A convention assembled at Harrisburg on the 4th instant, composed of a goodly number of old political hacks who used to justily any amount of State and United States robevies in the name of democracy, and guarded by a set of guerrillas in the lobbies and gallery, proceeded to hear Jef ferson's declaration that "all men are creat ed equal" read, after which they solemnly passed a resolution that all men are not created equal. They also determined to sustain the administration in words, and to oppose it in measures; that they were the only party that could bring back the con stitution and Union as they were, and clos ed their peace-offering to Jeff Davis by nominating Isaac Slenker, of Union coun ty, the man who was in the democratic convention last year that passed a non-co ercion resolution "amid the waving of hats and violent shouts of enthusiasm," as their candidate for Auditor General. The Southern Traitors and their North ern Sympathizers. From the course pursued by the Vallan digham papeis and politicians, it is evident that the same system of debauched lying which placed that living monument of in famy, .Tames Buchanan, in the Presidential chair, is again to be followed by those who are endeavoring to lead the masses of the democratic party into favoring the destvue tion of our nationality and the disruption of this Union. Losing sight of the his torical fact that this war was commenced by South Carolina, with the connivance of James Buchanan—a State which ucver had lost a dozen slaves through abolitionists— many well-meaning men take the danger ous ground that the Southern traitors are uo worse than the Northern abolitionists, aud throw the blame on the latter us the authors 01 the war. In this they are un wittingly following the traitors, for it is a fact that no mutter whether our soldiers are from the east, west, noi-th, cr south, the rebels call tlkein all alolitiouists .' Ought not this fact afford food lor reflection to those who are misled by this villainous cry. The great body of men in the North hold ing abolition sentiments, are leading exem plary lives and imbued with virtues that .would put to shame many a professing 'Christian man in this State who speaks of : them as no better than traitors. As an instance of their doings, we cite the fact and it is not an unusual one—that some 600 liberated slaves in the District of Co lumbia were a few weeks ago each furnish ed with two complete suits of clothing and many agricultural and other implements before emigrating to Hayti. No display of names was made, no ostentatious speech es, no published list in all the papers of the land. To confound men thus carrying out the precepts of our religion with that ■small portion of fanatics who enticed away the slave or followed John Brown in his mad undertaking, is as unchristian as it is ungenerous. The day is evidently not dis tant however when this matter will be bet ter understood by the public, and smalbpo tato politicians will then be taught the useful lesson that it is no disgrace toapar- ty to be called by the precise word which the rebels use to designate our brave sol diers, whether that word be Vandal, Hes sian, or Abolitionist. It seems to us that when a man finds himself using the slang of the blackguard, he ought to catechise himself whether he has not been in bad company } and when a man professing to love his country and its institutions finds himself using the argu ments of rebels and traitois against the party opposing them to a man, whether he ought not to scrutinize his conduct aud see whether he is not giving indirect aid and comfort to them. However political knavery may have been justifiable in years gone by, there car be no palliation for the falsehood now. Our country, every thing is now at stake, and he who is not for it, first, last and all the time, is agaiust it. BPfauThe arrest last week ot C. C. Ful ton, Esq., of the Baltimore American, on the nonsensical plea that he had obtained information of the recent events before Richmond at Washington, was at best an outrage on the pait of Secretary S'tuton. To arrest a mau who has stood by the Un ion in the worst of times in that city, while hundreds of opeu secessionists, as well as late rebel officers and soldiers, arc spreading their pestilential opiuions on the streets there daily, does not speak well, and the opinion here is pretty generally enter tained that a new Secretary is wanted. sense says, employ negroes in the south wherever you find them, eith er as laborers or when wanted as soldiers, and thus save the lives of our brave men. "No," says the Uuioii-as-b was man, "that's making an equal of the nigger I ' In oth er words, he says, let the white man die, and the darkey survive to remain a slave. You who have husbands and sons in the army, wh.it think you ol" the party which reasons thus ? The patent democrats of Juniata county have nominated Dr. Crawford for Senator ; John P. Wharton for Assembly; James S. Cox for Commissioner; and Thomas Watts for Auditor. It is r r€ tty evident that unless "balances" can bo arranged there will be an interesting family fight in this district. UgkoThe patent democrats of Chester county, in appointing delegates to the guerrilla con vention at Harrisburg, passed resolutions against paying war taxes. B§L,The patent democratic conventions generally pass resolutions charging extravn gaace, corruption, &c. against the General Government As the President has entrusted many important offices to members of that party, we are not at all surprised that some stealing should be going on.

Ia the absence of all official details of af fairs before Richmond, it is almost impossi b!e to give correct information of recent events. About all we do know is that after seven days almost incessant fighting Gen. McClellan's army had been brought into a position with its left resting on the James river, near Turkey Island, on a reach of the river nearly opposite City Point, and its right extending to White Oak Swainp, which fills up the intervening space to the Chiekahom iny river. The army is thus on high, ground in a defensible position, and where it can be reinforced. The battles through which it has passed are represented as terrible, aud very des;ructive on both sides. Our loss is esti mated at fifteen thousand killed and wounded and five thousand prisoners. The loss of the Rebels, except in prisoners, is believed to have been far greater than ours. On our side Gen. MeCall was wounded and captured and Generals Reynolds, Meade and Burns were wounded. We took many prisoners, but had to release them. A few of our siege guns aud from thirty to forty pieces of field artillery were lost. The large Parrott guns and the eight-inch howitzers, the most valua ble of the siege train, were saved. From the Rebels we captured a number of pieces of ar tillery, but probably not as many as they got from us. Beginning with the right at Mechanicsville on Thursday, 2Gth June, our advance forces while steadily falling back, have had a con tinuous running tight. On Friday one of tho severest battles which was ever fought on this continent, occurred on the right of the Chickahominy, near Gaines' Hill. On Saturday, after our forces had retired in good order across the creek and destroyed the bridges, we were attacked in front of our encampments, but Gen. Smith repulsed the enemy, leaving the ground strewn with his dead. On Satuiday morning, the arrangements having beeu completed, the wagn train was started on its way to James lliver, and was followed on Sunday morning by the artillery and commissary trains. Meantime the enemy, getting scent of our movement, strongly reconnoitered our front, and finding that several of our positions had been abandoned, pushed iu and attacked us vigorously. Generals Hooker and Hick ardson drove them back, and Gen. Meagher's Brigade, always on hand at the right time, charged and captured two of their guns.— The rebels paid a dear price for the informa tion which they obtained. Their chief strug gle was near Savage Station. Anticipating a movement on ourrightflank, the railroad bridge over the Chickahorainy was destroyed on Saturday morning. The rebels, supposing we had fallen back on the White House, sent a large force of infantry, cavalry and artillery in that direction, but after a long, rapid and weary march, discov ered they had gone on a wild goose chase in the wrong direction. They only found a small force of infantry and cavalry scattered down to guard the rear, who fell back and es caped from White House Landing. The rest was one of those " howling wildernesses," which the rebels intend to leave for us. All the quartermaster and commissary stores had been removed two days before, and the rub bish burned. Gen. McClt llan and Staff left the headquar tcrs .at Savage's Station at daylight on Sun day morning with a bdy guard <sf rh" Fourth United States Cavalry, and halted some five n.i!< s out, af; T crossing the L liite 0..k Creek. Then- w< r>>, on S.iturd ty, about one thou sand <>f the wound.-J and si.-k, chiefly a ecu nmiato 1 from >lie battle of Friday, many of whom it was found imp issibh; to remove, owing to the nature and severity of their wounds, and as a matter of humanity, as well as of i.e'Coo-try, they wt re left behind.— A great many, however, who could walk, slowly followed the tnick of the army, and the ambulances brought away a great many other;. ) 1 ";lhL 'tirinj from f/te Front. General Hooker's Division broke camp in the entrenchments at 3 o'clock Sunday morn ing, and Genera! Sickles' and Groveis' Bri gades proceeded to the outposts to relieve General Patterson's' New Jersey Brigade.— At 5 o'clock A. M., the three brigades fell back to the second line of redoubts, where they formed a line of battle with Richardson's and Kearney's Division, and remained until 8 o'clock P. M. On discovering that Gener al Hooker had fallen back, the enemy advan ced his scouts with two field pieces, and open ed a brisk fire upon his rear, along the line of the railroad. General Meagher's Brigade made a movement on both the enemy's flauk while the Eighty-eighth New York charged in front, and captured two of their guns. The enemy then fell back under cover of the wood. On the approach of the rebel force to the Savage Station, where the hospital was es tablished, a white flag was sent out, and it was met by a Lieutenant Colonel of the Con federates who gave assurance that the hospi tal should be respected. There was no firing, purposely, in that direction, and, if an ocea siomil sludl exploded near the house, it is be lieved to have been accidental. Sedgwick's Division left the front at day light, and were engaged by the enemy half way to Savage's Station, which they reached at SP. M. Here the enemy's infantry, with a battery, came out of the woods on the right and attacked them. The first Maine were advanced on the left, with a line of skirmishers in front. They had twelve wounded, three mortally, viz : Smith, Wren and Taylor. C. W. Haskell, Company C, was slight'y wounded, in the hand by a shell. Sedgwick's Division cross ed the creek at White Oak Swamp about four o'clock A. M., Monday. Ilis rear was not annoyed during the night. Keyes' and Porter's Divisions had already preceded us on the march, and had reached a position on the James river, near Turkey Island, which is about ten or twelve miles above City Point. The Engineer Brigade of Gen. Woodbury preceded the army, and constructed cordu roy roads where they were necessary. At the Four-mile Creek a bridge was built across the run. At the White Oak Swamp Creek two bridges were also constructed by the same valuable corps—one for the passage of the main army train, and the other to accom modate Gen. Heintzelman Division, who, with Hooker and Richardson, covered the retreat. Destruction of the Bridges. As the army resumed its march on Mon day morning, information was received, through Gen. Richards, n, that the enemy were pursuing, and orders were giyen to destroy the bridges. The Engineer Corps was detailed for this duty, and also to defend the approach to the place. Hoic the Retreat icas Conducted. The retreat was conducted in the most per fect order. There was no trepidation or haste ; no smashing up of wagons by careless or fast driving, and not a single accident of any con sequence is believed to have occurred. A drove of 2500 fat cattle, under the charge of Col. Clark, chief Commissary, of McClellan's staff, were successfully driven along. They had been brought up from the White House, and narrowly escaped stamping by the rebels. The forage of the army had ail been con sumed the day before, thus relieving the train of an immense burden. After approaching within about five miles of the river the train j was divided, part being sent by ach of three ' roads which converged near the landing. The soldiers regarded retreat as the carry- J ing out of part of a necessary plan—the only dissatisfaction expressed being at the leaving ! behind so many of the sick and wounded.— Plenty of provisions and medicines were left j for them, however, aud ifthey are permitted to use them, their situation for some time to come will be much better there than with the army in the midst of conflict and alarm. Care of the Sick and h'uunded. At Savage's Station, the Government had j made arrangements for the sick and wounded as they were brought from the field. It wa3 I under the care of Dr. John Swineburn. Dr. Brunot, cf Pittsburg, Penna., arrived on Sun day with a corps of surgeons and nurses.— How many of these remained with the pa tients 1 aui not able to state. There is a re port that a large part of them ran away when the army left. It was certainly aseve e test of their philanthropy to be left in rebel hands. The demand for nursing and surgica l at tendance was so great that large numbers were obliged to wait long hours before their cases could be reached. The worst cases were attended to first, but there was and have . been a great many who never received atten tions at all. The Approach to James River. When au aid of General McClellan rode back and reported that the way was all open to James River, a thrill of relief ran through the whole line, and the sight of the green field skirting its banks was indeed an oa.-is in the terrible desert of suspeuse and appre hension through which they had passed.— The teams were now put upon a lively trot in order to relieve the pressure upon that portion still in the rear. Gen. McClellan expressed the opinion that with a brief time to prepare, the position ' could be held against any force the enemy can bring against us. I The following is an account of the battles fought in front of Richmond on Sunday, Mon day, and Tuesday, the st'\, Gth, and 7th days of the engagement: On Sunday morning the corps of Sumner and Franklin were left iu the works at Fair Oaks, with instructions to evacuate and pro tect the baggage and supply trains on their way to -James river. They had hardly left i their position, and were ialiing back on the railroad and Williamsburg turnpike, when the enemy discovered the movement and im mediately started in pursuit with their whole force. So rapidly did they approach that our offi cers had barely time to place our men in position to receive them, before they were upon them. Tho enemy advanced to an attack about 2 o'clock, which was promptly met by our men. The battle lasted until dark, during which the enemy suffered terribly. They advanced in a solid rtftiss to within a short distance of (oir artillery, and the e£Vct of our guns on their ran as was fearful. They were killed ! and wounded by hundreds. At dark the enemy were repul.-ed, and i.irced to abandon their position. This bat tie took place about no uu<l a half miles above Savage Station. ! \\ tiiie the battle was in p-ogrcs3 other im- I portant events were transpiring. The rail road bridge over the Chii kahominy was burn led, and a train of twelve cars under a full head of steam, was ryu utcrhnard. Ail the commissary and quartermaster stores were uoitfuiictcd to the flames, together with a large amount of ordnance stores. The large house at the station, and the ad joining grounds, were filled with our si rk aud wounded, whom it was impossible to remove, and were left under the charge of our surgeons, with all the necessaries at hand for their com fort. They number about seven hundred, and are now in the enemy's bauds. The troops which had fought the battle of Sunday retreated, under the cover of night, to White Oak Swamp Bridge, a distance of j about twelve miles, there to await the ap ; proach cf the enemy. The disposition of the troops on Monday, the Gth day, was as follows : Gen. Smith's division, supported by Gen. Nag lee's brigade, occupied the right of the bridge, while Sumner and Franklin's corps were on the left. Ileitzleman's corps, with | McCall's division, was posted out on the New Market road to meet the enemy, who was ap preaching from the direction of Richmond. The enemy came up boldly early in the fore noon, having been heavily reinforced by troops that had fought the battle of Friday on the opposite side of the Chickahominy. At about 2 o'c'ock it became evident that some portions of our lines must give way, as the enemy were evidently throwing fresh troops into action. Our troops in front of the bridge now fell back to within three and a half miles of Turkey Island Bridge, where the fight was shortly after renewed, and eou j tinued with great determination 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 transportation had safe ly crossed Turkey Island Bridge. Some rear wagons were abandoned and fired on this day in. order to make room for the ar tillery. THE BATTLE ON TUESDAY. The fight was renewed early on Tuesday morning by the enemy, who evidently expect ed to crush our army. It lasted about thro* hours, resulting in considerable loss on both sides. The enemy then retired, leaving the field to our troops. They again advanced about three o o'clock P. M., in considerable force, but retired after being shelled by the gunboats and artillery for about two hours without coming near enough for the use of musketry. The loss of our -rmy 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 un accounted tor may have straggled away through the country, and may hereafter re torn. The loss of the enemy in killed mast have bean very heavy, far exceeding that of our army. We buye taken about seven hundred pris oners, among whom are three lieutenant col onels and one major. The loss in field artillery during the seven days amounted to about thirty guns. Whether this is a disaster or not, all can yet be retrieved by the forces of Burnside, McClel'au and Pope, the latter moviug on Richmond byway of Washington.

(Signed) B. MoCLELLAN. Major tieu.-ral Commanding Liberality of Physicians. —lt has always been said that physicians would disparage any remedy, however valuable, which they did not originate themselves. This has been disprov ed by their liberal course towards Dr. J. C. AVER'S preparations. They have adopted them into general use in their practice, which shows a willingness to countenance articles that have intrinsic merits which deserve their attention. This does the learned profession groat credit, and effectually contradicts the prevalent erroneous notion that their opposi tion to proprietary remedies is based in their interest to discard them. We have always had confidence in the honorable motives of our medical men, and are glad to find it sus tained by the liberal welcome they accord to such remedies as Ayer & Co.'s inimitable remedies, even though they are not ordered in the books but are made known to the peo ple through the newspapers.— Xcw Orleans Delta.
