CONSCIEN2IOUS.
We know of no other word more appropriate
for the heading of a paragraph introducing the
followldg letter from the Hon. Henry Et:
Moore, State Treasurer. The writer, whoever
he may be, has done a noble act, whether he
designed that his tender of $l,OOO should go to
the relief of the defenders of the Union con
tributed by Pennsylvania, or whether he thus
seeks to liquidate an old indebtedness to the
oommr nwealth, of which there is no record in
the accounting offices of the state. We trust
that this public acknowledgment of the receipt
of the sum referred to, will add to the pleasure
which the performance of this act of justice
must be to its author:
TRIABURY DBPARTWINT OF PRINFIECTLVANLL,
Barrisbury, July 1, 1862.
I received an anonymous letter to-day, post
marked "New York," which leads as follows:
"Pau ths enclosed to the credit of your noble patriotic
State: 'Cis her due." This letter contalti'ed a $l,OOO
United States Treasury note of the legal tender
Issue. Whether this thousand dollars came from
one who considered himself indebted that Much
to the State, or whether it was sent as a patriotic
gift, I am unable' to say ; but in either case, it is
a compliment to our good old Cominanwealth,
and I know of no other manner in which I can
acknowledge its receipt to my unknown corres
pondent, than by a public announcement of the
same. Yours, &c.,
HENRY D. MOORE,

OUR SSOsAI NZIGHBORS must have hqd anoth
er attack of the "intlatuatory," when they
•oncocted their "Baltimore Correspondence."
Beaten in a very small enterprise, and chi•
grined that they wer.. compelled to publish
facts which had appeared in the TELEGRAPH
twenty-four hours before, they manufactured a
letter purporting to have been written in Balti
more, that they might again indulge their ly
ing prapeueity and give the government a stab.
The idea held lorth by the letter in the Patriw,
that Baltimore is as distingni hed for its loyal
ty as any other city in the Union, seems to
have been derived from the fact that its wo
men spit into the faces of Union men, and its
through that city on their way to the defence
of the national capital. When the pimps who
hang around the Patriot office desire to concoct
another "Baltimore Correspondence," it would
be well fur them to be more careful of their
dates and circumstances, so as to give some
oolor of god to their efforts. And alien
the proprietors of the Patriot suffer their sloth
to fall behind the industry of other people,
they should be content with their case and not
disgust. the, public by the tame explanation
that the news was "contraband." We publish

common sense must see that Slave property is
bound to depreciate, whether the confederacy
becomes a EIIICOBB, or whether it goes to rnin,
which Is now certain. The capital invested in
negroes has already depreciated almost one
half ; and the depreciation will continue until
investment, la human flesh becomes as worth
less ea stock in an air line to the moon. Those
who oppose emancipation are those who defend
slavery for the political, power with which it
eloi hes the south, and such as these•are mainly
in the rebel army. The limited number of those,
who defend and persist in perpetuating slavery
with all Its ; , political evils and social corrup
tions, are fat giving envy to their prejudices,
by taking np arms with the common traitors,
or they are yielding - to obey force of public
opinion on the subject, and profess to regard
emancipation as one of the necessities of the
war.

Tasssorr rx CliggriOotnarrY.—The Democrats
(so-called) of Chester county held a meeting at
We Chester on Monday, for the purpose of
electing delegates to the (so-called) Democratic
State Convention. Speeches were made against
the administration, the war and emancipation,
and against 'paying the wdr taxes. If Fort

FOREWARNED, .FOREARHED !
We have frequently alluded to the fac: that
the spirit in which the position of certain pro
minent politicians in this state is maintained,
indicates more than a desire to re-organize what
was once a powerful political organization.—
These Democratic leaders are not merely anxious
to reorganize the Democratic party, for the
purpose, as a political body, of contending with
treason, and through the influence of certain
principles, seek the correction of the evils
which first prompted, the south to revolt. If
this was the object in seeking such a re-organi•
zation, we might possibly discover some good
in the movement, and for the benefit of the
Union, we might be induced to approve such a
purpose. But those who seek a . revival of the
Democratic party are as much opposed to the
administration of Abraham Lincoln as Davis
and all his followers, and they seek power for a,
the very same purposes for which the south
armed its masses. The achievement of mere
local success, is not the only end, either, of the
revival Of Democracy, and the people will have
discovered this fact, the moment they lend
themselves to the machinations of the men
now boasting of their conservatism and devo
tion to the Constitution. Let the loyal states,
elect a majority of Congressmen opposed pond:
cally to the administration of Abraham Lincoln,'
and the Congress which they must compose
would signalize its first act by depriving that
administration of the means to carry on the
war for the Union. Let a Congress of Demo
crate be organized, let the people place the le
gislative power of the country in the hands of
such,men as Vallandigham of Ohio, Biddle of
Pennsylvania, Voorhees .of Indiana, and we
have no doubt that the war will at once be
ended—ehded to the disgrace of the country,
and the humiliation of the national authority.
On these points, the people of Pennsylvania,
we think; need no further developments to
convince them of the necessity of meeting and
counteracting the:efforts of the leaders of De
mocracy to re-organize that party. - it rests
entirely with the people to' decide whether
such an organization shall be effected by such
men,! and. while thus alluding to the men at
tempting Ibis organization, the question as to
their antecedents suggests itself. Who are the
men thus attempting to revive the rotten
carcass of a rotten party, and breathe into r ite
palsied limbs the breath of 4 .11fe Every:rrari
of them has in some shape attempted to
cripple -the efforts of the national adminis
tration. They have attempted to do this in
Congress, and; through the ,columns of the
newepapele which they have been able to con
trol. They first decried enlistment as a vio
lation of the Constitution, becatise it sought
o to
cocice men from the exercise of their sovereign
rights. They next denouncestaxation, be
cause it asked a portion of the great resources
of the American people to preserve the Ameri
can Union. Having failed in these efforts, and
seeing that our armies are crowded with the
best men in the land, and that taxation is de
manded by the people as the fairest way to
equalise the burden of the war, the same men
,ize the Dam -
cratic party, on the plea that ev at Wll
add to the strength of the government by pro
viding additional guards against corruption and
malfeasance in office. Heaven protect the pu
rity of the government when such guards be
come necessary for its preservation !
We must not only meet, but we must coun
teract the influence of this conspiracy and at
tempt at rebellion in the north—because we
hold that every mauls guilty of treason who
voluntarily and willingly, after the facts are
known to him, enters a political organiza
tion whose only purpose is to embarrass the
government. Every sane man roust understand
the fact that this is the only object of 'the re
organization of the Democratic party. The men
who seek such a consumation are the old enemies of
the Union, who, in lead of Breckenridge, sought
to give force to that enmity. Let this fact constant
ly be kept before the people. And let it be re
membered that*hile we battle against these lo
cal political conspirators, we are alsomobly strug
gling against that other great conspirady which
aims at the entire destruction of the govern
ment
RICHMOND AND Cnaziaiterox both, the two
great centers of rebellion, will be in the pos
session of the'federal trbope ere many days.—
Slow but sure, are the advances oh each. The
surrender of Richmond is ascertain as any fu
ture event. McClellan's tactics. may lack celer
ity, but they never fail of the certain result.
With or without the desired reinforcements, at
tacked by dashing columns, or approaching by
slow parallels and unmolested, the possession of
Richmond is a foregone conclusion to General
McClellan.
So of Charleston. It is not easily, taken by
direct assault, either from land or water. The
channel approaches are difficult and require
skillful pilotage or slow feeling the way by
soundings. But there is , not this, afternoon,
in the city of: Charleston,,a head so " full of
foolish dreams" as to doubt the certain surreS
der ef the city. Whether It be to-day, to-mor
row, or even a week hence, may serve as a
point fur discretion. .:But the our-co the
occupation of the city and the possession of the
forts by the United States, is not doubtfuP to
say one having eyes to see and brains to com
prehend. I ,‘ Slow but sure," as the mills grind;
the result is doubtful to no mortal forecast.
"And then r We do not say that then the
war is ended. Fools and madmen may att, am pt
to protract it by guerrilla bands, and mircella

not war, but simply land piracy. Until such
pirates are eupprassed, it. may be said the war
is not over. But there is a short way of deal=
log' with ardent soldiers of this sort. They are
entitled to no soldierly consideration as ,priso
ners ; the cord and the, bough, or quicker yet,
the bullet, can settle terms of peace with such
acoundrals.
There are persoits who imagine that a syatem
of guerrilla warfare can be maintained for years,
and that meantime • the peace-of the whole

THE ENEMY DECEIVED AND EN
TRAPPED.
The Gun Boats Operating with the Army
By the arrival of a gunboat from the James
river fleet, the anxiety felt about (den. McClel
lan's army is at last relieved, and we have been
shown how masterly the young chieftain has
accomplished a most difficult manoeuvre, and
out generaled the rebels two to one.
Of the past three days fighting which has
been going on in front of Richmond, we have
had the most exaggerated accounts, but the
news of to day set at rest all doubts relative to
General McClellan's brilliant achievement, had
there any existed.
It appears that when the rebels made their
attack on our right, the plans for a flank move
/bent of oer army had already been matured.
In order to deceive the enemy a stout resistance
was offered by our right wing, which alwa3
kept falling back, drawing on the enemy as it
retired.
By excellent generalship this wing fell back
upon Gen. McClellan's left wing and this was
the crowning movement of the matured plan.
Our fleet on the James river is partially station
ed at City Point and can assist in protecting
Gen. MeClellau's army and all his stores.

AFTERNOON. •
Special Despatches to The rest.]
I have arrived hers safely, in company with
Gen:'Stoneman and staff and General Casey
and staff, who are here, it is said, under special
orders:
•
You have no doubt been apprised of the
great confusion existing here, and naturally
attendant upon 'he crowding of vessels into
the harbor from White House Point.
The affair of Saturday last partook more of
the nature of a battle than the engagements
of Thursday or Friday. gen. Fitzjohn Porter
has covered himself with glory. He selected a
very strong position, and, having posted his
forces in an admirable manner, was prepared to
hold it against any force of the enemy. The
brave men of this command all. fought with
heroic courage, and the volunteers vied with
Gen: Sykes' regulars in making steady move
ments' and carefully executing the commands
of their officers.
linie and again, vast hordes of rebels moved
up in solid columns upon our troops, but our
regular batteries as often mowed them down
in a most destructive manner. Steady dis
charges of shell, grape and canister in regular
salvos,seemed to sweep down whole companies.
As soon as confusion in the rebel ranks was
apparent,' General Porter ordered General
Meagher's Irish Brigade to Charge bayonets,
which:they did in the most gallant and heroic
style, tare-headed, in their shirt sleeves, occa
sionally with these rolled up.
This charge had an excellent effect. The reb
els were driven back with great slaughter, and
General Porter was preparing to move upon
them over the piles of the rebel dead and dying,
when the enemy again advanced steadily,
strongly reinforced. -
Now. the Pennsylvanians give them the bene
fit of their splendid rifles, while the bat
teries played upon them as before, creating and
havoc. Indeed, the slaughter upon otherfields
during this war has never been anything to
compare to this. The rebels staggered under
their losses, and our forces were advancing
steadily upon them, drivingthem back at every
point, when a staff officer rode up with an or
der frdm the commander-in-chief to Gm. Por
ter, directing him to fall back with his com
mend, And cram the Chickabominy.
The order was execied in fine style, and our
troops; did not miss a man, the enemy being
too severely punished to follow us closely.
The only difficulty was with the Pennsylvania
Reserves and Meagher's Irishmen—their com
manders exerting all their powers to induce
these brave men to cease firing. They saw the
advantages gained by hard fighting, and they
were abxious to follow up the success.
All the troops meat be praised for heroic gal
lantry in this affair, but the regulars must have
especial notice. General Sykes, the lamented
Me,} r Russel, the 3d, 4th, and 14th Infantry,
behaved admirably.
Gen. Porter thought he would be reinforced,
and ordered to advance upon Richmond
forthwith, but it, was not so designed, and he
fell back, as ordered, promptly.

I embarked with many others on board of

our vessel was too large to mope down the
river in safety at night, we dropped anchor in
sight of White House Point. ',:he houses
burned on all night, and the scene presented
was one of the grandest I ever beheld. The

Special Correspondence of the New York Tribunej
FORTRESS MONROE, kionday,•June 30
•
During last night a large number of steam
ers, towboats, and sail craft arrived from York
River. An immense fleet is still behind—in all
not less than five hundred sail, This Was the
prize fur which the Rebels struck at White
House, and which eltided them completely.—
Probably not to exceed $lOO,OOO wpith of prop
erty was destroYed'to prevent it falling into the
enemy's hands, consisting of whisky, pork,
corn, locomotives, and a small number of arms.
The entire fleet wiliproceed up James River
as soon as practicable. , Quartermaster Ingalls,
who arrived at SP. M. yesterday, left during
the night to go up the James River. This
morning, information has been received that
the gunboats have established communication with
McClellan's left wing, so that all uneasiness rela
tive to the new base is at an end. The point
on James River will be a short distance below
Drury's Bluff, some ten or twelve miles from
Richmond.
As yet we are without particulars of the ope•
ratious of the army for nearly four days, fur
ther than a dispatch from a high source ac
knowledges that the change of line had been
attended with a serious reverse." Of what

•
W theut apprehensions, and await tidings with
no little anxiety. Others take a hop,-tut and
more confident view, trim the fact that the
change of line by McClellan, though with some
serious conseqUences to hims-lf, has divided
the enemy, by placing some 80,000 on the bft
bank of the Chickahotniny, with the bridges
deatroyed, and no means ot obtaining supplies.
While this theory is encouraging, it is not suf
ficient to rest any great degree ot confidence on,
since the rebels have unquestionably been re
cently reinforced. •
We have no tidings of what was McClellan's
loss, though there is some reason for believing
that it was not as serinna as first supposed.
Persons who left the front latest on Friday
evening, report that among the leading com
manders it was conceded that the reault.of the
operatroni of the day were unsatisfaCtury, and it
was expected the'conflict would be renewed the
following morning. It is kuown that McClel
lan's plan was to throw his left against the
enemy's right, and if possible to*Press forward
to Richmond. There are wild rumors that he
has succeeded, but they can be traced to no
trustworthy source.

L•AT.EIR.
The armed naval tug Dragon arrived ,from
the upper water of James river, about midday
to-day, with &patches from Flitg-Officer Golds
borough, who immediately consulted with Gen.
Dix. Their tenor is understood to be that Gen.
McClellan's right was attacked with great im
petuosity by. Stonewall Jackson, whose
almostmen,
with most •mooneeliable 'contage;-successful
ly charged our artillery, sustaining a loss in
the exploit ef,probahly not less than.s,ooo men.
Our lona was very severe. -It was reported that
Jackson was killed ; that one of our Briga
dier - Generals was taken prisoner, togeth
er with an entire regiment. General
Fitz. John Porter, sorely pressed, ' crossed
to the right, or • western side of the Chick
hominy, the enemy taking the left. On
his left, McClellan, with much severe fighting,
'had penetrated and passed through White-Oak
Swamp, with 40,000 men and 100 pieces of ar
tillery, to a secure and advantageous position,
and had subsequently cut through a line of com
munication with the. James River. It is re-
Ported that, during the two days fighting, Mc-
Clellao's loss was 10,000, Under this head we
have no particulors whatever. Col. Alexander
had come through to James River to select the
new base, and Turkey bend had been decided
on. This is not far front 30 miles from-Rich

The moet - priaminditt '4l.d iMportant feature:
covered by the reports* is; -that • `.gcbiellan' has
succeeded in penetrating White Oak Swamp,
and in placing a very large force on the other
side of it. While . this must have advanced a
heavy body of his best troops to within four
