4 Radical stronghold Captured,

"A Clarksburg correspondent informs us
that at the town election held in Clarks-
burg on Monday the entire straight DEM
|ecralic ticket was elected, by majorities
ranging from Eve to thirty. A full vote
was polled. This is the first time in the
history of the town, that such a result has
occurred. Heretofore Glarksburg has
been regarded as one of the Radical
strongholds. We attribute this victory
greatly to the Democratic organizations
in that town, and the vigorous work done
by them. Thanking our Clarksburg
friends for this gratifying triumph, we
commend their example to the Demo-
Gratis of other localities.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF CAPT REHRER-
New developments have arisen in the case of
the mysterious disappearance of Captain
Rehrer, which have led to the arrest of two
Irishmen in Buffalo, n. Y, and to the re-
arrest and committal to prison of Thomas
Smith and John Albrighton, Jr., and to the
arrest of and committal OF David Lominson,
of Donaldson, all on charge of being con-
cerned in the murder of Capt. E.. Godfrey
Rehrer. The immediate cause of these ar
rests is the fact, as we have learned, that a
letter was received recently at the dead let
ter Office, Washington, which had been
written by Thomas Smith to the Buffalo
parties, which had miscarried, and which
contained information which, upon being
laid before Governor Gcary, had induced
him to issue requisition tor the arrest of
the Buffalo parties. They have been arrest
ed, are now in Jail, and will be brought on.
There are many rumors afoat in reference
to this case to which We deem it improper
to refer, and will await hearing in the case
before making further statements.
Yesterday, Jonathan Wright, Esq, ap-
piled for writ of h0beas corpus in the case
OF the parties under arrest here, and there
will be hearing as soon as the prosecution
is ready.
The prisoners were arrested by Marshal
Heisler's police, and committed by Squire
Frailey of this borough, and Squire Graeff
of Tamaqua.
Search for the body of the supposed muir
dered man is being prosecuted at an old
eolliery slope, between fremont and Donald
son, but up to the hour of going to press we
mad heard Of no discovery.
