Ran The MeadviIle PENN Republican
denies the statement that there is but one
soldier of the Revolution living, and says
that there is in Sandusky, Cataraugus Coun-
ty, n. Y, an old Revolutionary soldier,
Matthias Brakeman by name, who draws
pension from Government He was born
in 1855, and is therefore now Ill years old.
His wife, who was one year younger than
himself, died about three years ago and
his daughter, fourscore years and more,
keeps house for him. The old man enjoys
remarkably good health for one of such ad-
vanced years, and walks to the village, half
a mile from his residence, every two or
three days. On each Fourth of July he
takes his old fowling-piece, and goes out
into the fields, where he blazes away a sa-
lutte in honor of independence Day.

Has> The fact most clearly and conciu-
sively demonstrated by the occurrences of
the past few years, is, that the masses have
been ahead cf the leaders, in advocating
and demanding the adoption of those great
principles of Human Rights and Equality,
which are now so near their final triumph.
Whilst those in power have held back, the
people have steadily progressed, until they
have brought public men up to their stand
ard. The wheels of progress never go
backward-the hands on the dial of Truth
and Right never stand still And the peo-
pie now expect that the men chosen to give
shape and consistency to their views and
desires, shall be selected from those who
have stood in no doubtful attitude in the
past-b but being deeply imbued with the
popular demands, will heartily and jealous
ly cooperate in those great measures OF
legislation, which are necessary for the fu-
ture welfare of the country, the success of
which have been secured at such great
sacrifice Of blood and treasure In the
election of Z. S. Senator, this is particu-
lar demanded--tha the man elected should
be one who has been identified with the
popular feeling during the discussions of
the past--who has stood in no uncertain or
hestating position-but who, on the con-
trary is representative man, and whose
election will be regarded throughout the
country, as due to his advanced views, and
recognized servic, in the cause of Univer-
sal Freedom

Ra8- On Friday night of last week band
of seven or eight men raided upon McLeod's
Station, about twenty miles beyond Bowl
ing Green, on the Memphis branch road,
and plundered the store of Mr. Watson.
In retracing their way a young lady was
grasped by one of them, and threatened
with instant death if she did not tell them
where they could find the balance of Wat
sons money. Though fast in the grip of
the ruffian and pistol at her head, she
steadily refused to disclose the secret The
robber was so abashed by her first deport-
ment that he relinquished his hold and
passed on. The girl at the time held in
her dress-sleeve 5000 or $500 of the covet.
ed money. The rogues were white men
disguised as negroes.

COAST THY BREAD UPoN THE WATERS" y
Gen. Cameron (says the WilLiamsport Bulle-
tn, was the first Cabinet Minister who in
sisted upon employing the negroes to aid
in putting down the rebellion At that
time, President Lincoln thought it nnnec
essary, and the timid men around him
thought the people would not approve the
mpasure so Gen. Cameron's report was
curtaled and the best part of it knocked
off He never changed his opinions, but
the Administration came to him. Now
that he is again before the people as
candidate for Senator, his sagacity in that
celebrated report is doing him more good
than any other act of his political life He
cast his bread upon the waters, and is find
ing t after ''many days" Gen. Butler, in
recent speech, said
'In January, 1861, Gen. Cameron, then
S=crr;..ry of War, put in his report the
assertion that the slaves ought to be en-
ployed as soldiers against their masters,
and Immediately the cry was raised all
over the country, why, this is white
mans war no negroes should be employed
in this way it ought to be fought out by
white men. 1t is white mans quarrel
solely. The negroes don't know enough to
be soldiers they do not know enough to
kill men. Mr.. Cameron had to leave Mr..
Lincoln's Cabinet because of that report
and go to Russia"

E9~ Hon. HORACE GREELEY, announces that
he is candidate for u S. Senator from
New York The New York Times and
Herald both favor his election We have
no doubt he will be chosen, ON account of
his great services in the popular cause. He
will be sadly out of place, in that body, judg-
ing from his Congressional career, which
was total failure, so far as practical re-
suits were concerned. Mr. GREELEY's place
is in the editorial sanctum of the Tribune,
advocating those great principles which he
unquestionably has so much at heart
When he attempts to advise as to the prac-
teal application Of those measures, he
makes himself ridiculous by the unpracti-
cal nature Of his propositions which often
times are not only impossible, but mis-
chievous.

Antietam National Cemetery, at Sharps-

The substantial walls of dressed limestone

hundred bodies have been exhumed and re-

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT IN ONEIDA CoUNTY-A
WOMAN Torn IN PIECES ALONG THE ROAD
The Utica papers give the particulars of a
runaway accident that occurred at Holland
Patent, / miles north of Utica, last Sat
urday afternoon. Mrs Ward wife of Nathan
iel Ward jr, most estimable woman, and
the center of an affectionate family circle,
started with her little boy to attend the
meeting of the Baptist Church at the Patent,
where she was to meet her husband and
daughter. After going little way the
horse became restive, when the little boy
became frightened and returned home
Soon afterward the vicious beast became
unmanageable and started to run Mrs
Ward, in attempting to jump, caught her
hoopskirt on the springs, and was thus
dragged mile and a half over rough
and stony read. She finally became Olsen,
tangled, and was found most horribly torn
and lacerated, and life nearly extinct. Her
clothing was scattered along the road, and
even her shoes and stockings were torn
from her feet. One arm and one limb brok-
en-, her head nearly scalped, and the flesh
in several places torn to the bones, tell
how great must have been the sufferings
of the unfortunate victim. Death soon re-
heved her sufferings

Mr. EDITOR Il am much pleased with your
comments in the last REPORTER on the question Of
U. S. Senator, and especially with the preference
you express for General CAMERON. The Union
men of the State alive this subject, and the
pervading sentiment is, that the safest is the best
man. CowANs base treachery has excited suspf-
cion of that style of men, and less brilliancy and
more steadfastness of character is demanded for
the future While l would not, by word or deed
disparage Governor CURTNs eminent talents and
great services can not but consider him less fit
ted for Senator, in the present juncture than his
rival, General CAMERON and this not because six
months ago we did not know where the Governor
stood on the main political issues of the day, but
because vacillation is inherent weakness of his
nature, as it is with almost all men of his snowy
and plausible characteristics. Such men, a
rule are never constant never effective, nev-
er SO successful as the more quiet less glittering
yet more persevering workers of the CAMERON
school Our own political history is full of illus
trations demonstrating this, and every man of ex-
perence and observation, has seen it proven in
every relation Of human life. Aside too from the
great reliability of General CAMERON, is the fact,
the Government, when preparations were making
to resist the rebels, tully comprehended the mag
nitude of our difficulties, showing a far-reaching
practical sagacity eminenty fitting him for the
present trying emergencies of our party and the
government. Yours truly,

ed the duties with rare Judgment and fidel-
ity, but he has declined to apostatize in fa-
vor of "my policy"
The selection of Mr.. GERRITsoN as the re-
cipient of favors from the Administration
is eminently proper. The Democrat of which
he is the editor is one Of the most intensely
virulent Copperhead papers in the State.
In fact, at times it has beeen so thoroughly
saturated with poison, and so malignant in
its demons trations, that its friends became
nervously anxious lest it should bite itself
Its columns have probably contained more
foul abuse of ANDY JOHNSON and more dis.
loyalty generally than any other paper in
the State. Nothing but it's insignifcaance
has prevented its being squelched by pop.
ular Indignation.
Now that the Administration is striving
to show how deep it can dive, and how
muddy it can come up, it is peculiarly ap
propriate that such displays of its nasti
ness should be made. If there is "John
son Republican" in the 18th District, we
felicitate him upon this disposal of govern
ment patronage.
