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

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

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.

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. His record is
I the attestation of his fitness for the position : while
the wounds he bears on his front aro the evidence
of his courage to lead where brave men dare follow,
end where blows can only be struck for lasting vic
tory.
Co]. Gregg is new in Philadelphia, suffering from
terrible wounds received while participating in one
of tho late successful raids front the Army of the Po.
toterte. Ile will, however, soon be fit for duty, again
resume the active service in which he hcs so 50 0_
cessluily been engaged almost from the hour of the
precipitation of the slaveholders' rebellion.

extract credited to the Washington R,vutliettn,
urging the election of our best men to (Jewess, and

The Boston Transcript says t "We understand
that a gentleman of this city, who has adready buC
cessfully introduced many improvements in the
manufacture 01 fibrous and felted goods, has patented
a process for making paper stock from ilax, wool, or
other fibrous materials, by which it is claimed that
one-half the chemicals now used will be saved, and
that good stock may be made for less than six cants
per pound: Paper-rnalsera Iva' Understand the im
portance of the saving in chemicals, which is ono of
the heaviest items of expenditure in making viper
stock. As 3 et, nothing has been done to put the
new process into practical operation. or even to test
its merits, the time and attention 'of the inventor
being absorbed by his other extensive business ope•
rations. But the attention of printers, paper
n:;=kers, and capitalists cannot fail to he drawn to
any improved process which holds nut a hope of

e may soon see a revolution in the ruanufaOttUal of

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.

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.

[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

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 Now York Tribune, in discussing the subject
Of peace' . and its bearings upon the business of the
country, remarks :
"The prospect of peace begins to show itself upon
the general hUsineS3 of the country in the form of
caution in making new engagements. 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."
