The Democratic State Convention. The Democracy of the Keystone, cele brated the 4th of July, at Harrisburg, by assembling in Convention and nominating a ticket pledged to the principles and policy of the fathers. The sacred iinniversary of A mericaa Independence, was a fit occasion for the meeting of a convention of Demo crats; and the nominations made, and the resolutions passed on that occasion, prove that the glory and sanctity of our nation's birthday, were not unappreciated by the members of that body. HON. ISAAC SLENICER, of Union count}', was nominated for Auditor General, and COL. JAMES P. BARE, of Pitts burg, editor of the Post, received the nom ination for Surveyor General. The charac- tot of tfae nominees, Both as Democrats and citizens, is beyond reproach. They are gentlemen well qualified for the discharge of the duties pertaining to the offices for which they are severally named. Mr. SLEN KEJI is an eminent lawyer, widely known as a man of ability and sterling honesty. His popularity at home, is very great. This tact is fully, attested by the canvass of the judicial district in which he resides, made by him, last fall, for the office of President Judge. With a Republican majority of sev eral thousand against him, and having op posed to him a man of great personal pop ularity, Mr. Slenkcr came within 17 votes of being elected, and would have been suc cessful it none but the legal votes cast had been counted. In his case, too, the office is seeking the man, not the man the office. He was not a candidate, of Lis own choice, for the nomination conferred upon him. It was only after prolonged and earnest solici tation upon the part of his friends, that he could be induced to allow his name to be the Convention. P. IIARK, the nominee for Surveyor General, is a man of energy, pru dence and ability, and a firm and upright Democrat. For a number of years he has conducted, with marked ability, the old or gan of the Democracy in Westcrn Pennsyl vania, the Pittsburg.jformVry I'ost. His nomination Will secure a large Democratic vote in his section of the State, where Re publicanism generally has had every thing its own way. In short, we believe that the ticket composed, as just stated, is a good one and will be endorsed by a large majori ty of the voters of the State, at the coming election. The resolutions adopted by the Conven tion, wc are unable to lay before our read ers in this issue. They will appear in our next. Suffice for the present, to say, that they are Democratic to the core, and breathe t hat spirit of true conservatism which alone can restore the "Union as it was and preserve the Constitution as it is." War News. We give in our columns such news as wc find in our latest exchanges, and as wc can obtain by telegraph. We do not pretend to vouch for the correctness of the reports of battles and of the operations of our army. There is not a single independent daily newspaper published at this day in city in the Union. 'They are all mere machines wor kef by wire-pullers at • Washington. - The public need not hojje to find true accounts of the progress of the war in the city dailies. People must expect to be humbug ged wheu the press is muzzled arid the freedom of the telegraph under ban by the War Depart ment. There is ho doubt that our arms have met mth a sad "reverse" in the late dreadful con fnets before Richmond. Gen. McClcllan's head quarters are 50 miles from Richmond, by the bend of the river, and 30 miles, as "the crow flies." We believe that this disaster was not occasioned by the want of good generalship on the side of'the Union. In our opinion Gen. MeClellan did all that could be done under the circumstances. His "reverse" i 3 blameable up on the Abolition conspirators at Washington, who refused to reinforce him until too late, and who deprived him of the command of the other J columns moving upon Richmond under llanks, McDowell and Fremont. Our troops fought heroically and covered themselves with glory. The Pennsylvania Reserves, especially, deserve praise for the determined stand made by them, holding their ground, until, it is said, over half of their number, were killed and wounded or taken prisoners. At the latest account?, X!en. MeClellan had been reinforced and was again preparing to march upon the rebel capital. HOME NEWS, ETC. learn by the Philabelphia Sunday Dispatch, that Lieut. E. Eiohelburger, of Hope well, this county, has been made a prisoner by the rebels. lie was taken near "Seven Pines." EXAMINATION. —The examination of the classes in the Bedford Classical Institute, Lev. J. Lyon, Principal, washeld on Thursday last. The students acquitted themselves very credita bly. The forensic exercises of the Institute, came otf at the Court House, on the night of the Fourth. The performances were generally good. —0 ■ ■ RUMORED DEATH OF O. 11. GAITIIER, ESQ. —A painful rumor has been prevalent in this place, for some time past, to the ctfect that our young fellow townsman, O. 11. GAITIIF.R, Adjutant of the Tenth l'a. Reserves, was killed at one of the late severe battles near Richmond. We hope that the report may turn out to be without foundation. Since writing the above we have received a telegraphic despatch from W. A. Ogle, Esq., of the War Department, Washington City, stating that Adjutant Gaither was killed on Monday, 30th ult. This is sad news, indeed. We can scarcely bring ourself to realize it. We still cling to a lingering hope that Mr. Ogle's infor mation may not have been well founded and that our friend is yet among the living. C?7s"The Fourth passed otf quietly in our town. In the evening Mr. Reynolds, of New York City, gave a fino display of fire-works, which enlivened things considerably. The Dec laration of Independence was also read by R. l t>. <f-;rHon. Francis W. Ilughes, of Schuylkill eo., was President of the Democratic State Convention, at Harrisburg, on the 4th of July. Mr. Ilughes was subsequently chosen Chairman of the Democratic State Antral Committee. Gen. A. H. Coffroth, of Somerset, is the mem ber of the Committee for this Senatorial district. FORTRESS MONROE, July 5. Fresh troops arrived here from Washington yesterday, and went up the James liver in the evening. Four small steamers with four bargesi in tow, arrived at the Fortress this morning, laden with artillery, men, horses, &c., and were doubtless bound up the river. A skirmish took place yesterday in the forenoon near our left wing, which resulted in the defeat of the rebels. We took one thousand prisoners,'and three small batteries. Our cavalry followed them up till they passed beyond White Oak. For the last two days the rebels have shown little disposition to tight, and yesterday relinquished their ground and batteries almost without resistance. COUNTY CORRESPONDENCE. CENTRKVUXE, June 30, 130:2. MR. EDITOR : In accordance with the suggestions oft Mr. A, I find myself seated at my desk with my legs crossed and raised to an elevation parallel with niv head, but with four instead of two yards of homespun linen at my side. Now, as I am a clever, good-hearted sort of a fellow, if I have to say it myself, I will share it with you, Mr. A, and give you two yards to wrap up those two extra numlKrs of the Inquirer, which you sec proper to send to a certain house in order that a particular young lady may see your com munication, Now, friend A, it will become necessary in the course of human events, if you wish this young lady to understand what you are writing about, to let her see the communi cations for the Gccette. If you are so delicate as not to wish to handle the "tory organ," as you call it., then give your humble servant, Tim othy, orders to do so and he will furnish her a copy, or half a dozen of them, free gratis, for nothing. I suppose you have deserted the sub lime description of the weather and crops. I should be glad to hear from you on this ques tion, some time when you arc at leisure, as we have some weather over here, now and then, too. Notwithstanding 4he advice of your sensible pa rent you still persist in dabbling in the wool. I had thought that after having suggested the means by which you might work yourself into the colored association, and positively telling you that I would not attend your wedding, you would drop the wool question. But no, you even be come so excited and wrapped up in wool that all your mental faculties become reverstjj&nnd you attempt to act Timothy and even suiro&ded so far in addressing Mr. A, as to say it is very amusing to 0c how this specimen takes to wool. Bless your dear soul, friend A, "it's yourself that's been taking to £ho wool all the time. Did you forget 1 Next time don't let it get in your eyes. Mr. A, you are almost.as slippery as an eel, and much like the Irishman's Hen, which was Always gone when he attempted to put his fin ger on it. A month or two ngo yoH entertain ed the readers of the Inquirer with an essay on the weather, the crops, school directors nnd teachers'institutes; later with a political com- I munication, finely spiced with the nigger. And now we have before us a tirade of abuse pour ed upon nearly every one, both right and left; what the next will be my imagination fails mc when I attempt to conceive. I would just state here, Mr. A, that it is Very ungetitleinanly in you to bo railing at persons that have laid noth ing in your way. My writing is no clique busi ness ; so, if there is any thing in it you don't like, put your slang at me. Yes, friend A, there is a great dual of truth in the saying, "liu down with swine and get up with fleas; and no per son knows it better than your distinguished self; for 1 suppose you speak from experience. You certainly arc full of them/ lie careful, son, that you don't- get one in your ear. You say that my previous letters are a misrepresentation of your sentiments and those of Other Republicans of your section of the country. Now, sir, in answer to this accusation, I would sny that to make an assertion is quite u different tiling from substantiating it, and an assertion unsubstanti ated injures none but the person who makes it. So, sir, you are a downright falsifier in saying that I said aught concerning any Republican in your vicinity excepting yourself. As for you, we will now proceed to inspect you a little more closely and suo if all is sound in Denmark. Let ma see! As for the wife. Well, if you do want a dingy consort, you will not be. likely to ac knowledge it under present circumstances. As this is a mere matter of conjecture, I will pro ceed to facts. You saj r you are no advocate of the social or political equality of the negro. So, of course, you are no Abolitionist. But j'ou are a Black Republican, or a Turncoat . I hope you will not be so regardless of truth as to deny this. Did you not some seventeen or eighteen months ago, make a speech in your own town ship, which you announced bcforchaiH to be a Black Republican speech ? Did you not in that spcetflfembody the doctrine of the ''irrepressible conflict?" Did you not substantiate this j by extracts from the notorious Helper Book and speeches of some of the avowed Abolition ists in the country? Now, then, Mr. A, this is not exactly advocating negro equality; but when a man does this, what will lie not do if an op portunity presents itself? Besides this speech, your letters show your principles. You could not write a short* essay upOn the weather and crops without spicing It with the "everlasting nigger." "Nigger" is your tune—and "nigger" is your song, and it's nigger with you all along. Haven't you forgot the "jug" of sixty-one, that you must be heaping your pretty epithots.upon a boy of some thirteen or fourteen years of age ? Truly, consistency, thou art a jewel! and iiow important that big guns, like A, should bear this in mind. You ask what the constitutional rights of the traitor arc. As you seem so con fident in expressing your belief that I do not know it is with equal confidence that I believe you to be too much of an ignoramus to under stand did I explain. You ask mc how lam go ing to settle the war. Well, friend A, this is a big question, indeed, but as old Abr'm. Lincoln is President, instead of your humble servant, Timothy Swipes, it so happen?) that I have not got the settlement of it- Again, you ask who are to pay the expenses of the war ? In this ease, Mr. A, unless you reckon the paltry sum of a few millions against the lives of thousands of our best citizens, we are all paying for it, at a dear rate. You sjieak very confidently of the downfall of Democracy. This is worse than the silliest nonsense. What! The party whioli has so gallantly met ami dispersed nil llie gerous iaais of the past half century, to be oyeri come by the filthy intrigues of party founded upon the infidelity of Tom Paine and the cor ruptAhs of the worst of all the revolutionary cabals that ever existed! I have no reason to doubt your saying, Mr. A, that small minds imagine themselves great, and that hank cartridges do no harm, for if that article of yours, of the 2tbl of June, had con tained the special thunder which you intended for one Timothy Swipes, it certainly would have blown him out of existence. TIMOTHY SWIPES. For the Gazette. Celebration at Bloody Run. The 4th was a gala day at Bloody Run. The ban roso with majestic Splendor, and ear ly, the good people of all ages of that town and neighborhood took up the line of march to the beautiful grove on the opposite side of the river. The speakers appeared on the stand that had been previously arranged with consid erable care. Appropriate devices, together with the tiag of the Union, adorned the front, and the speeches were of that kind that never fails to rivit the attention of an audience un til the Speakers closed. An invitation was then extended to partake of the delicacies, and luxuries prepared by the ladies; and oiie and mil did ample juctice to the dainty repast. The young ladies and gentlemen afterword enjoyed the occasion, quite satifactorly to themselves and (judging from the singing) they expect to "bo happy when they jpow old." The Bed ford fantastic boys paid thorn a spocial visit and one of their number made n patriotic and do- , /fueut speech, which was heartily cheered by the | way. Such celebrations are certainly encour aging to the youths of our land, and every town, and village, and rural district ought to have one on every fourth of July, to teach them to love their country and reverence its beneficent institutions; so that the seeds of tro'a* ! sondblc discord may never again find a lodging place in the hearts of the American people, such as now distracts our nation, and causes a leoling of fear to pervade the hearts of those who are supporting the right against the wrong. SATTEE. ARMY CORBESPOIEiIE. POWERS' ZOUAVES CAMP, 7Gth Pa. Reg. 1 Co. E, James Island, S. C., June 22,'C2. } DEAR EDITOR : You sec that our columns arc now moving upon Charleston, and in consequence thereof, we have not heard from our friends for near two months, and not having opportunity of giving account of ourselves otherwise, we wish to friends a full account through yymr colummpfor they arc, no doubt, anxious from us. And while wc write, a profound sorrow ard impassable gloom rests upon our minds at the death of mir estimable and worthy comrades, Watson King and J. .T. Fetter, who died at the general hospital on Hilton Head, having been left back, on the sick list when the regiment moved. They were bravo soldiers and noble hearted, and were bound to us by the warmest tics of a soldiers regards. Yet such is the stern decree of Providence and wo must submit. Our regiment left Hilton Ilead, 30th May, aboard steamer Cosmopolitan, and sailed for North Edisto, landed there at 12 o'clock the same night, and there joined the moving army, Wright's, Williams' and Stevens' Brigades, Brevet Brigadier Gen. Welch commanding our brigade. We here found the 55th Pa., in good health, and our boys very hapy to meet eacli other. They were left back to hold Fort Edisto. On Sunday night our brigades were transpor ted across to John's Island and by 7 o'clock in the morning we wore ready and took up the line of march for the opposite side of the Island. .Our baggage being left behind, except an over coat and gum blanket apiece, tfhe day was excessively hot and many poor fellows fell out by the way-side exhausted. The second day's march it rained incessantly and we waded through mild and water shoe-top deep, until about -1 in the evening we entered a beautiful little town called Greenville, on Stone river and here our army cantoned for a few days, as we found the town entirely deserted. In throwing out pickets here, our company took quarters in a beautiful farm house, and found it to be the residence of Hon. B. S. Bryan of this state. The house was furnished with the richest furniture, with Library cases, Mirrors, Mahogany bed steads, Marble topped tables, &c., a Piano probably worth 500 dol lars. It is needless to say that the boys ran sacked everything, and tried their skill at the Piano, seeming better pleased at sweeping the keys than fingering the triggers of their rifles. After resting a few days and waiting till the baggage and part of the artillery came up, we were transported across Stone river to James Island under cover of several heavy gun boats, and landed by a pontoon bridge, or dock, within two miles of the rebel camps and a number of batteries. Four brigades now occupy the south end of £his Island, Stevens' brigade occu pying the right having taken two sand batteries. We are now strongly entrenched, and are busy planting batteries before our lines. Several heavy mortar battefies are now planted before Stevens' brigade, all being done during the night. The enemy shell us nearly every day, and wo have had two small battles, or skirmishes, al ready. They gave us twenty four hours to leave the Island, but we concluded not to leave, 'you know,'as we felt well able to hold our po sition. Four brigades, six batteries of light artillery, and several of heavy artillery, witli five heavy gun-boats, cover our rear from Stone river. Wo put out pickets by regiment, our lines being only 300 yards from theirs. A regiment and a half picket the lines of the left and cen tre, and the rebels shell them every night, and have killed several of our regiment. On the evening of the 11 th inst.,a body of some 700 rebels sallied out and attacked our pickets just in front of our lines, parts of the 97th and 45th Pa., and 47th N. Y. regiments and a skirmish ensued. Our gallant Pa. boys met them like veterans, and, in 15 minutes, re pulsed them, firing kneeling. In a few minutes they rallied to the charge again. Our boys re ceiving them with a steady roar of small arms, while fleet as steam, flew the Hampton battery of two brass howitzers to the rescue, and poured a tempest of grape and canister into their left flank that soon, made them fall back. They retired after an hour's struggle leaving 70 men killed and 90 wounded on the field. While our loss was only 3 men killed and 9 wounded. After the firing censed our regiment was or dered out and we relieved our powder slacken - fcu!\l fche J). M autl picketed llie lines the night. It was a horrible sight to our inexperienced eyes. There lay the poor fellows distorted and pale, and covered with blood, the Imrdest look ing objects wo ever saw. They had no regular u niform, but all kinds of rags, and a misera ble old dirty bag for knapsacks, and all the while unconscious of being in (he curious pres ence of the Yankees. On the night of the 11th, cos. E, K, G, and B, held the left of our picket lines in the dense woods, at a cross road, right opposite the reb els. Co. E held the left, G the main and K the right road, Co. B still further to the right, the body of the companies lying at the cross as reserves. AH was quiet until about two hours before day, a party of rebels fell into and fired on Co. G's pickets. They fired one round and then fell back on the resorve. Sergeant Miller myself—and ,Tas. Duffy—were posted between the roads, and as Co. G's pickets rallied past us, two rebels carae up to cut off the retreat fired across our post, when Co K fired a fall volley into us, thinking wc were rebels. Miller and Duffy fired into the twy rebels, while I reserved my fire for those that might follow up the pick ets. But the rebels fell back, and wc then ral lied on our reserve, amid another full volley from Co. K, the halls rattling like nuts from a tree, but fortunately harmless. Wo formed and lay in a ditch at the head of our road. But the rebels not liking the crack of an En field rifle in the dark, prudently withdrew, and at day light, we took our posts again. Noth ing important occurred tlmt day, except that as Lieut.. Barndollar was walking up our pick et line, two rebels who lay behind a stump, cocked their pieces for him, which was plainly heard, when quick as thought two of berg't. Pilkington's men, on post, fired and routed the devils. Co. B lost a sergeant ami one man and Co. K a man wounded during the night. On tlio tnor.ung of 10th Gen. Stevens' bri gade had an engagement in reconnoitring the strength of the enemy's post. A continuous fire was kept up from daylight till near noon. At about ton the 100 th Pa. or Roundhead reg iment charged on the first battery and took it at the point of the bayonet. The spiked their guns and then left. But were forced to leave it, as the 28th Massachusetts I failed to come up to support them. Our loss is heavy. It is said it will reach 75{Tmen, kil led, wounded and missing. * The rebels suffered no less severely and so rests the armies, preparing for another and more obstinate struggle. We expect to fight every step of our way to Charleston, which is only 8 miles, and we have the flower of the rebel army to encounter. People! what do you think of the Emancipa tion edict of Gen. Hunter ? Tho attempt of a Muj. General of the U. S. A., to transcend the authority of the National congress itself in meddling with domestic con cerns of sovereign States. Wo are glad to sec it cancelled by tho Presi dent, and that lie is to be superceded in com mand of the department by General Cadwalader. . We receive payment in a few days again, up to Ist May. Tho boys hero are tolerably well. Agncw, Mittong and several others are on Hilton Head, on sick list, but are now conva lescent. Henry Penncll has been sent back to the hospital. The boys are in gay spirits (although we havo it very hard) and evince a most daring spirit of | coolness when on the field, and are anxiou3 for the general conflict when the enemy must be routed from this Island, or the starry pennant shall full to the ground. We hardly expect to eat our 4th July dinner iu Charleston, but expect to date our next let ter there, and recruit our thinned and scattered ranks and exhausted energies in that modem Babylon. Send us a few papers, and address Port Roy al, as usual. We must stop, for in two hours we go on pieket. Look for desperate fighting ere long, and publish this and send us a copy. In haste, Yours, &c., J. H. RAWLINS, D. S. ELLIOT, WHITE OAIC SWAMP, Va., ) June 22, 18G2. ) DEAR MOTHER: This is the Lord's day, but we have been out on inspection by our General, all morning, I thought, therefore, it would not be any more harm to write a letter. We are all "laying a round loose," keeping cool the best way we can, panting like "sheep in the shambles." There has been nothing going on here since we come to excite the boys. Every thing is quiet except the usual amount of picketing and drilling. Every morning we have to get up and form a line of battle at half past 3 o'clock. It is a standing order by McClellan. There are 200 men detailed out of our Brigade every daj' to go to the White Oak Swamp to fell the tim ber along the edges, to give the Artillery fair sweep in case the rebels want to try to break through at this point, which looks very proba ble. If they do, they will find Casey's Division again, what is left of them. Our Regiment is in very had condition, and I am afraid will never le recruited up, right again, for so many of the hoys are sick, and so many have died. It is a hard sight to go th rough .our hospital tents and look at the sick, suffering and dying for want of proper attention. Young men that have left good homes for their coun try's cause, thought they would never have to come to that. Our company has suffered a great denl by sickness and death. I don't think it will be long before the deci sion of the fate of Richmond will Is; made one way or the other. There is skirmishing going on all the time along the lines. The other day I went out with two others of our company about four miles, across the White Oak Swamp. We had to cross the swamp on old fallen timber, with them sometimes break ing and leaving us down into the mud up ovet our knees, where we would have to help each other out. We went to an old Seccsher's house and got some mulberries and buttermilk, lie has three sons in the rebel army, but he would not say much. lie had two ns pretty girls as you would want to see, any place. He asked me hack, but after I got back to camp I came to the conclusion that absence of body was bet ter than presence of mind; for it was too far outside of our pickets. We had hut one killed in the fight at Seven Pines and nine wounded out of 25 of our com pany that were in the fight. The one killed was Jacob Wike, of Alleghany county. Our wounded were all sent off" to the hospital. I have never heard how they are getting along. W-c bad one num. missing, thai T wrote to you about. I thought be was dead, but lie was ta ken prisoner, and is in Richmond. That was Solomon Keller, of Red ford county. Joseph Ikuinon is safe. J. B. IIELM. LATE FROM GEN. M CLELLAN." Arrival of 533 Rebel Prisoners. TWENTY-FIVE GUNS LOST. Seventeen Gunboats in James River. WASHINGTON - , July s —Dispatches have been received from General McClollan, dated as late as one o'clock, P. M., 011 Friday, the Fourth of July. • The following is their substance, omitting mil itary details and operations not proper for pres ent publication: There lias boon no fighting since Tuesday night, when the enemy were repulsed with great slaughter. The army moved to the position since occu pied, because it affords greatly superior advan tages for the co-operation of the gunboats, of which seventeen are now in the river, protecting the flanks of the army. Statements of the casualties of the eight days' fighting canijot yet he furnished. Our forces were not bent' n in an y conflict, nor could they be driven from. field by the efforts of the enemy. The conduct of the troops, in every com mand and under all circumstances, was admi rable. No guns have been lost since the engagement 011 Friday, June 27th, when Gen. MeCall's di vision was at the onset overwhelmed by su[ie rior numbers, and twenty-live pieces fell into the hands of the enemy. The sick and wounded are being sent forward to the hospitals. At one o'clock yesterday (the Fourth,) the army was drawn up in its positions for re view ; bands were playing, national salutes were fired, and things looking bright. WASHINGTON, July s. —The latest advices at the War Department, from General McClellan's arm} - , are dated at 9 o'elock, yesterday morn ing, up to which time there had been no fight ing since Tuesday. • General Dix reports the arrival of 533 rebel prisoners, being a part of those taken during the late battles. Among thein are several Colouels and Majors.
