MONDAY, JULY 27, 1803, M9rWe can take no notice of anonymous commu« nioationa. We do not return rejected manuscripts. 4®- Voluntary correspondence solicited from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments, When used, it Will be paid for. Tile Coming Campaign. The noise of Gettysburg and Ticksburg has died away; and, with the exception of the tumult in Ohio oyer John Morgan's in-: wasion, and the assault on Charleston, the. nation is at rest. Our armies are-resting on their laurels and counting their gains. The armies of our enemies, like sorely-pressed fugitives, are endeavoring to find shelter mid comfort. The barren fields of Virginia will be a sad exchange for the glorious har vests of Southern Pennsylvania and Upper Maryland. Joe Johnston, like* “ Poor Jo” in Bleak House, keeps “moving on,” -and, in being driven from Jackson, loses the control of the groat railroad that -strengthens the power of the Mississippi. Mobile is virtually isolated from the Con ifederacy, and its fall may be expected at an 6arly day. We have taken possession of Morris Island, and are slowly and surely drawing tho lines aroimd Charleston. Rose crans is moving upon Bragg, and we may expect to hear of a diversion in the direction of East Tennessee. As soon as Burnside gets his command in moving condition we may nnticipate_an advance upon Cumber land Gap and.the occupation of Knoxville. The relief of East Tennessee is an object very dear to every loyal heart. From the beginning. the people of that community lyive been patient, and long-suffering. The cruelties heaped upon them have been unparalleled in ferocity; and at this time, according to Parson Brownlow, over twen ty thousand East Tennesseans are in the armies of the Union: It is not, however, in its relations to any one of these points that we view the importance of the coming cam paign. We have narrowed the field of war into a very small compass, and, by the con solidation of armies, the; occupation of ter ritory, and the possession of-States, have so changed and reduced the-ecene of the situa -tion, that when the war again begins we may expect a fearful battle, and a result that swill end the war. The real operations ot this campaign are not taking place in ilie field. The two .armies are little more than the picket guards -of an army, in the rear. Jefferson Davis has made the South a grand camp, every Southern man capable of bearing arms being -ordered into the service. In the loyal States the conscription is makinga military people. We all begin to feel our duty as citizens is to the country, and that we must do the duty •of a soldier if we would be worthy of free dom. Those who' remain at home are arming and educating themselves to arms -and forming battalions and companies. The •recent invasion of the State of Pennsylva nia, and the more recent riots in New York, added the strength of a hundred thousand 'men to the armies of the Union. An army was suddenly formed, and although it is no longer an army, the tap of the drum would 'summon it into existence in a day. So that when we call the Northern States a great ■army; wedo not exactly use a figurative ex pression, for. the.people possess all the ele ments of an army—courage, zeal, and skill. When the danger comes we have merely to give them a commissary and quartermaster, and a major general. The earning campaign will test the strength and devotion of these two. armies. The truest statesmanship on our partis that which examines this fact and anticipates'the most. . .For we .must remem ber that Jefferson Davis is using every moment to recover from the disasters in Mississippi and Pennsylvania. If by any means, by the exercise of any tyranny or force, lie can compel the exhausted and de pleted Southern States to yield him up an ; army-it will be done. His policy will be to contact -his point in the West, like Talladega, and a point in.the East like Lynchburg, and,there drawing around him his new army, make a' final war for recognition. : This is the policy the North mustpreparc itself to meet. If we sit smiling over our last campaigns, and decking our favorite generals with laurels, instead of moving on with mighty energy,-' we . shall have another Ohickahominy campaign to throw gloom oyer the country and strengthen the enemies of the Republic abroad. For we must re member that in this contest we depend upon ourselves alone. Russia might have given us sympathy, but Russia is too busy with : Poland to think of the United States. We may as weH admit the fact that all the signs point to the desire on the part of the Euro. p.ean Powers to see the Union dissevered' and the influence of the Republic destroyed. Therefore, there is no hope to be obtained from abroad. France, that was our friend when the Bourbons reigned and its people were under the influence of the spirit of freedom and philosophy that prevailed during the Revolution, is now, by the schemes and treachery of the Emperor of the French, the most persistent enemy of the Republic. There is but one way of meet ing the danger and defeating our enemies, and that is to unite and consolidate the power of the North and throw it upon the rebellion. Let us strengthen Meade, and Grant, and Rosecrans, doubling • and trebling their armies, and ; move upon the foe in such numbers that resistance will be abandoned, and every mareh become a victory. This is the view to take of our coming campaign, and if we truly profit by past experience and present prosperity, peace will come to bless us before the sum mer days are over. The Popularity of the Draft. The argument by which the opponents of the war seek to prove the draft an unwise measure, is based upon a profound false hood—the statement of its unpopularity. Admit that the draft is unpopular—and its unwisdom is to a certain extent admitted/ for ,ours is not a Government which can j.uitlp A# »lsslj> adijU auj? wl.Uk tho people wiU not support—all its power is from the people, and from the people must be its principles. When the nation sent army after army into the field, in answer to the call of the Government, it did hot fail to make known the purposes for which those armies were created. When, the Govern ment pledged itself to the suppression of the rebellion by every constitutional measure, it obeyed the will of the peo ple, At the command of the nation the • war was begun ; at its command the war has been for two years waged with/ unin termitted energy, and not until the nation desires it will it. end. And all . the plans -the Government has. adopted for theprose ■cution of the war have been sanctioned by the people/ and all the means necessary ■have been-by the people granted. As the ■Government is the constitutional embodi ment of the nation, it must execute the na rtiohal will;, only in this has it strength, or .dignity, or safety. Upon these principles ■the Government has invariably acted; ■throughout the war it has been in the closest .-sympathy with the spirit of the people; the President has repeatedly affirmed that the •popular yrish and will should be his guides, ■and there is not an instance in which his policy has contradicted the purpose of the loyah States. The Government is to the people .what the apex of the pyramid is to .its base. . Had it been otherwise, the secession of 'the'Southern States would have been peacea bly established ; had it been transiently so, the war would long ago have ceased; had we not assurance that it'will remain so, we <. __L-J '■ ’tsTgar?.’? ti vis m vuw gus an tuts sftuggfri Kotliiri Dut iho unrelenting resolution of l&e people, their mighty sacrifices, their steadfast faith, have enabled the Government to do what it has done ; nothing but these i will enable it to finish the task now more ; than half completed. In lands -which are| not free, Governments may declare war j. ■without consulting with their subjects—they t may, indeed, successfully wage it in opposi-i "tion to every interest of the people over whom they tyrannize —but in- Republican America, sovereignty resides with the people, power is granted by them, and the Govern ment which thinks against the thought, of the people, and feels apart from the heart of the people, is destitute of dignity, and prin ciple, and power. This the history of Mr- Btjchanan’s administration proves—if proof Were necessary. The people knew the value of the national integrity, and there fore they decreed the war for its preserva tion; step by step American-statesmen dis covered Die nature of the work thus begun ; one army was foun-d insufficient, the people sent another, and for two years have been gloriously sending their soldiers to the front; the enemy was found strongly, en trenched in his accursed system of human - slavery ; the Government emancipated- the slaves of rebels, and the people upheld its action. The’great efforts of two years re sulted in gigantic victories; to make these the'means of obtaining final and permanent victory the Government ordered the pro sent draft, and the people have sustained the'draft. ■ We say they have sustained the draft, and we also affirm that the . draft is an ex pression of their will. Thus far the mass of the loyal people have earnestly supported every measure of the Government, and they have not withdrawn their support from this, of all its measures, the sternest.; Disloyal men may teach wliat they please, but they cannot .convince an intelligent people that the moment before victory is the time for truce. We are not to be argued into self complacent satisfaction, with what we have achieved, to the loss of what we may yet obtain ; we are not to be convinced that it is wise to abandon our Work before we have finished it. On the contrary, we know that’victories already gained by energy, are but reasons for greater energy, and that the draft is the most' ener getic measure for the immediate suppression of the rebellion that could possibly be adopted. It is wise, because we must use every means to keep our advantage and im prove it; it is economical, because it will shorten the war.; it is just, because the na tion cannot justly choose a prolonged and uncertain contest; it is necessary, because wisdom, economy of life and wealth, and justice are necessary to a speedy and honora ble peace. Besides this, the war has reached: a stage at wliidfi volunteering has na turally' ceased; the nation is as ever ear nest in its loyalty, but the men who found it easy to go to war. have gone ; those to whom it is difficult rejmain, AH are anxious that others should go, but each is unready to enlist himself. It is not from want of pa triotism that volunteering has ceased, and, therefore, the people feel that it is just that chance should select the three hundred thou sands of men who are to give the last blow to the rebellion against the American Re public. Let it be remembered, also, that the false hood which declares the draft to be un popular has no other authority than the New York riots. Disloyal journals cite those sdrtanic outbreaks as proof that the draft will be forcibly resisted by the people. But is it thus that the people are to be calumniated ?' Are they all rioters? Is the spirit which inspired those cruel mqbs to resistance to the laws of the land, to the burning and robbing of a city, to the murder of helpless negroes and unoffending white men, the spirit of the American people ? We thank God that the lie is a lie.„ ; The riots of-New York are not representative, but exceptional: Elsewhere timdraftpeaceably proceeds ; in several States it is nearly completed. In Philadelphia it is Welcomed. Incidentally, disturbances may be expected, but nationally the draft will meet no opposition. The people cheerfully submit to the law, because they know, it to be necessary and wise. The Roebuck Debate. There is a sudden and fatal end of the famous Roebuck motion, which was to the effect that the British Parliament should re quest Queen ■ Victoria to unite with the other European rulers to end,the War here by acknowledging the independence of the did not arrive. The news by the Scotia was not what was, expected,: for it merely confirmed the fact that Lee had invaded Pennsylvania, where his men had commit ted many acts of violence and robbery. Roebuck, as well as Russell, Palmer ston, Gladstone, and , Gregory calcu lated on hearing, on or before the 13th, that the Rebels had captured and sacked Harris burg, Philadelphia, and Baltimore—that they were hbout entering New York—and that Jefferson Davis, was occupying an easy chair in the White House at Wash ington. This news did not arrive, so, Roe buck made a.speech of a few vague sen tences, in which he warned Palmerston of tho wiles and wickedness of his friend Napoleon, and then withdrew his motion. It is creditable to Mr.- Roebuck that he .thus shrunk from reasserting and defending the monstrous falsehood he had uttered, on the first evening of the debate, about Na poleon’s intention of immediately asking the British Government to join him in in terference in American affairs. Of course, after Napoleon’s official denial in the Mo niteur, it would have been impossible for Roebuck to have reiterated the lie. The public has sustained some loss in. the withdrawal of Roebuck’s motion. No doubt some amusing incidents would have occurred. This we think because the pre vious performance was highly dramatic. One of the London papers, which gives a weekly view of the “ Inner Life of the House of Commons,” has sketched the pro ceedings of the first evening so graphically that we shall freely use it in what follows. This article commences by photographing the proposer of the motion Mr. RoW buck is much changed. In person he is the same except that age and infirmity hare sharpened his - features, thinned his' hair, dimmed his eye, and made him less brisk" and active in his movements than he "was twenty years ago. But his intellectual powers are not what they were, and the peculiarities, of his action in speaking and’ his temper have become exaggerated. These, are the sad changes which everybody ob serves. His sentences are just as curt and shoi t tkojr. his -.li-.li j., vlji action is still more dramatic, his temper is more acid' and fierce, but the' intellectual power which he once showed is not there. His speech on this occasion was distressing. It was a grand opportunity if he could but have used it. There was ample room* for the display of .all the powers of an accom plished speaker. As a lawyer he might have defended the legality of recognition; as a logician he might ’have reasoned out its propriety. And there was fine scope for the declamatory powers of the orator. But, as we have said, Mr. Roebuck failed to use the opportunity, and failed evidently from the decay of Ms powers. The law of the case he scarcely touched ; his reasoning was childish ; his declamation, when he at tempted it, was a mere explosion of un reasoning temper. The House, however", listened attentively, and occasionally a small burst of cheers from some of our wilder spirits greeted his angry diatribes.- But the; speech did not" secure the approval even of those who are friendly to the views . which Mr. Roebuck advocated; indeed, it i was generally allowed that Mr. Roebuck had damaged the cause which he had taken stipon himself to defend." Roebuck’s account of his self-appointed to Fontainebleau was heard with great attention, we are told, “except now and then, when a suppressed titter, threat ening an explosion of laughter, ran through the house.. We need not be surprised at the silence or the laughter. ■ It was natural tha* the House should desire to hear the wonderful story ; it was almost impossible that it .should refrain from laughter when it notaiflß fliamft.” ITio sMinsV iiasrji'iy Bieii< tions a few of the strange events which had occurred m Fontainebleau, and then wickedly asks, “But did. Fontainebleau ever see a more curious sight than that of Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsav marching up the grand staircase and into the Imperial audience-chamber—Mr. Roebuck, in the loose brown frock-coat whioh he always wears',- (unless, indeed, ho had specially decked himself out for this notable occa sionj and Mr. Lindsay, with his skipper like waddle and hands in his trowsers' pockets, where they generally aret How the gorgeous flunkies must have stared as these twfi 4 singular figures marched into the pre sence ; blit they would have stared more if they had known them as we know them, and had understood that these were two ambassadors, .unaccredited, it is true, but still ambassadors after a sort, going to talk with their master about high matters of State. ‘Fancy,’ said a member as he passed out of the house, his countenance radiant with humor the while, ‘ Lindsay and. Roebuck in the audience-chamber at Fontainebleau I §Roebuck in his loose frockleaning on his stick, and Lindsay on his bow legs, with his hands in his pockets, like a skipper on the deck of his ship. I wonder that some of the old portraits didn’t jump out of the frames.’ In this running commentary on the de bate, Lord Robert Montagu, fa son of the Duke of Manchester and M. P. for Hun? tingtonsliire,_) who moved a counter-resolu tion “that an impartial neutrality should continue to be maintained by her Majesty’s Government during; the present unhappy contest in the States of North America,” is described as. one who does not succeed as a public speaker though he works hard, gets up his s\>eet:hes with care, has a good pre sence, a good voice, and plenty of words at command: “It has come to be recognized that, with all Lord Robert’s diligence in collecting facts and the laborwhicli lie un dergoes in getting up his speeches, he wants intellectual power. He can collect the ma terials, but he has not the power tp use them aright. He is a hodman, in short, and not an architect; a color-grinder, and not an artist.” Of Mr. Gladstone, who opposed the Roebuck motion, but repeated that Jeff Davis “ had made the South a great nation,” only mere mention is made. But an able and warm friend of the Union,-Mr. Eoester, M. P. for Bradford, is sketched con amore.: Here is a miniature of, our friend: “Mr. Forster has conquered for himself a position in the House. It is not the highest. He does not rank amongst our orators. He will never contest the palm with his friend, Mr. Bright, nor with Gladstone, nor Disraeli. But, then, he does not pretend to oratory, and has, in deed, few of the qualifications which arc necessary to make what is called a powerful speaker. But he always commands atten tion, nevertheless, and for this reason ; he is; a clear, sagacious, practical thinker, and can utter his thoughts in plain, unvar nished language. He seldom calls forth cheers; hut he always secures attention, and sets men thinking, which, on the whole, we take to be a greater triumph than that of gaining applause, and certainly far more to be desired than the conquest of loud Uiughter, which some whom we know so highly value. After saying all this, we need hardly add that Mr. Forster de livered a very useful speech. In the House, of course, we have men of all sorts: We have a few distinguished orators; we have sagacious, hard-headed debaters; we have a large number of fluent talkers, and we have a still larger number of men who nevor open their lips. Mr. Forster we place at the head of the debaters; and, if we cannot say that he adorns everything that he touches, we may certainly affirm that on every subject he discusses he throws additional light.” Lord Robert Cecil, a violent supporter of Mr. Roebuck’s notion; is contemptu ously passed by. Mr. Bright was to be sketched. He is thus mentioned: ‘“There’s Bright up !’ was the cry in the lobbies and, the outer rooms; and straightway the wan dering members scudded into the house, as you see the fowls in a farm-yard hurry to the barn door when the farmer appears,- with sieve in hand, to throw to them their daily food. And every man inside settled himself dchvn, anxious to listen to the great orator on this his pet subject. Mr. Bright with Mr. Roebuck ; and what a scathing he administered to the member fotSheifield • _• rr-uuu'muoc ICSC lib Ho hear and see. It was.not invective, how ever, nor mere declamatory abuse. He did not use hard words, nor did he seem to be : in the slightest degree vindictive. The weapons of the honorable member for Bir mingham were facts well handled—handled as no one but he can handle facts. And as,, one by one, these terrible facts 'fell upon poor Roebuck’s head, - you almost felt pity for the assailed, and an inclination to im plore the assailant to have mercy. And how the House cheered and: laughed ! There are few members of any position in the House who have; not felt the power of IJoe buck’s sharp attacks, and hence the general pleasure evinced at seeing him under retri butory punishment. But, in justice to the honorable member for Sheffield, it is right to say 'that he took his punishment well and patiently. Once or twice he jumped up to correct Mr. Bright’s quotations, but, on the whole, he was marvellously patient, and bore .up bravely under the pitiless pfelting of the storm. -It is needless to say that this was a splendid speech. It had in it all the: characteristics of true oratory—close reason ing, sarcasm, manly pathos, high-wrought declamation. Towards tho close of the ora tion, when Mr. Bright was speaking, in his loftiest manner, certain young Conservatives clustered at the bar, who had just retired from dinner, began to groan. The House at once, however, quashed by a burst, of cheers this untimely and unseemly inter-, ruption; and the speaker closed his speech with a peroration which no one in the House but he could have conceived or delivered, and which few that heard it will soon" for get; ‘ I don’t agree with your friend in any thing,’ said an old Conservative to a Radical member; ‘ but he is unquestionably the grandest speaker in the House.’ And this is our verdict.” ' This is the opinion of many. Mr. Jons Bsigiit, emphatically-one of the people, is the most effective of English Parliamentary speakers; hut, because he has sprung from. 'the industrial classes, has not the most re* mote chance of being invited, even- should his liberal principles triumph, to form part' of any Administration in England. He is too honest a man for office there, and his with, nobility is rmothGi* cliaqimlifloatlon 1' The peroration of Mr. Bright’s speech, above referred to, is true as well as brilliant. He said : “We find the Government of the United States for two years past contending for its life, and in that contest contending necessarily for human freedom. It affords a remarkable example—the first in the his tory of the world—6f a great Government coming forth as the organized defender of law, freedom, and equality.” . He concluded thus: . ■ ' - “I have not B&id a word with respect to what may happen to England if you go to war with the United . States. It will be a war upon the ocean. Every thing that belongs to both nations, as-far as possi ble, will be swept from the seas; but when the trou bles in America age over, be they ended by the res to ration of the Union or by separation, what will be the feeling towards England of that great free peo ple, the most instructed in the world ?

OPERATIONS OF THE PAST WEEK. l«c Baffled in Several Attempts to Enter Eastern Virginia, Our Otwalry Active. Stuart's Cavalry Driven from Manassas Gnp-Movemcn t of tKe Rebels. Hjsauquarters Army of the Potomac, -July 25.—'The rebels were in force near Front Royal, but we drove their cavalry from Manassas Gap about sunset last evening. It is believed that they now intend to cross the Blue Ridge at Chester or Thorn ton’s Gap. At the former place they will meet with obstacles. Our army is full of high expectations and antici pations. Washington, July 25.—The National Republican, of this afternoon, states ,: “Positive information has been received here that General Lee has been delay ing on the Upper Potomac to enable him to getaway ■ safely with all the plunder he collected in Maryland ''and Pennsylvania,' and that hiß forces have been gathering the new crop of grain in the Shenandoah Valley ; that he Is now moving toward Richmond with immense trains of supplies; that the necessity of procuring these was increased by the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and is now intensified by the cutting of the Tennessee and Virginia Rail road, which was a great medium for procuring sup plies for his army.” * Washington, July 26.— Advices from the head quarters of the Army of the Potomac received to night say that during the paßt week our troops have not been idle, but by a close scrutiny of Lee’s move ments, have, by rapid marches, succeeded in baffling his several attempts to enter Eastern Virginia, and forestalled his attempted possession of the BLuq Ridge. ’ ' r It is generally believed that Lee is -how moving rapidly towards Staunton by the Shenandoah val ley.- He tried successively Snicker’s, Ashby’s, and Manassas%aps, but found a strong Union force. al ready there. At the two last placeßhe was driven back with loss., * ' >-r. : At Chester Gap • our cavalry recaptured eleven hundred head,of cattle stolen by the enemy, and se veral hundred sheep. A large number of horses have also been recovered. Several brisk skirmishes have taken place. With the exception of cavalry engagements, the principal' fight occurred on Thursday evening, between Linden .and Port Royalj in which a brigade of rebel infantry iw gimraj ttvts fIrtYVH Hirvugfc tlietown. The cavalry have done excellent service. The several commands have performed -arduous marches and reconnoissances, and completely foiled Stuart in All his attempts to raid on our flank and rear. Moseby’s small but energetic band have alone given us trouble by cutting off foraging I 'parties and messengers. A private of a cavalry regiment reports that on Friday as a division of cavalry was reconnoitring in the vicinity of Amißsville, a large column of rebel : infantry-was seen advancing in that direction, and. . our cavalry were compelled to fall baok. This force was supposed to be Longstreet’a corps. Up to Saturday night, however, this report had not been confirmed; It is impossible to conceive the poverty of the country through which the army has passed. The scanty resources left untouched by the rebels have been appropriated by our men, and nothing but star vation stares in the face of the sparse.population.. With the exception of Loudoun oounty, there is nothing to harvest, excepting a few acres of wheat and corn, and this must be done bv manual labor, as the country has been entirely stripped of stock.

The,following official despatch-was received at the- War Department yesterday: '? Dublin, July 19,1863, To General S. Cooper: The enemy, one regiment-of cavalry and parts of two regiments of infantry, about one thousand' strong, rode into Wytheville a little before sunset yesterday,: - Almost at the same instant two newly organized, companies and the employees of this place, in all about -130 men, with two field-pieces, whom! had despatched under Major T. M. Bowyer, by the pas senger train, arrived. A sharp skirmish immediately commenced in the Btreet,-and continued about three-quarters of an hour, when Major Bowyer retired with a part of his men, and brought them off in the train. Captain Olivemnd two citizens were killed, and Lieutenant* Rosany badly wounded, '• v .The enemy lost Colonel Toland, commanding the brigade, one other colonel, one major, and seven pri vates killed; one lieutenant colonel, and about twen ty-five men wounded, and in our hands. The lieu tenant colonel,. Powell,, is reported mortally wound ed. lam informed they lost every one of their field officers. The command left Wytheville about ten o’clock last night* retreating towards Tazewell Court House. It is now reported they are coming down Walk er’s creek to this place, if they retreat by the way they came, they will probably be intercepted and cut up. , "' They paroled, on their retreat, seventy-five or eighty of our men, whom, I suppose, they found it inconvenient to carry off. Of course, the parole, under such circumstances, is worthless, under their own order. The damage to the railroad can be repaired in an hour. The jail, commissary and quartermaster storehouses, and several private houses were burned. SAMUEL JONES, Major General.

A portion of our forces under General Parke, made an attack and were met by a legion of new recruits from South Carolina, who, after an engagement of half an hour, retreated with a loss of 300. Our men occupied their position until next morning, when • they made a second advance and discovered that the rebels had evacuated the town after setting fire to a number of the houses containing commissary stores. They were entirely consumed, together with some forty other buildings which were ignited from the houses fired by the rebels. The rebel army left but little behind. So delibe rately had they left the place that they took all their sick with them.

Wool, occurred in consequence of differencVwith Gen/Sandford, as will be seen by the following i - . Notwithstanding General Brown expressed wil" lingness, in case of being restored/'to servein accord ance with my orders, I regret being obliged to state that he afterwards evinced no - disposition to serve under General Sandford, but actually issued orders to troops stationed at the • latter’s headquarters, without any reference whatever to General Sand ford, which, however, were countermanded ’by the latter. - _ After this. Brevet Brigadier General Brown con tinued to act under the foregoing and other written and verbal orderß, which were -communicated from ■ me to him, until Friday morning, i7Ehjnst., when, by virtue of an order from the War Department, he was relieved by Brigadier General-Oanby, United States volunteers, of all the command he had previ ously exercised under myorders. - Many other orders than those quoted were issued duriDg the operations, which, as tbeyTefer to details in reference to posting troopß for the protection of . property—public and private—need not be submit ted ; and I have ample reason to believe that the I duties eDjoined by these orders were generally dis ;ch arged with efficiency by the regulars, volunteers, and. sailors, and several gunboats, under respective officers, furnished at my request by Bear . Admiral Paulding, as also by citizens who enrolled themselves for the occasion. General Sandford denies that any troops underMs orders were directed to fire blank cartridges. POSTERS IN THE CITY.' The following has been posted prominently through out the city : DON’T UNCHAIN THE TIGER ! When the traitors of South Carolina met in con vention in Charleston, and passed their ordinance to abolish the American Union, and to-crush'out the democratic principles of free government in Ameri ca, and when they afterwards fired upon Fort Sump ter, and I knew that secession meant a terrible war, I eaid to myself and to them—Don’t unchain the tiger! But they did it, and for two years we have seen and suffered the consequences, written in tears and blood, and ruin, in our once happy land; and now, when the rebellion is heing nearly-crushed, and Jeff Davis is finding his planß defeated, and Southern traitors, in the loyal States, are trying to help him by making civil war at home, I' say to myself—un chain the tiger J \ ' . When Ihear workingmen talteaboiit resisting the • law, burning houses, killing- public officers, and bursting the doors wide open foreverykind of crime and disorder, itseemsto me they do not think of all the cost and of all the horrors, or of widowß and or-, phans, and their scalding tears, and I say to them,- “ brothers, in the name of‘God-Mlon’t unchain the • tiger! s ’ " • When I see well-dressed demagogues filling the ears of the people with lice, just as the traitors of the South have done, only to get the workingman aroused to deeds ol crime-and violence, while they v; themselves take good care to keep out of the way, I wish I had the voice of- thunderer, that I might say to them—Don’t unchain-the tiger! Workingmen! when any man asks you to break the law, and tries to stir up-your passions, while he. skulks out of sight, you may set, him down as your worst'enemy. Spurn him as'you would a viper. The patriotic workingmen of the North cannot afford to Bpend time in killing each other. Be wise,- and above all things, don’t unchain the tiger. » A DEMOCRATIC WORKING-MAN; New York, July 24,1883..

Colonel Crosman has done a good, thing in issuing the accompanying official notice t Army Clothing and Equipage Office, Philadelphia; July 20,1863. Captain : The Hon. W. D. Kelley,, member of Congress, reports to me that a large majority of the women now employed atthe arsenal are not the near relatives of soldiers, and that many of them belong to families opposed to the war. You will, therefore, direct Mr. Irwin, the superintendent,of the clothing manufactory, to discharge from the‘rolls, immedi ately, ali such women who cannot bring satisfactory evidence—and this evidence must be in writing, and filed for reference—that they are the wives, mothers, and sisters, orother near relatives to soldiers or sail ors who have been, or are now, either in the army or pavy of the United States.

The fact that it was one of the largest freight ing ships ever built in this country, drew an eager and intelligent assemblage anxious to examine-so great a monster. The launching wa* effected at high tide, and the vessel glided easily and beautifully into the water, to the booming of cannon, and the cheers of the people; The breaking of? the christening bottle, an old-time usage, was performed by. Miss Mary Neafie, the accomplished. daughter, of one of the firm. The deck of the boat was crowded with ladies and gentlemen, and the American and Spa nish colors fluttered fore and aft. This vessel is 260 feet long, 38 feet beam, 14 feet in the lower hold, an d 6 feet between decks, being a three-decker. The cabin deck running the entirelength of the Bhip, is feet high.
