The delegatee to this unnecessary gath ering, whose candidates and platform are so certain of overwhelming rejection by the people, are arriving in the city, and, from what we learn, there is likely to be a BaviJj>e contest for its empty honors. The guerrillas and bushwhackers are determin ed to slaughter Oartin, because Cameron and Forney, and other honest men like ttem, object to swindling the government In horse and other contracts. We are not •ware who it is that Is to expose Curtin’s alleged-operations, bat presume that it will be done by some honest and compe tent peison like Alexander Cummings, the gentleman o whom Cameron, while Sec retary of War, entrusted the fingering of two millions of dollars, and by which he realised the Bang sum of sixty thousand, in the way of “commissions.” '1 he opposition to Curtin is to be led by the indomitable Thomas Williams, of A 1 legheny. One of the delegates from this eoucly, we understand, is to give Mr. W illiams hla place in the convention, in order that Cartin’s defeat may be ren dered certain. 'We would suggest to the convention—in view of the weather and a close room —that a resolution confining the speakers to half honr speeches be adopted immediately after its permanent organisation. If this is neglected, and onr highly esteemed fellow-citizen obtains the floor, the convention will not reach the first ballot before Saturday evening. Severs! - f the delegates are personal c: ours, and we do not wish to 1.-.-, .hem talked to death, a mode of dy ing we know that they abhor. A PfIESIDENTIAL TOUR. It is announced that President Lincoln ; intends shortly to seek temporary relie from the cares and anxietieß ot his great office, by taking a journey through New England. While in Massachusetts- we trust that his Excellency will endeavor to ascertain from Gov, Andrew how it is that that State is so backward in responding to the draft. That high Abolition func tionary, nearly a year ago, informod the War Department that the people of his State considered it a heavy draught upon their patriotism, to enlist for the purpose of driving rebel invaders from the soil of Pennsylvania. But he declared that if the President would but issue an emanci pation proclamation, the State would literally swarm with bounding patriots, eager and determined to crash the rebel lion and give welcome to the four millions of en franchised slaves. The President gave Andrew the desired proclamation, but where are the swarms of enthusiastic volunteers furnished by Gov. Andrew ? And where are the “ nine hundred thous and ” promised upon the same occasion add conditions,by Horace Greeley 7 The President fulfilled his part of tho bargain, by issuing his “ bull against the comet,” but bow have the Abolition leaders res ponded ? Their response is a corscrip tion law to fill the army with nnwilliDg soldiers, to fight, not for the restoration of the Union, but to effect what the ball against the comet has failed to accomplish —the emancipation of the Sontbern slaves. This, we are now told by the leading Rad icals, is the object of the war. If the President himself has not yet ful ly arrived at this determination, we think bis coining visit to New England will se cure his hearty co operation. He is yielding in bis disposition, and after co miogling with the fierce fanatics of the ex treme East, and listening to the daring rhetoric of Wendei Phillips, and the clas sic plagerism of Charles Sumner, he will, doubtless, return to Washington, fally indoctrinated in all the radical plans. We will then see a Chief Magistrate, who, open the day of bis inauguration, declared bis sole ausiety was for the preservation of bis country —that he had no power or de • fire to interfere with the local institutions of the States—the willing instrument of jgn extreme class of anti-slaveiy agitators, whose object was and is the disruption of this Union, and whose principal champions are now advocating not only negro equal ity, bat amalgamation. Bat, before the President starts upon his proposed tonr, to receive fresh inspiration from the lead ing radicals, be should regale himself by the careful perusal of a work recently pub lished, containing Phillips’ Speeches. In one of them, delivered in 1856, he said: “ There is merit in the Republican party. It is tho first sectional party ever organ ized in this country. It is the North ar rayed against the South. The first crack in the iceberg is visible. You will tet UA3 IT SO WITH A CRASH THROUGH IHS OSHTREI” Now be declares his work as an Aboli tionist is done, because the Union is gone; hereafter bis efforts will be devoted to the amalgamation of white people with hia emancipated slaves. THE ESCAPE OP GEN. LEE A Washington correspondent of the Boston Commonwealth says: 11 The escape of Lee from the nervelest grasp of the Army of the Potomac, is still, of course, the theme of all tongnea in the capital' It need hardly be said that on all hands , it.ls regarded as the greatest blunder of . the sear. istioh, indeed, were the preciseioords ‘ The Vice JPrestdent was' more emphatic; afid in the heit of the excitement onhhe ground, be declared that this alone threw the war into another year. THE LABOR OP GRANT, ... People have been wondering, a kifit the sifew jftmfislfewhat tnd ever-aCtiye, never-ceasibg workers General Grant," has beeirifimngeinOK theFourtif of July- He has nbt,.begn parad ing hia laufele, ndf'blowingliS-Hrofipt- s '* nor even, like Hercules, slier thelfwelve labors, .hai.he_subsided.. The telegraph, relieves our anxiety for him. “General Grant has perfected a complete system of mounted patrols _ between 1 icksburg and. New Orleans, which, with the gunboats, affords ample protection to vessels.”— Thus has this great soldier put the- finish touch to the gigantic work which was be gun by him two years ago. EXPLOSIVE MUSKET BALL. A letter from the Southern army Baye, that in skirmishing, which preceded the evacuation of Jackson by Johnston, the rebels used an explosive musket ball cf the most destructive and barbarous char acter. These balls are of the Minie pat tern, sixty-nine calibre and filled with ful minuting powder, covered at the base with a cap. On striking any object they ex plode with a terrible effect. One of these terrible missies struck one of our men in the leg, shattering tho bone into nineteen pieces. The effect of the wound ot a simple Minie ball is always considered ol a dangerous character, but the new ball above described is positively barbarouß. The new balls are of English fabrication and have recently been furnished to John. Bton’s army. SECRETARY tTANTON HOIS TED BY HIS OWN PETARD. Secretary Stanton said the other day, “If a single regiment of Lee’s army gets back into Virginia, in an organized condi tion, it will prove that I am totally unfit to be Secretary of War.” If this is not “treason,” says the Boston Courier, according to the republican standard, we are at a loss wbat to make of it. It is casting odium upon the govern ment, in the perßon ol the actually osten sible manager of the war. In a democrat ic newspaper, there would bo no doubt it would be reckoned treason, secession, complicity with Jefferson Davis ; in a word, everything hideous to contemplate that is, would be so designated by repub licana. Still, as facts prove, by every principle of logic, the “Amen’' of the Springfield paper is entitled to a universal echo. Massachusetts Conscript Camps. The subjoined account of a visit to the camp of the Massachusetts conscripts at Long Island is from the Boston Tra r ;!!n- There are now nearly rive hundred ton scripts and substitutes in the camp at l.oi g Island, About eighty were sent lu vr.mp yesterday. The last boat took down six teen from Lawrence and six from the Fonrth district.. Among the latter was a Btout colored man, who went as substitute for another colored man. He hud been trying for several days to get such a chance, and he thought he was well paid when he received $55 from his principal. He says he is bound to fight, and necept the first chance to get into service. As the con scripts are received they are formed into a provisional regiment, which is in com mand of Colonel Pierce. Provisional companies are also organized, to which a proper complement ot officers are assign ed. From some of the regiments to which officers named above belong, Bix privates have been detailed and sent here, and these, with a detachment of the UBih Ohio, constitute the principal gaard upon the island. A few of the conscripts have been intrusted with that doty and it is probable that some of those who seem most trustworthy will be selected to re main at theisland as a permanent guard for the camp. On Monday night there were several attempts of conscripts to escape, and one party of two or three succeeded in getting off the island, although fired upon by the guard. The body ot one man is reported to have washed ashore yester day morning. He was probably drowned in attempting to escape. Yesterday a dis patch was received from Adjutant General Townsend, at Washington, directing that the men in camp be Bent forward as soon as possible,and it is probable that a steam er load will go from the island this week. There are some six or eight colored mes among the oonsoripts. These are employ ed principally upon the wharf, as they manifest no disposition to desert. One of them was taken as a substitute for a white man, pud he says he shall be treat ed like a white man, and go into a white regiment; that if sent to a colored regi ment he shall cut his own throat. Adventnre of a Slassnchneetts Ofllrlul Among ilie AnU-Drafi«rt. [From the Boston Traveller.) A well known official of this state took a trip to Vermont and New Hampshire the ether day, traveling in a carriage with his wife. He waa in New Hampshire abont the time of the riots in New York andßoßton, and heard frequent threats of resistance to the draft there, In some places the excitement .was so great that there Beemed to be danger of immediate violenoe. In passing from Plymouth to Center Harbor he came to the foot of a very long bill, and looking np he saw what appeared to bo cannon, posted on each aiue ot the way, near the summit, in a position to rake the road for a long distance. He examined them aa closely as possible, but the more he looked the more they appeared like cannon. — This impression was strengthened in a short time by the hoisting of a blaok flag near one of the guns. Sure enough, he thought, the Copperheads are preparing for resistance, and no doubt suspected him of a connection with the draft. Bat he had gone too far to back out, and trust ing to his ability to prove his Character us a peaceable traveler, he drove steadily up the hill. As he neared the top he noticed the gleam of two or three rifles in (he bushes at the side of the road. Suddenly he was ordered by a rongh voioe to halt, and he obeyed the command. He was asked to surrender, &Dd he replied that he surrendered unconditionally, although he had a mental reservation that he would on the first opportunity protest against such treatment. Several men then rush ed out of the bushes, audas they approach ed the carriage he recogniznd them as neighbors and friends from home. They were on the way to the moantains on foot and bearing that he was coming that way had prepared this surprise for him. The oannon were “ burnt logs, 1 ' the black flag was the neckerchief of one of their nnmberi the rifles were those .taken along to shoot any gamo they might find. After an inter change of news the traveler was permitted to go on hiß.way, but not until he had di vided with them the contents of his last whisky bottle. Adelina Patti, it is said, demands $6OO a night for her next engagement at Paris, and the. new manager, M. Bagier, does not appear to be willing to make so heavy a contract. There is not much doubt, however, but that the affair will be ar ranged, y ■ .•■ - It is suggested that Capt. Cotta, who has been discharged from service because he looked at a lady through a keyhole, while she was dressing, must be some re lation to the Peak family. ForQe Post, THE SEQUEL OF EMAWCIPA TION. <*■' Number XX.Y To Ills Excellency Abraliam Lincoln. President of the Fulled States: - Sir : Before we go any -further in the work of emancipation, we ought tostudy -how it is to he finished up, 1 - end what is to follow it. Vou know, it was easy for the old Northern States to dispose of the freodmenwhich'their acts of emancipation produced, because they were very few, and became at once subject to onr laws. Yon know also that-it cost onr ancestors sev eral centuries oi growth before they be came free from the bonds of feudal servi tude, and were enabled to fit their man ners, customs, laws and institutions to the condition of freemen.- Great and sudden popular changes bring inextricable disor ders and incalculable sufferings, and never can be permanent. A man may possibly be civilized in a life-time, but for a nation It requires a nation’slite-time. Remomber the more than a oentury’s disorder that grew out of the suddenness of the Reforma- tion, and yet the chief organic change in that case was the rejection of the gov ernment of religion by popes, bishops and priests, and its subjection to that of kings, princes and burgomasters. Where all the old authorities were rejected, and an entire new organization attempted, his tory reveals the wars, disorders, corrup tion and cruelties of an unbridled fanati cism, eurh as that of the Anabaptists. Franoe, >,t its revolntion, caßt off all its old inr-ci,tions, and it had to bear the penalty .. i a quarter of a century of war, beforo came to order, and its order is not quilt euro yet, after three-quarters of a centiny. I beg -you to study the the case of the proposed and completed sodden emanci pation of tho slaves of St. Domingo. It gave rise to a general masßacre of the white race, accompanied by such circnm stnnces ot horror as the world has seldom witnessed. That yon may recall it to your mied, i annex Mr. Allison’s account of it, tßken from his History of Europe, Vol. 1. Ttie horrible barbarity of that event would be more intensely felt, if it were described with more detail. The histories of Greece and Romo relate other servile insurrec tions, attended with similar massacres. But suppose tho slaves all emanci pated ; what will you do with them ? They will have no land, no money, no property of any kin-i. No doubt the Abo litionists will say that the land of their masters ought to be divided among them, because they cleared and cultivated it, and made all the wealth their masters possess, and have been unjustly deprived of their proper wages. That is their dor trior. But it you carry it out it.will ap ply evervwhete ; for it is just us true that the laboring poor every where have made the wealth which the rich posEi-sn, and theroior .t also ought to be divided among the poor. This doctrine of course sots aside all '.he ordinary rules ot justice, supprcjcoa all the ordinary distinction* b- f.ve.-n merit and demerit, and if appliey ia practice would bring us back toanaichd and barbarism. Afi’hr if anywhere, and Km prepare its application everywhere. And yet this is the doctrine hat is to be urged when emancipation comes ; confis cation is to open the way for it. Theo retic levellers are always ready for such social schemes ; for they know that it is nut the leaders that suffer fq- the failure cr them, while they leave the poor always poorer. And how is the division to be made.’ Then comes the time of plunder, fraud and oil forms of corruption by Gov ernment officials. ou can have no de cent man to eDgage in such a work, and the bad ones that Jo engage can only be made worse by it, though they may make princely fortunes. The bribery, fraud and favoritism of such an immense job would be enough to sink any nation many degrees and throw it back some ages in the scale of civilization. But suppose you simply set them free and lei them have tree labor for their liv ing. Any thoughtful man can see that it will be several generations before they can arauiro the now manners and customs by which all social improvement commences, an.l'on which all social progress depends. In the meantime poverty, distress, pau perism and crime will be the lot of moet of them And the principle ot abolition will still live, and will demand political remedies for moral ills. It will continue to urge that the black man is the equal o( the white, and ought to be treated as so cially and politically equal; and it will agi tate until it will excite hatred and war be tween the two races, and until one or the other is subjugated. Dear Sir, condescend to look a little at the history of the world, and learn some leßsots from it. Never did two races, even of the same color, live together on the same soil without one be ing at first subject to the other. They could not have order otherwise. But the Abolitionists will say that the wnites and blacks ought to live together on terms of social and political equality, and therefore they must do so, Who says mustl If Cod says.so, he will bring it about in his own good time and way. — He took five hundred years to bring abont such an equality between onr Norman and Saxon ancestors, thongh they were all of one color; and I do not complain of his delay. The present generation of white men inherit countless nlessings from that old feudal vassalage. This was one of God’s ways of Baying must to his creatures, who are not born perfect; but whom he intends to grow townrds perfection, and I have not yet discovered that Abolitionists, (socialict , Fonrierites and Owenites have louud cut any shorter way of growing. But Aboliuonieta will not listen to the reason whioh experience gives. Fanatics always try to spread their doctrines by lorce. Social and political agitation and organization, and not natural and spiri tual growth, is their method of curing social defects. When moral teaching fails of sadden results, the; become impa tient, and resort to the force of political machinery, and the last state of tueir fol lowers is worse than the first. Yet they will Insist on the actual equality of the two races, however different their man ners and customs, and moral and intellec tual training. This may be all well enough for the lenders, who ride upon the tempest and have all the bouors and profit ot di reeling the storm They admit for them selves only a theoretical equality, while they, in; different degrees, manage to as sume an actual supremacy. On this con dition, they will require all other white men to admit the Bocial and political equality of the blacks. However much this offends the faith and the feelings ol the poor and humble white man, he mast submit, and come down to what he believes to, be. The degradation of the negro. Of course lie mnst feel him self degraded and will actually be so, and become more and more so, and with ab olition leaders, he will soon find himself despised and trampled on by the negro.— Social standards of worth and position are settled rather by sentiment than by logic. These views tell you why the poor men in the South are banded together with so much unanimity and zeal in favor of the rebellion, thongh they own no slaves. — They have more interest in the matter than their rich neighbors with hundreds of slaves; because the rioh can always maintain themselves above the negro, at least in eocial position; . but the poor may be constrained to accept the negroes as their associates and equals, And here i alsois the danger ofthe poor man of-the North. We shall have an ' inundation of negroes upon ns, and then the smart and comfortable abolitionists will renew the war of equality here, because it will add to their power by giving;’ them more followers. dj, ■jl'Wfie'h the'poorwhitcP'mSti degrades himself byidmalgamation, ' the abolition leader will i trust, him, , becanse he knows he had a chain id hold him by. AQd-enchqiereonß have no social chance to rise until abolitionism shall succeed, and the negro and mulafto become the superior race. In this contest abolition ram can have no consideration for the poor white man. who, in an orderly way, takes society as it " is, and strives to grow np, by_hia own industry and merits, to a po sition equal to that which industry and merit have given to others. Abolitionism requires that he shall first come down to the lend of the negro and await his growth , Fanatics will rule the party that admits them.

THE EE VOLT OF EEQE3ES IN BT. HOBIINGO. From Allison's History of Europe. The Blaves iu that flourishing colony, agitated by the intelligence which they re ceived of the levelling principles ot the Constitutional ABBembiy (of France,) had early manifested symptoms of insubordi nation. The assembly, divided between the desire of enfranchising bo large a body of men, and the evident dangers of snch a step, had longheeitated on the course they should adopt, and were inclined to sup port the rights ot the planters. But the passions of the negroes were excited by the efforts of a society styled ‘ *The Society ot Friends of the Blacks/’ of which Bris sot was the leading memoer ; and the mu | lattoes were induced by their injudicious | advice to organize an insurrection. They trusted they would be able to control the ferocity ot the slaves, even during the heat ot a revolt; they little knew the dis simulation and cruelty ot the savage char acter. A universal r&volt was planned and organized, without the slightest sue picioa on the port ot the planters, and the same night fixed upon for its breaking out over the whole island. At length, at midnight-on the 80th of October, 1791, the insurrection Lroko forth. In an instant 1,200 coffee and 200 sugar plantations were in flames, the build ings, the machinery, the farm offices re duced to ashes —the unfortunate proprie tors hunted down,mnrd.red or thrown into the flames by the inluriatod negroes. The horrors ol a servile war universally ap peared. The unchained African signaliz ed -his ingenuity by the discovery of new and unheard of modes of torture. An un happy planter was sawed asunder between two boards, the horrors inflicted on the women exceeded any thing known even in the annals of Christian ferocity. The in* dulgent master was sacrificed equally with the inhumane; in all alike, young and old, rich and poor, the wrongs of an oppressed race were indiscriminately wreaked. Crowds of slaves traversed the country with the heads cd white children uffixed on their pikes; they served as the otandarcts of their ferochns assemblages In a few inetauces only the humanity ot the negro character resisted the savage contagion of the time; and some faithful slaves, at the ha/:ud ot their lives, fed in ; caves their makers or their children, whom they bad rescued from destruction. The intelligence of these disasters ex cited an angry aiscueaion in the Assembly. Brissot, the most vehement opponent of slavery, ascribed them all to the refusal of the blessings of freedom to the negro : the moderate members to the inflamma tory addresses circulated among them by the Anti-slavory Society of Paris. Af length it was agreeifid , ’CDncede the politi cal rights for which they had con'enaed to the men of color; and in consequence of that resolution. St. Domingo obtuinedThe nominal blessings ot freedom. Bat it is not thns lha* the great changes of nature are conducted : a child dues not acquire the strength ot manhood in an hour, or a tree the consistency of the hardy deni zens of the fore-t in a season. The hasty philanthropist*, who conferred npon an ignorant slave population the precipi tate gift of freedom, did them a greater injary than their worst enemies. The ! black population remains to thin day in St. Domingo a memorable example of the ruinous effect of precipitato emancipa tion. Without the steady habits of civil ized fnciety: ignorant of tbo wonts that reconcile to a life of labor: destitute of the support which ft regular government might have afforded, they have brought to the duties ol cultivated, the habits of a savage life, lo the indolence of the negro character, they have joiued the vices of European corruption. Profli gate, idle and disorderly, they have declined both in numbers and in hap pinesß; from being the greatest sugar plantation in the world, tne island has been redoced to the necessity of import log that valuable product, and the inhab itants, naked and voluptuous, are fast re ceding into the state of nature from which their ancestors were torn two centuries ago, by the rapachy ol ChrUtain averice. Time adds that things have begun to improve there, since the negroes have been subjected to pe-Hiiea! slavery —an imperial despotism. DIEI> j On Monday. July Mi.-. ANN M A.»»ILL, wile of Wm. Maglll.

New York, August 3.—The Herald’s Washington dispatch gives the following details of the fight on Saturday : Buford’s cavalry crossed the Rappahannock Ford at 9 o’clock yesterday morning. Our force was composed of the following cav alry regiments: Bth New York, 3d Vir ginia, 3d United States, 6th Pennsylvania, 6th United States, Ist United States, 9th New York, Bth Illinois and 17th Pennsyl vania. The crossing was about a half mile above the railroad station, and the object of the expedition was to ascertain the exact position of the enemy on the railroad line towards Culpepper, and the amount of force they had disposed to dis pute any crossing which we might attempt. The enemy’s cavalry was encountered half a mile from the ford. It was a por tion of Stuart’s cavalry, and consisted of Jones’ and Hampton’s brigades, with the following regiments, the Ist and 2d South Carolina Cobb’s Georgia Legion, and Jef ferson Davis Legion. Our cavalry drove the enemy gradually without any Bevere fighting until a point was reached about one mile and a half this side of Culpepper, when the enemy’s cavalry fell back on their infantry supports. We were then obliged to retire after a brisk fight with both their infantry and cavalry. The reb els outnumbering us two to one after they had fallen back to a point where their in fantry supports came to their assistance. Our loss in the fight near Culpepper, which was the most important, was a few killed and sixty-six wounded. 'The latter arrired here, and are in the Douglass Hospital. Our cavalry forces only retir ed a mile and a half after they were at tacked by the combined forces of the ene my’s Infantry and cavalry, and held .the enemy at bay there. We took about one hundred prisoners. Some of their wounded are in our hands, and have arrived here. Rebel prisoners in our bands say that many of their dead lay upon the field, near Culpepper, and their loss equals ours. Our cavalry under Buford made three successive charges on the enemy. A corps of infantry crossed the Rap pahannodk and was in position to render Bufurd effective support. According to the statement of one of our most intelli gent prisoners here, the rebel force is so much scattered along numerous fords'on the Rappahannock, watching our move ments, that no general engagement is im- minent at present, Per contra , our Union wounded in yesterday’s fight think quite the contrary, though in everything else, the wounded on both sides agree pre cisely. About ten days ago some of Col. Baker’s detective-force arrested at Brentsville a party en route for Richmond, upon whom was found some very important do lumeats from this city, addressed to Jeff. Davis as President of the Confederate States. — Among them were accurate maps of all' our fortifications and defences of this city, and a description of the character of the workß, the number of guns in each, and the strength of their garrison; also a statement that the rolls would be forward ed by a different channel. It is not known what rolls were alluded to. The docu ments were filed in the War Department, and the matter is still under investiga tion. About midnight last night a fire was communicated to the hay m the govern ment sheds and the ice houses near the monument by an incendiary. Abont for ty-fire bales of hay and one thousand tons of ioe were destroyed. The fire extended to the adjacent Btables. All movable pro perty, including horseß, was saved. The progress of the fire was arrested by palling down portions of the bnidings. Nkw 1 oss, August 3.—The Port Roy al Free South says that Savannah is de serted of troops. Several regiments had been sent to the relief of Vicksburg be fore our Charleston demonstration, and since the latter went, three regiments of infantry and Col. Anderson’s artillery, numbering twenty-four brass twelve poun ders, have been sent via Augusta to Charleston, leaving for the defence of the city but nine hundred men, cavalry, and three hundred infantry and a battery of artillery. All the extensive batteries and fortifications, before mentioned, are for this reason only picketed and not garri soned. New i ore, August 3.— A private letter received in this city, dated Morris Island, July -Uth, Bays : I went yesterday to Black island and made a reoonnoissance from the tallest tree there. I saw from my ele vated position that the rebels were erect ing a line ot batteries and building rifle Jits almost the entire distance from Fort ohnson to Secessionville.along the river. Black Island is between James and Morris Islands; distant from the former a thou sand yards. ' Washington, August 3.—The draft for the district of Colnmhia oommenced this morning. A large crowd was in attend ance, bat it was remarkably orderly. In tense interest was everywhere manifested. St. l.oi'is, Aug. 3.—Maj. Qeu.
