BAKK, Allefflieiiy.Uomily. the thing is working. The Dayton Empire, alluding to the rapid increase of negroes in that part of Ohio, gives us the following: “In one shop in this city, there are. four negro blacksmiths. In a certain glue fac tory all the hands are negroes. A white man making one dollar a day, running a stationary engine in a certain carpenter’s shop, had to leave to make room tor a contraband at eighty cents per day Our Ohio cotemporary dwells upon these facts with spirit aud indignation, but before six months roll around it will be come used to them: and, if we are notegre giousty mistaken “eighty cents” per day will be quite acceptable to any mechanic whose labor is reduced to competition with that of runaway or contraband ne groes. In the Southern counties of Penn sylvania, bordering on Maryland, there are hundreds of these contrabands now engaged in harvesting, but there arc none receiving the sum of “eighty’’ cents a day fortheir services. Up as far as Dauphin county, wherein is located the Capital of our State, this runaway labor has crowded out free white, and free negro labor too. In and around Harrisburg,there are several hundred contrabands, some of whom are laboring in the field for twenty-five cents per day. We have heard of one philan thropic Abolitionist, living a short dis tance from Harrisburg, who had a number of blacks engaged at the liberal sum of ten cents (the Buchanan standard,) per day, and after he could use them no longer, and fearing that they would become a bur then to him, he, one fine morning, an nounced to them that their masters were after them, and in that tender and sympa thetic manner, our Abolition pecksniff, after robbing the poor wretches of their labor got clear of them forever. Here we have a practical illustration of the meanness and the workings of Aboli tionism. It is a simple compound of treachery, hypocrisy, meanness and trea son. Wherever you find a sniUling, ca daverous, lean and hungry looking dys peptic, turning up his pious eyes, lament ing the condition of the slave, you may be sure that ho will, for gain, not only oppress the negro but the white man ; and if he lias money to loan, he will raise liia per centage in proportion to the borrow er’s necessities. The greatest scoundrels are always'the greatest professors ; and the meanest creatures we have ever seen are professed philanthropists. The hardest masters, the cruelest landlords, and the meanest men on this side of _perdil ion are your canting philanthropists. They are loud in the advocacy of every eutopian scheme of charity which costs nothing, but the'cries of widows and orphans in their own hearing, receives no response from their stony and bloodless hearts. Their cold, glassy eyes are full of specula tion, but no pity ; :uid, when beggary and poverty sue to them for alms, they inva riably refer them to the overseers of the poor. 11' it were possible to ascertain 'the facts, it would be found that those who are loudest in their wailings over slavery and iu favor of its emancipation, are such monsters as we have described, free the slaves andtheggiOßflflfm’ffiSWnass their They will not go to wai nor will they contribute to assist others t go; the ' widows and orphans of dea patriots they shun as if they were lepers, and their only aim in advocating ; the war, even with words, is, not to restore their country, but to set free four millions of poor wretches, who, after being free, wonld find in these heartless fanatics their mean est and most merciless oppressors. OUB PLATFORM. The plain, open and-patriotic platform of the Pennsylvania Democracy, adopted at our late State Convention, is noticed in yesterday's Pittsburgh Gazette, hut that paper quotes but three of the resolutions composing it, and upon these it remarks as follows: - They evince an intolerance of the Anti- Slavery feeling of their Northern fellow citizens, . verging on the .Satanic, while they cannot hide their traitorous sympa thies for those men—their former political associates —who are waging the horrible rebellious war which is deluging the' soil 01 the country with the best blood'of her sons. This paragraph is simply one huge, un blushing falsehood, no more nor less; and the knave who penned it lied merely for the love of lying. Our platform evinces no ‘ intolerance ” except to Northern Abolition and Southern Secesskm'traitors. It denounces both and pledges the Dernoc “CL-°Lthc Sliltr ' the support of the Government until rebellion is entirely crushed and the Union restored. The object of the Convention was to save our Government from the open efforts ot Southern rebels and the no less dangerous machinations of Northern traitors, who have for years been laboring fora dissolu tion of the Union. ~ Wot Killed. Many persons that at first were reported to.have heen killed in the late battles turn ont to be still living. Among these is Ma jor General McCall, who is a prisoner at Richmond. It is understood that be is not wounded. This intelligence will be reeeiv ei this State. Genemf McCall hassufTered much with neuralgia lately, ties. 1 .'fjtiwr; greveted tbe'malMyi’aeiifcwas probacy while suffering from it andirom exhaustion that ho was captured. ABOLITION i THE PRESIDENT “ TKe-.ntdical atyflitioiiisty are evidently prenarine-for warlare, upon theMsident, unletyheado^th^infer nal schemes |*#c Senate of the United States, headed fanatic, Chandler of Michigan, in a fury of rage, while alluding to our late battles on the Peninsula, h i loose as fol lows: Jj He ( C han d 1 erl introduced a resolu tion which, if answered,. would show the true criminal. The crimjnality was reduc ed so as to be between two The great crime consisted in sacrificing and dividing this great army of the Potomac; and Ihe criminal is either Aluahain l.in colu or Geo, B.

The nation has been disgraced by this division of the army of the Poto mac, and E. M. Stanton always was op posed to it.’ i ’ 1 The slap at McClellan here is only in tended to give euiphasis to the onslaught on the President; because it is notorious that the General protested against having his forces taken from him, at the period alluded to. It is hardly probable that lie suggested his own humiliation, although he, unlike Fremont, patiently bore with it. In addition toj this Senatorial slab at the President, we have the following from the New York Evening Post, the ablest of the radical abolition papers in the coun try. Filling up the army from all “classes and ranks ’ means, of course, the arming of negroes. Says the /Ysf: "It is now fourteen months since Mr. Seward—so little perception had he ot the nature of thiswar—predicted thal it would be ended in sixty days. Hie Administra tion appears, by its acts, to have put full taith in his halcyon words. We have had i’or a year, ou the 1| oto.mac, the finest urmv that could be raised in the civilized world —an army no loss jthan two huudrod and tliirtV' thousand stroug—well equipped, well fed, woll supplied with every material of theart of warfare: but it has been allow ed to be frittered] away by idleness, bv disease, by battle under adverse circum stances, and by military incompetcncv in a thousand shapes. . Mr. Lincoln, then, we repeat,min: open his eyes without a jiuomenl's delay to the exigency. 1 hree things are more impera tive than all others: First, he must dismiss cvei [y heading agent who is imbecile or slothful ou the spot; second, lie must in iuse unity ol design and energy of purpose mto his entire Cabinet, and not allow the members of iL to devise inconsistent poli cies; aud, thirdly; he must recruit his armies from all classes and ranks as fast as they can be filled up, without fear of the meau and miserable prejudices of vulgar brawlers.” DEMOCRATIC^STATE CON VENTION IN OHIO.

We are withont. the information we ex pected to possess and to impart to our readers this morning, of the operations yeslerday in front of this city. The au thorities exclude ail reporters from the lines o! the army, and afford no intelli gence to the press, though the whole coun try is almost breathless with anxiety to know what is transpiring—though a battle has been raging nearly all day within hearing. We only know that the fire was resumed before day onthe other side of the Chicka hominy, near Mechauicsville, and that by night the enemy had been driven South ward, down the Cliickuhominy, a distance Of three or four miles. The firing, when ever they stood tlieir ground, was heavy; but iliiH generally was not for longperiods. Their falling back was, for the most part orderly, and they succeeded in getting off most, of their artillery, as well as the great er part of their dead and wounded. Some six or eight pieces of artillery were wrested from them, and the usual amount of small arms, knapsacks, overcoats, Ac., were found strewn along the line of retreat. — They evidently seek to avoid a general en gagement, whether with the hope of rein loreeuients, or with the view of drawing us on to tlieir strongest position, or from sheer cowardice, it is impossible to say. Our forces engaged yesterday were di visions under command of Stonewall .lack soil, l.ongstreet, and the two Hills. Our scanty information does not enable us to sav whether the forces oil this side ot tin, Uiiiekahominy were engaged yesterday.- The casualties are not believed to be heavy though quite a number of wounded bail been brought to this city. To-day ;Satur ilny) will probably witne.-s a general nmi decisive battle. \\ e have no tear of tin result. We doubt it any community in the world ever exhibited more composure under similar circumstances limn was exhibited by the people of Itichiuond yesterday while tin- battle was progressing near the city, tin* result ot which was to determine wTiellior they were to be slaves or freemen. No excitement was visible anywhere. Men, women, and children, except those who were ministering to the wounded sol diers, were engaged in their daily pursuits, or promenaded the streets as usual. No levity was observed, but each countenance betokened a calm reliance on life favor of God, the justice of our cause, and the valor ol our troops. 1 his stoical equanimity is a characteristic of the Richmond people, whieh.hus otteu been regarded by strangers as n sort of.soeietary phenomenon." It should be cultivated, as a preventive of panics, to which nil communities are sub ject who have suffered themselves to be afflicted by sensational excitements. 11l the afternoon, groups were collected at some* ot llu* corners of main streets, anxious to hear the latest reports Irom the battle-field : anil about the hospitals, when the wounded were brought in, there were similar gatherings. Apart from these.in cidents, tin-re was nothing to indicate that till- "great battle" for the right of sell govcninn-ul was pending within a half hour's ride of the city.' There wax one other variation trom the general aspect o the streets which deserves a passing notice. It was tin- absence irom the sidewalks o tin: tinselled "otliccrs" anil absentees from camp. Ihe latter hud returned to the post of duty, with the exception, pt-ihap of a few who, together with the gidd-hrai gents, had secluded themselves from ol serval ion by remaining within doors uni dark. *1 he people of Richmond acted we yesterday, ami should, us we doubt m they will, maintain their phihemphic llt-bel \«>H H from I lie SoillliHi'sl l’’ruMi ihuGri.-nada ( Miss.)

Hi-li-iini with no little degree of .satis laetion from the Mississippiau that Gen. Van Dorn has snperceeded Gen. Lovell in eommand of the toree- at Vicksburg. The department, as we understand it, assigned to his immediate command, embraces all South Mississippi and Hast Louisiana, while the defence of North Mississippi and Alabama is assigned to (ien. Haggles, now .stationed at bis place. Under these two chieftains we doubt not the defence, of the State will be made thorough and complete. The experience, energy, seal, and activity of (ien. Buggies, combined with u pro ioutid sagacity, lit him peculiarly for ac tive duty in the lield. Having been among the first to secede from the old army, and join that of the Confederacy, he has not, we believe, lost an hour from duty since the war commenced. He is deservedly popular with bis command, whose confi dence lie has to an unlimited extent. Uuderthis new disposition of our forces, then, we feel somewhat reassured that our people mav rely upon their security from any formidable movement, of the enemy upon this portion of the Stale.

Iwenty-eight Union men, citizens ol Marion county, Alabama, have been ar rested and taken to Columbus, Missis sippi. 1,, 10 Richmond papers state that two I Confederate partisan rangers were recently I >'y, Ibe Federals in Northwestern V lrginia. They counsel retaliation. The Federal llag-ship Hartford, together with a number of mortar and gunboats, passed Bayou Sara on the morning of. the 20th, coming up. It. is stated that the captain of the boat that brought Gen. Prentiss and other Yan kee prisoners up the Alabama river, a lew days ago, actually refused to let the pris oners eat. at the first table, to the exclusion of the passengers—there not being room fur both—whereupon Prentiss became in dignant and threatened to starve himself to death 1 When he succeeds, one ration of corn and bacon will be saved to the Confederacy. Refugees and Prisoners. Monday last, says the Abingdon Virgin ian, of the 18th ult., a cavalcade of twenty or thirty Kentuckians, with ten or twelve prisoners, arrived at that place, through Pond Bay. As the rangers were coming through the mountain counties of Ken- tucky, they were attacked by a company ot Lincoln guards. They, however, turn ed the tables upon them, killed the leader of the guards, took seventeen prisoners, and sent the balance scampering-tbrough the woods. The following is the Appeal's version ol the White river affair: I “We have intelligence of a perfectly I trustworthy nature that some days since, while Col. fitch was on his way up White river, with twojregiments for the aelief of Curtis, preceded by two gunboats, he was brought to a halt by a Confederate battery at St. Charles. One shot from the battery displaced the steam pipe of the first gun boat, andanother entered the magazine, I causing an explosion, which shivered the boat to atoms, killing and wounding all but twelve out of one hundred and seven ty-five men on board. “A signal flag from one of the boats was mistaken, by the troops nianning the bat tery for a- Hag of trace.. A force was in consequence successfislfydanded from the transports, who took the battery in the rear, capturing it, together with some forty, prisoners. The. battery cohsisted of some, manned by seventy men. We! tops soqnto ;l>e able to announcerthat GeneraU Hindman and Roane have given:.

Price and his army*: As few people have an idea of the char acter of ihe man, 1 give you a hasty pen and ink sketchy as he appeared to me during a brief interview, lie is over six feet in height, with a frame to match, full but. not portjy, and straight as an Indian. His carriage is marked with dignity, grace and gentleness, and every motion bespeaks the attitude ol a well-bred gentleman. He has a large ’Vebsterian head, covered with a growth of thick, white hair, a high, broad, intellectual forehead, florid face, no beard, and a mouth among whose latent smiles you never fail to discover .the iron will that surmounts all obstacles. f l he army of Gt»u. Price is made up of the extremes. It is a heterogeneous mix ture ot all huiuau compounds, aud repre sents in its various elements every condi tion of Western life. There are the old and the youug, the rich and puor, the high and Jow, the grave and the gay, the planter and the laborer, farmer and clerk, buuter aud boatman, merchant aud woods man men, too, who have come from every fctate and been bronzed iu every latitude, from the mountains of the north west to the pampas of Mexico. Kvery man has come from his home stead fitted with the best and strongest that loving mothers, wives and sisters could put upon him. Aud the spectacle presented as they are drawn up m line, whether for marching or infection, nec essarily forms an arabesque pattern of the most parti colored crowd of people upon which human eyes ever rested. Some are in black—Tull citizen's dre-;*, wiih heaver hals and frock coats; some in home-spun drib; some in gray, blue and streaked: some tu nothing but red .-diirls, punts and big top-boots: some attempt a display with the old-fashioned militia uniforms of their tort-fathers; some have bauuers flouting from their ‘‘outer walls’’ in the rear; some would pass for our friend, the Georgia Major, who lined to wear nothing buL his shirt-collar ami u pair of spur*. A Hick hi •• Voting" Meeesli. A correspondent of the Grenada Ajntval pitches into General Heuuregard forex pelliug newspaper com enpundeuts. !J<* s&VH : It is believed by some that Gen. lleuu regard has been iuduced to issue this un just aud tyrunical order by Gen. Hragg,the most waspish officer in the army, or by some one of t he swarm of gaudy butterflies who bask in the sunlight of his presence— maity of whom are volunteer aids orollioers whose merits have not been duiy apprecia ted hy the independent writers of the day. '1 he truth is. the characters to whom I al lude are the hane of the urmv. There is hardly a general ollicer in the'serviee who who is not surrounded by a multitude of volunteer aids, with whip and spur, (the latest style of riding, i who follow in the train of their chiefs like a comet, and who. though ornamental, arc seldom useful.— for the most part they are youug men who have wealthy parents, and who have not the patriotism to enter the ranks and per form the duties of atrue man anil a soldier. I hey are perl, insoleniand impudent: they ride fine horses with gay trappings, u>.e au immense amount of. gold lace, swear like troopers, and render themselves gen erally disagreeable and ridiculous. This is true not only of the volunteer aids, but of many ollicers whose heads have been turned by their sudden elevation, and who think they are required to exercise their power every hour in the day, lest some body should forget what ‘’mighty men of valor they are. 1 hese characters are gen• ally known in the army by the vulgar but expressive name of squirt.

The rehcl loree in Virginia is estimated at fully two hundred mid fifty thousand. They admit a loss of twenty-live thousand iu the re cent battles. They U re subsisting on what is termed half rations, by which is meant only the substantial, without any of the small stores. They have an abundance of bacon, rice, and corn, but no salt nor coflee, nor other small stores, that go to make up a soldier’s rations. Since the occupation of the Mississippi by the Federal forces cutting off communi cation with Texas, their supplies of beef are brought from Florida, where there is an abundance of wild cattle. The stock of whisky is pretty well exhausted. Hr. Oliver |says the greatest depression lie ob served was produced by the intelligence that President Lincoln had called out three hundred thousand additional troops. The opinion prevailed that if these troops should he promptly furnished the rebel game would be promptly ended. They exhausted their resources for soldiers, anil would he enabled lo contend against a fresh army of that size. Their only hope is that the call will not be promptly respond ed to by volunteers, hut that there will he sufficient delay to afford an opportunity for foreign interventiou before they are forced to give up. Or. Oliver says the rebel plan of lighting is not with reserve, but by retreats in the field, and that in every battle, regiments are regularly relieved by fresh troops alter having fought for a little while. Jn this way it was hoped to wear out and tire down the troops under McClellan. It is seldom I that the same regiments have been allowed to engage twice in the same battle. The rebels have concentrated nearly all their available troops at Richmond, except so much of Beauregard’s army as stopped at Charleston, and about thirty-five thou sand of the same army left in Mississippi. The rebels are ternbly afraid of the gun boats. They reckon one gun-boat equal to a whole division on land. They admit that the recent movement of General McClellan was a masterly stroke ol jiolicy, and that his present position is infinitely stronger than the one he abandoned. 1 1 is his impression that no farther attack will be made upon him where he is. The rebels are sending their wounded and prisoners to the interior. There is no room for them in Richmond; and medical stores are exceedingly scarce. Dr. Oliver was obliged to dress wounds and amputa tions with only cold water and bandages. The reported death of Stonewell jack son is untrue.

M'CLELLAN ADVANCNIC. NO FIGHT! N'G GOING OK / The Navy Department has received dis patches dated United States Steamship Brooklyn, oil'Vicksburg, June 22d, con taining the following from Capt. Craven to Commondore Farrugut: Sik: In obedience to your order of the 13th, 1 left ;Baton Rouge on my way np the river at 1 p. m. of that day. On the 14th, at !i r. m., T sent the marine guard and a party of seamen, in all about one hundred men, under charge of Lieutenant Lowry, on' shore, at Bayou Sara, for the purpose of destroying the telegraph appa ratus and wires, and with orders to inform the authorities of that town that we were on the river tor the purpose of enforcing the laws of our common country, and protecting its loyal citizens,, and at the same time to warn them that if any hostile demonstrations were made upon the ves sels or transports as they passed in front of their town by the thieves and murderers yclept guerrillas, the town would be held responsible for it, and at least placed un der contribution if not denit with more severely. At-about 11 o'clock this morning Lieut. Lowry returned with his party to the ship, having accomplished his work, except se curing the telegraph apparatus which had been removed but a few minutes before he landed. About two miles of wire was cut and brought on board, the vitrol and battery destroyed. The people appeared to be peaceably disposed* were civil and did not make any demonstrations. The Mayor and chief magistrate inform ed Lowry that but two or three days pre vious to our arrival the town had been vis ited by a band of guerrillas and that they had committed many outrages against law and order, and that he had arrested a Lieutenant who commanded the party but he was rescued bv bis men and borne off to t lie woods, lie represented these guer rillas as lawless set, of whom the inhabi tants, the country and the small towns had greater dread than of the visit of our navy or even our army, and hoped we would not hold him responsible for acts of cut throat bands. Before leaving the shore, Lowry, with the flag of our Union at the head of his party, to the tune of Yankee Doodle, marched through several of the principal streets. We passed Natchez about ten thirty on the morning of the lClh. On the morning of the -17th the Richmond joined us aud about nine thirty we passed Rodney. We arrived at our present anchorage on the 18th, at eleven thirty in the morn ing. No where on our route were we mo lested, ami 1 saw no change in the aspect oi things since our last trip, excepting at Grand Gull. The town there was in ruins,- haring been riddled by shot and then de stroyed by fire. On a small bill just to the righVif rile town was a small earthwork, which had only been recently thrown up, and was capable of receiving three or four small field-pieces.-' ft, as \v cll as the town, was entirely deserted. On the 20th iust., Commander Porter arrived here with ten of his mortar-boats. Yesterday the Mia ini arrived with another, and this afternoon four others were towed U P* Commander Porter informed me that the flotilla was tired upon at Ellis Cliffs, and that it is the intention ofthe rebels to mount a troublesome battery at that place, and also at Quitman’s Landing, as he learned at a farm house when .coming up. ihe boats which arrived this morning were r- red , from Ell!s Clifls, and one, the Emily Paush, was hit two or three times, one shot having temporarily disabled one of her boilers. Yesterday morning I sent the Oneida and Winona to look after these places. To-morrow I shall send the Ka tahden to convey the two b.oats as far as Baton Rouge, or until she meets yon there. At Vicksburg the rebels appear to be quite busy in extending and fortifying their works, and it is said they have some ten thousand troops quartered in and about the town. Ike Washington Star says: On Friday last a division of McDowell's corps took up the line of march for Warrenton Vu the point where it now holds. We pre sume this movement is preparatory a prompt and proper concentration of Gen. Pope s army. \ estei day afternoon a sub marine battery was towed to the-Navy Yard by a tug from Philadelphia. As it lies in the water it resembles in shape a sturgeon, and is about thirty feet long and six feet in diameter. Washington, July B.—lt is-the curren belief Congress will adjourn sine die by next Monday, the business before it being already reduced to only a few prominent measures, and other matters to be disposed without much controversy.
