NO OBJEC TION TO COLOR. July 17,.1863. —Two objects are apparent in this publica tion. It is evident that some pale face is ex ceedingly anxious to escape a duty which be owes to his country, by employing a "nigger" to do the work. By this, it would seem that the "nigger" is not so bad after all, particu larly if he pass as a substitute, and frpin .the imprint of the bill in question, we are left to Infer that even a copperhead Democrat can be taught to regard a "nigger" with favor, pro vided any of the race are willing to risk their maks to save the miserable lives of the tyrants north or south who have made use of all their social and political privilege to tread the colored man down deeper and deeper into eternal degradation. The other object which seems to strike us, is the lurking, insinuating purpose of the advertiser, whoever he may be, to arouses. bitter prejudice on the subject of the draft. We have no faith in anything that emanates from the Tory Organ or the establishment in which it is printed, and therefore we look suspiciously on this adver tisement. If the friends of that establishment could get up a riot, by which the streets of Harrisburg would b 3 made to run with human blood, as were those in New York, they would resort to just such covert tricks as that which lurks in a construction which can be placed on this advertisement. The spirit of copperheadism rejoices to embarrass the Goverpnient and im pede the war ; and with traitors, the end al ways justifies the means. With regard to the colored man who offers himself, in this war, as the substitute of a known, notorious copperhead, we must deal candidly and briefly. Any colored man who thus offers himself, will deserve to be degraded still further in, the social mire and mud of this age of his oppression. The copperhead looks . upon the colored man as a beast of 'burden— as a thing to be aught and sold—and as only fit for service in the army when said colored man can . eo as the substitute of a coward, a dough-face or a secret traitor'. Under no cir circumstances, we trust, will any of the.colOred' men of Harrisburg go as the substitutes of their contemners and worOd-be oppressors. If. the colored man loves his country—if he is really anxious to benefit . himself and.ernancipate - his race from i the terrible thrall in which it is held, let him strike for freedom' under the sitars and, stripes as a volunteer, unbought by the gold of any tyrannical coward, such as is re re :en copper ea s au 1221 liouteuractiEiP3 - i the country. —Since the above was written, we learn that the Assistant Provost" Marshal General.of PennsylVania has dedded that a neyro:is no mili tary equtzwksf for a tohtte man. This settles that question, but will it affect the "no objection to color" of the anxious seekers after substitutes in the advertisernent' we have quoted? • The Fall of Charleston. The heart of tremlin has at 'length been reached, and in the fall of Charleston,,silich we-aii - V. t ilue•to-arty, we can see the end_of the rebellion. As the locality in which the , hell born heresy of secession was nur tured,the city of Charleston will always be counled_With an in ferny only excelled by that which 'Babylon en joyed when it wasabhorred by r paan and despised by God. South Carolina has been the only Joni spot on the fair escutcheon of the Union,from the day it becameassociated n the sisterhood,of states to the hour that it betrayed the purpose to rule or ruin the American Union. It has been the great nest in which traitors of all , grades and complexion have been hatched—and what South Carolina has been , and is to'the Union,: Charleston has also been to South Carolina.

Will Philadelphia, Like New York, At tempt Nullification The question which we use as a caption for this article, is frequ , otly asked by those who hope for an affirmative answer. No lo) al Pennsylvanian, in the first place, cancoive it necessary ti ask such a question. Davie, II Philadelphia and New York there is a vast ,lif forence, politically as well,as socially. The population of New York, we care not whether it is that which moves unseen amid the filth of its purlieus, or that -which flaunts its silks or rolls in its chariots throughout Broadway, this population has little sympathy with that noble, national feeling which not only inspires the people of Philadelphia, bat which animates the people of every city in the loyal States. New York is always for New York. There is noth ing good outside of Gotham—nothing evil in side—if we believe the press of that city. Yet after all the benefits which the Government has showered on New York, permittiog its wealth to flow at the feet of New York merchants, employing New York mechanics at extravagant prices, and giving up its credit to the keeping of New York speculators, the first organized, attempt, at nullification is made in that city ; made at a moment when it was supposed the, Government would be unprepared to meet the shock, and therefore most likely to go to cts beneath the blow thus inflicted. To many people, this condition of affairs will seem strange and unaccountable, simply be cause the great mass of men in this country have been accustomed to look upon New York city as the powerful cen treof all that's eminently American in wealth, enterprise and patriotism. But to suppose this is to, labor under a most egregious mistake. New York trade, literature, politics and amusements are all controlled by a' foreign influence which entertains' the most inveterate hatred for the, nationality. of America- For pounds, shilling and pence, two-thirds of the population of New York would- at any moment barter all that is dear to the truly pa triotic and loyal American. There is an English element in that city, which has worked itself insidiously into the control of the columns of many of its newspapers—which influences its business—which opens or closes its coffers, and which has its fingertseverat the throat ofGotham, to deprive it of its breath or tickle it to laughter, just as the mood of the hour or the mammon in volved, may dictate. Foreign capital, foreign credit, foreign instincts and objects, alone rule in New York. It is a sort of stopping place on the highway between this nation•and the people of Europe; a stopping place where all that is evil remains, because it is tempted by gain to tarry, or in its lack of means, it is unable to I push forward in,to the genial glow and warmth of the true region of the great liepUblic. —Between such cities as New York and Philadelphia there is no affinity, and therefore there can be no sympathy. Philadelphia is i tentified with the nationality of the American GovernMe4„by principle and Patriotism. Its , Progress and development are in oommon with those ; of the whole country. ..It seeks to imi tate no foreign modes or manners—it has no interests which op -7 .1a wlth those rif:this nation—no enterprises that autagordze any-. _thing which is Ameripan, and . ne 2 43urposes which can possibly interfere With its duly to the Federal Government Philadelphia is peculi arily American. It is American in business,. in credit, in ambition and in glory. It was the birth place of 'the nation and it will be its sepulchre, if lasting devotion to its welfare and glory, if determined' adherence to its fate for good or evil, can make it such. Philadelphia, therefore, will not imitate New York. Be tircen.the two : cities there is as much differenee, so far-as Americanism io concerned, as there is between Philadelphia and Liverpool, Philadel-, Thia and ConStantirteple, or Philadelphia and any of the priest-ridilen, tyrant oppressed cities of the old world. Philadelphia is for .A.Mer.:, . New York IS t forNewTork—for the money she can preqfoue of the misery of the nation— for the profits she can gather from the 116.Ceg- I shies of-the people-for the position she can achieve by speculating on-'=the material out of which the Undergarments of children are manufacturel. Let us have no comparisons, then, between Philadelphia and New York, 7 - The refinement, patriotism, sterling manhood and ,Ctirlatian position of the' crne, are enhanced and ennobled, as the brutality ; treason, sensed nation and arson of the other-startle the world and for :the moment - make civilization and hunianity hold their breath.

Terme ss ee Wheeling info the Line of the Erman. Corresponelence of the Telegraph] HOOVER'S Ger, TENN. , June 28, 1863. We left Murfreesboro on the 24th, with three corps, on the Shelbyville pike. After six miles marching we took a dirt road and moved to ward Wartrace, Tennessee. At 2 p. at. we met the enemy and drove them back. We here entered a very rough and hilly country, mountains on every side. We charged up their sides, driving the rebels at the point of the bayonet, and bivouacked for the first night 12 miles from Murfreesboro. In the early morn ' ing we started again for the nest hill. The enemy would kW back from one high hill to another, and fight. desperately, but 'twee no use. It rained constantly and the mud was simply horrible. Oa the 25th, with the 79th Illinois, were ordered forward, and with slight loss gained a position within 200 rods of one of the worst looking young mountains to scale I have ever seen. The bullets, shell and grape flew like bail en every side, ,but we hugged the ground and kept our position. At last the or der-came to cross a large cornfield. open, with out any protection, nearly half amile in width, and take the hill, with the promise of support. We started, mud a foot deep, through a tern ble fire from a brigade of Arkaneasans on the mountain and three batteries. It was a terrible march, but on we went, men dropping on every side of me. The color bearer fell—it was caught up and carded forward. Batteries played on us at every step. Shell were con tinually bursting over our heads, or "plunging into the mud, but on we went, and in forty minutes had fought - the battle of Liberty Gap, 'and driven from the bill a whole brigade of the rebs ; but forty of our little: band lay mangled land groaning on the path over which we charg ed. It was far worse and severer than any thing at the famoirs battle of Stone River, and the 79th stands high, Winning great praise, though at a fearful sacrifice of life. I wonder at my own escape, withoutea scratch, evhile death was an crowding about Me. All fear was gone, atid we cared only for victory. It was a grand old shout that went up from the surviv ors as the robs took to'their heels and left us in possession of the bill. The; night of the 25th we were on picket— no sleep for us—raining hard all night, but before morning dawned the "enemy! were away, satisfied with their, taste of Illinois and Penn trYlvania bravery. Outof the 18 men whom I took into the fight I' lost seven killed and . wounded. After a day's rest, to.dake cars of our dead and wounded, and on the morning of the 27th we started for the pike, and were moving on our way to Dixie, the whole army in fine spirits, driving the enemy at every point. I have unbounded confidence in our success, and Gen. Ratecrans -wins the highest regatd as a good and skillful General. Ido not believe the army of the Cumberland can be whipped. 'We are moving forward in grand style. The rain still falls, the roads are the worst I ever saw, but on we go, soaked by the drenching torrents, only anxious to close up this war. lam sitting in an ambulance writing this with pencil, as you see, while troops are passing on to hike the advance, which we have had since we left Murfreesboro. It is 1 o'clock, P. M , and we have been waiting since three A. w. for them to get by, but still they come.

Since then wo hriteen on the chase after the cowardlyrebs bet have not yet found them. When I look back over the scenes of the past few days, I can Vily.wonder at the endurance of men.. No army ever encountered a combination of obsta cles so discouraging. It rained constantly, for , oven dem and the mud became so deep that we could ecarecily get our artillery through Thortsetads of sokliera worked all night in the entiellaud rain, covered with dirt, dripping to the skin, tired, weary, with sore feet and half rations, for it was impossible for our supplies to get up at all. These things were done for night after night. For three nights we had „lasted an hour and of sleep t two of them we marched until! three in the neutenee, darted on our way at lour. That one nour is remembered as a great blessing. Everything, was discouraging and it seemed as if Providence was *against us, but still the spirit of the men .was wonderful. During the whole, time I heard not one word of complaint. All seemed bent only on one thing--whipping the enemy ; and the harder the work tne more cheerful seemed the workers ; and every time we met the enemy they were whipped, our. men going in with a hurrah, taking butteries, gape in moun tains, prieonere, everything that attempted to bar our pftress. At 3A. at., of the 29th, we' reached fdanchester, without meeting-the "but ternuts," and Wene soon on our way for this noted' place, 'where-we expected and hoped to.

The we4ther is fmiroving,,atid you may expect tb /hear soon of our arrival at Chattanooga. ' Our diV i ision at present remains here. 'We protested against it,, wishing still to be in the advance, to do the fighting and hard work, but General Itosecrads seems to think we must rest. It is; I however, no privilege to even rest in this mis erable, low and swampy country. The city of Tullahoma is about the size of some coal boat landing, and the people look too disconsolate for any. use. They are bereft of their dear -friends, the 'brave and -valorous chivalry who invited us lo meet them, but were "not at home" when we called. Roaecrans is a great 'eniiosity in this , cenntry.

TULLATIOMA, July 9.—This mottling all are rejoicing and full of gladness. We have just heard the news. Vicksburg is ours, and the Army of the Potomac has gained signal victories over Lee and his hosts. Tee skies are bright. God grant us more victories and a speedy peace. With such a cause as ours success is certain in ,the end, though we wait long for it, and some times think all is dark and gloomy, and though we walk through many sorrows and mourn over many brave fallen heroes. The feeling of our' Southern neighbors is all gloom, though the poor deluded wretches dream of victories for their arms in the face of failure and defeat. How Ido the miserable, cowardly copperheads feel? Row do they—lost to all shame—dead to any love of country—who cast aside the memories of revolutionary sires, and would tamely bend the knee to traitors, and sacrifice liberty, jug- tice, humanity and religion. How do they take the news ? We hope to send them more of the same kind for their comfort. To do this we are chasing Bragg and his army through the mud, marching night and day, harnessing our selves to our supply and artillery trains to get them out of the mire, and living for a week at a time on half rations. Hope they will be grateful to Roeecrans and the Army of the Cum berland for any bits of news we may send them. On the principle of the homeopath,' "similia similibus curaniur, or in more homely phrase— a hair of the dog that bit you" it may cheer them to be told that we have driven, &moral ' ?zed and scattered in all directiens the famous 'army of Capt. Bragg. "A little more grape" will not help him. The mountains around are full of deserters. Tennessee is wheeling into line. The remnant of the old 77th are trying to do their duty and help on the good cause. Yours truly, W. A. R. gattst ttlegrapt The Attack on Charleston —.— The Preparations for the Grand Final Result.

The correspondent of the Boston Herald gives the following account of the second days fight ing on Morris Island: • On the morning of the 11th of July; the 6tb Connecticut and 9th Maize made a furious at tack upon the Cumming's Point battery. They got possession of it and hoisted the Ametican flag at daylight Fort Suorit..! when a rennsyivania"regiment cowardly deserted them ; refusing to stand by their comrades. MThe other regiments held the battery until they were badly cut up. They.then abandoned it and the rebels again took poseession. These two regiments have shown themselves the heroes of the campaign. At 10 o'clock, A.. 11., the monitors proceeded to attack the Cummings Point battery, and at 12 o'clock three wooden gunboats opened on the battery, at long range, end threw their 200 pound sbote_directly into the woiks.
