We appeal to our friends in the rural districts to attend the Mass Meeting to be held iti this.eity on Thursday next, to take some action in relation to the recent call for volunteers. The quota for Pennsyl vania will be about 50,000 men. We know yon are engaged in caring for your crops and that in some localities labor is scarce, but there is a country to save, in stitutions to preserve luite as important to them as the people of the cities. A help -ing hand is needed all around—let no mart excuse himself on the ground of private affairs. Nothing should stand in the way of our country's call, everything must yield, else sink submissively to the basest conspiracy ever instigated by treacherous heads or carried on by traitorous hands. Rally then at once and by your presence and money push forward the good work ere it is too late. PRESIDENT LINCOLN. All honor to Abraham Lincoln! He has merited the thanks and applause of every good citizen by his manliness, his firmness, and his devotion to tho Consti tution. Congress, by a very large major• ity ig both houses, passed the confiscation bill. The President refused to sign it. He told Senators and Representatives the - reasons of his objections, and that unless Congress modified the bill to remove these objections, ho would veto the measure. The r factionists and ultraists were indig nant. They would never recede. Mr. Lincoln 'drove to the capitol, occupied the Vice President's room, told the Senators they might do as they pleased, but he I would write his veto message, and forth with commenced to do so. Ultniism was furious; faction shrieked, cursed and swore, but Lincoln said that only "re minded him of an old fellow," dc., and contipued writing his veto message. In the course of a few hours, the crazy poli ticians calmed down; the sands of the ses sion were fast running away. and at last a joint resolution, declaring that the confis cation did not and should not apply as originally intended-, was introduced and passed. This joint resolution the Presi dent signed, holding it to be in point of fact part of the original bill; but for the benefit of Congress, in communicating no tice of his assent, he also communicated a copy of his veto message that he had pre pared for the original bill. The whole was entered on record. All 'honor to the President. Ho faced the radicals', laughed at their malice, ridi- Med their threats and made them submit! The confiscation bill, as modified, is a just measure. It provides punishment for treason and rebellion committed after the passage ofthe act, and is not retrospec tive; and it does not work a forfeiture o real estate beyond the life of the convicted party. As a whole, thus modified, thus stripped of its glaring unconstitutional features, and containing a section providing for the colonization of the freed negroes beyond the limits of the United States. we do not see how any person not having undue and unloyal sympathies with treason and re bellion can object- to it. The measure is is severe one, but the crime is a horrid one. The law, if made effectual, will car ry financial ruin and desolation to many a hearthstone; hut these hearthstones are already stained with the blood of the de fenders of the Union, and their owners are engaged in deadly war upon the coun try. Let those wbo are engaged in rebel lion suffer the consequences. For them all sympathy in pecuniary loss resulting from their own acts is but mawkish sensi bility. The man who braves the law, and takes up arms against its officers, and shoots down its agents, has no claim upon the sympathies of the public. Ile has for feitedily his own act all claim to special protection from the government he has assailed, and if he can be reached by tak ing his property, let it be done promptly, —Moog* Post. • INLA regular currant wine manufacto ry has boon in.operation the present sea son at Lafayette, Ind., and has turned out several thousand gallons of the bever age, which is said to be a first-rate article. l er The probabilities of a draft has had a curious effect upon the age of inany.

THE PEOPLBI9, REPUBLICAN ABOLITION, SNOW -NOTH ING CONVENTION. This conclave of decayed altd!Adapida ted office hunters assembled, at Harris bnrg on Thursday last; land, when in an organized condition, ptesented the most melancholy appearancO ever exhibited by any body of citizens' in the capital of our State since the Buehshot war, when Thaddeus Stevens saved his neck by the display of extraordinary agility through a hack-window• Our readers are aware tha' this convention was under the exclu sive management of honest John Forney. For the' last- nine months that virtuous man has been writing doleful letters from Washington, going to show the necessity of "all good men" uniting to beat what he I termed the sympathisers with Breckinridge in Pennsylvania. Well, after all this pre liminary twaddle and falsehood, the Con vention came off; and, in order to give it a show of no party, the highest places, as is usual in all such cases, were awarded to renegade Democrats. We do not by this mean Democrats who have joined Aaoli tionism because they liked it, but we allude to your "silken, sly insinuating knaves," who never desert any party as long as it is able and willing to feed them, and who risk no new ventures that do nut prom ise to pay. In a word, the embodiment ,and representative of this idea is to he found in John C. Knox, the President ofl the late piebald convention. In 1860: while occupying the responsible and hon• orable position of Attorney General, un der Gov. Packer, lie showed an extraor dinary zeal for Judge Douglas, but when the election day arrived was found to be for Mr. Lincoln; he and Forney and others used the name and fame of our candidate in that contest to *make votes for his principal opponent; and since that period these renegades have been the secret counsellors of our Oppo nents. while in public they proclaimed themselves Douglas Democrats. But their game of duplicity and treachery is at length played out; now they ar,• where we knew they would be, in the open em le-ace of Abolitionism. All the mortification we have experienced, caused by the titlbehood and treachery which these corrupt dema gogues practiced upon the honest Douglas Democracy, is amply offset by the fact of their being at once elevated to the leader ship of our opponent::. If any political party in Pennsylvania can survive such leadership for a single campaign, we shall conclude that popular self government a laznentable litilurc. •Indge Knox, being made Chairman of the Convention, delivered n set speech, which consisted in fulsome adulation of the War Department—to wl ich wc. have no objection—and insidious stab.: at Gen. McClellan. This is the manner in which the "no party Convention — at Harrisburg was opened, which will satisfy any one knowing John C. Knox that that political trimmer has a large axe to grind at the de partment over which Mr. Stanton presides. What frothy flattery of one particular offi cer of the government, of whose adminis tration there is a diversity of opinion. has to do in creating a now " no party move-. ment — may appear strange to some: but it is quite comprehensible to those having a little knowledge of the political strategy of the speaker. Knox never loses in his games of political chicanery; his talent is of the cunning order, and if. in a few months, we hear of his being selected, through the influence of the War. Department, for some snug sinecure, our readers will then ap. preciate the signifie Ince of his late demon stration. But he had better strike while the iron is hot; if he waits until the second Tuesday of October, after his n no party" is beaten, lie will not be able to secure from the government even old clothes in this convention Forney was the prin cipal speaker, and the reader can appreci ate the style and substance of his remarks by a perusal of the following extract, which is merely IL repetition of his "occasional • • slang about Breckinridge Democrats : " The great object of the Democratic party, fellow-citizens, is scarcely to be concealed. I say the Democratic party, because they insist upon calling themselves such. They desire a peace, and in order to effect that peace and to degrade us, they are trying to divide the Northern people. They are for uniting the South and divi ding us. This is their object, and what a peace it will be! Does any man suppose that such a peace would end the war? The first attempt would be to throw Pennsyl vania into the arms of the South, as was Wm. B. Reed's plan. Then there is Fer nando Wood's idea of making New York city a great fl-co city. Then California would secede ; Oregon would secede, and the great West would finally secede, and in this secession do you not suppose that there would be an internal war? Such a war as the world has never seen. Can it be supposed for a moment that a man, looking at the probability of things, does not see them as I do ?" This id the sort, of rambling slander which Forney inflicted upon his hearers, and from it we can estimate the despera tion to which anticipated de - eat at the ap proaching election has reduced him. lie desires unity, (lees he? And expects to produce it, by open slander Of the only par ty which has declared unconditionally for the preservation of the Union and the Constitution. lle expects to crush rebellion, does he, by proclaiming to the Southern rebels that they are aided in their treason by the great Democratic party of Pennsylvania. To what base and monstrous uses has this corrupt dem agogue descended? The future is certain ly dark and cheerless when we find such a wretch put forward as the leader of a great party, who, the members of which (but six years ago) openly charged with , having corrupted the ballot-box in Phila delphia, even to the extent of reversing the decision of a Presidential election. John W. Forney, who never aspired be yond being considered a successful trick ster, is the head and front of a new party containing the virtue and patriotism of Pennsylvania! To this assumption we invite the reflection of the reader. The candidates selected by this assem blage are, we believe personally, highly respectable men ; but as politicians : they I are . of the true Abolition and Forney 4tamp. Mr. Ross, is one of the set who started with Forney in his political duplicity and has followed that reckless renegade in all his infamous proceedings. lie' The Great Eastern is to enter New York harbor on her nest voyage by way of Long Ldand Sound, so that she may carry a largeearo ~.~~~- We sincerely hope Gov t ,Cprtin will not hesitate to assume the iisponsibility of offering bounties to all who will enlist un der the new call. The great 4eptoiie State must not be found in the rear of this great work, she has done nobly, but still greater exertions are necessary. The Legislature will promptly endorse the ac tion of tho Executive, but if not, there are enough private purses to make good his pecuniary obligations. We hope the Governor will •at once establish camps throughout the State, and encourage the formation of regiments, which should have the right to select its own officers. In this way soldiers feel their individuality preserved, by having a voice in the selec. tion of those who are to command them. They are identified with one another as a complete body and not merged into many organizations. We are not, however, par ticular about the mode, so that men are raised, and at once. Allegheny county is good for two regiments, and they can be put in the field in less than thirty days i the proper parties take hold of the matter. HON. JOHN L. DAWSON. On Saturday last, the Democratio con ferees from Fayette, Westmoreland and Indiana counties met in Greensburg to nominate a candidate for Congress, and after an animated, though good natured contest, nominated John L. Dawson of the first named county. The selection of this . gentleman is an admirable one; he woul d be of great service in Congress, and the Democratic and conservative men of his district ought to see that he is elected by a rousing majority. Confiscation Bill. This bill, as modified and altered, is a nullity, and leaves the power where it originally belonged, in the hands of the President, who, in virtue of his constitu tional office of Commander-in-Chief, had a right to do the very thing that Congress pretends now to confer upon him— the right to confiscate the chattels of reb els in arms. The bill does not compel the President to (13 anything, but leaves it in his discretion to issue his proclamation of confiscatioa or not. That power he had before. Nor does the triumph rest here. The unconstitutional parts of the bill are stricken out by the suicidal hand of the crestfallen radical faction. Like the scorpion girt with flame, they saw their coining fate, and they anticipated it by an act of felo de se. The bill, as now passed. does not affect the rights of the heirs of traitors. Heal estate cannot be forfeited beyond the lifetime of the guilty individ ual. Moreover, it is not retrospective in its action. Ex post facto laws and bills of attainder are admitted to be null and void. It only deals with the future—it has no influence on the past. As it now stands it is a legitimate, constitutional bill, and its worst severity is mitigated by the fact that it gives the President a discretion to I cordon.—Nets fork Herald.

EDITOR:—Since my last we have penetrated farther into the "sacred soil oft the Old Dominion." We left Strasburg on the 6th for. some supposed, Richmo nd, others t bought to Gordonsville. The first day found us at Middleton, where General Sigel was stationed with his force, and here drew five days' rations. The second day's march found us near Front Royal, writhing under a broiling hot sun. The march from Front Royal to our third day's camp was the hottest day that we have ye t experienced. Strong men gave away un der the pressure of the het sun—some few were sun - struck. The fourth day we marched into Linaythe, the capitol of Page county, and as we went in drove the rebel cavalry out. We camped in an orchard, where apples, cherries- and berries were found in abundance. The boys soon put an end to the existence of all fruit. Some few Union people are to be found in the ' country, but none but a close observer , could notice any difference between them and the rebel citizens. The changing so often of the armies in the valley warns t hem that it is best to show no signs of joy or displeasure at the advent of either ar my. In this county only twenty-seven rotes were cast for the disunion of the Mates. On the 10th we crossed the Blue Ridge, and midnight found us in Eastern Virginia, seventeen miles northwest of some grand move. Row long we will lie rat this place of course none of us are able to say. but it is the opinion of some that as soon as we get our army fairly organized here we will pnsh on to Gordonsville, !and there help in the reduction of Rich , mond. The boys are in excellent spirits ! and anxious to move on and take a prominent part in the great battle. Our brigade has the advance of the whole army thus far, and I guess will keep it, as our General (Milroy) is a man for pushing ahead, and ahead he'll be, or there is some great rea son f r keeping him back. At Luray we turned our tents over, and we are now sleeping and living under one common tent, the blue canopy of heaven. We have become so well used to it that to sleep the open air is a matter of very little importance. In a few days we will get what is called the "field tent," three men carrying each a piece, which when uni ted form a tent large enough for three to live under comfortably. The weather here is exceedingly hot during the day and cool at nights, attended with heavy dew. Since we have crossed the Blue Ridge we have had ample opportunity to see the manner of living among the P. P. V.'s, and the condition of the slaves. The peo ple are fabulously rich here. I saw one corn-field, 300 acres in size, with the best looking corn for the season that I ever saw. It is quite common to see fields of wheat in shock of 60 and 100 acres, and the very best wheat at that. The poor est wheat I have seen will average twenty bushels to the acre. One reason of the richness and plentitude yet is that our ar my was the first that ever went though this part of country. You may go through the woods here at any time and not be afraid of being shot by guerrillas, whereas in Western Virginia you coul d scarcely leave the camp without being fired upon by guerrillas; and altho' every family has a son or two in the rebel army, still the people are more loyal here than in Western I irginia. Ask a citizen here what he thinks of the war, &c., he will shake his head mournfully, tell yon it is a bad state of affairs, and if you walla ' ne on, be will tell you he is willing to live under Lincoln, but that he is a "States' !Vita Man." They are too honorable to take a part in guerrnila warfare and say that they would not allow it if were possible to prevent it. They are kind to the Union gobbets, and the consequence is thatthe soldier! respect 1 them for it and will not harm their .prop. en fie slaves are the most curious part of the property in the Ems. Go op a Plantation and the first thins that Jour' itiill eyes trial*. aetnitif cabins for the slaves to life • lfraa will see them of all ages and colors. Find ing that they were inclined to be talkative I asked them about affairs, &c., and what they thought of the Yankees. They said that the rebel readers had told them. the yon , hid horns like a' *,o and that When the Yan keescame in they would tale them and send them to the South and to Liberia. tasked one of them if she would like to be free. "No ear, massa, me no want be free, you send roe to de Souf; me want to stay wid massa." A better contented, lively, well-to-do looking set I never have seen before. Their only ambition is seeing how much mischief' they. can get into. Slavery can be seen here in all its phrases and it is a very good place to cure an Abolitionist. A person unprejudiced in either way about slavery, if he comes here, after seeing the condition of free negroes iu all its phases, and then comes through Virginia and sees the institution, will say that a negro is far better. conditioned as a slave. They are contented and happy and what more is needed? It is easy enough for a man to be in the free States and favor the aboli tion of slavery, when perhaps he never saw one of the African race in bondage. The news from Richmond for the last few days has raised quite a commotion in camp. Good news would be thb order for cheers, while news of retreating would cause the boys to wish they Could take a hand in it and help McClellan in his un prepared-for battle. 1 think though, now. that the next fight at Richmond will be far more favorable to us than the last. The coil of the anaconda is gradually but steadily enfolding the Richmond army in its terrible grasp. 1 might tell you a great deal, but a great deal of news is "contra batid." Sufficient to say we are strong enough to be perfectly safe from any rebel attack. A person getting on a high point can see tents scattered in every direction as far as the eye can reach. The mail matter conies to us_very regu • larly now, what little is sent to us, and friends will please understand that papers sent to us are never thrown away without being read, and our mail will always come to us if it is directed "Company ( ,) 2nd Regiment Va. Volunteers, Gen. Milroy's Brigade." It is not necessary to have the name of a camp or town attached, but merely the regiment and Brigade. I will close by assuringyou that the sanitary con dition of the five Pennsylvania companies is very good, that they are in good spirits and eager for fight.

A knowledge of their contents had quickly passed from officers to men, and all were exultant in view of the policy to.be pursued.

Asian:vox, July 20.—1 t is known that tl • President has recently visited Lieut. Scott, and subsequentlMc- Clellan and the army of the Po y tomac, and now has the benefit of their experience, d that ot_ Germ Pope, Mitchell, and otheedistingnished military officers. The expected presence here of Major General Halle& becomes important in this con nection, and it is the current belief that he will not take the field, but will be en trusted with important duties in this city. In consideration of the corps now com prising the army of Virginia, and other ascertained arrangements, warrant the conclusion that measures are in course of consummation to everywhere secure unity of action, or in other words, a specific plan of operations, the better to insure success, and to prevent all conflict of juris diction and jealousies whatsoever. The recently published orders of Gen. Pope are highly popular with military men as well as civilians, and their execution will remove much complaint on the part of the soldiers.
