Bichabdson, of Illinois, and invite for it a carefal perusal. Col. 11. was the confidential friend of the late Stephen A. Pobolas, and has pursued the policy on the war qnestion marked out by that distinguished statesman in the last pnblio addreßßes he delivered. Col. It’s exposure of the tolly of the Abolition schemes pending before Congress is literally crashing, and cannot fail, as it deserves, to have a powerful influence on the public mind. We also publish the powerful and unan swerable letter of the Hon. W illiah Boer, a distinguished oitizen of New York, expos ing the Union party movement gotten up by Republicans in that State—an exact counter part of which the same party are attemping to organize in Pennsylvania. Ur. D. was oonspicaou9 in the Union movement of laßt year, and is one of the State Oommittee of that organization; but when he perceived that the movement, originally directed to pa triotio purposes, was seized by the rank enemies of the American Union for paftizan purposes, be refused to have anything more to do with it, and wrote this admirable reply to their invitation. Mr. D. was an old-lino Clay Whig, and a very prominent member of that respectable party in its best days ; bat since the schemes of the Abolitionists have beoome so apparent in this recent Union move ment, so called, he cuts loose from all connec tion or affiliation with them, and joins heart and hand with the Democratic party—the only true Union party of the country. PAR NOBILE FRATRUM I The unprincipled fellow who writes the editorials of the Express, and his no less prof ligate ally who Bpits his venom through the oolumns of the smnt machine in North Queen street, feel very sore at the castigation admin istered to them by the Junior in laet week’s Intelligencer, and try to vent their spleen on the “Senior by abuse of the lowest kind. All these ebullitions of passion; coming from the source they do, pass us by aB the idle wind which we regard not.” It is their vocation to wallow in filth and slime, and therefore excites no surprise from any one acquainted with their habits or dispositions. The one guilty of a orime which shonld canso him to be ashamed, if shame were not a stranger to him, to look any honest man or woman in the face—the other most of his time filled brim-full of lager, and ready to do all the dirty work that may be assigned him by his masters. Such are the degraded and debased ■peeimens of humanity who, in their vile bnt impotent malice, attempt to drag others down to their own dirty level; and, in their low and groveling malignity, resort to every spe oies of falsehood and misrepresentation, and are so lost to every principle of gentility and manly feeling as to spare neither age, sex, or oondition in their tirades of abuse. For an honeßt and gentlemanly political opponent we have always had respect, but for such despi oahle, oowardly assailants, such thieves of oharaoter, (especially where they indulge in malevolent flings at women,) we entertain a feeling of disgnst and contempt. The abuse of these miscreants is more to be desired than their praise, and we have no objection what ever to be the target for their poisoned arrows. 008 BRAVE MEN! Amongst the troops who greatly distin guished themselves at the battle of the Chick abominy, were the 93d and 104th Pennsylva nia Regiments, commanded by Col. Wm. H. Davis, of Doylestown and Col. Jahes M. M’Caeteb, of Lebanon. These troops were in the thickest of the fight on Saturday, and suffered severely in killed, wounded and missing. Both commanding officers were wounded, and had to be carried off the field. WHO ARE ONION MEN I All Democrats are Union Men. Those who are not Democrats are not Union men. If a voter is not a Union man he is not a Demo crat ; and if he is not a friend of the Constitu tion, which is our government, he is not a Democrat. All Democrats must be friends of thejjnion and the Constitution, and in favor of maintaining both with all the means in their poorer, or they are false to the foundation principles of their party. Can our opponents say as much ? Let their notions answer the question. “ PROPERTY IN MAN.*’ The Republican Wide Awake orators and newspapers, in the campaign of 1860, vehe mently denied that there was any “ property in man.’' With their usual consistency [!] they have totally ignored that proposition, by purchasing the big and little negroes of the Distriot of Columbia at $3OO per head ; and they desire to extend the purchase by buying : all the reat of the four 1 millions of slaves in the Southern-States at the same price per oapita. If negroes aye not property, why, we ask, throw away hundreds of millions of the public treasure in the purchase of them ? _ The “ Mansion House.”— We paid a flying visit last week to the ancient Borough of Carlisle, and “ put up ” at the Mansion House Hotel (Railroad Depot) now kept by that prinpe of landlords, Col. Henke L. Bubk- Holoeb. We merely mention this fact, so •that if any of our readers, in this county or elsewhere. happen to visit Carlisle, they may . where to find a firegrate stopping place knows howto keep jMumfe and that is more than oan to add of Ml .who make, t&e attempt, . v , - important War news yesterday. THE PUBLIC DEBT* In a speech made in the House of Repre sentatives, on Thursday week, Ur. -McPmni son, of this State, presented a statement' Of the particulars of . the National .debt cn the 29th Of May,. 1862, which foots op' as the whole amonnt $491,448,984j1. This statement purports to have'boon fur nished by the Secretary of the Treasury, of whioh we have some doubt, and mfcde pablio, one would suppose, in order to enlighten the people as to the real oondition of oar National finances. Now, this wonld have all been very well, and*might have been credited if had it stood alone and nnoontradieted; but oh the next day, in the other end of the Capitol, Sena tor Fessenden, of Maine, (aprominent member of the Committee on Finance) estimated that the public debt would reach 0700,000,“ 000, /at the end of the present fiscal year, June 30th,'1862, and he also stated that the yearly expenses would continue to be greatly inoreased in magnitude, as we must hqpeafter have a large standing army and a large navy. Snob a discrepancy as appears between these statements of leading Republicans, is irreconcilable, and is calculated to leave the people in as much donbt and uncertainty with regard to the real amount of the debt as they were before. It is important that some thing of an reliable character shonld be given to the pnblio, in order that the tax payers may know what they have to prepare for. As it stands now, taking into account the declarations of Ur. Stevens and others of the dominant party made heretofore on the floor of Congress, as well as the position and high character of Ur. Fessenden, whose fa cilities for obtaining correct information on the snbjeot are undoubted, we are disposed to believe his declarations in preference to the wild and random assertions of the will-’o-the wisp member from Adame county. If both are correct, then it would show the extraor dinary expenditure of over $200,000,000 for the ourrent month of June alone—that being the difference between the two estimates. CONTRABANDS. The country, says the Hartford Times, is beginning to get a foretaste of the evils at tending released slaves. The contrabands are now costing the Government one hundred thousand dollars a day. They are lying upon the walks, on the steps, and in the yards about Washington. At Port Royal they are so lazy as to be almost valueless as laborers ; but they will eat the rations, and lie around loose, a burthen npoh the army and the treasury. Let the emancipation become gen eral, and the white population will be forced to drive them out of the South, or to leave themselves. Perhaps a hundred thousand or so will come to Connecticut. [The quota for Penn sylvania will be at least five times as many !] Will the Abolitionists take oare of them, or turn them hungry away from their doors ? What effeot will they have upon society, upon labor, upon public sentiment here, when they flook into our towns and villages in Buoh num bers as to beoome burtheneome ? Why are the Western States—Kansas, Illinoin, Jto making the severest laws to prevent a negro from settling within their limits ? Where are the four million contrabands to go ? Already enough has been seen to satisfy reasonable men that they will not support themselves. We suspect that New England will find, one of these days, that emancipation is a measure well calculated to make sad inroads upon her prosperity. That the dootrine tends to break up the Union forever, is quite apparent. But the radical Abolitionists seem to oontrol measures in Congress, and to have general away over a large portion of the publio senti. ment at the North. For the good of the negroes, and the welfare of the whites, the people should pause and reflect upon this grave question—and then aot with reason, and in accordance with the dictates of humanity, if indeed they are determined to pay little or no regard to the compromises and the priooiples of the Constitution. now THE THING IS WORKING, We find in the Dayton (0.) Empire a communi cation on the subjeot of negro labor displaomg white labor. We make an extract from it to show its charaoter. We presume snoh com plaints will grow in number as the months roll ronnd: Messes. Editoks : As the Empire is the organ and friend of white men, I wish through its oolumns to call attention of the working men of the oity of Dayton to the fact, that at no time heretofore were there bo many negroes in the city as there are at the present time.— Go where yon will, you meet them, their dnsky faoes greet you at every turn, and a majority of them seemingly strangers. I believe there ie a branch of the Under ground Railroad in operation here, for they all seem to get ready employment on their arrival. For instance: In one shop in this oity, there are four negro blacksmiths. In a certain glue faotory all the hands are negroes. . A white man making one dollar a day, run ning a stationary engine in a certain carpen ters shop, had to leave to make room for a contraband at eighty cents per day. A certain nabob on Main street, and a great war man and encourager of our brave boys to volunteer, some time ago had a white man to work for him. One morning he told the man that he wanted him to do additional work.— This same nabob had also a negro he was rais ing, a grown boy. The man expostulated with him, and told him that he thought that the negro ought to do it. White men of Dayton, what do you think was the nabob’s reply ? Why, that the negro was too tenderly raised, and he did not want him to do it. The man, of course, left, as any man of spirit would, and his place was soon supplied by a newly import ed contraband. Another Main street gentleman, having a palatial residence, ground down a poor white man in his wages so low that he was compelled to leave, to make room for a low-priced con traband. The poor white folks about Dayton are not the only sufferers from Negrophobia. In a visit to the upper end of Cumberland county, in this State, a few days ago, we were oredibly informed by several respectable gentlemen that the contrabands brought from Virginia by General Banks, in his celebrated retreat aoross the PotomSo, are found in great numbers between Shippensburg and Wil liamsport, and that they are being hired at the former place and in its vioinity, at the -rate of five cents per day! What do our white laboring men think of this ? HOW TO CARRY <*NO PARTY-” If the Republicans desire to have no party organization during the*period of the war, they can accomplish it very easily. All they have to do is to abandon the Abolition schemes pending in Congress, and repeal those they have already passed. If they will be honest, and confide the war to what they professed a year ago—to a struggle for the Union and the Constitution—party dissensions will cease.— It is they who are reviving old party feeling and old party issues. The Democracy are only aoting on the defensive. It is not the Democrats who are reviving party issues. BEAUREGARD AT CHARLESTON. Late accounts from Gen. Hunter represent it to be hie opinion that the rebels have given up the Valley of the Mississippi, and that Beaubkqakd’s late army is now garrisoning Mobile, Savannah; and Charleston. ; This, is not unlikely, and if -true it will add fearfully to the cost and trouble of taking those places. No donbi every energy of the rebel govern ment will be put forth, to defend Charleston at' least. Meanwbite, : if seeins, Geh.'HuNTER can proceed no further against -{hat-city until he has more troops. BTEVRNE ENDORSED. I The following resolution was unanimously adopted at the Republican County Convent tion, held in this city on Wednesday last: J Resolved, That the coarse of car able and. faithfuF representative in Congress, linn. Thaddeos SrETENS. receiVto onr unqualified approbation. That the tbankß of this vention are hereby tendered hinvfor hisunt ceasing exartions in the present Cong ese to sappreBS;RebeUiog!and. punish tritftors ;tbat it is with feelings of pride we see the leading and influential position Lancaster county 1 now occupies in the administration of the ment. We have more than once intimated that the Republican party of this county was fast be coming abolitionized. ahd the unanimous en dorsement oFThaddehb Stevens and all.bis niggerism in their Convention ib proof positive that the deed has already been accomplished. Henceforth, therefore, the Republican party will be known and recognized as the Abolition party; and as their acknowledged leader has long since expressed a wish to see the Union “shattered into ten thousand fragments,” rather than that there ehonld.be any attempt to compromise onr national difficulties on fair and honorable terms, his followers, of course, hold the same sentiment, and are, doubtless, prepared to go the whole length of the moat ultra Abolition sohool in destroying the Union. We, therefore, charge the Abolition-party of Lancaster county with being traitors to the Union and the Constitution, and as enemies to the white laboring classes of the North.— By endorsing Stevens for his efforts to free the negro and destroy the Union, they have voluntarily placed themselves in the same boat with that areh agitator and demagogue, and will have to “ sink or swim, survive or perish ” with him. We call upon the white men of Lancaster oonnty, of every party,— those who support themselves and their fami lies by their daily toil—to mark this pestilent Abolitionist and his endorsers, to assert their manhood at the polls, and teaoh the whole orew a lesson which they will never forget. WHAT WHITE MEN WILL STAND. A certain Mr. Rock, a negro, recently de livered ah address in Washington to a large and enthusiastic audieuee, in which we find ths following ohoice sentiments— applauded, too, by his white auditory! Where will this fraternization with the negro cease ? " The black man was seen too near and generally looked at through the wrong end of the telescope. In morality the black man is much the superior of the white man. The speaker referred to an anecdote of a native African, who, when aoensed by a missionary of being immoral, indignantly asked the question, do you take me for a white man 1 (Applause.) “ The speaker spoke of the many positions the blacks occupy at the JJorth, and alleged that in Philadelphia the negroes had not only to support themselves, but the poor white trash that could not take care of themselves. (Applanse.) All men assooiate with their equals, and every man had a right to choose his own associates; but if any man did not like him, the Bpeaker, on account of his color, then he could only say such a person lacked good taste. He argned that amalgamation was a Southern plan, and the argument so often used, that a white man would not allow his daughter in marry a. negro, simply implied that white ladies must necessarily become oravy after the blacks as soon as they are emancipated. If this is to be the result to the blacks—first to be the victims of the white man’s avarice, and then of the white woman’s love—he pitied the negro.” (Applause.) We understand that this meeting was at tended by some of the members of Lincoln’s Cabinet, and by many of the leading Repub licans in Washington. This speech, and the manner in whioh it was received, is among the significant signs of the times—manifest ing the terrible change that iB going on in publio sentiment, moulded by the insane fanaticism that is now striking boldly at all the landmarks of society. The elevation of the negro to an equality with the white race will be but the practical development of the idea enunciated at Chicago, and a complete fulfilment of Lincoln’e project of “ lifting the artificial weights from the ehonlders of all men.” Everything points now to the full realization of the mad schemes of the fanatical agitators, who involved ns in a revolution, that before it ceases, will swallow np all that is dear to us in the past, while it will destroy all our hopes in the future. To eay that this agitation is limited in itß operation is absurd. No man who studies the ourrent of Btartling events can fail to eee its tendency, and the tremendous influence it is exerting. The time of Congress is entirely consumed in plana and projeots for the benefit of the black race, and passing measures .whose object is to bring about their equality with the white. The organization of the Republican party was for no other object. Ab one of its present prominent supporters said in 1860—‘‘Justice and liberty, God and man, demand the disso lution of a slave-bolding Union, and the for mation of a new confederacy in which slave holders shall stand before the Jaw as felons, |nd be treated as pirates are treated. Then will come the time when the black mail shall stand before the law, as he now stands before his God, as the peer of the white man, and come into the possession of the civil rights of which he has so long been deprived.” This atrocious sentiment was uttered by a man who uow holds a prominent position in the govern ment. Is it for this our blood and treasure are to be poured out like water? Let every white man ask himself seriously this grave qaestion.— Newark Journal. ISN’T THIS TREASON: We make the subjoined extract from the Washington correspondence of the Lancaster Express, published in that paper on Friday last:’ They. “ say ” that the President asked a friend if he (the friend) wanted to know how many-troops the rebels had in the field, and on being answered in the affirmative proceeded to demonstrate that they numbered 1.280,000; for, Baid this President, we have 640,000, and all my generals insist that they are outnum bered by the enemy two to one. Now, if the publication of this paragraph be treason, (and we suppose it is according to Abolition logic,) the Express will have to stand it—not we; for it is copied verbatim from that paper. But, whether treasonable or not, it is a good hit, and “ Old Abe ” shows his good sense in the remark. B@“Previous to the Presidential eleotion of 1860, the opponents of the Democratic party applied to its members many epithets of deri sion ; but among the catalogue of sarcastic appellations fixed upon us by Republicans and Abolitionists, none were uttered with such unction of soorn as those of “ Union-Savers” and “Union-Shriekers.” The valiant orators of Republicanism were in the habit of point ing their wit and adorning their denunciations of Democrats in general by calling them Union Bayers and shriekers. The people are now looking back to the admonitions of Democrats then spoken and written against the success of a sectional party based upon antagonism to the vital interests and institutions of a large number of the States of the Union, and think ing that the Democrats were not only earnest in their endeavors to Bare the Union, but that they took a very proper and prophetic view of the whole subjeot of Abolition sectionalism. “The Constitutional Union.” —This is the title of a new Demooratio weekly, the first number of which will beisßued in Philadel phia, on Saturday next, by Thohas B.

' A BRIBE AND POINTED SPEECH- Vindication of Judge Dangle* from Affll : -“N, latlonwlth tbe Abolitionists. In the Honse of Representatives, on the 24»h of May, several speakers of the Abolition failh -made speeches misquoting Mjy Oqpglaatasupr pojt their peculiar views on’&nancipation and confiscation. Oolonel Riohaidson replied to them briefly and to the point He sud; .s : ii'Mr. Speaker—l proposrto reply.fo a single point which has arisen daring the progress of Jhu'clebate. Repnblioan members have frequently quoted Judge Douglas within the last few dayß, and quoted him, too, for their own party purposes. And now I desire to remind--them and the country that in all his speeches in reference to this war. Judge Daoglaa took the broad and statesman-like position that this war shonld be conducted for the preservation of the Con stitution and the enforcement of the laws-j-for nothing more, nothing less. His position is so clearly defined that a few brief extracts from bis last speeches will at once vindicate the truth of history, and plaoe him in the proper light before bis countrymen. At Springfield HI., in a speech made before the legislature daring the month of May, 1861, he said: “ The first duty of an American citizen, or of a oitizen of any constitutional government, is obedience to the constitution and laws of his country. I have no apprehension that any man in Hlinois, or beyond the limits of onr own beloved State, will misconstrue or misun derstand my motive. So far as any of the par tisan questions are conoerned, I stand in equal, eternal and undying opposition to the Repub licans and the Secessionists.” And again, in the same speech, he re marks: “ Hence I repeat that I am not prepared to take np arms or to sanction a polioy of onr Government to take np arms to make any war upon the rights of the Southern. States, upon their institutions, upon their rights of per sons or property; bnt, on the contrary, wonld rush .to their "defence and preteot them from assault; bnt while that is the case, I will never oease to urge my countrymen to take up arms to fight to the death in defence of their inde feasible rights. [Long continued applanse.] Henoe, if a war does come, it is a war of self defence on onr part. It is a war in defence of onr own just rights ; in defenoe of the Govern ment whioh we have inherited as a priceless legaoy from onr patriotio fathers; in defenoe of those great rights of freedom of trade, com merce, transit and intercourse from the centre to the oircumference of our great continent.— These are rights we must struggle for and never surrender.” And in the last great effort of his life, his speech at Chicago, made bnt a few days prior to his death, he Baid : - "We must not invade constitutional rights. The innocent must not suffer, nor woman and ohildren be the victims. Savages must not be let loose.” Neither Repnblioan members nor Republi can offioials any where can find any thing in the above extracts, nor in any speeoh or letter of Judge Douglas, which will justify them in the slightest violation of the Constitution. On the contrary, every aot of his pnblio life, and even his dying injunction to his children, con demns unequivocally all the unconstitutional legislation which you propose, and all the un oonstitutionalaots of which your party offioials have been guilty. The Republican party, through its Presi dent, through this House, and through the Senate, had given a construction to the Con stitntion showing the absenoe of power to pass justsuoh bills as yon are now advocating and intending to pass. In his inaugural address, after having taken his solemn oath to support fchfi Constitution, Mr. Isinooln mild : “ I have no purpose, directly or indireotly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.” The House of Representatives of the Thirty sixth Congress, a majority of whose members were Republicans, passed the following resolu tions unanimously: “ That neither the Congress of the United States nor the people or governments of the non-slaveholding States have the constitutional right to legislate upon, or interfere with sla very in any of the elaveholding States of tho Union.” By the organio aots of the Territories of Ne vada, Colorado and Dakotah, the Republican party, by its own legislation, had recognized and approved the dootrine of popular sover eignty, which Judge Douglas regarded as es sential & the removal from these halls of the most disturbing qnestion of the country I do not presume that, when Judge Douglas thus strongly asserted the necessity of main taining inviolate the Constitution of his coun try, he for a moment suspected that yon would ever attempt the violation of the pledges wich your Republican Congress had given the peo ple, and which yonr Republican President has reiterated. Bnt the bills now under considera tion propose to violate not only your pledges, bnt, at the same time, the Constitntion. Yon forget yonr promises; you advocate those hills, and urge thejr passage through CoDgresß. “WHAT WE ARE COMING TO.” Under this caption, the London (Madison county, O.) Democrat of the sth inst., has an article from which we clip the following : Our own oounty is already beginning to en joy the first fruits of the “ good time coming.” We are informed that a few days since a cer tain farmer, not many miles distant, has dis charged all his white farm hands and had employed eighteen of the negroes sent hither ward by Col. Moody, at twelve and a half oents per day ! Laboring men of Madison ! this is only a foretaste of the blessings in store for you. Sure enough 1 What are the white laboring classes of Pennsylvania coming to ? In this oity and vioinity hundreds of runa way slaves have taken up their quarters and have successfully entered into competition with our white laborers, by offering to work for low wages. We hoar of numerous cases in our im mediate neighborhood where white men have been turned away by their employers to make room for “ whose services are obtained at half price. This may suit capital, but does it suit white labor? Is this incipient revolution in the labor of the North in accord ance with the glowing pictures of future pros parity, the warm professions of sympathy held out by the Repnblicans as a lure to the white laborers of the North when they unfor tunately enveigled them from their allegiance to the Demooratio party, which, alone, has ever represented and defended the interests of labor against the oppressive and usurping tendencies of capital! Does “ the dignity of labor,” a oant phrase of the Republicans, consist in the degradation of white men doomed to compete for a day’s work with hordes of half-starved negroes, forced upon us by the destructive policy of the Abo litionists ? That policy is depopulating the fields of the South and leaving them to sterility and waste, while it is depriving the Northern laborer of his wages and quadrupling his tax es! How long will the people of the North blindly believe in the false pretences of these political mountebanks ?—Patriot & Union. THE DARK LANTERN PARTY. We clip the following important item of intelligence from the Harrisburg Patriot & Union of yesterday: We know, upon the most reliable authority, that Hosea Carpenter, the high priest of the Loyal Union League, accompanied by several of the high brothers, was at work last week organizing secret lodges in the oity and county of Lancaster. The loyalty of Thaddeus Stevens and his adherents iB so questionable, and his re-election to Congress so doubtful, that it has been deemed necessary to organize loyal secret societies in Lancaster to ensure the success of the great anti-mason—of the un compromising enemy of all secret societies, — Brother Berqner, assisted by several of the oocult magnates of Dauphin county, was there assisting at the incantations, and proved really useful in making the “ fire burn, and eauldron bubble.” Trout Factory in Connecticut. —Messrs.

The Convention, which was composed mainly of village and cross-road postmasters and prospective.candidates for the county offices next fall, was rather slimly attended, and very little interest seemed to be manifested in its proceedings. The following reso lutions (which may*poßsibly be useful for future reference) were adopted: Resolved, That we cordially endorse all of the efforts of tbeadmlnlstratlon to speedily suppress tbe existing rebel lion against tbe laws and authority of the United States; that, caused as it has been by Southern traitors, and by them waged in an outrageous and barbarous manner, we hereby urge upon Congress the speedy passage of a law confiscating the property of tbe rebels, and applying it to relieve tbe loyal citizens of the country from the burden that otherwise will necessarily be imposed upon them. Resolved, Tbat the successful exertions of Gov. Curtin during tbe past year, in preparing Pennsylvania to honor ably acquit herself In the present struggle for national existence, receive our earnest commendation. Resolved, That we cordially acquiesce in tbe broad and liberal basis on which the State Convention, has been called and will be constituted, and tender the right hand of fellowship to all citizens who are willing to unite, on equal terms, in a resolute effort to maintain the Common wealth of Pennsylvania in an attitude of firm support of the National. Administration in its great effort of suppress ing rebellion—vindicating the rightful authority of the Government, and establishing peace on principles of free dom and Justice, in opposition to tbe efforts of an unpatrl otlo faction In tbe State, banded for the purpose of ham pering tbe Government In its operations and shielding rebels and traitors from just punishment, In the hope of promoting their selfish and mercenary designs by an alli ance with those who have aimed felon blows at the very life of the nation. Resolved, Tbat the course of our able and faithful repre sentative in Congress, Hon. Thaddeus Btevens, receives our unqualified approbation. Tbat the thanks of this Conven tion are hereby tendered him, for bis unceasing exertions in tbe present Cingress to suppress rebellion and punish traitors; tbat it is with feelings of pride we see the leading and Influential position Lancaster county now occupies in the administration of the Government. Resolved, That Pennsylvania is now, as she ever bas been, ready to poor out her blood without stint or measure, in defence of tbe Constitution, of Liberty, and of Freedom to all .men. With McClellan before Richmond, Ualleck In tbe West, Burnside and Butier in the South, Fremont and Banks in tbe Mountains, the flag of our country has been gloriously upheld by her sons, who, on every battle field of the war, have added freth and nndyiog glories to tbe escntcbeon of the old Keystone State. Resolved, Tbat in the Hon. Thos. E. Cochran, our present able and efficient Auditor General, we recognize the right man in tbe right place. His untiring devotion to the in terests of the Commonwealth, his proved honesty, industry and efficiency in all branches of his onerous duties, all de mand tbat a public officer, marked.by such characteristics, should be continued in the station be now holds with so much advantage to tbe public interests. . The following persons were elected delegates to the State Convection, viz: Messrs. Michael H. Shirk, Day Wood, Elwood Griest, John H. Zellers, R. W. Shenk and Chris tian Colgan. The Convention then adjourned. Promoted,— Among the confirmations in the U. 8. Senate, on yesterday week, waa that of our towns man Lieut. William Reynolds as a Commander (on the retired list) of the U. S. Navy. Lieut. R. Is a brother of the gallant Gen, John F. Reynolds, now commanding the Ist Brigade of the Pennsylvania Reserves. The Eclipse. — A total eclipse of. the Moon took place on Wednesday night last, or rather Thursday morning, commencing at 12 o’clock aDd closing at 8 o'clock. The eclipse was witnessed by a large number of our.citi zens. Hundreds of eyes were tamed heavenward that night, and onr astronomic s&vans held high carnival. We have not heard of any of onr friends being eclipsed on the occasion, and therefore presume that they guarded well against such a catastrophe. Swords’ Presentation.— The following note of an Interesting presentation of swords to Lieote* ants Shboad and Haus of Co. K, (Capt. Pyfer's,) 77th Regi ment, P. V., has been forwarded as for publication, and we insert it with great pleasure: Camp rear Cobirtd, Miss., 1 June 2nd, 1862. j The members of Company K, 77th Regiment, Pennsyl vania Volunteers, (Capt. Pyfer’a,) took up a collection among themselves, for the purpose of presenting two Swords, one to Lieut. Jonw C. Shroad, and the other to Lient James A. Haus, of Co. K. The swords were pre sented to day by the Committee. The Lieutenants thanked the Company in suitable style for the tokens of respect, and for the confidence placed In them. We are certain that both swords will be used for the good of the comoanv JOHN OBREITEB, 1 SAMUEL C- WATSON, >Committoe. MICHAEL FITZ, J [Volksfretmd and Express requested to copy.] Fatal Casualty.— An accidental death oc curred on Saturday last, on (he Heading road, about four miles from this dty. It appears that some men of that vicinity were engaged in deepening a well, and one of them, named Chas Shriner, while at the bottom, was over come by the gas which had there collected, to such an ex tent that he was unable to get up, upon Which another of the party, named Jacob B, Grosb, had a rope fastened round his body and went down to his assistance. He reached the bottom, fastened the rope round Shriner, and gave the signal to draw him up, himself remaining at the bottom of the well until his friend was saved.- Ehrlner was raised, and presently recovered from the effects of the carbonic acid. In the meantime, however, his preserver, while trying to ascend the ladder, had suffered more se verely, and before he could be rescued the poisonous vapor had done its work, and he was dead. What Is remarkable about this occurrence is, that both men worked in the well a few days previously, which fact alone should be a warning to all, that even in so short a period death may be caused by the uncertainty as to the state of the air in. the wells. Too much care cannot be exercised in going into vaults and wells, as there is frequently a quantity of this destructive fluid collected, and sueh acci dents frequently occur. We have not heard whether Mr. Grosh left a family. He died in the fulfilment of a noble purpose, giving up bis own life to save that of an instance c T practical benevolence but rarely furnished, and the more remarkable when found.— Wednesday’* Express. * Columbia Affairs.— We clip the following Items from Saturday’s Spy: ° Bodt Found.— The body of Henry B. Snyder, son of Mr. Isaac Snyder, of this place, who was drowned on the 13th of April, falling from a raft below the Colombia Bridge, was found on Friday of last week by some boys against the bead of a raft lying at the shore near Washington.— The body was mach decomposed. After an inquest the remains were brought to Columbia for burial. An Exploit. —We have heard of an exploit whieb, con sidering the age of the performer, is worthy of note. One day last week Aaron Herr, a boy of 12 years, residing in West Hempfleld township, shot a bald eagle near Cordelia Furnace. We did not learn the dimensions of the bird, but believe It was full grown. The youngster hawks at large game. We hope his success with so noble a bird will teach him to scorn gunning after the smaller fry of birds which are so mercilessly'destroyed, to the great detriment of the farmer, all over the country. *» Railroad Accident.— On last Tuesday morning the first freight east after the Lancaster and Columbia passenger train was thrown from the track, opposite Chiques Bock, by coming in contact with some cattle. The train came upon them at the curvo where they attempted to save themselves inside the track, but one of them was caught between the cars and rock and croshed to death almcat instantly. The other cattle were also fatally injured. The •bock threw the train from the track, smashing a number of the cars. Exaggerated reports of less of life among train hands were received here, bnt we believe the only in juries were to Abraham Bife, brakesman, who suffered a broken leg and a hurt to one of bis arms, and to the fire man, who received some slight injury. For The Intelilgencor. “OBSERVER’S” compliments to the editor of the Ex press, and would respectfully inform him that he barked up the wrong tree when he charged him with attacking Parson Brownlow in his communication. “ Observer ” has never supposed that the Parson was an Abolitionist, what ever else his opinion of him may be, and therefore bis re mark about an « Abolition fool" did not apply In that di -rectfon at all, nor teas it to intended.

Carroll concluded to bold the bridge, and ordered it not to be burned, patting guns in position commanding it.. The night waspaasedquletly, butatrix o’clock on Monday morning he. was opened upon by some twenty heavy gnus which the enemy had pat in position during tbonightT Onr forces then tried to Teach the bridge repeatedly, to destroy it, hot were met by storms of bullets, and had to retire. A large cavalry force then crossed and attacked onr troops, while their Infobtry followed, onr men opposing them at every step, often driving them back with heavy loaf. Onr numbers, however, even after Gen. Tyler’s Third brigade arrived, were much inferior to the enemy,- his force belcgat least five to one, and onr position beeame untenable. 001. Carroll, discovering the fores of the enemy to be so overwhelming, ordered his command tofall back, our men fighting every foot of the way. After falling baek some three or four miles, a body of cavalry , were sent to attack us, bat were received in.such a manner as to compel them to retire, when, the engagement ended, havlng.l&sted about five hoors. Our loss in killed and wounded is not known, bnt it Is large, as Is also that of the enemy. We lost a considerable number of prisoners Col. Carroll’s horse foil during the fight, injuring him badly. Capt. Reilly, of Gen. Shields* staff, was badly, in* jured In the bead. He received praise from all for his gal* lant bearing during the fight. 001. Buckley, of the 29th Ohio, was badly wounded. Bis men charged three times to get possession of him, bnt he was carried off by the enemy. Gen. Ashby, ofthe cavalry notoriety, was positively killed during the fight at the bridge over Middle river, as we learn from prisoners taken. This was one of the most hotly contested fights of the whole war, as Indicated by the loss compared with the nutobers engaged. The men on both sides fought like demons. Capt. Keogh charged with a body of cavalry and held the bridge for a consider able time under a considerable storm of grape. LATER—FURTHER PARTICULARS. Lurat, Jane 10.

Stanton , Secretary of War: The attack upon the enemy’s rear of yesterday precipita ted his retreat. Their loss in killed and wonnded was very severe, and many of both were left on the field. Their retreat is by an almost Impassable road, along which many wagons were left in the woods, and wagon loads of blank ets. clothing and other equipments are piled up in all directions. i During the evening many of tbs rebels were killed by shells from a battery of Gen* Stahl’s, brigade.

Major General Commanding. For Tho Intelligencer. IS LANCASTER COUNTY PROPERLY REPRESENTED IN CONGRESS ? Messrs. Editors: The above question is one of deep sig nificance, and has been agitating the conservative element of oor district for the last year or more. If we were to in terrogate every voter in the county In regard to his views upon the Slavery question, there wonld scarcely be one in twenty who would be willing to acknowledge .himself an Abolitionist. And yet it is a fact known to every person In tbe county, who has sufficient intelligence to take a position, or to understand his own sentiments, that the only distinguishing feature in the conduct of our repre sentative (Mr. Stevens) is that he is an open and avowed Abolitionist. The only idea or principle which has influ enced him in every vote, and In all his speeches and ac tions in legislating upon any line of policy during the whole of the present Congress, has been the emancipation scheme of the extreme Abolition wing of his party. In deed, he has taken tbe high ground, and almost Bald in so many words, that he would not consent to a restoration of peace, or a reconstruction of tbe Union, until freedom Is given to all the Slaves of the South. So intent are the ul tra men of tbe now dominant party policy, that in their legislative capacity, as well as in the broad senti ment of the party, their efforts are to create the impres sion North that the war cannot be brought to a close until their emancipation scheme Is consummated. To develop this fact, and by such foul means deceive the unwary In order to keep (by the force of public sentiment) the North united against the South, Is the leading characteristic of all their movements, the burden and pith of every argu ment, and the chief cause of the vulgar slang used by picayune editors, of penny newspapers and the smaller tribe of curs, who growl and snarl, and snap and fuss when a Democrat speaks of party organisation, or advocates those principles which can alone restore peace and harmony to our distracted country. The question then comes up. how' can this district be benefited by such a representative, and what good can result to our people, or to the country at large, by this line of policy f The agitation of the Slavery question has been kept up from time to time, until It has driven tbe people of the South Into desperation. And at this hour when we stand amidst the wreck of a shattered, distracted and ruined country, when all our boasted prosperity is cheeked, and the industrial and commercial Interests everywhere are almost destroyed, and-when capital has shrank to one half Its former dimensions, making land and property as a drug in the market at half Its former value, and when taxation Is to bear us down for generations to come, can we stand erect in the general ruin and aay that we have contributed nothing towards bringing this deplorable state of affairs about? Can we say that the agitation of tbe Slavery question has not been the principal agent lo driv ing the contending interests of the two divisions of the eonntry into antagonistic extremes, and precipitated civil war upon us in the midst of unprecedented prosperity ? If the agitation of tbe Slavery question has done this thing —and no sane man of ordinary intelligence can doubt it— Is the fact not patent to every voter who cast his ballot for Stevens, that he contributed so much at least toward the general ruin ? and, whether knowingly or not, he thereby helped to place one of the most powerful agitators In the country jnst in such a position as to give him great advantage In the prosecution of ih&t Satanic scheme which must if it has not already destroy the country, if they succeed In carrying it to its final consummation. We recur then to the original question. “Is Lancaster County pro perly represented in Congress?” Are the true interests of this district favorable to a line of policy calculated to re store the country to its wonted harmony, and again to' open the avenues of peace and prosperity by the restoration of the Union as it was and the preservation of the Const!- tntioD as It Is? or are we favorable to a continuation of this accursed agitation of a question upon which the differ ent sections of tbe eonntry can never agree, and conse quently no peace, no harmony and no Uolon can exist until one section is avenged and the other destroyed, or ontil the Government must fall with the wreck of its shat tered and mutilated Constitution ? . If the former is the pleasure and interest of the county of Lancaster, then toe are not properly represented; but if the latter portrays our true position, then indeed are we more highly favored than most Congressional districts, for no man can better direct and conduct the destructive ele ment which has unfortunately crept Into the body politic than Thaddeus Stevens. Tbe people of this district hare a loro for the Constitu tion, and an abiding faith In ail its provisions, and feel that so long as it is respected, and ail its guarantees and powers stoutly enforced, the true interests of every district will be maintained and developed, the whole eonntry will be rich with the elements of prosperity; and If a desire to do a conservative duty is the leading motive and the ruling object of tbe men who represent the. people end compose tbe Oongressof the Nation) harmony and unity In all tbe principles of Civil Liberty must be the result, and prosperity and happioess will extend to the remotest limits of the country. These are some of tbe happy con sequences of a true, conservative representation, and Lan caster county must. In common with all other places, share . the benefits thus dispensed, and join in the universal en joyment of a whole, happy, united people. But suppose the representatives of one section institute a crusade against thelnstitutions of tbe other, and thereby violate the plain teachings of the Constitution and the broad principles of the whole science of government, is it not reasonable to suppose that opposition will result, and that the evil passions and prejudices of men will be aroused, parties full of bitterness and resentment will spring up, hostile positions will be taken, divisions of sen timent will be everywhere felt, and very soon the harmony of sentiment and feeling necessary toa perpetuity of the genius of our Government is destroyed, and we are visited with all the sad consequences of bitter fends, loading to a disruption of the Government and, finally, to eivU war ? This crusade is waged against the constitutional rights of the other section or party, and by a contlodal agitation of the offensive point at issue is rendered bitter in tbe ex treme, and attended with alt the sad consequences by: whieh wo are now sumranded. Is it the desire of the constituents of Mr. Stivers that' he should continue fhe sgitation of this endless, eternal Negro. question ? A course which can never restore the Union as it was, for It only renders tbe feeling of hatred more intense, and actually gives color to ibe only argu ment whieh the rebel leaders can. use to effectually con castrate the whole South against tho authority of the Government. It wjdens the breaeb, intensifies the &ud, ond fixes the venom of hatred and revenge, so that it can not for'-agea b>e eradicated. ■ . r IsStxvzsi sent; to Congress, for the purpose of keeping op the agitation of this veked question, and consequently keeping op the cause of the rebellion,—keeping up the dif ficulties which must prevent a settlement of onr National troubles.—keeping up the war by defeating every measure that will end It, anddestroying every eentimept and prin ciple which opposes Abolition feelings and runs conn ter to bis emancipation schemes? - > If mischief and this accursed agitation are the prevail ing sentiments of the people of this countyr-andl cannot. beUev r e they?are-tbem age we property .represented in Congress.

Whittier, copied from the Anti-Slavery Standard. It Is' positively blasphemous! Apart from this wo have our uniat word of warmest commendation tor this number of the favorite “ Littell.” The fifth and six!h volumes of the beautiful. Household Edition of Lockhart’s famous “ Life of Sir Walter Scott/* are now published from the press of Messrs. Tlcknor A Fields. Boston. Ibis really superb edition of this most charming biography cannot fail to attract the attention of book lovers. The essentials of neatness; compactness, economy and beauty are combined In its several volumes having a weight and solidity about them which if not suggestive of London at least satisfy the reader that nothing more satisfactory could be desired.— The two present TOlnmes cover a moat interesting period of Booti’H life, from 1817 to 1823. They carry the reader through the publication of Harold the Dauntless, Rob Roy,, Mid Lothian, Irmhoe. the Monastery, the Abbot, KeniL* worth, Halidon Hill, Peveril of the Peak, Quentin Dur ward and Bt, Ronan’s Hill. The great author was in the very zenith of hie power and popularity. One of the moat interesting snort tales we have recently read is the little story by Wilkie Collins, “The Stolen Mask,” just published in a twenty five cent pamphlet by Messrs. T. B Peterson & Brothers, pf this city. Many readers will remember the incident of a poor sculptor who stole the co*t of a bust of Shakspeare, and after long years of secret reverence of his prise, and innumerable difficul ties which it got him into, at last turned it to profitable account by manufacturing othor bostaTrom it- Out of thiß incident Mr. Collins baa woven a fascinating little story, told in bis usual.graphie stylo, culminating to the close. In uniform stylo, and at the same price, the Messrs. Peterson also publish Mr. G. Augustus Sale’s new story, “ The Two Prlma Donnas.” Mr. Sals Is another powerful writer, few modern fictions having been more widely read than his Seven Sons of Mammon, while his editorial charge of the Temple Bar Magazine has elevated that peri odical to the very front rank of magazine fame. The Two Prime Donnas is a fine story and boars about the same relationship to Bala’s larger works as Dickens’ Christmas Stories to Bleak House or David Ccpperfield. , / On Saturday next Messrs. Peterson wHI publish a' new novel, Love’s Labor Won, by Mrs. Southworth, neatly bound in scarlet cloth; also Grey’s now novel of The Flirt. Bulwer’s admirable series of essays, Castonians, or Life, Literature aDd Manners, is continued in the new number,' fo*-JL.prll, of “Blackwocd’s Magazine.” Ttreso polished and finished papers are among the most delightful contribu tions yet given to literature by their distinguished author. In the same number of “Maga” Chas.

Thero are a half a dozen other articles, stories and sketches, all maintaining the high character of this savan among the periodicals.

H. THE CONTRAST. Many of oar Pennsylvania volunteers have been disabled by wounds and debilitating fevers. Not being any longer efficient in the ranks, they receive an honorable discharge and transportation to the capital of Penn sylvania. They arrive in our midst without a cent in their pockets. They ask for their pay—they learn there is no officer here au thorized to pay them ! They ask for rations to protect them . from starvation—they are answered that there is no authority to issue rations to them 1 They ask for transporta tion to their homes—they are informed the United States Quartermaster cannot give them transportation 1 They beg their bread of our citizens; they beg their transportation of railroad companies. The patriots of Penn sylvania who volunteered to fight the battles of tbe Constitution and tbe Union against rebellion, who have been mutilated, or who have lost thejr health in the eervice of the Government, return to their homes as pau pers, depending upon publio charity to save them from pinching want, while the prompt -payment of their dearly earned wages would help them ohward to cherished homes and the consoling care of sympathizing friends. Who is to blame for this heartless desertion of our brave invalid volunteers? Has our Republican Congress done its duty in this important matter? While it authorized the discharge of sick and wounded soldiers by army Surgeons, did it make provision for their immediate pay, for transportation to their homes, for pensions, in reward' of their pa triotic services? Alas, do! they unfortunately are white men l Now mark the contrast. All the runaway negroes that find their way into tbe District of Columbia are : fed at the ex pense of the white tax payers of the North; all the runaway negroes that hang about our armies in the field are furnished rations and live at the cost of the tax-payers of the North, At least one hundred thousand dollars per day of the peopled money is thus expended to feed thousands of idle negroes, while the sick and wounded white volunteers of Penn sylvania are left to beg their way back to their desolate homes I We have in no wise exaggerated here the forlorn condition of our returning discharged volunteers, whose sufferings are daily wit nessed and alleviated by our citizens,, and whose nnmerons and frequent applications for relief to the Governor cf Pennsylvania and to the Mayor of this city are as notorious as they are disgraceful to the authorities who neglect to fulfil the most imperative bbliga tions of the country to her brave defenders.— Patriot & Union. AN EPITAPH. Mr. Cox, of Ohio, concluded his speech of June 6th with the folloewing; Weary in watching its mad designs of rev olution—and its crazy crotchets of black free dom—and for the self-preservation of my native State and the North from the black immigration with which it is threatened, I shall go to my home and ask the ballot to speak its denunciation. A few months and that expression will be had. Oq it depends the fate of tbe Republic. ‘My belief ir, that the people will write the epitaph of this Con gress, nearly as Gladstone wrote that of the Coalition ministry during the Crimean war: Here lies the ashes of the XXXVII CoDgres 1 It found the United States in a war of gigBntio proportions, involving its very existence; - It was content to wield the sceptre of Power And accept the emoluments of office, and use them to overthrow the political and social system of the country, which it was sworn to proteot. It saw tho fate of thirty-four white commonwealths ill peril; but it babbled of the NEGROI It saw patriotic generals and soldiers in the” .field, under the old flag; It slandered the one, and in the absence of the other, it destroyed his means of labor. ; : - It talked of Liberty to the black, and . piled burdens of taxation on white people \ for schemes utopiahi ? n- ; : The people launched at it the thunderbolt of their wrath; .
