OHMJUW ■' -■ *-*> •• TUNKHANNOCK, P A Wednesday, July, 2O 1864. \ FAIR NOTICE On and after tho close of the pres ent voltimn, (August 3d), the sub scription price of the Democrat will be §2, per year, in advance. If not paid within six months, $2,50 will positively be charged. Those who have already paid for the fourth vol umn or any part of it, will receive it up to the time for which they have paid, at our former rates. Col, 11. M. Hoyt and Lieut. Col Conyng. ham of the 52d Pa Vols, with a part of their regiment were taken prisoners on James Is land, a few days since. JC3T From the Potomac there is no news of importance save that the rebels have made n safe retreat from Maryland, with a large <lrove of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine, and immense wagons, trains of provisions and plunder. Gen. Sherman is said to be meet ing with some snccesf.in his campaign against Atlan'a, X Negro Murdered. Our usually quiet town was throw* into a in of intense excitement on Thursday of last week, by tho murder of a negro, said to be from Canada, by the name of George Holmes. The circumstances, as we have learned, are as follows. Holmes with another negro, and four or five white men, or boys, were brought here; Under arrangement with some substi tute brokers, to be disposed of as substitu'es. It i 6 said t'uat the negroes were to receive .SSO and tho white men §IOO each. All above these sums, respectively was to be re ceived by the brokers. The two negroes were secure d by Mr. Geo. D. Jacason of Sulivau Co, at §550, each examined.accepted, clothed and sworn tn, for two men drafted from that County. Two or three of the white substitutes were alto accepted, and sworn in for men drafted from this County at §6OO each. S4OO, of this money, in each case was left on deposit with the Provo6t Marshal, as collateral security for the safe ap pearance of these men at. Carlisle the place of rendezvous, where the amounts agreed to be paid to them, were to be paid, and the remainder to the substitute agent. As the board of examination had not finished their labors they wnnH not take peronal charge of these men vntil the close of the exaraina tion. which was en Friday. On Thursday at about clock, George Holmes the mur dered man, started from Wall's Hotel, where his guards had kept him rather closely, and ran rapidly down the street towards the riv er, closely pursued by three of those having them its charge, and one of the white substi tute. 'When nearly opposite C. M. Koon's Grocery, some ten or twelve rods from the Hole!,-one of them fired a pistol at him, from about-four rods behind. Another shot was fired after running a few rods further—just before he reached the canal bridge below Wheoloek's store—neither shot took effect nor stopped the'fugitive negro. He and his pursuers-dashed through the toll gate and across the river bridge never stopping to pay toll, though hailed and commanded to do so, by the trusty guardian of that portal. The distance between the negro and his pursuers, was not materially lessened in the race across the bridge. The white substitute be ing ahead of all others, tried his hand at himaud fired two more shots at his fleeing brother soldier, neither taking effect. Upon arriving near Dr. Dana's residence the negro threw off his coat, and shoes, and ran into the woods, where for ten or fifteen rods a regular chase ensued and several shots were fired at htm ; one of them hitting him near the backbuiijpassed between the ribs into his right lung Still continuing to run, he was struek upon the head with the pistol, which was broken vo three pieces. 110 was then pushed or fell down, exhausted bleed ing and dying. To add still more to the atrocity of this crime, the murderer caught up a ciub lying near by, and beat him over the head. Another one of the party came up at this time, threw a stone at him cutting a severe giish in his head. Dr. Dana who waxon the spot, in a minute or two after, found him speechless ; and in a minute or two more he died. The murderers returned with apparent nonchalance, to town, where the whole par ty repaired to the Provost Marshal's office as it 6eetned, for protection against the indig nation of the citizens who by this time sur rounded the office. A warrant was imme diately procured, and they were lodged in jail to await examination. The Coroner summoned a jury of Inquest where the facts above stated were elicrted. Two of the parties arrested, who seemed to have no participation in the affair were re leased and the three directly implicated were on a slight hearing before the justice recommitted for trial. C3T The illncsa'o?one of in;r principal fouiposiiors ha? delayed us somewhat in get ting np onr paper and must excuse any deffi- X'oeiee in our isue of dav. rar Most of the older class of people will remember the story of the Fanner'and the Lawyer, about their rights with respect to the ox and the bull ; how in that instance 44 circumstances altered the case." Thelate murder committed in our midst has brought their case vividly to our minds. For the past three years we have observed a growing recklessness as to human rights, human prop erly, and human life, among those who claim to be " loyal" as against those whom they denounce as " disloyal." Daniel S. Dicken son, their mouth piece, boldly proclaimed their policy, when he said, " hang them (the disloyal) first; and look up the law after wards. ? The mobbing of democrats has been one of their favorite pastimes, A man in Springvilie who, it was claimed, was a deserter, was ahot down by them before the eyes of his wife and children. A man by the name of Masters in UvprOeld?%as shot down because he wou Id not answer t|*e imperti nent questions of Marshal Green. In a neighboring county, wo are told, quite a number of men attempting to desert; have been treated to cold lead. We have yet to fee the first abolition paper or speaker who has condemned these lawless acts. On the other hand we have hearc and seen the sen timents and acts applauded, justified, and approved, both by public speakers and by tho prcs*. No democratic speaker or press, has failed to condemn them over and over again It will be borne in mind that in all these cases, the injured parties were white men, and according to the modern definition of the term, either ''disloyal" or In the at tempt to evade the draf{. In short it is saiu they were '"copperheads." The negro, Holmes, who was sworn into the U.S. service, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the Government Jtc. j" and who afterwards otumpteu to run away, was according to this rule, " disloyal" a deeerter, lie was pursued and shot, as ma ny white men have been; and are being, every week. The law abiding, law observing men of the county felt that it was a most outrageous proceeding. A willful murder ; ard as fuch should lot go unpunished. Not that they loved the negro less, but lib erty more. They felt that it was one of the bitter fruits this abolition policy, bolsiered up by the maxim; inter armes silente leges." (An infamous doctrine for a peop'o governed by a fixed constitution and laws.) Does any man believe that these feelings prompted the abolitionists to such zeal as they manifested in bringing the guilty parties to justice ? Does any man believe, that if Marshal Green or any other of the satraps of old Abe Lincoln had pursued and Rilled a whde man —a democrat—a copperhead—if you please, under like circumstances, atteude ed as in this case with fiendish and brutal mutilation, of the body while dying, that these "Loyal" menjwould have condemned the act ? Does not their past conducts and teach ings show that thoy* would have justified and approved 't ? What then, is tho secret of this sudden conversion, this regard for a "dis loyal" fugitive ?Is it not that he was black Republican and not a "disloyal copper head." The 4th in Washington, The Washington papers bring to us the humiliating intelligence that on the 4th of July, the negroes of that city assembled in large numbers on the public grounds around the President's Mansion—and there guarded by white sentinels posted at the different gates,—arcund the sparkling fountains and beneath the cooling shades ola nation's paik, held high carnival—feasted and reveled under the smile and sanction of the ocupant of the White House. Within and around that city are thousands of wounded and languishing white men whose parched lips and fevered brows have uut the rich cold lemonade, nor the balmy cool shade there furnished to that motly crowd of re veling niggers. And but a few miles away from them, be heath the hot glare of Virginia suns, and in the stifling atmosphere of Virginia swamps, rendered still more horrible by the decaying corses of thousands of (heir comrades, toiled and fought the noblest of the land. No trees to shelter them —no cool river breezes to re fresh them—no fountains splashing tnusic on the air for them. Parched with heat and worn with toil—their hearts saddened by re collections of their noble cotnrads whose dead bodies filled every mile of that terrible march from the Rapidan to the Appomattox—visions of happy Fourths of July stealing over their minds—tins noble army of white men—the very flower of the land—were bur img them selves fruitlessly upon almost impregnable fortifications at the commands of a bead long and unreflecting leader, for what ? Ttiat the negro should have the privilege of enjoying himself socially and pieasurabiy on the 4th ! of July in the public grounds of the Nation's Capital. I Wc had thought that nigger songs on the bati'e field, and White House balls after bat tles almost within sight the mangled and bleeding forms of tho dead and dying, was strongest evidence of a nations humiliation and the deproved ta r tes of its abolition ru lers, but in this 4th of July negro carnival, beneath the shades of the White House, they have sounded a still lower depth of humau abasement. God save us fiom another such 4th of July. - ■ THE THREE GRACES OF SHODDY. — How ard of the Times, Stanton of the Tribune, arid Henderson of the Post, all have niches in the walls of F>rt La Fayette.— Albany Argus. Democratic editors are sent to Fort La Fayette but mere is a difference between the " order of their going" and that of the Shod dies, The former arc sent because of their po'Hica! opinions, but the latter are sent— ode for forgery , another for furnishing the enemy with contrabind goods, and a third for swindling *he Government. SOO OfiO Mora, The pnpirs of Yesuiday biing u° the gen uinc pr°clamation of old Abe calling for 500 00? mare soldiets lo serve for one year. If- Dot furnished in fifty days (by the sth of September ) a draft is to be made, The Ras cal Howard, was sent to Fort Lafayette for calling for a less number. Had not Lincoln ought to be invited to retire to the shades of Springfield ? We should not olject if all his emancipated niggers were included in the invitation. IT IS well to bring forward the similar sentiments of mem holding influential posi tions, expressed under other sircumstances. Mr. Davis waa certainly prophetic. Mr, Lin coln reminds us of Ilatael the Syrian, asking —"ls thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing U'.and went home and mur dered his master. EXTRACT FROM THE LA'ACCCRAL. ADDRESS OF ABRAHAM J..NCOLN, MARCH 4TH, IFG4. Suppose you go to war. you cannot fight always ; and when after much loss on both sides, and no gain on either, you cease fight ing, the identical questions as to terms of in tercourse are again upon you. This country with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amend ing, or their revolutionary right to dis member or overthrow it. EXTRACT FROM A SPEECH OF JEFFERSON DAVIS IN THE V. P. SIN AT F, JAN. 10, 1801. - Ifyou wiil not havo it thus ; ilin the pride of power, if in contempt of reason and reliance upon force, you say we shall not go but shall remain as subjects to you, then, gentlemen ef the North, a war is to he inau gurated,th • like of which men have not seen. Sufficiently numerous on both sides, in close contact with only imaginary lines of division, and vvitli many imams of approach, each sus tained by productive Sections, **h a people ot which will give freely both of money and of stores, the conflicts must be multiplied indeti nately ; and masses of men, sacrificed to the demon of civil war, will furnish hecatombs, such as the recent war in Italy did not offar. At the etui of all this, wdiat will you have ef fected ? Destruction up >n both sides ; sub jugation upon neither ; a treaty of peace, leaving both torn and bleeding ; the wail of the widow and the cry of the orphan substi tuted for tho e peaceful notes of domestic happiness that now prevail throughout the land ; and then you will agree that each is to pursue his separate course as best he may.— This is to be the end of w?r. Through a long series ol years you ma}' waste your strength, distress your people.and get at last to the position which you might have had at first, had justice and reason, instead of sel ti-hness and passion, folly and crime, dictated your course.— Boston Courier. A Herald correspondent from Sherman's army writes under date June 22 i . It is sad to contemplate the fearful suffer ings of the people, particularly th women and children in those parts of Georgia over which we have campaigned. As for the men, the young are in the rebel lines . trie old have fled to the woods.. Some few have ventured to remain at home ; these have fared the best. Our men have, in too many instances, burned d >wn the houses, destroyed their contents, driving the wretched inmates, homelc starving outcasts, to perish of cold and hunger. True, such fiendish acts are not tolerated ; but stragglers and hangers on. who bring up the rear of a larga army, da Btroying everything like a swarm of locusts, particularly when thev find houses deserted. I have met frenzied groups of affrighted, starving women ami children huddled togeth er in the woods, where uiany of them per*sh of cold and we t. Such sad pictures of old and young—gray haired matrons and timid girls—clinging together in hopeless misery may be imagined but cannot be described. The young lady who had a thousand acres of valuable land, which the young men said was sufficient ground for attachment., did not many as weil as the voi;i g lady without a fortnne, who had learned to dis card all kinds of Suleratus or soda,save Her rick Allen's Gold Medal, which lies no equal on this or the other Continent. Go ye. young ladies and do likewise, and Dame For tune will smile on you also. Everybody re tails it, and most of the wholesale Grocers, wholesale it. Depot 112 Liberty Street New York. Daiyiel Webster's Prophecy, Extract of a speech delireted at Faneuil Hull, March 7, 1850, l>y Daniel Webster, "If the infernal fanatics and abohnists ev er get power in their hands, they will over ride the Constitution,sef the Supreme Court at defiance, change and make laws to suit themselves, lay violent hands on those who differ with then in their opinions, or dare qu ration t heir infallibility, and finally bank lupt the country and deluge it with BLOOD.' It has now been two years since our army was going to take its " 4'h of July dinner in Richm< ltd." The soldiers have fought bravely, but the administration in a matter which they saiu could be ended in sixty days with seventy five thousand men, has failed though it has had near two mill ions. ARE YOU READY NOW FOR PEACE. —Two years ago.

Gil more, on Monday the 11th inst,— The tram from Baltimore to Philadelphia huving been seized and burnt about 20 miles from the former place, all soldiers were made prisoners—Mr. Sterling among them. At his request I write to inform you of the circumstances Myself and two others were released—being surgeons and sick. The other# were taken off, You need be under no apprehensions in regard to bis personal safaty, as his captors were inclined to treat the prisoners in as kind a manner as possi ble. Each officer was allowed to take what clothing they could carry ; and some few re trined their valuables. Mr. Sterling and all of them looked upon the affair in as cheer ful a light as possible, and departed in the best of spirits. T icy will probably either be exchanged or parolled. Lieut. Sterling entrusted me with a package, which he said was valuable. Would you sir : if you have an opportunity, of corresponding with him, inform him that it was forwarded ? If there in any other information that 1 Could impart I will do so. cheerfully. Please preserve my address, and request Lieut. Sterling, when he returns, to wri'e me, and oblige.

Th<* conscription law passed at the last session of Congress, authorizes enlistments from any Southern State. Tins has opened a brisk trade in substitutes. Negroes are brought North by the car load, and sold to persons who have been dratte-J, or who fra r the draft, at from S3OO to SOOO each- As only a small part of this amount is paid to the poor darky,the dealer makes a handsome thing of it,and if we are to believe the stories of republican papers, that negroes make bet ter soldiers than white persons, the govern ment is the gainer by the operation.
