REGT.-WO had the pleasure of taking our young friend, Mr. Henry Geissinger, of Capt. Wintrode's com pany, by the hand this morning. He brought home the body of Reuben T. rouse, a member of the same company who died of typhoid fever. Mr. Geis singer says that Fosse was in the bat tle at Fair Oaks, and fought like a .hero, but before'the battle was ended he took sick and in four days was a .corpse. Mr. Geissingcr was in the sev en-days' battle, but came out unscath ed. Ile saw some of the members 'of Company Gr, sth Pa. Regiment, since the fight, and communicates to us sad .and mournful intelligence of some of the brave boys from this borough.— We hesitate to write it, but the truth !must be known, and we hope the sad mews will be taken as lightly as possi ble. S. H. Keith is slightly wounded :in the arm; Jacob Hawn is also slight dy wounded; a man by the name of !Green, from Neconnellstown, serious- Ay wounded; Lieut. Charles Hildebrand is among the missing. It is not known lillether he was killed or taken priso- CM Creissinger says that poi. Sim mons; of the sth Pa.

TUE 4Tu.—But very little demon -•}ration was made in this place on the ‘. The only thing like a demon z'on was the Methodist Sabbath .)1 Celebration. A large number our citizens went to various points on Broad Top. John Scott delivered an address at Coalmont. We are in formed that he handled the secession ists and their Northern sympathizers -without mercy. Rev. S. 11. Reid spoke :it Broad Top City. His address was a masterly affair as is everything that cones from that source. There was ;also a celebration at Powoiton, which -.was none of your " one-horse" affairs. TUE repairs are so far advanced that the canal from Hollidaysburg to Wil .liamsburg Dam will be opened for the passage of boats about the 25th of this month (July). From Williamsburg Dam to Huntingdon Dam the water will be drawn off on the first of Au gust, and that part of the canal will probably remain closed during the re- Juainder of the season.

RESOLUTIONS The committee on resolutions hay ing concluded their labors, reported through their Chairman, Hon. Arnold Pluncbr, of Yenango . , the following se ries of resolutions, which were read by one of the secretaries, Col. Jacob Zeig ler. IVnEREAs, The American Constitu tion was ordained and establi4eil by our fathers, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of lib erty to posterity, therefore 1. Resolves, That the only object of the Democratic party is the restora tion of Alie Union as it was, and the preservation of the Constitution as ,is. 2, Resolved, That to the end that.the Union be restored and the Constitution and laws be . enforced throughont its whole extent, we pledge our hearty and unquallified support to the Feder al government in the energetic prose cution of the existing war. Rfwolved. That tho true and only ob- EM jeet-a-the war is, to restore the Union and enforce the laws; such a purpose alone is worthy the awful sacrifice which it costs us of life and treasure; with such a purpose alone can we hope for success, and those who from sec tional feeling, party or private motives would give any other direction to the efforts of our armies are unjust and un worthy to be entrusted with polar, and would cause all our exertions, ex traordinary and unparalleled as they are, to prove futile in the end. Resolved, That we jus.tly view with alarm the reckless extravagance which pervades some of the departments of the Federal Government, and that a return to rigid economy and account ability is indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the public treas ury by favored partizans; and that, in view of the recent startling develop ments of frauds and corruptions at the Federal metropolis and throughout the country, we hold an entire change of administration to be imperatively demanded. Resolved, That the party fanaticism or crime, whichever it may be called, that seeks to turn the slaves of the Southern States loose to overrun the north and enter into competiting with the white laboring masses, thus degra ding and insulting their manhood by placing them on an equality with ne groes in their occupation, is insulting to our race, and merits our most em phatic and unqualified condemnation. Resolved, That we denounce north ern abolitionism and southern secession as the co-operation sources of our pres eat calamities, alike treasonable to the Constitution and inimical to the Union. The only way to a restored Union and a respected Constitution, with return ing peace and prosperity is through the overthrowing of both. Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsylvania is equally opposed to all sectional legislation and geographical parties, which base their hope for con tinued partizan success on the agra grianism of emancipation and hyper critical philanthropy— abolition : be cause neither is known to the Constitu tion, and both are intended to aid in subverting the Constitution and to pre vent the restoration of unity, peace and concord among the States and the people. Resolved, That the Constitution and laws are sufficient for any emergency, and that the suppression of the free dom 'of speech and of the press, and the unlawful arrest of citizens and the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, in violation of the Constitution, in States where the civil authorities are unimpeded, is most dangerous to civil liberty, and should be resisted at the ballot-box by every freeman in the land. Resolved, That this is a government of white men, and was established ex clusively for the white race, and that the negro race are not entitled to, and ought not to be, admitted to political of social•equality with the white race, but that it is our duty to treat them with kindness and consideration as an inferior and dependent race; that the right of the several States to deter mine the position and duties of the race is a sovereign right; and the pledgh6 of the Con.stitution, require its as loyal citizens not to interfere therewith. Resolved, That Congress has in pow er to deprive any person of his prop erty for any criminal offence unless that person has been first duly convic ted of the offence by the verdict of a jury, and that all acts of Congress like those lately passed by the House of Representatives, which assume to forfeit or confiscate the estates of men for offences for which they have not been convicted by due trial by jury aro unconstitutional and lead to op pression and tyranny. It is no justi fication for such acts that the crimes committed in the prosecution of the rebellion are of unexampled atrocity, and there is no such justification as State necessity known to our govern ment or laws. Resolved, That the Constitution, the Union and the Laws must bepreserved and maintained in all their proper and rightful supremacy, and that therebel lion now in arms against them must be suppressed and put down; and that it is our duty to aid in all measures nec essary and proper to that end. Resolved, That the soldiers compo sing our armies merit the warmest thanks of the nation. Their country called, and nobly did they respond; living they shall know a nation's grat itude, wounded a nation's care, and dy ing they shall live in our memories and monuments shall be raised to teach posterity to honor the patriots and he roes who offered their lives at their country's altar. Their widows. and orphans shall be adopted by the na tion, to be watched over and cared for as objects truly worthy a nation's guar dianship. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. The convention then immediately proceeded to nominate candidates for Auditor General and Surveyor General, to be voted for at the next fall elec tion. The first and sixth ballots for a nom inee of the party for the former office resulted as follows: let BALLOT. Gth BALLOT. Richardson L. Wright, Phila. 39 39 William P.

BALTIMORE, July 3.—The army cor respondence of the Associated Press has just arrived here, direct from Gen. Ale headqu.urters. The follow ing is a brief statement of the present condition of affairs : After seven days incessant fighting, during which Gen. McClellan's army was compelled to fall back before vast ly superior numbers, he reached a point on the James river adjoining Turkey Island. Here he is in a safe position, with the support of the gunboats. His army is posted on high ground, out of the swamps, with abundance of' good Water, and where he can, and now is, being reinforced. The battle, or rather series of bat tles, has been one of the most destruc tive of human life that the world has seen, and has resulted in the killing and wounding of not less, it is thought, than forty-five thousand men on both sides. The .enemy's los.s,bas unques tionably been enormous, far greater than ours, which in killed and wound ed will not exceed fifteen thousand. We have lost many prisoners, but not more than five thousand. All the bridges were blown up by Gen. McClellan as he retreated, and all the property, stores, &e., that he could not save were destroyed. The enemy got very little besides a portion of our siege guns and about forty pieces of light artillery. We captured a number of the ene my's artillery, and also took many pris oners, but were compelled to release most of them rather than be encum bered with them. The Richmond Dispatch, of Monday, announces the death of Stonewall Jackson and Gen. Barnwell Bhett, of South Carolina. WASHINGTON, Tuly 3.—There is no doubt that the losses in the battles before Richmond are greatly exagger ated, as there is no means of ascertain , ing the figures at this time. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, TURKEY ISLAND, July 2, 1862. The following is an account of the battles fought in front of Richmond on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the en gagement: ' On Sunday morning the corps of Sumner• and Franklin were left in the works at Fair Oaks, with instructions to evacuate and protect the baggage and supply trains on their way to Samos river. They had hardly left their position, and were falling back on the railroad and \Villiamsburg turn pike, when the, enemy discovered the mtivyment and iffimediately started in pursuit with their 4,,,Affile force. So rapidly did they approach that our officers had barely time to place their men in position to receive them, before they yere upon them. The enemy adranced to an attack about two o'clock, which was prompt ly met by our men. The battle lasted until dark, clueing which the enemy sulTered terribly. They advanced in a solid mass to within a short distance of our artillery, and the effect of our guns on their ranks was fearffil. They were killed and wounded by hundreds. At dark the enemy were, repulsed, and forced to abandon their position. This battle took place about one and a half miles above Savage Station. While the battle was in progress other important events were transpi ring. The railroad bridge over the Chickahominy was burned, and a train of twelve cars, under a full head of steam, was run overboard. All the commissary and quartermaster stores were committed to the flames, togeth er with a large amount of ordnance stores. The large house at the station, and the adjoining grounds, which were filled with our sick and wounded, whom it was impossible to remove., were left under the charge of our sur geons, with all tbe, necessaries at hand for their comfort. They number about seven hundred, 4 , ?(,1 are now in the enemy's hands. The troops which had fought the battle of Sunday retreated, under the cover of night, to White Oak Swamp Bridge, a distance of about twelve miles, there to await the approach of the enemy. The disi)osition of the troops on Monday, the sixth day, was as follows : Gen. Smith's division, supported by Gen. Negley's brigade, occupied the right of the bridge, while Stunner and Franklin's corps were on the left. lleintzelman's corps,with Gen.McCall's division, was posted. out on - the New Market road to meet the enemy, who was approaching from the direction of Richmond. The enemy came up bold ly early in the forenoon, havini , been heavily reinforced by troops that had fought the battle of Friday on the op posite side of the Chickabotniny. At about 2 o'clock it became evident that some portions of our lines must give way, as the enemy were evident ly throwing fresh troops into action. Our troops in front of the bridge now tell back to within three and a half miles of Turkey Island bridge, where the fight was shortly after renewed, and continued with the greatest deter mination on both sides. The loss on Monday was very heavy on both sides. During the day all the cattle and a greater part of the trans portation had safely crossed Turkey Island bridge. Some of the rear wag ons were abandoned and fired on this day in order to make room for the ar tillery. The BeAtle on Tpesday. The fight was renewed` early on Tuesday morning by the enedly; who evidently expected to crush our army. It lasted about three hours, resulting in considerable loss to both paitieS. The enemy then' retired, leaving the field to cull.. troops: They again ad vanced about 8 to'clock P. M., in con siderable force, bit 'retired after being shelled by the gunboats and artillery for about two hours, without coming near enough for the use al' .musketry The- loss of our army during_ these seven days' engagements is not known, but twenty thousand is considered as near an estimate as can, at-present, be given 'in killed , wounded, and missing. Many of those, at present unaccounted for may have straggled away through the country, and may hereafter re, turn. The loss of the enemy in killed must have been very heavy, far exceeding that of our army. We have talion about seven hundred prisoners, among whom are three ; lieu tenant ,colonels and one mato' r. The 'reported capture of Gen. Ma gruder is probably a mistake. The loss in field artillery during the seven days amounted to about thirty guns. General Reynolds and Capt. Kings bury of his staff were taken prisoners, as was also Col. Stockton of Michigan. General Mead, of Pennsylvania, was severely wounded. General Burns was wounded in the face. Generals Sumner and Heintuel man were both slightly wounded in the left arm, but they did not leave the field. General McCall was seen to fill from his horse during the battle of:Monday. He was taken prisoner. The extent of his injuries is not known. Col. Gosline, of the 95th Pennsylva nia Regiment, was killed; also, Capt. Camblos, of the sth (regular) Cavalry. Captain Whiting, of the Fifth caval ry, was wounded and taken prisoner, and his son, a lieutenant in the same re ,, iment lost his left arm. Col. Pratt, of the 31st New York Regiment, was wounded in the face. The army is now encamped on high, rolling ground on the banks of the James river,ls miles from Richmond. The transports are already unloading supplies at the wharves. Opinion of General McClellan The Commanding General feels con fident of successfully meeting any at tack that the enemy may make on his present position. The moving of the army over to James river was not a part of the general plan, as has been stated. The attack of Jackson's for ces on the right, last Thursday and Friday, made this movement a neces sity, in order to save the army from total annihilation, as the reinforce ments received by the rebels gave them a force double that of the Army of the Potomac. Among the prisoners taken during the battle were a number belonging to Beauregard's army. MARRIED, On Sunday, the 22d of June, by Rev. - Brads, Mr. THEODORE L. FLOOD to Miss ANNIE BLACK, both of this place. So we go I First one—then anoth er—drifting slowly and surely, day by clay, into the maelstrom of matrimony. In their happiness and joy of newly wedded life they paused for a moment to think of the printer,and the poor disci ple of Faust was remembered in the shape ofa cake about the size of a bread basket, for which we hereby tender our heartiest congratulations to the happy couple, hoping they may enjoy an end less career of prosperity and sunshine. And furthermore, when the rose-tinted dream begins to pale before the accu mulation of the musty cobwebs of Time, may their love for each other undergo no change but only grow the deeper and stronger.
