Marshall, Esq., as the Republi can candidate for Congress in this district at the fall election. Referring to Mr. Mar shall's claims upon his party, this corres pondent -says that " his devotion to the causal dates back to the early and cheerless days ofthe friends of freedom." - That antiquity of Mr. Marshall's Aboli tionism is well established; he was one of the pioneers of "freedom" in this locality, when certain other aspirants were advoca ting the acquisition of slave territory. He is, therefore, deserving of all the honors which " the friends of freedom " are able to bestow upon him; but we imagine that the time has not yet arrived for him to re ceive the delicate attention alluded to by this admiring correspondent. General Moorhead, our present Congres sional Representative, is desirous of an other election; the Administration is but a year old ; the war is not near over, and consequently an energetic Representative who understands "trap" has many reasons for serving the people for two -more years at least. Besides, if we take notice of the action of the Abolitionists, they never re ward one of the old pioneers of that party as long as a newly converted "pro-slavery locofoco" can be obtained. No one in Pennsylvania would answer for the Cabi net of President Lincoln but Simon Cam eron; no one would snit for Clerk of the Smug" but Forney, and no one in the Re public's" stronghold of Allegheny would armlet - for Congress but the present in cumbent. We will stake anything political that if the big Commonwealth of Pennsyl vania were caretully traversed in search of politicians who, in their respective ca pacities, were, in times gone by, the most ~subseirvient -to what Abolitionists term "slavery - domination," there could not be foundAhree to compare with these present monopolists of Abolition honors. It is ab solutely astonishing to see these politicians. who here" always suspected when Demo crats, immediately assuming command whoa the join the Republicans. There is no omit* a few months' probation with them; after being jostled from the Democ racy-because of illegitimate practices, they rush-Armagh the caves of Know Nothing ism,_and in a tew months emerge and are found•the leaders of the Abolitionists.— And--what is still more remarkable, the old *dent of that party are the most easi ly gansmoned by these slippery .renegades from other parties. Moorhead, at the time of his first nomination - for Congress, bad never even voted a Republican ticket, yet be succeeded in defeating two oppo nentmfor nomination, possessing far great er ability than he, and whose political ree -erds_were e#hodox ittepossitiori s to the De mocracy for oirer - twenty years. In fact the Repitfiliciris in this county- seem in search of any outcast from our party, rath er than confer its favors upon those who hold conspicuous places in their own. We could mention a dozen at least, who, when Democrats, were the most crawling syco phants of, what Abolitionism terms the "slave power," but who are now the chief pets of that blinded and bigoted organiza-. Cameron, a year ago in the Senate, ex pressed his willingness to support the Crit tendetreempromise or- any other measure calculated to avert rebellion; in about six months after this he imagined that Fre mont was on the right track for popular favor, by issuing crazy proclamations o emancipition in Missouri. He set about to prostrate the Pathfinder by publishing charges of extravagance against him : im mediately the whole Abolition press open ed upon Cameron, until he one diy had an opportindty of endorsing a silly speech of John COarane, in which he talked about "a conditional Union," and the emancipa tion of ths;nlaves. From this moment the Secretary of War was reinstated in Aboli tion affection; the Pathfinder, for a time, was forgotten, and all the infamy belong ing to the War Department was obscured by this little, bit of Abolition buncomb.-- Camertm, by this dodge, got Lack into the inner circle, where schemes and contracts are ediaidenid and decided; as for poor --Cochnine, we have not heard of him since he made-the-speech which secured Camer on's approbation. Alter considering these matters, and others in the same connection, we natural ly conclide• that General Moorhead will again rtru . 've the nomination for Congress in this Abolition district. If he thinks there is any doubt of it, a letter to the Ga sme in favor of the immediate freedom of the four millions of slaves will insure it, without doubt. The introduction of this number if laborers, to compete with white labor, the General can explain in a second otter; End u he has always been for en ema/0g and dignifying white labor by protective duties against the degraded and mimmable pauper labor of Burope, we trust that he Will demonstrate how - these two Classes can get along together, and that the greater the competition among them for subsist& -e the more comfortable they will ' ulettp be contended for he higher thit , governmetit rted article, the cheaper it e consumer, because of the rded to home industry; upon .iple the General can hood dive tariff friends by show roduction of an indefinite - +l , etu would During the present terrible conflict, in which the Government is now involved, we have carefully abstained,kom notices and more partici' *chat froutrhat Might' be tennedl*itary ilatiotkirAut we have not been indifibretiti ff; the course of military: events; nor 40 we &sign that thole whijuierß4riouslg;',gui etly and fearlessly , dischariktiiiiir *fig shall be unheeded by us ; and anumithat: class we are proud to name Brigadier General John F. * Reynolds, of our own State. • With Pennsylvania pride we point to him now as one who is adorning his coun try's history. A native of Lancaster County, belonging to a family whose name and fame are blended with our State his tory—a graduate of West Point—and having wori for himself brevet upon brevet for gallant condUct in the war with Mexico, General R. was called at the outbreak of our great National conflict front the posi tion of Lieut. Colonel to command a Brigade; and it will not be uninteresting to know that, this command consists of the following regiments, to wit : The Ist Pennsylvania.commanded by Col. R. Biddle Roberts, 2d Pennsylvania Regiment, Lieut. Col. McCandless, sth Pennsylvania Regi ment, Col. Simmons, Bth Pennsylvania Regiment, Col. George S. Hays, Ist Rifle Regiment, Col. McNeill. In the Brigade thus constituted, it will be observed that two of the Colonels com• manding, are natives of our own county, long known to this community. This Brigade is entirely a Pennsylvania one, and although a " Volunteer Brigade," the labor bestowed upon it by the "regular" and accomplished officer in command, has been most- amply repaid and in all emer gencies it has shown itself equal to its high reputation and thorough training. At the battle of Drainesville a portion of this command won bright honors, and those not actively engaged in the conflict came np with the precision and regularity of the best trained troops. We hear with pleasure of the confidence reposed in General Reynolds by the officers and men under his coratnand, and trust that the day is not far distant when he will win for himself and his gallant Brigade one of the highest and proudest positions in the service. 4' We give place this morning to the communication of our correspondent "A. R.," upon the true causes of the present rebellion. It will be seen that an Aboli tion acquaintance dives deeply fir the causes of our troubles, and is satisfied that the President has fooled his part• by the appointment of Democrats to places in the government and army. Had he not done so the rebels would not now be in the crippled condition they 2nd themselves. CONSUMPTION We publish this morning the first of a series of interesting letters on puhnonary consumption and its treatment by Dr. Hunter, a physician of high standing and great celebrity. Having made diseases of the kind mentioned his speciality Dr. H. has attained a justly deserved reputation in treating them. He is now in this city, stopping at the Monongahela House, where he can he consulted by the afflicted. We commend the letters for ueneral perusal. The Fight atPitteburg—Deserip- tion of the Ground. The Waifs at Pittsburg are very bold and from one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet above the river. A little distance back from the river the country is broken into a succession of sharp ridges, steep hills and gorges, not much unlike the re gion ulon . g:the Potomac in front of Wash ington. The roads are excellent and the country generally is heavily timbered, with sparse clearings. A military man would pronounce the region unfavorable for field operations from its irregularities and sharp gorges, suggesting ambuscade and masked batteries by its very conformations. The whole vicinity of Pittsburg has been for two or three weeks past an immense camp. The views of the situation previous to the fight will he made more complete by the statement that the weather at that place was mild and spring like, and so warm that our troops slept in the open air, enveloped in their blankets, in preference to the cloSer atmosphere of the tent. Our lines extended along a frout of from six to eight miles, or from Crump's Land ing,.six miles below Pittsburg, to a place about two miles south, or above,,on the river. Our pickets were thrown back into the country to a distance varying from four to eight miles west of the river. The ad-. vance,in the vicinity of a place called Pea Ridge, was held by General 4. M. Pren tiss, with an unorganized brigade, of regi ments recently thrown together. General Hurlbut, four miles further east, had a' column of 14,000 men. General Grant had retained his headquarters at Savannah up to Friday, although but a few troops were left there, and he was daily expecting to tram for his headquarters to Pittsburg. Trdops kept arriving daily in large num bers., to swell the Federal forces. 'General Buell was known to be marching from Nashville, one hundred and twenty-five miles distant,. with his .heay* column.— This fact decided the rebel leaders to defer the blow no longer. Beauregard, it is said, did not deem it safe to await attack at the not tenable position at Corinth, eighteen miles distant, and resolved to make the assault, hoping to throw General Grant's camps into confusion, and that be fore General Buell could reinforce him. Halleek's Opinion of McClellan. A Cairo correspondent says : In con versation with .a gentleman from St. Louis last night, I learned some things that I must confess were new to me, and as I think the idea will be new to the public generally, and as in presenting it 1 shall not transcend the rules laid down for the government of thepress, I will endeavor to kof it down. The gentleman referred-to I now to boa warm personal friend to Gen. Halleck, and shares much of that sterling officer's favor and confidence. Hence, a be attached to whatever he says such-as does not accrue to the sayings of ordinary men. I would like to give his name, that the public might the more read ily comprehend the reason why I assign so much paper to the chronicling ofhis ideas. This conversation turned upon the opera tions of the army here and elsewhere. I asked— "What is Gen. HaHeck's opinion ofGen McClellan ?" • "Sir," said my friend, "I have heard Gen. Halleck say, in substance, repeated 13+1 that he considered the military skill, science and penetration of Gen. McClellan , is second to that of no man living; that hatever had been done in the West and vhere was but the carrying out of Mc i's great phi of the war; that the idea of 010kond,erwrry owe:thew 'meats was lbs fruit othis fore -r 1 ‘deof-wars As , . _ "" 4u i . - ail: tirirl By an'Ab•Utlea MR.

' say, " let him choose the Gaiitte to pit forth his ultra opinions. that you should say so—andl have tried the Gazette frequently—but your readers - ave no opportunity to get the least smack of our Abolition:ideas except when quoted to denounce them, While the readers of the Gazette have abundance of that pabulum every day. Therefore, if you will give me a little space, I will tell you how we Ab olitionists feel and think about this war. I believe this civil strife is not the growth of a day, nor the result of an accident—l do not believe that it began with Mr. Cal houn's nullification notions, nor with the debates at the formation of the Federal Con stitution. But the gekm of the dispute was planted on this continent when the severe and honest Puritans settled New England, and the dissolute and idle " cavaliers," as they arrogantly styled themselves, settled Virginia and the Carolinas. The better part of the cavaliers, of course, did not em igrate to this country; but poor, lazy and proud younger brothers, and the basely derived companions of their vices and de baucheries, with many State criminals, formed the stock from which the "chivalry" eprng. Between these wretches and the firm, courageous, self-denying Puritan, who be gan to say that kings and priests did not have a right to rule by the presumed "grace of l; od,' - and the assumed force of tradi tion. there could be no cordiality, no friend ship. It was not long till the fighting psalm singers established the equality of human rights in England, by arraigning:lnd behead ing a King, and chose a ruler from the people, at whose potential voice the cava liers quailed, as they had done before his avenging sword. Then it was that the fu gitive "chivalry," with a low-browed rab ble of servile followers, sharers in their sins. came rapidly to people the Southern portion of the United States. It is between the descendants of these two divisions of Englishmen that the war is raging to day. They lead in the contest: and their opposite opinions and habits. not reconciled in three centuries, make the two armies of this contest, and give it form and purpose. As in the wars of the King and Parliament, the descendants of the Puritans of New Englund, pious, pains taking. cool, determined and thoughtful, are waging war with the descendants of their forefathers' enemies, who are the same reckless, impetuous, tyrannical, in temperate crew that their ancestors were in the days of Charles the First. Other elements, it is true, enter into the mass which is pressing the Rebels to their doom. The Germans and other liberty-loving men, who came near upturning Europe in 1848, enter heartily and largely into the cause; but the Puritans lead the van of the North ern bands in sentiment and in fact, and their hatred to the South, its white people and its institutions. is stronger than death itself. I felt, in common with all true Aboli tionists, that the election of Lincoln was providential. It could nut be possible that the three millions of voters who wrangled and disputed, and finally east their ballots so that Lincoln, with a little over half that number. should walk into the Presidency. were iii \ 'Ol to what they did by any thing but the special order of the Ruler of the f!'niverse. Their :base instincts would still have taught them to keep their -power. The Almighty fiat alone could dispossess them, and that surely come in the shape of Lincoln's election. Well and nobly did Mr. Lincoln begin his career—unmoved by the clamor of the frightened share-holders and their north ern allies, he refused to see any danger to the miserable Constitution they so much professed to adore, and took no part in the dignified farce of the Peace Conference.— But the war opened by the fall of Fort Sumter, and then began in earnest, the battle for freedom. The war of the Rev olution was a small affair—the war of 1812 a mere bagatelleHthe war with Mexico a purely slaveholders' war—but this glorious, exciting, hearty fight is, compared with all other wars, as "all the world-to nothing.'' It matters not what becomes of the "league with death. the covenant with hell,'•grand ly entitled the Constitution of the united States—but these tyrants by descent, th,•se vile,dissolnte,ravishers—robbers,with luitxury and debauch bred iu every bone and fibre of their worthless bodies, must be cut o(1 without remorse—every one of them —and if necessary, without regard to any law of warfare. But Mr. Lincoln set out well; he soon began to labi.r, and daily becomes more bike to the party and the principles through which he achieved power. Why did he appoint Dix, Sickles, Butler and McClellan to lead the Abolition Armies— for mind you. I do not mince matters,nor things by aught else than their true names— I. say, armies to abolish slavery? Why, I say, did these persons, known to be hostile to the true purposes of the war, receive high honors and the chief command? Mr. Lincoln is too timid—that is the reason. I do not' believe he has hair wholly abandoned his old Newts and their principles, but he falters—lie totters—he reaches for "help! Let, me assure him that he made a grand mistake in putting these men, or any Northern Democrat, or any man boni South of Mason and Dixon's line, into command of even a corporal's guard. If they can do it, the war-will be ended before its true work is done, and they willpatch up the old, ricketty constitution, if they can. It was all wrong, Mr. Lincoln—no man should have gone into this war, in any capacity, unless he felt the necessity of ex terminating slavery and if necessary slait holders also, at all hazards and at every cost. But these leaders won't do it—thee don't mean to do it. It seems to me that there is additional reason why we should have true men— true abolitionists, I mean, in all depart ments of this war. I cannot see that we are to have any help from England—the landed interest there, I fear, . sympathises with the slaveholder. They have had somebody to work for them always, and, as they do not scruple to oppress white men, they can see nothing very cruel in oppressing black men—they are in short, the class in English society, from which Southern "chivalry" is the offshoot. In the towns of England are found the de scendants of the same 'sort of people that . settled New England—the y hate tyranny and oppression in every form, and have always opposed American slavery. They have much political power, too,and showed it in repealing the Corn laws. But, I fear, that on the question of our war, if ever it is tried by a popular election in England, they will be beaten by the landed interest and a pait of the cotton spinners. So, as it seems to me, we will have to put down slavery without the •.government sympathy or 'essential aid" of England: and this being the. case, how foolish it was to put men into high positions who are not sound for ggoing through with the whole draina. Why, there is not one of these men fully trusted by the abolition party, and this party is, or ought to be, the ruling party now.. :There is but one way to:reme dy this grievous error.- " Let Mr. • - 1.1 turn out every teas in every post is not willing to wage this war extinction of slavery, and for that alone.
