TIE JuDoEsHrP.-A goodly degree Of
interest is being felt on the question Of
the Circuit Judgcship in our community.
As yet no candidate seems 10 have been
definitely settled upon by the people.
Should our Judicial District remain the
same rs at present, it is fair to presume
that the namo Of the present incumbent of
the judgeship will be presented before
the people for reelection. All are well ac
ouaintcd with tile administration Of Judge
Littlejohn and know the wisdom that has
characterized his decisions, and the legal
ability manifested on all abstruse qucs-
tons of law and equity, and kno,o him
to be we'll qualified for the position. On
the part of the republicans, we understand
our townsman, and late Prosecuting At
torney, Moses B. Hopkins, Esq, desires
greatly the high and honorable distinction
of Circuit Judge }, Can he get the
nomination or elections! Do the people
of our District consider him qualified?

Pittsburg Landing the evening before the
battle. They were stationed, or portion
of tho Regiment think, upon the right,

Soon after taking their position they saw
body of troops coming over a hill, near

superior force, yet contesting the ground
inch by inch. Backward they came un.
Ill the clash Of bayone,s and sabers was
distinctly heard, and the Federal uniforms

treating party were within about forty

Col. Lewis, Of the 2sth Wisconsin, is

He has there sufficient force to hold
the place. A gunboat, with sixteen Dahl
gren and Parrott guns, lies in the river
opposite the town. The rebels sank three
steamers in the stream just below tho
town, but they have been cleaned out so
boats can pass, if careful. The town H.

y"Thc Northumberland County Dcmocra

ey' The Northumberland County Democrat
of last week contains in small article on
the rioters of New York, the following mud
died paragraph, justifying the mob violence
of murdcrers, thieves and traitors;
"There is cause for this disregard cf lac
and sroe he 10 the men, pho, IN higher 'cdtks,
n.dcddomised roads, hare sopn the seed OF ma
tiondl ruin. and establishing a precedence
.frdugM acith incalculaJIe erils."
We publish the above paragraph, which
is in italics as beautiful specimen of trea-
con, bad grammar and nonsense, peculiar
Characteristic of the Breckenridge organ.
Our Breckinridge neighbor, among other
silly questions, asks if Valandigham 'ever
advocated mob law" proposed to "let the
Union Slide" and "turn rebel in the South"
We can only say chat he has been the in
stigator of violence and mob law for the
last three years, as has been the editor of
the democrat" by sympathizing, and Sc
cretly aiding the rebels, in creating dissen-
sensions and attempting to embarrass the
government, in the prosecution of the war;
If "he didn't turn rebel in the South" it
was because he had nothing 70 tn,m, having
been good enough rebel before he was
sent there. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that he encouraged, while there, the
rebel invasion of Pennsylvania, and the
raid of Morgan in Ohio. Our neighbor, no
doubt, will say he had right to do so
under the Constitution in order to punish
the Union men and Abolitionists, and elect
himslf Governor.

Immediately ordered them to be released
