"CLING TO THE CONSTITUTION, AS THE SHIPWRECKED MARINER CLINGS TO THE LAST PLANK, WHEN NIGHT AND THE TEMPEST CLOSE AROUND HIM."-DANIEL WEBSTER. DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET. FOR GOVERNOR: GEORGE W. WOODWARD, OF LUZERNE COUNTY FOR JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT WALTER H. LOWRIE, OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY. STATE EDITORIAL CONVENTION. In accordance with a resolution passed at the Editorial Convention, held In the Penate Chamber, at Harrisburg, on the 18th inst., the Democratic Editor. of Pennsylvania are requested to meet in the City of Lancaster, on THURSDAY, Tun 18xii or JULY, 1863, at 11 o'clock, A. M., for the purpose of consultation and united action in the political campaign upon which we have entered. A general attendance is earnestly desired, as basil:teas of great impOrtance to the profession will come before the Convention. GEO. SANDERSON, President Leressven, June 23, 1863. lir Editors throughout the State are requested to copy jw- The Editorial Convention will assemble at the Democratic Club Room, south-west corner of Centre Square, in this city, on Thursday next, at 11 o'clock, A. M. Postponement In consequence of the disturbed condition of the public mind growin out of the recent invasion of the State, together with the draft now goingon, and the lateness of the har vest, it is thought best to postpone the Democratic County Mass Meet ing (which was . to have been held on the 25th inst.,) for a few weeks.— The , time will be designated here after. The Battles at Gettysburg We publish iu another column a condensed account of the series of great battles before Gettysburg, com mencing with the opening fight on Wednesday the Ist inst., and termi nating on Friday evening with the repulse of the enemy. These were unquestionably the greatest conflicts of the war, and it is gratifying to know that the, ablest General of the rebel army was met and successfully resisted by the Army of the Potomac Under its new and gallant comman der, General MEADE. From Maryland. At the last accounts LEE'S army was in line of battle between Hagers _Dwn and the Potomac, and MEADE'S army was pressing him closely in front. A great battle was imminent, and may have already taken place, but we had no intelligence of it at the time we went to press, on yester day afternoon. THE CAPTURE OF VICKSBURG This event, which has been so long wished for and about which there have been so many disappointments, has at length become a fixed fact, having occurred on the 4th inst., and in proportion to the long desired realization, has been the occasion of much rejoicing through ciut the loyal States. It is an important point gained, and if followed by the capture of Port Hudson, which is now more than likely, will be a severe blow to the rebellion which it vir tually outs in two. The opening of the Mis sisippi will be a great relief to the Northwest ern States which have had, in addition to the losses occasioned by the war, to suffer great inconvenience and detriment from their ina bility to transport their vast products to the seaboard. The customary trade with New Orleans-will now be resumed by those States, and, excepting occasional interruptions from guerillas on the west bank of the river, will be of great advantage to them. Still it will be necessary to have the captured fortresses well garisoned and to keep an efficient naval force on the river to protect the boats navi gating it. The lapse of a week or two will more clearly develop the extent of the advan tages gained by this victory, and may show how far it will tend toward the ultimate subjugation of the rebellion. Meanwhile, let us be happy that it is a step in advance towards that most desired end. SENATORIAL NOMINATION Cola WILLIAM HOPKINS, of Washington county, we are gratified to learn, has been nominated by the Democracy of Washington and Green counties, for State Senator. This is a good nomination, as Col. HOPKINS is one of the ablest Legislators and purest patriots in Pennsylvania. He will be elected by about 3,000 majority, and will take the place of the late Republican, Mr. Speaker Lawrence. RETALIATION It is stated that the rebel authorities at Richmond have ordered two Federal officers to shot, as an act of retaliation for the shooting of the two rebel captains, by order of General Burnside, at Sandusky, Ohio, in May last.— Captain Henry Washington Sawyer, of the First New Jersey Cavalry, and Captain John Flinn, of the Fifty-first Indiana Volunteers, have been selected by lot, and are to be the victims. If our Government should order a continu— ance of this kind of retaliation, there is no Idling where it may end. A very large num— ber of rebel prisoners are nowiin the hands of the Federal authorities. Tun COAL PANIC AND SWINDLE. Every time the rebels make a " raid " into Pennsylvania, coal goes up higher, but it does not come down again with the same rapidity after the State is free from the invaders. The Rochester, N. Y. Union has a sensible and well-timed article upon the coal panic, which is just to the point, and will be indorsed by all coal consumers who are subjected to the mu nopoly of a single company of dealers. It says that " the coal monopolists are just now taking advantage of the rebel invasion of Pennsylvania to create the false impression that the supply of coal is to be out off or de creased, and thus prepare the public for the imposition of higher prices. There is not a particle of truth in their representations or justification for their proceedings, which in some instances we are informed go so far as to refuse to deliver coal at all to purchasers at present! The fact is, the coal regions of Pennsylvania are a hundred miles north of the farthest point reached or intended to be reach ed by the rebels. Lee can have no possible object in visiting them, and all accounts of the colleries being closed and the colliers enlisted for the military service, are base coinages of the' patriotic," unselfish,' and disinterested' coal monopolists. It will be time enough to tell the people that the coal diggers of Penn-. Sylvania have come out of the bowels of the earth and shouldered the musket, after evi dence is furnished that those whose firesides have been overrun, set the example. Further than this, the coal transported over the Lehigh Valley Railroad for the week ending on the 27th ult., amounted to twenty-seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-five tons. The entire quantity carried over this road during the present year, has been six hundred and sev enty-four thousand six hundred and seven tons, which is two hundred and nicety-two thousand six hundred and eighty tons in ex cess of the tonnage of last year, up to this date. On the Lehigh Canal, last week, twen ty-five thousand two hundred and twenty nine tons were carried to market. On all the great lines there has been an increased ton nage. Yet the dealers get up a panic to raise the price I The whole thing is a swindle on the public." A “LOYAL LEAGUE ~ ANALYZED The Philadelphia Evening Journal pub lishes a list of the members of the Republican League in that city, giving their names in full, with their residences and occupations.— The list comprises 533 names, and the ana lysis does not show the patriotism of the Leaguers to be of the most disinterested or genuine character. More than one-third of the whole number are contractors, and they outnumber any other single occupation repre sented in the League over three to one.— There are also a goodly supply of office hold ers. We copy the Journal's recapitulation, by which it will be Been that the League's contributions to the army or to the defence of Harrisburg have not been as numerous as might have been expected from their bellicose talk : 11.[CAPITIJLATION. Total number of Leaguers Number who live off tho Government Contractora. Office holders Administration editors Number who support themaelTes Of these there are— Retired rich men 59 Bankers and Brokers 22 Railroad and Canal Officers 10 There are the following nnecellaneous occupations League Printers League Brewer League Jewelef League Gilder 1 Goldsmith 1 League Band Master 1 Solicitor of Contracts Teacher of Toutto 1 Artie There are also in the Lea;ue two Poets and ono Orator OUT OF FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE LEAGUERS BUT SEVEN ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR COUNTRY, TO WIT: In the Army— N. Boyd, Alexander Murphy, Richard Axhhurat. Gone to Ilarrieburg— E. Spencer Minor, Chnrices S. Smith, William B. Thomas, William notch Wistar. Among the names of the League are the four Abolition Republican Congressmen from Philadelphia. These, the Journal says, are'', all at home, while RANDALL, the " Copper head " member, has left to aid in the defence of Harrisburg. No doubt the above analysis is a fair sample of the material composing these Leagues in other places, and we think that it would be well for them to cee se boast ing of their great patriotism and to clamor so loudly for war, until they give some evidence that they are willing to share equally in the risks and dangers of warfare. The Most Rev. Francis Patrick Kenrick, • Archbishop of the Catholic See of Baltimore, died suddenly at his residence adjoining the Cathedral in that city, during the night of Tuesday last. He retired to 'Tat in good health at hie usual hour, and was to have offi ciated, as costomary, at early Mass. The sex_ ton finding that he had not risen, and believ- ! ing him to be still sleeping, proceeded to the door to awaken him. On knocking at the door, not meeting with any response, he im agined that the Archbishop had been taken I ill, and upon consultation decided to break the lock of his room and enter. This was ac cordingly done, when the Archbishop was found dead in his bed, with his arms placidly folded across his breast. So passed away a good man. It is not for us to recount his virtues. The meekness with which he bore the high honors imposed upon him ; his many and unostentatious Christian charities—his easiness of access, his spotless character, and his unwearied devotion to the Church of which he was so long a prominent ornament—these and all other nobler qqalities by which he adorned his station, we leave to be dilated upon by those who knew him best, and who are therefore the best able to render a fitting tribute to his memory.' THE REBEL ALLIES The Richmond Enquirer, gives the follow ing opinion of the Democratic party : That the Democratic party was our worst enemy, and but for its poisonous embrace these States would have been free and clear of the unnatural Union twenty years ago.— It is not the &wards, and Sumners, the Black Republicans and Abolitionists, who have hurt us. They were right all along ; there was an irrepressible conflict:between two different civ ilizations, two opposite social organizations ; they were no more able to live peaceably to gether in one government than two hands can wear one glove." Read and ponder, ye Abolition conspira tors, who were " all along right " with the rebels. See where your praise comes from. Acknowledge the compliment paid by your disunion allies in the South, and let us hear no more of your hypocritical ravings about " Copperheads." The Democratic party, the rebels say, was their worst enemy. Its em brace was poisonous, because it prevented them from getting out of the Union twenty years ago. The Abolitionists end Black Re , publicans did not hurt them, they were right all along, for they taught. the " irrepresible conflict" doctrine, in other words, the disu nion doctrine. They have been playing into the hands of the rebels, and it will require the best efforts of the Democratic party. which is hated alike by these co-conspirators to defeat their hellish machinations. Hox. C. L. VALLLNDIGHAM.—The steamer Harriet Pinckney, four and a half days from Bermuda, arrived at Halifax on Sunday week last, with Mr. Vallandigham and several other passengers from Charleeton and Y, Limington, N. 0. WHAT THE Amyx:yr - warnTs BAY. The Anti-Slavery Society held a celebra tion on the Fourth, at Farmington, Massa chusetts, in which the usual violent and denunciatorylanguage towards the Govern ment was used. Mr. Garrison, who'presided, declared himself opposed to Conway's propo sal to Mason, to agree to a separation of the Union, if the South will abolish slavery. Gar rison will not trust the South, and he said he was for the Government against slavery. The great speech was from Wendell Phillips, and he is reported to have said : "Mr. Lincoln, deluded by his own ambition, and misled by artful counsellors, had made the Government at Washington, a national committee to manage the next Presidency, and to carry on the war subordinate to the chances of a certain party to the Presidency. Mr. Postmaster Blair had approached Mr. Senator Wilson, weeks ago, and asked if it was not time to put Mr. Lincoln in nomination. He de nounced Mr. F.lair's speech, recently made at Concord, which•he called Lincoln's bid for the Presidency. He said Blair was the boldest liar on the continent, Washington was the greatest obstacle to the success of the Union ; and the drunkenness of Hooker was nothing compared with Lincoln." . These sentiments received the enthusiastic approbation of the assembly. S. S. Foster then made a speech in opposition to the war. He is represented to have said ; " He had no choice between the Governments of Jeff. Davis and Abraham Lincoln ; they were both fighting for slavery. He had dis couraged enlistments, and should do so. He hoped Gen. Lee would succeed in Pennsylvania and take New York and Boston,and the North be brought to starvation, until universal eman cipation was proclaimecl. War is of the devil, and if followed up will lead to hell." Foster's utterances were received with fa vor. Vtillandigham could not have uttered anything more treasonable.—Philada. Ledger. We think Mr. Vallandigham could not easily beat this, and we repel the Ledger's in sinuation that he has ever uttered anything treasonable. Mr. Vallandigham, the chosen Representative of the Democratic party of the great State of Ohio—of a majority of the citi zens of that State—is a high-minded, honora ble gentleman, and as true a friend of his country as there is in all the land. His offence has been his manly protest againsteShe usur pation, the violations of law, and the outrages upon public liberty committed by officials with whom the salvation of the country, on the basis of the Constitution, is a theme of ridicule and contempt, and whose practices ' tend to the destruction of all that Americans hold dear—all that is worth living for. This the Ledger knows, while it couples Mr. Val landigham's name with those of men who boast that they have labored twenty or thirty years to destroy the American Union, and who have acted on the belief that " the Con stitution of the United States is a League with Death and a Covenant with Hell !" As to the above quoted utterances of Phil lips and Foster, they are no worse than the Abolitionists have been in the habit of venting ever since the war began—in fact, ever since they have been spouting on the negro ques tion. Had such things been uttered only a single time by Democrats, the offenders would have been imprisoned or banished. General Schenck banishes women for smiling on con federate prisoners, He imprisoned Mr. Boil eau and suppressed this paper for maintain ing that Jeff. Davis' messages evinced more ability than the messages of Lincoln ; but this Foster can openly declare, with perfect im punity, that he " had discouraged enlistments and intended to continue to do so ! " that he " has no choice between the governments of Jeff. Davis and Abraham Lincoln," and that he " hopes General Lee will succeed in Penn sylvania, and take New York and Boston, and the North be brought to starvation." The truth is, Mr. Lincoln dare not arrest such miscreants as Phillips, Foster and Garri son. Although these men complain of him so bitterly, yet they, either directly or indirectly, have controlled his Administration and com pelled him (if he required compelling), to issue his Abolition proclamation and arm ne• groes to uphold the honor of the American flag ! They have achieved much, but with their : natural impatience, they aro sore be , cause they cannot do everything at once.— They ought to take comfort from Fred. Dung lass' declaration that " the Government " will yet finish the black business of totally eman cipating the negroes, making them citizens, etc. They will continue to abuse Mr. Lin coln until they secure all they desire. They have no fears of arrest—they can say what they please, and Mr. Lincoln will at length declare the negroes free and full citizens of all the -States. In the meantime, Democrats and other friends of the Constitution and the Union will be imprisoned for criticizing his policy. To be safe in these days a man should either be a nigger or a nigger's friend, at the ex pense of the white man !—Evening Journal. HOW TO SECURE PEACE On the subject of securing an ho norable peace, the New York Journal of Commerce, of Friday last, contains the following " It is by no means certain that the presen is a propitious moment for entertaining defi nite plans of peace. If our policy had been such as to raise a Union party in the South, to foment differences of opinion there, we have no doubt that this moment we should hear a loud call for peace from within the revolted States. The same individual sufferings and pains which we have spoken of as operatigg here, are felt there with equal intensity. We know that in various parts of the South ;are mutterings of discontent, prophecies of fail ure, and secret longings for peace and union. We know that in Georgia it is not uncommon in private circles to hear the Southern Confed eracy spoken of as a very dubious affair, and the return of Georgia to the Union as a possi bility in the future. We hear similar reports from North Carolina, and we have reason to believe that in other portions of the Southern States there are more or less of the people who entertain grave thoughts of the terrible error into which they have been plunged by their political leaders. It is probable that the present state of affairs will increase the bold ness and strengthen the influence of these per sons. Still, as heretofore, it is plain to us beyond dispute that a policy should be adopt ' ed which is calculated to increase the number of such persons, and to hold open to all the people of the South the manifest advantages of union and peace over disunion and war.— There are sensible people in the Southern States. They are not all gone mad. The Government of the United States has in its hands a tremendous power over these persons, and by using and aiding them, a vast power over the unity of the Southern States and people. A wise course on the part of the Government now, might be productive of the most glorious consequences. If such a course could be adopted as would restore union and peace, is it not the duty of the. Administration to pursue it? Can any man, except one who has become insane on a one idea plan, hesitate as to the propriety, the wisdom, the duty in such a case ? " The radical men are surely crazed who propose to change the object of the war and prosecute it until their ends are accomplished. They may not like the old Union, but they will never effect a new Union. It cannot be done their way. They have no tight to attempt it. The living army of American soldiers are not fighting for it. - It is treason to the dead who lie on so many hard-fought fields to at tempt it. " The instant that there is an opening for peace and union, that instant must be seized, and the opening enlarged. Until it comes the soldiers are ready for battle, the people are ready with sacrifices as heretofore. But those soldiers must not be wasted. Those sacrifices are sacred, and must not be profaned." THE BATTLE FIELD. Hundreds of our citizens, says the York Press, visited the battle field, at Gettysburg, during the past week, to witness the de struction and desolation committed by the missiles of death. No tongue can tell the miseries and sufferings experienced by the thousands of our brave troops lying wounded on the field of battle, many_of whom were in the last agonies oecleath. Visitors all give the most doleful accounts of the scene, and we have heard many of them declare that they never wish to witness the like again.— The slaughter was fearful to behold. The cries and moanings of the dying and wounded were indeed most heartrending, and - caused many a stout and brave heart to drop a tear and reflect upon the miseries this cruel war has brought upon us. When will the end ; to this horrible carnage come ? May the Lord in his infinite wisdom have mercy on W.

Furey, in which he was ordered, that when he entered Mexico city, he should issue a proclamation announcing Napoleon's' nten tion to recognize the Davis government. This news is contained in La France, of Paris, the special organ of the Empress Eugenie and the high church party of France. We have also some details of the alleged plan-of Lord Palmerston to propose a refer , ence of the American question to the arbitra tion of King Leopold of Belgium. • Earl Russell in reply to the Earl of Clanri etude, stated that Napoleon had not renewed his proposals fora" recogeiition " of the South to England.

Count Reohberg re plied that when the North and South united in requesting the good offices 4-the Emperor they might be accorded.7--Ev. Journal. TIMANCULL PZIIII.B OF THE PIITIIRE The - financial position of the Federal Gov ernment at this moment is such that every man's fortune and daily business depends upon, the will of Mr. Chase during the next thirty days. On his nod depends the value of goods itLevery males shop,': the price of daily food, and the amount of wages a man may re ceive for his daily labor. The The"whole course of business hangs upon the decision of the Sec retary: The head of the State Department, with solemn ,pride, informed the Minister of the British Crown, that he could touch the bell within the reach of his right band, and a yawning dungeon would receive a victim from New York. He could repeat the touch and a citizen of Ohio would fall into the black cave, whence no human power could rescue him but Mr,,Lincoln. The Secretary of State had ab solute control over the person. The head of the Treasury Department is equally omnipo• tent over property. He may touch the bell which directs the steam power of the Govern ment printer's office, and - the stream Of paper money will flow through every channel of circulation ; raising prices, stimulating 2 n go-, illation, oonfering wealth on the feikttiA' •"-- gary on the many. He may againlisttok & . b bell, and the stream of paper wealth = 4-1114 di-y -ap, speculation will perish, prices fall; interest rise, property lose its value, fortunes topple down, and the tax gatherer thrust his callous hand into every impoverished purse in the country, until Government exaction shall ab sorb the whole revenue of society. The choice between these courses has now to be made by the Secretary, and no man knows what the future may bring forth. The original resources of the country were very great, but they have been wasted by the most reckless improvidence. The lessons of the past and the experience of mankind should have taught any statesman when this war broke out, that there was but one plan by which the Government could be sustained and the nation preserved, and that was by the only constitutional mode of raising money, viz: to create stocks on which to borrow the necessary sums, levying at the same time a tax which should be utterly extinguished. The people were at that time offering up their whole for tunes and lives to the Government, and then required nothing but for Congress to indicate the tax to be paid, and it would have been, cheerfully. A loan so based would have coin mended not only the whole capital of the country, but of every country of Europe, bad it been necessary. Mr. Chase rejected the plan on the ground that it would not be •• popular, for the party." He thought that he could cheat the people out of their capital by means of paper issues—that he could skin them without their knowing it. The system has been pursued until all property in the country has been undermined and stands trembling upon a false basis. Capital has been used op in the double process of wasteful consumption and diminished production, while discredit reached an alarming extent, and the scared Secretary pauses in his dangerous 1 course. The tardy tax la*, estimated on the wealth of the country before the war, ie now found to be " alarmingly deficient," because the incomes, the property, the business to be taxed have been dilapidated by the action of paper money. The Secretary having issued half the amount authorized pauses, appeals franticly to the public to fund the notes in a five year's stock, and employs a host of agents, to whom he has paid three hundred thousand dollars commissions, to coax and wheedle the public into converting the paper. By these means an amount was obtained equal to about one third of his expenditures during the pro cess of procuring it. The effect was to dig turb the whole money market. and ,raise the rate of interest from 3a4 to 7e7i per cent. Capitalists are now alarmed, a further movement in the same direction will be ruin ous to existing values, a recourse to the re mainir3g issues of paper authorized will palli ate the evil for the moment, but aggravate it fearfully for the future. Let us look at the paper money authorized: Ist Act of 1862, $l5O 000 000 2d Act of 1862, 150,000,000 Act of January 1863, 100,000 000 Fractional currency, 50 000,000 Act Feb. 2R, 1863, 50 000,000 Act March 3, 1863, 150 . 000,000 Act March, int. bearing $lO 250,000,000 New Bank Currency, Of the nine hundred millions authorized, one half are issued, and the paper sells at sixty-eight cents on the dollar, with semi official assurances that it will not be allowed to go below sixty-six and one third cents per dollar. Will the remainder of that paper be issued? or will the Secretary persist in offer ing portions of the $1,000,000,000 of six per cent stooks he is authorized to sell at any price privately, when a sale of $70,000,000 in the last sixty days has wrought such a disturbance in the market ? The amount of Government stocks that fall due and are to be paid within eighteen months are as follows : Interest. Amount. Due. 2.year stock, 0 $ 2,613 550 July 1. 186:3. , 3 year bonds, 730 53.00 2,300 Aug. 19, 1864. 3-year bonds, 7.30 86 905,700 October 2, 1804. 1-year bonds, 6 180.800 000 Year from dote, 30 days, 4 41.011.930 10 days after 30 30 dap!, 5 63 887 070 10 days after 3.1 Gold, 4 9 175,000 10 days after 30 Texan bonds, 5 3460,000 January, 1805. $ 35,747 550 This large amount is to be paid—nearly the whole of it—within fifteen months, and more than one-fourth is due on demand. If the rate of interest rises very high, as it is likely to do under the present action of the Secretary, the whole amount will be demanded in addition to the vast expenditure, over $1,000,000,000, appropriated for the year commencing July 1, next. The possibility to float the debt de pends upon the rate of interest. :Will the rate be raised by borrowing on the one thousand millions? In other words, will the Secretary, pull the house down over his own head?— Every man's business depends upon the solu tion of that question. He cannot get back to the solid base of specie- and taxation, with untarnished credit; and if he could, be might reason with Maobeth, that he is plunged so deep that it is as tedious to go back as to go over.—N. r. Daily News. ABOLITION QUALIFICATIONS FOR BAPTISM.- The following anecdote, we suppose, may be depended upon as relating anti-slavery facts, as we find it in the Worcester Spy : "On Sunday last, as Rev. Mr. Jones, of Canaan, N. H., was about to baptise several candidates for admission to his church he found that:one candidate had not been so thorough. ly converted as to believe slavery to be a sin. The elder asked him, as he stepped into the water, if ho believed slavery to be a sin 2 " No,".he replied, "I think it to be a divine institution." " Then," said the elder, you can't be baptized here." We read that the apostle Philip baptized " a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch who bad great authority under Candace queen of the Ethi opians," and doubtless a slave. The Scrip. tural narrative gives no account of an enqui ry, on the part of the apostle, as to the civil condition of the eunuch, or the customs of his country. The sole condition of baptism was, " If thou belierest with all thy heart thou may est." Upon' receiving a satisfactory answer upon this point, the solemn rite was adminis tered—" And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the: Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more : and he went on his way rejoicing." Can we im agine that the same Spirit led Elder Jones ? ,:..13o.ston Courier. .3.30 a. m. .8.40 9.00 " 25 .2.25 p m 548 " .9.03 AMALGAMATION WENDELL Pamirs, the leading apostle canonized in the Anti-Slavery Bible, made a speech on the 4th inst., at Farmingham, Mass., in which he proclaimed himself fully wedded to the amalgamation of the races. He de blared : " / have no hope for the future, as this country has no past, but in that sublime mingling of the races, which is God's own method of civilizing and elevating the world." Wendell is eminently " loyal." He has too warm a side for Lincoln's " American citizens of African descent," to allow any doubt on that point. Wendell, too, is a great favorite with " loyal" people everywhere, and s') shall not be surprised to hear of his being in. vited to . this neighborhood, to pave the way among all " loyal" people for the mingling of affections with the "Sweet Scented Nigger." 5 -20 LosN.—By reference to the adver tisement of JAY Coots, No. 114 South 3d street, Philadelphia, it will be seen that fur ther time is given to invest in the eve. twenty Government loan. This loan is sold at par for the National currency, and is considered a desirable investment. STANTON AND HALLECK. As represented in the New York Herald, these gFntlemen stand before the American people in a very unfavorablersspect. The Secretary of War, Stanton, is repre sented in the Herald to have said, speaking of the capture of Vicksburg, that the "sneaking traitors and copperheads of the North would bi driven hissing to their holes," and Gen. Halleck, in his speech, concurring in the re marks of the remarkable Secretary of War, asserts that Gen. Grant would proceed• from victory to victory until the "rebellion has been crashed out, and the copperheads, as his friend, the Secretary, had said, 'were driven hissing to their holes.'" We may be permitted to inquire of these high Government functionaries what they mean by "tbe copperheads of the North" who are to be driven "hissing to their holes?" If they mean the Democratic party, as un doubtedly they du, we beg to assure them that there is not strength enough in the Ad ministration, with all its bayonets and green backs, to accomplish what they.saem to think so_easy of accomplishment: - The.Democratia party is or zed, in force and blithe field, ready to mee throw back every unconstitutional measure which the Administration may unwisely undertake to carry out ; and we can assure Messrs. Stan ton and llalleck that they are mistaken in their views, however the campaigns of Grant and Banks and Meade may terminate.—Pa triot & Union. THE MILITIA. GLORIOUSLY AT WORK There is one matter in the account of the great battle at Gettysburg, on Friday, says the Patrio! & Union, which is deserving of marked attention. This account says that when the enemy massed his whole force for an overwhelming attack on the right of Gen. Meade's position, and had sucess almost with in his grasp, a column of new troops appeared on our side and determined the fate of the day. These troops were the Pennsylvania Militia. Even the New York Herald, which gives the account, says that it will be a "proud inheri tance" fur the children of those men to know that they were in arms to take part in the events of that glorious day. How this should eft:notate the action of those men, particularly the experienced men, who are not yet in the field, and it should inspire with ardor the vol unteers themselves! Let us hear no more sneers or damaging remarks about the militia either from the lips of martinets or`dubions heroes. NEW PLAN FOR FILLING UP THE A Washington letter says that the Govern. ment has determined to adopt a plan for re cruiting the army which has long been under consideration, and that measures will be im mediately taken to carry it into effect. By this plan it is hoped that a very large propor tion of the two years and nine months men just discharged may be induced tore-enlist for the war. These veterans are to be offered, in addition to the one hundred dollars bounty and pay which all the national soldiers re ceive, a bounty of three hundred dollars, and are to form a special corps, distinguished both from conscripts and from other three years men. The Government is to be reimburs ed, man for man, for this three hundred dol lars from the substitute fund to be' raised under the draft, and which by the terms of the act,must be devoted to this purpose. These advantages are to be forfeited in case the men to whom they appeal do not avail themselves of them within a fixed time, which will prob ably be sixty days. The large bounty offered is to be paid in instalments, to suit the con venience of the Government and the wishes of the soldiers. IM PORTANT, [F TRUE The Washington correspondent of the Her ald states that the Vice President of the Rebel Government—Mr. Stephens and Commissioner Ould. came down the James River on board the Rebel gunboat Dragon, on Saturday, under a , flag nr truce, and requested permis• sion of Aactap.i Lee to proceed to Washington, in order to present in person an important communication from Jeff. Davis to President . Lincoln. $900,000 000 300,000,000 Admiral Lee at once dispatched a message to Washington for instructions. A Cabinet meeting was held yesterday morning, and it was decided that permission should not be granted. Admiral Lee was instructed to in form them that the ordinary channels of com munication would Ruffin for the transmission of any message they might have to send to President Lincoln. In the meantime the rebel gunboat had steamed up the James river while awaiting the reply from Washington. The Rev. SAMUEL WEST was very severe on Copperheads and Butternuts, and was in favor of a general hanging as the beet means of get ting clear of them. This WEST, who preaches politics instead of the goqpri, slander instead of charity, bate instead of love, is a type at once of the degra ded secularized clergy and churches, and of the spirit and purposes of abolition fanaticism. Nothing but a wholesome fear of consequences restrains them from putting in practice their satanic threats. Let them beware lest the patience and for— bearance of the de:Nneed — Eecome exhausted and their charity be chnverted into a hatred responsive to their own.

LOWRY, a Black Republican State Senator from Erie county, at a League meeting in Philadelphia alkty days ago, came out with his creed as follows : " This war is for the African and his race. The six hundred colored men who have recent ly fallen have elevated the race. For all I know, the Napolem of this war may be done up in a black package. (Laughter.)

(Laughter and applause.)— The man who talks of elevating the negro would not have to elevate him very mnoli to make him equal to himself." ittiir Hon. George W.
