Circulation—the largest in the County
HUNT!NGDON,PA
Wednesday s Oct, 24, 1855
See New Ad vertisements.
A great sale of town lots at Broad
Top City.
Estate notice of Thomas Read, deed.
And several valuable farms, tracts of land,
&c., &c., for sale. Examine all the adver
tisements—the merchants are all ready for
customers, and so with every body adverti..
sing their business in the Globe. Patent

columns.
"Defeated but not Dismayed.g
A. full turn out of the voters in this county
at the late - election would have defeated the
Know Nothing ticket. Even the members of
the Order admit this—and they are now ma
king, and will continue to make, every effort
to strengthen their forces for the next cam
paign,-when a Sheriff is to be elected. Al
ready they have promised that office to at
least two dozen office hunters for the pur
pose of holding them in the harness and in
ducing them to work faithfully for the success
of their corrupt party. The Democracy can, if
they will, defeat them at the next contest.—
And we would recommend to every voter op
posed to the dark lantern party to subscribe
for the Globe at once, as the best means to
operate against the efforts of the Know
Nothing leaders in the townships. Look at
little Walker where "snake-feeders" have
been numerous—there we now have a larger
circulation than in any other township in the
county. Democrats, and all opposed to
Know .Nothingism, throughout the county,
go to work and increase our circulation, and
you will discover when the next campaign
commences that at least half the battle has
been fought for you.
California Election
The State election in California has result
ed in the success of the fusion candidate, J.
Neely Johnson, over. John Bigler, by about
4000 majority. The whole Democratic tick
et was successful by a large majority in San
Francisco. Bigler's majority in the city was
1,925.
o:7' We have received a letter from our
young friend W. P. Brown, of Nevada coun
ty, California. It dates back several weeks,
butas it contains some good ideas, and will
no doubt be interesting to many of his ac
quaintances in this county ; we cheerfully give
it a place in the Globe. It will be found in
another column over the signature of c , A

The Military Encampment.
The encampment at this place, last week,
was no small affair. The American Artil_
lery; with their band, of T.Mifflintown ; the
Logan Rifle, with their band, of Altoona; the
Altoona Guards; the Scott Infantry, of Hun
tingdon Furnace; the Scott . Artillery, of
Hare's Valley; the Broad Top Rangers, and
the Huntingdon Guards, as they passed our
office on 'review day, made a very creditable
display. The conduct of the soldiers, while
they remained with us, satisfied our good
citizens that they could behave as gentlemen
abroad as well as at home.

"Some of the signers •of the "Circular"
called upon the editor of the Globe last
week, and desired him to give up the paper,
which he refused - doing.—Huntingdon

Was it a dream you had Mr. editors of the
Journal—or have you determined to LIE
yourselves out of your unpleasant position.
Not a single signer of the "circular" has ever
"desired us to give up the paper." Neither
do we believe that any one of them ever sta
ted to you. that we had been called upon and
the paper demanded. Give the names of
"some of the signers" who, you say, called
upon us . . We are afraid, you are getting no
better fast—the Professor must put you

THE CANAL APPOINTMENTS.—The Board
of Canal Commissioners will hold a session
at Hdrrrisburg on the 7th of November next,
for the purpose of making appointments of
officers on the several line of Canal and Rail
road belonging the Commonwealth.
0:7 Two years since any man could make
money in California; now it is the reverse,
and the scramble for office from the first to
.the lowest is truly terrific. The Sheriff's of

fees, is worth at least $50,000 per annum,
Recorder of Mortgages $20,000, and so of
others.
INDIANA ELECTION.—we have returns

Riot and Murder in Baltimore.
At the special election held in Baltimore
on Thursday last, to fill the vacancy occa
sioned by the death of a Democratic coun
cilman, the Know Nothing rowdies 'of the
city took possession of the polls and by dri
virx,g,peaceable voters from them, succeeded
in electing their man. One man was - killed
and several badly wounded. The Baltimore
Daily Sun, says:
"The special election held in the 19th ward
on Thursday, for a member of the First
Branch of the Baltimore City Council, to full
the vacancy: created by the death of Wm.
George Baker, Esq., was warmly contested,
and gave rise to scenes of violence and dis
order which every good 'citizen must truly
deplete. The vote, notwithstanding the in
terest manifested in the result, falls short of
that polled a week ago. This is attributed
to the disturbances at the polls and in the
vicinity, as set forth in another column.—
The following is the vote :
Samuel J. Garrison, k. ri., - - - 637
William A. Hack, dem., - - - - 561
Garrison's majority, - - - - 76
At the election last week the vote stood as
follows :
Wm. George Baker s dem., - - - 671
Wm. M. Woods, k. n., - - - 608
Baker's majority, - - - - 63
The know-nothing vote, it appears, has
been increased 29 and 'that of the democrats
has fallen off 110 since last week, Thus it
appears that if the democratic vote of last
week had been polled. Mr. Hack would
have been elected by 31 votes.
The Know-Nothing majority in the ward
for mayor last fall was 302."
THE BIGLER BROTHERS
We copy this morning from the Pennsyl
vanian, an article with the above heading,
reflecting on the circumstance that the Dem
' ocratic Governors of Pennsylvania and Cali
fornia, the brothers Bigler, have successively
fallen before the vindictive fury of know noth
ingism, in its. short • lived hour of triumph.
Our own gloribus old Commonwealth was first
submerged by the flood of bigotry and intol
erance which has been sweeping over the
country, leaving bnt filthand slime to mark
its track. Like all other - floods, its course
was quickly run, and its power for evil has
here passed away forever. It bore down
many a noble spirit, who attempted to stay
its torrent, and for the time being, the bold
est and the best were prostrated by its power.
Its first eminent victim was the late Gov
erhor
of Pennsylvania, WILLIM BIGLER.—
He had refused compliance with the demands
of fanaticism—he stood forward manfully
and battled against the monster that threaten
ed the constitution and the peace of society.
The Democratic party stood up with him
in the noble struggle. In a fair, open, man
ly contest the victory would have been with
the right—with those who contended for. the
principles'of toleration. But the weapons of
the enemy were falsehood and treachery and
the unguarded Democracy were sold and be
trayed by traitors in the camp. They found
their standard bearer true under all reverses,
and when he fell it was with his face to the
foe. With Kno w-Nothingism WILLIAM BIG
LER refused all compromises. He placed,
himself on the record against it; the first ex
ecutive of any Stai",e in the Union who, in an
official message, utterly condemned and de
nounced its hideous doctrines. Whatever
might be the ultimate result, he declared his
eternal hostility to its principles and practices
beyond the power of recantation.
Having done its work speedily here and
met with a deserved overthrow soon after, it
passed to the other extreme of the Union, and
- ,.pollutes with its tread the golden soil of Cal
ifornia. Gov. John Bigler, like his brother
of Pennsylvania, would not bow the knee to
the dark spirit, and he and the best men of
that Commonwealth fall together before it.
Its course there; as here, will be short and
i shameful, and those who have been victimized
I by it will be again lifted up and sustained by
a just and grateful people.
It is characteristic of the Democratic party
to remember those who have suffered in its
behalf, and in the time 'of its power, to do
them justice. The good men and true who in
the beginning were made victims will have
no cause to regret their course. They know
that no want of merit in themselves brought
defeat; that all fell alike, the humble and the
eminent—that no character however great—
no attachments, however long or well foun
ded, could avail against the secret oath-bound
association against which they contended.
The prostration of the two brothers, Gover
nors of the Keystone and Pacific States, be
cause of their faithful devotion to the princi
ples of the Democracy will only endear them
the more to the party,. which will yet take
especial pride in showing its appreciation of
their in tegrity.—Pittsburg Union.
The Record of Know Nothing Infamy.
The Cleveland Plaindealer makes up the
record of know nothing infamy as follows:
"It has weakened in the American people
their reverence for the purity of the ballot-box,
by teaching and instigating bands of men to
violate and trample it in the dust.
"It has weakened in our .citizens the love
of republican institutions, by familiarizing
them with organization subversive of republi
can principles.
"It has poisoned society, and has diffused
distrust, suspicion, and hatred throughout
the social circle, by administering oaths bin
ding on the taker even in his social relations.
"It has arrayed one portion of our follow
citizens in deadly and lasting hostility to
the other, and has thereby planted the seeds
of future riots and bloodshed.
'•(t has checked the growth of liberty in
Europe, by putting in the mouths of its des
pots• arguments against the freedom and toler
ance of republican institution'.
"It has profaned the sacred home of relig
ion, by an appeal to the weak and miserable
prejudices of faggot-burning •fanaticism—vi
olated,in its letter and spirrit the teachings
of-the Bible, scorned the ordinary prompting
of a generous soul, the humanity and the feel
ings of mercy.
"It has taught men to think lightly of trea
son to the general government, by adminis
tering oaths to violate the constitution, by
the introduction of religious tests and the
tests of birthplace.
"It has been false to the prosperity of the
great West, by attempting to drive• from our
midst those enterprising men who have in
part built its pnblic work, tilled its fields, and
been a controlling element of its rapid and
astonishing increase in wealth and population.
"It has weakened bonds of soziety and sha
ken our government to its very foundation,
by the instigation of numerous and bloody
riots, repeated violations of the purity of the
ballot-box in Cincinnati, Louisville, and Kan
sas, the destruction of valuable preperty, the
most atrocious murders of innocent men, and
the burning in flames of weak and defenceless
women and children.
"It has struck a heavy blow at government,
religion, society, morality,. and everything
that honest men and republicans hold dear.
" Such is the brief history of that short•
lived but desperate organization—the know
nothing party. It is spurned in the bosom of
every honest man; it lives in the fears of
every mother, and every child in this land can
recount its horrors. History and tradition
will hand down to posterity its intense iniqui
ty. Its name will be Anathema. Let its
misdeeds go down to succeeding generations
in the condensed and expressive phrase, 'The
infamy of kno w -nothingism)
From the Baltimore Sun.
A DREADFUL MURDER AT CUM
BERLAND.
Murder of Dr. .T. C. Hadel and Mr. Graf,
his Student
The town of Cumberland,. Md., was .on
Monday night and Tuesday in the most in
tense excitement, occasioned by two of the
most appa!ling and unprovoked murders on
record, the whole object being, it is suppo
sed, plunder. The victims are Dr. J. F. C.
Hadel, formerly health officer of Baltimore,
but for the last three years a practising phy
sician of Cumberland, and a young man in
his office, named Henry Graeff. A German
pest r lately from Pittsburg, named Freder
ick iViiller,-has been arrested, charged with
the murder, and against whom the testimony
is so strong as to stir up- intense feeling,
against him among the outraged communi
ty.
It appears that on Monday evening the
body of young Graeff was found in the moun
tains, a short distance from town, bearing
evidence of havine , been killed by a gunshot
wound. The body was recognised and
brought to town, and, on inquiry, it was as
certained that Dr. Hadel was also missing,
and inquiry was made of his friends in Bal
timore without obtaining any information in
relation to him. In- the mean time a Ger
man pedlar was arrested on suspicion of mur
derir.g Mr. Graeff, and on searching him the
watch and chain, pocket-book, and clothing
of Dr. Nadel were found in his possession,
leaving no doubt as to his Laving met with
the same fate as his unfortunate young friend.
. The murderer was arrested at 12 o'clock
on Monday night and the greatest excitement
existed until daylight next morning, when a
large body of citizens started out to search
for the body of Dr. Hadel. The search was
continued until about 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, when the body was found in the
mountains, horribly mutilated. He had been
stripped naked, his head cut off from his
body, and stabbed, besides the mark of hav
ing been shot through the back of the neck.
The head was missing.
It appears that the German pedlar who has
been arrested on the charge of being the per
petrator of this horrible massacre is a stran
ger in Cumberland, and has been boarding at
a farmer's house by the name of Steel, near
town, for some days past. On Sunday mor
ning between 9 and 10 o'clock this stranger
and the Doctor were seen going -over the
bridge in the direction where the latter was
murdered, and Mr. and Mrs. Steel, say that
this.man called for his . anti about that hour,
and it is believed he enticed the Doctor ottt
by telling him some one was very ill, and
shot him through ths back of his neck, as his
coat, found in the possession of the supposed
murderer, had the mark of a bullet through
the collar.
After murdering the doctor it is supposed
he returned to Steel's, as the latter says that
he brought his gun back about noon, and im
mediately started towards Cumberland. He
was nest seen in the doctor's office, in Cum
berland, by a gentleman who called there to
enquire for the doctor. Young Graeff was
there with him, and on the gentleman enqui
ring for the doctor, he was told by Graeff
that he was out in the mountains, and bad
met with an accident, having fallen in the
water. It was supposed that the murderer
had told -Graeff this tale and that the doctor
had sent to him to bring him some dry
clothes. The murderer and Graeff were
seen in the afternoon going in the same di
rection—Mr. Graeff carrying a bundle with
him. Mr. Steel also says that this man, ac
companied by Mr. Graeff, came to his house,
and the man got his gun again, and they
went on up the mountain together. Two
other gentleman also say that - they passed
them together on the mountain, and five mm
utes after heard the report of a gun.
The body of Graeff was found with a gun
shot wound in the back, and he had been bea
ten over the head, it is supposed, dying in
a few moments. The accused returned the
gun and the brindle which Graeff had with
him, to Steel's again, and left them there.
Further Particulars---The Head of Dr
Elude' Found.
The search for the head of Dr. Hadel was
continued throughout Tuesday, and a party
finally found it hurried some distance from
where the body was found.
It appears that the German arrested was
seen in Dr. Hadel's office on Saturday eve
ning. When arrested there was found in his
possession the doctor's gold watch, his seal
ring with his name upon it, together with all
his clothing, books, &c. He acknowledged
the stealing the goods from his office on Sun
day night, but'denieshaving seen or murder
ed the doctor and Mr. Graeff. The supposi
tion is that, after having murdered the doc
tor, he enticed Mr. Graeff out and murdered
him also, in order that he might more easily
rob the office, as both of them usually slept
in the room over the office, Mrs. Hadel and
her children being absent on a visit to their
friends in Baltimore. The accused had in
his possession a large number of books and
valuables from the office.
" A. Mr. Dawson, who is from West Alexan
der, recognizes the prisoner as an old offen
der. He says that he was imprisoned at
that place for robbing a store, but broke jail
and made his escape to Pittsburg, where he
stole a horse, and was re-arrested and brought
back to West Alexander, and succeeded a sec
ond time in breaking, jail and making his
escape. He is , now heavily ironed, 'and eve
ry precaution will be taken to prevent his es
cape from the punishment that his bloody
work demands.
The body of Dr. Hadel was taken charge
of by the Odd Fellows and Masons, in the
absence of his family ; and sent down to Bal
timore on Tuesday in charge of Mr. Butler,
who was delegated to accompany it.
Mr. Graeff lived in Baltimore a short time,
where his mother resides.
We, also have the following letter :
CumsEn.tamp,October 16, 1855.
I assisted in arresting the rascal. at 10
o'clock last night. He was in bed sleeping
soundly, in one of the German houses. He
had with him in. his room a large dry goods
box full of the Doctor's effects, in addition to
his watch and chain, seals, rings, &c., which
he had obtained from his person. It appears
that, after murdering young Graeff, from
whose pocket, he took the key of the office,
he immediately proceeded on Sunday evening
and took possession. The Doctor occupied
the whole building for his office; and had
sleeping apartments up stairs, where he and
Graeff usually slept, especially during the ab
sence of Mrs. Nadel. He confesses that he
remained in the office all Sunday evening
and night, and up to Monday afternoon,
when the body of Graeff was found. He
even slept on Sunday night in the Doc:or's
bed, as a gentleman having called for the
Doctor at a late hour on Sunday night, was
told by a stranger from the upper window
that the Doctor was in the country, and
would not be back until the morning.
From the Carlisle Volunteer,
Lunatic Hospital, Harrisburg.
During the recent trip to Harrisburg, we
paid a visit to the Pennsylvania State Luna
tic Hospital. It was our first visit to this in
stitutian, and for the polite attention shown
us, by Dr. Jones, the present gentlemanly
Assistant Physician, we feel under many ob
ligations. We were taken into every apart
ment of the extensive buildings—the rooms
of the patients, dining-rooms, baking room,
wash-house, Library, &c. In taking a cur
sory view of the institution and its inmates,
we felt a degree of pain, mingled with plea
sure—pain at seeing so many unfortunate
fellow-beings laboring under the great and
-and distressing calamity, dethronement of
reason ; •pleasure to notice the tender care
that is bestowed upon the patients. Every
thing in and about the institution is clean
and comfortable, and no efforts are spared on
the part of its efficient officers to render the
inmates as happy as their situation will al
low. Kindness, good food, proper exercise,
and a simple course of -medicine, are some of
the means resorted to by the officers to re
store to the patients their former reason.—
Nearly every week patients are arriving at
the institution from all quarters of our State,
and numbers are being discharged, some en
tirely restored, others improved.
It is at once a novel and most distressing,
sight to look at the patients, in their apart
ments, and mark the various degrees of in
sanity with which they are afflicted. We
first entered the male apartment, and no
sooner had we set foot in it than three of the
patients approached us. One of them shook
our hand very cordially, appeared happy as a
lord, and bade us welcome to his mansion :
another (an incessant talker,) placed his cold
bony hand on our shoulder, and wanted to
draw us aside to tell us all about his troubles;
the third had a wild-devil-like appearance,
and we confess we felt a chill pass over us
-when he jerked our arm and demanded "a
_chew of tobacco." On the impulse of the
moment, we were about to grant his request
when Dr. Jones (who accompanied us,) shpok
his head, and we had to deny the poen• fellow'
his wish. Tobacco, we believe, is not allow
ed to the patients. After a little parley, we
got clear of the three patients at door.--
we proceeded on—oh, what a melancholy
sight.• Here was a poor fellow-creature on
his knees as prayer—a few feet from him
was another in the very highest state of glee
—farther on could be seen a young, intelli
gent looking man, his hands folded on his
breast, uttering the most dreadful oaths. , Be
fore his derangement he had been very pious.
Then again a large number presented the
saddest picture of melancholy—others again
looked at us with a vacant stare, and made
all sorts of ugly faces. They were idiots.
From the .male we passed to the female
apartment. Here, too, we were met at the
threshhold by a smiling little crazy girl, ap
parently not over ten years of age. She
took our hand, looked up in our_ face, and
smiled sweetly. Scarlet fever was the cause
of her derangement. She is improving rap
idly, and no doubt will be entirely restored
before long. - In the large parlor or sitting
room a numder or patients were at work,•
sewing, knitting, &c. As in , the male de
partment, various grades of insanity are at
-once noticed. The deepest distress was de
picted in the faces of most of the patients.—
Some, however, appeared cheerful, and to all
appearance, quite rational. Others, again,
were ranting and scolding. A young lady,
some 18 or 20 years of age, attracted our
attention. She was handsome, modest, and
of fine person. Her hair was braided, and
her dress becoming, and in good taste. She
had no appearance of insanity in her face or
eye, and, had we not been told we could not
have believed her a patient. When we were
about leaving the room, ,however, she corn
raenced to laugh most immoderately, and hor
eyes rolled as she passed the room in the
greatest excitement. She is an
.educated.la
dy, of highly respectable family, has impro
ved much since she has been in the hospital,
and strong hopes are entertained that she will
entirely recover. . Unregitted love was the
cause of her derangement of mind.
The institution, as we have said, is admi
rably, conducted, and -we hope to see our
State Legislature appropriate liberally to its
support. The unfortunate insane deseive
our constant:sympathy and aid. Kindness
to these poor creatures will-have its reward
here and hereafter. .
Coming Back
The People's Advocate, published at York,
which has hitherto supported the Know-
Nothing ticket, considers the recent result
conclusive, and refuses to go on. It says :
"Know Nothingistn is exploded, we fear,
and we are rather sorry for it. It seemed to
be a well contrived plan to beat down our
opponents, and for a short time it worked
most admirably. But we have now lost hope
in it, and have nothing to rely on but the old
method of appealing to the conscience and
(rood sense of the people in political matters;
and, if that method fail, we do not hope for
any permanent result from any new party ma
chianey.
NEW Ironic ELECTION.—The New York
Tribune in an article on the prospect of that
States, with reference to the approaching
election, says:
"One year ago, the Know-Nothings were
young and sanguine, with the largest possi
bilities before them. They really believed
they were destined to bound from triumph to
triumph, until 'Sam' should hang up his hat
in the White House, in March, '57. Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Georgia, Pennsylvania and Ohio have since
dispelled that illusion most effectually. *

RUSSIA

Public feeling in Russia has began to man

proprietors have lost half and even two-thirds
of their revenue from want of outlets for
their produce, and from the abstraction of
labor. The government functionaries and
the youth just from the millitary schools
alone favor the continuation of the: war.
