The Vi.ien na si ITIVI The Citnitt it a Democratic State Ticket. AUDITOR GENERAL, ISAAC SLENCLEII, Colon County. SURVEYOR GENERAL, JANE& P. BAR% JUlegheny County. TUESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 12 Reading matter OD every page PROPOSITION We propose to Sheriff Woods to pub lish the forthcoming list of Sheriffs Sales and the usual handbills accompanying the same, and to devote the entire proceeds to the Volunteer Bounty Fund. By ac cepting this offer the Sheriff will, without loss to himself, be the means of increas ing this most patriotic fund. Will he do it? GIVING AID AND COMFORT. While some unimportant persons are' toeing threatened for the mere expression of an opinion relative to the mode of conducting hostilities against. the rebels, it is remarkable with what impunity others of influence and ability are permitted to bring the course of the government into contempt. But a few weeks since an editor of a little country 'newspaper in Ohio was roused from his slumbers in the dead of night, and quietly hur ried off to prison- fur the publication of something discussing the war. The other day three gentlemen connected with the Patriot and Union, in Harrisburg, wore arrested and imprisoned, where they still remain, because of a handbill having been printed in their office calculated to "delay enlistments." No: understanding these cases precisely. we have said nothing about them ; but if acting or speaking in a man ner calculated to discourage enlistments be an offense so heinous (and there can be nothing worse- save open assistance to the rebel cause) we can not understand why important, Mile, ntial and powerful offen ders are permitted to go unpunished. The notorious Wendell Phillips, since he' has partially ceased denouncing the Government, has devoted his energies and eloquence -to the ridicule and disparage. ment of the President. He scouts the plans of the Administration, accuses the President of weakness and imbecility, and denounces General M . Clellau as being no better. He advises no enlistments until the policy of the Government is changed to suit his purposes, which are merely the manumission and t.dvaacement of the slave. population of the South. In-these speeches of Phillips' we can see nothing but an intention to " give aid and comfort to the enemy." He de nounces those having the conduct of the war entrusted to them with incompetency, and advises no more enlistments until their policy is changed to suit his exactions. There is no doubt about his course—no obscurity. He is open. and defiant ; and those having the power 10 . punish permit him to Continue in his treasonable course, while they enforce their orders against some poor country editor who, perhaps, had no particular knowledge of the offense he had committed. The other day a committee of officious individuals waited upon the President, to persuade_him to abandon his well matured plans for the continuance of hostilities, and adopt their notions. These were, of course, connected with slavery. They in sisted upon arming the negroes; the Pres ident objected; they grew vehement and unmannerly; -when he informed them, with emphasis, that his mind was made up not to arm the negroes, remarking that if' he did it would lose the - Union cause "forty thousand white soldiers." The New York Tribune, hearing of the result of this in terview, immediately opened fire upon the President's policy, and in the following lines announced its hostility: "Unless the slaves are given to under stand,.and that speedily, that the Union wants their services enough to give them liberty therefor, then the rebellion can never be put down." Ever since the interview alluded to, the Tribune, and other papers of its cast, have been growing more open in their assaults upon the policy of the Administration and the leading generals in the field. They are proving that they have no interest in I the Union's restoration, only so far as it affects slavery, and are accordingly labor ing to bring the Government's policy into contempt. Is it because Wendell Phillips and Horace Greeley are great and power ful leaders that they are allowed to dis courage enlistments? and is it; because others are comparatively weak and help less that they are 'punished for trifling and venial offenses? It looks very much like; Curious Theatrical Advertisement. A curious theatrical advertisement has lately appeared at Naples, announcing that after being closed for the long period of 1,800 years the Pompeii Theatre, rebuilt on the ruins of the ancient establishment, will be opened with "La Viglia del Reg imento." The speculative manager adds in his quaint bill that he trusts that the favor and patronage which were liberally accorded to his predecesor, Marcus Quintins Martins, will be continued to him, and that he proposes doing ail in his power to equal and if possible surpass the abilities dis played by Signor Ilartius cluring_his man agement. "Pxr," said a builder_ to au Irishman enswid in carrying salt to the top of a four-story building, "have you any houses Ireland as high as this one ?" "Us, me mother's cabin." " How many rooms bad it?" " t here was the ateing-room, the slapingroom, the kitchen-room, and the ing pea—fuur rooms." "That's a dory," said the builder. "Yis, four stories," said Pat. ONED DOCTRINE. Iltdgillaittiey, of Ohio, the Democratic candidate for the Supretne'Bench of that State is, in company with the Hon. Thomas Ewing, stumping the State, appealing to the people to volunteer for the ouppression of the rebellion. The Judge's speeches are sound and sensible; the last one he delivered was at Chillicothe, from which we select the following patriotic para graphs: Whether we voted for the present Ad ministration or not, we arc equally inter ested in preserving the Government. Ad ininistrations are but for a day. THANK GOD, THIS COUNTRY IS OURS. We had better expend all we have in preserv ing it, and leaving it to our children, than to leave them anything else. We are under obligations as citizens to bear arms in defense of the Government, and to do so voluntarily. Should we wait to be forced into the tield, we would not be doing our duty; and the moral effect of popular support would be lost to the Gov ernment. This call is addressed to us all. Do not look around you for a poor man who may be obliged to go. Let him who is in a situation to enlist step forth, and say to others, come! It is a great matter with us to know that we are right. "Thrice armed is he who has his quarrel just." Without discussing the past. I say to you that this rebellion was produced by ambi tious men in the Smith, WI TROUT REA SON or EXCUSE. We do not deny the right of revolution, but those who under take such movements can be justified only by such reasons as our fathers had—such as are recorded by Jefferson in the Decla ration of Independence. BUT THERE IS NO SHADOW OF EXCUSE run THIS ATROCIOUS ATTEMPT or THE REBELS TO OVERTHROW OUR COV ERNMENT. Remember the toils of our fathers, who ' settled this country, and the heroic strug gle of the Revolution, the wisdom of the framers of the Government, the mildest and best in the world. All that has been gained for us in the past the rebels seek to wrest from us. They seek to sever an im mense section of our country, and to ac complish this, they, in their desperation, would sell that section back to old Eng land, from whom our fathers conquered it. It is for us to say whether this shall be done. The people can prevent it. but it' we would prevent it we must rise in our might ; we must show some of the spirit of our forefathers, while we say to the Execu tive: You are acting as Our agent. and we hold you responsible for the preservation of the Union. 11*€ must also .itty, we are here ready with men and means to cnuLle you to Perform your duty. It is idle to call fur the suppression of the rebellion fin less ice make the needful exertion to sup press it. The Union men ci the South need our immediate aid, and it is due to them.— They have sacrificed a thousand times more than we have for the Government.— The very idea of government requires pro tection to the citizen in return for his alle giance. We must save the Mississippi—the high way of the West. Think what this caller . . is to be when filled by your children. Talk nut of treaties with the men who have broken the Constitution made by Wash ington. We must never yield this river or any part of its banks. I would iee every man in the West in the field and sacrificed before I would consent to yield it. Let the great State of Uhio, then, make such a response to the present call as will accomplish her full share in sup pressing this accursed rebellion. Excitement at the Park Barracks. A large number of persons visited the Park barracks this morning, to make in quiries touching the draft which will shortly be made upon the people of this city. The crowd was quite turbulent, and not a few ridiculous questions were asked. Captain Abel, superintendent of the bar racks, answered their questions as well as he could, and some lett apparently satis fied, while others openly expressed their dissatisfaction. "Where shall Igoto he exempt?" "Will I Ito allowed to furnish a substitute?" inquired another. ••l'm not able to go," said a man who was smoking a cigar, and who looked as if he was just the Yankee to whip five secesh ers—if -any such there be. ''Oh, I gue,s you could stand it," returned Capt. Abel, •if you would only make your mind up to it." "But I'm sick," said the nervous visitor, "and the doctor won't pass me if I am drafted." "Well then, you're safe at any rate," said Capt. A. Nearly all who called appeared to be perfectly ignorant of the modus operandi of making a draft and of filing exemption papers. The most remarkable feature of the occasion was the fact that all the cis• hors, with but few exceptions, were healthy looking men, and yet it was re• workable how many of them (according to their own words) were suffering from rup tures, cataracts, pulmonary complaints, and other ailments. One man was will ing to go if he would not he compelled to tight with or for the "niggers.'' Ile would have volunteered long ago if he had been convinced that the "nigger" had nothing to do with the war. "If I should bedraft• ed now," said he, "I will go, and I will see that some of my abolition friends go with me." Others said they were nth so much afraid of the bullets of the rebels as of the camp fever. But there were few who talked even in this strain, inasmuch as the majority were opposed to going at all events, because of their disability t• sickness.—R. V. Paper. The Draft and Heads of Families. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, referring to the pro posed draft of the militia, remarks: Reference must be bad to the circum- I stances of the parties upon whom the lot may fall, as in France and other European countries: else we shall he but rushing from one evil into another. For an ex ample, it would not be wise to take away the head of a family, if the family are to be left without the means of support. In that case we should have our almshouses filled up in a week, and all our public charities taxed beyond our abilities to endure. It does not follow from this that said bead of a family should be exempt. Re owes the State service just as much as other people, and the service, if it cannot be discharged personally, must be dis charged by proxy—or, as it is commonly , called, by a "substitute." Now, "substi tutes," no doubt, will be abundant enough, but the rates at which th will value their services, as like as not, will be at a figure quite beyond the ability of any but the wealthy to command them. It is suggest ed that, in this matter, for the good of all those concerned, that the government itself should fix the value of substitutes, as is the case in France. There are many other auggestion . ssof 'a similar character entitled to careful consideration, and it is understood that a committee of citizens will proceed to Washington in the course of a day or two to see it the government cannot be prevailed upon to adopt them, and issue an order accordingly. Some of the gentlemen composing the committee have been long resident abroad, and, as they are perfectly familiar with the "draft ing" machinery there, they are well qual ified to spea k and advise understandingly .- on thin iect. . mir An - ambitious young lady was talk ing very loud and fast about her favorite authors, when a literary chap asked her if she liked Lamb. With a look of ineffable disgust, she aewered her interlocutor that she cared very little about what she ate, compared with knowledge. , . A MAD POMTMSEVI. Wa2hingtork Cor. BooNO . Journal 1 1 In that part of the Washington Asylum which is still devoted to its insane pa tients—Dr. Nicholas showed me a sight which was particularly touching to me.— Cross-legged upon the round table in the centre of the room was seated a woman, perhaps thirty years of age, who had the remains of remarkable beauty ; the finest of large, dark, wild eyes, and features which, though ghastly pale, ware exceed ingly well cut and expressive. Her long, gray hair, was dishevelled, and of her dress and appearance she evidently had not a thought; but, open upon her lap was a volume from which she was pretending to read aloud, making an unintelligible and incoherent gabble. By her side lay a volume of a novel of her own writing, with her own likeness as a frontispiece, and she -had gone crazy as an authoress.— It was the daughter of the poet, Sum ner Lincoln Fairfield,. and she had started with great promise, publish• ing her first book in Boston. Both of her parents, it will be remembered, were of the over imaginative class, and is proved that the twofold inheritance of the gift was too much. But what a pity is , such an apparently unnecessary wreck of a life time of a beautiful girl, for I am told that her recovery is hopeless. The doctor said that, for seconds only, she regained her consciousness; and he asked me to address some remark to her. I did, observing that she must be very lonely, sometimes, in that unfurnished room. Her attention was arrested by my voice, and she started around and fixed her large, dark eyes upon me. "Yes," she said, "these asylums are the mournfullest of weary places." Alas for the head that is to go wild with over endowings. From the oth Reserve Regiment. EIARIIISoN'3 LANDING ? VA.. Aug. 6.

[Cheers.] The officers now in commission, who have conduct ed themselves with ability in the field and have fought with honor, should have the first promotions.

The sober, diligent, brave sergeant, who has been in battle and stood the tempest as calmly its though it were a dress parade he was going through, should take the lead as the army list of judges, bankers, the most influential politicians, or the most warlike of the Senators themselves. [Prolonged cheering.] That is the way to do it. That is the way to recuperate the Army of the Potomac, and make it stronger and holder than ever it has been. Never mind new regiments until the old ones, that have proved their metal and baptized their colors, shall have been sufficiently re cruited.

Thoroughfare mountain loomed up to the west, a rebel signal light non,llash ing through space, and our long columns standing by their muskets stretched up and down the slopes and fields were des cried with their faces toward the ettemy. Crawford's brigade, which had borne the brunt of the fight, threw iloon;tilve, almost exhaustsd upon the moist gra:,t and talked over the adventures of the - tuit - tle. Some of the men incautiously made fires, and this revealing our position. tht enemy commenced shelling them.

Soon the Provost's guards were thrown across the roads and fields, stopping stragglers, and suffering only the wounded to pass; flee wounded came in on foot in great num bers, and the ambnismees were promptly on the spot to carry off these unable to walk. The scenes that made the morning light terrible were the concomitants of all bat tle fields„ but the unusually heavy loss-of field and line officers was remarkable.
