SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1864 The nice of hinter—AL Defivere To r&€ Editor of Pre Press P, r,: A singularly disingenuou t'ild l6 " 415 r we have been accustomed to consider as tho model Paper appeared in your issue of the 20th inst. It says: "Three years a;to the average price of 1..74 ter was fourteen' cents par pound." This, to say the least, is extraareinary um-es to the farmers who wad tie citizens who bought butter during that' period. There. may Intv., been a few market days, in the flush of the season, nt the close of the market, in consequence of a heavy excess over demand, that an inferior article may have sold at that rate; but tile average, in lgal, of a prime article was over thirty, and of special dairies nearly forty cent S—l allude to that which bore a reputation similar to that recently sold at seventy-tva. It charges the farmer with combining to extort, through a general understanein g , for several successive market days, of putting on an extra five rents msch market day but note word about the destructive drought which, in rer,st, dairies, has nut down the supply of butter from, one-third to nearly one half; nothing about the rise in feed from , 1420 to iit-t per ton, which farmers have been obliged to purchase to prevent a worse state of affairs in disappointing those who confidently relied Olson them for regular supplies; no allusion to the value of cows from seventy to one hundred per cent., or to all other expenses con. rtertediwith the business to nearly similar rates; nothing about the unusual large number of farmers who last spring quit dairying, in consequence of the difficulty of carrying it on, anti inability to make it ay. Notwithstanding the high price of butter, this forms the basis of current rates, and is a striking commentary upon the results or last spring's: anti butter league proceedings. Moreover,there is as witch proportionate difference in the value of butter as there is between interior and superior samples of sugar, mustins or cloths. Every citizen is at liberty tt , retrain Trion Ugh%) or to purchase wherever pries and quality may suit, and it would be alike credita ble to their good sense and patriotism to do with less, and use their extra means for the benefit of their country. But no one has a light to denounce unjustly, or create antagonism injurious to citizen and farther OM e,by framing an indictment upon false conclusions. The natural law of compensation can not be forced aside; it is .subject to that of supply and remand; palpable violations thereof add to the evil complained of. Competition in producing or sell- Mir Is open to all. There are ample remedies sharp and decisive. Turn in, assist in producing; we wilt welcome you with open hearts ; rill up the ranks of non-consumers. Either course wail produce partial success. It lurt.her continues: "When we were up in UnlOn County, a few weeks ago, as fine butter as was ever made in Chester, Lancaster, Montgomery, anti Bucks counties was selling for twenty- eve cents per pound, the Philadelphia price then being silty cents. The present price in Union county is twen five, against the Philadelphia extortion of seventy fide cents." The injustice of this comparieeu is ex hibited in the fact that since the visit to Union county butter in Philaelelphie has increased twenty five cents per pound, yet the extreme low price, then and there, is compared with the exceptional high price now and here, which strangers might suppose was the regular charge ; whereas, it is doubtful if ono farmer obtained it, whore a hundred sold for the prices quoted in The Press on the same day, namely, from tifty-five to sixty cents. Again: "The New Yorkers, when like extortion was tried on them. formed an anti-butter-buying league, and brought the farmers back to reasonable prices in a very short time ;" thus ignorier the New York price curient list in the ihdependent of the 15th inst., two days previous to the publication of the attack upon farmers in l'h? Prcse, which quotes butter in choice pride at sixty cents, which, at the usual allowance of twelve pounds in bulk for eleven single pounds, would increase It to sixty-five. Besides, in beta, ex y.erises are limited to freight and commission, while here the care, expense, and time invested in pro ducing a superior article, and forwarded in a supe rior manner, add heavily to its value. It further elucidates the farmer's paradisicll state—urelther hit milk nor his cream, his butter nor his cheese, his corn nor his wheat, his vegeta hive nor his fruit, his pigs nor his fowls, his oxen nor his sheep, are in any way taxed. If he kill any cattle, swine, calves, sheep or lambs, he may do so for his own consumption, uithaui, paying- the usual duty upon slaughtered animals. Thd farmer is sin gularly exempt from taxation," dc. Now for the facts of the case : These is not :one solitary article thus enumerated, down to the firewood cut on his farm, but what, If he renders a just account, is in the-utinc.ral li:Were or siX talfltirrol Oro.— P.- -, ceeds of his farm exees,ll" that are subject to the gene at tax or nve per cent., to which will be added the specific war tax of fire more. Add to which (in Montgomery county) three per cent. county bounty, and nearly one-half per cent. county and State tax, making nearly four and one: yer cent. upon the whole assessed value of real and personal estate. lt advises the citizens to "discontinue the pur chase of butter until the price becomes reasonable. Send the farmers home, on four or five successive market days, without effecting sales, and they will shortly be brought to reason. 5 We do net expeet,any thing so miraculous as that they will repent of their bare-faced audacity—that they will mourn because ereed made them dishonest and extortionate," ezc. The rude and undignified language used in the above is utterly at variance with the general cha racter of " The Tress." There are none, perhaps, who endorse it who would send a wife or daughter into the dairy to assist in reducing the price, by adding to the supply,ifbutter were selling at a dollar per pound ; hut they demand that the wives and daughters of farmers shall furnish them with an ar ticle to suit their taste, at prices of their dictation, evil bout reference to its value or COr , t of production. There is evidently a grave misunderstanding of the relative position existing between producers and consumers, which had best be clearly under stood. Did it ever occur to our batter league friends that combinations for special purposes invariably produce their opppOSltes t that upon the first belli gerent demonstrations farmers might take the initia tive and refuse to sell to those who would thus insult and hurnilate them? Did they reflect upon the state a affairs that would ensue from the non appearance of farmers for a few sIiCet3SIVO market days, if a. sense of self-respect should drive them to such a course? They have never yet entered into leagues to protect themselves when butter was low. They will sutler none to govern them now, when circumstances beyond their control have made it high. The Rrigatiter Generals for the New Re- To the Editor of The Press SIR: It is, of course, well understood that Governor Curtin will immediately proceed to the organization of the regiments required for filling the quota of the 2d Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, just ordered by an • act of assembly. The effective force necessary for the completion of the organization of this corps will be taken from the picked men. of the State, in order to render it at once efficient and creditable to the authorities thereof. GOvernor Curtin has the ap• pointment of the field officers of tee regiments and brigades to compose the corps, and it is. therefore, to be hoped that he will exercise the sagacity and independence which characterized his selection of officers for similar poeittons of command Lin Penn sylvania military organizations. Without desiring to Interfere with this exercise of power, or to preju dice the claims of army officers now_ in the field to the promotion which will be afforded by these new organizations, we cannot retrain from referring to at least one soldier who is entitled. to the highest honors in the bestowal of the authorities of Pennsyl vania. We allude to Col. J. Irvine Gregg, a cap tain in the regular army, now commanding the 10th Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry. In appointing the brigadier general for the Reserve Corps, we ear nestly hope that Governor Curtin will not overlook the brilliant merits of this gallant officer, as Col. Gregg's claims unquestionably exceed those of any other officer whose name at preset t saggests itself to our consideration. Ho has not merely as a soldier served with distinction to himse4 but he has per formed labors of the most liercukilth character, and gained advantages for his country which low men of equal grade In the army can point to as their achievements. Such men are entitled to the high est honors of the service, and we therefore earnestly arse upon Governer Curtin the commission of Col• Gregg as a brigadier general of the first brigade or ganized for the new Reserve Corps.

CLERK OF MARSHAL COUNTY DIGS ANISEED WITH THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION—THE STATE PrterZET A PITTRIA FILL. OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF MARSHAL COUNTY • PLYMOUTH July Mot. H. 11. Dodd, Esq., Indianapolis, Indiana: DEAR SIR: At the request of several of our pro- minent Democrats here, I address you this letter on the (to us) following important topics : Frrat, As to the lain State Convention, there is a general dissatisfaction and bitter feeling among our Democrats, as regards the course pursued in apply ing the "gag" and riding "rough shod" over all movements inaugurated by the Peace Democrats, treating them as a faction too insignificant for re spectitit notice, and possessed of no rights command ing any respect; and knowing, as they do, that in reality a Majority of the convention was composed of what is termed "radical peace men," the nomi nation of such a man as Perkins Is self-evident proof that peace men were sold out by their heretofore trusted leaders. The presence of some of those leaders upon the platform, and more especially he who has long been recognized as chief among them, in Indiana, apparently acquiescing in the wire pulling performances or the adroit managers. The harvest truly is ready, but the laborers are few. Some of the nominations made area bitter, bitter bill for Marshall county, and much sugar coating will be required to get her to swallow the nauseous di se. And another question has since arisen that looms up with a gloomy, threatening aspect. I allude to :he approaching draft. It is the all-absorbing topic among the people, and they are dolly growing more restless. 'limy want to know what is going to be done, and if nothing, then mark my prediction, be lore the sth of September,. the Democratic voters will be across our Mantra frontier, The question stares us in tile face and demands our answer. It wont do to deceive the people longer on empty promises—something plain and practical is demanded. Are the leaders of the Indiana De mei:racy going to take any steps in relation to It? or sin they a.ITISe the Democracy to fall into line, and tally round the flag!! in prosecution of an inhu man Abolition war? Your early answer is desired. More in sorrow than in anger, yours truly, - JOHN C. Cush...mew. _ - LRWISTOWN,' 111., April 23. 111 - I:Ar. SIR : Hon.

THE SITUATION lzrcni 1310 Ficlinol.d Examiner. _ . All rfouthl the horison our sky is brightening. Get. Grant's movement, bells to the right anu to the left. in order to break out of his uneasy situa tion, have bean carat signal failures. Wnettair the oemenstration to his lea, on the Weldon Railroad, mass intended as a feint, to draw attention from the serious movement on his right. or whether the de monstratien en the right was the feint and the se rious was that by the left flank, in either case disaster has attended him—the feint and the main operation hove been- failures alike. On his rig ht every assault has been met and halted, and beaten heck ; and on his left over three thousand prisoners fell Into the hands of General Hill. who had the good fortune to command at that pert of our line. General Grant'o army May lief? be considered as utterly and signally and finally do. gated. Whether the moment is come when the remount of it is to be driven to its ships, G-en. Lee is the best and sole judge. That measure, however, when he shall device upon it, will be a no ble move inept in the interest ot peace. HlidTnEffer Calupaiym against. Atlanta, as it has been a copy of Grant's in 'Virginia from the begin ning, seems destined to follow that model, even to the end. All the Yankee correspondents from that army now tell their readers that Sherman meets liexpected difficulties ; hells opposite to him, wherever he movos unespected masses of troops ; learns that Hood had been largely reinforced ; and (worst of all) finds awkward circumstances taking place -along Lis lines of communication in the rear. In this particular point Grant has the aovantage of Sherman ; the former has his base on the sea, and if the worst comes to the worst, can es cape to his own country. Sherman, if he cannot move forward, may never go back. But the most sti, ring news of to-day is that Gen. Early hag ones more, we do not say fought and routed, but stompedetk without fighting, the great and terrible army of N animas that has been pretend. leg to "pursue "him for some days past. Sheridan, Averill, Crook, Wright—whoever may be the commander of them—has made believe to be searching for Early with breathless ardor. They sought him east, they sought him west, all through Maryland, and on bath sides of the foto. mac—while he; like a careful husbandman and frugal swain, as he is, was calmly. reaping . and garnering up his harvest in the rich valley of Virginia. At last, it seems, the arduous" ,researches of that tremendous Yankee army were crowned with success—they found Early. If any One is disposed to mock and sneer at the 'Yankee folks for running away precipitately the moment they found the man they had been searching for, we cannot sympathize with such mocking and sneering. "Hundred days' , men." boys, negroes, foreigners—Why should they expose tkemsclves to be killed by rough 44 seeesh" soldiers? They all surmise and most shrewdly sier pccl Mal Mere: is- soon lo be peers. Peace it in the air ; they smell it ;they Want to live to enjoy it. and would hate the thought of being HUM by the last stray volley fired, as it were, for ye7171:8 sake. That formidable army of dreadful Yankees being Scattered, however, nothing remains for Gen. Early but to follow them Into Maryland and Pennsyl vania. Peace, that pearl of great price, is to be found only in Pennsylvania,. PEACH COMMISSIONERS FROM TUE 'WEST [Fre= the lijohinonil De.pacch, Anguet,lB.] . - It is stated ip some of our exchanges that a coin- IraEstop Iron] the 6tates of Ohio, Illinois, and In diana Is now in Richmond, In consultation with the Government, on the subject of a free navigation t.f the Mississippi in case of the formation of a North western eloniederacy. If such a commission is In Richmond it is kept as silent as was the visit of the Yankees, Jacques and ICirke, for neither the press nor the peopls are aware of its presence. Such an event, however, would pot be surprising, since we are well aware of the disaffection In the West toward a - war 'which is impoverishing that sec tion while it is filling the pockets of the shrewd ope rators of New England. ACCOUNT O 1 TAE FIGHT NEAR PETERSBURG ON GICEAT SUCCICSI3 CL. ALICIA) The Petersburg Express contains an account of the fight near that city on Friday : It appears that on hltbrsday our fences, alter attaching the Yankees on the Weldon road, and driving them one mile, ceased the pursuit, and fell back to a point nearer the city, leaving only a skirmish line in front of the enemy, which was also Non alter withdrawn. The Express says: The enemy did net discover our disappearance from their front until yesterday morning, when they immediately threw forward their lines of skirmishers and advanced their lest to the battle-held of Thurs day, in Davis' corn-field, throWing up, as they ad vanced. two lines et breastworks. Their right was extended in an oblique direction to the northeast of the railroad, and batterrics were placed at favors, ble points along the whole line. This occupation of one of our main lines of com munication with the South was, of course, not to be ',ermined without an effort to dislodge the enemy. Aecordinnly, all arrangements having been com plefed, General A. P. Hill, commanding Alabene'S and Beth's divisions, attacked them between the hours of three and lour o'clock. General Mahone commanded the troops to the left of the railroad, sun General Hells those to the right. The attack was opened by Mahone, and was speedily responded to Ly Heth on the right, and the battle raged Dl rivuely. On the right, General Ileth, with the gallant bri gades of his division —Davis', Walker's and archer's—stink the enemy's picket line in the etaTitieki, a shore distance beyond Davis' residence. These were quickly forced hack upon the . tirst line of breastworks, bold by a formidable force. With a cheer, the Confederate troops bounded forward, and atoci t over all obstruction, pressing the Yankees back, with severe loss, into their second line ; g and, chargin onward, forced them thence with an equal lack et ceremony. Beaten from their works, and :ere sited in their every effort to retain them, the Yankees retreated to theft main line of entrenen. n. eats, into w hiot, they had been driven 011 the pre cious evening. This hue having been greatly Arenp,lhened. proved too strong to go stormed, and our troops were checked in the face el the slaughter which threatened a further advance. In the meantime, General Mahone, with Cling man's, Colquitt's, and his own former brigade, had st rt.olc the right of the Yankee Dims and captured cinht hundred prisoners. Pressing forward with his usual energy, he drove the enemy before him, sue. cesslully . charging them wherever they made a F11111(1. elnoing them strongly entrenched, how eNer, iA W I clAck, wQQ(I ovemite fiqui, it war (letermtne to disle(ltre their,.

[From the Washingtou Correpoudence of Fitzenrald:s City ite!3, Returning to the eanital I finnan entirely new element in the political world, the appearance of the National (.I,ion party upon a peace platform, nail this element having three months to work in, is likely to revelUtionin the present situation. It Most be remembered that the lietional Union party :Adze() the Hag when the Democracy abandoned it, cereneed the Union when all other political organi 'eatle.rs were its foes. or if its friends were paralyzed th tear. It is this great party that hit carried on the wa , . with an energy and success the mare remark ble,',,,matin 01 the apathyeand the oppesite.,li o f the Forth ~,emoeracy.. It has been pre - eminently the NtillT -4. the country, for its members met leTtee's..iFarlrenedecrof - the' to—nhOOSe between d elibe preservation.

Voesessed d by tnis Aministratitin ; if the col:estle of Ihe peace Demoora,ey could have been carried out, where would now .be our country? 43. certainly would it be divided a. uu.o r.o.a =bleep But suddenly we find the organs of the National Union party discussing the possibility or peace, the 'embed 01 making it, and the terms on which it should be made. With scarcely an exception we lied its leading men openly declaring their earnest I desire for peace, and their willingneas to secrieet erythire. but honor and prineipin to obean it. Tide to superficial thinker s may seem strange, and like a change of policy, but, in tact, it is merely the development of the permanent p..liey of the Union, and the unshaken wish of the Northern people. We want peace. We are deteru mete to have it be war, if no more economical and easier way to possible. Cnl we are icifting to try all otter fitean-a of gat - ivy that . arc ‘l,s, race! tel or et)ibeLl illy The informal negotatiens or the eelitmaale rebel agents at Niagara, with the leaders of the Demo cracy, and their bold attempt to force themselves upon the Government as accredited ministers tram the Richmond authorities, sr ith all the gossip and speculation which attended their deliberations, fixed the n ind of the nation upon the idea of peace. The %deft of Mr. Edmund Kirke (I'dr. Gilmore, properly), and COIODEII Jacques, to. Richmond, and teeir inter view with .Teffereon Davis, intensified the interest in the subject, until, at last, we find the possibility or making a speedy peace upon the basis of the Union the great ouesth?n of the day. New lam Klatt to see this spirit. It shows that the war has not embittered the people or the Neeth too deeply ; that their magnanimity has not been lessened by their sacrifices, and that they are in earnest when thel profess to have no hatred of the South in itself, but only as it is in rebellion. It ex poses the ridiculous pretence that the Democracy are the sole custodians of peace principles, that the war cannot be ended without putting Copperhead• lent in power. It proves that the National Union party is as true and earnest in its love of peace as any party cart be ard remain loyal, and that its grand object is to snake peace by restoring the Union, at the earliest hour, and in the noblest and most magnanimous spirit. In these respects the movement must do good, politi cally, but I doubt if it will hate any immediate of. feet upon the war. Peace is impossible so long as Davis has en army to sustain bite, and he will have a formidable sup port until Grant's deeislve success has convinced the people of the South that resistance to the tre- Mendous power of the Union is useless. Jeff. Davis himself said to Mr. Gilmore that he would agree to stop the war only by the division of the - Republic, anti be will keep his word. If it were possible now to have an armistice, and negotiations with the rebel authorities were opened, it would unquestionably be found that their ulti mate and imperative demand would be the Southern Confederacy. Who could agree to this? W.tio is so blind that he cannot see that proposals of peace from the United States would Utah° vur Govern ment the laughing stock of the world, anti the vic• titu of the rebellion 1 There is already a standing otter of peace to the people of the South, from the Government. and that offer has from the first been scornfully rejected by the leaders of the rebel ar mies. It will be gladly acre pied ;by the people of the South the moment those armies are destroyed. PERiONAL. " Shadow, 33 a corrmpondent of the mobile Registir, closes a tribute to the late Geo. P. Morris in these words : During forty years Geo. P. Morris knew no North nor South. He never did an injus tice to a Southern writer. His ear was always open to them, Ile met them with a welcome whenever they came to him, and ho deserves the grateful re. membrane° of all true and loyal lovers and profos• sors of literature in the South. I draw these rough outlines at random merely as afoot-noto. I kne v him well in many relations, and found him a true man in all. I could riot do less than Inscribe a kind word upon his tomb. Though of a race of enemies, he was never the enemy of any Southern man." Gen. Garfield has been renominated for Con gress in the Nineteenth Ohio district. Th.§ follow ing is one of the resolutions adopted almost unani mously by the convention: - - Resolved, That the recent attack upon the PreSi dent by Messrs. Wade and Davis is, in our opinion, ill-timed, ill-tempered, and ill-advised, carrying great and undisguised joy to rebel camps in the South ar,d rebel sympathizers in the North, and to the Union cause can be productive of evil, and only evil; and inasmuch as one of the authors of tethl protest is a citizen of this Congressional (harlot, and indebted in no small degree to our triendsidp for the position he now occupies, WO deem It a duty no less imperative than disagreeable to pronounce upon that illsorga niving manifesto our unqualified disapproval and condemnation. Livingston, the rebel spy, was executed at St. Louis, on Friday lest. The Democrat relates the following incident: "At an early hour - the jail was visited, by the inevitable Elizabeth Mood, the super stitious Swiss woman, who is a filleted with a dair clog of the heart,' and believes that she can he cured by sucking the blood of a man who has boon hanged. She implored Marshal Colt, with tears in her eye (she has but one), to allow her to enter the jail yard and obtain a few drops of Livingston's blood. The 'Marshal, remembering her violent demonstrations at the execution of Hansen, told her she would he allowed to Come in at twelve o'clock, when she could get as much blood as she - wanted. The vampire departed, promising to be back punc tually at twelve. When she returned, however, the execution was over, and, for the fifth or sixth time, Mrs. Mund was disappointed." Jackson Haines, the skater, says the New York Post, in imitation of Morphy, the chess-player; of Heenan, the prizefighter ; of Bateman, the actress, and Patti, the prima donna, hopes to win a fortune abroad ; and he has started for England, intending to make a professional tour as a skater—certainly a novelty in the way of amusements. He will Lravoi all over Europe, and will probably find the most en thusiastic patrons in Rolland, Scandinavia, and liustia, where ice and skates are almost national characteristics. The Hon.

The Faris agent of the leading dry goods house of the city has been withdrawn, the establishment in question declining to be a free purchaser of foreign fabrics in the face of peace and declining gold. Leading British importers are not only reducing their bust- Lees to a nominal amount, but are advising their friends not to send them anything on consign ment. The true volley is to rtlO out of debt, and to keep out, in view of the great fall in mar ket values of all commodities by the approach of pence and the return of the currency to a gold basis. That this is to be brought about at a blow is impossi ble, but tie result is certain, and a whole race of merchants can be ruined long before gold gets back to 100 even. A. tall of gold to 195. where it stood when tiongress legislated as to its sale, would give a shock to prices sufficient to cause numerous bank ruptcies. Merchants with sugar, coffee. and all imported goods bought with gold at 2SO or 250, Would rind themselves unable to meet their pay ments with these goods on band, The fear of simb. a state of things already affects trade in every do , pertinent, froni the small consumer up to the largest 'lmporter and manufacturer. Each and all buy more carefully and the balance of trade has com menced to decrease. The movement is healthy and should everywhere be encouraged."
