TERRIBLE FIGHTING.
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.

through the 2W6une, a most impudent and in
sulting letter to the President, in whjqh Tie'

—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,

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

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.

land for every white man’s scalp they would
produce at Washington. —Clearfield Republi

WHICH IS THE TRAITOR?
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

resorting to the teachings of philosophy, or any well do*

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.

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..

THE ARREST OF CHARLES INGER-
We publish elsewhere the epeeoh delivered

as to the wißdom and honesty of the adminis

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

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

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 « ■
