We have ordered an elegant new dress for the "Messenger," and expect to make it one of the neatest papers in Western Pennsylvania, if not one of the best. To effect this improvement will involve A LARGE CASH OUTLAY, however, and we have no way to meet it but by calling on our friends and subscribers to COME TO OUR HELP. There is a very large AMOUNT due on subscription to the paper and on Job Work and Advertising for the past two years, and we ziagt Lava' n to effect our pro. posed improvements and PAY nun DEETS. We appeal to crrry fri:nd of Ike 'diger!, WITH OUT A SINGLE EticEPTIoN, !O lend us a little substantial assistance in this emergency. If you cannot pay us all you owe us, come or send us at least a PART. Give us one Vugar, TWO DOLIAIIS, IMLLARS, FIVE Douxis. or a 3 much as you can Span. Show that you are willing to do something to stls,•tain and improve this old and tried Democratic journal. Make no excuse about "hard times, " "tho war, " &c., &c., but CO:1E RIGHT UP TO OUR HELP. Or, if you cannot come, (though we would like very much to see and talk with all of you,) se r:L: it hy your neigirnor ur by mail. We will get tho money if you start it, depend on it, and we will use it toe, for your ad , vantage. Don ' t let any of our patrons who owe us a dollar think this is not in. , tended for hire, for ir is,—we want every one of them to lend us his aid. We will publish a Roll of Honor every month, so that cur friends can see who are HELPING lA. Let every patron enroll his name. tf. GEN. LAZEAR AND Ills POSITION A late number of the "Pittsburgh Ga zette," which wo do no violence to truth is characterising as an ultra Abolition sheet, contains an attack on our Congres sional Representative, Gen. LAZEAR, which, for unfairness, is rarely excelled even in its own sadly degenerate columns. Forget, ting and discarding, as it has done recent ly, all its ancient dignity and candor, and the chaste and vigorous argumentation it was wont to employ in its better days, the "Gazette" is hecoming rapidly a mere ve hicle of misrepresentation and intemperate denunciation of the opponents of its pe culiar, indeed very peculiar, doctrines and policy. So anr.ious is it to array the Dem ocratic party, no/ens volens, in Pennsylva nia and elsewhere, against the war and the Government, that it seizes upon a single pacific and well-meant suggestion of a dis tinguished Democrat as symptomatic of treason and sympathy with rebellion. Nor will it tolerate the slightest faultfinding with any isolated act of the Administration or the immaculate Republican party. li;v erything done or proposed by the "powers that be" is just the thing, and must be gulps ed down, like a sugar-coated pill, without grunt or grimace. As in Gen. Liq,EAR'S case, it gees beyond the acts of men to im pugn their motives, and questions any pa triotism that lives on other than Republican 51imeni, or finds a home, at this enlighten. ed day, i n any other organization than that work/ party which nourishes a Lovejoy, a Giddings, and a Greeley, and which fur nishes such exemplars of official propriety And integrity as Andrew G. Curtin and Simon Cameron Such is the "Gazette," and such the charity,and justice, and liberal ity of the fanatical junto who preside over its columns. Their sheet recalls the intol erant Jacobinisra of Camille Desmoulins, the incendiary of the French Revolution, every line of whose journal smacked of persecution, of blood," or called for victims. "Traitor" and "rebel sympa thizer" are the bug-bear phrases it em ploys daily, applying them as well to men whose devotion to their country has never betere been questioned as to public journa/rthat deplore the present unhappy war, or who propose or favor any measures looking. lowoder remotely, to any other set _ of our national troubles than that I whteit commends itself to the Gcrite's ap- 1 for the discharge of its whole duty to the proval. This thing nt bar. country The past history of the Republic the inauguration of measnr-; by Cling': s, , is a proud record of the devotion of the with a view to the ni.t.;,fial,: party in the council chamber and on the o]r sectional diffmultien has boot, with the h a i t h-,,fi,1,1 to the "Constitution and the "Gazette," the "butt! end front .. et Gen. LAZEAR'S and subjected him, at its hands, to the i:nputation of sympathizing with the rebellion. Those who know the General as his neighbors do here at home, and who have heard his pub lic and private declarations in f.iv-ic maintaining the authority of the Govern ment and perpetuating the Union of the States at any c.rpcmc or at any I(terific, will be astonished to learn that the accom plished jugglers of the "Gazette" have succeeded in transforming him into a rebel spmpathizer. "I!ow was it done?" is the curious inquiry of the reader, and we will try to tell him. In a letter to the "Messenger" under date of Washington City, July 4th, after distinctly expressing the conviction that it was the "duty of Congress to sustain freely the administra tion in its just and loyal efforts to resist and crush out the rebellion," and after dis avowing any wish, "much as he desired peace," to "offer any compromise to the rebels against the country," believing "they deserved the severest penalties of the law," Gen. LAZEAR suggests the proprie ty of the present Congress taking the initiative in measures which guarantee to the South what he believes to be their con stitutional right--that "of occupying the Territories on equal terms with the North." This he thinks due to the loyal States of Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and Mis souri, as well as to the loyal people of the seceded States, and would, in his opinion, leave the rebels without pretest or apolo— gy for resisting the Government et seeking a dissolution of the Union. This, in a nutshell, is the substance of the General's suggestion on this subject, which he follow ed by a series of Consistent votes in sup port of the war policy of the administra tion. Yet for thie single intimation of a wish to see our dissensions healed and our differences adjusted on some equable basis and by some necessary concessions, his very fidelity to the Government is ques tioned by the Daniels of the "Gazette l" How reasonable the inference and how just the judgment, we leave the intelligence of the reader to determine. Gen. LAZEAR, we happen to know, is no stickler for any particular mode of set tling our difficulties. The "Crittenden Compromise," however, has his prefer. once, as being less likely to lead to mis. chievious and violent controversies on the subject of slavery where Territories are left open to either slave or free institu tions. There is much plausibility in the suggestion, and it will have its weight when this vexations matter is finally dis posed of, as it will be when the PEophs as sert their prerogative and ignore fanatical and dangerous politicians, with their dog mas and heresies. We dismiss this subject with one other remark, and that is, that those who know Cen. LAZEAR will attribute tho suggestion in his Washington letter to an exalted pa. triotism and the promptings of a christian phillnthropy that would prevent, if it could, the further effusion of the blood of his countrymen. In regard to the Gazette's declaration that the De/ream:tic papers of this Congression al District "sympathize with the rebellion," we have anly to say that, as applied to the ..ifeNs , 2ngcr, the charge is utterly and stupid ly false. Our sympathies are all with the Government, and we have uniformly en-. couraged and sustained every effort put forth for its preservation and for the vin dication of its authority. la our view, there is no corn pining the value of this Union and this G,rernalcrd, and there is nu individual sac rifice wo would net cheerfully make to perpetuate them. God save the country and the "miserable offenders" of the "Ga zette !" (Brother Roney, of the "Genius," will please load in prayer for these latter gentlemen.) ' NO trxioN wurti ItEPUZILICANS ' BUT IN DEFENCE OF TO.C. CON ! STITITTION AND '['Hu UNION. We are glad to see that the effort made in New York and Ohio and other Northern States to merge the good old, tried and trusty Democratic party into tho Republi can organization has everywhere failed, signally and decidedly. This is just as it should be, and is a healthy and hopeful in dication. It affords gratifying evidence of the fact, that the Democracy realize the re sponsibilities that are upon them, and the august character of the duties trul,:to them. if the Gove.rnmeut is preserved and the Union perpetuated, if the country is ever restored to its wonted harmony and pros perity, we religiously believe it will be the work of the National Democracy. No sec tional party, no party of narrow views and narrow policy, North or South, can ever adjust our difficulties or prove pacificatory of our troubles. That is to be the appropri ate work of men whose patriotism is as broad as the utmost circumference of the Union, and not of those whose patriotism is limited to sections or confined by State lines, or who hold to the absurdity that there is or ought to be any real antagonism of interests between the different portions of this confederacy. This refusal to coalesce with our politi cal opponents shows, too, on the part of the Democracy, a fidelity to principle and an indifference to pluuder and the "fat things" of office that commends itself to the appro— val of every honest conscience. What are the honors and emoluments of station compared to settled principle or the de— mands of patriotic duty! Asolutely noth• ing I and the man or party who sacrifices conviction to expediency, who surrenders truth fur a paltry dignity or a few paltry dollars, is utterly destitute of the moral courage that, above all other great qualities, fits individuals and organizations for high missions and distinguished usefulness. Beside all this, there is nothing in the creed and practice, not an article in the faith of the Democratic party, that disqual -1 ifies it in this emergency, or at any time, union." Our foes have felt the weight of lip m ocratic st-cl is every struggle they have provoked, by their arrogance and In justice, since the war of the Revolution.— Nt,r do Democrats falter now when inter nal enemies threaten the dismemberment of the country. Though they had no lot or part in the inauguration of this war, and cannot but deplore the fratricidal struggle, tiny are still, with stout arms and bravo hearts '•carrying the flag and keeping step to the music of the Union." Who, bat contemptible drivellers and libellers would charge a party like this with any lack cf patriotism or with any sympathy with trea son LE1111212 FROM COT ::HOMAS RING- L 4 Wliat an Old Man think* of the War and the state of the Country. Our readers, without distinction of par ty, will be much interested in the sub joined letter from Col. Thomas UJNGLAND, formerly of Washington county, but for several years past a citizen of Illinois.— The Colonel, at one time, represented Washington county in the House of Rep resentatives, and subsequently Washing. ton and Greene in the Senate of this State, and was Speaker of the latter body. He was also, about the same time, generally and, -favorably spoken of as the Democratic candidate :tor Governor of the Common wealth. He was universally esteemed, while among us, as a gentleman of exalt ed patriotism and integrity, as well as in telligence. Having the entire confidence of all his acquaintances and having attested his love of country by active service is the field in the war of 1512, Col. Ringland's opinions and counsel will have great weight with a large number of our readers. For ourselves, however, we must be al lowed to say that we publish the letter, not because we endorse all the views it embodies, but because we have been taught from our boyhoed to esteem the venerable author (whose head is now frost ed by the snows of eighty winters) asa man of great worth and sagacity, and devotedly attached to the institutions of the country, and as a Democrat in whom there is no guile. But to the letter, which is address ed to the Colonel's old friend, Maj. Ma guire:— GRANDVIEW, ILL., July I.2th, 1861 Illy Dear Major .---Your favor of the 19th came duly to hand, and I would' have an swered It sooner, but I find my hand so unsteady that I cannot write with a steel pen; and could get no other for some time, and you will see that I do badly enough now. Well, we have reason to be thankful to a kind ikovidence for good health, and the family generally have had good health since we came here. We are now in the midst of our harvest, and have bountiful crops of every kind except apples, and they are scarce ; and while Heaven is bounti• fully providing for all our wants, we have, by our sins, brought our country into a most deplorable condition. The whole country iS now in deadly strife,—brother against brother, and in many cases the father against the son ; and when we look into the cause of all this bloody strife, we can find do higher motive than a lust of power and wealth. It is not fair for us to charge all the blame of this unnatural and unjustifiable war upon the South. They have, indeed, by their violence, brought ruin on themselves and on all the country; but it has not been without provocation on the part of the North, in interfering with the constitutional rights of the South.— Both the North and the South have suffer— ed themselves to be led by political dem agogues, whose whole aim was rule or ruin; and I now see no prospect of anything but ruin fir the whole country ; and if only the instigators of the war were to sutler, it would be the loss matter; but the innocent must suffer with the guilty. Tne present generation have a vast responsibility to meet. We have had bequeathed to us a prosperous and happy country, and we are about to entail on posterity the curse of an immense national debt, without taking into account the great and incalculable amount of suffering which such a war will inflict. Perhaps from your knowledge of my military propensities, you might be led to set me down as going for war to the knife; but I am a man of peace, and can see no good likely to result from such a war. lem as sorry as any man living to see our happy Union destroyed, but it is destroyed, and in my opinion without the hope of a reconstruction, and fighting can never restore it. We may chastise and afflict the South, but it will cost a tearlul amount of blood and treasure to do it, and then we will be no nearer peace than we are now, and perhaps not so near as we might be at present. It is an old saying of nations that peace makes riches, and riches make pride, pride makes war, war makes pov erty, and poverty makes peace, and so it goes the rounds. From present appear• ances, it seems that all parties are for war, North and South, and perhaps poverty will be its only:antidote, and it will not take long to bring that about in either section at the rate things are,now going on, when we find the President asking Congress for five hundred thousand men and four hun. dred millions of dollars, just for present use, until Congress will have their regular ses— sion. I am perhaps a little like the man who got drunk at the Fair, and when he came home reported every body "boozy" that he met ; but it does seem to me that the whole na tion is crazy. But when they begin to feel the consequences of their folly in high taxes and empty pockets, and hear the wails of the widows and orphans the war has made, it may bring them to their senses. Never was a nation, since the time of the ancient Jews, so favored by a special Providence as we have been favored ; and as that nation was punished beyond what any e r people ever suffered, for the abuse ut tause privileges and blessings, I fear that we are about to suffer something in the same way. War is a calamity under any circuni, stances, but such war as ours is doubly se. Perhaps you may begin to think I lime turned Quaker and lost my military ardor : well, t wish all men were Qua kers in this respect. But I would still be willing to support defensive war, but woe to those who are the offenders ! Perhaps, while my hand is Moron will not object to hear my opinion of some of our public men and public measures. though it is now scarcely safe for one to speak their mind in such cases. And to begin, as respects him who has been placed at the. head of the nation. At the Presi• dentist election, I voted for Mr. Douglas in preference to Mr. Lincoln. Though I did uut vote for Lincoln I resolved to judge of his acts as impartially as I could, but must acknowledge that his conduct on the way from Springfield to Washington low ered hire very much in my estimation. It might (le/wilily have been reasonably ex. petted that, as he was about to take the reins of government in his hands, when the country was in such grave and solemn circumstances, that he would have main. mined something of a dignity answerable to the occasion. But in place of this, we find him going from town to town , and even out of his way, with as much parade as it ho was returning from a victory, making silly speeckes to arouse the mul• titudes, wha are always ready to worship the rising sun. He laid aside this kind of parade, however, in going from Harris burg to Washington in disguise. I have no doubt Congress will do all that the President asks of them; and as there is no party to watch or control them, it is to be feared they will go into extreme meas ures. It is to be regretted that the lead ers of the Democratic party should go over, as it were in a body, to the support of Lincoln in all his extreme measures, for even if our own party had the Govern ment in their own hands, I would always think it safest to have another party to watch them and keep them straight, for there is no perfection under the sun.— 'phis is just what we intend to do. father Ringnd, with this Republican .ildministra tion--watch them and try to keep them straight.—Eng. llEssr.nona.l The only way I can see of rg.storing• rho Union, would be to deal with the South as leniently as possible till the Union party in the South can get the upper hand and expel their present leaders. But I have no hope that such a policy will be adopted by the present Administration. You will probably be tired of this long and mixed-up political sermon, and may not consider the doctrine all orthodox.— But you must allow the the privilege of an old man, and you know enough of me to believe that I feel deeply for the ruin of my country—for ruin it is. Times 'are extremely dull here now.— Wheat, that sold at a dollar in the Fall, is now bringing but twenty-live cents, and corn ten cents a bushel. The trade on the Mississippi being stopped, we are begin ning to feel the effects of war; yet this is but the beginning of hard times. I remain sincerely your friend, THOS. RINGLAND. Ramotous.—Quite an interesting relig ious meeting has been in progress some days at Sayers' School House, two miles East of Waynesburg. The meeting in un der the control of Rev. Hr. Tilton of the Baptist Church, who, we are glad to learn, is meeting with great success in his labors. Eleven converts were bap'ized yesterday Aug. 26th,) and the interest of Ow ucca ion is growing, rather than diminishing. PUBLIC MEETING The Citizens of the Borough and vicin ity, assembled at the Court House on the evening of the 21st inst., by a call for a Union Meeting in which it was stated that an Address would be delivered by Gen. HOWELL, who was visiting our county, with a view to raising a Regiment tor service in the present war. On motion of J. A. J. BucastiAN Esq., W. T. E. Wzae Esq. was called to the chair, assisted by ROBERT ADAMS and DAN IEL HOOK ERTL, as Vice Presidents, JOHN PHELAN and W. Eiitt.v were appointed Secretaries. JAM Es I.4xDstY Esq. stated the object of the meeting, and the presence of Gen. HOWELL, whom he introduced to the meet ing. Gen. Howsu then came forward and addressed the meeting in a strain of patri otic eloquence which frequently elicited its applause. He stated among other things, that, as a Democrat he had opposed the election of President Lincoln, but that he having been elected fairly and in ac cordance with the laws of the land, he was entitled to the support of the people of all praties—that in the present perilous coudi- Lion of the country, and in reference to the war, he was disposed to forget mere part izan teeling,s—that the question was not now what Arty was right, or what party was wrong ; but that paramount to all were the question whether the Union shall be held together, the Government maintain ed and the Stars and Stripes remain the protecting aegis of the American citizen, wherever he shall be, When this shall have been settled, and when it shall have been dernonstiated that we have a Union, a Government and a Flag, then it will be time to settle merely partizat, questions.— That while Rebeliiougie rampant, our Flag desecrated, the public property appropria ted to the use of the enemies of the Union and while every principle otconstitutionat law is rudely trampled on by the Rebels, it is no tithe to haggle on the question as to whether the P,esident iu his efforts to protect them, had overstepped the strict boundaries of constitutional duty—the Gov ernment which our fathers erected should be maintained and the President, in his ef forts to uphold it, should receive the sup port and sympathy of the people, and the aid ut their money and their personal exer tions. He closed by stating that he had been empowered by the Secretary of War, to raise a Regiment fur the present war, and hoped to have the honor of leading some of the patriotic men ot Greene County in support ot the glorious "Srars and Stripes." The 110 n. ANDREW STawaitr, who was Present, was called upon to address the meeting, but excused ininselt in a tow ap propriate remarks. J. A. J. BUCHANAN, Esq., was then call ed upon, but excused himself on the ground of indisposition caused by recent efforts in making speeches in the open air. Mr. Jonx BuenAxAty then addressed the meeting in a short speech, replete with fer vid eloquence, .which frequently received the approbatory cheers of the meeting. Professor MILLER, in reply to a call of the meeting, made a short and patriotic ad , dress, in which he took oceAsion to ex press his approbation of the exertions of the Administration to put down this unnatural rebellion. Gen. LAZICAR was then called upon, but apologized for not making a speech, in consequence of the lateness of the hoar; but took occasion to distinctly and fully endorse the sentiments of Gen. How ELL, in regard to the objects of the war, and the duty of the citizens to support it; and ex pressed the hope that some of the patriotic young men of Greene County would rally around the "Stars and Stripes" under the lead of Gen. HOWELL. JAMES Looser, Esq., then after a brief but appropriate address, moved the ad journment of the meeting, and the publica tion of its proceedings. . 4 J. F. TEMPLE, Esq. informed the meeting that he had just been informed that Capt. GoarioN, with his "Parsley Guards," was approaching the town, and moved that a procession be formed toescort them, which was donellimediately alter the adjourn ment of the meeting. W. 'l'. E.

NEW YORK, April 4th, 1861. MR. Isms WrLook—Dear Sir : I have now bad in use one of your Machines for six months, and ant ready to thank you for introducing them to the public, and fur nishing them so reasonably to Missiona% ries. Having used one of the best double thread Machine in the market, we speak intelligently when we say—that tor sym plicity, ease, and precision of work, yours is unrivalled. It is the only machine whose working is so suro and simple that I should venture to introduce it in Syria—among a people who have only a modicum of mechanical skill. I am quite sure I shall be able to bring it into use to some extent in that country. We are particularly pleased with the beauty of the work done by the hemmers. We would prefer the Wilcox & Gibbs Ma chine to any other, at whatever price. Hoping to have occasion to send for one or n.c - iro, soon after our arrival in Syria, remain, yours truly, AN DREW T.

Preservation of the Hair Some attention paid to this item of pro'. priety would avoid much et the Baldness so prevalent in this country. Dr. Bell ingham, of London, has immortalized his name as the inventor of a "S'imulating Onguent," which could be as appropriate in preventing as curing baldness.
