We learn that a few Republicans in the south em portion of the county, are still talking about nominating what they are pleased to style, a Union ticket. John II. Fisher, Esq., a young and promising lawyer, who wants to get the nomina- tion for Treasurer on the aforesaid union ticket, which he didn't happen to get in the Republican County Convention, is the Ajax of the movement. It dors not, we understand, receive the slightest countenance and support from the Democracy in any portion of the county. A union ticket ! Why bless your souls, gentlemen, if that is all you want, you have only to glance at the head of the editorial columns of this paper. You will there find the genuine article, and no mistake. There is not a man on that ticket who is not a staunch union man. Cvrus L. Pershing. . o. ev..j-WJj Knows, is, and always has been, a de voted friend of the Union. The most ultra abo litionist in the county, cannot except to his course since the commencement of the present war. The same may be said of John Buck, Thomas Callin, Peter J. Little, G. W. E.isly. II. C. Devine, Geo t-v i -c't t m t , i Delany and E. R. Donnegan. W hy then should Democrats go abroad in search of a union ticket, when they have the very article they want at home 1 With regard to the Republican ticket, we have only to ?ay, that we have no reason to doubt the patriotism of the men who compt se it We presume Messrs. Kopelin, Ilamiltou &c, are union men ; at least we have heard nothing to the contrary. But this is a matter fr our Re publican friends to arrange among themselves. If they wish to throw their present ticket over board, and nominate a new one, after assunvnga new name, they have a perfect right to do so. But if they expect the Demociacy to become par ties to the arrangement, hey will soon find that they are mistaken. The Democracy are tow, as they have always been, true to the Union, but they desire no coa lition with outside factions. They are still op posed to the principles of the Republican party. and can therefore form no political union with its members. The National administration has not ignored the claims of party in making appoint ments. Where, or on what occasion, has Tresi dent Lincoln or his Cabinet appointed a Democrat to a civil office. "Why, every Democratic Post Master iu this county has been removed, and a Republican appointed in every in.-tance, where- ever a member of that party could be found wil ling to accept the office And yet we constantly hear certain Republicans prating about no party Trtvi t ftn e o ltninn no it xr , I It A I lirinFi . r. rya- ty aic miitr iir .-uai j in it iiiuui iu sui.il a fiimsoy net as this. Mr. Lincoln distinctly stated in his message to Congress, that he fntends sus- tainiag the political issues on which he was elect- ed. His party stand by him in this position. How, then, can Democrats who revere the prin- riples of their party, form a union with them. The truth is, tf;e movement is only urged and supported by broken-down and disappointed poli- ticians, who care more about the spoils of office, than the preservation of the Union. Kick- ed out and ignored hy the old parties, they hope to gain a little political standing, ind perchance "cure oiiices. oy fiimy up uc orga- n- t : . . l nization- No sensible or patriotic citizen will assist them in carrying on the selfish job.

A patriotic sentiment truly. He does not wish to carry on this war for the preservation of the Union, but foi the purpose of wiping out slavery. And yet this incendiary abolitionist professes to be an immaculate patriot. Heaven defeud us from such. 03- The heavy rains of lat week, were follow ed by several cold, damp and gloomy days, which ;tluu-t caused one to shudder and think of the .old chilly winds of November. K a I a ?ci a. eiucui ul Plot. Wood Just So. Our readers, we re sure, will not be surprised when we inform them that the editor, publisher and owners of the AUeghanian newspaper, are all fanatical abolitionists, who love nigeis, and hate the Lish and Dutch. Well, what if they are? liaven't they a right to be abolitionists it the principles of that paity suit them? Certainly they have. But they have no right to accuse us with being a secessionist, without even a scintlil'a of evidence to sustain the charge. The editor of that paper asserts that we have for weeks been publishing partisan articles, and from this he ar gues to prove that we are a secessionist. And has not the AUeghanian been doing the same thing for weeks 1 Did it not pitch into the Dem -ocratic County ticket as soon as it was nominat ed, and assert that it could not be elected ? Did it not publish the Call of the Chairman of the Republican County Committee, for a County Convention to place in nomination a partisan ticket, and didn't it exhort all true Republicans to attend the delegate elections 1 Did it not en dorse and " hoist" the'ticket that that Conven tion placed in nomination, and call on the party to rail' to its support 1 Did it not prophecy that its ticket would be elected ? If the fact that an editor publishes partisan articles, is evidence sufficient to convict him of being a secessionist, then the editor of the AUeghanian is as much o; a secessionist as we are. It is said that the streets of Jerusalem were kept clean, by every man care fully sweeping every morning, the pavement before his own door. It would perhaps be well for the editor of the AUeghanian to "do likewise," before pitching into us for being a partisan, and therefore, according to his logic, a secessionist. The editor of the AUeghanian stated a short time ago, through the columns of his paper, that this was a staunch Union paper, and that it does not favor the Southern rebellion Last week he stated that we are a secessionist, and that this is a secession Journal ; now, there is a lie out on one s;je or tne other.

We are equally indifferent to his praise or his censure. t e care not how lrequently lrrno- rant and fanatical abolitionists may charge us with being a secessionist, so long as our conscience tells us that the charge is false. " It matters little" saivl a great man, when stretching himself on the block, for the axe of the executioner, "how the head lieth, so that the heart is right." So in like manner, we can say that it is nothing to us. how much abolition hounds may He about us, :x long as we feel that every emotion of our heart is true to the Union. We have never published a paragraph or line favoring the secession move- I TTiort On ili enntrrirv wp have alwavs con- I . ! UCU1 UCU lb 111 I Hi; fbi K'li Ob lauunM 'V command. We dare any man to prove that this is not so. The fact that e have faithfully and fearlessly stood by the Constitution, and boldly uphold the principles of the Democratic party, constitutes the head and front of our offending. We have no charge of disloyalty to make against the editor of the AUeghanian. Detraction is not our trade.

However, if he forces us into a controversy by his infamous and malicious charges against us, he will perhaps find before it is over, that what we have already said concern ing him. was but compa?sion and lenity. We advise him to prudently husband his resources. Since the commencement of this unhappy civil war, we have stood by the National Administra tion in all lawful and const itutional efforts it has made to put down rebellion in the Southern States. We have, it is trie, condemned its as- .-..li. , ,i r i ii rr . t. . saults on the Constitution, and the efforts of the : abolitionists to inaugurate a crusade against the institution of slaverv. and intnn.1 mn i to do so.

It is freighted with all that is dear to us as men, and as American citizens.

On last Wednesday, just after the work of pres sing the number of our paper issued on that day httd been completed, a copy of the Pittsburgh Dispatch, containing in its Telegraphic column an accocnt of a battle in Missouri and the death of Gen. Lyon, was recevtd. We were not in the office at the time, but it at once struck the publisher, who was making up the mails, that it would be a good idea to have the news struck on a separate slip, and placed in the pa pers of the Northern and North Eastern portion of this County. Many of our subscribers in that portion of the Connty seldom see a dail j pape r and rely on us to keep them posted with regard to the news. The news in the Dispatch was cer tainly important, and onr Northern subscribers had as good a right to know it as the citizens of Ebensburg, where the Pittsburgh dailies are ea gerly purchased and peru sed as soon as they ar rive every day. The idea was no sooner entertain ed than carried into execution. The following " Extra" was accordingly prepared, printed and placed in all the papers belonging to the north ern and north eastern mail. St. Louis, August 13. Rumors are cur rent on the street, on which some reliance is placed, that Gen. Lyon's command has been totally routed, Gen. Lyon killed and General Sigel in full retreat, with the j-pmnant of the Federal troops. This information is said to have been received by the Secessionists last eveniog. The messenger who brought the news is said to have killed four horses between Springfield and Itolla, in bis baste to outstrip the Government messenger. It is also re ported that Gen Fremont received dispatches about midnight corroborating the above but their contents have not been divulged. Great anxiety is felt by the Union men here, and most serious apprehensions indulged in for the safety of our army. The arrival of the train to-night will probably bring something reliable. The above intelligence wo clip from the Pittsburgh Dispatch of to-day, (14th). We cannot vouch for its correctness, but fear it s true. Ed Now we think he must have optics sharp in deed, who can dkcover that there is anything treasonable in the above. The news is an ex act copy of the Telegram contained in the Dis- ,jalch, a republican paper, cf last Wednesday moruir.g. Imagine then our surprise on coming down street in the evening, to learn that treason able extra slips had been printed in the Democrat Sentinel office, and that uncontrovertible evi- tor "lemse.ves on many a well tretea UdJ, rc , tii i i . . , , ! ctuits are almost daily enrolling themselves in dencc had been obtained to prove that Charley j oi;r railkS) V) h,)are with us in t, honor of vn Murray, its editor, is, was, always has been, anI j seervinir untarnished their character for bravery always will be, a secessionist. Now, the truth is, we knew nothing about the slip until after it was printed, although if we had been present at the time, we would have said, " all right." The small beer abolition politicians of our borough, were in great tribulation and anguish of spirit during the entire evening, and the denunciations heaped on our head, if not deep, were certainly very loud and all because we dared yes dared, (whither has the liberty of the press fled) pub lish the news of.the day for the information of our subscribers. Is not that what we are paid fori All this howling of course attracted atten tion, and quiet, common sense citizens, began to ask what it was all about. The slip was produ cod and read. And what was the result 1 Why even the patriotic and intelligent republican cit izen of this place, and we are free to admit, that a large majority cf the republicans of our bor ough are patriotic and intelligent, declared that the slip seemed to be a very harmless affair, which smelt of neither treason or secessionij-m.

Friend Hurray As this is the Sabbath, and we are exempt from part ot our duties, I thought that the leisure moments could net be better oc cupied than in writing a short letter; for the pur pose cf keeping your readers poted as to the doincs and expectations of their friends from Cambria. The war for the Union seems to be approach ing a crisis, as the most active preparations are being made, and the utmost vigilance manifested by both the rebel and federal leaders. The forest on the west and north-west of us has been liter ally demolished, for the purpose of building breast woiks, and strong parties are detailed from each regiment every day, for the purpose of erecting fortifications. I would infer from this that the Goverument must expect to act on the defensive but woe to Jeff's forces if they ever cross the Potomac On WedneMlay last we were marched out about a mile from Camp for general review. There were in the field, besides the " bloody eleventh," eight other Penna. Regiments, who were reviewed by Gen. George A. M'Call and his aids. I think that the Keystone troops will com pare favorably with those from any other State. On Thursday the 11th Reg't was detailed for picket duty, aud in the course of their duties cap tured a drove of cattle, numbering 85 head, " ready for the knife," and also those having them in charge. They were designed for the use of Johnson's command, along the Potomac. One of the drovers was suddenly seized with an honest desire of returning a hore which he had borrow ed in the course of his travels, but Gen. M'Cill remarked to him that he should not let that dis turb his slumbers, as the horse would be well cared for; and as for himself he should have a private room, with all the necessary comfort and two waiters. What disposition will be made of them I know not. Company C. captured two deserters from one of the N. Y. Reg'ts, who, on being interrogated as V their business, anf where they hailed from, gave such contradictory and dissatisfactory statements as t excite Mispi picion, in ccnsequer.se whereof they were arretted, when they confessed that they were deserters. There is a court-martial iu sc-s.-i ;n at the head quarters of the 11th, (or the purple of trying a member of Company F. for strikii g his Miperior officer, and threatening to take his life. This is the first thing of the kind that has occurred in our regiment since its formation. I believe our regiment is composed of men who enlisted to fight the enemy ami not to ive trouble to the officers, as even a quarrel is of rare occurrence. Owing to the enviable reputation the old Cambria Guards I sustained, ami the inqerishai!e honors thev won aud glorious achievements, and to aid in adding ;till brighter diadems to their immortal crown of fame. The weather has been rather cool for the lat day or two, and I only hoje it may continue so. When the weather is at its hottest our tents become to hot iu daylight that buckwheat cakes could be baked on them, and at niht when six men are crammed into one, there is no necessity for feather beds to keep us warm. On Thursday last we were honored by a visit from A. A. Rarker, Esq., of K'-ensburg. Mr. 15. has empha'ically been a true friend to the Co ; this, together with the joy of seeing the ever welcome, good natured phiz of a Cambrian, ren dered his reception a warm one. More anon.

He was an offi cer of much promise, and a glorious future seem ed to be licfore him.

Our readers are all familiar with the services he ren j dered his country during the present war. j Notwithstanding the brief period that has elapsed since the commencement of the war, a large number of distinguished officers have already fallen. They will not soon be forgotten by their fellow countrymen. Their memory should be forever held in grateful remembrance by the citi zens of the land they fought to save.

Amaxpa asks us to furnish her with a model farewell love letter to a soldier just departing for the wars. That is out of our line of business. For a farewell letter, Julia's epistle, in the first canto of Byron's Don Juan, is, we think, the best we ever read. It was written, it is true, under peculiar circumstances, by the fair heroine. Yet with all its cbjectionable features, we cannot help thinking that it is one of the most natural, truthful and touching pieces of composition in the English language. The following is the opening stanza : They tell me 'tis decided you depart ; 'Tis wise 'tis well, but not the less pain ; I have no further claim on your young heart, Mine is the victim and would be again ; To love too much has been the only art I used ; I write in haste, and if a stain Be on this sheet 'tis not what it appears My eyeballs burn and throb, but leave no tears. And the concluding stanza of the letter appears to us equally appropriate I have no more to say. but linger still And dare not set my seal upon this shed. And yet I may as well the task fulfil. My misery can scarce be more complete ; I had not lived till now could sorrow kill. Death shuns the wretch who fain the blow would meet. And I must even survive this last adieu, And bear with life, to love and pray for you Other correspondents answered next week. WAR NEWS.

Simon Cameron, Sec. of War. St. Louis, Aug. la. The corresponent of the Democrat, writing from Springfield oa the 12th, furnishe a detailed nccount of the battle at Wilson's Creek. The main facts have been already telegraphed. The enemy's camp extended along ti.e creek for three miles, enclosed by a high ground on each side, upon which the greater part of the engagement was fought. It does not appear that the rebels were driven back for any considerable distance, but their charges were all repulsed, and they burned a large amount ot camp equipage and baggage to prevent its capture. The enemy bad twenty ene pieces of artillery and a very large body of cavalry. Gen. Siegel attacked the rebels from tLeai soutoeast, and as soon as he heard from Gen Lyon's command, he drove them back a half a mile, taking possession of their camp, which extended westwayd to Fayettevi'le road. Here a terrible fire was poured into hi ranks, by a reiment he ha 1 permitted t" ad- j vance within a few paces, s-tipposiu it to be ! the low first. His men scattered consider- j ably, and Col.
