FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR: X J: NEWELL, FOR COUNTY AUDITOR: G. R. ACKOYD. HON. DAVID WILMOT. The Manch Chunk (Carbon Co,) Gazette, iu un urtiele relating to Senator Wilmot, says: —" llis worst enemies are obliged to concede to him honesty of purpose, end integrity of character. As a member of the bar DAVID WILMOT has few equals. He is an earnest worker ; a powerful thinker and an able ad vocate. Courteous to his opponents, itidefati guablo in his industry, and prolific in resources be wins the good opiuiou of both parties, plaintiff and defeudaut. As a Judge, no onedoubts his ability. His legal acquirements are audi as eminently fit him for the bench, and although considered a leader of his party ; no oue never accused him of allowing his political opinions or perjudices to influence his decisions, lie carefully list ens to the facts in each case which comes be fore him, and to those l'ucts applies the rule of law, and gives his decision as he believes justice requires, regardless of persoual likes ur dislikes, without fear favor or affection. As a citizen he is universally respected.— Generous to a fault, he is always liberal iu his donations to every charitable project. Affa blejiu his manners, and obliging in his disposi tion, he has the confidence und respect of all who knew him intimately. As a statesman, he has aivvays been consist ent and adhered to the same principles which now actuate him. Ilis history is a part of the history of our country ; and posterity will point him out as oue of the few who have never changed his principles for the sake of office. The author cf the famous Wilmot Proviso, he was feared by Southern politicians ; and their allies iu the North waged unceasing- war upon liirn, auti forced him for some years to retire to private life. The slave power could neither buy,uor force him into the support of their measures, as he preferred to be right, rather than to be the holder of au oifice and be wrong. The people of his judicial district knowing his worth anci his abi! ties, placed him upon the bench, and when the rebellion brol co.t and people began better o appreciate his foresight and his wis dom, l.c was elected by the legislature to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of MR CAMEROX. Since taking his seat iu tl e Senate, his course has beeneutirely in keeping with his former well known principles. lie has given his unqualified support to the Admin istration in its efforts to put down this rebel lion. He is never found absent from his seat, when an importaut measure is to be voted up au ; never shriuks from doing his duty, uo matter how its discharge niny affect his politi eal prospects in the future. For the ability, integrity and industry with which he has performed his work, Judge W ii, MOT is entitled to the thanks of a loyal people." B&T (JRAM) NEW NAVAE AND MILITARY MAY OF THE I MTEIT STATES. —We have been shown by Mr. M. F. FISIJER, agent fof this County, a new and splendid map of the United Stales, including all of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, the settled parts of the Canadas and British Columbia, Mexico, all the Central American States, and the West Indies. It claims to be more complete aud valuable than auy map yet issued \ while, with the expectation of a large gale, it is placed at a less price than any recent Map of equal value. Particular attentiou is called to the following feature.?: It contains the results of the recent topo graphical County and State Maps maje from actual surveys throughout the Northern states, to a great extent as yet unpublished. As the maps were made by surveying the roads by course and distance, the results are of course in the highest degree reliable. b rom the Departments at Washington the autoor hu9 i.td the most liberal access to re cent Government maps. The levels of the Pacific Railroad route are in advance of offi cial publication, and the Western Territories are faithfully delineated from Governmeut maps, lhe admirable Coast Survev is the basis of the coast hao. lhe Southern States embrace the material furnished to the Board of Trade by the Presi deuts of every railroad iu the South just pre \ious to the war, and now issued by request of General McClellau, and distributed to the military officers of the army and to the com manders of the gulf squadron for Government use. The seats of war will be found delineat ed with especial care and fidelity. While iu the body of the Geographical portion this map challenges comparison with auy map ever issued, io all the details of ac curacy and execution that make a map valu able, it preseuts additional attractions, and new material showing the settlement of the Western Territories, not to be found in any other. The great subject filling the minds of our citizens is the suppression of the present unuatural rebellion, and it is around this thai all public interests center. On this map will be found portraits of the civil officers, the heroes, and the martyrs of the war, iu a series of thirty fine steel eugravings, embodied in a new medalliou border. The census is published in advance of the Issue by the Department, and will be found of great interest. Numerous additional statistics have been added. The Time Dial indicates the time at the difllrcut cities of the Uuion when it is noon at the Capitol ; in other words, the difference iu time f. orn Washington. 13y this Dial the difference i:i time between any two points of the Union may be easily calculated, while the number of miles cau be seen at a glance ou the distance table. The Level of the country through to the Pacific Ocean is shown with the floor of the Atlantic, on which it is proposed again to lay the great Transatlantic cable. To those having relatives or friends in the great army of the Union —and who has not ? —this map forms a present guide to the great histoiioal events now being eLactcd, and a most ornamental memorial of the suppression of "The Great Rebellion of 1861." The likenesses of those who have successfully sav ed our honored institutions from destruction, aud our country from anarchy, will here be bauded down to the next generation. This Map is furnished at the remarkable low price of seven dollars, and no family should be without one. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. The news from the seat of war iu Virginia is exciting and satisfactory. The fighting was renewed on Saturday betweeu General Pope and the enemy, who had 'oeeu considera bly reinforced. The battle was a severe one, the rebels gaining the advantage and compell ing General Pope to fall back to Centrevilie, which lie did in good order. Franklin's corps reached him at this point on Saturday even ing, and General Sumner's division was rap idly marching up to joiu him. lie was expect ed to make at other assault on the enemy on Monday morning, with the fresh troops thus added to his army,but the latest reports stats that there was very little fighting, not more tbau an occasional skirmish. The position of General Pope is represented as the strongest in the vicinity of Washington. Rebel scouts had penetrated as far as Langley's station, in the vicinity of Chain Bridge, ou Friday ; but it is said tbut all necessary precautions have been taken to prevent a surprise of the capital in that direction. The disposition of our forces and the sever- I al commands of onr Generals are officially au | t.ouncea by the War Department to be as ful- I lows : Geu. Burnside commands his own corps, ex cept those troops that have been temporarily detached and assigned to Geu. Pope. Geucr al McClelian commands that portion of the Army of the Potomac that has been sent fo:- ward to General Pope's command. Generl Pope commands the Army of Virginia and all tie forces temporarily attached to it. All the forces are under the command ol Major Gene ral llalleck, General in-Chief. Our news from the West is important. Our troops uuder Geu. Munson had a heavy brush with the enemy near Rogersville,Kentucky,ou Friday and Saturday, which resulted in heavy loss ou both sides. Oar fourees were compelled to fall back three miles and form anew line of battle ou an elevated ground. The rebels fol lowed, and after a severe artilery fight,turned the riget ii nx of theF uiou force,who itnmedi ately retreated. General Nelson having come up endeavored to rally the men, but being wounded at three o'clock in the afternoou the troops again fell back to Lexington. The number of rebels engaged in these actions was between fifteeu and twenty thousand. Our forces comprised sis infantry regiment and two squadrons of cavalry, supported by artillery. Generals Wright and Wallace have ieft Ciu ciimati to reinforce the troops at Lexington. Colonel Fitch, of the Sixty-fourth Indiana regiment, in a letter to General Haileck,dated from H dena, Arkansas, positively denies the charge made by the rebel Genera! Lee that he had hanged two citizens of the South, held as hostages in his hands. lie says that, although many of this class might have deserved such a fate, none of them were submitted to it by his orders. FAY OF OURSOLDIKRS. —No soldiers in the world were ever paid so liberally as those now in the service of the L'nited States,|leavingout of ths question the bounties paid them as re cruits and the land donation which the govern ment is sure to bestow npon tbera at the close of the war. The soldiers of Rome, who con quered the world, got eight cents a day. The English soldiers only get a shilling a day,while the French soldiers gets even less. The bounty given to the American volunteer is nearly as much as the earnings of an English soldier for three years. This sum is earned by the Amori CUD soldier the very day 1H! euhsts. The pay given to our troops should, and we think will, lead to a large emigration from Europe. At no former time has the Model Republic offered such magnificeut induceuieut to the man of toil as at this very moment. The bounty,pay and laud given to our troops make their earn ings for the first year nearly six hundred dol lars, which is equal to two dollars per day L Any mau can lay up money now who wishes to. There is no excuse for idleness. Till the war is over such a thing as waut should be un kuowu to any man in health. Republican Co. Convention.

Resolved, That we acknowledge but two divisions of tiie people of the United States IU this crisis ; those are ioyal to its constitution and every inch of its soil,aud are ready to make every sacrifice tor the integrity of the : Union, and the maintenance of civil liberty within it.aud ; those who openly or covertly endeavor to sever our ; country, or to yield to the insolent demands of its | enemies ; that we fraternize with the former, and detest i the latter ; and that, forgetting all former party names 1 and distinctions, we call upon all patriotic citizens to I raily for one undivided country, one (lag, one destiny.

The Convention, on motion, then adjourned. The Grand Opportunity. The following article from the Boston Jour nal is to the point, and strikes with force.— Youog meu, read it : We ofteu think as we look on the multitudes of hale young men, without families, who are thronging our streets and tilling up every place of amusement, whether they are eouscious that in rejecting the invitations to join the army of the Union, they are letting slip a grand op portuuily for which they may feel deep regret und chagrin hereafter. However they may have dulled the sensibilities of youth, theu hearts still warm at the memory of the great ages and actious of the past. Can they read the pages of Bancroft, Prescott, or Morley, or the stories of the memorable epoch of Euglaud aud France and not feel the wish that they, too, had lived in the heroic times when immor taPhonor was won? And can they noijsee that precisely such limes are now passing around them? Never in the history of this country, at least, were there such abundant chances for gaining honorable distinction as are now open ed up to every young mau of strong arm and clear head and of ambition fit for anything iu this life. And hereafter, when the Union shall have risen redeemed aud renewed from this hup tisui of blood, how will these delinquents feel ? Will they want to rehearse to their children any of the stirring passages of this drama which will theu have almost supeieeded iu iu tcrest the story of theUlevolution of '7O? "Did }ou ever see a battle?" " What part of the army were you iu ?" "W hat ? a miliiou of soldiers called for, and you not go at all— why ?" Who wishes, iu his declining years, to face a battery of such questions ? But it is not alone iu domestic circles that the heavy penalty of present recreancy will have to be paid. We may be sure that hereafter, in polities, in business, aud iu the regards of the community, a wide distinction will be drawn, separating from all others the young man who had no valid excuse for staying away from this war and yet did so. Common rectitude und common sense require that this should be so.— \\ hat, tin country iu imminent peril and sav ed only by the blood of thousands, yet those who turned their barks upon her to be regard ed as wel l as those who ran every ri.-k iu her service? Never. Let no young mail delude himself ou this point. But we trust there will belittle or no d's position to look at the matter lrom this nega tive point of view. So far us volunteers are concerned, they should come forward willing ly stimulated by their ivuvicticLS and hopes, rather than pushed or: by warnings aud fears There is enough that is positive to allure men into the ranks uow so rapidly ft ruling. Is any one ambitious of merritcd honor '? All other avenues are worthless compared to tins.— Does any one desirij to be useful to tiie utmost iu his day and generation ? Here is the patii marked out for t;im beyond all mistake. Does any one desire to strengthen all those qualities which command success iu life? Where can it be done so well as amid the responsibilities, active duties, discipline and self reliance of tin camp ? If the mau only has the light stuff in him, a year or two's service in the' held makes him twice as much of a man for nil the ordinary pursuits and professions of life. But there are hardships to be encountered. So much the worse, than that you should deliber ately throw them on the shoulders of others.— But what are hardships to a live American ? It is our glory tuat we have lived and th.ived on them, and made them our benefactors.— Shirking du'.y is about the hardest thing our countrymen can ever undertake. But death is found on the battle field. But where is he not found ? He is the one una voidable, inevitable enemy of our fives. Oi ail the uncounted myriads of the human race, but two have escaped his scythe, it is no use to think ol eluding Lis presence, fur he would | even go with us, and might even be piloting u i into his very snares Tnink of what occurred iu the family of ex Governor Briggs—the son iias been in many battles and is yet safe, wane the honored lather was kiiled by the uce'den tal discharge of a gun in his own house. L ss sinking but similar instances are all'around us. But where can a brave man die better than on the field of giorious service to his country ? But the deaths in buttle are really few ; and disease, wluth lias been much more destruct ive, will henceforth be greatly mitigated by increased experience and care. The season of the year in which the new levies will take the field and finish the rebellion, will be eunently favorable. Ail things, iu fact, are now favor able for enlistiueut Thousands of every con dition and rank in life are coming forward, so that every one can select his own comrades, ol like characters, aud ol the same neighborhood. They will give tone to all with whom they are associated, thus escaping the evils which beset ordinary camp life. They will carry with them the sate guards of home,aud a generous rivalry that will but strengthen and adorn the incen tives of a soldier. Nothing, iu short, is now wanting to the brilliant opportunity for useful ness und distinction held out to the loyal young men of America, but that they should accept it iu the spirit of genuine patriots, and press onward in the ennabling discharge of its duties. Let none neglect it, for once passed it w.ll never return. Gov. CURTIN has been urging upon the ; President and Secretary of the Treasury the > propriety of appointing disabled soldiers as ! collectors of the National tax. Iu every | city, village aud township in the country I caii be found men who have been incapaci tated for service ia the field by wounds or sickness, but who are fully capable of per forming the duties of a tax collector. These men can certainly present claims beyond those of noisy politicians, who always en deavor to secure the fat situations in the gift of the Government and who are now urging their claims by thousands. The men j who cave lost health or bodily vigor iu the ' support of the country, are all, by claims of right and justice, entitled to such a favor as the Government can bestow iu return. For the collection ot this tax, the people wiil be called upon to support an immense army of collectors, and we have no doubt that the proportion required for Pennsylvania alone would furnish situations for a majority of the dilapidated veterans from the ranks of her quota. The situations of assessors or collect ors are eminently desirable, and those who have dearly earned their rights to claim them, should have that claim endorsed by the Government.

Jlalleck, General-in-Chief : As soon as I discovered that a large force of the enemy was turning our rii?ht toward Manassas, and that the division I hud ordered to take post there, two days before, had not yet arrived there from Alexandria, I immed lately broke up my camp at Werrenton June tion aud WurrentDD, aud marched rapidly buck i three columns. 1 directed McDowell, with his owu and Sigel's Corps and Ret.o's Division, to march upon Gainesville,, by the Warrenton and Alexandria pike ; Reno aud one division of Hcintzlemau's to march on Greenwich, and nth Porter's Corps ami Hooker's Divisit I mrached back to Manas sas J unction. McDowell was ordered to interpose between the forces of the enemy, which had passed down the Manassas through Gainesville, and his main body moving down from White Plains through Thoroughfare Gap. This was com pletely accomplished Longstreet, who had passed thtough the Gup, being driven back to the west side. Tiiu forces to Greenwich were designed to support McDowell in cuss he met too iarge a force of the eneinj . The division of Hooker, marching toward Manassas, came upon the eneinv near Kettle Run, iu Ihe afternoon of the 17th, and a sharp uciiou, routed them completely, killing aud wounding 300. capturing camps aud baggage and many stand of arms. This morning the command pushed rapidly to Manassas Junction, which Jackson Lad evacuated after three hours in advance. He retreated to Cenlrtville, and took the turnpike toward Warrenton He was met six uiiies west of Centtvvlile by McDowell and 6igel late this afternoon. A severe Bjiht took place, which lias terminated by darku ss Tim enemy was driven back at aii points, and titus the al ia. r rests.

Iu the afternoon, about 800 of this cavalrv force, under Stuart in person, moved down from Fairfax Court House to Vicuna Hooker's battle, > f :be day before y- sterdav was with Ewell's division, and was a gratify ing success. M ij -Gen Rope, by 9 1 2 o'clock yesterday morning, had concentrated his very large army so as to sadly iuteifirc with the calculations upon which the rebel Genera's must have ven tured their bold ami extraordinary mowment. We had gotten AlcDnwell's force, including Sigel's, probably, between Jackson's rear and Lougstreet's front, and hud also all the rest of hi.* army well up w thin supposing distance. Thus it continued through the balance of the afternoon. Facts within our knowledge lead to the ini pression that in twenty-four iiours direct com munication will have been established between Washington and Muj -Gen. Pope's army; more especially as there are signs that Jackson's army corps in endeavoring to proceed north wardly, as though making for the experiment of opposing the re establishment of such com municatiou with his immediate front, with Pope's army practically between him aud the other rebel corps d\irmee. We may add that Gen. McCleiian is dis posing of his heavy Union force around Wash ington and Alexandria, and the fortifications, so as to make it piay nn important part in the eventful drama of the hour. In '.he battle of yesterday, the attack cer tainly came from our side. " Occasional,"of the Press, of ill's city,writ ing from Washington, says that while Gen. Sigel and Gen. McDowell are harassing Stone wall Jackson in Hank, Gen. Bunks is iu his rear, and a larger army than all under Gen. McCleiian disputes his march. WASHINGTON, August 3l—lo:ss A.M. The enemy was heavily reinforced yester day, and attacked General Pope's army before the arrival of Generals Franklin and Summer. Ihe attack was boldly met, and a severe battle followed. The advantage on the whole was with the enemy, aud General Rope fell back to Centrevilie, with his whole army in good order. He has now been joined at Centrevilie by Frankiiu, and Summer was 011 the march to him last night. He occupies the strongest position in the vicinity of Washington, and is expected promptly to renew the contest aud repeat the successes of Friday. Every effort should be used to hastcu the 1 forwarding of the new troops. THE EVENING REPOT.
