say, the best inan on it comes last. John S.
Rhoy, Esq., was nominated by acclamation

On the resignation of Mr Lytic in last Decem
ber, the Court appointed Mr Rbey. to fill the

est intellects, and best Democrat in the State.
And now, Democrats of Cambria, your dele
gates have faithfully performed their duty.
Are you ready to perform yours with equal
fidelity, on the second Tuesday of next Octo
per ? Are yon willing to sacrifice all your
private grievances on the alter of your conn-
try ? We thiuk we can confidently answer
for you. In this awful moment ot our coun
try's travail, you are determined to keep the
standard of Democracy floating in triumph on
these grand old Allegheny hills. The Moun
tains have ever been the home of Liberty ;
and in the present war between the friends
and tDemies cf the Constitution, the Moun
taineers cf Cambria have not marred their
proud record cf the past. The call of their
countryfwas to them even as the voice cf God,
They were the very first to oiler their services
to th3 Govcrmcnt as volunteers. More than
700 of the citizens of this county, are now in
the tented field and at least two thirds of them
arc Dcmecrats. What better evidence co'd the
Mountaineers afford to the world, that they
love their country and are ready to pour forth

We sit down to write this article, in a bet
ter humor with "all the world anl the rest
of mankind," than we have been for years.
Thank God. the Democracy of Cambria are there hearts' blood to maintain it. Here, at
a unit once more. The dead past has buried I1C darCst moment of the struggle, the voico
its dead, and the friends of the Union and c.f Democratic patriots was heard exhorting
Constitution, in the Mountain county, are our country to be of good cheer, and to hurl
arrayed, like a band of brothers, beneath that defiance at her foes. Let us be equally steai-
time-honored and invincible banner, under fait during the rest of the civil strife. Le

posed of the right kind of men, as the result r,,3S of right, and the success of the Demo-
of their labors fully prove. They refused to cratic party ; the party that has always carried
listen to outside dictation, determined to fear- the flag and kept step to the music of the
lessly perform the duty that had been en
trusted to them by the Democracy of Cambria
They merit the unanimous thanks of their
constituents.
The ticket is composed of the very best men
in our county. It is true that, in every case,
our first choice was not nominated. But that
amounts to nothing. We go into the cam
paign with no friends to reward, no enemies
to punish ; and during the contest wo will
know nothiug but the ticket the whole
ticket.
The nomineo for Assembly is Cyrus L
.r craning, risq., ot Johnstown. lie is no
stranger to the people of Cambria. They
know him well, and will, we are certain, who
ther Democrats or Republicans, admit that he
is honrst and capable of filling the cilice with
more than ordinary ability. He has never
been a demagogue or faction ist, and as a man
and politician, is not enly pure but above sus
jieion. He is an amiable gentleman, a radi
cal Democrat and pure patriot ; why, then,
should not every Democrat rejoice at his nom
ination ?
John Buck, of Carroll tp., our nominee for
Sheriff, i3 a man whom it is impossible to
know and not esteem. Strict and unbending
integrity characterizes his every action, while
remarkable energy is displayed in pushiug
forward bis private business. This is the
best evidence wo can have that he will make
an excellent officer. His competitors for the
nomination were able anl good men, and if
cither of them had been nominated, it would
Lave afforded us much pleasure to labor for
bis election. The triumphant election of Mr
Buck wc confidently set down a3 a foregone
conclusion
For Treasurer, wc have Thomas Callin of
Johnstown. A better nomination could not
Lave been made. He will, if elected, make
an excellent ofnecr. Around him the Democ
racy of Cambria can to a man rally. Go to

Our nominees for Associate Judges arc

filled the office during the last five years with
more than ordinary ability. Ho is cuiphati
cally a common sense mau, and takes a com
mon sense view of all questions submitted to

ho is a brave man arid pure patriot. At the

Loretto, July G, 'Gl.
Mr. Editor : I am gratified to learn that the
birth-day of our National Independence lias leen
celebrated in a fit manner, at least throughout
the good eld Keystcne State; and also that "lit
tle Cambria" was not behind Ler sister counties
in the good woik.
Although our village was very quiet during
the day, owing to a number of its inhabitants
attending a celebration at St. Augustine, I do
assure you we made up for it in the evening. Our
neighbor, Mr. John B. Myers Esq., proprietor cf
the Lorutto House, gave a grand cotillion party,
which, although there were but nine gentlemen
and five ladies present, was truly a very pleasant
party. Wc commenced dancing at about seven
o'clock, P. M., and kept it up until eleven o'clock,
enjoying ourselves well, and
" Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again.
And all went merry as a marriage-bell."
Then some cakes and leer were handed around ;
after the devouring of which, wc resumed the
dancing and done ample justice to the sweet mu
sic discoursed by Messrs. A. J. Bradley and L.
Bcaher, who were the violinists engaged for the
occasion.
About three o'clock some of us who had been
imbibing too freely, got a little Ixozy, and con
cluded to adjourn for the night. We gave three
cheers for the Union and then
Went home with the girls in the morning."

passed cp a ravine opposite the town, and up
on reaching the bead it became necessary to
countermarch around it. u bile this was
doing. tLe rear rank men became excited and
fired across the ravine at those ahead, who
happened to be McMnliin's men. Three lay
down and let ths fire pass over their heads.
No one was hurt except the guide, Mr. Jer
ome Clawsno, who received a ball upon one of
his ribs, but it glanced oflwitout penetrating.
He did not lcava his duties.
A little before four o'clock the regular cros
sing of the forces commenced in the following
order: Wisconsin Regimet, Twenty-third,
Sixth,. Twenty-first, Ninth. Sixteenth, Twenty-fourth,
Twentieth. Seventh, Tenth. First,
Second, Third', Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Col.
Thomas Cavalry, the Philadelphia City Troop
and the Rhode Island Battery which camem
last night, crossed during the passage of the
regiments. It is now 10 A. M., and nearly
all are across with their baggage and appur
tenances, and the advance has reached a point
near Falling Waters, where it wa3 expected a
resistance would be afforded.
The whole crossing was effected quietly
and in order. The nice all waded across, the
water not being mere than two and a half feet
deep in the deepest places. Tho weather was
all that could be desired. The ram of last
night had laid the dust and a verv pleasint
breeze was blowing.
About four o'clock, this morning, two men
from Sharpsburg camo up, having under ar
rest a noted Secessionist, named Stoncbrcaker,
who has been, according to report, extensive
ly engagad in tho destruction of the dams and
bridges.
Two members of the City Troop, Messrs.
Fossitt aud Rivinus, have just came in, bear
ing despaches to Captain Eddy, U. S. Quar
termaster 10 forward musket and rifle cart
riges. They report that the fight commenced
about eleven o'clock to-day, and it is now
half past twelve. Perkins's Battery, the City
Troop and tho second Cavalry were the first
engaged; then tho Wisconsin llcgiment.
Two of McMuliin's men were wounded one
through tho ankle and the other through the
thigh. Seven of the Wisconsin men were
killed and several woundod. Tho number of
tho killed and wounded on the other side could
not be ascertained.
