SraMorbllejrortcr. E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TQWANDA : Thursday Morning, May 21, 1863. JST* We observe that the Standing Com mittee of Alleghany and Lnzerne Counties have called a REPUBLICAN UNION CONVENTION, to elect delegates to the Pittsburg Convention. According to the statements and logic of the Peoples' party leaders, here, these dele gates have no right to a seat in that Conven tion, representing a " political party independ ent and distinct ID its organization—having neither the Dame nor tho single pnrpose of the Union organization of this State.'" But we imagiue that their delegates will bo admitted without delay or question—as they always have been admitted—while the delegates from the Peoples' organization here, will be left out in the cold. The bolters seem to place great reliance up on the name they have assumed. Like an ass dressed in a lions skiD, their braying betrays their character. Their assumption of a Dew name will Dot avail. Their repudiation of the Republican party, and its name, is easy for tirem, because tbey have never been in love with its principles. But for all that, the great Republican purty of the Nation still lives. It is the same party which elected Presi dent LINCOLN, and which is called Republican everywhere, and has an organization in every free and some of the Slave States. The dom inant party of the Uuion.is everywhere known as the "Republican party," and the Union party in the State act in conjunction with that organization. In some of the counties, the name " Republican " has been adopted— in others it is called the "Union party." Wo have no great reverence for names, and hence shall not quarrel with any one on that account. Rut we have noticed throughout the State,that where the principles of Freedom have been boldly put forth and advocated, and where the great issues of the day have been openly met, the party has been called Repub lican, and has been triumphant—whilo, where there was a disposition to shirk the two issues, there has been a repugnance to this name Republican.—ln such localities, disaster has overtaken the party. The question of the admission of delegates from this County is not an open one. It does not turn upou names. The Republican party of this Couuty has always been an important part of the Union party of the State. The delegates cent from Bradford have always been received aud welcomed. The same party again elects delegates which represent the Repub lican or Union party of the County, having no affiliation or affinity with the Copperheads Tbey have the prestige of former admissions and of regularity. A bolting faction acting with the Democracy—in open and avowed concert of purpose—see fit to elect delegates to the State Convention. What is their claim to seats ? Simply that the leaders have as sumed the name—Peoples' party to cloak their ambition and mercenary schemes They are the offspring of a foul and unnatoral combi nation of disappointed office seekers and malig nant Copperheads. They represeut no party, they have no constituency who can be depend ed upon to support the nominees of the Pitts burg Convention. Does Mr. TRACY go to Pittsburg with au thority to pledge the Democrats who elected him last fall, to support the candidates put in Domination there ? If not, then who does he represent ? The organization of which he is the representative has a mushroon sickly existence. The Copperhead leaders can squelch his Peoples' party with a word. They will do so, when it suits their purpose—but as long as they can use the leaders and the organization to carry out their schemes of course they will employ both. But at Pittsburg, Messrs Pi OI.LCT & Co., will not have a voice, aud they can't help Mr. TRACY and his colleagues to a seat in the Convention We advise him to save himself ths trouble and expense of a fruit less journey to Pittsburg and the mortifica tion of being refused admittance to a seat iu the Convention. Mr. TRACY has a chance to regain his position with the Republicans of the County and State. His seat in Congress, will afford him an op portunity, if he Has a disposition, to show that J he has not fallen entirely from his former j " high estate"—that he has not beeu contam i inated by bis association with, and election by, Democrats. We Deed not point out the road —it is plain to every one. We are not with that he will elect to follow it, though than to ref anuSQal " II is easier t0 &° estra y Yet Mr. TRACY'S' AFO&Pj. P o,ilical rectitude, entirely without hope, that he wn DOt ' eave us associations he made last fall, and con\s support of the principles aud measures, he has heretofore so zealously professed. Slenker Auditor-General.Mr. Barr, Surveyor-General, and Mr. McGratb, State Treasurer, entered upon the duties of their respective offices, at Harrisburg, on the Ist inst. Mr. Barr has appointed Thomas J. Rehrer, Esq., as his Chief Clerk. Mr. Mc- Grath has appointed Wm. D. Boas, Esq., Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department. I now editing the Richmond Enquirir , is men tioned for a brigadier- generlship in the Con federate army. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. By the arrival of the steamer George Washington, from New Orleans on the 9th instant, we have a full account of the capture of Alexandria, on the Red River, by Admiral Porter, the arrival of Admiral Farragut at New Orleans, and an intensely interesting and most valuable description of the cavalry raid of Colonel Grierson with his gallant Illinois cavalry. His expedition was a mnguificent success. He cut his way through the enemy's country with two regiments of cavalry, de stroying on bis route four millions of rebel property, capturing over a thousand men and twelve hundred horses, demolishing a camp of insurrection, with all its equipments, cutting the communication on the Great Northern and New Orleans and Jackson railroads aud de stroying a large number of cars, telegraph wire, water tanks and army stores. After passing through many dangers and working terrible damage he arrived at Baton Rouge on the Ist instant, to the great surprise of the inhabitants. From thence he pushed on to New Orleans, where he was received with great eclat. The whole movement only occupied seventeen days. This is certainly one of the most brilliant feats of the war. We have received from the Southern journ als a number of highly interesting articles, chiefly dwelling upoQ the disastrous effects of these grand cavalry raids of ours in Virginia, Mississippi and Georgia, in which it will be seen the enemy admit that terrible damage has been done by our forces in these States. The Richmond journals also lay great stress upon the occupation of West Point, Virgiuia, by the Union forces, intimating that its pos session would be an incalculable damage to that large and most productive portion of Virgiuia, which, having thus far escaped the ravages of war, has supplied tho people of Richmond and the troops and hospitais with large and indispensable supplies of bread-stuffs and other provisions. Such is the opinion of the Examiner. And it further states th it the presence of the army at West Point will com pletely paralize the agricultural energy of more than seventy thousand persons, the most dis tant of whom do not reside fifty miles from Richmond ; because, not having suffered from the ravages of war, the farmers throughout that whole region are makiug the most exten sive preparations for large crops. These are significant admissions, and show not ouly the value but the necesity of gaining and keeping a secure foothold at West Point. Lieutenant Colonel H. Davis, of the 12th Illinois cavalry, scut forward his report of the part which his troops played in the great Stoneman expedition in Virginia, and it was a highly efficient and well conducted one. lu his dash from the South Anna river to Glou cester Point he destroyed an amount of the enemy's property, consisting chiefly of army stores, found in wagons and railroad trains, of bridges, roads and depots,to the value of over a million of dollars. In his expedition he came into collision with the rebel pickets at several points ; killed and captured many of them, and only lost on his own side two cogi missioned officers, and thirty-three privates in killed, wounded and missing. The captare of Jackson, the capital of Mis sissippi, by the Union army of General Grant is fully confirmed by the admission of the Vicksburg and Jackson papers and by des patches from Mobile and Chattanooga. Gen. Hurlbut telegraphs from Cairo to General Halleck that this fact is stated by the above authorities The rebel General Gregg aband oned Raymond on Tuesday, the 12th. On the next day he was reinforcad by General \\ alker, of Georgia, at Mississippi Springs ; but their combined forces were driven back to Jackson on Thursday. One. troops then followed and took possession of the city from the cast. General Joe Johnston arrived at Jackson the day previous, but pushed on with three brigades towards Yicksburg. General Grant at last acconuts had struck the railroad at Edward's Station, about eighteen miles from Yicksburg. The capture of Jackson is thus placed, beyond doubt, and the second chapter in this great aud somewhat complicat ed story of the war in the Southwest—the fall of Yicksburg—is about to be written, uu less some unforeseen disaster or mistake should mar the projects of General Graut. Dispatches from Gen. Grant to the War Department, dated 11th and 14th, are receiv ed. Ou the 11th his forces were that evening to be along Fourteen Mile Creek, the line be ing nearly east and west. He would go as far as possible without bringing on a general engagement. He would not communicate with Grand Gulf again for some time. On the 14, Geu. Grant reports that Raymond was taken on the I2th. Union loss, 51 killed and 180 wonnded ; rebel loss, 75 killed (buried by Gen. Grant's men), and 18G prisoners, beside an unknown number cf wounded. McPherson was at Clinton, Shermon on direct road to ward JacksoD, and McClemand was bringing np the rear. Geu. Grant says : " I will at- fi &the State Capital to day." The Dext of " Gen * s rom Gen. Hulbert,wbo say : tol is burned." Jackson ; the Capi this dispatch (if important part of zen just op from Jackson t£Si? ort a c ' t '* abandoned Yicksburg on Sunday—w c P em y Snnday the 10th or the llih is meant is un certain, but probably the 10th—marching on the ridge north-east to or toward Livingston, Madison county, about 20 miles from Jack son, in a direction a little north-west of north. Should this be trne, the mission of Gen. Joe Johnston was doubtless to save the Ticksbarg army by forced marching around Grant be fore be could wing them. Such an escape, however, is almost as bad as a defeat, since it would place the Rebel force in an open and exhausted country, without fortifications or supplies, aud probably very poorly supplied with cavalry, batteries, and materials for fresh warfare. RUMORS. Differences of opinion between high officials ; as to the couduct of General HOOKER aud the uffair of the Pcterhof are said to prevail to such an extent as to interrupt the previous entente cordial'. It is believed by many that some important civil and military changes are about to take place, which will be received with great satisfaction by friends of the Gov ernment. It is rumored that the case of Vallandigham is not yet decided, that Mr. Seward favors his release, and the President is undecided. The Union men in Ohio demand that if the man is to be punished at all, he should be sent south to the rebels whose cause he has 60 loDg de feuded. Geu Hooker has gone back to Falmouth to prepare for another campaign. The rebels are already upon their legs, and if we do not cross over and give them employment,they will soon move towards Washington. This is the opin ion of some of our best military men. Regiments of nine-months aud two-years men are constantly pouring through Washing ton to the North, their time having expired. There is a feeling of nervousness upon the sub ject in some quarters, but our military leaders ' are satisfied that if we are to lose twenty or | thirty thousand men from the army at all, it is better to lose them now. The draft will take place about the first of July. By the middle of July the War Depart ment will offer a bounty of S3OO to all who will re enlist. THE DRAFT. —The thirteenth section of the conscription law has received an intepretation, and substantially a warlike adjudication. On the representation of influential citizens of II liuois, that the acceptance of S3OO from draft ed men, in lieu of service, throughout the West would degenerate the enrolmeut meas- i ure, acd defeat the iuteutiou to raise an army, : Secretary STANTON is understood to have de- J cided that the section was permissive, and ; not mandatory ; that it is optional with him to receive the money or reject it ; that he is ' not a national treasurer ; that be gives no ■ bond for the safe keeping of money ; has no financial officers under him ; has 110 means of j enforcing security for the immense sums his j subordinates would receive on this commuta- 1 tiou of military service, and has no time to go i into the business of hunting up substitutes. Solicitor WHITING, of the War Department, is understood to concur in these views. The ' President is aDo understood to concur in their lawfulness aud policy. The clause of the act i selling exemptions at S3OO, therefore, will j practically be ignored. Conscripts will either I be left to hunt up substitutes at their own ! price, or the plan will be adopted of calling for nu equal number of volunteers at the time : the draft is ordered, to be accepted only as I substitutes for drafted men, and receive a \ Government bounty of SIOO, and the cou-j script's price of exemption besides. Any way, ! the enrolment law will not be a revenue meas* j ure, but a war measure. VAU.ANDIGHAM CANARD. —It now appears I that the story of Vallandigham's sentence to j the Tortugas Island is a canard. The Cin- ; cinoati Daily Times of the 14th inst., says ! that it has positive official assurance that the j reported sentence of the arch traitor is un- , founded, and that it was gotten up by his ! friends to test public feeling, so that they ' might make their calculations as to the success of any resistance to the real sentence, should that be objectionable when announced. Up to the 14th inst., the result of the investiga- j tion was not known to any but the General commanding the Department in which the of- j fence was committed and the trial took place, j and to the court which heard the case. BRIG GEN. CHARLES CAMPBELL —This gal lant aud veteran officer, though still suffering from his wounds, has insisted upon being plac ed in command, where he could serve the great cause to which he is so earnestly attached after reporting himsei for duty, a few days since, be was ordered to repair to the north west and report himself to Gen. Pope. This wiP afford Gen. Campbell a wide field of ac tion ; and we are satisfied that in any engage ment he may have iu the Indian country, he will cover himself with new glorv, and farther prove his capacity as a soldier aud a fighting man. ; GIFTS FROM GERMANY FOR OUR SOLDIERS.— One of the steamers of the Hamburg and American Steamship Company, lately arrived, brought to the port of New-York over eighty large packages of fiue linen and lint, which had been contributed by the friends of the i Union along the Rhine, for the benefit of our sick or wounded soldiers. Some of the pack ages were of the size of hogsheads, and all i were made up of the best material. The linen ! was especially fiue. Every package bore this | inscription —" Bhenish Bavaria. For tbe Wounded Defenders of tbe United States."— ' packages were a free gift 0/ the freedom were brSB and women of t!ie Rhine, and American t iine7 er free the Hamburg aud Washington is at larr — the rebels and rebel sympathizers® P ,,r S e J it. It is said that an order will soon sued sending ontside of onr lines all disloyal persous, male and female. ; Brigadier General Thomas T. Critten den, of Indiana, has sent in his resignation to ■ General Rosecrans. His reason for this is, that certain charges of disloyalty which he 1 made against Colonel Caldwell, of the 81st Indiana Regiment were suppressed by his su periors. For the same reason, the lieutenant colonel, major, and adjutaut of the 81st, have i also resigned. A despatch dated Jackson, Miss, the 11th, to the Richmond Sentinel, professes the suspicious information that 10,000 raw troops, under Kirby Smith, had routed Gen. Banks from Washington, La. Another Jackson des patch, of the same date states that a thousand of Grant's cavalry had that day burned Crys tal Springs, twenty-six miles south of Jack son, on the railroad. Xlcto gxwm'tfsimnts.
