HARRISBURG,
Saturday Afternoon, July 5, 1862.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE DOUGH-FACE
CONVANIION-A REMINISCENCE AND
A PROFITABLE EXAMPLE.
While we were casually looking on and list
ening to the proceedings of the Convention
which assembled and adjourned in this city yes
terday, a sight of the President of that body
recalled the past, and revived the incidents of
the political struggles that are now regarded
as having been the initial movements in the
great rebellion which has been convulsing the
country for more than a year. Francis W.
Hughes has a history in connection with the
politics of Pennsylvania, which no effort of his
own should have been left untried to smother
or at least not to have revived ; but as we find
him true to his antecedents, and emulous now
as heretofore to bring disgrace on his country,
by contributing to the deception of his coun
trymen, we cannot refrain from bringing up
the past and comparing it with the present con
dition of such locofoco leaders.
It is well established that the arrangements
and the plans of the leaders in the slave-hold
ers' rebellion, were in course of preparation
and secret development for many years. The
politicians of the south never made a move
ment, or supported a policy in any administra
tion, for the past thirty years, unless they
were convinced that by doing so, they would
be contributing to the success of their darling
efforts of nullification or secession. Thus, when
Henry Clay was nominated for the Presidency,
and when the hearts of the American people
were filled with admiration for his great service
and brilliant talents, the Democratic party
placed on their ticket James K. Polk, the in
ferior of Clay in talent, experience and patriot
ism as a statesman, and in no way to be com
pared to him as a friend and advocate of the mea
sures designed to advance the true interests and
develop the real wealth of the nation. Henry
Clay was the friend of the laboring man and me
chanic—not a friend by fulsome or idle adula
tion, but his advocate when capital or specu
lation sought the use of the energy of the one
or the genius of the other, at the sacrifice of
the vital welfare of both. In that contest,
Henry Clay would have carried New York and
Pennsylvania, had it not been for the frauds
and falsehoods of the leaders of the Democratic
party. In Pennsylvania, particularly, the
fraud was open and bold, by the declarations
of such men as Francis W. Hughes, who de
clared and insisted that "James S. Polk
was a bagr tariff man than Henry Clay." The in
fluence of Mr. Hughes, then, far exceeded hie
influence now, and the result was the elec
tion of Polk and Dines. What followed,
our readers fully understand as a portion of the
history of the country. When Pennsylvania
interests were at stake in the question of the
Tariff, when the interests and the industry of
all the free states were Involved in that ques
tion, by a treachery as base as that which now
arms itself for the assassination of loyal men,
those interests were sacrificed in the casting vote
of George M. Dallas, defeating the Tariff of
'46. Then followed that other Democratic
monstrosity, the admission of Texas, by which
the war with Mexico was provoked. All those
acts were links in the chain of that rebellion
which seeks to girdle and destroy the Union,
and the startling co-incident in the transaction is
the fact that the tool who played such an im
portant part in furthering the cause of slavery
and thus necessarily the cause of treason, turns
up now as the President of a Convention con
vened to give aid and comfort to traitors.
Francis W. Hughes, who so wantonly and un
scruplously sacrificed the laboring interests of
the whole North, by a fraud which defeated
the immortal Clay, will again attempt to play
his old game by insisting that men who openly
offered sympathy to armed conspirators, are as
loyal as those who are in the field perilling
their lives in a contest for the Union. We
wain the people in time against such tricksters.
Let Pennsylvania remember the frauds by
which her labor and her mineral and agricul
tural resources were sacrificed, and the fraud
now about to be perpetrated for the sacrifice of
the Union, will prove a most disgraceful failure.
Hos. THOMAS E. Coon:Etas seems to have
earned the resentment of the York Gazelle, for
some good action on his part, as that journal
takes peculiar delight in stating that the Re
publican Convention of Dauphin county refused
to instruct our delegates to the State Conven
tion in his favor for Auditor General. The
motive which induced this misstatement of
what is a well known fact, cannot of course be
reached by any explanation we may make, but
we nevertheless deem it due to Auditor General
Cochran to assure his friends in York county,
that the Republicans of Dauphin county not
only rejected a resolution which sought to re
lieve our delegates to the State Convention
from instruction, but jhey passed resolutions
unmistakably instructing those delegates in
favor of Thomas E. Cochran for Auditor Gen
eral. In this city Mr. Cochran is highly es
teemed for his virtues and manly accomplish
ments, by the society in which he moves, while
his official acts, since he has been at the bead
of the Auditor General's Department of the
Commonwealth, have.won for him a confidence
among those having business with his Depart
ment, such as few Auditor Generals heretofore
enjoyed. Will the Gazelle frankly state these
facts as due to an honorable citizen of York?
Hos. enema, W. HEGEKB, President Judge
of Schuylkill county, is dead. His funeral oc
curs to-day. He died at the residence of hie
sister, Mrs. Donnell, in Sunbury, 2d inst., aged
60 years.
A BASE ME EXPOSED
The plan adopted by the journals which first
opposed all the efforts to put down rebellion by
the force of arms, to embarrass the govern
ment in its present operations, is to array the
free white men of the north against the admin
istration of Abraham Lincoln, on the plea that
one of the results of the efforts thus to crush
treason, has been to fill the northern states
with hordes of emancipated or runaway slaves,
who are daily coming in competition with white
labor, and are threatening, of course, the de
struction of the white man's prosperity and
progress. Almost every Breckenridge organ
that we open contains an announcement or an
assertion of this character. The Patriot started
one of these stories by declaring that negroes
were employed to cut the grass in the capitol
grounds, when a large number of white men
were actually compelled to stand in idleness and
behold the more fortunate employment of the
negro. When we exposed this contemptible
fabrication, and showed that the negroes in
question were employed by a Democrat, the
Patriot refused in dogged silence to make an
explanation of its falsehood, and suffered its
paragraph on this subject to be circulated for the 1
delusion and the delight of the dough-face
Democracy.
Another story of the same description, and
which we believe was copied by the Patriot, is
to the effect that Messrs. Wood, Worrell Si Co.
had employed a number of "contrabands" In
tho Cambria iron works. This story has been
going the rounds of the locofoco press. It has
been magnified until many people believe that
negroes are actually crowding white men from
places of employment, thus degrading labor by
a reductioh of wages and threatening with
starvation the laboring men of Pennsylvania.
But the 'truth spoils the whole story, and an
expose shows that the firm alluded to, never
employed a single contraband, heretofore or
now, at the Cambria iron works. The entire
report and publication of such employment of
negroes was gotten up by the Democratic press
of Pennsylvania to mislead the honest laboring
men of the state into the support of a corrupt
combination about to be entered into for the
purpose of bringing the war to a close by humil
iating the national government. The labor is
worthy of the Democratic party, after it has
contributed the excuses for and the resources
to carry on rebellion.
THE TINE WILL CONE.
Not distant, it is to be hoped, is the day
when Great Britain can be informed by our
government that her colonial empire does not
embrace the United States. There is a rational
limit to patient forbearance in national affairs.
Offensive and impertinent as the language of
the public men of Great Britian has constantly
been respecting affairs on this side the Atlantic,
the manner in which the government and peo
ple of England have acted towards the federal
authority, caps the climax, and leaves their
action without a parallel in the intercourse of
nations. From first to last, Great Britian has
been our cringing or our domineering enemy..
British statesmen have decried American pro
gram, until the misrepresentations of the
British Parliament on this subject have excited
the contempt and ridicule of the world. British
journals have belied American prowess and
valor in battle, American genius and energy in
industry, art and science, until the perversity
with which this species of lying has been car
ried on, proved to the people of this country and
to the world, that Englishmen are as prompt
to slander a rival as they are prone to oppress
an unequal contestant in the race of nations.—
The time will come ere long when this intoler
ably meddlesome disposition of Great Britain
will be resented in another manner. The tem
per toward us is annstantly unfriendly ,captious,
quarrel seeking. It has been manifested in all
possible modes, short of open hostility. Neu
trality has been a cover for aid and encourage
ment to the rebellion. The real partiality for
the rebel cause is hardly disguised. As the re
bellion draws towards its close, the minds of the
people will he turned to unsettled balances with
the European powers. What energies would
be evoked in a quarrel with Great Britain let,
those compute who know the intensity of Irish.
hatred against Ireland's oppressor.
A MILITARY ITEM.
The Home Guard of the State must amount
to within ten or fifteen thousand men, and ad
ded to these there are not less than fifteen or,
twenty thousand more able men, who have
heretofore been attached to military organiza
tions, and who fully understand the routine of
the drill and the use of arms. Thus then, allow
ing a falling off from these combined numbers,,
of five thousand men, for reasons which cannot
now be assigned, there would be left a force of
thirty thousand men, ready at once for active
duty. Thirty thousand men perfect in the man
ual—possessing a knowledge of what is requir
ed of a soldier, would not need much train
ing for field services. An appeal to these men,
that there services are imperatively demanded
in the field, will have the effect of bringing
them forward, as our other contributions were
made, with little delay and great enthusiasm.
Thirty thousand men, thus sent forward in a
few days or even weeks, by Pennsylvania,
would change affairs in the south, and un
doubtedly put an end to the war. Will these
efficient and gallant Pennsylianians think of
this most important truth. The safety of the Re
public is in their hands. God and future gen
erations will hold them responsible for that
safety. In the name of God and our country,
then, let this responsibility be promptly met
and gallantly discharged.
STONEWALL JACKSON seems to have certainly
expiated his crimes as a traitor on the battle
field instead of the gallows. There is no doubt
of his death, and thus the rebel cause is de
prived of the services of a desperate villain as
well as an officer of great capacity and enter
prise. He was born in the state of Georgia.—
His proper name was Thomas Jefferson Jackson,
and how he obtained his sobriquet of "Stone
wall," is a matter of uncertainty. We believe
that it originally belonged to a brigade of Vir
ginia rebels which he commanded. His activi
ty, however, made him a division commander,
and finally the leader of an army. He sus
tained three severe defeats in the course of his
pennspluania ;Daily 4 1telegrapth liaturbag 'Afternoon, in 5, 1862.
operations. The first was administered by
Patterson's corps at Falling Waters, the second
by Shields at Winchester, and the third by
Fremont at Grass Keys. But his successful ef
forts were telling. The first was his winter
raid from Winchester to Martinsburg, Romney,
Bath, fincock and other places, a fearful
march, which threw many hundreds of hismen
into the hospitals. The second was his pursuit
of Banks'through the Shenandoah valley, after
attacking Milroy in the mountains. His suc
cessful return through the valley, fighting Fre
mont at Cross Keys, and Shields at Port Re
public, was even . more remarkable. These
were efforts at swift marching and shrewd ma
noeuvre, and though he achieved successes he
filled the Virginia towns with his disabled sol
diers. The latest number of the Richmond
Dispatch received says, that "the hospitals in
around Charlottesville are filled with the
wounded soldiers of Jackson's command, and
they continue to arrive."
We find by reference to the Richmond Ex
miner's account of the battle of Monday, that
the rebels admit a defeat. The Restrainer says
that Gen. Hill retreated amid the vociferous
cheers of the Yankees, and that out of a divi
sion of 14,000 men he lost 8,000. This was
the battle of White Oak Swamp. The rebels
say that it took place five miles north-east of
Dortown, on the New Market road. For ten
long and terrible hours the battle raged, and it
appears that, notwithstanding all our losses,
they were exceeded by those of the enemy, and
we gained the victory. The Pennsylvania Re
serves were in the thickest of this fight, they
had been in the two previous battles at Beaver
Darn and Gaines' Mille. Their losses in all
these engagements were very severe. They in
clude the commander of the division, M'Call,
and the commanders of two brigades, Reynolds
and Meade, and about half their rank and file
all told.
Our brave Pennsylvanians seem to have been
always under fire in this series of battles, and
always, too, in the front of danger. They
stood it like heroes, until at last they were
thoroughly worn out. We expected them to
do their duty, and they have proved that our
trust was not misplaced ; but we cannot repress
a feeling of sorrow for their terrible sufferings,
though their good old State gathers fresh lau
rels from their heroism. It is gratifying to
find that the noblest tributes to their gallantry
in all these battles were paid by the correspon
dents of New York newspapers, which journals
are not much in the habit of praising anything
belonging to Pennsylvania. Their generous
justice in this instance deserves special men
tion.
GOP. STANLEY AT WASHINGTON, N. C.
The speech of Gov. Stanly, on the 17th ult.,
at Washington, N. C., as republished in full
from the Newbern (N. C.) Progress, contains,
in a great variety of forms, an asseriton that
he is authorized to stay, at present, the advance
of our armies into North Carolina, but that he
• cannot much longer restrain our military forces,
if the people of that state do not voluntarily
return to their allegiance. He says:
"I come to do good. I shall not be able to
control armies forever, nor stay the uplifted
band. Unless you soon show a disposition to
accept of honorable terms, the war will go on,
and the army will be forced to march inward.
" Why did Mr. Lincoln send met I did not
vote for him. He knew that I was born among
you, and would stand between you and all
harm, and be able to suggest such terms as you
could honorably accept. I come with the ol
ive branch, and stand, for the time being, be
tween you and the powerful armies of the Re
public, whose onward march will sweep you
under and necessarily destroy your institutions
when brought in contact with opposing forces.
Soon it will be too late for you to accept of my
honorable terms. Then events must be left to
the harsh and cruel necessities of the justice
which is vindicated by the sword."
And again:
"If this war continues, look at the conse
quences—see what has already taken place, see
what must follow. In Newborn there are
nearly five thousand slaves ; they are here ;
more continue to come. Should the war con
tinue, and the .Federal army is obliged to advance
into the interior, then will the consequences be upon
y our own heads; then your institutions, and
everything you have and own, will necessarily
be in peril.'
And again :
"Mr. Lincoln is no abolitionist. He is the
best friend the South has got. Look at his
proclamation to Hunter. It is full of meaning.
"If you will not take these things into your
own hands, you must abide by the conse
quences. Your ports and custom-houses can
be opened in less than thirty days. lam here
for your benefit, to get you out of a bad scrape
and bring you back to your allegiance. Tell
your leaders what I say. Go and tell the peo
ple what I have said.
"If this war lasts, what is to be done ? What
will be your condition ? I cannot say how long
I can remain with you, or how long it wilt be in my
power to avert the alproaelling dangers. My in
terests calls me away ; my affections and hope
of doing good keep me here. The Administra
tion wants peace. The Government did not
commence the war. lam no agent of abolition
Generals. When required to be such I will
leave you and return with a heavy heart. I
will do nothing unbecoming a Christian gentle
man and patriot."
We have no sort of doubt that Governor
Stanley tells the truth when he says that he
has exerted his influence to prevent the march
of our armies into North Carolina, and that he
has done so from an apprehension of injury to
slavery, which institution, as an enemy of
abolitionism, he feels desirous to protect.. We
should believe it, if he did not admit it, just as
we believe that General Sherman, when in
command at Port Royal, was restrained from
advancing by the same cousideration,and upon
the view that "the time had not yet come."
Governor Stanley does not say, and we do
not believe, that he had any directions from
the President to exercise a restraining influ
ence upon our armies, in the interest of any
such policy.
TEN EIGHTY-FOURTH AI4D ONE HUNDRED AND
Turn Rzartaxmrs.—The Eighty-fourth Pennsyl
vania, Col. Bowman, and the One Hundred and
Tenth, Col. W. D. ewis, have been ordered to
recruit. These regiments have been under fire
six times, and in four hard fought battles, and
most gallantly did they sustain for bravery and
courage, the reputation of the State. They
will be succeeded, it is expected, by the Ninety
first, Col. Gregory, and the Ninety-ninth, Col.
Leidy. These two regiments have been sta
tioned at Washington for some months, and
the men are delighted to learn that they are
to be placed in active service. CA. Bowman
of the Eighty-fourth, is from Illinois, and a
graduate of West Point. He was appointed by
Gov. Curtin to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of the lamented Col. Murray, of Holli
daysburg.

Founses Morruou, July 3
At ten o'clock this morning the Nellie Baker
arrived at Fortress Monroe from Harrison's
Landing, she having left there at five o'clock
this morning.
She brings down twenty-five rebel prisoners,
and has only a few wounded on board.
The most terrific fighting took place on
Tuesday, and with the most brilliant success.
The rebels were defeated in every action and
the rebel officers taken prisoners admit the loss
of at least ten thousand men on that day.—
Our artillery was most successfully brought to
bear nearly all day, while the rebels did but
little execution with theirs.
Our loss was very small when compared with
that of the rebels. The fighting on both sides
was of the most desperate character. As a
part of the rebel force were cut to pieces, other
fresh troops were immediately marched for
ward to fill their places.
They appear to disregard the lives of their
men and place, and hold them under the hot
test fire of our artillery, which was sweeping
them to pieces as fast as they arrived.
The enemy have been repulsed and driven
back in every fight for the last three days—
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Yesterday the enemy advanced about 8
o'clock in the morning and opened fire, which
was instantly returned, and severe fighting on
both sides was kept up for 3 hours, when the
enemy retreated with considerablizi loss, and
badly cut up by our artillery.
This was the last fighting up to 6 o'clock
this morning.
Our troops are in fine spirits, end never were
more anxious to fight than they are now.—
Most of our wounded express a desire to recover
speedily, that they oan again return to their
regiments. All seem to be very anxious to be
present when Richmond is taken.
The steamer John Brooks has arrived with
four hundred wounded, and will this evening
leave for Annapolis.
The 'Vanderbilt and Arrowsmith have also
arrived with about seven hundred additional
wounded in the former, and three hundred in
the latter.
LATER.
WABEUNGTON, July s.—The latest ad vices at
the War Department from General McClellan's
army are dated nine o'clock yesterday morn
ing, up to which time there had been no fight
ing since Tuesday.
Gen. Dix reports the arrival of 538 rebel
prisoners, being a part of those taken during
the late battles. Among, them are several
colonels and majors.
Gen. Dix has ordered all civilians away from
Fortress Monroe, and no person will be per
mitted to pass to that point or the army of the
Potomac, except those connected with the mili
tary or naval service of the United States.
STILL LATER.
WAsninoToN, June 5
Dispatches have beeu received from General
McClellan dated as late as one o'clock P. M., on
Friday the Fourth of July.
The following is the substance, omitting mil
itary details and operations not proper for pres
ent publication.
There has been no fighting since Thursday
night, when the enemy were repulsed with
great loss.
The gamy moved to the position now oc
cupied because it affords greatly superior ad
vantages for the co-operation of the gun-boats,
of which seventeen are now in the river pro
tecting the army.
The statements of the casnalities of the eight
day's fighting cannot yet be furnished. Our
forces were not beaten in any conflict, nor
could they be driven from the field by the ut
most efforts of the enemy.
The conduct of the troops in every command
and under all circumstances was admirable.
No guns have been lost since the engagement
on Friday, June 29th, when General McCall's
division was at the onset overwhi 1 lied by su
perior numbers and several pieces i, into the
bands of the enemy.
The sick and wounded are being sent for
ward to the hospitals.
At one o'clock yesterday, the Fourth, the
army was drawn up in its positions for review.
Bands were playing, national salutes were fired,
and everything looking bright.
FORTRESS Momma, July 2.
A boat arrived at Fortress Monrae last
night, which left Hardy's Landing yesterday,
at 1 p. In., and up to that hour there had been
no fighting for the day in sight and hearing
of the gunboats or the landing.
FORPRISS Mosnoa, July 2, 9 P. n.—Col. C.
Boss Smith, who is connected with the reserve
cavalry, informs me that their force, number
ing over 4,000, have all arrived here this
morning.
This command with the flying artillery and
about fifteen hundred infantry were placed
under command of Gen. Stoneman to attend
to the removal of Government property at the
White House. They saw it all safely removed
and the building destroyed, and on Saturday
evening they left the White House, after ship
ping all the goods and their infantry, fifteen
hundred, retreated to Williamsburgotrriving
there early on Sunday morning.
From thence they went to Yorktown, where
they shipped their artillery. The men are in
good health and spirits, and have lost only
two of their number, who were taken while
on picket duty.
They represented the expedition as admir
ably planned by Gen. Stoneman. The cavalry
consists of the 6th United States, two squadrons
of the old dragoons or first cavalry, and two
squadrons of the 6th Pennsylvania Lancers.
The cavalry, infantry and artillery in all
number about three thousand men, and many
of them have been erroneously reported cap
tured. It was believed to be so in the main
army.
Rebel Account of the Battles of Mon
day and Tuesday.
I=l
TERRIBLE SLAUGHTER
EIGHT THOUSAND REBELS LOST IN A
SINGLE DIVISION.
No Fight on Wednesday or Thursday.
The Richmond papers of July 2d furnish a
number of items with regard to the battle of
Monday. They say that on Sunday Gens. Hill
and Longatreet, with their divisions, crossed
the Chickahominy, and late on Monday after
noon attacked the enemy about five miles
north-east of Dartown, on the New Market
road.- The conflict was terrrole, but by half
past 8 o'clock the enemy had been driven a
mile and a half. At half-past 9, the enemy
being heavily reinforced, made another stand.
The loss on our (the rebel) side was terrible.—
The situation being evidently powerless against
such overpowering forces, Gen. Hill slowly re
treated, amid the vociferous cheers of the Yan
kees.
The Examiner says that it thinks that the
division which went into the fight on Monday
15,000 strong, could only muster 6,000 men for
duty, and that the loss exceeds that of any
battle or siege yet fought. At 8 o'clock, a.
m., on Tuesday, Jackson and Huger's divisions
attacked Gen. McClellan's left flank on the
west bank of the Chickahominy, seventeen
miles from Richmond. Later in the day, Gen.
Magruder fell upon his right flank.
Fighting was going on up to nine o'clock on
Tuesday night, Heavy firing from the gun
boats on James River was heard on Tuesday
morning. A number of Federal transports are
in the river, with reinforcements from General
Burnside, but they have not yet landed.
The above extracts, from the Examiner, relate
to Tuesday's battle, in which, according to
General McClellan's dispatch, received yester
day, the rebels were badly whipped.
Advices received at the War Department,
show that there was no fighting on the Penin
sula on Wednesday or Thursday, up to 5 SO P. N.

ARRIVAL OF WORMED SOLDIRRS.
The steamers Louisiana and Vanderbilt ar
rived at this port yesterday, bringing 1,300

in Washington and vicinity. Many were able
to walk to and from the ambulances.
Our citizens readily assisted in the work of
removal. The patients are the recipients of
good care and kind attentions, and the ladies
have entered into the humane service with
zeal.

THE GOVERNOR'S PROCLAMATION.
An Appeal to the Patriotism of the People
PENNSYLVANIA, SS
In the name and by the authority of the Common
®wealth of reNNSyilNittia, ANDREW G. CUR
TIN, Governor of said Commonwealth:
A PROCLAMAIION
More men are required for the suppression of
the Rebellion. Our regiments in the Reid are
to be recruited to their original strength, and
in addition new regiments are to be formed.
Pennsylvania has hitherto done her duty to
the country. Her freemen are again called on
to volunteer in her defence, that the blood of
her sons who have already fallen, may not
have been shed in vain, and that we may hand
down to our posterity the blessings of Union
and civil and political liberty, which we derived
from our fathers.
The number of men now required, and the
regulations for the enlistment, will be made
known forthwith in General Orders. Mean
while the men of Pennsylvania will hold them
selves in readiness for prompt compliance with
the necessary demand upon their gallant and
patriotic spirit.
Our noble Commonwealth has never yet
faltered, and must stand firm now when he r
honor and everything that is dear to her are at
stake.
Given under my hand and the great seal of
the State, at Harrisburg, this fourth day of
July, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Com
monwealth the eighty-seventh.
By the Governor,
ELI SLIFER,
Secretary of the Commonwealth,
