T-H E ABOLITION COUNTY
CONVENTION.
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 *

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:

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

The time is up—the die is rust, and the

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.

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. All I
know is, ifmf it tins it terribly demoraliz
ah? ct/ri f upon our army, and many de
c/.nv they will glut the sendee and g:* home..

A i-onvspotnh-ni ot" n reliable paper
the letter is copied into tile Chariest,:
Merrurj/--
It is 100 early to .sav what course Hal*
Iccjc will pursue. Our hope is, that he will
Jotioh' Ueaunyartl up. It may be, how
e\er, hi* will sovk to cross the country in
the tlir.M lion ot Memphis : or, if that
shouhl app.-ar too ha/.unlous to him, he
may retrace his steps to the Tennessee,
and come round by water, lint eitherone
ot these movements would seem to involve
tin* Joss ot Middle Tennessee, and leave
open the roml to Naslmlleund Louisville
it is more likely that he will maintain his
present position, until he ean rebuild the
bridges and put the railroads in running
order, hoping, in the meantime, that the
Mississippi will, he opened, and Mobile
reduced and occupied. Any movement
just now would be full of danger to him
! sell.
// u ,: " l,u^r .V need not be surprised if the
bold movement of Stonewall Jackson upon
the J-otomac should be initiated in the
II erf. Whether it will be upon the East
or \\ cst side of the Mississippi, or both,
I shall not undertake to say. \v e are not
without troops towards the setting sun, or
in the directionof Cumberland Cpp. Any
part of Virginia is a paradise to Corinth
and the adjacent country. The mud, when
it rained, and the. dust when it did not
together with the prevailing scarcity of
water, rendered it impossible for the Artny
of the Mississippi to maintain those habits
ot cleanliness so essential to health. The I
1! l ,ee * an< * * )acon t * ,e men were com
pelled to cat, unaccompanied with fresh
meats, vegetables or fruits, were produc
tive of thirst, and thevmore water they
drank the worse it was for them. 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.) Express, of the
10th, has au article, the initial paragraph
of which we reproduce, as follows:
Another Painful Supeue.
Although we believe that most, if not all,
ol the Yankee telegrams to Washington
from the battle field and entrenched camps
are either wholly untrue or grossly exag* I
erated. yet when we see it positively as-1
serted by t.eneral Ilalleck that a column
ot his army pursued tlte Confederates after I
evaevtat i° n of Corinth and captured
f 10,000 oi them, together with 15,000 stand I
ot arms: and when, on the other hand, we
see nothing from the Department in Kich
mond contradictory of the assertion, we
confess that we are thrown into a state of
most unpleasant suspense, and look with
the utmost anxiety for further intelligence.

destination at Fortress Monroe, where, it
is understood, they will be assigned to

profanely to enter the temple of justice and
drag her ministers from the altar. He who
thus invades a court of justice proves him,
self a tyrant capable ol any assault on the
liberties of the people. Under the pre
fence ot suppressing a causeless rebellion,
[ the Executive Department of this govern

n the grossest violation of the fundamTn
tat law. Uho are they who are thus nur
ering civil liberty? Those who in the
pretence of philanthropy have plunged the
country into all the horrors of a civil war,
and now evince sincerity by shouting
loyalty while engaged in destroying the
liberties of the people, and even go so.- far
us to dare to impeach lhe loyalty ot those
