The call of the Peoples' State Committee, sum moning such delegate& as the people of Penn sylvania may select, to meet In State Ott:lnven tion, appears at the, bead of our editorial columns today. We accept the . union which that call proposes, for the sake of the Union ; and on the issue made, of giving the National Administration an undivided and a patriotic support, we havera right to anticipate the m..:st glorious moons. In this contest there are two parties, as there are contending armies in the country. There is a party at the south which is battling to destroy the federal Union, while there is another party in the north laboring to overthrow and - demoralize the federal Adminis tratioa. There is, no difference bet Ween the design and the objects of these cliques, though they seem to be marching in different direc tiona,and fighting under different banners. The one, with torch and sword was beseiging the federal capital for months, while the other with vituperation and falsehood, has been tra ducing and assailing the federal administration since its butugurittion. It is to crush both these influences, that this union is now • proposed. To crush rebellion by strengthening the hands , of loyai men. To counteract treason, by shutting pp, the avenues of the goverrunent to traitors; and to give tone to that.publio send; mant"witich first aroused the rn ssess of Penn sylvania in their deviotion to the Union. The People's State Central Committee have acted With a'wisdom, a patriotism, and a judi cious regard for the feelings and sentiments of thetuasses. of Pennsylvania on this subject, whiehdeeerve our warmest approval and fullest confidence. Their action augurs success, and for the 'issue which they have made, we bespeak the hearty endorsement of the patriotic people of Pennsylvania. In the meantime, our broth. ran of the press must not be idle. Let the word be epolren that while our armies are strug gling. Vttk armed traitore, the people,are nobly contending-with those who are secretly in sym pelt ivitli treason. _ _ liscirArramti, the traitor, is earning only bits* and muses,• among those whom he has abruned`to lead in rebellion and intrust in warfare.

There is nok a leader of , the Breckenridge faction in the north, who is not secretly engaged in giving aid and comfort to the traitor cause. They imagine they reader ouch aid by attacking Be • publicans as abolitionists, and assailing all who are engaged in the war to auppress the rebel lion, as emancipationists. Of course these men are understood. While the Breakenridgers of the path, have .tbe blood of the rebellion on their . hands, the Breckenridgers of the north and free states have it on their souls.

THA.DDEUS STEVENS• It is not our vocation to refute the slanders or answer the Sang of the Patriot and Union. Such a task would be as hopeless as replying to the babbling of an idiot or the ravings of a maniac. But it is pleasant, occasionally, to turn aside from our other duties, to write and print a just and honorable word in belmlf of those whom that sheet delights to cover with its slime. We experience that pleasure to-day, while pla cing on record our high regard for and full con fidence In the eon.

It "is Thaddeus Stevens, the defender of freedom and the advocate of law and justice,' Whom the Patriot opposes. It is Thaddeus Stevens, the author of the common school system, whom the, whole pack of iiemi-traitoro assail; because by that measure the doom of modern Democ racy was sealed, and has been steadily made to decline as darkness declines before the light of day. The patriot hates Thaddeus Stevens,'be cause he has more then •onee stood alone be- . tween the Oeniooracytiilid theydmest interests of the country. miligus 6 - BtiattA so often in its vile attempt' at plunder, and is now so bnively engaged in oPPoeing a regularly Democratic organisation 'for treason, that his recomnienthitionnanst °Owlet; of abnee of the Patriot, and his brightest reward be qonsti tilted by the fact thathe is opposed by a party, of which the' Harrisburg Patriot and Union is the organ. ThaddeuiStevens is now before the country as tbe chldnnen of the moat impartial Congres sional OOmmittee--that of Ways and .

CONFISCATION. , The people of Pennsylvania, in times past, have stood by the people of the south, when some of the broad issues then dividing parties involved their' most vital interests. It 'was always a question with the Minim Of this state, whether it was not better to yield gredually'to aompromise and concession, than to act on the. Brat impulse-of a passionate claim to right.- By such a policy Pekinsylvanialtitermied on more than one occasion betw,een the south and a rapture of,the Union , until-the people of - that section imaginedthat-the neeeentry-influenceto Garry out the policy they deekned essential to southern omnipotence and sucacs,"wai *her threat of dietiolution or.in attitude of" belliger ence to the Union. This conditkon.of affairs began its changes as the gradual arrogance and , . assumptions of , the , representatives and people of. the south Inemasecl,- until now, when we find -Pennsylvania format in those vigorous measures which were liaised for the still•more vigorous suppression of febellkm.. those measures, none is regarded with more favor, by - the *lass of the people in this state, than confiscation. They ire not' merely willing to e nter the service for the, oierthrow of the rebellion by the force of arms; but they demand that the civil authority should do its duty' air well as the military power. The idea of bat tlitig with rebels, and risking, the llies of love men, is one of the natural and acceptable re sults of slavery. It was reasonable that inch battles shouldfollow the spread of slavery on this continent, heCiiise Wherever.theloatitutiOn is sustained and encouraged, it must breed an tagonism with freedom and' ' treason - against . , good , government. These are truths which cannot be gotten ,over, and while we accept their stern- realities; we have aright to insist that the other -reilitles growing out of 'this struggle should also tie forced on the relielsi. those who' : object' to, such a contingency -are among the - meanest of those who sympathise _with traitors ; and everi those who back theta= shires in, their ioslticin of !opol oppoei tlon this measure, will shortly discover that they have incurred aload of, odium by- their con duct, from' which they will - haVe the moat cult work of their lives to escape. • , On this subject of emancipation, &lister Wil mot made a Most admirable and powerful speech , in Congress, on ' Wednesday. It was direct in purpose, unequivocal in meaning, practical in its stOstiow and peculiarly el*- . *3l° style S * 1 4 40 5i:21404°54 that: madlecetion'lMl not /jilt Malt was pennovluania Math) Ctlegrap4 CS!. : 7 1aV Ahning• litlaß 3, 1862 sential to success, and of vast influence' ter"- after in crushing out the spirit as 'wilt aithe action of treason. If the slave property of rebels is to be exempt from confiscation, andre bel titles in human flesh are to hold good, these villians will suffer no inconvenince in flying hence to seek shelter beyond the reach of our own government. They will be able to live io luxury on the products of their Ameri can slaves, while the revenue afforded from such labor will assist them in concocting further schemes for the overthrow of the, gnvernment and the convulsion of the Union. These are arguments hard to refute, and we thank Senator Wilmot, in the name of the people of Pennsyl vania, for the bold manner with which he has contended for the direct punishment of traitors.

OFFICIAL DISPATCH Ala., via Lommus; May 1 Zi) Hon. Edwin M. &anion, Sonytory of War: On yesterday, the enemy having cut our Wires, and attacked, durieg the might, one of our brigades, I deemed it my duty to head in person the expedition' against Bridgeport. I started by a train of cars in the morning, followed by two additional regiments of in. (entry and two cornpanier of cavalry. I found that our pickets bad t•ngaged the enemy's Pickets:four miles from Bridgeport, and, after a short engagement, in Which we lost one man gilled, drove them across a stream, whose rail- Way bridge I had burned. With four regiments of infantry, two pieces Of artillery dragged by hand, and two compa nies of cavalry, at 8 o'clock Y. x,we advanced to the burnt bridge and opene our fire upon the enemy's pickets on the other side, thus Producing the impression that our advance would be by railway. This accomplished, the ebtire force was thrown amen the country ahout a mile, and put on the road leading from Stevenson to Bridgeport. The whole column now advanced at a very rapid rate. Oar cavalry scouts attacked those of the enemy, %nd forced them from the Bridgeprt road. ~ We thus imcceeded in making a complete surprise, and deliberately forming our line of battle on the crest of a wooded bill, v t thin five hundred yards of the works con acted to defend the bridge. At oar first fire, the guards broke and ran. bey attempted to blow up the main bridge, but failed. They then attempted to fire the further extremity of it, but the volunteers, at my call, rushed forward in-the face of their fire and saved the bridge from the island to the Main shore. Bat we could not save it. It is, however, of small moment, being only about 460 feet long. The prisoners taken report that five regi ments of infantry and 1,800 cavalry were ate tioned at the bridge. This campaign is ended, and I now occupy Huntsville in perfect security ; while over all of Alabama, north of the Tennessee river, floats no flag but that of the Union. • D.M.
