THE ABOLITION COUNTY
CONVENTION.
This body of local politicians re .as
gambled on Thursday to place in nomina
tion a candidate for Sheriff. Among the
resolutions adopted we find the following
in relation to Gov. Cartin :
7-Resoled, That we cordially endorse the nomina
tions made by the State Convention. and to An
drew U. Curtin. who, be ra. rain of tried and
approved service to the Etas.. made evident
his peculiar fitness for another and to the lion,
Daniel Agnew, the distinguished Jurist and loyal
citizen, as our candidates forl.Governor and Su
preme Judge, we pledge our undivided and cor
dial support,
Having no comment to make at present
upon this resolve, we adopt the following
from the Pittsburgh Gazette of the 20th of
July :
"Entrusted with the prii ilege of expending
the first appropriation made by the Legidature
for the common defense, he (Curtin) gave to his
own creatures the power of making contracts, as
his private agent., in relation to articles with
which they were entirely unfamiliar to the great
injury of the soldier, who was victimized by their
unskilfalnesi or fraud. This fact was found by a
committee, appointed by himeell, under the pres
sure of a public clamor, which grew nut of the
treatment of the vo:unteers who had assembled
at Harrisburg. Those brave young men who had
responded so generously to the first call of their
countrY, were in reps, with shoddy vestments.
shoes whose soles were stuffed with shavings, and
b ankets almost as thin and transparent as a
window pane. It WILY reported and believed that
they had been given over to the tender mercies
of a few heartless speculators who wore then
hovering about the capital,"
Another set of resolutions rejoicing over
the late election in Kentucky, were pass
ed, among which we find the following :
Resolved, That we must not be outdone by the
Union wen of any slave State, and we esk all the
loyal of Pennsylvania to elect Governor Curtin
by a majority equal to that given by the loyal
men of Kentucky.
In order to inform the members of the
late Convention the sentiments of the new
Governor of Kentucky, we select the fol
lowing extract of his inaugural address.
The dispatqh from Frankfort says : "In
his inaugural he contends that the revolt•
ed States did not change their Flatus by
rebelling. All that is necessary is for
them to return to their position as States;
the-rebellion did not• remit them to a ter•
ritorial condition."
He also says:
' have now, and will have, when the re
bellion closes, the identical Constitution which
the extremists seek to destr"y—the ono by inno
vation and the other by force. Dis not a re
stored Union—not a reconstructed t'nioh—that
Kentucky desires, but a preserved Union or a
restored peace upon a constitutional basis."
The new Governor strongly objects to
the arming of negro regiments, and asks:
What is to be done with such soldior3 at the
elose of the war 7-
If the Convention of Thursday had read
these sentiments it would not have rejoic
ed over the eloction of one who uttered
them. As to the majority which the Con
vention promisee Gov. Curtin, it will be
neither "here nor there." Soch a defeat
fil3 he will assuredly encounLer, will he the
most crushing political disaster of the
year. "The stars have said it," and the
people in October will "confirm the shining
sybble."
THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER
Our readers of course read that portion
of President Lincoln's letter published in
our issue of Thursday ; ,if they have they
can form an accurate idea of the whole of
it. The usual Bunsbyisins, thrown to
gether in a most slovenly manner, char
acterize this, the latest of his public per-
formances.
The intention of the letter was to an
nounce to the American people, that the
President's edict of emancipation is irre
vocable. This he announces in the fol
lowing characteristic manner : " But the
proclamation, as law, is valid or is not
valid. If it is not valid it needs no re•
traction. If it is valid it cannot be re
tracted, any more than the dead can be
brought to life.' ' -
The Presieent has, at last, informed
the people that his mind is made up to
adopt the radical programme ; hostilities,
therefore / will be conducted with a view
to the ultimate emancipation of the whole
negro population of the South. The Abo•
litionists of this county have endorsed this
view of the subject by passing, in their
late Convention, the following resolu
tion :
Rato,fv.,d, That 77c receive the President's Proc
lamation of January, 1563, as entmciative of the
policy, as far asit4 bearing in the most vital issue
of the time is concerned and that simple justice.
(if no more exalted consideration) to the race
who have proved their claim, so heroically, to a
cammon manhood with their fellows, in the
storming of Port liudsar. and the assault at Fort
Wagner, demands that its decree be aL fe hd..,
irritant/4e end final.
The President, and his party in this
county have thrown off the mask at last.
The war hereafter will be for the utter an -
nihilation of the Southern people. The
oppressed hundres of thousands who are
groaning under the rebel usurpation, and
who are longing for its suppression, must
suffer as well as the criminal leaders who
involved them in rebellion. The fell spirit
of Abolitionism is aimed at the Southern
people, and nothing will glut their" ven
geance short of Southern extermination.
The President labors to justify this in
famous policy by such reasoning as this :
"Among the commandant holding these views
are some who have never had any Affinity with
what is called abolitionism. or with •Republican
party polities; but who hold them purely as
military opinions. I submit their opinions as
being entitled to some weight against the objec
tions often urged that emancipation and arming
the blaoks are nowise as military measures, and
were not adopted as such in good faith."
The President, it will he seen, has
adopted the tactics of his partisan leaders
in quoting the opinion of some who were
formerly convected with the Democratic
party. Those who were, while Democrats,
like Ben. Butler, the most infamous of
tricksters, are now quoted by the radicals
as if their opinions were infalible. Bat,
when the people reflect . that the certain
path to military promotion, is the profes
sion of extreme Abolitionism, they will
be able to account for the opinions refer
red to. Were Ben. Butler, or any other
officer who is now living sumptuously off
of the government, to object to the Pres•
ident's idea of emancipation, he would
have his sword taken from him very end•
denly, and siac`fi trimmers as he is, are well
awale of it. The trick of referring to the
opinions of such men as being of any con•
' sequence, only betrays the utter poverty
of the cause the President advocates.
MYSTERI.OIIS
The following resolution was passed by
he late Abolition County Convention :
Resolved, That the proper authoritie; of the
State be and 'they are hereby earnestly requested
to make immediate preparation to have the vote
of onr soldiers in the armies of the Republic duly
taken and returned according to law at the ap
proaching general election.
Will the Gazette explain how the sol
diers are to vote " according to law ?"
We wish to see that there is fair play, and
therefore desire the information we ask
For tho Morning Post.
KINDNESS BETTER THAN
FORCE
Without wishing to encroach on upon
the work which "Morris" has been per
forming so well, allow me to call the at
tion of your readers to two items of his
tory, which appear to me to ha very in•
structive.
About 1600, Solomon emperor of
Turkey, on succeeding to the throne,
founk his country in a war with the Ger
mans, with its finances exhausted, the
people universally discouraged and com•
plaining, and the troops few in number
and without zeal, because they had been
forced into the army from their rural la
bors and were retained there only by fear.
He appointed Koproli, one of the great
est men of the empire, his grand vizier,
and he immediately began to reform the
errors of the last administration. He
published to the army that all the soldiers
had leave to go home, that he wanted
none in the army except those who came
volunteering out of zeal for the public
welfare, and Eirbacle the hashaws from en
rolling any more troops by force. The
honorable feelings of the country. thus
trusted by its leaders; immediately houn•
ded with patriotism, and the youth of the
country flocked in crowds to the standard,
of the grand vizier, and in a few months
he found "himself at the bead of a great
army.
Take another incident of his lite. One
day as ho was passing by a large town in
Bulgaria, he found it almost deserted, and
inquiring the cause, an old man answered
him—" Oar church was burnt down, and
the law tornids us to rebuild it, and our
youth have removed to a place where they
can enjoy the public benefits of our reli •
Koproli answered—"A Mussul
man cannot live where there is no mos
que, nor can a Christian where there is no
church near his dwelling. Go, my friend,
I permit you to rebuild your church; wor
ship your God in it, and be faithful to the
sultan." In token of gratitude for this
permission, he demanded a chicken from
each of the inhabitants and received fifty
three. Six months afterwards he visited
the same town, and made the same de
mand and received one hundred and twen•
ty five, and then said to those around him:
"See how differently the country prospers
under tolerance and severity. I make no
comments on these facts.
THERE are indications that some of the
Republican leaders and presses are corn•
ing to their senses. Senator Sherman,
.of Ohio, in a speech made at Dayton, re
marked :
A great deal is said about the President's
Emancipation proclamation. My idea of
it is that this war would have been prose
cuted more successfully if the President
had not said anything about the negro.
But the following from the NeNfburyport
Herald, a Republican paper, is more sig
nificant :
"Seven•eights of the people, all of them
ont.of New England, except such as have
freshly emigrated from here, and a few
red Republican Germans, would be in
favor of a restoration of the Union upon
the old basis, leaving all questions of
local institutions aside, and letting the
punishment of the rebel leaders take place
under national or State laws, as they have
always existed. If, therefore, the opposi
tion should make this the rand issue,
they would force the Republicans to say
yes or no to it. It they assented, the
North would be a unit with the exception
of the abolitionists, who would not carry
more than two States for their theory of
subjugation, extermination, ruination and
damnation. If, on the other hand, the
radicals should get the ascendancy in the
conventions, and say no to tho proposi
tion for restoring the Union as it was,then
they would fall into a lesser minority than
did the Whig party of 18.12.
All this is true as gospel,
Revenue Decision
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that in a case where a testa
tor dies bequeathing an estate in money
to his wife and daughter, for life, with
the remainder to the survivor, after the
death of the survivor the same to go to the
remote kindred, the tax upon the whole
estate upon the whole estate must be paid
before the executor makes any distribu
tion. The lite interest of the wife is to
be estimated by approved tables of life
annuities, upon which interest no tax is
to be charged. The interest of the
daughter, computed by the same tables,
is taxed three-fourths of one per cent. The
remainder of the estate bequeathed to re
mote kindred is to be taxed one' and one
half per cent.
The Lower Mississippi Trade.
An impudent scheme is reported on
foot to throw the lower Mississippi trade,
during the period of military occupation,
into the hands of a monopoly. Several
prominent Western politicians of both
parties have been laboring to this end
lately, claiming to represent a capital, in
Now York and elsewhere of five millions.
We understand that the projcet has met
with bat small encouragement thus far,
but those interested in its success feel
themselves justified in pers!vering. Un
der the President's proclamation of the
81st of March last, the regulation of this
trade rests exclusively with the Treasury
Depart neat.
Military Arrests in Hagerstown—
The Parties brought to this City
and Disposed of.
Yesterday the following named parties
arrived in this city under military guard
from Hagerstown, and were arraigned be
fore Colonel Fish, on -the charges speci
fied, and their cases disposed of as stated:
William Brown, charged with giving in
formation to the rebels, was sent to Fort
McHenry to be tried by a military commis
-Bioll. George Julius, charged with point
ing out the Union men to the rebel sol
diers, was also sent to Fort McHenry to
await trial. Joseph Young, charged with
attempting to go South and also with ns•
ing treasonable language and approving
of the actions of Mr. Young. Baer and
Young were sent to Fort McHeny to be
tried by a ,military commission.—Balti

A COUPLE were engaged to be married,
the other day, in Chicago and every prep
aration was made to celebrate the nuptials,
but the bridegroom did not appear. A
messenger, however, brought the ner to
the waiting party that he had been drafted
in New York and could not leave. The
reply of the young lady was worthy the
occasion. With tear-drops glistening in
her eyes, and her heart ready to burst with
grief she turned to the company and said:
"I keer a darn; there s plenty more
men in the world, anyhow !"
AMONG the latest creations at Washing
ton is a bureau for the apprehension of
deserters. Under its operations two thou
sand were arrested and returned to their
regiwuts in May ; four thousand in June,
and six thousand in July. Twelve thou•
sand in three months, and still the work
goes bravely on. The soldiers appear to
be getting discontented with the manner
in which the "heir to the aspirations of
John Brown" in managing the war.
IT is only a little more than a year—Ju•
ly f,, 1862—since Mr. Seward, as Secreta
ry of State, wrote to Mr. Adams, our Min
ister to England as follows :
"It seems as if the extreme advocates
of African slavery and its most vehement
opponents were acting in concert togeth
er to precipitate a servile war—the former
by making the most desperate attempt to
overthrow the Federal Union, the latter
by demanding an edict of universal eman•
cipation as lawful and necessary, if not,
as they say. the only legitimate way of ba
ying the Union."
The Lawrence, (Kansas) Massacre.
Three citizens of Leavenworth, (Kan
sas,) have published a card denying the
statement that eighty of Quantrell's men
engaged in the massacre at Lawrence,
have been cArtaken and killed. They
say " that money and other valuable prop•
erty has been returned, but none is be
lieved to have been re-captured, and but
thirty or forty sympathizers were killed.
We have authentic information that no
more than twelve of Quantrell's gang en•
gaged in this expedition were captured or
killed.' '

Emancipation in Missouri
The radical emancipationists of Missou•
ri, met on Tuesday in Jefferson City, for
the purpose of nominating candidates for
the supreme judgeship of the State. Most
of the counties of the State were represent
ed in the convention. A reaolution was
read and referred favoring an appeal to
the President to change the military ad
ministration of the State ? in order to cor•
rect the evils of the policy of pro-slavery
conservatism aad concession to the rebels,
which, they say, have already permitted
the Lawrence massacre.
Leather Bonnets and Flowers
Dame rashion now endorses the gen
erally received opinion that for some
things there is "nothing like leather."—
The Philadelphia Gazette says :
We yesterday were shown ladies bon
nets made of leather. What is more,
they are very pretty. In a week or se
they will be in the market. We also ex
amined very beautiful artificial dowers,
the foilage of which was made of the same
material. The colors are almost the na
tural hue of the material—russet, in dif
ferent shades. The pride is about the
same as for flowers with foilage of muslin
or velvet.
Icebergs
The ship Pacific, which arrived at New
York on Tuesday from Cardiff, reports on
that on the eastern edge of the banks she
saw a great many icebergs, and was obliged
to steer to the southward to avoid them.
Barque Wm. Sinclair, from Newry, Ire•
land, passed icebergs on the 18th tilt„ in
lat 43 3',1, 4S 09. Barque Margaret, from
Westport, Ireland, makes a similar report.
Another Woman Drafted
A woman named Regina Hoohstadter,
residing in the eighth ward, Brooklyn,
was-drawn as a conscript on Tuesday. It
appears that she keeps a small store, and
when the enrolling officer called for the
name of her husband she told him he
could take it from the sign much better
than she could tell him. Her name being
ou the sign instead of that of her husband.
it was placed on record, and she was duly
enrolled and draftud.
Our Powder Works
The Union Powder works, in New Dur
ham, N. H., turnout two tons of powder
per day for the Government. These
works, with three other large establish
ments, furnish a large portion of the pow
der used in this war. The Dupont Works
Wilmington, Dal. Hazzard, in Connecti
cut, Oriental, in Maine, and the Union,
in New Hampshire, have turned out at a
rate of 400 barrels per day.
Toni Ford
Tom Ford, who lost us Harper's Ferry,
with 10,000 men, and hosts of arms and
ammunition, is on the stump in Ohio, de
nouncing the "copperheads." No cop
perhead has ever so faithfully served the
rebels as he did.
A Sequence.
The story of the apples in Bridgeport
that roasted on the trees during the hot
weather, has brought out an account of a
growing leaf of tobacco, which was tolled
up in the form of a cigar and smoked !
Shocked
The electric flaid passed down the entire
body of Miss Cornelia Jewett, carrying off
a gaiter hoot she wore, during a recent
thunder storm in West Wrentham, Mass.
Though shocked and indignant, Miss
Jewett still survives, says the Boston Post,
The Stuarts

Virginia and Maryland campaigns as active
rebel officers, are descended from David
Stuart, of Inverness, in Scotland,--who
claimed as his ancestor an illegitimate
brother of Queen Mary, - Iniplicatelhn

Gibbons, member of Parliament for Mid
dleset,) and her sister being at the time
on a viait to Virginia. Stuart succeeded
in winning her affections and she married
him.
A. Turk Executed for Killing a
A letter from Rev. S. 11. Calhoun, at
Mount Lebanon, Syria, dated July 13th,
says :
We have great peace on the mountain
nnder the government of Fend Pasha. A
Moslem was executed a few days ago in
Sidor, for killing a Jew. Such an enforce
ment of, the claims of justice was, I pre
sume, never heard of before amonng the
Moslems, and probably never among the
Christians in this empire.
The Government Funds Lost on
the Steemer•Ruth
Advices have been received at the Treas
ury, stating that contrary to all expecta
tion, further search on the wreck of the
Rath, has brought to light a portion of the
Government funds supposed to have been
burned. The packages taken out were
burned to the depth of an inch and char
red to the centre. In some cases the de
nomination can be distinguished. A spe
cial agent will at once be sent on to take
charge of the money so recovered.
Ingenious Gunnery
During the recent bombardment of
Fort Wagner from the new Ironsides, it
was found impossible to drive the balls
through the sand and cotton of which the
work is made, or to elevate the guns so as
to toss the shot in as from a mortar. The
goners resorted to the experiment of de
pressing the pieces, whereby the balls,
striking the water about fifty yards from
the beach, bounded upward and over
into the fortress. This was remarkably
successful. "Those are what I call bil
liards," said the captain, watching the
firing. "They carom on the bay and
pocket the ball in the fort every time.
Navigation of the Ohio Betarded
by Oil.
A Louisville paper notices the fact that
such large quantities of oil having been
emptied into the Ohio river from the Al
legheny connecting with the Pennsylva
nia wells, that the wheels of steamers are
coated with a slimy mixture and retarded
in their revolutions. Greasing wheels
usually makes them revolve more rapidly,
but thin case is an exception.

Gen. Gilmore's battery kept firing on
Wagner. Fort Sumter was silent, though
the rebel flag waved over the ruins.
• The result of the attack was nnkown

Passengers aboard the Union report that
Fort Wagner was silenced, and that the

Nim Foal:, September 4,—The Tribune
has the following :
Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
September 3,—lnformation having been
received that a naval expedition was to
be sent np the Rappahannock to retake
the gunboats Satellite and Reliance, Gen,
Kilvor;nl.- ono almotad to move down
with his cavalry division and co-operate
in such a manner as circumstances might
require. Ia accordance with these instruc
tions, Kilpatrick moved, yesterday morn
ing, to the vicitat; of Corben's Neck,
where. the captor d innboats were lying,
causing the rebel cavalry in the vicinity
to precipitately ford the river.
Finding no gunboats appearing to en
gage the Reliance and Satellite, he order
ed the batteries of Elder and Faller to
open upon them. The boats were moored
to the shore, opposite Corben's Neck,
and having no steam up, they were una
ble to escape. They were completely rid•
died and diSabled, and can never again
be used by the enemy.
The enemy played upon our force for a
short time with a few field pieces, without
damage, but were speedily quieted. These
boats were merely tugs, altered for navy
business.
Scouting parties of infantry and cavalry
combined are in the habit of leaving

have been certain indications or txpres
gions dropped by those high command
warrant the assumption,
The reported demonstration of Lee's
army is much exaggerated. It is again in
excellent fighting condition.
Deserters are far less numerous than
stated both from and to our lines.
CINCINNATI, September 4.—Quite an
excitement was created at Dayton, last
night, over the arrest, by the military au
thorities, of two men named Huber and
Speelman for the murder of Lieut. Water-
man. The civil authorities demanded
them for trial upon a writ of habeas cor,
pas, but the Provost Marshal, under in.
On:Lotions from General Cox, refused to
surrender them. The militia has been
called into requisition to take them by
force.
The Commercial's dispatch from Rose•
crane' army, represents all quiet:
From forty to fifty deserters come in
every day.
Since the army Greased the river, the
bridge at .Bridgeport has been repaired,
and the trains are crossing. The country
South of the river is very rough, and roads
bad.
Reconnoissances are sent out daily to
near Cape Lookout mountain.
The rebel force still occupies a strong
position.
Deserters think we will have no fight at
Chattanooga.
