O.F.F7OLIL PAPER OF THE Qom PITTSBURGH: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUG. 14. ATTRIND TO YOUR OWN AFFAIRS. A reform meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia was held a short time since, wkick4lo4bited the proper spirit ,vith mi,trd to party affairs at this time. The - Obahman,`Wthuse WELSH, Esq„ upon. taking the chair, referred to the short-comings of business men particu larly in neglecting primary.meetings. Here the trouble begins and culminates, and it is as true here as elsewhere; the 11111414110 has the largest stake in the community is the last to give one mo ment to the discharge of his political duties. If invited to go to primary meetings he turns up his nose and refuses to mix with the kind of people who will invariably attend. The smell of onions and whisky drives him to the comfortable conclusion that he is better off at home. He says, "let those attend to those matters who have nothing else to do—it won't pay me." Weak, perhaps wicked men seize the reins of power and convert them to their own purposes. The man who absents - himself has no right to com plain that corruption stalks with brazen front through the halls of legislation and occupies high places. It is altogether too late to remedy this on the day of election, when men are presented, be tween whom, so far as intelligence or integrity is concerned, there is no differ ence. Reform must commence with ourseliree. Let influential, honest men agree to sacrifice some comfrrt, and not ordyattend primary meetings, but accept Once, though it cost some sacrifice of money to do it. Take, for instance; our legislative ticket, the most important office in a republican form of govern ment. Weak men are selected because sarong men will not serve. They refuse to make the slightest sacrifice to serve their State or endeavor to raise her from the rust of corruption into which she is cast, One of the resolutions of this Philadelphia meeting to which we have referred, alludes very properly to this subject by declaring. , That every good citizen should now, if bevel. before, remember that he owes a duty to the government which protects MA and his property, and that no one selaited by the people to fill a station of public trust or responsibility has a right to lefuß.e-it, Without some reason founded in muffed necessity. In our present condition of affairs the man who excuses himself from serving the people because his office don't pay measures his patriotism by his purse.-- Let conventions have the boldness to name those who do do not seek or need the office, who have intelligence and ' integrity, and insist upon their services, and we will soon have an enduring pub lic pride in referring to the management of public affairs. It :s all bosh to indulge in the usual twaddle about having none but the best men for office, and discourse eloquently every year about corruptions if no advance is made at primary meetings and followed up at conven tions, and some sacrifice made by others than those usually stigmatized as politi cians, to insist upon honest men—talk will not accomplish it. There is work to be done and a great deal of it. Let this reform commence now, independent of parties, and we shall all rejoice, not only at the cessation of party strife, but that the officers of our county and State will be properly, economically and honestly administered. EMPLOYMENT OF FORM° N SOLDIERS. The editor of the New York World, who affects to be and doubtless is well posted with regard to the inside move ments of the present Administration, say& that- the intimations which have beau flying through the leading journals for two weeks past, to the effect that Garibaldi had tendered his services to the, _Federal Government, at last prove correct. His offers have been accepted, and he has been tendered an appoint ment as Major-General in the American vohmtear i. army. Although this is given with an air of authority, we can scarcely credit the fact that the red-shirted Italian Zouave will be made a Major-General over the heads of American citizens, who are so well entitled, by education, services and long military training, to occupy that high and honorable position. We hon. no desire to question the courage or capacity of this successful warrior, but WO have very serious doubts of f the pro priety of an imitation of the policy of the British government towards her colonies, by employing Hessians in the prosecution of this war. This is ayor of principle and should be fought by "thoi, who have something at stake, not byforeign hirelings, whose trade is bitiokinid who sell their services to the bOest, bidder. Aside from the fact that" -the government could repose no dance in the loyalty of such leaders, -brave American volunteers would with the same spirit under ihir4:namith commanders of their own / 13 .0** , Imbued with the same l ove -o,Ottlitritand desire to preserve the tratti . tiklikaonlekof the moat brilliant achievements of -tho war have been eire4o„ WO, and IdiU":o4theereiTand 'firm" fought nobly, as. attliefie4 to our people and is tutions by to residence and intall-I°oo"kglidinillegjance to the Mein** :Garibaldi indeed been made .a . :l44jOrAmietier it will be but the atztai-tfii*-4poking hither of a thousand.- old*Orbt Sven torero to seek employmentioooltion under our government.

JUSTICE. Oar amiable cowiii - of the Ziiiipaich is quite animated on the stable - et of a union tickbt, and altogether right in advocating a suspension of party strife in this county this fall, We have advocated a similar course, as did the recent Democratic Con vention. It was, therefore, with surprise that we read the following in the Dispatch of yesterday : " The Post and Gazette are already in a fierce quarrel, which can only result (as Is probably intended) in dividing the friends of the Union, and we shall do what we can to hold them together." We have asked for nothing but fair play In this matter and that the Democracy will have. This love of fair play leads us to ask of our neighbors that we shall be be lieved when we declare in advance of all other organizations, that we aro for our country and not for the spoils of office, and that we do not intend to divide the friends of the Union, as charged by the Dispafeh. We shall hold ourselves open to reproof when this course is departed from; until then, the Democracy, at least, should not be hold responsible for tho bad conduct of others. For the Post. DEMOCRATIC RECORD. MR. EDITOR :—The Democracy of this county held a convention in this city last week and passed the following resolutions: Basked, That we, the Democracy, in convention assembled, representing the wish and desire of the people, do most solemnly declare that the Union of the States and the Constitution of the American Government—made and entered Into by the most enlightened statesmen and purest of Etittrinsottsimerarhaer emb od ied e i l i de siU s 3 n il t r nfitt ur arlrwe7 disunion and rebellion crushes' out by a united peopleorho honor the Star Spangled Banner, and all those who would tarnish Us tame will be brand ed as traitors and remain an eternal blot on the memory of those who take up arms against the country; and we therefore say to the constituted authorities not to spare money in the preservation of the Union, and protecting the Constitution from ruthles s devoilers. Ibtobed, That inasmuch as we are all united in defence of one flag, one Union and one Constitu tion, we can see no good reason for party nomi na tionsat this time. This was not only the unanimous wish of the Democracy, but, by every outward token, the desire of the Republican masses, and so we believe it is yet their wish. This does not suit the appetites of candidates for the emoluments of office. Of course, the candidate for Sheriff, or Prothonotary, or Clerk of the Courts, will proclaim upon every corner that nothing but a straight nomination will save—not the country, poor souls, but the party, from ruin. 14 is, perhaps, asking too much of depraved humanity to forego the immense foes of these fat offices. To attempt an investiga tion into the rottenness of the Court House regency and the absolute theft of the tax. payers' money by this heartless crew, is sure to bring upon the enquirer volumes of abuse, the fear of which permits tax gatherers to escape to foreign lands with thousands in their pockets, and others to remain quietly at home with the people's money in their bureau drawers. We did not start out to disturb these gentlemen— the time has not arrived for that.. We merely wish to unveil the selfishness of as piring demagogues for office, who cry thief, and expect in the general clamor that those who are devoutly intent upon saving their country will permit them to gain their objects without molestation. The war of the revolution, important as it was to the people of that generation and their descendants to create a government, was not more important than the present struggle to maintain it. We are assailed at home by our own people, nurtured to the maturity of strength by the best of governments, the wonder and the pride of all save tyrants--seized by the throat by traitors without respect to party, it does not become us to distinguish who shall repel by force the assassins of our constitu tional liberty. The strong arms and stout hearts of all are demanded. Our brothers and sons are In the field to assert their rights, without regard to what ticket they vote ; so should we who stay at home stand shoulder to shoulder, and with one common voice droilk the scream of partisan bitter- ness, at least until after this momentous struggle has passed. The man who talks of party now cannot be a true friend of his country. The man who stops to talk of the Sheriffalty, with its nine thousand a year, is, of course, chiefly interested in the fat fees, and does not pause at misreprem sentation if that will soave his nomination and election. We are glad to know this Is the case with but few of the Republicans of this county. The people are sound to the core and pa• triotic. We meet them L•y scores, who declare their hostility to the fetters of par tizan warfare. They will not submit to it, and no amount of threats will drive them from their purpose. The members of both parties have become corrupt and demorab. iced ; it is high time to commence anew and drive from high places and low places the vultures who have fattened upon the substance of the people. We thereforepray most sincerely that the leaders of both parties will cease to divide and distract a united people, will continue in defence of 'one Flag, one Union and one Constiy We think the Demo cracy havY:;geset the example and declared their purpose, their motives should not be misrepresented or their patriotism doubt. ed. We are sure such is not the db3posi, tion of the Republican masses, and wo shall part company with the Democratic party forever the moment it denies the right •of this government to assert ice authority and ,mbig#ty though it wilt rivors of blood.

It proved to be an open letter front him assuring her that he was well cared for,but was nut allow ed to go oat of the place of his confine ment, except when attended by a senti nel, and that he had no expeetation of being released until the termination of the war. There have been various sur mises as to the cause of the detention of Messrs. Metlraw and llarris under the circumstances, as their sympathy with the rebels was notorious. It is sup_ posed by some that the imprisonment of Mr. Harris i,; in punishment for his fail ure to fulfill a contract, be is said to have made to fiirnish a lot of arms to the rebels, and for having t coepted an interest in a fat beef contract with the federal government, when compelled by circumstances to abandon the one for 'supplying arms to the rebels. Washingtonians Can't “Keep C 001 .,, A correspondent of the Press, writing from Washington city, says : A calamity has fallen on Washington more terrible than any possible inva sion. Our ice supply has given out, and there is deep grief in the capital. But little ice can be had for love and less for money, and we are in a season of sultry weather. The ice question is the question now,—and instead of discuss. ing the advance of Besuregard, we dis cuss the approach of the next ice car. go. The lovers of juleps and punches and other strange spirituous contrivan ces are in sorrow, and refuse to be com forted; while those whose education in the contrivances, has like my own been sadly and irretrievably neglected, spec ulate upon the unwholesome character of tepid water and drink—lemonade. I saw an ice cart yesterday. It was the last of its tribe, and its passage up the Avenue was a triumphal procession. The driver in his red shirt was almost worshipped, and his iron apparatus was more venerated than the trident of Neptune in the olden time. If the' good people of the North wish to save the capital let them send us a cargo of ice. Oh for an hour of Nova Zembla, and how delightful it must be on Green land's icy mountains General Beauregard Claimed by the The Courrier du Canada of a late date contains tho following paragraph rela tive to the commander of the rebsl army :—The grandfather of General Beauregard, commander of the .South ern army, was a Canadian. His name was Pierre Topton, and he emigrated to New Orleans from Batiscan, in the district of Thrie Rivers, At New Or leans ho made a fortune and rapidly acquired considerable influence among . the French population of Louisiana. As a reward for his political services, :he obtained for his son an admission 7143 a cadet into the Military Academy at West Point, The son figures in the books: under _ the name of Pierre G. Tonton._ Iri the mean time he pur chased an estate near New Orleans, which belled •i*lnregard- When his son obtained hie GM. .*// 118 an officer in the ;army ho- cast- aside - - the humbh3 name.adopted the more arisiocratio one of de-Beaure gard, and thenceforth subscribed hirp self "Pierre Touton de Beaureserd , 4 . 'Zia Emus Simon Cameron and the Contrabands. _ t - ' ll ttrateriiiiint'eflirar ii - daressed an important letter to General Butler, respecting the disposition of fugitive slaves seeking protection at his hands. He states that it is the desire of the President that all existing ifghts in all the States be fully respected and maintained, The war now pros ecuted on the part of the 'federal government is a war for the Union, for the preservation of all constitutional rights of States, and the citizens of the States in the Union. fence no ques tion can arise as to fugitives from ser vice within the States and territories in which the authorities of the Union is fully acknowledged. But he says that in States wholly or in part under insur rectionatry control, where the laws of the United States are so far opposed and resisted that they cannot be effectually enforced, it is obvious that the rights dependant on the execution of those laws must temporarily fail, and it is equally obvious that the rights depend ant on the laws of the State within which military operations are conduct ed must be necessarily subordinate to the exigencies created by the insurree.. tion, if not wholly forfeited by the treasonable conduct of parties claim ing them. To this the general rule of right to services forms an exception. The act of Congress approved August 6, 1861, declares that if persons held to service shall be employed in hostility to the United States, the right to their services shall be forfeited, and such persons shall be discharged therefrom. It follows, ho adds, of necessity, that no claim can be recognized by the mil itary authority of the Union for the services of such persons when fugitives. With respect to the slaves of loyal mas ters, Mr. Cameron says that a careful record should be kept of the name and description of such fugitives, in order that Congress may provide for a just compensation for their services when peace is restored. Gen. Butler is in structed not to permit any interference by his troops with the slaves of peace ful citizens, nor encourage thorn to leave the service of their masters, nor pre vent the voluntary return of any fugi tives to those from whom they may have escaped.

Letter from Colonel Corcora Fr.= the New York Herald. Mrs. Corcoran, wife of the command ant of the Sixty-ninth Regiment, has received the following letter from her husband, now a prisoner at Richmond : RICHMOND, Va., July 29,1861. MY Dies WIFE : I wrote a letter to Captain Skier a few days since, ac quainting him of my being in close con finement here, also Captain Molvor and Lieutenant Connolly, with about thir ty-seven other officers, and six hundred non commissioned officers and privates from various regiments. Among them are Sergeants Murphy and Donohue and thirty-five privates ofmy regiment. We are all in good health. I was very ill for the first two days after my arrest, but feel quite well at present. I am deeply afflicted at the loss of acting Lieutenant Colonel Haggerty, who was among the first that fell on the battle field, and several of my brave soldiers. It is, however, consoling that they at tended to their religious duties for that day. I have had many narrow hair breadth escapes, but God, in his infin ite merely, has been pleased to preserve me. lam uneasy to know the fate of many officers and members whom I had not seen immediately after the battle, among whom arc Captains Thomas Irrancis Meagher and Kavanagh, and acting Adjutant (late Captain) John A. Nugent. My regiment name off the field in admirable order, and was on the road to Centreville, when I halted to rest and await orders for future action knowing that our artillery would' need protection in returning. Two regiments, that had not boon in line, and were re treating in disorder, being on my flank, and when the cavalry were seen advan cing towards us these regiments broke precipitately through my lines, throw ing us into disorder, causing a general flight, I dismounted and crossed a rail fence, over which they had gone, and got the color bearer to halt, calling on the bien to rally round the flag. Just at this moment a discharge of carbines from the pursuing cavalry and from our artillery drowned my voice and destroy ed all my efforts to muter the men. I had only nine men who hoard me and halted, and these s with the two officers and myself, were immediately surround. ed and taken to Manassas. We left there on the following morning, and ar. rived hero on Tuesday. Lieutenants Bagley and Gannon, with two colonels one lieutenant colonel and other officers and privates, arrived here this morn ing. Some of our wounded have. also been brought here, but I have not yet learned their names. give my love to your aunt and William. Your affectionate husband. OnooRAN Proclamation of the Governor of Texas. Mr. Edward Clarke, who sig ns him self Governor of Texas, has issued a proclamation, declaring that it will be regarded as treason for any citizen of Texas to hold any commercial inter course with the inhabitants of any of the loyal States or Territories without special permission. It will also be treasonable for any citizen of Texas to pay any debts now owing• to any citizen or citizens of said States or Territories during the war. The statute of limita tions will cease to run, and interest will not accrue during that period. The Acting Governor then suggests that Texans owing debts to citizens of the United States deposit the amount of these in the Treasurer's office to be retained until the United States shall pay to Texas the large amount now duo her. In return for these, the parties will receive a certificate of deposit from the Treasurer. The people are also warned against purchasing property in Texas now held by residents of the States at war with her, as the Legisla ture may provide for the confiscation of all such property. No act of treason, Whether it may consist of abler comfort to the' enemy, or in language written, printed or spoken, which is intended to comfort or encourage them, will be knowingly permitted." Citizens of the loyal States will no lonker be permitted to visit Taxer, or if any such are now within, her limits, they ,are warned to depart within twenty-fear hours. BODY OR COL.

Pursuant `to the, order* Cold MiletVthe Brigade Advanced frien thiilatimpli#4l,teek their assigned position olilhe heights east of Centreville, about day-brfftit. The Bth Regiment N. Y. S. V., commanded by Lieut.-Col. Stahel, on the left of the road leading from Centreville to Fair fax Court• House; the 29th Regiment N. Y. S. V., commanded by. Col. Stein wehr, on the right of the same road— both fronting, toward the east; the Garibaldi Guard, commanded by Col. Utassy, formed a right angle with the 29th Reghnent, fronting to the South: The artillery attached to the brigade occupied the following position : The battery of Capt. Tisball stood in front of the left wing of the Garibaldi Guard; three pieces left in Centreville were placed near the right wing of the 29th Regiment; three others on the wing of the Bth Regiment, where in trenchments were thrown up by the pioneers attached to the brigade. The last named six pieces were served by experienced artillerists, detached from the 29th and Bth Regiments. The 27th Regiment Pa. V., Col. Einsteen, was detached to the village of Centreville, for the protection of Headquarters and Hospital. Four companies of the 29th Regiment wore detached in front of our position toward the road from Union Mills, to prevent the enemy from out flanking, unobserved, the left wing of the army. During thin - time I received the order to disarm one company of the 12th Regiment, which was promptly executed by two companies of the Bth N. Y. S. V. In this position the brig ade remained until about 4 o'clock, P. M., when I received orders to advance upon the road from Centreville to War renton. This order was executed with great difficulty, as the road was nearly choked up by retreating baggage wag ons of several divisions, and by the vast number of flying soldiers belonging to, various regiments. Nevertheless, owing to the coolness of the commanding offi cers and the good discipline of the men, the passage through the village was successfully executed, and the further advance made with the utmost preci sion; and I was thus enabled to take a position which would prevent the ad vance of the enemy and protect the re treat of the army. The Bth Regiment took position 1i miles south of Centre ville, on both sides of the road leading to Bull Run. The 29th Regiment stood half a mile beyond the Bth, enohiquier by companies. Tho Garibaldi Guard stood as reserve in line behind the 29th Regiment. The retreat of flying eel diem continued until nine o'clock in the evening, the great majority in wild confusion, and but few in collected bodies. Soon afterward, several squad rons of the enemy's cavalry advanced along the road and appeared before fho They outposts. were challenged, "Who comes here r and, remaining without any answer, I, bring juNt present at the outpost, culled "Union forever!" where upon the officer of the enemy's cavalry commanded, "Eu avant ! en avant ! knock him down!" Now, the skirmish ers lirc.d,when the enemy turned around, leaving several killed and wounded on the spot. About nine prisoners who were already in their hands were liber ated by this action. Afterwards, we were several times molested from vari ous sides by the enemy's cavalry. At about midnight the command to leave the position and march to Washington, was given by General McDowell. The brigade retired in perfect order and ready to repel any attack on the road from Centreville to Fairfax Court- House, Annondalo to Washington.-- Beside the six guns which were mount ed by our men and thereby preserved to our army, the Bth Regiment brought in, in safety, two Union colors left be. hind by soldiers on the field of battle. The officers and men did their duty admirably, and the undersigned com mander deems it his duty to express herewith officially his entire satisfaction with the conduct of his brigade. Tho three regiments (the Bth, 29th, and Garibaldi Guards) arrived in Washing ton inorder at 6 o'clock last night, a fter a fatiguing march of nine teen hours. The loss of the brigade amounts to fifteen or twenty killed and wounded at the outposts. Thus far my report of the action taken by my brigade in the engagement on the unfortunate day at Bull 'Run, in a military point of view. It was my intention to defer a final re port for a better and more suitable op portunity, on account of the very un fortunate result of the battle, but I have read since so many reports in newspa pers, where many a high commanding officer pretends to have been in the rear with her brigade, or regiment, at the retreat, that I•am obliged to report, in the most absolute terms, that, acoording to my order, all regiments, 'artillery and stragglers, had passed lny arriero guard at Centreville, and the last artillery at Fairfax Court-House, and that the brig ade under my command marched last across the Long Bridge into Washing ton. I have to add, in conclusion, that the 27th Regiment Pennsylvania Vol unteers, with the exception of Company K, Captain Monninger, which was on guard duty in Centreville village, at headquarters, and under order to escort Colonel Miles's train, retired from Cen treville at about 11 o'clock, without any orders from me, and proceeded to Wash ington.

Of these exceptions many were excluded from special consideration as being purely devotional, or because they' were written either to the national airs of other peoplei; or to those in certain vogue with us, the acknowledged insufficiency of which was the reason for the appointment of this com mittee. After a careful and repeated con sideration of the remainder, the committee are unanimously of the opinion that, al though some of them have a degree of : poetic excellence which will probably Place them high in publl3 favor as lyrical com positions, no one of them is Well suited for a national hymn. They, therefore, make no award.” ES' RXOILBIOR BRIGADE 30 lEN WANTED, TO FILL UP Company E, tith BBglment SICKLES' BRIGABI,.
