EXTENSION OP TIME FOR BOLDING
THE UNION STATE CONVENTION.
2b the Editors of the Telegraph.:
PHILADELPHIA., Jube 24. 1868.
At a meeting of the Union State Central Com
mittee, held in this city to day, it was resolved
to' extend the time for holding the Union State
Convention at Pittsburg, from July let to
August 6th.
The following is the resolution adopted, pro
viding for this extension:
Revived, That in the present emergency,
while many delegates to the Union State Con
ventlon are engag- d in the military service, and
cannot be present at the meeting appointed to
be held at PAtsbvirg (U 1 the let of July next, it
is dee eied expedient to postpone the Convention
unlit Wednesday, the bth day of August next.
at 11 o'clock, A. M., and it is hereby postponed
until that time.
Editors of the different Union newspapers
throughout the Commonwealth, will please give
this notice an insertion in th-ir columns.

A National Cemetery.
By a card which we print in another column,
it will be seen that a proposition is made to
gather the bodies of those who fell fighting for
liberty and law on the bloody field of Gettys
burg, and deposits them in the Cemetery
grounds of that locality, and then erect a mon
ument over their remains, es a fitting testimo
nial to their valor. In order to secure the
success of this noble work, it is suggested that
the people of the States to which the heroes
who are buried at Gettysburg, belong, contri
bute te defray the expense of the enterprise,
and that Pennsylvania take the lead to secure
its success. The advertisement in another col
umn fully sets forth the whole matter, and we
therefore refer the reader to it for information.
—We heartily commend this enterprise to
the consideration of the patriotic people of the
Union. The men who fell at Gettysburg will
need no monument to commemorate their
valor. Like the Spartans who fought at Ther
mopylte, those who struggled at Gettysburg in
the cause of liberty, will be remembered while
liberty has a friend on earth. But we owe it to
future generations that we in some way prove
our gratitude to the dead, and show that these
who survived to reap the reward of the victory
at Gettysburg, were not unmindful of what was
due to their brethren and fellow-citizens who fell
in that fight. While this object is invested with
its present interest, we trust, at least, that the
conductors of the press of Pennsylvania will give
it their hearty support, and that the people will
not rest satisfied until all who fell at Gettys
burg, and whose bones are still scattered over
and bleaching on that vast battle field, are
gathered within one enclosure, over which shall
rise a monument as proud as their deeds to com
memorate their valor and to point as a signal
to the blessed abode of the heroea in Heaven.
An Empty Boast.
The Torg Organ this morning boasts that
Judge Woodward has two sons in the army,
and on this fact claims that the Judge is enti
tled to great credit. In the same connection
the 7bry Organ omitted to state that the valliant
sons of this loyally cold and impassively patriotic
father, have long since been removed from his
influence and association, which, of course, ac
counts for their beiog in the army, fighting
against the slave driving traitors of the sots.
Both the Woodwards, sons of the copperhead
candidate for „Governor of Pennsy , yards, who
are now in the army, live in different and
widely separated western States, where loyalty
and patriotic devotion to the Government are
esteemed Christian, irtues and manly accm
plishments.
—We venture the assertion that, bad there
Woodwards lived in the same atmosphere
breathed by their father, they would be as in
tensely sympathetic for the interests of the
slave owner as is the father, and that, had they
followed his teachings, they would now be
giving where treason and not truth and reason
lead. So much for what is due to Judge Wood
ward,,
on account of his sons being in the Na
tional army of the. Union,
THE Burr or THE PHASE yr aoult.—This is the
title of an eloquent lecture which C. C. Bur
leigh has been announced to deliver before the
University at Lewisburg, this evening. The
occasion is to be celebrated in honor of the
return of the students of that institute from the
service as volunteers in the army. From the
high character of Mx. Burleigh as an orator
and a scholar, we have no doubt of the deep
impression he will make on the minds of the
students at that ancient abode of learning.
He is certainly among the ablest men in the
land—learned, pure, patriotic and earnest in all
he does and says.
—Since the above was written, we learn that
efforts are being made to secure the presence of
- -Mr. Barl&gh in this city to morrow evening for
the purpose of repeating his lecture on ".The
Duty of the Present Hour." Shonl I those efforts
succeed, we promise our citizens one
,of the
greatest intellectual treats that has been afford
ed them for many years. Tire place of dolly
ering the lecture, should the arrangetnents
be made, will be announced in our morning
edition.
Tn LOYAL Max of Pennsylvania who are
shortly to assemble at Pittsburg, for the pur
pose of selecting a cmdidate for Governor,
must remember that the first great object to be
achieved is the harmonizing of all diffeiences
which may exist among those who are to work
out the victory. - must make every sacri
fice which this situation may demand: We
must give up the mere preference fora man to
secure the majestic success of measures. We
Must provide - first and surely for the safety of the
Government, fin . its support in the hour of its
trial, and thus we will be laying the founda
tions of a political 'victory incalculable in glory
and future benefit -to the State aud nation.' If
we do not do this—if we do not harmonize our
differences and concentrate all our forces, the
enemies of the Government will succeed in
electing Woodward Governor, a resultlo be
estimated as more disastrous to the cause of the look, and with a low whistle, skedaddled. But

Had the Democratic leaders treated tteason
and rebellion as facts and crimes—had thoze
who lead the miserable dupes and monopolize
the patronage of that party, been only halt true
to the cause of the country, the rebellion would
not have lasted a year. It was not required of
these men that they should enter the field and
bravely contend with traitors. No body ever
aAred or even expected that they would shed
a drop of their craven blood in defence of the
Union. It was never dre imed that the Biglers,
the Whittles, the Olymers, the Woodwards, or
any of the desperate politicians who stand shoul
der to shoulder with these demagogues would
requite their country in the hour of its danger,
with a service suctt as could be accounted loyal
or patriotic. The instincts of these men all
tend to treason. They hate the truth, because
it is their greatest scourge. They oppose reform,
because it antagonizes the wrong with which
they flourish, and hence when the friends of
slavery conspired to overthrow a free govern
ment, their allies, these very Democratic leaders,
were compelled either to act openly in support
of that rebellion, or to take a meaner course, and
serve rebellion by acts such as which brave Mar
even while engaged in wrong, would scorn to
perpetrate. Had the Democratic leaders even
taken a neutral part in the war, their record
would not now be so repulsively filthy. Had
these men left the government unembarrassed
in the north—had the full power of the na
tional authority been left untrammelled to
operate against traitors in arms, the result
would undoubtediy been such as to have
reestablished the power of that Government
long since in every revolted slave State. By
such a course, rebellion would have been with
out a sympathizer ; and thus left without
friends beyond the slave marts of the South,
treason would have had a short cimpaign, and
ended its career in such di , aster and disgrace
l as to have rendered it impossible forever
hereafter to win to its support any consid
erable number of the the American people.
Any man who has closely observed and
studied events cannot fail to understand that the
secret of the prolongation of the war, is not
contained in the strength of the rebellion itself.
The actual resources of the rebels were wasted
before they were engaged in the war six
months. Then it was that they were supplied
by their friends in the North—then it was that
Democratic leaders began to give them aid and
comfort—and then, too, following the example
of the traitors in what were supposed to be the
loyal States, the haters of free government in
Europe began to cast the weight of their influ
ence against the American Government, in the
hope that man's ability for self government
would be proven a failure, and, that the right
as well as the power of an exclusive aristocracy
to rule, be established permanently and forever
on both hemispheres.
With these facts now constituting the most
important portion of the history of the rebel
lion, the Democratic leaders must of 'course take
the entire responsibility of the effects growing
out of that struggle. These men, to prove their
utter baseness and hypocrisy, not bnly defend,
but still continue to nourish the cause of the
war. We are told one day by the leadera of the
rebellion that they only fight for the supremacy
of the interests of the institution of slavery.
The next day we are graciously informed by the
Democratic leaders that these interests are all
constitutional, and therefore the southern peo
ple, whenever they deem the institution
slavery in danger, whether that danger is pro
duced by the natural and hearty progress of
civilized society, or whether it springs from the
corruption of slavery itself, it matters not; as
the South still have the right to rebel, to work
treason, to wage bloody and rebellious stir, to
secure the safety and elevate the power of the
slave-oligarchy .
—Why should the Democratic leaders not
take the responsibility of the rebellion? 'Yhere is
_ ,
no reason which can save them:l'l.6A the infamy
• -
of that respOnsibility. Th , ty have earned it
f tirly,and should therefore wear it bravely. They
have contributed to its success with all the
meats in their power, and are therefore entitled
t) all the fruit of its results. For its prolon
gation, we are indebted to Democratic specula
tors, syrnpathiEers and spies. For its horrors,
Vve are under mournful obligations to the same
men. Let them, then, receive the applause
which is made up of the groans of, the suff.:ring
—let them take to their hearts the anguish of
the orphan and the widow—and while they
live, let a nation's wrongs form the wreath to
blister the brow of every Democratic leader in
the land.
Slavery.
The following incident, which we find in a
letter written at Yazoo City, to the Datly
court Demoorat, sets forth the true meaning of
the system of southern slavery. We commend
it to the men in our oven midst who love to talk
jeeringly of those who do not shrink from being
called abolitionists:
I will relate an incident, which occurred this
morning, at the expense of
,a gallant young
soldier. He was prospecting aroutaid town ; when
his attention was attracted to a Stable of very
fine liaises. While admiring 'their fine points,
he was surprised by the appearance of a very
fascinating young lady, as she emerged from
another apartment of the horse-hduse,and Mowed
politely, and smiled upon him. He
stammered out something like an a pologrfor his
seeming intrusion, mixing up the words "pro
clamation" and "confiscation," Scc , and ended
by ask.ii.g' who was the owner of the place?
"Dr. Neely," replied the lady.
"And you--you are his wife ?" said the so'
dim% doubtfully.
"No," said the lady.
"Then his daughter ?"
smilingly,
"No."
niece, perhaps?-endearingly.
"No ; no relation, that I know of."
"Then a lady friend, on a visit ?—puzzlingly.
"No, not that, either.
"Well ; 'then, may The permitted to ask who
you are?' : • . -
"Certainly,!' replied the , •larlY,. who hkd en
joyed the soldier's discomfiture with a phosa ,
relish. - "Pain his slave 1" 1
The tlioldier gave one km& last, - lingering
—Thus the remorseless developments of
slavery have been progressing, until, from hold
lug in bondage a race of semi-barbarous Afri
cans, it finds itself tho possessor of white men
and women, and the chief actor in a bloody
tragedy for the overthrow and extincticn of free •
dom. This is the divine institution which modern
Democrats love to defend, and doughfaces ad•
vocate as a constitutional right.
THE capture of John Morgan's banditti in
the State of Ohio, coming after the briiliant
and unprecedented victories of Meade, Grant,
Banks, Blunt and Bosccrans, must not be
classed as an loaf, dual fire which should
pale before these glowing suns. The defeat
and seizure of Morgan and his robbers re
lieves the whole Department of Kentucky
from the vilest gang of scoundrels that ever
infested a border State. He was the terror
of the loyalists because of his cruelty and re;
pacity, and was enabled to inflict immense in
jury upon the long line of communications
extending from Tennessee to Louisville. No
such line could be easily defended at all points.
Its very length tempted Morgan with his free
riders to cut the rails, to capture trairs, and to
run away with couriers. When Morgan got
into Ohio he took all the fresh horses on his
route, and left behind his jaded animals.
Shackleford had no such advantage in the
pursuit ; hence his triumph, regarded as well in
rtference to the conduct of his officers and men,
as in reference to the relief it has afforded to
the p3ople of Kentucky and Ohio, and to the
movements of ilosecrans, entitles it to be class
ed side by side with the cavalry expeditions of
Grierson and Kilpatrick. Gen. Shackleford is
a Kentuckian, an eminent lawyer, linden uncon
ditional, unquestioning, enthusiastic Union man.
He entered the war with a full conscience in
the fight, and a bright sword in his hand. He
has never been staggered by oppositions of con
fiscation, emancipation, negro enrollment, and
negro soldiers. It was a happy sequel that a
Kentucky gambler and thief like Morgan should
be pursued and taken by a Kentucky heart
whole patriot ardl accomplished soldier like
Shackleford.
It is to be hoped that the Government will
be in no hurry to exchange John Morgan.—
In some cmntries a man who has hunted
and suppliated his own people as Morgan
has done wuold hive swung in the sight of
his whole command. Without knowing the
terms of the "cartel," it is to be hoped that
when we have at least fifty thousand rebel
prieoners in our hands, and a very large
number of general officers, that there will be no
"wedding haste" to return John Morgan back
to the bloody theater of his companions, that
he may again plunder the loyal men of Ken.

Advanoe of Pegram's Rebel Forces
THE SURRENDER OF MORGAN
CINCINNATI, July 29.
The following information was received at head
quarters last night.
Col. l'egram with between fifteen hundred
and two thousand men, crossed the Cumber
land' river a day or two since and moved north
towards Richmond. He was in the vicinity of
that place at last accounts.
The prevailing opinion herein military circles
is that when Pegram started he was not aware
of the capture of Morgan and contemplated
assisting him to escape.
the disposal of oar forces in Kentucky is
such as will be impossible for him to either
advance much further or escape.
Columbus specials say the question, whether
Capt. Burbridge bad authority to accept the
r.urrende.r of Morgan, will be Speedily deter
mined.'
He was not regularly elected militia Captain,
nor had he any command at the time of blur
ga'n's surrender. Burbeok, with a few compan
ions, was acting as guards for Morgan, When,
the latter discovering our forces closing in upon
him, offered to surrender to him in order that
he might secure terms to suit himself. Burbeck
at once g-anted terms which Morgan proposed.
A few moments afterwards t•hackelford came
up and took charge of the gang, refusing to re
cognize the terms of surrender.
Morgan will doubtless be sent back to Col

Invasion of Kentucky
LEXINGTON THREATENED
A special dispatch to the Commercial, from

attacked our tortes at Richmond, consisting of
a small detachment under Colonel Sanders.
After an hour's severe fight our troops were
compelled to fall back to the Kentucky river,
and were badly cut up. -
The rebel force is estimated to have been 2,-
600 men, with six pieces. The are supposed to
be the advance of- Bragg's army.
At the latest advicee our troops bad fallen
back within five miles of Lexington, the enemy
closely following.
Idarti.ll law has been proclaimed at Lexing

zers with secession cause, report the rebel force
is over 16,000, and they are moving in a north
erly direction, via Crab Orchard.
A special dispatch from Lexington to the

An Elegant Epistle from a Southern
Lady.
Some time since, a rebel by the name of Har
din, was captured near Vicksburg, with a let
ter written by a lady of one of the " first
families" in Mississippi,
residing near. Lake
Providence, which letter he was conveying to
Mrs. Amy Anderson, in a neighboring State.
The writer of the letter speaks of her husband
as "Mr. P.," and it appears that he was a man
of considerable influence and standing.- I send
you the letter with extracts masked, in order
that your readers may see what spirit pervades
the • high-bred dames" of this region. If
any one imagines that the language used by
the writer of this letter is unusual with high-
born southern ladies, let him inquire of the
first returned officer or soldier he meets, and
he will doubt no longer.
Dearest aunt: -
Mr. P. could not attend to Rob's business,
for the same reason that he dissuaded him from
going, as Rob neglected to bring his proper pa
pars, and, whhout them, Mr. P. felt certain he
could have gone no further than Canton, as
our laws are decidedly more rigid, at least the
conscript law, and carried out to the very let
ter, than in your State or any other. So Mr.
P. assisted Rob in getting the services of our
old friend Mr. J. I fear to tell any names, as
the unprincipled demon foe prides himself upon
discovering important information through in
tercepted letters, which have been forcibly ex
tracted from the poor, affrighted negro, child,
or unprotected female, whom they may chance
to meet or discover in their murdering, thiev
ing, devil-like travels. I with they could see
all that I have written of them, and wish still
more fervently that every line and desire of my
heart could fall upon them to place them in
situations I would designate;
If there is a hereafter, a heaven or hell, I
pray to go to perdition ere my soul would be
joined or rest in heaven with the fiendish foe.
But God has ever shown himself a just, true
Father, and will ere long mete out to them
their proper punishment. Heaven would not
be the place described to us were it filled with
spirits so foul; ID hellish, (excuse the expres
sion.) Words are to weak, too trite, to . feeble
to convey even the slightest idea of feehlig
which our refined, elegant, high toned, princi
pled, chivalrous people feel or look upon such
an offcast, degenerate set. It would be some
solace to us when we loose our husbands, fath
ers, sons and friends, to know they were, fight
ing an enemy civilized or refined in a great,de
gree. But oh 1 the thought is killing, is too
painful, to see our men, the choicest, most re
fined specimens of God's work, destroyed and
even forced to take up arms against the offseour
ings, outcast dregs of credal ; for every men they
lose is a bles-ing, a god-send to humanity and
so.lety. But enough of such stuff. I might
write ten thousand pages and then fail to pen
one idea correctly.
If ever I bad one lady-like feeling, or wish
for a northern man, even before this bloouy

It appears that everything in Secessia does
not suit the writer's ideas of propriety, and
that the rights of private property, in other
words. of plicate Diggers, are not inevitab'y
respected in the dominions of Jeff. Davii, as
bear witness the following:
"The overseer and managers treat the prop
erty of private patriotic men at Vicksburg more
like the Yanks than I thought a Southern man
could do. They are not only cruel, but worse.
I. hey neglect them in sickness, whereas an houi 'a
attenton would save hundreds; but we must
stand it even it we lose all we have. Say not
a word, the laws cf State so order. I see not
why Idls'esippi cant ot remunerate our lasses
as early as any other State, but we run some
things into the around and entirely neglect
other items equally as important. I pray the
hated foe will all be sent to perdition, vessels
and all,ere they gain one inch mor • foothold on
ary property of any kind that can benefit them.
I would joyously ace everything we own crum

BRIITAIFTY OF A RABEL PREACHES.-1105t of
our readers, says the New Albany (Indiana)
Ledger, and particularly those in Kr- ntucky, will
remember that some twelve months ago, a no
roi ions preacher named ticobey, was arraigned
before the Louisville Conference of the M. E
church, on a charge of disloyalty, and by a b re
majority of one succeeded in getting his case
continued for one year—or until another Con
ference. In the prosecution of the case, Rev.
Hr. Cornelius, now of Corydon, Indiana, but
then a member of the Lmieville Conference,
was very active, earnestly believing that no
traitor was a fit man to dispense the word of
life.
We are informed that when Morgan visited
Corydon, this renegade Methodist preacher,
Scobey, who was acting as chaplain to one of
the horse thief regiments, was with him. Hear
ing that Rev. Mr. Cornelius resided in the town,
he took a file of soldiers and sought out his
residence Mr. Cornelius was not at home, and
thus escaped being murdered. Scobey, how
ever, was determined to have his revenge, and
so he ordered the soldiers to take out of the
house all of Cornelius' goods, which was done.
The furniture was broken to pieces, beds ripped
open and their contents scattered, bed clothing
torn into tatters, and a general destruction
wrought.
Bat the climax of this scoundrel Scobey's
infamy was not yet reached. Several weeks
ago the amiable and much loved lady of Mr.
Cornelius died. Mr. C. had carefully pricked
away her clothing, to keep as sacred memen
toes of one dearest to him than all the world
beside. Scobey was told of this fact, yet with a
fiendishness such as we have never before heard
of, he took the dresses, skirts, and all the
other under-clothing of the dead woman, his
late sister in the church, and tore them with
his own hands into the smallest fragment. He
thus revenged himself on a living man by the
gros - est sacrilege on all that remained of what
bad been the property of his dead wife. Is
there on record a parallel to this infamy ? How
true is it that when treasm enters a man's
heart it sets up therein a carnival of all the
baser and most helish passiots of his nature.
