There has been almost constant fighting in Virginia in the neighborhood of Manassas and Bull Bun, for a week past; but the great battle of the Beries, according to Gen. Pope’s offioial dispatch published in another column, ooourred on Friday last, when the enemy were driven from the field, leaving many of their dead an.d wounded behind. It must have been a very bloody engagement, as our loss is represented by the commanding Gen eral at not less than 8,000 men, and he esti' mates the rebel loss at double that number.— Both armies appear to have been reinforoed next day, and another severe engagement en sued. The advantage, according to the dis> patches, seemed to be with the rebels, and Popit fell baok to Centreville. On Sunday, nothing of importance occurred, but it was supposed that another great battle would be fought on yesterday, of whioh we had no ac oount at the time our paper went to press in the afternoon. It looks very mnoh as if the old Bull Bun battle field was to be the Waterloo of the oampaign. God grant that it may end the rebellion and restore the old Union. THE DELEGATE ELECTIONS. The Delegate Eleotionß will take place throughout the oounty on Saturday next, the 6th inst., and we hope our Democratic friends in every township, ward and borough will turn out and eleot their best men to represent them in County Convention. These are stirring and portentous times in the history of the oountry, and muoh, very muoh, for good or for evil to the Republic, will depend upon the result of the October eleotion in Pennsyl vania. And in order to start right in the oampaign in this'county, it is all-important that the people should attend the primary meetings of the party, and select agents who will fairly and fully reflect their sentiments in Convention. The times demand bold, deter mined aotion on the part of the Democracy every where—suoh action as will eventuate in the restoration of our beloved Union and the supremacy and perpetuity of our matchlesß Constitution. We want to see the ensuing County Convention take high and patriotic ground in favor of the Union and in defence of the rights of the people; but, to do this, the delegates who may be seleeted should be trne men, fearless and unflinching in the discharge of their duties, and not to be intimidated or deterred by the threats or bluster of the Abo lition demagogues who essay to play the tyrant over all those who will not follow their lead. We know the Demooraoy of Lancaster oounty are composed of sterner stuff than to tamely, submit to any infringement of their Constitutional rights, and therefore it is that we hope to see a Convention of free men, in every sense of the word, assemble in Fulton Hall, on the 10th inßt. ■ But to have such a Convention, it is neoessary for the people to attend the primary meetings on Saturday and elect men of the right stamp to represent them. TBS WAK IS KENTUCKY. A’ severe battle ooourred near Richmond, Ky., ohFriday last, whioh resulted in a heavy loss on both sides. Our forces, commanded by Gen. Nelson, were overpowered, and foreed to retreat to Lexington. -Gen. Nelson was wounded. Mss. Imwuf# Brother Killed. —The' rebelaccount-ufgie battle of Baton Bonge, announoes the death of Col. Alex. H. Todd, a brother of .Mrs. Lincoln. He was onßrig.- Gett;Hehu’sstaff,in thp Rebel army, and was lo^ijiykiUed. The drafting will commence on the Isth of September, the time having been extended to that day. in making the draft, it is stated that an arrangement has been effeoted by whioh each county, city, borough and township will be credited with the number of men hj&eady furnished, so th*t\the proportions of each will beeqnalized. The justice and good polioy of this arrangement cannot be ques tioned. Some counties and sections hare, already been pretty well drained of their able-bodied young njdh-by voluntary enlist ment, whilst others have done comparatively nothing—so that, if a general draft was made, it wonld operate hardly on those districts whioh have already contributed more than their full proportion. The plan proposed will obviate the difficulty, and compel all to chare alike in the necessary burdens and hardship? of the war. A draft in this county is now certain, from the fact that the effort to raise another regi ment of volunteers has proven a failure, and Col. Boar has given .up the idea. The mili tary enthusiasm seems to have died out, in a great measnre, within the last two or three weeks. The oanse of this apathy is apparent to all. Of officers, or would-be officers, there is a super-abundance—many of whom never had a musket in their hands, and scarcely know the difference between a shot gun and a rifle; bnt the privates are wanting, and, without these, offioers are of no account. Volunteering or enlisting to fill up the old regiments is still going on in this city, and we are pleased to know that the reoruiting officers meet with tolerable suooesß. The whole number of men now in tbe field, or at the recruiting stations, from Lanoaster county, oanDot, we think, fall mnch short of six thousand. This speaks w ell for the patriotism of the Old Guard. If every other county in the State had dons nearly as well there would not now be any necessity for a draft in Penn sylvania. EDITORS LOOKING! OF I Barb, the fearless and talented editor of the Pittsburg Post, is destined to be the next Sur veyor General of the State ; and that glorious fellow, Col. Alexander, of the Clarion Dem ocrat, and that other good fellow, John A. Magee, of the Perry Democrat, are the unan imous ohoice of the Demooracy of their res pective counties for the Assembly, and both will be elected beyond a doubt—the first by majority. We take it for granted that our old friends, Col. Tate, of the Bloomsburg Democrat, and Niehan, of the Easton Sentinel, who so nobly stood up for the right in the last Legislature, will be again returned as representatives from Columbia and Northampton counties ; and, if so, we can guarantee that the Commonwealth will suffer no detriment at their hands. There may be others of the corps editorial in the line of pro motion, bnt we cannot just think of them. If there are such, so much the better, as the destinies of Pennsylvania could not be en trusted to safer hands. SHALL IT BE DONE! ! The indications are that a draft may yet he avoided in this State, as the authorities at Harrisburg, it is said, are busily engaged in making arrangements for furnishing the State’s quota in voluutoors, if it can possibly be done. We trust they may be sueoesßful, as it would be much more creditable, in all res pects, to be able to furnish the men by volun tary enlistment. The Harrisburg Telegraph says that “Governor Curtin confidently expects to make arrangements to allow eaoh district in the State a reasonable time to furnish its quota of troops in volunteers, and thus obviate the draft entirely. As Boon as the enrolment is completed and returned, the quota of each county, township, precinct and borough will be ascertained, together with the credit each is entitled to for men in the Bervioe. Having ascertained the number of men to be drafted from each sub-division of counties, an oppor tunity and reasonable time will be given to furnish the quota in volunteers. The draft was postponed to the 15 th of September to afford ample time for the arrangements. It is expected that the qnota of each oounty and Bub-division can be ascertained by the 3d of September.” POLITICAL PKOSPECTS. The political intelligence from all parts of the Commonwealth is highly enoouraging. The Democratic masses are fully awake to their duty, and determined to persevere in its faithful discharge, despite all the base false hoods and misrepresentations of the Abolition press. From the State Convention on the Fourth of July, down to that in the remotest county, every meeting of the Democracy that has been held this year has been signally harmonious .and enthusiastic. The Opposi tion will find, to their sorrow, perhaps, that persecution of Democrats, instead of making them timid and cringing, has only had the effect of uniting them in a stronger devotion to their time-honored principles than ever.— The October eleotion will tell the tale in the Old Keystone State. NOT TRUE The story that waß published by the aboli tion papers throughout the oountry, that Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, had been ar rested, and that evidence of disloyalty had been found against him, is a fabrication with out the first shadow of truth. The Btory was started by the Republicans of Ohio, and was telegraphed by some anonymous operator for partisan purposes, and published by every Republican paper in the North. There was not even a pretext for starting this story ; it was a manufactured falsehood from the whole cloth, but yet the papers that gave it circula tion never contradicted the slander. Such despicable condnct no decent man would resort to. A GENERAL INDIAN WAR. The news from onr Western Territories is unfavorable, and fears are expressed that we are on the eve of an extensive war with the Indian tribes in that vast and sparsely settled region. It is believed that seoesßion influence has been at work in creating a feeling of hos tility against our Government in the minds of the ignorant savages of our weßtera plains.— The prospeot of an interruption of the over land route to California, has induced the Post Office Department to order the mails for the Pacific States to be sent by way of the Isthmus. DISCOURAGING ENLISTMENTS, The War Department announces that all attempts to procure substitutes in anticipation of the draft will be regarded as discouraging enlistments, and that the persons who do so, their aiders and abettors, are liable to be ar rested under the order of August Bth. Pub lishing advertisements for snoh persons, with the view of aiding their operations is hereaf ter to be regarded as rendering the publishers liable to suoh arrest. Bounties. —lt ia estimated that the bounty paid by the U. S. Government, with those paid by State Governments, counties, town corporations, etc., will swell the amount ex pended beyond the legitimate payment of soldiers’ wages and.outfit, in rawing volun teers under the President’s oall for three hun dred thousand men, ta fifty millions of doi lars. Some days ago HokACi.GEEEUT addressed, through the 2W6une, a most impudent and in sulting letter to the President, in whjqh Tie' charged Mm not .only with faithlessn666 to the party that elected him, hot also with want of fidelity to the ooontry inhfsoffioial capacity. Below wepublishthe President?* reply which, though brie£ will, we thinly prove quite satisfactory to every body bnt GREEixr and his pestilent Abolitionists. We do not think the President shonld have condescended to notice Greelkt in the public manner he has —it was, we are confident, in bad taste; bnt we are nevertheless thankfhl that, sinoe it has been done, we find nothing objectionable in the matter,:bnt, on the contrary, enough to satisfy us that the President has marked out a course for himself from which he oannoit easily be swerved by any "pressure” the Abo litionists can bring to bear on him. He has avowed himself, as far as the slavery question is concerned, an “unconditional” Union man, faithful to the Constitution, to whioh he looks as a guide; rather than to|Greeley & Co: Executive Mansion, I Washington, Angust 23,1862. j Mon. Horace Greeley: Dear Sir: I have just read yours of the 19th, addressed to myself, through the New York Tribune. If there be in it any statements or assump tions of fact which I may know to be errone ous, I da not now and here oontrovert them. If there be in it any inferences which I may believe to be falsely drawn, I do not now and here argue against them. If there be perceptible in it an impatient and dictatorial tone, I waive it in deferenee to an old friend whose heart I have always supposed to be right. As to the policy I “seem to be pursuing,” as yon say, I have not meant to leave any one indoubt. I would save the Uniop. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitu tion. The sooner the National authority oan be restored, the nearer the Union will he “the Union as it was.” If there he those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who wonld not save the Union unless they coaid at the game time destroy slavery, I do not agree witTi them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race I do because I believe it.helps to save this Union, and what I forbear, I forbear be cause I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and I shall adopt new views as soon as they shall appear to be true views. I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty ; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. Yours, (Signed) A. Lincoln. TREABOE. The New Haven Palladium, an influential Republican paper in CoDnectiout, says : “This is no longer a war to restore the Union as it was. It is a war to make the Union what it never was, but what it ought to be.” This talk is oertainly treasonable, and its effect iB to disoonrage enlistments. There are tens of thousands of brave and patriotic men ready to fight, and. die if need be, in the effort to restore the Union, who would not raise a finger in support of such a war as is above in dicated. Such men will be deterred from en listing by such representations as that above quoted. They want the assurance that they are to fight and suffer in the cause of the Union—the old Union—the Union as it was, and the Constitution as it is; while such talk as the above causes doubts and fears in their minds upon that essential point, and thus deters them from enlisting. Why then are not the men who write and publish Buch stuff, arrested and sent to Fort Warren ? We hear of Democratic editors in the West being thus dealt with, on the oharge of discouraging en listments ; but nothing they have said is so powerful in that direction as such talk as that above quoted. But this is said and published by leading Republicans, and therefore it is done with impunity. Republican and aboli tion traitors are a privileged sot; their crimes are soldom punished. A CHANGE OF SENTIMENT. The Buffalo Express, whioh has been a violent advocate of the negro-arming polioy, has recently changed its opinions and has become quite rational. If the conductors of other journals of the Republican party woro as candid as the editor of the Buffalo paper, we should soon have other confessions to pub lish. We oommend the following extraot from the Express to the serious consideration of those slow-plodding Abolitionists who have not yet got their eyes open : “ But in scanning this question in the light of fifteen months’ experience, an unlooked for feature presents itself. There is not that read iness on the part of the slave population to separate from their masters and their planta tions as was anticipated. The mass of the slaves, if they thirst for freedom, do not rush as hastily to the fountain when under the proclamations of our Government and our Generals it is offered, as was expected. Either through fear of oonsequences in the effort to escape or of not being well received when they enter our lines the number of fugitives is small, and escapes from bondage less frequent as the war progresses. “ It looks now, as if the while men of the North hereafter, would have not only to fight the master but his slaves.” Call Out the “ Widb-Awakes.”— I The N. Y. Sunday Times asks how it would do for the enrolling officers, under the new militia law, to carefully provide themselves with the names of all the members of the "Wide-Awake” dubs whioh were so numerous in that oity jußt previous to the late Presidential election? There were (said to be) thirty thousand young gentlemen attaohed to those clubs, and al though few of them, perhaps, were entitled to a vote, the majority of them were over eigh teen years of age and consequently liable to a draft. As they were very enthusiastic at the time, no doubt they would be delighted at an opportunity to turn that enthusiasm to patri otic aooount; and as they mnrobed and coun termarched in our streets with great effeot, there is no reason to suppose that they would be less effective on a field where actual fighting would be substituted for huzzaing and lantern waving. tSf The same thing might be done in this city, with a like good effeot.— Eds. Intel. ISf Hon. F. W. Hughes, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, a few days ago submitted the Address of the Com mittee published lately, to the judgment of Secretary Sewabd, desiring the opinion of that functionary as to its loyalty. Whilst we would not have recommended, suoh a course, (believing this to be a free country) yet we are glad to find that Mr. Seward has not dared to endorse the spirit of those villain ous sheets which have denounced the Ad dress as disloyal and treasonable. Mr. Sew abd thus endorses the patriotism of the Ad dress .- “I have read the documents thus submitted to me, with a high respeot for the authority, by whioh they were issued, and with a full confidence in the sincerity of the devotion to the Union, whioh, as their author, you have avowed.” Charlm Ingxksoll, Esq., was arrested by the Deputy U. S. Marshal on Monday morn ing of last week, on a charge of ntteriog dis loyal sentiments address at the oratio Mass Meeting in lndepwdenoeg|huie f on the ’ gave bail for his appeaijance at fore Alderman Beitler on Wednceday.But before the hoar for- hearing; hadV aiv riyed, a new affidavifeyras made out, under instructions from the Uoremment, and Mr. L was re arrested by the Provost Marshal, and imprisoned at the headquarters in the old Pennsylvania Bank building. Thereupon a writ of fiabeas corpus was sued out before Judge,. Capwalaurb, of the. 0. S. District ! Court, commanding the Marshal to produce him in Court; but* in consequence of the sud den death of Mr. Ihgebsoli/s mother, on Wednesday, further proceeings In the case were stayed until yesterday. The following is the speech, for the delivery of which Mr. L was arrested: Fellow Crmaas: X rise to support these resolu tions, and I would support, if necessary; resolutions a little stronger. But the truth is, that the time for discussion and for resolutions has past, and we have arrived at within six weeks of the time when we are to go to the ballot-box and settle—X hope forever— the question which for eighteen months has distracted this country, and in regard to'which so much effort has been made to bring the great Democratic party ; into disrepute. As X understand it, the Democratic party is now the majority of the people of Pennsyl vania. We have a majority in the State and in the city, and X believe the neighboring States will prove, when their elections take place, that they sire in the majority there. We are within six weeks of the eleotion, and that is the only reason why the Democratic party is so loudly denounced in the Republican papers, mid that is the reason why this meeting has been special lydenounced and threatened. X don’t know the names of the papers. X don’t read them; there are few papers in Philadelphia which a Democrat need read; but X remind you that all Democrats who ventured to come to this meeting have been denounced as traitors, as disaffected persons, as men. unworthy of the name of citizen. Tlie only reason of that is, that the Demooratio party is in the majority, and is about to take power from those who have possession of the government. In the Fall, if you do your duty—if the oitizens throughout the State rally to the Demooratio party the only rallying point that can save the country we shall take power forever from the hands of the Republicans. The Republican papers and the Re publican leaders may well cry out against the meet ing, oi against any means of rallying the Demooratio party, for it is the knell of their party, [Cheers. J I see no riot, no disturbance, no disorder! Xs it not monstrous that the party who holds this meeting should have been denounced in -all parts of the country; and is there any motive to be oonceived save that which X have suggested—that we are in the mrgority ' , What are we to do ? We are assembled here pre paratory to the October eleotion. X have seen you before in this Square. It is no new thing for the party to hold a meeting, and we are here for the pur pose of preparing for that eleotion. We are going to the ballot-box to deposit our votes against the party now in power at Washiugton. Is there any harm in that 7 No. Xs there any treason in that 7 No. Is there any disaffection in that 7 Xs it anti- American 7 If we are the majority, and if we know ! that the party in power is ruling us to our ruin, why should we not put it down 7 We think that they have ruled to our ruin, and, having the majority, we may exercise our right of putting them out by the ballot. They began with 700,000 men, and now they want 600,000 more. What have they done with that army ? What conquests have they made 7 [Cheers for McClellan.J Yea; and what are they doing with McClellan 7 It is said that McClellan is to be removed. Let us see how it is to be. [Three cheers for MoClell&n and three oheeis for Colonel Murphy.J I want to know whether any Government that ever exeroised so much power, with 700,000 men, ever accomplished results so insignificant 7 Are we any farther advanoed in the conquest of the southern States than we were at the beginning? We were told that it would take but sixty days, then ninety days, to crush out the rebellion. [Laughter. J And with what object has this war been prosecuted 7 X hear that the government has lately deoided to change its oourse; bat we have no proof that the abolition soheme is dead. But what has been the whole objeot of the war previously 7 Has there been any other object? There has been none, and if we could aooomplish that object, where should we be with those four mil lions of blacks turned loose in the Northern States 7 Are we to marry them —to work with them 7 In what manner are these negroes to be disposed of 7 I will tell you. These poor negroes whom the aboli tionists love less than you or I, would have their throats cut in a war of raoes, and that would be the end of this Bchemo of the abolitionists. I say far ther, that more corruption under any administration than that which now rules was never seen here, and seldom seen in any other country. Look at the for- tunes made in contraota. Look at the reports of the House and Senate committees—all Republicans—and you will see the evidence that so corrupt a govern ment has never managed until Mr. Lincoln came into power. You recollect that one of the last acts of the Senate, as now oomposed, was to refuse to pass the vote of oensure upon a Republican Senator whom a committee reported against. Who is to say nay? [Cheers.] What are we told? Why, that Democ racy is treason; freedom is treason; the press is treason. They Bay it is treason for the Democratic party to organize; it is treason to vote against this administration, or to do anything except to support those in power. We will support the government and the war, and I say that the idea that is now given out that we are not to organize against Abolitionism Is monstrous. [Cheers.] IS’NT THIS TREASON? The Chicago Tribune a bitter and ultra Republican Abolition paper, in a leading editorial of its issue of the lGth of August, says: “ What means this talk about restoring the Union as it was ?” There can be no Union as it was until the Confiscation Act is erased from tho statueß; that’s cortain. The Union AS IT WAS WILL NEVER BLESS THE VISION OF ANT PRO-SLAVERY FANATIC OR SECESSION SYMPATHIZ ER, AND IT NEVER OUGHT TO. IT IS A THING OF THE PAST, HATED OF EVERY PAT RIOT, AND DESTINED NEVER TO CURSE AN HONEST PEOPLE OR BLOT THE PA GES OF HISTORY AGAIN. The act con fiscating the property and freeing the slaves of traitorß will not be repealed I” Is this not “ discouraging enlistments?”— How many of our gallant young men in Lancaster would enlist if they thought our rulers were resolved never to restore ‘ the Union as it was ?’ Yet the Ti'ibune men are not arrested 1 Democrats, however, are being arrested all over the country for less than this. The notorious Wendell Phillips, in a re cent speeoh at Boston, said : “ The Government wants three hundred thousand men ; we must say to the President, “ You can not have a man or a dollar until you proclaim a policy. That will open the eyes of the President and Cabinet to the true sentiment of the North." If that is not disoouraging enlistments what is it ? - Wendell Phillips is a man of great influence in Massachusetts, but he is unmo lested, while other men are thrown into prison who are not doing a tithe of the injury to the Government in stopping reoruiting. MAJOR \V. A. STOKES. We perceive by the last number of the Greensburg Republican, that Major William A. Stokes, of that Borough, has become its editor. The Major is one of the most talented men in the State—an elegant and racy writer, whose rhetorio when spoken or written, is' always stirring and attractive in an eminent degree. He is, moreover, a sound and un flinching Democrat, and, as such, we extend him a cordial welcome into the editorial fra ternity. FRANKLIN COUNTY. The Republicans of Franklin county have nominated John Rowe for re-election to the Assembly, with instructions to support A. K. M’Cluro for the U. S. Senate. And this is the kind of stuff some persons call “Union,” to gull the unwary into the support of Republicans. One distinguishing trait characterizes all these so-called Union conventions. They are all held by and under the auspices of Republican oommittees. The some dodge was exhibited in this county last year. S. P. Longstreet, Chairman of the Re publican Committee, called the meeting, to gether—and none but Republicans participa ted iu it—but yet they called it a “Union" convention I John Rowe, like Gen. Robb, acted with that party during the whole of last winter; and the latter received as his reward the Republican nomination for Surveyor Gen eral, while Mr. Rowe receives instructions to support M’Clure, the leading Republican of Western Pennsylvania, for U. S. Senator. A preoious union, indeed, wasn’t it?— lntzeme Union. The: Cincinnati Commercial of Thurs day week admits and says “ that ultra anti slavery men in Congress have, during the late session of that body, damaged the Union cause by the unseemly urgenoy of partisan meas ures.” Democrats want men elected to Con gress who will not damage the Union cause. Let the people see that their representatives are not of the kind mentioned by the Com mercial, LOCAL DEPARTMENT. oral voinsTEKiu. - Below will be found the master rolls of Gap tains Musaer’s, Duneanta, GaoiCa.

Lancaster Physicians.— On Saturday eve- Ding, near 9 o’clock, a despatch was received by the Mayor from CoL Thomas A. Scott, Vice President cf the Pennsyl vania Railroad, making an urgent request from the Sur geon General of the U. S. Army for volunteer Surgeons to attend to the wonnded in the severe battle of Friday by Gen. Pope’s army. The Mayor accordingly convened as many of the Physicians as he could find, at Reese’s City Hotel, at o’clock, when Drs. Henry Carpenter, P. Cas sidy, H. B. Muhlenberg, J. Augustus Ehler, D. McCormick, John L. Atlee, Jr., and William Compton agreed to go Im mediately, and they started in the 1.20 A. M. train for Washington. They were followed on Sunday evening by Drs. Lo.ngenecker, Ellmaker and Markley, of this city, Drs. Weldler, Bowman, Hartman, Miller and Groff from the county and several from Colombia; and on yesterday by Drs. Fahnestock, Baker and Metzger, of this city, and Drs. J. E. Raub, Winters, and a number of other medical gentlemen from the country whose names we had not learned at the time oar paper went to press. Assessor anj Collector op Revenue.— James E. Alxxaitdib, Esq., of this city, has been appointed Assessor of the Internal Revenue for Lancaster county, under the Direct Tax Law passed at the late session of Congress. We also learn that A. H. Hoop, Esq., also of this city, has been appointed Collector cf Revenue under the same law. An Exciting Sundav.— The most exoiting Sabbath day in this city since the fall of Fort Sumter was that of Sunday last. With the great anxiety for news from the late great battle, the departure of physicians for Wash ington, and a despatch received requesting large supplies of lint to be sent immediately to different places, oar read ers can well imagine that it was a day of intense excitement. In the evening, In overy quarter of the city, could be seen the ladles, old and youog, preparing lint and other arti cles, which were sent to the Depository of the Patriot Daughters in Prince street; The latter place was crowded to a late hour with ladies, who were preparing the different articles tor transportation. Quite a number of boxes were Bent yesterday to Washington. —The following is the appeal of the Surgeon General: . SUBGBOH GxNERAL’S OFFICE, \ Washington, August 30, 1862 j To the Loyal Women and Children of the U. 8.: The supply of lint in the market is nearly exhausted.— The brave men wounded in defence ofHheir country will soou be in want of it. I appeal to you to come to our aid in supplying us with the necessary article. There is scarcely a woman or child who cannot prepare lint, and there is no way in which their assistance can be more use fully given than in famishing us the means to dress the wonnds of those who fall in the defence of the rights of their homes. Contributions will be received in Boston by Snrgeon A. N. McLaran, U. 8. A.; New York, Snrgeon R. 8. Batterly, U. S. A.; Newark, Assistant Surgeon Janeway; Philadel phia, Surgeon George E- Cooper; Baltimore, Surgeon C C. Cox, U. S. A.; Washington, Surgeon C S. L&mb, U. S. A.; Cincinnati, Assistant Surgeon Glover, U. 8. A.; Louisville, Asssistant Surgeon J. T. Head ; St. Louis, Surgeon O. F. Alexander, U. S. A , or by any other medical officer of the army. WILLIAM A. HAMMOND, What Has the City Done?— Ab this is a question frequently asked wheu speaking of the number of men sene to the field by Lancaster county, we propore to give an estimate, which we think is rather below than above the mark, as fellows : In Col; Uambrlght’s Regiment, say 500 men. “ Col. Franklio’s Regiment, “ 300 “ “ First Penn’a Reserves, “ 125 “ “ Col. Lujean’s Regiment, “ “ Cavalry Regimentß, “ “ Regulars and Marines, “ “ Col. Btambangh’s Regiment, “ “ Capt. Bolenlus* Company, “ “ Capts. Crops and Reitzel’s, “ “ Capt. Shoe's Company, “ “ Miscellaneous, “ The Public Schools.— The Public Schools of the city, after a vacation of six weeks, commenced tbeir regular annual session yesterday. Returned Home. —Capfc. William G. Ken drick, of the 79th (Lancaster Oonnty) Regiment, returned home from Annapolis, Md.. on Saturday last, not having yet been exchanged. We understand he has been appoint ed Drill Officer of the 129th New York Regiment. Republican Delegate Elections.— The Republican delegate elections were held throughout the county on Saturday afternoon last, and in the city in the evening. We think the chances for the District Attorney ship are in favor of John B. LmneSTON, Esq. It is said that Mr. Smvens will have no opposition for Congress in the Convention. It meets to-morrow at Fnlton Hall. Accident. —A man named Anderson Dob son, employed as a workman in the atone quarry at Lea man Place, was.seriously .wounded by a stone from a blast on Friday evening last; He did not succeed in getting away from the blast In time. He was brought to this city in tbe7. J s train by Mr.Lsviß. Bhoads, of Gordonville, who was very attentive to the wants of the wounded man. Dobson had his wrist and several ribs broken. Dr. John L. Atxsx, Br.. dressed his wounds, after which, at his own request, he was removed to the Hospital. MORROW B. LOWRY. The Grand Jury of Erie county have indicted Morrow B. Lowry for perjury. Mr. Lowry is the Abolition State Senator who wanted Mr. Lincoln to iesue an emancipation proclama tion, and, at the same time offer, as a reward to ther’iiegrc.es tbns emancipated, ten aeres of land for every white man’s scalp they would produce at Washington. —Clearfield Republi can. This Mr. Lowry is an Abolition “ Union ” patriot of the Stevens stamp. He was one of the leading spirits in the late mongrel State Convention at HarTisbnrg, over whieh John C. Knox presided, and the proceedings of which were dictated by such patriots as Low ry, Forney, Lanman, MoClure & Co. 1 FRII.ADEX.PBIA NOBISATIOSS, The Democrats of Philadelphia have made the following nominations: For Mayor —Daniel M.

The Republicans denounce Vallandigham as a traitor, and eulogize Bingham as a Patriot. They are both Representatives from Ohio, and during the last session of Congress they gave expression to their honeßt senti ments as follows: Mr. Vallasdigham said: “It is in the restoration of the Onion as it was in 1789, and continued for over 70 years, that I am bound to the lufhoor of my political existence.” Mr. Bingham said: “Who, in the name of Heaven, wants the cotton States, or any other States this side of perdition, remain in the Union, if slavery is to continue?” Pray, now, which is' the Traitor ? Will some Republican answer 7 Import amt Capture.— Key West letters received at New York reports the capture of the English steamer Columbia, with a cargo of 40 Armstrong guns, several Enfield rifles, army’ blankets; i and .other articles, by the gunboat Santiago do Cuba. The Colum bia is a new iron nropeller.of .400. tone and heir'<»it^'o6Bt's2di(v)oo;'‘ ' ißOUTionn-wuiHu the iv> RICAN BACK SAINED BE M? * cut philosophical specula tions too 4ften 'Vmtcl&b 1 empire of.truth and maos, and overthrow the “deductions of scientific research and the true principle* of'hfcmanMifb and happiness. The ambftions end corrupt Imaginings of men, however Intel* lectual «jdphlloeopbieal, T must always yield to the stem arbitrament of facta. TA*<s!et I* the proper determination of the righcdr wrong of any measure or system by which a people are to. have maaeured. If we seek to dungetSia condition of belatedhuman beings, from a aUle.of oamptretfre happiness and prosperity In which they jmvw been for years to that of a new relation inlUe,it would'eeembut fair and just that an equivalent at taus should be offered for the position they are called upon to surrender. Common tense, as well as common humanity, would seem to dictate the fairness of this proposition without resorting to the teachings of philosophy, or any well do* fined or thoroughly established system of. Biblical juris* prudence. Tho question of involves the commondes* tiny of the slaves of the South, and seeks the abolition of the present relation of the races. Its object is to overthrow the social distinction existing In the Slave Btates. and to raise the negro to a perfect equality with the white man. If the instincts of human nature would permit sueh equal ity, and the people of . the Southern Statea would with one accord desire it, it would'be revolting to the finer sensibil ities of a large majority of oar people to grant it; bat to force soeh a relation upon a community which has a lively sense of the. enormity of such a proposition, and who have been for years resisting it with ill the intensity of ah ont* raged humanity, to say nothing of the pecuniary loss they 'Would sustain, is simply monstrous. If the African race could or would be benefltedby this change—if their social and moral condition would be Im proved, and their humanity would be ra'sed into a higher grade of inteUectnal and political enjoyment—if the true relation and distinction which God and nature have or dained between the Caucasian and the African oouid be maintained, without the corrupting and degenerating ten dency of amalgamation, and the physiological, debilitating effects of thrusting those poor creatures into a position in life which their organic endowments never intended they shoulduccnpy—there would probably be the shadow of a reason for this insane Infatuation of Abolitionism. But science, history,, experience and observation all testify to the tact, that the negro race as snch has never been bene fited; bat morally, politically and socially wher ever and whenever they have been effected by it. France, England and America have for three-quarters of a century been legislating for impartial frtedtmP ' Hun dreds of millions of treasure and many thousands of lives have been expended in their endeavors to break down the slavo power of the world, and “improve the condition” of the negro race, with the result that before the rebellion broke ont, the negroes In bondage la* the Southern States of America were in general in a better condition morally, socially and politically than any other spo’t on the globe. Prior to 1793 Havti, one of the West India Islands, was under tbe French Government a elaveboldlng community. Its fertility and prosperity made it, In a commercial point of view, of superior importance. It had been brought to the highest state of cultivation, and to the fullest realisa tion of its wonderful powers of production in the richest add most useful staples of a tropical climate by tho French planters. At-..this period it was turned over to its new masters. “Impartial jTeedtiin.” was given to tbe slaves, and/ they became the rulers and the planters, and the element by which the future destiny of the Island was to be meas ured. Without considering-the commercial or industrial decay—which was rapid and disastrous iu the extreme— we will take a glance at the moral gain and condition of the negro. The degraded, barbaronscondition of the negroes of Hay ti is well illustrated io a description given by Mr. Under hill of the religion of Vaudoux, or serpent worship. It is a native African superstition, and proves beyond ail ques tion the rapid re’.urn of the Hayti negroes to the original s&vageism of their African ancestors. The object worship ped is a small green snake. Mr. U.'says: .* “TheVandonx meet in a retired spot designated by a u previous meeting. On entering they take off their shoes, and bind about their bodies handkerchiefs In which a red color predominates. Tbe King Is known by a scarlet band arouod bis head, wofh like and s scarf of the same color distinguishes the Queen. The object of adora tion, the serpent, is placed on a stand. It is then worship ped, after which the box is placed on the ground; the Queen mounts npon it, is soized with violent tremblings, and gives utterances to oracles in response to the prayers of the worshippers. A dance closes the ceremony. The King puts his hands on the serpent’s box; a tremor seizes him, which is communicated to the circle. A delirious whirl or dance onsnes, heightened-by the free use of the tafia. The weakest fall, ss if dead, npon the spot. The bacchanalian revelers, always dancing and turning about, are borne away into a place near at band, where sometimes under the triple excitement -of promiscuous Intercourse, drunkenness and darkness, scenes are enacted, enough to make the impassable gods of Africa themsvl res gnash their teeth with horror.” Sorely the negroes of Haytl have gained nothing, but have lost everything in tho loss of their moral status by the corse of Abolitionism. Jamaica, an island of the British West Indies, in about tbe same category of prosperity with that of Hayti, libera* ted its slaves in 1838, and, by sad experience, has sustained the same degeneracy and decay. Ex-Governor Wood, of Ohio, who paid a visit to Jamaica in 1853, and who is no friend to slavery, says: “Since tbe blacks have been lib* erated they hare become Indolent, insolent, degraded and dishonest. They are a rude, beastly set of vagabonds, ly ing naked about the streets, as filthy as the Hottentots, and I believe worse. On getting to tbo wharf at Kingston, the first thing tho blacks of both sexes, perfectly naked, came swarming about tbe boat,'and would dive'far small pieces of coin that were thrown out by the passengers.— On ontering tbe city the stranger is annoyed to doathby black beggars at every step, and you must often show them your pistol, or uplifted cane, to rid yonrself of their importunities.” The experience of Hayti and Jamaica, and the revolting,- terrible scenes of St. Domingo show how little has been gained by those European powers; and what a terrible price the negro himself pays for the privilege of being placed in a position where bis decay is most rapid, ana where ho invariably rolapaos into his original barbarism. Nor Is the picture more encouraging in America. All that prevents tbe revolting scenes of barbarism above enumerated, in this country, are the surrounding^ of the free negro. Were it not for tbe blaze of Christian light and civilization which snrronnda them, and the stern laws of tbe land wblch hold them in chock, all the horrible sceues of tbeir native African jungles would be re-enacted here; and “impartial freedom,” instead of indolence, licentious ness and crime, as it now is, would be to them idolatry and unrestrained heathenism. In the early history of our Independence, when slavery prevailed in tbe North as well as tbe South, tbe Idea of emancipation move i the Bociety of Friends, especially to tbe work of abolishing the system in the States where it was not profitable. The scheme became popular, for It appeared to be divested of ail selfish or mercenary motives. Tbe work went on nntil tbe rapid moral decay of those poor creatures aionsei the people to tbe dreadful features the system was presenting, in the deplorable semi-barbar ous condition into which tho negroes, thus set free, were rolapsing. All plans for the promotion of industry, intel ligence and morality seemed to fall, and down* down to the depths of indolence, licentiousness and crime did they go, until the hospitals, almshouses, Jails and penitentiaries were literally filled with them. The consequence was the work of emancipation stopped, not because there was a degeneracy of philanthropic sentiment and Christian feel ing, but because the people felt that In the change of con dition they were forcing npon the negro, in taking him from the restraints of the governing power of a superior race, and thrusting him into a position he was neither morally nor mentally qualified to fill, they were Inflicting an injury far more disastrous to the common welfare of his race than wore the-most objectionable features of slavery. This fearful degeneratiug tendency in the moral condition of the negro, when forced to tho enjoyment of “impartial freedom,” gave slavery its bounds a good deal farther north than the gecgraphlcal lines of climate would have done, had Abolitionism proved a success instead of a mis erable failure. Surgeon General, U. S. A. 100 « 100 “ 60 « 60 “ 60 « 26 “ 60 “ Onr limits will not allow a reference to the more recent history of the operations of Abolitionism. It is traced in sorrow and suffering in the sad experience of that unfor tunate race of beings, and in blood and carnage In the still more recent hißtory of our country. It requires no extended knowledge of history to be able to see that the present Condition of the free negro in America is of the most degraded character. After so many years of freedom they are worse Instead of better off. And the fearful truth is everywhere apparent that the misera ble, low condition of the whole colored population of the country which is not in servitude to masters who, in nine cases out of ten, aro humane and forbearing, Is in a species of slavery far more terrible In Its effects upon both the moral and physical condition of the negro, and therefore they are not only not benefited bat Injured in a corres ponding ratio to the extent of their freedom, and conse quently are paying a terrible price for the enjoyment of that liberty which Abolitionism would purchase not at the expense of onr Government and the blood of onr people alone, but the very life and sonls of the negroes themselves.. OBSERVER. THE ARREST OF CHARLES INGER- We publish elsewhere the epeeoh delivered by Charles Ingersoll at the Philadelphia Demooratic meeting on Saturday last,-for which he has been arrested by order of the government. It no doubt contains a world of incendiary and disloyal matter, or else he would not have been arrested; hut a great many honest people will “cudgel their brains” without finding it ont. He expresses a doubt as to the wißdom and honesty of the adminis tration, it is trne ; bnt then Horace Greelet and Wendell Phillips have done the same thing in a fifty-fold more offensive manner— yet the one offender receives a respectful letter signed “ A. Lincoln ” and the other is sent to jail. It is ap extraordinary spectacle whioh we have witnessed for the last year—a free people, the freest on earth, tenacious of their rights, imperious for the largest liberty, qui etly submitting to the suspension, of their rights and liberties, to a restricted freedom of the press, the suspension of .the writ of habeas corpus, imprisonment without trial, liberations without reparation. K « ■ The President of the United States and his advisers will terribly mistake the temper of the American people, the secret of their sub mission to, of their demand for, these stretches of exeoutive power, if they presnme or act upon the presumption that they will tolerate them for any other end whatever than the suppression of the rebellion.—.N.
