1r WON'T DO.
The meanest style of electioneering
resorted to by any newspaper we have seen
is that adopted by the Gazette. There is a
disposition to gather scum and present it to
the residers of that journal, as the only food
fit- for their consum ptlon. Wherever a

ship or county meeting in which Demo
crats have had.a hand, it is thrust forth as
the doctrine of the Democratic masses, and
must be especially applicable to them in
Allegheny County, and winds up its waz
tery and childish barrangue with an appeal
to Republicans to eta nd by a straight tick

township, Venango County, are opposed to
the suppression of newspapers—and then
aye : "And yet these are the men, with

agraph ie ever seen in the Gazette endorse

people in favor of sustaining the Govern

tions. There is no room in that journal to
note the thousands of meetings ail over
-Mke country to this end, but whenever a
two-penny newspaper or a single individ
ual, however humble, so that he was a
Democrat, finds a prominent place, and
the selfish ; miserable appeal, is made to the
great Republican party of Allegheny
County—don't forget our party.
If we were to devote our attention to
gathering this kind of scum and select Re•
publican newspapers or Republican leaders
who daily abuse the Administration, and
hold the masses of that party responsible,
we should fill our paper daily, and find no
two to devote to an honest, loyal and un
flinching support of the Government
Whilst the grand appeals of Meagher, and
Milt, and Diekenion are ringing through
oat the land, and every patriot heart exults
midi - caps for joy that party lines are anni

strifes buried. Whilst the eloquence of

forts in the field, where herculean efforts
are required to preserve the very existence
of our Government, the editor of the Ga •

bigoted teachings.
AN ELECTION ON PRINCIPLE.
It is a source of, great gratification to all
ifood citizens to observe that the people are
so . . unanimous in their determination to
vote at the coming election upon principle
, glad not from party predilictions. The
sentiment tgat an endorsement of the goy..
ernment in its war policy is eminently due
from Allegheny Conn ty is universal. This
can only be done by disregarding strength,
party nominations, and electing a Union
ticket. The only opposition to such an

froplOrOly whose desire for office is greater

seekers and the trammels of partizanship.
THE BATTLE IN MISNOURi.
There appears to be no doubt that Muir

surrender to Oen. Price, being deprived of
Water and over powered by exhaustion and

NOT SO
CHANGED HANDS.
The sudden disappearance of some
twenty millions held on account of the
Southerners in New York has called the
attention of Secretary Seward to be di
xected to the matter. He has issued a
circular in explanation of the Confises
tion act for the benefit of the United
States marshals and district attorneys,
in which he states that the law only con
templates the seizure of such property
as may be in transit to or from insur
rectionary States, or used for the promo
tion of the rebellion, and that real es
tate, bonds, promissory notes and mon
eys on deposit are not subject to confis
cation in the absence of evidence of such
unlawfulness. There are large amounts
of money in the banks of New York
belonging to parties in the rebel States,
who have no sympathy with the rebel
lion, and which, according to the under
standing of the District Attorney, are
equally liable to seizure with the prop
erty of those who are known to be in
arms against the Union. -Ills interpre
tion has caused great difficulties among
some of the moneyed corporations, and
has a tendency to drive loyal Southern
ers to Europe for the investment of their
unds; but, as will be seen, Mr. Seward
takes a different view of the intention
of the law, and interprets its meaning
to be applicable only to those who are
active in fostering the rebellion. •
The example of other nations as well
as our own sense of right inculcate the
duty of proving true to the trusts which
we voluntarily assume. In the war of
. 1,41 . 2. money and private property were
respected in great Britain the same as
British, and British property in New
York was held equally sacred by our
government, laws and people. In the
Urimean war Great Britain paid to Rus
sia the interest on consols precisely the
same as if they had not been at war,
and Russian securities were publicly sold
1
on the London stock exchange during
the whole term of the war. In the last
war with Austria Louis Napoleon gave
the most strict injunctions to preserve
all private property and individuals from
harm, and even went to the extent of
paying for the damage done to the crops
by the marching of his troops.
THE POPULAR SENTIMENT,
In all parts of the county the senti
ment of the people seems to be unani
mously in favor of a change in the man
ner in which things about the Court
House are managed. It is notorious
that the people have suffered great
wrongs in the management of their of.
ces, and there would seem that official
influence is so potent that neither an
explanation is to be given nor a remedy
applied unless the people do it them
selves. They are rejoiced at the oppor
tunity now afforded them of throwing
oil the influence of office-seekers, and
placing men in charge of their offices
who will do their business openly and
They see that by. the election of a
Union ticket that a new set of officers
will be initiated in the management of
the public offices of the county and that

years held tight grasp of the people's

PENNSYLVANIA AND TILE WAR
Gov. Curtin has taken measures for
preventing Pennsylvanians from enlist
ing in the regiments of other States, in
which course he is supported by the
Secretary of War. This is right. Penn
sylvania has made generous provisions
for her volunteser army, and there is no
reason why they should deprive them
selves of these benefits by enlisting
elsewhere. Besides, for the honor or
our Slate, let us go to the war under
the Keystone banner. The reputation
for valor and efficiency of our glorious
State in the present struggle will prob
ably be materially lessened by the fact
that a very large number of her sons
who have gone to the war have joined
regiments which nominally belong to
other States.
ANOTHER important battle is reported
to have taken place near Blue Mills,
between four thousand men under Gen.
Lane and an equal number of rebels. I t
is reported that Gen. Lane captured
nearly eight hundred of the enemy and
killed two hundred. The rebels were
totally routed and a federal force was
pursuing them. Both of these reports,
however, may be considerably modified
by other news.
THE LONDON TIMES AND SECRE—
TARY sEWARD,
An effort has been made to have official
action in the case of Mr. Russell; of the
London Times. The Secretary of State
quietly gets around the difficulty by say
ing: •
If it be assumed that the obnoxiouspaper
may do harm here, is it not a sufficient re
ply that probably not fifty copies of the
London Times ever find their way to our
shore:" If it be said, again, that the ob
noxious communication has been widely
published in the United States, it seems to
me a sufficient rejoinder that the censure of
a magnanimous government that case
ought to fail on those of its own citizens
who reproduce the libel rather than on the
foreigner who wrote it exclusively for re•
mote publication,
Finally, interference with the press even
in the case of an existing insurrection, can
be justified only on the ground of public
danger. Ido not tee any such danger in
the present case even if one foreigner does
pervert our hospitality to shelter himself in
writing injurious publications against us
for a foreign press. A hundred other for.
signers equally as intelligent, as virtuous,
and as respectable as he is, are daily en
rolling themselves in the army of the
United States, to defend and maintain the
Union as the chief hope of humanity in all
countries and for ail ages. Could there be
a better illustration of that great funds•
mental truth of our system that error of
opinion may safely be tolerated when rea
son is left fres to combat it?

From the New York Presbyterian.
Letter from a 'Northern to a Southern
Clergyman.
Messrs. E,iitors —The following extract
of a letter from a Presbyterian clergyman,
an Liebman, so pleased me that I request■
od and obtained permission to make it pub
lic. It was written with no such inten
tion. Yours, Sm. R.
“On the political questions propounded
and discussed by you, I beg leave to say a
word or two. At the outset, allow me to
ssy that I am a citizen of these' UNITED
STATES,” and that I have become such by
naturalization I have renounced my elle..
glance to the Queen of Great Britain, and
nave sworn to support the Constitution of
the United States. This oath I mean to
keep. You, of course, must not, in writing
your letter, have been aware of my rela
tions to the general government. I cannot
think that you have so low an estimate of
my moral character, as to think I can look
with approbation upon an organized at.
tempt to subvert a Constitution which 1
have sworn to support. I, of course, cane
not be allowed to set up my own views
and feelings on this subj ect, as a standard
by which the views and feelings of citie
zone, who have been born under and ahel
to.ed by this same Constitution, are to
be measured. 1 am, however, free to se . ) ,
that, until lately, I was under the impress
sion that Americans gloried, both in the
Constitution and the martial deed4of those
who won the liberties it has so gloriously
maintained. To be an American has hith
erto been the boast of the decendanta of
the heroes of the Revolution. Now, it
seems that there are inheritors of all this
glory who are willing to abandon both
the heritage and the name of an American
And for what? It is for the companion
ship of men who have, whilst in other, plot.
ted the distruction of the government they
had sworn to sustain. Mon who, whiite
iri ethee, have need the funds of the United
States Treasury to arm and equip an army
for the overthrow of the very Constitution
t oy wore professedly administering. Mon
who, in the violation of their oaths, and in
transgression of the command, 'Thou shalt
not steal,' seized upon the property they
were pledged to hold lor the United States,
and appropriated it to aid them in their
treason and rebellion. Is it for the com
panionship of such men, and the ignominy
which must descend with their names to
all posterity, aid through all time, that a
man is expo eted to surrender the glorious
heritage of being an American If you
have interpreted my course in the General
Assembly as an approval of such men and
such acts, you are, ' I assure you, greatly
mistaken. 1 regard the whole movement
as an inexcusable, absurd and wicked re.
hellion, founded in deceit, fraud and per
jury; and I look upon all who, with knowl
edge of the facts, countenance and aid such
men and such a cause, either by their eym
play or their efforts, as committing a great
sin, both against God and men. You
know, as well as I do, that this war is
nmtln r 'a Cabinet, nor an Abo:ition war.'
Tile war wao inaugurated before the Presi
dent was elected. I speak what Ido know,
when 1 say so. Floyd was arming and
organizing a regiment in October last.
The arms new in use among the rebels
were stolen before the election in Novem
ber. Tea first gun was fired by the rebels,
in their cowardly attack upon Fort Sum
ter. The whole course of the Cabinet rt
buts the charge of Abolitionism. Serer,
since the Conslituliwt ."‘s framed, have ifs

so laithfull carried out as under the
present sidministratiav If yore call the
confiscation of property held by rebels ale.
olition, you use language out of Its proper
moaning. A rebel not only forfeits his
property, but justly forfeits his life. If so,
does he not forfeit his slaves? Are elavee
to be held dearer or, more sacred than
life?
"Your safety and my safety, the cause
of fro Worn, and the interests of Christ's

their property."
The Naval Expeditions.
It is evident, from the intelligence
which has been published in regard to
the movements or a portion of our na
vy, that one or more expeditions have
been fitted out against the Southern
coast. Their exact destination is very
wisely concealed,and every good citizen
should feel that lie can well afford to
wait for a full history of their operations
until it can be furnished in the 'shape
of news of a brilliant victory, if ,by
that means the information is sufficient
ly well concealed, and die enemy de
prived of a knowledge of the manner
in which they are to be attacked. It
is an old maxim that "to be forewarned
is to be forearmed," and no people
have ever shown a greater anxiety to
avail themselves of advantages of this
sort than the Southern traitors. When
we, by inadvertence or folly, trumpet
forth our plans and anticipations, we
virtually double the power of our foes
to thwart and resist them.
England and the War.
The well informed London corres
pondent of the New York Couneraial,
writes as follows under date of the 6th
instant :
)r one thing you may be certain
namely, that all the reports and asser
tions put forth in either Northern or
Southern journals, about any intention
on the part of England to break the
blockade or recognize the Southern con
federacy in order to get the cotton crop,
aro sheer nonsense. The unanimous
desire, both of our people and govern.
ment, to maintain a strict neutrality, so
far:from being diminished, is if possi
ble, stronger than ever, and any recog
nition of the Confederates until they
had established their independence in
a manner that would put all further ef.
forts on the part of the North out of
the question, would be universally re.
garded as a breach of that neutrality.
For the national honor, and for the
sake of commercial precedent, our gov
ernment will doubtless be watchful to
protest against action at variance with
international and maritime law, but
so long as the Federal Government at
tends to these matters they may pursue
their 'course, so far as this country is
ooncerned,without troubling themselves
to think even of our existence.
We might add that the writer pf the
above is the financial editor of the Lon

THE . CONDITION OF THE ItIEBEL
ARMY.
There is so much truth and common
sense in the following article publish 3d in
the New York World, that we give it with
out curtailment. The facts should sink
deep and wear long with every man of true
patriotism :
It is high time that the people of the
Northern States had cured themselves of
the folly and self delusion they are so prone
to practice of looking at the great southern
rebellion through the wrong end of a teles
cope. The fresh exhibition of this humor
in the comments Wilt which the /Rra/c/
i
and Times yesterday` }
accompanied toe sen
sation dispatch fr m Baltimore giving a
c
querulous letter from the Richmond Whig
about the condition of the army at Manas
sas, illustrates the gaping credulity with
which the public are disposed to swallow
every improbable statement respecting-the
destitution and demoralization of the rebels.
A childish undervaluing of the enemy is
the capital blunder which we have been
making from the beginning, but a blunder
which we ought to J)e in no danger of re
pealing since the 21st of July. At first,
we obstinately refused to believe in the pos
sibility of secession; when South Carolina
had seceded, we were cock sure that she
would have no assoclotes; when facts falsi
fied this conclusion, we were ready to dem
onstrate that Louisiana would never cut off
her connection with the magnificent valley
of the Mississippi, by whose trade she was
enriched ; when Louisiana had joined the 1
rebels, we proved, by conclusive arguments
that the rebellion would never extend be ,
yond the cotton suites. After Sinner had
fallen, Virginia bad seceded, and the cen,
federate army had rendezeontod in that
state, and menaced Washington, we insist. ,
~1 on believing that the rebels would never
in.t.tit, and raised the cry cf "Forward to
It chmond," in the self-cornpl nceht etpec.
tation that they would re real in terror be
fore our advance. We have gulped down
absurd stories about the great numbers of
rebels killed during the siege of Sainter,
about the death of Beauregard, about the
death of Jeff. lilvis, and seem ready to
give easy credence to every fugitive account
Which reaches us of the demoralization of
the rebel army. This turn cf thought
which leads us to devour everything that
is said in disparagement of the strength of
the enemy seems to be ries:dad by many
as tatriotie. and it so doubt proceeds from
that princip'e of human nature which leads
men t..) believe whet they wish ; but, prac
tically we cannot 600 that it is likely to he
productive cf anything but mischief
We do not believe that the army at Ma.
misses is without bread or meat, and is
made to march eight miles in "double
qui( k" after breakfasting on potatoes and
salt. The statements made to the Secrets
ry of War by a deserter, and publishci in
a Washington paper yesterday, are wholly
inconsistent with such a picture of destitu
tion. Whatever may be the condition of
the rebel army, it has for some time been
powerful enough to keep us on the defen
slue. IC we E h.ul I delude ourselves with
the pleasant dream that it is soon to fall
into utter disorganization and disperse, it
might prove a costly mistake. Instead of
g ring an exaggerated importance to flying
rumors of its weakness, we should be te'..ter
employed in infusing into our people the
idea that this is to be a desperate struggle,
requiring the prompt exertion of all the re•
sources of the country. We have no idea
that this gigantic rebellion is to be put
down without a great deal of hard lighting.
It is fn,ell-11 ni,..1 pea,' , .] to keep amusing
ourseives with Lemont , s of tine weakness of
the enemy, w ben they are keeping us at
bay all along an extended Jinn of frontier,
and are is ICLUSi possession t , l three.fourths
01 the towns in Missouri, a state that has
not yet seceded, and when Maryland is
kept In the Union by the terror of ~ ,,r
arms which alone restrains her secession,
ists. The one thing for us to do, is to pre
pare to oppose the rebels with a resist] , as,
overweelming fere°. The present probes
bility is that nothing short of the extortion
of the whole military strength af the coun
try within the ensuing sm months, will.
preserve the existenie of the government.
Let us make our preparations as if the con
viction that it is to be a death struggle had
taken full possession of our minds, and fire•
ed them with invincible energy. Even if it
should turn out that the rebels have little
strength to withstand us, the gigantic scale
of our preparations will not have been use.,
less, It will, in that case, make the war
short, prevent the effusion cf blood and
waste of resources which would result from
allowing the contest to hang in doubt, and
by a demonsti a ion of the irresistible pow
or of the government, forever prevent a
renewal of this mad attempt to overthrow
it. Our great danger has all along consist.
ed. and still consists, in a vague notion that
the rebellion will somehow "cave in" by
ins inherent weeks eir, which prevents both
the government and people from rising to
Lhe full height of the emergency, and act
ing with that energy of determination
which is the only guarantee of success. It
the enemy are as resolute and desperate as 1
we believe them, we must surely confront
thorn with equal resolution, and greater
military strength. But if, happily, we
should find them as weak and demoralized
as we would fain hope, it is still important
to strike a heavy blew and end the rebel
lion before the intervention of foreign na•
Lions, or some other unexpected turn of
the wheel of fortune, shall reinforce their
feebleness, Instead of allowing ourselves
to be practiced upon by concocters of idle
rumors, let us make it our chief business to
hurry up the enlistments by which our ar
my is to be made invincible.
"UNION for the sake of the I . niori"
is now the watchword. In the words of
Douglas "Whoever is not prepared to
sacrifice party organizations and plat.
forms on the altar of his country does
not deserve the support and counte
nance of honest people." Party jeal
ousy can have to other effect than to
divide the people, and encourage thk
enemies of the Union. Let us, witli
ono vigorous effort, crush out past an
tipathies, and place the seal of con
demnation on all who strive to keep up
political malignity, for the sake of the
profits tley expect to obtain by so
doing.
The War In Kentucky.
It is evident that the period has ar
rived when the soil of Kentucky, like
that of the Border States of Virginia
and Missouri, is to be made the theatre
of many bloody contests. The throat of
the Memphis Appeal, that the South
would never permit her to unite her
self with the Northern States, is the
key-note of the policy which the traitors
are seeking to enforce, and from pres
ent indications the impending struggle
will prove a desperate and fierce one.
All ideas of the maintenance of a nen,
tral position have been abandoned, and
a war to the knife has been commenced
which is to decide whether the Union
or the Disunion army shall gain control
of the State.

i".
We have been anxiously looking for
the government to take some step to
wards an exchange of prisoners. We
cannot admit that there is any force in
the positions assumed, that it, is impo,
sib e to make this exchange without
recognizing the Southern Confederacy,
and acknowledging its independence.
War, under any circumstances, is full
of barbarities, and, as civilized men,
representing one of the most enlight
ened nations on earth, it seems to us
to be clearly the duty of those in power
to mitigate these evils, as far as possi
ble, without, surrendering any great
principle, which is likely to effect the
final result of the contest. We would
be glad to hear from any quarter one
good reason for not exchanging prison
ers. As yet we have not beard one
which we think will stand the test of a
fair examination. In the natural course
of events, even though successful in
putting down the conspiracy which has
acquired such power, many prisoners
will be taken, and it becomes a grave
question as to how they shall be dis
poses of. The longer a decision is de
layed, the more difficult it will
beanie to make a satisfactory so
lution. In the beginning, those taken
were released, even without asking their
parol of honor not to serve during the
war. Such was the case of General
Anderson and his command, at Charles
ton, and the troops in Texas. The first
breach of faith, the first violation of
these stipulations, occurred in the ex
treme Southwest, when Major Van
Dorn set at defiance the agreement en
tered into for the removal of the troops
in that region, by the capture of the
Star of the West. Still after this, the
officers, and most of the soldiers, were
permitted to leave for the North, al
though hampered by a parch of honor,
not to servo during the war.
It is estimated, at the present time,
we have nearly two thousand prix.'
oners, and the rebels nearly as
many. Why are they kept, at great
expense to the respective parties, in
close confinement 't Is it the intention
of the government to institute any ul
terior proceedings against them as
traitors'.' Surely no one can believe
that there ever will be a termination of
hostilities without provision for a gen
eral amnesty. And if such is to be
the end, why not soften . down the mis
eries of this contest as much as possible
by exchanging prisoners at once, and
restoring to their homes hundred's of
men who have periled their all in the
defence, of their country. Do not let
us, in our anger at those who have
brought this great calamity upon our
country,forget those who are now in the
close pent .ur prisons of the South,suffer
ing agonies a thousand fold worse than
death, and their families at the North,
who arc mourning their absence. Let
the President look at this subject as a
humane man, as we believe he is, one
who f<!,•l4 for the sufferings of his fel
low own, aoel is anxious to soften down
the I...rrors of this civil war, and he will
surely take some steps to effect an ex
chae,..e of prisoners. Humanity de
mands this, civilization anti Christian
ity require it, and strong, indeed, must
be the reasons that shall overcome the
claims of humanity, c;vilization and
Christianity.—[Chicago Times.
