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. Ha
leek Won't Answer.
If, before Corinth. you laid ninety days,
Pleasing the foe with masterly delays,
Failing, at last, to beat 'mu:
How long Mould you have given ••Little Mac,
To wake all ready for a grand attack.
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."
WATER is now introduced into San
Francisco through an aqueduct extend
inic to Lake Houda, a distance of some
thirty-two miles. Through this flume,
which is sixteen by thirty inches in its
dimensions, water flows at the rate of
three millions of gallons a day.

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.'

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

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.

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.
