CANDLES SOLD BY ACTUAL WEIGHT
-. is well known that many Star Candles that
are really seven to the pound are branded and sold
n " sixes.n There is a dizadUa1.taaa ar1 . laa-
II the Candles are bought at reduction OF cents
per Ib from the price of the regular article Thus
A box of " SKIES" short 1oeight, contains $40
Candles, and is sold for 40 lbs, say at lSc
per 10 w
A box of Sevens containing the same num-
ber of Candles, size, s sold for 81
lbs, actual weight, at 70 cents............. 80
Difference in favor of buying weight.......... 40
And this differences becomes greater as the price
advances. It is obvious that the retailer can get
no more for his 24O candles in than in
other, consequently, every hundred boxes of
short weight he sells, he loses forty dollars.

Rrnral if not Legal Treason.

We commend to the attention OF the
Prosecuting Attorney and Grand Jury the
following extracts from the New York
Day Book, a pretended democratic paper,
which, if not in the pay of the Southern
conspirators, is, to say the least, advocating
the most reasonable sentiments Pack
ages of this paper are industriously distrib-
utcd throughout this county. 1t is time
for the proper authorities to look after this
matter and see whether those engaged IN
circulating such documents are not trans
cending their duty to their country and VI
olating the allegiance they owe our gov
ernment and its institutions-tor, II 1t Is
not checked, less than prophet can fore
tell that the day is not distant when the
hopes of the conspirators that civil dlssen-
sions in the North will arise to aid their
cause, will be realized, and the horrors OF
civil war transferred to our own valleys.
If such sentiments are not "aid and COM
fort" to the enemy, what are they? Here
are the extracts
THE secession of State or a number of
States, leaves society safe, and popular free
dom secure"
'Our position, as a nation, is that priya-
tcering is simply the volunteering system of
warfare applied to combat upon the OCEAN
\ privateer is no more a pirate than land
volunteer bandit"
"The south cannot be subiugated and no
one but fool or a madman can suppose such
a thing. They are people who, in bravery,
craftsmanship and energy, are unsurpassed,
if equalled, upon the face of the earth. And
more than that, Southern men are democrats,
free men, with the largest individual liberty
of any people in christendom. The southern
democracy have hitherto saved the govern
ment. If we are cut off from the Jeffers0ns
and Jacksons, the Ddvises and Hunters, and
Masons and Tylers, of the south, there is
then no hope for the Republic"
'It was in Maryland that freedom began
its march on this continent, and now what
do we see after seventy FIVE years have elaps-
ed? sight which pal ainfully reminds US of
the mutability Of human affairs. We see
soldiers from other States encamped upon
the sacred soil of Maryland, with their bayo,
nets at the throats of the Calverts, the How
ards, and the Carols Of Maryland. What a
commentary upon our Fathers" doctrine of
State Sovereignty. What a stupendous lie
it makes even of the constitution itself"
eff we could effectualy maintain a ten
years blockade Of the south, she would be
all the time developing her resources and
rendering herself more independent, while
universal bankruptcy and a total destruction
of public and private credit would prevail
with US. 1t will be easy for fanatics and
madmen to sneer at all this, but it is never
theless a truth which we shall terribly real
ize when it is too late to save either the I'm
ion or ourselves The time will come when
our children, Will not be blinded by passion
as we are, will blush for US and curse our
memory for being engaged in this WICKED
AND UNHOLY WAR against the south"

The Manassas Battle.

The accounts given by correspondents
of the Southern papers OF the battle near
Manassas Junction show how victory at
one tune trembled in the balance, and that
it was only the better gcneraIship of the
Conaedcratcs that finally decided tin their
favor ''Se De Kay" the correspondent Of
the Louisville Courier, in his account Of
the fight, says:
The fortunes Of the day were evidently
against Us. Some Of our best officers had
been slain, and the flower Of the army lay
strewn upon the field, CHASTITY in death, or
gaping with wounds. At noon the cann0na
ding is described as terrific. 1t was an in
cessant roar for more than two hours, the
havoc and devastation at this time being fear
full Mcdowell lcjM the aid Of FaterSoB's s
dicision Of 10000, had nearly outfanked US,
and were Just in the act of possessing them
selves Of the railway to Richmond. Then all
would have been lost. But most opportune-
". | NAV say Providentially, at this juno
ture, Gen. johnson, with the remnant of his
division--our army, as we fondly call it, for
we have been friends and brothers in camp
and field for three months reappeared, and
made one other desperate struggle to obtain
the advantage ground. Elsy's brigade of
Marylanders and Yirginians led the charge,
and right manfully did they execute the
work. Gen. johnson himself led the ad-
vance, and, wild with deIirium, his ten thcus-
and advanced in hot haste upon three times
their number. Twice was Sherman's bat
tery that all day long had proven SO destruc
tive, charged and taken and our men driven
beck. The third time, Firgnians, Carolini-
ans, Mississippians, and Louisianians captur-
ed the great guns and maintained their posi-
ton.
"Se De Kay" is in error in s1pposing
that Patterson's division was in the fight,
but his account shows that had the reserves
under General Miles, which were at Cen
treville, been promptly brought up at the
moment when the Confederates were wa
rering and almost hopeless, or had General
Patterson held Johnston in check, the his
tory of the field would have been altogeth-
er different one Concluding his ac-
count of the fight, the correspondent says ::
This is a sad day. The rain is pouring in
torrents. The killed and wounded are being
brought in by hundreds, and gloom per
vades all hearts, that even the sense of cur
GREAT victory cannot relieve.

Rg~ About the time of the bombardment
OF Fort Sumter the Democrat proclaimed
that if war would break out it would be
a republican war, and now it occasionally
squints at its being democratic one. 1t
is certainly the latter in the South, for ev-
cry prominent traitor there was of that
school It's most recent effort was made
last week in publishing statement made
BY fellow who styles himself q Lieuten-
ant Zerenburg" of the First Minnesota,
that there were but two republicans in the
regiment His statement is an unqualified
talsehood, known to be so by persons here,

General Patterson.

We had hoped ere this some satisfactory
explanation would have been made of the
course pursued by Gen. Patterson previous
to the battle at Manassas, but except few
labored articles in partizan sheets nothing
has been published calculated to throw light
on his movements The rebel accounts all
agree that johnson had been sending off
his troops from Winchester for three days
previous to that battle, and could not there
fore have had the strength represented
and we doubt whether he had at any time.
As the Democrat has undertaken to make
defence Of his conduct, we give the fol-
lowing from the welliniormed correspon-
dent Of the New FORK Times:
The official dispatches to Gen. Patterson
will show that the entire blame for the defeat
Of our forces at Bull Run i due entirely to
his neglect Of positive orders. lie was direc-
ted-frst, to engage and defeat JuhnsUn; Sec
ond, if unable to engage Johnson, to get be-
tween him and Manassas and prevent june
ton uf his forces with Beauregard's third,
if unable t. fulfil either of these orders, be
was to harrass johnson III ir.l.t, and keep
him before Winchester fourth, ii he could
do neither Of theso things, then he was to
make all haste TO Washington, and join Nc
Dowell as soon IS johnson could join Beaure
gard. 1t will he seen that Gen. Patterson dis.
regarded each Of these orders, and that, had
he ebeyed either he would have prevented
the disaster at Bull Run. and at unce have ut
| terly destroyed the rebellion, or removed the
seat of war beyond the confines of Virginia" F"
When Gen. Patterson or his friends are
able and do refute such statements as these,
we will give them the benefit of the refuta-
ton, but until this is done, the General is
bound to be regarded as having neglected
to do that which every one believed he
was sent to do, namely, at tie least to hold
johnson in check His marching and
countcrmarching in Virginia, if this was
not his object, were mere farces which any
cornstalk militia general could have as well
accomplished.

A TICKET.

The Breckinridgers, although apparent
ly in the background, had pretty much
their own way in the delegate meetings,
as we'll as in the county convention, and
the result was the nomination Of ticket

as could we'll have been selected The Sc
lection of the two ez tavern Keepers for
associate judges, tavern keeper for treas
urer, and the prescription Of Douglas dem
ocrats-onght to have had their folly eli
NAKED by the recommendation of some
tavern keeper for President Judge.
There was no effort made that we know
Of to avoid party feeling this fall, but on
the contrary some of those nominated are
known to be tainted with a Southern SYM
pathy, partaking rather largely of the New
York Day Book school While some of
the nominees are-pcrhaps it would bet
ter to say were-estimable enough as pri-
Vate citizens, the circumstances under
winch they were nominated, will ensure
their defeat by large majority The
nutterings already rise from all quarters,
and will increase to thunder long before
the election
Having thus rejected all offers of COM
promise, made to them on behalf of
the Peoples Party, it now only remains for
that party to place before the People tick
ct composed of good citizens and sound
Union men, aud the contest will then be
"The Union, the Constitution, and Obe-
dience to the Laws, vs. the aiders abettors,
defenders, and apologists Of the iniquities Of

DeA~Congress adjourned on Tuesday,
having passed all the bills necessary for
prosecuting the war and maintaining the
government.
Congress has enacted law increasing
The pay Of the soldiers from eleven 10 ff-
teen dollars per month, which comes up
more to the standard Of justice, and also
affords additional inducements to volunteer.
1t appears, by an examination of the
two volunteer bills, one being supplement
tai to the other, that the President has the
power to call one million men in the field,
although that extent Of authority was not,
1t Is believed, designed. tits not thought,
therefore, that more than 100000 will be

named in this county, and as the nomination
was Welded to Union county ten years ago.
Mfflin or Snyder would seem to be entitled
to it now. Mr.. WIS fitness for the post, being
an able lawyer and fearless man, is unques

would see to the proper administration of

ventiorl therefore give him suitable endorse
ment by sending conferees who will advocate
his nomination. X.
