I'u I on Party.
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

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

QJ- Pearce, the editor of the West Chester lie

recent letter from Washington City, to his paper
says, the institution of slavery must be xciped out.
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.

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. If Lis statement a few
wecks ago wa3 lrue, then he was guilty ot
ecdeavor5 last week to 5ve currcncy to a vile

take whichever horn of the dilemma suits him
best. 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-

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. It is not natural any citizen of
Tennsvlvania should desire to see our free and

others of being equally guilty. Being loyal our-
self, we are slow to suspect others of disloyalty.
We have no desire to get into a controversy on
this or an- other subject with our neighbor.
Towards him we have never entertained any but
- . -
the kindest feelings. 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. In the word of James Russell Lowell.

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

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.

LETTER FROM CAMP TENNALLY
Camp Tenxally, Aug. 18th, 1801.
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.

The late General Lyon.
The intelligence of the death of Brigadier-General
Lyon has been received with profound sorrow
in every portion of the country. He was an offi
cer of much promise, and a glorious future seem
ed to be licfore him. His friends, however, have
the consolation of knowing that he died in the
noblest of causes, and at the head of his armv,
guished himself in the siege of Vera Cruz, and
was breveted Captain, for gallant and meritorious

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.
" II jw sleep the brave who sink to rest,

She then shall dress a sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet has ever trod.

By fairy forms their dirge is sung
There honor comes, a pilgrim gray.
To bless the turf that wraps their clay,
And freedom shall awhile repair.

To Correspondents.
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

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. Salmon's culd not be rallied,
consequently, Gan. Siegel lost five of his
puns, the other being brought away by Cpt.
Flasre. who compelled the prisoners to drag
it off the field.
Our troops captured about f.ur hundred
horses.
The body of Gen. Lyon has been embalm
ed for conveyance to hit fronds iu Connecti
cut.
