In yesterday’s paper we published the proceedings of the Abolition Convention of onr county; our readers have, doubtless, examined the platform which it adopted, but we propose a few words of comment upon it before it passes into oblivion. There is one remarkable and prominent peculiarity, characterizing the proceedings of our anti-slavery fanatics; no matter how often they change their names, they still remain constant to Abolitionism.— Professions for tho protection of free white labor* from competition with that of the paupers of Europe used to be the musio of anti-Democratic conventions: but all this has been changed; and now the freeing of four millions of slaves, whose labor would absolutely beggar that num ber of free white laborers, is the mission of Allegheny County Abolitionism. In the platform before us, consisting of six lengthy resolutions, there is not one sin gle sentence in relation to anything dis connected from slavery. It is tho negro from beginning to end. The spirit, policy and intention of the Convention are con centrated- in the following resolution, which passed that body unanimously: 6. Resolved, That the Hon. David tt'il mot, Senator representing Pennsylvania in the United States Senate, deserves the confidence and thanks of all true friends of the Union, for his consistent, honest and patriotic course p aud we hereby de clare that Edgar A .Co wan, now sitting as a Senator of Pennsylvania, does not represent the sentiments of the loyal pco — pie of Pennsylvania, and wo instruct our delegates this day elected to the State Convention to present this resolution for the action of said Convention. Our readers are nware that Senator Wilmot is one of the original Abolition agitators, whose teachings have done so much to distract tho country, lie is also a free-trade man, having no sympathy for the white laborers of Pennsylvania.- While opposing every measure looking to the protection of our home manufactures, he was taken to the bosoms of the Repub licans of Pennsylvania; and now his ex treme abolitionism is the theme of eulogy by his party in this county. Nay more; to showits favor of Abolitionism of the Sum ner stripe more emphatically, the conven tion condemned the course of Senator -Cowan, for no act specified, bat because he differed from W iimot in his course upon such questions as liie emancipation of the slaves. Mr. Webster, on a memorable occasion, Blinding to the spirit even then exhibited by the Abolitionists, expressed himself in these words : •• If these infernal fanatics and aboli tionists ever get power in their hands, then mil override the Constitution, set the Supreme Court at defiance, change ami make laws to suit themselces, lav 'violent hands on those who differ with them in opinion, or dare question their in / aUibility , and finally bankrupt the coun try and deluge it with blood." Here is a prediction one half verified : the Constitution is not only sneered at, but a Senator like Mr. Cowan, whose only offense is a too rigid observance of its pro visions, is -denounced, while in the same resolution a mere fanatic is eulogized an the exponent of the sentiment of the State. Were Webster himself alive lie would stand in precisely the same predicament as Senator Cowan. Was not the great New England statesman right in his esti mate of the spirit of thig fanaticism ? Is it not violating everything in the Consti tution that obstructs its infurinted course? The policy advocated by the Convention of Monday is the prosecution of the war in order to affect slavery. It avowed itself in favor of the President’s idea of eman cipation by the States— the General Gov ernment paying for the slaves—but no word is-to he found in the resolutions fa vorable to the preservation of the Union. Here we have the plain issue presented, which is the prosecution of the war for the 1 freedom of the slaves, without a single 1 word t in favor of the restoration of the j Union. 1 Gazette objects to our com ment* upon the speech lately made by General Bosseau in Louisville; without quotingt'he entire discourse, we stated the Generali* position as fairly and strongly us we braid; there is nothing in the address o which we objected, our remarks being confined to the consideration of the fol lowing statement: The General stated that in Halleck’s immense army “there is notone Abolitionist’’ and notwithstaml ingthig, the rebels in Tennessee persist in calling them such. We endeavored to ex plain this persistent stupidity of the robe's, and argued that it was caused by Northern Abolition agitation. While the two hun dred thousand of Halleck’s army are de claring that they have no intention of in terfering with slavery or any other prop erfy, only so far as it is necessary to put downthezebellion,abolitionists in Congress and ont'of it proclaim the contrary. In this4nanner the efforts of the Union men in the Sooth are hampered and rendered useless-. _lf Congress and the Abolition press of the country would endorse the sayings of Halleck and Bosseau and their followers, instead of clamoring for emnn- S9otoon, the chief obstacle to the crush- the rebels and the restoration of tho Union would be immediately removed. But this is not the purpose of Abolition um; and judging by the tone of the Gazette'* article, we infer that it kas’nt aeaw enough to exactly comprehend the Nolrignificance of General Bosseau’j ob servations * •©“Hod. Wm.A. Graham having de clined to be a candidate for Governor of North Carolina, advised his friends to sup port Mr. Vance, as also did Hon. John A Gilmer, as well as W. \V. Holden, of the Standard, who has hoisted Mr. Vance’s usm». with the-other papers throughout iMh OST. I FORNEY ON DAWSON. *- I That sweet-scented fugleman ot Penn sylvania Abolitionism, the consistent Forney, whose chief vocation is the dama ging of our leading Democratic statesmen, alludes to the Hon. dohn L. Dawson as follows: ■•Hon. John L. Dawson Inis been nre (’onfflT } he .‘' l)ei “ocratic - ' e:iiuli(bile P |'or -ongres., by the Democrats" of I’siyotle thftAY’- 1 " t USSlate ’ ilml !l ls «xpr-cimi r;Jv “‘eir recommendation will be effec uvewith the other con lilies of the district.

He belongs to the “Democrats" who sympathize with Mr. \ allandighain and A\m. ]j. iieed, orho docs not. lie is lor the war, without repeating tiioslang of Davis am! Toombs, or he is not. We shall look for Mr. Dawson's creed with some interest, lie would liea capital rep resentative of the people if he could be a "Democrat" like Holt, .Stanton, Tod, or Andy Johnson. Wo wpi:. to see whether he is for the stars or the bars/' Anticipating Mr. Dawson’s nomination by the Democracy o! bis Congressional district, honest Korney tint.; opens his assaults upon him in advance. From the day of his nomination, .Mr. Dawson may expect to find this renegade. Korney, using his columns to prove that he is not a Democrat like Holt, ' but n secession ist in disguise. This is the game of the Abolition crew, to charge with latent treason every prominent citizen who is not an Abolitionist. It would be a happy thing ior the coun try if we had in Congress a tew gentlemen of Mr. Dawson's ability mid integrity. Instead of hanging around the depart ments in Washington, boring for eon tracts, bo would be found in eommunioii w ith such pat riots as Holt, devising means to speedily crush vebcUiou uml restore n bleeding Union. llis service.-- lor these ends would not consist in hollow profes sions of patriotism, but in broad ami en lightened statesmanship tl , ,-onipn«s his country's preservation.

Thai I'l.-inrr of the 10th says: The time is up—the die is rust, and the fate of Vicksburg is sealed. With the evac uation ol Fort Fiilow followed the fall of Memphis, after a gallant hut unsuccessful defense above the city by our col ton fleet, under Gen. Jeff. Thompson and (.'apt. Ed! Montgomery. We had hoped that our gov ernment. would hold the river above Mem phis as long as wn kept tbe enemy nt bay here: but it has seen lit to do otherwise, and now the contest, for this important stream is almost closed. We had confi dence in the ability of our forces here to repel any attack of the enemy’s wooden 066 t from below, but wo cannot expect them to successfully cope with a combined attack from above and below. All other towns on the river have fallen into then hands, and now their whole force will be concentrated here. Our city must, there fore, we think, soon fall into the bands of’ the enemy, and consequently it behooves the people to calmly contemplate the real ities around them. An Afterpiece not Down j u the Bill. From tho Richmond Examiner, June It;. Saturday night the Varieties and Ricli mond Lvceum had crowded audiences Ihe performances at both these places of amusement went otf most satisfactorily • but when, about eleven o'clock, the last scenes had been played, and the last son-s sung, and dances danced, the audiences were about to disperse for the night to their astonishment and terror they found their egress barred by armed men. Atrooo of cavalry surrounded each building. Ky. ery soldier was arrested, also every citizen who could not give a good and very clear account of himself. A great multitude umre taken into custody, and, between files of cavalry, marched out to General Hill’s headquarters, where they passed the night 1 esterday morning the case of each pris oner was examined into and disposed of according to circumstances. One young fellow, who, at the time of his arrest was on duty as a second-class militia man but who had availed himself of his four hours’ relief to witness the performance at- the Varieties, was taken out to camp. When lie returned to town yesterday moniiim- he i was held to a strict account by his militia captain 1 . XI goni" to the tneatre is, in future, to involve the rule of spending a rough night in a strange camp, wo predict a great and speedy falling oil m the popularity of the ‘•legitimate drama." From tho Newbern Progress. Battle ac Martin's Creek, x. <;■. On Thursday last, the Twenty-fourth regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, now stationed at Washington, N. c., together with Colonel Howard’s Marine Artillery marched out'on the Greenville road abont nine miles, to Martin’s Creek, for the pur pose of making a reconnoissancc. Just before reaching the creek the road runs through a deep and impenetrable morass, making deploying or flanking movements impossible. The creek is broad, and at the extremity of the bridge, on the opposite shore, stoodau old mill unround ed by woods. In this mill, and behind the cotton hales adjacent, the rebel regiment under the doughty Col. Singletary posted themselves, after sawing the bridge tim bers so as to makeit impassable to artillery or cavalry. The road is very narrow, and but a single platoon front could be at one lime presented. On arriving at the banks of the creek, a brisk (ire was opened on the Federal force, which at once halted, and a couple of Col onel Howard's marine batteries advanced to the front, and opened a brisk lire with shell anil shrapnel. After making a stand ot halt an hour, the rebels “ skedaddled,” leaving onr troops masters of the held. Our loss was seven killed and ten wounded. Tlift rebel loss is not positively known, hut is much greater. Among the ilt-au was (. 01. Singletary. A member ot the .Marine artillery was shot, and as he leii, heroically exclaimed, “My God, my country and my flag. Boys! do yourduty! ,? turned upon his side, and his spirit passed up to God who gave it. Too much praise cannot be awarded the Marine artillery for tiie brave and gallant stand made by them. Cool and collected, they bore the brunt of the battle ami drove the enemy with their usual success. It was a great victory for our troops. 1 In; enemy had choice of position and knowledge ol the country, and securely, as t hey supposed, ambushed. The rebels wen* ignominiously driven from their eliOMoi posts, uud Colonel G. B. Singleta ry, ihe blustering, blowing oppressor of loyal men hereabouts, previous to the ar rival ol Cnion troops, is. known to have ended his career. All these successes help to demoralize the rebels, discourage ami dampen their ardor, and lesson their confidence in a waning cause. The Federal dead were brought to New born, and buried under military honors on Sunday. There were seven killed. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Mel lon, Chaplain of the 24th.* More Rebel Accounts of the Evacuation ofCorluth. A correspondent of the Edgefield (S.C.J I'lrr.rtiser, writing from Okalona, Miss., >n the 2d—wo find it copied into the Char- lost on Mvmn\u —.says : I went to Corinth on i'uesdny togetwith my regiment, the -list Mississippi, hut when 1 arrived there i found everything in confusion and bustle—the streets tilled to overflowing witn sick and disabled sol* iliers, as well as thousands well and hear ty. all crowding, rushing like a mighty avalanche towards the cars. It was some little time before we could learn the mean ing of i h«** strange scene enacted before us. and when we did, we were surprised to learn that orders had been given for the evacuation of the place. We were forbid leaving the cars, and it is well we were} for if we had got off wo would have had the pleasure oi walking hack down the road. Iho tents had all been struck, and tin* main part of the army was reported to bo sleeping <>u their arms in the intrench menu, and it would have been as easy to find-a needle in a hay stack*’ as to have found any particular regiment in this vast ’txi v. while in line of buttle. Large ijuan* titles of tents and ordnances stores, that aouid not be removed from Corinth, were ordered burned, which order was put in execution on hriday. .All the houses in the business part of the town, as well as the raiiroad depots and hotels, were fired, and at. hist accounts, Corinth was a heap of smouldering ruins. Our army has fal len hack in lioonoville, twenty two miles this side of Corinth, on the Mobile road, wlmro it will probably make a stand until ilalleck advances. It is.not for ine to say whether the move from Corinth la. a good one or not.

That there should be a tendency to scorbutic diseases, under these circumstances, should occasion no surprise, though it should in duce every man and woman who has the means to contribute what they can to pre vent the spread of such disorders. All the fresh meats, vegetables, fruits, green and dried, and pickles, that can possibly lie spared, should be immediately sent to the West, it is too far for the people of (icorgia to send fresh meat, or vegetables and green fruit; but tiiey can furnish dried truit, and pickles. This should be done at once, in order to preserve the health of the army, and to save the men who are already m hospital. A pound of dried truit is worth more just now than ten pounds of salt' provisions and a jar of pickles than a barrel of flour. The Petersburg (Va.)
