terms, became Commander-in-chief. The

Pretty Work for a U. s. Senator.

The last Columbia County Republican,
published at Bloomsbury, contains the follow
ing particulars of an affair which occurred
there on election day. Read it:
.Capt. Silver, Deputy Provost Marshal
of this county, in Pursuance of his prescibed
duties, arrested among others, two men,
named Heller and Holder, OF Hemlock,-
They were lodged in Jail at this place on
Sunday On Tuesday afternoon Mr.. Sena-
tor Buckalew went to the Livery stable and
hired two horse carriage under the pre-
text of taking a ride down the river. He
carefully fastened down the curtains, drove
down to and out Third Street, then up Iron
Street, and at the corner of Rock and Iron
streets met Sheriff Furman and Robert c.
Fruit, the Commissioners clerk, who had
with them the two deserters above named.
Mr. Buckalew delivered the carriage oyeT
into the hand of Messrs Furman and Fruit,
who to,k the deserters over to Buck Horn,
where they voted. Capt SiIvers, on hearing
of these high handed proceedings, at onec
sent a couple of resolute soldiers after the
party. They overlook them returning
arrested them, brought them to town and
placed :hem under guard The Marshal
telegraphed to Harrisburg for instruc-
tions. In pursuance of orders he sent tn.
party-the Sheriff, Comrnss ;oner's Clerk
and deserters-uader a strong guard of what
Iings'' to Harrisburg on the Tuesday cyen-
ing train. These men have got Themselves,
into trouble through the advice of one who
should have scorned STOPPING to such con-
sPiracy. a cause and a party must de des-
perate indeed that requires such course Of
action"

Served them Right.

Ferry and Donohue, Governor Sey-
mours tools in the perpetration of the
forseres and frauds on the soldiers, have
both been found guilty by the military
commission which tried them, and sen
tenced to Imprisonment for life. The
President has approved the sentence
The strongest efforts are now making, by
the commission, sent on by Seymour, to
have the big rogue Col. North, the State
agent released, or, at least to have his
trial postponed until after the election.
They have, however, been informed that
neither can be done. The trial of North
will commence on Friday or Saturday.

Store Robbed,

The Store belonging to Depue 5. Mil
Ter, at Resacca, in Middle Smithdeld Id
township, was entered by BURGERS on
on Thursday evening the 9th uit., and
robbed of lot of Dry Goods, &c. On
entering the store on Friday morning
things were found scattered around quite
loosely, but how much was taken is not
certainly known. Mr. Miller thinks his
loss will reach about $500. From the ap-
pearance of the room it is supposed that
the thieves were interrupted in their la
bors, as a number of articles, apparently
laid out to be carried of, were found as
the depredators left them. About twenty
dollars in change, that had been left in
the drawer, was also carried off. 1t was
evident that the BURGERS effected an en-
trance by prying open the door. Itwould
be well now for every one to look well
after their door fastenings.

Not near all who went there to parties

The meeting was addressed by VIM. Da-
Wis, Esq, as we have been told by num-
Der who were present, in his happiest
style. His speech, as his speeches al
ways are, was characterized by a number
of truthful, telling blows, which he let
fall upon the pretensions Of modern, a
las, Copperhead Democracy. Mr., Davis
was followed by Mr. Eschbaugh, Doug
las Democrat, aud of course Lincoln
War Democrat, from Montgomery Coun-
ty. Pa, who also thrust home truths upon
the Democracy. The Union spirit is
wide awake in Hamilton.
Mr.. Davis also addressed quite large
Meeting in Paradise on Monday Evening.
The meeting was very enthusiastic, and
Mr.. D. was listened too with much inter
est.
The meeting at the Court House last
Evening was all that could be expected
for it. The Court Room was literally
iammed with Union men anxious to heal
the truth from eloquent lips. The NEE
ting was addressed by VIM. Davis, Esq.
of Stroudsburg, and by John Brisbin oi
Jersey city, n. j., always a Democrat
We have not the room to give synop
sis of the speeches, and will therefore
content ourselves by saying that they
were filled with iervency for the Union
and its cause, and were replete with un
answerable argument in favor of the sue
cess of Lincoln and johnson. The meet
ing adjourned with three-times,three, to
the Union, its candidates, its armies Its
victories and its speakers.

Melancholy.

The Northern Eagle, of Monday, an:
nounces the political death of cur old
friend George H. Rowland. George was
badly attacked with political Copperhead-
ism several years ago, and it is reported
that secessionism, an offshoot OF the dis
ease, finished him. Well, we have had a
good deal of fun with George in our day,
and cannot but regret that he has, so std
denly, "gone under" Feeling his end
approaching no doubt, he stopped his
subscription to the Jefersonian, but we
are happy to say that he paid up like a
man. There is a moral in the fact, and
it is worthy the attention of dilapida,ea
politicians generally, that almost immedi.
ately after he quit US: we find his polit-
ical demise in the papers. Over George
we would feelingly say, "reqmescat q"

Infam0us.

1t is assuredly felony worthy of the
desperation of the played-out democracy
to forge ballots, presumptively voted by
our absent soldiers. Abomiuable and
despicable as are such frauds, it is GER
tainly an unnecessary iufamy to attach to
those fictitious ballots the names of sol.
diers slaughtered during the war, through
the incompetency of the man in whose
favor these votes were to be cast 1t is
avowedly the sublimity of impudeuce to
make murdered man vote, after death,
for his own murderer

Ip What hard place New York i,
to die in, to say nothing of the expenses
of living there. An aged friend sickened
and died recently, aud is he had not left
ample wealth his doctors bill and funeral
expenses would have exhausted the purse
OF his surviving family. less than two
months illness cost $500, the doctors
charge being 81 per visit. The funeral
was from an uptown fashionable church,
where the price for music was $40, and
opening the building SIS; carriages, some
dozen, over 500; scarfs for clergy and
pail bearers, more than $780, coffin $75,
which, with flowers, undertaker's and
other expenses, in the aggregate reached
about $500. Verify, it is expensive to
live in New York, Tut moe expensive to
die there.

Rag" Reader, that arch-traitor Valiand-
igham has declared that he engineered
the Chicago platform, and that the plat
form controls the candidates. Do you
believe that the war has thus far been a
failure? Do you believs that we should
stop where we arey on the high read to
substantial victory aud honorable peace,
and ask the rebels whether they wont
please to quit on their own terms? Do
you believe that our soldier deserve moth
ing more from US than mere sympathy ?
Do you believe it right to accuse those
heroes of being engaged in dishonorable
war when they are fighting for the very
life OF our country. Of course, ifyou be-
licve all this you will vote for the candi-
dates of the Chicago Platform, but if you
do not, then, to be consistent with your
selves and consistent with your profcssed
love of country, you must vote Tor Lin
coln & Johnson.
