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.
