- The Pittshurgh Gazette we,' always a
most malignant and impracticable journal,
but since it has abandoned its leading
editorial column:to the control of an
egotist,. whose vanity is only equalled by
his fanaticism, it has become an organ of
mere malice and personal abuse. The
discontented gentleman, who has, for
some time been airing his personal griev.
antes through that quarter, it seems to ns,
quite overleaps his mark. His minute
account of the corruption of certain parties
in the State, and his whining over the fact
of his - being . excluded . from participating
in certain legislative investigations,imacka
of disappointment, coming from one who
is restless with the acute sensation of "an
itching palm." But this -being none of
our, or our party's business, we will par•
sie it no further.

The Gazette, in this paragraph, an
nounces only what has been the secret
determination of the . extreme Radicals
ever .since the iehellion began. These
70 - itiernts:s never wanfid - rarly fellowship
with the Southern States ; they abused
and goaded them into rebellion ; and,
now, that they are crippled, our Adminis
tration is compelled to resort to con-i
scription, in order to carry out the infa-1
mous designs of subjugating the entire;
Southern people and giving immediate
freedom to their slaves. This has been
the secret desigli of the Radicals from the
commencement ; and, now that the rebel
lion is tumbling, they are openly proclaim
ing it. Because we, the other day, ob
jetted to drafting men for any such par
pose, the blatherskite we have been no
tieing howled out copperhead, making
some dark allusions to lamp -posts and
ropes. But now we have the Gazette's
announcement that it favors the conscrip
tion of white men, sot to fight for the
unity of the States, but primarily for the
enforcement of the edicts of emancipation
and confiscation. We can have no fur
ther dispute on this point, and so we leave
it to the consideration of our readers.

brief extract of the Inaugural Address of
President Lincoln. With the oath of
office, before Almighty God, and in pres
ence of assembled thousands, he said:
have no yourpoie, directly or indirect/y to
interfere with the institution of shivery in the Stat e ,
do et wh er c, e it
and exists.
have no I in cl i na tio n bel
n ehe to do no lawful right to
so."
Notwithstanding this he was forced by
the Abolitionists to issue a proclamation
giving freedom to the slaves; and, now
that they have it, we a e informed that no
terms of union will be considered by 'them
until every slate in the - South is fiee.

• WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
Some of the more sanguinary of the
extreme Southern papers, appear deter
mined indeed to prepare for expiring in
that last ditch, in which they have so fie
quentlYdeclared their intention of making
their hot stand. A maleness consdrip
don is announced, which drags every man,
isjthin the limits of the Confederacy, be
keen the ages of eighteen and forty•five,
into the rebel service ; while—as we men

Jotisnals are_absolutely chacklingiaver_its

fancy gamblers, who have, 'heretof4e;
succeeded-in avoiding the hardships of
the war. ThiS looks like desperation in
deed. A willingness to Bea acountryde•
populated and a cause defeated, in order
that a certain class should'bear a , portion
of the misery entailed, looks like sporting
with calamity and welcoming a cruel and
eu inevitable fate.

Alex: McClure is improving his leisure
hours, between raids, by editing the "fle
poaitory" of Chambersburg, and has, after
much tribulation fairly entered upon the
campaign. He is not overly delighted
with the Democratic nominees for Gov
ernor and Supreme Judge, and seems
puzzled to know where to commence the
attack. The prospect of capturing our
candidates or bagging the Democracy this
fall, is not so clear, even to Alexander's
optics, as the party is so firmly entrenched
in right, and fortified in principle, as to
be oerfactly safe from the short range
popguns of the.opposition.

PROVOST MARSHAL'S OFFIL7E,
22d DISTRICT OF PEN 'A
,
,Vr. Editor: A communication
your paper of this morning, signed "Cres
cent," reflects very severely on the Dep
uty Provost Marshal of the 22d district.
I happen to have the honor of filling tlifit
, position, and as the article has misled
some of my friends, I think a correction
'should be made. The writer has made
the mistake of confounding the Deputy
Provost Marshal of the District with the
Special Deputy, (who is generally the en
rolling officer) of a particular township.
I have nothing whatever to do with ser
ving notices, either with or without du
plicate, and the writer has probably unin
tentionally pitched into me, instead of the
Special Deputy, who served the notices.
By, correcting the mistake, you will great
ly oblige,
Yours, respectfully,
CHAS. W. MCHENRY,
Deputy Provost Marshal, 22d Dls
Pittsburgh, Pa., July 24th 183,
The Way to b eoure Victory.
We are glad to learn that the good work
bf th oroughly organizing the Democratic
party is earnestly progressing throughout
the. State. The approaching meeting of
the Democratic State Central Committee
will add a new impetus to,this movement.
The able and energetic chairman, the iron-
Charles J. Biddle, will be found equal to
every emergency ; and, we have no doubt,
that under his direction, the campaign
will be vigorously an energetically prose
cuted. Bat he must have the hearty
co-operation of every Democrat in Penn•
sylvania. There must be no individual
lukewarm:a:less manifested intha present
_ , -time
~
stiuggle. 'At n in in the history of
onrparty, were.greater personal exertions
necessary. , Success is within our grasp.
We have onlyto reach forth our hands
to secure it. The: people are i eady to
strike a blow which wilt forever prostrate
the power of Abolitionism. To make the
victory complete and overwhelming, we ,
must wheel the whole Democratic column
into line, and present an unbroken and
undivided front to the enemy.
There is a well-grounded sad firm be
lief among the
_people, that the Democrat
ic party is the only,organization that can
save the conutry..:They hive witnessed
an abuse and mal-adriiinistration of power,,
on the part`of the Abolitionists that cause's

of a continuance 'of these evils. They;

citizen assailed, and the constitutional
rights of they• State invaded - II a party
is hose only object now- seems to be the
emancipation of the slaves and the equal
ity of the negro with the white freemetiofj
the Republic. They have heard it boldly
proclaimed by the Jacobins that "this war
is for the African and his race:;" and they I
have been appalled by the infamous an

latione, &o. . -
ACAFAstyceo:v, July Nth, - 1
The movement under the , leaderahip of
Mr. Seward, hav;ng for its object the offer
of-liberal - conceesione to the insorgents
and the ending of the present war, live re-
ceived an impetis from the r,Z , vvii which •
has just reached - here from our foreign
ministers in Loudon and Paris, It is now
admitted by thB most-'sanguine members •
of the administration that never were our
foreign affairs irrso menacing a state.—
England—so the official 'advice° indicate
--has determined to furnish the South
with an iron clad navy, including ships,
guns and seamen. It. is equally certain
that the Emperor of France has nutlet up
his mind definitely to interfere in our do
mestic affairs. It is true that at the date
of the last advices
.from abroad the im
pression was general in Europe that Lee
would defeat Meade's army, Washington
be captured and Baltimore and Philadel
phia seized, white the Northern States
seemed apathetic and indisposed to con
tinue the war; but the condition of things
only finally determined the English and
French governments to pursue a policy
which they had all along been prepared
to pursue, and which comported ' with
their interests and sympathies.
The changed condition of affairs due to
lhe fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson.
and the rebel defeat at Gettysburg, will
not, it is believed by the most sagacious
of the friends of the Administration alter
the character of the action which b l rance
and England have finally determined to
adopt. The appearance or a fleet of French
vessels at New Orleans, to protect the in
terests of the creole population at that
point, and the sailing of a very large iron
clad fleet from the English ports,
i are cer
tain to take place. Indeed, it s under
stood here that the real peril to the North
will come when it is apparent to the Empe
ror Napoleon and the British Cabinet that
there is a strong probability of the over.
throw of the South as a military power.
so long as the contest was an even one,
they could afford to be neutral and let the
-matter be fought out ; but the moment
there is a danger of the North overpower
ing the South, then intervention will be
tried to compel a separation upon which
both England and France are determined—
Ragland to cripple the power of this great
republic, and Frarcer to preserve her do
minion in Mexico. There fade doubt that
if the North and South were to come to
gether, France would immediately - be com
pelled to relinquisb'her hold-upon Mexico,
and this Louts Napoleon is determined
shall not happen. Hence, it is argued, he
will take time by the forelock, aid the
South against the North, earn a title to its
gratitude, and thus retain his hold upon
Mexico and pursue hie Bohemia in - Central
America. Rngland is aware. that should
the Union be restored, it will find both'
North and South embittered against her,
and ready for war. It is a matte] of cot.-
taint,—and the English understand it
we.;—that the American republic will fol•
low Itie tsnn pie c! the old Homan repnb
tic which always embarked upon a foreign
war utter a civil convulsion, so as to induce
a unity of national spirit.
With these indications before them, and
w,ea the unofficial dispatches of our min
isters and consuls abroad, Mr. Seward
and the President are convinced that this
is the most critical time, so far as r cards
our relations with foreign Powers, that we
have had since the commencement of the
war. We cannot afford to permit Eng
land to destroy our commerce, nor allow
France to pursue her design ou New Or
leans. This state of affairs has made the
President and Secretary of State anxious
to settle up our pre - Sera. quarrel. They
see very clearly the straits of Jeff. Davis
and the rebel government—indeed, their
absolute despair—as is shown by the call
for a levy en masse of the fighting popula
tion cf the whole South, and they believe
that proper measures taken now would re
store the Union and put an end to the
present unhappy war. From what I hear
I ern inclined to believe that meaeures are
now on toot looking to this end, and that
it is not impossible that we may see a
sudden change of parties in the United
6tates within the next month—that Gov,
Seymour, Vallandigham, and the odds
and ends of the democratic party, and the
conservative republicans, may be found to
be the warm supporters of President Lin
coln and his able Secretary of State;
while the republican presses and orators—
the Sumners, Phillipees, aeons, Wades,,
Chandlers, with the Triune, Times,. Post,
and all the agency of the radicals—will be
brought to bear in an opposition party
against the reunion that will be proposed
by the President. Of course the whole ;
shoddy interest in the war, and the enor
moue sums interested in the movements of
the armies," will he bitterly opposed to any
adjustment. But the prospect of peace,
North and South, will, tt is believed, rally
the bulk of the people of the North to the
standard of the administration, provided
it will decide on some such course.
The letter of the Solicitor General
(Whiting), asserting that the administra
tion must continue in its negro policy, no
matter what emergency arises, is under
stood to he the occasion of that 'gentle
man being sent abroad. His letter-was a
move on the part of the radicals to cern
mit the government unofficially to; the
tiegro policy. His being set aside at this.
'time is. an indication that,different court
'eels are beginning to prevail in the White
'House, and there is 'hope that the whole I
.Abolition gang thrown oat.
Of course, - re-anion at this stage of the
,war will involve the 'n4esitity ol the ad
'ministration changing its abolition policy.
The roramme is that he Territories, I
as de c id e d , in the recent t Congress, shall;
remain fr ee forever, thus preventing the I
extension of Slavery. Slaves freed by the
march of our armies will remain free.
Missouri is to become a free State, es she
has chosen to be,
and Maryland and Dela
ware may also be free if they should so
decide. • Bat the other slave States are to
retain such of their slaves as WM' be under
the actual control o f
,theonasters at the
'end cf the war, Mr. Seward arsues that •
• slavery has received a Tildiv in this country
from which it can never recover, and that
it would be better to leave the natural )
Causes at work to end it than to ednvert
the South into a desert by depriving it of
its laboring population. It is understood
that this plan will not shit the radicals,
and the embarrassment of Mr. Lincoln
bow is, not to bring about a - reunite' so
much as to know whet to do with his petty
is case he attbuld_ctinse:ef re.a.4le4m The
situation is a perplexing one, and will call
out all the sagacity and administrative
ability of the people in power.—N. .1 7

FEAG SPIIPELACKHASEN., Ore VICKSEUTIG,

Lieut. Commander Selfridge divided his

that the steamers which had conveyed
Walker's army had returned up Washita,
the expedition started up that river and

bat the rebels set them on fire aud.they
were consumed. One Steamer lO:ndefi

sailable with wooden gunboats. It is on
an elevation over one hundred feet high.
Lieut Selfridge was fortunate, however,
to hear of a large quantity of ammunition
that had lately been hauled from Natchez,
and deposited at Trinity, nearly due west
of Natchez, and from whence stores, pro
visions, cattle, guns and ammunition were
transported. He captured 15,000 rounds
smooth bore ammunition, 305 rounds En
field, and 224 rounds fixed ammunition,
62 hogsheads sugar, 10 puncheons rum,
9 barrels flour and 60 barrels salt, all be
longing to the Confederate Government.
Walker's army is left almost entirely with
out ammunition. The officers have shown
great energy in this expedition, and have
met with no mishap : They procured a
good deal of information, by wilieh future
movements will be regulated. They peo
pie in that region are very hostile to the
Government. They are rank rebels.
