Jar In consequence of a fire in the
Post buildings on Saturday night, con
siderable matter prepared for this morn•
ing's issue is deferred.
We acknowledge our indebtedness to
the fire department, not only for prompt.
ness and energy in subduing what at one
moment threatened a most serious fire,
but to their good judgment in refraining
from throwing more water than was abso
lutely necessary in subduing the flames.
We must not omit to tender to our
brethren of the press and the several job
printers of the city, our cordial thanks for
their kind offices in such matters as they,
only, could render. We hope to be able
to repair damages in a short time ; in the
meanwhile the issue of the Daily and
Weekly Post will suffer no interruption.

ABOLITION DESIGNS
The utter hopelessness of the rebel
cause, necessarily renders the people of
the repel States anxious for a speedy
peace ; that they are eager for it is as well
demonstrated, as that the rebellion exists.
Among other 'indications of a desire for
the old Union, we find the following in
a private letter from Lagrange, Tenn.:
"The policy of the administration seems to be
to crush out all love for the old Union in the
South, to dishearten those who have ~tood up for
the Union here, and to discourage in them all
efforts to bring about whetter state of things in
this region. Tennessee never went out of the
Jnion by a fair vote of her own people, and she
never has been oat of the old Union in feeling--
isnot °acne this. day. oven amidst all the ruin and
destruction seen and fast on her borders. Were
it authoritatively published to-day to the people
of Tennessee that their rights under the old con
taitution should be guaranteed to them by a re
turn to the Union a.. it was, Tennessee would be
in the Uniou in less than two months. It is in
the power of the administration to know this
fact. May be it does know, but does not wish to
heed it. in order to gratify the abolition wing of
the Republican party."
This correspondent, although in Ten
nessee; appears to comprehend the Abo
lition programme, which is to prolong hos
tilities until after the coming Presidential
election, which they intend to carry by
military assistance, and then eon:well the
Southern States to accept their terms of
the Union's reconstruction. Those hav
ing control of the Administration will
never consent to a cessation of hostilities
as long as there is a slave in the South.—
To destroy slavery, even at the expense
of Northern liberty, the Abolitionists
famed the country into hostilities, and
they are now determined to continue the
struggle until their object is finally and
fully accomplished. If they aro not bent
upon the prclongation of hostilities, why
are they so deaf to the lamentations of
those in the South who are crying out for
peace? And, being insensible to these
cries, and at the same time savage in their
desires for the rigid enforcement of a con•
scription to reinforce the army, indicate,
very plainly, the ulterior designs of the
Abolitionists, in regard to the Southern
people. Southern subjugation and negro
emancipation are now the avowed objects
of those who control our National Admin
istration.
Bat a few weeks since a committee of
Louisiana planters wafted upon President
Lincoln and offered to bring their State
back into the Union with her old consti
tution. He refused their request. A
large party, in North Carolina, under the
lead of her Go7ernor, has been frighten
ing the rebel authorities, denouncing
them in a vigorous style, and praying for
a return to the Union. In Tennessee,
and in fact throughout nearly all the
Southern States, the Union men are de
sirous of shaking off - the rebel usurpation,
but no attention, whatever, is paid to their
appeals by our besotted and stolid ad
ministration. The people should reflect
upon
.these things and give intelligent
expression to their convictions at the ap
proaching election. Let us not be blind•
ed to this deep and dark designs of
Abolition conspirators against the con
stitution; nor be diverted by their noisy
and disgusting professions of superior
loyalty to %or Government—a Govern
ment which the are fast converting into
a despotism. IS old Union was hateful
to these fanatics; they involved the coun
try in a war to destroy it, and they are
continuing.hbetilities to fully accomplish
their object. Millions of innocent people,
both North and South, must yet suffer It
fore the bloody purposes'of Abolitionism
are accomplished. And'yet the man who
does notsubscribe to this monstrous pro
gramme ' denounced for
_disloyalty to
his Gayer_ t I
•,
With brave men, the hour of triumph
is always that of magnanimity, but our
bloody and brutal Abolitionists are actu
ated by no such feeling. They are deaf
to the cries of a kindred people, e-ixious
to be relieved from Davis' tyranny, their
thoughts being fixed upon the utter ruin
and devastation of the Southern country.
Is it possible that the people of Pennsyl
vania are so insensible to these things as
to endorse their champion at the coming
election•? We do not believe it. Two
years and a half of Abolition rule, bring.
ing with it, and continuing a war of carn
age and death, appalling to think of, to
gether with acts of tyranny and oppression
upon the rights of the people, uthst arouse
them to a sense of their condition. If
they do not, our system of government is
a wotul failure. If, because of indiffer
ence to our conditioc as citizens, or be.
cause of our blindness to party, the Amer
ican people deliberately ender: se the con•
duct of those in power, then we are no more
fit to preserve our popular system of guy
eTnment, than the degenerate and van
quished people of Mexico. But Pennsyl
vania will arise from her lethargy, and in
her might, do her share towards redeem•
ing, regenerating and disenthralling the
government from the pestilent graop of
its present administration. In the mean
time there is work to do in October : that
must be the prelude to the great achieve
ment of rescuing and saving an imperilled
Union—a confederacy of mighty and in
dependent States—independent of one
another, yet forming a mighty and majestic
whole. States which were "distinct as
the billows yet one as the sea."
Speaking on this subject in 18:.2, our
admirable candidate, .fudge Woodward,
spoke as follow :

RUMORED CALLING OUT OF
HALF A MILLION OF BLACK
TROOPS BY DAVIS
By a dispatch published in our tele
graphic column, it will be seen that ".fell'.
Davis, after consultation with the Gov
ernors of the Confederate States, has de
cided to call out half a million of black
troops, who are to receive their freedom
and fifty acres of land at the end of the
war.''
When we calculate that there were bio
four millions of slaves in the et.tire South
ern States, at the beginning of the rebel
lion, and that since then Kentucky, Mis
souri, Delaware, and nearly all of Ten
nessee, Louisiana and Arkansas, bcsidee
large portions of nearly all the remaining
slave States, have been recocquered by
our forces, we do not see how the halt
million of fighting darkies alluded to are
to be forthcoming. But if they are avail
able, we may conclude that when they are
in the field the entire fighting population
(white and black) of the South will be un
der arms. If the reports which we hove
seen be true, in ,relation to the' valor of
the Africans, we may expect hereafter
some terrible and obstinate feats-of arms.
The black men South, fighting for liberty
and a homestead, will, doubtless, exhibit
equal prowess to those fighting upon
our side, and if each exhibits the
valor, endurence and enthusiasm in bat
tle for which they have been credited,they
will undoubtedly make the most brilliant
record of the rebellion. The South has,
heretofore claimed that the negro was do
cile and wouldn't fight; but the glowing
accounts which the Abolitionists have
published of their exploits, have probably
induced the rebels to call half a million to
the field. At all events, between the
rebel traitors of the South and the Aboli
tionists of the North, the innocent cause
of our nation's misfortunes (the poor
African) are likely to suffer their full
share. Bnt we are inclined to doubt the
truth of the report in question.

Democratic Mass Convention m
Kittanning.
On Thursday, 27th of August, the
largest political convention ever held in
this county,came offas per announcement,
Old Armstrong did honor to herself and
the cause in this immense meeting, called
to vindicate the cause of the constitution
and Union, and assert the rights of free
speech and the ballot box. The thous•
Ands that crowded the streets were the
bone and sinew of the county. The greatest
enthusiasm prevailed, and at the same
time the most scrupulous, propsiety of con
duct marked the proceedings of the entire
day and evening.
In the afternoon speeches were deliver.
ed by Messrs. J. D. Hancock and Joseph
L. Hunter, of Pittsburg, and J. A. Mc-
Cullough, of Freeport. These speeches
were all master efforts—eloquent, argn
mentive, and convincing. The responsive
shouts sent up by the multitude gave most
ample proof that they were appreciated.
We understand that this was about the first
public speech ever delivered by Mr.
Hunter. We congrbtulate him. His bold
and manly tone as well as the true demo
cratic ring of his well polished sentiments
declared him a champion worthy of the
Cause.
In the evening speeches were made by
Messrs. Boggs, Ralston and Calhoun, to
a large and most enthusiastic audience.
The day of black Republican misrule
is about to close in the ligitimate way, or
else these great outpourings of the people
all over our State have lost their usual
significance. 81. EL-rums..

Fort wumter
The distraction of this famous fort having
no doubt ere this been accomplished by
the Federal army and Navy, a description
of it may not prove uninteresting to our
readers:—
Fort Sumter is a work of modern con
struction, and is known as a truncated
pentagonal fort. It is built upon an arti
ficial island at the mouth of Charleston
harbor, three and three-eighths miles dis
tant from the city of Charleston. This isl
and has fora base a sand and mud bank
with a superstructure formed of the re
fuse of several Northern stone quarries..
The Island itself coat a half million of
dollars and was ten years in the course of
construction. The fortification cost
another half million, and when Major
Anderson took possession of it it was so
mar completion that a portion of its gam
had ten placed in position. The walls
are of solid brick and concrete mason
ry, built close to the water's edge, with
out a berme. They are. sixty feet high
and from eight to twelve in thickness, and
are pierced for three tiers of guns on the
northeast and west exterior sides. Its
weakest point is on the south Bids, of
which the masonry is not only weaker
than the other sides, but it is not protect.
ed by any flank fire, which could sweep
the landing wharf. Once landed, a party
could have easily effdcted an entrance.
The work was designed for an arena
ment of one hundred and forty guns of
various calibres. Two tiers of guns are in
casemates, while the upper one is open or
cri Lai - hale; the lower tier for 42 pound
er Paixhan guns, aec3nd tier eight and
ten inch colurnidails, and the barbette
tier for mortars and 't pounder guns.
ft has been stated that in Fort Sumter
there are one hundred and four guns ready
for action, about fifty two (one-half) of
which are ten-inrlr columbiads, the rema
rider being eight und six inch Dahlgreens
and howitzers. There are four heav y
morters in the fort,one being stationed at
each corner. There are about twelve
r tied guns in the works; but in rouse
quenee of the explosion of one of these
Guns, by which au officer of high rank nar
rowly escaped losing his life, it had been
determined not to place any more reliance
upon such , pieces. They had, therefore,
given up the idea of rifling old guns, and
had thrown into disuse those already
rifled."
The fort, at the commencement of the
recent attack, was in about the earns con
dition as when taken by the rebels, it be
ing much irjured by the engagement of
April 1121 and lath. The only ahem
tions that had been made were iu the ofli
cers . quarters, which, it will he re-nem
bered, had been several times fired during
the fight in Ps1;1, and in the magazines.
With regard to the latter, some large, flat
stones, that had been sent from the North
to tlilg the fort, had been broken up and
made into a solid wall outside for the pro
tection of the two magazines. With re
gard to the former, the roofs hod been
lowered and built di at, with a covering of
concrete, sir that if n shell should burst
upon them it could not fire them or do
any other kind of material harm. The
appearance of the fort from the city shows
perti-rctly level top, nothit.g appearing
above the j.arapet at all. There were
about live hundred men in the fort, which
force was probably doubled when our op
eration; commenced.
An Opinion from on. Thaddeus
Stevens on the onscriptson Act.
The Lancaster i;.,-pryss publishes the
following opinion of Thaddeus Stevens
in regard to the (ALAI. of the payment of
the $'..;00 commutation by a draftcd man,
which sets forth the law of the case in so
clear a light that we cannot see why there
should be any coLltict of opinion on that
point. the conclusion arrived at is not
only law, but it is common sensmand laws
ought certainly to be construed in accord
ance with common sense

SI : Different decisions have been made
under the 13:11 section of the "Act
fur enrolling and calling out the National
Forces," as . to the «-ffect of the payment
of the $2OO commutation ; in the uncer
tainty so caused, may I ask you for your
opinion as to what the law of the case
What is the effect of the payment of the
SP,OO commutation, and for what length
of time does each payment exempt the
person paying 7
Yours, respectfully,
ED WARD REILLY
LANCASTER, August 27, 1863
DEAR SIR : In answer to your inquiry,
my opinion is that the payment of the s3oo
commutation and the furnishing a substi
tute have precisely the same effect. Either
of them frees the drafted man from further
draft for three years. He is in. effect in
service; either by himself or another.—
The-payment of $3OO makes the Govern
ment his agent to procure a substitute.--
The Government has consented to act as
such agent. The law says he may "on or
before the day fixed for his appearance
furnish an acceptable substitute, or pay
such sum not exceeding $3OO for the pro
curation of such substitute, and thereupon
the person furnishing the substitute, or
paying the money, shall be discharged
from further liability under that draft."—
No one doubts that furnishing excuses for
three years. To give a different Effect to
the payment of commutation seems to me
little less than an absurdity. It is a very
mrschievious misconstruction which, if
need be, I have no doubt, Congress will
correct.
