This issue begins a new volume of the Ga zette, the seventh of the series since our con nexion with the office. We tender our thanks to our patrons for their fiist friendship during the past six years and hopo to retain their good wishes and active support for the future. We would also tako this opportunity to call upon our friends to come forward and settle. We need money and those who owe us for six, four and two years, will be expected to square their affcounts, at or before the coming September Court. The Union Convention. The Cause of its Adjournment. We judge from the tone of the last Inquirer that tho party leaders of that great and won derful Union party have given up the chase for Union or IFr Democrats to run as independ ents. They couldn't be had notwithstanding the labored efforts of some gentlemen to produce the impression that the Democratic ticket was eomposed of all Brcckenridge Democrats—Cop perhends—men who have sons in tho Southern Confederacy, &c. But hear the cause of the adjournment as given in the last issue: "The common dictates of patriotism which claims of every good citizen the first services for the defence of his country actuated the Conven tion to adjourn until the State and Nation would thrust the Southern hordes from our soil," &c. Well did he say that "the State and Nation," lor the editor and his convention belonged to neither, so far as the "defeuce" went. Pleaae tell us what member of that Convention went to driving the "Southern hordes;" what blood and thundei patriot in town, that is so full of patriotism, and talks war so much in town or country, drove the "Southern horde 3?" Who attended the war mooting at tho Court House to take action about driving tho "hordes?" We will answer: two Democrats and one old line Whig. Not a Republican cr Abolition!' t show ed himself. Some fears were entertained by our loud-mouthed, spouting patriots, that the thing Was in earnest, and that they might be asaed to put their names on a paper to go, and they had no disposition to meet the Johnny Rebs just at that time. Try it again with your Wheelbar row—you turned too many corners that time. Tell us honestly whether tho Convention ad journed because the bait had not been well set yet at that time for Democrats—whether it was too badly seared at tho prospects before the party or whether the members were scared at the approach of Imbodeu. "Copperheads! Copperheads!" This is the war cry of the Abolition scribbler who pays S2OO per annum for the privilege ol making all the money he can out of such mis representation, vilification and abuse of the Dem ocratic party as his addled head is capable ol inventing. No proprietor of a newspaper who has any desire to keep up the respectability of his journal, would venture to fill his columns with all kinds of groundless charges against, and every species of the lowest and foulest blackguardism of, his political or even his per sonal foes. Such a course would be avoided by a publisher, for the simple, but forcible reason that it would do him more harm than good.— But Durborrow does not own the Inquirer es tablishment—he but rents it for so much per annum, and, therefore, has no care how much he damages his landlord, only so he makes the olfiee pay whilst it is in his hands. Hence it is that he recklessly inserts in the Inquirer, such glaring falsehoods as those he published last year about Andy Crisman, and now promulgates a gainst every candidate on the Democratic ticket. Ilencc it is that he styles the nominees of the Democracy "Copperheads" and "Traitors" and calls them nick-names and says that they are as bad as Jeff Davis himself. What does he care whether he tells the truth or not, if he can cre ate a sensation that will bring him one or two subscribers. Leading "Republicans" may ex postulate with him j personal friends may ad vise him to be less mendacious and vituperative; the proprietor of the Inquirer may recommend to him a different course ; but to all these he turns a deaf ear, for he must make as much money as possible out of the machine whilst he is permitted to run it, and he knows that he will soon be supplanted by another engineer. So, instead of trying to make a decent paper and trusting to the appreciation of the intelli gent and the good, he makes the Inquirer a re ceptacle for any thing and all things that please the fancy of the degraded and delight the hearts of the malignant. By so doing he fishes up an occasional postage stamp which otherwise might go to the publishers of the N. Y. Police Gazette or the Fishenvcnnan's Advocate. Now, so far as we are concerned, we say to this sensation-hunt ing editor, Go on: denounce and slander us as much as you please. We know that your bread and butter depend on your doing so. Let your slogan, therefore, be "Copperhead! Copper bend!" and let your editorials lie exclusively on "Copperheads;" and let your selections be about nothing but "Copperheads;" nay, write and print on the subject of "Copperheads" until ev ery snake your readers get into their boots, shall be a "Copperhead." If your landlord and your party can survive your "Copperhead" campaign, we think we will be able to outlive it also. More About Snakes. The editor of the Abolition 1/ujuirer sees snakes. He has negrophobia, and that singular disease, like mania a potu, causes its victims to see serpents. The Inquirer man, being an amal gamationist, sees no snakes except such as are of a cojiper color. So, when he lonfc .r or ms ncignoors, he minks them, in his mad ness, Copperhead serpents. Last week, whilst in an unusually violent spasai, lie imagined the whole Democratic ticket to be composed of "Copperheads." As an instance of the inco herency of his thoughts, he stated that Major Davis has two sons in tho South, and, therefore, be must be a "Copperhead," but Abe Lincoln, whose brother-in-law was with the Rebel army atChambersburg, robbing tho cellars and spring houses, is 110 "Copperhead" at all. The Original "Copperheads." The Inquirer says that we aro a "Copper head," that is, we criticise the official acts of the servants of the people at Washington. Now, the editor of the Inquirer and every other "Re publican" editor "opposed the constituted au thorities" when Franklin Pierce and James Bu clianan stood at the helm of State. Therefore, by their own showing tney are the original "Copperheads." "Every paper he has issued for the last two years has been in opposition to the only consti tuted authorities in the land." We copy the above from last week's Inquirer. The paragraph relates to the editor of this pa per. See how plain a tale will put this Aboli tion calumniator down. We have opposed the polinj of adopting certain measures which the Administration at Washington saw fit to adopt and we have been and are still laboring to bring about a relinquishment of those measures and a return on the part of Congress and the Execu tive, to what we believe to have been wiser and better counsels. This is, in a nutshell, our whole course sinco the beginning of the present war. No man can prove that we have dono any thing more than this. When laws were passed of which we did not approve, we frankly, and, perhaps, strongly expressed our disapproval! but we never resisted any of them, nor counsel ed others to resist them. Have we then oppo sed the "Constituted authorities?" Not at all. We have only done what every "Republican ' paper did during the Administrations of Presi dents Pierce and Buchanan—we have opposed some of the measures of the Federal Adminis tration. Does not the same liberty exist in this country now as then? Does the editor of the Inquirer u'lmit that civil freedom was better pro tected under Pierce and Buchanan thnn it is under Lincoln? &"We invite the attention of our readers to tho advertisement of the Cornelius Devorc real estate. This property is for sale. From our knowledge of it, having been there heretofore, we can say it is one of the most desirable prop erties in tlie State, and affords a good opportu nity for profitable investment. Distinguished Visitors. Ex-President Buchanan, Joseph 1?. Biker & lady, Dr. Carpenter, of Lancaster, H. M.Xorth, Esq., of Columbia, l)r. Kurtz, of Ball more, Gov. Bradford, of Maryland, Mr. Grainbar, of Washington, Gen. Bowman, Judge Fisher, of York, and other gentlemen of note :ge now sojourning in our midst oiul at the Springs. Mr. Buchanan luoks the embodiment a health and vigor, notwithstanding his advanced age. Amidst the shoals and quicksands, thobillows and storms of our revolution, ho standsout firm as the rock, looking out over tho waves of the conflict, peerless and above them all, jointing the tempest-tossed mariners to the old Cnion as it was and the old Constitution as if stands. True to those as the beacon-lights of oi- safety, no time-serving or truckling policy is subscribed to by him. The compeer of Jackson, Clay and Webster has lived to realize what hatnd those great men told us years ago, Abolitiorism was bringing upon us. Had his term beesi six in stead of four years, we would have a peaceful and happy Union yet. His great poiiqy and tlie great policy of all true Democrats—equal rights —must be recognized and established as a con dition precedent to the rc-constrnetiiin of this Government. May it soon be done. "The Goose Question.' If Judge Goose, of the Inquirer, will just suggest to mother Milburn and the other own ers of geese in town, the prescribed limits for their geese, and then call the town Council to gether and have them pass an ordinance to that effect, the annoyance will no longer afflict our sensitive editor. If this don't do, try the "/>- pus corpus." We would like to have the "goo.:e question" settled for once, and the constitution ality of the suspension of that writ tested in the goose court. The judge above named, supplied with a robe and a little cap, and with the learn ing that enables him to dispute with Blackstone the coirectncss of his definitions, can no doubt do both questions justice, and have them both set tled forever. Who Wields its Sceptre, Universal Empire has boen the darling object of scores of despots, dynasties, and states from the time of the Pharaohs to that of Napoleon le Grand. Seas of blood have been shed to attain it, and the bones of the myriads who bare been slaughtered in the pursuit of this chimera would, if they could be collected in one mass, overtop the highest peak of the Himalayan mountains. Rome came nearest the comsummation, yet, c ven she was never, in truth, the absolute "Mis tress of the World." Yet there is a species of universal empire which has been attained. It is an empire not over the souls and bodies of mankind, but over their diseases. The conqueror who has a chievcd this grand result is Doctor HOI.LOWAY, of London; at least, we are taught to beliove that he has done so, bp vouchers from all parts of the Christian and heathen world which seem to be irrefutable and which, in fact, so lar as we know, have never been challenged., His Pills and Ointment arc "universal remeifibs" in a double sense. They are disseminated through out the habitable globe, and they are (so "crowds of witnesses" assure +fc- "1/^cssn/L In this *wumry, tt is quite certain that the Pills are used with most beneficial effect in dis orders of the stomnch, liver, and bowels, and that scrofula and all the family of eruptive dis eases and discharging sores givo way to the healing operation of the Ointment. Surely, the noblest of all universal empire is that which stretches its healing sceptre over the maladies of all nations'— "Dai/ Hook." Enormous Frauds Upon the Government. Millions of Dollars Taken.—Prominent Shoddy Politicians under Arrest. HARRISBUKD, July 30. Considerable excitement has been created here by the discovery of enormous frauds upon the government during the recent army move ments in this region consequent upon the rebel raid. The amounts are stated at millions of dollars. A number of prominent state politi cians have been placed under arrest, and the subject will receive the most searching investi gation by the War Department. The most corrupt practices have prevailed in horse con tract, and in clothing and subsistence supplies. They throw the "shoddy" operators at Ilarris burg, in the summer of 1861, entirely in the shade. Many of the same parties are implica ted, and the gangs who have infested the state capital in the winter have reaped u rich sum mer harvsst. It is a sad commentary that, while thousands of brave men rushed to arms to defend the state from invasion, and while the governor was tick ling them with honeyed words, his minions and followers were permitted, like harpies, to de prive them of food, and to compel them to make long and weary marches, without even the poor luxury of crackers and pork. It is a matter of record that, while these contractors were receiving enormous sums, the gallant Philadelphia soldiers were placed on an allow ance of a cracker a day for several days togeth er, thank to the neglect and corruption of the Exc- cutivc department of the State of Penn sylvania.—Philadelphia Inquirer. From the Army of the Potomac. (CROSSING OP TIU: RAPPAHANNOCK —T.F.E'S ARMY MASSED NEAR CULPEPPER—A RBCONNOISANOE , AND A FIGHT. Headquarters Army of the Potomac, ) August 2, 18G3. J j Gen. Bonuford's cavaliy, artillery, nnd a sup porting infantry force, crossed the Rappahan nock at the Bail road station, yesterday, and thence with his cavalry and artillery he proceed ed towards Culpepper, driving Stuart's cavalry before him. When near Culpepper, General lleauford encountered a large rebel force of in fantry and artillery, and a tierce fight ensued, lasting until dark, when lie withdrew to a strong position east of Brandy Station. The loss on both sides was considerable. This rcconnoisanco confirms the reoorted con centration of I.ee's forces near Culpepper, and indicates that his present headquarters are at Stcvcnsburg, four miles southeast of Culpepper. The 29 sutlers' wagons captured near Fair fax on Thursday night by Moseby and his band, were re-captured, with all their contents, ou Friday morning, near Aldic, by the 2d Massa chusetts cavalry. A skirmish ensued between the guerillas and our advance guard, but on the approach of the main body, Moseby fieri, close ly followed by the cavalry. Several of the en emy are reported killed and wounded, but no report has been received of the result of the pursuit. This morning a detachment of our cavalry killed two and captured two others of Moscpy's band, near New Baltimore, and were engaged in ferreting out others. The weather yesterday and to-day has been by far the hottest of the season. All is quiet to-day. Revocation of the Order for 100,000 Six Months' Troops—The Exigency Past. WASHINGTON, August 3, 1863. —The follow ing order was issued to-day from the Adjutant General's office: "The exigencies under which one hundred thousand militia for the six months service, from the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, were called out by the President's proclamations of June 15, 1863, having passed, it is hereby ordered by the President that, on and after the promulgation of this order, no more enlistments under tho said call shall be made.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3. —The steamer Fulton, from Port Royal, with dates to the 31st nit., arrived during the night. Her officers report the siege of Fort Wanner still progressing. Gen. Gilmore has mounted a number of 200 poun der siege guns within one mile of Fort Sumter. He is confident of reducing both Sumter and Fort Wngncr in a short time. The New South says: Just as we go to press it is reported that Gen. Rosacrans is within thirty miles of Savannah. The Attack on Charleston. Latest Accounts of the Rebel Press. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 3.—The Richmond Whig of Aug. Ist has been received here. It contains the following dispatches: CHARLESTON, July 31. —Cutnming's Point was severely bombarded yesterday morning, commencing at about 10 o'clock. The Iron sides and two monitors were engaged. The bombardment lasted until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the vessels withdrew. The batteries Gregg, Nimpkins, Wagner and Sumter responded to the enemy's fire. Three men were killed and one wounded at Battery Gregg. The battery is not materially injured. There was no firing on James Island to-day, and very little from Fort Wagner. Gen. Beauregard visited the James Island works to day. [SECOND DISPATCH.] CHARLESTON, July 31.—A heavy bombard ment was commenced at daybreak upon the en emy's works from Sumter and Wagner, contin uing until 2 o'clock, when it ceased.

CINCINNATI, July 31.-Advices from Vicksburg, of the 20th inst., say that General Herron's division of rebel troops has gone to Mobile. Our array has fallen back to the Big Black riv er. The town of Jackson was entirely destroy ed. Johnston is believed to be retreating to Mobile, which place the enemy arc making desper ate clforts to defend. The 52<1 Massachusetts Regiment, numbering seven hundred and eighty, arrived at Cairo yesterday from l'ort Hudson, bound for borne, to be mustered out of service. Their time expired July lltli. It is reported from Memphis that Johnston's rebel army is on the Pearl river, a few miles west of Meridian where fortifications are being erected. Johnston will make the Mobile and Oil ioßailroad, from Okalona on the north to Mobile on the south., his lino of defence. lie is said to have received large reinforcements from Bragg, and that Mississippi has been vir tually abandoned by tho rebels. A strong peace party exists in that State favorable to a return to the Union upon a guarantee of the rights of the people under the Constitution, of person, property, consciences. Some say they would devote halt of their incomes to liquidate the public debt if the difficulties could be ad justed. General George, the commander of the Mis sissippi State Militia, Chambers, and other reb el officers, i are moving their commands from the nothern and central portions of the State towards the South. The removal of the slaves from Msssissippi to Alabama nnd Georgia is carried on to such an extent that Gonernors of theso States issued aroelamations forbidding their further intro duction. General Johnston's pickets are said to li ave turned a large numper back. The Steamer Empire Parrish, from Port Hud son on the 14th, and Vicksburg on the 28th, arrived to-day with about 700 of thc'22d Maine Regiment, en route for the East.

General Grant has effected a thorough sys tem of mounted patrols between Vicksburg and New Orleans, who, with the gunboats afiord ample protection to the vessels. Every thing was quiet, and there were no sign of rebels on cither shore. Gen. Grant h:ul ordered alt soldiers in the hos pitals here, able to bear the journey, to be sent home on thirty days' furlough, and all those permanently disabled to be immediately dis charged or recommended for membership in the Invalid Corps.

Franklin had arrived at New Orleans, to take command ofGen. Bonks' army (The accounts we have from New Orleans to the 24th, render these reports improbable.) News from Rebel Papers. Funeral of Wm. L.
