County commissioner.

In setting up our editorial article, last week,
with regard to the County Ticket, that portion
of it which referred to Peter j. Little, Esq
our nominee for Commissioner, was accident
ally omitted. The omission was entirely IN
intentional. There is no man in the county,
whom We personally or politically esteem
higher than Mr.. Little. He is an accomplish
ed clerk, An excellent business man and thai,
possessed of strong, practical common sense.
The tax payers Of Cambria will be perfectly
safe in entrusting their interests, as affected
by the action of the County Board. to his
keeping At this time, when taxation is the
order of the day with the County, State and
United States, when four hundred million Of
dollars is regarded by Congress as scarcely
large enough sum, to place at the disposal
of his excellcncy, Abraham Lincoln, and his
worthy Secretary of War, Simon Cameron, for
putting down the Southern rebellion, the peo-
pie of Cambria owe it to themselves, to elect
rs Commissioner next fall, an honest, iDtelli-
gent, and practical man. who viii insist on an
economical administration of their County af-
fairs. Such man they have in Peter J.
Little, the Democratic nominee for Commits

majority such as his abilities and worth

United.

Since the Adjournment of the Democratic
Convention on Monday of last week, we have
received from every section of the county, the
most gratifying assurances, that Its action
gives universal satisfaction to the party. The
ticket will everywhere throughout the county
receive the united support of the Democracy,
and this of course will be sufficient to secure
its success. All past differences are now lin
the deep bosom of the ocean buried" and we
sincerely hope. there they will remain forever.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania, should at
once in every county in the State. unite and
present an unbroken front to the enemy. The
obvious efforts of the party now in power to
revive the old Federal organization. to ignore
the Constitution, undermine the Sovereignty
of the States and secure the establishment: of
consolidated military despotism, on the ruins
of the Union, should arouse every lover of
Constitutional liberty in the old Keystone, to
prompt, determined and energetic action -

merely an effort TO conquer th revoted States,
but also struggle for the preservation Of the
Union and Constitution, as they were trans
mitted to US by the sages and patriots who
have gone to their reward. Jefferson Davis
and bis followers, have violated the Constitu-
ton, and it is for this reason that we hear
them denounced on every hand as traitors,
and enemies of their country. 1t is this that
makes them rebels and outlaws. IF there vas

blood is borne on every breeze from the Ma

important then, that while resistance to the
enforcement of the Constitution IS being put
down, its letter and spirit should be rigiily
carried out by Lincoln and his Cabinet. This
the citizens of the loyal States should sternly
insist on. This alone will prevent the war

The Treasury and War Depart
nen1S,

1t is positively refreshing after reading the
weak and puerile production of President Lin
coin, which is given to the world as his mes
sage to Congress. to turn to the report of Mr..
Cameron, Secretary of War, and that of Mr.
Chase, Secretary of the Treasury. They are
both able and Statesmanlike documents, and
reflect great credit upon their distinguished
authors. We regret that we have not room
to publish them at present Our readers
must be content with brief synopsis. The
Secretary of War gives the following clear
and highly satisfactory statement, ,.of the pre-
sent condition of the Army:
Regulars and Volunteers for months
and for the War, 235, 900
Add to this SO regiments of Vol
unteers for the War, accepted
nd not yet in service, $4,000
Add new reg'tO of regular army, 25 900. rs 900
Total force now at com'd Of Govt, 10000
Deduct the months Volunteers, 10000
Force for service after the with
drawal of the months men, 100000
1t will thus be seen, says the Secretary,
that after the discharge of the three months
troops, there will still be an available force of
volunteers, amounting to ISS. 600. which add
ed to the regular army, will constitute force
of go, 600 officers and men. 1t will be for
Congress to determine whether this army shall
at this time be increased by the addition of a
still larger force. In making appointments
OF officers for the new regiments, the rule has
been adopted of selecting one half of them
from the regular army, and the other halt
from civil life. Of the civilians appointed as
reginiental officers, all, except one, are either
graduates of West Point, or have before
served with distinction in the field; and of
the LIeutenants. Colonels, Majors, Captains
and first Lieutenants, large proportion have
been taken from the regular army and the
volunteers nov in service. while the second
lieutenants have been mainly created by the
promotion of meritorious Sergeants, from the
regular army. This is the testimony of ST.
non, and We presume his testimony is true
