GEO. B. M'CLELLAX. irs MEETING or THE DEMOCRAT IC~COMMITTEE OF CORRESPOND ENCE—The Democratic Committee of C .rres pondence for the county uf Allegheny, wiiinieet at the ST. CHARLES HOTEL, in the ,-itv 0 t Pittsburgh, on SATURDAY, the 19th day oi JULY, A, D., 1862, at 11 o'clock a. h. A general attendance is requested. THOMAS DOXSELLY, Chairman. Democratic State Ticket. AUDITOR GENERAL, ISAAC SLEXKCK, luiou Comity SURVEYOR GENERAL JAKES P. BARR, Allegheny County THE GAZETTE OH TREASON. In an editorial in Thursday's Post, sug gested by the probability of our govern ment resorting to conscription, we staled ‘hat the rebels are more united now than they were sir months ago: and that this was partially produced by the course of the Northern Abolitionists, furnishing South ern traitors with material by which they are crushing out the Union feeling in the South. This idea has been repeated over and over again by the leading Unionists ol - -the Border States. Joseph Holt has im plored Congress to refrain from playing into the rebels' hands, hr sm-b speeches ns Lovejoy'a and others. Oov. Johnston, of Tennessee. Ims over and m-er aeain con jured them to dnsist. Parson Brownlow. William 11. Polk. (Governor Stanley, of Ivorth Carolina, and a multitude of others, have joined in the general desire of Southern Union men: sud not withstanding these notorious facts, the ab olition idiot of the Govt/,- rails it son.’ We begin to suspect that the editor who employs this b-rm so frequently is not awaro of its meaning. The citizen who differs from its partisan crotchets, no matter how absurd or contemptible, is a traitor! Senator Cowan it almost daily denounces as such. The X. Y. World, one of the ablest and must devoted of llc pubhean Union papers, the Goieitc accuses of treason, merely lor the expression of an opinion concerning the management of the War Department. Kvery Democrat, who will not vote to pm abolitionists in office it denounces ns a sympathizer with Breckinridge and his treason: in ira: hit has noother term but that of traitor for nil who are not favorable to its disgustingnotions of “natural and political equality." This is the spirit of infernal fanaticism ; it , overs its own dark designa against the Const na tion and the Union by accusations against its betters, and it would, if it could, not only silence complaintagainst its viliiauies. but would grant no toleration of opinion which did not applaud its performances. Its teachers are fanatical, revolutionary and destructive as the rebels thc-mselves : and like them, to accomplish their designs, they would pour the very - milk of concord into hell,’’ to destroy their c: entry's peace and confound all unity and fellow ship. among their fellow men. With a maniac's fury they revel in the prospect of blood and carnago ; the destruction of tin leading rebels will not appease their ven geance, hut universal slaughter only is to stop the contest. All who inhabit a ‘southern State nro to be subject to the horrors of indiscriminate massacre if Abo lition designs aro accomplished. T'ity for the thousands who are left widows’and fatherless by the deaths of patriots who gave up their lives for the Union never moistens their glassy eyes, but the bloody monsters are struggling to puss nets in Congress, designed to prolong the rebel lion by crushing all Union feeling in the Southern States, the result of which must, be either the acknowledgement of the suc cess of Southern treason, or a war of! wasting extermination. Tho lasting, ex “terminating and horrid hatred of the Moors in Spain was not more unrelenting than the infernal malice of this fell spirit, of proscription. A shocking scheme, nfc the thought of which humanity .shudders, to set a million of the most debased slaves In tho country free, in a district where they outnumber the whites, was one oftheir pet maasnres, and all who opposed that, most shocking enterprise was denounced by its advocates ns traitor-.. Is it not monstrous to have such a country ns this is cursed by such infernal fauaticisraßut, thanks to the President and the patriotic men of his party, that vile scheme was suddenly strangled,- Had it not been, and the mil lion of slaves referred to set free, the country would be,by this time, not reading of McClellan - late fights near liichmond, Imt we would probably be pondering over the accounts of outrages perpetrated upon both sexes and all conditions, unparalleled in atrocity since horrors begun. The .dread of these, however, had no terrors for your genuine Abolition philanthropist To confer a doubtful benefit upon a million of blacks, it was and is willing to subject to their fury, their lusts and vengeance that number of whites. This and similar schemes we have opposed; we do not think them calculated to reach the point propos ed—the restoration, of the Union. The Gazette may denounce this as treas on, and threaten through some skulking cor respondent, to put us down,but still as long :a it and its correspondent permits us, we shall take the liberty of opposing all such I infamous designs. And, in doing so, we I shall not run counter to the opinions of ! “three-fourths" of this community, but only to that of a small, though busy and. restless, set d esigning demagogues. The Gazette, which the term traitor to every one who differs from it in relation to the prosecution ot the war, or the proceedings of Congress, yesterday published a column sneering at McClellan in which that consistent paper claims the largest liberty of expression. The New i York World the otiierday said sometime.: about the War Department.- and t). setts denounced it as treason- ff such blinded partisans had find- v.-ay the re would be no end to their proscription.. • From tho article in 'l'lvstinn we select the opening pur.igraph: “It seems to be the opinion of a number ol persons, who have lately beeume ex ceedingly res;less, owing to the warm weather, or the fever-crisis ofexeited pnr izaushlp, ol which, consciously or uurim -ctously, they are the vieiiuis, timt no word 't disapproving criticism should annear in our columns in reference to the campanil •>n the lcninsula.

They sent a reconnoitre mg party within three miles of Mumfords ulle yesterday, it is supposed with the in tention to burn bridges and commit other depredations. This is the same party which recently attacked a detachment of the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry at Tomp kinsville. Not over twenty of the Penn sylvanians there were killed. The reports I of great losses there are false. Morgan I has issued a proclamation calling on Ken-1 tuckians to rise. No injury has yet been I done to the Louisville and Nashville Rail-1 road, but cars will not run till Monday next. • I Nashville, July 11.—A dispatch to headquarters says that three companies of m, enns ylvania Cavalry were attacked at Thompkinsville by 2,000 guerrillas un-1 der I‘erguson and all killed or taken pris oners. There is also a band of guerrillas at Glasgow, and the 11th Michigan have been sent there. Louisville advices as per previous dis patches contradict the above.

'rec.-ived here, in discoursing upon Mel-Mian's prr-.vnt posi tion", says: . holier,-- ail Uiat was known in this City yesterday, outside of the several cir cles of Buri-uiicrnry. was that the enemy had taken a strong position, with one of his flanks resting on lie* river about Berk ley* completely nnder covet of his gun boats, and his extreme right reaching to Herring creek, where his position is de fended oy an almost impassable morass-. I was supposed that the enemy would have been aithcKcd yesterday, but there had been no lighting up to the last ac counts. It is not to he supposed that tho enemy has selected these ■ plantations as the scene of h:s last great stand without good reasons. The first and most appa rent of these is, that Westover Landing perhaps the very best on .James River! and streams for miles up and down, being broad and deep, affords both excellent sea room for gunboats and transports; but tm.s is by no means the only advantage of tms position. Besides a good anchorage at the landing tncre are on the \\ est of Berkley immmem able impassable ravines running from near the Charles City road on the North to the .lames river, .making successful attack Irom that quarter next to impossible.— " K . llm q unrler of a mile of where theso io O'! i"'-'Herring Run Creek crosses the Charles City Road and running in a South-easterly direction, skirts on the North and Lust ot the plantations of Berkl v and V, estover and empties into the .Inmc-s river at the extreme Eastern boun uary ol Ibo iaitor. f i Ikmvljolp course of ibis creek is one impassable morass, whilo along its Northern and lihstern hanks ex* tend heights of h‘tliaio;i n long range of hills that overlook the Wesiuver and Berk ley estates offer eligible position for heavy guns. It will seen that, protected on the South by Iho river nml his gunboats, on the west byimpa s sible lavines, and on the north and east by Herring Creek, and the Height? ol f.nicmon, the onerovhs posi tion presents but one pregnable point, the piece of level country northwest of West* over, Irom u tpmrter to u half mile in width, laying between the head of the ra vines and point when? Herring Creek crosses Cnarles C*ty road; hut it is certain that th<* enemy, with his immeusc re sources ot men aud machinery, will in a very brief period, obstruct by art this only natural entrance to Ills stronghold. Al ready b js within range of his gunboats and ol Ins siege guus, planted on the Rn ienton hills. Another day may see it strewn with felled timbers, and brittleing with field batteries. In enumerating the advantages secured to the enemy, Ilia pres ent position, his superior facilities of transportation must not be omitted; whilst our ammunition and stores must be wagon ed a distance of nearly thirty miles," his steamers and transports art; running up to the very doors of his tent. Tor the benefit ot distant readers, we mav hope [iToperly say something of* the character «*f the country to which ?;o suddenly aud uni.-xpertt-my the seat ot war has been .-mired. Ten days ago, when McClellan beleaguered Richmond, with the excep- Lion.-s of about five miles of Chicahominv tow' ground, he occupied the must barren, and at the same time the worst watered and the ino«t unhealthy region of East* crii \ irgima. .Agues, hoop-poles, and V\ nortleberrif.s hare been always the only sure crops of the country.

The country of the lower .lames river is :ho very gardsn spot of Virginia, and no where ones t];c soil better repay the toil tat] skill of the husbandman. 'l he Examiner says to ii 3 own govern ,u..en!,.t. 11 ‘hens has already been enough o< trilling and abuse of the public mind by the suppression or reserve offacts on the part o! the government. If tin; Command ing (.eneral could write a dozen of lines giving the reside of the light at Gaines’’ Mills, why on each succeeding day might we not have had a bulletin of equal length snnply stating the result? It woSld have occupied but a little of time, and would have conferred an inculetmhle benefit upon the wlkde country in com posing the public anxiety. If the first qflieinl display oi’onr success has not been fully sustained by subsequent events, anil tj the public expectations which were then rinsed to such a heighth, are to bo reduced, ive believe that our people can bear t ie disappointment withoutwaitingto hear the facts drip out through the slow ?or confessions of those in authority. It McClellan has affected a eommuuica uon with the river why was not this fact boldly ami sincerely announced instead of rilling.with the public mind by reports of the surrounding of portions of his army ill triangular swamps and in the neighbor hood ot mill ponds and other vague stories intended to break the fall of public expec tation The public is left under the impres sion ot general facts. We know that the ya or ol our troops has so far prevailed, ■ id that the enemy has been pushed from his lines „l investment, of this oily, but "t' )' e . strp, 'S‘ !l of •!>« coherent rein, nant el his army; whether lhat remnant is yet involved bv our lines or has been re inforced lor another grand battle are ques tions which everybody has been askine lor the last week, and whiclr the Govern ment plainly refuses to answer, by wiih holding from the people all information of the battle of Richmond.
