Dauphin County Democratic Committee. The Democratic County Committee for the county of Dauphin - will meet at the public house of James Raymond, (White Hall), in the city' of Harrisburg, on SATURDAY, MARCH 28th, at 2 o'clock p. at., for the purpose of tiring a day for the election of delegates to the Democratic County Convention, and also a thee for the meeting of said convention. By order of the Chairman. Fnertx Suns, Secretary. Tam Telegraph )2 laboring to seduce some Democrat to consent to become a catepaw in the hands of the Union League to be run against Gen. Ronmfort for Mayor. We know that no Democrat will consent. Any one pro fessing Democracy who would lend himself to no bases purpose would be badly beaten and forever politically disgraced and ruined. The abuse of Gen. Ronmfort by the Telegraph will not injure him ; it "is to him, as it would be to any respectable man, a high compliment, proving incontestably his honesty and worth. let the poor men of the city remember that this League, which abuses Roumfort and is in search of a candidate, is pledged by Bergner to "enforce the draft." Twit miserable hireling who does the scuril lons and filthy articles for the Hessians paper, is out in a column of abuse against Gen. A. L. Itonmfort, the Democratic candidate for Mayor. To that contemptible vagabond and the uncir cumcised dog, his master, anything in the way of retort, coupling the name of General Roam fort in the connection, would be 'desecration to the latter. These points, however, let our Democratic friends bear in mind: Ist, Gen. Roumfort is the unanimous choice of•tlie Democracy in all the wards in this city. 2d, that any compro mise with the Abolitionists in a Democratic city is a Democratic defeat, and an Abolition victory. 3d, that the hour has come,- and now is, for a vigorotni and decided Democratic.tri umph. Ath; such a victory can only be ob tained by a perfect union of heart and hand in the coming contest. The question to be settled is not merely one of men, but of prin ciples. Shall allessian Abolitionist be our next Mayor ? Shall we, in the State Capital, seta precedent for defeat to the party through. out the State, or shall we plant the standard here, and rally to its support, one and all ? Shall we set the ball rolling which is going to any us on to victory to the tune of a hundred thousand majority in the State next Fall ? Tao Etiessing Post has sent us, and, we pre sume, is otherwise disseminating throughout the country, a printed call for the organization of the Riot 44 League." This call is backed by some general expressions of devotion to the Union from a regiment in the field, a manifesto of like character from General Rosecrans and sundry lubrications of the Evening Post's own. The Abolitionists, it appears by this, are try ing to create jealousy in the army against their • fellow-citizens at home, to inaugurate the Riot 4 4 League" among the soldiers. If the Aboli tion party and the administration are going to resort to such means to coociliate . publio opin ion and "restore the Union," they will fail. If they desire wantonly to provoke an open conflict, to rend the country with riots and dis orders, they are pursuing exactly the course to bring them about. Of the rank and file of the truly, however, we have no fears, on its intel ligent officers we place . a perfect reliance; both are incapable of being debauched and worn into the Riot "League." If the _Evening Poet or any other anarchist journal pretends to be lieve in the success of a project so infamous as that which they are now starting, viz to se cretly infuse a spirit of lawless rage among the soldier-citizens of the Republic, to make them ready to turn their guns against their natural Mends at home ; to intimidate the free expression of popular opinion, or o th erw i se obstruct and proscribe the popular will, they must be mad, crazed with their own violence. The true sympathizer—and the soldiers know it,—with the soldier's sufferings and trials, he Who most glories in the achievements of our arms, is he who would preserve the integrity of our cause to make the deeds of war glorious said holy, net criminal and disgraceful. A " nigger war" is not an inspiring watchword in the. army; "nigger" armed amalgamation not a popular idea with the gallant, conserva tive, true loyalists in the field. , The Riot "League." The love of domestic peace and order is a natural and enlightenedleeling in a civilized people. There are few men who would deli berately propose to foment disturbance and excite riot in a peaceful community; but the -means of doing so are exceedingly easy of ac cess, and often very deceptive and subtle in their nature. There is greater danger that men may be deceived in wfat they are really about, than that they will deliberately enter tain the purposes of creating riot and public broil. From the merest accident great popu lar convulsions have arisen. It is a very thin partition, which separates in any country the tranquility of one day from the riot and blood shed of another. A spark, and the magazine of public tumult may explode. The Gordon riots, the Ninth Thermidor, the Whisky insur reetiett, the Fugitive Slave riots in Boston, and the late riot in Detroit, are cases well in point when popular fury, fed by popular pre judice, produced legitimate results, from the disturbance of an hour to the destruction of a government and King. A riot is by no means, however, merely a fortuitous circumstance. The public mind must be ripe and previously prepared for. it. The recent riot at Detroit had a peculiar significance; it is not difficult to point the Moral—he who runs may read. These are ticklish times to tamper with popular pre judice or trifle with the popular will. Those gentlemen who are engaged through out the country in forming so-called "Union Leagues" would do well to bear in mind, before going too far with these societies, some of these observations. We would fain believe any or all of them are not guilty of any intention to create trouble amongst us. The danger is not, we apprehend, that of an incipient con spiracy coolly meditated againetlaw and order, but of the inevitable tendency in these times of all proscriptive societies or cliques. As a political organization, wielding any important political influence, these "Union Leagues" are likely to end in a miserable failure. The pre cedent of Know-Nothingism has taken the wind out of the pails of these peculiar associations, and created a. reasonable prejudice against them. They have lost prestige forever. The phantom of a "Golden Circle," which seems to scare weak-minded Abolitionists, is, we ven ture to say, a figment of the brain. At all events, once and for all, if any such organiza tion is in existence, we do not sanction its purposes or principles—we repudiate it utterly and equally With the "Union League." The mind of the people is sufficiently per plexed by the difficulties which surround us without any extra element of confusion, liable to create intestine violence. These Leagues, destitute of any political efficiency, engines of their own destruction, are riotous in their ten dency and only poweiful to pro - duce outbreak and their own Ain. We do not fear their po litical influence; we fain would warn them against their owntdestruction, and professedly peace-loving and law-abiding, save the coun try from the scenes of lawlessness likely to ensue. Nurtured in the patronage of an adminis tration which has lost the popular confidence, proscriptive and oath-taking, the " LeSgue" may and will excite much jealousy and distrust. A secret society, or even a clique, touching or endeavoring to control the polity of a free country, to take power from the many and place it in the hands of a few, is an equally futile and dangerous experiment. The whole movement must be regarded by the people as virtually a cabal against their own sovereign ty. The right to say who is u loyal" and who is not, does not belong to any clique or class calling itself elect, and bearing the self-assumed badge of special fealty to the common coun try ; it is a right the people will not concede, however loud the declarations of the u Loyal League," however broad the members of it may make their loyal" phylacteries. Sound Doctrine—Habeas Corpus—Martial Law—A Southern Decision. The Richmond - Whig gives the decision of the Hustings- Court, Judge Lyons, in the - case of Theodore Whitman, a civilian, arrested under martial law for ;selling liquor. Robert Ould, Esq., for the court martial; Judge Crump for the petitioner. gg The court held that the power to declare martial law under the Constitution and laws of the Confederacy did not belong to the Presi dent, and that Congress had no authority to confer such power upon him ; that theautho rity to suspend the writ of habeas corpus , did not carry with it the right to declare martial law ; that martial law was an arbitrary and dictato rial power, .which might be exercised by a commander-in-chief over his camp or else where at his peril, and that neither the Con stitution or the laws sanctioned or justified such a stretch of power ; that the Congress might indemnify the commander-in-chief for powers thus unlawfully assumed, but the courts could neither recognize nor sanction it; that our government was one of constitution and law as well in time of war as in time of peace; that the Constitution limited and de fined the powers of the President and the Con gress, and that no powers belonged to either which were not expressly conferred by that instrument. That courts martial have exclu sive and restricted jurisdiction over soldiers and others belonging to the army; that their functions were circumscribed by law and con fined entirely to those who were in the military service ; and that, therefore, thSy had no right to try a citizen not connected with the army, Who Was, under thp Constitution, entitled to trial by jury for every offense against the laws, and, therefore, the custody in which the pri soner was held was illegal, and he was ordered to be discharged; but the court held him to bail, to answer, before the grand jury.". We have no doubt that this is sound law here as well as in Richmond, whether our lower courts so decide or not. That Congress has no authority to delegate power to the President, or any other person, towspend the writ of habeas corpus, we are well convinced, and we think the'Supreme Court would so de clare should the question ever come before ii for decision. If we are wrong in this opinion, we should like to know it. Supposes similar case to the above should come before one of our own courts, to be determined under the Federal Constitution, and the judge• should render a decision similar to that of Judge Lyons, will any Abolition judge .or lawyer inform us whether it would be sound or unsound—and if unsound, why ? The question is one of great importance,. upon which we desire all the light we can get. What Gen. Harrison Thought. If by chance, or in the order of Providence there should be living at the present day, and in political association with Abolitionists, any of the old 1840 campaigneis of the “Tippeea noe and Tyler too" stripe, who swigged hard cideg from the mouths of unseemly gourds, and sane the campaign through to a successful issue at the risk of their lungs—if there be any of these old fellows left yet, we desire to call their attention to•the following extract from a letter written by Gen. Harrison (old Tippeca noe) to Mr. Monroe in 1820. It may tend to open their eyes to a fact which, were it to come from us, they would not believe. It ap pears from this letter that General Harrison did not,believe that slavery would, if let alone, destroy the Union, but did believe that Aboli tion interference with it would. So thought and so said Webster and Clay and all the great statesmen of America. In his letter to Mr. Monroe, Gen. IL says : "I am and have been for many years so much opposed to slavery that I will never live in a slave State. But I believe that the Con stitution has given no power to the General Government to interfere in this matter ; and that to have slaves or no slaves depends upon the people in each state alone. But besides the constitutional objection, I am persuaded that the obvious tendency of such interference On the part of the States which have.no slaves, with the property of their fellow- citizens of the others, is to produce a state of discontent and jealousy that will, in the end, prove fatal to the Union." The Mayoralty. Let no Democrat think lightly of the .muni cipal election which is to be held on Friday. Let no one fancy that the choice of a Mayor is a small matter. In this crisis the election loses its local and municipal character, and becomei a matter of national concern, a mo mentous issue, the result of which will be looked for and chronicled throughout the Union. Every precaution against defeat should be taken, and no effort omitted to insure success— a victory that we may be proud of and rejoice over, and that may cheer the hearts of Demo crats everywhere who are resisting the en croachments of Federal power upon State rights and individual freedom. We cannot make the election of Mayor and Council a local issue now if we would—our enemies, the Abo litionists, would not let us. They carry Lin coln and Niggerism into everything, and if they beat us they will claim it as an adminis tration triumph.. We may as well meet them on the ground they choose, and urge the non-: test for Mayor under the same battle-cry that we rush into a Presidential election—" De mocracy against Abolitionism—White men against Negroes—Freedom against Despot ism 1" Three cheers for the Constitution as it is and the Union as it was—and defeat and disgrace to all traitors who. proclaim other wise. Philadelphia Evening Journal. Charles N. Pine, Esq., well known as a tio- Racal - writer, has become proprietor of the Philadelphia Evening Tournal. He was editor for six months previous to Mr. Boileau's ar rest, and avows himself "the writer of most of the articles deemed ; reasonable by the traitors in office at Washington," and closes his annun ciation of the new proprietorship as follows: If it be treason for a. public journalist to in sist upon a strict observance of the fundamen tal and supreme law of the land by men in of fice,- and to condemn all officials who violate that law and their oaths to obseive it, then the undersigned desires to be deemed a traitor. That such conduct constitutes treason, ac cording to the decisions of the administration and its friends, he is well aware, and he enters into the business of publishing and editing this paper with the full knowledge of the risks incurred by a journalist who ventures, in these times, to demand for the people what is right, to condemn what is wrong, and to publish po litical truth. But he intends to do all this, and is willing to take the consequences. Philadelphia, March 12, 1863. It requires a bold, fearless man to conduct a Democratic paper in this Abolition "Reign of Terior," and we believe Mr. P. is a man of that character. He has our pest wishes for General •ews. By telegraph we have the following: . A. Vicksburg dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette says the Federal Yazoo Pass expedition has captured twenty-six rebel. steamboats, eighteen of which were destroyed. The gun boat fleet had arrived above Haines' Bluff and would soon commence an attack. Rumors were rife that the rebels were evacuating Vicksburg; It was supposed the greater part of the rebel force would go to Chattanooga, join the rebel army there and endeavor to overwhelm Rose-. crane. Gen. McClernand's troops were com pelled to embark for Milliken'a Bend, sixteen miles above Vicksburg, owing to the high stage of water. The recent operations at Lake Providence and elsewhere in cutting the levees and clearing a passage for the water, has re sulted in inundating a large portion of Louisi ana territory, destroying millions of property. The guerillas are completely drowmd ont. • A refugee from Georgia who has arrived at Mur freesboro', reports terrible destitutioa in north ern Alabama and Georgia. Ellitta marine brigade arrived at Cairo on Saturday, (14th.) A Murfreesboro' dispatch says Col. Minty's command returned on Saturday from a success ful scout of eleven days through the enemy's country, having dispersed several :bodies of rebels, captured prisoners, wagons, camp equipage; &c., and penetrated the enemy's lines near Shelbyville. Information has been received from Fortress Monroe, that the rebel cavalry ha t e been making some display about Gloucester Point. It is•also rumored that the ninth army corps were about to move from Newport News to no matter where. By the arrival of the schooner War Eagle at New York from Minatillau, (Mexico,) we learn that two French gunboats captured that place on the 9th Feburary, without opposition. The steamer Militia from Havana on the 9th inst., brings latest accounts of French operations. The army commenced its march against Puebla on the 19th Feburary—Gen. Forey started on the 23d, and it was supposed the, attack would commence about the let of March. Gen. Ortego, the Mexican commander, has 24,000 troops for the defence of the city, independent of 8,000 or 10,000 under Gen. Comonfort hold ing the outer defences. The guerillas grow bolder every day and actually carry off mules from the very gates of Vera Cruz. Four hundred black troops from Egypt had arrived CRAItLES N. ruN. for French service, but already one hundred of them wve in the hospitals. A report from St. Domingo had been received at Havana that the people of the district of Guayualin and Monte Christie have risen under Gen. Lucas. Troops hove been sent from Porto Rico and Santiago de Cubs, and several vessels of war ordered there. It looks as though the Spanish protectors of St. Domingo were about getting into trouble. A letter from Tybee Island, below Savannah, says that on the evening of the 9th instant a steamer came into the harbor, fired two guns, • and left before the guns of the battery could be trained on her. It is supposed the steamer was the Alabama, Florida, a blockade runner, or some other vessel. Very likely. A dispatch from Oil Springs, Canada West, March 16, says: A serious riot occurred on Saturday night between whites and negroes. The whites organized a forae, marched to the negro quarters, and ordered them away ; they destroyed their property and burned the houses in which they lived. The negroes fled to the woods. Several of the rioters were wounded and three arrested. Gen. Tuttle received a dispatch at Cairo from Fort Donelson on the 15th, which says : Our cavalry report 12,000 rebels within 28 miles of Ponelson. The country people for miles around are coming to Fort Donelson with va rious reports. The rebels are reported to be well armed. Our forces are ready for any emergency. The steamer Ruth was arrested at Columbus, having on board two hundred boxes shipped at St. Louis for parties in Memphis. The boxes were said to contain oranges, but on examina tion they proved to be full of clothing, quinine, letters, Ac., for the rebels. Great apprehensions of a formidable rebel invasion of Kentucky are entertained at Louis ville by all intelligent classes, civil and mili tary. The U. S. Senate, after an executive session, adjourned sine die at two o'clock P. M. on Saturday. The rules and regulations for the enrollment under the conscription act are now making, at Washington, and the appointment of enrolling boards and provost marshals for various die-, tads will probably be announced next week. The valliant General Schenck, of Vienna notoriety, has issued an order suppressing all rebel music and' photographs of rebel officers in Baltimore, and administered an oath espci ally drawn up for the occasion, to the offending book men and photographists. Vise la baga telle! It is believed in Washington that Simeon Draper, of New York, stands the best chance for the appointment of Provost Marshal ilen eral. The report of the blowing up of the Indiano la appears to be confirmed. Admiral Porter has telegraphed to Secretary Welles that the rebels blew her up on the appearance of his bogus "turreted Monster," au old coal barge which he bad rigged up turret fashion and set adrift. She alarmed the rebels at Vicksburg and all the way down to Warrenton, drawing fire from all their batteries. The Vicksburg Whig also Confirms the report. STRANG& FIRES—A. TALE. CF THE MYSTE'. amtts.—We clip the following from the Oswego Press of March' 7: " The following most . singular phenomena have occurred at the residences of Wm. S. Stearnes and Richard Freeman, in the town of Rush, about five miles north of this city. On Tuesday morning last, soon after making the fires, Mrs. Stearnes discovered the carpet bur ning near the stove, but to cone side of it; she extinguished the fire, supposing it to have caught from the stove in some manner. Soon after the carpet was found burning near the bed which stood in the room, but entirely away from the stove. Regarding the latter fire as very curious she extinguished it, and left the room to attend her work, and being attracted by the smell of fire returned to the front room and found the straw burning in-the midst of her bed, under the clothes and. .feather bed. She immediately carried the bed out of the house. When she returned the curtains in front of the bed were blazing up to the ceiling above. Being now thoroughly alarmed she sent her little girl, of about ten years, the only person with her, for Mr. Freeman, who came and removed the carpets, clothing and beds from the house, and extinguished the fires in the stoves; while doing this fires broke .out in the pantry, burning the papers that were spread on shelves, also articles of cotton igni ted in different parts of the chainber. In this room a clothes rod, suspended by strings of cotton cloth tied ,to rafters, was beard to fall, and the strings were found burning. During this time Mr. Stearnes was absent and Mrs. S. and the little girl went home with Mr. Freeman. When they arrived there, as a preeaution, the garments of Mrs. S. and the little girl were placed by themselves, a cloak worn by the girl being put on the bare floor of the bed room. In a half hour after this cloak was found blazing briskly. It was removed from the room, and an hour and a half after wards the bed in the same room was on fire. The day following, a pillow case ; lying in a back room ignited, also a cloth spread over a flour barrel, and a bag containing dried fruit. These articles were all at distances from each other and ignited at different times. A cloth whlch had been used to wash some bottles was wrung out and hung upon a nailatsid was found burning at the bottom, and was at the time frozen stiff. In the afternoon a smell of fire was discovered in t he . chamber, and was found s to proceed from a mall box in which a paper wrapping a parcel of sugar was entirely burned from around the sugar. The box was covered with a lid which shut quite close. A lounge also took fire in-a bed room. On Thursday Mr. Stearnes returned to his house, built fires in the stoves, and soon after a fire broke out in a bed, and in a damp cloth lying on a pantry shelf. He extinguished hie fires, and has not occupied the house since, except to watch it. Thursday night the little girl stayed at lgr. Samuel Shuster's, some two miles west of Mr. Freeman's. Friday morning a cloth lying on a 'shelf in the milk room of 'Mr. Shuster's house was found burning, and also a handful of rags stuck in an outside crevice of the wall of the house. Being informed of the occur rence by Mr. Charles Holman, of this city, and to satisfy ourselves of their truth, we went with him to the houses of Afessrs.• Freeman and Stearnes, and from them heard what we have related, and much more. These gentle men are known to be men of unimpeachable veracity, and their statement is a sufficient guarantee of truth. But we saw the effects of the fire on the beds, clothing, papers and walls of the house, sufficient to Satisfy us of the ex act truth •of every statement made ; we saw the dr.les worn by the little girl, which ignited twice near the bottom of the skirt while on her. it was once extinguished by Mr. Freeman end once by Mr. Stearnes. - While we were at the house of the latter, a fire broke out •in some papers in an out-house at Mr. Freeman's. On our return we saw the fresh charred boards which the fire had burned. The fire broke out in five different rooms at Mr. Freeman's house, in no one of which was there any stove or fire place. A watch has been constantly kept by those two families, and every, article from their houses. They justly feel the greatest anxiety to hake the mystery of these fires solved. Who can do it ? A LIVING DESCENDANT OE THE LAST GRECIAN Exonnon..--The following letter is taken from the London Star : Sin—l have been an attentive, and I need not add, a deeply interested, reader of the many articles and reviews on the past and pre sent affairs of Greece which late events have forced more particularly upon the English press ; and there has been nothing in them which could justify my asking (as I now db for the first time in my life) the favor of the inser tion of a letter but the statement made in sev eral of your eotemporaries, that my family is "extinct." This assertion, while unchallenged, would imply that I had assumed a ng.me to which I had no right (a custom which fas of late been prevalent here,} and that there was no truth in the illustrious descent of which I am natu rally so jealously proud. The last Grecian Emperor, Constantine (Pa lasologus) XII., who fell in 1453 in the defence of his capital, left five surviving brothers, by three of whom the family and name were con tinued—their traditions and records being ever carefully preserved. - I may add that I am not the first of my name and house who has had the honor of be ing commissioned in the service of the British Sovereign. Three eons of Theodore Palmolo gas of Landulph were in the army, one of whom was killed in the King's cause at Naseby; and the navy of William and Mary was not, I believe, dishonored by the service of another member of my family, who died in 1.694. I have the honor to be, sir, yours obediently, W. T. PALIEOLOGIIS. 17, Charles street, St. James., Feb. 5. JENKINS OVIDONB.—Mrs. Gen. Roseerans, at the festival, disposed of a large quantity of ice cream, at 10 cents per plate., She is a no ble woman.—Chicago Journal. This is only equalled by the obituary on an English lady : "The Lady Martha Jane was the daughter of the Right Honorable George Opodyke. She was exceedingly benevolent, painted well in water colors, and of such is the Kingdom of the Lord." PENN' A LEGISLATURE. SENATE. MONDAY EVENING, March 16, 1863. The Senate was called to order at 7.4. o'clock by the SPEAKER. • Petitions on the usual subjects were pre sented, among the number one by Mr. Buober, signed by 245 citizens of Juniata county, in favor of a law to prevent the emigration of negroes into the State, and for the exclusion of those already here, which was read and laid on the table.

WYOMING CANAL COMPANY The bill to authorize the Wyoming canal company and its creditors to agree to an- ad justment of their respective rights, tante up in order on third reading. Mr. FULLER moved that the Senate go into committee of the whole for the purpose of inserting a proviso, that the company shall not enjoy the benefits of this act unless they shall within sixty days pay $281,000 into the Treasury of the Comonwealth, that being the amount of their bonds given to the State, and all the interest thereon except one coupon for $8,400.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH FROM WASHINGTON. WASIUNGTON, March 16. The reason assigned at the Tieasury De partment for suspending the printing of postal currency (25 and 60 cent notes) is that there is already a suffioient amount of such paper in proportion to the other denominations. The fact that there are counterfeits did not influ ence this action. The committee on the conduct of the war have, it is understood, closed theietestimony. In about two weeks they will make their re port. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Lewis is expected to enter upon his duties to-morrow. The expedition to colonize persons of color has been indefinitely postponed by the Presi dent. IMPORTANT IF TRUE. a N EW Yong, March 16. M. Gullaidett, writing to the Courier des etata Unix, from Paris, Feb. 27th, gives rumors of an insurrection in Hungary, and an alleged resolution of the Emperor to recall the French army from Mexico, but states that both look improbable. FINA.NCIAL. New Yonc, March 16. Secretary Chase left this morning for Wash ington. Whatever effect may eventually pro ceed from his consultation, it is believed, says the Commercial, that nothing has been accom plished for the present, either in* the way of establishing a bank under the new loan of Congress or towards placing the new loan upon the market.
