Immense Keeling of the Citigens
ereautine for tie Protection of the
• Commonwealth.
The first public bell West of the Alle
gheny mountains, that suspended from
the belfry of the Court House, is never
rung except upon great occasions, one of
which occurred yesterday morning, when
its rather diminutive voice was heard,
. about half past ten o'clock, calling our
citizens to assemble for the- protection of
our glorious old Commonwealth from
threatened danger.
At eleveu o'clock the Supreme Court
room. and rotunda were both full, and a
meeting was organized with the following
officers: President: Wm. F. Johnst‘ri;
Vice Presidents : Gen. Win. Robinson, ie.,
Hon. Thos. M. Howe, Hon. 13. C S4r,
Hon. A. C. Alexander, T. J. High" I.
W. F. White, M. Swartzwelder, W. 41
Phillips • SePrefarica : John S. Coligrave,
John d. Harper, John R. Large, John
Fullwood.
Gov. Johnston proceeded to state the I
o' j set of the meeting, the carryingont of the
recommendutions of the Governor to arm
and drill the State militia, in anticipation
of some necessity known to him, which
Although not dangerous to our immediate
vieiuity, demands our aid in repelling an
invasion of the Commonwealth, every
part of which should be as dear to us as
Our own county.
Here the crowd outside demanded an
adjournment to the street, and the meet
ing, having reassembled in the Court
House yard on Fifth street, the chairman
offered for consideration the following
preamble and resolutions, which had
been approved by the Executive Com
mittee of Public Safety, formed more
than a year since, and still in existence
and pursuing its duties:
WHERMAS, The enemies of our country
are at present making stupendous efforts
to destroy free institutions and overthrow
the government, it becomes the duty of ,
every citizen to rally to the support of the
'National and State Governments, to aid
them in repelling invasion and crushing
out treason.
We, therefore, in mass convention as
sembled, in pursuance of the Governor's
proclamation of the 4th inst., do hereby
pledge ourselves fully and faithfully to
carry into Effect the recommendation of
the Executive of the Commonwealth, for
arming and organizing tha military forces
of the State.
To do so, with efficiency, we must give
a portion of our time and means to the
good Ganes of preserving our country and
its laws, therefore
Remised, That a special committee of
citizens be appointed by the chairman of
this meeting, to. et in conjunction with
the Executive Committee of Public Safety
of Allegheny county—and that said joint
committee be charged with the duty of
taking such measures as they' may deem
most expedient to organize volunteer
companies and regiments in accordance
with the recent proclamation of the Gov
ernor of the Commonwealth, and to su
perintend the massing of the said volun
teers into brigades and divisions.
Resolved, 'Chat said committee have
authority to appoint sub-committees in
the wards of the two cities, and in the
several boroughs and townships, to aid
them in the discharge of their duties.
Resolved, That the election of company,
regimental and fi eld officers shall be made
by the volunteers themselves, upon the
plan indicated by the Act of ssembly of
1858, under such general regulations for
holding such elections as may be pre
scribed by the joint committees.
Resolved, That the proprietors of all
places of businesa other than manufac
tories be requested to close the same, in
accordance with the recommendation of
the Governor, on Tuesdayii, Thursdays
and Saturdays, at 3 o'clock e. x., to afford
opportunity leer military drill and instruc
tion. That the proprietors of all manu
factories in the two cities and neighbor
hood be requested to confer together, and,
with their employees, appropriate such
hours for drill and instruction, as afore
eaid, as will cause the least interruption
to their multiplied industrial pursuits.
Resolied, That the proprietors of all
bars and drinking saloons be requested to
keep the same closed between the hours
of 8 and 10 o'clock, P. x., on days appro-
priated for drilling.
Joins H. Large, - Esq., opposed the rest
lotions, on the ground that they were not
in accordance with the State law of 1858,
which only contemplates the enrollment
of those between 21 and 45. His remarks
oeeasioned some tumult, and there was a
disposition to choke him down.
Yr. John Magraw, =of Allegheny, a
working man, spoke for his class, and de
manded -action, intimating that working
men had grown tired of being controlled
by politicians, lawyers and doctors, and
now tel: a determination that the voice of
the people should be heard.
The.chairman explained that the object
of the resolutions was to permit all,
whether under or over age, or liable to
enrollmeut, to turn out and drill, so that
they might be prepared for any emergen
cy.
The question was now called upon the
resolutions, and they were adopted almost
unanimously.
IL H. Kerr, Esq., offered the following
in addition, which was passed without op;
position:
Resolved, That we recommend to each
divine ih the county to preach a sermon
-on this wicked war and call the attention
of young and old in their respective
chergei to the necessity of coining to the
rescue of their beloved country; for the
Lord God will help those who . make an
effort to help themselves; an armed and
free people are the safely and glory of the
Republic.
Hoe. Wm. Wilkins was now called upon
and the venerable man was, on his Ap
pearance, received with loud shouts. lie
said be was unable to address the mem-.
binge; he was - there merely to give his
assent to any. sixties,lll4l.4ling might
t ale. He only hoped nothing might be

He said if we did not drill a i d organize we
would not be able to turn out, even though
the rebels were upon our hills. The moral
effect of a general turning out of young
and old for drill and mutual defence would
be prodigious and he urged the necessity
of so doing. The resolutions were all
proper and in conformity with National
and State laws and he heartily endorsed
every word they contained.
Judge Wilkins speech was followed by
three cheers and the meeting .then ad
journed.
The following gentlemen have been
named by the Chairman of the meeting as
the committee to carry out the resolutions
in conjunction with the Executive Com
mittee:

ANOTHER SIENTIN(
After the adjournment, Dr. E. D. Gaz
zam took the stand and indulged in some
rambling remarks, continuing until some
evil-disposed persons made his position
extremely uncomfortable by shaking the
table on which he stood, when he gave
place to Dr. Geo. M'Cook, who had been
loudly called for. He made an energetic
and patriotic speech, full of fire, urging
every man, young and old, to come for
ward now for the defense of his State and
country, givinga cordial support, in men,
money and inguence, to the government.
About noon this second meeting ad
o urned.
Another Pittsburgh Boat Seized
by the Rebels.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 4th
states that Capt. Annawalt's new steamer
Exchange, a Pittsburgh boat, but reccutlY
built, bound from Memphis to Cincinnati,
was captured near Uniontown, Ky., on

Arrest for Giving " Aid and
Comfort."
Two young men who have just ?eturned
from Tennessee, Henry Alward and John
T. Ghriest, both now in the employ of
Fred. Zschelman, of Manchester, making
government wagons, were arrested yester
day, at the instance of the Vigilance Com-.
mittee in that borough, and taken before
the United States Marshal for this dis
trict, who held them to bail to appear and
answer at a future day. Alward is charged
with writing letters home expressing dig
loyal sentiments ; in one, it is said, he
"hoped to God that the Tennessee river
might be crimsoned with the blood of
Northern soldiers." Ghriest, it is alleged,
was employed during his sojourn in Ten
nessee in making sabres, 4c., for the Con
federate government.
Col. Leasure, ot the Roundheads
This gallant officer, commanding the
One Hundredth Pennsylvania, or "Round.
head" regiment, raised in the Western
part of the State, arrived in this city last
evening, and is stopping with a relative at
924 Green street. Col. Leasure was Act
ing Brigadier General of the first brigade
in Gen. Stevens' division, and'was wound.
ed in the battle of the 29th inst., when the
Roundheads lost about 200 men, much the
larger portion being wounded. His wound
is in the leg, and is, we are glad to learn,
not dangerous. The ball has not yet been
extracted, owing to inflammation. Prof.
Gross is attending him. The wounded
men of the Roundhead also arrived here
last evening, and are in the different hos
pitals.—Phila. Bulletin, 4th.

and another in the Theater this evening.
He .offers, if the people will pay the ex
pensos, to walk a rope stretched over the
Allegheny, and, if a hole sufficiently deep
is dug in the channel, to drop in accidental

out-door amusement of this sort, and the
public scarcely desire it.
A Noble Example.

Noyes A; Co's Great U. Si Circus. His
European tour, in 18j.:, was crowned with
the greatest success. In addition to his
high professional attainments, he is a
thorough:gentlem an in private life, and is
held: in the highest Consideration among
all classes wherever known. A 3 an illus.
trAtion of the esteem in which he is held,
where he is best known, we have only to
inform our readers, that while performing
in the city of New York, in March, 1858,
he was presented with a gold medal by
several of the citizens of that place. It is
a most magnificent specimen of art. The
body of it is in the form of a circle, sur
rounded by an elegantly chased rim, set
in rubies and diamonds. On the one side
is an engraving of Mr. Stone, in his Brea;
hurdle act, while on the other is the fol

Mr. Stone is now performing the char

WA.tittsorox, Sept. 5, 11 P. M.—The
recent events in Virginia continue to form
the topic of general conversation. Mili
tary movements and the conduct of the
respective Generals afford a prolific theme
for both military and civil circles. Every
one can see how disasters might have been
avoided and victories secured, but unfor
tunately the advice Fumes at too late a
period to be effectual.
The quiet of the city still continues. No
on e seems bold enough to manufacture
and circulate any exciting rumor to dis
turb the general monotony.
There is no disagreement whatever in
the belief that the rebels are extending
their lines into the Valley of Virginia,
naving in view the crossin g into Maryland
to carry out their military programme. It
is not known that even a skirmish has
taken piece recently on the tipper Poto•
mac, but active movements are, of course,
anticipated in that direction, as well as in
the intermediate country on the line of the
Potomac river and thu Chesapeake and
Ohio canal.
In the absence of facts regarding rebel
movements, much is necessarily left to I
conjecture. It is only necessary to say, in ;
this connection, that our forces are watch-
ful and vigilant
in front of our army to day, six or eight
distant front our most distant out
posts, clouds of dust and other appear.
antes clearly indicated activity among
the rebel troops ; this is the extent of our
kuoviledge upon that subject apart from
the report that our pickets were di iven in
this afternoon by 4 detachment of the
enemy's artillery and cavalry, the sound of
cannon for a short period seems to con
firm this ruint-r whatever may be the tact:
at, damage whatever has resulted.
ft appears, by a private letter, that our
troops have been withdrawn from Acquitt
Creek; if tint alto A ither: m.rtttinly in part.
rut military stores have been amply se
d and placed bet oad th e posstuity of
falling into the bands of the enemy.
Five or six ganboats were at last accounts
lying in that vicinity.
The rebels c:o not occupy Fredericks
burg with any force, as the troops designed
to hold the town have been sent forward
to augment 4acksen't: forees • The citi
zens are pm forming guard duty at Freder
icksburg.
A rebel prisoner, now in this city, and
whose relatives reside here, represents
that the slaughter of the enemy in the re-
,
cent battles was extremely heavy, and es
timates the number 137 greatcr than the
exaggerated lasses on our side.
A rebel mail, recently captured in the
vicinity of Fredericksburg, confirms the
report Ur the enemy's heavy losses, es
pecially among the officers, including Gen.
The following items are gathered from
newspaper:, and private sources : It is be
lieved the rebels have crossed in some
tree this side of Point of tioSts, and sub
sequently, fur most part, recrossed into
Virginia, as though hesitating to make the
experiment of getting a lodgment in Mary
land.
The rebels have thrown shells across the
river at cabal boats, which, however,
did node j ... rage.
A matt professing to have made his
escape iron, the neighborhood of Lees
burg, on Wednesday, by swtnitning the
river, urrrived within our lines to-day.—
lie stated Jackson had entered Leesburg
with his 'troops, and was pushing towards
harper's Ferry, and Lougstreet with con
siderable force was marching in the same
direction. The rebels are well supplied
with artillery- Most of the Union people
about Winchester and Leesburg had made
their escape into Maryland, others were
captured by their secession neighbors
while making the attempt and thrown into
prison.
Upon the receipt of the intelligence that
Jackson was marching towards Leesburg,
the rebel llags were displayed by many of
the inhaitants in token of their Joy at his
coming.
Ilittaisnuito, Sept. s.—The response
this afternoon in this city to the proela
tion of the Governor was most enthusias
tic. The places of business were very
generally closed, and the citizens, old and
young„ rich and poor, formed themselves
into companies and marched to the Capi
tol grounds.
The Governor was loudly called for, and
replied' in a speech of great force and
power.
Parson Brownlow being present, was
called upon, and said, among other things,
that his information led him to believe
that the rebels would cross the Potomac
in great force, procure a footing in Mary
land, and strike for Harrisburg and ulti
mately for Philadelphia. Hejsddressed a
tremendous audience this evening in the
Methodist church.
Ex-Governor David R. Porter was next
called and said he had joined a company
and would march to the defense of our
hot der whenever the order should he given.
He strongly urged the importance of dis
carding party predilictions.

rebels since their arrival at Paris.
An order was issued this" morning com
pelling the citizens to be in their houses by

Haveact, August 29.—0 n the morning
of the 20th inst. I received a telegraphic
dispatch from Cardenas saying that the
night before a Confederate vessel of war
had anchored in the entrance to the har
bor, English built, of iron. and mounting
8 gnus. She came from Nassau, and re
ports that Ale has a crew of 150 men, th at
her name is the Florida and that she is
commanded by Capt. Maffit. This vessel
is none other than the Vieto, lately releas
ed by the Admiralty Court at Nassau as l
an illegal prize. I had news of her before
and was expecting her arrival. A letter I
from Nassau told me that she had 70 men
and that she hoped to complete her crew
ia Cuba. Also, that Capt. Semmes, who
was to have command of her had sailed
for Europe, and that Capteia Maffit,
who formerly commanded the Crusa
der, was to command her instead.—
The first officers of the Florida former
ly held the same position on board the
Sumpter ; the Florida is lined with iron,
and is calculated to resist any ordinance
shot. The news of her arrival was imme
diately sent from Verdenaz Mantanzas and
Navarna to our squadron at Key West,
and there are now three vessels of War
waiting for her to make her exit from
Cardenaa. The Captain General was
much annoyed at her appearance at Car
denas, and ordered her to leave at once
for sea, but Captain Majtt nrged that he
was ia distrPas and oontinued to remain
there, ) Two of the Florida's officers came
to Havana the day before yesterday.
There were only two tons of coal at
Cardenas, yet the Florida has been able to
get some, though I am told the captain
had to pay $22,50 a ton for it to the gas
zornpany, and the letter will replace it
from this city at 29.
The Florida claims to have destroyed
several American merchantmen on her
way to Cardenas. I doubt this. 's
'1 he Captain General has ordered - the
naval officer at Cardenas to make a thor
ough search of the Florida, and if he finds
any prisoners on hoard of her, to liberate
them.
The Captain General seems as if be in
tended to act in a more honorable man
ner than he has done before in like cases,
and promises to do all that our govern
ment can expect. '
The Confederate steamers Alice, alias
Matagorda, Blanche, alias General Rusk,
and the California, have recently sailed
for part 4 unknown.
The Spanish steamer Mexico left on
the 2 1st for Vera Cruz, with two hundred
head of cattle and provisions for the
French troops at Oriziba and Vera Cruz.
There is little or no fever here. The
rains continue.

Great Britain
The Dublin correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writes, on the 21st of August,
as follows:
The Federal gunboat Tuscarora, it ap
pears, has been dodging the Ajax, for the
purpose of getting coals on board, in defi
ance of the orders issued by the Admiralty.
The Tuscarora has coaled within three
months at a British port, and did not pro
ceed, as she was bound to do, on a voyage
to the United States, but remained hover
ing about the coast, on the lookout for
Confederate vessels.
She put into Kingstown with the view of
getting coals. Unable to accomplish this
there, partly in consequence of the return
of the Ajax, she weighed anchor and steam
ed with all speed to Belfast Lough, where,
according to a previous arrangement, she
received a supply of coal, amounting to
a hundred tons. Having anchored outside
of the jurisdiction of the Harbor Commis- ,
sioners, the Collector of the Customs at
once took the matter up, and served-a no
tice on the Federal captain to depart with
in twenty-four hours, and a revenue cutter
was placed alongside of the Tuscarora to
prevent further violation of the neutrality
laws, and at the same time the mater was
reported to the Admiralty. The Belfast
people ask what would have been done if
the Federal captain had refined taleave.
The Times editorially argues that, all
though the latest advises from America
show an apparent buoyancy in financial
matters, by the diminished premium on
gold, etc., the day must come when the
people of the United States will really
understand the position of their own finan
ces, and, when that time arrives, it doubts.
not that the principles which have so often
been verified in the bankruptcy of great
European monarchies will assert them
selves with equal vigor to punish the
financial obloquies of the American re
public.
In another article the Times depicts the .
latest American advices in the moat gloomy
character. It says:
"On all sides the political horrizon
grows blacker and blacker, nor can any
chance of peace be discovered except in
-the exhaustion or inipotence of a belliger
ent. Ii the Falange were not blind with
fury they would now see what all Europe

on the offset of drdking, and thinks it will

try the temper ufle Northern people
more than it has ever been iried yet, and
shake to its very foundation the tottering
edifice of the Union. It says:
"New Yorkers hate less reason than
other Americans to struggle against the
conscription. It is their last hope. in the
absence now of any nobler or worthier ob
ject. it is for the supremacy of their city,
and to avert its commercial ruin that a
war is arcin g prosecuted which will con

Affairs in Kentucky.
The Louisville Democrat of Tuesday
says the intelligence of Kirby Smith's in
vasion is exciting—calls for immediate
and earnest action--"but we can see
nothing in it to cause alarm. We ire
same that the rebel force to which Lexing
ton surrendered was only an advance
guard of cavalry. and that Kirby Smith
will remain with his command on the
South bank of the Kentucky river."
"Kirby Smith's advance upon Lexing
ton is aloud call for defenders, but it is
not a cause for alarm, for panic, for ex
citement, for despondency, no more than,
nor as much as, Buckner's invasion of
Kentucky, a year ago. Our forces under
Gen. Wright have fallen back to a more
tenable position, which they will be able
speedily to draw reinforcements, and
from which, if Smith remains long enough
they will be ere long precipitated in over
whelming columns upon him. As to the
movements on foot, looking to driving
him from tk e State, we say nothing—w e
only advise Union men and women to be
cool, to work quickly and quietly, and
f
v til orkot all thehope." time with intense neergy and
