PHiLetcLPau, Pa., July 22d. 1865.
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.

A Letter to a Democratic c on
vention in Lucas Co., Ohio.
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.”

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. It is call

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

The Disaster on the Mississippi
Particulars of the Burning of the Steam

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.

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

legacy.
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.
Given under my hand, and the Seal of
the Confederate States, at Richmond, this
Ist day of Angqst, in the yepr of our Lord

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. B.—All rebel territory
west of the Mississippi river will soon be
cleared of every organized rebel force.
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. Gilmoro will he heavily re
