Lancaster, August 26,1862. TBE WAR NEWS. There has been severe skirmishing for Beveral days past along the line of the Rappa hannook, between the armies of Gen. Pope and the rebels, bat nothing definite can be obtained owing to the embargo laid upon the telegraph by the Government. Several attempts of the rebels to cross the river were repulsed by our troops, but no particulars are given. Among the killed on our side was Brigadier General Bohlen, a brave and mer itorious German officer. A rebel brigade was captured by General Sigel, on the 2lßt inst. An important and decisive battle must take place very soon, (if it has not already,) as the two armies are close to eaoh other. We have not learned whether McClellan and Bern sids have yet formed a junction with Pope. \ A day or two more will probably bring ob startling news. PROMOTED Oar former townsman, Commander C. H. Poor, has been promoted to a Captaincy in the U. S. Navy, and expects to be ordered to sea in a short time. We congratulate the Captain on his promotion. He is a gallant and expe rienced officer, and will nobly do his duty in whatever position he may be placed. UNTRUE, The statement which has been going the rounds of the Republican papers to the effect that ex-President Buchanan intended leaving Wheatland and taking up his residence near Downingtown, in Chester county, is without any foundation in fact. Mr. Buchanan never had the remotest idea of leaving the quiet and beautiful shades of Wheatland. This last, however, is like the thousand and one other stories started in reference to our distinguished fellow-citizen. COL. RICHARDSON’S SPEECH See first page for another strong and char acteristic) speech from this gentleman. It is soundly democratic and patriotic throughout, and will be perused with interest by all our readers. GENERAL CORCORAN. This brave and gallant officer—the com- mander of thn 69th New York Regiment—who was captured at Bull Run more than a year ago, has at length been exchanged, and is now at his home in New York, having met with the most enthusiastic receptions in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia. The President has very properly commissioned him a Briga dier General ofYolunteers, and he will shortly resume his duty in the field. We have no doubt that he will pay the rebels back, with interest, for his loDg eaptivity. is estimated by the anthorities at Harrisburg, we understand, that the quota of each county or district, to make up Pennsyl vania's quota of 600,000 men, will be 1 out of every 15 of the population. This would make Lancaster county’s quota about 7500—less the number (5,000) who have volunteered. The quota of this oity, on the above basis, would be about 1200—less the number who have volunteered, and so of the various boroughs -and townships. COUNTY COUBIITTBE fiXBBTIKG. The Demooratio. County Committee, is re quested to meet in this city, at Shober’s Hotel on Thursday, September 4tb, at 11 o’olockj A. M. The Chairman, Mr. Tshudy, desires . a fall attendance of the members, as .business Ofimportanoe will claim the Committee’s con sideration. INDIAN.SI ASS AC BBS# The Sioux Indians, in Minnesota, have be- ; oome hostile and are committing murders and - devastations along the Minnesota river.

Let the public burthens be equalised, and then no one- will have any canseof complaint.. The order 6f the War Department if carried but in its letter and spirit, will dtr the thing equitably and fairly. It contemplates that a credit shall be given to'every city, borongh and township for the '.number of soldiers already sent to'the field. Those districts which have furnished their full quota will escape the-draft altogether—whilst those which have not will have to make up for past delinquencies. . We hope the Deputy Marshal and hie Assistants will see to it that every dietriot gets full credit for the men already in the army. ' HON- EDGAR COWAN. . This gentleman, as we learn from the Greensbnrg Republican, addressed a very large assemblage of his fellow-oitizens, in that Borough, on Monday week, on the sub ject of the war. The editor says: “ Mr. Cowan's resJarks did not partake of a par tizan oharaoter, bnt were purely patriotio.— [How different from the party slang nt'tered by Fobnet and McMichael, in this oity, at the late war meeting!] He presented in strong and vivid language, the necessity for men of all parties to rally around the Gov ernment and give it an honest, cordial sup port. [Just as the Democrats of the North are now doing.] And he appealed to the patriotism of the people, in the most earnest, eloquent, and feeling terms, beseeohing them not to desert their country in this her hour of trouble.” [The Democrats will not desert their country—no, never .] Mr. Cowan is a true patriot and statesman, and if the halls of Congress had been filled with such men instead of the Wiluots, Wades, Wilsons, Loyejoys, Grows and Ste venses who, by their violence, have widened the breach between the North and the South, President Lincoln would, long ere this, have been able to bring this terrible civil war in which the nation is involved to a triumphant and satisfactory close. But this is the same pure-minded and honest-hearted Senator who was refused an endorsement by the late Re publican State Convention 1 Comment on such conduct is unnecessary. RELEASED FROM PRISON. Messrs. Barrett, MacDowell, Forster and Joneb, proprietors and editors of the Patriot & Union , who were arrested on the 6th inst., and taken to Washington oity under a mili tary escort, and there imprisoned for sixteen days, were released on Friday last, no aoouser appearing against them, and no charge being produced. They reached their homeß at Harrisburg on Saturday evening. They were met at the depot by an immense' orowd of their fellow-citizens, who escorted them to their residences, and the side-walks were lined with ladies and gentlemen, waving their handkerchiefs and oheering them as they passed along. The vast concourse of oitizens was addressed by Col. MacDowell and Mr. Barrett. Speaking of the enthusiastic reception these gentlemen met with, the Patriot & Union of yesterday says: “There was a significance in this demon stration which cannot he misunderstood. The sturdy laboring man, the honest German, the warm hearted Irishman, and, in fact, all classes of the community, turned out, not only to show their devotion to their party and tbeir party friends, but to Bhow to the world their utter condemnation of a power which assumes the right of dragging men from their homes on the mere information gr instigation of ir responsible parties, and denying them tbe right of a trial by jury, or the inestimable benefits of the writ of habeas corpus , which has never been suspended for four centuries in monarchical England.” BRIGADIER GENERAL STONE RE- LEASED. It is announced that Brigadier General Charles P. Stone, who has been long confined in Fort Lafayette, on the heinous charge of treason, has been released, and is now with his familly in New York. As the Govern ment has liberated him without a trial, it is to be presumed that he is innocent. But if so, what reparation will be made for his long imprisonment, and for the stain which has been cast upon his reputation by the mere suspicion of treachery to the Government? It is a cruel thing to deprive an innocent man of his liberty, and publicly accuse him of an infamous crime. The misoreants who, with slander’s poisoned tongue, insinuate the base charges which lead to suoh arrests as these, should be severely punished. No man’s liberty or good name should'be at the mercy of the slanderer. GREAT DEMONSTRATION. An immense and enthusiastic mass meeting of the Democracy and other loyal men of Philadelphia, washeld in Independence Square on Saturday evening. The Sunday Mercury estimates the number of persons present at 30,000. Hon. Peter McCall (formerly an old line Whig) presided, assisted by an im mense number of Vice Presidents and Secre taries—every ward in the Oity being repre sented. Addresses were delivered by the President, and by Hon. Francis W. Hughes, Hon. Wh. H. Witte, Charles Ingersoll, Esq., Joseph Clay, Esq., John Bell Robin son, Esq. and others. The resolutions, were reported by Mr. Hughes, and are strong, pointed, loyal and appropriate to the timee, and were adopted by acclamation. A CAMPAIGN PAPER. A. D. Boileau, at 108 J South Third Street, Philadelnhia, has commenced the publication of a semi-weekly campaign paper, called the Democratic Leader, at the low-price of twenty five oents till the eleotion. The paper is reoommended to the support of the' public by the Chairman of the Demooratio State Central Committee, F. W. Hughes, Esq., and. will doubtless do good servioe in the political oampaign upon which we have entered. NORTH CABOhISA KAiKCTION. The ultra Seoesßion nominee for Governor has been defeated in North Carolina by a majority of some 40,000 votes, and the friends of the successful candidate have elected nearly all the members of the Legislature. Thiß is called in some quarters a Union triumph, and perhaps it is so; but we would have a little more confidence in the truth of the deelara tion, if the Governor , elect was not at the present time a Colonel in *the : rebel service 1 We don’t understand such Unionism as that. Kentucky.— Gov. Magoffin has resigned the office of Governor of ,Kentucky, and James P. Robinson, President of the Senate, becomes Governor for the remainder of Magoffin’s term.

Unlike Liberia, it is on a great line of travel, it is a highway. The country is a very excellent one for any and with great natural resources andadvantages,‘and especi ally because ofthe similarity of climate with your native land, thus being suited to your physical condition. The particular place I have in view is to be a great highway from the Atlantic or Caribbean sea to the Pacific Ooean. And this particular place has all the advantages of a colony.” The great advan tages offered in that country to a colony of oolored people, and the privileges they would enjoy there were enlarged upon by the Presi dent. “ The practical thing I want to ascer tain is whether I oan get a number of able bodied men, with their wives and children, who are willing to go when I present evidence of enoouragement and protection. Could I get a number of tolerably intelligent men, with their wives and their children, and cut their own fodder, so to speak. Can I have 50 ? If I oould find 25 able-bodied, with a mixture of women and children—good things in the family relation—l think I could make a successful commencement. I want you to let me know whether this can be done or not.” The ohairman of the delegation briefly replied that they would hold a consultation, and in a Bhort time give an answer. The President said—“ Take your full time—no hurry at all.” The delegation then withdrew. - We have given above the principal points of the Presi dent’s address, not having room for the report at length. CROP PROSPECTS In the largest portion of the Northern States, the staple crop is grass, both for grazing and hay, and it haß proved a large one, except in Northern New York and a small portion of Vermont and New Hamp shire, in some localities of which it is almost an entire failure. For instance, in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties, New York, where a drought has prevailed to an extent beyond a precedent in a region that has been before afflicted in some way. In that region all other crops have suffered as grass. In West ern New York, and other wheat growing regions of the Eastern States, there is already Bafely harvested a great crop of wheat.— Where rye is mostly grown, the crop is excellent. Oats as a general thing will be light in the grain, though heavy in the straw, in oonsequence of injury from the grain aphis. Potatoes, as a general thing, are most promising, both in yield and quality. There is some little show of potato rot. Fruit never bid fairer, in almost all the States, though injured in Borne localities of the Eastern States by the caterpillar. On the whole, there will be a magnificent crop of frujt. Indian corn at the West never gave greater promise than it does now. It is quite the reverse in the Eastern States. In some sections, the crop most inevitably be a light one, both in fodder and grass. W/Jen oorn fails, buckwheat al ways succeeds. There is also a large crop of beans growing, and the season is very favor able for roots. “ A DECENT WHITE MAN AS GOOD AS A NIGGER.” General Jim Lane, of Kansas, is enrolling negroes in that State for the war. So is Governor Andrew, of Massachusetts. In a speech recently delivered at Leavenworth, Lane said : [We quote from tbe Express of Friday evening, and, of course, it cannot bo treasonable in us to follow that patriotic ex ample.] 1, 1 have always believed that a decent white man was as good as any nigger. And the negroes are mistaken if they think white men can fight for them while they stay at home. We have opened the pathway. We don’t threaten, but we have- been saying that you would fight, and if you won’t fight we will make you. Government has at last deter mined to turn the tiger loose; Gen. Halleck and every other general has so determined. I have always believed that within ninety days after we began to make war in earnest, the rebel armies would be dispersed. Terrible, devastating war is now to be prosecuted by the Union arms. No more watching rebel pro perty, no more restoring rebel slaves, ho more white men dying in trenches. Negroes are acclimated ; they can work beneath a tropical sun. When a white man goes into a rice swamp he covers himself with broad-brimmed hats ; then he takes parasols, then umbrellas. Start a negro in with forty hats, and he will have them all off, and leave that wool that God has placed there for his protection; Go into the Niggerhominy, where thousands of our men perished in the trenches. Don’t you think you could have overcome your love for the negro sufficiently to have allowed them to go there and work half the time ? At Phila delphia the other day I heard a gentleman say: ‘lt is horrible to let the negroes go in.’ I said to him: ‘You want to crush the rebellion; would you he willing to have a mule with steel-pointed shoes kick a rebel to death, and yet not be willing to have him shot by a nig ger V Why, I would rather be shot to death twice by a nigger than kicked to death once by a mule.” NEGROES IN MASSACHUSETTS. The Attorney General of Massachusetts has deeided that it is legal and pro per to enrol negroes in the militia of that State. The fol lowing is the concluding paragraph of his published opinion: - “The authorities of Massachusetts have no more right to diminish its quota of troops by Tefiising to enrol black men, than they would have to reduce the age at whioh the obligation of military service terminates, forty five to forty years. The only possible question now open, is whether colored men are citizens of Massachusetts, which, no one, I presume, will have the hardihood to deny, inasmuch as they are tax-payers, voters, jurors, and eligible to office, and there is no inequality,founded upon, distinctions of races knbwn to our laws.” THE CONSTITUTIONAL UNION.

But now both water .and men con cur. You have five hundred Africans organ ized into companies. You write me this work they are fitted to do, It must either be done by them or by soldiers, now drilled and dis ciplined, You have said the location is un healthy to the soldiers—it is not to the negro. Is it not best that tbeßd unemployed Africans should do this labor? My attention is especially called to this matter at the present time, because there are reports of demonstra tions to be made on your lines by the rebels; and, in my judgment, it is a matter of neces sary precaution thus to clear the right ofyour line, so that you can receive the proper aid from the gunboats on the lake, besides pre venting the enemy from having cover. To do this the negroes ought to be employed, andin so employing them I see no evidence of slave driving or employing you as a slave driver. The soldiers of the army of the Potomao did this very thing last-summer in front of Arling ton Heights. Are the negroes any better than they ? Because of an order to do thiß neces sary thing, to protect your front, threatened by the enemy, you tender your resignation and ask immediate leave of absence. I assure you I did not expect this, either from your courage, your patriotism or your good sense. To resign in face of an enemy has not been the highest plaudit to a soldier, especially when the reason assigned is that he is ordered to do that which a recent aot of Congress has specially authorized a commander to do— i. e. t employ the African to do the necessary work about a camp or upon a fortification. General, your resignation will nob be accepted by me; leave of absence will not be granted, and you will see to it, that my orders, thus necessary for the defence of the city, are faithfully and diligently executed, upon the responsibility that a soldier in the field owes to his superior. I will see that all proper requisitions for the food, shelter and olothing of these negroes at work are at once filled by the proper depart ment. You will also send out a proper guard to protect the laborers against the guerilla force, if any there may be in the neighbor hood. BENJAMIN F. BUTLER, Major General Commanding. WORDS OF WISDOM, It is well for us occasionally to consult the writings and warnings of the patriot states men of other days. Since the time of General Washington, perhaps no man has oocupied so large a space in the public eye as General Andrew Jackson. The Farewell Address of the old Hero of the Hermitage, upon retiring from the Presidency in 1837, is fraught with wisdom and prophetio warning. Look at the following extract: “ But amid this general prosperity and splendid sacoess, the dangers of whioh he [Washington] warned os are beooming every day more evident, and the signs of evil are sufficiently apparent to awaken the deepest anxiety in the bosom of the patriot. We behold systomatio.efforts publioly made, to sow the seeds of discord between different parts of the United States, and to place party divisions di rectly upon geographical distinctions; to excite the South against the North, and the North against the South, and to foroe into the controversy the most delioate-and exciting topics—topics upon whioh it is impossible that a large portion of the Union oan ever speak without strong emotion. Appeals, too, are constantly made to seotional interests, in order to influence the eleotion of the Chief Magistrate, as if it were desired that he should favor a particular quarter of the country, instead of fulfilling the duties of his station with impartial justice to all, ; and the possible dissolution of the Union has at length become an ordinary and familiar subjeot of discussion V Has the warning voioe of Washington been forgotten ? or have designs already been form ed to sever the Union ? Lee it not be supposed that 1 impute to all of those who have taken an aotive part in these unwise and unprofitable discussions, a want of patriotism or of public virtue. The honor able-feeling of State pride, and local attachments, find a place in the bosoms of the most enlightened and pnro. But while snob men are conscious of their own integrity and honesty of purpose, they ought never to forget that the oitizens of other States are their political brethren; and that, however mis taken they may be in their views, the great body of them are equally honest and upright with them selves. Mutual suspicions and reproaches may in mutual hostility, and artful and design ing men will always be fonnd, who are ready to foment these fatal divisions, and to inflame the natural jealousies of different sections of the country. The history of the world is full of such examples, and especially the history of republics. “ What have you to gain by division an’d dissen sion ? Delude not yourselves with the belief that a breaoh once made may be afterwards repaired. If the Union is once severed, the line of separation will grow wider and wider, and the controversies which are now debated and settled in the halls of .legisla tion, will then be tried in fields of battle; and de termined by the sword. Neither should you deceive yoarselves with the hope, that the first line of separation would be a permanent one, and that nothing but harmony and concord would be found in the new associations formed upon the dis solution of this Union. Local interests would still be found there, and unohastened ambition. And if the recollection of common dangers, in which the people of these United States stood side by side against the common foe; the memory of victories won. by their united valor; the prosperity and hap piness they have enjoyed under the present Consti tution; the proud name they bear as citizens of this great republio; if all these recollections and E roofs of common interest are not strong enough to ind us together as one people, what tie will hold united the new divisions of empire, when these bonds have been broken and this Union dissevered ? The first line of separation would not last for a single generation; new fragments would be torn off; new leaders would spring np; and this great and gloriouß republio would soon be broken into a multitude of petty States, without 'commerce, without oredit; jealous of one another; armed for mutual aggression; loaded with taxes to pay armies and loaders; seeking aid against each other from foreign powers; insulted and trampled upon by the nations of Europe, until harr&ssed with confliots, and humbled and debased in spirit they would be ready to submit to the abso lute dominion of any military adventurer, and to surrender their liberty for the sake of repose. It is impossible to look on the consequences that would inevitably follow the destruction of this government, and not feel indignant when we hear cold .calcula tions. about the value of the Union, and have so constantly before us a line of conduot so well calcu lated to weaken its ties.” EDITORS’ BOOK TABLE, PETERSON’S LAMES’ NATIONAL MAGAZINE, for September,- is one of the most attractive numbers vet issued by that enterprising Publisher.

REPpRT OF THE GRAND JURY. To the Honorable tb“ Judgeß of the Court of Quarter Ses sions of the Peace in and for the County of Lancaster: The grand inquest of the county respectfully report:— That they have acted upon all the Indictments presented by the Prosecuting Attorney. The cases that passed under their supervision were, with few exceptions, generally of a minor grade—principally violations or the license law, and numerous cases of assault and battery, which latter natur- ' ally entail a large expense upon the connty, and might, in the opinion of the Grand Jury, in many cases, be sup pressed. were proper vigilauce exercised by the.magistrates. Tho Court, to its charge, has adverted to the law recently enacted by our Legislature, by which “persons who shall with the intent to oppose, prevent, or subvert the Govern ment of this State, or of the United States, endeavor to persuade any person or persons from entering the service of the United States; or frem Joining any volunteer com pany or association, already organized nnder the laws of this Commonwealth for that purpose, every person so of fending and being legally convicted thereof, is declared to he guilty of a high misdemeanor.” The Grand Jury are happy to have it in their power to state, that in the process of their investigation, no act has transpired eliciting the information of persons to whom this charge could be legally ascribed; and it is to be hoped that ths palrlotic spirit exhibited by this county in fur .nisbing .her quota of troops for the army, with so much alacrity, will tend to suppress and frown down any senti ments inimical to the Government, if such have heretofore , existed in our county. And we also trust that the liberal bounty appropriated by the Commissioners, for raising an additional Regiment, will place Lancaster county in such a position as will obviate the necessity of a draft upon her citizens. The jury visited the Connty Jail, and And the same, as far as the brief time afforded them an opportunity of Judg ing, in good order trad cleanliness, denoting good manage ment. They also visited the Poor House, and found the inmates at their dinner, and were pleased to see that they had 1 good, substantial food, such as few could find objections to. The Interior of the building is in good order, the rooms clean and well ventilated. Our attention was drawn to the out buildings In close proximity to the bake-house; the effluvia from the former was- exceedingly offensive. The Grand Jury recommend to the Directors of the Poor to have a sewer attached to the same, a hydrant being but a few feet distant, from which the water conid be conduct ed to wash away the filth os fast as it could accumulate, and which the foul malaria from affecting tho Inmates of the Institution. The Hospital they also fonnd well kept; each department Is in fine order, so far as the bnildlog wjll permit. The colls of the insane lack sadly In point of ventilation: In warm weather they must be very oppressive. The comfort of the inmates, however, so far as in the power of Mr. Hess, appears to be duly attended to. f The attention of the Grand Jury was also draws here to defects that in a certain degree affect both institutions, and they were requested'fo recommend to the Directors to make the fallowing change In Regard to the lunatics in the almßhouse and hospital, vis: there being a large number of healthy colored persons, adults and children, permitted to orcupy the hospital, thereby depriving many old and infirm persons from receiving the benefits of that institu tion, who have to be kept io the almshouse for want of room la'the hospital, we therefore recommend that all those now In the almshouse'\requiring the benefits of the hospital be'transferred to that Institution, and the class of persons above referred to be removed to the almshouse. : —The Grand Jury, in closing their report, return thanks f o the Conrt, the District Attorney and Sheriff for courtesy extended to them.

' <-■' The Comet. —A cometis now visible, dar ing the part of theulght, in the Northern heavens near the Polar Starlit is said to be approaching the earth at the- rate of two and a half millions of miles dallv Pretty fast traveling, th»tt ;= ARCHBISHOP HUGHES.' The New York papers : of Monday contain a eermon from this distingaishedpre late, preached by him on the Sunday previous. Much importance is attached to this discourse on many accounts. He has just returned from Europe, after eight, or ten; months’ ab sence, and his position gave him great oppor tunities of ascertaining the drift of public opinion concerning our civil war. The Bishop declares that he found i the influential and governing class generally 'against the North; not that they had any sympathy for the rebels, bat because they wished to Bee this govern ment permanently broken up. In his opinion the only course left for our side is to fight it out, and that as; soon as possible. The follow ing is the conclusion of. the ; sermon : I do not know what may happen in oase this war should continue aa it has been continuing since I left this country. Ihe news renders all attempts at judging fairly impossible, because it is contradictory and confused. It is difficult for one, even acquainted with the country, to comprehend how the land lies. Much more is it so with those who are not acquainted •with it. Nor is it in any one’s power to say with absolute certainty what may happen if this war con tinues. And in the meantime, what is the prospect of its coming to an end ? Ido not see any prospect. There does not appear to be an issue, and it may be that God, for some design of his own, which fature generations can appreciate, has allowed this war to scourge us, in order to bring future benefits to the human race. There are.things that no man can pre tend to fathom—questions that depend on so many additional olroumßtances for their But there is one thing and one question that should be dear to every mind. It is this—that if a war of this kind should be continued for many years, it is recognized as being allowable for other nations to combine in their strength and put an end to it with as little delay as possible. It is not a scourge that has visited qs alone. From the beginning of the world wars have been —nation against nation—and oftentimes the most terrible of all wars, which is not a war of nation against nation, but of brother against brother. How long is this to go oh ? If it goes on, what is to-be the result of it, as affording a pretext for all the Powers of Europe to combine to put an end to it? And although I would not say that even then they, should not be permitted x to ini terfere, when they interfered through benevolence, and above all, when the sword might be put at rest, but I do say to every man, if they do interfere, and if they interfere successfully—if the country and the Government are not mAintaiheAby every sacri fice that is necessary to maintain them, then your United States will become a Poland—then it will be come divided—then the strife will multiply across every border; every Stateor every section will claim to be independent, to make itself an easy prey for those who will turn and appropriate the divisions of the people of this country for their own advantage. Oh! let it not be so. I know little of what has transpired here during my absence. I have had scarcely time to look at the papers since I returned. But much has been done, though not muoh has been realized towards terminating this unfortunate war. Volunteers have been appealed to in advance of the draft, as I understand, but for my own part, if I had a voice in the counoils of the oountry, I would say, let volunteering continue ; if the three hundred thousand on your list be not enough this week, next week make a draft of three hundred thousand more. Itis notoruel, this. This is mercy; this is humanity. Anything that will pat an end to this drenching with blood the whole surface of the country-~that will be humanity. Then, every man on the conti nent, rich or poor, will have to take his share in the contest. Then it willnot be left to the Government, whatever Government it will be, to plead with the people and oall on them, to come forward, and ask them if they would be drafted. No, it is for them, the people, to rise and ask the Government to draft them; and those who are wealthy .and cannot go themselves, oan provide substitutes and bring the thing to a dose, if it oan be done. No doubt the same efforts will be made on the other side—and who can blame them ? For the sake of humanity we must resort to some course of this kind. In the meanwhile, beloved brethren,.it is enough for us to weep for this calamity, to pray God that it may be put to an end, to make sacrifice of everything that we have to sustain the independence, the unity, the perpetuity, the prosperity of the only Government we acknowledge in the world. But it is- not neoessary to hate our enemies. It is not necessary to be oruel in battle, or to be oruel after its termination. It is neoessary to be true, to be patriotic, to do for tbe oountry what the country needs, and the blessing of God will recompense those who discharge their duty without faltering and without violating any of the laws of God or man. A TREASONABLE CONCLAVE, On Tuesday last, the Commonwealth of Massa chusetts was again desecrated by an Abolition con clave of the most ultra oharaeter. In pursuance to a public call, a large gathering of the representa* tives of that peonliar class was held at Island Grove, near Boston, and addresses of a most virulent and treasonable description were delivered by Wendell Phillips, JP. Conway and others. The speakers vied with each other in their denunciations of the Presi dent, their abase of Gen. MoOlellan, and in their fonl comments and criticisms upon the manner in which the war is conducted. Epithets whioh even Southern journalists, with all their vindictiveness and blaokguardism, would hesitate to apply to the Executive and his Generals, were hurled without hesitation upon them, while one of the orators even dared to urge the importanoe and necessity of Letting the South go, unless emancipation be proclaimed and enforced. A « moral coward,’.” a “ tortoise ” and a “ broom stick ” were among tho choice appellations applied to our Chief Magistrate, while no language tending to diminish theconfidenceof the people of the North in General MoClellan was spared in the strictures of these men upon the various movements of the Com mander of the Army of the Potomac. To .destroy confidence and to discourage enlist ments appeared to be the design of the meeting, but fortunately for the- cause, the State of Massachu setts is too loyal, too patriotic, to be swayed by the incendiary and treasonable harangues of such men as this Phillips and his disoiples. The above article is from the Philadelphia Inqitirer. Tho Secretary'of War baB ordered the arrest and confinement of many persons for expressions of disloyalty vastly less hein ous in their character than the fonl-monthed utterances of these miserable fanatics, and yet they are permitted without restraint or hindrance tc roam about the: country and disseminate their treason, nor does the Repub lican press as & general rule condemn their conduct. Why is this? Does the Adminis tration fear their power and influence?— Wendell Phillips and his associates have (with the.energy and perseverance character istic of those whose minds are permeated with a single idea to the exclusion of all else) been for long years most zealonßly engaged in fo menting discord and endeavoring to dissolve the Union, and had the people been.true to .themselyes and rebuked them as they de served, we should not now be involved in a civil war; for the conspirators of the South never could have succeeded in raising the banner of rebellion without the aid of their pernicious doctrines. South Carolina rejoiced whenever Massachusetts listened to, and ap plauded the wild rhapsodies and intemperate harangues of Phillips, Garrison, and their crazy brethren. Her politicians desired' no better fuel for the altar of hate' when they should be prepared to ; apply the torch, and doabtleßS Jefferson Davis and his mur derous gang will clap their hands in triumph when they receive intelHg^ oo © of this Island - Grove meeting by. the underground mail; oute, for they have no. more useful allies in. the North than the Constitution haters—the men who declare the sacred charter of our rights to baa ‘‘league with Hell and a-covenant with Death." Why these enemies of the Republic furnished with quarters in Fort; Warren or Lafajetfce ? Tbeir confinement would odd much to the strength of the Union cause. We have always advocated freedoni of speech and freedom of the press, hut the' licentiousness of neither.— Be~ publican ; V Pennsylvania l Regiments: Tuesday; the 12th inßfc, thefirst Pennsylvania Regiment under j&e call for 300,000 men, left Harrisburg; for: Washington.

Hoell, Samuel 0, Fessendan, Martin HntaMnsL?- owBn John . „ I'rompe man ifea{o of. these abolition dis disumomsts we out tho following: “Under the control of these rebels in arms are fora! millions of slaves—natives of the land —by whose unpaid toil the rebellion ie sus tained. ; The question, on what prinoiple oan the people break up this relation of servitude, established by State laws, and command the services' of these slaves for. the 'oothinon defenoe,’ may be answered as was the question in 1788 ; on what prinoiple could the people of nine States, by .ratifying the Constitution, break up the compact under the articles ofeon federatwn solemfdy entered into by thirteen . Here we have the broad and open declara tion of- Senators , of the United States and membprs of the Honse of Representatives, that, in order to carry oat their sectional idea of breaking up Blavery, they would “breakup the ootnpaot under the artiolee of confederation solemnly entered into by thirteen States.” Yes, they would set at naught all constitu tional) barriers, and , break down the- safe guards of liberty. We are glad to know that there are somo patriotic men in the Republi can party who discountenance these disunion sentiments. Here is tho language of Senator Tbohbull in condemnation of this abolition disunion sentiment: "We are fighting to maintain the Constitu tion, and it especially becomes us, in appealing to the people to come to its rescue, not to vio late it ourselves. How are wo better than the rebels if both alike set at naught the Consti tution ? * * ,* As wo oxpect to come out of this contest with our flag full and complete in all its proportions, not a stripe erased nor a star obscured, so lotus preserve the Consti tution, perfect in all its parts, with ail its guarantees for tho protection of life and liberty unimpaired, and the instrument itself rendered doubly dear from the faot that it has been: sacredly maintained and proven equal to every emergency, under circumstances the most trying to which a nition was ever sub jected.” These words are fitly spokon, and tho lesson they; teach should never be forgotten. It will be a sorry, day for this Republio when its people shall acquiesce in the total subversion of the Constitution. If the day should over oome when it shall be abolished altogether, tlmtjday life and property will be at the mercy of brute force, and the nation’s liberty will have become the sport of factions, '" The question arises, why is the name of Senator Wilmnt omitted on this abolition dis union address ? It is well known ho sympa thises with them in sentiment. Is it because he feared to go before the people in his fall campaign for United States Senator upon tho issue there made. Almost at the head of the list lof Representatives stands the name of Thaddeus Stevens, the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, who is the right-hand man of Wilmot. Thaddeus is the representative man of the Republican party in Congress from Pennsylvania. He enjoys the confidence of that party, or he would not be assigned to the first and leading place in the House by a Pennsylvania Speaker. It is therefore fair to beliove that Wilmot, Grow & Co. sympathize with Stevens and his address, because they have stood by and voted with him in all his iniquitios; while Senator Cowan has not failed to raise bis voioe against the actions of these men and for the Constitution, and]for this manly and hoDest course he has received the denunciations of the abolition disunion press, and the insult and rebuke of the f’no party” abolition-disunion Convention at IJarrishurg, whioh eulogized Wilmot. It is easily seen that there are two sections in tho party in this State opposed to the Democratic party. Cowan stands at the head of the con servative Republicans who give a warm and honest support to President Lincoln. Wilmot, Stevjens, and tbe “qo party”'Harrisburg Con ventjioDists aro the head and front of the abolition disunionists who are pressing upon President Lincoln all their wild and fanatical schemes with Buch fury, that he cries ont to the conservatives, “Help me, Cassius, or I sink !”—Doylestoym Democrat.
