The blow or the bullet which dealt death
to Col. Cameron, deprived the country of one
who adored its glory and was devoted to its

knew him best, will not refuse to yield to
bis memory this just need of praise; and
even those who were the least acquainted

The Editors cannot conceive how to look
those honest potriotic men in the face after
abusing the cause for which they were fght~

Republican wal" Old Abe Lincoln's war;
&c., &c., are some OF the expressions used by
this paper in regard to the war. Now as we
before said fearing the indignation of the
returning soldiers, they seek by hypocracy,
and lying to shift the responsibility upon the
Centre DEMOCRAT and Central Press. You
cannot do it Gentlemen. You cannot row
cover up your half-heartedness in support of

You have written record against yourselves

Death of Col. James Cameron.

In the midst of the congratuation and
enthusiasm created by the triumph of the
federal forces yesterday, during the battle of
BULBS Run, the announcement of the death
of Col. James Cameron, of the New York
Seventysninth (Highland) Regiment, cast .
deep gloom over the city OF Harrisburg, and
filed the hearts of his friends and relatives
here with that poignant sorrow felt only
when the gallant andt he brave are cut down
while serving their country and their race.
Col Cameron was a native Of PeDusylya-
mia, the next oldest brother Of the Secretary
OF War. lie was born, we believe, in May
town, Lancaster county, learned the printing
business, and studied law with Ex-Presi-
dent Buchanan in Lancaster city. In the
profession of the law, he had but little taste
or inclination to its dull routine Of business
but was particularly brilliant and powerful
as journalist, in which carcity, had he di'
reeted the energies that be afterward
brought to bear in positions where it wa
no; possible for him to gain distinction, nj
usn in this country could have boasted ;
ieirer reputation than that which Jame
Cameron mig hit have achieved with his pen

Col. Cameron was appointed superintendent
of motive power on the Philadelphia ant

The home of the brave and the free.
The shrine of each patriots devotion.
A world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates makes heroes assemble.

When borne by the red, white, and blue.

The ark then of freedoms foundation,

When SO proudly she bore her bold crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,

ness and generally debility there is nothing
like it; it will strengthen, exhilerate, create an
appetite at once, regulate the bilious system, aid
digestion, and in short, restore the weakened or

valuable Tonic Cordial should be in the hands
of every invalid and in every family. Reader,
try it.

discovery of cure for Rheumatism, Gout
and Neuralgia, and all Mercurial Diseases, which
is effected without the use of internal medicines
which destroy the constitution and give Temporal

edy effecting perfect cure, and we feel warran--
ted, from its recommendations, in calling the at
tention of the afflicted and those having friends
suffering from Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia or,
the pernicous effects of Mercnry, to the advsr-

1t was the remnant of the Fire Zouaves
that was attacked by the Black Horse Cav

them to return. This gallant regiment now
numbers but couple of hundred.
tits probable that the number of killed
and wounded is magnifed, by the large mum
Der who are missing probably wandering
through the woods.
1t is represented in many quarters that the
Ohio Regiments shared the greatest conster-
nation, probably from the want or confidence
in the officers. 1t is.knowu that on the day
previous TO the battle large number pub
liclY protested against being led by General
Schenck. 1t was only through the importu-
mites of Col. McCook, in whom they placed
confidence, that they were prvented from
making more formidable rebellion.
The Pennsylvania Fourth was not in the

Of the battle, their time of service having ez-
Lired.
1t was known to our troops at the time of
the battle yesterday, that johnson had form
ed a connection with Beauregard on the night
of the first action at Bulls Run. Our men
could distinctly hear the cars coming in to
ManassasJunction and the cheers with which
the Confederates hailed their newly arriving
comrades. They knew that the enemy was
cur superior in numbers and In their own
position.
These facts were further confirmed by pr:s-
oDers taken, deserters and spies, bat were
not probably knnwn at Washington, and the
officers, in leading our men into action. only
obeyed orders.
Gen. Scheuch, as well as other field Off
GERS, acted admirably. He collected his for
ces and covered their retreat, aud up to the
last minute, was personally engaged in the
endeavor to rally his men to make stand
at Centreville.

The estimated number of killed and woun-
ded al the battle Of Yesterday, is gradually
decreasing by arrivals from the woods and
surrounding country. Six hundred of the

the First Michigan Regiment, acting Briga-

A gentleman from the Valley of Virginia

Thursday noon, and reached Manassas juno

force of 10000 strong. He left behind only
his sick, to the number of 1900.
1t was orfidently asserted at Winchester
that General Johnston and Col. Hunter were
killed at the Junction, and it was rumored,
but not confirmed, that Gen. jackson was
also killed.

The Next Treasurer.

The people have right to say who shall
be their public servants, and it is, therefore,
| for them to decide who shall be the next
County Treasurer. The people of Milesburg
and Bald Eagle Valley beg leave to recon-
mend to their fellow citizens of Centre coun-
| ty. G. 6. Ryman, as candidate for that of
| fee. Mr.. Ryman is reliable man in every
sense of the word. Starting as he did, a poor
boy, without friends, without money, with
out what some people call good name, he
has made for himself the proud character Of
reliability, integrity and the strctest homes
~ of purpose in all bis dealings with his fell
low mep.
He has always been one of the strongest
and most energetic friends of the RIGHT, and
we bold that he deserves fr ON his party the
highest reward. Take care of your working
men, is a good motto for any party, but more
especially the Republican, which claims to
be, and really is, the poor mans party, in ia.
vor of free homes, free labor and free speech.
IF the workingmen OF Centre county would
honor themselves, and make out for them-
selves place and power, we hold that instead
of being devided by party politicians they
should stick together and vote for men oftheir
own class By so doing they will soon have
their wrongs made right. and their own
claims to posts of honor and profit acknowl-
| edged by those who now ignore them. We
hope that the claims of Mr.. Ryman will not
be overlooked in the Convention by the wcrk-
| ingmen, farmers and mechanics of Centre
county. BALD EAGLE VALLEY.
| ESgs The movements of the Secretary OF
War, as will be seen by the following paras
graph, which we clip from the accoust Of the
battle of Bull Run, in the New York EUenins
Post of last night, are prompt and extensive,
and perfectly characteristic of the vigorous
labor of the man:
"Much to the surprise of all, the Secreta~
~ of War arrived at Bull Run this (Satur-
| day. morning, having left Washington last
evening and halted for the night at or near
Fairfax Court House. He came attended by
nne or two officers, and by hazardous route.

Mcdowell, Gen. Tyler and Gov. Sprague, he
