State Convention at Pittsburg-, June 5th Our nation's Defenders Stand Uobly by their Colors- Unanimous Endorse ment of General Geary. Pursuant to an call issued some time since by Major-Geueral Hartranft, a large number of delegates elected by the hon orably discharged Union soldiers in nearly every county of the State, met in Conven tion at Pittsburg on Tuesday, Juno 5th. About five hundred delegates answered! to the roll, when the assemblage was call ed to order by Gen. Hartranft. Major General jNcglcjr, of Alleghany, was chosen temporary chairman. Committees on or ganization and credentials were appointed, the chairman of the former being Ser geant Gifford, a onc-armcd soldier from rom Philadelphia. A committee of hirty-threc. with General Fisher of Lan caster as chairman, was also appointed. Ihc committee on permanent organiza tion reported lor permanent officers Gen. T-i m r i oubuuii j.. ywen, as cnarirman ; anu a mong the vice presidents were Col. Win. B. Thomas, Capt. Henry Conner, Capfc. W. Hopkins, Col. Gideon Clarke, General Collis, Philadelphia, and Barnes of Al leghany. Gen. Owen, on taking the chair, made a stirring speech, calling upon his hearers to remember their plighted faith to the cause of Union and liberty. He referred to the career" of General Gearv, as one that had been true to the demands of pa triotism, and thus endeared by his deeds and words to the true men of the State. Col. Kent)', of Blair, made an eloquent speech. The late struggle had proven the people able to govern themselves, and rivited in the hearts of the people the principle of republicanism. He referred to the name "Boj's in Blue," a name which will make traitors everywhere shud der. He believed that on resurrection guaran tees have been obtained, and that ac cordingly Congress, to which rightfully pertain all questions of reconstruction, is to bo cordially sustained in their demand for such guarantees AKREST OF AtDESPERADO.; He is Pursued from Hew-York to the Oil Regions of Pennsylvania Sets Fire to a Jail.

He said if we had an American tribune,, he should also have a pretoriau guard ; and if trea son was to be made odious, it should not be by rewarding traitors. He alluded to General Geary's military services, a man who had never fliched, aud to the con servatism which had cost'us so many val uable lives on the Chickahominy. General Brisbin, of the regular army, addressed the convention, lie was rlad that the Pennsylvania soldiers had taken the steps to organize to protect the liber lies of the country, and that the will op pose all who are not for country. The men who carried the flag are the proper protectors of the country, and when they cast their ballots unitedly, the result will be a foregone conclusion. General Negley addressed the conven tion briefly but eloquently, and said he was always ready to answer the call of the country. Captain Norris, of Philadelphia, spoke, and thanked Alleghany for the reception of the Philadelphia delegates, and com plimented her ou her long Union majori ties. This convention was to demaud jus tice for the soldiers, and that the hero of Lookout Mountain should be our uext Governor. The voice comes from every soldier's grave, "Be faithful." General Fisher, from "the committee, reported the following resolutions, which I were uuanimously adopted amid great! cheers : j Whereas, We, the representatives of the soldiers aud sailors of Pennsylvania assembled in convention, in obedience to a call recognized and formally acted upon time of trial, pledge to' him our hearty support, and ask the same for him from all those who acknowledge the debt of gratitiuie due from the country to its sa viors. Tenth. That the soldiers of Pennsy lvania recognize no warmer or truer friend than Governor Andrew Gregg Curtain. His name is our watchword ; his fame our hope, and his merit our glory. The un swerving love of the soldier's friend will be reciprocated by their unfaltering devo tion. Eleventh. That we appeal hopefully to Congress lor a speedy decision on the question of equalization of bounties to soldiers. Twelfth. That believing treason is a crime, and that traitors should be punish ed, we demaud that the leading traitors should be convicted aud executed as au ex- ; ample to traitors for all time to come. Thirteenth. That this convention is able to express its sentiments upon the whole matter of the issues and candidates in a few words, which may answer for our banner inscriptions the coming campaign. God grant Geary- victorious ! Fourteenth. That the legislation whereby Congress attempted to defend and protect our allies, the loyal men of the Sonth, against the deadly hatred of the common enemies, to make good for a race freedom proffered as the price of aid a-nd awarded as the due of loyalty, de serves our unqualified approval. Fifteenth. That we require Congress so to legislate as to protect American in dustry by a high protective tariff. Col. Baync, of Alleghany, offered a resolution as follows : Resolved. That the loyal majority in Congress' deserves our -gratitude ; that radical vice3 require radical remedies ; and that the natiou should take no step back Chief and Officer Bouse having srontpd their prey, set a trap to catch him. It was ascertained that he was keeping com pany with his brother, Scott Fundy, wha lives near the foot of the Spring Creek road, in this city, and ha3 been engaged in hauling oil from Church Run for Mr. J. H. Bunting. The officers, Witherop and llouser lining tnat Peter was as swift as a deer. ward in her march to the grand destiny that surely awaits the unfaltering and per sisting adherence to the cause of equal freedom. A delegate from Berks, who is secre tary of a Democratic Club in Heading, arose to speak, when Gen. Collis asked him if he intended to conform to the pro ceedings of the convention, or vote for Clymcr. After som said for "Clymcr." G presence of such a delegate was an insult to himself and his comrades. Captain G Turner, of Philadelphia, moved that two onclegged soldiers be ap pointed to secort him out, and offered to .1 tiil1 1 1 1 UU UUU Ul LU'J LUIS UO XI LJ lUUlUUllVU (I I J throughout the Commonwealth, having in ' . .

The rascal was fairly cornered, and before he could start or fly Witherop had drawn a bead on his man and collared' him. He was brought to the city and committed to ilie lockup. A search re vealed that he had a new money-belt con taining $200 on his person-. He was promptly recognized by the Sheriff, but pretended not to know him, and claimed that his name was Ford. His brother told the same story, but Scott did not conceal the fact that he was acquainted with the Sheriff. Fundy was not confined in a cell, as it was thought he might "dig out," but was left in the hall, and the door was securely locked upon him. There was another nrisoner bv the name of Felton in the same apart ment, who jeports that Scott furnished 1 etcr with matches, though nothi nrr was said about their use at the timo. Ahmth three o'clock Peter said he was goin"- to- set fire to the builing, that the police wuniu inen get them out, and that in the confusion he would escape, and threaten ed Felton with vengeance if he made any He then proceeded to cut a hole four inches wide in the ceiling, and filled it with shavings found by the stove in the hall, and set them on fire. Some two hours elapsed before the fire burned through the plank, the joists and flooring into the engine room, beneath which the prisoner's quarters are situated.
