But its failure was ow ing to others, who did not - strike for their country With a, heart. I' struck boldlyi and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step,through a thousand of his friends, and was stopptd, but pushed in. A colonel was athis aide.

The "diary" purpqrts to be one for 1864, and the leaves(cut or . torn from it probably contained ntries 'of that year, and were thus destroyed by-Booth himself. It is absolutely cer tain that the diary is in all respects as it was when it came into my hands; and Colonel Conger, who was promi nent in the pursuitand captureof,llooth, after having carefully examined it in my presence on yesterday, declared its condition to be now precisely the same as when he took it from Booth's body after he had been shot, the writing in it being the same, and all which it then • contained. Conger was examined before the Ju diciary Committee of the House of Representatives to-day. - (Signed) J. H.OLT, F. F. :Judge Advocate peneral. A YOTSNG Lint SLEEPS, TWELVE YE, Rs.—Some eight miles from Hick _ man, says the Hickman (Ky.) Courier, there exists a young lady who presents the most wonderful case of coma or pre .- ternatural•disposition to sleep, of which we have ever known or hear g. When about twelve years old she *as' taken with a severe chill, and.treated by her physicianstaccordiney. °As her .fever which followed the chill snbsided, she fell into a deep sleep, iu which condi tion she has remained ever since,,,ex cept at intervals. She awakes regular ly twicecin every twenty-four hours, at which time nourishment is given her, and it is a most singular fact that' she always awakes within a few minutes of the same hours every day. She will remain awa e and perfectly conscious five, ten,-or erhapslifteenminutes, and • then grade a ly drop off to sleep again. When asleep it is utterly impossible: to arouse her. She is now twenty-four 'years old, and has consequently.heenln this comatose condition a period of Wave years. When awake she does 'not appear. to suffer, except from a `drow&y, gaping inclination, and a per sistent effort to cleanse her throat of phleghm. She iif,of ordinary size, and her limbs and -muscles well propor tioned and develled, She has • grown coneiddrably sine, her affliction. Her name is Mary Go4sy, and her mother is a very poor widow lady, dependent upon the charity of neighbors and visi tors for a support. She has been visited .since her affliction by many eminent physicians, but her condition defies all medical skill. REPUBLICAN VI CT ORIEL—Fort Wayne, Indiana, was carried by the Republicans last week by majorities of from 900 to 800. It has heretofore been "Democratic" by 900 to 1, - 2.00 majority. The charter election took v place in , Tslorrlstown ' New Jersey, on the 13th inst. The Republicans , elected their whole ticket without oppesitton. This Is quite a change, as one moth previ ousthe town was carried by the Demo - c rats: • Not many years ago California was mainly supplied withh - bread from the At • lantie States., Flour commanded, at the highest, fifty dollars a barrel. Now, flour, at San Francisco , sells for - $B, and large quantities of wheat have been shipped at prpflt to Philadelphia and New York. 11, the agitator. WELLSBORO, PENN'A.

We co'ngratulate the proprietors of, the Pittsburg Gazettee upon the pros perous condition of that paper, it hav ing been enlarged to a nine-column pa per during the week. It is one of ,the very ablest journals in the North, and deserv.es a generous patronage. We assure our neighbo of the Brad ford Argus that we di'd iet do' ourself the honor to visit any qanctum editorial on the occasion of the visit to Towanda briefly mentioned last week. Next time we shall 'endeiwor to see all the ma- Chinery in motion in that enterprising village. ' • The trial of John H. Suratt has i3eeu postponed to the 10tir inst. , impertant witnesses being absent. We hope the trial may go on. If Suratt .is guilty he deserves punishment. If hinoCent - he deserves an honorable discharge. There is little probability of his being convict-, ed, or if convicted, of his execution.— There has been enough of shuffling. PE.EIEIUMB 111 R DIPOSSIBILITIEB. ,AVe make no qmiplaint of the effort tto reform the mijior politics of the coun y. It needs information. It , would gratify us to know that none but the very best men were to be preferred for office hereafter: -_Best men,' however, will not always be preferred. It would aflbrd us very great satisfaction to learn that men of worth 'and decency could serve a term in any office and re tire no worse for the service, in morals, and not unduly better in pocket. The rule, however, is, that he *ho handles hot iron will burn his fingets. The premium s offered by the Loyal League, of Philadelphia, for the best ,plan .for nominating candidates for place, will doubtless set ninny busy minds at work. We hope somebody may , not only get the pretnium, but give us some better plan ilian . that now in use. Several plans suggest them selves to Its, hither . of },which would work capitally in al community of an gelic men. Given a community of . men without selfish ambitions, without lrr esistibleimpulses to self-aggrandizement, with no plans and purposes incompati ble with the greatest good to the great est number, given such a community, and how delightful a taskit would be to inaugurate the era when none but good men should be nominated, and consequently, nonettlf kood men elect ed. The Convention systetki is faulty and abusive. We admit that. But if a nominating Convention is faulty, a Constitutional ConVeiftion is not less faulty. Yet how do 4 you propose to al ter, /atend, or abolish organic laws without a popular ',convention? When me@ essay public business they natu rally enough begin /systematically.— Order, concert of actin, `>•Wieldliness" are absolutely necessl y t'o the tranact ion of business. Row are these to be secured?. They*ean only be secured by a tempo rary waiver of rights on the part of 'the masses. Two thousand men cannot de liberate successfully; so, then ; two thous and men - select six (more, or less) men to speak and act for them. Dd the op- onents of Conventions consider that „ . . the system lies at the. very foundation of ow. Government? Congress is but a Convention of the Representatives of the people. The necessity for some such method of transacting the busi ness of thirty millions is apparent. Mr. Greeley, -as usual, has a” plan for sending the pres4nt system of nomina tions to the shades. He would eloct fewer officers l and appoint more. Ad would discard the machinery of " Regu- lar Nominations," and, call by _requisi tion upon fit men to stand as candidates. All of which is very pleasant theory. To appoint more - officers Is/ only to change the form . of the current system, not the effect. If the appOinting " powers that be are purer than the people we have yet to learn it. And if nomina tion by requisition be substituted for Regular Itorninations, how long will it be before some . modest aspirant will pay ten dollars a head for signers to a requi sition ftglli consent to run for some office ? The strife then will be to get the most signers, just as it now is to get the most men out to primary elections.— Besides this disability there is another not ess serious; Twenty men of weight and influence 'want an ax ground, and nineteen of them sign a requisition up on thei l twentieth for his service aga: can didate.li -.What is the difference, prays? No, gen t tlemen reformers'of our politi cal machinery, this will not do. You must so educate the people that hum bugs cannot cheat them. So o Lnl . as de. men arc easily tWtered, so I -- 1 ill there be unfit nominations an is graceful elections. We cannot escape theyenaltiesof ignorance and misedu cation by any plan to be devised, which plan does net include the primary, en- lightinent of the masses. There is not a vast deal of poetry about political ma chinery. If' there were, the " requisi tion" plan-might work for a time, But bad ambition has made politics a dirty trade. Unscrupulous men desire office, yid do not stick at the intermediate steps.' So long as the people can be wooledlay smooth talk, you may devise as ninny plans as there are stars in the skies, and none of them will reform Preliminary political work. And yet, 'we 13 hall look for good to grow out of the strife likely to ensue for the premium. Attorney-General Stab bery has pro nounced "an authoritative opiniOn of the scope and bearing tof the Reconstruc tion Act passed by the last Congress. The Registration Law is declared invi olable, and the disfranchisement of of T tiaras of the -Qotifederacy proper, and of voluntary .niders-and abettors of the Rebellion is. confirmed. He decides that merepunicipal officers do not fail under the disfranchising clause of the Act. This narrow§ down the - class of disfranchised persons materially, and inekefs the test oath the chief bar to the abuse of the elective franchise in the re bellious districts. The several military commanders in those districts will car ry out the law in accordance with the spirit of this opinion of the Attorney General. Perhaps this is as favorable au opin ion as the country had a reason to look for. llt does something to strew flowers in the path of crime, and still does not remove the principal restraints. We have not a very high regard for the ve racity of the rebels, and cannot see why' a man who took an oath to support tje Constitution of, the United States, and then fought to destroy it, should not4be ready to ;repeat the operation times 10t1,mut number. But the Attorney General seems to put greater confidence in the class to which the rule applies. It is t4: ; be feared that some of our pub lic men do not l yet comprehend the magnitude of the' rime of treason. It is well, also, to remember that forgive ness is promised only to such as bear fruits meet for repentance. 1 1 Great swindles appear to be the ord r of the day. The latest is the hay-ra e swindle, just flaw being ventilated y the New York State. papers. The awl , dle was concocted in Chenango Couil ty, N. Y., and upward of 200 men are scattered through the different States engaged in selling the unwary. We have nowhere seen the precise plan of operation pursued by these swi.Mllers. But it seems that they sell territory and take notes therefor paya ble in stxty daSis. The right to manu facture is not sold, and the evidence goes to prove that the patentee; one Palmer, of Greene, Chenango Co., is the sole maker of the rake, yet has no faegities to furnish them. The pur chasers of rights cannot deliver the rake, and so lose their money. We have reason to fear that some of these operators bare been at work in this county already. At all events let the people avoid 4 all venders of patent rights. ' Maximilian is a prisoner in the hands of the Liberals and the Empire found ed by Louis Napoleon in Nrexico is en- ded. The despatch bearing the nelvs stater that the summary execu tion of the unhappy Max had been de creed by Juarez, the President. We do not see why this should be done ; Max imilian, like Jeff Davis, is the relict of " a lost cause," the victim of an idios yncracy. Davis tried to destroy MI na tive country. Max did destroy the Mexican Republic. Davis failed, and borrowed the crinoline of his mother in-law to run away in. Max failed, but faced his foe to the last. We can ad mire Emperor Max, but find itdiffidult to coax up any better emotion than dis gust...in behalf of Jeif Davis.•._We hone Juarezl - has not shot Max, and will not. A good thing might be done—Senorßo mere, the Mexican Minister at Wash ington, might bail Max, simply as an act of magnanimity. t_ , If Mr. Greeley is entirely satisfied tth his action in the case of Jeffersen vis he-etrn afford to have his motives isconstrued. . He set out with a dec laration that he would not indulge ,in explanations to anybody, and has av eraged a column per day, directly, or in directly, in defense of his action. Had he stuck by his declaration he would have foiled his assailants, as the innate chivalry of human nature always rk spects a nip-combatant: But since he indulges in sharp wads and bad tem pered phillipiea he mutt expect to be badgered by his "minor cotemporaries." His often allusion to those who " howl, I themy paper!" reveals the_ fact that !he is troubled thereby. We should never feel avenged Of an injury by stop ping a panel; but the people have their idiosyncracies as well as Mr. Greeley, and stopping papers is oue of them it seems. f (For The Agitator.) Pioneer Sketches I have'read the sketches of the early settlement of Tioga County lately pub lished in The Agitator, and naturally feel much interest in such, reminiscen ces; having lived in Northern Penn sylvania since February 1804, part of the time in Bradford and the remain der in Tioga County. I glean .from McMaster's history of Steuben County that Samuel Baker, from Connecticut, built a cabin betweeh the Tioga and Cowanesque rivers, a few rods South Of the State line. His entire movables consisted of a cow, and such things as he could carry on his back. His near est neighbor was a Mr. Harris, an Indi an trader at tho Painted Post, the next below Elmira. During the summer Mr. Stone, from Massaehusettss, who had been engaged in the Shays' Re bellion, and tied to the wilderness to escape arrest. In the fall, Mr. IN er left Stone In care of his cabin and while he went east to get his faint , with whom he returned the next spring. Here he lived until 1793, six years.— Not being satisfied with the title to his Pennsylvania farm he was induced by Col. Williamson ( who had visited him, the year previous while exploring -the' road from Lycoming County) to remove to Steuben County, at the head of Crook ed Lake, where he lived until 1842, and died at the age of 80 years. His was an eventful life, having been a soldier at 15, taken prisoner by the British army, and held in captivity until the surren der of Burgoyne. He then rejoined the American army and served through the war. He became one of the foremos, _ men in Steuben county, holding at one time the office of Judge, and at - various times offices of trust. In 1792, Benjamin, overseer of the men who were cutting out the William son Road, found coal while hunting near where Blossburg now stands.— It was then known as " Peter's Camp," from the name of their baker who built an oven thereoarobably the first build ing ever put up in that region. A few days later the same, Company made an impro-vement at Canoe Camp Creek, while Patterson was away at Painted Post. _His men made a few canoes, and cleared about two acres of land. This seems to have been the second clearing tritide-in_T toga County Minnesota, it is estimated, isreceiving an addition to its population of one thousand a day: THE SHIP OE DEATH.—Since the time when the Ancient. - .Ig - wilier told the terrible tale of the curse-laden ship with her crew of ghastly corpses, no more thrilling story of the sea has been related than that of the ship Diana, that recently drifted hit* one of the. Shetland islatids• A year'ago she left thet Shetlaida On` a whaling voyage to the iliretie regions, having on board fifty min. From that time nothing more was heard of her.— The friends of those on - board becarbe alarmed.' Money was raised- and pte miums offered to the first vessel that would bring tidings of tho missing ship but all to no avail. Hope was almost abandoned. On the 2d of April the people near Rona's Voe, in one or.tbe Shetland Isles, were startled at seeing a ghastly wreck of-a ship sailing into the harbor. Battered and iceerushed, sails and cord age cutaway, boats and . spars cut up for fuel in the terrible Arctic winter, her decks covered with dad and dying, the long lost Diana salledin like a ship from the Deadman's Land. Fifty. men sailed out of Lere lf. in tier °n it bright. May morning la ear..y All of the fif ty came back on er on 'the second of April, this year ; the _sane, yet how different I Ten men of whom the captain was one, lay stiffened corpseS On the deck ; thirtyfive lay helplessly sick, and some dying ; two retained sufftbient strength to creep aloft, and the other three crawl ed feebly about the deck. The ship was boarded by the islanders, „ittid as they climbed over, he bulwarlfs, the man at the wheel fell faintingtrom excitement ; one of the sick died as he lay, his death being announced by the fellow occu pant of his berth feebly., moaning, "Take away this dead man:" On the bridge of the vessel lay the body of the captain, as it had lain for four - months, with nine of his dead shipmates by his side, all decently laid - out by those who soon expected to share their fate. Ther , survivora could not bear to sink the bodies of their comrades into the sea, but kept them so that whet' .the last man died the fated ship that had been their common home should be their common tomb. The Surgeon of the ship worked faithfully to the last, but cold, hunger, scurvy and dysentery were too much for lain. The brave old Captain was the first victim, and died blessing his men. Then the others fell, one by,one, until the shiWas tenanted only by the dead anddying. ' One night more at sea would have left the Diana a floating coffin. Not cue of the fifty would have lived to tell the !ghastly tale. The Richmond poem - are naturally very much rejoiced over the'-release of Jell. Davis, and as a genera thing,treat the matter in a kindly and' commenda ble spirit. They say that the act has done more to promote a spirit of kind ness and good will between the North and South than anything which has oc curred since ° the close of the war.— Nearly all of them speak warmly also of the conduct of Mr. Greeley, and Ger:- ritt Smith In manifesting so much frit terest in the matter, and in coming for ward personally to give bail for the late Confederate President. They say it shows a generosity and kindness of heart on the part of two men toward whom the South has cherished the most bitter hostility heretofore, as unexpect ed as it is gratifying.. The Dispatch says that Mr. Greeley and Mr. Davis, though heretofore "antipodes in politi cal sentiments, are now friends by the force of the sympathy of honest hearts and the best impulses of our nature."— Times. FATAL DARING.—On last Saturday* morning a party having a lumber raft in charge, .on the river opposite this place, determined to run over the dam, instead of the chute,. as is the usual custom.

Sickness is an affliction that waits on us all. None are exempt and there are none but need relief from its attacks.— Whoever can furnish this becomes our benefactor. A conviction prevails that Dr. Ayer does it.
