UNDERRATING OUR ENEMY:
We observe that another "very re

THE UNION MOVEMENT
We have never known the masses of
the people so thoroughly disgusted at
the action of a conventionitian thby are
at the course pursued bt , the Reisubli
eans Ttireadnir. Laded we havenot
yet met n.fsingli4:indtViduirwho with wil
;.ggjustify and sitetairiAbakaok* T -
A moveMent for a UnioUltateoiiiil
out respect of politics, was at once liimdly
and universally called for. We venture
to say that nine-tenths of the delegates
who attended the conventions of Tues
day are dissatisfied with their own ac
tion. It is not difficult toltebount - for
this. The members of the conventions
each had some political office'-seaking friend
whom he was anxious to gratify. Thus,
-when the very fair and liberal report of
the committee was made, giving a cer
tain number of the offices to Democrats,
office-seeking infipence killed,it. Every
body was willing to have a Union ticket,
but no one was willing that the Demo
crate should have that office for which
his own particular friend was a candi
date. Thus the Un ion design was de
feated in the Republican Conventions,
and they have placed themselves on re-
I cord, as preferring their party to their
country.
The Union men will not, however,
support the purely partisan, "straight
out" ticket of the Republican party.—
The people have become disgusted at
the management of hackneyed politi—
cians, who think of nothing bat them
selves, and they are determined to take
a hand at their own affairs, without re
gard to the politicians.
We publish to-day a call for a
Union Convention, signed by repu
table citizens of all parties, to nomi
nate a Union ticket. This patriotic
movement meets with the entire appro
val of people of all classes. Politics, they
are determined,shall bediaregarded, and
that a ticket of the very best men in the
county shall be placed in the field.—
This convent ion will carry out what the
Republicans proposed to do, but failed.
They will act as Union men should act
—regardless of what men's political pro
clivities were previous to the 15th of
April.
The Republicans of Ohio have issued
a call, similar in character, for a State
Convention, but our Republicans of Al
legheny county have taken a partizan
stand, like that of the anti-war Demo
crats of that State. This course of se
tion will never be sustained by an hon
est, patriotic people anywhere, and, least
of all, by the men of Allegheny county,
who have so bravely sustained 'their gov
ernment in this war.
When it shall meet, this 'convention
will decide for itself upon the proper
apportionment of the nominations be
tween' the men of former parties. It
will be composed of good men, and,
coining directly from the people, they
will be prepared to speak and act for the
people, and not for the politicians.—
They will place in
. the field a People's
Ticket, composed of national men, and
political hacks will stand no chance
with them.
PARTY AcrioN.
It is obvious to us on every side that
the present perils of the Government
render a political party contest here
this fall both untimely and distasteful
to the people. Who now, except a pro
fessional office-seeker,conld find pleasure
inla party struggle ? The question is
not upon what principles the govern
ment of the country shall be adminis
teAd, but whether we shall have a gov
ernment at all. At a time of imminent
peril, like the present, there is no neces
sity for party action. We should all of
us be willing to make every personal
sacrifice—to forego every personal ad
vantage—in order to compact the sen
timent and energies of the whole people
in this great struggle.
TO CORRESPONDENTS
We cannot make glad our correspon
dent " Whole Country," as he supposes.
The article upon " State Sovereignty"
is well written, but the question has
been so often discussed that we deem it
inopportune to publish the article at the
present time.
We frequently receive communications
like : those we have referred to above,
which are purely political in their ammo
ter, Now is not the time for such things.
As for ourself—our political heart lies
buried in Illinois ; it is in Douglas' coffin,
and we shall pause till it comes back to
us, which will not be while this war lasts.
Now, our only aspirations are net for
party, but our country.
Cot. 0. H. RIPPEY is getting on finely
with his regiment, which is announced
to leave for Washington on Saturday.
Col. Rippey is a gentleman who fully
understands his duties, and no soldier
who goes into,ffervice under him will
'Over have "cause for regret for so doing.
CoL Rippey is a thorough soldier.
THE Vermont state election, so far
as reported, gives a return of forty-sev
en representatives elected, of which
thittY-nine are Republicans,eight Union
and one Democrat. The election shows
:generally a complete breaking up of
14 1 ,tty line,.
Tax way to have peace is for th e
`secession is to go home and obey the
hos as their ancestors did. There will
-be peace then at once. They can have
eace on the same terms that their
<fathers bad it, and on none other.
SINCE the Richmond papers an
nounced the surrender of Rosecrans to
Lee, the government at Washington
has received direct advices from the,
foimer intimating that he and his corn
miuid are all right.

ANOTHER SPEECH FROM MR.
HOLT.
Hon. Joseph' Holt, of Kentucky, has
just made, in New York city, another of
those glorious speeches for4tioNnioui
by which he has so much erideared hiiti
„..
self to the hearts of his fellow •ciitintty
men. His eloquence is ail vektuked,
and his words are words of gold. *e.
make the following extract, regretting
that we have not space for the entire
speech :
Fellow citizens, I know that there ski°
some men—few it is true—who do sin
believe that this ;republic; the
question of public honor out of the ques
tion out of view,—that this republic
could' be severed and that a peace
could be patched up. and that two gov
ernments therefore could live on pros
perOusly and peacefully as before. No
more false or fatal thought ever crept,
serpent-like, into the great American
bosom (sriea of "That's so"). Teu might
as well tell me that the boat which has
been drifting above the cataract of Nia
gara will have a tranquil voyage --
(Apptause.) If you will go and stand
as many of us have done amid the ruins
of crumbled empires of the old world,
and ask them, and they will all tell you
it is a delusion. If you will go into
the cemetery of nations and lay your
ear to the sepulchres of those young,
and generous, and high-spirited na
tions, that have perished amid the con
vulsions of civil strife, they will an
ewer you in accents of broken-hearted
nesa-s-it is a delusion. And if you will
notlidten to the voice of the past, then
go into Mexico and South America, and
ask the inhabitants of these bright ends
breathed upon by the most favored of
climates in the earth, occupying soils
of unexhaustless fertility, living amid
rivers, lakes and mountains of grand
inspiration, and they will lift up their
bowed heads amid demoralization, pov
erty and dishonor, and will tell you—
it is a delusion. (Great applause.)—
'Fellow citizens, I rejoice to believe—
may I not say to know?—that the spirit
of loyalty at this time dwells rieh y and
abundantly in the popular heart of the
North and West. (Cries of -yes yes,'
and applause ) But I do beseech you
—you who have a deep stake in the
present and future of our country—you
men of culture and of fortune, of moral
power—l do implore you that you will
by all means add yet to this power and to
the fervor of that loyalty, fur if it grows
cold amid calculations of avarice, and
1 craven in the discouragernents of fear.
our country will be everoome. What
we need is a patriotism that will abide
the ordeal of fear—a patriotism that is
purged from all selfishness and from all
fear—which is heroic and exhaustless,
which vows with every throb of life,
that if repulsed it will rally—if stricken
down it will rise again; under the pres
suve of no circumstances of defeat, or
soh-ow, or suffering, shall the Rational
flag be abandoned, or the honor
of the country compromised. (Great
applause.] What we need is a patrio
tism that rises fully to the comprehen
sion of the actual and awful perils in
.which our institutions are placed, and
which is eager to devote every power of
body and mind and fortune to their de
livery,a patriotism, which obliterating
all party lines, treniendious and con
tinued applause), and entombing ail
party issues, says to the President
of the United States: "Here are
our lives and our estates; use them free
ly; use them completely, and use them
sucessfully— for, looking upon the
graves of our fathers and upon the cra
dles of our children, we Lave sworn
that though all things else shall perish,
this country and government shall tiro."
(Tremendous applause.) It is such a
patriotism and such only that will con
duct you through safely. .1 rejoice to
believe that this spirit has been every
where awakened throughout the loyal
states. The capitalists of the country
have oothe nobly forward (great ap
plause), and risking all, they have ex
hibiied a grandeur of devotion to the
country which, while it will astonish
the people of Europe, has inspired the
admiration and gratitude of every true
American heart (App.) All honor to
them:they have proved that if there is
gold in Wall street, there is more patri
otism, (great cheering),not common pa
triotism, not summer patriotism which
flourishes amid the paeans of victory,
but a patriotism which struggles and
sacrifices, and is prepared to put all
things to hazard, even in the winter of
adversity and in the very hour of nation
al defeat. Unless this country can
thus be saved, the sun of our national
light which is now obscured may yet
go down forever amid storms and dark
ness—and if all our great material in.
terests are crushed to earth by the
shadow that is passing over that sun,
what will be our condition if that shad
ow should deepen into permanent
night ? Is there nothing to live for
but the gains of commerce, nothing
but the embellishment of estates, and
must personal ease and comfort be - our all
aim—and is courage and manhooa and
honor and loyalty, and the respect of
the world nothing ? Is it nothing to
leave that flag and that country with-
I out a future for ourselves or for our
children, and to stand forth the degen
erate and the base descendants of illus
trious sires? (Loud cheers.) We
might lay ourselves in the dust, and
be stripped by traitors' hands of all that
ennobles and sweetens human life, and
still live on as do the cattle of the
fields, but our lives would be more ig
noble than theirs. If, with all our vast
material resources; if, with our known
and acknowledged physical superiority
over the rebels; if, with our clamors of
profuse avowals of devotion to our in•
stitutions, we suffer that rebellion to
triumph over us, I do freely believe
that the American name would become
a stench in the nostrels of the world,and
that an American citizen would not be
permitted to walk the streets of a Euro
pean capital without having the finger
* oracorn pointed at him. [Tremendous
`cheering]. Fellow-eitizens, if I Might,
be permitted to utter a word upon each
a subjeist,r :would earnestly counsel
forbearance tte4-petinuce 14 reference,

such as have rested upon no public man
in our country, and he is fully entitled

A. Voice from the Hermitage.
Read what 'that stern old Roman,
Andrew Jackson, said of the men whom
in prophetic vision he saw rising to
destroy the• Union of the States. On
the Ist of May 1833, Andrew Jackson,
then holding the highest public trust
in the gift of our country, wrote a pri
vate letter to his friend, the Rev. A J.
Crawford, of Georgia, which letter is,
in part, as follows:
I have had a laborious task here, but
nulification is dead, and its actors and
courtiers will be remembered by the
people- only to be execrated for their
wicked designs to sever and destroy the
only good Government on the globe,and
that prospeity and happiness we enjoy
over every other portion of the world.
Haman's gallows ought to be the fate
of all such ambitious men, who would
involve our country in civil war, and
all the evils in its train, that they might
reign and ride on its whirlwind, and
direct the storm. The free people of
these United States have spoken, and
consigned these wicked demagogues to
their proper doom. Take care of your
nullifiers—yon haie them among you.
Let them meet the indignant frowns of
every man who loves his country.
"The tariff, it is well known, was a
,were pretext." He thengives the
proof of this afforded by the recent
course of C,llloun, and his tools in Con
gress, on the new tariff bill, which they
voted for, although it greatly increased
the duties on course woolens and other
articles _consumed by the South, and
closes with these words:) "Therefore,
the tariff was only the pretext, and dis
union arid a Southern Confederacy the
real object. The next pretext will be
the negro or slavery questior,!"

Hatteras Inlet.
Hatteras Inlet is of modern origin,
having beon formed by the tides. It
is not laid down in ordinary maps, but
is indicated in Professor Baohe's maps
of the coast survey.
The Missouri War.
-As we expected, says the Missouri
Republican, the Confederates are not
inclined to show fight in Missouri. As
soon as an advance is talked of they
pack up their baggage and march further
South to keep out of the way of battle.
The report is and it is,no doubt reliable,
that Hardee and Jeff. Thompson are
falling back on New Madrid. Indica
tions about Ironton and Cape Girardeau
cemoestrated that a forward movement
of the Federal forces was on the tapis.
If, as we suppose, Hardee had left
Greenville, and Thompson has re
returned from Benton, their manwuvre
has not been executed too soon. Gen.
Prentiss is in the field with a goodly
army, having moved from Pilot Knob
a few days sinoe. He will probably
make a junction with a body of Union
soldiers from Cape Girardeau, and pen
up the invaders in the extreme South
east, to be operated on,at leisure.
This will establish an almost contin
uous line from Rolla to the Mississip
pi, below Cape Girardeau, flanked on
the west by a cordon of military posts
extending from the terminus of the
Southwest Branch Railroad, up the
Missouri river above Jefferson City.
Thus St. Louis and the State Capitol
will be amply protected from Approach
by way of the South, and with the !Tee
wife:temente constantly rlintillki the
State can, undoubtedly, be bed wdnat
all -owners:

Secession Subsiding.
Tho news of the state of affairs in
the:country is taVorabl,e, The.ieeession
fever is lianifestly hinting itself out.
The in KinztuaitY-Are more
firm ., in theiood cause than ever. The
invaders of Misilionri are falling back
toward and into Arkansas. Gen. Rose
crane is advancing his column in West
ern Virginia. The destitution and
sickness in Ibe rebel camps in Eastern
Virginia is demoralizing tho army.
Gen. McClellan desires nothing so
much as an attack upon Washington.
The latest news from Washington in
dicates no military movements of im
mediate importance, though all symp
toms prove the rapid approach of great
events.
The Mint.
A report of the operations of the
United States Mint for the month of
August, shows that the gold deposits
amounted to $5,040,018, the silver pur
chases to $601,316, and copper cents
received in exchange for now cents
$5,810, making an aggregate of ' $5,-
647,174. The gold coinage in the same
time was $7,261, 835, mostly in double
eagles. The silver coinage in the same
time was $444,720, and of new oents
$9,000, making an aggregate coinage
of $7,715,055. The total number of
pieces coined during the month is three
millions, thirty-two thousand, two hun,
dred and fifty.four.
Promotion of German Voltiloro
Major-Gen. McClellan is a statesman
as well as asoldier. He has taken three
German officers from Gen. Blenker's
staff, and giving to each the promotion
of a grade, attached them to his own
staff. He did this, as he said, to show
that the foreign and the native born bad
equal rights, as well as duties in the sup
pression of this Rebellion, and that the
adopted citizens, so far as he was con
cerned, shoald share with the native
born in the honors as well as the dan
gers of battling for the Republic.

will work all the harder and all the better
for our victory, drilling our men and con
solidating our re:sonnet. The northern
alien wilt 1. , 0e01110 di‘coutented. Foreign
nations will ask when tho cotton 'orbs are
to be open. The North will have no reply.
We shall be better able to light in Novem•
her than we shall be to fight in June
Every week's delay will add to the coin
plicatu.ns and weakness of the North, and
the end of the year will find them further
front their aim than ever—divisions in
their councils, even disturbances in their
po ointions, while we, inspired by the ape
peach of s...ccese, will exhibit increasing
energy and ut.eniailly." A part of the
programme has been r !ready accomplished,
bet it does oct follow that the remainder
of the prophecy will be :ulfilled with as
much nicety.
So far, the result of the action of the 21st
bag been the eroloagatioe of the war •in
America The effect It may have had
abroad will be known In a few day more.
It is plain now that the Confederates were
not only really unable to pursue their ad•
vantage, but that they were not at first
aware i t t its extent. They suffer from de
ficient transport, and are better prepared
for defence than for attack. Their army
was almost us much "scared, " to use an
English word in am Americas way, as the
Federalists, if the reports are to be believed
of confusion, wavering and retreat In their
ranks—and of the passionate exertions of
the officers, as well as of their losses.
In fact, the; Genf ederaies stand before the
world stripped of a good deal of the strength
of which they boasted In actual numbers;
and it is a poor cover to their weakness
to put forward the assertion that only a
small portion of their force was engaged,
when It is notorious that they had sent to
all quarters for reinforcements, and, above
all, when it is considered that, by using
all the men at their disposal, they could
have forced the mass of the Federalist
army to surrender prisoners of war, and
have occupied the capital. Their opera
tions up to this time, indicate hesitation
and want of vigor; but it is Just possible
they may be preparing to strike some
great blow.
THE ItEBELB NOT CONFIDENT.
There is less of that wild, guerilla sort
of work between the two armies than was
formerly the case, but the attitntie of the
Confederates is not that of a very confident
or aggressive force. One does pot hear
either of the vigorous advices to drive the
enemy from the sacred soil of Virginia,
which were so rife, nor of the hot menaces
to take Washington, nor even of the earn..
eat promises to liberate Maryland and other
afflicted portions of the slaveholding sister.
hood. There may be policy in this, and,
notwithstanding the growling opposition
of one or two papers in the South to the
men and measures of the war, the influence
of Mr, Jefferson Davie is quite sufficient
to induce the press to keep its peace or
adopt any tone ho may suggest in further.,
