For nearly three years Charley has been serving his country in the South West,and lias participated in nearly all the battles of that hard fighting region.

The Squire, iu the last Monroe Demo crat, endeavored to make both himself aud his readers believe that Old Abe's re nomiuation is not popular with the peo ple. The article, however, bears the Im press of great labor, and gives evidence that its writer was engaged in an up hill business. The popular enthusiasm, which is already so apparent, as to call forth the tamest efforts of the Copperhead presses to suppress it, cannot be overlooked even by so wilful a pair of eyes as are the Squire's. He sees and feels it keenly ; and when he launches out in that style, he is only following the example of the boy who passes a grave yard after night fall "Whistling to keep his courage up." The Concert Dji't forget the Coucert to-morrow -evening at the Court House. The pro gramme is really the richest ever spread before an audience in this section of country, and Prof. Wolfe is sparing no expense or labor to have the properties in keeping with the performance. As the instruction necessary to bring the chil dren to the perfection which they have attained has all been given gratuitously, ire hope a full house may afford the Pro fessor some remuneration for his trouble. "The Coucert will embrace a Cantata iu three parts) and will represent a Pestival of Flowers in song. Tickets may be had at Browu & Keller's, Jewelry Store, and at llollinshcad's, and at Dreber & Broth er's Drug Stores. - Acquitted. Mr. Jeffrey TV. Wetherell, who was ou trial iu Philadelphia, last week, for the murder of Aaron Bertrand, was hon orably acquitted. The reader will re member the circumstances connected witl Ibis case, as a full account of the transac ts published in the Jeffersonian at the time of its occurence. After his term of fccrvice as detective agent for the Govern ment had expired, Wetherell was arrest ed and held for trial in this county. Ow ing to the excitement against him, it was feared he could not have an unprejudiced trial in our court, and the Legislature, on the facts being represented to that body, passed an act removing the case toPhila-j delphia, where after a representation of all the facts to a jury wholly unacquainted with the parties, a verdict of acquitted was obtained. The Soldiers right to Vote. Tn to-day's paper the reader will find the Sheriff's proclamation, ordering the Special Election to decide whether sol diers shall have a right to vote. The Election will take place on Tuesday, the 2ud day of August next. Voters, of Monroe County, on that day you will be called upon to decide whether, because they have evinced a greater patriotism than you, and marched forth to brave the bullet, the pestilence and the death inci dent to a soldier's life, that the life of the country may be spared, your sons, your Brothers and your friends are worthy to fee considered rational men, or whether by so doing they have forfeited all the rights and franchises of freemen. There is no other question in the contest, and he who would attempt to urge auothcr, for the purpose of warping your judgment and influencing your vote against so right eous a measure, is a Copperhead of the deepest dye, and should be spurned from you as Tou would spurn a malignant ser pent. Think, then, over the matter se riously. Thiuk for yourselves, and then ask yourselves, whether it impossible for a man, really loving liberty, aud con sistent in his desires to have others en- y r ancn,Who suffer everything it is possible to suffer, that the right of franchise may be preserved to him, of the cnjoyinent of the same blessed privilege. llemember ithe 2nd day of August, aud so arrange your busiues3that nothing may keep you iooi tthe polls on that da'. If3 Aniouc? the "rules" of the hotel in the "diggings" at Reese river, are the follow ing : "Lodgers inside rise at five A.

A Wood and Vallandigham victory. The National Executive Committee of ;the Latter-Day Democracy, have announ ced the postponement of the Chicago Convention until the 29th of August next. Ordinarily there would be nothing wor thy of note in this ; "but in viow of the fact that there exists in the ranks ot the opposition a war, as bitter as that which they wage unitedly upon the Union, par ty of the country, it becomes an import ant item in the current news of the" day. The election of Lincoln and Johnson being a forgone conclusion, it would doubtless have been more in accordance with true wisdom for the Executive Com mittee to have postponed the meeting of tho Convention until 1868. It is proba ble, too, that the idea to so postpone it, was turned over and looked at while dis cussing the proper dayj but the desire to hold the fag ends together no doubt had its force ; and with this hope, and no oth er, the 29th of August, 1SG4, was pre ferred to the 4th day of July, 18C8. Iu the party, the question of postpone ment has its pro and con, like every oth er question which engages the atteiitloi! of the worshippers of Democratic gener alities j and each side has its votaries. Those whose feelings are really on the side of the country, but whose patriotism is, as it were, stifled by their more ardent love of party, opposed postponemetit." Thcy had but little hope of success in the election, but they felt that their strength in the Convention was sufficient to secure the nomination of a candidate of their own peculiar stripe ; and they were most anxious that such a one should, if that little hope amounted to anything, be thus made to play to their advantage. On the other hand, those, who with Fer nando Wood an,d Brother Ben can see nothing but wrong this side of Dixie, not seeing their way so plain for the nomina tion of their special pet, and fearing the evils which an early meeting of the Con vention might inflict upon them, worked ardently, both early and late, for postpone ment. In delay they could see a chance for the acquisition of strength ; and iu a nomination, no matter how obtained thcT could see a means of furnishing "aid and comfort" to their brethren in rebellion, even though success did not perch upon their banners at the polls. The cud in their eyes, justified the means, and they set to work at once to beat down the op position, and to secure to themselves time, in which to make capital for their treas on. The announcement of the Executive Committee shows how successful they were, aud is a powerful premonition as to how successful they will be when the Convention assembles in August. Doubt less the same means which were employed to corrupt the Executive Committee will be used, with equal potency, in the Con vention ; after which the grumblers will be "whipped in," and the Peace party will occupy the place now claimed by the Democracy. It is truly humiliating to see the once proud Democracy so humbled its power gone, and it the subservient tool of men who are moving heaven and earth to break down the government of constitution and law, which the men of the olden time spent so much blood and treasure to build up. But so it is. The sons have lost the virtues intrusted to their keeping by their fathers they have descended from the love of principles to the worship of men, and we now find them the political pris oners of the Wood's and the Vallandig ham's of the North-the Toombs's, the Da vis's and the Benjamin's of the South It is true there is some grumbling in the party, but it will die away gradually un til the 29th of August, when, at Chicago, they will quietly submit their necks to the heavier yoke which Pernando and his august cotemporarics held in store for them. Gov. Andy Johnson. When the secessionists in the Senate of the United States were leaving their posts for the purpose of plunging the country into civil war, Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, then a U. S. Senator, pointed his finger significantly at Jefferson Davie, said : "If I were the President I would arrest you as traitors, try you as traitors, and hang you as traitors!" His course from that moment to this has been consistent with the declaration. It is this right chaiacter and determination, dis played whenever and wherever there has been occasion for it, that has given him the nomination for the Vice Presidency . May God prosper and protect the two Andy's. A drafted man. who fails to renort. is held to be a deserter, but the borough or township from which he is drafted is held liable to put him in the service. In case he does not report or pay commutation, another man will certainly be drafted from the sub-district to which he belongs. That is all that can be made by counsel ing drafted men to evade the law. The women have gone into the fields in many parts of the country to attend to planting the crops. In Cosehecton, Ohio, the women are doing the work in the fields, to replace the labor of their fathers, brothers, husbands and sweethearts, who have gone to the war.

Bqwland is ad yertisod as "Bcader" at Battlesnake, on the 4th of July, without learningfwhat.he is to read, suggests that he reads the follow ing resolutions, which were adoptedby the Convention of the Democracy of Monroe and Pike Counties, which nominated him for Assembly two years ago. The suggestion is a sensible one, and if it should happen to be taken to heart, and followed by George, would doubtless have good effect upon his auditors, though it might make them stare on learning the difference be tween what Democracy was then and what it is now. We do not see that any harm could come of it, if other leading Demo crats beside George could be induced thus to freshen their memories a little. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, Our Country is at present seriously convulsed by a wide spread re bellion which has culminated in a civil war, in which a portion of the people of southern section of the United States are in army array, iutent upon the disruption of the Union, and the destruction of the Constitution, and whereas it is highly proper" that parties and people should make a public avowal of their sentiments and feeling in favor of the maintenance of the Union, the Constitution, and the Laws, be it therefore Resolved, By this Convention, repre senting the feelings and views of the Democratic party of tho counties of Pike and Monroe, that wc are fully determined to sustain the Federal Government iu its efforts to preserve the Union and the Constitution, and that we favoa all just means that may be used in the accom plishment of these ends. . Resolved, That wc favor an energetic prosecution of the war on the part of our Government, by the immediate exercise of all the powers within its control, until rebellion shall have been crushed where ever it may exist in our land, and until traitors shall have been brought to an ac knowledgment of allegiance to tho Union, and a respect for the Constitution and the Laws. Resolved, That in our opinion the Fed eral Government cannot with honor, or safety entertain any propositions of peace or compromise until the rebels shall have laid down their arms, and acknowledged the binding force of the Constitution, the laws, aud the treaties made iu pursuance thereof, as the law of the land. Resolved, That we demand of the can didates before this Convention, a full and unequivocal endorsement of the princi ples coutained in the foregoing resolutions and a pledge that they will willingly act in conformity thereto. More Horse Stealing. Several days since a strange applied to Mr. George Stuckert, a livery stable keep er of Allentown, Pa., to hire a span of horses for two days. He was politely ac commodated with a fine pair of mares, wagon and harness. From some strange hallucination the stranger forgot to return to Allentown, but having heard of our flourishing village concluded to pay us a visit. He arrived here, and by his af fibility and gentlemanly deportment soon gained the acquaintance of several of our citizens. J.McCarter, Jr., and J. F. Dunn, Esq., both became acquainted with him. Being of an accommodating disposition he was speedily induced to exchange his pair of mares for other animals of inferi or value. To Mr. Dunn he traded one mare and to Mr. McCartcr the other in the exchange of animals getting 35 in cash from the former, and 20 from the latter, as boot-money. The next day the stranger, who said his name was Miller, concluded to leave town for a day or two, and having left his exchanged horses, wagon and harness in the custody of the proprietor of the Durling House, leisure ly took his departure, and has not yet re turned. All went "merrily as a marriage bell" until last Friday evening, when Mr. McCarter, upon going into the reading room of the Cochran House, was confront ed by a huge hand bill, headed 350 re ward. A hasty reading of the hand bill satisfied him that he and Mr. Dunn had been done out of $55, and that he and Mr. D. had each in their possession mare which was the rightful property of Mr. btuckert. Mr. McCarter immediate ly despatched a messenger to Mr. S. to inform him where his property might be found, and to claim the o0 reward. Mr. S. came to Newton on Monday night,took possession of his property, paid the re ward, and left for home. Mr. McCarter, wc may add, after deducting his 20 aud expenses, generously handed over the bal ance to his unfortunate friend Dunn who has done pretty well after all. The question is not now where is Capt. Gill ? but have you seen anything of Miller 1 Sussex True Democrat. The Senate some days ago, passed a Constitutional Amendment lor the abro gation of Slavery throughout the llepub lic. This was done by more than a two thirds vote. Last week the House came to a vote on the proposition, and the A mendment failed. The vote stood, for the Amendment 93 : against it 64. This shows a large majority to be in favor of wiping Slavery out; but not the required two thirds. Of the 93 who voted for the proposi tion 89 were Union and 4 democrats. Of the 04 who voted airainst tho nrnnnsi. tion 63 were democrats and 1 Union. Absent, or not votioe. 12 Union nnd 1ft j v democrats.

News to Friday Morning TM Misfor tune of Wednesday Retrivcd Our Loss "2,500 in Killed, Wounded, ami Prisoners No Fighting on Thursday Night. Headquartors Army of the Potomac, ) June 23, 1864 p. m. j The attack upon the 2d Corps on Wed nesday, near the Weldon Railroad, did not result so disastrously as at first sup posed. The line was formed by Barlow's divi sion, being on the left; Briney's, Mott in command, in the center, and Gibbon's on the right. It was expected that the 6th Corps would have connected on the left with Barlow, but it seems quite a gap was left, into-which A. P. Hill's Bcbcl corps entered, and before our men werc aware of it they received a volley in the rear, which created quite a panic in our ranks aud caused a rapid retreat to the woods in the rear of the 3d Division. This left the flank of the 3d Division unprotected, and the enemy, taking ad vantage of it, charged through and fairly into our pits, ordering the men to surren der. The troops, however, left the trenches and fell back rapidly, but mauy of them WCro captured, and quite a uuraoer were killed and wounded boforo they got a way. The number of our loss in prisoners is reported at 1000, while some make the figure higher. Our loss in killed arid wounded is pro bably 1,500 Some four of our officers engaged in this fight had just joined their commands after being exchanged, and when sur rounded and ordered to surrender, re plied, "Never! Death rather than the Libby Prison r and, noting their way out as best they could, many of them succeeded in getting back sate to our Hues. At 8 p. m. a charge was made by the 2d Corps and the line ot works from which they had been forced in the- after noon, was recovered. We lost scarcely a man in this ad vance, as the Bebcls fired too high, the balls all passing over the heads of our men. A number or pnsouers were ta ken Skirmishing was kept up all night a loug the line, the pickets being, at some poiuts, not fifty yards apart At daylight this morning an advance of the entire line was made, when it was found that the Itebels had taken a new positiou some distance further back, where they had throwu up some strou intrenchments during the night, which they still hold. Col. Blaisdell of the 11th Massa chusetts was killed to-day by a sharp shooter while visiting the skirmish line. Lieut. W. II.

Halscy of the 11th New-Jersey is missing, aud is supposed to be cap tured. The 6th Corps moved toward the rail road this morning, driviug the enemy be fore them, and during the afternoon re ported that they were in possession of the road, and arrangements were at once made to destroy it. At 5 p. m. a large force of Eebels was seen moving toward the front, as if to re sist the advance of the 6th Corps, and an engagement iu that direction is expected to-night. Attaclc on Gen.

J une 25 6 a. m The only fighting that took place yes terday was an attaclc made by the enemy on Gen. Burnside: but whether intended as a feint to cover some more important move, or an attempt to break through his lines, it was a failure. They opened with a heavy fire of artillery, which was re turned by our batteries, and the Bebcls, making a charge, were driven back in confusion, upward of 100 being taken prisoners. This occurred about 8 a. in., and the artillerv firino- was kenfc un for j 0 r i an honr, when all became quiet at that point. About the same time a battery opened in front of a hospital on the left of the 6th Corps, which the llebels seemed de sirous of cleaning out, but they were de terred by our guns before any damage re sulted. Picket firing is still kept up along the entire line, and iu almost every hospital are a few victims of this species of war fare.

Beatty, of the 3rd Ver mont, was in charge of the party that reached the road, aud he fell back slowly, while the skirmish line held tho in check, but a body of the enemy made a flank movement, expecting to turn the left flank of the lino of battle.

Skirmishing on Thursday Artillery Duels Hot Weather The Dosses of the Second Corps, Etc. Washington, June 25, 1864. Another letter from the Army of the Potomac, dated near Petersburg. June 23, 8 p. m., says: We have had plenty of skirmishing all day. The sharpshoot ers on both sides are continually ex changing shots, and frequently pick off meu who are perhaps a thousand yards distant. One battery of thirty-two pounders is trained on the rebel batteries near Pe tcrsburg, and every morning we are treat ed to a splendid artillery duel. The weather has been unusually warm and oppressive, and cases of sunstroke are quite numerous. Every indication of rain gradually melts away with the morning mists, and by midday the heat is insufferable. . Some men were captured from the Sec olid corps wheu the rebels got into their rear and took McKnights battery of the Twelfth jN'ew-iork artillery.

Major Crowinshield, of the 17th Mas sachusetts Cavalry, had 700 mounted men of a provisional brigade, composed of de tachments from all its regiments aud com panies.

In the meantime the Bebcls had suc ceeded in getting between Gibbon and Barlow. They were as much surprised as our men, but, being first to make a discovery of the position of affairs, were quick to take advantage of it. There was very little hard fighting, and the meu were taken before they were fully prepared for resistance. The hor ses were cut from the battery and the guns spiked. When the line was reformed the Be bcls came up again, but were twice re pulsed with dreadful losses. The 6th Corps charded them, driving them some distance, and forming ou the left of the 2d Corps. Opinions of Mr. Secretary- Dana Grant's Superiority of Force He has Dee by the 1 hroat, and will Strangle Jinn. Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune. Washington, June 27, 1864. Mr. Dana, the Assistant Secretary of War, who will be accepted throughout the. United States as one of the most in telligent and cool observers that liave studied the war, as well as one of the most truthful of men, has answered the questions of anxious inquirers here about the situation at Petersburg, to the effect that Lee sMorcc is not iuorctban two thirds of Grant's; that cur "losses last week in the mo'vemont toward the Wel don Road were militarily unimportant. and that Grant had his hand ou Lee's throaty and would keep his hold till he 1 1 B strangled him to death. He gives to all tho assurance of our fi. ual and conclusive success. Among the striking facts which Mr. Dana has men tioned is, that we have at th is mnmnnt ft! 000 of the Rebel soldiers prisoners .in our hands. The public fceliug here to-ni'ht is one ot absolute,, unwavering confidence in tho future aud iu Grant, and over aud aoove all in Grant's army. The coolest and most soldierly heads in Washington now declare that it cannot bo whipped- w.u uuuuu, iuuucu, can lean on it. The Radical Germans of Ohicagohave published a protest against the late Cleve land Convention or rather against the delegates thereto from Chicago, who were not olected by a majority of the Associa tion.

"IttcKLESs Speculators." Since the passage of the gold hill by Congress, buying and selling the precious metal have ceased in the Stock Exchange. There are no long-' er any official quotations of its price. A few reckless speculators, many of.themd.wHhi more sympathy witb Jeff Davis than the Union cause, have taken advantage of this 6ondition of affairs, and are announcing gold at all prices from two hundred to two hund red and thirty. Others have increased the exciterifent for the purpose of accomplishing' the repeal 6? a modification of the new law. The Copperhead press yesterday morning quoted it as high as two hundred and ten, and endeavored to make the public believe . that the rise was caused by the failure of General Grant in his operations on Peters burg. The effect of the gold bill has fur nished the secesh sympathizers with splen did opportunity to rush through thh street and keep up a clamor and bluster, announcing gold at any price they choose. That is the business that they are engaged in jffst now which explains the whole affair. Let one of our merchants visit Wall street With ten thousand dollars of gold to sell, and he will very scon ascertain that gold is not bringing any such price as the secesh street brawlers quote it at. From the N. Y. Tribune. "Gold Gambling." Gold-gambling hatf long been a favorite resort of treason and its sympathizers in our city. The intercepted correspondence last year of prominent rebels burrowing here showed that they believed they were serving their master, Jeff Da vis, as much by forcing up the price of gold in our market as they could do by leading his regiments in Virginia. Congress, by the new gold act, has struck them a telling blow, and they writhe and foam madly in conse quence. Their craft is in danger or worse, and they are making desperate exertions to wreck the credit and finances of the Union f in order at once to glut their rapacity and secure the triumph of the slaveholders' re bellion. Such is the essential impnlse to the spasmodic and convulsive cxiggeration . of the premium on gold during the last two days. Anv man who has green backs can buy gold with them in perf ct obedience to the law of Congress, or he can sell gold (if he has any) for greenbacks. What the law forbids is selling gold you have not, or buying and not paying for it, Betting on the price of gold at a future dayf and other forms of gold-gambling, are like wise forbidden ; but actually to buy or sell gold, paying or taking pay for it in the legal currency of the country, is nowise forbidden or discouraged. You are swindling your readers, sir ! and trying to coin their credu lity into disloyalty and national ruin I Be ware!
