GLORIOUS l'iiOSPIXTS.
Our c-iti.fta were Fomewhat
astonished ou Saturday evcniuir. by
hc.vinsr the constant roaiim; of
the cannon, near the oil well of our cs.
teemed and eiiterniisiiiLf fellow eitien
Judge lhekinsou. On repairing to
the spit, it was found that, after several
months labour he had succeeded in sink
ing a well to tho depth ot SI 3 feet,
having but litt le or no eno uraircnient
but hi own persevering and fixed opiu.
ion. li is motto wo believe was, "oil or
tea," and we have the pleasure of say
ing that he succeeded in the former and
willingly abandoned the later.
Many false statements han "one

of Klk county, but in tho present case, fJ'torial in a late Clearfield Picpublicau ged to bear his share of the public bur.

Camphell's 30,000 YVar Loan.
The Republicans are making a great
ado over tho Campbell subscription of
.?:10,000 to the war loan. This sounds
very patriotic indeed ; but their story
st.eis a little too so m. They forget to
tell the voters of Pennsylvania that t'.iis

placed in a'bettcr way ? Tho Republican
organs know that the tax payers of the
State furnih this annual sum to Mr.
Campbell, that they are the ones who are
burdened with the' nation's obligations,
while tho holders of these bonds are not
obliged even t pay a fas toward the
support of the Government. Wo advise
our Republican friends to say no more
about this loan busincs, as it requires but
a word to show how far a bond holder is
entitled to special regard as a governiiien'
contributor. S'ic'i patriotic deeds will

iust.. olheiaily informing me ot my nom.
inatioii lor Surveyor (general "by the
Democratic State Convention assembled
at llairisbuig on the 21th iost ," has
just been received. i
Nut ouly was this nomination unsought
an 1 unexpected on my part, but h id I
been consulted beforehand I would have
urged my friends not to introduce my
name into the Convention. Any hesi
tation, however, in now accepting,
might be construed int.. a want of an- i
pteeiation of the distinguished honor
conferred by the Convention, or a want j
id faith in the principles promulgated j
by it. I certainly feel neither. The
importance of tin posilio:i would h-ivo ,
been my chief reason for not soliciting!
it, and tiie resolutions adopted are but a j
practical appl'fl.ui ou to. iistiiigexige.ieies j
ot those ca'dinal principles which I have j
always conseiously maintained.
Accepting, therefore, this nomination ;
and it responsibilities, I lvuuiii, I
