Governor Curtin Re-Nominated. The Republican State Convention met at Pittsburg on Wednesday last, and, after an angry discussion, re nominated Governor CURTIN on the first ballot—the vote standing 90 for him to 43 for all others. The Cam eron influence was brought to bear with great virulence against him, and a disastrous defeat was predicted by several of the speakers if he were again placed in the field. That such will be the case we have not a doubt, but the same result would have fol lowed any other nomination. Gov ernor CURTIN is just as-strong as any other candidate named by the Abo lition party, but neither has strength enough to come within fifty thou sand votes of au election. The doom of Republicanism is sealed in Penn sylvania, and nothing can save it from the terrible retribution which awaits it at the hands of a betrayed and indignant people at the ballot box. Hon. DANIEL AGNEW, a Jurist of small calibre who presides in the Common Pleas of Beaver county, and scarcely known out of his dis trict, was nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court. His only re commendation with his party is that he is an out and out Abolitionist of the blackest type, but this will go but a little way in eliciting the favor of the people. He will be worse beaten than CURTIN, and will never be heard of atain after the second Tuesday of October. We shall have more to say of the Abolition nominees hereafter, and shall quote from leading Republican papers to show that they are utterly unworthy the support of the people. In the meantime the Democratic nominees, Messrs. WoonwAnn ,and LOWRIE stand before the people with characters pure and unsullied, no man ever daring to accuse either of them with any dereliction from the path of rectitude and honor. They are both_ gentlemen of great moral worth, of commanding legal and statesmanlike ability, and will reflect credit on themselves and the Com monwealth in the .high .positions to which they are destined to be ele vated 'by the people of Pennsylvania. The Itentticky . Election. As was, expected, the Kentucky election on yesterday week resulted in the election of nearly all the so called Union candidates for Gover nor and Congress. It. could not be otherwise, when we consider that the infamous BURNSIDE issued an order but two or three days. before, the election placing the whole State nu= der martial law, and directing the election officers to permit none to vote but those who sustained the present Administration. The elec tion, under such circumstances, was nothing more or less than a misera ble farce, and shows to what extreme lengths of tyranny and oppression the party in power will go to retain their positions. But we are not without hope that several—perhaps a majority—of the members of Congress elect will be found acting with the conservative party when they get to Washington. They are all natives of Kentucky, we believe, and therefore we can hardly suppose they will play second fiddle to the Abolitionists of Con gress. Time will determine their status in this respect, and their Con gressional course will be looked for ward to with considerable interest. To show that our belief is well founded, we subjoin the following extract from a letter addressed by Mr. BRAMLETTE, the successful can didate for Governor, to the Cincin nati Commercial, in which he corrects the misrepresentations of the Repub licans with regard to a speech he had -made a short time previous at Car lisle, Ky. He says : " I am made to say. in reference to the war policy of the Administration, ' While Ken tucky expressed no opinions, either dissenting from or approving these measures,' &c. At Carlisle, and in every speech made by me elsewhere, I stated, with all the point and distinction I could, that the ' Union Democra cy' of Kentucky condemned, in the strongest terms, all the radical measures of the war policy of the Administration, and were pledged to we all peaceful and legitimate means to correct them ; that they held the Government to be right, and the best Government in the world, and that it should not be overthrown because of any obnoxious measures or policy of any Administration. That they hold that there is a marked distinction between any ad• ministration of the Government and the Gov ernment itself. The one is transient—of short duration, and may be all wrong ; the other was formed to endure forever,' and is all right. " I have said in every speech, without ex ception, and I have been particular .so to do, that I gave my full and unreserved assent to the platform of the Union Democracy' adopted at Louisville,in convention assembled, on the 18th of March." JUDGE WOODWARD The following sketch of Judge WOODWARD was written many years ago, while he was a member of the Convention which framed the State Constitution. He was then only start ing out on his public career, but his brilliant talents had already attracted attention. The high anticipations then made of the man have all been realized, and to-day he stands without a superior in the State on the score of per sonal worth, public virtue, and mental attain ments : "GEORGE W. WOODWARD, OF LUZERNE.- Mr. Woodward, of Luzerne, sits next to Mr. M'Cahen. He is very tall and slender, and very pale. His look, voice and manner indi cate that he is a young man of no ordinary cast, and of his age—fur he is but twenty eight years old—l question whether he has many superiors, either in Pennsylvania, or in the Union. Cool, firm and dignified, the ob- server will at once perceive, when he touches a subject, that a giant's grasp is upon it. His voice is clear and agreeable—his language plain but well chosen, and he possesses that rare : faculty of knowing when to stop, and seldom says either too much or too little upon the theme in discussion. He is always lis tened to with the greatest attention, and the best evidence of the estimation in which be is held may be found in the fact that such men as Chauncey, Hopkinson, Forward, &0., are generally found to overlook others in debate, to grapple with him. To a stranger, Mr. Woodward appears self-poised, cold hearted, and calculating, but in private life he is un derstood to be warm in his attachments, and, probably from precarious health, is subject to great fluctuation of spirits. He is gifted, however, with an unusual share of self-control. He is a lawyer. The political party to which he is attached has reason to be proud of such a member, and constitutional reform has few .\incerer or more powerful advocates." THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE DRAFT TO BE TESTED IN PHILA DELPHIA. A bill in equity has been filed in the Su preme Court of Pennsylvania on the com plaint of William Francis Nichols, a - citizen of the United States and a citizen and resident of Philadelphia. The complainant avers that his rights have been violated and hie personal liberty is about to be invaded by the defen• dante under the pretence of executing the conscription act. That he is advised that this act is in derogation of the reserved rights of the States, and of the liberties and rights of the citizens thereof, and that the same is un constitutional and void, there being delegated by the States and the people thereof to the Federal Government no power to enact such a law. There are other counts in the bill, which concludes with a prayer for a writ of injunction to restrain the defendants from further proceedings with or under said enrol ment, requisition or draft of citizens of Penn sylvania. Messrs. Charles Ingersoll, George M. Wharton and George W. Biddle appear for the plaintiff. No time has been fixed for the argument, ‘vhich will be before a full bench and at an early day. APPREHENDED TROUBLE IN JAPAN. —By way of San Francisco we learn that, on the 18th of June last, the American Minister to Japan, and the Consul at Yeddo, hastily left their residences in that city, with their families, and took refuge on board of an American steamer, fearing assas sination. A bad feeling toward the foreign nations which have been en deavoring to establish commercial intercourse with Japan, has been recently evinced; and it is probabie that there will be trouble before mat ters are arranged on a satisfactory basis. Editors in Luck. COI. ALEXANDER, of the Clarion _Democrat, has been re-nominated for the Legislature. His long and con sistent service to the party, not less than his ability and efficiency as a legislator, render it a deserved com pliment._ A. P. WHITTAKER, Esq., the spicy and popular Editor of the Venango 'Spectator, has been nominated for Register and Recorder of that county. B. F. MEYERS, Esq., of the. Bed ford Gazette, is also nominated for the Legislature. The Louisville Journal re gards the result of the recent elec tion in that State as " a deep warn ing to two Administrations—the one at Washington and the other, at Richmond." A kir° 'r MUD OP BROODY ARISTdda RACY. Demi, Dottatrewri, Esq.,. of Philadelphia, addressed the Gcetheart.rind Diagnothian So , defies of Franklin and Marshall College, of . this city, on the 28th nh., and in: the course of his remarks he gave 'his audience the fol lowing - sketch or - the condition'of society as' now exhibited in- the chief places of resort where:nch "Jaeltitinablett" as-are present on the surface "most do congregate." It is sadly, painfully, lamentably true: " Grief may shed its bitter tears in the silent chamber, poverty may starve in its hiding-place, the patriot may mourn, but no grief, nor fear, nor feeling &Pam to dwell in the public mind or touch the public heart.— This year has been wild with fashion, hilarity and show. Oar Northern cities eclipse the past in gorgeous.dissipation ; more diamonds flash in the glare of the gay saloons ; the gentlemen stop'at no extravagance, and the ladies in full dress powder their hair with gold ; dinners, ball and masquerades, in os tentation and luxuriance, turn midnight into day; prancing steeds and gaudy equipages carry light-hearted loveliness through all the drives of fashion ; stores where jewels, pearls and precious stones, and the rich goods of Europe and Asia are exposed, are crowded with purchasers, and have doubled sales, though gold touched a premium of seventy per cent.; speculators in stooks make fortunes in a day ; palatial stores and marble dwellings are springing from the earth on every side ; resorts of amusement were never so numerous and never so crowded ; prize-fights excite for a time more interest than the battles of the Republic ; thousands of dollars are staked on the favorite of the race ; gambling- hells are wide open to entice to infamy the young; crime is fearfully on the increase ; the law grows impotent, and men who have, by the basest means, defrauded the laborer, the widow and orphans, hold high their heads and go unwhipped of justice." Well might he enquire, "Is all this the ruddy glow of health, or the hectic flush ?" And truthfully does he also say, of politicians, that " becoming millionaires by the war, some of them care not when it ends." From some ugly things he says of Demsterats we perceive that he has forgotten all he ever did know about them ; but he may safely be presumed to know his present political associates very well. PIERCE AND BUCHANAN TO JEFF DAVIS A Vicksburg correspondent of the Cincin nati Gazette, speaking of the capture of Jeff. Davis' private library and correspondence, by a body of our soldiers, says: " Among other things found, there were letters showing that the conspiracy to disrupt the Union had been in existence years before the election of Mr. Lincoln. Letters from Presidents Buchanan and Pierce were dis covered. They show no small obsequiousness toward the mighty Jeff." It is to be hoped that this discovered cor respondence may be published, forming, as it must, a valuable contribution to the history of the rebellion.—.N. Y. Post. We presume the authors of the letters al luded to would not have the least objection to their publication. We do not believe they contain any word or sentiment unbecoming an independent, honorable and patriotic American citizen, and the insinuation to the contrary, by vindictive partisans, le the trick of cowardly calumniators. The fact that among Jeff. Davis' effects was a cane present ed to him by Franklin Pierce, is paraded with great significance, for the purpose of impress ing the public with the belief that the Ex- President approves of Davis' present position, when every candid man will at once admit that in the circumstance there is nothing to excite any special attention, and is only evi dence of ordinary courtesy and kindness existing between a President and a member of his Cabinet. Such contemptible libels as are resorted to by the radicals to injure every one who does not join in their schemes, would be scorned by honest men, but are the very food they feed upon.—Boston Post. "This discovered correspondence " will not be published, as the N. Y. Post pretends to desire. But it is probable that garbled and distorted extracts and pretended abstracts may be—made up with the base view to mis represent and falsify the sentiments f the writers. If there is any thing in the letters that can be used to that end, we may rescue bly expect them to be thus used ; but the writers have nothing to fear from a full pub lication of " this discovered correspondence." If any such has been discovered, it undoubt edly bears date years before the breaking out of the war. A TORY SRN .EIDIENT That paragon of mixed " loyalty" and men dacity, the Harrisburg Telegraph, gives utter ance to the following : " .11 we do not harmonize our diff:irences and concentrate all our forces, the enemies of the Government will succeed in electing Woodward Governor, a result to be estimated as more disastrous to the cause of the country than the defeat of Meade by Lee. Indeed, it would be far better to allow Lee to penetrate Pennsylvania and establish himself in Har risburg, than to allow Woodward to succeed at the ballot-box and then be inaugurated Governor of the State." Such a sentiment, truly observes the Har risburg Union, could come only from the bead of a traitor and the heart of a villain. And yet the owner of the paper is Mr. Lincoln's Postmaster and the editor Gov. Curtin's State Librarian. Is it any wonder the people have lost confidence in Executives who employ such dirty tools? Better that Lee bad defeated Meade than that Woodward should be the Governor! What honorable man —what pa. triotic citizen will indorse the atrocious sent!. ment ? If there is a single man who has any just claims to honor or patriotism willing to do so, we should like to see him. In the mean time we shall cherish the belief that the owner and editor of the Telegraph—Lincoln's Postmaster and Curtin's Librarian—stand alone in their infamy. INSURRECTION IN CALIFORNIA It appears that the officials sent to take possession of the Almaden quicksilver mines in California, were resisted by the miners, armed to the teeth, and fortified to preserve any infringement of their rights. It was not deemed prudent to shed blood in asserting the authority of the General Government over the property, and consequently, by direction of the President, the military force was not brought upon the ground to disposess the miners. Th 3 condition of the class of men who work these mines is very rude, and they are not expected to understand nice points of of law. It has been their custom to resort to the rifle in all disputed matters, rather than to the precedents and judgments of learned Courts ; and it is not an easy matter to convince them of the propriety of so knowledging any other title to the property upon which for many years they have worked, but that which poses.iion gives them. ,W 2 JOHN A. MAGEE, editor of the Perry County .Democrat, has been re. nominated for the Legislature in the Perry district. Mr, Magee served with great ability last winter, and his constituents justly rewarded him by a re-nomination for the same po sition. We hope that instead of hav ing seven he will have seven hun dred majority. A NEW 'COUNTY PROJECT DEFEATED —At the last session of our State Legislature, a bill was passed erecting anew county out of the northern part of Luzerne, to be called Lackawanna. The Seal decision of the ques tion, however, as a recent amendment to ours Constitution requires, was left to a vote of the people of Luzerne county, to be taken at a special election. ' That election was held on the 21st ult., and the result is a majority ,of 3,737 against. •the' oounty. The vote stood, 3, 350 for, and 7,187 against it. • SokTtkp tiiimPUBLICA.N SLAVERY. The freednin-shriekers, the men who brought upob the Country this awful war, and all the ruin, blefid, suffering and ivoe - resulting from out of pretended sympathy for the,slave _ . and.-tietestation of slavery ; -- this , :,party'have , . alreadY begun to enslare the neiroe' herein the 'North I And there is little doOtt that 'WS ehadl yateee a system of slavery bt.ieteo etf:itiek as oppt4isiVe to the negro as titiffrom Wch they are liberating him at such a terrible cost of blamrand treasure. A correspondent of the Newark Journal, writing from Orange County, New York, makes the following statement Four farms are worked" in this town by slave labor, Instead-of slavery. being;abolish ed in the Southern States. this war is plant ing it on Northern soil. From the window by which I write, I can see a New York slave at work. The farmer pays. a Government agent fifteen dollars, and two contrabands, male and female, are sent him, and he owns them ab solutely body and soul, fortwo years,. and, (quoting from Seward's bell ringing speeeh) " No power on earth except the President of the United States can release them." To effect this, families that once lived together on a -Southern plantation are now divided. The children, so the Republicans say, are to be educated, and when old enough to work, bound out, and as the grown-up negroes can not get a living of themselves, they must work under an "instructer " for two years, after which they may get wages if they can. Other Republicans than the four that I know of are about to buy slaves for two years and die charge their white laborers. They say they would be doing injustice to themselves not to u.e the means that God and Abraham now offer them to till their farms, as white labor is hard to be got, and after the draft will be still more scarce. How the negroes' condi tion is much bettered, I can't see, but as the government must be supported, I have noth ing to say. DISAFFECTION IN NORTH CAROLINA The disaffection of North Carolina to the Richmond government, so long indicated has taken a bold phase in the recent declarations of the Standard, the leading paper of Raleigh, the capital. It openly denounces Jeff. Davis as a repudiator, in whom no confidence can be placed, and whose efforts to establish a Southern confederacy will be a failure. Ip re ply to the Richmond Enquirer, which calls upon Jeff. Davis' " to suppress the Raleigh Standard and wipe out the Supreme Court of North Carolina," the Standard says that Gov ernor Vance will stand by the Supreme Court, and that if Jeff. Davis attempts to use phys ical force to suppress the Standard, he will be met with physical force, and a revolution in the State will be the result. The Standard also says that North Caro& has furnished ninety five thousand soldiers for the causeless war, forty thousand of whom are killed and wounded ; and that she should send a delegation to Washington at once, and see what terms can be obtained, and not wait for Jeff. Davis. TERRIBLE EVENT IN NORTH CARO LINA. The correspondence of the New York Her ald, describing the late cavalry raid under Gen. Potter, from Newberg, N. C., to Rocky Mount and Tarboro, and the destruction of a vast amount of rebel property at the former, and.of the bridge at the latter place, states that the order to fire the bridge was given too soon. A large number of contrabands had just got over, many were still on the bridge, and many were on the other side, all eager to join our column and flee from their masters in Dixie. Some of our own men were also on the other side, but, with a few exceptions, they contrived to make their escape. When the burning bridge, fell it is feared it carried into the stream below, or consumed in the vain effort to extricate themselves, between five and six hundred poor negroes. The rioor negro suffers everywhere at the bands of his philanthropid friends. They steal him from his happy home, force him into the army, put him into the front ranks and drive him upon the batteries and bayonets of the enemy. At Port Hudson, a negro regiment was placed in front in the assault ? and driven on, by friendly bayonets behind, to the terrible slaughter which met them. The same was done in the assault upon Fort Wagner near Charleston, with the Massachusetts negro regiment; the Boston Journal's account says " regulars were stationed behind to shoot all runaways, and five were thus killed." This is the "freedom" which abolition philan— thropy secures to the poor negro, after making hie alleged wrongs the means and occasion of plunging the country into this terrible war. THE BLACK B EIGADE It is announced by the special correspon— dent of the N. Y. Tribune at Washington, that " Adjutant General Thomas will itnmedia lel), return to Vicksburg and the lower Mis— sissippi to prosecute the work of organizing colored troops, so auviciously commenced by him." How " auspiciously " the work has been commenced we shall let a correspondent of a Chicago paper tell. He writes from Vicks— burg, under date July 24th, as follows : "Emancipation is beginning to 'plague the inventors.' Black igades are foileres, whatever may be written to the contrary.— About 5.000 black soldiers are in this depart meet. They are wholly inefficient—if for no other reason—for lack of MATH and,disciplinc They are neglected at Washington. They are not properly organized here. Their officers are scarcely recognized at present, and left without the means of doing more. Nearly a thousand men were brought from Natchez last week. Gen. Grant orders that none but men fit fir duty he accepted at present, and that the others be notified that they aro free, but advised to stay with their former masters and earn a living, until he can nroVide for them. Probably not less than 12 MO women, children and men unfit" fir duty are now here, and daily fed at Government expense ! What shall be dune with them ?" FREEDOM. FOR THE NEGRO The N.Y.Post, in descanting over the probable effect of war upon slavery, very safely comes to the conclusion that it may still survive the " irrepressible unflict" which Lincoln & Co., are waging, and says : "If slavery is to be continued in this coun try, we want the Irish and Catholics to take the place of the negroes, and let the mere in telligent and more virtuous blacks be libera ted." The people of Ireland immortalized their love of liberty by a long list of patriots in the contest which freed us from the inset lence'and tyranny of England. With the first cry of liberty they aroused themselves kr battle, and in every plan wherever and whenever the cry to arms has been heard, either to win or save the independence of our country, Irishmen " Have pour'd their blood like ruby wine On Freedom's altar shrine." It is this people the " Post" propose to enslave in order that the negroes may he free. What philanthropists these Republicans . are. Guy. ANDREWS. 900,000 NOT DisPoeED TO Go.—The draft is but the merest farce in some of the New England districts. For example, in the Fourth (Boston) district the whole number examined week before last was 1,135, of whom 937 were exempted, 70 paid three hundred dollars, which makes 1,007 that got clear, 108 offered substitutes, and ten were passed as fit for duty. Thus, lees than one in a hundred of the original conscripts go into the army; and this; too, in a section of country that only required the recognition of the negro to "otiose every road leading to the National Capital to swarm with recruits."— At this rate it will require ninety millions of -conscripts to obtain the ."nine hundred thou `sand meti" so -enthusiastically. -promised Father Abraham by the Rs:dioals.

I vanes, at Ilarriaburg, to relation to the city's excess. It appears that Cl. Ii re volved an answer to hes Inquiries iron headquarte at Washington. Provost Marshal General Fry says: "When the fact is shown that the city of Lancaster has actually fornilhod a greater number of men than has been called for lip to the time of ordering thu draft, au equal number may he discharged ; bet until that fact is proven, no ac• Lieu ran be taken " Gs,mcz M buss, Peg, and CHARLES It l'asazzr, Erg, Ms 3 or's Clerk, proceeded to Harrisburg yesterday, by re quest of Mayor Sanderson—the latter gentleman having received 4 despatch frogs Gov. Curtin, requesting his at tendance at that city, with the noc-seary documents in reference to the city's excess. The Mayor was unable to gu himseP, but deputized those gentlemen, who are CAT prepared with the necessary proofs, Se. , to establish the just,ce of the city's claims. A cans precNely similar fr, *that of Lancaster hag been brought to the attention of the authorities at Washington, with favorable results, as we learn from the following Item among the telegraph news "The Bon Alfred fily, of New l'ork, has presented to the War Department the claims of the corporation of Rochester and the 281t1 Cons groasianef District, to be Credited on the present draft in his district with the excess of men tarnished by it on former quotas. It is understood that the Department se ceded to the alto-canoe claimed, and that the order will apply to other ximilar cases." FURNACE BLOWN IN.—Ovger'e Furnace, in the i.outbern part of the city, which has been lying idle for a number of years, was blown in last week, and DI new in full and successful operation.

POLITICAL.—The address of GEORGE Nat• araw, Jr., Esq., before the Democratic Central Club. on Thursday evening Nat, was a tine effort, and, notwith standing the intense beat of the weather. was attentively listened to by a crowded audiem.e. Mr. N's speeches are always characterised by sound, practical sense and strong reasoning sod argument Mr JtMEB B Zucca); of York, followed Mr Nauman in a brief and truly eloquent addre•e. We presume, as Mr. Z 1a a very young man, that thin wan hie first political speech. We Judge then, from his maiden einrt, that he will become an able, eloquent and accomplished orator, and doubtless hen a brilliant future before him. The Glee ( bib were p'ecent, and performed their parts admirably. Thin has become quite an loatitntion. Mr. DAMIXI. E SCH(EDLIII will address the Club on Thurs day evening next, at 8 o'clock, in the English language. A Democratic meeting will be held on Wednesday, Avg mit 12th. at 7 O'clock, P. NI, at the public hose of Mr. George Diller, in the village of intercom's., which will be addreened by-J. W F Swim Eeq ,of this city. The Democracy of Providence township will meet at the publir home of Mr. Cyrus Winters, Elickory Grove, on Saturday, August 22d, at 1 o'clock, P. M. Several addresses will be delivered. The proceedloge of the Democratic meeting at Elizabeth tewn, on the evening of the Bth inst., came to band too late for this Issue. They will appear In our next. Home ON a FCTRLOUGH.—We had the plea sure, on Friday last, of taking by the hand our old and esteemed friend, Lt. Col. nannies 9 PYYSR, of the 77th Regiment, who had Jost returned on a furlough of twenty days from Gen. Rosecrans' army. The Col. Is looking well and Is In buoyant spirits. He has the reputation of being one of the most gallant and accomplished officers in the iionthwestern service. He looks every inch the soldier. Capt. Jones C SEIROAD, commanding Col Pyfer's old nom. penv, accompanied that officer home. Capt. S. left,here as Ordetly Sergeant of the company, and by brave and meritorious conduct alone has succeeded to the command. Ho Is a Due officer, and highly esteemed by the officers and men of the 77th. Mu. 'D. E. SCREDLER, the Berke County Orator, is again in this city, where he will have his bond quarters until the present campaign is over, and whereat! three wishing to communicate with him will please ad. dress him. Comtarc Hous.—Col. Franklin's Regiment has been ordered to this city, where they will be mustered out of service and discharged. it le understood toat they will ba here as soon as the proper transportation can be obtained, which may be lu . a day or two. BLACKBERRY SYRUP.—We are indebted to our good friend Capt Haase SLASMAKER, Agent for the celebrated Reig - art's Old Wine Store, No. SI East King et, far a bottle of tile delicious Blackberry Syrup. It Is a most excellent medicinal beverage for di:mares, &c., and the Captain, although making a large quantity of the article every year, le scarcely able to supply the demand. STATE SENATORSHIP.—/YESST3. Editors: As the Democratic County Convention trill soon be bold, it is not unadvisable for us to begin considering who should be candidates for the various positions to be filled, but the importance of having a good selection for the office of State Senator cannot be overrated. We need talent, ability and integrity; a man whose patriotism and regard for the true welfare of the country has not been sunk In the uncondi tional loyalty of Abolitionism. We need one who will be a tine and undoubted representative of Democratic policy ; for with that he will be Identified with the only policy that can save the nation. HENRY SHAFFNER, of AiollOt Joy Borough, combines the requisites for the place. He is honest and incorruptible; a fearless, unalloyed and undoubted Democrat; a fluent and ready debater, and having a sound judgment and good, practical sense. His sterling character and fine social qualities have won him, hosts of admiring friends and made him deservedly popular. He Is emphatically "a man among men," and if selected to fill the position wonli do so with honor to himself, credit to the party, and advan tage to the public interests. J. Atolls'. JOY, Aug. llth, 1863. A WORD IN REPLY TO AMOR PATRIA: - There appeared in the Express of Wednesday eve ning last the first of a " series of letters of caution " to the Irish Catholics in the United States. The author is impelled to give the deluded countrymen and women of his ancestors the benefit of his experi ence by the reason that they are about to be misled by "wicked and designing politicians, demagogues, 'and base traitors," and asks to be heard upon the 'ground that he came very nearly being an Irish Catholic himself. The only little difficulties which prevented him honoring the Island and ornament ing the Church are acknowledged to have been the Blight accident of birth on the American shore of the ocean, and another (an inferential reason) that it would not have been half so profitable an invest , ment to have adopted the stubborn and antiquated belief of his ancestors! There is no doubt that the Irish Catholics will look forward most anxiously for each succeeding letter of the series. Always gener ous, it will fill their hearts to overflowing to know that in their benighted condition one disinterested, unprejudiced pen is being employed to instruct and elevate them! '1 hey will doubtlessly see in the very signature over which this "series of letters" are to be written the sufficient proof that the author is of that magnanimous stamp of men,-hitherto supposed to be the peculiar product of Now England, who are not of the chary, stupid set who must be asked for their commiel before they will think of offering it.— Anon PATEtuE falls on the ear with a tenderness which cannot fail to interest the undutiful Irish boys and girls, and will moreover increase their ad miration for the depth and solidity of the forthcom ing series of letters, convincing them that their in structor knows a thing-or two, that he has made sufficient exploration of the classics to enable him to get the right verb and the proper inflection of the noun. It is unfortunately the case that the mere pro fessed object of an individual corporation, or par'y does not in all oases carry with it conviction. 'I he history of mankind seems to justify the suspicion which men naturally have of each other, and it is more than probable that that suspicion will not be obliterated until poor humanity is elevated into that sanctified sphere enjoyed by that happy class of men of which AMOR PATRIR is the type. Here might be recalled a familiar instance mentioned in an old and much reverenced book proving that Aaron Perim& had an example as long ago as when Chris tianity's beautiful light broke upon the world: There were two individuals who went up to She tem ple to pray • the one was very well satisfied with himself, and thanked God he was not like other peo ple. The other man seems to have been pretty well convinced that he , was no better than he ought to be, and so stood afar off asking forgiveness. We com mend to the serious study of AMOR PAMIR the ex ample of the latter individual. A few hours of meditation on this subject we. turtie no doubt will fully convince him that there is an ample field for labor at his own door, without obtruding his advice upon a people whose countryman and co-religionist he might have been had he been born on the other shore of the ocean. But under all the blandness ao studiously assumed in the first letter of the series we think the true ob ject is apparent. Over the whole North the Aboli tion press have given unmistakable evidence of their disposition to revive the days of 1844 and of 1854 and 1855. The Tribune and TIM'S of New York, the North American and Press of Philadelphia have sounded the key-note, and we should be our priced if our own intense pen-and-ink patriot of the Express did not joln in the chorus Perhaps Amon PATILLE has some reminiscences of '44 or '54 which would make an association in a revived proscription quite a familiar and an agreeable work. Be per haps has penetrated the purlieus of the oily with his dark lantern that the countrymen of his fathers might be deprived of privileges he by accident fell heir to. To be eharitable, we will even suppose that this loving patriot did not conspire against the political and religious privileges of the Irish Catho lics, still the question would remain, by what right he assumes to advise a people who have shown their devotion to the laws of the land on every battle-field from the first Ball Run down to the victory of Get tysburg? By what specious pretexts are the mem ories of thousands of Irish Catholic dead filling the trenches on every field to be questioned and Insulted by stay-at-home, street-corner patriots. • The poor Irishman, no matter bow freely and bravely he may pour out his blood in attestation of his fidelity to the laws of the land, beams destined never to escape the pen of the libeller, the knavery of the demagogue, and the bbrotry of the political preacher. The lines are as true to-day as when they were first written. Be is still " the victim of that canting crew, So smooth, so godly,—yet so devilish too; Who, arm'd at once with prayer-books and with whips, Blood on their hands, and Scripture on their lips, Tyrants by creed, and torturers by text, Make this life hell in honor of the next." If leisure should be ours we propose following AMOLL Parana through the series he is about giving to the public. Yours, at August 8, 1863. • THE COST OF DRAFTING AND ITS RE- The Hartford Times makes the annexed estimate of what the draft will cost : 3 r ) m. .840 • 4 9.00 • 4 .725 '• .2-21 p m. .548 • • .G. 03 `• It requires about 30,000 men to make the present draft all over the country—enrolling officers, assis tants, boards of examination, icc., and so on. These cost the Government, in salaries, about eight times the amount paid to soldiers. Multiply 30 000 by and we have 240 000—or in other words, the means to pay 240.000 comm •n soldiers, as long as the army of enrolling and drafting officers. with their assistants, are continued in office. In addition to this expense in carrying on the draft, the Provost Marshals have " guards," and more than 50,000" Invalid Soldiers " are distributed over the country to aid in enforcing the draft. Most of these are able bodied soldiers, fit for duty in the field. It is evident that the cost of the draft, with the Provost Guards, is equal to the pay of an army of 300,000 men through the present year at least. The N. Y. Times supposes the whole number of men called for under the draft is 450 000. Judging from the results thus far experienced at least one third of this whole number, and probably more will secure exemptliin by payment of $3OO each. This will yield not far from fifty =idioms of dollars, which makes the conscription law appear more like a revenuttmeasurc than to procure soldiers.

The laboring men of the North do not yet realize the stupendous blow which has been struck at their interests by the fanatics who compose and support this Administration.— What does the separation of this country, which Mr. Lincoln and his crazy party are endeavoring to bring about, involve_? We-un derstand; and are, now beginning . - -to feel, a portion of the_punishment which tbiti. terrible war will inflict upon uti:. We aretated equal to the debt.ridden-subjects at Eighth(' already. Every breath we draw pays tribute to the foul scheme of " wiping out the South." On all we eat, drink, wear, see, feel or enjoy, on the very blessings for which our fathers fought and died that we might inherit—the blessing? of "life, liberty, - and the pursuit of happi ness "—the stamp of war taxation is placed, and, like a moral plague-spot, Stares us in the face and sickens us to the soul. The poor workingmen know that, from now onward, of every dollar they get, at least one-third will go to pay the interest on the war debt, and to this extent will they be cut short of the neces sities of life on a limited expenditure. -I mean to say that it will cost the poor man one-third. more to live ; his groceries, his clothes, his shoes, the school books he gets for hie little ones, will increase at that rate.-through the terrible infliction which fanaticism has brought upon us. But there is another feature not yet reveal ed to the poor man. What is to be the price of labor when peace comes, and the total pros tration of the o•ountry sets in ? Remember, my hard-working friend, that the tax must be paid. Your table and mine, your wardrobe and mine, your humble cot and mine, upon which we rest our weary limbs after a day of toil, all must be made to give to the treasury of the country a portion of its cost. How do you expect to keep employed, when the coun try is divided and the South witholds her purchases from the North, and obtains them from Europe ? How are you to afford to pay enormous taxation, with a diminish d income? But I hear the ignorant Abolition fanatic say, " The North can take care of herself ; let the Union slide, and the business of the South go with it ; the North is rich in resources."— Rich in resources ! How long would Stewart sustain his marble palaces on Broadway, if his customers left him? And if hie custo mers did leave, how long would he employ his hundreds of clerks, porters and draymen, and the scores of mechanics who are already em ployed in consequence of the sales of his dry goods to the extent of millions ? Now, my honest workingman, I tell you that if the South, through the f•tnatioism of the war party, is forced out of this Union. the North is commercially ruined. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, the manufacturing towns of New England and those of the Northern States, our shipping interests, our insurance companies, our commission houses, our wholesale merchants—all are swept away as by a huge wave. The hum of industry, the sound of the axe and the anvil, the loom and the spindle, will be heard no more for ever, and the grass will obliterate many a mile of iron track over which to day is trans ported tons of material, fabricated by north ern brains and northern hands. The man who sneers at the idea that the South have mainly contributed to the success of the North, and denies that out of Southern wealth have come Northern profits, that the four millions of Southern slaves have mainly kept the ships, the manufacturies, the work shops, the stores, the hotels, and the railroads of the North profitably employed for the past fifty years, is an ignoramus, who never studied the trade statistics of his country. Who em ploys northern ships? The North owns 80 per cent of the tonnage of the country, the South only 16 per cent, and the West 4 per cent. The products of the South furnish six• sevenths of the freight to Europa for these ships,our own N irthern productions only one seventh, and such has been the proportion for the past fifty years. In 1859 the entire earn ings of the Northern ebips were $2B 000 000, of which Snit'vra nr ' , loots paid $24 500,000, Northern prAucts $2,000,000, and Western products $1,500,000. Take away all this. wipe out these freight and commercial results, let northern com merce and northern mannfactures be support ed by northrin pr. duets and northern con sumption solely, and what will be the condi— tion of the pour man here? Does he not at once comprehend that a diminished sectional business on Lind, and a loss of the ocean car— rying trade, will reduce his labor, and the price of it also ? Is the poor man, the laborer in the North, not interested in the fact that we have hitherto sent into the South of our domestic: goods, $240 000 000 per year? of our imported goods, $lOO,OOO 000 perlear ? Is it a matter of no colisequence to us that they (the southerners) have paid us in interest and brokerage, $62 300,000 per year ? that they have paid our hotels, and railroads, and shops and fashionable watering places, $55,000,000 per year, and still keep on prospering in the North, as of old ? What will be the fate of New England and her manufacturing classes after the South are " exterminated ? Her surplus manufactures, in times of peace, foot up $200.000 000 per year. If the &nth does not buy her usual proportion of this surplus, New England is ruined ; for the balance of the northern States are yearly adding to their manufacturing in terests, the West especially is yearly less de pendent upon its neigh bunt. In twenty years the great West, which has largely contributed to the profits of New England, and other northern manufacturing States, will be inde pendent of all outside support in that line, for notwithstanding her immense agricultural resources, she is rapidly developing a manu facturing interest which will soon meet all her necessities. In 1860 the West reported a manufacturing interest of $139.000,000 per year, and the past ten years have given it a great impetus, an increase of many millions. Not only will New England terribly suffer from the results of this unholy crusade against the South, but our own State, and with it our great and lead ing commercial emporium, New York city, will have the main source of its commercial glory tapped at the foundation, the result of which roust be to impoverish labor here to a degree never witnessed in this country.— When we investigate this commercial question the results are startling. In the past seventy years, the mere customs collected from the South and West, a large Proportion of which have been disbursed at the North, foot, up one thousand one hundred mil lions of dollars. The fisheries of the Eastern States drew $5 000,000 as bounties paid out of the Federal Treasury, to the date of the abolition of thot,e bounties. The mere profits to the North growing out of the trade connec tions with the South. are figured through a dozen sources, which have been alluded to during the discussion of this subject, at $232,. 000,000 per year. Are. the poor men of the North not interested in this profit? If it is lost, will they not feel it ?—.N: Y. Caucasian. DISASTER ON THE HMIS STPPI Sr. Loots, August 5, 1663. Major Febiger, Wet of the pay department of Mississ.ppi, has just received a telegram stating that the steamer Ruth, which left Vicksburg on Monday morning, wee burned a few miles bolow Cairo last night, and the boat and cargo were entirely<oott• sumed. Major Greenwalt, paymaster, and three clerks, were lrst, and several other paymasters, on their way to Grant's army, escaped only with the clothes on their backs. Two million and a half of dollars in Government funds were consumed • Many lives were lost. The above are the only particulars that have yet been received. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS CAIRO Atprust 5, 1863.- The steamer Rath, valued at $lO 000; was burned last night, at midnight, at the foot of Island No. 1. She was bound for ilelena, and had on board eight paymasters and their clerks, with $260,000 in 'green backs' to pay General Grant's army. Altogether about thirty lives were lost. The boat had on board ninety-nine head of beef cattle, one hundred and twenty mules, four hundred tons of commissary and sutlers' stores, and about one hun dred tons of private freight, which were lost There were about two hundred persons aboard. The boat was insured for $5OOO. The fire broke out in the att pert of the boat—some say between decks, others in the nursery rooms. As son as the fire was dis covered the boat was headed for the shore, on the Missouri a de, and struck the bank with full force, the fire having driven the engineers from their posts, and the engines consequently continuing to .work. As soon as she struck, a number jumped ashore, but her stern soon swung round down stream, and as the engines were still working, bet how was turned from the shore, and she again started down the river. When she left the shore about thirty persons. were on board, nearly all of whom mast hare per ished. ainm IN lOWA. - Muscernm. lOWA, August 4th The Journal of this morning has the following A collision occurred on Saturday between the red. ioal Democrats and Abolitionists. at South English, Keokuk county.
