CONGRESS ADJOURNED. There; should be a general rejoicing throughout the loyal States that Congress has at length adjourned. It was, unques tionably, 1 the most reckless, fanatic, venal, and corrupt assemblage that erer met to legislate for the great American people. Our only hope is that we may never lie called upon to look upon its like again. Among other interesting allusions to the last days of the session, the Now York Times' correspondent writes as follows : I ‘Extremes met in Congress to day,in op position to the President’s modili"cation3 of the Confiscation bill. Radical Repub licans, like Thaddeus Stevens and Ring ham, opposed the modifications, as taking away the life and virtue of the bill, while the unreasonable Conservatives opposed them, in order to procure a veto of the bilLas passed, and defeat all confiscation. The talk is general in Washington to-night that the President has now fairly broken loose from both factions—the Abolitionists and Pro-Slaveryites—and should keep them all aloof from his counsels in future. “Senator Chandler’s speech to-day is regarded as an attack on the Administra tion. Not one of his garbled and cx parte statements but has been pushed on Presi dent Lincoln’s attention day after day for months, to induce him to supersede Gen. McClellan. The President, knowing all the-facts better than Chandler, has refus ed, still refuses to join the crusade against McClellan, but calls on the coun try for troops to reinforce him. Thereup on, Chandler pronounces a bitter, wild and unsparing speech, calculated to produce widespread disaffection to the Government among the people, and to put an end to all enlistments.” And the Times correspondent might have added that in this villainous crusade against McClellan, Chandler is aided by all the genuine Abolitionist in the country, as represented by the thundering Tribune ofNew York, and the sneezing Gazette of Pittsburgh. If the President would cut loose from these wolfish radicals and throw himßelf upon the masses of all parties for advice and assistance to ena ble him to crush the rebels, our trouble would soon he over. If Jeff. Davis and his set of Southern traitors, and Wade and Stephens and the other agitators alluded to by the Times correspondent were a where Beauregard expected to be on a certain occasion, if he didn’t win at Shiloh our once happy country would soon have a retain of iher departed peace, content ment and repose. And it is likely to come to this, and that speedily. The President trill be compelled to inteipose his opposi- tion to the radicals of his party, or the suppression of treason will be postponed indefinitely. —The savage schemes of such men as Wade and Stevens (which the President resisted,) are only calculated to crush out all Union feeling in the South- ern and border States, and make the reb els more united, defiant and hopeful than before. This the Union men, like Gov. Johnson and Joseph Holt, have impressed upon the country over and over again, but without producing the slightest effect upon the radicals alluded to. These men have been thwarted by the President, and for that he may expect to encounter their in- creased oppoaitipn. THE GA2ETTE. We have been for a week pursuing this unfortunate old thing through a perfect labyrinth of inconsistencies, falsehoods and contradictions: but no sooner do we detect and expose one than it resorts to another. It now denies that, it ever de clared in favor of the "natural and polit ical " equality of the negro. If the editor will look back at its files, he will see that it tlid so declare, and stuck to it. too, until the J'osl compelled it to abandon that shocking position. In backing down the (,incite said that it was not in favor of the " political equality * ol the negro just now, which meant just, nothing at ail. Our neighbor seeks to dodge a tire of ours into the abolition camp, by again confounding abolitionists ot' its own stripe with Republicans who are fighting this war for the restoration of the Union. We have already given our views upon these two distinct classes. The one is hand in hand with the Democracy for the restoration of “the Union as it was," while the other remains at home, concoct ing villainous schemes to prevent that consummation. We trust that our addle pated coteinporary will not compel us to make this explanation so frequently'.—- There are, ot course, large numbers of Republicans in the army who went into it to tight for the vindication of the govern ment; but we have the word of General Rousseau, of Kentucky, that in Halleck’s entire army of one hundred thousand, "there is not one Abolitionist.” An Abolitionist is an individual who is in favor of the abolition of slavery regardle PS of consequences: for Instance, the Gazette. yesterday, denying its being in favor of the political equality of the blacks, acknowl edges that it is for abolition. It savs: "We have never favored raising the blacks to political equality, never asked for it, do not desire it. We have asked for them their natural rights—the rights to their own labo:,“ Now. according n. the i.azittes latest dodge, and (tenoral ifonsroau's speech, there is not in llalleek s immense army "one abolitionist:” because the General told us that the officers ami soldiei-3 pro tested over and over again that they had no purpose of interfering with tie- slaves of tho Southern people. If this be true in Halleek's at my, the same may be said of the rest of the service, and we again logi cally conclude that there are no abolition ists ol any rnnsequenee of the Gazette stripe to be teund in the great Northern army. English Views on tho American Question. i-’rani the London Tiiue-, duly Happily, the people ofthis country, with tile exception ol an insignificant minority*, have long fonped their opinion ot' I lie war. They can see that if tin-South is to be.-üb jugnted and held by f, IR -,> arms, this consummation must be preceded by the most savage and t dent less contest ill the history of mankind, and followed by a political condition to which even war might be considered pretnable. To impress this oil the minds of the Northern people has been the object of the English press Irom the beginning, and tin- unanimity of English opinion may at length pro duce some eti'ect. We have always been right, and the North has always been wrong in so many tilings that our opinion is, at any rate, entitled to consideration. W e would, then, once more raise our voice against tho indefinite prosecution of this horrible war. While the scorching sun is filling tho camps with fever and cholera, while the youth and strength „f ;1,,- conn try are being hurried to the common fron tier in preparation for a new feast of blood in the autumn, while the North is burden ing itsell witli a debt concerning which even its rulers fear to speak plainly, anil while the great staples of the South are being given to the tlamcs, we would ask the Federal?, with whom the whole matter rests, where is their conscience, where is their common hu manity, or their boasted worldly prudence? They are in arms to enforce ’on men of their own blood submission to a rule which the latter detest. Although four months after secession the most eminent men among them, including the late President and the present Secretary of State, declar ed that the subjugation of one part of the Fnion by another was a scandal not lo be thought of, and ihe separation, though deplorable, could never be opposed by arms, yet the North now talks ot conquest and confiscation, and military colonics witli all the readiness of an Austrian com- mandant.' What becomes of tin* famous Declaration of Independence.' What be comes of the theory that government lie- rives its powers from the consent of the governed, if the population of seven or eight great States, which, rich and poor, bond and free, white and black, are prov ed by events to lie all of one mind, arc now- lo lie invaded, conquered and kept down by a standing army in the name of republican freedom These things must, at. last become apparent, to the American people. _ They are not so unlike the rest ot mankind, so. unlike their former selves, as to-dispute what is clear to the wholu world. That the South, if she wishes to go, shonld be allowed to depart peaceably is the only policy which is agreeable to justice and wisdom. Unless the North can learn to see this, it must bring evils untold on itself, on us, and on every Euro pean people. English Advice for an Armistice and Settlement. i From the London Times, -Inly f,.| Altogether, the position of the two hos- tile communities is one which should in duce every man of good sense and kindly feelings at the North to reconsider his opinions. A n armistice, and then a settle ment of this deadly quarrel by a peaceful separation, is Ihe only solution of the dif ficulty which presents itself to the minds of English statesmen, and, we may add, m xlatcxmcH of other countries. In this matter we may say, without hesita tion, that all Europe is unanimous.— At the time of the first rupture, when se cession and the depths of the feelings that inspired it were little understood, there was in this country a large party, and in France and Germany a still larger party, which was indignant against the Southern leaders and cheered on the North to what was considered the easy overthrow of a po litical conspiracy that had usurped the gov ernment of a deluded and bewildered peo ' pie. But we would ask any one conver sant with English society whether those \partizans of the mar have not become gradually fewer and fewer, until they are now all but extinct. Whatever may be the sympathies of any person, however much 'he may condemn slavery or the prin ciple of secession, or the means by which certain members of Mr. Buchanan’s Cabi net conspired for its success, yet he feels that all that is past and gone, and that the question is now whether a war of extermi nation. shall be earned on by one com munity against another.. This journal, which has throughout believed and acted bn thebeliefthat animosities and opposing interests deeperthanthe'mere questions have sundered the two lections of the lit - public, may now assert that its views have received the tardy sanction even of the staunehest opponents of slavery and the most consistent well wishers of the Amer ican Republic. If the Americans de sire to know what Europe thinks of the war, let them ask, not British aristo crats or continental legitimists and nltra montanes, but that section of European society which has during years upheld their principles ot policy. Let them take the opinions of the liberal party either in England or France as to the righteousness nnd the prudence of carrying on this war, and we shall be perfectly, content if they abide by the verdict. If the Americans had been wise enough to let the South go freely at the first, it is quite possible that by this time it would have been seeking re admittance, for the Union party was then a reality, and not a fiction, and a reaction against the policy oi' the secessionist lead ers might have taken place. Although it is too late to hope for such a reconcilia tion, yet the North may even now, by a dignified concession, avoid the terrible sacrifice and the intensity of hatred which a persistence in the war will necessarily produce." Army Correspondence. C.VMI* SEAR HaUUI-SO.n’s La.xmnu, Saturday, July 12th, 1862. Gear Post: —l send you my first com* raunication, which although a poor one, may serve to enlighten some of our read* era in regard to the state of things in general, and this regiment in particular.; In this far-off and uncivilized portion of our country startling events have trans* pi red. According to the New York press we have been whipped, defeated, cut to pieces, and even annihilated, hut it you will accept the testimony of one u low in authority/' none of these things have oc curred, and instead of defeat or annihila tion, the array of the Potomac has whip ped the enemy in five different battles, and is now in better condition than at any time since it left the preeinctsof Washing ton and entered upon the arduous work of clearing this portion of our country of the cloven-hoofed gentlemen who have been raising such a row all over the country. We were forced hack by superior num bers about fifteen miles, where we have taken u position, in which we can resist all the assaults of the enemy, no matter what his numbers are. This move is the most brilliant of the war. After being forced by the people and those high in authority into a position he would never have taken by his own choice, without sufficient troops to hold that posi tion, the enemy have taken advantage of Gen. McClellan, suddenly massed thfeir whole forces and dashed them against his army, weakened by disease and sickness, and he extricates us by a difficult military movement, whipping them in six differ ent battles, but the want of men forced him back, and we are as far from the end as ever, although we have been whipping them for the last year. The Government has began to see into what a predicament they have got the “Grand Army of the Potomac" and arc now sending in men, not in the required ! quantity, but by handbills, which do no good at all. The roads are almost impassable, de- laying army movements nnd also proven, ini' the enemy from engaging in their usual work of shelling our advanced ramps. We are getting just what we required, a good long rest, lor we were on our feet about ten days, lighting six days out of the ten. ami engaged in some work or other all tin? night. We have all along met the advances of the enemy by halfway meas ures, when we ought to have thrown the nation's strength against them, am! unless the North takes a deeper interest in the contest and meets the enemy on their own ground we will never succeed. Let us me “all the means that God and nature have placed in our hands*' to suppress this foul rebellion: but so long as the gov ernment rejects one of the strongest means to subdue the' traitors, so long do they lengthen the war. Weaken the enemy by using the power he depends on. !'se the WaeA*4r, uot as soldiers, for they will not tight, but as laborers, and save our men from the fatigue of trench dig ging, road making and swamp drainage. Our regiment has entirely recovered from the “terrible six days,” and is again ready to enter the field. We lost our Major, of whom too much good cannot bespoken. He was every inch a soldier, and fell in the position assigned him, while leading ami cheering on the men. He lies in a large open field, with a monu ment of God’s handiwork at his head, a large oak, standing as asentinel cverasol dier’s grave. It would be but mockery for me to attempt consolation to his widow; her loss is inestimable, as those who have served so long with him well know. Lieut. Mooney, Ist Lieut, of Company K, also fell mortally wounded, a shell striking him above the knee and tearing both legs off. He was beloved by his brother offi cers and whs looked upon by the men asa soldier and u man worthy of the position he occupied. He died as a soldier, in the discharge of his duty. Every man in the regiment, has done the duty required of him, and the friends of those who fell may be proud to say they belonged to the “Army of the Potomac/’ The old Thirteenth has acquired an en viable name nmong the regiments of this army and we all teel proud of it, and our friends at home may rest assured that we i will never do anything that will detract aught from our good name. Pennsylva- . nia may be proud of her men, for in no instance have they been known to swerve from the path'of duty, no matter how dan gerous or arduous the work. “Viator," of the Gazette, expresses many bold opinions on the condition of the army, for one who was not five hun dred yards trom the river, and who, on the first discharge of a rebel gun, double quicked back to the steamers and took the first opportunity of departing for a point of greater safety, thereby deserting his post when he was most needed. Vesterday may be classed among the unlucky days of the soldiers. It rained all day, converting our camp into a mud hole, and obliging us to lay cooped up in our little shanties, five feet by live, until we got so crooked that it will be impossi ble lor ns to assume the position of a sol dier for dayß to come. There is a great scarcity of good water, and yesterday’s rain made it more so, for this morning our springs are full of mud and water, the mud predominating. What is your opinion, Mr. Kditor, of foreign intervention ? I)o you' not .think it would be disastrous to the Southern cause? 1 think it would show the Gov ernment we have been playing too long, and the whole energy, strength and deter mination of the North would be thrown into the balance. The war wonld then be carried on upon a scale suitable to the emergency of the case. All is quiet along the front. I think the rebels have had too much Yankee lead and steel to try another attack. Yours truly, Oli» Thirteenth Parson Brownlow and bia Book. It was stated that the sales of Parson Brownlow’s book on the rebellion in East Tennessee already exceed 100,000 of which 76,000 were ordered in three weeks. In addition to the large sum giren to the Par son for his publisher, O. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, he receives a liberal percent age on the sales. The Parson has written a letter in which he says: “lam interest ed in the circulation of the work, andl am benefitted by every copy sold. * * * I need all tub I can realize from the work, for the rebels have possession of all my ef fects, save my wife and sevea children.”— With his share of the proceeds of the work, the Parson expects to return te Knoxville : and re-establish his paper. fit. J?rattcis* College, Loretto. We publish below a communication de scribing the exhibition at St. Francis’ College, Loretto, on the 26tli of June. Our absence has delayed its publica tion until now: Mr. Editor: Knowing your zeal for the snccete of educational institutions, I take the liberty of asking for this commu nication a place in your columns, as its object is to call the attention of your readers to a “literary exhibition* 7 given by the students of St. Francis 7 College, Loretto, Cambria county, on the 26th inst. This establishment is conducted by the Franciscan Brothers, a community whose labors amongst the youth of our diocese are too widely’ known and too deeply ap preciated to require any eulogium, but that which lives amongst us, viz: their happy effects. Very ample evidence of these was given, on the occasion of which I write; not one amongst that large and intelligent audience, assembled to do honor to the young gentlemen could have failed to acknowledge the worth of those who had so ably instructed them. The exercises commenced at half past 8 a. M. They consisted of original ora tions, plays, recitations and songs, pleas antly' separated by music, which was per formed with great taste and effect by the members of the string band. The ora tions were many, and creditable to the authors : amongst them one on Idleness, by a young man from Washington, was admirably written and won a great deal of praise from critics. Another by a gentle man from New York, abounding with golden ideas on the Providence of God, was certainly impressive in the extreme; his manner of delivery was worthy' of his beautiful composition, and that is givir" to it very high degree of prnise. The dramatic performances were entertaining and well sustained; while all deserve credit for their efforts in this deparLmc-ut, the gentleman who euacted the character of the “Yankee Peddler,” in the farce of ■that world-renowned personage, was per fect in its way and took the audience by stonn. The vast crowd literally “shook with laughter.” Still the inimitable ped dler proceeded on the, by no moans, “even” tenor of his way ami won uproar ious plaudits, retiring amidst cheers, inter mingled with regrets that he had retired at all. The recitations, both in prose and poetry, were good. That of “The Ma niac ” and another, in the same .-lvie. were exquisitely reudered bv a gentleman from New York. Ido not say too much in asserting that no description* could give an idea of the power and beauty of this performance, characterised alike by artis tic finish nud natural feeling, a combina tion rare .as charming to an audience lis tening to it. on .saw no “mimic stage** nor. disguised actor: you lived for the time in the chained madman's call and drank in his touching cries of agony, or trembled at his terrible fren/v. It was vivid, wonderful, magnificent : no one who listened can ever forget it. But I am trespassing upon vour valuable space by going too much into detail: the truth is there was so much of excellence* to notice that if I were to give iu all the tribute of admiration they desenv, 1 should make my .letter so long‘that its fate would would consist ot the words, “respectfully declined.” I will therefim* pass over the rest ot the performances, a- 1 well as one uot mentioned in the programme, but nevertheless, “too good to be los!,”vi/ : the bountiful repast provide.l by the good Brothers fi»r their gueats. And before closing I will merely mention a scene that indeed deserves more than the passing notice which is at! 1 can give to i? here. Previous to the delivering ..f tin- Vale dictory the curtain fell, ami to the .sur prise ol all, the Kevert-ml clergymen. *»f whom there were st great many present, left the hall. In a J.-w moments, how ever, it rose, and do,dosed to tin- lookers on a most imposing tableaux, arranged in that short time bv the taste of a Bevereml gentleman, who deserves ..nr thanks for the treat afforded I>y it. Int he foreground Were the priests, most conspicuous among.-t them the venerable Father Hayden, of Bedford. To the right .-good the orator, who was to bid farewell to his Alma Mater, ami grouped in the back-ground were the students ot the College, i t formed a grand picture, seeming like a living nroof of the power ol religion, and though mere!\ in tended as an assemblage of the students for the purpose of* receiving their premi ums in the presence of the Keven-ud gen tlemen who had honored the occasion In coming there, ii drew pleased attention in the very different manner l speak of. The premiums were distributed by the Uev. rather Hayden, assisted by* tin* Kev. Pastor of* Loretto.

Hereafter as far as practicable the troops of this command will subsist upon the conntry in which their operations are car ried on. In all cases supplies for this purpose will be taken by the officers to whose Department they properly belong under the orders of commanding officer of the troops for whose use they are in tended. Vouchers will be given to the owners, stating on their face that they will be payable at the conclusion of the. war, upon sufficient testimony being fur nished that sneh owners have been loyal citizens of the United States since the date of the vouchers. Wherever it is known that supplies can be furnished in any dis trict of the country where the troops are to operate, the use of trains for carrying subsistence will he dispensed with as far as possible.. By Command of Major General Pope. Geo. D. Buggies, Col. A. A. G. and Chief of Stall' Harriscuko, July 18. —Much regret is expressed here that the government, has refused to send as far as practicable, into the various States the sick and wounded, in which they were enlisted: One of the State hospitals at this place lias been closed by order of the Medical Depart ment of the United States, so limiting the number that accommodation had been made for by the State authorities. This i 9 hut one of the difficulties encountered bv the patriotic and benevolent efforts of States to better the condition of their soldiers. Great anxiety is felt by relatives and friends of the sick and wounded sol diers now here and constantly arriving, on account of the restrictive orders and disap pointment is the order of the day. Grave fears are expressed that this action will re tard enlistments nnder.the new law. The prospects for enlistments for three years throughout the State so far as heard from is favorable, but it is believed that the numbers will be largely increased if the term of service is made one year,as indica ted by the hill just passed by Congress. We learn that an order will soon be issued for the establishment of camps in various parts of the State, and that in all cases where it is possible, the volunteers will be formed into regiments in the counties and districts where they reside. We are also inlormed that the Governor has in contem plation the calling of an extra session of the Legislature, upon which will be strong ly urged the passage of an act granting, in addition to that now offered by the Na tional Government, bounties to men en hstmg for regiments now in the field. an ,, t ' lose t 0 be raised under the late call for JuC.OOO. No authority now exists tor the expenditure of money in this way; but it the Governor finds he is justified in the opinion of the people in convening the Legislature to fill our regiments and quota, winch will require fifty thousand addition . men. he will, it is said, offer the bounty in advance of their action, and rely upon the support of the representatives of the people, who heretofore have always acted with great unanimity upon measures rela ting to the support of the government and wtltare of our troops. Reports from our state agents and sanitary Committees at Frederick, Md., Baltimore, New York, W ashington, Fortress Monroe, the army ol the I otoroac and the Southwest are ex tremely favorable, and indicates that the efforts ol our State authorities and benev olent people are not unavailing, and that the efforts ot our ladies particularly, throughout the State, are meeting with a gratitude from our soldiers that will,when known, amply repay them for time, ex pense and trouble incurred in their behalf, lliese etl'orts though now great, require to be kept up and renewed,in orderthat every comfort consistent with the circumstances ot their condition may be furnished them.

Wasuinoton, July 18.—We feel at lib erty to state that yesterday a portion of the army of Gen. Pope entered the im portant town of Gordonsville, Va., unop posed, and duly destroyed the railroad paraphernalia at that point—the junction of the Orange & Alexandria and Virginia Central Railroads. Three-fontths of the troops, munitions, and supplies of every description, for the rebel army at Rich mond, of necessity passed through Gor donsville by rail. The blew is, therefore, a most important one—more especially, as it is the first of a series, which, we trust, will do more to cripple the efficiency of the rebel army of Richmoud than anght that has yet occurred. Washington, Richmond Enquirer of July 15th appears alarmed at the order of our War Department concen trating the forces of McDowell, Fremont and Banks under Gen. Pope, and reminds its readers in that quarter, that be is no toriously one of the most dangerous Union commanders, an officer of great activity and daring, and is very apt to do unex ampled things. It adds that the foray into Orange county nnd the destruction of the railroad bridges oyer the Rapidan, by the enemy, is a challenge on the part of Gen. Pope, that our generals have now to take up. The Knquirer, commenting upon the threatening aspect of McClellan's present operations, says: “We must again dig! dig! dig! or McClellan will dig into Rich mond. The spade can only be conqnered with the spade, and the 9hovel will always defeat them. Of President Lincoln’s recent visit to the Army of the Potomac, the Enquirer says: “A dirty trio, Lincoln, Stanton and AY infield Seott, passed by Old Point on Thursday last,eti route for McClellan’s head-qnarters at or near Berkley. A gentleman who saw the steamer which con veyed this dirty trio of Yankee negro stealers, says there was a band of music on board and many flags and streamers fluttering gaily to the breeze.” Washington, July 17.—The following correspondence explains itsell: ~ New Y ork, July Ist, 1802: To Hon.
