sion Sir H,flea and one .Efch-ass in
t6te. The great Radical gathering
which had been so extensively adver-
tised came off on Tuesday. And such
a meeting The mountain labored
and brought forth mouse! y friend
who made an actual count says that
the above figures are strictly correct,
including the S5 men and boys from
Bloody Run. For hours men and
boys, fitted up in military garb, We're
seen galloping up and down the streets,
and we wondered what all this meant
when a knowing chap at our side in
formed us that these 'boys in blue"
were about to surrender the town to
the carpet baggers from the east. The
terms of surrender were agreed upon,
and the squad marched triunphantly
through our streets, headed by Brevet
Mai. Gen. Daniel Cessna, son of Con-
gresham "Dad." We never supp @sed
that Dan would look so we'll in uni
form. What line soldier he would
have made! Whata pity that Johnny
who was willing to sacrifice everybody
else's relations, could not spare him.
Many a Radical looked blue on ac-
count of the sIimness of the crowd.
There was but little enthusiasm, no.
body cheering but few boys. This
not being coon year, not one of these
venerable old standby's of the opposi-
ton party We're in the procession, but
their places we're supplied by few rag
ged carpet-bags stuck on the end Of a
pole. Sic transit gloria Hlm1di. LET US
have peace!"
RADICAL FIzzLE. On last Tuesday
evening the RAIDS. of this place called a
club meeting. The crowd failed to
come, but the few whowere there were
distressed by the hOWlings of Hal! and
carpet-bagger hy the name of
H0liOlo-horn, who made one Of the
most outrageous speeches ever listened
to. This pink of ''loilty" imagines
that in him are concentrated all the
virtues of the "God-and-morality" par
ty. He denounced Democratic sol
diersas towards, ""deserters, - "boun-
ty jumpers" " &c, and used language
which thoroughly disgusted every de-
cent Radical in the room. He can be
put down as a squirt Of the first water.
He got his epaulettes by STOPPING to
command a company of negro soldiers.
/ No decent white man would be found
/ in body of soldiers over which he
/ had command. LET us have peace !"
Nor TRUE.-The veracious(?) local
of the Inquirer stated last week that
! the friends of Seymour and Blair had
a riot after the joint discussion at
/ Schellsburg. We are authorized to say
that the whole article is a gross false
| hood. a few Radicals who like Grant
had been swinging round the circle, )"
attempted to get up row, when the
order loving citizens intC-fered and
drove them off. The beIlige. ent RAIDS.
