TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 18 A DISAPPOINTMENT We regretkvery much that the origina. tors of the•Cll for a National Convention, to be held in this city on the 25th inst., have found it. necessary to abandon their undertakiugl The objects of the propos ed assemblage were laudable and we can not understllnd why the virtuous men who conceived d them now think proper to abandon them indefinitely. A copy of the call is now before us; it is an impres sive document, the authors of it evidently telt the magnitude of the work before them. It says, "The time has arrived when the true 'and earnest friends of civil and religiontiliberty in the new world should rally as a urilt." It will be seen that this is the style-o'f our Declaration of Inde pendence, only that that document spoke merely in behalf of the revolted colonies, , having but titre° millions of people, while . the other is but forth in the name of the friends of citil and religious liberty in the new world. ;i4k convocation of the patriots of a mere `County, section or State, or a number of States, or in fact all the States, was not the ihing for the times, but with a true Catholic spirit the call summoned teeming adillons of champiolks of civil and religious libllrty in the new world to assen - ble in Pittsburgh, for the most sublime pirpose that ever engaged the attention of Christiad patriots. Why shOuld such a sublime enterprise be aban• cloned? Nothing like it has happened in this Wiiifteru hemisphere. It re - minds us of qie virtuous crusaders,in their gatherings iafthe holy land, for 'a purpose which filled Christendom with glowing admiration fllr the enterprise. The sud den death cifi Henry the Fourth of Eng,• land, prevented him and his Christian legions from visiting the sacred ground where the holy sepulchre was in the hands of the infideli but nothing short of death • could have prevented the execution of that intrepid monarch's design. Here we have a stupendousischeme of piety, inaugurated and abandoned, without any cause, except that given by the Gazeete, that there is now no occasion fOr such a gathering, because Gen. McClelllin has been relieved of the command of :`the, entire army: What is there in thaticircumstauee to render the proposed, contention uneecessary 7 "The civil and religious liberty " of the people of "the nev. , ivorld " is not dependant up on that &dela:dicer's elevation or dismis sal ; and 114,,)3eing of a pious disposition himself, would be among the first to ren der more secitire the inestimable blessings suggested 14 jhe circular proposing the convention. i We trust tiftft the magnificent conception in question lvill not be abandoned. We ought to have latch a gathering as it pro poses. Theillnels out of joint, and after the eommitt . el on resolutions would re port in favor x,t. civil and religions liberty in the new wo r ld, another convention, with Forney for cliairman, would suggest. the propriety of eilriking the " Star Spangled Banner" froill the list of our national anthems and lailbstituting for it the more pious and prftlittic effusion of-- "John Brown' ibudy lies hiunide.ieg in his grave," LI But hii BOUi is Miivuhing on." PRE EFFECT OF CALUMNY. Constant drllpping will wear away a atone. The v;eice of calumny, continu• ally directed against any individual, how ever strict maybe his integrity, will even tually, even thtlligh he may long resist the baneful influe4e, undermine the virtue implanted witlli d n and render him not only regardlesi of 4sequencea, but defiant of opinion and la*. No weapon is so effec tual in drivine an honest man from the path of rectitude as the tongue of slander. For instance, a Man of unblemished char acter is unfortuinately the brother of one who has violated the laws of morality and the community "in which he resided—is, in short, a thief An unscrupulous indi vidual, who hasiCause of enmity against the honest man, •Seeks to injure him, and, cautiously and . insiduously, characterizes him as a thief,lColoring his assertion by a reference to the known proclivities of the erring brother. The poison is circu lated by others Interested like the origi nator of tile clllumny, or their dupes, who repeat ign4rantly what they have heard whispered) from a pure love of gos sip. The victizuleel, the shaft, but knows not the unseen Lind that sped it. He is constantly looked upon with suspicion and distrust—old; friends avoid him—old employers send lllm adrift upon the world and none will teat him in. He soon learns the cause of this treatment from some real friend and :struggles manfully to re gain his old position in society, but in vain; even the' cowardly calumniator cannot give an antidotWor the poison. It has done its work, Which is soon made mani- fest in the utter ruin of its victim, who, embittered by the' undeserved opprobium cast upon him and hopeless of a happier future, plunges ilto excesses and joins hands with his fallen brother in his career of crime. Thus may an upright and useful member of society be driven, by a systematic course Of persecution, to crimes from which his conscience utterlr - revolts. The Democrat*party is now exactly in the position of thisipersecuted man. Prior to the rebellion in! the South, its leaders were politically rulciated with the Demo cracy of the Northktud, although immedi ately after their attack upon the flag at Sumter, we discarded them, and evidenced our sincerity by jciliaing heartily with the administration inl iits efforts to punish treason, we have ever since been the vic tims of the foule4 aspersions and the blackest calumny. ;111 the enthusiasm of the first rush to arms, party bickerings were forgotten, momentarily by our oppo• nents, while with uS there was a universal desire to fraternize even with destructives for the restoration of our glorious Union and the preservation of our tevered 'Con stitution, Bat having been in political affiliation with the revolutionists, we were charged with a secret sympathy in their designs, and distrust followed, despite the thous ands of men and millions of money we laid at the feet of the government to aid in carrying on the war against our rebellious brethren, who had added to the crime of treason to the government that of a be trayal of their political allies. At first the charges made against us were laughed to scorn by sensible men, who regarded them as the idle ravings of fanatics, but ere long, when the bitterness of party strife was reinstated, they were more seriously arged and more attentively regarded.' Politicians took the cue and made their vile assertions stronger and more boldly, until a few months since, when, in the heat of a political contest, partizan jour nals of the Republican school had the ef frontery to charge that every man who voted the Democratic ticket was a traitor to his country. This was reiterated in so many shapes that at last it came to be be lieved by many that we were really the monsters represented, plotting for the de struction of the government. They voted accordingly, but the justice of our cause and the injustice of our persecution was so apparent, that, notwithstanding the powerful efforts of the radicals, we tri umphed. And well for us that we did— as the system• inaugurated before the elec tion, already so galling to men more loyal than their accusers, would by this time have ripened into such a crushing, tyrran ical series of oppressions as must have re sulted in resistance, riot and bloodshed.— Even now, in the face of the rebuke which has just been administered to them in their defeat, these men still repeat their false charges against our loyalty and have even gone so far as to say that the late inaction of our army in the East (for which, doubt less, the government had good reasons,) was part of an organized conspiracy be- tween Democratic leaders and Democratic generals to prevent a vigorous prosecu tion of the war. Now what would be the natural result of these persistent attacks upon the loyalty and integrity of the Democratic party ? We believe human nature is the seine throughout the world; and under the eon- timed reiteration of such charges, any party, with the sentiment of loyalty and respect for law no more strongly inculca ted than in the principles of our oppo nents, would succumb and prpve recreant. Like the man pursued by causeless slan- der the tendency would be to make us the traitors we are called. Had such a policy been pursued towards the border States, instead of one of concession and concilia tion, they would long ere this have beep irrevocably linked with their Southern bretheren in the rebellion. McCLELLAN We direct the reader's attention to'a article from ,the Washington Yla.r, dis cussing the removal of General Mc- Clellan, republished in another coluinn of this paper. The star and the littfl ligencer are the only papers published at the capital in whose statements much re liance can be placed. From it we learn why the commander of the army of the Potomac pail no attention to HaHeck's blundering orders, preferring to comma= nicate directly with the President him; self. This explains Ha!leek's charges of disobedience. In this connection the reader will not fail to note that, although General Hal leck, in his lay! , communication to the War Department, proved that McClellan had more than enough of evetything the army wanted, to utterly destroy the rebels in Virginia, the government, as the tele graph of Satinlay morning informed us, sent to Gen. Burnside fifteen hundred horses. If the army under McClellan, a few days ago, was so amply provided where was the use in those additional quadru-„, peds? • Per the Post. A Question which Maj. Gon.

Front the day ha won "Antietam ?" McClellan The New York Express says : "A little regard for time and place will, however, show the inconsistency of the pretended grounds of McClellan's re moval. If all along he has been at heart so faithless to his arms and to his army, why has he been kept in command so long? Why did the President himself so licit him, after Pope's second Bull Run defeat, and when Washington itself was in actual peril, to resume the command? Why, if he was `peremptorily disobe dient,' as was alleged, October 6th, was he kept in command till November Bth, until after the New York election, arid then, when he had peremptorily obeyed, and was in the fall career of a brilliant march upon the enemy, why then was he summarily dismissed from his command?? "The pretended cause for his removal existed October 6th ,• his actual removal did not take place till a month after that, when, to the fullest extent, he was obe dient to the Commander-in-Chief. The fact is, 13pwever, that in the Quartermas ter's Department, and in all the Ober Washington Departthents, there have been all along a series of the most mischievous intrigues to cripple, and, if possible, to destroy Gen. McClellan—just such in trigues as divided up the Grand Army of the Potomac into three parts, under Gen eral Banks, General McDowell and General McClellan, the intrigue being to bring either General Banks or General McDow ell into Richmond before it was possible for General McClellan, stripped of over a third of his forces, to get there." A Government Contraotor in Dif- flculty. A letter from Washington incidentally shows up some of the amusements of the city in this way : "A certain contractor, whose name is ---, is said to have visited a gambling bowie, situated on E street, between 1 hir teenth and Fourteenth streets, last night, where he played at faro, and lost two hundred and seventy-five thousand bush els of oats, valued at seventy-five cents per bushel, amounting to $206,250. The oats were stored away here to be deliver ed to the Government to-day. Mr. Con tractor left this morning for Baltimore, in a state of mind bordering on insanity. The securities are good men, and it is thought that the Government will not lose anything by the transaction."

We Liml the followin is the Newl . orli" i i 7 papers, and give it fo the benefit of alt' concerned: , , - To lox. HORATIO OKYrkIOUR : SIR-At the recent election in this State the people invested You with a power greater than that whichwill attach to your office merely. The m ral power which belongs to public opin on is centered on you. The people have said of you, "Be t held the exponent of our views :" and have said to you, "Our'lotto is Lex Rex." I appeal, therefore, to the political prisoner in the United t ion on behalf of States who have been the subjects of arbi• trary arrests and imp isonment, and to whom hitherto a trialhas been denied, More particularly do I rge upon your fit -1 tention the prisoners ai, present in Fort Warren and Port Lafayette. When I left some of them in Fort Lafayette,. a year ago, they had again and "again demanded a trial, according to the COustitution and the laws of the land, and n each weary day since, - until now, have ey, renewed that reasonable demand. E t the ears of the Chief. Magistrate have been deaf. The } IL people of the; country, however, have re sponded that the prisoners should be re leased or tried at once,and, if not found guilty, shall have honoilable remuneration for their wrongs. To hasten that Consum mation is a part of your mission. It is the public expectation i that you will ac complish it. I venturd . , therefore, to re quest that you and the' other Democrats and Conservatives who have recently been elected to Congress willmnite in a petition to the President that he will forthwfth open the doors of the Military prison, or else at once cause the inmates who are po litical prisoners to be fairly tried accord ing to law, if indeed there be any char ges made against them. Their weight of character as citizens, your representative character from the people, and the intrin sic rightfulness of the demand, will now render the acquiescence of the President certain. , I am led to urge this application through you, because no other third party can make such an application, as you will per. ceive by the following extract which .was read to the prisoners la Fort Lafayette, by Lieutenant Wood, the commandant of the post. The letter i l k -as written by a commissioner who came from the State Department about one year ago— "To the Political Prisoners in Fort La ! fayette: "I am instructed by Ithe Secretary of State to inform you that the Department of State of the United States will not rec ognize any one as an attorney for political prisoners, and will lookl with distrust up. on all applications foil release through such channels, and thatsuch applications will be regarded as additional reasons for declining to release the prisoners:' Secondly—Because an agent of the goy. ernment, while endeavdring to persuade prisoners to take certain proposed forms of oaths stated that "it Were nest to take them, for the government would not, give . them a trial ; no not, if ihey stayed there for twenty years.'' And, thirdly, because It is idle to talk in general terms about preserving any law or liberty in this country' so long as this violation of both is tolerated before our eyes. No surer evident of the decay of public virtue can be given than popular indifference to such wrongs upon individ ual citizens. When a community ire not sensitive to injuries perpretrated upon their humblest member, by an abuse of r power, they are but one step from ignominy and ruin. Prisoners grown old therein, when their mouldy cells were opened at last by the flat of the people, walked forth with an enfeebled memory, which could scarce ly recall when they were entombed; and there was no man livirg. in France who remembered anything abou it. Again, pray you, do what you can to let dayligi and justice into your Basilic.' Respectfully, A I,4;Kitxris SYI)Nri: New York, Nov. 8. 181;2. 2'; Wall stree A Visit to the litattle c riold of Ma nassas. A letter from Gainesvill , Va. of the 13th, says: A few days ago we moan d our steed and rode from here to the batte-field of Man• asses. There were many i things to view And projectiles of all kinds still lie scat tered over the ground in prolusion. True, curiosity-seekers had carried a great deal oft; but there yet remains enough to attest the fierceness of the battlel fought there.-- Sturdy oaks are felled by ilhell and ball.— Large indentations are visible in many of the trses, and these all point out the va ried character of.the hrii)g. Some were struck close to the roots, and others six.. and ten feet from the grohnd. In many places the ground was pled up by the flying shells, andiStill remains so. Long rows of continuoini graves are dis stributed for several mileslover the field. Trenches, too, extend over a great portion of the ground. Here and there may be seen a solitary grave, with a small board ; at, the head, to designate him who lies covered with the sod, and at others there is nothing to denote the occupant of the quiet, narrow cell. I What was, most repulsiv'e to the sight was a number of skulls that lay exposed to the views of passers-by. I One spot, in particular, more especially arrested our at tention. It was a little mound. The earth had been carelessly thrown p. Beneath it lay the body of one of the • 'ctime • of the battle. He was deposited nit just as he had fallen—the clothing re aining on.— The grave was hardly a foot deep-, and the earth was so loosely throw over it that the winds and rains had own it from his head. It lay expose) to view, a ghastly, grinning skeleton, ) leached per fectly white by sun and rain. The cap still remained on; and, thotigh we were fully impressed with the Solemnity that surrounded that spot, the ludicrous was, nevertheless, very suggestive. At any other place than a battle-fie d, we might v have supposed it to be the ork of some medical -student, who desired a little fun at the expense of an inanimqe form. But this was a dire reality. Other bodies were but slightly covered with the soil; aud, when the heavy snows and long rains of winter come, they, too, will be exposed. Curiosities of the Mail. A letter from Washington ;contains the • o owing: "Among the articles sent by soldiers, through the mail, and, which broke through their envelopes, and were picked up in the Washington Post Office, is a live ter rapin. The animal was found two or.three days since in good health. • A soldier had sent it to a friend. Yesterday a-still more singular thing came to light in the same office—a human finger. A soldier, having lost a finger by amputation, first dried,it and then sent it to a friend in England ! As he enclosed it in a newspaper, instead of paying letter postage on if, the docu• • went was stopped here." That's What's the Matter." We have at last found theitrue origin of this popular phrase, in the following, clipped from an exchange. this too good to be lost: A friend of ours, who had heen absent all winter, returning a few days since, called upon an estimable lady friend. He was surprised to find her confined to a sick bed. After the first salutations:were over, Our friend remarked, " Why, 14rs. U—, what is the matter?" Quickly reaching over to the back of the bed, the invalid turned down the coverliti, dificlosing a beautiful infant, wrapt in the ethbraces of the rosy god, and said triumphantly, That's what's the matter !

In another artele Colonel Medary thus expresses his viva of these arrests. He says: "It is imposible for Democrats to en joy their victoree as they should, know ing that many )1 their friends, as is be lieved and knows, are lying in loathsome prisons, for no ober reason than that they are Democrats, ike themselves. If these men are not rehased from their dark and dreary confinetrents, or brought to a speedy trial, anc that before the proper constitutional auhorities, there will be an uprising of popukr sentiment and indigna tion, such as fewpersons can imagine be fore they see it.

They have caused men to be .ore from their beds at mid hours of night, from their wives and children, from their business and friends, ruined in their firtunes, stigmatized be fore the world, and all this without warrant of law, without any charges being preferred, without trial, without any legal process, and taken oaf to to close prisons, and no :me permitted to visit them as relatives or [Mottle vs. In these places of confinement, many of them, if not all, loathsotnevith disease and vermin, they have been cept for months and months, insulted 4 their keepers, robbed, if' they had money; by the thieves who hang round as doers of small chores, by the sale of protterei favors. "These things tin not only susceptible of proof; but will be proven in one season, as the people will never let them pass un til they wash their hands of the iniquity and place it on the shoulders of those who aer Farmers Lose by Dirty Whea It seems almost incredible that, w clear prod before iman's eyes, he should persist in a plan by which he grows poor er every year, and loses moneys and a good name, where he could easier make money and win credit. Our grain-groWers, many of them, con tinue the careless and discreditable custom of bringing turnarket poorly cleaned grain, and in every instance they lose' at least 10 per neut. for such fully. If any farmer doubts this statement, let him go to the mills where he sells his grain, and get them to show him how that dirty,grain is clean ed before it is ground. Let him ace the chaff that is separated from his wheat— let him see the - hog-feed and chicken-feed that the miller sells from his own wheat, and then let hitit ask himself if the miller is expected to do all this work, lose all the weight of this chaff, and then pay him the sante price as he does his neighbor for well-cleaned wheat? The fact is, the grain-grower that carries poorly cleaned grain to market ttenerall, pays fur the cleaning his own wheat. iirst selling his pain at ten cents a bushel less than the market rate, because it is dirty, then loses in weight, and finally buys hog-feed and chicken teed of his miller, and hauls it home again—adding more labor, and re ceiving less returns, for what he has al ready done. When will farmers grow wise, and clean their grain well, save their own feed. carry only such grain to market as will win a high price and good name.

IMPORTANT-IF TRUE Side-wheel Steamer Chased Consul for Liberia .Ilecognized FROM FORTRESS MONROE &a., &c., &c., &a Isinw YORK, Nov. 17.—The Tribune says we are creditably informed that clandes tine negotiations have been opened be tween certain Democratic leaders in this city, and the head traitors at Richmond, looking to a reconstrucdon on the follow ing Igu•IH: First—The States now in rebellion are to elect members to the present Congress, who are to present themselves at Wash ington, and claim seats in said Congress on or before the first day of January next. The members are to be fully in the rebel interests, but are not to be persons who have so conspicuously participated in ac tive treason as to be liable to conviction as traitors within the strict definition of the Federal Constitution. Second—The House being so fitted, will at once have a conjoint conservative and rebel majority, who will proceed to notify the President that the rebellion is sub stantially ended ; that the rebel States are all duly represented in the House; that consequently his proclamation of free• dom is null and void, and slavery fully under the protection of the Constitution. Third—Congress, thus reconstituted, is to proceed forthwith to repeal all acts bearing hard up)n the traitors of the last two years, and to pass such others as may be necessary to secure perfect immunity and impunity to them all. Fourth—A Convention of States is to be called, werein the united conservative Democratic and rebel strength is expected to be overwhelming, and is to be pledged beforehand to make whatever changes in the Constitution the staveholding and slavebreeding interests may deem essen tial to the!r own future security and per manent well-being. These are, in substance, the conditions forwarded from this city to Richmond by the first envoy, but we do not learn that they were accepted; on the contrary, we understand they were not, the rebel chiefs still insisting on disunion, as the basis of peace, but not absolutely closing the door against further negotiations, and accord ing to our judgment, a second embassy from our conservatives is now in Rich mond, or is well on its way thither; hence we may expect to hear further within a few days.
