The Convention To-hlorrow
Upon the action of the Convention which
will assemble in Pittsburg, to morrow, will de
pend the position cf Pennsylvania as a loyal
State. We cars not who is nominated, if the
nomination is net cordially endorsed by the
united voices of all the delegates present, a
schism will be created in the p arty—a division
will be marked among loyal men out of which
defeat to our candidate and disaster to our
country will a,sareelly spring. As we have fre
quently declared, we now solemnly rept at, that
the Union men of Pennsylvania cannot afford
to be defeated at the cAning mion for Gov
ernor. Other interes s, besides those of the
keystone State, will be involved in that ebc•
Sim. Other purposes besides those of serving
the rebellion or gratifying the malice of indi
vidual must 1)3 served, and if these are suffer
ed to be impaired or endangered in the least,
even victory may notsAve us altogether from the
dreadful effects which defeat would be certain
to entail. Hence the necessity of harmony
among those who profess to love their country.
Hence the necessity of sacrifices among those
whom that country has enriched with material
wealth and personal honors. The man who can
not see and will not acknowle4e this necessity,
is blind to the country's dreadful condition, as
well as regardless of his own duty in en hour like
the present. Our enemies feel that they ran only
succeed by tormenting all sorts of discord in our
ranks. Our 'eke-warm friends understand this
tact as welt, and hence they, too, hanging their
devotion on the doubts of victory and defeat
between the candidates for Governor, are un
scrupulous of the means they use to destroy a
great political combination, so that they serve
their own ends.
In the contest whili will be fought at the
ballot bow in October next, the loyal . men of
Pennsylvania must win a victory or fly with
shame from our brethren in the field. as they
return crowned with victory won where they
have been contending with armed traitors.
We have the numerical strength and the prin
ciples to secure such a victory. All that is
needed is the virtue to harmmize—the man to
allay all differences—the candidate to curly our
banner with invincible and victorious force
through every election district in the Common
wealth. These are matters for the Convention
which will assemble iu Pittsburg to-morrow,
to accomplish. In the name of the State and
the nation we trust that Convention will be
successful.
The ;Employment of Disabled Soldiers
The order of the President, in regard to two
widows of soldiers making application for ap
pointment as pest mistresses, in certain locali
ties, has elicited groat commendation from the
press and the people of the country. It ap
pears that two applications were made by wid
ows of deceased soldiers, for vecant pestoffiees,
and that the President immediately ordered
the appointments to be made, and also, in a
letter to the Postmaste. General, announced
that his policy, in filter; would be to give of
fices -all things else being equal—to disabled
soldiers, and, when practicable, to the widows
of those who have fallen, while defending
the integrity and unity of the country.—
There is something so just and generous iu this
action that we trust it will find emulator's
wherever theta is patronage to dispense or place
fitted to the physical and mental capacity of
disabled soldiers, or the widows of those who
fell in battle, to bestew. In every branch of
private and pm lie business, there are positions
and sinecures now held by a class of men who
are of little use to the nation, of no conse
quence to the progress of bilge:else in of
peace, and of even less imeortance and use
when energy and ability Mconte suddenly ne
ces-ary t r private and public good. This class
of people it -ye food eump , ut usly on the f:t of
the la d, and i. now biomes a question whe
ther tree pl mes which th y have occupied, and
the s dark s that they have squandert d, should
not be- aboli-hed and suspended, or .whether
the men who have perilled life and limb a-e
not entitled to these positions and 01101th:cuts.
We are seriously of the opinion, that the
disabled soldier , has a high and a
holy claim to both, and the political
party as well as the corporations and
business men, that fast sets the example
Of considering and recognizing the claims of
the soldier to the position in their gift for
which he is qualified, will be the first to win
the confidence and support of the geeerous
minded of the American people. If any sot of
men deserve sinecures in this life, it is those
who have risked all of life, with affection and
domestic duty, to maintain and defend the
country. The heroes of the war, who survive
its bloody conflicts, to behold in the result of
their struggles a country redeemed from treason
and rebellion, deserve not only, honor and ap
plause, but that more sabstsntial recognition
which brings with it comfort for the body and
joy to the heart. We repeat, therefore, that
we trust the soldier who-has been disabled- in
battle will be received icto the situations Foth
in the gift of the Gpvernment aed of busine:s
men, where a living and a competence can be
honorably and lightly secured. Let those who
have escaped the dangers • of battle and who
have been enjoying the ease of life while the
battle raged, take their places in the ranks of
that labor and toil which will be require here
after to restore the country to its former mos-
parity. ._ By every principle -.of jutticeotthis

Idle Major Generals.
Some of our cotempo; erica have Lena j , :stly
ccmplairring of ti e numin:r of idle illajor h
cr:tis, with their staffs, who are conspicuous at
fashionable watering plat: s, and known, not in
battle as well as they are on the promenades of
the fal cal or com men ial metropolis of the na
Lien. We believe that within only a few weeks
it cost the government almost a hundred thou
sand dollars a }ear to support the Major Gen
erals and their staffs who were located in this
Stale, while the benefit derived was of tint
cheapnes3 which could not have stood a severe
test of estimation, when ability and actual
service were required to predominate in the
calculation.
In this matter of idleness on the part of
prominent officers in the army, Gen. Hooker
set the service and the government a splendid
example. Some weeks since Gen. Hooker sig
nitled to the President that in case he was not
needed in the service he would resign, as he
did not di sire to draw a salary unties he was
kept on duty. The President replied that he
could not spare him, but said no more. After
waiting a short time, the General renewed his
application, when he was told that he would
be given work before Saturday last. Whatever
may be thought of Hooker's generalship,
this act will be endorsed without dis ent.
He has been regarded as a proud man ;
and this demand on the President evinces
that his pride runs in the right direction.—
There are, however, a dozen or more Major
Generals who, while they are out of employ
ment, do not scruple to draw their pay with
remarkable punctuality. They regard them
sires as ‘iCll/1/6 of an ungrateful adreinistra
tion; and we must say that the people, also,
regtv d a portion of them as such ; but that
don't justify them iu accepting high salaries
for services never rendered; even though their
idleness arises from no fault of their own.
However much the people may admire the ge
nius of a portion of these men, they would not
lessen the estimation in which they were held
by making a demand on the Administration
either to assign them to duty or accept their
resignations. Indeed, such a caurse would not
fail to increase their popularity. We have no
doubt but there are two or three men who, if
the alternative were presented to the Adminis
tration of placing them in command or die
pensing with them altogether, would be assigned
places immediately. The burden upon thepeo
ple, arising from the legitimate expenses of the
war, is sufficient for them to hear; and they
should not be taxed to maintain any man or
set of men not actually engaged in the service,
or who have not been disabled in some way
while doing duty. If General Hooke'r is not
assigned to a command, and he persists in his
determination to resign, he will furnish an ex
ample to his fellow-Generals which they will
do well to imitate, and which, it is to be hoped,
they will imitate, without delay. if the ser
vice of any of them is demanded by the coun
try, the responsibility for the resignation will
rest with the President, who removed them,
and the people will not be backward in placing
it where it belongs.
A Fighting Democrat on Vallandigham
aid the Copperhead Tribe.
Gen. John A. Logan, a well known Illinois
Demacrat e connected with the army of General
Grant, is home on a short visit to his friends.
In parsing through Cairo the people gathered
around him, and he made a few impromptu
remarks, which we give below. General Logan,
it will be remembered, was strongly opposed to
coercion. After the attack upon Sumter, and
when there was a hope that the difficulties
might ho settled by compromise, he went to
Richmond to talk to the leading politicians there
on the subject. He was told that if the Ad
ministration would give them a sheet of white
paper, and allow them to make their own terms
they would not accept the offer short of a dissb
lution of the Union. Logan then made up his
mind that the Union could only be saved by
war; he abandoned his anti-coercion ideas, came
home and girded on the swotd. He has since
been servirg Ids canotty in the army. This is
the tam who speaks as follows:
"It makes no (tiff rence weather you call
me Dem .cr.,t, Republican or 46d:timid -as
stone have of late named' me It does ni,t
change my feelings-dors not alter my action.
I am for my county every time-for my country
first, last and always; and I am figh4tag for
the right of that country to b 3 numbered
among the boomed nations the earth. Un
til that is brought about, and this rebellion
crushed out, I am but an American citizen.
When that right shall have been asserted,
then, should we find that there is something
wrong in the fabric that our fathers reared,
something we desire to change, it will be time
enough to come up and demand the change.
Now we have this accursed rebellion to root

"Eveiy mother's son who is opposed to the

against us or for us. Then there would Se no
talk of peace here in the North, no talk of re
sistance, no such men as rallandigham, no _such
cowards as those who support all such men, and say
these things.

It is only by the force of bayonets that their army is

deserters from flocking into Jackson by hun
dreds, to tike the oath of allegiance or to join
the Union ranks. And I tell you what I know
when I sly that it will not be many days ere
che entire States of Missitsippi and Tennessee
will be knocking loudly for re-admission to a
Union ahich not long since they thought their
puny efforts could quickly dissolve. They are
talking of it even now.
"6peaking of being united, I tell you, by the
Eternal aod, there was never a more truthful
Sentence than that of Douglas : "Those who
are not with us are against us ;" and I reiterate it
and add that those who are not with us should be
hung, or should be with their Southern brethren,
fighting with them.
" Let them either aid the Government or go
where they can bolster up the tottering fortunes
of rebeidom . Better have a dozen foes in the
field than one fighting us behind our backs.
" To alt copperhetds, peace men, agitators,
anti-war men—be they Republicans or Demo
,rats—for we have them here pretending to be
both—l have a word to say on the bt half of our
brave soldiers. And you have undoubtedly
been told that the war has its opposers in the
ranks of the Union army. It is an accursed and
foul atversion upon the fair fame of men who
are willing to spill their blood, give their lives
fur their country. They are for our Union.—
They fight fur the people and their country, for
the suppression of the rebellion. Let me say
to all opposers of the war : The time will come
when men composing this army will come to
their homes. 'I hey have watched the progress
of events with interest. They have bad their
eyes upon these unmitigated cowaith these op
ponents of the country and the Administration
—(and the Administration, I contend, is the
country)—and when they return it will do the
soul of every true loyal man good to see the
summary manner in which they will cause these
sneaks and pew: agitators to seek their holes."
For a few moments the crowd that had gath
ered around was deeply absorbed in what their
"fighting general," as many called him, said,
and his remarks, though given upon the spur of
the moment, struck home to the hearts of all
who listened. Could Logan make the leaders
of our people feel as be speaks, this war could
not last three months. It would be crushed out
by fotco of numbers alone. After expressing
himself somewhat warmly against copperheads
and sneaks, General Logan concluded with the
following characteristic apology:
"You will excuse me, gentlemen, if, in saying
what I have said, I have been rather profuse
and heavy in the way of emphasis. Two years
away from civilization, with my men, has made
me rather emphatic in all thy thoughts and
wends in regard toe, rtain things. I speak em
phatically because I emphatically feel that
which my tongue finds to say."
Advices from Europe, four days later, are re
ceived by the Arabia, which arrived at Halifax
yesterday. She left Liverpool on the 25th, and
Queenstown on the 26th ult. It is announced
that the Galway line of steamers is to go into
operation again on the 19th of August. The
marine insurance companies had been heavy
losers by the capture of the ship B. F. Hoxieby
the Albania— some £150,000 having been sunk
'by the operation. The owner of the Alexandria
had of plied for the release of their vessel,and for
compensation for her detention, but the appli
cation could not be entertained until certain
proceedings before the Courts were gone through
with. An Anti-Southern Association had been
formed at Manchester. Oa the 23d, in the House
of Comtnens, Mr. Cobden, called up the subject
of the Foreign Enlistment act, and advocated its
amendment. He referred to the Alabama, Flo
rida and Virginia, and said it was well known
that two iron-clads were now being built at W-
I erpool for the rebels. He called upon the British
Government to prevent the departure of those
iron -clad; and thus prevent a declaration of war
on the part of the American Government. Mr.
Layard, in behalf of the Government, insisted
that everything had been done which could be
done to prevent the eqUipment of .vessels for the
rebels in English ports. Be further insisted
that the Americans had built ships of war for
Russia during the Canteen war, and had re
cruited their armies in Ireland during the
prei ent war, both of which statements, Mr.
Layard doubtless knew to be untrue when h e
uttered theti. Lord Palmerston also de
fended the course of the Government, and
said he could see no distinction In principle
between "selling arms to the Federals and
selling ships to the confederates." Mr. Cob
den offered to read a letter from Secretary
Welles, denying the truth of the statement
made by Mr. Laird in the House of Commons
some time ago, that his firm had been ap
proached by agents of the United States Gov
ernment relative to building war vessels for the
North. The Polish question remains much as
represented by the previous steamer. There is
much dissatisfaction, both in France and Eng
land, at the tenor of the Russian note, and the
Cabinet of Vienna is also said to be much ex
cited. ' Breadetuffs and provisions also had an

Arrival of the Steamer City of Manchester
TIIE LONDON TIMES ON TEE BATTLE OF
GETTYSBURG
I=l=
NEW Yeas, Aug. 4.
The papers by the steamer City of Manchester
furnish the following:
"In the House of Lords, on the 23d ult., Lord
Palmerston said that the practice of the Fede
ral Consuls in receiving bonds that cargoes of
vessels were not intended for the confederates
was in violation of international law. Remons
trances had been made and the Federals pro
mised to stop the proceedings, but he feared
they had not done so. He hoped that a fresh
remonstrance would prove more effectual.
LONDON, July 23.—The Ames contends that
Lee bad suffered no decided repulse. Lm's
forces, it says, moved from the scene of
battle by a road to the left of the Federal posi
tion, and the day after were unmolested at
Emmetsbnrg, a place so far on the road that
they must have teen almost in the rear of the
Federal army. There he had been ten days
moving all his trains of wounded and supplies,
and no doubt an immense mass of booty, quietly
towards the Potomac.
All accounts agree that he succeeded in pass
ing them over into Virginia unmolested. It
may be that he Intended his army should fol
low but his movements show no sign of the
confusion inseparable from a retreat in the face
of a victorious enemy.
His troopsare described as steadily preparing
for another battle somewhere near the - ground
of last year's struggle with M'Clellan, and
we are informed that none have yet
crossed the river. On the contrary It
is said he has received heavy reinforcements
from Beanregard's army. Lee's position is
such that his retreat to Virginia in a case of
necessity, is secure, unless the Federals can de
tach a suffuient force to operate on his com
munications south of the Potomac. His rear
oommuoications at a short distance from the
river are at Williamsport, the point at which
he crossed, and where his s ounded and sup
plies have been passing over during the last
few days.
In the battle which appears to be impending,
General Meade is attacking a position which a
larger army than his own has selected at his
own p ensure, and tbe result of the struggle
may be extremely critical. It may end like so
many others, in a drawn battle, but defeat to
either will be dangerous, if not ruinous.
As to the question of peace, the North can
only obtain recruits at the cannon's mouth.=
This is the time, indeed, to discuss peace in the
Cabinet.

$2.00 REWARD.-LOST. rarinddaili
o'clock in the morning, a stranger got off the
cars in Harrisburg, with Carpet thick in hand,
and went intu some hotel or drinking saloon
and left ft—he don't know where. As it was
near morning he did not go , to bed, but went
out again, and strolled around until daylight ;
and when zooming came he had got bewildered
and lost, and could notfind the place where he
left his baggage. Ile made some inquires for
it in places around the station the next day,
bat all to no purpose. The sack was an extra
large black oil cloth traveling bag, partially
worn, with one handle torn oil and tied on at
each end with a leather string. It contained
an elegant violin,
in good order, of a dark
brown color, with light oblong spots in the
centre of the hoops, and the bow protruded
about four inches out of the sack. It also con
tained two shirts, one a plain white muslin, the
other a red plaid light flannel. Neither had been
washed since last worn. One light check summer
vest, new pair cotton socks, a lot of smoking
and chewing tobacco, two extra large wooden
pipes, made out of laurel root; one had a big
claw cut on it, and the other a double face, with
some lettering on one side of the bowl, and stir
dry other articles, with a medium shad b'
writing case. This case contained two
shirt collars, a small neck tie, some
paper and envelopes, pens and lead

-.red no letters or name to designate it, bat
nesoription of it, on examination of its
intents, is sufficient to identify it amongst fire
thousand others. The owner is anxious to re
cover the sack and its contents again, and if any
person in Harrisburg has got one of this de
scription in their possession, and will leave
it at _the TELEGRAPH PRINTING OFFICE
immediately, or will give any information
where it may be found and obtained, they shall
have the above reward for their trouble. The
sack belongs to a poor laboring man, who needs
all that belongs to him. Will any one answer
