Florence of Philadelphia, who will be remembered as one of the most ob sequious toadies of Buchanan's adminis tration and apologist for Cobb, Floyd, Thompson and other rebel thieves in the name of democracy, has started a new pa per in Philadelphia, a club for which was raised here by the strenuous exertions of some constitutional brawlers. The first number is nigger all over, and has little to say against the traitors now endeavoring to destroy this country, but much against President Lincoln, who is heart and soul in the w„rk of preserving it. So long as men calling themselves good citizens will lend their influence to support the princi ples engendered by such papers—princi ples well calculated to divide public senti ment at the North—there is but little hope of crushing the rebellion, and still less of rcsto ing this country to what it was in the days of Monroe, when the hydra-head of j party could hardly raise a corporal's guard, j How different from this is the conduct of leading democrats who were onee the hon- i oreu counsellors of that party? At the war meeting in Pittsburg on Thursday last, Hon. Wm. Wilkins, now 83 years of age, was called to the chair, and in his address , said— " Whilst I gratefully thank you for thus distinguishing me, and intimate what must be obvious to friend and to stranger, do not : suppose, for a moment, that I am cold or 1 neutral on the great event of the day. I atn j with } r ou in your unexampled unanimity— cordially with the General Administration : ' and every sentiment of my heart is detesta ti jji of the atrocious treason which has, in the neyro UEEX SECRETLY FOR YEARS PLOT TIX J, and is now eggaged in the open field of w 'ir. to overthrow a Government under the , administration ot wh'ch that minor portion of the Lnion always held an excess of infiu enco, ol patronage, and of office. No, no; were my grave now dug beneath the chair ' ) which I •:£, the last impulse of my heart, and th ■ last quivering murmur of my lips, would be in prayer for the success of the Ad ministration and the overthrow of the rebel lion. " At this moment, my fellow-citizens, it is a public happiness to believe that the course of events at Washington, and the call of the President of the United States for a large ad duicnai force in the field, plainly indicate an cnergetie policy speedily to bring the war to a successful termination. This is the great and preliminary object. Let all other politi eai questions and controversies givs way, and he postponed to the more appropriate and happy era when peace, and union, and the Constitution shall again cover the land." pink of Unionism, the Lewistown Democrat, calD the l'hi'adclphia Press and Lewistown Gazette incendiary sheets. Yes, hot.i those papers are rather incendiary on tories north and rebels south. Neither ever advocated non-coercion or disunion—neither c. er defended Jef Davis or the thieving hell hounds who held office under Buchanan—and neither (like Slenkcr, the Democrat and other prints) think a nigger batter than a white man. On the contrary, like the whigs of the revolution, they are down on toriesevery where —advocate war to the knife against all who would destroy this country—believe in con fiscating the property of rebels—go in for hanging traitors instead of re-admitting them to citizenship, and so far as the Gazette is concerned, its editor is in favor of blotting out that nest of tories, South Carolina, and giving it to the negroes for all time to come, and sooner than see this country disunited exterminating tho whole population of the Cotton States—all which of course is very incendiary in the eyes of oue of Cobb's SI4OO clerks. o&>As tory expressions still continue to oe made by rebel sympathizers, we recom mend our country's friends all over the county to mark down the expressions made, with the names of persons present, &c. s uch things wjil some day corue into u*e. The Guerilla Baids in Kentucky and Tennessee. The Nashville Union gives a theory of the guerilla raid in Kentucky and Tennes see, the general features of which are as follows: 'Many rebel officers and privates have been Bent back to their homes from the Confederate armv, ostensibly quitting the service in dis i gust, and professing loyalty by taking the oath of allegiance, but really for the purpose of organizing marauding bands at home to rob and murder Union men. i 'When these spies have ascertained the po sition and strength of our various commands, it is an easy task to make forced marches and cut off in detail a few hundred soldiers, whose ; officers are ambitious of quelling the rebellion by making conciliating speeches and catching the runaway slaves of rebels. The guerillas ! have the game all their own way. We aro betting on the gambler's tricks and furnishing all the stakes. In such a mode of warfare the finest troops in the world can be exter minated by a few squads of rangers.' The Union calls for a million of soldiers —one hundred thousand in every Cotton State, and a vast army in the Border States. 'We want an army of cavalry to hunt the guerillas to their dens and render them help less and harmless. Uniess we act promptly, our forces will either be cut up in detail, or the Union people of the South will be driven, penniless, starving and naked, from their homes. It is worse than folly to be acting, or rather not acting, as we have been doing. What wo want is one million of soldiers sub sisted and fed off the rebels. We must strengthen ourselves and impoverish the reb els. We must add to our force and resources and detract from those of the enemy. Let there be no inhumanity—no cruelty—but let there be an overpowering force, and let even handed justice be mete i out promptly. Such a war as we are waging now can be support ed by the rebels for ten years.' Public opinion is centering to the per suasion that it is time for the Governor to enrol all able-bodied men from IS to 45 in this State, and if more troops are required at once to make a <."raft. In truth we arc not alone in the opinion that a call from the President for from 550,000 to 1,000,- 000 of men under the militia bill recently passed, would end this war one way or the other in a short time. Whether it is to result in repossession, subjugation or con quest of rebel territory, let it be done at once, without regard to the feelings of the nigger breeders south or their sympathiz ers north. BThe Slcnker doctrine is that a darkey is too good to be shot at. powder mill explosion occurred on Wednesday afternoon, at Ilazardyille, Con necticut, by which seven persons lost their lives. —As usual, the Lewistown Democrat can see no difference between the arrest of an acknowl edged Union man and a suspected traitor— which is precisely the difference between Mr. Fulton and those whom the Democrat defends. B6L.We hope the Governor of Pennsylva nia will at once enrol one company of colored men for each regiment, to act as laborers when needed, and when fighting goes on as soldiers. Ten thousand could probably be raised in a month. fisgp'An unfinished building belonging to George Goshen, and the adjoining house own ed by Wm. Ilartman, occupied by himself and Dr. Bundis, in Patterson, were destroyed by fire a few weeks ago. Tho inmates of the latter made a narrow escape. A dirty locofoco paper called the West Branch Democrat, which like many others has made itself obnoxious to ill true friends of the I nion, was lately refused an insurance in the Lycoming Company, cri the ground that it was unsafe to do so, an attempt having been already made to burn out the concern. ®SL?-A correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing ir :a W inchestcr, Virginia, says: Gne rather remarkable feature in the mode of living in this town is that white and color ed people live on the same streets, and in many cases in adjoining houses. One would thiuk. from the social distinctions supposed to exist iu A irginia, that the whites would live mostly in one part of tho town, and the negroes be compelled to live in the other. The above will commend itself to the pat ent locofoco Jef Davis sympathizers here who are constantly harping on negro equality, &c.

It has been arranged that the Postmaster General shall issue stamps on and after the first of August to be used as currency until the Secretary of the Treasury can perfect his arrangements, when he will buy them at the cost value of manufacture from the Postoffi ce Department, and will sell and redeem as provided by the law. The stamps issued by the Postmaster General will probably differ iu no respect irom those uged for postage ex cept that they will be without gluten.

In pursuance of the sixth section of the act , of Congress, entitled, "An act to suppress ; insurrection, to punish treason and rebellion, to seize and confiscate the property of rebels, and for other purposes," approved July 17, 18G2, and which act, and the joint resolution explanatory thereof, are herewith published, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim to and warn all persons within the contemplation of said sixth section to cease participating in, aiding, coun tenancing or abetting the existing rebellion, or any rebellion against the Government of the United States, and to return to their proper allegiance to the United States, on pain of the forfeitures and seizures as within and by said sixth section provided. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United | States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washington, this twenty fifth day of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred [L. s.] and sixty two. and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-seventh. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. By the President: WILLIAM 11. SEWARD, Secretary of State. General Pope informs the War Department of another successful cavalry reconnaissance made by an expedition sent out from Fred ericksburg by Gen. King. Tiie force met one hundred llebel cavalry Dear Carmel Church, defeated them, burnt their camp and six cars loaded with corn. Another body of Stewart's Cavalry were driven across the Hanover Junction. Several prisoners, a large number of horses, and many arms were brought in. The dan age done to the Virginia Cen tral Railroad by a previous expedition * as found not to have been repaired. Gov. Gamble has determined to put a slop to the doings of the guerillas in Missouri, and has accordingly issued a special order authorizing General Schofield to organize the entire militia of the State into companies, regiments and brigades, and to order into active service such portions of the force as he may judge necessary. Gen. Schofield has gone to work in good earnest, and has order ed every man fit for duty to report to the nearest military post within six days, to be enrolled. The Provost Marshal of St. Louis has also issued stringent oiders in regard to the sale, transfer, or transportation of arms. A despatch dated Mobile, July 15th, gives currency to a rumor that Jeff Davis has de manded the surrender of Gen. Butler for hanging Mumford. If he is refused, he threatens to hang oue of the captured Goner als. On the authority of Dr. Butler, Surgeon of the Third Minnesota Regiment, the Nashville Union makes some remarkable statements re garding the affair at Murfreesboro.' The Ninth Michigan, he says, were surprised, but that 175 of them rallied and drove toe enemy back. The fight iu which the Third Minneso ta were engaged, he says, only lasted a few moments, and there were but four wounded and one captured. The regiment could easily have held it own until reinforcements arrived# but Forrest, the Rebel cuuiuander, thought he could frighten Col. Lester into a surrend gr, and sent a tlag of truce saying that he had a force 0,000 strong, and that further resist anee wouid be madness, whereupon the Col. surrendered at once. He is fairly charged by Dr. Butler with inefficiency and cowardice bat a member of the regiment, in a subse quent issue of the Union, publishes a card denying the allegation, although he acknow ledges that a longer resistance might hare been made. Brig. Gen. Nelson, on reaching Murfrees boro', on July 18, issued an order directing all the disloyal citizens to surrender at once all the United States property which the Reb el troops had distributed among them. The order brought the uniforms and equipments to the Court House by cartloads. The Navy Department denies, semi official ly, that the delay in taking Vicksburg has been caueed by any instructions to Commo dore Farragut. The place cannot be taken without co-operating land force, and to the absence of this force alone the delay is attrib utable. Extensive hospital accommodations for fivo or six thousand patients are to be provided at Point Lookout, mouth of the Potomac.— The location is said to be healthy, but we think experience will prove it to have been badly chosen. The War Deartment has recognized thele gality of the nine and twelve months volun teers called for by the Governor of Pcnnsyl va ia. The arrival of the Lnited States transport Fulton from New Orleans brings us four days later news from that city. There had Been nothing of special interest transpiring, with the exception of the seizure of some three thousand uniforms destined f.r the Rebel ar my, the regulation of the price of bread, and shipment of large cargoes of cotton, sugar and rosin. The health of the city of New Orleans continues to improve, although the sickly season is approaching. Gen. Pope has directed that hereafter no guards shall be placed over private property of any description within the lines of the Army of Virginia. Commanding officers are to be responsible for the good conduct of their troops, but it is not to be expected that their force and energy shall be wasted in protecting the private property of those hos tile to the Government. Gen. Sherman has taken command at Mem phis, and is rigidly enforcing the order that those who refuse to take the oatli of allegiance shall go south. Four hundrred took the oath iu one day, and one hundred and thirty received passes to go south. Vicksburg ad vices to Sunday night state that the shelling of the rebel batteries still continued. Com. Farragut's fleet silenced all the batteries whilst passing down below the city. G n. Ilalleck. accompanied by Gen. Burn side, left Washington on Thursday for the James river, for the purpose of consulting with Gen. McOlellan. It is presumed that this consultation will determine the direction to be given to the campaign, and be followed by important movements. The official accounts received at Washing ton place our losses during the " seyen day's battle ' before Richmond at about sixteen thousand in killed, wounded and missing. Dispatches from Boston state that the en listing excitement is on the increase in that I city. From present appearances Massachu setts will soon have her old regiments filled up, and the new ones culled for organized and in the field. Gen. Cass spoke briefly at a meeting in Detroit u few evenings since, urging the ne cessity of giving the Government all the aid it desires. His health is very feeble. Iho Chicago Board of Trade have appro priated ten thousand dollars for the estab lishuient of a company of mounted artillery, to be called the Chicago Board of Trade Ar- tillery. Gen. Lewis Partridge, ex United States Marshal for A ermont, was arrested a few days since on the charge of treason and was taken to \\ indsor, where the United States Circuit Court will sit on his case in week or two. The evidence against him is said to be very strong. This scoundrel is one of those who has been howling "abolition," "constitution," &c. The British steamship Tubal Cain, laden with anus and ammunition was captured by the gunboat Octorora, and has been sent to | New York for condemnation. She was run | ing towards Charleston when captured. | B£*V.The enlistments of nine months men j will cease on the 10th of August. A despatch from Fortress Monroe says : On Friday evening the rebels crossed over j the river a little above Harrison's Landing, i and took a captain off a schooner and burned ! the schooner, and then went and drove away | five hundred cattle belonging to the army of the Potomac, and these cattle were said to j have been at least a mile within our picket lines. Owing to this loss, no beef could be ! obtained at Harrison's Landing for the woun j ded on board the steamer State of Maine. Night before last, a company of rebel cav- j airy came down on Gloucester Point, oppo site Yorktown, and seized and carried off a lot of contrabands that had gathered at that place, and also forced into the rebel army all | the male inhabitants that could be found there i capable of bearing arms. They then set fire ' j to a lot of ship timber, and taking with them i their trophies, took their departure. , Rebel Raid on the Tennessee River. Canto, July 25.—The steamer Evansville. ' { from the Tennessee river, brings news of a i rebel raid at Florence, Alabama, on Tuesday j last. They entered the city, burned all the j warehouses used for commissary and quar | termaster's stores, and all the cotton in the | vicinity. They also 6ei/.ed the United States I steamer Colonna, used for conveying army J supplies, t ok all the money belonging to the | boats and passengers, and then burned the 1 vessel. The property destroyed is said to have been of great value. A small detach I inent of General Mitchell's army was captur • ed. The rebels then proceeded down the i Tennessee river to Chickasaw, Waterloo, and j the vicinity of Eastport, and burned all the warehouses which contained cotton. Anoth : er hand of forty rebels attacked a wagon train j ! near Pittsburg Landing, an<l captured sixty wagons conveying commissary and quarter- ' i master's stores. Rebel Raid on the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad. NASUY are, July 27.—The Tenth Ohio reg- I i iment, whilst guarding the Memphis and ! Charleston Railroad between Decatur and : Courtland, were attacked yesterday by a | large force of gueiiilas under Stains and ! ! Ward, and some thirty or f >rty of the regi | ment are said to have been killed. The road : | was considerably damaged, but not so much |as to cut off communication. A largo rebel j | force is reported to be near Tuscumbia, and ; Col. Forrest is reported to be at Carthage, ! with the object, it is supposed, of making a I j descent on the Louisvilie Railroad. Richmond Provision Prices. [From the Richmond Examiner, July 19.] THE MARKET YESTERDAY. The following table of prices of the meats ! vegetables. &c., offered in the market yes terday, will show what the head of a fami ly has to pay for a dinner in these times, j It will be interesting if cut out, framed • and hung up among the 'cabinet of curi osities of the war' for future reference and 1 for edification of coming generations : Beef, : pork and mutton : thirty-seven and a half ' cents per pound ;sh oat, fifty cents per pound; I chickens, seventy-five cents to one dollar apiece; ducks, one dollar to one dollar and ! a half apiece; goslings, two dollars ; pul lets, one dollar and a half; eggs, seveuty i five cents to one dollar per dozen ; butter, i seventy-five cents to one dollar per pound. Vegetables —beets, fifty cents per bunch ; j onions, fifty cents per quart or oue shilling apiece for the largest size); cymlins, one ! dollar per dozen ; cucumbers, one dollar per dozen; string beans, two dollars per pock; cabbage, fifty and seventy-five cents per head; Irish potatoes sis dollars per bushel; pears, fifty cents per dozen ; black berries, twenty five cents per quart; whor- j tleberries, thirty-five cents per quart; plums, fifty cents per quart: peaches, one dollar per dozen. But we tire. Enough. Commenting on the above the Examiner says: The citizens of Richmond are complete ly at the mercy of a band of foreign-born hucksters. Matters have come lo that pass that every mouthful we eat, except bread, must come through their hands, and ' be doled out at their exorbitant prices.— Nothing hut mob law offers any hope of getting rid of them. This method of pur- i ging the markets we do not recommend, but the day is clearly not distant when its j adoption may be necessary. People can not be starved to enrich a few Irishmen and Germans. The sight of a huckster hanging from a market lamp post would exert a more beneficial effect on the price of the necessaries oj life than the combined powers of the city authorities and Briga . dier General Winder. Postage Stamp Currency. —The Uuited | States postage stamps, which are now coming so freely into circulation, besides having the amount of their value in figures upon the up per corners, may be readily recognized by their colors and vignettes, which are as fol lows : , Amount. Vignette. Color. 1 cent Franklin Blue. 3 cent Washington Pink. 5 cent Jefferson Chocolate, i 10 cent Washington Green. 12 cent Washington Black. 24 cent Washington Lilac. 30 cent Franklin Yellow. 90 cent Washington Blue. Presuming that the debt and liabilities of the United States will be eight hundred millions of dollars at the commencement of 1803, it will then be less than one fifth of the national debt of England, less than one half that of France, and about onc-haif that of Austria.

Ex-President Van Buren, died at his resi dence at Kinderhook, New York, on Tues day of last week. The deceased lived to the age of fourscore, having mingled for forty years actively in the politics of the country. For the last few years his life hns been com paratively a retired one. In 1821 he entered the Senate, and became the ardent advocate of General Jackson. Subsequently he was Governor of New York, Secretary of State under Jackson, minister to England, Vice President of the United States, and Presi dent. In 1840 he was for the second time a Presidential candidate, defeated. In 1841 he was sacrificed by the pro slavery men of the Democrat party, because of his opinions ou the Texas question. In 1848 he ran as a Free-Soil candidate, and accomplished the defeat of Mr. Cass. Mr. Van Buren was pa triotic in his views of the present struggle, and denounced the rebels in strong terms. Nathan Shoemaker, a son of Mr. Eiisha Shoemaker, of Henderson Township, was murdered near Sacra mento City, California, on the 31st of May, by an individual in his employ.
