FOR GOVERNOR, GEORGE W. 'WOOD WARD, FOR SUPREME JUDGE, WALTER. 11. LOWRIE THE CONVENTION" TO DAY The Democratic Convention, which meets in the Ccurt House to-day, has but little to do, but still we trust to hear of that little having been done well. The nomina tions to be made are for Judge of the Dis trict Court, Sheriff, Clerk of Courts, Treas urer, Recorder, Register, Commissioner, Director of the Poor, and five members of Assembly. Let a good ticket be put in nomination. There are plenty of first rate men in the party, who would make admirable candidates, and we expect the Convention to put some of them in nomi nation. We trust that harmony and good humor will characterize the proceedings, and that the election in October will tri umphantly endorse their action. STUPENDOUS POLITICAL FRAUD IN CONTEMPLATION. Under the pretext ot presenting Gen. Meade a sword, in the name of the Penn sylvania Reserve Corps, Governor Curtin and tome of the most desperate politicians of the State, on Friday last, visited the Army ot the Potomac, to commence their operations upon the soldiers, in view of their being sent home in t)ctober to vote for his continuance in an office which he has so shamefully outraged. Among the patty was the inevitable Forney. He seems to be always about, like the boys in New York. When-iver the Union League in Philadelphia has an interesting demon stration, he is on hand, fussy as usual , when Governor Curtin has a convivial gathering in Harrisburg, Forney is there also, while nothing ot the least impor tance in Washington escapes his personal supervision and attention. When the Cabinet meets he is seen snuffling about the door and keyhole, gathering items out of which to manufacture editorials similar to the one he lately published about the several Governors "being wrapped in the mantle of profound meditation." The late visit to General Meade was far too important an event to be neglected by one who delights in politicat intrigue; it was the beginning of an arrangement by which Curtin expects to be reelected, aid "honest John" had to be present in order to make the party complete. We appre hend, however, that it will be somewhat difficult for the Administration to send Re publicans enough from the army of the Po tomac to:insure the success of their scheme. A few regiments were sufficient to decide the contests in Connecticut and New Hampshire against the Democracy of those States, but in Pennsylvania, this fall, it will require halt of the votes of Gen. Meade's army. Besides, we are not certain that this sword presentation will so influence the General who received it, as to induce him to be a party to Curtin's intended outrage. If hostilities against the rebels in Virginia are to be suspended f in order that the soldiers from Pennsylva nia may come home to vote, Gen. Meade will earn for himself everlasting infamy, if he does not act impartially by letting all come, regardless of their political convi,•• tione. Should he permit the War Depart ment to deplete his army iu order to cheat the people of his native State out of their suffrages, he will insure for himself an infamy which will do much to dim the lustre of his great achievement at Gettys• burg. if the brave men iu the field are desirous of returning home to vote, and it the Administration are anxious that they should, let us have a fair ballot, and a‘.l will be satisfied. The powers that be, however, had better not begin so danger ous an experiment with the freemen of Pennsylvania as to insist upon prolonging their existence by an unfair vote of the army, There are some few things which the people will not put up with—one of them is the usurpation of the ballot-box. Gov. Curtin, therefore, and his sat of desperate political gamesters had better do the fair thing and submit with the best grace possible to the crushing defeat with which he is bound to Le overtaken in (1r tober HE HAS STOMACH FOR THEM The sanguinary individual who daily fills the editorial columns of the Pittsburgh Gazelle, with small caps, italics, exclama tion-points and fine latin, yesterday turn ed his attention to the demolition of the Governor of New York. Pennsylvania is not large enough for this soaring genius ; " he bestrides the narrow world like a col lossus," and now, after having crushed -the Supreme Judges of our State, and ut terly annihilated our candidate for Gover nor, he goes off in search of other victims, beginning with the head of the Empire State. Has this man no pity? His driving Gen Scott from the head of the Army, and his subsequent successful tilt against McClellan, beside his efforts in remov ing several small try from the ser vice, because they were not entirely Abolitionised, ought to satisfy the most inexorable Abolitionist in America. But there seems to be no limit to the ferocity of the person in question. Lie is weighed down with the weight of his responsibility and will not cease his efforts through the Gazette so long as there is a slave "clank ing in chains." This idea haunts him day and night, and presses upon his heated brain, like the pressure of "guilty damned deeds on sinners minds." We admonish our contemporary to keep within modera tion, end in order to assist in calming hira, we suggest a repernsal of his articles in relation to Gen. Curtin. The following elegant extract will do for a beginning,: s_•• "It'esumdt ire disputed, we think , that his administration hub Proved eminently disastrous to the party whi,-h ha brought 111111 pilVrer, Ti, if has been an on 'stun ale c. • .9.7te. the ;.ie.tent rondit‘bn of hr • 111,1 mt u nl it lAp We,/ re re,. es • • “btte•liturly attest.

Greek Fire The Greek fire was used by the Greek Architect who escaped from the Mahom medans when they were assailing Con stantinople. He carried his invention with him and committed great havoc upon the enemy with this fire. It was in use down to the thirteenth century, but its compoeition.us unknown. Men of science differ widely in their suppositions respect• ing its ingredients. Some have conjectur ed that uaptha was the principal substance but naptha cannot be made to produce the (fleets that belonged to the Greek ii:, . It was used in firing cannon, and riartha cannot be used in that way. A bout forty years ago it was announced in the Maga zine of Discoveries that the recipe for making Greek fire had been found in an old Latin manuscript but since that we have heard nothing more about it.

Perhaps the ;Irv, place where the thought is expressed. is to the book eallEd The Wisdom of Solomon, ch. vv. 1,5, 6.

I find hie eulogy of it appended ts, a l a t er work of Dove, ca11 , ,.in , -it s of Science,.in which the above ideas are morn fully developed. The same pm, ciple of natural equality is carried out into a very similar pelit:cai system by limn I!ERT SPI, , SPER in his work called St , ciat Statics, in which are contained the earns denunciations of all existing governments, of all authority, and of al; reverence fur law. All CoNimo‘i,r and So, rAi ` , T systems are founded on the same principle, and generally they allow of no private prop erty, no rights against the will of the ma jprity, no husbands, no wives, no children, all persons and things common, ss with a herd of bufisloes. It was by this princi ple that MUNT7F-R, in the sixteenth centu ry, ;,(1 the Anabaptists to rebel against all government and law, but that of the saints; to adopt polygamy; to spurn the Bible as against their spirit, and to bring on a war that cost the lives of over 50,000 people. 831ST CliNi • (/`;2'M carries the principle further. and says not only that all men are equal, but that spirit and matter are equal, be cause equally divine ; and therefore, that wisdom and intelligence are no better than beauty and force,and that all the pas sions of the neap are holy, and entitled to full gratification ; and that all restraints ; upon them by marriage and otherwise are unnatural and illegitimate. It is of course a - bald , system of license. Such, sir, are sorne of the pitrlncidons- C'olldillOn and of these m,la physical politicians, and they are a fair nainpie of the whule lot.

Thirty colored refugees from St. Charles county arrived here to day and reported to Capt. Johnson. They state that the rebel officers are busily engaged in con scripting negroes and hiding them iu the pines until an opportunity offers to carry them away. They also report that guns, swords, pistols, tc., are accumulated there, having been gathered up on various battle fields by rebel sympathizers and forwarded to the rebels of that county, by whom they are sent to the rebel army. The following is from the Charleston Courier : The attention of housekeepers and ci lens generally is directed to the notice recommending that a constant supply of water be kept on hand to extinguish the fire of the enemy's incendiary shells ex ploding in the city. We learn that an or der is to be issued for all persons posses. sing cotton to have it removed, promptly, from the limits of the city, as its presence during the bombardment from the en emy's shells is considered dangerous.
