Friday Afternoon, August 30, 1861.
UNION COUNTY CONVENTION
At a meeting of the People's County Com
mitte the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted, viz :
WHEREAS, The present condition of our Na
tional Government demands of all good citizens
a unity of purpose to sustain and assist it in
suppressing the rebellion which is now seeking
the subversion of our free institutions ; and
whereas, in the opinion of this committee, that
unity of purpose can be measurably promoted
by discarding all party organizations in our
coming elections, and by making known fideli
ty to the Government as well as fitness for the
various positions the only tests for office.
Therefore,
Resolved, That this committee deem it expe
dient at this time to dispense with the usual
party call, and instead thereof, do hereby call
upon all the qualified voters of Dauphin county,
who are in favor of sustaining the National
and State Administrations in the vigorous
prosecution of the war, (until the last vestige of
rebellion is crushed out, and the traitors who initiated
it, by plundering the government they meant to betray,
are duly punished,) to assemble in town and dis
trict meetings, on
Saturday, the 14th of September,
and elect two delegates to represent each elec
tion district in Dauphin county, which several
delegations shall assemble in County Con
vention at the Cmrt House in the city of
Harrisburg, on TUESDAY, the 17th day of
SEPTEMBER, A. D. 1801, at 10 o'clock, A. M.
for the purpose of nominating a full county
ticket for the support of all citizens favorable
to the objects stated.
The several meetings in the townships, bor
oughs and cities will be held at their usual
places, except in the township of Jefferson,
where the election is to to held at the usual
place of holding the general elections ; and the
election in the township of West Londonderry
will be held at the public house of John 11.
Rich, in said township. The election polls in
the townships are to be opened at four o'clock
and closed at seven, and those in the boroughs
and cities are to be opened at seven and closed
at nine o'clock.
Resolved, That the electors in the several
districts be requested to instruct their delegates
to vote in Convention viva rose.
J. C. Youria, Secretary
HON. MOMAS E. Coonnsw, of York, has been
nominated for President Judge of the judicial
district formed by that and Adams county.
He is at present the Auditor General of the
state of Pennsylvania, a position which he has
occupied for some two years, to the great satis
faction of those who have a regard for the
economy of public business and the general
safety of the resources of the state. At this
time we feel almost unwilling to loose such a
man from such a position, but as his fellow
citizens seem desirous to place him in a still
higher position of usefulness and honor, we
yield in deference to their demands; and respect
also for a merited honor to a most worthy gen
tleman. On the bench, he must become useful,
and win for himself additional credit as a man
of industry and integrity. He is a polished
scholar in the lore of the law, sagacious and
keen in his perceptions of the right, and just
such a man as we would take pride in support
ing for a judgeship.
Tits DRY TORTUGAS.—There are doubtless
some of our readers who see in the papers that
mutineers have been sent to the "Dry Tortu
gas," but have rather an indefinite idea as to
what sort of a place it may be. This locality
to which mutinous and disorderly soldiers are
sent to serve out their term of enlistment, is' a
bleak and barren sand key in the Gulf of Mexico,
about one hundred miles southwest from Cape
Sable. It is cheerless and uncomfortable, deso
lated by simoons, and peopled by venomous
reptiles—decidedly one of the most uncomforta
ble points to which the Government is obliged
to send its insubordinates. The mutineers ban
ished to Tortugas du not go as soldiers, but as
unarmed laborers, and will be compelled to
work upon armed fortifications, much as peni
tentiary convicts do in quarries and sandbanks.
Maas B. SCIINAI3EL, notorious in this his na
tive and the other states of the north and east,
as a foul mouthed advocate of the very foulest
of northern dough-faceism, has been arrested
by the United States Marshal of Connecticut,
and imprisoned at Fort Lafayette. He was for
a long time one of the pets of the Buchanan
administration, and was sustained on a sinecure
office by Bjchanan, purposely to abuse every
man whMiffiered with him, and assist in hurry
ing forward the very trouble in which we are
now involved. So far as his arrest is concerned,
that should have been done long since, because
if the charge of treason against him should
prove false, he is guilty. of sufficient other
enormities to send him to the penitentiary for
a few years at least.
BEN. MCCULLOCII'I3 DESTINATION.--011e of the
St. Louis papers has a report that Ben: McCul
loch freely boasts that he will go to Jefferson
city, St.• Louis, or to h---I. The St. Louis edi
tor considers it probable that the last alterna
tive will be the result.

of Judge Pearson, delivered to the Grand Jury
at our present Court of Quarter Sessions, as an
able, patriotic, and eminently loyal production
MOVEMENTS OF THE REBEL ARMY-RA
PID INCREASE OF IRE FEDERAL
FORCES.
A Washington correspondent gives us the
information that there are fresh and unmistaka
ble indications of a large concentration of rebel
troops at or near Leesburg, and on a line from
there to the Chain Bridge. Our scouts at the
last named place have noticed for several days
a steady increase of rebel troops back of the
bridge on the road on the Virginia aide leading
to Great Falls. From the best information in
the hands of our generals it is judged that
twenty thousand rebel troops are upon the
banks of the Potomac from Chain Bridge to
Nolan's Ford, near the mouth of the Monocacy. 1
Whether the great body of the rebel force is
advancing from Manassas is a secret we have
not yet penetrated. The presence of a large
rebel force at or near Leesburg is not regarded
' with suspicion in itself, but if it is the nucleus
of an invading army it is worth attention, and
sse may be sure will receive it at the hands of
General Banks and Colonel Geary, the latter of
whom has charge of the river near Nolan's
Ford. The river has thus far been in a condi
tion in which it could not be safely forded by a
large army. Boat loads of rebel scouts have
crossed, however, and of late they have exhib
ited a good deal of boldness in their operations
on the Maryland side of the river, to the terror
of the loyal citizens of that region. Under
such circumstances the canal, now open to C tim
berland, is worth little or nothing. The boat
men fear deadly attacks, and are liable to shots
from the Virginia shore, as the canal follows
close to the river banks.
It is within the bounds of possibility that the
rebels will cross the Potomac at Nolan's Ford
or Edward's Ferry in great force, and bring on
a conflict at or near Poolesville, but it is not
probable they will risk so much for the chance
of capturing Washington. One thing is cer
tain—if they do not cross within ten days from
the present time they will not do it at all, un
less it be after they have won a victory, if they
should ever do so. Ten clays hence the govern
ment forces in this vicinity will be so great that
the rebels will not dare make an offensive move
ment, but will rather require all their energies
to defend themselves at Manassas. The plans
of General Scott for the future are of course
kept secret, but all the indications are against
an immediate advance. It is very much doubt•
ed here if anything important will be done be
fore October. Our troops are improving every
hour. Delay is strength to us at present, and
is believed to be a source of weakness to the
enemy. It is possible, however, that this is a
mistake so far as the rebels are concerned.
They may be recruting as rapidly as ourselves,
but it is not probable.
Those DEMOCRATIC ORGANS that have lately
been giving so much aid and comfort to the reb
els as to attract the attention of the federal au
thorities and the notice of the grand juries of
several counties in Pennsylvania, have changed
their tone, some of them have entirely refrained
from open sympathy, while others nurse their
treason by declaring that a military despotism
is to be established. This is the cant of the
creatures who opposed the doctrine of Douglas
trine which they pronounced falacious and mis
chievous, because it invested the people direct
ly with power to frame their own constitution,
adopt such domestic institutions as they saw fit,
and in all things provide for their own comfort,
own development, and own political power and
influence. Such at least were the declarations
of Senator Douglas while he lived and partici
pated as a legislator in the business of govern
ment, and, admitting for the sake of keeping
history correct, that he was right, it was on the
ground and position he thus took, that he in
voked the anger and antipathy of the politicians
of the south. The press which now declare
that a military despotism is to be established,
then proclaimed their hostility to popular sov
ereignty, because it invested the people directly
with too much power, and made government
too much dependent on their will or caprice.
The right of the people of all the states to the
domain of the nation was of a character that
denied any interference on the part of one man
with the rights of another. They claimed that
slavery could be carried anywhere within those
territories—that it could be maintained bud en
larged within their limits, and that it could
not be abolished until the territory was formed
into states, admitted into the Union, and then
only after due notice and time to the holders of
such property to escape with their chattle into
states where their property was recognized.—
This was a popular• argument with the Breckin
ridge wing of the Democraticparty of the south.
It was popular with the slave holder, because it
insisted on the recognition of his rights every
where, and where local law interfered with him,
afforded the opportunity for his escape and pro
tection. It denied the right of suFraye on the sub
ject of slavery. The same principle is now sought
to be established, by the declaration that the
object of the efforts of the government is to es
tablish a military despotism. This holds good
only so far as the opposition to the right of suf
frage in the territories on the subject of slavery
is consistent with the spirit and meaning of our•
free institutions. The army of the Union—the
great force of the volunteer system is founded
on the fact of popular sovereignty, because its
organization depends entirely on the will of the
men in the ranks. Every officer in the volun
teer corps is made elective, and herein is the
secret of that military despotism which the reb
els at the south and their sympathizers at the
north fear. They fear the force of popular
power as exhibited by the people, and not the
power of a military despotism. They fear that
when the people are thus organized by their
own volition, armed by a government which
they are sworn to sustain, and led by men of
their own choosing and like, they fear, we re
peat, that personal ambition and a really mili
tary demagog,ueism will be swept from the
American Union. Instead of this being a mili
tary despotism, it is a military democracy as
near as such can possibly become, because our
armies arevoluntary organizations of the people,
their discipline the result of union and har
mony, and not of mere forced obedience, and
their command and object the will and interest
of every man, from the humblest to the high
est, who follow our flag in march or battle.

PennsUluallict iailp arclegrap4. Stthav Ist.fttrnoon, 'August 30. 1861
SECESSION is progressing naturally and systi
matically. It first led to rebellion. In that
all the laws of a sacred compact and union of
states were ruthlessly violated. The right of
property was destroyed, whenever the wants of
rebellion could not otherwise be satisfied. Pri
vate property was considered as even Is ss sacred
than public possession. It has been seized or
destroyed to suit the will or the purpose of the
rebel chiefs. All this is very natural. From
this, too, it was natural for the rebels next to
proceed to the destruction of personal rights,
the right of life and liberty. Jeff Davis first
assumed to be the leader of an injured people
struggling to vindicate themselves from wrong,
and battling to establish their rights among
the nations of the world. The south was to
be regenerated and disinthralled under his magic
influence. But from leader he has risen to
President and commander, and from these he is
about to be elevated to the supreme dictator
ship of all laws, the administrator of all justice,
and the arbiter of the rights, interests and
loyalty of the people of the confederate states.
Ile has Leen made the judge of the publip safety. If
the reader of history will remember, he will
know that at this very step all the tyrants of
the world assumed absolute power. The public
safety is what has made every blood-thirsty
villain, who has filled the world with groans,
yearn for power. It was this public safety
principle that changed the destiny of all the
ancient republics. It made slaves of the people
of Greece and assassins of the, Roman soldiers.
It has held and will continue to held the gov
ernments of Europe that are now enslaved, at
the feet of their masters. It has changed the
Republics that were baptised in the blood of
Frenchmen—made a howling wilderness of
Poland, divided Ireland between sects and so
cieties--made proud Scotland a mere vassal—
and when fully carried out by King Jeff., will
plunge the white men of the soon into a worse
bondage and a deeper degradation than that in
which they have placed and hold their dark
skinned slaves.
Under the provisions of the law to which we
refer, every citizen of the United States "who
shall be within the confederate states" is liable
to be apprehended, retained or secured and re
moved as an alien enemy," and this act tip
plies to every Union man in the seceding states
who is unwilling to deny his allegiance to the
United States, and wbo refuses to make a dee
laration in due form of his intention to become
a citizen of the confederate states, and acknowl
edge the authority of that government. In
other words, a Union man in East Tennessee or
Western Virginia not engaged in the war, but
pursuing in quiet his usual avocation, who re
fuses to declare his intention to submit to the
authority of the confederate states, is "liable to
he apprehended, restrained or secured and re
moved" from his state. This is the liberty for
which the people of the south are called on to
pour out their blood and contribute their trea
sure. When the proper time has arrived, the
aristocracy who are at the head of this rebellion,
will banish from the slave states all who are op-
posed to slavery, and hasten by this means the
enslavement of all labor, without regard to
color, sex or condition.
nave been produced by the same cause in
all climes and countries. They follow as dark-
ness follows the light, and are as certain as
death is the doom of sin. The southern rebel
lion to be a success must enslave every poor
white man in the south. It must create and
establish its distinctions in society—select and
elevate its aristocracy—destroy all liberty of
speech and right of property, and hold the
mass of men as cheaply as its leaders now
hold their slaves. If it does not do this, it will
never be a success. If it does not succeed in
establishing slavery firmly in society, religion,
politics and government, it will fail in its great
obj cts. And when these fail, it will loose its
power, and liberty, law and order once more be
c,me potential in all the states of this Union.
THE GREAT EFFORT with some men is, not to
save the country, or to crush rebellion, but to
save the Democratic and crush the Republican
party. Save the Democratic party—preserve its
old prestige with the slave drivers in the
south, maintain its dirty deceptions among the
mechanics and laboring men in the north—
gloss over the falsehoods which have become
dimmed by the blood of good men struggling to
save the country- -do all that is necessary, per
mit our nationality to sink forever, only save
the Democratic party. 'this salvation is needed
to shield traitors !
GEN, Runs lima, the new Wisconsin briga
dier, and his staff have promised themselves
and each other to take nothing stimulating
during the war. How congratulatory it would
be if every brigadier and their staff in the army,
would make the same resolve. It would short
en the war and save the lives of many gallant
soldiers.
GEN. Burma is likely now to be employed in
more active and agreeable work than that of
"keeping a negro boarding house," as he wit
tingly termed his late occupation of taking care
of the "contrabands" of Fortress Monroe. He
will probably be heard of in Secessia pretty
soon, and where they least expect or wish to
see him.
SCARCITY OF COAL AND SALT.—The Petersburg
(Va.) Express, of the 17th, remarks :
On looking about at the wharves, we find
every coal yard empty, and we might almost
say swept. The approach of cold weather makes
us all feel solicitous on the subject of fuel. We
have become so dependent on the Pennsylvania
mines, that the interruption of supplies from
that source will be productive of much incon
venience.
The question of how to supply ourselves with
salt is becoming a very interesting and import
ant one. From its present scarcity its value
has become greatly enhanced, and it now readi
ly commands from $7 to $7 50 per sack. At
the auction sale of Liverpool fine salt, by Messrs.
W. Pannill & Son, yesterday, 100 sacks were
offered, the larger portion of which— some sixty
or seventy sacks—brought s6@6 50. No ne
was sold under this price.
Tux horse "warranted to stand without ty
ing," which a man bought at a sale the other
day, is now offered to be sold with the addi
tional guarantee that " he will not move with
out whipping."

WASHINGTON - , Aug. 30
The War Department has proof strong and
sufficient against the women recently arrested
to place the fact of their complicity with and
aid to secessionism beyond all doubt.
The Secretary of the Treasury contemplates
issueing an address to the public in behalf of
the national loan.
An army officer stationed on the Virginia
side of the Potomac reports that while we have
lost sevenl soldiers this week in the picket
skirmishing, at least sixteen of the enemy
were certainly killed.
Of the alleged disloyal employees in the
Treasury Department, it has been ascertained
that twenty ceased to be clerks before Mr. Pot
ter's committee commenced its investigations,
and that about the same number are endorsed
by their respective friends as being true to the
Government. There is no account of the re
mainder of those reported by the committee.
It has been ascertained at the office of Gen.
Scott, and by Gen. McClellan, that the battles,
skirmishes, &c., reported to have taken place
"over the river" during the last twenty-four
hours, have all ori g inated in the prolific brain
of manic makers. Gen. McClellan, on hearing
of active movements, passed over and examin
ed the lines. He returned reporting "all
right." Movements awl counter movements
are made by the advanced guards of both arm
ies, but collisions are avoided on both sides.
FROM MISSOURI,
DEPREDATIONS BY THE REBELS
The rebels, encouraged by the exaggerated
reports of the battle near Springfield, are con
gregating in large numbers in this and the sur
rounding counties, committing all kinds of out
rages-upon Union men and their property. If
they are allowed to overrun Lafayette, Ray, and
other such counties in this part of the State,
as they are now doing, they will steal enough
from the Union men to subsist their army for a
month. In view of this condition of things,
assistance has been asked of General Fremont.
The Home Guards still occupy the fortifica
tions here, and are well supplied with arms and
provisions. They can probably hold the place,
but reinforcements are needed to operate against
parties who are ravaging the country. Promi
nent Union men are daily threatened with
death, and Gov. Ring, of Ray county, has been
frequently warned, but his devotion to the
Union is unshaken, and he and his sons are
ready to shoulder their muskets.
DASTARDLY AITEMPT TO BLOW UP A
RAILROAD TRAIN
RaLLA., Mo. ,
Aug. 29.—The correspondent of
the St. Louis Democrat furnishes the following
intelligence.
An attempt was made, yesterday, to blow up
- As the tlain L ieidied a point .eight miles east
of here an explof3ion. fruar_ Islam henenth the lo
comotive, literally covering it with dirt and
gravel, and slightly wounding the engineer.
t. On backing the train to the side track it was
discovered that a keg of powder had been
buried between the rails, which was exploded
in some unaccountable manner when the engisie
passed over it.
The explosion occured on an embankment
over thirty feet high, and had its force been
spent in an upward direction, instead of latter
ally, as was the case, the train would doubtless
have been thrown from the track, and several
lives lost.
A company of cavalry went down the rail
road to reconnoitre last night, found several
rails torn up in a deep cut, near Jamestown,
and fired upon three suspicious characters on
the track close by, but with what result is not
known.
Oen. Mcßride, with 1,600 rebels, is reported
to be on Spring Cieek, twenty miles south-west
from here.

General W. Petham, formerly surveyor gene

General Petham refused to take the oath, and
is still confined in the guard house.
