New Volume.
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.

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

indicates that his present headquarters are at
Stcvcnsburg, four miles southeast of Culpepper.
The 29 sutlers' wagons captured near Fair

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
