It turned out, that 'when the night I before, we had stopped a few moments to encamp, .1 which intention was changed, when it was ascer- Mined that's:le ground was ploughed, the men havi , ag 'been dismounted as usual for bivouac, these hail fallen into so profound a sleep imme diately, that they did not hear us Nihau we moved off to another part of the field.

Biddle Roberts, of the Ist Reserves., Caine over to see us, and many of our officers, assem bled under the tree where be sat with our own commander, to enjoy his brilliant and agreeable emsoversation. We expected a fight before we got to ,itaexes River, and to take our share of it, -for we were entitled to no particular exemption, the other troops having undergone the same want of sleep as ourselves, although few suffered so much from want of food. I had four crackers from Thutedity at 12 M. to Saturday at 7A. M. There was no expectation, however, of being attacked that day, the enemy having been driven biek the previous evening. As we lay thus every one seemed to have dismissed all care for the mo ment, and I hardly ever remember / to have en joyed a more delightful social your than that was. - At I , ength an orderly rode pp, and deliv ered? an order, that it being the last day of the month, the regiment should be aetered for pay. As there was no mustering o er detailed, the Colonels agreed, after a few ants of Causal tation, th at each would must his own regiment. This broke up our party. fter muster, Lieut. Reinhold rode over to the wagons to try and gat something to eat in addition to - hard crackers, and returned' with a ham, which` made our mouths water, but when the Orderly Sergeant produced two chickens, which be declared be had found to be dangerous animals in this country, and so had been obliged to kill, and which he gave Jo our mess, now inoreased by the news of our good luck to several more than its usual number, upon the sole condition that he was to have his share, there was a general expansion of countenances, and the servants were set to work at once. We commenced our cooking at the house of the own • er, who with his faintly resided on the farm.— The man made a very unfavorable impression on nie—bis wife and family I pitied from the bottom of my soul. They had some four or fire children, and although it evidently went against the grain, she did all a woman could do to please the sol diers, as I thought, from a hope,, but not an ex pectation that it would keep them from injuring her family. Her husband was of no use to her, and she became worn out at last by her exertions. We bad just placed oareelvee around an enplaned board table, which we had found in the yard, when the close approach of the musketry and ar tillery fire, together with an order from General Seymour, started every one for his horse. When the line was formed 1 obtained permission to go back, and took time to drink a cup of coffee and eat a cracker and piece of ham. In short the servants got the dinner. Whilst I was eating - this seated on my horse, the woman of the house came to the door, and begged me to see the Gen eral, and have the house turned into a hospital..— .I told her that tvould certainly bo'don - o if we re pulsed the rebels ay/ advanced, but not other wise, and whether we did or not, if het' house proved to be in the line' of the enemy's fire, a . hos pital flag would not be respected by them, us - they bad fired on one the day before. I advised her to move herself and her family tes fast as she could, and to as greet a distance in TO difection. as she could go. Nobody would merest her, and she would find many ready to 'assist her. She was, I felteure,frow expressions, Very much afraid to remain until the rebels arrived`, if suceees ful, and Gee. Seymour told me afterward when I reported the case to him, as I had promised her I Would, that she lied taken refuge within our lines, with her ;thole 'family. The house within en hour must have bees riddled with shell, and probably horned. As soon as I had finished my scatty meal, I galloped back to the regiment.— The officers were assembled near the head of it under a tree, when Capt. Biddle, Adj, Gen'l to, Geo. McCall, and now performing the same du ties for Gen. Seymour, rode up to survey our po aition himself, in answer to remonstrances of Col. Childs as to the awkwardness of his position.— In my judgment the whole arrangement was as bad a one as could well bare been made. Be. tween our leading squadron (Cos. E. and F.) and the house, which was about 300 yards off, on somewhat elevated "ground was posted a battery artist field pieces, with its right toward our front, at that part of our line. Immediately in front of the battery, and parallel to it was the 12th Reg't of the Reserves, Col. Taggart, drawn up in line—and on the prolongation of the same line on which that Regiment was formed, were the 10th Reserves, Col. Kirke, and the 9th, Cul. C. Fager Jackson, formerly of 'Pottsville, but for many years a resident of the Western pal of the State.' I have been trying to get to seals= ever singe I first heard- of his being in' tits service, -- lan I found out What JaCkson it Was, which I did at Fredericksburg. Dunderstand from oth ers that be was just as anxious to see me. Our line extended, from the left of the first squadron, diagonally about fifty yards behind the battery. In the rear of the whole of our regiment, and running off to its left, and close behind it, was a swamp about 30 yards wide in many places, and no where less than ten, io which the horses after. wards sank to their girths. The 12th Reserves were subsequently removed from their position in front of the battery, land placed between it and Our regiment, and our left wing composed of Cos. eammanded by Captains Young, Dart, Tom bler, Duncan, Taylor and McCullough, was moved toward the left, so that the whole was formed on wall& lines, with intervals of about 25 yards between them, the artillery in front, and the cav alry in the rear, with the swamp I have spoken of about five yards behind the horses' bind feet.

The attendance was very large, there being from three thousand to five thousand persons present. Thomas A. Hendricks, pf Indianapolis, was chosen President ; Robert Lucas, Vice President, and J. J.

The President, on taking the Chair, af ter thanking the Convention for the honor conferred upon him, remarked that no Democrat would disturb the peace, but probably some of the outsiders would.— He recommended the members of the Convent-ion to pas such persons by as unworthy ot; notice. Gov. Wickliffe then addressed . Vie Con vention urging the most vigerous prose cution of the war and• said "if the twen ty millions of the North could not con• quer the six millions of the South without arming the nigger, in God's name let the Abolitionists in Congress get out of the way, and we, the conserVative men, old Whigs, Democrats and Republicans who reverence the Constitution, for there were some such, would proSecute the war, re• store the Union, and maintain the rights ofall under the Constitution intact." Representative Richardson, of Illinois ; Senator Carlile, of Virginia ; Representa tive Voorhees, of Indiana, and other dis tinguished gentlemen were present.

Egi— The Reading Railroad Compa ny has contributed $25,000 to pay as bounty to volunteers, and the Penn• splvania Railroad Company has con• tributed $50,000 for the same purpose. If Corporations have no souls they at least have hearts for the cause. far The "no-party" cry of the op position is the sheerest humbug. At theirlato State Convention a resolu• lution was passed endorsing IVi!mot —the politician, while Cowan—the "no.party" man was given the cold shoulder. Wherever you read their resolutions, hear their speakers, or see in their papers talk about "no party" put them, him or it down . as a humbug. The Republicans just now are the last to practice their proles sions—they are the only ones who refuse to sink party to patriotism.— If they cannot be patriotic and main tain their party organization they will not be patriotic. They care more for the planks of the Chicago platform than they cfo for tho articles of the Constitution of the 'United States. DV' We publish on. tire' outside a letter from Sohn Campbell, of Phila delphia, which will repay perusal.-- Campbell was for a long time an ac ceptable contributor to Forney's Press. lie was a Douglas Democrat but an honest one, and when Forney could not induce him to follow into treason . and Republicanism, Campbell had to publish his communication as au advertistnent in the Inquirer. Al diQughlb ere are some allusions in the letter that bad better been omitted, the main portion is so truthful and pertinent that we publish it,—the sentiments of a poOr and honest Dem. ocrat. • mi. A correspondentof the delphia llTeins , (Republican) - is- trying "to prove that Gen. McClellan is .not equal to the command of a large ar my," and that he is responsible for many disasters. It strikes us 'that such fellows had better go and help him—be may then get along better. Ur Some folks say -the war thus far has not been carried on in earnest. Perhaps, if they had been with Mc- Clellan as fighting soldiers, from Yorktown to his present position at Harrison's Landing, they might think different. Soldiers tells us that it was earnest enough at WilliaMsburg, Fair Oaks, before Richmond—in fact that there was very little playing done all along whether in battle or out of it. Why don't these "earnest" folks go and help. Let them go ! They need not stand on the order of their going, but go at once!• gm.

The Courier says that "many Democrats are throwing off the par tizan shackles and declare that they know no party bat the party of the Union." We hear of no Republicans throlving off the partizan shackles." Air the Advertiser: The Editor of the Courier in an article last week headed "Got his dues," relates that a man in Ohio was sometime ago ex pressing disloyal sentiments, when a Lieu tenant of the army, passing, remarked that he was paid $l2O a month for whip ping such men and "turned in" and "wip• ed him out." He suggests at the close of the article that said Lieut. ought to be de tailed for duty in this•direction. It is im possible for that one person to be every where on duty and I presume he is in his line of duty in the State of Ohio. The Editor of the Courier gets $BOO extra this year from the State of Penn. and he is a Colonel besides. Would- he be doing more than his duty if he in consideration of these things would "turn in" and "wipe out" those who are guilty of expressing disloyal sentiments in these diggins.l O A doctor advertises in one of our exchanges a "sure cure for a tri fling expense."

His de fence of the Constitution was power ful, thrilling and eloquent, and his apostrophes to and for the Union were the most superb ITtr t tlimoris of declamation. We thanked bim with a full heart, for his unanswerable de fence of our noble old Constitution, especially as it had been treated some. what shabbily in the meeting in the day time. Disregard the Constitu tion—the work of Washington—the magna charter of our liberties—and you disregard the Union—the Laws - 7 . everything—for all is dependent on the Constitution. There were a few points in his address that. we do not agree with, but his correct and over powering appeals for the Union and Constitution will hardly permit us to cavil with anything he said. We will, however, mention that we do not agree with him in his nullification of "State Rights." He places the Union before the Constitution, and has too much of the hundred times condemn ed theory of federalism—consolida tion and centralization--in him. He placed the Union not only before the adoption' of the Constitution; but be fore the Confederation—even before the Declaration of Independence.— This contradicts the record and his tory of the formation of our tnion. The Declaration of Independence was accepted by the people of the Colo &es, and their delegates in Congress were not authorized to enter the [pro ' posed] Union, without a reservation to the people of each Colony, of its distinct and separate right of inter nal self-government. .In the very front of the Articles of Confederation was placed the solemn declaration that, "each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and inde pendence, and every power, jurisdic tion and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United Srates in Congress assent. bled." The present Constitution con tains similar reservations, showing that the Union was .the result' f the powers granted by the States to it.— Those powers once granted, however, cannot be resumed. it is a contract, and to abrogate it requires the con. sent of all the parties interested.— The Constitution is the Bond of the Union; they must gtan;cl together, and they fall together; destroy the one ar you destroy the o her.

UNITED STATES HOTEL, } SARATOGA SPRINGS, J uly 26, 1862. Editors Albany Evening Journal It is not true, as stated in your pa per of this day, that I "had lately made a speech in New York in which I proposed to get up a counter revo lotion at tbeNOrth by heading a mob, and leading it to Washington to turn Congress out of doors by force." I have made no such speech, nor utter ed any such sentiments, much less made such a proposition. The state ment, therefore, is as untrue as it is absurd. The same paragraph further charges the with "treasonable pro= clivities." If this be so, it is unfor tunate that others whose patriotism is just now much vaunted are not alike guilty with Myself. At my instanch and upon my writ ten recommendation the .first dollar of public money appropriated in aid of the governMent was made by the Common Connell of New York, which voted one million dollars. As Mayor of that city I pledged the faith of that corporation for the outfits of thc reg iments proposed ,at the celebrated Union Park meeting in the spring of ' last Year. One of thc very first reg iments sent from 'New York was the Mozart, which was fitted out and formed by myself, and the expense advanced from my priVate purs.e.— This was followed by the Chasseurs, commanded by Colonel. now Briga dier General John Cochrane, the then chairman of the Mozart General Com mittee, which body of men was also recruited from among the ranks of my immediate political friends. Both of these regiments have participated in the battles before Richmond, and have nobly sustained the good name and the patriotism of those who sent them. Since the breaking out of this dreadful civil war I have held but one position, and that is of warm support of the government—and at no time, either by word or act, have I aided or abetted those in hostility to it. As an earnest of the truth of what I say on this point, I now offer for the cause of volunteering in th is State, the sum of $5,000 if the contrary to this averment can be shown.

This hole (an .acciden tal one) was barely large „ enough to ad mit the lad's body, but he was iiraWn in to it, and disappeared. The other boys hteame frightened and ran home, keeping the. loss of their compankm a secret for fear of consequence to themselves. The next day a search was made, his clothes' were found on, the bank, - and the river . was thoroughly dragged4to no purpose: On Wednesd'ay morning the bOye were:' forced to' tell where the iii i d .

WATERLOO, Va., Aug. 2.—lntelli gence from Culpepper:says that scout ing parties go out daily and occasion. ally bring in rebel scouts. No ene my in force has been discovered this side of Gordonsville. It is supposed that strong intronchments are being constructed at that place. Our troops are in high spirits. Gen.

De sertion has been much checked with. in the last few days by the stringent orders of Gen. Pope.

DISLOYALTY IN MASSACIIU; SETTS At a meeting lately held by some sholitionfets ffi Boston Seief-al of the Apesliefd boldly died Wed th'elP ty to the Union, tesofved that it ought to be destroyed, pronounced it folly for young men to enlist, and abiised the Pregident in unmeasured terms.— Among them a Mr. Pilsbury spoke as follows : "Half a million of the sons of the North have,gone to that worse than Ganges crocodile that inhabits 'the rivers or the South, and now 300,000 more are demanded. Why did not a voice go up from the united North that not another soldier should go un til the war was turned against slavery? (Great applause.) Abraham Lincoln, formerly called the slave hound of Il linois, has Increasedand enlarged his former tendency." Stephen S. Foster held the following language "He would fight, under the banner of the South if Jefferson Davis should proclaim, from his love of freedom everywhere, and his desire to co-op erate with all who sincerely aimed at freedom. There is no need to coin. pare Davis and Lincoln any more than any other two slaveholders. If there were, the uniform past record of the abolitionists would place Da vis above Lincoln ; for if slave catch ing is worse (as we declared it) than slave-holding, the latter is a greater slave-catcher•than the former. He (Mr. Foster,) would rather take his chance with Jefferson Davis, at the last judgment, than with the Presi dent." It must be quite unnecessary to di late on the disloyaltY couched in such utterances, while their tendency to "disturb and hinder the progress of enlistment" must be clear to every mind. From the following proclama• Lion of Governor Andrew we infer he has his eye on some such "conspira tors" in the town of Russell : "Commonwealth of Massachusetts "EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

All will be printed on banknote paper, and the fives and tens will be two and five. eighths inches in length, and all are one and three-quarter inches wide. The fives and twenty-fives will be brown, the tens and fifties green. On the upper corners of the faces Will be the denomination in white fig ures on a dark ground. The fives will have in the centre the fiVe•cent postage stamp, with a 's' in geometrical lathe-work on each side. The tens will have a ten-cent stamp ( with 'lo' on each side. The twenty:fives will have five five cent stamps partly overlapping from left to right; and the fifties, five ten. cent stamps, similarly disposed. Over the designs, as above describ ed, will be the words, "Postage stamp furnished by the Assistant Treasurers and designated Depositaries of the United States" and under them, "Re ceivable for postage stamps at any Post Office." In the middle of the lower part of the notes will be"U. in large letters Large figures (in lathe work) de• noting the denomination will be in the centre of the back of each "stamp" or "note," surrounded by the words, "Exchangeable for United Spites notes by any Assistant Treasurer, or designated United States Depositary, in sums not less than five dollars.— Receivable in payment of all dues to the United States less than five dol.

NOT SURROUNDED.-A balloon re connoissance on the James river, be low Harrison's Landing, has disclosed the fact that no rebel force exists on either bank of the James, and that Fort Powhatan is unoccupied. The attacks upon our transports and for ces have been made by guerilla binds with flying artillery, and not by for ces of - the enemy in batteries. Gen.

STRINGENT ORDER FROM THE WAR DE PARTmErrr.—An order was issued on Thursday from the War Department re voking all furloughs and leaves of absence, except those given by the department, on Monday, the 11th day of August, and or dering all officers capable of service to join their regiments immediately, under penally of dismissal from the service or court-martial. On Monday, the 18th, each regiment and corps shall be muster ed. The absentees shall be marked, and if not appearing within forty-eight hours will be dismissed from the service or treated as deserters, unless restored.— This latter can only be done by a court of inquiry. Officers not enforcing these rules will be dismissed from the service. O A New England paPet rirolioSes that clerks in stores volunteer, and that young lathes fill their places behind the counter.

The little speech was unex pected, but was taken in good part, and the advice was seen to be excellent. The large number of Republicans in Wash ington after office surprises many persons, but they are applicants for places under the Tax bill, which goes into operation on the first of September. RELEASE OF REM, Gsweasr.s.—A boat load of distinguished rebel prisoners left Boston harbor on Thursday for the James river, to be exchanged. Among them are Major General Buckner, and Briga dier Generals Tilghman and Mackalf, with the officers of their staffs, also cap tured. In return, we expect to have Gen erals McCall, Prentiss and Reynolds; Col onels Corcoran, Wilcox, and other brave and worthy men, released.

C., from lndiana„) in his speech, urged volunteering upon all men to protect their country. [Applause.] Fathers must be willing to give up their children, [cheers] and those we love must tie sent to the field of carnage. [Ap plause.] The Government must be sup ported, [loud applause,] and every office holder in Washington should *leave his desk and do his part. [No applause what ever.] Mr. P. looked around him—Ah I hear no applause to that sentiment.— [Laughter.] WArtrAm---Some of fhe ul tra journals of NAV Yofit are • tenting, the President to put dawn the war 'With' a' proclamation of emancipation: Procla mations have had their day and accom plished nothing. The best way to put down the war is to put large armies in the field at once. It wants bullets and bayo nets, and not paper proclamations to knock the life out of rebellion. = Those who are so ready to advise the President of the kind of policy he should pursue, would better show their zeal by offering themselves as recruits for a reoiment.— When they have &fished' rebellion by their efforts, they can better claim to die tate the policy to be pursued, and they have a much surer opportunity to enforce that policy. Proclaniations where there is no power to enforce them are only idle words. Conquor the rebellious States first, and then the rebels will be in a con dition to give heed to proclamations. But, in the meantime, while prosecuting the war, seize upon everything which is with in your reach to strengthen yourself and cripple your enemy. Show the latter no favors but such as civilized warfare de mands. The laws he has broken releas es his Government of any obligation to extend their protection to him in any way, until he ceases to resist its authority.— Ledger. CHEAP OF STORE RAUCH & LIGHT.
