RICHARDS, Sec- THE " GAZETTE " ON JUDGE WOOD WARD. In yesterday's Gazelle the long winded attorney, without practice, who occasion ally contributes to its columns, opened upon Judges Woodward and Lowrie; having nothing good to say about his own candidates, this blatant and fussy dema gogue is determined to abuse and villify ours. Before alluding to this attack upon the Democratic candidates, we desire to direct the reader's attention to the follow ing extracts from a long editorial in the Gazelle of the 20th ultimo, in relation to Gov. Curtin. It remarked: "It cannot be disputed, we think, that his ad ministration has proved eminently disastrous to the party which brought him into power. That it has been an unfortunate one for the State, the present condition of her plundered sinking fund and dilapidated revenues Will abundantly attest. It is not clear that it has been a wholesome one for the country. It is bat too clear that it has been a damaging one for himself—so damaging that it is more than doubtful whether the Union sentiment, strong es it unquestionably is, would be sufficiently powerful to override the unfavor able opinions so generally -entertained of his in tegrity and wisdom, notwithstanding the more than charitable reserve of the press, which has flung a mantle over his faults, and perhaps en couraged his friends and himself to believe that the history of his administration will continue a +sealed book, or be forgotten amid the clangor of arms and the strife of the battle field. — Entrusted with the privilege of expending the first appropriation made by the Lertis'ature for the common defense, hr gave to his own crew. tures the power of snaking cataracts, as his private agents, in relation to articles with which they ,were entirely unfamiliar to the great injury of the so'dier,m he was victimized by their unskillfulness of fraud. This fact was found by a committee appointed tl, hinuel,f, under a pressure of a public clamor, which grew out of the treatment of the volunteers who had assembled at Harrisburg. Those brave youis s i t nen who had responded so generously to the call of their country, -were to raps, with aho y vestments, shoes whole soles were stuffed with shavings, and blankets almost as thin and transparent as a window pane. It was reported and believed that they had been given over to the tender mercies of a few heart less speculators who were then hovering about the OapitaL" Our only comment upon these extracts from the Gazette, in relation to Curtin, is this, that paper was not actuated in its opposition to him by any honest motive. The struggle for the mastery was between two factions of notorious public plum derera; one set the champions of Curtin, the other the creatures cif Cameron. In the Gazette's war against Curtin ; it would have the people believe that it was prompt ed because of his alleged corruption; not so, however; it was opposed to him be cause, another set of Abolition plunderers, headed by the greatest of them all—Cam. eron—were longing for the monopoly in which Curtin's followers had, accord• ing to the Gazette, been so long luau• rutting. Had the Gazette and its faction, after proving Curtin's cor • ruption, brought forward uncle one for the nomination, whose record was clear—say Gen. Howe of this county— they would have shown some sincerity in their attacks upon hie Administration ; but whom did these people select as repre sentatives of the integrity and virtue which they declared so essential in a candi• date? Why, their representative men were J. K. Moorhead and John Covode; the first a mere marauder in politics and contracts ; and the other a partisan scav enger, who never told the truth of a po litical opponent, if a falsehood would an swer his purpose. These were the two representative men—tho very embodiment of that immaculate virtue, which the Ga setts pretended to represent—who were put forward to defeat Curtin, because of his corruption. The contest for the nomination was, as we have stated, be. tween two sets of desperate jobbers and contractors. Had the Gazette and Cameron succeeded in defeating Curtin, because of his dishonesty, dnd in nomina ting either of their favorites, Covode or Moorhead, because of their integrity, we would have seen the heaviest imposition of bold hypocrisy, which, even Cameron ever attempted upon the people of Pennsylva nia. While we are, therefore, persuaded of the troth of all which the Pittsburgh Gazette has charged against Curtin, we by no means, believe that the Common. wealth would be a particle improved were it and its faction represented in the Guber• natorial chair of the State. But, the Gavette, linable to cast the slightest suspicion upon the fair fame of George W. Woodward, the Demo cratic candidate and opponent of the aforesaid Curtin, has began to as sail his " loyalty." The stale cry of "copperhead" it imagines will divert the attention of the people from the mer its and demerits of the opposing candi- dates. Alluding to a speech made by Judge Woodward in Philadelphia, prior to the breaking out of the rebellion, the Gazette remarks that " It leas a studied apology for. Me rebellion—a regular rilifi cation of Me North, and a correspondent glorification of Me South." We desire the reader's particular attention to this statement, because the fanatical scoundrels throughout the State, expect to make cap ital by its repetition. The meeting allud. ed to was held on the 13th of December. MO, four mouths. ; before the rebellion broke oat. The meeting was called by the conservative citizens of the City of Philadelphia, and was presided over by the then, and now Republican Mayor, Mr. Henry. The Vice Presidents and Secretaries were 'Hitt opted front -par; ties, and the speech of Judge Woodward,' alluded to, was made at the urgent solici• tations of the leading citizens of the city ; it was applauded, at the time, by all who wished to avoid the bloody civil war which is now upon us. What then can be thought of a blatant declaimer about honesty in public servants, like this frothy pretender of the Gazette, who has the assurance to style a speech in fiivor of the Union, de• livered in December, 18(14), "a studied apology for the rebellion," which did not commence for four months afterwards? The writer in the Gazelle may have dam aged Curtin with his facts; but Judge Woodward is invulnerable to his false hoods. The speech of Judge Woodward upon the occasion referred to, was a calm and able review of the condition of the country, containing sound advice how to escape the two and a half years of blood and slaughter with which we have been afflicted. .A.FPOINTMEDIT OF isH.tatlFF. The commission of George R. Riddle, Esq.. for Sheriff of Allegheny county, to servo until the people shall have elected hls successor, ar rived from Harrisburg this woruir.a. As stated yesterday. far. Riddle had withdrawn his appli cation, and he does Rot feel at liberty to accept the commission, although his triencis earnestly urge him to do so. tits proposttion to serve for the unexpired term 02 Sheriff Woods, handing to the family of that lamented gent,einan the proceeds of the office, was dictated by the highest sense of honor and kindness. To his surprise he had learned that motives of this most unworthy character have been imputed to him, and he does nut desire to assume the responsieilities of the of under such circumstances." Any one who knows George R. Riddle well, is aware that he is incapable of doing any act not prompted by the highest sense of. honor. Having acted together, in days gone by, in close political association, we know him well ; and no matter now how mach he may be wrong in his opinions of parties, his personal ideas of personal in tegrity are ever right. We rejoice at hav ing an opportunity to attest the priTate worth of a decided though honorable po litical opponent ; and we trust that no de traction will prevent him from carrying out his benevolent intentions in regard to the widow and orphans of his deceased friend. A NEW VERSION OF THE MON ROE D JCTRINE. Americans have heretofore been taught to think and believe that the manage ment and control of their domestic of fairs belonged wholly to themselves, and about which they consulted nobody, least of all European powers. Ibis, it now appears from the letter of Solicitor Whit ing to the loyal League of Philadelphia, is a mistake. The object of his letter is to show that the seceded States ought not in any event to be restored to the except upon the express condition of the absolute destruction or prohibition of ne gro slavery in the seceded States. Ilia bold and most prominent argument ia re spect for the opinion and wish of Eltrope, and his assertion of the promise or faith of this nation to Europe to that effect. To do him no injustice, we quote his own language. "Whatever disasters may befall our arms, whatever hamilia "tions may be in store for us, it is earnest* "ly hoped that we may be saved from the "unfathomable infamy of breaking the "nation's faith with Europe." The wn• ter of that letter is an officer of the ad ministration, supposed to be high in its confidence, and he writes as with an air of authorized confidence. It is true, then, that this nation has entered into any con• tract, agreement, or converiant with fore ign powers, as to the mode or manner of the restoration of the Union Has it formed or bound itself by any "er,tang• ling alliance" in substance or form, with the crowned heads of Europe, or given them the nation's promise, or plighted them the nation's faith, as to what should be the precise character of our domestic institutions, or the conditions or terms on which they shall be based? It is true, as this writer asserts, that if we prefer to re store the Union with the dignity of the States unimpaired, in the language of our own Congress, that we will give just cause of offense to Europe, break with it the plighted faith of the nation, and subject it to unfathomable infamy? If this is true, who has authorized this binding: who has made the pledge?— World. Americans Accused of Supplying the Japanese with Arms. A Hong Kong correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin says: It is currently reported and generally believed that there has been some sharp correspondence between the American Minister and the British Charge &Affaira in reference to large importations of arms and ammunition, which American mer chants were making at the present time. It is to be doubted whether any large im portations have been made ; but there is no question that all munitions of war have found a ready sale, and this it was not within the power of Mr. Pruyn to pre. vent. Ovation to Bx•Preaident Buchanan On Saturday last a dinner was given to Hon. James Buchanan, at the Bedford Hotel, and the people in this neighbor hood called upon the Ex• President in large numbers to pay their respects to one whom they have always respected, but whom they now honor more than ever, see• ing that if his political views had con tinued to prevail in the administration of the government, we would not have had the present civil war, and Disunion would long since have died for want of nourish ment. In the afternoon a number of the ladies called upon the Ex-President. Al together, it was a delightful reunion of old friends, and we believe was one of the largest and most successful receptions ever given in this place to any public man. —Bedford Gazette, Aug. 14. The Franking Privilege The Postmaster General, finding that the recent act of Congress relative to franking privilges, if carried out to the letter, would operate against the privil eges of many officers having business with various Departments with which they are not directly connected, and belieVing that such was not the intent of the act, has given it the most liberal construction pos• Bible, and decided that any Government official, having official business with any of the departments, is entitled to and will receive the benefit of franking. A Sad Flea. On Thursday, in the Fourteenth ward, Philadelphia, application was made by the parents of a youngman for his exemp tion from draft. The plea was " habitual drunkenness." The parents are respect. able people, who deeply felt the mortifi cation of such a confession.. They, how. ever, sustained the plea by affidavits, and fortified it by other proof. The man was released. An apparently respectable cit izen pit Lti a iiMllar Flea. How Lincoln Came to Issue his Emancipation Proclamation. The Chicago Tribune (Abolition) of the 23d of September, 1862, contained an ac count of an interview between some Abo lition preachers of that city and President Lincoln, the statement being made at a public meeting in Chicago. They asked Lincoln to issue an Emancipation Procla mation. He refused, and among other reasons assigned the following : "I am approached with the most oppo. site opinions and advice, and that by re ligions men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. lam sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and, perhaps, in some respects in both. I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say, that if it is probable that God would reveal his will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed he would re• veal it directly to me. For, unless lam more decided in myself than I often am, it. is my earnest desire to know the will of Providence in this matter. And if I can learn what it is, I will do it." Within a week after he made this answer in the negative he issued his Proclama tion. In order to learn what the views of Gon were, it is said the President consul ted the spirits : and having ascertained what Providence desired from them, he issued the Proclamation ! The President is a believer in mediums. Before he thu s ascertained GOD'SI views the President was turned against emancipation. He said : " What good would a proclamation of emancipation from me do? I do not wish to issue a document that the whole world will see must be inoperative, like the Pope's bull against the comet I Would my word free the slaves when I can not even iuforce the Constitution in the rebellious States? Is there a single court or magis• trate, or individual that would bo influenc ed by it then? And what reason is there to think it would have any greater effect upon the slave than the late law of Con. grebe, which 1 approved, and which offers protection and freedom to the slaves of rebel masters who come within our lines? Yet I can not learn that the law has caused a single slave to come to us. And suppose they could be induced by a proclamation of freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them? How coo Id we feed and care for such a multi tude? General Butler wrote me, a few days since, that be was issuing more re times to the slaves, who had been rushed to him, than to all the white troops under his command. They eat, and that in all. Though it is true, General Butler is feed ing whites also, by the thousand, for it nearly amounts to a famine there. If, DOW, the pressure of the war should call off our forces from New Orleans to defend , some other point, what is to prevent the masters from reducing the blacks to sla very agai, , for, I am told, that whenever the rebels take any black priscners, free or slaves, they immediately auction them oft They did so with those they took from a boat that was aground on the Ten• nersee River a few days ago. And then I am very ungenerously attacked for it 1— For instance, when, after the late battles at and near Bull Run, an expedition went out from Washington under a flag of truce, to bury the dead and bring in the wounded, and the rebels seized the blacks who went along to help, and sent them in to slavery. Horace Greeley said in hie paper that the Government would proba bly do nothing about it. What could I do? General Exchange of Prisoners. We hear, on authority in which we place confidence, that a general exchange and return of prisoners has been agreed on, including officers of all degrees, to take place as soon as the arrangements to that end can be completed. We have at this time between 70,000 and 80,000 rebel prig- opera, while they have about 30,000 of oars. Under this arrangement we pre sume that the large excess of rebels in our hands will be returned paroled, to await exchange for Union soldiers who may some time or other fall into the hands of the oligarchy.— Wash. Mar. The Reported Naval Battle The newspapers, it seems, were some what sold by the report of a naval fight off the Maine coast. Dr. Crabtree, of this city, writes to the Press that he wit neesed the affair, and all there was of it is this: The United State gunboat Mont gomery wag practicing her guns, and fired twenty-one in an hoar and a quarter. There was no rebel craft about, unfurtu• nately,--Fart. ( 'ourani. Flalary of the Military Mayor of New Orleans The following are said to be the items of the salary of the NI i lit ary Mayor of New Orleans: Salary as mayor per annum, 35,000 ; salary as cal in U. S. army, $1,200 ; salary as As- nt Adjutant lien. oral of State, $2,751: iiary as Secretary of State, $2,000; y as Adjutant to 60 days' volunteers, ; salary for carriage hire, i , 2,400. I oral $16,354, Exempt from Draft It is stated that the administration has determined to suspend all operations under the conscription act in Nebraska and Dakota. There will be no draft in those Territories. The order will be im• mediately forwarded. The release has been granted in view of the exposed con• dition of the frontier to Indian depreda• tions, the already large proportion of troops furnished by Nebraska and the sparse population. A Nibbling Lawyer A. lawyer of Paterson, N. J., was on Monday tried by a jury for the crime of nibbling—going into groceries and cutting off pieces of cheese, taking crackers and buttering them, and taking other liberties of the same sort. The jury, after hearing the evidence, found the accused guilty, and rendered a verdict of $26 for the grocer, Mr. John Bayard, at whose store the nib bling occurred. A Connecticut Rebel Major Frederick Headly, who was kill ed while fighting on the rebel side at the siege of Vicksburg, was a Connecticut born and bred boy, belonging to an old and respectable Hartford family. His grandfather for many years held the hon orable position of High Sheriff of Hart ford county, and one of his brothers has been for a long time, and is now, the State Librarian cf Connecticut. Major Headly went .to Little Rock, Arkansas, ten or twelve years since, and was there admitted to practice at the bar in that State. Leutae at Home Leutze, the artist, had a grand welcome and reception at Dusseldorf, on the 10th of June last, on his return from Amerioa. About one hundred and fifty artiate and lovers of art assembled at the "Mahlkas• ten," just outside of the Hof-Garten.— This is the club-house of the painters, and, with its gardens, is their property.— Leutze was received with bands of music, and when he came within reach of the as sembled company, there was a general rush to shake his hands, kiss his cheek and hug him. DiathagaiEthed Sebago°. On last Thursday, hire. Bell, the wife of the Hon. John Bell; of Tennessee, ar• rived at Cincinnati from Nashville. Why is the Zraft Necessary ? In the winter of 1862, Mr. Fessenden, Republican Senator from Maine, 'in a speech in the Senate, said : " In every State of the Union there are men who are paid from month to month, not called in the field absolutely, for the reason that Government has no occasion to use them, and yet no step is taken to disband these men. Why not disband them, if they are not wanted? We have 250,000 more than we ever intended to have. It is extravagance of the most wanton kind. I offered a proposition to stop all enlistments." Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, said : " I have over and over again been to the War Office, and urged upon the De partment to stop recruiting in every part of the country. We have had the promise that it should be done. I believe we have today 160,000 more men under the pay of the Government than we need or can well use. I think the Department ought to issue peremptory orders forbidding the enlistment of another soldier into the vol unteer force." That was before the Emancipation Proc lamation was issued. They then had more men than they wanted. They is sued that proclamation volunteering ceased—and a forced conscription is the result ! Gen. Pitz John Porter Hon. Reverdy Johnson has published a pamphlet defending Fitz John Porter from the charges made against him in the late court martial. Mr. Johnson, who was Gen. Porter's counsel, pays particu lar attention to Judge Advocate Holt, who, contrary to all precedent, he says, after declining the argument of the accused, furnished the President with a private re view of the case, to which, of course, there was no opportunity to reply. Mr. Johnson, therefore, answers Mr. Holt in this public manner for the purpose of do ing justice to as brave an officer as ever was in the army, and as Mr. Johnson be lieves as loyal a one as any of his malign ers. Mr. Johnson seems to have a high opini in of Gen. Porter as a man and an officer, and he believes him to be a most unjustly persecuted individual. The pamphlet is an interesting one, and will, no doubt, from the circumstances which have caused its publication, be extensive ly read. Dr. Peters, the Murderer of Van An attempt was recently made in Nash ville to assassinate Doctor Peters, who killed Van Dorn for improper behavior towards Mrs. Peters. The Nashville Press says Dr. Peters is of opinion that one great object of his enemies is to hush forevea a lull revelation of the history of the tragedy between himself and Van Dorn. "In this, however, he has taken time by the forelock, having written out a full history of the matter which brought about the libertine's death, extending over more than fifty paces. sealed it np carefully and deposited it with a triPnd to preserve and publish in case of his a_isas sination." Remarkable Coincidence Net since, says a New York paper, two gentlemen and a lady bought a plot in Greenwood Cemetery, and had it partition ed od as their respective property. On three successive days last week (Thurs day, Friday and Saturday) the parties all died, and wer3 buried in the ground they themselves had thus chosen. One of them was the late B. M. Whitlock ; another was the widow of a former merchant of New York city. and tfili third was a young bridegroom, only a fortnight married. Good Institution There is in London what is known as the "rag collecting brigade," composed of children belonging to the "ragged schools" of the metropolis. Seven tracks, each managed by three boys, pass over assigned districts and gather up paper, rags, bones and old metal. Much valu able material, that would be otherwise wasted, is utilized by the "I.rigivir," end report shows that sin , ,lished, a gross profit of tw•' - loners has been made. Visit to Mr. Web.itcr . .l Tomb. llauiel Webster's v:sited his tomb one day last work. It wad her first visit to Marshfield since the lamented death of her illustrious husband. What memories (remarks the Bostot. Courier) must have been awakened in view of events now passing in the country, which he gave with unsurpassed ability his life in maintaining and defending. Mrs. Webster was accompanie din herpious pilgrimage by the old and devoted friend of her husband, Peter Harvey, Esq. The Oyster Orop It is feared the oyster crop this year will be a failure. The beds in the Chesapeake are almost entirely destroyed, and as yet those in the Virginia rivers cannot be ap proached. Fully half of the boats en gaged in the trade have also been destroy ed since the war broke out. The Balti more packers have accordingly declined to make contracts on specific terms. This announcement is put forth to "operate for a rise," as the stock brokers say. Composition for Preserving Wood. A very good composition for preserv ing wood, which is to be placed in the ground and subjected to rapid decay, is made with coal tar, quick lime and char coal. The tar is first heated in an iron vessel ; then about a pound eaoh of quick lime and charcoal to every five gallons, stirred among until the whole has become thoroughly mixed. It is applied hot with a brash, or the wood may be dipped into it. This preparation resists the attacks of insects. DIED: At Vicksburg, on board tho U.
