The Johnstown Democrat, after a brief suspension, has again made its appearance, as .large as life and twice as rabid. It is still printed by Mr. Jas F. Campbell, who, notwithstanding all former disclaimers, is extremely anxious of becoming a .''martyr" in the cause of so-called Democracy.

The present ?nap of pleasant weather has proved a de cided blessing to not a few of our towns people and farmers, in that through it they have been enabled to complete the raising of their potatoes, a job which wa3 necessarily deferred by reason of the cold weather of Eix weeks ago, lasting till now. Digging potatoes in December may sound queer, hut the thing can be done, and that, too, on the top of the Alleghanies, tut one remove from the line of perpetual enow and ice '....Among the many arrivals in town, in attendance at Court, we.notice our friend aod fellow-townsman, Hon.

Success ! ...Mr. Thos. Callan has opened an eating and drinking saloon on the southwest cor ner of the "Diamond," Ebcnsburg, where he keeps a full supply of stock incident to euch establishments, such as oysters, ale, segars, &c, &c. A Matter Demanding Attention. We understand the Penna. Railroad Company have hearkened to the prayers of the citizens of Johnstown, and ordered the Phila. Express east and west to stop at that station hereafter a thing it had failed to do since the incoming of the ex isting schedule. This suggests the remai k that it is to the interest of the citizens of Ebensburg to take measures to obtain a modification of the schedule so far as it refers to Cresson station. In the firit place, our Branch train, leaving 1iero at 4.10 .p m., ought by all means to connect with the Emigrant train west, passing Cresson at 4.55. This would require a etart of only a few minutes earlier from this depot, and would obviate the disa greeable necessity of passengers waiting three hours and a half for the next train. Then, the Phila. express cast ought to ttop at Cresson. The only 'train east Etopping at that point in the evening is the Pittsburg & Erio express, at 5.15. The Phila. express passes before our Branch train starts, but does not stop. Hence, passengers from Pittsburg, and Johnstown, and the west, are doomed to three hours and a half's weary waiting at Cresson before they can be permitted to resume their journey hither. The sched ule for the morning is an excellent one, but that for the evening, as we have en deavored to show, is exactly the reverse. The inconvenience to cur citizens arising therefrom is easy of remedy, and we have no doubt the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany would cheerfully apply that remedy H the matter were properly brought be fcrs thsm. "The Dealings op God with Our Nation." We hope our readers will not fail to read, from beginning to end, the excellent discourpo delivered by Rev. J. S. Lemmon in the Presbyterian Church, Ebensburg, on Thanksgiving day, and published on the outside and a pottion of tho inside of this paper. Its utterances on allrimportant topics are eminently truthful, brave and bold, and cannot fail to strike a responsive chord in the great heart of the people. It has been the custom of late, among certain classes, to decry the institution of Thanksgiving, and to sneeringly ask, " What have tee, as individuals or as a nation, that tee should be thankful unto God?" This discourse is especially adapted to the case of all such ungrateful, unbelieving bigots, and returns an answer to their wicked sneers and doubting3 which should carry con viction and cause them to forever droop their heads in shame. The Pittsburg Commercial. Al though only comparatively a new publi cation, this journal ha3 been conducted from the beginning with so much genius, ability and vigor, and with such eminent regard for the public requirement, that it now ranks as the very first daily in West ern Pennsylvania. We take it,' and are free to say we couldn't well get along without it. To those of our readers who are thinking of subscribing for a daily, and who - desir j to subscribe for a live daily, we recommend the Commercial, confident that it will give full and entire satisfaction. See prospectus in another column. Soldier Shot. A few days since, while two soldiers were riding on horse back in the vicinity of Hoppel's Mill, Carroll township, this county, they were fired upon by some person in ambush, and one of them wounded in the ancle by a bullet. The motive for this unprovoked outrage is not known, but it is most likely to be found in the deeply-rooted feeling of antipathy entertained by a large number of residents of that section, deserters from the United Stales' Bervide, to the Union blue and to all those wearing it. No ar rests have been made.' Tde "Sunday Law."

A number yet remain, however; which ate daily growing worse instead of better. These ouirht to be attended to forthwith. Court. Court met on Monday, at 2 o'clock, p. m.

MAN DROWNED AUCTIONEER APPOINTED CON CERNING THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH A CON CERT, &C, &C. . Joiinstown, Dec. 4, 1864. Correspondence of The Allegbanian. A man named Patrick M'Carthy was drowned in the Conemaugh ii7er, opposite the Rolling Mill, on Sunday Tiight last. His fate was not discovered until Wednes day, and Unavailing search had been made for him until that day, when his lifeless Dody was observed floating in the Slack water, a few miles below town. Deceased was employed in the Iron Works, but had been ou a spree for several days. He leaves a wife and family. ' John W. Wehn, 'merchant, has been appointed by Gov. Curtin auctioneer in this place. Mr. Wehn intends opening a room in the Jordan Marbourg property, and will do a general auction business in real estate, dry goods, household goods, &c, every Monday, Friday and Saturday. " The sum of $50 was raised for the U. S. Christian Commission, in the Presbyte rian church ou Thanksgiving day. , Rev. Agnew, pastor, delivered a very eloquent and patriotic sermon, suitable for the oc casion, then and there. By tequcst of a number of his congregation, it is published in full in the Tribune of last week. : A vocal and instrumental concert camo off here on Thursday evening of last week. It was a brilliant and decided success, and reflects great credit upon the musical talent of the gentlemen under whose auspices it was gWen, namely, the Messrs. Herrington, Rev.

Correspondence of The Alleghanian. . Since my last letter, we have been on the move. Oq Thursday, we were prom ised turkey, or chicken, or both, and ap ples, wherewith to make an old style Thanksgiving dinner. Barrels full of apples, boxes full of turkey?, other boxes full of chicken, were in store for our oft promised Thanksgiving dinner. Lo, Thanksgiving came and with it Thanks giving dinner, think you ? Never I What did come ? Why, an order to march to the Army of the Potomac and report to Maj.-Gen 3Ieade. And just about the time we should have been en joying our turkey, &c, we commenced to tramp through Virginia mud. On Fri day, we reached our destination, some two miles west or south-west of the Weldon Railroad. How long we m?y stay here it is hard to tell. We are assigned to the 9th corps, permanently 1 understand, but of this I cannot be certain. Nor can I give you the division, though it is proba ble that we will form part of the third division, to be composed entirely of the new Pennsylvania regiments Everything is quiet here ; not even so much as picket firing disturbs the stillness.

On assuming control of The Commercial, at the commencement of the year, the pres ent conductors announced their determination to infuse a new life and vigor into its col umns which should render tho paper more than ever acceptable to the reader. The rapid increase in circulation, flattering notices of our cotcmporaries, and congratulatory letters Irom every quarter, assure us that our eflbrts have not been unsuccessful. The Commercial has grown daily in pub lic favor until it now ranks among the lead ing journals in the country. . In order to keep pace with the demands of the reading public, and at the same time meet the increasing pressure on our advertising columns, we 6ome months since increased the dimensions of ihc paper to the extent of four columns; Amorig the leading features nre full and reliable TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS from all the leading points of interest. It devotes special attention to MARKET REPORTS, in cluding the tron, Oil, Cattle, Lumber, Tobac co, and the Pittsburg General Markets. Our RIVER NEWS receives particular attention, and in this department The Commercial has no rival. The FINANCIAL AND STOCK REPORTS are prepared with care; and will be found to be unusually full and reliable.: Also, ihe REPORTS OF THE LEADING MARKETS OF THE COUNTRY, embracing reports of the Dry Goods and Wholesale Mar kets, and special reports of Oil, Stock, Finance and Trade, from day to day. Wlil!e special attention will be given to these several departments. The Commercial lays claim to rank among the leading journals of the conntrt as a medium of GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Its aim is to give none but health reading, suited to the Family Cir cle, and to be a welcome visitor to the dis criminating public. THE PULPIT forms a peculiar feature of The Commercial. By giving every Saturday an Original Sermon, prepared expressly by a Minister of the Gospel, in Pittsburg or vicin ity, (which, also, goes into the weekly,) fifty two discourses ate given in the year, by not less than twenty or thirty different Ministers, without regard to denominational distinction. This Department of The Commercial has attracted much attention ; and arrangements are being made to increase it3 recognized importance and value. As a feature t once novel and instuctive, it constitutes not the least of the many claims of The Commercial to patronage. . In polities TnE Commercial will be an un deviating supporter of the Union, and ear nestly loyal to the Government, and, as far as consistent with this aim, free from Partizan ship. The Commercial is a large folio sheet, and is published in two editions every morning, Sunday excepted.
