Andrew Johnson,
Adjournment of the Legislature.
The extra session of the Legislature termi
nated to-day at eleven o'clock. Some seventy
different local bounty bills, together with a
general bill on the same subject, two differ
ent supplements to the military bill, a sup
plement to the revenue bill, and a bill pro
viding for the reception of tho votes from sol
diers in service, comprise the principal bills
passed. The military bill, as now a law, is
said to be an efficient one, and we hope that
it may be enforced without further delay. .
Speaker of the Senate.
The term of office for which Speaker Pen

tall the Speaker's chair with honor to himself

AN ATTEMPT To DIGNLFX A CONCLAVE. 0F
Taarrons.--Some of • the most desperate and
deluded copperhead organs in the interior of
the State, are working very hard to make Sen
sation in advance for the conclave of traitors
which will assemble at Chicago on Mon
day next. Among the falsehoods . , coined
and circulated to give importance to that as
sembly, is one to the effect that the President
has ordered a large military force to Chicago
for the purpose of over-awing and intimidat
ing the dough-face Democracy. Bah ! The.
police of Chicago will be able to deal with the
plotters who are to constitute the copperhead
National Convention. No doubt all sorts of
treason will be enunciated in that body--no
doubt men will meet thera, sworn to do thsYr
dirtiest work to aid the rebellion--and we
.have no doubt that these wretches will yet
receive their due from a Government which
hey are daily contemning and outraging. The
time will come when such meetings as the
approaching Chicago Convention, like the
meeting of traitors in the entrenchments of
Petersbrirg, - will be beleaguered and invested
by a gallant, loyal and patriotic people.
Therefore, let the Northern traitor be patient.
This dmezoill come quicker than he now dreams of
its approach or arrival.
Tan Frsurso Cuzzs WAR.—The Wilkes
barre Record of the 'limes, of the 24th ult.,
says 'that on Sunday the troops at Blooms
burg, four companies of infantry, two of
cavalry, with two ten pounder guns, marched
out some twelve miles on the way to Fishing
Creek. On Monday they would probably
meet the rebels. From all accounts it is gath
ered that some six hundred discontented citi
zens of Columbia and counties adjacent are
in arms, but they will probably disband on
the approach of the troops, and take to the
woods, or go quietly to their homes. That
any number of citizens not drafted will risk
the charge of the United States troops, or the
worse charge of being traitors, we cannot
believe. The deserters must stand alone or
desert again.
—These demonstrations are the direct re
sult of the teachings of those who believe in
State rights, and who .have devoted them
selves for three years, in connection with
their traitor political allies of the South, to
overthrow the Government.
Tits REPOSITORY AND TRANSCRIPT reached
our sanctum this morning, for the first time
since the wanton, brutal and unprovoked
burning of Chambersburg. It contains a
concise but accurate and ably written history
of the facts and circumstances attending the
destruction of property in and around Cham
bersburg, which of itself will constitute one
of the saddest chapters in the history of the
war. Col. BrClure also devotes several edito
rial columns to the same subject, paying his
respects to the New York editorial libellers
of Pennsylvania in that scathing sarcasm for
which the gallant lirClure is so peculiar.
We welcome the Repository back to its old
field of labor and of triumphs, and bespeak
for its publishers a support and a success
which will soon replace them in that prosper
ous condition where a traitor foe found them
when he applied the torch to their establish
ment.

Gen. lie•nnatir s Address.
Some days since, the New York limes con
tained a letter written by Gen. Seymour, late
a prisoner of war in the hands of traitors.—
We have been patiently waiting for room in
our columns to print, this letter entire, but a
press of matter renders ,this impossible, and
we therefore content ourselves with the phb
lication of a condensation of his soldiery and
frank production, reviewing as it does in a
most able manner, the position of affairs in
the North. It makes dae allowance , for the
earnestness of the rebels, and shows that it
has only been from indifference on the part of
the loyalpeople of the North that the rebel
lion was not long ago brought to a termina
tion. From an intimate knowledge of their
condition, he claims thht the confederate
cause 'is fast failing froth tethemstion, and
that at present they are engaged in a desper
ate but almost hopeless effort for success to
come from some unknown source. The tenor
of the General's letter is, in effect, that, as an
army of occupation, we have always needed
more men in the field; and that, when success
was almost within our grasp, our deficiency,
in that respect, was more apparent. He says :
Glance et the summer's campaigns. If
Sherman had but 50,000 or 75,000 more men
near, the South would be lost, because Hood
would be annihilated. If Meade had moved
in the spring with reserves , of 75,000-or 100,-
000 men, Lee would have been, hopelessly
crushed. Even at this-moment a - third col
umn of 40,000 to 50,000 rightly moved, would
give unopposed blows to the Confederacy
from which she could neva' rise.
In view of this, he calls attention to the
folly of withholding from the service and
thereby prolonging the war, when by one
grand effort it could be speedily brought to a
close. He scouts all other ideas of peace
upon any terms than a reconstruction un
der the Constitution, and claims that a
recognition of the South would result in an
immediate dismemberment of other sections
of the Union.
Finally, General Seymour urges, in most
earnest words, the immediate reinforcement
of the armies. "What 'we now need," he
says, "is men, only men'." And he shows
what costly sacrifices we suffer because we
have not men enough.
Tens of thousands of lives are lost because
our array of strength is so disproportionately
less than that against which we battle.
Everywhere we meet on nearly equal terms,
when we might well have four to one. The
cost to us in blood and treasure of a pro
longed war can hardly be foreseen ; the econ
omy is infinite of such an effort as the glori
ous North should put forth. The South will
fight as long as the struggle is equal. It will
stbaiit to such preponderance as we should
show in every fielci.,
"4111 Es ABECAIMT." is the title of a neat
and spirited campaign paper just started in
Reading by our friend, Capt. E. E Rauch ,k
Son. It is decidedly the most "plucky" pub
lication in the State, and being published in
the very centre of the darkness and delusion
of Berks county copperheadism, exhibits a
fearlessness which deserves a liberal support
and a loud applause. We know of no man
in the fraternity better fitted for the task he
has undertaken in the publication of Faker
Abraham,. than our good friend Capt. Rauch.
I.7ar vow: polled against granting thesol
diers the right to vote, was given by acopper
head ancVenemy of the Government and the

October and November remember that fact.

H.PADQUARTEBS AIL= Poromec, August 23d.
No engagement has taken place since Sunday,
as the enemy has fallen back to their lines
two miles from Petersburg, where they are
seen busily erecting strong works similar to
those we first encountered on our arrival here - .
They are working night and day with a
large number of men, as though they were
arid' of an attack before they get' their
works cpmpleted.
Their main line runs near and west of the
lead works to the S'onth Side road, 'Which is
said to be strongly defended.
Their picket line extends nearly a mile south
of their works, with videttes•thrown' out near
the Davis -House.
The Richmond papers acknowledge a heavy
loss in officers and men on Thursday mofhing,
but claim that they have taken 3490 prison-
No doubt many reported missing will turn
up, as some of our own men have a bad habit
atter a little reverse of retreatirkg to the rear.
Of this loss, Gen. Crawford's division sus
tains the greatest proportion, he- having lost
about 2,000, mostly prisoners.
Col. Tilden, who was missing after the
fight of Friday, is safe. He was captured
and with others taken to Petersburg, but
during the excitement of loading them on the
cars, he managed to elude the vigilance of
the guard and ran into some bushes, where
he lay concealed till chance gave him an op
portunity to get away, and he came into our
lines on Monday, August 14. , •
Gen. Warren advanced his line Aber a mile,
along the railroad, towards Petersburg yes
terday, the rebel - PiCketS falling back betere
his skirmishers.
The Ist division of the 2d corfia-were en
gaged yesterday all day in tearing up -and
burning the railroad, as far as Reams' station
and beyond for a distance of about three
miles, while that portion over which the sth
advanced was also completely destroyed.
All is quiet on the lines this morning, ex
cept the usual picket firing.
Nine deserters came in last night, and also
a number of contrabands. Most of the for
mer express themselves ready to take the
oath of allegiance.

They deplpre the loss of the railroad very
much.

ILLTOIt.
Late Mobile papers contain the following :
General Higgins, a young and &pular offi
cer, is second in command to General Maury
at Mobile. •
The Mayor has issued the following procla
mation to the people of Mobile:
The enemy's vessels, as you all know, have
run past the forts and are now in the bay, so
that the' uter water defences are of no further
present nse for the security of our city and
homes. What the purpose of the enemy is we
have not yet discovered—whether to hold
command of the bay, in order to dominate the
forts, or by his shallowest vessels to attempt
to draw near enough to open a bombardment
on it, it is now impossible to say.
We must act without this information. We
must gather every man fit for defence into
some organized body, and hold ourselves in
readiness to repel attack, come from what
quarter it may. This is the only way to make
our efforts useful, and to stand strong against
the-progress of the foe in case he should ap
proach us within reach of the weapons that
we have at command.
The advance on us has been unexpected,
and our arms cannot impede or repel the ene
my in his present position ; but his ulterior
intentions may soon be unmasked in such a
form as will bring our service into use, and
then on your valor will depend the safety of
the city.
We must defend this city to the lasi point
of resistance. Let it not be said that Mobile
is craven, while we have the illustrious exam
ples of Riirhmond, Petersburg and Charleston
looking us in the face. Let not the name of
this city standin the historical records of this
unexampled war beneath; or in contrast with,
these grand instances of heroic fortitude and
endurance.
Fellow-citizens, I can only counsel alacrity
in this business and a cheerful obedience to
your commanders. They are striving with all
their might. and they will not lead you to
dishonor. My own services will be given to
the cause with all ihe zeal I possess. And so.
trusting to the benign influences of God, and
our own hands and hearts, I hope we shall
escape all danger, v battle through it to a
successful end. R. H. SLOUGH, Mayor.
Just before the fight began at Fort Morgan
the Red Gauntlet steamer ran the blockade,
and came safely into this port.

HALLTOWN, V&, August 21
Nothing of any especial importance has oc
curred during the past twenty-four hours :
along our front. A slight scattering fire has
been kept up at intervals on different portions
of our line of skirmishers, but no movement
of definite result has taken place. , Our troops,
by dint of constant exertion, have contrived.
to render our naturally strong position one of
impregnability, end the works erected by the
Army of Western Virginia will long exist as a
monument of untiring indugry.
Our forces are said to be in possession .of
Shepherdstown, and I see no reason for doubt
ing it, as a large train of wagons could be
seen proceeding in that direction this morn
ing. I have late and reliable advises from
General Averill, who reports that no move
ment has yet been made by the enemy to
cross _the Potomace in force, and that his
command still hold possession of the upper
fords. .which are being carefully watched.
Advices from the mountains state that a heavy
rain had fallen there; and that it will %proba
bly have the effect of making the Potomac
=fordable. Brit as yet no indications of any
unusual rise exist in this locality.
A thousand little signs, discernible only to
an adept, tend to prove that. General Sheri
dan intends to assume the offensive. Every
thing now seems to show that the enemy in
the Valley are now falling back on Richmond.
evidently the result of the recent successful
operations in front of Petersburg. The con
templated counter movement is doubtless
deemed a failure, and a recall has been
sounded.
This will explain much of the mystification
regarding operations of this part of our fOr
ces. We were to amuse Early, while .the
real key movement was executed by Warren
on the Weldon Railroad. Doubtless the fall
ing back of Gen. Sheridan on Halltown was
only a seductive snare to allure the rebel
General on and keep him engaged.
No other items of interest exist in this im
mediate neighborhood. The ferry is fearfully
crowded by army wagons, oflloials, orderlies,
guards, sutlers, and hangers-on generally.-.L.
Yesterday a large number of disloyal citizens
from Berryville and Charlestown were sent
down on the train, and to-day a squad of
rebel prisoners of war departed under a strong
guard.
