To the Editor of the Independent: .
You refer to me in your notice, last week;
pf,the Cleveland-CeigYention, and seem to
- think q Should wish; if itily informed, to
Withdraw from that movement. I believe
I am fully informed in regard to it—at least
your article suggests nothing* new to me—
saiehave no wish to withdraw from it. I
ly prefer its platform to that adopted
at Baltimore, and can hardly conceive of
your preferring Baltimore asking half a
loaf to Cleveland asking a whole loaf What
is the precise value from your pen of the
slurring epithet - you bestow on Cleveland,
"unrepresentative," I cannot tell. From •
others I understand it.. But how long have
you thought that legislatures, custom
houses, ward-rooms, and mess-tables, so
entirely monopolize the saints of the nation
that a popular convention is to be scorned
comparison?in Better represent nobody
than represent rebels. Allow me to remind
you how largely the Baltimore Convention
was a snob, coming, nobody knew whence, re
sponsible to none, and only pretending to re
present rebels and states not now in existence,
though even in that crowd of representatives
without constituents no place could be
found for Robert Small and his fellow-heroes
of Carolina. No wonder that such a body,
unlike Cleveland, was unwillhe• to press the
Confiscation law on a President who once
wished to - veto it, and has never put it into
efficient execution. No wonder, speculators
and contractors, they are Willing to leave to
their friend Mr. Lincoln his usurped power
of reconstruction—the roost difficult and
most monstrous question beffire us—whieji
Cleveland so properly refuses to confide to
any lint Congress :Ind the people. The Bal
timore platform has but uric artiolt• ally
meaning or value, that relating to a consti
tutional amendment prohibiting slavery.
That article would never, in laynpiniun , have
been inserted, but jot the pees , ” Qi that
movement which cndut i Bohn! in the w bwetand
Convention. The plan of :unending the Con
stitution wits never suggested by the admin
istration, nor by Congress, nor by any
prominent Republican press. It was first
urged, and has since la•on patiently pressed
on public attention, by those who originated
the Cleveland inoveznent. From them Con
gross borrowed the idea, :111,1 10 their labor
is due the. uccess it has obtained. Purther,
with all the pressure I have alluded to,
liul
timore has not dared to ris,• to the level of
Cleveland, which not only deniands such
an amertsiment, but a further one "0, seen cc
all men absolute Wm, the hoe .-
To the this is the chief gelll of its crown.
There earl be no possible ler the
Union, and no safety for the negro in his
freedom, except on the basis of every Mall
of every race equal in privilege, right, and
franchise bell., the law. This idea,
owes its birth to the movement,
and is, as yet, the high Wafer Mark or
American polities. Neither the adminis
tration, nor Congress, nor any Republican
press or platform ha, sentared claim it.

THE WAB NEWS.
(Froorthe Summary of the Age.)
The Confederate expedition sent across
the Potomac is led by General Early, who
succeeds Ewell in command of Stonewall
Jackson's eelebrated division. The expedi
tion is variously estimated at from twelve
to twenty thousand. There is a large force
of cavalry and artillery with it. It came
from .Winchesterifi the Shenandoah Valley.
.ft . advanced _from there hi...:two columns.
One Mirdied northSt -Harper'S !Ferry,
twenty-miles disffitit; the other nearly north .
eighteen m ile3 to Martinsburg. The Martins-
burg' column found Sigel's advance a few
miles south of Martinsburg. The Federal
soldiers however retreated, and Sigel evac
uated the town. At Martinsburg, in order
to out-maneuvre Sigel, the Confederates di
vided their column ; one part followed Sigel
eastward six miles to Shepherdstown on the
Potomac, eight miles above Harper's Ferry.
The oilier marched northeast ,to Falling
Waters, ten miles above Shepherdstown.
This compelled Sigel to cross the river. He
abandoned Shepherdstown, and went to
Sharpsburg, two miles from the north banh
of the river, and on the Antietam battle
field. One body of the Confederates fol
lowed him. Hearing that the other body
had crossed the river at Falling Waters and
Williamsport near by, and were marching
down towards Sharpsburg, Sigel hastily re
treated southward towards Harper's Ferry.
This left the road into Pennsylvania open,
without a Federal soldier to oppose the
enemy's progress.
The column of the enemy which marched
from Winchester to Harper's Ferry found
the Federal advance at Leetown. A skir
mish took place, and the Federal troops re
tired to Harper's Ferry, and withdrew
across the Totowa , . to Maryland Heights.
They took the supplies in the town with
them, and broke clown the bridges which
cross the river. The confederate:, advanced
to the town, and Occupied it. The river wits
all that separated the two ft trees, each vont
batant being posted on the hills on his side
of the stream. As soon as Harper's Ferry
was reached the Confederates sent a force of
cavalry and artillery ten miles down the
southern baulk of the Potomac, to a place
opposite Point of Rocks. Here the point of
South Mountain juts out to the river, and
tint some distance the Baltimore and I
Railroad runs along the water's edge. The
'onfederates on the southern bank fired on
a passing train, and eoutpelled the aban
donment of that portion of the road. They
(Tossed over, and tore up the track, but
afterwards recrossed, and remained on the
at mthern bank. Their object is to prevent
troops toting sent from Washington along
the railroad to Harper's Ferry. They have
accomplished it.
When our aecounts closed, the following
was the position of affairs: There was a
small Federal garrison on the Maryland
Heights. Sigel With the troops front Mar
tinsburg had just reafthed that place, so that
:ill the Federal troops in that quarter, were
On the north I milk of the Potomac opposite
Harper's Ferry. The 'on federates were in
the town, on the south hank :mil on the hills
around it. A fore was opposite of Point of
Rocks, ten milt, below, and prevented re
trcements being sent from Washington.
A three was at Sharpsburg, six miles north,
another canting towards Sharpsburg
from Falling- Waters. Hagershtwn, ten
miles north of Sharpsburg, had been aban

front s‘ , •retary Stanton auuounced that
general sherman's attack upon the Confed
erate works el Kenesaw Mountain on June
27th, had been repulsed. After his repulse,
(;eueral Sherman gave up the idea of at
tacking Kenesaw Mountain in front, and
began a bank movement around its western
side. For nearly a week the various Fed
eral columos were marching, and at length
I literal Johnston 'abandoned Kenesaw
Mountain and Marietta just south of it,—
He retired to the Chattahoochee river, a few
miles in the rear, where high bluffs and a
deep, wide valley, with a rapid stream in
the centre, will aid his defense. At day
light, the Federal advance captured Kene
saw Mountain, and at eight o'clock they en
tered Marietta. The Confederate retreat
had been successful. They carried all their
baggage with them, and destroyed the rail-
road in their - rear: rThe. Chattahoochee.
River will be the scene of futsne operations.
Sherman must cross it. • -
All idea of any more expedithms west of
the Mississippi seems to have been given
up. General Canby has ordered all the
transports and war vessels from the mouth
of the Red River and Natchez to New Or
leans. The troops left some time since.—
The only post now held by the Federal
troops west of the lower Mississippi, is Lit
tle Rock in: Arkansas. - General Steele is
there with about five-thousand men. It is
supposed, howeVer, that he 811.1 have to
evacuate thetdace. - The Confederates have
cut him off from his - supply post on the
Mississippi, and are cl • • in around Lit
tle Rock. -
There has been an arrival from Charles
ton. The siege progresses y. The
Navy Department is etre ening the
blockading fleet. A monitor, a gate, and
several gunboats have been sen to it. For
ty-five Confederate officers of the rank of
Colonel and under, have been distributed
through the blockading fleet, in obedience
to Secretary Stanton's retaliating order.—
No Confederate general officers, however,
have vet been sent.
The blockade of the Mississippi is still
maintained. On June 26th, the Confeder
ates captured a Federal gunboat in White
River, just above its mouth. Nearly all
the crew of two hundred men were taken
prisoners. Three cannon were taken off the
boat and she was burned.
The President is about to make another
rail for five hundred thousand men. Fifty
days will be allowed for volunteering, and
afterward the draft will begin. The com
mutation clause has been abolished.
General Butler has gone to Fortress Mon
roe with his staff. It is generally believed
that his connection with Grant's army has
ceased.
LATER.
From Thursday's Age
The state of affairs in Western Maryland
is very much as we reported it yesterday
morning. The important fact is developed,
however, that the Confederates intend an
invasion into Pennsylvania, not an attack
upon Baltimore or Washington. General
Sigel, with all the Federal forces in West
ern Maryland, is shut up on Maryland
Heights, and has not been heard from for
forty-eight hours. The Confederate out
posts east of Harper's Ferry are at Point of
Rocks, ten miles south of Frederick, and
Mhhilet4AVll, nine miles west of Frederick.
I;ene Wallace, with a small Federal force,
holds Frederick, hut will abandon it if any
Confederate troops appear, and will retire
three miles, to the Monocaey, a line he can
defend. The Confederates, however, are not
cutting east. Leaving a three to besiege
Sigel, they' have sent :t strong column north
ward. Hagerstown, six miles south of the
Pennsylvania line, was entered yesterday
afternoon. The Federal garrison retired
northward, five miles north of the border,
and eleven south of Chambersburg. Gov
ernor Curtin, in a proclamation issued. last
night, states that the Confederates have
crossed the border, from which we presume
them to lie advancing towards I ;reeneastle.
There are many reports of General Hunter's
arrival at II amt.'', Ferry, and progress front
Western Virginia. None of them, however,
are based upon any reliable intelligence,
and very few agree in detail. We scarcely
see howll ureter, whose advance was seventy
unites south of the nearest station on July I,
could march that distance, and then trans

for this important service. It is apparent
that the enemies of our Government, in des

force, in the hope that the army of General
Grant may be withdrawn from before Rich

Commonwealth, capable of bearing arms,
to come forikard without delay, and thus
aid our heroic brothers in the great army of
the Republic.

HARRISBURG, July 6th, 1564
PENNSYLVANIA, SS.:
A. G. Cunris,
In the name and by the authority of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Andrew
G. Curtin, Governor of the said Common
wealth.
It is now ascertained that a large rebel
force has been detatched front Richmond
and is advancing on the North. So large a
portion of our army is at remote points, that
it becomes necessary to raise immediately a
sufficient body to repel them.. They are al
ready within the borders of the Commtm
wealth. You have always heretotbre been
ready to answer the call of your country.—
You will not be less ready to come forward
when your own homes and firesides are to
be defended against a profligate horde of
plunderers. lam authorized by the Presi
dent of the United States to call for twelve
thousand volunteers (in addition to those
required by my Proclamation of yesterday)
to serve for one hundred days in Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, and Washington and it 4
vicinity. I appeal to the freemen of Penn
sylVania-to arouse themselves for the neces
sary effort, and to come promptly to sweep
the invaders front her soil.
I refer to the General Order issued from
those Headquarters, Pennsylvania Militia,
N 0. . -0, dated .July 1511-1, published with
this proclamation, Mr the details of the ar
rangements. Ido most earnestly desire the
good and loyal men of the Commonwealth,
and especially the veteran soldiers, in all
her borders, to show themselves w,•rthy of
her in this emergency.
Iler sons have established for themselves,
on many a bloody field, a reputation for the
martial virtures which they will not now
forfeit, when both their well-earned tu n ic
and the safety of their homes and families
are at stake. •

Hy the Governor.
Wir The editors and proprietws of
newspapers in New Jersey held a meet
ing a few days since, at which they
agreed to advance the price of all weekly
papers to two dollars a year in advance.
This was rendered absolutely necessary
by the great advance in every kind of
printing material. Most of the news
in this State have done the same thing,
and all that expect to live will be forced
to follow the example.
