Vttss. FRIDAY, AUGUST, 14, 1863 sir We can take no notice of anonymous coramu. Wantons. We do not return rejected manuscripts. Sa - Voluntary correspondence solicited' from all parts of the world, and especially from our different military and naval departments. When used it Wilk be paid for. The Address of the Democratic state Committee. • Previous tothe Harrisburg Convention, there was any possibility that the Dernocra cy should be successful in the coinftirklec- tion, that possibility was destroyed ..b} - the norninatiOn dl Mr. Justice WooDwmtn. It, theii,:the ghost of a chancel remained, it is now ruined by the publication of the dress of the Democratic State, Committee No party could succeed witn. , such a candi date and such principles; for b - oth are op•- posed to _all that has made this country great and is indispensable to keep it united. A true 'Democrat, represeUting true Demo cratic principles, nominated for the G-over nOrship, Would have received many of those I oyal votes which must now, of :necessity, be given to Governor • CURTLN ; :nor would the difference between the principles of such a candidate and those of the National Union party have made his election dishonorable to the' t!tate and unfortunate for the country. Such a Democrat aSJorui BROUGII, of Ohio, though opposed, in many minor points, to the Administration, is worthy Of an election, no matter who might hare been his oppo nent; for he, like the loyal men of all par ties, ceased,to be a partisan when his coun- try was in.peril. We sincerely regret that GEORGE W. WOODWARD iS not such a Demoerat; for, tho Ugh we should still sup port ANDREW G. Cunmai; believing that his past services prove him to be the best Governor Pennsylvania could have; yet it would not be with our present feelings:that we should enter this great.campaign. We should not then declare, as we now earnest ly do affirm, that only in the re election of Governor CURTIN can Pennsylvania be saved from disgrace, and the continuance • of :ber loyalty be assured. : When the Democi atic State Committee pre pared- its Address to the People of Pennsyl vania it had the opportunity of doing great evil. .It might have appealed to the people in words of apparent candor, and beneath . the mask of patriotism have hidden the dis loyalty of its doctrine. A skilful pen might haYe registered false professions of devotion to the country ; an accomplished politician would have refused to denounce the Go vernment, no matter how bitterly he might" have longed for its destruction. Such a man would have had the cunning 44:pon ceal the -principles of his party, sinipir in order to aid their eventual success. Fortu nately for the country, the. address of the Committee makes little pretence to patri otism, but upholds all the pernicious doc trines which the Harrisburg Convention an nounced, and which Judge WOODWARD is pledged to defend. It attacks with the utL most partisan spirit the Governthent, and has not one earnest word.of sympathy for -, the country, nor one expression of hatred for the rebellion: Mr. CRADLES J. BIDDLE, chairman of the CoMmittee, and its reputed author,-has unintentionally, of course, done good service to the Union by writing a do cuthent which wiltsimply disgust all intelli gent peOple, and deserves a compliment for thus blunderlig into the service of his country. The Committee inforrns the public that it should now give "solemn consideration to the causes that have brought to its present con dition a country once peaceful, united, and . secure ;" but the public will weed& why the Committee did not do so itself. Of solemn consideration we have not a para graph. The entire address is nothing less than flippant abuse of the Administration.. The cause of the rebellion is defined to be the "triumph of a sectional party,", which means in Democratic parlance, the election of Mr. Iniccorac. Were, it necessary to ex pose 'this slander, we should simply ask what cause for rebellion 'exists in a consti tutional act of a majority of American voters. But if the Democratic StateCorn mit-tee chooses to insult the intelligence of the people we shall not aid them, by stating an argument which every man e can make for himself. The ehiction of Mr. LINCOLN was, undoubtedly, constitutional ; the Con stitution, then, according to Democratic logic, is the cause of rebellion against the Constitution. Why do not these philosophic gentlemen who do the thinking for their party, repeat the old argument, that feathers come from the sun, because light comes from the sun, and feathers, as all the world knows, are light? They might much better found their claims to sue . - cess upon a good pun than a -bad false hood, and if they must joke, not do so at the expense of their country. For our part, we have understood that the immediate cause _of . the rebellion was the defeat of a sectional party, and the final cause the. Se cession doctrines of JOHN C. Cst - noubt; preached for thirty years in the South, and reaffirmed by GEORGE W. WOODWARD, in his speech of De.cember, 1860. Bat one cannot expect a Dernocratic committee to accuSe its own candidate. " Truth compels us to add," says the De 'Moorage Committee, "that in the race of treason Northern traitors had the start" Gratifying as it would be to know that truth compels them in any way, we are afraid that it has little jurisdiction over politicians who oppose their 'country. The fact is that the doctrine that "there must be a time when slaveholdem may fall back on their natural rights, and employ, in defence of their slave ilroperty, -whatever means of protection they - possess "or ear, command," did not originate in the North, but bad been taught long be fore, 1860, by the traitors of the South. - Clearly, then, Southern traitors had the start . for years; other Wise the rebellion would have begun in Pennsylvania. We grant!.. that Northern traitors were not slow to act;' upon the example of their Southern breth Ten, but even the 'Democratic Committee cannot justly clalm for its candidate the -.honor of originating the treason which it is vainly endeavoring to palliate and protect. Judge IV oonwanu, we distinctly assert, was not the first to sJ,y that slayeholders had the Tight to rebel. On the contrary, he did not make this declaration till just before the war L roke out. JEFFERSON Da - yrs had tittered the same idea years before. Now, with what pretenc.e to truth can. the Committee claim prece,dence for Northern traitors ? We have heard in passing by grog-shops; and from the lips of intoxicated opponents of the Administration, that "it wages a war for the negro, and not for the Union," and have made useless endeavors to persuade such individuals to sign a pledge never to drink rum any more. But we did not ex pect to find those words soberly written, in the address of the Committee. But there: they are, coupled with the remarkable state ments "that when the slaves are all emanci pated, a constant military intervention will be needed to keep them above or equal with the white race in the Southern States," and that "the hope of setting up the negro in the place of the white man runs counter to the laws of nature." It is a fortunate thiv, for the Administration that old women are not allowed to vote, otherwise octogenarian suffrages, influenced by the announcement , of these awful truths, might create a start ling Democratic majority. , We imagine with-horror a procession of very old ladies, bearing torchlights and trimsparencies in scribed with these fundamental Detnocratic _truths, preceded by the emocratic State 'Committee, marching in holy indignation to the polls: The older art old woman might be, the more, profoundly would she admire the practical Wisdom Of these statements; and yet i we know a feiv respectable grand dames of ninety years who would live to a hundred and fifty without believing that the Administration desires to place the, negro race above the whites. But these grand mothers have grandsons in the army. For them Mr. BrDDLE does not write.. What is the first step toward the vinitei tion of civil liberty ? The subjugation of the rebellion, the reader answers. "Oh ! no, not at all," au the Democratic Solomon% " it is the overthrow of the Abolitionists at, the polls." It is then, beyond doubt, the duty of every Democrat to refuse to ,ealist in the army, but to stay at home and vote. "This," coolly says the address, " would strengthen the Government." Mr. BIDDLE informs us that "many gallant soldiers of the:Union have been driven from its service because they have not bowed down to the Abolition idol." But he has just -said that gallant soldiers are not needed in the army, but at the polls, and, consequently, even if his complaint were true, the more gallant soldiera -who are driven out of service the better for the country. So runs the Demo cratic argument, illustrated by the resigna tion of the colonel of the 42d Pennsylvania Regiment, at the time when his political in fluence was more important than his mili tary talents. After printing more than two columns of such argument, the Committee may well say to the people of Pennsylvania; Our princi ples and our candidates are well known to you:" : We should 'think so, and for the good of the country they cannot be too well known. The more candidly the Demo cratic party confesses its purpose the more decisive will be its defeat, and the less said of the principles of its candidate for the Go vernership the better it will be for him at the polls. Yet, the address commits the grand blunder of alluding to his speech of December, 1860, and stating that "it has been vindicated by subsequent events, as a signal exlnbition of statesmanlike sagacity." Need .we quote once more that sagacious statement which we have italicized above ? Need we say that if subsequent events have not vindicated the Piglet of slaveholders to rebel,. the fact that slaveholders have . re belled is 4' accordance with Judge Woon- WARD'S Principles ? We think it unneces sary to sair, 'anything more of a document distinguished only for its blunders and its falsehoods, unless it be this : that while whole columns are devoted to the worst abuse of the Government, the condemna tion of secession is containedin half-a-dozen feeble lines. The Associated Press Agency. , The Washington Chronicle recently made the following announcement in its editorial columns: "Mr. D. H. CRAIG, who has, for some years, acted as the telegraphic a-A-ent of the New York Associated Press, posi, tion of great importance, -bas been super seded." The Chronicle added, by way of comment, that "whatever may have been the 'cause for this change, the influential journals interested in the transmission of the news by the Associated Press -through out the continent of North Aanericit should now determine that one of the 'ablest, most experienced, and most impartial newspaper men should occupy that post. He should be a in £lll above partisan prejudices, and should receive so generous a salary as to act independently and fearlessly. It is a posi tion of trust and responsibility, and may be used for the best and most useful ends. We hone our newspaper associates in New York will see. to it that all .papers that pay full rates to the AssoCiated Press, and are ready to meet all the demands of the Association, will receive the last and fullest despatches." The force and justice of these observa tions will be generally acquiesced in, and they should command the attention their importanee merits. It having been Else - wise announced, however, that Mr. BRADFORD had been appointed as Mr. CliAlG's successor, we are assured upon-the best authority that such announcement was erroneous. The -very. responsible position made vacant by the retirement of the latter named gentleman has 120 i been filled, and will not be, except after the most careful deliberation. It is understood in newspaper circles in New York that it has been offered to SAMUEL WILKE:9ON, the Washington editor of the New York Times. We 'trust this may prove to be so, for such a position deserves just such a man—one who unites to rare ability and . vast newspaper experi ence incorruptible integrity and loyalty and the mast courteous manners. TN a double-leaded paragraph at the head of its editorial columns the -World, with its usual antipEithy to the truth, thus abuses the Administration : • " We invite the attention of every reader of The World to Judge Advocate General w'aterbury , s full exposure of the scandalous frauds of the Administra tion in its draft for conscripts from the State of New York. The facts and figures are conclusive. Every crncealment and evasion by which Mr. Lincoln, his subordinates . ," and his vegans, have striven to cover or disguise the shameful unfairness,:the political, par tisan enrolment, and the discriminations ii.ttemoteil in the draft, are torn away, and the purpose of the Ad ministration to deprive its opponents of their votes, now stands revealed as clearly in the conscription frauds in New York, as it did in the declaration of martial law and the triumph of the bayonet over the ballot in Kentucky." So much for a paper which, when it aban doned the special claim to piety it original ly preferred, went too far, and abandoned all claim whatever. But to prove its inde pendence of religion, it need not make a daily practice of breaking the command ment, which says : " Thou shalt not bear false witness." The charge of fraud, mani festly false, as we may take an early oppor tunity of showing, is'made upon the authori ty of Mr. WATERBURY'S statement, from which we now (Mote : "This scheme of fraud has certainly been conceiv.; ed end prosecuted without the knowledge of the Provost Marshal General. I found that gentleman not only ready to supply the fullest information, but also anxious to obtain a knowledge of every wrong or injustice. The President also was decided in. the expres sion of his views to the same e f fect, and was earnest and emphatic in the assurances he desired me to convey to you. that every substantial wrong or error point ed out to him should be corrected. We must look to the irresponsible cabal outside, which has often per- verted the present contest to uses worse than parti san, for the source of this iniquity." "Now, it is plain that the World basely ac cuses the President and the whole Adminis tration of frauds to which Mr. WATERBITRY himself denies they were in any way privy. Is this ignorance or conscious slander ? In any case, no one need expect the World to confess the one, or retract the other. FREEDOM' vs. BLACVERT—The Bokon Courier declares bluntly that " As no white man ought to consent to be a slave, no negro ought to desire to he , a free man in the United States." This doctrine is, of nourse, as atrocious in feeling as it is abaurd in reaSon. If -it allows the negro to be -a free man outside of the United States, why I. should he be a slave within? We presume its intended statement would be : " tls no white man should be-a slave,--so no negro should be -a freeman." Yet thousands of the negroes are intelligent freemen, and brave soldiers. Why, then, persistently ;insult hurnanity, patriotism, and common sense? Against the hard heads and harder hearts which hold the unchristian and uti 7 patriotic prejudice against the blacks, all events , ,And truths seem to beat in vain. When will .they learn in shame What now they Might know in honorthat if we would keep ourselves free, we must not deny free, dom to others; that "in giving freedom to the slave, we insure freedom to the free." The emancipation of the black man is simply a means for emancipating the nation. GRANTING, for the sake of argument, of which our opponents are economical, all that the worst enemies of the AdminiStra tionclaim, that it has erred in its plans for the prosecution of the war, we. still convict them of wicked hostility to the cause ; for while they ferociously attack the Admini stration for its mistakes, they never con demn the rebellion for its evil. Thus we find them abusing the friends of the country for their errors, while they forgive the ene mies of the country for their crimes. TEE PAY of a rebel soldier, owing to-the depreciation of Confederate moif6y,.is vir tually but one dollar a month. We have long hid a theory that JUDAS, after receiving but thirty pieces of silver, hanged himself because lie was cheated by. the Pharisees, and are not surprised that the rebel army is deserting its leaders because it was swindled at. Richmond.. IT IS VERY SINGULAR that if the Emanci pation Proclamation is onlSr -" a bull against the comet," the comet should have lost so much of its tail ; that if the Administration has done nothing but blunder, victory should be the result.; that if the New Democracy is the friend of peace, it should have done nothing to obtain it GEN. GRANT'S REPORT.—We have little history so valuable as that which the hero of the Vicksburg campaign first established in.his efforts and triumphs, and now contri- butes to the archives of the nation. This report tells a glorious story of war With 'sot . . dierly simplicity and ability, and fairly and modestly exhibits the generous valor of the great army to which Vicksburg surrendered. Such a record is worthy of the praise of the world, and of time. The accounts hereto fore received of the operations of General GRADIT upon Vicksburg, have been, of course, fragmentary. This report is the full, legible, and proper history Of the fa mous campaigns. LETTER VIM)11 "OCCASIONAL: WAsiuNGTori, August 13, 1863 I do not hear a word from any of the loyal Pennsylvanians now temporarily in ;Wash ington of opposition to the nomination of Goverrior Curtin, or of doubt as to hiS tri umphant 're-election. All are resolved to give ; hint an earnest support,. and to make the•canvass active, energetic, and thorough. Gen. J. K. Moorehead, member elect from. the great city of Pittsburg, gives it as his opinion that there will be a very slight falling Off in the vote of Allegheny county, in con sequence of the opposition to Governor Cur tin's nomination; because all see the over powering necessity of saving Pennsylvania from a calamity like the triumph of Justice Woodward. This is the plain, practical is sue. he people :need nothing more than to have it plainly set before them. But, apart from the unity that results from har mony of principle, is the necessity of avoiding divisions among ourselves, either as to past questions or coming issues. The great object of thesympathizers with Seces sion is to divert attention from their known attachment to the rebellion.: Hence they will labor with the greatest energy to sow - the seeds of dissension among the friends of the Government and the. war: The best remedy, and the surest protection against such designs, is to attack the foe incessantly and fearlessly. Let our blows be quick and terrible. The very worst attitude for man or party is that of explanation or defence. And I have always belleved.that the best method of defence against the attacks of the enemies of my country is to disdain their assertions, and to assail them on the ground of their notorious disloyalty. The voter who is fixed in his attachment to his country and his government does not ask you to con vince him of the hypocrisy and falsehood of the accusations of a party Opposed to both; and it is not certainly our province to attempt to convert those who will not, and never intended to be converted. The task the loyal men Of Pennsylvania have in hand, therefore;"is very plain. It is to rescue their State not alone from the degradation, but the appalling danger to public and to private property, that will un doubtedly avenge the - elevation of such a man as George W. Woodward to the gu bernatorial office. It is in vain to expect anything from him that is not revolutionary or treasonable. We can anticipate his po licy by the realization of that of Horatio Seymour, of New York. Seymour's course shows that once the virus of sympathy with the rebellion. poisons the blood, it cannot wholly be eradicated. He is now engaged in the shameless task of defeating the draft in New York, and his corregiondence with the President . exhibits.a heartless indif ference to his country's cause, which is only equalled by the deliberation which, with out seeming to do so, invokes the spirit and caters to the savage instincts of the mob. Neithei the inspiration of the July victories of the Union army and navy, nor the elo quent admonition of the July tumults in - New York, has deterred him in his cold blooded and Satanic purpose. The rights of person and the rights of property involv ed and imperilled in this deliberate treason of the chief magistrate of the greatest Ame- rican State, should create . such au antago nism and such a hatred against all men of Seymour's class, as to consign them to im mediate and perpetuarinfamy. George W. Woodward, if chosen Governor of Pennsyl vania, would prove to be a far more danger= ous enemy of the country than Horatio Sey mour. His relatiOnship to and hiS co-opera• tion with the Calhoun politicians dates back through many years, and he has never con cealed his earnest sympathy with the rebel lion. He has never deigned to explain, much less to repent, his invocation to vio lence and bloodshed in 1800, after Mr. Lin coln's election. Observe the temptation furnished to such a man in the, event of his triumph!' Our State, unlike that of New York, is bordered by three slave Common wealths—Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. A disloyal Governor could, therefore, work inconceivable harm by giving encourage ment and information to all those influences which are ever ready to strike at the Union by assisting treason. He would be far more hurtful to the- common cause than Vallan digham, because he would hide his purposes under pompous professions, and wield his pow under constitutional or legal pretexts. Every interest, therefore, political or per sonal,. individual and collective, commercial and agricultural—interests as well of pro : . petty as of State—should arouse and arm themselves against the bare_ possibility of such a catastrophe as the election- of George W. Woodward. OCCASIONAL. wAB7E3YI+i GrTOI+7. Special Despatches to The Press. WASHINGTON, Auguot; 13, 1863. Double Tracks Between New York and Washington. The several railroad companies constituting the line between Washington and New York (now tem porarily represented here by their agents) are busi ly engaged in the iedemption of their promises made last winter, for the construction of a double track along the entire line. The double track between Trenton and New York will soon he completed, and a large force is at work between Trenton and Philadelphia. From the latter city southward the double track is complete to New ark; Delaware, and , it will be speedily finished be tween Baltimore and Washington. Work is progressing upon the bridge across the Susquehanna, and there is a prospect that a double track road, without any changes of cars, will soon be provided between Washington and New 'York. The companies. have ordered thirty new first-class oars for the line. The Army. Everything le reported quiet to-day in the Army of the Potomac. . Admiral Farragnt. Rear Admiral FATCRAGIIT'S visit to Washington has no reference to future operations, but is in ac cordance with the kind invitation of the Secretary of the Navy, to do so at his convenience, at the same time expressing to him the thanks of the Government for his valuable services to the country. Naval. The ofllcers of the Potomac flotilla report having seen no rebel demonstrations on the river for a month past; The British blockade-runner Neptune has been re christened thelllyde, and is being fitted out at the Washington navy yard as a gunboat. PANAMA Nzur YORK, August 13,—8y the arrival of the steamer Ocean Queen the following advises from Panama have been received,: PANAMA, August s.—The Ocean Queen arrived at Aspinwall on the 2.d, and owing to the Constitution reaching Panama a day a head of time, the Ocean Queen leaves to day for New York.. The Constitution brought the news from Aca pulco that the Mexican Church party had declared the Arch Duke Maximilian, of Austria, Emperor of Mexico, and also that a French fleet is to sail from France to take possession of Sonora. Moequera, the Pre,sident, is expected at Panama on the 10th inst., when the city will be the capital, and probably remain so for some months. Mosque ra's family has started for Europe. AFFAIRS IN SALVADOR. [From the ?enema Star and Herald.] The .Government of .Salvador (Gen. Barrios) though still at San Salvador on the 27th of July, may lie said to be reduced to that city, for their communications, except with the fort of Lthertad, are cut off, and the Guatemalian troops are reported to have moved on San Vinoente with the intention of cutting off the connections of the capital with the department of San Miguel. They are without reve nues of any kind, except such sums as are derived from the sale of goods belonging, to those wko have refused to support this Government or, pronounced against it. • The half brother of Gen. Barrios (al.. Espinosa), has been seized and is held as a hostage. They threat en to occupy Santa Techa, and, in that event, the road from the capital to the port would be in their hands. Gen. Hernandez, who had been sent by Barrios to Serehitile with arms and men to oppose Germs, at first hid himself; and finally joined Corns. The Provisional , Government of Duenas is at Santa Ana, which department, together with those of Sonsonute, Chatateuango, Cuscallan, and probsi bly San Vincente, are in the hands of that party, who have also taken possession of the custom house it Acsjiatla.

ATTAR ON FORTS WAGNER AND SUMPTER RENEWED ON THE lath INST. LARGE REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVED THE FALL OF SUMPTER A CERTAIN PROSPECT. Nsw YORS. August 13.—The steamship drag° arrived at this port today from Port Royal, via Charleston bar at eight o'clock on Monday morn ing. She brings the 17611 Pennsylvania Regiment, six hundred strong, whose term of service has ex pired. Our correspondent, under date of the Bth inst., says; "The rebels have built numerous additional batteries on James Island, and we will have to en counter a hundred more guns than Dupont had op posed to him. They are also building interior linen of defences close to the city. " Not Meet than seven thousand troops have land ed on Morris Island during the past week from the North." Under the date of 5 P. Pa. of the sth, he mays : "General Gilmore hay notified Admiral Dahlgrea that he will be in readineea to commence the assault on the 13th. "The navy is all ready, an that the fight will corn mence on that day. "The greatest confidence in felt rie to the result. The fall of Forts Sumpter and Wagner and Coin iningn Point is regarded as a certainty hi from two to six hours. "A deserter from Fort Wagner says two•thirds of the guns have been removed from Fort Sumpter, and mounted on James Island, and that the fall of Fort Sumpter is regarded by the - rebels as -a certainty, the damage done by the Monitors in April rendering the possibility of holding Sumpternot to be thought of. " A deserter also says that Sumpter was on the point of surrendering when the monitors withdrew in the last attack. • "We have been shelling night and day. Fort Johnson keeps up a brisk fire, and our woollen gun. boats go in every day and shell the rebels. At night the rebels shell our land batteries, and we shell them in return. "On Sunday next we will certainly hold Sump ter, and within a few days after, Charleston, or its ruins, will be in our possession. "Five mortar schooners and the wooden gunboats are stripping for the fight. "The weather continues delightful, though there is great suffering for want of ice, lemons, and sugar. Cannot Boston,. New York, or Philadelphia send cargoes here for the use of our gallant sailors and soldiers I" At the time the Arago leaves, the °Howe; Mar blehead, Seneca, and Ironsides are engaged in shell ing the Cummings Point battery. The Arago reports our , losses at Morris Island as very trifling, not exceeding three or four casualties per day. The bark Faith, from Philadelphia, was totally lost on Port Royal bar ou the 3d instant. THE BIG GIIN AT CHARtiO , Torr—vraAr IT OA3T.DO The breaching power of the.lo inch 300-pounder Parrott rifled gun, now about to be usedjagainst the brick walls of Fort Sumpter, will be beet understood by comparing it wiih the ordinary 24-pounder siege gun, which was the largest gun employed for breach ing fortifications during the Italian war. A 24-pounder round shot, which starts with a ve• locity of 1,625 feet per second, strikes an object at the distance of: 3,500 yards with a velocity of about 300 feet per second. The 10-inch rifle 300-pound shot has'an initial ve locity of 1,111 feet, and has afterwards a remaining velocity of 700 feet per second' at a distance of 3,500 yards. From well•known mechanical laws, the resistance which these projectiles are capable of overcoming is equal to 33,750 pounds, and 1,914,150 pounds, rained one foot in a-second, respectively. Making ance for the difference of the diameters of these pro jectiles, it will be found that their penetrating power will be as 1 to 19.6. The penetration of the 24 pounder allot at 3,500 yards, in brick work, is 42 inches. The penetration of the I.o.inch projectile will, therefore, be between six and seven feet into the same material. to use a more familiar illustration—the power of the lo•ineh rifle-shot at the distance of 3,500 yards, may be said to be equal to that of the united blows of MOO sledge•hanimers weighing• 100 pounds each, falling from a height of ten feet and, acting upon a drill ten inches in diameter.

Our line along the Rappahan nock is very extensive ; but as there are only few places on the river where they would attempt a pas sage, such a long picket line is not so much an ob ject of safety as of observation. General Gregg's command - is over the river, but there is no enemy in front of him. It must be very disagreeable to have so many men engaged in guarding a railroad. Yet a large forc'to is now lying all along the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, watching that guerillas do not tear up the track and cut the wires. ARRESTS UNDER MEADE'S' ORDER—OON VOYING TRAINS. Large numbers of citizens have been arrested since Gen. Meade composed his last order. What dispo sition has been made of the men I cannot state. I fear we will have to make some fearful examples of these land pirates before .they desist fi om their law less practices. Many of the robberies committed upon sutlers might have been avoided by a proper exhibition of firmness and courage. I know of one instance where a single brigand, with his revolver; captured a train of twenty wagons. Sutlers should have some understanding before starting on their dan gerous journey; and if there is any possible choice in the matter, they ought to be the captors instead of the captives. Cavalry escorts are generally furnished now, and one would imagine thi,na troubleaome. But last night a sew e of sutlers, with some ten or twenty wagons, were captured in spite of the cavalry escort. How this happened I could not learn with sumctent precision to warrant publication. Our cavalry, whin they are convoying a sutler train, have just learned a very disagreeable custom of arresting every man they meet on the road who wears gray homespun. 1 have noticed, when some of our wagons were jolt ing along, heavy with valuable stores, in the direc tion of Centreville, that some women would say, "Run, Sissy, and tell your mother there's some more folks coming." It is a very remarkable coincidence that a great many captures are made in that locality. Would it not be a good plan to stop " Sissy" from conveying such in form ation 1 PAYING- OFF -A large portion of the army has been paid.

For over two weeks we have had to live, move, and breathe in an atreosphere warmer than the furnace prepared for the three conscientious Hebrews. I have been unable to glance at a thermometer, but should think that when under the vertical rays of a meri dian sun, it would reach one hundred and fifty de grees. At night it is almost as warm, and through the day it is so:enervating and exhaustive. People can scarcely stand on their feet I hope you are spared such a hot term in quiet Philadelphia.

A FACT AND A PARABLE We appear very unfortunate in having so many ' traitors at home, and so many hollow friends abroad. I 'do not know which are the worst. It is very pro- Voking to find ourselves abused by foreigners whom we have feted, feasted, and lionized. But it seems so amusing that those who live under a Govern ment with so many deformities ahould stop to point out bow hideous ours is ! These gentlemen pretend to be' All 'eye, all ear;' , everywhere, nowhere." This would not be so bad it they would suppress the tongue of which they seem to say nothing. A Frenchman of high rank in fa belle France visited Venice. While sojourning there he was robbed of his purse, containing,five hundred ducats, Imme diately he attacked the Government for its weak nese . and corruptness, and bitt, rly exclaimed against the negligence of the police. One day, on his way back to terra firma, his gondola was suddenly stopped in ibe w f irlat of the stream. Upon inquiring the reason for this detention, his gonqoliers silently pointed to a small boat with a scarlet flag fluttering at its bow. After'a few moments consumed in sig nalling, it pushed alongside, and Monsieur was called on board and asked, "Are you the Prince de Croon?" "1 Alen !" he curtly replied. " Were, you robbed on Friday night of five hundred ducats?" "Yes:" "In a green purse?" "Yes." "Do you suspect any one?" "I suspect my servant" "Think you would know him again ?" "To be..sure." At this stage of the conversation the interrogator pushed aside an old cloak that lay near, and the Prince saw his purse in the hands of 'his servant, now dead. "Take it," said the, speaker, " and re member that mine set their fret again in a country where they abuse the Government." Plot a week passes but some one touches our shores, tastes our hospitality, sees the benign work legs of a government far better than their own, and then they slander the people, their Peculiarities, their institutions, their Government.

NEW YORK August 12; $863 No virtues need be expected in New Yorli that are inimical to a feverish and perspiring frame of mind. The dull, brassy blue of the heavens which do not cease to glow like a furnace, and the glaring clouds which heap their White, cindery masses therein, have hung above us with a pertinacity me lancholy to contemplate. In this whole city, which is surely now, if never before, the hot bed 01 loyalty, there is not one cool nook, not one shadow which does not belie its own virtues. As you sag tip Broad way, for you cannot walk or even loiter, your eye is refreshed with nothing suggestive or coolness. The red and white fronts of the buildings seethe and snap with the heat; the pavements resemble the hot bars of the old English ordeal; and up, up into the brassy blue arcane., surge billows of atmos phere whose temperature bids defiance to the thermometer,• and whose contact with the tor mented cuticle is like that of the terrible mistral. In the narrow streets, the heat lies in stagnant strata. Bete and Shore, at the dark mouth of some alley way, the (Inlet old women sit smoking their pipes, end dreaming of arctic circles and north poles; hut beyond these isolated exceptions, we are a bluster ing I:immunity, without nerve or spirit. Deaths by sun-stroke are of almost hourly occurrence. Men and women drop here and there upon the scorching pavements; horses drop in every street; diseases are aggravated; and still the sun waves this filming sword, and the cool breezes come not. Such a con tinuance of furnace-like heat has not been known in the community for an age ; and under the infliction we are becoming cindery and fossilized. Last week the teport of the City Inspector showed the number of deaths, from the effects of the sun, to have been upwards of a hundred and thirty—and still there is no abatement of the dreadful list. To day a faint breeze renders life rather more tolerable, the ther mometer at noon showing only 84 degrees; nearly ten degrees less than yesterday. . . As a result of this perverse torridity, the supply of ice in the city is fearfully small. The ice-houses have not been proof against the heat, and the compa nies are advancing their prices in - a manner which bids fair soon to exclude the poorer classes from the benefits of- cold water and other bibulations contain ing ice. INDICATIONS OP ANOTHER RIOT ThPee little deeds are observable. The Copperhead organs of the city are calling upon their followers to rally and perfect their organizations. The World of yesterday calla for en ascertainment - of " the probable number of bold, courageous, determined men, who are sufficiently masters of themselves and of the passions generated in a vehement struggle ;" desires "a well weighed and concerted plan," and by way of defining the ob ject in view, declares that. the question "is fast passing beyond the domain of argument," and that an attempt to enforce the conscription " will create a necessity for large armies in every loyal (1) State." Thiisis exactly the tone assumed by the Copperheads when before inciting their accomplices to arise and butcher their political opponents, and the respecta ble men of all denominations throughout the city. Nor is this the only fact upon which a predication of further bloodshed may be based. An espril de corps is observable among the great mass of the um; 1 eduCated. I have heard of one instance where a gentleman, residing at his country seat on Long Island, warned his coachman against joining any mobs which might arise, and stating that if he ob jected to .the conscription act, a substitute would be furnished him at thegentleman's expense. " Thank Sou," was the reply ; "but I'll do what thereat do." This is but one instance of thousands, and what further proof of en organized scheme to resist the Government could be desiredl It is not the draft that these fellows oppose; it is the Government of the United States. and the men who up hold it in its efforts to crush the rebellion. But undoubtedly they will again make the draft an excuse for more proscription by the knife and blud geon. The plans of the Copperheads are well known outside the country. On the arrival of the steamer China, yesterday, a passenger made this remark : "From what I heard at Queenstown I expected to find New York in ashes." Let it be remembered that this accords with the latest threats of the Cop perheads—the-city was to be fired in a hundred places simultaneously. Every day these evidences of renewed violence accumulate, and seem to point only to one object—the overawing of the Govern ment through the peril of its greatest commercial city. No one doubts for a moment how this last de spairing attempt will end, and speculation is only 1 _busy with -a computation of how much havoc and destiuction of life it may cause before final suppression. Governor Seymour's " servant.girl panic" finds . a parallel in the statement that nothing but sheer good fortune preserved the har bor forts from the rioters during the late trou• bles. This is simply absurd. In no one instance did the mobs evidence even drunken courage; when cornered, they fought; when victory over a handful a policemen was assured, they, fought; but when ever the faintest doubt of the result could be enter tained, they fled like sheep. Marshal Murray and his wife, in one instance, routed a mob of several hundreas. The idea of these cowards attacking a fort, even if garrisoned only by a corporal's guard, - is simply childish ; and to-day. - you could scarcely find any dozen regulars or marines who would not wager their lives that they could hold any one of the forts against any force of tuch pusillanimous hounds that the Copperheads could send against it. What ever nary . ' have been the case then, however, this thing is certain : there ace enough men now encamp ed in our vicinity to render any future attempt ahor- tive. The Copperhead element is now thoroughly understood, and the day of its opportunity is;past. STUYVESA.N.C. Judge Advocate Waterbury's peport. [From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser A long report from Judge Advocate Waterbury to Governor Seymour is published to.day. This is the document referred, to in the late correspondence be tween the Governor and the President. The errors in the enrolment named by Governor Seymour, and whicn the President promptly promised to correct, are elaborated at great length in this report. On this point nothing new is presented, though Mr. I Waterbury labors to prove that these errors weie purposed, and then very candidly observes that "if the drawing is fair the wrong of over enrolment will be substantially remedied," What be calls "the scheme of fraud," he says, has " cer tainly been conceived and prosecuted without the • knowledge of the Provost Marshal General," which ' officer he found anxious "to obtain a knowledge of every wrong or injustice." > The President also was "earnest and emphatic in the assurance he desired me to convey to you (the. Governor) that every sub stantial wrong- or error pointed out to him should be corrected." Further on he reports the President as saying with an " earnestness that Dlr. Waterbury was glad to observe, "I will not permit either a real or an ap parent fraud." Such an expression from a really honest man and politician must indeed be very be wileering to a thick.anilthia Democrat of the Sey mour school, who is called upon to "observe" what is so opposed to all his preconceptions of the duty of a party leader. An infusion of the President's "earnestness" and sincerity would not harm the po liticians who are doing what they can to excite hos tility to the draft. and to hamper the efforts of the Government in putting down the rebellion. The plan in which the conscription is made, is stated for the firsttirne in this report. Col. Fry, in a letter to the Governor, says: "No given number of men has been fixed as the quota of men to be drafted from the United States ,or any particular State. The rule is to take one fifth - of the enrolled men of the first class in each and every Congressional district as the quota for that district, without regard to other districts ofthe State, or to oilier States. If in the enrolment of a district names that should have been entered are omitted through neglect, acci dent, or design, - the General Government is alone the loser, as it calls for one-fifth of the enrolled men of the first class in that district, whether it be many or few. It ia in this particular that the imperfections of the enrollment are to be found, but, as stated, no district or class of men suffer from it. . . It maybe, however, that in- some districts non-resi dents and aliens have been enrolled; but if such- is the case, no hardship to the district or people - is likely to arise from it, and all such, if drawn in the draft, will be discharged, and their places are not to be filled by the district, the fifty per cent. additional to the quota being called for only to supply vacan cies calmed by exemptions granted under the law to residents of the district. In assigning quotas to districts of States, which States have heretofore furnished an excess of troops, the said excess is distributed pro rata among the districts, and deducted from their quotas." The result of this is that while the people suffer no hardship, the Government alone is projudiced, as it gets fewer men than if the enrolment was perfect. The.quotas raised by volunteering are all credited, and, as Mr. Waterbury says, the War Department has rendered a full measure of justice to this State in conceding that it has more than supplied all the men'which have been called for. It is nonsense to talk of unfair drawing. AU the names are shaken up together ' and they - Muet come out by chance. The fact that in many cases the en rolling officers themselves have been drawn. is evi dence of fair dealing. Under any circumstances, there would he fault-flnding; and that every mouth might be stopped, the Government might well adopt the plan suggested by the Judge Advocate, and which, he says, " will prevent any possibility of fraud." 1. Print the renrolment list of each ward and town in older that the public may know what names are to be put in the wheels. As the lists are made out in the alphabetical order of the initial letters of the surnames, the only trouble or delay will be in the printing. 2. Have the drawing made by a person to be se lected by the local authorities; and each name as drawn read aloud and recorded. . . 3. After the draft for conscripts is concluded, con tinue the drawing until all the names are drawn, in order to prove that all were in the wheel. 4, If the drawing of a town or ward is not finished at one session, confine the wheel during the recess to the joint custody of the provost marshal and some ore to be selected by the local authorities. These regulations are said to be in the spirit of circular No. 41 of Colonel Fry, though " more full and comprehensive." The third regulation would, however, obviate the necessity of the fourth, though the President has already offered to let Governor Seymour designate "the local authorities" as 'in— specters of the enrolment, and he would have no ob jection to their "sitting up" with the wheel, or in any other way assisting to make the draft, as he de sires it, free. from any "real or apparent fraud." The correspondence between the Governor and the President, and this report oT the Judge A.dvo cal e, have done much to clear up the atmosphere. In every line the honesty, directness, impartiality, and firmness of the President are conspicuous. His purity of purpose and action is vindicated. In what a different light does it present the Governor of New York, and those who attend or follow him in the tortuous and involved mazes of this last deaperate political scheme. The following resolutions were passed without A dissenting voice in the Kentucky Union Conven tion, which met at. Louisville on the 18th of March, 1863: " Resolved, That this Convention approve and en dome the principles embodied in the joint resolu tions upon Federal affairs, adopted by the General A seem bly of this Commonwealth, at its late cession, and hereby reaffirm the same. "Resolved, That the present causeless and wicked rebellion should be crushed by the whole power of the Federal Government, and the national authori ty restored over all the revolted States, and we are in favor of devoting our whole resources, if necessa ryl to the accomplishment of that object.

Life on the Missouri Border. THE SUPVERTNOP or IIN7ON MEN. A letter from Kansas City, Missouri, 6th inst., to the St. Louie Democrat, gives the following in refer ence to life on the border: " Mr. Henry Tull an influential farmer, whn For- Dimly lived in this-(Jackson) county. near Lone Jerk, where, for fifteen years with hie family, he enjoyed the luxuries of a quieehome, is now a refu gee. Months ago he fled for his life and left his family there. The guerillas robbed him of about eight thousand dollars' worth Of property, and finally his family had to move up to within a short distance of the line between Missouri and Kaneae—flßeen miles south of this place. That gentleman is here to•day, and says that for a long ttme he has not been able to sleep at his new home at nights; that his house is often visited by the thieving, murdering miscreants in search of him. They were at hie house lest Friday night, and, not finding him. they robbed the house. Mr. Tull came round through Renege to this city. He dare not `not come. here or go home throughtltTispouri. °On last Frida night a band of bushwhackers went over into Kansas, near Shawneetown, to do 'tome robbing and murdering. Near that town they went to the house of Mr. Kunnele to kill him, hut he thwarted their thirst for blood by a very narrow ekape through the back window. On the same night, not far from there, they killed a Mr. Payne in his own house; then went to within three miles of Shawneetown, to the house of Mr. Bookout, and murdered him. They wounded an old man, Mr. Savers, and he escaped. Two women. dressed in men's clothing, were along with these wretches. They intended to kill five more men that night, but tbey escaped. I sill informed by an officer that two more men were killed last night, and two houses burned, not far from here. "A. few nights ago a party of these prowling devils binned a valuable house near Independence, belong ing to Judge Buchannon, of that town, and two other houses near by. One of them belonged to a Cries, >a good old Union man. Since my last to you some of the same handset the ferry boat on fire, on the Blue, between here and Independence, and burried the bridge across the Little Blue, below Independence." VICKSBURG RENOVATED Vicksburg is to be thoroughly renovated. The town bag been divided into eight districts, under the eupervkion of that number of officers, whose duty is to examine residences and yards. and direct the removal of everything of an unhealthy nature. The sick are to be removed at once to a hospital, or pest home. The dead are to be buried within twelve hours after decease. Rations are still issued daily to upwards of one thousand of the old inhabitants of Vicksburg. Many have property, but lack the kind of money taken by the commissary. The superintendence of the railroad interests at Vicksburg has been placed t _4ll charge of Col. George H. Cradlebaugh, of Gen. DEePhereon's staff. Mr. Beecher in Paris. - - - - Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's last letter to the In dependent contains the following : * * "Our first Sabbath in Paris was a be wilderment. It was not so much a variation in the mode of keeping Sunday as a total destruc tion of all our ideas of Sabbath-keeping. Busi ness goes on; the streets are thronged with peo ple bent on pleasure. end the very air is filled, not. with peace, but with social exhilaration—with pleasure and bustle ; in abort, not with any sug gestion of another world, but with every phase of the enjoyment of this world. In our land, it may be that cheerful and social elements are too much excluded from religion but here it is religion that seems to he shut out from the Sabbath and all its worldly enjoyments! Beneath my room. I count a hundred laborers at work upon the new opera house. 3n the strrete teams trail their usual loads. The shops displaytheir wares, and nothing in the exte rior aspect of the city would have revealed to me the day if my calendar had not indicated it. Yet, I am assured that a great change has taken place, and that, at the wish of Government, there is far less secular business transacted than formerly, and that even those stores that keep open in the morning are closed at noon, that their occupants may mingle with the-universal amusements of the day. On the second Sabbath the tidings came to us of the fall of picks burg and the retreat or Gen. Lee. One must be in a foreign land, among unfriendly and unsyrap%thizing people, to know how sweet good news of one's coun try is ! I eat in our American minister's slip at church, on Sabbath morning, having just beard the tidings. After the preliminary service, and while McClintock was giving out notice,' I turned to Miss Dayton, by whom I sat, and whispered in a few words the good tidings, saying, in apology, that I hoped it would help her sing .the hymn of praise which came next in the service. She dropped her head, in tears of joy, and wept, for singing, du ring all the hymn It pleased me ; she shall have a place in the book of my remembrance, with all who love God and our dear country." THE WAR DEMOCRATS OR THE' WEST.--01 the - Democratic party in the West only a small part op poses the war or desires the success of the rebellion. In all the Statea there are thousands of earnest De mocrats who refuse to follow the lead of Mahoney, Yallanclighare. Si. Co. These put aside altogether partisan ponsiderationg and unite with the Repub. :hears on a common platform of devotion to the cause of the nation. This is especially true of In diana, where the War Democrats are everywhere organizing, determined to sustain the constituted authorities in enforcing the laws, at whatever cost or sacrifice. At a meeting of Democrats in Clark county, in tkat State, held recently to -appoint dele gates to the State Convention, the following resolu tion was adopted : Resolved, That we are in favor of a viebrous prosee eution of the war, and we will cheerfully and zea lously support the Administration in the use of any and all means necegsary to suppress the infamous rebellion on the pArt of Southern traitors against the Government of the United States ; and that we are opposed to any cessation of hostilities until The last armed rebel shall he forced to lay down his arms, and the laws, wider the Constitution, shall be enforced Throughout every inch of territory within the limits of the United States. The mass State Convention of the war. Democrats of the. State will he held at Indianapolis on the 20th instant. Among the speakers invited to he present we Lewis Cass, General John A. Logan, Daniel S. Dickinson, .Tames T. Brady, General John A. Mc- Clernand, James Guthrie , and others. 'X" IE-1.E.: aJ , I -"fx.— The Thermometer. AUGUST 13, 113332.

NNE...E by N...E by N 'ERE DRAFT IN TELE FIRST DISTRICT.— The number ,of applications for exemption is very large in this district, averaging about one hundred per day, and the examining surgeon, Dr. Marselis, is untiring in his attention to the.very responsible duties of his position; and the great impartiality shown by him to the rich and poor claims and de serves the highest commendation. Of course, vexa tious delays must necessarily occur, and many per sons have to...forego their usual employment in seeking a chance to present their claims to the Board, which, however,' is trnavoidaffie. Not only have thoee drafted to be examined, but also a large number of substitutes offering daily. &any ludi crous scenes occur daily,, among which witthit of an Irishman, who claimed exemption on the plia of having a stiff leg, caused by a wound which he stated he had received while in the army. The examining physicians were of the opinion that his leg could yield under the influence of chloro form. but the disabled man thought that he was the best judge of his bodily injuries. He was perfectly. willing, however, to be subjected to the test of chloro form, and felt sure that the test thus applied would prove his statements to be correct, as he had been shot while in the army, and had suffered from the difficulty complained of ever since. He thought it hard that his certificate of exemption, given by the army surgeon, should not be taken as sufficient evi dence of the truthfulness of his statements. Alounge was brought into the room by order of the doctors, and a guard was despatched for some ether. After hie return the disabled man was told to divest him self of his clothing., and place himself on the - lounge, fOr the purpose of being subjected to the test. With difficulty he reached his proper position, when ether was administered, during which the person in ques tion was very turbulent, and it was not until the contents of a large bottle of ether had been con sumed on him that he was brought under its influ ence. The experiment resulted In a satisfactory conclu sion being arrived at in reference to his case. The leg, which had been crippled for months, was made as pliable as that of a person who had never been injured by a:-rifle shot., Yrhe different physicians, on 'witnessing the performance, pronounced the conclu sion arrived at as bbing most satisfactory. Hun dreds of cases similar to this have come before the examining .boards of the different drafting head quarters. During the morning several cases of hernia were presented, this complaint existing to an incredible extent. The examinations were delibo rate and impartial, the poor and the rich being sub ject to the same tests, and in but a single case, that of the man with the stiff leg, was there any dissatis faction expressed by the parties examined. So greist is the amount of labor yet to be perform. ed by the Board, that a long time will yet be re quired nefore the work is completed. The fairness and impartiality shown by the Board to all classes gives general satisfaction. MR. MURDOCH AT, THE; ACADEMY OF Music—Notwithstanding the warmth of last eve ning. there was a large audience to listen to the finished address of Mr, James H. Murdoch on "'Our Responsibilities as &Mexican Citizens in the Present Crisis," The lecture was delivered under the au-' spices of the Union League, in behalf of the sick and wounded soldiers, and was attended by many of our best and most intelligent citizens. Mr. Murdoch was introduced to his auditors in complimentary terms by ex-Governor Pollock, who premised the formal introduction with a general statement of the flattering emcees which Mr. Mur doch had met in all the cities where the lecture had already been delivered. Mr. Murdoch came forward amid much applause. He said that his lecture was more the etteriWflis heart than his mind. It contained is few suggestions appropriate to the times. His life had been spent in rehearsing the sentiments of others,.but now it be hooved every man to speak out his own feelings and sentiments, boldly and fearlessly, in behalf of an imperilled country. „New obligations and new duties are, thrusting themselves upon the American citi zen, and we find ourselves called c upon to meet new requirements. The nation w'as passing,' through a fiery ordeal, and it was a duty of every citizen to ex amine the character and patriotism of those to whom are committed the destinies of our country; those to whom we look to bring us safely through a battle which is to be decisive f,r the cause of humanity and freedom on this continent. The fall of Sumpter was to have been the assassination of this nation. But the wound was only an incision, and the wound ed man arose more powerful than ever before. [Ap plause.] Then, as in the time of Gagger, there ap peered another Mari Antony to work the destruction of a beautiful fabric of government. He who com binee within his bre.ait the smooth hypobrisy. of An tony, and the eynical.poison of Cassius, Jefferson _Davie, - stood forth - fin the forum of the ,South, and • over the slabghtered body of liberty, exclaimed with all the malignancys of that traitor who dismembered Heaven, " Now let it work; mischief thou art afoot, to e thou what vourse thou wilt," ELL Marclooh pro. (*tided to contrast the political relations of the new and the Old World. At the bead of taw latter steeds Napoleon, as man of cunning and temporizing &pia inticy ; at the head of the other stands a mast Inmestolt heart, pure in his integrity of purpose, azatutteits only to pteaeve to the latest posterity the Mistirringe of free government. The leaders are adapted to the eharestiteraw the people in both hemisphere's. This, it is said, is an age of mediocrity in thin coun try. •If it is so, let us be thankful—for it op pears to be a necessary atainet to it that no great' bird men exist in our miaet to misdirect our eaeVe glee. That there were bad men in the North whO Would embarrass every act of the Administration was true. They would be great men, but their greatness does not extend beyond a malignity to. wards their country. He who opposed the Adminis tration was false to the obligations of his cittnesehip, and was equally as much a traitor as the soldiers of the Southern Confederacy. The lecturer had many friends in the South whom he had always loved;: but his affection was now limited, "not that he lo red Omar lees, but Rome more." [Applause.t HU berty was worth enjoying,' it was worth deals% for. So thought alt the leaders of hum tarty in every age of the world. This nation was founded by men devoted to the cause of freedom. The' de scendants of Cromwell have built up a great nation that will last for all time. [Applause.] We areal! ds scended from foreigners, and the Puritan Mood flows in every vein. [Applause.] The "Yankee people" is no disgraceful epithet. It is Americ tn. The term Yankee belongs to no section, but OD the whole country. We are not ashamed of our Saxon origin, then let us be proud of the name given us by the aborigines. Let us hurt it back proudly against those who would call us "niudsille." The Yankee has shown In this war how well he has retained the lessons of his ancestry. When this civil war shall have ended, the United States will he a Power among the nations th at will excite reepect from friends and terrors from foes, and woe betide the nation that would invade our rights. Let us remain united, and we can stand' against the world in arms. The address of Mr. Murdoch exhibited him In an entirely new sphere from that in which we have been accustomed to know him. He entirely eschews all party feeling. and breathes throughout his very lengthy, but exceedingly eloquent address, the high eat and pureat patriotism. As our readers may know, Mr. Murdoch has heretofore ranked among the drat artists of the mimic stage, both in his native coun try and in Europe, and it might naturally be pro turned that...an original lecture by so apt a scholar d reae er of Shakspeare would be largely embel lished with extracts from the "great moral teacher." So it proved last night, and never have we heard quotations better applied. His description of the rulers or the United States, and of the so-called Southern Confederacy, was true to the letter. Jef ferson Davis was compared to the lean and hungry Cassius; Abraham Lincoln was upright and pure of purpose, determined on doing only that which wan right and due the people ; Davis was the embodi ment ui the government he ruled, having swallowed up the people in self, while in the North Lincoln was absorbed by the people, who oried for our coun try and our liberty.

Their destination is supposed to be Charleston. At the wharf they met with ao en thusiastic ovation from their friends.

INDIVIDUAL OF THE DE- Brim" RAOR.—Some of those who are sneering at the patriotism of the colored race, and boasting of their own would have been taught a wholesome lF won had they been present at one of the provost Marshals' offices of this city yesterday. As usual, there was a large crowd of persons pro vent, and a long line of anxious citizens wAting for tbeir.turns, hoping that by some good luck they might be rejected, and thereby saved from furnish ing a substitute or shouldering the musket for the Government. When two or three were about to leave the sur geon's room—grumbling because he had done his duty, and thereby placed them in a position where, perhaps, for the first time, theirs would be done to the Government which had so lon and well pro tected them—a poor, crippled colored man who had been drafted, came up in turn for examination. fie stated to theißoard the fact of hisrdisability, nut at the came time said, in rather a serious manner, "I suppose you will have to exempt me on account of my lame leg, &c," The surgeon proceeded to ex amine him and soon found he was indeed such a cripple that he would be forced to exempt hies. Upon telling the colored man he would have to ex. cludelum, he replied, " Well, cripple or no cripple, if you won't allow me to go, I want to send a sub stitilte, for if you think I am not able, I want some body to fight for me, as I have been drafted," and at the same timeproduced his substitute for the sur geon'to examine, but unfortunately the surgeon was ioreed to decide that his substitute was also unfit for military - duty. The colored drafted man then for the first time seemed to be a little down•nearted, aid after pausing'for a moment, turned towards the door. and as he passed out, said, " Well, I'll get another if I can, for I'm bound to send a substitute:" And sure eneue,h, in about an hour in he came, bringing with him one who now is at camp, proudly doing his duty as a soldier. BIETBSTITUTES.—A very small proportion of those who have been drafted are entering the ser vice • as conscripts. . The number of those wbo are not drafted is so large, that there is no scarcity of available substitutes, who offer thernselves.at prices within the reach of almost all whose enga.gemente or inclinations will not permit their going into the army. An impression prevails quitegenerally, and especially among those whose judgment is nearly -always correct, that the war cannot last a great while longer. Large bounties and a probability of very little service attract hundreds of men who, a year ego. could not be induced to enlist. The price at which a substitute can be obtained varies so much that an approximation can scarcely be given. The figure seldom goes beyond two hundred ant: fifty dollars, and a great many are obtained at even one hundred dollars. Tan SECOND DISTRICT.—The hearing of drafted men in the Second district will 'be -com menced on Monday mnrnirg. The entire number drafted is 1,015. Notices have been delivered to each person whose name was drawn, and the term in which to report varies from ten days to nearly two months. Seventy. five cases will be disposed of daily, commencing with those first drawn. By this arrangement there will be no unnecessary crowd ing, and everything pertaining to the hearing of the exemptions will be conducted with precision and decorum. A large. additional room will be rented by the provost marshal, where chairs will be pro vided, so that the " physically disable" may not suf fer from longstanding. Each notice is marked ou the top with the number which the person drafted held in the drawing. To THE LADIES OF THE SANITARY COM MISSION OF ST. THOMAS' CHIIRCH.—T take pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of hospital stores sent by you to the 54th Regiment Massachusetts Yoltin teen. They arrived at Hilton Head on the day of the battle of the 18th of July, and through the kind ness of 15Iise Lettie Forten were distributed, and I assure you gratefully used by the wounded of that regiment. I have the honor to be very respectfully yours, E. N. HALLOWELL, ' Lieutenant Colonel 54th Wiaßß. Volunteers PHILADELPHIA, August sth, 1563. Our or SEASON.—Notwithstanding the fast that the sporting season for rail-birds does not commence until the fast of September, yet several sportsmen have been pushing after them already in the marshes that skirt the Delaware river. Rail birds are not fit to eat at the present time. Reed birds have not yet made their appearance. Last season they were very scarce, - because of the war in the South, from the rice•flelds of which these birds migrate northward in the early aprine, and return South in the month of September. The first slight frost will drive these birds away is a single night. BASE BALL—The Athletic Base Ball Club will go to Altoona, Pa. ' to play the rilonlitain Club. of that place, of which Enoch Lewis, Esq„ is President, on the 11th of September. Seven of the first nine of the Athletics are now away to the war, but enough good players remain to afford retoectable amusement to the Mountain City players. The Ath letic will now begin practice, preparatory to the excursion. There will be a game to-day, commencing at 3 o'clock, at Seventeenth and IVlatiter streets. Public invited. -Malone will pitch. CANDIDATE FOR ECCLESIASTICAL Ho- NORS--Right Rev. Bishop Wood, of this city, has been nominated, in conjunction with two other Bishops of the Archiepiscopal Diocese of Baltimore, as a candidate for Archbishop, by the Ecclesiastical Council. The names have been forwarded to Rome for a choice. Should Bishop Wood be selected by the Pope, the Bishopric of Philadelphia will be va cated. JEFFERSON SCIOARE.—This Square, the campground for several weeks of the lath New Ter sey,.vacateil on last Saturday, does not now look much the worse for the use that had been made of it. The grass . , which appeared to have been entire~ ly destroyed, is springing up again. In the course or a week or two the Square will probably present iis usually attractive appearance. FIRST COAL REGMEXT.—The Ist Coal Regiment, under command of Col. A. Day, which for a month Was encamped on that historical stream called the Potomac, have received orders to return North. The regiment probably started on Sunday night for Chainberahurg. The marching was to be done at night time.
