress upon the citizens of the rebel territory through which they should Jiass with respect for the Constitution and laws, This was the kid glove theory of put ting down the rebellion. The kid glove theory was followed by the Government for a year and a half. Grand res alt transfer of hostilities from Virginia to Maryland in 18C2 : "cautioning them against vexatious mili tary arrests, When Gen.

As a fitting finale to this piece of copperhead pleasantry, the Huntingdon Journal & American asserts challenging denial, that when the meeting closed, three cheers were proposed for Jeff.

Stroheoker,of Chess Springs, was engaged notifying" the drafted men of Clearfield township, this county, to report for examination at Pro vost Marshal headquarters, his horss was shot from under him by some miscreant unknown. Tho time was after nightfall. and the place a dark woods, and it is not certain that the bullet that "killed the horse was not intended for the Doctor. This act is most criminal and outrageous. Many people may be, and no doubt are bitterly opposed, to the system of conscrip tion, but that system under the present condition of affairs is necessary and a lava, and no one can resist ito enforcement without rendering himself amenable to veij severe penalties. Especially ia it most senseless in him who is opposed to the system to manifest his disapprobation of the same by assaulting a mere executor of the law. Better assault the law makers, or Gen. George B. M'Clellan, who has the Luuor of first suscresting the draft as a measure necessary to the filling up of our; armies. This outbreak is the legitimate result of the teachings of such papers as the Dem. & Sent, and Johnstown Demo crat. It were wise in these to call off their dogs, for nothing has ever been gained and nothing will be gained in an attempt of illy advised men to measure mere physi cian strength with the Government. i The Draft for Jackson Tp.

A bow, to all ppearance an ordinary rainbow, arched over the town in all its splendor: That which makes it remarkable is that the sun was not then shining, and the bow extend ed in a directiou from due east to west.

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. SAD" ACCIDENTS A J0H2JST0WH WOMAN AKD HTtt FOrm CHILDREN . BURNED Vt IN THE LATE RAILROAD CASUALTY DEDICATIOH Of THE SEW CATHOLIO CHT7BCU, AC, AC. Correspondence of The Alleghanian. Johnstown, September 25, 1864. A sad accident occurred last week to a son of Rev. A. C. Ahrenfeldts, of this place. He was engaged in oiling the machinery connected with the rolls, at the" Mill, and lying down in the vicinity of the fly-wheel to oil a journal, his legs were caught in the monster wheel, and one of them crushed in such a manner as to necessitate amputation at the knee. Hopes are entertained of his recovery. - A man named Rively was killed by a freight traia-about three miles cast of this place last week. He had gone back to flag an approaching train, and sitting down on the track'was overcome by sleep. Ihe next tram ran over him. This brakeman had worked out his notice" to qut, and was running his last trip, when ne lost his life. Another brakeman named Luther, from Carroll township, this oounty, was. killed at the east end of the tunnel, while making his first trip. The accident was caused by a couple of stock cars running off the track, by which a --.ic trcic iau JLiimu. It has been ascertained in. r lan, of this place, and her Jour children, were consumed in the terrible accident which occurred at .Thompsnntown a few days since. : She was on her. way cast to rejoin her husband, who had left here oouo fimft Rincf. It. was a most heart sickecing occurrence. To-day the new Catholic church was dedicated, and it was the occasion of one of . the most imposing ceremonies ever witnessed in our city. Bishop Domeneo, of Pittsburg, assisted bv nine Priests, dedicated the building to the service of Almighty God, after which the grand and solemn Pontifical High Mass was celebra ted. The music was under the leadership of Miss Maguire, assisted by the Misses Crouse, and was most admirably rendered. Rev. Pollard, formerly of Loretto, this county, preached the dedication sermon, and tho Right Rev. Bishop preached at Vespers. Fully 2,000 persons witnessed the interesting ceremonies. Universal praise is awarded to the designers and builders of this noble edifice. It will be an oraament not ouly to4 the growing prosperity of our town, but also to the religious spirit of the congregation. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Rev. P. M. Oarvey, pastor, and Messrs. Easly, and Crouse, contractors, for the interest they have manifested in pushing forward the work to an early completion. Two brave soldiers" belonging to the 12th Cavalry, who wero shot at Charles- town, Va., in a recent cavalry charge, and supposed to be killed, have failed to heretofore receive a notice. Alexander Long, formerly a clerk in the company's store of this place, was shot in the head, and was sent to a hospital,.. but has not since been heard of. It is thought he died on the road, and was buried in an unknown grave. He was kuown here as a brave, generous young man, and his loss will be felt by his many friends. Sergt. Cramer was at the same time shot through the bowels, and as the wound was mortal, it is generally believed by his regiment that he is now no more. Brave boys! they bhould not go down to their honored graves unknown. Buy a New Cloak ! Anions: the new goods just received by James M. Thomp son, at his Cheap Store, P.
