The dele gatemeetingsicir the Repub
lican County Conventions will be held
this afternoon in town and country, at
which time four delegates will be elected
—two to each county convention—both
contentions to meets ort„Tuesday, Sep
' tember, 3d, at 10 o'clock a. m., as fol
lows: The Judiefil Convention to as

President Judge of Com Mon Pleas, an
Associate Law Jude of District court,
and an Associate Judge of Common
Pleas, one Senator and five members of
the House of Representatives, and Direc
tor of thaPoor. 2.- The. Political Con
vention tamee. at the Court Rouse, to
nominate Sheriff, Coroner, Prothono
tary; Treasurer. and Commissioner..
'The Democratic organization, neither
- bq convention, nor committee, advised
or recommended any interference with
the Republicans in this matter. Neither
do they desire it, their delegates have
been canvassed for, and are already. as
good as chosen. To invite Democrats
into their primary, meetings would be to
oblige them to vote for their delegates,
or place in nomination men of their own
choice. They would, if elected, in
sufficient number perhaps contest
every office, and demand, as a right,
that which is intended •to be gries as a
measure of justice, and in a spirit of
magnanimity. The call of the County
Committee in the Gazelle reads, Republi
can aunty anuentions. Not a Unrion
Convention, to be held without respect
to former party distinctions. They never
intended it as such. Yet many of the
better disposed Republicans insist upon
a division of the offices with Democrats,
not under constraint, not because they
are obliged to do it, but simply through
the desire to break down for this year, a
least, pitrty strife, and its attendant dan
gerous and demoralizing .tendencies.
This can be done only by an, unmixed
Republican Convention, which, it con
ducted fairly, and its members actuated
by the spirit professed by many of the
leading men of the Republican party,
the merit will be all their own—bearing,
also, the whole responsibility of a differ
ent course. Theretore, Democrats have
no business to in terfere with the dele
gate meetings this evening, as Demo
crats. They can do EIQ good as partizans,
and their presence may give rise to dis
putes and provoke the very condition
of affairs we are so anxiou s to avert.—
The Republican committee did not
recommend to their own party to divide
the delegates with them, they have sim
ply intimated after their convention ail
s embled , certain officea would be as
signed, which it is admitted the Republi
can party has the power to retain.
Let the Republican Conventions per
form their part, fairly, honorably and
equitably, and they may appeal with
safety to the voters of the county. Let
them tut exhibit a disposition to scram
ble for office and their ticket will fare
no better fate than their protestations
The details of the arrangement we must
leave to the Republican Conventions,
but would intimate that it will be ex
pected if Democrats are to be called
into ITition, they will not be selected
by Republicans, but by an authorized
bemooratio
i"ket BOGUS GERMAN.
We have received a very stupid letter
from J. G. Backofen, which he doubt
less intended to be severe. He goes so
far as to intimate that we de not un
derstand the German language, and are
therefore incompetent to expose his
treacherous conducttowards this govern
ment. Who informed Mr. Backofen
that we do not understand the German?
It is of a piece with his other base in
sinuations. We have paid attention to
this euphonious language since our
childhood, and associated with Ger
mans all our lives. We have drank
enough of "lager" to absorb all its
idioms. We understand it better than
we do the Irish, and speak it more flu
ently than the French. We only hesi
tate when we come to translate Back
ofen's German, it is so abominable. He
is a spurious German.
UNION CONVENTION .IN BEAVER
COUNTY.
We have received the proceedings of
a convention held in Beaver county on
the 24th of August, in which all parties
united and placed in the field a Union
ticket. made up of reliable men. The
resolutions were patriotic and breathed
the true spirit. Hon. Thomas Cunning
ham addressed the convention in his
usual eloquent and manly style.
The Po&Mon of England.
Mr. Adams, Minister at St. James
writes that in the British mind the
independence of the rebels is fully ad.
mitted as a_military and political neces
sity ; that their acknowledgment by
England is but a question of time and
prudent courtesy. That while Britain
is impatient to get cotton from the
South in exchange for manufactured,
goods, she is anxious not to lose North
ern markets, and is unwilling to part
with her hope of breaking down the
Morrill Tariff, by the same means with
which She chained the North with the
Walker Tariff ; and that two or three

Mr.•Potter:s Committee have reported
from the beginning of their examination
to the several Departments the follow
ing number of disloyal employees : State

67 ; War Department, 34 ; Navy Depart
ment, 13 ; Post-Office Department., 23;
labrior Department, 32 ; Attorney-Gen
eral's Department, 16 ; total, 138. Those
reported to the Attorney-General are
magistrates in this District. Some of
these persons were removed before the
report was made. Some of the Secretaries
have acted with great promptness. Se
cretary Cameron declares that he will
remove all reported by the Committee
—that not even a suspected person shall
be employed in his Department.
The Committee yesterday reported
Mr. Sanderson, chief-engineer of the
Yankee. He was immediately dis
charged. He bad expressed the hope
that the Confederate flag might float over
the Capitol, and otherwise freely venti
lated his treason. He is exceedingly
indignant at his removal. The sessions
of the Committee are suspended for a
day or two, Mr. Potter being obliged to
leave town on business of the Commit
tee. One of those reported disloyal in
the State Department was discharged
early in April. The other two, a mee
senger and watchman, have been sus
pended until the investigation.

The mails are forwarded from Eng

England on tha 10th and 26th.
Traitorous Correspondence.
The amount of treasonable correspond
ence has become so great lately that
the time of several clerks in the Gov

The Rebels at Chain Bridge.
The enemy's forces were concentrated
in largo numbers a short distance from
the Chain Bridge, on the Virginia side
of the Potomac. It is estimated that
there are twenty thousand rebels on
the Potomac, between the Chain Bridge
and Leesburg.
TER petiple - of Belfast, Me , are great-

of boxes in that city from Boston, con
taining muskets cartridges ./ and other
munitions of war, which have gone into
the hands of about 250 men who have
openly proclaimed their disloyalty to
the government, and organized them_
selves into a company, without any au
thority from the State, declaring it their
object to resist any attemp t made to
draft any member in their ranks into
military service and the payment of war
taxes.
GENERAL bicCuLLotrates rebel army
was, at the last accounts, marching
toward Jefferson city as fast as possible.
Troops were collecting there rapidly for
its defence. Seven thousand men were
already there, and a good supply of
artillery and cavalry. Detachments of
United States troops were kept actively
operating in the whole neighboring
country against scattered parties of
rebels.

Heenan and the Champion Belt.—Hla
Challenge Accepted by Mace.
Jim Mace, who recently whipped the
Staleybridge Infant, has replied to
neenan's challenge, and signifies his
readiness to fight. He is ready to make
a match for £2OO to £5OO per side,
either before or after his earning fight
with King. The matter, as far as the
"American Champion" is concerned, is
in the hands of his friend, George Wil
kes, and it is said by-him-that he expects
soon to be able to announce Heenan's
assent to the propositions of Mace, and
the arrangements of the preliminaries.
Heenan challenged any man in England
for, .42,000 (or $10,000), but Mace

The editor of the Pittsburgh Cat/wilt:,
says:
"It is said that we are too much infavor
of the Administration, AO much so fadeed
ss to have become. Open-peirtizans... This
we deny: The great trouble 'with:limy
good persons now-a-days, is that they.eane
not cease to be partizans. They stall con .
tines to repeat by rote the lessons taught
them from the stump last fall, and they
forget that circumstances have wofally
changed. W hile there were merely quev ,
tions of party policy, we never interfered
in their discussion. But now the very ex
istence of the American nation quivers in
the balance, its lot depends on the issue of
battles, and in this, the great danger of
oar country, we consider it to be a con
scientioua duty to do our best to support
the Government, and to enable it to put
down rebellion. We relieve that the re.
cognition of the Southern Confederacy
would by the ruin of the whole country,
North, South, East and West; and we
think we ought to do what we can to pre
vent so dire a calamity. Now, to prevent
it, the Government mast be supported.
If we are to quarrel amongst ourselves,
the enemy will surely be victorious. We
take not the slightest interest in the per•
sonal fortunes of Simon Cameron, Gideon
Welles, Montgomery Blair, S. P. Chase,
or William H. Seward. We know that
some of these are bitterly opposed by men
of their own party, and If the President
were to give some or all of them leave to
retire to private life, we Nibuld not be
grieved nor rejoiced, unless in so far as
we would consider the public weal altmted
We believe many things could and should
have been better \ managed than they have
been; that there could have boen a more
correct appreciation of the character of the
rebellion, more energy in preparing to
meet it, and better generalship in the
management of our troops. But with all
its faults, it-is better to have some govern.
moat than no government at all; and we
condemn all opposition to the present Ad.
ministration, that merely seeks to impair
its efficiency. without in any way promor
ting the public good. Let each and every
member of the Cabinet be urged to do his
duty; if he do it not, let the pressure of
public opinion ce brought to bear upon
him; but let not the Administration be
opposed merely because it is not Demo
erotic, or because somebody's friend may
hisyn bo-n removed from some Custom
liouse or Post-office.”.
"As to what are called the unconstitu
tional measures of. he Administration, all
we have to any is that we are content to
stand on the platform of the brave Union ,
men of Kentucky. The resolutions offered
during the extraordinary session of Con•
gress by the venerable Crittenden, and
adopted by the House and Senate, set forth
that ibis - war was forced on the Govern.
ment by the insurgent States,
and must be
waged until the authority of the Govern•
meet is restored, When the Supreme
Court shall have formally decided that the
President has not the right to suspend the
writ of Habeas Corpus, (if it ever will give
such a decision) we shall advocate implicit
submission to its award. As it is, the
question is undecided, and the Presti:ent,
if he chooses to run the risk, can avail
himself of the benefit of the doubt. After
the war is over, he can be called to render
en account of his action in this regard.—
The Government, up to the present, has
even gone oet of its way to show its re
-131 eet for the Fugitive Slave Law; and in
this we heartily.approve of its comae. No
evil can be conjured up equal to that of
slave insurrections, and we trust that nei
ther the passions of bad !men nor the course
of events, will ever bnng the country to
such a pars. And to prevent this evil, the
best way is to be faithful to oar constitu
tional obligations, and to impress on the
minds of the slaves the idea that this war
is waged, not to free thorn, but to restore
the m.bority of the legitimate Federal
Government."
Tlll3 CALOIUM-LIGHT SHARPSHOOT
liHS is the name of a regiment now be
ing organised in New York. They are
to be employed in night attacks with
the-aid of the oalcium•light, which has
the dotiblu advantage of rendering the
position on which it is reflected as visi
ble-as at midday and blinding the ene
my against whom it is directed. The•
first experiment with the apparatus was
made near Weehawken on last Monday
night, under the auspices of Professor
Grant. A report of the proceedings
says :
,"A small imitation of a masked bat
tery, wherefrom, amid a mass of
green branches peered forth what seem
ed the muzzles of two guns was the
object of the evening's hostilities, and
when 'night came on, the brilliant cal
cium light was thrown upon them, re
vealing everything as by daylight, and
they were riddled at leisure by the
sharpshooters. The light was thrown
and the firing done from a distance of
about two hundred yards. Here, let
it be obser red, that it is required in
this regiment that each rifleman shall
be up to Col. Berdan's test."
The regiment will comprise a olrps
of pyrotechnists armed with projectiles
of the most detractive character, not
the least important of which is an. in.
cendiary shell which will weigh but a
few pounds, can be thrown aecurately
half a mile, (onus, when fired, a ball of

dition, and in all respects ready to take
the field. The camps are wonderfully
neat, and the sentinels salute each other
with the precision of regulars , . Officers
have been specially detailed to enforee

Serenade to lion. Joe Holt.
BOSTON, Aug. 27.
Several thousand people gathered
around. the.„ Tremont House to-night,
the occasion: being a serenade to Hon.
Joseph HoSt; of Kentucky. After ap
yropnite ails by the band, Mr. Holt
-appeared on
_the steps of the hotel and
was introduced to therowd by Edward
Everett, who made some complimentary
and very patriotic remarks.
Mr. Holt was received with earnest
enthusiasm and spoke about fifteen min
utes.
Mr. Holt said he came to Boston not
only to sea the city, but to revive hie'
patriotism amid the thrilling 8880°4' 7
tions that clustered around the cradle
of liberty. He was most gratefully
surprised by the cordiality, of his recep
tion, and was thankful for that recogni
tion of fidelity to our common country;
and also for the kind allusions to his
native State, whose stars had been So
long obscured by unfaithful public men,
but which were now preparing to shine
with the lustre of other days. She had
assumed her position under no impulse
of passion, but calmly and in view of
all the gloom and peril surrounding the
Union; she says she loves it still and
will cling to it as she has in its strength
and glory. That which she so nobly
declared at the ballot box it was her
duty to make good on the battle-field,
and what she had so well beam' must
be faithfully performed. Fall would
be . the measure of his joy when he
went home, to see Kentucky and Mas
sachusetts on the same field of danger,
rebuking those traitorous men that
strove to make them enemies. In his
recent extended tour he had nowhere
found the public voice faint. ale flag
must be vindicated. He nowhere heard
the word "compromise"—a word now
only uttered by disloyal lips, or those
in the interests of rebellion. So long
as rebels have arms in their hands, there
was nothing to compromise, but the
honor and integrity of the government.
One great peril cannot be disguised;
the capital was menaced by agreat army
and othing but our swords could save
it. They were powerful and reckless,
and not less so because the'Kweie fight
ing to maintain a crime (kaoline and
his co-conspirators fell with faces to the
enemy, and so would the rebel leaders
of the South.
Ths more prompt, earnest and united
we were, the briefer the struggle and
the less the danger. But we must be
prepared for the worst; a ruined com
merce, bankruptcy, grass growing in
the streets. Our institutions were
; worth all we could sacrifice, for all we
are and have are the fruits of those in
stitutions.
If we think of our lands, gold, mer
elandise, houses or blood, in contrast
with honor and integrity, we are lost
Mr. Holt alluded to disloyalty in our
midst as one of the worst obstacles to
the success of our cause, but rejoiced
in the late decided measures of the
President to subdue this element of
wink neo , . It was in vain to toil at the
pumps while men were kept on board
boring boles in the bottom of the ship.
The address of Mr. Holt wag received
with the greatest enthusiasm.
Robert Ewing.
The Democratic County Convention
yesterday made .a step in the right di
rection, in its nomination for the re
sponsible position of Sheriff; which we
wish could have been followed in all
the legislative and other nominations.
Robert Ewing, the gentleman who hes
been made the standard-bearer in the
approaching contest, by a singular unan
imity that most be a source of honest
pride to him, is so well and favorably
known in this community that any ex
tended notice of his life must be super.
fluous.
Mr. Ewing is a native of Maryland
and a descendant of its earliest settlers,
but at the age of eighteen years came
to this city and has since then been
actively engaged in the wholesale dry
goods trade, combining, in a remarka
ble degree, the energy and integrity
characteristic of a high-toned Phila
delphia merchant. In the war of 1812
be held a Lieutenant's commission.
While a young man he came in pos
session, by inheritance, of a large num_
ber of valuable slaves, whom he imme
diately emancipated, refusing to receive
any benefit whatever from teat source.
Ho was tendered by President Pierce
the post of Treasurer of the Mint and
Sub-Treasurer of the United States,
which he declined. In the present
national struggle he has been a staunch
and loyal supporter of the Government
in its efforts to suppress the rebellion
since the moment of, the opening gun
on Fort Sumter. It is exceedingly for
tunate, at this time, that one of our
great political parties should succeed
in presenting for public support so un
exceptionable a candidate.—[lnquirer.]

CARTRIDGES FOE WISCONSIN-AP
PRERENSIONS FROM INDIANS.—Eighty
thousand ball cartridges were shipped
from this city to Milwaukee yesterday.
The object of this shipment is presumed
to be a precautionary one on the part of
the Wisconsin authorities t who -have
recently obtained information which
leads to a fear that the Indians inhab
iting the northern portion of that State
contemplate hostile" demonstrations
against the frontier settlements. In
some parts of the State, we learn, fear
of the Indians has caused a considers;
ble number of the inhabitants to lewie
their homes and seek a place of greater
security. The Indiana.who have been
the immediate cause of these apprehen
sion& are the Menomonees.—Miltoasicie
