Disappointed Aspfrants.

On last Monday week there were .fre
prominent Democrats of this county be-
fore the Democratic convention for nomi-
nation for Assembly. Of course only one
of the .f0e could be nominated and there
fore four must be disappointed. JOHN
PORTER, our late member, was one of the
disappointed aspirants. Whether he re-
ally desired the nomination or not, we are
not prepared to say, but We can safely
affirm that no young or old Democrat in
the county enjoys more fully the confidence
of the Democracy of Cambria than JOHN
PORTER, and if be had received the nomi-
nation for the third term, he would have
been enthusiastically supported. JAMES
GRIFFIN, late Register and Recorder, was
also candidate. 1t IS quite unnecessary
for rs to say anything in commendation
of Mr.. GRIFFIN. He made his own re-
cord whilst in office as an honest and
high-minded gentleman, and the Democ-

Sndomitable energy and perseverance, to

Georgia once More.

Ii was stated in this paper last week
that two Radical demagogues in Congress
John Cessna, from the Bedford district
in this State, and Lawrence from Ohio
had addIessed long letters to the Radicals
in Atlanta, ''arguing that the intent of
the Georgia bill is against an election in
November" These two worthless were
subsequently, reinforced by that unblush-
ing scoundrel, Ben. Butler, who expressed
the same infamous doctrine to the corrupt
Governor of Georgia, whom Butler ad-
dressed as his "Dear Bullock" In the
meantime, the Legislature of Georgia
being in session, bill passed the Senate
declaring that no election should be held in
that State next fall nnder what is known
as the Georgia bill, passed at the last
session of Congress. The House refused
TO concur in this unheard of and infamous
proceeding. The whole question has re-
Gently been submitted TO Mr. Akerman,
the newly appointed Attorney General of
the United States, who is himself citi>
zen of Georgia, and who has written and
published an able and admirable opinion
on the question. 1t is entirely too long
for US to publish, and we viii therefore
only lay before our readers the concluding
paragraph of his letter, from the whole of
which no heaes4 man can withhold his
praise
'sYou are &Il Republicans, and therefore I
will say q word to you of the party aspects of
the matter. An apprehension has been ex-
pressed that NE shall lose the State If an cleo
tion is held next fall. We may better lose the
State than keep il wrongfully. If we lose the
State in fair election, though it may be disa
greeablo. yet we shall have no right to COM
plain It is one of freemans privileges to
vote oerveFsely when so minded, and if she
majoriJy choose so to vote the rest OF as must
submit for the time, aRd trust that reelection
and experience will briEg them in the end to
sonnder politics"
And 50 there ,ViR Be, as by every prin-
eiple Of common honesty and constitution
al right there ought so be, an election held
in the State of Georgia next November.

men, not that they need any euiogium at
our hands, but as simple act of justice
to them, and as an expression Of what we
know TO be the feeling of the Democracy
of the county towards them. We believe
we hazard nothing in saying that they
will, in the future as in the past, yield n
cordial support to the ticket which has
been placed in nomination by the only
regularly constituted Democratic authori-
ty in this county.

THE WAR.-News by telegraph later than
that commented upon in our article headed
"Nearer to Paris" shows that battle has
been fought near Metz. Both parties claim
a victory, and each view Of the case is sup
ported by Royal evidence. The following
is the despatch from Napoleon to the EN-
press Eugenie:
LoNGUEvILLE, August 14-1O P M.-The
army commenced to cross to the left bank of
the Moselle this morning Our advance guard
had no knowledge of the presence Of any force
of the enemy. When half OF army had
crossed over the Prussians suddenly attacked
in great force After a fight of four hours they
were repulsed with great loss to them.
On the other hand, William of Prussia
sends the annexed account Of the fight to
his Royal consort ct Berlin:
ga great battle was fought at Metz yesterday
and we were again victorious. The First and
Seventh Army Corps behaved with great gal
lantry. l leave Immediately for the battle
field. KING WILLIAM.
Longueville, from which the despatch of
NAPOLEON is dated, is a small town on the
railroad from Strasbourg to Paris, distant
from Chalons fifty miles. The movement of
the French was evidently intended to cover
the defenses of Metz. and the Prussans at
tackled for the purpose OF pushing column
between that fortress and Paris. and thus
separate one division OF the French army
from its base of supplies. At the time We
write, the details are not sufficient TO warrant
any conclusion as to the real victors in the
contest. Napoleon may have prevented the
Prussians from carrying out their designs
fully. W bile the losses inflicted upon retreat
ing force may form the basis on which Will
liam vests his claims for victory in this
instance. These speculations may, however,
be disturbed by news too late to be incorpo
rated into an editorial notice. We can only
comment upon the news on hand at the time
our editorial page goes to press. Thirty
thousand men, belonging to MacMahon's
corps, added to the garrison of the fortress,
will enable the commandant to make suc>
cessful resistance in case it is attacked by
double the number of Prussians. The en-
trance of this body of troops into Strasbourg,
without opposition, would also show that
the place is not invested.-Age. 16b.

THE GREAT BATTLE AT METZ - Berlin,
august l5-midnig ght.-Further particulars
of the great battle at Metz yesterday have
been received The battle was fought at
the village of Paguy, near Metz, and ragged
ferceIy for six hours.
The Prussau forces engaged in the action
mum bered so GOO. The men were under
the command Of General Steinmetz.
The French army was comma manded by
Marshal Bazaine The number of troops
engaged has not been ascertained. The fire
from the French infantry and artillery was
terrific, but the Prussian troops never for an
instant wavered, but followed up every adj
vantage, under perfect hail Of shot and
shell from the enemy, and finally, after a
hard fought and bloody struggle, succeeded
in breaking the French lines, when general
panic ensued in the French ranks and the
troops under Marshal Bazaine were driven
in great confusion into Metz, while one corps
retreated upo1 Verdun.
The loss on either side has not been ascer-
tasned, but it is thought it will exceed that
of Woerth.
STILL LATER.

Potts Declines.

On the 25Ih Of June last a mopgrel
convention assembled in Johnstown and
nominated Gen, JAMES PoTTs. of that
place, for Assembly, on the distinct issue
of the removal of the county seat from
Ebensburg to Johnstown. At the time
that this stupendous removal farce was
enacted, no sane man believed that Gen.
PoTTs would ever be a candidate at the
next October election. Not that he would
not like to be, for his ambition has been
constantly turned in that direction for
period of time whereof the memory of but
few of the old Democrats of Cambria run
meth to the contrary, Sut for other and
overwhelming considerations, we'll under
stood in Johustown, and which are not
at all necessary to be mentioned here.
On the day after the nomination of w.
H. ROSE, Esq by the late Democratic
county convention, Gen Porrs saw prop
er TO anticipate the future political sitaa-
ton, and addressed letter to JOSEPH
GROUSE, of Johnstown, chairman of the
executive committee Of the removal fac
ton, in which he withdrew from the field.
Gen. Potts bases his declination on the
ground Of i'll health. We at first believed
that this was mere subterfuge to escape
as gracefully as he could from his inevita-
BILE political doom. 1t seems, however,
that we were mistaken in our theory, and
that Gen. PoTTs is really in very delicate
! health. We regret that it is so. Much
as we despise this villainous removal
scheme and the motives of those who are
aiding and abetting it, we are free 10 say
that from a long and intimate personal
acquaintance with Gen. PoT1s, we enter
tain for him a sincere feeling of respect as
a man and a citizen. We never did and
never could harbor towards him the slight
est feeling of persona! enmity but, on the
contrary, nothing but kindness and true
| regard.
Gen. PoTrs, having thus retired from
the position which had been assigned him,
the aforesaid JosEPA GROUSE has issued
a proclamation requesting the late renew
al convention to re-assemble at Cresson
on next Saturday, goth instant, at
O'Clock, T.. NJ, 10 nominate a ticket,
which we suppose means full county
ticket, in favor of removal In his call
to the faithful, JOSEPH could not refrain,
as in duty bound, from making ar assault
on what he and his allies style the ''Eb-
ensburg Penitentiary."
We will await with painful solicitude
the wonderful things that are to transpire
at the CressoD convention, to be held un-
der the auspices of JosEPu GROUSE =
Who has not heard of the celebrated
mountain of antiquity, that after having
been in the throes of labor, brought forth a

At ten minutes past five O'Clock on the
morning of the 18th inst, Philip r. Mertz,
banker, aged 90 years, shot himself through

When found be was sitting in chair which
had been placed in small vault. his shirt

pistol recocked on the floor beside him =
He left leetter addressed to his wife, to

"A singular circumstance is related of

to the lips of the child, which. after time,
feebly answered to the reviving draught,

child was brought to consciousness. and is
