feeling of hostility against our Govern

who are expected to vote the "People's"

Forney, who claimed to he and still
claims to have been the fervent friend of

The Abolition pack, including curs of
low degree, arc still in pursuit of General
McClellan. How savage tho blood hounds
havo become. The Philadelphia Bulletin
of Monday evening last says:
"A dispatch was sent to us this morn
ing from New York, stating that the Tri
bune had a dUpateh, declaring, among
other things, that Gen. McClellan was a
traitor, fcioon after wo were informed that
tho Tribune office had been closed by or
dor of tho Government officials, thus giv
ing a completo denial to what, we wore
satisfied, was a false and malignant can
ards."
When will these bloody and traitorous
Abolition conspirators o.casc their efforts
to dcitroy the reputations of our Gencr
als! Not until their schemes of negro
emancipation is accomplished or this
Union forever separated. But tho mal
ignity of theso reptiles towards McClellan
surpasses tho ferocity of hungry tigers
A month ago tho calumniating assassins
insisted that the rebel army in Virginia
was far, inferior to McClcllao's ; now we
are told that the army which he fought
for Bovcn day3 successfully with 80,000
men, amounts to 250,000. Still the Abo
litiou pack aro aftc him with unabated
slander.
Political Puosi'ects. The political
intelligence from all parts of the Common
wealth is highly encouraging. The Dem
oeratio masses arc fully awake to their
duty, and determined to prescrvcre in its
faithful dischargo, despite all the baso
falsehoods and missreprcscntations .of the
Abolition press. From tho Stato Con
vention on the Fourth of July, down to
that in tho remotest county, every meepng
of the Democracy that has been held this
year has been sianally harmonious and
enthusiastic. Tho Oposition will find, to j
to their sorrow, perhaps, that persecution ,
of Democrats, instead of making them
timid and cringing, hasonly had tho effect (
of uniting them in a ctrongcr devotion toi
iheir time honored principles than ever. '
The October election will tell tho tale in
tho Old Keystone State. i
Not Truk. The story that was pub
lished by the abolition papers throughout
tho country, that Hon. C. L. Yallandig
hani, of Ohio, had been arrested, aud that
ovidenco of disloyalty had been found
against him, is a fabrication without tho
first shadow of truth. Tko story was
started by the Rcpublicaus of Ohio, and
was telegraphed by some anonymous oprr
tator for partisan purposss, and published
by every Republican paper in tho North.
There-was not even apretexfor starting
this story i it was a manufactured false

Our town was startled on Friday crun

arrested and lodged in jail in this borough,
by Agib Rickets, Esq., Chief of Police.
Wc tried in vain to asccrtian tho charge
against .Mr. Davenpoit, but could learn
nothing further than that it had been done
in pursuance of llic recent order of the
War Department, clothing sll Chief of
Police with authority to arrest persons
who were suspected ofdisloyal practices,
discouraging enlistments, itc.
Later in the evening two other arrests
were made, viz: George B. Kulp,Rcgistcr
of tho couuty, and E. B. Chase, District
Attorney, They also were committed lo
prison. All three of them petitioned for
a hearing before Judge Conyngham on a
a writ of b,abtas corpus. The Judge
granted .the hearing, aud they were ac
cordingly taken before his Honor on
Saturday morning, when the Chief
Police declined to make his answer until
the expiration ol the time allowed him
three days during which ho could

The Judge then postponed the whole

PRESENT POSITION OF AFFAIRS.
Want of Confidence in Gen, Pope.
Incompetency of General McDowell.
The ISuMlu ol' .IB outlay.
Correspondence of the Haiti more American.
Washington, Sept. 3, a. m.
Washington city was last night in a stato
of great excitement, and not without mo3t
substantial cauic. Ciowds wero gathered
at all tho hotels discussing nnd speculating
on the future, and the announcement that
Gen. McClcllan had been assigned to tho
command of all the troops assembled for
tho defense of Washington was generally
'predicted to mean that before twenty-four
hours should elapso, the whole tinny of
y. nia woud wUhin ,h(J ftrca oftJcrri.
tory under his Jurisdiction.
The facts aro that the Army of Virginia
has been outgeneraled, outflanked, and so
dishceitcncd by tho daily and houily evi
dence of superior generalship on the part
of tho rebels that is now on tho way to Al
exandria, mourning tho loss of many gal
lant olHecrs aud men who havo lost their
lives, or aro suffering from wounds and
cxliaustation, many ot them in the hands
of the rebels. By the time this letter reach
es you tho whole command of General Pope
will have fallen back upon the entrench
ments aud works for the defenco of Wash
ington, under command of Gen. McClel
lan. As far as lean Icara hero the history
of the past three days has becu a success
ion of small disasters both in the front and
rear. Last uight there was a scries of
sliii ruislics along tho whole front, in ono ol
which Brigadier General Isaac I. Stevens
was killed. Ilis color bearer having been
struck down he took the flag up himself I
and was leading ou his troops when ainin
nic ball pierced his forehead and ho in
stautiy fell dead. During tho evening
Geuoarl Kearney sent out a scouting party
in a piece of woods, who reported that
there was no enemy in sight. At a late
hour, having some doubt as to the report
made to him, ho is supposed to have walk
ed out into tho woods hiuuo!f, and was
shot by some of tho enemy's scouta. He
was missing during tho niht, and this
morning his body was sent in by General
Lec, under a flag of truce. It is now hero,
along with Colonel Flcthor Webster, and
General Stevens, being enabled for trans
mission to their families.
Tho whole number of killed and wound
ed in all the battles up to the present time
does not exceed 11,000. In the first bit
tlo on Friday at Bull Hun the loss on tho
federal side did not exceed 4, UUO, although
General Pope announced it at 8,0.0.
What the loss of tho enemy has been, or
whether any of tlicir prominent officers
have suffered, is not known. It is, how
ever, believed to be equal if not greater
than ours.
In conversation with the wounded who
are constantly arriving here, I find that
they have no faith in Gen. Pope's cap.i
city to command a great army, and ridi
cule the pretentious announcements he
put forth at the commencement of the
campaign, with "headquarters in the sad
dle," etc. They complain nf bad gener
alship, and say that the whole campaign
has been without a plan or strategy, and
that he has walked into every trap the
set for him, without foresight or common
prudence.
As to Gen. McDowell, his withdrawal
from the Army of Virginia is a necessity
that the Ptesidcnt can no longer resist.
Not only Jiis own command, but every
other division, denounce him in terms nnd
language that it would not, perhaps, bo
proper to repeat. Suffice it to say that
those lighting under him complain that
his oilers led them constantly to disaster,
whilst he kept himself in safe position;
and other commanders charge him W'th
having failed to proprerly guard and pro
tect the points assigned to him. Intact,
his longer presence, whcthcrlhesccharges
.are true or Calsc, will have a most demor
alizing tendency.
