Pennsylvania are true to the Union, and

"GOne Glimmering."

The Republican papers say that all party
distinctions are sin the deep bosom of the
ocean buried" They tell US that they are
Republicans" no longer and we must be
Democrats no longer. AS 10 the latter part
of this proposition, we can on only say that
we will thirk about it. We rather think,
however that we can't be caught with such
a suspicious looking bait, AS TO the former
part, VIZ; that they are no longer Republi-
cans, we have not the least doubt. They
never called themselves by the same name
long enough 10 give the public chance 10
convict them of their misdeeds, always as
sumng an alas when charged with the ini-
quity they had wrought. The evils brought
upon the country through their organlza-
ton have effeciually broken up Republi-
canism, have literally annihiated their par
ty, and the scattered elements now discard
the odious name IN order TO re unite under
some taking Gids The Republican party
is defunct. 1t has committed suicide. Lin
coin and the office seekers have attended

sus Assertions. Salt-Rheum, Scurvy, etc.
An officer OF the New York Pol-e Force
doing duty in The upper part OF the city,
whose name we suppress al his own re-
quest, was for many years afflicted with
salt-rheum in the hands, for which he tried
numberless remedies without success-ihe
disease increased and finally became so
bad that he could neither close his hand
nor grasp his baton without experiencing
the most intense pain-he was on the point
Of resigning his situation and seeking ad
mittunce to Bellvue Hospital, when he was
advised 10 try Holoway's Pills and Oint-
ment. He did so, and by perservering in
their use the disorder quickly disappeared
and he now enjoys sound health. This IS
but one out of thousands OF cases.

Lieutenant Bigler.

We noriced, on Friday, when the volun-
teer company from Clearfield county, com
manded by Captain Lorraine passed our
office, that the first Lieutenant is The second
son of ex Governor Big!er. On the evening
of the same day we had the pleasure of
shaking by the hand Lieutenant Bigler, who
is splendid specimen of the genus homo
He stands six feet one and half inches IN
his stockings, of prepossessing appearance
and address, with intelligence and mani-
ness. He is about twenty three years OF
age, and says he has made up his mind TO
60 for three years, TO do his whole duty to
his couniry.
From our knowledge OF the character of
Lieutenant John Bieler, we know that he
will acqnit himself in manner that will
add new honor to the name of Bigler in
Pennsylvania We notice in several papers
a statement that The Governor has son in
the service. This is a mistake. Governor
Curtin has no son old enough 10 do duty as
q soldier, and our purpose 10 this notice of
Lieutenant BigIer is TO correct this mistake.

foreigners, in proportion to the population,

There are sUme five or six companies COM

There are also several German companies,
and scarcely a company has arrived here

mention that we have noticed Englishmen
and Frenchmen in some OF the corps.
The fact should in itself be sufficient 10

the petty plea that "America was for the
Americans These demagogues, many of
whom are now in snug positions, enjoying
the sweets of office, kindly condescend 10

fighting Never lei Us hear anything more

AFFAIRs AT HARPER's FERRY.
SHORT OF PROVISIONS AND ARMS.
NO BATTERY ON MARYLAND HEIGHTS.

HARRIsBuRG, May IA person employ
ed on special service, who visited Harper's
Ferry last week, reached Chambersburg to-
day, and reports that there were then about
5000 troops there altogether. Abou: three
fourths of them were armed, and mostly
well armed, but The balance were without
arms. Only 200 Kentuckians were there,
and but one company of South Carolinians.
The resident militia of Harper's Ferry were
very restive under the existing circumstan-
ces. They had only one days provisions
on hand. their supplies expected from
Western Virginia being cut off by the stand
taken by the people of that section OF the
State. 1t was thought that the supplies
anywhere within reach in the surrounding
country must be exhausted within weeks.
1t is positive that not more than 1000
stand of arms were got out of the wreck of
The arsenal buildings, and some of these
were in bad condition Not more than
twelve rifles can be manufactured per day
in the shops in operation. There are only
600 men on the Maryland side of the Poio-
mac; they have not erected any batteries on
this side Of the river and show no disposi-
tion to erect any. They must reat or be
provisioned. This, however, does not
contradict the probable advance of the main
sylvania route, when Jeff Davis discovers
the impossibiity Of breaking General Scott IS
lines around Washington.
