The election to be held in pursumice of these enactments being one entirely disconnected froin partizan politics, we think it unnecessary to do more than remind our readers of its approach. In this county Republicanism is disposed . to make the election a partizan contest, aid have accordingly printed tickets "ibr the amendments," but any one de sirous of voting the other way can do so, by erasing the word for and insert ing against. LET US HEAR FROM YOU. We were disappointed yesterday in Commercial's neglect to give us its opinion regarding JEFF, Devts'•verac ity. Our neighbor copied JACQUES & Co's statement of an interview they had with DAVIS, regarding the rebellion, in which the following occurred: ...Tairrensolr DAVI:4 said to me last Sunday (and with all his taults 4 .l believe him a man of truth) 'This war must go on until the last of this generation falls into his tracks, and his children seize his musket and light our battle. unless Ki r e u a tnArlf i f i ig i o n tu g fo r r igl v t e o ry sel w flo ar r e er fi n g T i ; i n n t i for independence, and that or extermination we will have. , • We again ask the Commercial if it en. derses this estimate of DAVIS' veracity? `if it does'not we again demand to know why it.givea it publicity? We have no desire to be unnecessarily cruel to dumb animals, because there is a statute against it; still we must make the Com zrkercial tents readers if it regards the head rebel chieftan as being "a man of Oath:" To what shameless and miserable ex pedients are our Abolition opponents driven, in the hope of helping their sinking cause? In order to break the force of the evident and repeated desire for peace,from Southern representatives, these desperate partizans concocted the iniagitrary story in question, in order to create the impression that JEFF. Da vis prefers the extermination of his people to peace upon any terms within the Union! But the whole lie has al• ready been exploded; it has vanished into thin air,and here is the proof copied from the Commercial's own Washington correspondent, as it appears in yester day's issue of that paper: "It is not Ascertained on inquiry st the proper quarter thitt tee pass under watch Loire so Krans (3-msmas and CoL JAvkalllti went to Richmond, was issued by either the President or War Department, as Ls the obvious interface from Mr. Ortmon6'B published statements, General BcrprArai however, can probably tell who signed it. The reader of the bungling romance In question, will remember that it stated that President LiNCOLIsi had given JACQUES &Co a letter to Gen. GRANT who passed them through his lines and — sent them on to Richmond. It is now ascertained, by the Commercial's own correspondent, that such is not the case; but still, upon the strength of the ex ploded falsehood in question it still re gards JEFF Dims as being a man of truth The Commercial, we again re peat, will oblige us by explaining how, •as a "loyal" paper, intensely patriotic," it can award to the Mississippi repudia tor and arch rebel," a quality so rare even among Abolitionists? we mean truth. Although little better than one of the wicked, ourself, it is a source of consolation for us to know, that under no circumstances could we like our Ab olitionists admit JEFF DAVIS to truth telling society. But this conduct of our Abolition politicians, is but an ad ditional illustration of their dissimula tion and hypocracy. If it would con tinue them in power, they would pro claim JEFF DAVIS a saint, instead of a devil. They would plate sin with, gold, in order that it might serve theirinfer. nal purposes. HOw different is it with the honest, truth loving Democracy? Republican Committee at Saratoga.

Mr. Gnks:LEY,.tvith a sagacity super :or to that of his party, is -sensible of the idiocy of supposing that the South an ever be subjugated in any such ~..nse as that the property of all its cid= ens will be at the disposal of the. federJ, government. He commends Gen. FaLmoNtrt for stamping upon ; .instead of standing upon, the confiscation plank in the Cleveland platform; and he repro bates the folly of the "unconditional submission" insisted on by the Balti more Convention. To use Mr. GREE LEY'S expressive epithet, those who be lieve in such absurdities are "zanies." We are too well pleased with this evi ,fence of political sanity on the part of Mr. GREELEY, to attempt to pester him by pushing his views to their extreme logical consequences, or deducing from them inferences which he does not ad mit. We have also too much respect for his sincerity to suppose that his man ly position on this subject is taken on any other ground than conviction. Where the soundness of an opinion ought to secure its reception, that or ac counting for it should be deemed sell ( it•nt. But Mr. GREELEY'S treatment of Mr. LINCOLN'S manifesto resembles that sometimes bestowed on a bad boy by a generous father, who attempts to reform him by attributing to him the qualities he desires to encourage. Mr. GREELEY infers that the President abjures "un conditional submission." But Mr. LlN cot.N's liberality is thatof a hangman who allows his patient to negotiate whether he will be strangled with a withe or with a rope. We cannot expect the South to look at slavery through northern eyes. In their estimation, to surrender is not only to sacrifice the most valuable part of their property, it is to surrender their only guarantee for the continu ance of any rights. The power to wrest from them this possession, implies the power to wrest from them their every possession; for the barrier of state rights is as much broken over in destroying slavery as it would be in destroying any other species of property. Our fathers rebelled against the stamp act, not be cause the burden was heavy, but because the right to take the small tax, if admit ted, implied the right of Parliament to take property without limit. The South have, in their own estimation, a much stronger case. If the federal govern. ment can overstep the Constitution to annihilate the thousands of millions of property in slaves, the only barrier is broken down which can protect any por• rion of their property. It is solemn trifling for the President to talk of lib erality to the South in the same breath in which he demands the abandonment of slavery. It 4s-like telling a rommun• ity of Jews that if they consent to eat pork they will be treated with great in dulgence in other respects. The tyranny whi h would force such a condition im plies all other tyranny. Nu matter how absurd you may deem the religious scruple against swine's flesh, the wisdom of such a measure is to be determined by regarding it from their point of view. Should there be a Catholic rebellion in Ireland, it would be a strange sort of statesmanship that should attempt to prevent its recurrence by extinguishing its cause, and should offer liberal terms to the Irish if they would renounce their religion in token of submission.—Y. Y. World. The Committee of Wnys and Means of the House of Representatives are now in session in Cresson to rev,sc and report a Revenue Bill for the extra s •scion which meets in August. We understand the Committee intend to tax all church property as well as charitable institutions . TETE following is from Kentucky. A man calling himself Capt. Moore, and professing to be a rebel soldier, entered Bardstown on Monday last, and thought to terrify the citizens by an exhibition of cool bravado. He strutted about the town with great pomposity, and flourish ed his pistols in a reckless manner. He entered one of the business houses and demanded of the merchant the key of his safe. He was asked if he visited the town in the rapacity of a guerrilla when he answered "No;" and said that tu• was a ligitimate soldier in the Confeder ate service. While engaged in a parley with the merchant about the safe key, a gentleman passed by armed with a pis tol. Moore commanded him to halt and deliver up his arms. This the gentleman declined most positively to do, and warned the captain to keep his distance. The warning was not heeded; the robber advanced and attempted to gain the pis tol by force, when the gentleman fired and severely wounded the daring cut throat. In his visit to Bardstown, and the air of bravado with which he walked the streets. Moor exhibited a fearless. ness and a reckless daring worthy of a better man and a better cause. IT appears that the South is desirous of getting rid of all non-combatants and those who cannot help the Confederacy during the present war, Numbers are being daily sent North, whether it is be cause the South is unable to provide for them any longer, or that they wish to be able in this manner to furnish the army with food for a longer term, it is difficult for us to determine. As to the numbers, we have only to quote the fol lowing: The train which arrived from Nashville last evening brought up from the South two hundred and forty-nine women and children, who are sent here by order of General Shermna, to be transferred north of the Ohio River, there to remain during the war.' We understand that there are now at Nash ville fifteen hundred women and children who are in a very destitute couditio, and who will be sent to this place to be sent North. A number of them were engag ed in the manufactories at Sweetwater at the time that place was captured by our forces. These people are mostly in a destitute condition, having no means to provide for themselves a support. Louisville Democrat 31st.

THE POST---PITTSBURGH, ~AHURSDAY . MORNING, JULY 28, 1864. THE POPE The Roman correspondent of the French Protestant journal, the Temps, in a late number has the courage to give the following account of the Holy Fath er's daily life: "I gave you during the Winter an account of the system of Pa -1 pal audiences. Every minister, every cardinal prefect_ of any cougregation, of any high office, r and as all the cardinals have some commission of the kind—we may say every cardinal—every prelate secretary of the various religious orders, political or judiciary institutions—every personage, in a word, who has a notable responsibility, comes once a week at least to speak to the Pope, and present him a brief abstract of the affairs en trusted to him, of the letters which he aas to write, of the questions raised, of the contests which have happened, of the shortcomings of the qualifications of the persons under his jurisdiction, in tine, of all that relates to the part of the general work allotted to him. I have been obliged to study and observe for a long time, to realize a true idea of this system, in a country where no real pub licity brings into light the workings of the Government. At first I fell into the vulgar error of believing that the Pope was a king. I will not say faineant, but merely contemplative, who left every thiug to the special Cardinal who is called the Secretary of State. Nothing is so contrary to the reality. The Pa pal Government is the most intensely personal Government which has ever existed and which can be conceived. There is not a question even very secon ary in ap:iearan,.:: about which the Holy Father has not been in formed,-and upon which lie has not to give his special advice. The Secretary of State comes every morning to work with him, just as Collect worked with Louis XIV., but with this difference, that the Ho) , Father knows everything in detail, that he works in earnest, that he has all the materials of control, that he is extraordinarily laborious, that he is engaged with business for about nine hours a day, that he neither hunts nor gambles, that he gives audiences even during his walks, that he has the most eminently occupied life that is to be found in any royal or ministerial palace, from one end of Europe to the other. Such Is what I have to say to rectify false appreciations on the habits of life in the Vatican. The Pope has no other time entirely to himself but from ti in the morning to 8 o'clock, and 1} to 31 o'clock. He has so little time left to read, but one of his enjoyments is, on the day which there are nu audiences, on ac count of some feast day, that is to say, about three times a month, to go and shut himself in the Casino of the garden, along with some of the young prelates,to take a bath of reading. The summa of St. Thomas. Dante, the great synthetic works, rather than works of erudition and of controvarsy, are his favorite books. He has a peculiar habit in the way of reading. Whenever French pre lates who reside in Rome, conic to his audience, he tells them. 'Read a little French for me.' And he takes up from his table some of the pastoral letters of the Bishops of France, especially those of Mgr. Pie. the Bishop of Polciers. What amuses him much is to hear Latid pronounced in the French fashion. When a page or two have thus been read, he rings the bell and orders up a biscuit and a glass of por: wine, which hit then offers to the reader. Sometimes, but seldom, however, he has on his tattle an Italian, French, or Spanish journal he does not like newspapers. At the Vatican. higr Berardi is the only one who reads them habitually. Card inal Antonelli professes never to look into any. Pius IX. has a certain number of peculiar ideas; lie is certainly the most cultivated man of The whole Court. Ilis criticism on parliamentary Government is very sharp. 'With :dl possible pre cautions,' he says, 'parliament ends in evitably _by submitting to one or two dominant geniuses; and as these geni uses are Nreenus from efforts and strug gles, they are very restless and tyrani cal.' Another very sAtled idea of Pius IX. is as follows "The point of aspect of freedom taken by modern sot iety is false." The principle of the sophist, Rousseau, and of the revolution, his daughter, end in the absorption of errors and fatuities t(y rite tstste. In tact. the try is set up of 'Liberty no lutes! f am to be my ()% n master.' And, is men are in general silly children, very excited, and with but butt. cone mon sense, they quickly abuse liberty; they abuse it so fo distely that very soon a despot is needed, geueraly ti military despot, who sets up hat shly a state of things which dominates over individual passions, who centralize, everything and multiplies the agents 01 his power. If on the contrary, doctrine is complete; it it is remembered that (-very absolute formula is contrary to the c•anplexity of the human soul, if eare is taken t tftwish freedom of duty, religion and the authority of the church, who is the essential director of mankind, tile men enter into political lib- with previous and legitimate checks which tilt.y tip. ply to themselves, and despotism has no longer any pat i t play,'Pi its IX. 111tH VIII. and of the other pontiffs who wished to subject kings, and eon stitute iu the papacy a supreme arbitra tion for sovereigns and nations. Be hesitated not in declaring that the right principle, and even the ideal political perfection. He said as nearly as possi ble, this: 'There is no necessity to re vive the ancient customs according to which the Popes absolve subjects of their allegiance to their sovereigns. But what is more desirable is that the Ro man Pontiff should be placed in a posi• Lion to teach to everyone the way to be followed, and especially the way to judge of the questions which arise from nation to elation. This is the only so lution of all modern aspirations.' The essential temperament of the present Pope is to set aside spontaneously all contentious proceedings, the polemical. side of things. For instance, he is of opinion that preaching should not be aggressive; that is not a good process The method of exposition should be es pecially adhered to.' " The number of deaths in the Confed erate army reported to the Second Aud itor's office at Richmond, up to Decem ber 31, 1863, 57,90:5, distributed among the States as follows: Georgia, 9,604; Alabama, 8.987. North Carolina, 9,261; Texas, 6,377: Virginia, 5,813; Mississip pi, 5,367; South Carolina, 4,511; Louisi ana, 3,039; Arkansas, 1,949; Florida; 1,119. These numbers are certainly very great for the low State of popula tion in the South and would be quite sufficient to demonstrate the awful de struction of our civil war, Neverthe less we are of opinion that the South did not escape with such a comparative ly small loss us this statement would have us believe, and the proportion be tween our losses and theirs must have been greater. It is in the interest of the confederacy to represent their losses at the lowest degree possible, to show how long they will be in a posi tion of sustaining their ground. Pr is believed in Philadelphia, that the recent conflagrations whicn occur red so frequently in that city, especially on government works, are attributable to the few remaining guerrillas who be longed to Moseby'a band, but for some motive hitherto unknown, have remain ed in Philadelphia and the adjoining neighborhood.. Several of .those ,vaga bonds have been already arreste d„ and it is thought that more will be so soon. All combustible property is -put4under vigilant guard from these .iicendiary tires, as it is hoped that they will not be removed_ Is Mr. Lincoln Prepared For An other Indasion? - - - - - - - , `There are rumors afloat, which are not at - all -improbable, that the rebels are getting ready for another invasion of Maryland: If General Grant un able to keep Lee emplOyed in his front, it is very certain that that enterprising officer will kee fr . on making raids up the Shenandoah by way of diversion. They have never failed him yet, and have done the Union cause more damage than any one of the other military op erations of the rebels. In view of the probability, or at least the possibility, of another invasion, the country would like to know a hether the administation has taken any of the precaut'ons Gener il McClellan urged when he was in com mand of our armies. We reproduce a portion of an article on this subject which recently appeared in the National fatelligencer: It is obvious to the most unmilitary mind that in order to guard the side ap proach to Washington via the Shenan doah valley, a post of observation should be selected at such point in or near the valley as shall enable the force which occupies it to discern the approach of danger in time to guard against the di a cent of the blow, and to calculate its probable weight wherever it may fall. Before starting out on the campaign against Richmond in the spring of 1802, tieneral McClellan was careful rude precautions on this se , re. Under dale if March 10th. in that year, he wrote to Get,- eral Ranks (who had been selected 1 ,, watch the valley an follow: "Your first care a ill I e the rebuilding of the railway from \Vashingum to Manassas, and to Strawsburg, in order to open your communication with the valley of the Shenandoah. As soon as the Manassas Gap Railway is in run ning order, intrench a brigade of infant ry, say four regiments, with two batter. ies, at or near the point where the rail way crosses the Shenandoah. Some thing like two regiments of cavalry should be left in that vicinity to occupy Winchester and thoroughly scour the country south of the railway and up the Shenandoah valley, as well as through Chester gap, which might, perhaps, be advantageously occupied by a detach. ment of infantry, well entrenched. Block-houses should be built at all the railway bridges. Occupy by grand guards Warrenton Junction and War renton itself, and also sine little more advanced points on the Orange and Al exandria railroad, as soon us the rail way bridge is repaired. Great activity should be observed by the cavalry. Besides the two regiments at Manassas, another regiment of cav alry will be at your disposal, to scour toward the Occoquan, and probably , a fourth toward Leesburg.

On being asked if he had any other deadly weapons, he presented a common knife, but when the Sheriff approached to re ceive it, lie suddenly struck at hint with a dirk, cutting hint on the inner side of the thigh.

He has not yet been captured. DONALD 111 . KA.v, has written a letter in defence of the light draft monitors. The gentleman who is an experienced ship-builder asserts that those monitors which have been considered as failures, can be altered at much lees cost than reported, and that the department has delegated Captain Ericson to make such improvements as will render them avail able for coast and harbor defense. Ile recommends the construction of sea-go ing wooden vessels heavily iron clad with high speed and from twenty-four to thirty guns. This probably would be an improvement on the monitors which have no sea-going qualities, and cause enormous expenditures, without being available at all sorts of service. But even at harbor dafense the monitors are not worth much, as experience has shown that thf•y- are by no means in vulnerable, and are so slow in s7ced that any ordinary foe can escape them. JEFF. DAVIS' ULTINIATUM.— In his in terview with Edmund Kirke Gilmore the rebel chief is said to have declared that the independence of the South was his ultimatum. In this Jeff. Davis rep resents the wishes of the majority of the Southern people about as truly as Lin coln represents the wishes of the North ern people when he makes the abolition of slavery one of the terms, of his ulti matum. Spite of the politicians on both sides the people of both sections will yet get together in the Union. .

Every time a sick person is purged by this vege- table remedy, he has less vitiated humors and more life and vigor, as any one can prove by inking a single dote. Persons of spare habits gain flesh and strength While using them. Every time we rest a Lew days or weeks from the pur gation, we make new fluids from our food, which replace the uneottuti ones that the Pills have caused to be evacuated. Each time we repeat this process, we expel further quantities of impurities, which are again replaced by fluids less and less impure, so that in a short time, by continuing this treatment, we bring back the whole .mass of Maids or humors to that state of purity Which constitutes health, for Bran dreth's Pills only take away humors which are unsound. - .
