[For the 61,1132.1 DEAR SIR :—A. meeting was held on Saturday, August 17th, at McAlevy's Fort, for the purpose of filling up the ranks of the "Jackson Gatti:de. ' It was well attended and resulted benefi cially for the company. Dr. M. Miller, by invitation, presided. Speeches were made by Messrs. Campbell, Speer and Colon. Of the first two gentlemen I have to say that they acquitted themselves very well— each one possessing a cultivated mind and agracefal delivery—indispensable qualifications necessary for orators; 1 , but, we humbly conceive, they marred the melody of their periods, by ill-timed allusions to a publication called the Dag Book. We heard more concern ing that sheet than I think its merits or it has any) demand. It has but few readers in this 'region. Some ate prompted by a spirit of curiosity ; while others, if Northern men. are those whose theatre of observation does not extend beyond the mountains that bound the valley. Mr. Colon won for himself golden opinions; we trust he is wholly recovered from the slight ind;sposition under which be labored. On Sabbath, Rev. A dair•preached, by invitation, to the - Volunteers, from the words To-day if ye will hear his voice, &c." The discourse was de lived in the Church Yard, the audience being very large and the scene impres sive. Around the speaker were grouped the young men who were to leave on the in irrow—some perhaps forever— their native homes. Mire in the peace ful v i de, thought we. they might have lived and died ; and "Thet map airkiraum.tn nee: of glorious war That make ninb.twn never have fired their imaginations.— But hark I our country calls her sons "to arms.' and forthwith from their secluded homes they come, tilled with all the ardor of patriotism and youth, Among them are the ihmiliar faces of a Cumminsand at Huston whose names, in the tenderness of friendship, we can not forbear to mention. There was the aged father with calm resignation on his brow; and here the devoted mother or. sister whose after. lion is not to be controlled. The som bre heavens lent a deepening gloom to the cooling shades which was in sol emn harmony with all around, when they sang the beautiful stanza, begin ning:- - A thousand at thy ride shall f.. 11," we could not but remember that mightier siiirits, too, have derived strength and consolation from those Hebrew melodies. a• The soul of the Reformer has vi brated under them to its depths ; and the lone hand of Luther holding his banner before the eyes of Europe. has trembled less than if it was stretched out to the tune of - David's heroic psalms." The Reverend speaker addressed the company- at some length in an earn est and eloquent manner; pointing out the necessary preparatiese for the mis sion ; and of the importance of being a Christian soldier. The discussion of the mission was well taken ; herein be showed the vast • importance of the principle at stake. But we must for bear,—understanding that the sermon is to be published, simply adding. how - ever, that if there were any present that day who still ask, " What are we fighting for .2" we earnestly entreat them to borrow a dictionary and pro cure a copy of the sermon. Monday came and with it the sepa ration of friends; as we have no nation for a feast on tears, we may be spared a recital. The company is commanded at present by Messrs. Miles, Snay and Barr. The first named —to us—is compura' ively unknown; but we were favorably- impress,d with his manners as a gentleman. Lients. Snay and Barr are well known ; of them nitwit is expected. - Upwards of one hundred dollars were raised by collection, in order to defray the incidental expenses of the company. W. A. Oaks, Esq., and Dr. M. Miller deserve to be .winorably men tioned lbr their exertions to render comfortable the Volunteers. In behalf of Barree and Jackson townships, we return thanks to the citizens of your town for their kind avtaTtion and repast: and remember ing the past patriotism of her people— Hie thousands of soldiers they have cheered and refreshed—we say in all sincerity, that they merit the lasting gratitude of the Americah people. - J. B. M. AMY The Pittsburg Catholic of Aug /oth has the following patriotic views "No one at the ;forth doubts. or has ever doubted, the ability of the Government to put down the present rebellion. The solution of our present difficulties is a matter of mere figures. The South has, comparatively speak ing, neither men, money nor credit, three things with which protracted war is impossible. We have all these in abundance. - nun Rllll has proved that Southern gentlemen,' however accomplished, cannot cope with vulgar Northern muscle. All the available forces of' the South, worth speaking about, are now assembled and near 'Manassas. Our venerable Uncle but moved a finger, apd those forces es caped a crushing defeat, only by the merest chances of war. When he shall have put forth both arms he will make short work of the Southern army, and Of al the allies that may come to its aid from over the water; . "But let us not be too confident. There is one thing, and one thing only, that can blast our hopes and lay us prostrate before the foulest rebellion that has ever darkened a pat ion'a his tory. That thing is .di-curd among ourselves. Let the harmony inspired by our eommom danger be broken ; let the spirit of party be again revived; let party (lies again be heard, and our very strength will become our weak ness; we will fight the battlQ of the South, fight it at our own cost, and most successfully." The Late Mob at Easton. From the Euston thin me or Aug• 2,%) We are called upon, to-day, to re• cord one of the most violent outbreaks that have ever occurred in our usually quiet borough. As is generally known, the Democrats ofNorthampton county held their regular county meeting yes terday afternoon. In ordinary times, these gatherings pass off with little or no excitement, but yesterday a num ber of hot debates occurred between members of the different political par ties. one or two fights occurred, engen dering much bad blood, and the whole thing ripened by night into one of the most terrible afihirs that we have ever been witness to. At an early hour in the evening, a party of men, many of them returned volunteers, proceeded to the residence, in Centre Square, of Hon. Philip Johnson, member of Con gress from this District, and elevating an cffgy of Mr. Johnson, they set fire to and burned it, in the presence of Mr. Johnson, who sat upon his front step with one pr two friends. After the burning of ,the effigy the .crowd made a rush in the direction of Mr. J., who fled into the louse on their ap proach, and escaped. They then call ed upon him to show his colors, when he appeared at a window with a small flag in his hand and spoke a few woids, assuring them of his devotion to the Union, and stating that if they would come to him in their cal mar moments, he would eonvillee them of his loyalty to the GOvernment. For a time, it was feared that violence would be done him so terribly exasperated were the crowd in front ofhisdwelling. but they became somewhat appeased by his re marks, stud finally moved off 110 n the house, The cry then arose : "To the &Wind!" when the crowd, with a tremendous shout, turned their steps towards that establishment, and enter ing, gutted it completely. Type, eases, desks, stands, stoves, this week's edi tion or the paper, (printed on one side.) cards, booksand everything that could be moved, was thrown into the street. The office in a lbw minutes, was a com plete wreck, the material lying in one confused heap in the street. From the Sentinel office the crowd made their way to the Argus establish ment. This office is on the second floor, and the heavy street door lead ing to it having been well barred, in expectation of an attack. the destroy-. lug party were obliged to climb over an awning to gain entrance to the of fice. They destroyed but little prop erty at this aka. having been induced by their friends to forego, for the pm:s eta, their purpose, .No less than two thousand persons bad gmborall at this point. After abandoning their design to gut the Argos the crowd proceeded to the oflice of the Correspondent and Democrat. Here they broke in the door, and were about o°nm:cluing tl c uoik of destruction, v. hen some one sugges ted that the proprietor be given tilt the next night to publish a card contain ing his sentiments. This arrangement was agreeable to all parties and the crowd moved on again, bound, this time, for the resi dence of Ilon. - Richard Brodhead, where they found the stars and stripes floating over the door, which satisfied them. Mr. Wm. 11. Thompson made a feW remarks from the steps in front j 'of Mr. Brodhead's dwelling. He said I "lie stood there as the apologist of no ' man. If M.r. B. was offensive to them, there were other ways of exhibiting', their displeasure, and he hoped they would molest nor disturb no one." . Next, the residence of Col. _nutter, on Second street. was visited. A flag hung above the door. There were none but ladies in the house, and the crowd soon left, proceeding to the residence of W. W. Schuyler, Esq„ District At torney, whom they compelled to come out and express hjs sentiments on tle present crisis." Mr. S. made a few Union remarks. Ile closed by thank ing the gentlemen for giving him an opportunity to express his sentiments beibre so large and respectable a crowd," Isbon Benedict was visited next. It was about 11. o'clock, and he huff re tired with his family, but a f e w loud raps at the front door brought him to one of the windows of his dwelling on Spring Garden street. The crowd de manded to know his sentiments. lie said : "he was for the Union. He had fought through the Mexican war for the Stars and Stripes. and had always been a Union man." The crowd re tired.
