THE COUNTY CONVENTION
YESTERDAY
The Democratic County Cenvention,
yesterday, the proceedings of which w e
publish in our local department, was
one of the best, as regards both charac-
ter and numbers, we have seen for a-num
ber of years. The proceedings were her•
monious ; the resolutions, adopted brief
and to the point ; and the ticket selected
for the suffrages of the people is really
excellent.
The spirit and numbers of this Conven•
tion plainly indicate a quiet and wide
spread reaction going on among our citi
zens. Every delegate we conversed with
had encouraging news from his neighbor
hood, promising good results to our gal.
lant old party in October. The ex
perience of the past two years and
a half has taught the people a most
impressive lesson. Before the Abo
litionists obtained power, we all rested so
securely in the enjoyment of our rights,
that we did not appreciate them; but now
that these rights are being taken from us
one by one, the people are beginning to
grow apprehensive of what may happen.
In the name of necessity upon the part of
these in power, and their insisting that to
criticise the ante of the Administration is
disloyalty to the Government, they may
go on until they have themselves firmly
fixed as permanent rulers of the people.
Neqatitrity is ei'.'very generic term; in its
name-gterifritintrages have been perpetra
ted, and the apprehension is that "worse
remains behind•"
HOW To 'END THE WAR AND
• RESTORE THE UNION.
On Monday last we published a letter
from a Mr. John Adams, whose character
for veracity was strongly endorsed by the
National Intelligencer, giving an account
of the state of feeling in regard to the re
bellion throughout several of the South
ern States through which he lately trav
eled. After alluding to the despondency
among the rebel leaders, because of their
late reverses, Mr. Adams, speaking of the
masses of the Southern people, remarks :
'• 'view of these simple troths I wtmld ask,
Messrs. Editors, through the medrom of Your
invaluable journal, the President cannot milord
to be magnanimous." If, after the fall of Charles
ton, ho eann , t afford to o ff er .ome te -me ?chich
cacti induce the great body of the vouthern people
to return to their allegiance to the Federal I , nl ,7J
ant the Government of th, [Tutted State, If he
be ambi ions of en iable fame, he will do it:
if he desires to be remembered as the second
WASIIINGTON, he will do i•: if he wishes to on
cure to himself the Appellation of .4 brahow the
Cheat, he will do it ; if he wi , hes to imimte the
example of Him who call, "(in thou am! 110
men' he will do it: and, I may add, if he wishes
to proclaim the r opular sentiment rf the Amer
ican people, and Ihe sentiment of hunanity,
civilization and Christianity throughout the
word. he will do it; which Clod grant, for peace's
sake."
The publication of the letter in question
hae aroused the rage and indignation of
the radicals throughout the country.—
The idea of the war "for the Union,"
being concluded, before their darling
schemes of emancipation and Southern
subjugation are fully consummated, is
harrowing up their vf:ry souls. Among
the wort of them is, of course, the Pitts
burgh Gazette; which responds to Mr.
Adam's appeal for peace by the with•
drawal of the emancipation proclamation,
as follows :
"And now, John Adams, Jr., we have a me, Bare for your friends. Toll them for us, that if
the act of the Praaident was valid—" what
i iawrit
is writ," and befaro 'leaven and earth is rre
vocab'e, Tell ;hem that if it was not valid. it is
a nullity in itself, and the Courts will so cle , lare
it. as the President cannot. Say t your fri nit
of the It /he, ~,, toe. that the eountr.v will re
lase to accept its alternative of L'a wn and
SIOVM'• or freedom and protrrtott d roar, however
much it may labor to marry the hawk and the
drive, or join those thinrs torether, between
which God and nature have decreed an eternal
separation. 'Yr o have tried the I Mon
and found it would net work."
The crumbling of the rebellion through
out the South, the lamentations of the
people over their disasters, and their
anxiety to return to the Union, are forcing
the i'adicals to announce what they have
all along endeavored to conceal. Their
pretended war "for the Union" was a
cheat, a villainous swindle to deceive the
people. They commenced hostilities, not
for the preservation of our I"nion, but for
the destruction of slavery they have pro
longed hostilities for the same purpose,
and they now openly proclaim their deter
mination to accept no restoration of the
Union until their bloody purposes are
finally and completely accomplished. Bat
are the people, the sober, seriou, and re
flecting masses prepared to sustain a war for
exterminating the innocent white millions
of the South, in order to give freedom to
some millions of slaves ? Are hostilities to
be continued indefinitely in order to rip
pease the vengeance of bloody and brutal
Abolitionists, who, in safety at home, exult
in carnage and blood? These questions
the people of Pennsylvania will be called
upon to decide at the approaching elec
tion. For, be it remembered, that if the
people of our State endorse by their un
trammeled suffrages the party in power,
thereby giving them an additional lease of
office, the radical element, of the Gazette
c l a ss, will force the national Administration
to rigidly enforce all of their programme.
The Southern States will not be permitted
to return to the Union, except upon Abo
lition conditions. The millions of the
North may long'for a cessaticn of hostili
ties, which are, unnecessarily, killing off
their relatives and friends ; but the inex
orable spirit of Abolitionism will not yield
to their entreaties for peace. Conscrip
tion acts will be renewed to raise addi
tional forces to be used for Abolition pur
poses, and the very blood and agony of
the nation exhausted in endeavoring to
•secure Negro Emancipation. The ac
knowledgment of this monstrous intention
,
i ghould :; pat tke people to thinking. -Fins
tilities can easily terminated, if' the
Abolitionists will but gay so. Will they
do it " That is the question."

Singular Freak of Lightning
The Detroit ..4dvertiser, after stating
that during a thunder storm on Sunday
afternoon last, a young lady named Dunn
was killed by lightning, adds .—••About
the time of the occurrence a flssh of light
ning struck the bayonet of a gun in the
hands of a soldier in a sentry box at the
barracks, running down the barrel and
splintering it into several pieces, without
doing any irjury to the soldier except to
stun him rather severely. After having
his gun Bo unceremoniously snatched out
of his hand, the soldier stepped from the
sentry box ard called Corporal of the
Guard ' post No. x. Pretty good soldier
to stand such a "fire" asstbat, and coolly
perform his duty in calling his officer.
He had joined the service only a few days
before as a recruit for the 27th regiment.
He'll do to fight rebels."
A DIFFEREIICE between the. Republican
and Democratic parties is this—a few
years' service in - the former party unfits a
man for office and he is laid on the shelf
to make room for some man from the De
mocratic party.

RAPrAIIANNOCK RivEttiVA l Aug. 29.
We have just been up tol:rbanna on
the Rappahannock River to look after the
Reliance and Satellite, but could not find
them. We found, however, the remains
of two schooners that hEid been taken and
burnt the night after the gunboats were
captured. The gunbhats are at a fort at
Port Royal on the river. The intention
of the rebels is to dismount the guns and
take out the machinery. The eircum•
stancee of the capture were these. viL :
For some. time past an organization of
marines have been stationed in Matthews
county with large boats on wheels, and on
Saturday night last, while none but the
Reliance and Satellite were in the River,
these boats, with about 100 or no men
came off, and on being hailed answered
"Commodore Morris." When along side
they jumped on board and compelled
them to surrender. The total force on
both boats was men, 7on a watch. A.
M. Mate Walters, commanding the Reli•
ante was severely wounded. I We have
several of the Reliance's crew whom we
picked up at Urbanna. Capt. Walters
was also put on board one of the "'ladle
boats.

Richmond has again been aroused by a
Yankee raid. On this occasion the enemy's

very indistinctly known, and retired with
out destroying anything worthy of notice,
on eluding troops posted to dispute their
further progress. The significance of this
apparently idle movement. is not yet un
derstood. It may he a reconnoissance
preparatory to a second advancd in force
from the Peninsula. It is, more probably.
the result of the hallucination, which now
and then takes possession of the North,
that Richmond is without a garrison or
guard, and that a few audacious regiments
may enter it, rob it, fire it, and return
with Mr. President Davis in custody, be
fore any considerable body of Confeder
ate troops could come to the rescue.—
Their spies see few soldiers in the streets
of llichmond, and inform them there are
none near the town. They come: they
not only find troops, but troops posted by
a competent hand ; they move around
the city as rats around a trap, and then go

The Story about the Invasion of
Canada—D'Arcy McGee's Bug
bear Destroyed.
Some time ago, Mr. Thomas - D'Axcry
McGee published in the 'Montreal iirozette
a communication intimating that tie icne;; ,
that it was the purPose. of the American
Government to invade Canada by sending
one hundred thouennd men to Montreal,
to cut the country in two. This announce
ment, coming from an ex-Cabinet Minis
ter, occasioned no little excitement in
the Canadas,which, however, was allayed
by subsequent qualifications of the alarm
ing statement, showing that its only
foundation was an alleged conversation of
one Mr. Hart, of Montreal, with Secretary
Sewatd, Mr. llart now comes out under
his own name, giving an account of the
conversation in question, which, it will
be seen, was not with Mr. Seward at all,
and only a military opinion as to the tac
tics that were to be pursued in event of
a war. The following is Mr. Hart's let-
ter :
"Q: Env', August 11, 1533
"Dirks HOLTON : You imagine my sur
prise and mortification, on taking up this
morning's newspaper, to find that Mr.
McGee had dragged Mr. Seward, Mr.
Grinnell, and my name before the public
in his speech last night relative to militia
affairs. As his version of the conversa
tion, as coming from me to you, is not cor
rect, but the reverse of what I stated of
my last interview with Mr. Seward,
I wish you to take the earliest possible
moment to place them right. I did not
state to you that Mr. Grinnell was with
me at Washington. I took a letter of in
troduction from Mr. Grinnell to Mr. Se
ward. I did not state to you, nor did
Mr. Seward tome, of any thought on his
part, or that of the United States Gov
ernment, of invading Canada; but the re
verse. Mr. Seward spoke confidently of
amicable relations, and in the highest
terms of our present position and form
of Government. You will thus see how
wrong has been the use of Mr. Seward's
name. I did tell you of a communication
a high military man had with me in Wash
ington, about the tactics that would prob
ably he followed in the event of a war
with England—that too 000 men could,
at short notice, be concentrated and thrown
across the St. Lawrence, about or helow
the laland of Montreal, kc., and
you may possibly have contounded'his re
marks wtila Mr. Seward's. Some con
ot names and circumstances in re
spect of a casual conversation held more
than, a year ago, to which no particular
importance was attached by either of us,
is not to be wondered at. But the refer
/MOO to Mr. Grinnell, as well as myself,
having been made, I deem it my duty to
these gentlemen to give a true statement
of the facts.
"Yours. tmlv.

Nsw YORK, September 2.—A special to
the Times, dated Washington, Sept. let,
says : The beet attainable information lo
cates General Lee in Richmond, and his
army scattered from the line of the Blue
Ridge on the west, to Port Royal and the
Rappahannock river on the east, and
south as far as the line of the Virginia
Central Railroad. His trope are widely
scattered to facilitate subsisting. Gen.
Ewell has the left, and A. P. Hill the
centre, laying on the railroad from Cul
pepper to Orange Court Howe, while
Longstreet holds the extreme right, occu
pying the line of the Richmond and Fred
ericksburg Railroad. Cook's brigade of
North Carolina troops occupies Fred
ericksburg, Jones' brigade of cavalry iB
said to have gone back to the Shenandoah
valley, and Robinson to Richmond.—
Stuart is still in command, but growing
more and more unpopular. It is exgect
ed that he will be relieved by Wade
Hampton.
Rebel guerrillas continue in oar rear.—
One of Kilpatrick's body guard having
been killed, permission was given the
guard to hunt guerrillas. They have been
at it three days, with great success.—
Rebel deserters still continue to come in
squads, and are ready to take the oath of
allegiance, but of those who have done so
andliave been sent as substitutes to our
army, some have since, after stealing
horses and committing other depredations,
managed to rejoin their old rebel com•
A large nutnher of contrabands escaped
yesterday from Charles county, Md.—
They report that the, rebel agents are
picking up every negr ) they can find.
It is scarcely necessary to state that the
dispatch published in New York, purport.
ing to give the sentiments of the Presi
dent's letter to the Springfield meeting, is
entirely devoid of foundation.
NEw YORK, September 2.--A Tribune
Washington special says ilk Lieut. Burgess,
with thirty of Col. Baker's mounted ran
gers, went on a reconnoisance yesterday
in search of a camp of White's guerrillas,
which they found just beyond Leesburg,
and encamped near it last night. This
morning the party were attacked by about,
two hundred cavalry and forced to re
treat. During the skirmish Lieut. Bur
gess's horse was ahot, but the Lieutenant
succeeded in hiding, and saw the rebels
ride by in pursuit of his men. He then
made his way to the Potomac, and cross
ed at Point of Rocks. There he learned
that a large number of Imboden's caval
ry had gone down the river. The whole
torce of Imboden and White amounted to
about 1,000 men. They were prevented
from crossing at Edwards' Ferry by initial
try stationed there.
At Point of Rocks it was rumored that
force of 5,000 or 6 000 rebels were at
tempting to cross below, and to-night sev•
eral pieces of artillery were sent down to
prevent such an attempt from being suc
cessful. There are rumors that a large
forge of rebel cavalry were at Great Falls,
eleven miles from Washington. Proba
bly some body of our cavalry will be sett
gent in pursuit, and can hardly fail to meet
them.
The report that Lee, with fifty thousand
men, had crossed the Rappahannock at
Port Conway, is discredited hare, no
such intelligence having reached the War
Departmett. It is conceded here by the
best military authorities that Lee must
commence offensive operations this morn•
ing or disband his army. It is believed
that to this end he is concentrating anoth
er large army for an invasion, which is his
only hope, and to be attempted as a last
resort. To meet these eanected move
ments of Lee, the Army of the Potomac
will be on the alert.
Cieneral Meigs, Quartermaster General,
has been ordered to the Army of the Po
tomac. Rumor has it that both he and
the Surgeon General are in disfavor, acd
neither will return to their posts.
We learn that the President has receiv
ed a letter from General Grant, in which
he not only pledges himself to aid Adju
tant General Thomas in his labors, but
heartily endorses the emancipation proc
lamation and the:raising of colored troops,
and earnestly expresses the opinion that
with the latter, great results can be at
tained.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.—The Herald's
special from WaShingtan says: When the
officers of the captured gunboats Reliance
and Satellite are liberated there will be a
searching investigation, and if the boats
were lost through carelessness or coward
ice, as represented, the parties will be se
verely punished.
The Xord'a special
.states that. it is
learned from private sources that General
Hood, Stuart's successor, has - been
,reor
ganising his cavalry a Culpepper, with' the
intentiovf making a raid in a direction
unknown. .
NEW Yoe; September 2.—A special
from Washington; dated the 2tl says: The
. .
Departments are without any Inter or ad
ditional information, either official or
otherwise, than has already been pub
lished in regard to operations at Charles•
ton. Gen. Gilmore and Admiral Dahl
gren report that everything is progressing
favorably. Requisitions for mep and ma
terial have been promptly filled, and the
conduct of the siege is left entirely to their
discretion, with every confidence that
they will finally meet with complete sac.
