Dear SIR II notice by
the Press that there are some persons already
forshadowing their purpose in the coming
NEST this fall. by commencing now to pre-
pare the public mind for the overthrow of
the Republican party by mushroom con-
Germ, styled the Union Party, Now it is
known that at least some of these persons are
the same ola fogies who, in former years,
were continually catching at something new,
and never sticking to any name or principle
long enough to concentrate the people on any
principle they had espoused. and consequent
ly kept the true men of principle disgusted
and dishearten ed with their continual vacil-
lation, andconsequently kept the party in the
minority, and never did we begin to assume
our true dignity, Importance and power as
party until yourself and few other men of
stability in each town and township deter>
mined to change this way of doing things,
and resolved to keep up their organization in
township and county election, as we'll as
State, the result of which has been that the
true men of all parties seeing the rectitude
of cur glorious principles, and their great su-
periority over the time-servipg platform
laid down by our opponents, have come over
to our standard until we have been enable to
carry those principles in triumph over all
opposition, and in connection with our party
elsewhere, just in time to save our country
from entire overthrow. l ask, shall we now,
for the especial benefit of few who have
placed themselves in bad position before
the community, now that our party has
shlwn to the country that it is the only true
Union party, and the only party that can
save the country from the power of dema-
gcgueism, rounded aristocracy," tyranny
and oppression, in word the only pa tY that
can restore permanent peace to the country
By crushing out reberlon-shall we, ask
now drop that party organization and adopt
another of which we know nothing, either of
principle or purpose? l answer-and the
people of Centre county will emphatically
an>wer, No! Such an arrangement NAV be
made in Bellefonte, and oy it defeat the par
ty in the county. Every man that l have
heard express himself on the subject. has on
ly spoken in condemnation of the project, and
will not consent thus to kill the party
but will sooner suffer defeat in defence of
their principles than join in the arrangement,
and . death" to the men that will enter into
such an arrangement for its overthrow. If
there are Democrats that want place let them
join the Republicans in their endeavor to re-
store the country to its original purity; but
if they are more welded to corrupt arty
than their country, let them jog on" and
i other men have made a mistake let them
show by hearty repentance that they were
deceived but in Heavens name let there be
no changing of party name or organization
now. A REPUBLICAN.

Hy~ On slave plantations women are re-
garded as chattles when bought and sold,
and as animals when fogged. The austere
deeencies which paganism observed in its
better days, are there set aside. A chapter
in Mr.. Olmstead's last book on the South
shows how he was accidentally WITH ess of a
scene one of the constant necessities of plan
tations, but seldom encountered by travel>
ers-e woman stripped ard fogged. We are
never surprised in hearing of any brutality
or barbarism toward toe slave woman, nOr
need we now be astonished at similar vio-
leuce offered the free white women by South
ern mobs, inspired by the Montgomery lead
erS. We consider it, therefore, no subject for
special wondar or indignation to learn, as we
do, through the Syracuse Journal, on the au-
thority of DR.. Martin McQueen. q native Of
Boston. of such an instance. DR.. McQueen
was forced out of San Antonio, Texes, for
his loyalty TO the Union. The day before he
came away, he saw woman from Boston,
Massachusetts, stripped naked ia the public
streets. tarred and featbered. and rode on a
rail around the public square, with Seces-
sicn flag on each side, a crowd conducting
the orgies. The same week Charles San
born, of Haverhill Mass, and Francis Kid
der. of Lawrence, Mass, weie hanged by a
mob The crime of the three was attach

Your reporter landed on the Virginia side
at Harper's Ferry at 2 P. NJ. and was the first
Union man who crossed there. found the
town nearly desulate Not military soldier
was visible, and only few of the poorer
classes were to be seen on the streets. The
best houses were all closed. John Browns
engine heuse and magazine and the armory
buildings were only partially burned.
Three cars loaded with grain and coffee for
Winchester, for lack of engines to haul them,
were emptied into the river on Friday and a
lot of cotton also. The cars were marked
Miller Rifles, Winchester Five trucks load
ed with machinery and pipes stand 10 front
of the hotel, marked Richmond Armory.-
Fifty flint lock muskets were thrown into the
river, and number of boys were busiIy en-
gagged fishing them out.
At the camp grounds in the rear Of the
town nothing was left of any value. The
town and surrounding country present the
most desolate appearance ever seen.
A physician who was tending the troops
say that about fifty of the Mississippi ard
Alabama men were down with the measles,
and will probably lose their hearing. They
were ordered to leave there twenty-i u hours
before they did, and one of Gen. Jonn SON s
staff said that the deral troops were going
TO take Winchester and fortify it to cut them
off. They would now 60 there and be rein-
forced from RicbDcnd, Near the buildings
that were burnt in April quantity Of mus
ket barrels were gathered in piles.
The accounts of the number IN the camp
vary from fifteen to twenty-five thousand. =
All were uniformed according to the fancy
end means Of the town they came from. No
side arms were allowed in the camp, except
in the case of commissioned officers. The
Kentucky and Mississippi troops said they
came there to fight, and were eager to go up
and iake Washington on their own account
| secured a lot of bayonets and pieces of
muskets as mementoes, and left at O'Clock.
The Inhabitants were rejoicing greatly
over the evasnation. A piece of Virginia
flag placed there in April still remains ON
the top of pole, as the rope is broken by
which it would be hauled down. No othe
flag of any kind is in the town.
A Captain Young cana down on the train
that left the Relay House at 9 oclo k, with a
sword and two trunks which, judging from
their weight, were no doubt filled with per-
cussion caps. He said at the Ferry that be
was going to Richmcni. lie bad Command

vice of the confe leracy.
At Point of Rocks sixty four cavalry ar
still reported to be across the Potomac. The
rear of the main body of troops was only ten
miles from the Ferry ct noon.

interruption of commerce, to enable the peo.
pie of this country to understand their in
trinsic power and resources, and to see how
foolishly for years past we have been vast
ing the substantial wealth of the land. We
have often remarked that America was, in a
commercial point of view, but great goose,
which laid golden eggs for the manuiactur-

that with greatly diminished exports, the

how vast might be the wealth and business
