g9- The "OppOsition" papers in North
Carolina are very severe on the "Fire-
Eaters and original Secessionists," who.
according to the utterances of the special
organ of Gov. Vance, the Raleigh Stand
ard, will never be allowed hereafter to
hold any Office Of honor or trust whatever
In nNorth Carolina. From the same source,
it appears that JEFF. Davis has been given

A BLooDLEss DUEL AND A MURDER.

"A Falmouth correspondent says -
It is not often that we have to chronicle
duels here. a sided affair of the kind
came off yesterday morning at six O'Clock,
in French's Division. I'd Corps. On the
night previous Capt. Fuller of the 106th
New York became somewhat elated by
whiskey, and slapped the face of Lieut..
Porter of the same regiment. The latte.
challenged him, and was on the ground
with a pistol and second at the appointed
hour. Fuller also appeared, but stated
that be was unable to borrow pistol or
procure second "That need not inter
fere," said Porter, owe will toss up for
the first fire. You being the challenged
party, may select the number of PAGES"
The tossing ensued, and Fuller won. He
then chose four PAGES. ait will De moth
ing less than murder" said Porter, 'but
lever mind, blaze away" Inserting his
hands in his pockets, he then quietly faced
his antagonist.
Fuller fred on one side into the ground
and the matter ended. This was blood

hearing this, proceeded Immediately with

Two UNION MEETINGs.-A tremend-
Gus gathering of the friends of the Union
and the Constitution was held at the Court
House on Wednesday evening of last
week, at which not less than six hundred
persons could have been present. Ad-
dresses, patriotic, thorough and convinc-
ing, were delivered by Hon. SAMUEL
CALVIN, of Hollidaysburg, and j. G.
MILES, Esq, of Huntingdon, upon whose
burning words of genuine loyalty the au-
dience hung with enrapturcd enthusiasm.
Another meeting was held at the same
place on Monday evening of this week,
when and where Hon. JOHN SCoTT, of
Huntingdon, spoke. Mr. SCOTT is
Democrat by birth and education, and his
address was mastery effort. He spoke
from the record, proving conclusively that
the yALLsNDIGHAM Democracy of to day
are not what the Democracy Of the old
JACKSON stripe were, but, on the contrary,
that they have strayed far from the faith
20 the paths of wickedness. Hewas rap
turously applauded throughout, and his
sentiments found hearty re-ccho in every
honest loyal heart.

Ou our HiSt paSo lo-udJ VIC Piihe ooAAS
remarks delivered by r. L. JOHNSTON,
Esq, of Ebensburg, at the Copperhead
Indignation Meeting held ut Huntingdon
on the 10Th ult. The speech as there
given is Of course only an abstract of what
he said-Mr. j., as a general rule, is too
remarkably long-winded to permit any
speech of his to be crowded into the col
umns of country newspaper. Which is
unfortunate, for, when the abstract prove
SO highly interesting, what would we not
give for uninterrupted access to the en-
tire.y!
As usual, Mr.. J. starts out with few
witticisms. The one relating to Copper
heads always coming forth in warm wealth
er has been aired inside our county limits
at least dozen times to our knowledge,
without any special result. 1t seems,
however, to have been new and apprecia-,
red in Hunting gdon, for we read that it
was hailed with tremendous cheers"
So with regard to the diminutiveness of
the State of Rhode Island-the fling is
indeed "thricc told tale"
Mr.. j. attempts to demonstrate that
the Democracy may be loyal to the Con-
stitution, and yet not sustain the Admin
istrstion in its efforts to put down the
Rebellion. We deny that the Democracy
are loyal to the Constitution. That In
strument expressly declares that "Treason
against the United States shall consist
only in levying war against them, or in
odsering to their enemies, 9sring hens aid
and COMFORT" Who can deny that the Nor
thern Democracy, by its factious and
trucking course during the present strug-
gle, has been and is now atfording "aid
Every meeting held having for its object
the denunciation OF the war, every resolu-
tion passed maligning the Administration
for this, that or the other act of commits
sion or omission, every word or paragraph
uttered tending toward the distraction
and decentralization of public sentiment In
erish our cause, and in a corresponding
manner strengthen that Of the Rebels
Clearly the democracy are not loyal to
the Constitution, otherwise they would
not thus afford aid and comfort to the
sworn enemies of the Government
Wherefore, seeing that they are not loyal
10 the Constitution, where is the necessity
of splitting hairs as to the truth or falsity
of the proposition upon which he bases
his argument
Mr.. J. makes use Of an extract from
speech delivered by Senator DOUGLAS
before the breaking out of the Rebellion,
10 show that the restoration of the Union
is hopeless. Let u, reproduce few
words from that lamented patriots Chica-
20 speech-the last he ever made-deliv-
cred after war had been leYied upon us.
He says: "The conspiracy (to break up
the Union) is now known. Armies fiaye
been raised war is levied to accomplish
it. There are only two sides to the ques.
,tion. Every man must be for the United
States, or against it. There can be no
neutrals in this war-only patriots aud
traitors. The government must
be maintained, it's enemies overthrown,

THE RESERVE FRONTIER GUARD
Gov. Curtin has received from the Secre-
tary of War directions to form Volun-
teer force Of fifteen regiments, of which
five will be cavalry, designed, it is under
stood, as defence for the State border
in any contingency of raids. The Gov
we believe, has long desired to organize
such force and, now tnat he is author
lied, will make every effor: to secure its
early completion. We shall, therefore,
before very long, have in The field val
liable reserve force sufficient for State
defence and convenient to the General
Government, in case of need. We know,
from the lessons of the war, what would
be the worth of such standing assurance
of safety to both Government and State.
So long as the border is poorly guarded,
the temptation to invade is held out to
the rebels. But lately We heard that Lee
contemplated new offensive movement
northward; !; true or not, the rumor has
It's warning. The example of Pennsylva-
MIA might be wisely followed by all of the
Border States. The rebellion would thus
be confined to narrower limits, by the
presence of reserve standing force
This move will give general satisfaction.

Last Saturday vas in some respects an
snsmaly ia the way Of an election day. We
have attended many elections east and wes!
north and south but never until Ee came TO
Bannock city did we hear so much noise, snd
at the same time see so little violent demon.
Dtratioh as occurred in this city on the 3lst
OfOCsOber. Everybody had perfect liberty to
cay and do just whatever pleased himself and
no one seemed to take any Offense. Some
held up bundles of tickets exhorting every
bOdytO vote this way, while Others shouted
continually that Wallace, or Cannady, as their
choice happened to be, was the only man fit to
represent idaho. Others again cursed and
swore profanely all day long, until they were
SO hoarse at night that it would have been i'm
possible for them to have said their prayers, if
they had been ever so much inclined to do So;
while another class pulled men abont--show-
ing them where to find the polls, at the same
time advising them how to vote. Wagons
were running in all directions bringing in the
feeble, in order that they might exercise the
elective franchise; and, altogether, il was the
most perfect Babel We ever witnessed. Yet,
notwithstanding all the confusion, every one
seemed satisfied with what was going on and
no disturbance Of any kind occurred during
the day, eKCepta personal alteration between
two individuals near the Bannock Bakery, one
of whom had ''pealed" himself from the waist
upward and his antagonist was preparing to
follow suit but the conflict was precipitated
so rapidly that he had not time to "shed."
They pulled hair aud gouged little, but no
other damage was done. The Sheriff had
very properly appointed twenty deputies. or
police men, selecting ten from each political
party,whO performed their duties well; and i. is
doubtless mainly owing 10 their exertions that
no father disturbances occurred during the
day,
