Gloria I'm ExCelsls Dec.

We can congratulate our readers or a
most glorious victory in Pennsylvania
Such victory as will make it easy for us
with Mcclellan in November We had
an unscrupulous crowd to contend against,
with their pockets filled with money
wrung from the people. They used it
wherever they thonght it would count.
Our County has done nobly, she has kept
up her reputation for Democracy as well
as ever You will sec by the official
return that there is nothing to be ashamed
of in our little County.
Mr.. Johnston made fine run in the
district. He pulled down the Republican
majorities in Blair, and Huntingdon
almost beyond expectation His maiori-
ty in the whole district is even 200,
making l5 or 1G hundred of change
from last years vote. He has right to
be proud of the manner in which he was
sustained. He has shown that he is un-
mistakeably the choice of the district.
With such men as he, and Bigler, and
Dawson in Congress, the country would
have some reason for hope.
Our County ticket was also an excellent
one, as is manifest from their large vote.
The Convention that nominated them
were unusually careful and harmonious
in their deliberations, and they did their
work we'll We must not relax our efforts
now, the crowning work is to be done in
November, by the election of Little MAC.
He will carry the State by about fifty
thousand, and we can give him one and a
| half of that number in our County to
start on. This can be easily done. There
is many upright and honest men in the
Republican ranks who will vote quietly
for Mcclellan, because they know that
Lincoln has been failure, unfit to carry
on a war and unfit to make a peace.
They know the ruin and degradation that
would await their country under another
four years reign of Abraham Lincoln.

Soldiers.

We have been travelling through part
of our County along the Pennsylvania
railroad for some few days of last week,
and conversed freely with a goodly num-
Der of Democrats They all seem to be
actuated by the same feeling, they seem
to be I'LL aware that the present Govern
ment with Abe Lincoln at the head is the
enemy of the people. There is therefore
a violent hatred existing between them
mutually. The Government would much
prefer a victory at the election than the
taking of Richmond We can't tell the
number of soldiers in this State but
Judging from what we see in this County,
there are more of an army in this State
than General Scott had TO conquer all
Mexico They shifted them TO the
neighborhood of the different election
houses in this County to catch conscripts
who have not appeared. We supposed
that they would not make their appearance
on the election ground, if they did 1t was
evidently to intimidate the voters, which
is right contrary to an Act of Assembly.
Abe Lincoln could break through an Act
Of Assembly by his proclamation, but
we don't think a Provost Marshal with
squad of men would do it or attempt 1t,
should they 90 to the polls armed and
equipped contrary to the Act OF Assembly
in such cases made and provided, some
person might be hurt. The people have
nearly gave all their right up to Abe's
government, but they have some notion
not to give up the elective franchise yet a
while. So far as we have seen the SOL
diers, personally they are gentlemen, but
they are entirely under the control OF an
officer, and if he is hound his company
are generally all hounds, but if he is a
gentleman it has a good effect upon the
men.
There was fracas on last Friday night
(the 7th) in Wilmore, with a soldier and
citizen by the name of Piper. 1t ap-
pears this soldier went to see some girl
who was in the habit of visiting Piper's
Piper told hum he was not satisfied fol
hlm to come there for that purpose, and
would thank him to leave; he would moi
leave until he choose, insisting that ths
other man could not put him out Piper
said he would try, and Knocked him dowr
and kicked him, and put him and one o
his eyes both out. Piper then left hi:
house and hid himself The soldier go
reinforced and they made several charge.
at the house of Piper, but he was no
there, SO they retired in good order.
There are squads of soldiers now sen
to all the heavy Democratic districts o
the County. 1t requires no prophet t.
tell the reason why they are sent at tn
election day, it is with the ostensible pur
pose of taking deserters, but those tha
brought them here care nothing abou

COURT HoUsE-Our Court House
looks as we'll now as almost any new
Court House in the interior of the State.
The repairs that have been done TO ii are
of permanent and substantial nature and
done with a great deal of taste, and very
economically.
Our Commissioners deserve the thanks
of the community for the manner IN
which the work was done Being good
judges of work themselves, they would
employ none but good workmen. Had
the Court House been much longer neg
lected new one would have 10 be built,
whereas it is now good for 25 years.
People were ashamed to point out the
Court House to strangers heretofore, it
looked 30 shabbily.

that we did not receive the letter of our

had our paper pressed off week before last,

We received fine campaign song from
our correspondent q" Northwest" but as
it could not be well sung without taking a
drink at the end of every verse, we think
it best to keep it till the duty is taken off
the liquor.

cratic vote by any chicanery. Those
who brought the soldiers here, know
full we'll that there wa. no more call tor
soldiers in this County, than wagon has
for a fifth wheel, were it not 10 operate
on the election in Democratic townships.
We have seen how this operates. 1t is
rather new thing for Cambria county TO
be made camping ground on election
days, but we believe the people has met
the crisis as becomes men jealous of their
liberty, knowing their rights, and knowing
dare maintain them.
We can't say much now as everything
regarding these soldiers and their conduct
at the day of election is shrouded in mys-
terry, but at future time we will
be able TO say something more definite on
the subject, We will say nothing further
ir this article but that we have no COM
plants against the soldiers.

Of the 5th New Hampshire, met the same fate.

Of the I'd corps, they were on Wednesday trans

who was instructed to carry their sentence
into execution. a.
To-day at noon General Miles had his

guarded by detschment Of the 10th Penn

the long reading OF the orders under which
they suffered, tho slight tremor they exhibited
could fairly be attributed TO chilliness, for the
day had been cold, and they were slightly clad.
AfIer the reading OF the order, they all knelt
In prayer-Lynch, who professed the Roman
Catholic faith, being attended by Father Will

Hampshire. The prayer over, they were placed
on the drop, the ropes adjusted, their hands
and feet pinloned, and the white caps drawn
over their faces. h.

descended from the platform, and the next In
