nominated him "entirely unexceptionable,
emiEently patriotic and worthy of universal
support" To adopt bis own language at
this meeting, he is for the Union, one and
inseparable, now, and forever. and if neces-
sary to sustain it. for the expenditure Of the
last dollar, and the sacrifice of the last man."
His selection by the great Mass Cons
vention, composed of the best men of
both parties, and from all parts of Lycom-
ing County. is the best endorsement of his
private and public character, that could be
given, and further comment by us is unnec-
essary- His election by an overwhelming
majority, may be confidently predicted.
When Will This Rebellion End =?
Tomorrow, if tie Rebels lay down their
arms. 1t is a matter entirely for the traitors
themselves to decide, and we firmly believe
that if there bad been no Sympathy shown
for this outbreak by northern sympathsers,
it would have ended as Secretary Seward
predicted, in sixty days from its origin and
development. Its main strength and en-
couragement came from the traitors in the
north. 1t was encouraged to arms by prom
ises of assistance from the north, while the
very arms now in the hands of the rebels,
were either the voluntary contribution Ct
northern political allies, or stolen from the
forts and arsenals of the country during a
democratic administration by democratic
officials. The question then, of when this
war is to end. must alone be answered by
the rebels. So far as the government is con-
cerned, and knowing the loyalty of those who
support and rally around the government,
we can safely declare that the war will news
er be ended, except in the manner. we have
stated, the complete subjugation of the south
or the utter destruction of the powers of this
government, military and civil. There can
be no peace between these states until the
federal authority is restored upon every foot
of their territory. There can be no order in
this Union until all the laws Of the land en-.
forced among all the laws of the nation
When all this is done, the war will end -
Until it is done, the armies of the govern
melt will be rallied for its achievement,
and a battle will be fought whenever there
is rebel host to dispute their progress or
deny the authority they now seek to outrage
and disgrace, lay down their arms and re-
turn to their former peaceful pursuits, the
war will end, order will be restored to soce>
ty, security will return to business, ahd the
Union once more assume its proud position
before the nations of the world To talk of
peace, and all this still unaccomplished, is
to make mockery Of the genius offree gov
ernment. To talk of Compromise, is forev-
er to destroy the force and power ana ma
iesty of the law. There will be no peace un-
til traitors are punished to the full extent of
the law, and when this is done the war will
end.-Ha,ris6urg Telegraph.

The markets are generally firm and healthy,
with no important sales since the election. The
immense Union vote has dispersed ali fears of
any domestic disturbance and there is every pros
pect of an early and profitable fall trade.

The United States MAJ shall. yesterday, seized
the ship Henry Bringbam, which had just arrived
from Liverpool. He also seized 200 tons of coal
ou board, which were shipped on the owners ac-
count, as we'll as the freig .he balance of the
cargo, consisting of upwards of 500 tons Of coal
The ship is owned by non-residents, the brothors
Lathrap, of Savannah, Ca, though in the Ameri-
can Lloyds she is registered wned by Natmale r
& Mulford, of that place. She was built in 1851 !,
by B. S. Sprague 6 Co., of Boston. and was
then named the Telegraph While at Savannah,
in 1859, she was burned and there re built, when
her name wos changed to the name she now be lrs.
She is clipper model, registered 900 tons, and
her value estimated at $4,000. Her 200 tons car
go, and freight money the balance, after pay
ing seamecs wages, and probably captains wages
also are confscated.
The ship Benefactor was alse seized, on the
ground that oHe-eigbth of the vessel is owned by
parties residing in virginia. She was, however,
promptly released on filing the proper bonds at
the Custom House. Seven-eighths of this ship
are owned by Lowe Brothers, of New York, and is
now under charter to sail for China, carrying a
large and valuable cargo.
The steamer Caraie Ladd arrived at Portland,
September I'd, bringing $4,000 in gold dust from
the Nez Perces mines The Indians are reported
peaceable, and the recent alarm sounded about
the danger of Indian hostilities ON large scale
is evidently an exaggeration.
The correspondent of the Doll Mountaineer says
it is demonstrated beyond dispute that the whole
region of country embraced between the Cascade
and Rocky Mountains is one vast gold field, and
only required development to revolutionize that
entire coast. An area of 80, 900 square miles has
been fciently prospected to Establish the exis-
tence of mineral wealth Exploring parties have
been fitted out for the Elk country and Bit
Rooc valley, where large pr spects are antcipa-
ted. The near approach of winter renders post
ponement of emigration to that quar- ter advisable
but in the spring these viii probably be another
gold rush

THE KEYSTONE REGIMENT.

This regiment, now organizing at the buildings
of the old Pennsylvania Bank, promises to make
one of the most efficient of the Pennsylvania Reg
iments accepted into the service. Its officers are
Colonel, Peter A. Wise, of Williamsport, Pa
Lieut.. Colonel, E. R. Badger, of Philadel phia
Major, Jno, H. Slower, of Bellefonte, Pa, all m en-
of military knowledge and experience. When
President Lincoln, in April last, made his requsi-
ton for volunteers, Major Stover was prostrated
on bed of sickness. Believing that " sick" was
"played out" and against the positive dvice of
his physician, he raised company, and proved
one of the most active officers the upper Poto-
mac. Although sacrificing large business inter>
ests, being District Attorney of Centre county, he
feels it his duty not to leave the service in this
the hour of his country's peril. and we think the
officers of the Keystone Regiment did wisely in
electing him to the important efice of NJ jor.

MULLIGAN'S MEN FIFTY-NINE HOURS
WITHOUT WAFER.
Hun SON, Mo-, Sept.

HUDSON, Mo-, Sept %.
The fort was surrounded or Friday afternoon.
The men fought for forty nine hours without water
and had only three barrels of vinegar to quench
their thirst
There are no wells or springs on the camp ground
as has been stated, the supply of water being en-
tirely from the river
There were breas.works all around the camp
with the exception Of the portion next the river
1t was heIe that that the hardest fighting done
The rebels procured large number of hemp
bales and rolled them in advance and under their
cover gradually succeeded in securing a position
in the rear. They the cut off the supply of water
and lad the fort completely surrounded.
They made but few charges upon the breast
works during the seige. Their object was to
round the fort and cut of the supply of water.
Having accomplished this they ewaited until
Col Mulligan was compelled to yield to foe more
terrible then the $4,000 rebels who surrounded
him. Previous to the surrender he offered to take
a position on level spot Of ground and give Gen.
Price the odds of four to one in fair and open
fight, but no attention was paid to it.

FRANKFORT, Sept. Ig.
War is declared. The Legislature o-day ado2-
ted resolutions inviting Gen. Anderson to take
command of the department of Cumberland, and
also passed resolutions that the invaders must be
expelled that Gov. Magoffn must call out sufi-
cient force to do it, opposing the confscation of

If the Governor refuses to approve the resolu-

Very affecting speeches were made, and the
tears flowed freely.
