?be Vases as It WAS s Vim essastltssitlos as it Is! SATURDAY MORNING. AUG. 30 • ST Reading. matter ea every page "NOTHING IN A It is amusing to observe the shifts and expedients to which the tattered and beg• any opposition to the Democracy in Penn sylvania are driven. The wretched politi cal lazaroni even deny the name. Like a piratical craft they sail under false colors 'and for the same purposes. In Philadel phia they call themselves "Union men," with the expectation of fooling some who are opposed to their Abolition designs in the middle counties they style them selves the "People's Party" in order to gamMon some who used to belong to the American party, and- here where Aboli tionism is in the ascendant they stick to the name of Republican. But with these political marauders there is nothing in a name. Give them power and they are content; line their sleeves and we may cell them what we please. The combination of politicians in Penn sylvania alluded to, who have this year united their desperate fortunes, are no better than so many highwaymen; we, of course, allude to the leaders. They are —composed of all the old, worn out political rascals who have, in years gone by, been looked upon as mere partisan cut-purses. They have issued through their State Central Committee a most villainous I address, which, for audacious assumption of purity and patriotism, and denuncia tion of all citizens who will not join their conspiracy surpasses the extremes of Jeff. Davis himself. The Pittsburgh Gazette too, not content with publishing this vile production, alluding to its infamous sen timents, remarks that Democrats have properly refrained from going to war, in order to carry the fall election, and upon I this brazen falsehood * appeals to its party to be on the alert. This is the course of the organ of Allegheny county Abolitionism, controlled by some half damn lean and - laundry cormorants, who are quartered in various places, upon a bleeding government. This is the man ner in which they show their patriotism ; assailing better men than themselves, and watching like hungry spaniels, for every crumb that falls from the government table. But, if the Democrats have staid at home in sufficient numbers to alarm the fear of Abolitionism for its continued as <tendency, their is a very convenient and summary proot by which to decimate our numbers. There is nothing easier, and we may add, nothing more probable than it will be attempted. Let each of the re cently appointed tax assessors and collet- tors report the names of a certain number in each congressional districts, accuse them of disloyalty to the government and the work is accomplished. There is nothing easier than this for Abolition poli ticians, except lying. There is plenty of time for this undertaking, and some of the recent appointees are precisely the men for its accomplishment. We know some of them whosti — exploits qualify them, for if not for absolute treason, at least for "stratagems and spoils." IS THE SOUTH A UNIT? The Richmond Examiner and Charles ton Mercury are loud and vehement against the Executive of the Confederate States. They say straggling and desertion have impoverished-and demoralized the ar my, and corruption reigns in high places. Their armies being filled by conscripts from the first, another call is being made to fill up weakened ranks at the point of the bayonet. If all this be true, where is the chivalry, the enthusiasm, the unity of the South? We have heard so much about the great Southern heart being fired, that every man, woman and child intended to die in the last ditch rather than surrender, that we have been persua. ded we had to fight not only an army but a people. Yet it would appear that stragglers and deserters are plenty and volunteers extremely rare. According to their own showing there mast be a large party in the South opposed to exposing their sacred persons to the unhealthy ef fects of shot and shell. We don't want to be considered as discouraging enlistments when we express the hope,that Jeff. Davis may never receive another recruit and every man forced into his ranks will de sert upon the first opportunity, nor set down se profane in praying that Jeff. Davis, his Cabinet, Congress and "Gen erals in the army," particularly Breckin ridge and Floyd, may take the yellow fever, (it would be desirable the last two should have the small pox included,) and die before another week. If they do this we guarantee General Halleck will not cross the Rapid Ann except to ad minister upon their estates and put in a new crop. If they do not or will nor - • die a natural death, the other alternative must come quickly in the shape of hemp and cross beams. Let President Davis push on his conscription RUSSEL'S DISPATCH The steamship Hibernia, which arrived in New York on Wednesday, brought a letter from Earl Russell, in reply to one from Secretary Seward, which had been written a month previous. Mr. Seward made the most of his case; and the English man took good care not to answer until a favorable opportunity offered. He inti mates his belief that the war in the United States is not only extending itself, but daily increasing in bitterness; in proof of which he alludes to toe passage of the Confisca tion Bill, the proclamations of General Butler, and also the probability of a ser vile insurrection. He asserts that, from the moment the intelligence first crossed the ocean that the Southern States bad severed their connection with the Union end made war on the Government, until the present time. the British Government piteued a friendly, openand comas eat curse, and neither the Ira of raw : haat and cheese is set before the h4ngry material, insults of American 1)14W:41•8 and soldiers, while plenty of clear ice water public journals, nor th e vigor with whi ,, h tkitd smoking hot coffee is furnished are sPread furnished to Tee th e Queen's subjects attempting to ltrcelt wash them down" loth tablets loose cleam, White cloths, and everything ose from the blockade of the Southern about theestablishment looksueatand tidy, ports have been treated, have induced the Hon.

These little indica tions of the style of education in which the women alluded to had indulged when young, were received by the party, gen erally, very good naturedly. Once in a while. however, some one would drop a remark within hearing of these Amazons which was much more 'emphatic than polite, and not exactly intended for ears rafined. When God's first best gift to man forgets her mission to this mundane sphere, she should be treated accordingly. Altogether we had a very pleasant time in Baltimore, and were fully convinced that a great change for the better had tak en place in the sentiment of the people,, in regard to the Union and its value. Dur ing Our stay we met Maj. John Pattersim, Capt. W. B. Neeper, 0. A. Mundoiff, George Rolshouse, Win. Lippincott, John Leech, and other Pittsburghers, all of whom were in fine health and spirits.

AN ABOLITIONIST ON THE CENSORSHIP OF THE PRESS. Some of the extreme Abolition papers are beginning to exhibit some alarm for the liberty of the press as long as arrests and imprisonment were confined exclu sively to Dcinnernts, these people had no complaint to make, whatever; but now that they are preparing to opp,s e Presi dent Lincon, because of his r, pudiati,m of Greeley's crotchety suggestion, they can see no justice nor protriety in the suppressing of the press. The Chicago Tribune, an echo of its New York name- sake, seems quite nervous about this mat• ter, and calls for a convention of editors and publishers to take some action ui.on it. It says : "We see no reason why such a (~-,nvent ion should not he held. 1h„ 1 , once since this war conno , m•!d• hare lied fruits o.r im periled by orders enormading .

Currying out this idea, ire had not gone far when we met Capt. liarboor. rif the Ninth Pennsylvania Reserves, who wee so severely wounded in the hand at Gaines' Hill, and who is now lee a t e d a t. Fitt McHenry, as an officer of the cripple bri gade ,• also Capt. Charley Barleeir, of the New York 38th regiment. The crowd, it may be judged, was somewhat barbarwts ; r but still we got along quite smoothly, and had a very nice time. ' In BaltimoJe, as wellas every other place, the military excitement runs high. During our stay here several very tine, large regiments from Maine, Massachusetts . and other Eastern and Western States ar rived, marching through the principal streets, preceded by elegant. brass and ' martial bands, while the old insignia of our nationality, the stars and stripes, were proudly and defiantly flung to thu breeze. Although there is still a strong secession feeling in Baltimore, I could net help con trasting the reception of these troops with 'that given to those who passed through a strong o. The Union sentiment is now so g that the sympathisers with the Southern Confederacy, no matter how much they may fuel like giving vent to their feelings, deem discretion the better part of valor, bite their lips and sing tuttin. A due regard for the safety ot their flap pers probably induces them to adopt this course. As an evidence of the change which has taken place in Baltimo re wi t hi n a year, I would mention that now, under the auspices of the Union Relief .I:3socia ; tion, every kindness and attention is shown to the troops passing through. Eighteen months ago, unarmed Union troops were mobbed, insulted and brow-beaten. Omie year ago, when armed, we thought we were doing very well to be allowed to pass through the city without being attacked, while in some cases women, .1. cannot call them ladies, hissed and groaned at us. A change has come over the spirit of their dreams, and the substantial people of Baltimore see clearly who their real friends are. . relief association, through appro priations made by the State and the city, as well as through private subscriptions. are now doing a most noble and humane work, in ministering to the wants of the tired and hungry soldiers on their way to the field. A large four story brick build ing, opposite the Baltimnre and Ohio Railroad depot, has been fitted up as eat ill rooms, which enables the committee to seat six hundred men at once, each man having his own plate, knife, fork and white mug, out of which to drink his cof fee.

A gentleman, formerly a resident of this city, and for several years past a resident of Richmond, arrived here on Sunday morning. Ile represents that the suffe.r ing in the rebel capital is extreme. Prices have reachcd a point never before known in the extremities of any people. The poor are continually ou the very verge of starvation, and, were it nut for flour, the only article of a moderate price, and that selling for from twelve to fourteen dollars a barrel, want, destitution and misery would du the work of annihilation. Beals fifty cents per pound and bacon seventy five. Clothing is enormously high. Boots sell from forty-live to fifty dollars per pair, cud other articles in proportion. Our' informant was offered for a black coat, which he had worn two years, fifty dollars. I Broadcloth is worth fifty dollars per yard, bieached cottons one dullur,and uubleach ed seventy-five emits. Calico is worth one dollar and fifty cents. Coffee is worth two dollars and a half' per pound, tea sixteen dollars. Calf skins are worth two hundred dollars per dozen. The women ire fierce in the spirit of re bellion.

Barr has been relieved from duty as Chief of Artillery in the Army of the Potomac, and directed to report to Washington tbr or ders. In issuing this order, the General commanding avails himself of the occa sion to express his thanks for the zeal arid ability Gen. Barry has at all times dis played in the discharge of his duties, and especially for his valuable services iu con nection with the organization of the ar tillery of the Army of die Potomac. Gen. Stoneman, iate Chief of Cavalry of Gen. McClellan's army, has also been relieved, and has received a similar coin pliment from the General Commanding. It is understood that Gem r 1s Barry and Stoneman are to be assigned immediately to important commands in the field. Major Alexander S. Webb, late assist ant to Brigadier General Barry, has been ordered to report to Major General Fitz John Porter as Inspector General, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. SOME one blamed Mr. March for chang ing his mind. "Well" said he, "that is the difference between a jackass and a man; the jackass can't change his mind and a man can— it's a human privilege."

Federal army, who was etipturetrin one of the bat tles of the Peninsula, was taken into Rich mood, he was quartered at theSpottswood Hotel. a day or two the women declared that they would leave the hotel if he was suffered to remain, and they carried their point, forcing the General to be confined as a prisoner elsewhere. There is much destitution in the army. Many are without shoes and their clothing is tattered and torn. The conscription which has been enforced has sweat up all between the ages of eighteen and thirty five, and a second is now to he operative, reaching all between thirty-five and fifty fire. He judges that the army in the vicinity of Richmond now reaches two hundred and fifty thousand, and possibly three hundred thousand. Troops have been aggregated to make a desperate stand, and the second conscription will add many more. 1 he havoc of our arms in the battle of Peninsula he represents to have been ter rible. Richmond was filled with wounded, who were contitundly brought in for a fort night after, with wounds blackened, almost putrid. Private citizens were obliged to take theirs into their houses. Our informant left some three or four weeks since. The pass permitted him to go to a certain point. and arriving there, he kept on by ox and horse teams till he got beyond the Confederate lines. He fell in with a troop of the New York cavalry, was takers to the coast and escap ed. The last part of his journey was somewhat perilous, for in the woods where he met the Federa!s a body of five hundred rebel cavalry was scouting. He was wary, for a capture would returu hint to Richmond and tltenceto the army. Most of the foreigners there are Union ists and will not tight unless compelled to 1t the out break of the Rebellion he judged hat t we-thirds id the population were ("nit - mists.

The President received dispat2hes to which were quite gratifying. It is intimated that daily bulletins of army news will be issued from the War Department. They are needed more now than at any time during the war. There was a large arrival of contrabands to day. General Scott writes from West Point that hii health has so much improved that he is enabled to take his usual daily walk. Provost Marshals have been appointed for all the counties in Maryland, thus placing the State effectually under martial law. ST.
