Editors Democrat and Star. Be so kind
as to insert in your next ISSUE the following
communication, in reply to charges made
against me by Colonel Tate, in his letter
published in your issue of October Sd, 1866.
The portion of his letter allude TO, reads
as followss His special guardian distinctly
said that Mr.. Montgomery would vote Tin
conference) for any candidate Mr.. Ent re-
quired. These gentlemen all went to work
in the conference as my friends. Mr.. Ent
doubtless had it arranged that at the proper
time, the Montour Conferees should vote
for Sullivan County, and then Mr. Mont
gomery did vote as Glr EDt required. "
The above charge, ] assert, Is deliberate
fal~eliood. Speaking OF MIR. Ent he says,
. his special guardian. l presume he re
fers TO 1Ir. Buckalew, from the fact that he
told Judge Moore, of Danville, on the eve
ming of the first days conference, while sit
ting on the Court House steps, within hear
ing of Judge AicReynolds and myself, that
Mr. Bgckalew had made the assertion.
What passed between Mr. Buckalew and
himself | neither know nor care; but l as
sert, that in voting for Mr.. Jackson, on the
last ballot, did SO because l chose to, OF
my own free willard which Mr. Tate has
no right to question-nor was l influenced
by any one, either in or cut of Columbia
County, and would have done so had every
Democrat in the county been present and
protested against it. | was under no obli-
cations to support Mr.. Tate on a single bal
lot, although l voted for him at least III
times,-not on account of himself, person
ally, but for the high regard I entertained
for the sterling Democracy Of Columbia
he being recommended as their candidate,
and would as cheerfully have voted quite as
often for any other candidate the county
might have chosen to recommend. II, by
voting for Mr.. Tate III times, as / did, is
not sufficient to satisfy him, | fear he has a
better opinion of himself, than others enter
tain Of him. In conclusion, would advise
Mr. T., that hereafter in settling his disputes
with other persons not to implicate me with
them in bis personal difficulties.
Very respectfully,
Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-10-17
AWonderful Dream.

Mr.. Robertson. Mail Agent on the A. G..
W. Road, between this city and Cleveland,
related to US, yesterday, the strange item
about farmer who prevented a terrible dis
aster on that road near Mansfield, Ohio, at
the time of the recent general freshet. We
had before seen a paragraph relating to the
singular affair. Mr.. r. conversed with the
farmer and here is the story in short:
The farmer Ia Pennsylyanian) went to.bed
during the heavy and protracted storm, on
Monday night, and dreaming that the fili
across chasm, some hundred feet deep,
had given way under passenger train and
let 1t down into the abyss, he sprung up to
render assistance 70 the passengers, ran to
the door, and was Fastening from the house,
when his wife awakened him. He related
his dream, and went to bed again, but slept
little more during the night The dream
made such a deep impression on his mind
that he hastened to the chasm the next
morning early to see what condition 1t was
in; but the road was apparently all right,
although the water was pouring and surging
through the large culvert beneath, as though
it would wash the earth away Tuesday
night the farmer could not rest for thinking
about his dream of the preceding night,
and getting up, he procured his lantern and
hurried of to the chasm When he arrived
there he found, to his terror, that the huge
ell had been washed out, leaving nothing but
the unsupported ties and track over the
chasm Hearing the train laundering to-
ward destruction. the farmer clambered
across the dreadful break, and running down
the road some distance, he signaled the ap
preaching train to stop. And 50 short was
the time, that BY the time the engineer was
able 10 hold up, the engine was but few
feet of the chasm.
The train was large, and was filed with
persons who had been to the great Union
meeting at Mansfield What narrow es-
cape they all made from horrible death,
for the train would have plunged down the
fiightful precipice, car upon car, crush
ing all to death in the ruins The passen-
gers at once eyinced their gratitude to their
preserver, the Pennsylvania, by making
him upa handsome sum of money.-Ddy-

was elected Secretary of State in New York

ET The responsibility for not trying
Jefferson Davis rests with the judicial au-
thoriies, or with Congress, or both. Con
gress enacted a law which, in the judgment
Of the judiciary, renders it impossible to
hold court for his trial without new al
lotment of judges and that allotment Con
gress and the Judiciary alone have power to
make. The responsibility for his being held
in military rather than civil custody rests
wholly with the Judge end District Court
of the District of Virginia. The only re-
sponsi5ility resting upon the President, so
far as we can see, Is that Of detaining him at
al. We see no due process of law under
which he is held as prisoner, though his
counsel appear to have made no application
for his discharge
