ESj“ We direct the attention of our readers to the Address, oa onr first page, delivered to the Manchester Democratic Clnb, by Jno. M. Cornwell, Esq., of that place. It is a first rate speech, and will well repay any one for the time occupied in its perusal. THE KENTUCBTY ELECTION. In Saturday’B Post we published a letter from the Cincinnati inquirer, from a cor respondent in Covington, Kentucky, giv ing an account of the manner in which the late election was conducted. He stated that in his ward a * ‘ twenty-four pounder and a file of soldiers were stationed, that Democrats were knocked down for attempt ing to vote the Wickliffe ticket, the result of which was, that in a ward formerly poll iflg hundreds of Democratic votes, only eighteen were polled at the late election.” The writer says he desires his Democratic friends in the North to know these 11 out rages.” The Gazette, of this city, does not un derstand this correspondent's statements. -It remarks that 1 ‘ there is a foggyness in ; .this which is very perplexing, and which we would gladly Bee dissipated, even by a neat quotation from Shakspeare, if one can be found.' ’ The result of the late Abolition Conven tion, in nominating, according to the Ga zette, a ‘' thief and scoundrel,” will proba bly account for the foggyness complained of. The whole matter, however, is en tirely clear to the disfranchised citizens of Kentucky. They perceive an Administra tion that has plunged the country in blood, in the name of liberty and negro equality, robbing them of their dearest rights, by military usurpation, and they also see Abolitionism everywhere rejoicing in the outrage.' The army, enlisted to preserve the Union, is prostituted by fanatics to defraud freemen of their rights, while howling for the freedom of the Blaves. - - v - mv »Mwwca Tfrmu ui . a fanatic, bat it strikes us that it is qnite comprehensible to all who see in snch proceedings, the beginning of the end of our Republican system. The tyranny practiced in Kentucky, under Burnside's proclamation, is but a prelude of what will happen in Ohio. The army will de cide the election there, also. The heated brains of the A bolitionists of the Gazette, have unfitted them for coolly contempla ting these outrages. Because enacted by the creatures of the Administration, they gloat over them as partisan triumphs; hut a few more such achievements may arouse the latent fury of an outraged peo ple, to assert and maintain their rights and independence. In this they will have to encounter all such negro equality cham pions as the fanatics of the Gazette, whose hearts are insensible to the misfortunes of their neighbors, bnt -whose tongues are quite flippant in lamentations over wrongs and oppressions at a distance. This hy pocrisy is so palpable and disgusting that it requires no language of “ Shakspeare” to impress it upon the people. It must have au and, however j the intelligent people of the United States will not stand and see their rights usurped by either civil or mili tary power. ' If persisted in, resistance tnust come, and when it does, we can easily imagine an easy triumph. Abolitionism may now gloat over military usurpations because of partisan considerations; but if it imagines that it will secure a permanent lease of power by each proceedings, it un derrates the spirit of the people as much as it misunderstands the relative capaci ties of the Cancassian and African races. The people are apt schollars; they are thinking, having much food for contem plation;' They are beginning to perceive the motives of a villainous sst of fanatics, who in the names of “freemen and free speech,” are draining the conntry of its white population, to give freedom to half civilized blacks; while, at the same time, they prostitute the arms of our soldiery to intimidate the people at popular elections. This state cf affairs may flourish for a season, bnt the fanatic who imagines it a secure proceeding for the accomplishment 1 of'hls designs, hhS‘little comprehension of the power of popular resentment. i FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF PITTSBURGH, By reference fb our advertising columns it will be seen that the Pittsburgh Trust Company has organized under the act “To Provide a National Currency, 5 ’ and with the title of “ The First National Bank of Pittsburgh.” The Treat Company has been organized since 1862, and has been so admirably managed that its success is almost" unprecedented in the history of Banking Institutions in this country. The same offioers will control the new organization, and the increased facilities of the Bank will enable it to extend its usefulness.

The following letter from Mr. \ allan digham was received at a Democratic Convention in Toledo, i >hio, on August 6th: Table-Rcce House, 1 Nuuara Fails, C. W., July 81. i ■ Gentlemen : Unable to attend your meeting of the sth August in person, per mit me to address you by letter briefly.— Waßte no part of your time in personal defence of the candidates and speakers of the Anti-Administration’s party. I leave undisturbed the brave and chivalrous work of assailing an opponent absent because the tyrannic power of the master, execu ted by military force, compels it. The greet isßue of the day ought not to be sub ordinated to things merely personal, and d recommend to my friends generally that they imitate the wise Roman, and carry the war into Africa. The Democracy of Lucas, postponing all other issues, and ignoring all differ ences of opinion in regard to them, assem ble, of course, to consider what General Fremont, the candidate of the free speech and free press Republican party of 1856, very aptly styles the uppermost question of the day—the question oi their own con stitutional rights and liberties. This is the practical issue in the Ohio campaign, forced by the President and his party upon the people, and bodly met by the Democ racy, in their nominations, and also in their admirable platform, which, as a can didate, I accept as their solemn and de liberate confession of political faith, and their pledge ,to the _ country Hint they mean to defend the rights asserted in it with their lives, their fortnnes and their sacred honors. Until these shall have been made secure, it can be neither useful nor possible to discuss any other question, not directly connected with it. Here is, indeed, just each a question, one second only in importance to that of public liberty. The Union of the States is worth the whole world to the American people, bnt liberty is the soul of a people; and what shall it profit ns to gain the whole world and lose our owu aoul V The Constitution made the Union, and when the war began, it was proclaimed to be for the Constitution and laws, and whatever difference of opinion there may have been even then as to the mode of se curing it, every patriotic citizen of the United States knew what the lawß and the Constitution were. Bnt what do we see to-day ? The opin ion and will from hour to hour of the President —and snch a President! —are solemnly and officially proclaimed supe rior to the Constitution and laws, even iu the Btates wholly loyal; so that, upon the present policy of the Administration and its party, declared unchangeable, the South is to be forced to the will and opinion of Abraham Lincoln, instead of the written fundamental statute and common law. And, if we ourselves Bcoru to yield up onr constitutional rights and liberties to this monßtrous demand, does auy honorable man, auy sane man, ask or expect the States and the people of the South to sur render so long as a man survives to strike a blow, or a woman to strengthen his heart or nerve his arm ? Upon such a policy this war must and will be interminable. So many square miles maybe overrun, so much soil may be conquered, but the hearts of the people never. How, then, stand the chances of the Union, measured by the two different policies of the A bolition and Democratic parties ? that the States and the people of the South shall be forced to lay down their arms and submit. What then ? Confiscation of all property, emancipation of all slaves, and the execution of all who, directly or indi rectly, have taken part in the rebellion, namely: nine-tenths of the whole popu lation, for a general amnesty has never, as yet, been so mnch as suggested by either Congress or the Executive, and unconsti tutional submission is now the leas! which is demanded, though it would do more, not only for constitutional liberty, but tor the Union, than such men could accom plish in a hundred years. I need not repeat my often declared conviction, which time has always vindi cated, that the Sonth cannot be conquered by force of arms ; but granting, for argu ment's aahe, the effectual obech and wan ing proportions of the rebellion, as pro claimed now again for the hundredth time, by the organs of the Administration, and that by the second Monday up J&nory next all the armies of the Confederates will have been captured or dispersed, and their remaining 600,000 square miles of terri tory overran and occupied, then the hour for the pacification at the Sooth and con cil.ation of her people will have arrived, which party will most readily be heark ened to bv them ? Who, as Governor of Ohio, will by the most efficient agent in that great and arduous task? Yonr can didate committed wholly to the restora tion of the Union as it was, or the candi date of the Administration, pledged to a policy full, upon the one hand, of con tinned exasperation and hate, and on the other of insurrection and revenge V Very.momentous are these questions, for until that Bhall have been accomplish ed, there can be neither Constitution nor Union, and no security and no qmet in the land, nor can a single soldier tell his retnrn to mother, or wife, or child, or home. Reason together, then, men of Ohio, and jndge wisely, who love yonr conntry, and wonld restore it to its ronpey peace, prosperity and glory. Continual war a,in strife is the forbidden fruit of onr political Eden, and bear still the primal curse ut tered In tones louder than the voioe of the mighty cataract in whose presence I now write: “ Tii the day that thou eatesi there of thou Bhaltsurelydie.” [Signed] C. L. VALLANDIGHAM. Deserters as Substitutes, The Providence (R. I.) Journal says: Two detectives from New York arrived here yesterday morning, and paid a visit to the barracks. Out of fifty-two substi tute soldiers whom they found there, twenty-three they claimed as deserters, and some of the men indicated acknowl edged the claim. The alleged deserters were then searched for their money, and an average of less than $36 each was found upon them. What will be done in this case we cannot say, but we hope that an effectual blow will be dealt to the in iquitous practices that have prevailed to such a shameful extent daring the last two weeks. A test remarkable disease seems to have made its appearance in Illinois. In some portions of Schuyler county qnite a number of people have recently died of it. The victims are attacked with pains in some part of the body, generally in the hand or arm, and in two or three days they are dead. One young lady died m two days, her only: pain being in her fin gers. A man and his wife riso died with in a day or two of each other.

THE DISTURBANCE IN lOWA. Arrest ot Ten Republicans Con cerned in the Late Riot. luleuie Excitement ami Arm- lug of Citizen* Chicago, August 7. The Muscatine Journal nf the 4th, iußtaut, says: Ten Republicans, who were most prominent in the affair of last Saturday, have been arrested and put un der bonds tor their appearance at court. The Demoorats to the number of 700, now encamped near Sigourney, demand the im mediate trial for murder of those arrested. The excitement is said to be intense. At Washington, a company numbering 116 have been raised, and fully armed and equipped, ready to march to the scene of trouble. We also understand that 800 Republicans are now under arms at South English. The Disaster on the Mississippi Particulars of the Burning of the Steam er Ruth—Great L 033 of Life —Two and a Half Millions in Green-backs De stroyed, iDispaUh u Ua3 Chicago Times, j Gaiko, August 5, The steamer Ruth, Captain Pegram, left Cairo last night at 11 o’clock, with a small passenger list and 600 tons of freight, bound for Helena. Her load consisted partly of about 100 head of fat cattle for the army, and 122 males. Paymaster Krintoo, of Philadelphia, with s2,6t>o,Oi'U J was apassenger, en rouU for the army of Gen. Grant, haring as a guard thirty men of the Ninth Wisconsin Regiment, under Lient. Conner, Lees than an hoar after leaving this place, the colored chambermaid discovered fire aft on the starboard side, near the stern. She gave the alarm, and a scene of con fusion ensued, though not as great as might have been expected. It is said by passengers that not four minutes elapsed after the first alarm, be fore the entire upper workß of the steam er were in a blaze. The captain was at his post. As soon aa he saw that nothing but the direct intervention of Providence could save his boat, he caused her head to be turned toward the Missouri shore, not more than eight miles from Cairo, in the vicin ? ty of and just below Norfolk landing, and with a full head of steam on, he ran her hard aground, bow on. Some thirty feet of her Btern broke off by force of the Bhock, and the passengers, crew, and every one excepting five soldiers on guard over the money in the paymaster’s box. made a simultaneous rush for the shore. A few jumped overboard and were drowned, or swam to the bonk and climb ed on shore. The five soldiers mentioned remained at their post bravely turning the tide, and trying to induce confidence in escaping passengers, bnt their efforts were iruillesß. Paymaster Brinton had given them orders they implicitly obeyed until the boat struck with a crash upon the bank, then swung. All would soon be loßt and no hope remaining of saving the money, they also left their position and endeavored to escape. Be* fore all could leap off, the boat recoiled from eho. b, one wheel still going, and shot out into the Btream. Five ot the Ninth Wisconsin and several paesengers, all the cattle, mules, money, freight, colored chambermaid, one of the clerks, son of Mr. Oglesby, one paymaster, Greenwalt, of fTn.rrin.hnrg- __ Pit- - throa imßmaalora 1 c/eiawynamw Unknown;, were known to be aboard. The fiames cracked and spread; cattle and mules broke loose and jumped overboard, or snorted frantically about, rendered insane by dames and heat. AU this was witnessed by passengers on shore. Some passengers jumped overboard and swam ashore, one with his trunk and oth ers nearly naked, swam out into the stream, seeming also insane, and were car* ried under and lost. Soon the wreck 6ank, and her seething fires were quenched in deep waters. The steamer ShirgUs arrived during the night, bringing atl the passengers, captain, clerk, and such property as coala be picked up. The papers and all the books of the boat were lost, Thirty one soldiers of company I, Ninth Wisconsin, as guard to the paymasters, under command of leentt Courier, of these, one corporal and four privates are lost, three killed by a stage plank falling on them while in the water: altogether there are about thirty lives lost. Four hundred tons commissa ry and sutlers' stores, and abont one hun dred tons private freight, were all lost. — There were about two hundred persons on board in all. The boat, valued at $lOO,- 000, is insured for $50,000. The fire broke out in the after part of the boat, some say between decks, others say in the nursery. When the boat struck the shore the fire having driven the engi neers from their posts, the engines con tinued to work, and as soon as she struck, a number jumped ashore, bnt her stern soon swung around down stream, and bb the engines continued to work, her bow was soon turned from the shore, and she aeain started down tfie river. iVhen she left the shore there were abont thirty per sons on her bow, nearly all of whom must have perished. The Boldiers are said to have acted heroically, and to have stood by the boxes containing the money until it was certain all was consumed. The boxes were iron-bound, and too heavy to be removed. Besides, the flames spread all over the boat in less than five minnteß. Thprp is no satisfied,o theory as to how the fire originated, ft is bcljevuj, howev er, to have been fired by an incendiary in the interests of the rebel government. An effort wns made to fire the naval depot here, night before last. “7"W* Union Prisoners in Riohrqopd- The Yankee prisoners now in Richmond number four thousand three hundred, of which number three thousand three hun dred are at the Belle Isle encampment.— Several thousand were sent northward last week. Very few additional prisoners were received yesterday from all sources. The Central train brought none for a wonder. The Gettysburg fountain ol “bine bellies” has about run out.

A Great Storm in Berks County, On Thursday last, one of the moat ter rific storms passed over Berks oounty, Pa., that has visited that section of coun try for Borne years. Trees were blown down, houses unroofed, and, in seme in stances barns were blown over, and the roofs carried away. The streets of Bead ing were strewn with limbs torn from the trees, though npt a house was unroofed, or a chimney blown down in the whole city. The principal damage accrues to grain and fruit, which were destroyed in jpany places, doing a great deal of dam age; x A ctTßioua icase has lately come'before the Bbkloh courts. Wm. 0.

Proclamation by Jejfc Davis. To tlio NolUlers of tbe Confederate States i Alter more than two yeari of a wailare scarcely equalled in the Lumber, magni tude and fearful carnage of hs battles —a warfare in which your courage safl forti tude have illustrated your country, and at tracted not only gratitude at home, but admiration abroad, your enemies continue a struggle in which our final triumph must be inevitable. Unduly elated with their recent successes, they imagine that tem porary reverses can quell your spirit or shake your determination: and they are now gathering heavy masses for a general invasion, in the vain hope that by a des perate effort success may at length be reached. "ion know too well, my countrymen, what they mean by success. Their malig nant rage aims at nothing less than the extermination ot yourselves, your wives and children. They seek to destroy what they cannot plunder. They propose as the spoils of victory that yonr homes shall be partitioned among the wretches whose atrocious cruelties have stamped infamy on their Government. They desire to in cite insurrection and light the fires of in cendiarism whenever they can reach your homes, and they debauch the inferior race hitherto docile and contented, by promis ing indulgence ot the vilest passions os the price of treachery. Conscious of their inability to prevail by legitimate warfare, not daring to make peace lest they should be hurled from their seats of power, the men who now rule in Washington refuse even to conter on the subject ot putting an end to outrages which disgrace onr age, or to listen to a suggestion tor conducting the war according to the ÜB&geß of civili sation. ' Fellow Citizens, no alternative is left you but victory, or snbjngation, Slavery and the utter ruiu of yourselveßi yonr families, and your country. The victory is within yonr reach, you need but to stretch forth your hands to grasp it. For this and all that is accessary is that those who are called to the field by every motive that can move the human heart, should ; promptly repair to the post of duty, should Btand by their comrades now in front of the foe, and thus bo strengthen the arms of the Confederacy as to insure success. The men now absent from their posts, would, if present in the field, suffice to create numerical equality between our forces and that of the invaders—and when with any approarh to such equality have we failed to be victorious ? I.believe that but few of those absent are actuated by unwillingness to serve their country: bat that many have found it difficult to re&ißt the temptation of a visit to their inmes and the loved ones from whom they have been bo long separ ated: that others have left for temporary attention to their affairs, with the iuten tion ot returning, and then have shrunk from the consequences of their violation of duty; that others again have left their posts trommere restlessness and desire of change, each quieting the upbraidingß ot his conscience by pereuadmg himself that his invividnal services could have no in | fluence on the general result. These and other causes, although fur less disgraceful than the desires to avoid danger or to escape from the sacrifices reqvired by patriotism, are nevertheless grievous faults, and place the caose of our beloved country, and ol everything we hold dear, in imminent peril. 1 repeat that the men who now owe duty to their country, who have been called out aud have not yet reported for duty, or who have absented themselves from their KM? , mpecfifiugT I call on you, thSn, my countrymen, to hasten to your comps, In obedience to the dictates oi honor and ol dnty, and sum mon those who have absented themselves without leave, who have remained absent beyond the period allowed by their fur loughs, to repair without delay to their re spective commands ; and 1 do hereby de clare that I grant a general pardon and amnesty to alt officers and men within the Confederacy now absent without leave who shall, with the least possible delay, return to their proper posts of duty, but no excuse will be received for any delay beyond twenty days aft?r the first publica tion of this proclamation in the State iu which the absentee may be at the date of the publication. This amnesty and par don shall extend to all who have been convicted and are undergoing sentence for absence without fravo or desertion, ex cepting only those who have been convict ed of desertion. Finally, 1 conjure my countrywomen— the wives, mothers, sisters, and danghters of the Confederacy—te use their all power ful influence in aid cf this call, to add one crowning sacrifice to those which their patriotism has so freely and constantly afforded on their country’s altar, and to take care that none who owe service in the field ahall be sheltered at home from the disgrace of having deserted their dntv to their families, to their country, and to their God.

Washington, August B,— Robert C, Gist, special agent of the Post Office De partment, in charge of the Memphis Post Office, writes to Hon. G. W. McLellan, Second Assistant Postmaster* General, that steamboats are arriving and depart ing almost daily to and from New Orleans, without molestation from guerrillas. Hs adds —“1 am now making np a mail daily for New Orleans. I have consulted with the Surveyor of the Port, Master of Transportation, and other officials, all of whom express the decided opinion that the eastern and northern mails for New Orleans can be sent with more safety and expedition by the Mississippi river than by ocean steamers, so long as rebel pirati cal vessels continue to infest our coast and commit depredations. ‘General Grant has established a mount ed patrol between Vicksburg and New Orleans. I understand that the guerrillas who infest some portions of the river, at times, have generally no artillery. Mas ketry can do no damage to boats. The prospect is that the guerrillas will be cleaned out if they make any further Jem onatrations. Transports with coal barges are being sent below every day, destined tor New l 'rleanß." t'uno, Ang.

General Davidson iB marching down Cen tral Arkansas and in several little affairs with the enemy has been entirely success ful. Already the people of Jacksonville *b said to be fleeing before Davidson’s ap proach. Another expedition is on foot, starting into this western country which will help to complete the work of crushing the re bellion. It is not proper to speak of it in detail at present, bat it can Dot be long before this entire Boope of territory wil be under undisputed Federal control. The Atlanta Appeal urges guerrilla operations on the Mississippi river, and says a systematized plan of operation on its banks will accomplish more than can otherwise be devised to cripple Grant. It wants to see travelers on the father of waters bushwhacked from every cane break and huff below Memphis. Nsw \ ore, Angnst B.—The Times’ Washington dispatch says it is believed that Gen.
