Tbo din of war has almost if not quite ended, and . our heroes, made don. bly glad by the contemplation of their triumphant achievements, are await ing tilS conclusion of the preparations nocessgry to their disbandment. Ere another month elapses, the greater por. ‘tion of oar. large army will have re. •ceived their.discharges and be dwell ing beneath the roofs of their former itomee, now made more pleasant and inviting by the long separation. The .change can scarcely be realized, and we must linger upon the recollections of our recent eventful history and wonderingly inquire Where are the marshalled battalions of the enemy so bold to resist us? Ah f we know full well. Their day of annihilation has come - 40 gone. . No longer do we find the frantic host ready to draw the life blood of our Nation's defenders, but the rebel rank and file have been scat tered, and with their confederacy dead many of them have buried their ani mosities, and aro ready to come under the Union fold as law•abiding citizens. ' For our braves who have toiled and fought till the advent of this auspicious hour; what a swell ofthanks and grate fulnesS.niiist be raised. Having risked their lilies in many a battle, they now see their efforts crowned with all tri umphant success, and are saved to "enjoy the ponce their valor won." Let the homes from which they have been separated be prepared to receive the warrior so anxiously awaited, and let those who loie the soldier keep him in remembrance at the day when his services Will be openly rewarded. But there are many of the heroes who left our midst who will never re turn. For them the tear has already been shed, the weeds of mourning put on, but the popular token of gratitude is yet required. While their tames will be honored, a public testimonial should be erected, which when looked . upon will recur the mind of the patriot mere frequently to their manly. and patriotic deeds. Th.y.poor families of the soldiers who have died, more espe cially, should be provided for, the wid ow comforted, and orphan educated. Then will we . be doing a useful: service in memory'-of the departed braves, and one. which is prompted by love, duty and gratitude. Tho soldiers who are. returning, having been accustomed to the stirring ; and exciting events Of camp'and battle, will, perhaps, find it difficult to love home on account of its monotony, and may indulge in those spertive habits that only force excitement: To obvi ate this the soldier must 'accept em ployment:. This we believe the true eoldier- will do. He will thus merit the•iitle of a good citizen. HO'Nzsr.—The "Democracy" of Alle gheny county met in county convention on the 17th, - in Pittsburg, and after organization, the following remarks were made and resolution offered: B. H. Kerr, Esq, stated that he had the _melancholy duty to perform of 'announcing; the death of Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United. States. None sympathized more than the- Democratic party in this great loss to the country. Ho was not only the President of those who elected, hhn, but our President. Ho was strick en down by the hand elan assassin -murdered. With the- permission of the- Convention he would, offer the following resolution, upon the adop- tion of which he hoped all the members of the Convention would rise to their feet. The feeolation was as follows: Besoked. That as men prodd of our country,-iti institutions, and our pub we deeply deplore the .ead fate of the late President. He enter tint Chnionl as a conqueror; but he launched no decree of proscription against theiSoritty for the fight ap peared to him to be over, and it we, not in his heart to bear malice against a, fallen foe; and that' same mght, that he pleaded for mercy and for peace, with malice toward none and with charity for all,, a godless vliretcfi killed him. We honor him dead; who saved the nation. while liv• lag. Ho is embalmed in the tears of alree people. The resolution was, adopted by a mnanimbus vote. .

This order acknowledges . 430 the war is practi cally ended ; and those who do- hereaf ter resist U. S.- authority are citizens who have banded together for -the purpose of plunder and destruction. All found engaged in endeavoring to protraCt the war should be hung with out trial orjuiy, because it is a civil as well as military crime. . "Jim DAVIS should be hanged," is the expressed 'sentiment of the loyal journals and the loyal masses. Smite even think banging too good; but the ackpowledged disgrace of this :node of ending criminals is more 'poignant to those who may desire - to follow in'his train than any novel torture. As a cotemporary remarkS: "Jeff. Davis is already as good as dead." -We shall await tho opinion of the tribunal that will bo inimediately inaugurated • for -his trial: 0 GEN. SHERMAN has been accused of discourteous 'conduCt to Gen. 'fetlock at - Richmond. The tattier had secured . rosidonee for Geo. Shernian's use in Richmond, : bat Sherman refused to ac cept the proffered courtesy, and added that he could not recognize Gon. 'fet lock. 'Sherman would not permit his troops to pass in review before Hal lock. This unploasantry is said to have been occasioned by the orders which Halle& was obl;ged to promul gate, when Sherman "gave in" to the rebel Johnston. . Tun beaten rebels, it is said, are go ing to Mexico. This is tho best place for them. If they are ashamed'of the land for which they .so obstinately fought, they can leave it, and others not treasonable will occupy and fruc tify it. As the tido of emigration is now tending southward wo may soon expect to see this land of desolation a land of promise.

Let the traitors all be gathered in, and receive the full punishment that their crimes demand. The rebel hordes and dupes having received part punishment in the dis- grace of defeat, the ringleaders of the rebellion must now receive their meri ted final doom. If we were magnani mous enough to allow the rebels to go quietly home, we must be severe enough to inflict the punishment of treason upon the leaders. We will thereby make our Government feared as well as.respected. 1r the cause of the would-be Confed eracy has been found to be bootless, that of Jeff. Davis in escaping vigilance was not quite so much so. The beauty of the whole affair rested in the petti coats and boot—y. The Grand Review.

The great success of the 7.30 Loan must always . bi 'looked upon as oue of the most powerful * evidences of the strength ;of the United States Govern nietit, and of its strong hold upon the confidence and affections of the people. On Saturday, May 13th, the subscrip tions were over thirty million dollars, and for the week ending on that day, over ninety: eight million dollars, and in: the three months that the Loan has been in charge of Mr. Jay Cooke, over five hundi•ed million dollars. These largo receipts wiil enable the Treasu ry to pay off our armies as they are disbanded, and . to rapidly ; discharge the various obligations that have been incurred during the war. lliStory will show that a great war-debt to indiyiddals haa'neyer.before , been so promptly paiti; - 'arid we think all ivill agree , :that Secretary -McCullOch; do. serves great credit foi. the ability he, has manifesionot only inf. Securing the meann,-blitlor the financial skill he' has displayed in so directing these vast receipts and disbursements as not for a moment to disturb the egad ibriuna of corameree, embarrass indi viduals, or in any way tighten the money market. It is' doubtless true that the Secretary of the Treasury night have negotiated the remander of his loans at six per cent. interest instead of 7-30, but so much valnable time would necessarily have been lost in popularizing a new loan that the great object of the Government, viz., an immediate supply of money Bain- - cient to pay all the debts incident to the war, would have _been defeated; and besides, the difference of interest would not have been equal to three days expenses. The policy may have looked "penny,wise," but the best fl• nancial authorities, as • well as corn men sense, pronounced it "pound fool . . ish." Asit is—and will be, no soldier will go home without his greenbacks, and the floating debt in the shape of ,vouchers, requisitions, &c., will be wiped out as rapidly as the, proper officers eqn audit and adjust the :16 counts. The Second Series of the 7.30 Loan Was exhausted on Saturday, May 13th. Otf Monday,j tho Secretary. Of the Treasury autherized Jay Cooke, the. general Subscription Agent for U. S. Securities, to receive subscriptions for $230.000,000 of a Third Series, which is all that is authorized by Congress, and is without, doubt the last loan at this high rate that will be offered by the Govern ruent. There is no change in the terms or conditions of this Third Series, except that tho . i Government reserves the right of paying interest at six per cent. in gold instead of seven and three-tenths in currency—a . right which would pre.euppose n return to specie payments, and matte six per cent. in gold'evenbottor thhn the high er rate in currency . —a consummation most devoutly to be wished. The privilege of converting the notes into 5.?,9 six per cent. gold bonds at the end orthren years;_er r4i4tOving payment at maturity, at the Folder's option, is retained. • Tise first day of the Third Series Opened with subscription within a fraction of five millions, and the Month Of Juno will certainly:seo the last of the 7.30 S out of market.

Rumors have been continually flying about thisafternoon, to the effect that the steamer Clyde ran in close to the beach about 4 o'clook, P.
