LFrom au Oteastenal Correspondent POINT LOOKOUT, Md., Sept. 9. 1863 This point, you are aware; haa been selected as A ddpdt for rebel prisoners. It is located in St. Mary's county, and is the very southernmost point of land on the Western Shore of Maryland, at the mouth of the Potomac river,-where it empties in%) Chesa peake Bay. Point Lookout is one hundred and ten miles south of Washington, via the Potomac, and one hundred miles from Baltimore by the Chess , peake. Before the war numerous neat little rows of cottages and a somewhat pretentious hotel attest the fact that there has been a futile attempt to make it a imall Atlantic City or Cape May. But while the sea breeze is invigorating, and it has a smooth Sandy beach, the surf, is contemptible indeed to people who have sported in Cape May's monster breakers. However, it has an advantage over any other iereahore point I have ever seen, not probably in the quality, but in the quantity, of its crabs! Think of it, ye lovers of shell fish; think of ten thousand bushels being caught from a single wharf! And yet this;l am credibly informed by my friend the Captain, le a veritable fact. I know from per sonal knowledge that two of our party last evening caught two barrels in a couple of hours.. When the war commenced, it was abandoned as a fashionable resort, and last fall the G-overnment seized upon it for hospital purposes. Additional buildings were put un, capable of accommodating several thousands, and at the present time more than a thousand sick and wounded are here under the care of Dr. Heger and his assistants. 'ln the summer season, at least, it must have great sanitary advantagesi - for, - beeides - the oysters, perch, crabs, and other salt water luxuries provided for' the con valesced, or convalescing, there is a delicious tweeze ' constantly blowing, which must, - especially fin the warmest days, have been truly grateful to the fever-perched patient. After our victories at Gettysburg, at and around Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and the snapping up of John Morgan's banditti in Ohio had crowded our barracks with graybacks, it became a question what to do with them. Point Lookout was selected as a ddpot for prisoners of war, and Captain Nelson Ploto was sent down to look Oiler their wants. He now has two thousand under his charge, but is put ting up barracks to accommodate ten thousand. Their health is excellent, and their gratitude at the kindness they receive, I have reason to know, is overwhelming. They have already accumulated a fund of $2,01:10 saved from their rations. This will be used for buying luxuries not allowed by the regu lations. Government furnishes them with good substantial clothing. • What a contrast they present to the loyal soldiers who have suffered in the , Eibby, Castle Thunder and the other prisons of "opr Southren brethren !it. I could not help , contrastingithe treatment received here, even by the meanest private, to that given to the gallant Wilcox and Corcoran, and our best offi cers, who were not only not furnished with clothing, but robbed of that they alseady had, or sent by loving friends from home. - Yet It is they who are constantly prating about outraging the rules of war. Theme two thousand prisoners are guarded by about five hundred men of the let and 2d New Hampshire, under command of General Gilman Marston, for merly a member of Congress from the Granite State, but who has been in the service since the first battle of Bull Run. The post quartermaster is Captain Abram Edwards, of Pennsylvania.' NEW YORK CITY. Ni W YORK, September 8, iBB3 [Swig Correepondehce of The Press.] A. FINANCIAL MOVE IN POLITICS Our Common Council has recently passed its great appropriation bill, over the mayor's veto, and the ordinance providing for the relief of inuigent politi- - cal hacks, and walking compendiums of Democratic seedineskihas atiengthiafter much discussion, be come EID authentic and legal fact. It will be remem bered that this august body, immediately subse quent to the riots, mollified the ouvriers, by passing a bill for the purpose of buying off such of the mob as should have the misfortune to be drafted that a new and rather different bill was suhstituted, and this last vetoed by Mayor Opdyke. Irritated by this sudden checkmate, these venerable men met in sol emn conclav,e, and pledged themselves to pass it over the veto. This they have now done, although the act passed by our supervisors has provided for the_ relief of the matia, the firemen, the police, and ; in deed, of all those who, from peculiar circumstances, Can offer any goodreason for being exempted frOniser- "vice in the army, through municipal aid.. Of course' the public moneys devoted by the City Fathers- are iiroterylirrenue.rrorrebbiereng thepursuir-of-Demmf cratic happiness, and carrying out, by a clever finan- - eial scheme, what the friends of Governor Seymour endeavored to carry out in July by the bludgeon and the knife. It is a sop cast-to the mob• Cerberus which guards the preoincts wherein are stored the votes so tempting to office-holders—a bid for politi cal support in the elections. Certainly, such diver sions of the public funds are shameless, but we hatie grown to look upon our Common Council as a ne cessary evil which has been handed down to us from past degenerations, and its humorons xnalversations are only provocative of grim mirth, and nothing more. We have grown to enjoy its practical jokes, and laugh as loudly when a fat alderman pockets the receipts of the treasury as we do at Falstaff upon the stage, with his chevaliers d'indusirie at his heels. As long as they:give no dinners to eminent and capa cious men, we are satisfied. Thus, it will be seen, we have two funds prßvided, one of which, if applied to the legitimate purposes for which it was created, will prove most beneficial in the results which will therefrom accrue -to the city ; while the other will procure the exemption of the Requisites of.the Derd copperhead. ooratic party; and relieve the torments of the Sixth ward. Be tween them both, it may be readily surmised how many soldiers the Government will gain by its draft in`this city. Loyal New York, which is so eager to volunteer for a war with England, when there are • no prospects of such a war, will lend but a handful of men to an'army which is striving to re-establish America among the nations of the world. The fact is, that.were a British fleet to enter our harbor to day, these same people would clamor for peace at any price, while offering to volunteer =mane for a decieive conflict between the United States and Bor • rioboola-Gha! Their patriotism is a prospective one, and, like the courage of Bob Acres, has a decided tendency to the finger ends. Theirs 42 a telescopic courage, with a vengeance. AN ANECDOTE OF BELMONT, THE BANKER. Every one in the States has heard of August Bel mont, the wealthy banker and Copperhead, of New York. Here is a characteristic anecdote, which is related of him. It is well known that Mr. B. is of a nature highly irascible, and that, when irritated, he does not scruple to employ terms rather vivid than proper—in fine, that he swears occasionally, in a manner calculated to impress the hearerrwith,un - clerical ideas. On one en casion,,ao the story rune, Mr. B. engaged a new clerk, a quiet, dignified man, who immediately succeeded in exciting his employ er's ire, and received a large assortment of slight . profanities in return. The clerk bore this quietly for sortie days ; but, at length, having received more than his fair allowance of denunciations, he got down train his stool, closed his books, and declared that he would no longer submit to this vituperation. Mr. R seemed somewhat dumbfounded' by such ac tive rebellion ; but, recovering from his discomposure, asked, with-a faint imprecation, how much his of fended clerk would require for the privilege of being. sworn at in his employer's discretion. To answer was, "Double my present salary." "You ehall have it," cried 8., and immediately opened him a fusilade of denunciations heft& to be imagined than described. I cannot vouch personalty for` the' authenticity of this anecdote ; but as it passes cur: rent among those who should know, I give it 'for whatit is worth. = FLYING MACHINE. '. The Herald of this morning ("lairds for Dr. Solo mon Andrews, of Perth Amboy, N. J., the hell& of having at last invented the great desiderthim, a flying machine. The Doctor is a great inventor, and has produced many mechanical contrivances, from time to time, which have not fulfilled the wildest expectations even of his most sanguine Mende - Sewing machines, improved" engines, thinickabli locks, and various odds and ends hare been prp: duCed from hie workshop, which the world Eris never appreciated. Once before, he invented a fir ing machine, which would have proved a most emi-, nent sucoess; had not, the Doctor forgotten or ne glected to procure an abrogation of the law of gra vitation, and a temppiary suspension of the winds aid atmospheric currents. What this new eon-, trivance may amount to, I am unable to say, hav. lag never witnessed its operations. But as, accord ing to the , Herald's account, it consists of three huge metallic segars, it seems only fair to presume that it may all end in smoke. STUYVESANT. GENERAL MOOLELLAN AT STATEN - ISLAND.— On Tuesday, General McClellan reviewed Ocl. Lan sing's regiment, and, addressed the sbldiers as fol lows MY'COMRADES • I am glad, and sad, and proud to meet you again'. ..I am glad, because we are all glad to meet old comrades and brothers-in-arms. I am sad, because I 'am reminded : in 'seeing you of our brethren who have fallen on our fields of battle. I remember, too, our own last sad parting at Warren ton. lam proud, because I call 'to mind all our battles from Yorktown to Antietam. I am proud, because I see you, old comrades of the Army of the Potomac, for of you I am proud, and always Wall be.

GENERAL BANRS.—The ovation given to Major- General Banks by the school children of New Or leans, on the 15th, is described as a very pleasant affair. It took place in the hall of the girls? high school, which was tastefully decorated. -A silver goblet was presented to General Banks, and there were speeches and songs, the whole ending in a grand rush of the young ladies for a kiss from the General. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Times ends his descriptionof the affair , by saying : Let General Banks' tint continue. his present, course of temperingjuatice with mercy, and I sanguinely look forward • to the flay when he will be as much beloved here, not only by the'children, but .the entire" population of 'redeemed- and - disen, thralled Louisiana, as was ever any marrof South ein :birth, not even excepting the ;great Henry Gen. Garfield vs. Vallandigham. [From the Cincinnati Times.] ' Gen. Garfield, of this State, so well known both in civil and military life, has recently been , on duty at Shelbyville, Tenn., where Vallandighamr was for some time, and while therelook considerable pales to ascertain the truth in regard to the sayings and doings of the traitor from Ohio. Referring. to the statement about the unanimity of the people of the South in their devotion to their leaders and ,the rebellion, the General says : "Dia strange that 'Mr. Vallanoigham had the tame- Illy to make the first of these statements, when it is notorious that no precinct in the State, not even in ErtetTennessee, has so large a per tentage of Union men as Bedford county, and Shelbyville, its county seat, Mr. Vallandigham's first resting.plaot after he left our, lines. That village gave three hundred and fifty Union votes to fifty for secession, at the begin ning of 'the war, and it has retained its reputation untarnished thus far. If Mr. Vallandigharn had at. tempted to ascertain the sentiments of its citizens, he would have found that nine out of every ten were in laver of immediate submission to the Fede. ral Government. .- - - "I would be glad to believe it possible that these facts escaped his notice, but having recently visited Shelbyville; and conversed with , a large number o( °Munk whq saw and conversed with Hr.

Of course, all - loyal Southerners are not only ready to discuss the question of reunion, but are anxious to return to the Union,without discussion. But, when Mr. Yal landighare states that the leaders of this rebellion unanimously express their willingness to discuss the question of a return to the Union, he either en .tirely forgets his conversations with rebels, or reck lessly states'a falsehowl. ' - "In a full:and frank conversation between himself and Governkair Harris (rebel governor of Tennessee), the latter, alter hearing Mr. Yallandigham's state ment of his"own opinions and policy, said. in the presence of. many witnesses, You totally mis -understand us. We have resolved to listen to no terms short-of the total separation and absolute in dependenckof the South, and we will accept no boundary short of the line orthe Ohio and the Po tomac. Negotiation on other basis'is utterly use less.' " New Publications. Charles T. Evans, New York, has published a life of Stonewall , ' Jackson, Lieut. General in the Confederate Army, by blarkingileld Addey. We cannot recommend this book. Independent of the bald and dry manner in which it has been written, (one sentence says "he can neither be caught nap ping, nor whipped when he cs wide awake.") We do not see qte propriety of putting forth such a glorifi cation of avert' notorious traitor, whose religious feelings, much - boasted of in these pages, did not re othin him from committing perjury and raising his parricidal hand against the Constitution of the Re. public. The book, in subject and tone, is calculated for circulation—in the South: If Jackson is to be canonized, let it be, not by. Union, men, but by his feilow-traitors and their foreign allies.

His ," Sheep Husbandry of the South" and "Practical Shepherd" are standard books. . Last February he read, before the New York State Agricultural Society, a paper upon Fine Wool Sheep Husbandry, which, ( with an op 'pendix ef valuable statistics in reference to wool culture, imports, prices of fine wool from August, 1840, to August 1, 1863,) has been published in book; form by c.m. Saxton, New YOrk, at the low price of seventy-five cents. Mr. Randall, in fact, here treats of the varieties of the. Merino sheep which produce the finest wool. His book will be useful to all, who desire to enter into the not difficult and highly remunerative labor of producing fine wool in the - United States. Sold by Lippincott & Co. Heinrich Steffens, whilom student at Freiberg and Sena, and successively Professor at the Universities of Halle, Breslau, and Berlin, never did any great .thing in his life, except volunteer for a soldier, when he was "placed" at Breslau, in 1813, on the levy raised to resist 'Napoleon, but wrote "The Story of illy Life," in ten volumes, covering 4,000 pages. Out of this vast mass of garrulity and egotism, Mr. William- Lenard Gage (we believe of Boston), has selected and translated as much as makes a small volume of 264 duodecimo pages. It is published by Gould & Lincoln, and sooth to say, does not merit the slight estpraise. Steffens eulogizes a lecture by Professor Fitche, of Jena, as "exceedingly distinct and clear," and thus records part of what Fichte said to his pupils : " `Gentlemen,' said he, withdraw within yourselves;, enter into your own mind ; we are not dealing with any thing outward—purely with our selves.' The hearers, thus bidden, really seemed to withdraw into their own minds. Some changed their position and straightened themselves up ; others bowed thefaselves over and closed their eyes. All waited with great eagerness to see wkat should come next. Gentlemen,' con tinned let your thought be the wall.' I could seethe hearers set theirminds most intently upon the wall, and every thing seemed favorable thus far( Have you thOught—the wall P continued Fitche. 'Now, then, gentlemen, let your thoughts be _that that thought the wall.' " The reader can , judge how "exceedingly distinct and clear" poor ,Fitche was. In another place this same Fitche is • represented, as privately explaining how his philoso phy. rose,; and one sentence in this explanation reads thus: "The ego , recognizes itself through its own manifestation of itself; - the ego thinking and the ego thought, the knowing and the objectof the know ledge, are one, and from thli.peint of unity, and not from scattered elerdents, time and space. and the postulates of:all:lhought proceed.” This, it seems; is distinct and clear I Even Steffens' recollections and anecdotes of Goethe , Schiller Schlegel Ne. ander, and other notable men whom he met or ono ' elated with are told in a muddy, drowsy, and fa tiguing manner, the only - object being to make him self the hero of every thing'.*L-Sold by Smith, English, Publications Received. . . _ row "W.

The assemblage wax very large, spiritdd; and unanimous. There were present all the loyalleobtanry for many miles around, and their teams "completely blocked the streets. Quite a number of ladies likewise graced the Occasion with their presence, and the general effect was to take away anything like partisanship or political bias from the spirit' of the Emeeting,, and give it a higher and broader character. The follow- • ing is a phonographic report or the speech delivered during the day, by Mr. John torney: SPEECH or mt. JOHN. NV: FORNEY. After returning thanks to his fellow-citizens for the cordial welcome he had received, he said that Pennsylvania had long had a distinguished son who had occupied many important publiC positions, and who was always regarded as a man of intellect and character even by those politically opposed to him. We all feel a pride in superior intellect: This is a tribute unconsciously paid to intellectual ability by all men. Hence, however prejudice or party may have felt towel& James Buchanan, Pennsylvanians never failed to recognize his acquirementi, and hie high personal character. While abroad serving as American minister at .the Court of St. Sames, the difficulties growing out of the slavery question were renewed, and it was the good fortune of Pennsylvania's "favorite son" to be absent when the Missouri Compromise bill was re pealed, and the Kansas and Nebraska act became . . _ a law. Anxious to discover some man able to deal with the rising issues then agitating the country, the politicians determined to make James Buchanan their candidate. He had observed the course of events shrewdly, had comprehended their bearings and turnings perfeetly, and was not averse to grasping the tempting bribe offered him. When he returned to the United States, in April, 1860, he' was [welcomed as a personage identified with the conservative, and almost the anttslavery element in the Democratic party. In other words, he was . looked upon as one who, by years of experience and. by position, would not hesitate to grapple with the great difficulty, and adjust it firmly and peaceably in accordance with certain recognized principles, It" was . my, good fortune to secure the confidence of the Republicans in the tumultuous Congress which commenced on the first day of Decem ber, 1855, when, as Clerk in that body, I was called upon to preside until a speaker should be choilen. Distrusted at first by my politi cal opponents, nearly three months' observation of my action in the chair induced them to reverse their judgment, and assist in giving me a vote of thanks by acclamation. Mr. Buchanan was not unmindful of this fact, and was, therefore, too glad to see me placed in my position as chairman of the Demo cratic State Central Committee, which took place on the fourth, of March, 1856, at Harrisburg. He was equally anxious to enlist the services of John Hickman, his neighbor in Cheater county, who at that time was regarded by Southern men as half Abolitionist ; and he said to Hickman and his friends, that the very fact that he was acceptable to the Republicans would render his service most fficient. - After his nomination he prepared his letter of ac ceptance and exhibited it tom e, which determined me to make the canvass in that form ; and I will defy any one here present, Democrat, or disloyalist, or whatexer he be, to read that letter, and tell me whether Mr. Buchanan did not, in every point, vio late its pledges, and desert its principles. [Ap plause.] That letter was read to the' committee ap pointed to tender him thd nomination by the Cin cinnati National Convention, composed of such men as Richardson, of Illinois ; Manning, of South Ca rolina; Preston, of Kentucky; Ward, of Georgia, and other Democratic leaders, now either in open rebellion, or co-operating with the so-called Demo cratic party, and was by them accepted and approv ed. That letter became the platform of the cam paign, and with that letter in my hand, and in the knowledge that Mr. Buchanan was anxious to secure the anti-slavery element, I entered into the contest. No Southern man came into the State to'speak, with out being acquainted with the necessity of cultivating the anti-slavery sentiment. When Howell Cobb, of Georgia, reported to me for instructions, I directed him to visit Chester county. He not only spoke on the same platform with John Hickman, but in' De cember, 1866, made that speech which today stands in judgment against Mr. Buchanan, for it was, if possible, a still stronger pledge than that embraced in the letter of acceptance. Mr. Buchanan was elected. In his inaugural of March 4, 1857, he re peated the covenant of April, 1856, and when 'he started on his Presidential career, it is due to-the Republican party to say that they were willing not only to trust him, but if he had been true to his promises, they would have rallied around hie Admi nistration to the end. But his treachery soon began to appear. After great difficulty he secured the accept. ance of the appointments to the offices of Governor and Secretary of Kansas of Hon. Robt. J. Walker and Hon. Secretary Stanton, both his personal friends, who, in order to oblige the President, arid carry out his policy, agreed to go upon the hazardous mission. Themoment, however, they discovered that he in tended to betray his country, they denounced his course; and, notwithstanding the high positions they had occupied, and their previous relations to wards him. he removed them from office, and at tempted to disgrace them. This shameful piece of tyranny was followed by other outrages, and the Lecompton frauds and the English bill were made a test for all who took office under him, or who de sired to remain in the Democratic party. It is not extraordinary that these inconsistencies and corrup tions should have excited disgust and disaffection in the Democratic ranks and that the more they were manifested in repeated exhibitions of intolerance, the more these feelings should have prevailed. It is a little strange-that many who are now silent in regard to the tyranniettanuot the South , ern - renets,- should then have, le_exa So, the conduct of Mr. Buchanan. Following on this record, step by step, Mr. Buchanan proceeded in his wrong doing, as if inspired by some Satanic influ ence. No man was spared. The most venerable Democrat was removed from office the moment he attempted to take issue with the Administration. Every one was either made a slave or a victim. It was in this sad state of affairs that the country was plunged into a new Presidential campaign, to secure a successor to the man who had thus basely and guiltily betrayed his country. If there is a darker page in our country's history, only excepting that of the rebellion itself, I assert before high Heaven that it was the conduct of the Administration of James Buchanan and the so-called Democratic leaders in that Presidential campaign. Not content with making victims of others—not content with exulting over the grave of the murdered Broderick, who fell simply because he refused to bend in worship at the shrine of slavery—they sought out new victims. Not content with turning out of office poor men who were yet too honest to sustain the wrong, they sought a higher and more distinguished sacrifice. There was one man who, with all his attachment to the South, notwithstanding he had mar ried into Southern families, notwithstandink his children were born in the Southern States, notwith standing he had been the champion of the South for • more than twenty years, beginning with the an nexation of Texas, or earlier than that, and ending with the repeal of the _Missouri Compromise; not withstanding all this, they selected him for a vic tim, and while the world stood amazed at the specta cle, that this great man should be thus wantonly assailed, they proceeded in their hellish work with a deliberate attempt, whose ferocity has never been exceeded in human annals. It was in vain that he implored them to desist from their foul work ; it was in vain that he told them that it must end inns sure overthrow of the Democratic party; and the de struction of the Republic. What was their response? They responded, "Crucify him!" Stephen A. Dou glas was crucified. And how crucified? He was the representative of the popular sentiment of the De mocratic party. He was a progressiie man by his or ganiiation. He had the courage, the pluck, the aue. thority—if I may,use that word—sole among his fel lows, although he was physically small' in stature. From the moment that this mighty struggle began, he saw his way clear ; and, as if gifted with a super natural prescience, he told me a thousand times "Unless this wrong can be resisted, God will smite this country with war." They took him to Charles ton, where he had to meet the same opponents who, are now trying to destroy the Republic, and they be. gan the sacrifice there. Failing to complete it, they took him to Baltimore, where, by dint of superhuman exertions, his friends gave him the regular nomina tion of the Democratic party. Democrats, you who are listening to me, carry home in your hearts the sim ple words lam telling you. You cannot deny them no man man can deny them—and let them not be alighted. Then, what was the spectacle wittiessed? A. Northern man, the idol of the progressive princi ple—a man that the 'Democratic masses lover as they had loved no man before except Jackson; he was made the irregular nominee of the Democratic party, and Mr. Breekinridge, now leading his legions against the old flag,- was made the regular candidate. What was the *next step in this terrible drama''? Why, that this great man, consciousthat Mi. Lin coln would be chosen President of the United States, announced to his countrymen that he intended to traverse the South from end to' end, arid admonish the Southern people against the. dangers they were proVoking. I 'say to you, my friends, that talk as you may of heroism in:the battle, this was an act of illustrious intrepidity. [Applause.] Starting at Norfolk, where the question was put to him by, a crowd of infuliated madmen whether the, election - of Abraham Lincoln would be a just cause of war, he said "No !if he is chosen Presi dent of the United'States, it is your duty, and it, is mine, to support him." And this was the text he carried with him from the Potomac to the mouth of the Mississippi. ;,While at the risk of hie life (for efforts were made to throw from the track the cars 'that bore this glorious patriot, and stones and other missiles were fired at him as he spoke), preaching , the truth like another Saul, he was insulted, as saulted, and assailed. Then the people 'rallied around him. The Southern people could notrefuse to bow in acknowledgment of-the majestic spectacle presented in the career of this intrepid man. When he, arrived , atMobile,,pn the dakof the election, he Passed 'thiough - llie sfreets, exhorting, .IMplering, begging' his countrymen to remember their duty m the event of the election of Abraham Lincoln. He reached New Orleans,'When he learned' that Abra ham Lincoln was elected, and he proclaimed from the balcony of, tb.e St. Charlet' Hotel "I am here to acknowledge the supremacy of the laws of my country; I; am , here to. obey the duly-elected-Magis trate of the United States, Abraham Lincoln l" [Loud cheers.] He returned home carrying with him the seeds of'-that disease which finally laid him on the bed of death: You all recollect What his last words were, just as he saw before him the Awful presence of the Divinity, approach of that judgment which we must all as, with dim and glazed eyeshe awaited the meet?. At the last he said these Words "There'' can he but two parties in this contest'; patriots and traitors !" [Loud applause ] What next? • Mr. 'Lincoln was chosen President of the United States. As the celebrated Evades, of New York, said at the time, "Gentlemen, if you object to Mr. Lincoln's election, stop it. =You have 'the votes. If you De mocrats, cease , quarreling and unite, Mr. Lincoln will not be elected. , If he is elected, on your heads mint be the respensibility." But they were deter mined that Mr. Lincoln should be elected. They were seeking after a pretext for war. Now, what must aDemoorat think of himself who can sympathize with men who anted in this:way, and particularly. what can Pennsylvania think of the partisan who, ccaneirformard ass candidate for Governor; and who, in•that dread crisis, when all knew that the southern States, were preparing to go:to war, could say that he believed they had a just cause of war, and that the time might come when they might fall backupon their natural rights That man is George W. Wood ward,, whom you are called upon to vote for Gover nor. In all those struggles not a syllable was heard from' Mr. Woodward in denunciation of the machi nations of the fire-eaters of the South,tut only ,con tempt and scorn of Stephen A. Douglas. He will' not deny that- in" that moat critical 'time he, held Douglas and -his anthority in supreme personal and public contempt,'• and so spoke of them., At the pe riod referred _to the present, so-called , Democratic candidate for Governor, in a cold, classio,,heartless, 'and unfeeling speech, _ which he forced.upon a ; Union meeting in Philadelphia, practically advised - the Southern traitors to_ take up arms against the flag, and told them that the time had come when they Must fall back on - their natural rights.

He would approve the .policy -of the President, but attack his mis takes.- I am not sorry that the enemies of the Union have thrown themselves on the illogi cal aide of the question. la am perfectly' wil ling to see any man elected. President of the United States who will carefully and faith fully enforce the great measures necessary to the preservation of my country. [Applause.] In this strife men are nothing. Give -us back our country; give us the jewel that these slaveholders have robbed from us, and confide it to the keeping of any man—no matter what his name or calling—so - that he be upright. [Loud cheers.] •My friends, there are certain underlying and overspreading prin ciples in this awful struggle which you cannot con ceal, however you may desire to conceal them ; and the first ia, hostility to slaved. lam here to-day to say that, ten years ago, when I discovered that sla very was the cause of all the evils of my country, I tried to induce the Democratic party to become an anti-slavery party; but it failed to become such. The South was its right wing, and it failed to carry the whole body forward into the ground of true conservatism. Here, in Penn aylvania, the State of mechanics, of laborer*, the State of farmers and thinking men, the State of men who earn their bread by the sweat of their faces—here lc ou are bound to discuss this ques tion. You must not allow these people to drive you from its discussion by the Silly cry, that the negroes are to be armed, and that social equality between the two races will be a necessary result. These are cries that twenty years ago frightened,old women; or tempted partisans to deeds of outrage.. There is no working man who swings a plane or drives a ham mer who is not covenanted before God to oppose slavery ; there -is no poor mother, praying through, c airiauuV and sleepless for the salvation_ hostility of this institution. ie-e d- are l .l- C tri %%WV man that must not be an enemy of slavery ; an in stitution which imbrutes all civilization, and which makes man a tyrant, and woman more degraded than the slave. I have more than once been in the presence of these Southern magnates ; I have heard and seen the contempt with which they look upon us ; I have heard the words that fell from the lips of Senator Hammond, who was so nobly rebuked by Broderick for daring to assert that there must be two classes, and that we of the North were to be the mud. eiLls upon which these spoilers were to mount to power: There is no religious interest which should not oppose slavery. What a spectacle it is to see a clergyman hesitating in this strife ! I can forgive the partisan ; I can forgive the man who looks for office ; I can forgive the coward who fears to face' the enemies of his country, and who, while he believes with us, dare not break the chains of the Democratic party ; but I cannot forgive the man who, with half-hearted piety, claims to be the or dained teacher of men in the ways of truth and jus tice, and yet holds out his hand to those who sym pathize with the rebellion, and encourages their dis affection. The great Duke of Argyle, at present a member of the British Cabinet, had the courage to say that there was no spectacle more disgraceful than to eee a clergyman in the South trying to jure tify the rebellion ; but I say in reply that 'there is a much more disgraceful spectacle, and that is to see clergymen in the North trying to do the same thing. Here there is no excuse for any man, butleast.of all 'for one who is trying to worship God, effecting a compromise with slavery. [Cheers.] But, gentlemen, I have not yet spoken of the im portant duty before us, and I have left that to this period of •my most desultory remarks so that you can see from what has gone before that which is immediately in front of you I allude to the sees tion of a Governor of Pennsylvania. Your oven neighbor and friend—one that you know and have known longer than myself is before you a candidate for re-election. Now this is not a mere ordinary election; this is not a mere question of individuals. It is not an election such as took place when ear. Curtin was chosen Governor in 1860. It is a strife in his name whether Pennsylvania shall remain in the old Union or be transferred to the rebellious Confederacy—that is the whole story. I may be told that these man, should they succeed in choosing Mr. V7oodward Governor, will not dare to at tempt these acts. That is my desire should that frightful catastrophe happen to us, but_ bear in mind that when leaders preach cer tain doctrines they are- sowing seeds which must bear fruit. When Fernando Wood threatened to cut off New.-York from the Union, and threatened, too, that if the President attempted to enforce the draft, the streets of New Yofk should run with blood, the filthy rabble took possession of the idea; they carr e ied the torch of the incendiary and the dag ger of the murderer through the streets ; they covered the whole city with a pall of thickening shame. And the wily knaves, while their followers were pil laging and burning, were themselves concealed in cowardly security. Have they ever recanted the doctrines which produced these results 1 llas Mr. Woodward ever reversed his decision that the South was right in taking up arms 1 Has Mr. Reed ever repented of his remark - that Penn eylvania must- decide between the- Southern and NorthernConfederaciesl Knowing what these inert would do, what they have Said they would do, what' they have done in New York you would, indeed be deserving of the ball and chain if you did not reject . and resist these insidious and dangerous teachings, and you would prove that you are, indeed, unwor thy to be free. Look at the consequences of this election. Who would receiveit with favor? There. is not a column of the rebel army that would not sing- hosannas to Gorgin triumph over your defeat, because it would be an evidence that you are ready to enforce and carry out the doctrine* of these men. Now there is an opportunity here for them to prove that they are devoted to'the country. Let them come for ward and say that they are sorry for what they have done, and that they will do better hereafter. But, ' gentlemen; they are too honest in their treason. Ob serve the cautious and devilish processes to which they resort. At the.beginning of this war, in 1861., when trods poured into Washington from all the States, we had the cry that three-fourths of the army were Dertioerats, and the customary arguments were adduced to prove that this .was so--'`Thep would stand on .the street corners discussing ,among. themielVes ' subject of a which none - of them actually knew. anything •, but it . has e been dis proved 14 ,tbe fact that Mr. Woodward and. his fries de are afraid to let their Demieoritic sol diersiecone home. [Laughter and cheers.] There is not a man of them who will not fly into a rage if you hint that the 'oldie's should be allowed to come home. What is -the, matter? It- is : because nine tenths of the troops, who went into the field Demo crats, come home determined to revenge .themselves- on those who caused our,present difficulties. That is what is theanatter. That is the trouble in New York; that -is the trouble here. -It is so -in Ohio, where General Burnside turned away a Copperhead committee who came to him to allow soldiers -to vote. It is so -in Maine ; three-fourths of the sol diers, so they said, were Democrats, and yet a couple of regiments came home and voted against the De mocrats. I do not wonder why a soldier shouldlbe in favor of Curtin. [Cheers.] He is in .favor of the man who helps him. Who is not? He is itefavor of the bridge that carries him over. Who, hanotl He has seen Curtin coming to the field after every battle to assist in burying the dead, tending the wounded, and alleviating the sorrwe of the bereaved. But •be has never seen Mr. 'odevard. All that he has "slavery a s divine institu tion,"heard from him is that and that the slaveholders had a right to go -to war. He has never heard anything i from Nix., Woodward but sympathy with the mere . Whie have murdered your brothers, and iffins ;•. who; have made Eastern Virginia one vast Golgotha. Now, these - facts are better and more significant than all the arguments of all the lawyers and vestors that can be imported into this good. State of a7urs. They touch our "hearts ;;they cone - ince our judgments; they conquer our prejudices. Is it possible. that with all these arguments we.: shall not be able to rescue Pennsylyania from these baleful inflUenceal Is it possible that because a set , et men proclaim themselves disloyal, and desire to see ihe, enemies of their country prosper, that, therefore, tisoae.who do not so desire will fail to assist their country at this time b Fellow-oltiaens, it is right that Uza should not only, preserve unity among our btit we should paeseive the Union itself.

PHILADELPHIA AND Ears RAILROAD.—The con struction or the middle division of this work is be ing pushed forward as rapidly as the scarcity of la borers will admit, and itwill be completed and open ed early next spring. A large number of men are continually being brought on the work from the East, but owing to the fact that inducements are offered laborers in all partsof the country, and that this particular locality is a wilderness almost, they do not stay long. The fact, too, that the company will not allow liquor to be sold anywhere on pro perty which they have leased or control, has a ten dency to drive the men sway, and the company dre not willing to relinquish the enforcement of this commendable feature of their discipline for the sake of the labor. We know that every exertion is be ing used to complete the work as soon as possible, and think that through trains will run over the toad as early as - the middle of April next.

ACCIDENT IN THB MINES.—On Wednesday week an accident occurred at the Empire Mines of Messrs. Pariah & Co., Enzerne. county, which came very near involving the loss of the lives of two men. A miner, named John McKender, 1.1 preparing a blast, using a twenty-five-pound keg of powder for the purpose, very imprudently,allowed his lamp to remain burning upon his hat. A spark from the lamp fell into the powder, which immediately ex- . ploded, burning him in a terrible condition.
