THZ Thlegraph makes no aoknowledgnent of
the falsehood it contained in reference to the
residence of thetwo sons of Judge Woodward.
We did not expect it would. It coined and pub
lished the lie and means to stick to it. Men
who are base enough to invent and circulate a
falsehood with maillices intent, never have the
manliness or honesty to confess and offer repa
ration. We may now mention, in refutation of
the Telegraph's statement--assigning a western
residence to the sons of Judge Woodward, and
alleging as the reason of their being in the army
the fact that they were thus removed from the
aiiiligittottoo of their father =that Lieut. Col.
Ir - imia lu ird entered the three month's service in
Philadelphia, his father's home, and the other
son from one of the north-eastern counties of

Thq paragon of mixed- "loyalty" and men
dacity, the Telegraph, gives itfetranee to the
following eentingent: • • - • .4.
..If we do not harmonize cardilferences and,
concentrate all our Some, the enemies of the
Government will succeed in electing Woodward
Governor; a result to be estimated as more die.
&strong to the cause of the country than the
defeat of Meade by Lee. Indeed, it would be
far better to allow Lee to penetrate Penneylva-,
Ida and establish himself in Harrisburg, than
to allow Woodward to succeed at the ballot-box
and then be inaugurated Governor of the tate.'s
Such a sentiment could come only from the
head of a traitor and the heart of a villain. And
yet the owner of the paper is Mr. Lincoln's .
Poptmaster and the editor Gov. Curtin's State
Librarian. Is it any wonder the people have
lost confidence in Executives who employ Such
dirty tools ? Better that Lee had deffata
Meade than that Woodward should be.Gov

This man against whom ; , thie _ . envenomed
Shaft of impotent malice is simed r is a Judge
of the Supreme Court of the State. 'Neither
his qualificatioha nor - hie - integrity, acting in
that high capacity, can be impeached by , his
worst enemies. The purity of his private life
is universally adtuictefi. As a party man he
has never been ultra or bitter. ..Trom the very
commencement of. this war he has had two
sons in the service of his country, one of whom
is now Lieutenant Colonel of a Reserve regi
ment, and was so badly wounded in one of the
Peninsular Wailes—the, ball paising through
both legs, badly shattering the bones—that he
will be a cripple for life. Both gallant eons,
we believe, took part in the battle of Gettysburg,
and did their part in driving Lee from the
State. Aud yet -this upright Judge, this
estimable citizen, the father of these heroic
boys, is represented by the Telegraph as a foe
to the nation, more .dangerous tban the rebel
General Lee.
Manch baseness as this is tolerated by the
people without rebuke, then, indeed, are they
..fallen from their high estate ," their rtecke
ready for the yoke, and their limbs for the
shackles which traitors and fanatics are-pre
paring for them. - •
wll Hit firitir
The Pittsburg. Evening Chronicle evidently
fears that there is not "enough patriotismand
common sense" in the oountry to save it from
destruction. It deprecates Party strife, and in'
the following extract, which we take from the
issue of the 29th, raps somebody pretty se
verely. over the knuckles. We suspect that
somebody is the editor of the Gazette; but in .
Minty respects the strictures apply with equal
force to our friend (" who sticketh to us closer
than a brother"yof the Dispatch. They are
both very black Republican papers—s shade
darker than the native African—and will, we
for, not take the censure of their more con• .
servative co-laborer in good part. The Chron—
icle says
'A glorious &Alloy is still within our grasp,
and it is for the North to nig whether that
shall be dimmed, imperiled or sacrificed by the
most untimely and the most insane of .party
strifes. We cannot for the life of us under
stand how any loyal man can, at the present
awful crisis of his country's fate, jabber and
squabble about' politics, and yet we have a
disgusting instance of party spirit in this very
city at present: A party organ one week de
nouncing an opposite party as - traitors, and the
next week covering ihe honored Executive of this
State, who, since the coramencedtent of the
war, hits most, nalously and patriotically de?
voted his whole time and talents to his coun
try, with the rVest abuse and rillification. The
matter becomes much worse when the writer
of these unseemly and indecent articles is
known to be the worst - and most dangerous
enemy this county has ever had—one who has
involved it in debt, in obloquy, and in -inter
minable law complications; and who then basely
deserted it in the hour of need that , he might
exhibit and glorify himself in a high position."
In oneparticular the Chronide, it strikes us,
is mistaken. In a Republican Government no
harm-ban arise from political argumentation,
or even-.the cultivation of party spirit, if the
one is based upon reason and the other kept
below the degree of rancor. The real danger
to the country lies in the spread of devilish
fanaticism, which, radiating from the centre,
at Washington, is filling-the land with heresy,
degenerating public morals; misrepresenting
the principles of our Government, and, dis
carding alike religion, reason and law, is
rapidly opening a wide road to destruction.
When rampant Abolitionism shall have learned
to respect the Constitution, the laws, the mo
tives and opinions of others, and the rights of
all ; when it shall modify' the fierceness of its
tone, and reason rather than demand and de
annete, the danger which the
,Chronicle apprc
heads will have passed away:--men may again
differ in politics and yet be friends—and the'
country will be saved, because reason and pa
triotiant will rule, and, widin belonglog to Of-,
fermi parties, all will unite to uphold and per
petuate the Great Republic.

The exonee for this action that led - to the
public is that so many of_its delegates wire in
the State militia! Yet they have been fre
, quently challenged to name five who are there,
and, of course, cannot do it! If they were,.
there is an , abundance of Republican stsy.at
home patriots to act as sunetitutes for them.
The truth about it is, that not withstanding hie
Vaal message to the Legislature , declining to
be a candidate there-election, Gevernor Curtin
has constantly and is now making every effort
in his.power to obtain a re-nomination. Cam
eron is bitterly hostile to Curtin, and is work
ing vigorously to defeat him. If the Conven
tion had adeembled on the first of July Cur
tin'a re nomination was considered certain,
The Committee is under Cameron's control,
and he bad the Convention postponed by it
for the sole purpose of defeating Curtin. That
is why the. Convention Was Postponed.
The fight commenced in this way : In order
to make a candidate for the disenatented ones,
Col. M'Clure made a trip to Washington, and
arranged with the President to give Governor
Curtin a first-class misesion. The President
signed a paper. guaranteeing any mission in
his gift, except England- and France. The
hero of Charnbersburg rushed back to Harris
burg and arranged his elate- This was a short
time protions to the meeting of the last Legis
lature. .It was fixed that Mr. Johnson, of
Lycomieg, should - be made Speaker of the
Senate, as he was of no account and had no
chance for the Succession, and that Governor
Curtin should resign in %May last, and go to
foreign lands: By one of those singular poli
tical mishaps •which Wound the best laid
plans of men and mice, Col. WOlare's elate
'was broken, and John Penny,. of Allegheny,
elected Speaker. This was a. sad blow to
M'Clure. He knew that air. Penny Nre
ablest utaa is the ItPpublican ranks. If Curtin
resigned Penny woreld k e nominate,' in spite of
all their maehinations. The only resource
left was for Curtin to - hold on. The clamor
has been renewed, and the Republican wire
pullers again insist for the salvation of the
party flat Curtin shall resign before the' first
of August and accept a`foreign mission. Cam
eron and M'Clure, though pulling different
strings, are at the bottom of this last plot.
They are determined on slaughtering Curtin.
But the Governer is as equally determined not
tb resign. • •
Catieron is striving to bring forward a can
didate who was .onee Democrat. Judge
Strong, of the Supreme Court,. (horn a re.der

The rebel officers are excessively exaspera
ted at being attacked by the Massachusetts

the body of. Col. Shaw the rebel reply was that
he had boot buried 61544 with his iliggera.
Offensive operations are being actively pros
ecuted.
The NeW York Tribune's official Correspon

in the late assault upon Fort Wagner, accor

rebels claim to have buried 660 of them.
This extraordinary proportion of killed
could only have been reached by- the indis

Charleston and Columbia.

seized upon by the rebel surgeots, and it was

ASSAULT UPON A DRAFTING OFFICER.--An

they began.to brat against tho door withihoir

and after insulting his wife. took him out of
doors and stripped:Mk of his pants and Shirt,

• INWARBANTABLZ INTERPOLATION.-4 the
fourth clause of the secoedsection of the Con
scription act is the following provision :
"Where there are two or more sons of aged or
infirm parents subject to draft, the father, or
ifie be dead, the mother, may elect which son
shall be exempt." In the blank forms of car.
tifieates for exemption under that clause, (form
26,) advertised by the board of 'enrollment, the
words, "dependent for support on the labor gf
my two sons" are interpolated. This interpo
lation makes a very material difference. By
the act an aged parent is entitled to the ex
emption of one son, even though he or she be
not dependent npon him for support Now
wheie did the enrollment boards get the au
thority to make exemption conditional on the
needs of the parents when. the law makes no
such provision ? There is a great deal of stu
pidity, or a great deli of rascality, or both, in
the management , of the draft.—Springfield Re
