Union county is given at l92-Over so
less than our rough estimate. We know
that many are rs-enlis,iDg, and if each
Township aud Borough will offer little
bounty, and take some pains to procure
volunteers, our patriotic little county will
escape the draft entirely.

SIGNIFICANT REBUKE.-The last term
of the Nor,hum berlaDd county court was
marked by bold move Oh the part of
Judge JORDAN. The voters of the county
stand $500 to 2600-but tbs Copperhead
Commissioners draw about 4 Cop. Jurors
to l Union. Now when we see that there
are fur good Union papers supported in
the county, to one Cop, it may bo taken
for granted tba. the 2600 are quite as
likely to be intelligent, competent men, as
the 5000. la this unfair preponderauce
of Cop. Jurymeu, there is very naturally
much unworthy material. And accord
ingly, Judge Jordan "ercused a number of
Jurymen, because they could BOT under
stand Engli.h-and intimated that there
uas roam fer improvement in The mode cf
selectiny" A very hard hit at the Com
missioners and Sheriff, from an incpen-
den, Judge Of their own party. Men will
naturally favor their friends in matters OF
this kind, but it should not be at the
expense of public interest and OF decency.

ley, of Chester county, ha, bought out
and consolidated the two Union papers of
Danvills-the Democrat, conducted since
1910 by CHARLES Cook, and the Ameri-
can issued for severa! years by DIR. BRow-
Err. In this long career of friend Cook,
be has won high rank as en- able, cour-
teous journalist. Or. Brewer also has
shown himself most vigorous scribe for

~One would suppose from the COM

Ba-One would suppose from the com
ments of the Copperhead press and the
remarks Of the fraternity generally, that
Gen Fremont had suddenly become an
idol they were ready to fall down and
worship By the single act Of accepting
the nomination Of the sore heads at Cleve-
land he has ato7ad for all the sins, imper-
fections and atrocities of which he, was
guilty when he was the candidate of the
Republican party for the Presidency, and
when he issued his celebrated Proclama-
ton In Missouri. 1t might reasonably be
expected that with such admiration for
him the Copperhead Democracy would
adopt the General in their political family
and vote for him for the Presidency; but
they have 10 such intentions II is not
because they like Fremont better than
formerly that they do him reverence at
this time, but because they Late Lincoln
more, and are willing TO kiss the great
toe of any one who they think can in any
way render them service in defeating the
Union nominee and placing themselves
in power.
Who the Copperheads viii nominate at
Chicago, on the 4th of July is yet quite
Uncertain. \ portion of them are for the
Grave digger of the Chickahominy,- Nc
CleIian, but we do not believe he viii be
their man We prophesy they will bring
out an unknown man, or one who Is so hit
tie known in public life as to he without

hope TO succeed in electing him on ac-
count of his not being known But in
this they will fail The People are for
'Old Abe, and spite of ali the opposition
trickerythey viii elect him.

John {, TreInenf.

In our last issue we noticed the NOM
nation of John G. Fremont by the Cleve-
land Convention, and expressed the be
lief that ne would decline the nomination.
| We believed him n man of sound mind
and too much of Patriot TO suffer him
self to become the tool of sorc-headed
disappointed contract and Office seekers
in their efforts to throw the election into
the hands Of traitors TO the Government
We had ever looked upon John C. Ere
mont rs a man of too high and pure a
love of country to suffer himself 10 be
come blinded by personal animosities, or
10 yield manly qualities 10 personal pique
but we are forced 70 believe that we have
been deceived in the man. His letter of
acceptance is the most silly, childish
epistle we have seen for many dly. In
no instan e before have we ever Witnessed
such self immolation on tie altar Of self
ishness. We have never known man to
write himself an ASS in so few words
as has John Z. Fremont. From an en-
inence in the estimation of the American
people of which eny man might be justly
proud he has at a single leap sunk SO
low that he will no longer be looked upon
in the light of posteritv above q selfish
ambitious. but disappointed aspirant for

praise him, he loves Office better than

In the absence of any very definite
Information as to the present position of
the two contending armies in front of
Richmond, we see nothing discouraging
to the Union cause Gen Grant is said
10 have abandoned White House as a
base, and torn up the Rail Road in that
vicinity, loading the ties and rails on
barges, which would indicate that some
other point hay be heard from soon
Butler has again cut the Richmond
and Petersburg Rail Road and taken the
outer works of the latter place.
Hunters victory at Staunton is said TO
be much more important than at first re-
ported.
John Morgan is again at his work oi
destruction in Kentucky. He has defeat
ed the Union force at Cynthiana, and
taken 1900 prisoners At last accounts
he was represented as on the back track
with good force in pursuit.

good work for the country in the nomina-
ton for a reelection of that faithful pub
lie servant and well tried Patriot. ABRA-
HAM LINCOLN This action of the conven
ton was not unlocked for, as the loyal peo
pie Of the land demanded it, and rs the del
egafcs Of the People, the members of the
Baltimore Convention, have acted wisely.
The people in November will endorse
their acts by an unparalleled majority.
The candidate for Vice President is
well chosen. The noble ANDREW Joux-
son, the protege Of jackson, is n fit per-
son to place on the ticket of the Union
men of the nation The noble champion
of the Union Cause Of Tennessee, he has
labored faithfully to render unpopular
that hydra headed monster, secession !;
aud no man has labored more effectively.
With such men as Abraham Lincoln and
Andrew Johnson On tho Union Ticket,
the efforts of the home traitors to elect q
bogus Democrat will prove as futile as
will those Of the sorc-heads who met at
Cleveland a few days since.
