It is a significant fact that the ouly Gon ral besides MeClellan, who has successfully led an army against the Rebels, is in poli tics, what the stay-at-home Abolitionists de nominate a "Copperhead." We allude to Gen, Grant, the hero of Ft. Donelson and Vickflburg. He has gained the only two great successes of the war, and yet he has freely permitted the Chicago Times, the New York World, and even the Bedford Gazette to circulate within his lines, has never suppressed a single newspaper, nor deprived a single citizen of his civil rights. Hurrah for Grant and every General like him! GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK. —"Godcy," for August, is on our tabic, and, wo must say, entirely maintains its high position as a leading fashion magazine, whilst its needle work department is as useful and full of in struction as ever. The fashion-plates in "Godcy" aro always well executed and as for reliability, t hey arc entirely beyond ques tion. PETERSON'S MAGAZINE. —We have be fore us the August number of this valuable work.

Peterson is always interesting and in structive. , fctrTlie draft Ins been suspended in the Bradford district, owing to>thefact that the papers of the Provost Marshal have been stolen from his office. This is pretty well for one of the blackest Abolition districts in the state. The "loyal men" of Brad l'ord have a very tender regard for their own persons and will, doubtless, do any thing to keep out of danger yet a little longer. -The news from Mexico is to the ef fect that that country lias been declared an empire, Maximilian of Austria, to be the Kmjicror. . ®yMrssrs. Lowry & Eichelbergcr have made some valuable discoveries on the iron ore land of Messrs. Schell, Russell & Tate, at Bloody Bun. They have proved the Hematite scam of ore to bo from 10 to 14 feet in thickness. They have shafted over forty feet through the ore and have driven a tunnel from the rail road in to the ore. The vein appears to lie inexhaustible.— Bedford.is emphatically the Iron County of the State, inasmuch us it can lie manufactured here chenper than any where else. We have ore, coal and lime-stone in close proximity, plenty of timber and fine water power. "The Curse of Party." Under the above caption the Bedford Inquirer, of last week, indulges in an overstrained and grandiloquent homily upon the subject of cling ing to party. It takes very good care, however, to direct its remarks only to Domocrats. It never once recommends its own political friends to abandon their party organization. That trite Ymd homely, but nevertheless true and compre hensive adage, "What is sauce for the goose, is sauce for the gander," seems to have been forgot ten by the editor of that paper. It would be very gratifying to him, wo make no doubt, to have the opponents of Abolitionism ground their arms and permit the party which maintains and defends their ruinous doctrine, to secure such local and State offices as will enable it to per petuate its adherents in power. It would suit him exactly to have the political opponents of the present State and Federal Administrations, close their mouths and suffer the Constitution to be violated, the rights of the States and the people to be trampled under foot, the public treasury plundered, and even our gallant sol diers defrauded of their clothing and their pay. It would be his delight to see Democrats aban don their opposition to such men as Fremont and Butler and Cameron, whom the President was forced to send into retirement on account of their corruption and incapacity. And as for Gov. Curtin, under whose auspices the infa mous "shoddy" speculations were made, at the expense of the comfort and life of Pennsylvania soldiers, it would suit this Abolition scribbler most admirably if all criticism of the official acts of his excellency would be hushed, as the aforesaid Curtin, itis now thought, willcertainly be renominated by his party. But let us inquire, for a moment, who clings to "party" with the greatest tenacity and whose fault it is that the opposition to the men in power is so strong and irresistible. When the Cotton States were about to secede, a compromise aliko fair, equitable aud honora ble to both sections, was proposed by Mr. Crit tenden. Petitions from all parts of the country asking the adoption of the compromise, poured in upon Congress. The prayers of the nation went up in its favor, and its vencrablo author, with tears in his eyes, implored tho "Republican" Senators to accept it, but all in vain. The creed of the "Republican" party, was in the way and tho "Republican" Senators would not abandon their Chicago Platform for the sake of the Crit tenden Compromise arid a peaceful and undivided country. They preferred to cling to their par ty, even at the risk of civil war and social and political anarchy. When the war broke out, although the Exec utive and a majority of Congress, were anti- Democrats, the Democracy rushed to arms to maintain tho authority of tho Constitution and the laws. But no sooner had the Democrats entered tho army and Democratic statesmen committed themselves to tho war, than Congress rcpoalcd the resolution in which it had declared the ob ject of tho war to be tho vindication of the Constitution and the restoration of the Union, and the President, influenced by Abolition par tizans, proclaimed emancipation, thus introdu cing into his war policy the doctrine always odious to a largo majority of the peoplo of the North. In this the President and the majority in Congress clung to their party dogmas, aud literally drove conservative people from their support. When Gen. McGlellau saved Pennsylvania, from invasion and after the battle of Antietam compelled the rebel army to fall back into Virginia in spite of the prayers of the people and the entreaties of the soldiers, that gallant General, at the instance of Abolition politicians was removed from bis command by the Presi dent, who again clung to bis party against the best interests of the army and of the country. The "curse of party" deprived the army of the Potomac of its ablest commander and to this day keeps him in retirement. Thus wo instances of the close adherence to "party" on the part of the opponents of Democracy, but it is unnecessary to do so. Ev ery body knows how virulent and bitter aro the adherents of the present Federal Administration in their opposition to all men who do not give that Administration an unqalified support in all its measures and acts. Did not theso men when the war began, set neighbor against neighbor, on account of politics? Did they not tlireaton to hang the Democrats and did they not destroy Democratic printing-presses and mob Demo cratic meetings' Why, their partisan rancor led them to the most shameful excesses, to riot, arson and blood-shed. The "curse of party" has been their curso and to this day they have not shaken it off. But, to conclude, if the Inquirer is so earnest on this subject of abandoning parly, why does it not recommend its own political friends in Somerset, Allegheny,and other "Republican" "strongholds, to withdraw their tickets and al low the people of those counties to elect men to ollice without reference to politics? "The proof of the pudding is the eating of it," and when the "Republicans" of Allegheny and Somerset and Bradford and Lancaster mastioato the no party pudding of the Inquirer, wc shall begin to think that it is not gotten up merely as a bait for weak and unwary Democrats. Until then, however, we can only consider it as a "very transparent trap set for gulls in a country where gulls have never before been seen." 1 lie arrivals at the Springs, during tho past week, have bceu more numerous than in the first part of the season. Among them we notice Gen. Thos. J. McKaig, Col. J. P. Ko man, T. Devecmon, Esq., Messrs. Jones and Comhs, of Cumberland, (Md.)and Messrs. Tay lor and Andei-son, Merchants, ol' Philadelphia. Roorback No. 1. We cautioned the publio some time ago a gainst the cannrd* which, we were informed, the Abolition loader* intend to put afloat concern ing the Democrat ic nominees. In the last is sue of their organ, "no of these makes its ap pearance ui a Inter purporting to have been I written from Ciunbeilnnl Valley townsliip, which says that we declared in a speech deliv ered at Smith's school-house in that township, that if the Supreme Court of the United States decided the Conscription law to be Constitution al, then "they (the drafted persons) should use powder and lend." Every body who heard the speech referred to, knows that this is false.— What wc did say and what, we intend to stand by to the last, was this: The people have the right to test the Constitutionality of the Con scription law. They can make the issue in an inferior Court and then carry it to that of final resort. If the Court of final resort dccido the ease in favor of the Constitutionality of the law, the only remedy left the people is the bal lot-box, by which a change of Representatives and Senators in Congress may be effected and the repeal of the odious law obtained. Hut should this remedy—tho ballot-box—the elec tive franchise—be interfered with or denied to the people by thoso in power, then wc shall, without doubt, have revolution, and powder and lead will determine whether wc shall continue to be freemen or not. Who's for Salo? Tlio Abolitionists are badly in want of some saleable individual who has hitherto pretended to bo a Democrat. They will give him any po sition upon their ticket, except l'rothonotary and Sheriff (those offices pay too well to make presents of) or, they will agree not to make any nomination and support him as an "indepen dent" candidate. Of course, in the latter ease, he must give them to understand that he will be dependent upon their will, after the election. Who's for sale? We arc anxious to know the man who is willing to sell his principles for office! We want to write hi 3 biography. Death of Mr. Crittenden. Hon. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, died at Frankfort in that state, on Sunday morning last. Mr. Crittenden had reached the advanced age of 77 years. The death of this venerable statesman and patriot will be mourned through ont the length and breadth of the land. CJrThe editor of the Inquirer, having failed in his efforts to instigate white mobs, now turns his attention to his "colored brethren" and sug gests to them the use of violence against the whites. In his last issue he says that he has "often stood upon the street cornel's and beheld colored men, women and children stoned, en and abused until" his "very frame shook with ire," (all of which is a nice little bit of ro mance, for, if it were true, oiir Courts would soon right the wrong,) and then he adds that some forty negroes have lately entered the army, which fact he hails "with joy; "for, says he, it tells us that the day is not far distant when the colored man will protect himself against the out rages practiced upon him by the cowardly mis creants who never leave an opportunity pass without offering him insults." This means that the negroes being armed, when they return, are to shoot down the white boys of whom this Dur borrow complains. Now, the laws protect the black man as well as the white, in person and property, and if white boys maltreat the blacks, the latter have a civil and peaceful remedy. But should the blacks ever attempt to take tho law into their own hands, and riot and blood-shed ensue, the people of Bedford will hold Mr. Jo seph It. Durborrow responsible for the crimes against law and order committed upon his sug gestion. Evidently, then, there are only two great classes in this country. The patriots who are shedding their blood in the field against the le gions of Traitors, and they are truly Martyrs for the cause of Humanity, Civilization and Progress,, and the dastardly cowards who re main at ease plotting the overthrow of the country and "aiding and abetting" Treason. This latter class has uniformly escaped punish ment, but at last the Source of All Wisdom has brought down upon them their richly mer ited recompense, By their own works have they been overtaken and the punishment has boen to a certain extent complete.— Bedford Inquirer. The "dastardly coward" of the Inquirer, who remains at ease, plotting the overthrow of the country and 'aiding and abetting' Treason," ac knowledges that his works have "overtaken him" and that ills punishment "has been ton cer tain extent complete."

Sights and Sounds from up a Tree, No. 2. Ensconced in iny usunl "perch," a "knot of those peculiar admirers of the "free American of African descent," known as "Republicans," gathered beneath me. They had evidently heard of my being "about," as they looked around them in every direction und up on my tree where I sat snugly hidden among the leaves, and cock ed their cars sharply and held their breath, in order to detect my presence or that of some one who, they feared, might overhear their conver sation. Hut no "Sharpshooter" was visible and every thing was quiet as a Sabbath morn. As sured that they were entirely alone, they began to converse in a low tone, holding forth to the following effect.- First Hep. "Well, what do you all think of tho prospects of our party I They look a little blue, don't they? We will have to overcome G25 majority if Wtrvvant to beat the Democrats. I am afraid we. can't do that." Second Hep. "Wo can't touch bottom. The people have lost confidence in us, because they say we told them that if Lincoln would be elect ed we would have better times and 110 war; and, then, there's Shannon and Meyers, confound their Copperhead skins! —they are always harp ing on our opposition to the Crittenden Compro mise, which they say was acceptable even to Jeff Davis himself, and which would have saved the Union, if we had allowed it to he adopted. Hut we must keep up our party and something must be done." Third Rep. (Slightly intoxicated; "Ilic! I think (hie!) you ure both mis (hie!) taken! Call the fellers on the Democratic tick (hie!) et "Cop perhciYds," and I'll hail you we'll (hie!) fetcli 'em 1" First llep. "Pooh! pooh! The Copperhead business is about played out. Resides we have always lost more by giving the Democrats nick names than we gained by it. That fool, Dur borrow, thinks it a great point to call the Dem ocrats "Copperheads," and to nick-name and abuse people, hut I can toll you that I know that his course, is doing us great hurt. People seo that he is trying to blackguard Shannon and Meyers and Davis only for political effect. If wc don't get him out of the Inquirer office soon, he'll sink our party so deep that the plummet of resurrection will never reach it." Second Rep. "Poor Durborrow!" First Rep. "He ought to be in 'contact' with George Sigafoos and the two in 'juxta-position' with an insane asylum!" 'Third Rep. "Jerusalem! Sig (hie!) nfoos 'll use his arm (hie !) 'in defence of his country!' You'll see he will!" First Hep. "Well, well, we're getting off the question. I still think we may be able to make something by coaxing some weak-kneed, disaf fected Democrats to go on our ticket for some of thogoffices. We can then get up the cry of •'Union ticket" and "no party," and we can be rate the Democrats at will for keeping up party divisions. But the plague is to get any of these "Democrats to stand our nomination. They know that we'll be beaten and we can't make them believe any tiling else.

"Well, it'll take sober men in their very soberest senses to do that. By the way, wo're not half cautious enough about our pro ceedings. Meyers knows every thing we do. Some of our fellows must tell him some things. Why, he even knows where our 'secret league' meets and who attends it and what is done there, and when we get any of his party to slip in with us, lie knows it instanter and gives them such hard hints about it that they are afraid to meet with us again. We must be more cau tious." Second Rep. "I think his hash 'll be settled before long. We sent a couple of his late pa pers to Gen. Milroy, and 1 think Meyers is a prominent candidate for FortMcHcnry.

First Rep. "Well, I must go and write a let ter for the Inquirer, locate it somewhere out in the country, sign it "Old Line Democrat," and ask the people for goodness' sake to vote for an honest candidate'for tho Legislature.

FRIEND BENJAMIN : Excuse me for troubling thcc again. But "when duty calls 'tis ours to obey." Hence I write thee at this time. Let me say thy defence of the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, was well-timed and true, lie has lived long among us, and the effort of Joseph Durborrow to con nect him with rowdyism or barn-burning, only recoiled upon the author and his party. Hut let me say a word about our national troubles. Oh! for one morsel of that blessed sentiment uttered in the Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed arc the peace-makers !'*Who in their madness and bigotry will now say, "no peace?" We all say peace here. It is but a little finger board, perhaps, but it points to the hearts of the people throughout the country—to the weep ing widows—the deserted firesides—the father less children—the desolated land. We claim to be honest in our peaceful opposition to the draft. It is the universal sentiment—not only of tho Democrats, but Whigs and many of our Repub licans. The man or party that now advocates it, wo will put down at the ballot-box. The blood of their brothers is even now crying from the ground against them. Over two long years of bloody, gory work proves it not the remedy among onlightencd, christianized men. Savages would scarcely be so savage. No good lias coine of it—none will eotne. Lot us take this mat ter in our own hands, and with the still snuill voice of the ballot-box give to our land peace and unitv as our fathers did before us. THY FRIEND. Partlzan Villany Admitted! The Pittsburgh Gazette of the 20th inst., in an elaborate article, fastens on Gov. Curtin's administratiou all the crimes and peculation with which we have charged hi in for two years past.—The Gazette says that lie was found guilty of securing fat contracts for himself through "private agents," li bi/ a committee ap pointed by himself!" This is admission enough to open the eyes of every honest Republican. This expose is made not through the honesty of the Gazette , but because there is a war going on in the abolition wigwam between the pnrti zans of honest Simon Cameron, whoso organ tbe Gazette is and the friends of Gov. Curtin! As Cameron's friends have commenced "telling talcs out of school," we may expect some rich developments from the Curtin side of the house, one party buys the other, and every body knows Cameron is rich! When rogues fall out, honest men will get their dues. How will this development of the Gazette's set upon the stomach of certain very patriotic gentlemen in our midst who have been so fu rious in their defence of the purity of Andy Curtin? Eh?— Washington Review. The Negro Takes the Reins- White Men Proscribed. General Ranks has ordered that none but | colored men shall ho employed as teamsters by the Government in his department. The above is from the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser (Republican.) The phrase, "put none but Americans on guard," is now changed—let none hut, "negroes have the reins." They are to be the drivers. Those who have the misfor tune to he white are thus proscribed by this Administration. Of course the white soldier will vote to continue this party in power! Facts for the People. I hold that this Government was made on the WHITE BASIS, by WHITE MEN, for the benefit of WHITE MEN, and their POSTER ITY forever! —S. A. DOUGLAS. Carry out the Republican programme and you must, admit negroes to political if not social equality. Three and a half millions of free people, no matter what their color cannot be deprived of a sharo in the government. They will pay taxes if they have property, and they will demand representation. You will then have negro Congressmen, Sheriffs, Jurors, Con stables, Judges, etc., etc., "That's what's the matter!"— Washington Review. Don't Deceive Yourselves. With the delusive idea, that people who have wielded arbitrary power, will willingly lay it down. The catch phrase is, "When the war is over, there will be no occasion for the exercise of these unusual means to preserve the peace." It won't do to trust people who find so many pretexts for dispensing with tho laws, and the ordinary channels of public administration. It is by all odds the safest to cling to the old party whoso traditions arc for strict construc tion of grants of power and liberal construction of the reserved rights of the people. A NEW BATCH OF ORL/EKS..—The orders and counter orders concerning tho draft are Hying through thejcountry "thick as leaves in Vallara brosa." A new batch of them will be found in the following circular from the lVovost Marshal General, dated July 21st to the district provost marshals throughout the country. It will be seen that the three hundred dollar commutation releases the conscript from serving during the period;of three years. Just the same as if ho had himself procured the snbtitutc: 1. Provost Marshals of drafted districts will make complete muster rolls of drafted men, to be forwarded with detatchmcnts to proper depot. 2 They will see that the drafted men are pro vided with everything necessary for their entire equipment, that no time may be lost in forwar ding them from the rendezvous io their final destination, and give as many days' notice as possible to the commandant of the rendezvous of the time when the drafted men will be turned over. 3. When drafted men fail to report, the district is not responsible for their desertion any more than for the desertion of members of its quotas in the ticld. The district must therefore be credited for them. 4. The paying of S3OO for "procuration of substitutes," under the law, throws upon the government the responsibility of providing such substitute, aud relieves the district therefrom. It is paid for "procuration of substitute." 5. The district must present men liable to mili tary service, suitable and acceptable— not ex empts. It cannot present for military service to the government men who are exempt therefrom by law. 11 must make up for them. The last clause reads rather foggy, bnt a few explanatory circulars will doubtless make it clear. labor vinCit omnia.—Patriot and Union. FRQM CHARLESTON. ANOTHER TERRIFIC FIGHT. Dispatches from General Beauregard. REBEL REPOUT OF UNION LOSSES. Two Thousand Prisoners and Eight Hundred ' Killed. BALTIMORE, July 21—8 P. M. The Washington correspondent of the Sun dag Telegram says: The last news from Charleston byway of Fortress Monroe, is understood to describe the terrific engagement a week ago between the Morris Istmsl batteries and Fort Sumter and General Gilmore's batteries and the fleet. The rebels are understood to have made a desperate and vigorous sortie, attempting to take General Gilmore's land batteries by storm. They were only partially successful, however, our men being driven from their guns only to recover them by a grand counter movement, in which extraordinary valor .was shown. The fleet is said to have distinguished itself by attacking Fort Sumter at very short range but several of the vessels were more or less injured in the encounter. Sumter is believed to he badly breached but not sufficiently so to expect its surrender. Several explosions are said to have occurred within its walls and those of the other forts, but the results are unknown.
