’ ~ ‘ AtTDITOR GENERAL,
ISAAC SI/ESfKEB, im°" bounty.
SURVEYOR GENERAL,
;i . ~»» p. barb, Allegheny County.
gen. McClellan.
While the brilliant successes of this
young General, are extorting laudation
from some who were, until within a week,
his mOBt persistent calumniators, we have
a class of blinded bigots, pulseless crea
tures, destitute of patriotism and decency,
who still keep up their assaults upon him.
Among the meanest of this sort of Aboli
tion, traitors is that compound of senility
and venom, the Pittsburgh Gazette. In
yesterday’s issue of that shameless con
cern we find the following. Alluding to
late criticism of the press generally .upon
the blunders of the War Department, it
says:
“Mr. Stanton is especially assailed, and
We think most unjustly. There is not a
more devoted, earnest patriot in Washing
ton, nor one who more clearly sees all the
terrible, exigencies of the occasion, or is
more willing to meet them in the only way
they can be met for the safety of the coun
try. .In assailing him, the aim is at the
President, whom they dare not moreopenly
attack; and the assaults come only from
one quarter—/rout the friends of one Gen
eral, who it more open to criticism than
any other public man in the country, but
who has, for the sake of the great cause,
been borne with , with a patience and for
- bearanee as remarkable as the provocation
has been great." 1
The New York Tribune, which, for
six months assailed McClellan with a fe
rocity almost unparalleled has, since it
has had a special correspondent upon the
ground watching the General’s every
. movement, taken back all its slanders, and
itnowprouounceshimthemanof men, and
isiree In its condemnation of the action of
the War Department for its interference
in his original plan of campaign. In one
letter from the field of action the Tri
bune's correspondent declares that the
only “ reply which should be given to the
scoundrels who disparage the Major Gen
eral should be a blow!'' The adminis
tration which deposed McClellan from his
original command and divided his forces
into three or four divisions, thereby en
dangering the whole, should not be criti
cised, in .the estimation of the Gazette ;
hut iu lieu of that McClellan should be
slandered. What a wretched thing this
miserable Gazette h&3 become? Always
mean in its proscription, it has now become
imbecile from its own malignity, and is
absolutely choking from the effects of
its accnmuiated Abolitiou hatred of every
man who will not bow down and worship
its disgusting idol. While the entire press
of the country is groaning under the weight
of compliment to our young and heroic
General, our limping, hunchbacked and
deformed exponent of Abolition malice
here has the brazen audacity to undertake
the defense of the War Department, and
blame its notorious and acknowledged
blunders upon the General whom it over
slaughed. Could meanness and cowardice
go further ?
OPPOSITION TO EVERY
THING.
The Memphis Appeal of ii recent date
speaking of the Northern Democracy thus
classifies them as abolitionists. The Appeal
is hard np for matter to poison its readers
■when it has recourse to such atrocious
falsehoods. The Northern Democracy
have no more sympathy lor Abolitionism
than it has for its twin treason secession
ism. The Appeal says:
It toots not that there is a difference'of
■ opinion between the two upon the subject
or universal abolishment of slavery, so
long-asthejr are indiscriminately arrayed
against ns in the ranks of the Federal
~ army of invasion that now destroys onr
homes, impoverishes our people and rav
agesour fields. The whole North, irres
pective of former political parties, is
arrayed in a solid phalanx of armed hos
tility to us. and we must whip democrats
and ' so called conservatives, as well as
abolitionists and republicans, if we would
be free. We can see no practical differ
ence! between them so far as vital issue to
us—the war question—is concern ed. The
platform of the northern democracy boasts
aa one ot its tenets the enunciation that
the ‘‘rebellion must bee crushed” and in
so doing, places itself not only beyond a
claim tooursympathy, but as equally hos
tile and malignant toward ns aßthe origin
al advocates and supporters of Abraham
Lincoln. Where will we find more odious,
violent and ungenerous enemies tbanDix, ;
Dickinson, McClernand and Butler—all
northern democrats of the first water.”
Let ns hear no further mention made of ;
of this faction as the especial triends of 1
the South.
A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.
Oar local column yesterday contained
an account of a most bloody and brutal
committed upon the person of
Mr. John Obey, Jr., a conductor on the
Lawrenceville Passenger H. It. ,on Satur
- day -Three or four ruffians it
appears entered the car. on which young
Obey was engaged, and conducted them
selves in so ruffianly a manner as to com
pel the lady passengers to complain. The
conductor interfered, when he was set
upon by the blackguards, one of whom
-with a knife inflicted deadly stabs npon his
person. It was a most wanton and cow
ardly attibk, inflicting wOunds oif which
yesterday taorning.
•We must refrain from speaking, as we
fiehl of this piece of butchery, -leaving at*
perpetrator of it to be dealt with by the
offended law; but we may safely say that
it waa-an outrageof the most unprovoked
7 and, villainous nature. Young John Obey;
the victim of this monstrous outrage, was
one of the most exemplary young men in
' the community,
CORRECTION. I
The conclusion of the second paragraph!
of the leading editorial in yesterday s Post,
having been overlookkd by thtscomposUor
and not printed, 'tendered our entire
SMaiung incomplete. AUndinWte the late
;callfor three hundred thonsandvolunteers,
we said: ' ' ;
“Abolitionism, taking advantage of the
resentment of our people against Southern
treason does not encourage these three
hundred thousand additional troops to
take the field for the Uni° n > but for the
purpose of destroying slavery. Not con
tent with their traitnmns course against
the restoration of a bleeding Union, they
: ’persist in tbdr tre “ on “gainst it, as if
bent npon its eternal separation.
The omitted sentences were as follows:
“B ut no matter what the designs of these
infuriated Abolilionists maybe, the troops
required must be raised to save the Union.
The Democracy of Pennsylvania are
pledged to this: aad when in power it
will bring the government back to its true
legitimate functions. Should the war
be still raging in the country, tho
Democracy will see that it shall he
prosecuted not lor purposes of emancipa
tion and-negro equality, but for the sim
ple restoration of the Union of all the
States. In the meantime we have an op
portunity now presented for genuine Abo
litionists to enter the service: General
Rosseau, of Kentucky, stated iu a speech
in Louisville, the other day, that in Gen.
Halleck’s immense army, of two hundred
thousand, there was not one Abolitionist;
let our emancipation patriots now enlist
for the army of the Potomac, and not re
main here at home endeavoring to divert
the prosecution of hostilities from an effort
to save onr Union. There being no Abo
litionists in the great western division, our
blatent patriots ought to furnish a few fur
the army in Virginia. But it won’t be
done.”
THE PENNSYLVANIA RE
SERVES
“All accounts concur,” remarks the
Philadelphia Bulletin , “in saying that the
dauntless bravery of the division of Penn
sylvania Volunteers commanded by (inner
al McCall, usually called the Reserve
Corps, really saved the army of the Po
tomac. They were in the very front, and
were attacked by superior numbers, during
five successive days. But they always met
the enemy bravely, fighting like veterans,
and even when reduced to half their origi
nal strength and worn out by the battles of
five days, they still showed no signs of
flinching. With any less determined di
vision than this in the front onr army might
have been wholly destroyed or captured.' 1
These Pennsylvanians have covered
themselves with glory; ten thousand
strong when first attacked by “Stonewall”
Jackson, they now number less than one
third that number. The slaughter of, and
the courage exhibited by the Old Guard at
Waterloo did not surpass that of the brave
sons of the Keystone in the series of bat
tles just terminated on the I’eniusula. in
Virginia. In this intrepid division of the
army our own county is nobly represented.
Among the finest regiments in it arc the
Eighth and Ninth. In the Seventh we
learn that Captain Gallope, of this citv,
was .badly wounded in one of the several
engagements of last .week, while Lieut.
Col. Anderson, of the Ninth, our old post
master, after five successive days of almost
incessant fighting, came out of the fray
with but a slight wound in the foot The
steady courage and endurance of this mer
itorious officer are spoken of in the highest
! terms by soldiers just returned from the
army. We have, also, learned that Col.
11. Biddle Roberts’ regiment was in oua of
the most obstinate engagements of the
week, and_ that for five hours they bore
themselves like veterans and did fearful
execution upon the foe. The Colonel
managed his command most skillfully.
When the exact result of those engage
ments is ascertained, it will be found that
Allegheny county will be second to none in
the State or country in the character of the
material she has furnished to put down re
beilion.
THE RESULTS OP THE LATE
BATTLES.
Messrs. Editors
There is such a diversity of opinion in
regard to the effect of the late battles near
Richmond that I feel it a duty I owe to the
community, which has turnished so many
gallant soldiers to this, our great war for
the maintenance of the Constitution of
our fathers, to give them a few ideas,
based on some knowledge of military
movements, which will, I trust, set at rest
all fears for the future.
The masterly. movement of our young
chieftain when attacked by n brave, skill
fully handled and superior force of the en
emy, which has resulted in his massing his I
gallant army in its precedent position on
James River, is without parallel in history
and insures one of two events, “the evac
uation of Richmond within ten days,” or
the capture of the “whole of the "Confed
erate army.”
Richmond is the store-house of the
Southern forces. It is, also, to the South
what Pittsburgh is to the North, the man
ufactory of its cannon. At the Tredegar
Works in Richmond are cast cannon from
iron taken from the same veins of ore as
the celebrated Bloomfield ore of this State,
used by us in making our cannon. De
prived of that point they have no other re-,
source from whence to keep up their sup
ply of that necessary arm of the service. I
Richmond is in communcation with the
freat producing fields of the South and
outh-west, by means of two lines of rail
way, connecting on the South side of the
James river and entering the city by one
bridge—these roads at a few miles distant
from their point of intersection are joined
by various other roads ramifying through
all parts of the Southern States. Let this
be noted. Gen. McClellan’s present posi
tion in full possession of the James river,
with 80,000 men on the North bank, in a
position impregnable to the assaults of the
enemy, with reinforcements constantly ar
riving, offers more than a mere defiance to
its foes —it does far more, it threatens the
communications with Richmond lying
within fifteen miles of the farthest line of
supply to the Southern metropolis and
about five miles from the nearest line—it
is within reach of the grasp of our young
military giant to cut off both these avenues
of supply, and it will be most cerlainly
done, unless the enemy evacuate Rich
mond and retreat South with all their
forces without delay. If they are too slow
to do this, then the forces now in and
about Richmond are bagged as surely as
the sun shall rise and set—a few days
jnore—for it is impossible that the store-
Bjttßts of Richmond can contain more
tha\a few day’s food for the immense
have congregated there in the
vain tnWof crushing in one swoop our
brave littnsarmy. .-Allthe country North
of RichmoaJ aadce thsir control would
not miiiiiin flibw rtni Trnnhj and with our
gallant Pope vt%uo,9iNltned soldiers un
der his conSHbid, will not be likely to suf
fer the afea over which they might forage
to be increased. T>ay as a military man,
that the results' of A* battles before
Richmond are in their effects irretrievably
disastrous to the Southern Confederacy,
and have hastened the day when ’we will
once more see in'its full glory— “ The
Constitution as it is and the Union as it
was.'* S. M. W.
EXTRACTS FROM SOUTHERN
PAPERS.
We make the following extracts from
Southern papers of recent date:
From the Grenada (Miss.) Appeal, June 23.
Halleek’a New Policy.
Everything indicates that the Union
army under Gen. Halleck will occupy the
remainder of the Summer in operations
in Tennessee, and along a scope of coun
try a short distance south of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad. Already has
his force been divided. Buell's division,
it has been ascertained, is moving east
along the road, doubtless to operate in
East Tennessee and to protect the rail
road; Wallace’s is at or near Memphis;
while Sherman’s is on the Charleston road
west of Corinth, charged with the duty of
repairing the work and protecting it from
injury. Pope’s command is not reported,
but, from the best intormation we can ob
tain, we believe it is still in the vicinity ol
Corinth.
Thai numerous raids through the coun
try, a lew miles sooth of the road, will be
a part of tho policy of the enemy has been
indicated ny their advance upon and re
treat from several points in North Mis
sissippi and Alabama. At all points with
in their reach, which are left unprotected,
these movements may be looked for : and
every precaution should be taken to re
move or destroy the valuables and staples
which so greatly excites the cupidity of the
genuine Yankee.
With this disposition ofthe Union forces,
an opportunity lor effective movements
against these detachments in detail is of
fered, which we hope wll not he permit
to pass by. Our troops can certainly move
with greater celerity in this climate, and
in a country with which they are acquaint
ed, then can the unacclimated men of the
North, who are already worn down by
disease and are unacquainted with the
country. To our army such operations
cannot be otherwise than beneficial—to
the enemy they would be fatal. Our men
want to battle in the cause in which they
are engaged—let them have the opportu
nity: thepeople expeet,fighting to.be done;
let them not be disappointed.
From the Greneda (Miss.) Ari'ca 1. J uue 24.
The Progress ol’ the Enemy,
Though not at all disposed to be censo
rious, and willing at all times to yield to
our military commanders our fullest eon-,
defence, yet there are some things in the
conduct of our military affairs, which, to
outsiders, at least, seem somewhat incom
prehensible. Among other things, we may
mention the surrender by us and the un
interrupted and continued possession by
the enemy of the Memphis and Charleston
railroad. We cannot resist asking our
selves the question from day to day, shall
the enemy, unmolested, continue to hold
possession of and operate this great thor
oughfare ? They have already, if not quite,
succeeded putting it in running order,and
this, too, when they anight have been easi
ly prevented by our troops, who havebeen
quietly lying back in the woods, waiting an
attack oi the enemy—an attack which it is
reasonable to suppose the enemy will nev
er make.
We can readily understand the policy as
well as the necessity of evacuating our
river cities and fortifications. The gun
boats of the enemy have forced this neces
sity upon us; but there are no gunboats
on the railroads, and it does seem to us
that a respectable force of cavalry and ar
tillery might at any time be made efficient
in dispersing tho squads of the enemy en
gaged in repairing and guarding the Mem
phis and Charleston road. We cannot see
why this road should not be rendered and
kept useless in the hands of the enemy,
and we iiope jot that they will never be
permitted to operate it with impunity. If
so, it will prove a great lever in their
hands. By it they will be enabled uf trans
port troops, provisions and supplieafrom
one section ofthe country to another with
an expedition that will battle all the skill
and. efforts of our commanders. ’ The mat
ter is one, in our estimation, that should
ut once claim the attention of those in
authority.
The Substitute Trade.
From tho Richmond Dispatch, June 24.
, A few days ago we alluded to the im
mense frauds and villiany being enrried on
in this city in buying and selling substitut es
by men who make a regular business of
the nefarious trade. Although frequently
| spoken ot and condemned by this paper
and others, the evil still continues, and, if
anything, is rather on the increase. It
should be put a stop to by the authorities,
and some of the swindlers, but the men
who furnish them and the substitutes them
selves, who sell their services with the
deliberate intention of deserting as
soon ns the purchase money is safely in
their pockets, summarily punished. Too
. strong terms cannot be used in condemna
tion of this pernicious practice. It has a
bad influence npon the army; for if these
rascals can elude the service, and desert
when they please without being punished,
why cannot others do the same? Another
case has come to our knowledge. A few
days ago a man by the name ot Levasseur
went to the Third Alabama regiment, and
bargained to furnish a substitute for a man
then in service. The price fixed upon was
SBOO, the dealer in substitutes receiving
$3OO for his services. The man’s name was
Byrnes, who came with a certificate from
the British' consul and recommendations
from others; but as soonasthe bargain was
concluded, the substitute absconded, re
turning, probably to the person who orig
inally brought him, to be sold over to oth- :
er parties. Within the last three weeks i
seven men from this one regiment alone I
have been purchased, and all of whom ]
have since deserted. Snch conduct is no i
more or less than stealing, and it is time
due check should be put upon such opera- ]
tions by the police. The morale of such t
conduet is bad, and if allowed to do so on, .
the army will be reduced very materially.
Americans in Borne—The Death
of Mrs. Seott.
A letter from Rome, dated June 12,
announces the arrival of ex-Governor
Randall of Wisconsin, the new American
Minister resident. The rooms of the
American Embassy are situated for the
present at No. 18 Trinita di Monti.
Archbishop Hughes was to leave on the
14th of June for Paris, and intended to
return to this country in August.
The wife of General Scott, who died
in Rome on Tuesday, June, 10, had resi
ded in that city for several months, suf
fering from a severe bronchial affection,
but her condition was,not regarded as
alarming until a day or two before her
death. She was not attended by any of
her immediate friends during her last ill
ness, her relations being absent at Paris.
Her body has been embalmed, inclosed
in a lead coffin, and removed to the
rooms of the American Legation, whence
it will be brought to the United States on
the arrival of Colonel Scott and wife,
who were on the way from Paris.

Thirty-Seventh I'eagreM.
Washisgtos, July 7th.— Hot-SE.—Mr.
Edwards, of New Hampshire, presented a
bill, which was passed, directing credits
to be given on the proper books to the
several Indian tribes for the amount of
trust bonds abstracted from the Interior
Department.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the. State of the Union.
Mr. Morris, of Ohio, said he came here
to support the administration by every
Constitutional means to put down the re
bellion, and in this he had been consist
ent. He had voted for all supplies m men
and money.
Mr. Van Horn, of New York, spoke of
the vast importance of the construction of
the ship canal around Niagara Falls. All
the petitions and papers on the subject had
been referred to the Select Committee, ot
which he was chairman.
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, briefly vin
dicated the late issued address of the
Democratic party. The demoralization of
rebels would not put an end to the war
This must be done by armed men and
victory plucked from the battle-field with
the cannon and bayonet. The address was
the opinion of others, and for it he was
responsible.
The Committee then rose and the House
adjourned.
Sexate— Mr. Wilmot, of Pa., presented
a petition of Thos. W. Braidwood .for the
appropriation of public lands for the
benefit of Industrial Schools for women.
Mr. Fessenden, of Me., from Committee
on Finance reported back tariff bill with
amendments.
Mr, Chandler, of Mich., offered a reso
lution that the Secretary of War furnish
the Senate with copies of all orders of the
Executive to Gen. McClellan relative to
advancing the army of the Potomac on
Richmond and all correspondence between
said General and the Executive from
the date of ihe order, 22d of February, «to
advance on Manassas up to the Ist of May,
likewise numerical force of the army of
the Potomrc as shown by the rolls in No
vember, 1861, and January, February and
March, 1862, and the number of troops
Gen. McClellan took to Fort Monroe, the
number at Fort Monroe, and reinforce
ments sent up to Jannaiy 1862. Laid
over.
Mr. Sumner, of Mass., moved to amend
the bill with reference to the legislative
powers conferred, where it says there shall
be no interference with laws and institu
tions. He cited several laws of the State
of North Carolina against the education
of slaves, &e., as laws which onght not in
any way to be sanctioned or enforced by
the General Government. A long debate
ensued.
Daring the debate, Mr. Cowan, of Pa.,
said hi believed the system of legislation
pursued here has brought us to the condi
tion we are now in 9 of a massed enemy
against us. Where is now the great army’
And shall we go on fighting as if we were
■ the abolition party fighting against the
pro-slavery party?
Mr. Chandler said the Senator from
Pennsylvania wanted to know where the
army was or who placed them there. The I
army of the Potomac when it marched on
Manassas nombesed 230,000, and the ene
my less than 80,000. They inarched on
Manassas and found 32 wooden guns and
1,100 dead horses. That army conld have
marched to Richmond in thirty days and
not lost 1,000 men, and there was no im-
Sediments to its marching to Charleston or
few Orleans, but the Senator from Penn
sylvania wants to know who placed the
army where it was.
The press, politicians, and traitors to
the country declare that E. M. Stanton
pat them there, bat Stanton had nothing
to do with potting an army in the marshes
of the Chickahominy. This is a matter of
criminalits—gross criminality, which
should consign the criminal to eternal de
testation ana condemnation.
The country demands sacrifice for this
crime, and the press of the countryde
manding the sacrifice of a mere clerk—
Mr. Stanton, a mere clerk to obey or
ders of the President. He, Chandler
introduced a resolution, whieh if an
swered, would show the true criminal
