We .do this in connection with such countle
ss we can now recall, whose commissioners
now pay bounties. The list is worthy the
contemplation of the soldier. It ,proves alike
who are the friends of our fighting men, an()
who desire to see the war prosecuted wits

to pay bounties:

—We desire our friends throughout the
State to assist in making the list which we
thus start complete. Let the record show
who are the friends of the soldier. The ob
ject. is to ascertain which counties refused the
bounty to the men who are expected to make
up the quota for the 24,000 troops called for to
defend the honoi and the homes of r ennsyl
vania.
Emphatic and Explicit Terms of Esacdi.
The President of the United States has now
clearly and emphatically fixed the terms upon
whioh every rebel traitor can re-enter the
Union and become a faithful, loyal and de
voted upholder of Ihe purest and freest and
best Government in the world. There is no
mistaking the terms. We submit them as
follows:
"Rummy klasszoit, Weettniarox, July
18, 1684.—T0 whom it may concern: Any pro
position which 'embraces the restoration of
peace, the integrity of the Union and the
abandonment of slavery, And which comes by
and with authority that can control the annles
now at war against the United States, will be
received and considered by •the Executive
Government of the United States, and will be
met by liberal terms on other substantial and
collateral points, and the bearers thereof shall
100$11B safe conduct both ways.
'!ABRAHAM LINCOLN."
-41enceforth let those who claim to be
pewit.e men, sustain the noble propositions
thus made by the President, or hereafter ac
kiowledge that they are hypocrites. If the
traitors in the South, and their friends in the .
North, are desirous to stop the . effusion of
blood now flowing in the unholy effort to de
stroy the Union, let them all subscribe to the
tails of peace set forth by the President, and
the war will at once be brciuglit to a'cloge.
Tnz heaviest battery eVer mounted on a
man-of-war is now in the Mediterranean on
bead the United States steam frigate liiagara.
Ot twenty guns on her main . deck, there is
not one lees than a 11-inch,, Or a 100-poUnd
fact the real importance of which can
Only be .understood by professional men.
She is thus provided with the most perfect
long ranged piecea of_Ordnance extant. The
result of an encounter with ber would hardly
be petalled in the' '.history of naval fighting,
for no antic armament has been known before.
Her officers and men are well inured to sea
service. having been on board for several
months.
TSB Constitutional Convention pf Louisi
ana has completed its labor end the new Con
siltation will be submitted to the vote of the
people of the State on the bit Monday in Sep
tentbei. The instrument is liberal, providing
for a system of popular education such a 4
never was known in a Southern State; and it
relieves the State from the incubus of slavery.
The Era predicts its adoption by a large vote.
LLTE Georgia rebel papers oontabi some
items of interest. The existence of a "trea
sonable league" in Jefferson and the adjoining
counties of Alabama is reported, having for
its object the overthrow of the confederate
government and the formation of a paaaa and
constitutional Union party. Agents have been
sent to work- in the armies in Georgia and

General Grant said a few days ago—and that,

This is Grant's opinion, and he ought to
