Congress, by a vote nearly unanimous, passed the following resolution, which expresses the voice of the Nation and is the tree standard of Loyalty ts That the present deplorable civil war has been forced upon the country by the disunionists of the southern States, now in arms against the Constitutional Government, and in arms around the Capital ; that in this National emergency, Congress, banishing all feel ing of mere passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to the whole souutryi that this war is not mega ea shay pan in. any spirit of appressien, es f -r emu purpose of conquest or subjugation, or purpose of overthrowing or inurferin g with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired; and that as soon as these ob jects are accomplished the war ought to cease." The Situation. We have little to add to our brief remarks of yesterday in relation to the position of the Federal and Confederate armies. They are said to be in close proximity somewhere in the neighborhood of Williamsport, and that is all we know. There was a report current that Lee bad crowed, but a Washington dispatch telegraphed at a late hour yesterday, on high authority, considers that impossible. If he did not and cannot cross, a bloody battle must soon be fought, if it has not already been. The Draft. "The Conscription Law should be enforced at once. Even though Lee's army be annihilated and though our forme make a triumphant entry into the rebel strongholds of Richmond, Vicks burg and Port Hudson, yet, we say, the neces sity for the enforcement of the Conscription Law remains as great as ever. * * * * A strong army will be necessary for at least a year after the rebellion is over, and this can only be raised by a draft. We must not depend on short time volunteers." Ws find this oracular, and (considering the official connection of the proprietor.) perhaps authoritative announcement in the Harrisburg Telegraph of Friday. It has been brought to our attention since our brief article of yester day, on this subject. • Yes: "the conscription act MUST be enforced at once ;" the altar of the modern Moloch needs a fresh supply of victims ! Homes are to be made desolate; fire-sides invaded; chil dren must be torn from their parents; husbands from their wives ; brothers and sisters must be parted, and the clasped hands of love of every degree be wrenched asunder by the rude force of military power! Such is the fiat of Black Republicanism, and so announced, just, as we have copied it above, from one of the meanest of its minions. Dare this pensioned parasite of the Cabinet at Washington, lift the veil a little higher, and tell us 104 "a strong army will be necessary for AT IBAST a YEAR after the rebellion is over ?" Or, are we given in his Saturday's issue, in the article, "Peace and its Settlements," a key to the startling announcement of the previous day ? In the latter, we have the declaration in so many words, that "the talk of establishing the Union as it was, is all moon shine." "We are bold," (says the brave crea ture who fled the vicinage the other day when the rebels approaohed,)—"we are bold to admit that such a Union will never be reorganized on this hemisphere;" and in another connection, meat owlishly intimates not only that "Immo= thing must be done," but puts it down in italics, (valiant ever,) that "something will be done," to prevent any such a catastrophe to Black Republican interests. It is true the destruction of slavery is the string harped upon, and put forward as the cover of deeper designs, and more daring usur pations to be consummated by meson of the "strong standing army," now to be secured by conscription. Yet, taking the drift of both a rticl e s, the Telegraph tells the people of Penn sylvania, as clearly as its muddled brains ever conceived or told anything, that the present conscription is to enable President Lincoln and his piebald Cabinet, to carry out the long cherished purposes of the Abolitionists, in unsettling the Constitution, and even civil society itself, by elevating the negro to an equality with white men And; we are much mistaken, if this Hessian and his owners don't find he has been a little too devilish "bold" on this occasion. We are much mistaken, if amid the welling tears and quivering heart strings occasioned by the conscription, the curse of sure and swift vengeance is not breathed often and to some purpose, against those who so mockingly declare amid the mis ery it works—"the conscription MUST be enforced." We shall, indeed. be sadly mis taken, if when an outraged and suffering peo ple can reach Black Republicanism at the bal lot box, your pliant Curtins, and corrupt coymitie, all of them, do not go suddenly down to political deaths, beyond the remotest hope of resurrection. Gradually, and by slow, insidious steps, Abolitionism has assumed control of the gov ernment at Washington. The original, proper and legitimate purposes of the war against the r ebellious South, are now almost ignored.— The broad banner of the old Union, with 0 013 _ stitutional freedom and State rights emblazon ed on its ample folds, has been put aside, and in its place we are now to have the stained and scanty rag of negro equality. Possibly, even the bar sinister may be placed upon it, em blematic of the doctrine of amalgamation, which Wendell Phillips—(the same who lec tured by invitation of Black Republicans, in our 'own legislative hall,) declares to be "God's own method of civilizing and elevating the world!" Certainly—most certainly, they "will need STRONG army for at least a year after the rebel lion is subdued ; the conscription must be en (greed at once-" No matter what the law of races, or the les sons of history may teach in regard to the utter impossibility of carrying out this scheme of madmen—the exigencies of party, and above all, the profits of horse contractors and shoddy furnishers, require the dark and tur bulent stream of excitement should roll on.— No matter if it be as plain as G‘ospel truth, that the normal condition of the Negro is the slavery in which he has so supinely slumbered for long centuries in his native Africa—prov ing him to be an inferior link to the white man in the great chain of human being, and tifterpel to the requirements of enlightened self government. No matter as to all this, and more that could be offered, to stay the torrent of fanaticism—the Sumners and the Phil Space, the Chases and the Camerons must be kept in power, and their followers have opportunities of plunder ! " The conscription MUST be en forced"—the draft must go on. In Massachusetts, the blue light Abolition. lets deny to the white foreigner, privileges yielded there by law to the negro ; and as Massachusetts leads the van in this new cru sade against the ,"Constitution as it is, and the Union as it was," perhaps a part of the itali cised ' , something to be done" of the Telegraph, is to make this degradation of the foreigner national; and the classes which your party in times past, used to characterize as the "stupid Dutch" and "ignorant Irish," are now to be dragged down by force in the scale of political rights, below the wooly-headed Afri. can, all over the Union ! What more natural than to suppose that the "something which wit/ be done," is the something you have done in the States now within your Anaconda folds: Degrade and disfranchise the hereditory foes of despotic power wherever you can. It is the only way Black Republicanism can keep its power. The only way it can escape the doom foreshadowed in New York, New Jersey, and even in New Hampshire. For more than a year past, the miserable renegade of The Press, and the Washington Chronicle, has been occasionally putting forth feelers in behalf of the powers that own him, in regard to the necessity of a stronger central government ; one, (to use his own absurd and traitorous words,) ' , which combines the forms of a Republican government with the powers of a Monarchical government." Another pensioner of the Washington Cabinet, the North American, declares that "this war has already shown the absurdity of a government with limited powers; it has shown that the power of every government, ought to be and must be unlimited." And now, here we have a kindr, d spirit, not only calling for a speedy "enforcement of the draft," but for a "STRONG ARMY, to be kept up AT LEAST a year after the rebellion is over !" Depend upon it, people of Pennsylvania, these °•little clouds" betoken a rising storm, dark and terrible:in its character, and fraught with destruction of all we hold dear in government and society, if the true friends of freedom do not remain true to their own Heaven-appointed mission. We must, indeed, be wary and watch ful. If ever, since the Union was formed, "the price of liberty was eternal vigilance," it is NOW. But let us glance at certain features of this conscription law which is to be so summarily enforced : A few weeks since, we published an elaborate and able review of this law, examined in the light of the Constitution, by our friend Gan- Stahel], of the Westmoreland Ilepuldtean- We neglected to say then, what we hasten to declare now : that, concurring in the main with his closely reasoned objections, we agree entirely in his uonolusion, that the, only pro per remedy is an application to the courts of law; unless, as we eiticerly hope, the sugges tion be adopted, which we ventured upon yes terday, of raising money by counties, or mu nicipalities, and thus rescuing our laboring poor men, who have not the Almighty three hundred dollars to save them from being of fered up as victims in a fratricidal war, or poet -Ably (and what would be worse) a war waged tot would-be tyrants against the Constitution our country. It is only in the sanctuaries of justice, in these times, that we shall be likely to find a lindieation of our rights. The Supreme Court .f Pennsylvania, while a Woodward, a Lowrie ..snd a Thompson share its councils and control -.LEI decrees, will not shrink from a due asser tion of the sovereignty of the State, or the lights of individuals. We have always regarded it unfortunate ,"and it was especially so in view of the exist 'eag state of things) that the Supreme Court of United States was called upon to define he intention of the framers of the Constitu tion in regard to the powers of the President over .the militia of the several States, without any other historical experience than that af forded by the cowardly and traitorous action of the Governors of several of the Eastern States in the crisis of the War of 1812. We bow to the decisions of that Court upon this subject, as far as they go, as the settled law of the land.* But we think even these decisions, unduly leaning to central power as they do, are yet transcended in_ many features of the new conscription act. Under this law, the citizen is placed between two powers, each claiming his person and service. It never colidd have been intended to establish such a conflict of powers and duties. A few days since, Pennsylvania was almost tauntingly told by the central government at Washington, that she must take care of herself against a ravaging invader who professed to be making war only against that very central government. * See 6 Wheaton, 1..-12 Wheatas, /9, Pennsylvania, then, is a power; has a sepa rate existence as a State; has individuality as a government. And yet, Governor Curtin seemed all the while to be overwhelmed with the idea that he was nobody—that he had no right as the ruler of a sovereign and independ ent State to make war, or even to repel Joys- D i on , Hie eyes were constantly turned toward Washington, and as anxiously and submis sively, too, as ever worshipper of the Prophet looked toward Mecca. Be was asking from day to day, that the authorities at Washington should give him power to call out his own peo ple ; and they actually were called out at last and mustered under some sort of compact, or 'agreement with that most magnificent Satrap, Secretary Stanton. And yet, Gov. Seymour (the Copperhead !) actually sent' his State troops to our rescue, without waiting anybody else's permission to call them out. 0, for the advent of a Woodward to put an end to this groveling position of our glorious old Commonwealth ! 0, for that glad and speedily approaching day when she will take her stand properly and proudly by the side of New York, with her admirable Seymour, and of New Jersey, with her sterling Parker ! Passing from the constitutional and legal questions connected with this conscription act, we cannot forbear briefly adverting to its gross violation of the just and republican doctrine of man's equality, which lies, or ought to lie, at the basis of all our institutions. An order has lately been issued by the War Department, carrying into effect that provision of the law by which every person drafted who can raise three hundred dollars, may pay the amount to Commissioner of Revenue, and thus be released from service. A discrimination in favor of wealth and against poverty, every way worthy of Black Republicans ! It is, in very truth, a law to punish poverty ! Every able-bodied man between the ages. of twenty and forty-five, too poor to pay 000, if he fails to be on hand, will be seized by the provost marshal, put in irons, it may be, and driven at the point of the bayonet into the army for a service of three years, if so long he survive the .dangers of this embittered and fratricidal war. Remon strance is useless.; resistance worse than use less ; he had no business to be a poor than . 1 Re ought to have been a relation, son, or some thing of some of the great Black Republican magnates, with the 'inside track" of affairs— got a horse contract, or a shoddy partnership, made minim) and mounted a carriage 1 But no : three hundred dollars is the price set upon his head, or else he must forth and do battle for the liberation of negroes who are now bet ter off than their forefathers in Africa; much better off than any other negroes in the wide world. And when he returns from the war— grad help him !—it will be to find his honest pathways of labor crowded by the poor colored creatures this cheap charity of Massachusetts madmen have turned loose upon society ; and side by side with them he must labor, at their prices, chaffered down by their numbers to the rate of starvation ! In thus referring to the conscription act, it is no part of our purpose to induce any resist ance to its full execution. It is a law of the land, and until pronounced by adequate au thority unconstitutional, it must be obeyed as such. Until we can vote them down at the polls, there is only left to us a choice between obedience to the laws meted out by our rulers, and rushing into the hell of anarchy Present obedience then, is our proper policy, and let ns " bide our time." . President Lincoln and the Louisiana Planters. By some means the following important correspondence, alluded to in yesterday's PATRIOT AND UNION, was omitted EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASkINGTON, June 19. Messrs. E. E. Mathiot, Bradish Johnson and Thomas Cottman : GENTLEMEN—Your letter, which follows, has been received and considered : To His Enceilency Abraham Lincoln, .'resident of the United •Vtatee : The undersigned, a committee appointed by the planters of the State of Louisiana, respect fully represent that they have been delegated to seek of the general governments full recog nifion of all the rights of the State as they existed previous to the passage of an act of secession, upon the principle of the existence of the State constitution unimpaired, and no legal act having transpired that could in any way deprive them of the advantages conferred by the Constitution. . Under this Constitution the State wishes to return to its full allegiance in the enjoyment of all rights and privileges exercised by the other States under the Fed eral Constitution. With the view of accom plishing the desired object, we further request that your excellency will, as Commander-in- Chief of the Army of the United States, direct the Military Governor of Louisiana to order an election, in conformity with the Constitution and laws of the State, on the first Mond a y o f November next, for all State and Federal offi cers. With high consideration and respect we have the honor to subscribe ourselves your obedient servants, E. E. MATHIOT, BRADISH JOHNSON, Taos. COT THAN. • Since receiving the letter reliable informa tion has reached me that a respectable portion of the Louisiana people desire to amend their State constitution, and contemplate holding a convention for that ohject. This fact alone, as it seems to me, is a sufficient reason why the general government should not give the com mittee the authority you seek to act under the existing State Constitution. I may add, that while I do not perceive how such a committal could facilitate our military , operations in Louisiana, I really apprehend it might be so used as to embarrass them. As to an election to be held next November, there is abundant time without any order or proclamation from we pat now. The people of Louisiana shall not hick an opportunity for a fair election for both Federal and State offi cers by want of anything within my power to give them. Your obedient servant, It is estimated that 150,000 cannon are on an average fired uselessly every twenty-four hours, in salvos, salutes, morning and evening guns, etc., throughout the civilized world.— Each discharge costs $1 . 25, consequently $180,060 are daily wasted in this way, and $60,000,000 'annually, which goes away in smoke, but is raised in substantial taxes. FUNNY CONFUSION OF ALMANAC.—The Gran ite State Newa states that the oldest of three brothers residing in Moltonborni, New Hamp shire, married quite a young girl ; his neat younger brother married the girl's mother, and the youngest took for his wife the grandmother. "I wish you would not give me such short weight for my money," said a customer to a grocer, who had an outstanding bill against him. "And I wish you wouldn't give me such long wait for mho," replied the greeet. NEWS OF THE DAY. BY TELEGRAPH. LATEST FROM THE SCENE OF WAR A special dispatch from Washington reports that the rebel Gortorn.l Stuart was captured on Friday night by our cavalry. PHILADELPHIA, July 13.—A gentleman who left Waynesboro, yesterday, at noon, furnishes the following interesting intelligence: It is un derstood that the rebels in falling back to the line of the Conococheague river, from Antie tam, encountered the forces or Gen. Mulligan, and aftes several skirmishes in the vicinity of Clear Spring, retired to the eastward. This accounts, no doubt, for the occupation of Hagerstown by Gen: Ewell. Hagerstown is now held by our forces. The position of the rebel army is now reduced to a space of six miles by nine, in which to manoeuvre. They have no naturally strong positions left to them, and it is believed by persons in offi cial position that they cannot possibly escape capture or annihilation. The report that a large number of rebels had crossed the Poto mac with a wagon train is believed to be en tirely false, as there is nothing to cross the river with, excepting the rope ferry. Two hundred Union prisoners, who refused to take a parole from the rebels, were crossed on this ferry on Thursday evening. Captain Norris, who succeeded in making his escape, brought information that 00 far lye he ebeerTed, there was no considerable rebel force on the south bank of the Potomac. The Grey Reserves and Blue Reserves, of Philadelphia, went on a reconnoisance, on Saturday, towards Hagerstown, and succeeded in opening communication with the Army of the Potomac, capturing several- - prisoners,— They were complimented by the corps com mander for their excellent behavior. The Re serves sustained no loss. The store trains of the regiments arrived, and the sufferings of the men are at an end. A gentleman who has just arrived from the Antietam valley, reports that heavy thunder storms visited that region on Saturday and Sunday evening. The rain fell in torrents for hours and the mountain streams were again much swollen. WAsituvoroN, July 13.—A letter from An tietam creek, dated yesterday, says : Vice Presidenr Hamlin was in camp. The number of prisoners who have been forwarded by the General Provost Marshal to Baltimore, is between 8.000 and 9,000. This is indepen dent of those sent forward by Gen. Couch; and hundreds of deserters in Ponnsylvania_ It is estimated that nearly 3,000 deserters have left. Lee's army, a large portion of whom have re crossed the Potomac at various points above Williamsport, and made their way thence to their homes in the south. From the best sources it is believed that Lee has yet in his command not less than . 60,000 men. Taking the natural strategic position in possession of the enemy and the additional advantage of his being entrenched, Gen. Meade has no trivial task before him. He is preparing for the con flict with all possible speed, coupled with great discretion. His engineers are industri ously employed in surveying the ground and selecting the best position, while Our cavalry are employed in feeling the enemies lines. There was considerable skirmishing along the lines on Saturday night and yesterday morn ing. The enemy's infantry and artillery were in plain view on the Hagerstown road. CIRCULAR FROM THE WAR DEPARTMET IN RELA- Tho following oiroular was issued from the War Department to-day : WAR DEPART., PROVOST MARSHAL'S OFFICE, I July 12 Lh, 1863. $ To answer inquiries made to this office it is announced—First.

Sixth. In serving the notices as required by circular No. 42, from this office, a reasonable time to report shall in each case be granted by the board of enrollment to men in the State service who have been or may be drafted. (Signed) JAMES B. FRY, Provost Marshal General. BAlrtuona, July 13.—There is a panic in the gold market here to-day ? and everybody•ia Sales have been Meat as low as 30 per cent. premium. This may indicate that good news from the army has been received at Baltimore. TERRIBUE RIOT IN NEW YORK—THE DRAFT RE- BisTED—POLICE OFF/OVAS RHPORTED KILLED -SOLDIERS DISARMED AND BEATEN Naw YORK, July 13.—A large mob collected at the conscription office on the Third avenue, to prevent the draft from being carried on. At this hour, 11 a. m., they have driven away the conscription officials, set the, building on fire. arid the whole is now in flames. The mob will not allow the fire bells to be rung nor the firemen to act. They have destroyed all the telegraph wires in the vicinity, and are bent nn mischief. The regulars from Governor's Island have been sent to the scene. Two o'olook.—The riot is said to have as- Rimed vast proportions. It is stated that the arsenal on 54th street has been taken by the mob, who armed some four hundred of their number. The police have been handled terribly severe. It to reported that the Police Superintendent, Kennedy, and some fifteen of the police were killed and many wounded. A squad of some tbirty soldiers were ordered to fire on the mob, but they had their guns taken away, and were shockingly beaten and dispersed. The noon train for Boston was nearly demolished, and the passengers driven out and prevented from leaving. The telegraph lines are all cut in m any places, destroying connection with the east. JERSEY CITY, July 13, 11 P. M.—The riotora have things pretty much their own way. Many buildings sacked and burned, riot still going on and, if anything, increasing. It is expected to-night will be one continuous scene of riot, robbery and burning. Negroes dare not show their faces in the streets, already several are reported killed and many assaulted. We closed the telegraph office in New York—are working from Jersey City. Eight hundred police are guarding the Tribune office. Super intendent or Police Kenedy was very seriously hurt, and it is reported that he has since died. The colored Orphan Asylum was burnt. A. LINCOLN. Bossow, July . 13.—An armed steamer was off Portland harbor yesterday. She refused to answer any signals, and as she burned soft coal it is supposed that she was a pirate. MARTIAL LAW DECLARED AT CINCINNATI, COV INGTON AND NEWPORT BY GEN. BURNSIDE. CINCINNATI, July l3.—Gen. Burnside has is sued an order declaring martial law in Cincin nati, Covington and Newport.

NO DEFINITE INFORMATION REGARDING MORGAN'S WHEREABOUTS There is 710 definite information regarding Morgan's whereabouts, but it is supposed that be will move around the city and cross the river between here and Maysville. The militia are concentrating at this poin in obedience to the order of Governor Tod. BY THE MAILS. POSITION UNCHANGED ON SUNDAY-NO FIGHTING ON THAT DAY-IMPORTANT MILITARY MOVE MENTS-NOTIFICATION OF RETALIATION TO THE REBEL GOVERNMENT. BALTIMORE, July 12.—A special dispatch to the American, dated headquarters, Saturday night, says: The position of the two armies is essentially unchanged. There has been no fighting to-day. The enemy changed their picket line this morning, giving rise to a report that they had abandoned Funkstown, which was magnified into a full retreat and an escape across the river. They were, however, still in the same position, end in full force. Our pickets are now close to Funkstown, and all along the line in immediate proximity to the rebels. General Meade has his force all in position, and everything seems ready either to receive or deliver battle. The conflict will probably not take place till Monday. Our army is in first rate spirits, and moved into position with cheers. The Maryland brigade is at the front, eager to show their pluck, Our cavalry operations continue very active. The rebels are circumscribed to a small extent of country for food and forage. BOONSBORO', Juiy 12. —All is quiet this morn ing. It is reported that the rebels are re treating towards Hancock. All looks well. Vice President Hamlin and senator Wilson are on a visit to the army. NEW YORK, July. 12.—A dispatch from Washington to the Herald states that impor tant military movements are in progress, which indicate the policy of the government to follow up our success vigorously, and drive the rebellion to the wall. Our government has notified the rebels that the execution of the two officers recently selected at Richmond will be retaliated most severely. MARINO DOWN DOMES. Nnw YORA, July 12.—A dispatch from Mid dletown, Md., to the Herald states that infor mation has been received from a person who has been within the lines at Funkstown, that the rebels are tearing the houses to pieces to construct pontoons. The rebel soldiers express little hope of crossing the Potomac, and were anxious about their supplies, not having seen their trains for four of five days. They were much disheart ened. WASHINGTON, July 12.—A dispatch from headquarters, dated at 8 o'clock this evening, says all is quiet, though some ekirmiehiog has taken place during the day. There does not seem to be any fear that the enemy has crossed the river, nor that he can or will cross without giving battle. There has been a heavy rain for three hours. TEE VERY LATEST FROM ` THE FRONT. FREDERICK, July 12, 1803-10.30 p. m.— Accounts from the front represent Lee to be surrounded at or near Williamsport. The Sixth corps occupies Hagerstown, and the Eleventh corps Funketown, the enemy having retired from both. The remainder of the army is pushing Lee rapidly to the river. Gen. B. F. Kelley, from extreme western Maryland, is reported as being on the Virginia side of the Potomac, to stop Lee in that direction. MORGAN'S INVASION . OF INDIANA. INDIANAPOLIS, July 11.—General Morgan's forces reached Vienna, on the Jeffersonville railroad, at 10 o'clock this morning. Morgan burned the depot and railroad bridge at Vienna, and is now moving in the direction of Madison with the intention, it is supposed, of crossing the river at Grassy Flats. Prisoners who escaped from Basil Duke's command, at Vienna, say that the rebels are moving in great haste, and they think from what they could learn from the raid that it is Morgan's intention to pass through Indiana and join Lee's forces in Virginia. DEISOCATIC STATE C9NVENTION OF CALIFORNIA SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—The California Democratic State Convention has nominated the following ticket: For Governor, John S. Downey ; Congressmen, John Bigler, John B. Weller, and Joseph APCorkle ; for State Prin ter, Beriah Brown. The following platform was adopted : The re solutions express an unalterable devotion to the Constitution and the Union, denounce all attempts to suppress the freedom of the press, and uphold the right of free speech; oppose secret political societies, and denounce arbi trary arrest; denounce the emancipation pro clamation, and all laws calculated to substitute paper currency in California for gold. They recognize the right of the government to resist by every constitutional means rebellion or in surrection against its lawful supremacy. HATIONATs - DANK& WASHINGTON, July 12.—Thus far, twenty five banks have been organized under the na tional banking law, and only await the furnish ing of notes by the Treasury Department to go into complete operation. These will be supplied, it is thought, within the next two months. DIED.

This is due not only to the excellent spirit which animates this community, but also, in a measure, to the disinterested manner in which an entire class of our fellew. citizens cheerfully sacrificed their pervonal interests to the public good. To them especially the Mayor returns his sincere thanks for this evidence of their patriotism, and he has no doubt that, should the occasion require it, they will again Mow themselves worthy of the public respect to which they have so fully entitled themselves. i.
