THE 1.-fiLIATION.
The mystery and secrecy which for more
than a week past have enveloped the move
ments of the Army of the Potomac, are very
significant. We have heard much of the
surprising activity of General LEE ; but, al
though little has been said about General
HOOKER, we have many reasons for be
lieving that he has not been idle: All the
indications point to a speedy and terrific bat
tie. Whether it shall be fought upon the
soil of Maryland or of Virginia remains to be
determined. On Monday' last our army
was encamped upon the old Bull Run battle
ground, and there are 'some who, with Out
any particular reason for their belief, enter
tain a kind of inspired faith that this ever
memorable locality.will, for the third time,
be made historic by the impending struggle.
Of the situation of LEE'S army we have
very little reliable information. Fredericks
burg has no doubt .been wholly aban
doned, and it =is almost equally certain
that the main body of the enemy is in the
Shenandoah A portion of them,
,it • is
stated in Washington despatches, have made
their 'appearance near Aldiu, Vila. is but
twenty miles west of Fairfax Court House.
Of the intentions of General LEE, as deve
loped by hiss movementS, we know abso
lutely nothing of a definite character. Who
tiler the invasion of our State was a raid', or
a feint, or a reconnoissance to be followed .
by a forward movement of the.whole rebek
army, it is impossible to say. The first sup :
poSitioncloes not seem to be sustained by
the meagre accounts thus far, received. We
do not hear that any property, public or
private, has been wantonly destroyed; but
learn that.the rebels helped themselves to
several hundred horses, and such articles of
goods as impressed ,their fancies makini
payment in ." Confederate" notes. This
does not comport :with our preconceived
notions of a "raid';" and it seems - most
probable that the occupation of Chanibers
burg was, in renlitY, a feint to allow LEE to
carry out his grand movement with less . ,
chance . of discovery.,
What that movement is, a few days; per=
lapsa few hours, will cle,termine. LEE can
not afford to delay unnecessarily. If he
'means to attack General Hoo - KER in front,
the will do it promptly. ' If he means to in
: .1 - rftde Maryland, with the-design of getting
in the rear of Washington,-or of cuttingthe
Baltimore and Ohio railioad,, each ;day's,
postponement increases the difficult* and
- hazard ok'the,ent&prise. One of these de
,
signs he eeitainly entertains, and we are in
momentary 'of hearing the stir
.
rintnews l'.tat he has attempted , to carry it
' into effect • , We should not be•greatly sin.-
. prised if the battle of Autietarn were fought
over again', foi it is the ; general opinion-of
those who are heit informed; that theientire
rebel army is moving- towards 'Maryland,
and we hear that Williamsport, Cumber
land, Hagerstown, and- south Mountain.
have already been dOcupied. This, if true,'
is of itself suffleient" proof that Gen. LEII ,
has been heavily. reinforced. Again; the
statement published yesterday, that he was
believed to have received reinforcements
from BRA oo's army, seems to bp.condrmed,
by the reports of released prisoners just
from Richmond, who state that troops had
been arriving in that 'city for some days
past, and that they claimed to be from Ten
nessee. We know as little of General
HOOKER'S plans and expectations as we do
of the enemy's. That' he fears a direct at- .
tack upon Washington is not very likely,
for the Capital, with its well-constructed for
tifications, is impregnable to any force that
the rebels can spare to bring against' t. 'We'
think it More" likely that General HooKia
has divined LEE's purpose of getting - into
Maryland, and will promptly make, or per
haps is now making, the necessary move
ments to thwart it. Instead of remaining
inactive at Centreville while the enemy are
moving on. Frederick and Westminster, he
will in -all probability endeavor to intercept
Ahem by - hastening *to Harper's Ferry.. But
it is useless to speculate when the`mysteries
of the-situation must be cleared up'in a day
or two; and- we can only express our con
viction that the impending struggle will be
attended*with the thost.successtul resulta.
The French Throne Trembles.
It would appear to attentive observers
that the Second Empire I with the Third NA-
POL.EON at its head, is not-quite as secure as
it was two years ago, The legislative elec
tions, which took place all over: Prance on
the last day of May, and the first day of
June, have terminated against the GoVern
ment—in plainer words against the Ern
peror. NAPOLEON. This is only conapara.„
tine, however, for though we say that, the.
Emperor has been defeated at the polls, in
his appeal:to the French nation, the fact is
that from twenty.five to thirty publicists not .
over friendly to the Napoleon dynasty have
been popularly elected to the. Corps LOgisla
tif, instead of the same number of adherents,.
to that dynasty who liad previously occu
pied the seats this dreaded but numerically
small Opposition will now fill,
Under the Second Empire, in January,
1853, two Legislative Chambers were es
tablished. The Senate, limited to one hun
dred and fifty members, chiefly consists of,
cardinals, marshals, and admirals, chosen
for life by the Emperor, the salary of each
being $6,000 a year. The Corps L6gislatif,
corresponding with the old Chamber of De
puties, fluctuates in number—each depart
ment with 3500 inhabitants electing one
deputy ; or fiko amities where there is an
excess of 7,500 over the 'required 35,000.
The population of France, including Al
geria, was 40,471,856 in the summer of 1862,
and•the total number of its deputies is now
two hundred and sixty-seven—so that.
France is not nearly so well legislatively re
presented as the United States, with a popu
lation of 31,445,080, and two hundred and
forty-one members of Congress, or Great
Britain, with a population'of 29,031,299,
presented by six hundred and fifty-eight
members of the House of Commons.
The members of the. Corps Legislatif in
France are elected by universal suffrage,
(which also placed the prisoner of Ham on
the throne,) and for a term of six yiars=

he please, at an earlier.
.period, the Senate,
during the period between such dissolution
and - rhe general election, being constitu
tionally presnmed to provide for the proper
administration of public affairs. While in
session, each, deputy is paid $5OO a month.
The cost to the State, for salaries paid to
senators and deputies, is $1,883,800 a year—
being in decided contrast with the Bri
tish Parliament, which receives no salary
or allowance 'whatever. The power of con
voking, proroguing, and diSsolving the
Corps Legislatif is vested in=-the Emperor,
but there must be a general election (such
as has just taken place), within six months
after the Chamber has been diAolved.
Although no law can come into force until
ratified by the, Senate, -the lower House,
supposed to be elected by the People, are
Constitutionally the law-makers of France.
Until 4862, the, publication of their speeches
was prohibited. In general, the oratory of
this Chamber is not of a Ciceronian cha-
The French Government interferes, in
the most open manner, in the Legislative
elections, actually nominating particular
candidates and publicly advising the pre
fects to support their claims by all means—
intimidation, espionage, cajolery included—
that may be within their power. - As there
IS no scrutiny of the votes, no matter what
grounds for suspicion there may be, the
general result has hitherto been that the
GOvernment candidates have been elected.
A feld not exactly favored by the officials
have now and then been elected,*.but, as
yet, the parliamentary opposition, in the
Corps Legislatif, has been very small and
very feeble.
When the Chamber was dissolved, a few
months ago, a general feeling sprung up
that a reaular Opnosition ought to be
formed. In England, out of 658 members,
including numerous officials, who, of course,
vote for their own measures, at least 320 are
in the Opposition. •France now thinks it a
great thing to have elected some 25 deputies
who will be independent, in speech and vote,
of the Government.
Paris, always potential,- has acted'on
this occasion with a signiftdance which
must be appalling to;the Emperor and his
ftinctionaries. In every district in that me
tropolis, except one (and that one in doubt),
Opposition candidates Eave been.elected. In
the provinces they had not been so success':

PURE, DUPONT DE L'EURE f ST. MARC

defeated.. The whole.ftve whO in the bite
Chamber used to sit " blooming alone," on
the deserted Opposition benches; have been
re-elected. BERRVER; the great legitimist,
lawyer, and Parliamentarian, has been
elected, and with him M. MAThE, formerly
one of the Provisional Government of 1848.
M, VISCOUNT LANJUINAIS, who,in Le Conz- 4
move, so bitterly opposed Louis PrmArp'E's
,
family policy, and Louis RATIN, who has so
powertiilly conducted Le Saele since .the
death, of L. PIERRE, have also been elected:`
The gallant five again returned are. Rams
FAVRE:SMILE OLLIVIP,R, PICARD, DARI

youngest members, and JULEs FAvnu, also
a; Parisian deputy, are the chief.- FAVRE,
a great lawyer, is fifty-four years old, arid
is accounted one of the most eloquent among
French speakers, and held office in the
Bevolution Ministry of 1848, and subse
,
quently held the .Secretaryship of Foreign
Affairs. Since 1857 he has been leader,
;faithful, of the small Opposition
in the Chamber.
Still more important than the election of
any, we had uearly written all of the above
liberals, is that of LOWS ADOLPHE TRIERS,

reign of Lours PHILIPPE, but better known t

Orleans dynasty. He was a member of the.

The Democratic Convention.
The Democratic Convention met and ad
journed with an alacrity not common to
political assemblies. They !trganized, no
minated a State ticket, passed a series of
resolutions, entertained themselves with an
extemporaneous quarrel, and adjourned—all
in the space of one 'calendar day. The most
particular act they performed was the de
capitation of Mr. WILLIAM H. WITTE.
While we think that he would have been a
fitting representative of the Democratic party
as now organized, we are glad to believe
that the State has escaped even the possi
bility of his being Governor. His fall will lie
a warning.to those like him who make po
litics a matter of merchandise. Never hesi
tating to approach the Administration when
he desired favors for those'who employed
him, he was its most malignant and busy
enemy. For years he has had an ambition
to be Governor of Pennsylvania, and there
has not been a convention, for the last ten
years, held in the interest of the Democratic
party, to which lte has not cringed and fawn
ed, in the hope of obtaining this covetedno
.
mutation: His main opponent was HIESTER
CLYMER, of Berks county. When we say that
Mr. C.LvAtEn belongs to the class of men of.
Which J. GLANCY 'JONES is the most aft•
proved representative, that he has been
feeble in;times or, danger, and forcible when
force implied no responsibility, we give
an idea of his character. Mr. CEssNA. was
named by a few ardent friends, but we
do not think there was any serious infention
of troubling him with a nomination: This
gentleman has been regarded as a veryloyal
Democrat, or, rather, a Democrat by suffer
ance—with his conscience outside of the
organization, and nothing in common with
the, partybut the mere hope of advancement.
Mr. CESSNA, by backinc , and filling, and
fearing to take a decided step, placed him
self in the position`of such men as Mr. CAS
sinv and Mr. NEEINGER, and , ell who once
belonged to the Douglas Democracy. In
the absence of a more familiar phrase, they
may be called the ticket-of-leave men of the
Democratic party, with permission to 'fun at
large, so long as they keep good behavior,
but without personal position. We have
always wonderecl that these men would be
satisfied with holding such positions, but tile
way, of the, politician is mysterious. Mr:
CESSNA. might have maintained his Self
respect as a loyal man : he sacrificed it in
the hope of being made Governor of Penn

himself have now spurned him from their

_and Mr. CEssla, through six or seven hal:

Justice WoonwAnn was placed in nomina
tion. - Perhaps the most distinguishing trait
Of this gentleman's character, is the fact that,
under the cover,of the ermine,' he has been
almost as pertinacious a beggar
_for tl4s
nomination as Mr. WiTi.E. He possesses
high personal character, and, if not .-a bril
liant member of the hat has at least man
aged, by many years of silence on the bench,
to obtain a reputation for wisdom and sin
cerity. In addition to this, he has been a
most consistent member of the Democratic
party.. He has served that party as a citizen
and a jurist, and his reward is the nomina
tion now held by him. Judge WoonwAnn
has always been an extreme Southern man
in all his sympathies. He is intensely pro
slavery, and, by the necessity of his politi
cal philosophy, an enemy of •the North.
Like many other `men known as Democrats,
he has made himself a worshipper of the
theories and dogmas of JOHN C. C4LHOLIN,
and, to summon up his creed in`a few words,
we may say that : he believes in State rights
agairtst the Federal Government, regards
slavery as a divine 'institution, considers
the war an Abolition crusade, and would
gladly make peace with the rebels on
their ewn terms. There are few men in
this State who would be more acceptable to

Although'the resolutions are from.the pen I
of Mr. FRANCIS W. HUGHES, we do not see
his celebrated proposition to unite•Pennsyl
vaiiia with the ,SOuthern States. In a lite
rary sense they are heavy and turgid,, and
seem .to have been manipulated by a ,dozen
different hands. • Mr. HUGHES' feeble,
school-boy,' emphatic style, pervades the
whole series, one of the resolutions, for in
stance, concluding by an assurance that
" any person who cannot understand it kis
not the mental - capaaity, which fits him for a,
public station," with a great deal else quite
as absurd. The, " lion-hearted Democracy
of Ohio " are thanked, and the " deporta
tion of Mr. VALLmiznianem" 'is denounced.
Then we have coarse and false phrases like
this : "We are not surprised to learn that the'.
worthiest men have been torn from their
families, judges knocked down on the
berioh, ministers of the Uospel imprisoned
in loathsome dungeons, and respectable wo
men and children, treated with a brutality
which it would be indecent to' name—and
all this, in many cases, without a pretence
even of a political offence, much less of any
crime against the laws." There were respec
table men in that Convention, who would
scorn to owe'a dollar, or do anything false
and dishonest, and yet they made them
selves partners to falsehood and dishonesty
by giving their approval' to such miichie

upon the Governor using the power of the
State against the Executive in the case of
any difference,of opinion. The war, is cha
racterized as a war in the interest of " a

not one word is saidin its
,approval. Mr.
CESSNA and Mr. NISErigGER, and the rest of
the tieket-ofleave-men, seem . to have been,
placed to the one: side in this whole matter.
It is possible they.may be bold enough to
express their. true opinions and spurn
ihese false doctrines, but we ,have little
4ope- It remains for the pe(iple to nomi

a good view of them, when'he saw a regiment oldie
enemy throw down their arms, and heard them give
three cheers and say "We surrender!" The rebel
officers at once approached them, and, with . drawn
swords.. and pistols, overpowered and controlled
them, and compelled them to take up . their arlias and
resume their position. The mile officer, at , a truce
entered into next day, for the purpOse of looking
after the dead and wounded, while riding as near to
the rebel lines as he could get, was hailed by a rebel
officer within the works with the question whether
he did not think, upon reflection, that he was coming
nearer than was exactly'prOper. Our officer replied
in the negative, saying we had had men wounded
and killed as near to the enemy as he himself then
was. .8 conversation then ensued, in which the
Nebel officer spoke of the Sherman charge of the
preceding day, and remarked that "inside" tkey re
garded it lie the finest thing of the war. Oar officer
did notbelong tO SHERSEAN'S division.

parture.pf Troops.
Yesterday, Independence Square was the grand
centre of attraction. Here were assembled, from
early in the morning - until late Eli night, the various
companies and squads being mustered into service.
Some of the soldiers were fully armed - and equipped, -
while many still retained their citizen's dress. An
army of spectators was attracted to the sacred
grounds, and many pleasing and affecting scenes and
incidents transpired during the day. There seemed
to be no drawback. whatever in the way of obtain.
ing recruits, but the main trouble" arose out of the
difficulty of obtaining transportation. During the
day, and up to a late hour at night, there Beemedto
be a constant throng of soldiers awaiting the train
at West Philadelphia... The men grew very impa
tient, especially those who were compelled to linger
about Independence Square for hours before receiv
ing marching orders,
SCENES IN=THE SQUARE
While one of the companies •of Colonel Thomas'
regiment was 'being mustered ',intO the service, in
Independence Square, a mother, accompanied by
Irbedatighter, stepped up to the captain and in
formed him that one of his recruits was her Boa, and
was only-fourteen years of age, and -that she did not
wish him "togo to the wars.” The lad in question
was -a stout, able bodied youth, and might easily
have passed for eighteen yeast of age. Seeing his
mother and sister in search of him, he took - to his
heels and started off. - The two women followed him,
and a wild chase ensued. They soon came up and
collared the youth; a desperate struggle ensued; a
large crowd gathered, around, and finally the son
broke lobse, ran through 7hdeperidence Square and
out Walnut street, followed by his _mother and sis
ter-and about one hundred spectators. The scene,
although a ridiculous one, was truly arresting. The
determined son soon outstripped his pursuers and
gained the ddratot, there to await the arrival of hie ,
company. The mother, itt the meantime, waited
upon the Mayor and Obtained a writ for his deten
tion.
In themorning, while the excitement was high,
the captain of a company was mustering in his men,
when it was found that- one more was wanted to
complete the maximum number. The captain gazed
around - upon the crowd, and finally sung out, " One
more man wanted 'here; who will got" Ile had
baldly uttered the words, before there was a re
sponsefrom three linelooking and intelligent young
men. "I only want one of you," said the captain.
!!Well, I spoke first," said one - of the applicants.
"No, you didn't, either," put in another, while the
third also argued that he was on-the alert as quick
as the other two. The matter was finally settled to
the satisfaction of all, and to the great merriment of
the , by-standers, by the would-be soldiers drawing
lots. The one who drew the prize took his place in
the ranks amidst great cheering.
• Many other touching scenes, 'similar to those de
tailed above; occurred during the - day. The usual
scenes of parting, so often described in newspaper
columns, took place both in the square and at the
depet, and some of them were truly heart-rending.
We notice that the ages of those in the ranks range
generally from 20 to 30 years, while many have been
mustered in - who were only from 14 to 16, but whose
appearance indicated different, and who, in their
anxiety to serve, would represent themselves several
years older.
TEE TWENTrETIC REGIMENT P.
Col. Wm. B. Thomas, commander, was filled more
rapidly, and met with more success in obtaining re
cruits, than any other organization in the city.
Twenty companies, in- all, attached themselves to
the organization. The Reserve Guards, to which
all the custom 'Anise officials are attached ; have 170
men enrolled ; several of the other companies have
upwards of 100 men while very few contain less
than 80. The whole number recruited for the regi
ment reached 2,000. The organization of the regi
ment, thus far, is as follows: -
Colonel, William B. Thomas; Major, W. H.
Sickles; Adjutant, Harwood; Co. B, Captain Sny
der Leidy, First -- Lieutenant James E. Taylor,
Second. Lieutenant F. Kretchmar ; Co. C, Captain
E F. Shelby, First Lieutenant M. Weaver, Second
Lieutenant C. Gilbert ; Co. E, Captain B. F. Tay

Captain C. L. Smith has raised a company, which
has also been attached to` this regiment. The men
werefurnished with uniforms and accoutrements,
yesterday morning, at the custom-house stores, at
Front and Lombard streets, and were then marched
to Independence,Square. Colonel Thomas certainly
deserves the highest praise for-the energy displayed
In raising such a force of men, to sustain the Go.
vernment in this emergency.
