THE MEETING TO-DAY Let every citizen and sojourner who may read these lines, remember the meet ing this afternoon. It will he good to be there. The united enthusiasm of the thousands assembled will reinvigorate and encourage us in supporting our goy ernment against armed treason. Let each remember that his suppoi't of the govern ment-in this awful crisis is not only a duty he owes to . that government, hut to himse and his posterity. We are all in owners of this magnificent inheritance Free Government, and we are hound to transmit it to those who folloir us as nire and inviolate as we received it from its founders.

This was considered by Dan's friends here one of the most ex traordinary exhibitions of popular liberal ity ever manifested by an intelligent peo ple. His sudden elevation to legislative dignity spread like a hurricane throughout Western Pennsylvania; and to that act is to be attributed the large migration from this section to lowa, which immediately followed. Every young man amongst u 5, who knew Dan, saw, in prospective, legis lativ3 and judicial honors. lowa was re garded as the land of promise: for, it' her citizens would elevate Dan Miller to her Legislature, after a few months' acquaint ance, what was it not possible the . same I discriininating people would do for oth ers? And they were right, too. Many of our young Pennsylvanians found fame and fortune in lowa. But the recent advance ment of Daniel F. Miller to the Supreme Bench of the United States, is one of the most unlooked-for events we remember of in all our judicial and chequered experi ence. Were it not so serious a matter, we should be induced to attribute it to "Old Abe's" propensity for practice' jokes The elevation of Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency has put the entire West upon stilts. Old New England, with its logic and learning, has to stand back, or be jos tled in its course by the rough and tumble sons of the prairie and the pine. Wash ington is said to have many of these double jointed sons of the West sojourning in pleas ant situations abou t the various departments and the look of independence, or rather defiance and contempt,they bestow upon a well dressed Eastern dandy, is the sublim ity of facile expression. Carriages and hacks for riding from the Capitol to the White House they despise, for their pow _ ers of locomotion enables them to outspeed that of the spanned quadrupeds about Washington. They are full of energy and good health; and they exhibit a swagger ing independence which at once strikes the stranger with respect for their muscle if not their manners.

There was no occasion for the editor to waste so much valuable time and extraordinary talent in forming creation that he was and is in fa vor of the "natural and political equality" of his own race. While manifesting so much sympathy for the African, it would be strange indeed if the Gazette was no t for the .-quality of the Caucasian.

Let us not be misunderstood. 11',, ineati the whole set of strife-brewers, both con servative and radical. We make no differ ence between them. Their spirit is the same, their bane is the saute. Equally and alike they are a pest and an abomination. Is it said that the strife is not merely wanton ? ' that there are great principles in the case ? Granted. Brit can that excuse their systematic and infernal distillation of hate? Is that a reason why Union lien of different modes of thinking should be stim ulated to treat each other as false-hearted and no better than traitors? There is but one vital principle: and that is, that the government must and shall be preserved. All other objects are as nothing in compar ison. The man, we care not whether be calls himself conservative or radical, whether his name he Wickliffe or Sumner, who is honestly in favor of maintaining the government and putting down the re bellion. deserves respect for his patriotism, and all attempts to place him under the ban, and class him with traitors, is an out rage. The great question is, not what the man thinks about this or that means, but —upon what side is lid Because he be lieves in a policy that shall save slavery as much as possible, or because he believes in a policy that shall harm slavery as much as possible, is no reason why he should be stigmatized as false and traitorous. These are questions upon which men may legiti mately and patriotically differ. They are questions which it may be both proper and useful to discuss, if the discussion be in the right spirit. But the man who makes them the occasion of wholesale denuncia tion of the loyal brothers who differ with him is playing but a sorry part. Whether he thinks of it or not, he is lending him self to the enemy. He is contributing what he can to bring about that very dint fled Korth the expectation of which was one of the original incentives to secession, and which, even now, if it could he real ized, would make the triumph of secession .a certainty. A vigorous prosecution of the war is not possible without a united, compacted, firm-set public sentiment. Distrust and discord are pre-eminently cal cnlitai.os destrol that sentiment. It is, therefore, traitorous work to alienate loyal men &tot each other..

In: ourown- witie-lesstbe terms a . Ilese are mere !natter This is the nn We would call upon the people to re double their exertions to supply our army with men, in order that Richmond may be defended both here and at Washington.— Many regiments and brigades have Seen in the recent battles, greatly reduced, and their ranks require new recruits. There are many, very many men and of f icers ab sent from their commands, who should immediately return to their posts—thou sands have straggled away who should be arrested and returned. Every man is required. by Gen. Lee,and the country demands that every . man should be at his post. The people deilre to see an advance made xpon.itfashingion —the government darkest* make theta& INIMEM conservative and radical are now used the better: They can now serve no practical purpose. The policy of the government has at last taken definite shape. Congress has resolved upon a course of,.netion to be pursued toward slavery. The President has given it his full sanction, and means to carry it Out consistently and firmly. It is not at all probable that any further agi tation of the subject among the 'people will divert that policy one hair's breadth, either in one direction or the other. Noth ing, then, but an absolutely factiims SPirit can find any &tied ill keeping up the dis cussion at all—intinitely less in continuing the opprobrious language. The business of all loyal men is to acquiesce in the de cision that has been made, and to join heart and hand in helping the government to push forward the war with the utmost vigor and eflici _mcy. It is now the time not for talk, but for action. Three hundred thou sand men are to be put into the field as quickly as possible. There is not a loyal man but who will be welcome there, he he conservative or radical, or be sent by con servative or radical. 'l'here is room for ail loyal stimulants to work, for all loyal motives to operate. So that they be 1,,y a l h o shall dare impeach them ? What true man can help bidding them God A peed ? :s well that we should keep our vari ous opinions upon hliwery in abeyance for a while. For the present the programme is fixed. What may be the situation six months hence, no matt can foresee. We trust by that time the rebellion will be brought under. But we cannot know History is full of the unforeseen may yet occur which will compel a new programme. In seasons of great danger circumstances govern in spite of our selves. Few are the men who would deal with slavery now just as they would have done a year ago. The course of events has brought about a change in the bearings of the institution, which everbody acknowledges! It is idle at this time to attempt to settle the future of slavery. That future is subject to events utterly beyond our present range of vision. hir business is to accept what. is already established, and, leaving opinion precisely i lmre, to address ourselves with single put-- root to straightforward action. Our pres ent concern is not•political thought at, all; it is war, tremendous and terrible, such as Providence has seldom alloted to man. This war is enough to tax every faculty of our nature. Upon its success hang price less destinies. Let us all, conservatives and radicals, forget past differences, close tip our ranks, and strike borne upon the r•ontnon enemy. —New Porl,• Wor/d.

The Lynchburg Republi.-an of yesterday gives some particulars of the Yankee raid in Orange. It. says: "A Yankee force, stated to number eleven regiments of in fantry and one of cavalry, with ten pieces of artillery, is reported to have taken pos sessbm of t /range Court Ilouse on Sunday, though we have doubts aJmut its correct imss, as a person who left that place at 7 o'clock in the evening of that day says there was no enemy then in sight. They burned the bridge across the Rapidan river, five miles from the Court Rouse, which would appear to be conclusive that they do not design a further advance. There were idle reports yesterday that they had taken possession of llordonsville, but up to :I o'clock last night telegraphic communication was open with that place. There was a big scare and a general stam pede front Gordonsville on Sunday, the trains leaving there being literally loaded down with old and young, male and fe male, fleeing front the Yankees, who, some. fellow, worse scared than hurt, reported to be within a lex miles of the place. liv , erything that could be was removed,- and the writer, who happened accidentally to he at. the place, could but he amused at the evident trepidity which had seized up on all.

The Richmond bispateh, of the ISt, has the following in rektrenee to Getter (he report of the enemy's raid upon ee town of Gordonsville has been contra dicted ill time to prevent any undue ex citement here. but it seems to have been tin prevalent impression among the peo ple of Orange county that Gen. Pope's army was coming down upon them in ter rible array, dealing death and destruction at every step of their progress. The tele graph operator at Gordonsville taught the alarm, and, with the abrupt announce ment, " I'm off," packed up his instru ment and departed, discontinuing, tbr the time being, all communication between the capital and a point whereon public in terest so snddenly concentrated. A citi zen who numbered himself among the stampeders, telegraphed front the nearest station that the enemy had actually enter ed the town ; but, somehow or other no body had seen the Yankees, and all infor mation respecting their movements was necessarily vague and uncertain. Mat ters, however, soon assumed a more defi nite shape, and it was ascertained that a small force of cavalry had advanced as titr as the Rapidan river, destroying the Orange and Alexandria railroad bridge over that river, and retreated to their main army without any fbrther demonstra tion. Intelligence received in official quarters on Monday night., represents that the ene my's force was iu the neighborhood of Cul pepper Court House to the number of about 3,000, and that the town of Gordoni vine still remained undisturbed byanYthing save a causeless alarm. All circumstances tend to show that the movements of the enemy in that direction are invited by ap• pre iensions for the safety of Washington; yet it he chooses to attempt an advance towards Richmond, from the valley of Virginia, let him try it.

The Charleston papers state that this most indispensable article is being manu factured in considerable quantities around that city, some twelve boiling establish ments being in operation in and near Cnarleston. The yield is, or soon will be, about thirty. thousand bushels per annum, which can be increased to almost. any amount. The great source of expense is the fuel, but experience will no doubt soon suggest many improvements iu the mode of boiling. _ Clothing Made In Columbus. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun says that some idea of the amount of clothing manufac tured for the Confederate army in that city may be derived from the fact that about 240 boxes, averaging three feet square and estimated to make twelve or fourteen car loads, have been packed there within a few days past, for a portion of Gen. Bragg's army. All this clothing was made up in Columbus and its vicinity, and a very large portion of the material was manufactured there. Corn. The Savannah Republican says: "We saw a private letter yesterday which states that the planters of Florida are con tracting to deliver corn, of the growing crop, on the Florida Railroad, at 35 cents Der bushel. The crop is immense, and far enough advanced to be considered sale.— Our letters from all parts of Georgia and Alabama, indeed from the entire Confed eracy, represent the crop as in a most flourishing condition, with the promise of an immense yield. JIM LANE OF KANSAS IN PLACE OF GEN. MeCLEL LAN. IWe find the following in the editorial columns of the Pittsburgh G'azette, of Wednesday morning. We reproduce it without a word of comment.: "Affairs on the James river look any- I thing but favorably. Our boats are con stantly fired into, and the river can be easily blockaded. When that is done, our supplies are cut off and our army placed in a state of siege. Gen. McClellan occu pies one little spot on the Peninsula, holds it by virtue of gunboats, and does not seem to know what is going on elsewhere. The papers speak as if he had no notion of moving within a month. Is there not danger of intervention before that time elapses? We believe there is only one man in the country who has the military genius to lead that army against all obstacles into Richmond, and that man is Gen. James H. Lane. He has every qtudity of mind and character which belonged to' the. his-, toned commanders; he inspires soldiers with , bouialless .entboutiunt he always knows the exact position and strength of the enemy, and the enemy never knows either his power or purposes.

It will give confidence to the whole country, and instead of months of fatal idleness we shall have victories every day, and a restored Union within five months In 1856 John 'ff. Forney, now the leader of the Republican party in Pennsylvania, was Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, and issued an address to the people, in which the following elo quent passage occurred: " The adversaries of the Democratic party have dissolved the American Union in advance, so far as by their own action they can consummate that direful result. They can no longer assemble in National Convention ; they congregate as the repre sentatives of a fragment of one-half of our happy country, and they arrogate to them selves the mastery of the other halt; by at tempting to consolidate a fierce and fanati cal sectional majority in every department or the Government. They declare that the country is on the eve of unprecedented convulsions, and they proclaim their pur , pose to arrest these convulsions by ignor ing and insulting fifteen sovereign States of the Union. They talk of peace, and in their conventions proclaim a policy which most end in civil war. - They appeal to Heaven to sanctify a movement which, if successful, would destroy the fairest fabric of freedom on the globe. They invite our countrymen to support their cause in the midst of the most irreverent blasphemies of the Constitution. They prate of ex clusive Americanism, while they accept as leaders men who profane the sages of the past. with inconceivable calumnies. But they deserve credit for their boldness. They do not attempt to conceal the fearful end which, should they succeed, roust crown their efforts. True to the history of all sectional parties, they unite men, not by a love of country, but by a hatred of National principles. Theirbond of action is a sympathy of antagonisms—not a har mony of patriotic sentiments ; and to con summate their purposes they would sacri fice every great material interest of society. They have already succeeded in dividing the Christian Church, and now they would lay their hands upon the bulwarks of our liberties ; they would wrest the Constitu tion from the glorious purpose to which it was dedicated by its founders; and they would erect at Washington a sectional despotism whose presiding divinities would be hostility to the equality of the States and the equality of the citizens, and re lentless war upon the domestic institutions of the South."

LOUISVILLE, July 23.—Yesterday morn ing, trains from Nashville northward, and from Louisville southwaid, met at Mitch ellsville, and both returned owing to a rs port that a thousand rebel cavalry were near Richland, Tenn. Governor Morton, of Indiana, sent a thousand infantsy with cavalry and artil lery to Hnederron, which arrived thereat one in the morning, simultaneously with one of our gunboats, which went up the river with a considerable force to protect the Union residents. . . . General Boyle also sent orders to Col. Garvin commanding at Henderson, to use rigorous measurs to clear the rebels out of the adjoining counties, General G. C. Smith telegraphs from Stanford that he is still pursuing Morgan. General Boyle replies, "Capture him, or drive him out ofthe State." The dispatch from Cincinnati last evening, stating that our cavalry had overtaken Morgan's :and on the road from Mount Sterling, etc., is without foundation. • HARILISIWRG, July 23.—1 n obedience to General Order No. 79, of the War De partment, an additional Assistant Surgeon will at one be assigned to each Pennsylva nia regiment now in the field.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 23.—The Union prisoners who arrived here yesterday on the steamboat Kennebec were from Rich mond, and all remain in hospitals at and near this place for the present. There were about two hundred on the boat, and. most of them are doing well. They say they were well treated by the rebels while imprisoned, only they were kept closely confined, and the food was bad ; but this was not so much from design as from ne cessity. They say our surgeons icted nobly and self-sacrificing toward the sick and wounded United States prisoners— going where they go, and remaining with them while in prison, taking care of them both day and night. Union troops are almost daily arriving at this place, making a short stay, and+ then passing up James river to join Mc- Clellan's or Burnsides' divisions. The weather is cool, and favorable for the sick. BALTIMORE, July 23.—The American of this evening publishes the following: HEADQUARTERS, Ju 22, 1862. All is dull here at present ly . There is no thought of Gen. McClellan being super seded, although Northern papers speak of such event being probable. Either Meip or Halleck will command the armies of the United States. When the President was here, General McClellan recommended and urged such appointment, but told the President not to allow his claims to interfere with his action. in the matter. Several thousand men are here unable to do duty, although the health of the army has improved since it came to the James River. There is no movement whatever of troops. The authorities are looking every day for the enemy to open new batteries on the . other side of the river. The rebels are visibie all through the pines on the oppo site side,but they are never interfered with, unless they appear in large numbers when they are shelled out by our gunboats. Many resignations of officers are being sent in, but none accepted, except those - who are worthless. At the City Council this afternoon, the. Committee on Conference reported again the resolution rejected yesterday, by the second branch, making an appropriation for bounty for volunteers, when the seces sionists in the second branch again re jected it. There was a considerable crowd, and much excitement, and several members were assaulted on leaving, the chambers. A large force, of police was present, who protected the obnoxious members to their houses. But for thia they would have been roughly handled. A large police force is . now protecting their houses. WAsuiNciox 'July 23.—Major-General Pope has issued an order to the different Generals commanding divisions_ in" bia army corps, requiring . them tO seize all - , horses and mules in their vicinity, especial: ly in Culpepper county, not .absolittelY needed by the inhabitants of the surround. ing country. They are also directed to seize all stores not absolutely needed for the maintenance or subsistence of the in habitants. The female portion of the contrabands recently removed from Capitol Hill to the late camp of the M'Clellan Dragoons, near the suburbs of this city, are to be made useful in the capacity of washerwomen at hospitals. - • A large number of officers from the army of the Potomac, who have been found idling about this city, have been sent back to the Peninsula and made to rejoin, their regiments. Alonzo C. Upham, of Leroy, New York, has been appointed Judge, to reside at Cape Town under the Seward-Lyon treaty for the suppression of the slave trade. The government contract for small notes, was awarded to the National Bank Note- Company. WASHINGTON.
