FOR GOVERNOR,
Gen. JOHN W: GEARY,
OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
A Petty Dodge
At a fair, for the benefit of the Presby
terian church in Mechanicsburg held last
week, . some enterprizing individual with
more zeal than good taste put up a cheap
painting of Washington to be voted for
by the respective friends of Gen. GEARY
and lIEISTER CLYMER. Many members of
the congregation interested in the fair, with
most of the good people of Mechanicsburg
condemned the introduction of this politi
cal venture into a church festival and there
was a general agreement than any contest
should be frowned down. Thus the matter
stood, not a hundred votes being polled on
both sides until the evening of the last day
of the fair, when it was discovered that the
Clymer managers, secretly, of course, and
in utter violation of the most solemn assu
rances to the contrary, had convassed the
county from Shippensburg to the riVer,
begging money to buy votes enough to se
cure the picture for Clymer, and thus
manufacture a little of the available capital
so sorely needed by that party. The result
was after the most unprecedented efforts in
the beg, borrow or steal line, a majority of
944 in a poll of nearly 4000 votes. Of
course the victory is trumpeted in the
Volunteer as a mammoth gun for Clymer from
Geary's own county, and of course it prove
beyond cavil that the former will be elected
in October by several million 4 majority.
In what sad straits a party must be when
such a petty contemptible trick must be
resorted to stay its tumbling fortunes.
The point attempted to be made from this
vote is that a majority of the people of
Mechanicsburg aro in favor of Clymer's
election ; while everybody who ever heard
of an election in this county knows that
Clymer is just about as likely to get a ma-
twentieth of the votes of the honorably dis
charged soldiers of this c. - innty or State.
The Volunteer and its party are entirely
welcome to any comfort or capital to be
made from any such disreputable swindles.
We are twitted in this week's Vet/miter
with having apologized to the " Democratic
soldiers of this County," and are warned if
something more satisqictury is not offered
we must " take the Conger' en ees." The
same paper further says " they want un
quibbling and will have none.-
We will endeavor to be concise and ex
plicit: We have no word to retract or ex
plain in regard to the so-called soldiers' con
vention whose representatives were refused
admissi-m to the Pittsburg Convention.
That some gallant and honorably discharged
soldiers were present at and took part in the
proceedings of the gathering, we never
pretended to deny, an:l that Cumberland
County does contain some such ram axis as
a Clymer soldier we freely admit, but that
the plan we alluded was adoptßl to secure
the attendance of the majority of that meet
ing is a fact beyond dispute.
As to the threats contained in this Vann
teer's article we can think of nothing to
which they refer other than the attempts to
burn our office. If "we are correct in this
surmise we can say to
, the rob/nicer and
those for whom it speaks, that we were sur
prised then but are prepared now, and that
the miscreant who tries his hand at arson in
this locality again will most likely receivri
hasty introduction to an artic'e he has been
wont to fight uncommonly shy of during
the last five years. Are we understood?
The rebel leaders all over the country aro
beginning to talk about our government, our
country, and the greatness and imperishable
glory of the Union. No• title of praise is too
fulsome to bestow upon our institutions—no
greater patriots aro there in the land than
they. But while they utter these fine sound
ing epithets of attachment to the Union, in
their hearts rankles and bubbles, in perpet
ual unrest, the gall of bitterness against this
same Union they effect to love. They love
it like a crocodile loves the object upon
which it expects to satisfy its ravenous appe
tite, they love it as the lion loves his prey,
when crouched to make the fatal bound ;
they love it as the jackal loves the antelope,
following its trail over hill and valley ; in
short, they love it as the wolf loves the
lamb, and es the Devil lives holy water.
Trust them not, Union men, for if you do
you place your confidence on a, broken reed.
YOu tread upon the smouldering crater of a
political volcano, whose fires will sooner or
later burst out and involve you in inevita
ble ruin and desolation.
Since Connecticut elected a Radical Gov
ernor and a Radial Senator in the very
teeth of President Johnson's policy, it has,
evidently, struck the high road to political
prosperity. At the charter election laSt
week, in the city of Waterbury, a Demo
cratic stronghold, the Radical candidate for
Mayor was elected by a majority of nearly
three hundred over his opponent. Last
spring, the city went two hundred and Ilf
tom. for the Democratic ticket. There were
probably some local causes affecting tho re
sult, but the gain is significant, purely on
political considerations.
MERE IS A STRANO SIAIILAIIITY in the
present anxieties and sympathies of the Pres
ident and the Democratic leaders. The lat
ter are anxious to got that wing of their pai
ty which fled to Canada, to escape the per,
formance of a justly owed service to the Gov'-
ornment, back again in time • to Viite at the
October election, while the former is doing
all he can to enable the ruling class in Can
ada to escape the doom which the judgment
of all righteous men considers itque. The
aristocracy of -England,.who have been ig
noring : the-rights of inan!for • more than- a
century; have no hotter friend than Andremi,
Johnson.' •
Onor.urm. BirLuri.S.'—'rho New York
journals complain of the arrival in that city
of numbers of snail treen:a4lee, Prema
turely picked, which are Bold along the
streets' and 'eagerly' devoured by children.
These apples would be quite as bad as leaden
bullota when taken into the stomach; and

A ItEMINISOENCE.
In the month of February, 1861, says the
Johnstown Tribune, when tho Mtitterings of
the coming civil strife were borne to the
North upon every Southern breeze, and two
months before the bursting of the' war cloud
at Sumter, the writer of this not John W.
Cleary, then a farmer of Westmoreland
county, at Fbensburgand had thop ]ensure
of spending. an evening in his room. In
the course ().f a long conversation, the ap
proaching war was mentioned. We shall
never forget the earnestness with which Col.
Geary, then a Douglas Democrat, spoke
of that most anxidus and exciting subject.
He said that Abraham Lincoln had been
'fairly elected to the highest office in the gift
of the people ; that the South had no cause
for attempting to dissolvrtho Union ; and
that, if all efforts at conciliation should fail,
ho would take his boy and enter the military
service of his country, in defense of the Un
ion, the Constitution and the Laws. How
well he kept his word all his countrymen
know. His bravo boy fell in the SOuthwcst,
pierced by a rebel bullet, and John W.
Geary himself bears upon his person to clay
the scars of a severe wound received on one
of the hardest fought battle-fields of Virgin
ia. How much his example aided in rally
ing the Democratic party of 1861 around ill .,
nld flag needs not to be told. The country
can never honer too much those prominent
leaders of the old Democratic party—the
Butlers, the Logan:, the Genrys—who, in
the darkest hour of our country's history,
threw the weight of their example amitheir
influence into the scale in behalf of the no
blest cause that ever enlisted the hearts and
valor of men.
A year ago, when the Southern people
first discovered that they were thoroughly
whipped rebels, they were apparently thank
ful lor very Sinai' favors. 'The appointment
of Provisional Governors and the calling of
State Conventions seemed to them generous
indulgences. Since then, iii' wever, they
have undergone an entire change of opin
ion, if we !nay judge from the papers which
claim to represent their sentiments. The
An g u,th, thk., cmistiititimmust, is very an
gry that a new convention recently met in
North Carolina, and thinks the time has
come to that sort of thing. • It says the
Iteconstruetion Conventions never had any
other purpose than that of a formal and
legislative dirt eating. But the journal is
not satisfied with merely objecting to the
policy of having a convention It is egliany
dis;4iisted with the manner in which it was
conducted. Go , . Worth, in hi; address be

For this the Georgia editor

The Governor'. use of the word
was also deciedly improper. It is a term we
arc informed, that positively stinks in the
nostrils of every man in this country, not
at heart tainted \VIII; servility." There Cllll
be 1111wens,' far !- , I1(!b depravity of statement
in the opinion of the Constitutionalist, and
it closes its protest and intensities its
nation in the following severely solemn
words:
As ungracious—Ull --”lrensive
and wholly without justification we protest
against it, though occurring in another
State, and shall deem it a solemn duty here
after to take up a light testimony iigninqt
/Any other SOU thUrll (luce•nor, who Shill I

they have never been guilty—or

Co no !nun or 111011, per-ton or party, pulley
or polity on the face of the broad green
earth.
A Sulu 1.:11 ex-riled trison keeper of the
linion soldiers is on trial for the inhumani
ties he committed on our men at the insti
gation of Jefferson Davis, lii, master. A
dispatell from North Carolina says that the
trial of Major John flyer, formerly com
mander of the rebel prison at Salisbury, is
in progress at Raleigh, North Carolina, and
will not be closed for two months. The
testimony adduced at the trial of flyer is of
the most revolting character. It exceeds,
in its barbarous details, any that was elicit
ed at the trial of Were. Witnesses testify
that flyer deliberately ordered Union pris
oners to he shot for no other reason than
that they asked for i atiims to keep from star
vation, or demanded the money they knew
had been sent to them by friends to buy
bread. Others were shot for going beyond
certain limits in the locality or their con
finement, while the sick were tortured as
long as they had life to feel a pain. And
this was all done in the name of the Con
federacy and the sanction of Jeff, Davis.
• There is trouble in Chester Co. about the
Internal Revenue Assessorship. Mr. Choy
ney, the assessor died recently, whereupon
a Mr. Cheen, one of the assistant assessors,
who resided in the same district as Mr.
Cheyney, took charge of the office in pr.
swine° of law. The Department at Wash
ington, however, have designated Mr. Dar
lington, assistant ' assessor of- the West
Chester, on first district, to net as assessor
until a new appointment is made. Mr.
Glieen is compelled to vaeatti—and there is
considerable hard feeling between the friends
of the parties respectively.
How UNION MEN TALK IN TEX7O.—TIIO
eidern Texan, a journal which appears to
be conducted by ono of the old lynch-law
Rebels, wrote lately : •
• "We believe the ticket presented,' with
J. W. ThroCkmorton,.for, :Governor, and
George W. Jones, of Bastrop, for Lieut.-
tenant-Governor, is the instrument through
which Radicalism combo beat down in Texas,
and its advocates made to seek shelter in
climes more congenial than that allinated in
Texas. Wo give to this tieket, our support,
and will, at the proper time, throw it to the
breeze, and give more fully our reason •for
doing so." t •

Who Were • and - Are Dieunioniste P
The ,article which we quote below, from
the Detroit Pose, ought to•be read breVery
votorin the United States. It sets forth so
clearly . the shallowness and hypocrisyof men
and the party now howling about radicalism,
and pretending to be the friends of the
Union, while they are really working to got
the Southern rebel politicians back into the
offices they voluntarily vacated when they
made themselves perjured traitors. It is
the best statement of the case that has been
made :
Almost every issue of a Democratic paper
one picks up now-a-days, charges the Re
publicans with being disunionists, just as
though_ " DemoCracy" and Republicanism
had, somehow, changed places,.and we were
advocating the doctrines of the Chicago
Platform, and: lauding Seymour, Vallandig
ham, Wood and McClellan.
And who are these fellows who talk so
glibly about disunionism ?
They aro the men who declared that se
cession was not treason.
They are the men who declared that co
ercion of armed rebellion was unconstitu
tional.
They are the men who styled the Union
soldiers hounds,' bull-dogs,' hirelings,'
Hessians,' and thieves.'
They are the men who• threatened a fire
in the rear' of our gallant Union'armies.
One of these papers is the one which de
clared that if any troops should tAmpt to
leave Michigan to march upon the rebellious
South, " they would be met before they
crossed the border by 60,000 armed Demo
crats, who would open them a Pre that would
send them howling home or greatly accel
erate their march."

BUTLER CouxTr.—The Republicans held
their primacy election on the 9th inst. For
Congress, Ebenezer Alc.lunkin had 1569
votes, James Kerr 914, and Thomas Will
iams 53. This result, however, will not de
feat the re-nomination of Mr. Williams,
who will have in conference the representa
tives of Allegheny and Armstrong in his
favor, and those of Butler against him.
Henry Pillow was unanimously renominat
ed for Assembly, Thomas Gai voy and Joseph
Cummins for Associate Judges, James B.
Story for Sheriff, and James B. Clark for
Prothonotary.
The following are among the resolutions
adopted :
Resolved, That the Republicans of Butler
county will cordially sustain Congress in
its patriotic labor to protect and reward
loyalty, .o punish treason, and to secure,
past all future contingency, the stability of
the Union and of Republican institutions,
by placing the reconstruction of the States
lately in rebellion in the hands of the truly
loyal men, to the entire exclusion of all who
voluntarily labored to construct a South

The Democratic' Party
Ex-Gov. Thomas, in ono of his late speech
es,. Units describes the Democratic party :
That word Democracy was, once an
'honorable party aim. It was borne' by
.Jefferson, the Apostle, might almost say.-'
of. American liberty. It was borne by
Jackson, who reorganized the old 'Dome.;
-credo party fromits disturbed' and divided
elements in 1824. In its original signW
cation it is fitly named. It is derived from
" demos," a Greek word signifying the peo
ple, and " krateo," - to govern—the people to
govern. But When applied to that class of
men_Who have assumed it in their treasona
ble attempt - to overthrow . the , Government
simply because they bad 'been defeated in
Presidential election, it is cruelly prostitu
ted, and has no power to rally the old guard
of the Democratic party. Even if I wore
disposed to have kindly sympathy for my
misguided fellow-citizens I could not justly
manifest it when they congregate under this
much abused name. ,A Democrat would al
ways submit to the majority. But at what
are they now engaged? They meet at pub
lic assemblies and give utterance to their
uppermost and most heart-thasurod senti
ments. Have you Seen ono single resolution
congratulating the country upon the fact
that our glorious Government has been res
tored—that our Union has been preserved—
that the authority of this Government • has
been extended over every foot of soil origi
nally within our boundaries ? Do you find
them uttering heartfelt thanks to the gal
lant boys who born our banner over so many
bloody fields of the South? Do you find
them uttering ono word of rebuke to the
traitors, or the principles and dispositions
of Southern men—the unsubdued Rebels?
Do you find them denying to the Govern
ment of the United States the right to pay
for emancipated negroes ? Do you find
them sanctioning a consti'mtional amend
ment that will prevent the Congress of the
United States having the power that they
ma'y hereafter tamper with thousands of
millions of dollars, an amount of worthless
scrip to be made Valuable by its assumption
by the Government of the United States
Do you find them passing resolutions breath
ing the true spirit of patriotism? They
will endorse President Johnson, and why?
Because they would propose to bring in
again to this Government the very men who
have been in open rebellion, while the sneak
ing sympathizers were cowardly keeping
out of the way and out of the reach of every
kind of danger. They would come into the
Union again to endanger the perpetuity of
the Co us ti to Lion, whose preservation has
cost us so much blood and treasure.
BUNCOMBE
The President's circular to heads of de
partments, enjoining upon them to appoint
honorable-discharged soldiers to clerical po
sitions in place of civilians, amounts to com
paratively nothing. 1 have not yet heard
of the appointment of one of the thousand
applications who had served the country in
the field, but on the contrary, daily civilians
wile have the necessary political influence,
and have signified willingness to swear alle
giance to "my policy," are being coimnis
shined, while deserving soldiers, wearing
the scars cf many a wound, are informed
that "no vacancies exist." Recently, a sup
porter of the President and a virulent de
claimer against Congress, who had been dis
honorably dismissed from the Treasury De
partment for ungentlemanly conduct, in in
sulting his superior officer, was reinstated,
while at the same time, Secretary McCul
loch, was pr paringan order for the dismis
sal of several soldier clerks, bemuse "the
force is too large !"T he only service render
ed the Government by this recipient of the
Secretary's graciousness, was in drawing his
monthly stipend of one hundred (Pillars.
It is full time that Congress should Lake
the appointing power out of the hands of
heads of departments, in order to secure jus
tice and impartiality to meritorious clerks.
In this department there are hundreds of
"bookworms" who have subsisted on the
Government, sonic for twenty years. Na
turally they now fill all the tat offices and
draw the large salaries without. any com
punctions of conscience, and ninny have suc
ceeded in placing in office their sons and
daughters. Such is the case with the chief
clerk of the Treasury Department, who has,
besides his own compensation ($2,200 per
annum,) $1,200 drawn by his two boys, who
e its tut,,,iget,l,, the rlopartml.r,t.
In the United States Treasury's office, a mes
senger, a mere boy. receives SI,OOO, while
his mother and her sister comfortably accept
jointly $1,500. This is a specimen of the
style of the justice accorded the widows
and orphans of deceased soldiers. It is stated
by persons who ought. to know that but one
fourth of the ladies employed by Secretary
McCulloch, as copyists or in other capacities,
are the relatives of our dead martyrs, while
the remainder are the wives and daughters
of old residents of Washington.— Press,
Bravo Words in Texas
Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, is a noble con
trast Co the other Provisional Governors of
the Southern States. While li - s associates
in office are either newly reconstructed rebels,
or, at best, lukewarm Unionists, he is an
unconditional loyalist, and is never asham
ed or afraid of tne fact becoming known.
Texas is probably the most bitterly rebel of
the late Confederate States. Its people did
not suffer a tenth part of the misery experi
enced by the communities east of the Missis
sippi, and it is a well known fact that the
worst whipped rebels are now the best be
haved. In Texas the bowie knife or the Ind
ere ale favorite argument of the secession
ists, and even a Chief Magistrate has reason
to dread the violence of the brutalized popu
lace. Hence every man who dares to utter
sentiments which are unpleasant to the
masses deserves especial credit. No truer
words have yet been spoken than those con
tained in an address delivered by Gov.
Hamilton before the Texas Convention at
Austin, about three weeks since. His au
dience was mostly made up by hitter rebels,
yet his language was as direct and undis
guised as if intended for a Northern Re
publican asselubly. He began asserting the
inalienable right of l ree speech. He showed
how the prviilege had been denied to Texas
for the past five years,. by the oligarchy
which Cragged and deceived the people into
rebellion, with the hope of establishing an
aristocracy on the ruins of free government.
Ile told his hearers that many of them held
seats because they where rebels; having
defeated their more loyal opponents solely
through their avowed hatred of the'Goveru
ment and warned them that thenhad an
account with the nation Which was , et to be
settled. It was too late now to sll ace ob
jections by lynch law, as had been one du
ring the years just past. Them was no
power iu the Government that would pro
tect the people otevery opinion and color.
He had no objection to respect being
shown the Confederate dead ; but if their
friends could eulogize them, the lovers of
the Union must be permitted to speak of
those who have 'perished in - an ignominious
manner, on account of their devotion to
their country. If the murderers of those
men were protected, the Government would
be e Powerful enough to bring criminals',to
light and,.meto out justice to them. •

The Report of the Committee as a who],
is entirely too long for our columps. The
g i s t i s , however, contained in the following
concluding paragraphs :
The question before Congress is, then : •
Whether conquered enemies have the right,
and shall bo permitted at their own pleasure
and own terms, to participate in making laws
for their conquerors? Whether conquered
rebels may change their theatre of opera
tions front the battle-fields, where they were
defeated and overthrown, to the halls of
Congress, and their represenfatives seize up
on the Government which they fought to
destroy 7 Whether the National Treasury,
the army of the nation, its navy, its forts and
arsenals, its whole civil administration, its
credit, its pensioners, its widows and'orphans
of those who perished in the war ; the pub
lic honor, peace, and safety, shall all bo
turned out to the keeping of its recent ene
mies, without delay, and without requiring
such conditions as in the opinion of Congress
the Security of the country and its institu
tions may demand?
The history of mankind exhibits no ex.:
Maple of such madness and folly., The' in
stinct of self-preservation protests against it.

proved incontestably by the testimony of,

ThO conclusion of your Committee, there
fore, .iit that the so-called Confederate States
eye not, at present, entitled to representation
in tide 1 Congress of the United States;, that
before allowing such 'representation, ade
quate' security for future peace and safety
shpuld be required; that this can only be
found iti such changes of the organic law as
shall - determine the civil rights and privi
leges of all citizens in all parts of the re
public, shall place representation on an
equitable basis, shall tic a stigma upon trea
son, and protect the oyal people against
future claims for the o. penses incurred in
support of rebellion and for manumitted
slaves, together with an express grant in
Congress to enforce these provisions. To
this end they offer a joint resolution for
amending the Constitution, and the two
several .bills designed to carry the same in
toe ffect before refered to.
Before closing this rofort, your Committee
beg leave to state that the specific recom
mendations submitted by thorn are the re
sult of mutual concession, , aftor a long and
care:ul comparison of conflicting opinions.
Upon a question of such magnitude, infinite
ly important as it is to the future of the re
public,
it was 1101 to be expected that ell
should think alike. Sensible to the imper
fections of the sehoine, your Committee
submit it to Congress as the best they could
agree upon, in the hope that its imperfec
tions may be cured and its deficiencies sup
plied by legislative wisdom, and that, when
finally adopted, it may tend to restore peace
and harmony to the whole country, and to
our republican institutions on a more stable
foundation.
The joint Resolution passed by the Senate
was taken up for final action in the House
Thursday, and passed by a vote of yeas
120—nays :32—for over two-thirds. It now
goes to the States for ratification and will
be ratified by two-thirds of the States be
yond all doubt.
TEH TRUE POLICY OF THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.
The New York Herald, of a late dale,
in referring to the constitutional amend
ment which received such an overwhelming
vote in the House of Representatives, thus
fairly and ably sots forth the real objects and
just provisions of that measure:
This Congressional propoSition nir the
amendment of the Constitution, meantime,
as modified by the Senate, is an ingeniously
contrived party platform fur the coming fall
elections. It propysos to make it part of the
supreme law of the land that whites and
blacks born or naturalized in the United
States are citizens of the Union and of thin
State in which they may reside, and shall
have equality under the law; that repre
sentation in Congress shall be regulated by
the restrictions of the several States in the
matter of voting; that a large schedule Of
men, who, as forme,- officials under the
Government of the United States, have
been guilty of violating their oaths by join
ing in rebellion, shall hereafter be excluded
from all Federal offices, unless absolved by
a taw,-thirds vote of each douse of Con
gress ; that the national debt and the boun
ties and pensions of the Union soldiers shall
be held sacred and that all rebels debts and
claims for losses of slaves by dm late war
shall be utterly repeaffited. It is further
moposed in a supplemental bill that the now
excluded States respectively, on accepting
and ratifying the conditions laid down,
shall not Only he readmitted into Congress,
but shall have a credit of ten years in refer
ence to their quota of the national debt.
This is, we say, a strung platform upon
which to go before the people of the North
ern States. There is nothing hero obnox
ious to public opinion in the way of negro
suffrage, while the alternative suggested
will be satisfactory to the .North. There
are no vindictive penalties here against
rebels and traitors, but conditional exclu
sions, which cannot be resisted successfully
before the people who put down the rebell
ion. The same may be said of the proposi
tions touching the national debt, the debts
of the rebellion and the four millions of
liberated Southern slaves. Upon this plat
form the Republican party adhering to this
Congress can carry our approaching North
er" niiiy did oar, it
there be no other sharply defined issue
brought in season before the people. The
Republican supporters of President John
son, as against. Congress, can make no light
against this platform, for it is the President's
own policy. It is a CoinprolniSti platform
against which Johnson Republicans cannot
even quarrel with the radicals before the
people, although the hatred of the radicals
against J uhnson may continue as intense as
uu the.eve of the late Connecticut election.
We ask nothing fairer than this exposition
of the principles contained in the Constitn
tutional amendment just adopted by Con
gress. If the malignant enemies of progress
fa this "c.onntry, if journals such as the Now
York Herald, which is the recognized organ
of the class who organized treason fur th,
perpetuation of slavery, can be thus frank
in doing justice to the Republican party,
we have nothing to fear from fair and pa
triotic people. On the issues as !hey ore
stated by the New York Herald, the !tepid!.
Henn party of Pennsylvania wilt go into Lb e
election of October next.

porter of Clymer in the State, was promptly
on . 10111(1 at Richmond last week to help clear

half of his friend Davis, and boldly declared
his great sympathy for that notorious erimi

to Fortress Monroe to concoct, further plans,
with the arch conspirator and iraitor. As
soon as he is through with his work there he
wil! hasten back to Pennsylvania to instruct
his Democratic followers here in political
duties I What honest and loyal man is there
in the Democratic party, who does-not feel
that the party Is still in the hands of sym
pathizers with treason ?
Tun Otters.—ln New England the crops
.are generally reported good; hay will bo
abundant, and the fruit yield millions of
dollars in advance of last year: In the
South the general report is that the crops
will turn out well, nithogh in some quarters
excessive rains are complained of. The
wheat throughout Georgia has been harvest
ed, and although tho crop is by no. means
.excellent, it turns. out better than was an
ticipated some time ago. Along the lower
Mississippi frequent crevasses have caused
groat destruction. In Southern Illinois the
wheat crop is said to ho a failure, but corn is
promising well, In Ohio and 'lndiana the
wheat promises very badly, but. in lowa,

CARLISLE SPA I NUS.—On Satßl.ll9
evening last we visited the above popular
summer resort, and desire to call the atten
tion of our readers to the changes which

The new proprietors Messrs TnomrsoN
Mi"GuLf.ocu, have renovated and refitted
the entire building. Paint, paper and white
wash, have altogether metamorphosed the
real estate, while elegant furniture, uphol
stery, and carpeting have so improved the in
terior that the old time visitor would scarce
ly recognize the place. The projected out
door improvetneuts are a spacious dancing
arbor to be located just at the mineral spring',"
and a splendid trotting course one mile in
length to encircle the buildings. The pro
prietors are gentlemanly and attentive, and
the cuisine is beyond praise, while the ser
vants, plate, table ware, and general man
agement reminds the visitor of a first-class
city hotel with the invaluable adjuncts of
pure inountain atmosphere and beautiful,
imposing, scenery.

P. it. R. PASSENGER CARS ON THE
C. V. It R.—A Pennsylvania Railroad pas
senger car will leave Philadelphia on th e
Day Express West direct for Chainbersburg
without change, And a similar car will leave
Chambersburg direct for Philadelphia, to
connect with Day Express East. This ar
rangement began on Monday last, and w'•
congratulate our Cumberland Valley friends
on the change. The I'. R. R. passenger
cars aro larger and very tine, and their in
troduction upon the Cumberland Valley
Railroad will be an era in the travelling
improvements of that line. Wo arc glad to
see this accomplished.
Ma. CHAS. FRANCISCUS, has present
ea, us with a limited quantity of Yonger's
Scotch Ale, and in accordance with a time
honored custom we say to our roadetis what,
we think of it. IL is without any humbug
one of the mist delightful and at tho same
time healthful beverage's extant. It is less
hurtful than coffee and a bettor stimulant
than the be,t, brandy. Happy is the man
who can atrord to have Monger for his diur
nal dinner companion.
.BASE BALL.-A friendly game of
Bast: Ball, between the Cumberland Valley
Club of - Mechanicsburg, and the Amateur
Club of our town, was on lost Friday, play
ed upon the ground, of the latter.
The '•('tunberltnd Valley" arrived by the
morning train and under the escort of Com
mittee of the Amateurs proceeded at once to
the field. Thu game wns called at 10.45 A.
M.. and ended at 2.15 I'. M. Seven innings
fully were played, in consequence of our
Mechanicsburg friends having to return to
heir homes by the afternoon train.
The game was quite spirited and present
ed some line playing on both sides. In bat
ting and running the bases, our townsmen,
were we think the superiors of their gentle
manly opponents. In fielding the superior
ity of the Cumberland Valley was marked.
The result of the game was, a fine victory
for Thu Amateurs.
A large number of visitors was in attend
ance; including many ladies whose presence
added greatly to enliven the scene. The en
ergy of The Amateurs in fitting up the
grounds for accommodation of visitors is
highly commendable, and we hope our citi
zens will find a pleasure in attending their
ironies at all limes, not only when clubs from
a distance are their competitors, but also
every evening during the week from 6 to 8
I'. V., and on Saturday from 2to 8 P. M.,
the appointed hours for practice.
We append the score from which it will
be seen the gnaw stood 40 for The A tnateurs,
to 8 for the Cumberland Valley.
