MEETING OTEF THE UNION' STATE CEN.
AL COMMITTEE.
BUMMED, PA., Aug, 19, 1865.
The members of the Union State Central
Committee, appointed by the recent Con
vention at Harrisburg, are requested to
meet: at No. 1105 Chestnut street, Philadel•
phia, on THURSDAY, the 31st day of Au
gust, 1865, at ten o'clock A. N., for the
purpose of organization and the transac
tion of such other business as may elaim their
attention.
A full attendance is earnestly requested.
JOHN CESSNA,
Chairman Union State Central Committee.
PENNSYLVANIA.
There is perhaps less State pride in Penn
aylvania than in any other Commonwealth
in the Union, and yet none of her sisters
have more - real cause to congratulate them
selves either upon their past history or their
present position. The unostentatious cha
racter of our early settlers, whether of the
English Friends or the German colo
nists, and their studious avoidance of all
forms of self-laudation ) are probably the
causes of the apparent unconscious
ness of political greatness which is a
marked trait of Pennsylvania character.
Englishmen are forever lauding old Eng
land ;` Frenchmen delight in the glory of
France ; New Englandinen are full of ad
miration for the great region " down East ;"
New Yorkers boast loud and long of the
superiority of the Empire State ; our neigh
bors in New Jersey gallantly defend the
reputation of their native home ; Virginians
imagine that Virginia is of more importance
than nearly all the rest of the Union com
bined ; the people of the several Western
States never tire of singing their praises,
and even the Delawarians think the
diminutive proportions of their territory
only proves that " the best goods come
in the smallest packages ;" but our ci
tizens are habitually indisposed to boast
of the glories of their noble Common
wealth, and only realize its greatness when
they contrast its characteristics with those
of the regions that are so highly lauded.
We have no Plymouth Rock, but we have
the site of the old Elm Tree, under which
"the only treaty not ratified by, an oath,
and the only one that never was broken,"
Was made. In the Friends, the Mora
vians, the lslennonists, the Dunkers, the
Lutherans, and the Scotch-Irish Presby
terians, who formed our original set
tlers, were embraced many of the purest,
most industrious, and most useful colonists
that ever landed on the shores of America.
The wave of progress has not yet washed
away all their virtuous teachings and the
traces of their peculiarities, but among
hundreds of thousands of their descendants
their example and precepts are still, in
whole or part, religiously respected. It
was a fortunate occurrence for the young
colony plwit6d by WILLLUI PENN that,
when its civilization had fairly commenced,
BENJA3IIN FRANKLIN became its most
prominent citizen, and directed, with his
master mind, for •half a century, its
subsequent progress up to the time
of the formation of the Federal Go
vernruent. No State is richer in me
mentos of the Revolutionary war. We
have not only the sacred Hall of Inde
pendence, but the historic battle-fields of
Brandywine and Germantown, and the
ever-memorable camping ground at Valley
Forge. Here the Continental Congress
conducted its momentous proceedings, and
here the measures were devised which
finally led, after a long and bloody strug
gle, to the destruction of the bonds of colo
nial vassalage. Despite the conscientious
peace principles of a portion of our popula
tion, our State furnished a large number of
the soldiers of the Revolutionary army,
and some of its bravest and most dis
tinguished officers. And our merchants
and financiers made the most liberal con
tributions to the treasury of the Revolo.-
tion.
At a very early day the foundations were
laid in Philadelphia for the institutions of
learning, the scientific societies, and the
philosophic and philanthropic organizations,
for which she has ever since been distin
guished. Here was displayed the true me
tropolitan spirit—the love for art and sci
ence, and the tendency to advance the intel
lect and develop the refined tastes of man
kind. If the National capital had not
been removed to Washington, and if the
numerous influences which have led to the
rapid and steady growth of our city had
'been strengthened by those that naturally
cluster around the seat of government of a
great nation, Philadelphia would probably
equal Paris to-day in population, and ex
ceed her 14 all that constitutes essential
greatness. As it is, she stands in the fore
most rank of American cities ; is capable
of indefinite expansion ; and will undoubt
edly (as the people are driven from New
'York by high rents and poor houses, and
mile after mile of our municipal domain is
filled tip with cheap new buildings) be
come the greatest city on this continent,
and, perhaps, in the world. The great
humanitarian anti-sldvery movement was
virtually commenced here, and has cer
tainly always found among a small but
consistent and untiring portion of our
population "a still, small voice " pleading
on, undismayed and undaunted, to an un
y.inpathizirig world, until finally the prin.
ciples of immutable justice have been
acknowledged, and the curse of slavery. is
eradicated from almost every Christian
land.
Meanwhile, great cities, flourishing towns,
and beautiful villages, have sprung up in
every quarter of our State. The industry
and skill of our farmers is proverbial, and
we have exceeded all other States in the
care and labor devoted to the development
of the vast mineral wealth with which the
whole Union abounds. We have struggled
earnestly amid many discouragements to
diversify our industry so that all the ele
ments of a self-sustaining empire should
be created within our own boundaries,
and we have achieved a very fair
measure of success. Our railroad sys
tem is wonderfully useful and extensive,
and with our coal, iron, oil, varied manu
factures, and fertile farms, we have per.
Laps made a nearer approach to a position
of industrial and commercial indepen
dence than any other extensive portion
of the new world. Our three millions of
brave, industrious, educated citizens, with
Such antecedents and such resources, may
- well feel proud of their State, and grateful
for its position. But, whatever may be its
power, they will be the last to lose in
a sense of self-importance the feeling
of attachment to the whole republic for
Which they have always been eminently
distinguished. The records of the striti!
just ended afford a proof of their devo
tion to the Union that will in future ages
constitute the brightest page in their his
tory. First to rush to the defence of the
Capitol in 1861, our Pennsylvania troops
shared in the glories of all the great battles
of the war. They formed in themselves an
army of which a mighty nation might well
be proud, and attested their valor by in
numerable achievements of the most daring
.and brilliant character. A long line of il
lustrious officers in the army and navy are
natives of our State, and a portion of the
lustre of their hard-earned glory will be re
flected back upon its annals. We have a
right to be prouder than we are of our grand
old Commonwealth, and we should all strive
earnestly to elevate the standard of its le
gislators and rulers and to place its political
destinies only in the hands of men worthy
of so exalted a trust.
THE LATE MOSES THOMAS, ESQ.
WASHINGTON IRVING died nearly six
years ago. Re bag been followed by his old
fiend, TdoBßs THOMAS, whose death we
ail:mow:lee to-day. Their acquaintance corn
xuenced in 1812, when both were young,
enterprising, and full of hope. I n 1813-14,
Invrtio edited the Analectic Magazine for
his friend MOSES THOMAS, contributing To
itt, among other articles, biographies of
LAWRENCE, PERRY", PORTER, and some
more naval officers "of mark and note,"
and a charming memoir of THOMAS CArr-
BELL, the poet. In a letter from Invnio to
his brother WILLIAM, in January, 181.5,
from Philadelphia, he says "I find that
BRADFORD and I.w.sxEnr have failed, and .
ruined poor MOSES Trowels, the book
seller." A few years later, Mr. THOMAS
was the Philadelphia publisher of "Knick
erbocker," " The Sketch-Book," and other
works by Mr. IRVING, and they were firm
friends to the last.
Mr. MOSES THOMAS, who died yesterday
in his 79th year, was born in Arch street,
in this city. He learned the bookselling
and publishing business in BRADFORD'S
store, and opened a book establishment of
his own, in Chestnut street, before he was
twenty-five years old. The Analeak Ma
gazine, of which he published twelve half
yearly volumes, was originated and pub
lished by him. The Book Trade Sales, a
peculiar feature in American I)l.ll)liShing,
Were commenced by Mr. THOMAS. At the
time when, from causes over which he had
no influence, he was unfortunate in busi
ness, half a century ago, the Book
Sales were held by Mr. GEORGE W.
LORD, who, instead of numbering them
in continuation, commenced to number
them anew. Thus, though the next sale,
to begin on September 19th, will be num
bered the sixty-fifth, it really is the seven
tieth or the seventy-second. Mr. THOMAS,
on resuming business, also resumed these
sales, and gradually permitted his engage
meats and popularity as an auctioneer, to
occupy his whole attention. He was proud
of his calling, as well as fond of it, and it
was well worth visiting the Exchange on
Tuesdays, to see the old gentleman—ever
social, cheerful, and genial—dispose of
real property, under the hammer. This
he did until a few months ago,
when his son and partner, Mr. J. DOTER
THOMAS, officiated in his place, failing
health not permitting himself to continue
the exertion. For many years the auction
rooms of M. THOMAS & Sons, in South
Fourth street, near TILE PRESS office, have
been well known, in and out of this city.
The building itself is one of the finest busi
ness edifices in Philadelphia. The business
will be continued, we understand, by the
surviving partners—Messrs. Jorm Dovzu
THOMAS, N. A. JENNINGS, (son-in-law of
the deceased,) and THOMAS S. ELLIS.
Mr. TrtowAswas a well-read man, intelli
gent, and anecdotal. His recollection of
men and things was quick and perfect, and
his acquaintance with eminent persons was
extended. General WINFIELD SCOTT, one
of his oldest friends, usually was Mr.
Trio3rAs' guest when he visited Philadel
phia. We have lost a respected fellow
citizen, and all who hear of this calamity,
though it was to be expected at his ad
vanced age, will unite with us in regretting
the death of MOSES THOMAS.

the army during the war have been honorably

WASEUMITow, D. C., July 19,180.
John S. Blatchford, .Esg., General Secretary
. Semilvry. Commission, Washington, D. C. :
Sin : I have to aclimowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 15th instant, covering a reso•
lntion of the Sanitary Commission acknow
ledging the co-operation of the Quartermas
ter's Department in the efforts and operations
of the Sanitary Commission during the war for
the suppression of the rebellion. I shall take
pleasure in communicating the resolution of
the Commission to the officers under my
command, and desire to express my thanks
for the manner in which the Commission has
acknowledgd the assistance and aid which we
have been able to tender them. The Quarter
masters Department IS charged with the duty
of transporting and delivering to the troops
who are in garrison, hospital, camp, or field,
nearly all the supplies essential to life and
comfort. It stores and transports not only
the supplies of clothing, equipment, shelter,
and means of transportation, but the sub
sistence, hospital supplieS, - and ammunition
which are provided by the other departments.
Upon the efficient performance of its duties
depend, therefore, in a great measure, the
military efficiency, comfort, and health of the
troops; and thence the success of military
operations. The Sanitary Commission, Or•
ganizing sympathy, has given unity and
character to the efforts of thefriunds and rela
tives of the soldiers on a gigantic scale, and
borne an important part in the war. It has
supplied, without the delays which are in
separable from a complete official, peettitiarY,
and personal accountability, much which the
regular departments of supply could not so
soon, or could not at all, distribute.
Its agents have been everywhere, and have
aided and assisted the officers, cheered many
a weary and wounded man, and saved many a
life. When the secretary of the Commission
first called upon me at the outbreak of the
war, 1 well remember the interview, and the
joyful expression which, after comparing our
opinions and views as to the manner in which
the Commission Could best fulfill its objects of
usefulness, he said I had given him new hope
and confidence, and that lie then, for the first
time, felt he had. "touched bottom," and had
found firm ground to stand upon.
Since then I have seen the operations of the
fAmmission, not only in this city and the ex-
ICDEttie hospitals which surround it, but at
the bases of supply—the, temporary depots
through which the wounded were passing after
great battles. I have gratefully recognized
the value of its labors to the soldier, to the
officer, and to the cause, and rejoice that I was
early brought into contact with it, and that I
had been able to aid it by my own efforts, and
by thoise of officers under my direction.
This country has many proud memories to
mingle with the sad/leas of the late war; and
among the prominent will be the magnificent,
voluntary sympathy and charity to its repre
sentative soldiers, organized and conducted
by Sanitary Commission.
Wishing the members and onieers of the
Commission health and happiness, and a long
life to enjoy the honor and regard with which
their names are crowned by a free people, I
have the honor to be, most respectfully, your
obedient servant, N. C. Mums,
QuarlernlaSter General, Brevet Major General.

Commission held at Washington, July 1'2,1815,

[Correspondence of The Press.]
BRISTOL, Pa., August 25,1865.
I have read in your journal, from time to
time, of ghosts that in
"The dank and awesome midnight walk;"
and read, also, the grave remarks on the 811.
perstition of the age, developed, as it was, in
the nineteenth century, with all >its civiliza
tion, and, thorough knowledge of the ethereal,
obtained in trials like that of Colchester.
But, though the "haunted house" of New
York was sneered at, and the existence of the
" spirit of the daisy-elad meadow" at Chicago
doubted, you should have taken at least some
notice of a ghost which promenades almost at
your own office-door ; promenades, too, at mid
night and at rosy dawn, to the horror and
wonder of those among whom it makes its
nightly visitations.
There is a ghost right here—here in Bristol—
the principal town of Bucks county—a larger
town than even the home of DemocratieDavis,
who wants to be Auditor General—and it has
been here for the last twenty-flve years.
You have never been in Bristol ? Well, if
you have not, you have been through it ; for
half a dozen trains for New York and
Trenton go shrieking and roaring through the
town every day, or stop, with snorts and
screams, at its southern edge. There was an
accident here a short time ago, and many
poor soldiers lost their lives while en route
for distant New England homes—safe, un
scarred, amid the dangers of a score of bat
tles. But the ghost was not of those who un
bidden went into eternity. The ghost is an
old ghost—as old as the writer at least—and
has occupied one of our finest residences for a
quarter of a century.
Like every country town in the State, we
have one street—a main street—which mono
polizes all the attempts at fine architecture
that our residents have had the courage to
make since Bristol sprang out of the wilder
ness a hundred years ago. It runs parallel with
the river for half a mile or more so that the
residents on either side have, when they rise
in the morning, a view of the new-born sun as
it peeps over the Jersey pines and sand hills,
and floods with liquid gold the laughing,
blue ripples of the broad Delaware. It is lined
With wide-branching oaks and slenderpoplars,
so that when a stranger gazes up the long vista,
he realizes the old poet's idea of rue in urbe.
There are new mansions and old mansions—
little cottages, weather-stained and rheu
matic—flanking the trees—relics of the com
fort and solidity of a by-gone era, and speci
mens of the flash ideas of the new. About
half-way up the road is a little old wooden
inn, that every gossiper in the village will
tell you "Washington once stopped at."
It leans out, as if uncertain whether to
fall on you, or only to make you a polite
bow, or as if perhaps too weak to hold uP
the ancient sign, with a faded daub of a
very ugly St. George wrestling with a very
improbable dragon, which swings from the
end of a long pole inserted in the eaves.
The inn's old peaked roof is battered, and
time, anxious to cover up the rents and
ruins it has made, has carpeted it all over with
moss, whilelhe rain stained red front peeps
out in spots here and r there from behind a
wealth of thick clustering ivy. There are lit
tle old windows and little old doors presented
to view—for there is only a front view—the
rest is lost in grape vines, the branches of an
old elm, and clumps of clematis. Once upon
a time, when our ancestors "staged it " from
New York to your city, the driver used to hold
np his four prancing horses before the door
of this inn with a vociferous " whoa n , and a
flourish of the whip, and then the antique
passengers would get out and shuffle over the
sanded floor to drink the antique drinks, and
discuss the antique dishes. The bar and the
host were new then. Both of them are antique,
too, now, and keeping firm pace with each
other down the road to decay. But where is
the ghostl you ask. Your correspondent will
try to tell you. On the opposite side of the
way, not far from the inn, is one of those solid
Old manorial residences of gray stone,
seamed with mortar, white yet, after fifty
years, and as hard as the rock they clasp so
lovingly. A broad lawn stretches down to the
very roadside, but a stout picket fence forbids
the wayfarer entrance. Great trees grow tip
out jot the sod, and scraggy bushes and
beds of flowers have run wild until the
green sward is almost lost in the luxu
riance of these and other pets of Nature.
Foryears no gardener's care has confined them
within moderate bounds. Up those tangled
walk-s, bounded by over-grown 'boxwood, and
Shaded till the very gravel is damp and
clammy, no human foot has passed for many
a - weary clay. The old mansion rises up among
the trees with a ruggedness, and darkness, and
a desolation which are in themselves porten
tous. The windows—some of them—are closed
—and the rust of the old-fashioned hinge-bolts
has stained in long descending streaks the
once white surface of the shutters. Other
windows are half-closed; others fully open,
looking like great staring eyes. Glass is want
ing everywhere, and when the storms come,
the rains and snows beat in upon furniture
which in the good old times would have been
called splendid. The winter winds whistle
through the lone halls, and the summer
zephyrs sigh, as if chanting some sad monody,
There is where the ghost is!
WHAT TR& GHOST DOES
This fine mansion is deserted. On dark
nights or at midnight hour it is avoided, and
the luckless night who has to pass it walks on
tip-toe like the opposing pickets used to do on
the peninsula when a soldier in the copses
was unwittingly exposing himself to death.
Moans have been heard to come through the
gaping, broken windows—shrieks, impreca
tions, soliloquies—as if there was some
thing or somebody in agony—something or
somebody that wanted to die, yet was
commanded to live—and lights often glare
out in the darkness, or pass by the win
dows with such rapidity as to leave
a long line of light behind, But the appear
ances are not by night alone. but by day also.
The orgies of the ghost do not disappear, like
mountain mists, before the sun. In sunlight
as well as -by the "glimpses of the moon" the
spirit walks, to the affright even of those who
arc bold enough to enter within the haunted
precincts. Its manifestation. 4 differ in thO day
time, however. A few days ago I was conver
sing with two young ladies who were here for
their summer vacation. Peeps into Paley
and other studies tending to a disbelief in
spiritual appearances, had made them a little
wore courageous, and a little more skeptical
—I can hardly tell which—of any such " non
sense,” as one of the young ladies said. Hear
ing, as I have done, in my sojourn here, that
these particular" goings-on" of the spirit were
at precisely six in the morning, my lady friends
determined to brave ghostly displeasure by
entering his domain, and plucking a wild
flower or two. They went as promised, to
the affright of servants, who were surprised
at unwonted early rising—and now let them
tell their own talc ;
"The sun had got up when we gotto the gate.
When we opened it, it creaked on its rusty old
hinges, and went back again with a slam after
we had passed through. That frightened us a
little ; but still we kept on right through the
tangled bare grass in the path, and the twist
ed stems Of boxwood, wet with dew, went
around the side of the house right to the
back, where there is a large flower-bed that
has been growing to weeds, and growing and
growibg longer than I am old."
The lady did not say how old she was, and I
was too modest and too much afraid of my
countenance to ask, although I might have
done so, for she talked so fast that she bad to
stop for breath.
-
"And theul" I queried.
"Wen, we went right up to the flower-bed,
and Annie was just pulling a sprig of gerani
um, when there canto a rapping—such a rap
ping—at a window just over our heads (a little
shudder,) and a shower of tiny pebbles—and
Where they came from we didn't know. We
were frightened, I tell you. But we weren't
going to give up. So we tried to get a flower
again—and then there was a rapping again,
only quicker and louder than before—a shuff
ling of feet and a groan. We looked up at the
window, but saw nothing—and then we ran
away Just as fast as we Could, and I fell down
in the tangled path to negate."
Paley and Ilorne and all their homilies were
forgotten that time, and my lady friends are
now believers in ghosts, at least the "Ghost of
the ruined nuinsion,” as the mystery is roman
tically called here.
The manifestations at night have more of
horror for susceptible and superstitious minds
and weak nerves, for darkness invests with
terror what daylight shows even to be quite
usual and commonplace. I will not enter into
any detailed description of them, but give
you the statement of an old farm-hand who,
after speaking of the "haunted mansion,"
gave his own experiences.
" You see, *WI he said, while be stepped big
horses, (he was ploughing at the time,) and
gathered up the rein-ends in a lump in his
brawny fist—" you see, sir, I was just the way
I ant now, (Ile wore a shirt and muddy ker-
Bey pants tucked into his boots, and a battered
straw hats) I was going down to the store
for the old man, and I had a bit of a
kettle in my hand and a big basket
slung over my shoulder. I walked along
first rate till I got down to that place," (nod
ding his head towards the mansion with a rao
tion half muscular, half nervous.) "I felt
queerish like, and hitched myself up to go by
right and square. It was only about nine
o'clock, or thereabouts—may-be it might be
close to ten—but what should I see when I got
to the far end of the fence, but a tali person in
white, with a brown kind of a handkerchief
on its head—and it had a candle in one of them
old-fashioned candlesticks. It walked along
on the tops of the flowers and box-bush like,
and didn't bend them."
"All P' was my involuntary exclamation,
while I assumed an air of great interest and
entire belief.
"Yes, sir," said the ploughman, decisively,
" £113.d it walked right towards me, and then I got
up and left, and that's all I know,"
"And do you really believe in the existence

We did not demur, but left him, and wo

of good done the soldiers, thus benefiting th
country by assisting the National govern

credit upon their hearts, through drafts upoi '
their pockets. The Committees, themselve.
are entitled to great consideration, for the
or at least the most active of them, havegive
their time—no matter how unseasonable th

The New York Stock Exchange has passed
a resolution unanimously declaring that any
member attending what is known as the " Eve
ning Stock Exchange," or sending an Older
there, directly or indirectly, shall, by that act,
cease to be a member. This action has not
been taken too soon. The "Evening Ex
change " was wholly demoralizing in' its ef
fects, and for a merchant to be seen there was
as discreditable as to be found in the gambling
houses with which it was surrounded. The
Open Board of Stock Brokers also passed a
similar resolution on a vote of ninety-seven to
seventeen.
The European advices in regard to the crops
have given new strength to the grain market
and to railway property. Without a large ex
port of breadstuffs the railroads are in posses
sion of train° sufficient to continue their
dends. With an active demand for grain they
will be able to name their oum-nviees, and
place more money to the "C , of the stock
than during the war. An expo.a of grain will
reduce gold, and enable the railroads to
cheapen their cost of repairs and operating
expenses.
The amount of currency issued during the

throughout the week, and far exceeding that of the
previous. We notice buyers in town from all die
sections; and the following States are largely repre
sented—viz; Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Ohio, and the near-by trade. Orders have been re
ceived iu large numbers from different States. Seve
ral large orders from the Western States have been
received, which will keep the manufacturers ac
tively engaged for some weeks to come. The princl
- pet demand has been for fancy and heavy goods.
Tile stock as yet in jobbers' hands is light, with a
pie spect of increasing - it to meet the demand or
customers. Prices haVe an upward tendency, ow
ing to the high rates demanded for all materials
used in the manufacture of shoes. This, with the
scarcity of labor and high prices, may be expected
for all descriptions of goods.
