HONESTY OF JOHN BULL.
Up until n year ago, how cordial were
the relations existing between the Aboli,
tionists and their patron, John Bull? The
courtesies extended from one set to the
other were charming; the mother country,
' when speaking of England from this side
the water, and our descendants, from the
other, when alluding to us, were the pleas
ant phrases with which each alluded to the
other. Both the friends of civilization
throughout the world, actuated by the
same lofty - motives, the spread of free
principles, and both the same flesh and
blood, speaking the same language and
professing the same religion. LASS was
the sort of twaddle indulged in by our
trans-atlantic cousins and our sniffling
Abolitionists, up until a few months since.
But, oh, what a change has taken place
with these canting hypocrits? As soon as
Bull got us fairly into a fight among our
selves; when hostilities had begun in ear
nest and certain - of continuing until our
country was bankrupt and the South made
desolate, it was then that he began to ex
hibit the heartless hypocrisy of his for mer
professions.
Now the relationship existing between
the tories of England and the people of
this country has singularly changed. The
Northern masses and armies are a "vile 1
horde," composed of a mongrel race of
European vagabonds, principally low _lrish
and Dutch, while the Southern rebels are
denominated what the abolitionists used
to pass for, "our own flesh and blood."
The London Morning herald, the pow
erful organ of Lord Derby, taking this rare
view of our civil war, declares that Eng
land should at once interfere. and save '•its
own descendents in the South, who are
fighting for Liberty, against a furious
horde of ignorant Northerners. The peo
ple of the South are now the peculiar de
scendents of John Bull ; they are his own
flesh and blood, speaking the same eupho
nious sentences, and piously worshipping
at the same shrine. Our once abolition
, pets of England ; the descendents of the
Puritons ; the rigid advocates of English
customs, and the fond remembrancers of
her ancient glory and renown, are now set
down as being degenerate, the mere equals
of a mongrel offspring of Irish and Dutch,
low hod carriers and base lackey peasants,
whom their over populated countries daily
vomit forth upon the shores of our North
ern coasts and cities. Alas, for the lost
prestige of—genuine Abolitionism ; when
its own natural parent pronounces it bas
tard and casts it off to heartless fosterage.
Now that the unnatural parent has cast it
off forever, perceive how he is enabled to
see and appreciate its deformity. The
Herald says
Another symptom of increasing ferocity
—a new source of frightful crime on one
side and provocation of horrible vengeance
on the other—is disclosed in the demand
made in New York for the Abolitionist
proclamation. So far as its nominal pur
port goes, this would be as futile as fir.
Lincoln's other edicts. Before he can I
etifineipatethe Southern negroes he must
conquer the South._ But the demand is
_not made with a view to the real liberation
of the slaves. It is meant "to diminish
the rebel army by calling away many of
ficers and men to the defence of their
homes." The oNect is not negro emanci
pation. but servile insurrection : not the
manumission of slaves, but the subordina
tion of atrocities such as those of Cawn•
pore and Meerut against the women and
children of Southern families. For the
negro the Northerners care nothing, ex
cept as a possible weapon in their hands
by which the more safely and effectually to
wreak a cruel and cowardly vengeance on
the South. Inferior in every respect to
the Sepoys, the negro race would, if once
excited to rebellion, outdo them in
acts of outrage as they would fall
below them in military cou:agc. They
may be useful as assassins and in
cendiaries ; as soldiers against Ihe - domi
nant racC they would be utterly worthless.
Fortunately, there is no probability that
the North would be able to kindle any
general or extensive negro insurrection.
Oa the lines of the Mississippi - there might
be tieeirsionaloutbreaks and moncreus de
sertions, a good mazy 'plantations itirgiti
be fired, and a number of fugitives mig' t
be added to the Federal army. But
neither the issue of the struggle nor the
f a te dills servile race would be thereby
would only be made
leAfertieioutiand the condition of the
slaves more mbierable. Happily, there is
every reason to believe that the sober
Sense of the President, and the strong
atei-abolitionist feeling of the Northern
pe tple at large, will prevent this horrible
.ionsummation, and that we shall not see
an infamous crime committed under the
do if; of a spurious and late horn philan
thropy. These new Abolitionists do not
conceal their motives: they have not the
decency to pretend couvietion; th, , y seek
avowedly nothing but an inslrninmit of
vengeance on their enemy, and an instru
me et so dastardly, involving the commis
sion of outrages so horrible, that even the
Government which employs a Mitchell
and a Butler must shrink from such a load
of infamy.-
A DRAFT
It is now reduced to a certainty that Al
legheny county will havo to draft, and that
extensively, in order to furnish her pro
portion of troops called for by the govern
ment. This 14eing the case, the next point
is to have an impartial and honest draft.
Let every ward, township and borough in
the county furnish a thorough and com
plete list of those subject to he drafted.
and everything will go oil satisfactorily.
We do not wish to hear of any sint.rt as

and to suggest that the people at Imam ea

power, and thus to put down
without organization, is not only as falla•
cious as to suggest that our soldiers in the
field can be effective to put down Seces
sionism without organization. It is, how
ever, of toe first importance that, in times
of great public calamity and danger like
the present—in "the camp" for military
purposes, and in the "assemblies of the
people" for civil purposes—there should
be all practicable unanimity and unity of
action. Organization, however, being in
dispensable, it only remains to in
quire how can the friends of the Consti
tution and the Union best ca-operate for
civil purposes against their enemies?
Before Heaven I declare it, to he my most
solemn conviction that the, only organiza
tion under which such Illinois should rally
is that of the Democratic party. Point
out a better organization to accomplish
these ends, and with all my love, yea,
veneration Ihr that glorious old party that,
when in power, gave the chief of greatness
and prosperity to the country, still I would
leave it and juin that better organization.
But, my countrymen, throw aside all bias
of previous affiliations, and ask y - ourselve 3,
with deep, patriotic selieiinde, is there
'any other thoroughly loyal party in this
State at this time except the Democratic
party? Is there any other party here that
has not the sympathy, at least, as against
the Democratic, of such Abolitionists as
Sumner, Phillips, Greeley, Wade and Wi.-
mot ? What is the character of that party
in this State, whose representatives met at
Harrisburg on the 17th day of July last?
Look at their resolutions and see with what
warmth they embrace Senator Wilmot, the
Abolitionist. But how do they treat Sen
ator Cowan who, although elected by a
R epublican ) Legislature, yet his course in
the present. Con g ress has proven him to be
a patriot, and of course not an Abolition
ist? Lo they tender their embraces to
stimulate and Witrlll to renewed efforts
in his patriotic course! Not at all—nut at
all. Doubtless they feit that in most un
ceremoniously endeavorieinignitiii;iitibr;4647iclaiiiimy

perish. n conclusion ! The'rit
tire that glows in the hearts ot the p p at eople
of Pennsylvania, is intense au d widespread
enough to warm the heart and reinvigorate
the spirit of every patriot.
A word more in titinelusion ill*" rig*
to the war. I understand tnelnialicrr
the Democratic Nifty iti , PeifleylShis
be, that it should be pionect* *ler thn,
Constitution for the l ies . toifition • oflltirt
Union; that, accordingto the resolution of
Congress adopted in Arty, 1861, it should
not be waged in any spirit of oppression,
for any purpose - of conquest or subjuga
tion, or purpose of overthrowing or inter
fering witn the rights or established insti
tutions of these States; but to defend and'
maintain the supremacy of the Constitu
tion and to preserve the Union, with all
the dignity, equality and rights of the sev
er»! States unimpaired, and that as soon
as these objects are accomplished, the war
ought to cease. A war of " conquest or
taiblugation," means eternal disunion.
!I means the overthrow of the Constitution
and the Union. It means anarchy and
despotism. Consequently, Democrats and
other loyal men seek to limit the purpose
of this war to the supprepsion of the rebel
lion under the Constitution, and that the
Constitution and the Union shall not be
destroyed under the false pretence of pre-
,:er.ting them. It is, as [ understand it,
the firm purpose of ie Democratic party
to defena and assist the officers of the Fed
eral Government in all their efforts under
the Constitution to put down all the ene
mies of the Constitution and the Union.
111 Democrats, whether in the camp or
in the . asseinblies of the people.'' will so
treat these enemies, whether they he
known as Secessionists or Abolitionists.
St. Louis in Danger.
The Anzieger des Westens, a German
parwr published in St. Louis, Missouri, in
its issue of 1.‘10,16:ty, declares,that City to be
in. danger. It say.; :
'• Twice we have warned our fellow•
citizens and told them that a design was
ripening to obtain possession of St. Louis.
Gur warning has been taken too easy:
some have smiled incredulously. others
shruggedikieir shoulders. In short, no
one seemr-tto think on the fearful mean
ing of such an event. Since then we have
heard of three rebel camps in our county,
in the vicinity °four city, which have been
dispersed by our military. and yesterday
evening Our military authorities received
the reliable intelligenee that eighte.en mike
North of St. I .rinis.in the woods of Spanish
fund. rt eltlllp of one thousand rebels is
located. The secessionists in the city
hear t heir heads high, and the boldest
among them boast already that in a few
days St. Louis will be in their possession.
"We new ask Governor Gambl e and
the military commander, General Scho•

strength of the Northern and Southern
armies would, it uninterrupted, soon bring
the contest to a close. Congress must act
with promptness and decision; the ravages
and gaps in our armies must be supplied
with new troops. It is necessary, to se
cure the fortunes of the contest, to make
new drafts on our people. They can
endure it, for what is there of inconveni
ence, privation, or hardship that 'is not
preferable to .the horrors of subjugation?
While our army slitters front the flux of
deserters and stragglers, the North is re
doubling its exertions to crush us. If,
these exertions are not to be encountered
by any new ardor in the administration of,
President Davis; if they are not to be
checked by any aggressive movement, any
new essay of policy, any departure from
the habits of the back track, Congress will
be the only power the country can look to
o meet the growing and formidable pre-
Arations of the North. It will do so in
ie most practical and useful way, by en
larging the conscription law to the utmost
limits, and putting, without delay, the
whole available military force of the
South in the field.
Now and Then
The Buffalo Courier draws a comparison
between the Congress which put down the
rebellion under Jackson and that which
encourages it under Lincoln. The Con
gress under Jackson was composed of
such men as Henry Clay and Silas Wright;
that under Lincoln is made up of very
different material. The Courier puts the
difference in policy in the two bodies in a
very different light :
"Under Jackson, the policy of Con
gress was to remove all pretext of rebel
lion; under Lincoln, it has been to furnish
the rebels fuel with which to feed the
treasonable flames they had kindled.—
Under Jackson, Congress recognized its
duty to endeavor by all honorable means
to avert war: under Lincoln, it, has acted
as if ite first and only duty was to make an
end of a local institution, OxistiFig, bv vir
tue of State law, by nieanaof war.
,trtulet-
Jackson's Administration, Congrestflabor
ed to save the Union; under Lincoln's it
has sought, in every possible way, to de
stroy it, and all hope of its restoration.

ing for the stragglers from Porter's main
body. Eight miles from Edina they espied
Colonel Frisbie H. McCullough, who had
abandoned Porter, and was now alone
making his way eastward. Espying them
he entered.the brush. They surrounded
the place. One brave man—Mr. Holmes
of Edina—volunteered to penetrate the
lair of the liion. He did so. McCul
lough raised his rifle and threatened to
kill him if he did not instantly retire.—
Nothing daunted, Mr. Holmes also raised
his gun and demanded an instant surren
der. The brave Colonel saw the odds
against him and surrendered. They con
veyed him to Edina—placed him in charge
of Captain Sells.
The next mornings train with an armed
escort proceeded from Edina to Kirksville.
McCullough was sent along. On arriving
.at Kirksville the news of the capture of the
famous guerrilla excited the utmost en
thusiasm among our troops. He was con
fined a brief time with the other prisoners.
Meantime a court martial was held, and
he was sentenced to be shot that very
afternoon. He received the information
of his fitte with considerable composure,
but protested against it. Leaning against
the fence he wrote a thw lines to his wife.
These, with his wateh,•he delivered to the
officer, to be given to her. Upon the way
to his execution he requested the privi
lege to give the command to fire, which
wits granted. All being ready, he said—
" What I have dune, I have done as a prin
ciple of right. Aim at the heart. Fire!"
The command taking the soldiers by sur
prise, one fired sooner than the rest. The
ball entering his breast he fell, while the
other shots passed over him. Falling
With one leg doubled under the body. he
requested to have it straightened out.—
While this was being done, he said. "I
I orgive you for this barbarous act." The
squad litoing reloaded their pieces.
another volley was fired, this time into his
body, and he died. His remains were
committed to friends in the place.

ILA nurmA, August 25i—The Bulle
tin says: A gentleman who left the Rap
pahannock at eleven o'clock yesterday
morning has given us some interesting in
formation, part of which may be given to
the public without vi olating t he regulations
of the War Department.
Our troops have had frequent skirmish
es with the rebels in falling back from the
Rapidan, but the losses have not been
heavy on either side. We hold the rail
road bridge across the river as well as two
commanding positions on the other side,
from which the enemy have several times
vainly tried to drive us.
Our troops distributed along the river
for a number of miles have successfully
resisted various efforts of the enemy to
cross, and it is believed that we can main
tain our position until the junction of the
other army corps will make us strong
enough to resume the offensive.
Continual cannonading was heard all
along the lines, and cavalry skirmishes
were frequent. The rebels are apparently
endeavoring to turn our right and get ttt
the rear of our army by way of Warren•
ton, which town has been in turn occu
pied by cavalry parties of each side: but
our Generals are awake to this danger,
and will foil the rebel plans.
Our informant does not confirm the re
port of a correspondent of a morning IQ
per, of the defeat and capture of about
two thousand rebels that had crossed a
bridge erected in the neighborhood. Ile
had heard of no such bridge, nor of any
action corresponding with the one de•
scribed.
TR ENTO:sT, N. J., August 2.1.----The 11th
