CON VESTS TO abolitionism; The Abolitionists appear to calculate largely upon the efforts of renegade Dem ocrats, to assist their sinking cause ; if they could bring out but one who ever was a Democrat, and who now advocates the acts of the Administration who is not paid for his services, they might calculate upon partizan advantage resulting from his ex ertions. But what a lamentable spectacle have we presented to us; in this connec tion 2 The men on whom the Abolition ists rely for imposing upon their old associ ates in the Democratic party, are persons ot notoriously infamous reputations.— While in the Democratic party they were alwayß regarded with suspicion ; but the wor&t nf them now appear to be prefera ble, in Abolition estimation, to the most reputable of their own party. The object of giving such persons, just now, the chief honors of the party, the Abolitionists im agine will make party capital. They re fer Democrats to the fact of such men now being in favor of the Administration, as a reason why we should all follow their example. Bat when did these patriots break from the Democracy? not until they were purchased with lucrative offices; and we all know that, since the world began, it has produced but few men at all su perior to great bribes. Making this al lowance for poor, corrupt and weak hu man nature, the reader can easily account for Ben. Batler and others like him, being upon the stump, advocating those who feed and clothe him. These renegades, it must be remembered, are in the receipt of large salaries, for which they render no services. They go about in brilliant uni forms making speeches in favor of a poli cy, which is intended to prolong the Southern rebellion. There is nothing strange in this, because, supposing the war were to terminate to-morrow, what would become of the thousands upon thou sands who are coining fortunes out of its prosecution ? It iB the interest, therefore, of Ben. Batler tind every other officer and contractor connected in any way with the army, to advocate every measure calcula ted to prolong the war. Let the reader reflect, for a moment, upon what would the persons alluded to do in the event of the war be.ng stopped. Their fine pay and rations being missing what would become of them ? Would we then find them upon the stump, advoca ting the extreme measures of Abolition ism ? not unless they had some motive, beyond the stale pretense of exuberant loyalty and patriotism. Ben. Butler and his coadjutors, renegades from the De mocracy, making speeches in tavor of the measures of the Administration, are merely “laboring in their vocations it is their business ; they live by it, and live in opulence at the expense of a groaning people. Abolitionism may point- to such parasites, as shining examples for the reßt of ns to follow ; but their conduct is too transparent to deceive any one who is not wilfully blind to their deceptive practices. The abolition sentiment, which now con trols the Administration, is bent upon the prolongation of hostilities, nntil the Southern people are utterly subjuga ted ; and purchaseable Democrats are relied upon to assist in keeping in power those who are determined upon that monstrous consummation. Those who were, while in the Democratic party, the most abject creatures of the “slave power,’’ are the men who are most acceptable to their new masters. Witness this man Butler, for instance, who being a delegate in the Charleston Convention, instructed to vote for Douglas, voted for Jeff. Davis; and who, at Baltimore, was the first Northern delegate to follow the conspirators in breaking up the unity of the Democratic party. He and these who thought with him then, followed their Southern masters, as they are now help ing their Abolition owners in their crusade for negro emancipation. In the Charles ton Convention, alluded to, this Batler made a speech in which the following paragraph occurs. It will be seen that, in view of Mr. Seward’s nomination, for and election to the Presidency, he inqui red whether the South would ‘ ‘submit’ ’ to his Administration? and we have no doubt that if all the correspondence of JefL Da vis, lately found upon his place in Missis sippi, waß published, we would find letters from this Butler urging the Southern States to rebel against the then incoming • Administration. Having conspired to plange hia country into civil war, be is a fit instrument in the hands of the Aboli tionists to carry out their designs against the restoration of the Union. The fol lowing is the extract of Bntler’s speech at Charleston: "Iftho Democracy should disagree hero—if they should loolishly clash —if they should s«6- int<to the election of William would ‘they be willing to pledge themselves 10 abido by and faithluliy carry out all the c'ecisions of tjie Supreme Court, reorganUcd as it would be as a partisan court by Seward? Of course they would noil Nobody supposed they would!’' But the reliance of the patriotic De mocracy for success in the coming election, is not in the efforts of pensioned hirelings and renegades; no, we rely upon the vir tue and intelligence of the people, whose substance is being waßted to keep in pow er those who have plunged our country in ruin. To the thoughtful and oppressed masses, we confidently look for an over whelming triumph against abolitionism in Oc ober. And, unlesß we are egregiously mistaken in the signs plainly visible in the political sky, that triumph will be the most decisive ever witnessed in Pennsyl vania since the days of Gen. Jackßon. blessings. Among the many blessings the people owe the Abolition party, says tbe Age, are civil war, conscription, ond taxation. The freemen of the North could suffer iu patience all the evils brought upon them by the wicked men in power, if the latter were laboring for a reconstruction of tbe Union and the restoration of the Consti tution. But the bold avowal that the war lis for negro equality and emancipetion, I has roused the masses to a proper sense I of the danger that surrounds them, and I will cause them to smite these ‘‘architects I of ruin” atthe ballot box, and overwhelm I them with destruction. In addition to these blessings is the late suspension of the Habeas Corpus through out the 6Dtire country. Our Courts must give way to the authority of Provost Mar shals and Constables. The Commercial “on Dates Yesterday's Commercial, in a blast on the late election in the State of Maine, in forma creation that “i ince the days of lb-40 Pennsylvania has never, to our recollec lien, in October, gone differently from Maine in September. Have you heard tbe news from Maine, is associated in cur memory as the premonatory symptoms of Buccess or defeat incur own State. As such we ACCEPT TDK new 3 of the mo ment." In 1854, the Know-Nothing I whirlwind swept Maine away from the Democratic column, and she has never since returned to it. In 1800, Mr. bin coin polled in thaL State 02.81 1, and Doug las and Breckinridge together polled bui 30,058, showing a majority for the Repub lican candidate of 20,70-. At the late election Maine elects the Abolition ticket by about half this majority, and yet the Commercial pretends to set- in it great cause for rejoicing. Another such victory would be the end of its party in Maine. — Since 1854, Maine has not voted the Dem ocratic ticket, although the Commercial s arithmatic places her and Pennsylvania in the same party since 1840. Sympathy for the Foldier. The Commercial auuouucea that “the copperhead press have found a conspiracy and by their hissing call the attention of the public to the discovery. Our patn otic Executive, Andrew O. Curtin, ever I solicitous lor the welfare of our brave bo!- diers, is endeavoring to have our pick and wounded home from the hospitals in the pestilent South, to regain health and vigor among the mountains aud valleys of our own State, or to breathe their last among frieuds and kindred." Why this tender solicitude for the poor soldier was not exhibited by tlov. Curtin and k his set of demagogues until the eve of a State election, {he being up for re-election,) the Commercial will oblige us by explaining, A CHALLENGE There is nothing, in my opinion, which so well represents the position of the abo lition party, as a client before a court and jury with a bad case—bat who expect?, in the absence of law, to mystify the case, confase and perplex the minds of the jury by the rhetorical flourishes and adroitness of a formidable array of counsel, who, if they cannot gain his case, can Blander and abuse hiß opponent. Just so with the ab olition party. They have engaged a form idable array ot counsel to plead their cause before the people, who, being una ble to offer a single authority in support of their cause, have resorted to law — mean, dirty, foul-mouthed and filthy abuse —as a specimen brick —(see Pitts burgh Gazette , Sept. ) 1 challenge that paper, the Commercial, or any of their stump orators, to support their argu ment by the law as laid down by the great statesmen of the Republic. I have thrown down the glove, gentlemen —who will take it up? Bex. Chatanooga. The New York Tribune pays General Rosecrans this handsome compliment : The occupation of Chattanooga by Gen* eral Rosecrans is a more brilliant success than if achieved by help of a victory, “Battles are the last resort of a good Gen eral,” said one of the greatest. We are a little slow to believe it ; but General Rosecrans is so thorough a teacher that the dullest of ua shall yet prove apt schol ars under his instruction. The popular imagination delights to conceive him in the storm of bullets, amid which his cour age and capacity turned defeat to victory at Murfreesboro. Magnificently done it was, but Chattanooga is a still higher tal ent. Needless to remind ourselves that it was a famous rebel stronghold. Its impregnability has been vaunted in every rebel journal fora twelvemonth past. Na ture had done her utmost to secure it from assault, and engineering science had trebled its natural strength. Geueral Rosecrans might have buried half his army on craggy slopes before he had fought his way into its recesses : but he turns its terrors into triumph by skillful strategy, and a simple flank movement dis closes the weakness of this formidable fastness. It is simple, however, only in the sense in which nearly all grand ma neuvers are simple. They are the exact application of simple -general principles in difficult circumstances —the natural ob stacles being in this case the greatest to overcome.' Rivers*.mountains, impracti cable roads, a country barren of supplies —these are what teßt a commander’s ca pacity, and what General Rosecrans has I just proved himself master of. fcOUa'Hßßff NEWS. TUB MEXICAN MATTERS IN RICHMOND. From the Richmond Dispatoh, Bopt. 9, France has taken possession of the'lsth mus of Tehauntepec, placing a force at the -own of Minatitlan, which is situated near the mouth of the river Coatzacoalcos, which enters the Gulf near the southeast- ern boundary of the Mexican State of Vera Cruz. This river is on the line of the Tehauntepec route from the Gulf to the Pacific, a routj which has many ad- vantages and has attracted much attention in the politico-commercial world. So 1 Louis Napoleon is in time with his meas ures to control it and to do what can be done with it. Some years ago a company of United States speculators obtained from the beggarly government of Mexico some kind of grant, for a trifling consideration, for right ot way by this isthmus, Louis Napoleon will brush them away like cob webs. He is determined not to have im pediments in the way of plans touching Mexico, at least from the Yankees. In further pursuance ot his policy of oc cupying the important positions on the Gulf, he is also about to throw a proper force into Tampico, the second largest seaport in Mexico. Having already occu pied Vera Cruz and Matamoras, he leaveß no commercial or military point of import ance on the Gulf unoccupied, and we shall soon hear that those of the Pacific— Mozatlan, Acapulco, San Bias, .Ac., have Dot been overlooked. Maximilian will find his houße pretty well in order by the time he arrives ; but it is Dot improb-1 able that, he will find some troubles al* 1 ready matured to his hand in his relations with the Yankee government. Bat the Emperor ot France will settle them for him, and in that way the more effectually perpetuate his office of friend and protec tor of the Mexican empire, deriving iQ turn such consideration, political and commercial, as will amply compensate him. Indeed, (he i cork of France in Mexico is going on as well as we could desire, and , ire mag well infer , as much to the discom fort of Lincoln and his Yankees as to our satisfaction . Wo shall probably Boon hear some grumbling at Washington — 6ome ominous mntteriDgs of a storm that is to come—but it may not be allowed to break forth uncontrolled. The Yankee government may complain and threaten: but they have frequently declared through their organs that they cannot afford to have open rupture and war with any other power until they whip us. After that they will resent insults and punish encroach* meats. They will bottle their resentment for the present. Bat it is not clear that they will be able, with all their cunning, to keep out of trouble, so beset are they on all sides with delicate and complicated loreign relations. The South means to . be free, whether the Yankees qaarrel with, r other powers or not; but it woi*ld certain 1 ly not be to our regret that they should be } forced iuto a war with some one else while we are tighting them. k 1 SH! A AND THE UNITED STATES. From the Richmond Dispatch, Sept. 9th In our foreign news to-day there is a report of an alliance between Russia and he United Stales. Rumors of important international intrigues nod treaties have been so numerous and so unreliable of late that we cannot put faith in this. But it is precisely such an alliance, offensive and defensive, as wc should like to see.— It would at once settle the policy of the Western Powers of Europe, and lb© di mensions of the present strugglo would assume shape and proportions of unprece dented magitude. The world would be startled at them. The issues settled on such a scale conld not long be deferred, and would no doubt be settled in favor of the peace and security of the world from the unacruputousness, the atrocities and brutalities of the worst members of the family of civili/.nl nations. However, let us not look for these alliances. They are not impossible, but very improbable. iiE N SI'.U’IR RIOTS —TIT KGB !.T I’KOCIA MATIO N Of CiOV. V ANri. Rai ehih, Sept. 10, 1 Some soldiers of Henning's brigau-. ap parently led by officers, mobbed the S7un ilard newspaper office last night, about 10 o’clock, destroying furniture and throwing type into the street. They also destroyed a lot of State printing, <fec. Gov. Vance reached the Bpot when the work of de struction was nearly over, and addressed the crowd, begging them to desist, and re buked them lor the act, telling them that no such example had been set iu Lincoln’s dominions. The soldiers cheered Gov. Vance, and dispersed at one o'clock, and 1 eft the city. The building and power press of the office were not damaged. Mr. Ho den will resume the publication of the Standard in a few days. This morning, about seven o'clock, some one rung the lower bell, and a crowd of citizens rushed upon the State Journal office, turning the contents into the streets, breaking up fur niture, <tc. The Mayor was sent for, but arrived too late to stop the mob. Gov. Vance was sent for, and made a splendid speech. The crowd dispersed and all is quiet now. No further deeds of violence need be feared from the citizens if the sol diers are restrained, but any further such demonstrations by them will cause another outbreak, and there is no telling where it may end. p.,.r the Pobi PROCLAMATION FROM GOV. VANCE, Governor Vance, of North Carolina, has issued a proclamation, called forth by the lawless and treasonable menaces made at some of the so-called peace meetings held in the old North State. Governor Vance warns the people of the dangerous consequences of a persistence in their course, beseeches them to abstain from any further resistance to the enforcement of the conscription act and the law for the collection of taxes. He reminds them of their duty as good citizens, and exhorts them to abandon the miserable demonstra tions they are making of resistance to laws which must and will be enforced. THK PEACE RESOLUTIONS IN THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE, From the Riohmond Sentinel, Sept. 10. We have never given as much space to so poor a use as that which contains Mr. Collier’s resolutions, offered in the Senate yesterday. That gentleman is ever full of crotchets and speeches, on all subjects, as the Senate knows Jfull well ; but of them all this peace movement is perhapß the most puerile. To expostulate with our enemies, while they are pressing the fight which they have made, and in this the hour of their exhilaration, would but in flame their efforts ; for they would con sider it as a sign of weakness and of coming submission. If Mr. Collier were to start on such a mission as he proposes he would have abundant leisure to felicitate himself on his practical wisdom in the dungeons of Fort Warren. The people will thank the Senate for putting its toot upon the proposition in so summary and indignant a manner. The only regret will be that any one could be found to insult the manliness and the universal sentiment of our State by such a suggestion. From the Bichmond Examiner, Sept. 9th Morris Island has been evacuated. This* fact comprises the evacuation of batteries Wagner and Gregg, long and gloriously defended. No details have reached ua, but we are assured in general that nothing was' abandoned to the enemy but the sandy ground. The necessity of a final evacua tion bas long been foreseen, and provided for. Everything of value had been pre viously transported by night to the main, and the men were at last drawn of in order and safety. So a tli ('nrollnn, . The.anuouucemeut.occaßiona.rather re lief than pain. The responsibility of de fending forever a small island, cot off from communication by an enormous fleet, waS palpable. The sappers had approached within a few 'yards of Wagner. If its evacuation had been long delayed, it must have soon fallen in an overwhelming as sault, and its defenders been killed or taken prisoners. While no courageous persona were willing to utter their appre hension so long as the defense continued, few did not feel and think that Morris Island Plight at last prove another Hatter as, another Boanoke, another Vicksburg. Bat it was safe in the able and fortunate hands of Beauregard. He fought that island for two months, held it while works were elsewhere erected, which rendered it wholly unnecessary lor the defense of Charleston —held it still, when they were quite done, to the last moment, while the . door to honorable retreat was open, and i sold it at last dearly indeed. It has cost , the enemy an army and half a fleet. Not ! a particle of its sand has not been paid for - with drops of blood. The fortifications of Charleston is now stronger than when the first shot was fired on the Island. Batteries have since then been erected which supersede the utility of Wagner. It was never the key of Char leston. Indeed, no one point in its forti fications caa be bo called. In the system of Yauban there was always such a point; once taken it commanded all the rest. But the excellence of the new Bystem of de fense, illustrated at Comorn and Sebasto pol, and repeated at Charleston, is the necessity of a seige for every battery, in which the beseigers are always exposed to the fire of others. Sach a defense, if con ducted with courage, by an army which cannot be surrounded and starved, may be easily rendered interminable, as the siege of Charleston will be. But we must not blind our eyes, nor those of the reader, to two consequences of this event. One is the moral effect on the ignorant Northern populace. It will, ot course, be the signal of great but tern porary exultation ; and it ib unpleasant to know that they have so much encourage ment. The other is the fact that the pos session of Morris Island will enable the enemy to close the port of Charleston, tor the first time in the war. Bat while this result may dbpress mercantile speculation, we doubt whether the Confederacy will be .injured by the comparative diminution of smuggling from Nassau. FOREIGN NEWS. (IREAT HR I TAIN The following is Earl Russell's reply to the memorial of the Emancipation Society relative to the steam rams in the Mersey : Foreign Office, August in. Gentlemen: I have received your let ter calling attention to a subject of very grave and preasiug importance, namely : the fitting out or equipping two powerful iron-plated steam rar*3, which 1 am in formed are intended to commit hostilities against the go?i-r::itu*ni and people of the United States. My attention has lor g been directed to these subject?, ljoth ihe Treasury and Horae Uepan’ou-nts have, at my request, made most anxious inquiries upon the sub- ject of these ster.ni rarns. Yc-u are aware that by the foreigu enlistment act a ship is liable to be detained, and ‘.he owners arc subject to a penalty, when the ship Is arm ed or equipped for purposes of war and the owners intend to use her agaiust some state or community in friendship with her majesty. It is necessary to prove both the equip meat and the intention. It is necessary for conviction in a public court, in ju« lice, to have the evidence of a credible witness. I wba in hopes when 1 began to read your memorial that you would propose to fnrni»h me wiih evidence to prove that the steam rams in question were intended to carry ou hostilities against the government and people of the United States ; but you have made no proposal of the sort, and only tell me that you are informed so and ho, and it is believed that so and so. You must be aware, however, that uc cowirng to Lriiish law proaeculiond ;an not be set on foot upon ground 1 1 vi olution of the Foreign Enlistment net without tho atlidaviis of creditable wit nesses, as in other ca3es of misdemeanors and crimes.

Neither the French govern ment nor the French people were concern ed in the bueinese, but a French banker was. The rams were to be paid for out of the confederate loan. M. Laugior was one of the contractors for that loan, and was also guaranteed for the payment of the contract with Laird. He has a mortgage on both the vessels, and therefore they may ultimately become his property ; but then the law would have to deal with this uew feature in the transaction, and M. Laugier might sell them to the British government at cost price, and they are well worth the money, uot for at-a, but for coast and haibor service. For privateers they are totally unfit. The Parij Pays states that the two ships are uot constructed for the French gov - ernment, but have been ordered by the government of Egypt, os their names in dicate. THK PRIVATEER FLORIDA, The Paris Moniteur says that the Flori da, sailing under the confederate flag, en tered Brest to repair damages. Her re ception was according to the ordinary principles of international law. At the opening of the war the French govern ment, in accord with other powers, recog nized the confederate states as belliger ents, and declared its intention of observ ing a strict neutrality between the two parties. In like cases it is the right as well as the duty of neotralsto prevent ves sels ot belligerents to procure means, not for fighting purposes, but for navigation. Therefore it baa been decided that the Florida could be admitted to procure all that was indispensable to maintain her in a good navigable state, without her being able to make purchases tending to recruit her war arrangements. The London limes publishes some par ticulars of the Florida’s career, as related by Captain Maffit. He claims to have treated all prisoners o c war with the great est respect. He save that the Anglo-Sax on was captured sixty miles from Cork.— When she wa/ captured, her pilot was re ferred to the confederate government for the settlement of any just claim he might have. The Wound of Moseby. A letter in the Richmond Dispatch , da ted the Ist inst., aays: “The gallant and übiquitous Moseby has returned from the war path, but this time received his turlough in the shape of two flesh wounds in the right thigh and side. Fortunately for the service they are not dangerous, and will cause only a temporary absence from the field. He again penetrated near Alexandria, captur ing his usual quota of prisoners, etc., and losing one man killed and two wounded in a fight on Thursday last. ’ ’ The gbeatest pais cvbeb OF THE AGE 1 Try Heed's Magnetic Oil.
