COUNTY CON( ISSTON ER JACOB KEIL. DIRECTOR OP THE POOR, W. N. WIGHTBIAN THE WAR IN VIRGINIA., We had by telegraph on Saturday the announcement that deserters from Gen. Lee's army report that he is preparing for "another raid across the Potomac," and that "his army is again in excellent fight ing condition." This is strange news, and, what is still stranger, it is considered true. A year ago Gen. McClellan took com mand of 11 whipped army, which had been chased by Lee's forces almost to the City of Washington, and went in search of the victorious rebels. He gave them battle and vanquished them at the stubborn en• gagement of Antietam. Leo was com pelled to abandon his design of quartering upon the soil of either Pennsylvania or Maryland. A few weeks after the battle of Antietam, (which, by the way, the President in his late letter to Springfield places at the head of our military achieve ments,) McClellan was removed from the head of the army, and that, too, while it was in motion, pursuing the retreating enemy. The reason of his removal, as announced by Halleck, was that "he was too slow," and that he should have fol lowed up his victory at Antietam and utterly routed the enemy. Gen. Burnside took command of our victorious legions, but did not move, fast or slow, for some three mouths after, and when he did it was to lead ten thousand of his men to un timely graves. A few months more elapsed when Hooker, at the' same place—Fred ericksburg—under the most disgraceful circumstances on his part, met with a similar disaster. These two bloody mas sacres were excused by those who insisted upon McClellan's removal, and some au• thorities, indeed, like the Gazette, did not consider them defeats at all, bat positive blessings, in which "the hand of God was plainly visible." But, notwithstanding • that th-,se two Generals were "Providen• tial commanders," the Administration found it necessary to remove them. Gen. Meade followed in command, and fought and won the bloody field of Gettysburg. This battle, our readers will remember, was announced as having ended the war, so far as the rebel army of Lee was con sidered. His forces, we were told, were crushed, scattered and demoralized, while one hundred and twenty pieces of his ar• tillery remained in our possession. Not withstanding all this, Gen. Meade did not capture nor pursue the retreating fugitives and the consequence was, that they got safely back into Virginia, taking with them immense piles of plunder, besides thous ands of fine horses. Since then we have not heard of any uneasiness in the War Department, because of the tardiness of Meade in pursuing and capturing Lee. It is now a year since the demolitio n of McClellan, because he was too slow, and now, after the experience we have been noticing, we have it announced from the capital that Lee's rebel army is in fine condition and is preparing for another raid across the Potomac. While this raid is in course of preparation the Adminis tion, with Gen. Dix, have quartered in and around the city of New York forty thousand troops. These troops were Or dered there to enforce the conscription, and will, it is now thought, be kept there until after the State election in Novem ber. Having enforced the draft properly, this immense army may be required to see that the voting in the Empire State be conducted according to instructions from Halleck and the War Department. If, in addition to the forty thousand soldiers in New York, the Administration may think it necessary to send into Pennsylvania an equal number to control our election in October, Lee may seize so fine an oppor tunity for consummating his dash upon Washington. Before sending the soldiers home, however, to put their "heels upon the necks of copperheads," Halleck and Stanton both promised to crush the rebels and we expect them to keep their words. If they do not it will be plain that our armies and conscriptions are not for con• quering the rebellion, but for usurping the liberties of the people, Death of Son. Greene C.

Over fifteen hundred del- ates were present and their proceetlinti indicate a great change of public senti ment among the people. Many old Whigs were present, who urged a union of all Conservative men, to rescue the Government from the hands of fanatics who are conducting the war for the sole purpose of negro emancipation. ' Henry W. Paine, Esq., the nominee for Gover. nor, being called upon, said he stood for the first time before a Democratic Con. vention. Why was he here ? He knew that the Democratic party had always maintained the National Constitution, and had always been devoted to the preserva tion of the Union, and had cherished the rights of the States. It had a record which had pledged it to the perpetuity of the Constitution and Union and the rights of the States. He was with the party. Where else could a disciple of Daniel Webster go? There was no other door open to turn than the Democratic party, through which he could pass without dis honor and disgrace. He spoke earnestly against centralization and the rapidity with which the General Government was absorbing the power of the States, and he urged that every influence should be brought to bear in resistance of this fatal ' tendency. For the Post. HON. WM. D. KELLY, AND GOV.. CURTIN'S HON.mST ..Y . essas. EDITORS POST: Perhaps some of the voters in this vicinity, have not no ticed the fact, that in the recent speeches of Judge Kelly, delivered in Allegheny City and Pittsburgh, that while he abused Judge Woodward as a "Copperhead," did not charge him with being dishonest, nei ther did he tell the people, that his candi date for Governor, Andrew G. Curtin, was honest or loyal. Thinking that the udge had overlooked the matter, in his speech delivered in Allegheny City, your correspondent had the following polite note handed to him, during his remarks at Concert Hall, on Friday evening. The note read as follows : " EloN. Wm. D. KELLY Dear Sir :—ln your speech this evening at Concert Hall, will you please tell the people of Allegheny County, your opinion of the honesty of Governor Curtin, and it he is justly entitled to the votes of Pittsburgh Sept. 4, 18'63," Your correspondent was present during the entire delivery of the speech of the Hon. Judge, but he neither alluded to the honesty, loyalty or patriotism of Andrew G. Curtin, neither did he tell the naturali zed citizens who were present, that Curtin was a know-nothing, but tried hard to make it appear that Judge Woodward was connected with that bro4eu-down party. Such cunning devices resorted to by Judge Kelly, won't deceive the intelligent voters of Pennsylvania, and I agaia ask Judge Kelly to give his opinion of the honest,; of Andrew U. has been in a position to know the acts com mitted by the Governor, and will he not do it, and be known as an honest speaker Perhaps a file of the Gazelle can recall to his memory some of the traits in the char acter of Governor Curtin. UN los. General McClellan's Official Re Ths War Department has set it: organs a-going on the subject of General Mc- Clellan's official report recently trans mitted to Washington by that officer. The general demand that it shall be pub lished, and the knowledge of the admin• istration that its facts and figures and dis patches are' likely to dispose finally of many of the false impressions which they have been endeavoring to fasten upon the public mind, are the causes of the fee ble excuses which are being industriously circulated through all the organs for its retention till the meeting of Congress. We are told "by authority" that it is some six or seven hundred foolscap pages long, and that its publication will require a special appropriation by Congress. Does anybody believe that any pet gen• eral's report would slumber in the arch ives for want of an appropriation? Who does not know that the Harpers or the Appletions or lAippincot would give SlO, 000 for a copy of it for a publication, and send it out to the public in a week. Or, if that is not according to Gunter let the War Department send the World or the Tribune, or-the Times, or the Herald, a copy. Either :journal would pay roundly for its exclusive use, and would print it as a matter of public interest. It Gener al Mc Clellan has compressed into six or seven hundred pages a full history of all his campaigns, the penisular attack and the Maryland fights, the defense of Washington, and organization of the Army of the Potomac from the time he was call ed from Western Virginia until he was re moved at Rectortown, then his report is an unequalled marvel of condensation. But the Tribune is doubtless well inform• of its contents and the state of mind of Secretary Stanton when it says "Its ap pearance in print, at present, is not to be thought of." Why they are "Greenbacks." Most people have little idea why the notes of our national currency, generally known as "greenbacks," are printed in green colors. The reason, as given by an exchange, is this : Ever since the adoption of paper cur• reney it has been the constant study of banknote engravers to get up some plan of printing bills that could not be coun terfeited. In this they only partially suc ceeded, till, as late as 1857, a man named Stracy J. Edson invented a kind of green ink, which he patented June 30th of that year. It is called anti - photographic ink, because it cannot be photographed on ac• count of its color, and cannot he dislodg ed by alkalies by the counterfeiters, to get a complete fac simile of the bills. And as it is a secret only known by the Amer ican Bank Note Company and the inven tor, it is impossible to counterfeit the greenback money. It was used by many banks before the war, but was never a leading feature in the bill ; but even if the composition of the ink was knoWn, it would be of no use, as the work could not be copied from the genuine bills as with any kind of ink. The date of the patent can be seen in all the bills, in small print. Going Upon the Stage An adopted daughter of Count Ester hazy, the, Countpas -Batthyany, is going ripen_ the stage, in ?ans. The papers re. spud Nara ttf, her rank and also beauty. We took a ride up Oil Creek;-'on Satur day last, as far as the Sherman Well. Al` along the route the great,* aetivity,pre veiled. Every one who has an engine is now engaged in sinking wells. On the Clapp Farm we found the M' Kinley Bros. fitting up an abandoned well, 'with their usual industry, and are happy to learn that their efforts were successful, having ob tained a2O barrel well. Many others were also operating upon the same. farm. On the .4. m' Clintock place, our fellow krllB. man, Charles Haines, Esq., is putting down two new wells, making four that he has on that farm now. He will strike oil, for a surety, for he seems to have been born under a lucky star. The villages of M'- Clintockville, Rouseville and Tarrville are rapidly improving, both in style of build ings and amount of business. We saw the same busy scenes all along the creek The heavy thud of the drill, and the puff of the 'scape pipe could be heard in every direc tion. We found the Hyde & Egbert Well flowing 1,000 barrels per day. We look upon it as one of the bast wells in the Re gibn. The Sherman is now in its nine teenth month, and is flowing 350 barrels per day. The Farrell is flowing from 1,000 to 1,200 barrels per day; but the oil is mixed with water, and looks considerably "riled."' The stock along the Creek is exceedingly light. A large quantity is be ing daily shipped to Titusville from these u pper wells. The ruling rate along the Creek was SG per barrel. Wash. M'Clintock is building a bridge at his term. We noticed that the well close by the ford on the Story Farm, in which S. L. Patrick has an inter est, is pumping about forty barrels per day. We had a pleasant ride, and saw many of our friends, No new features of moment have we to record at present.—Oil City Reyistcr. By Whom the Eggs were laid. It is a favorite term of reproach by the abolition newspapers against Charleston t hat it was the "nest of the rebellion."— If it be true that it was the nest where the eggs of rebellion were hatched, it is not true that it was the nest where the eggs of rebellion wer3 laid. That nest was situated considerably to the northeast of Charleston, in the region popularly known as New England, and the eggs of rebellion were laid in it as long ago as 1812, by men assembled at Hartford, Conn., whose con clave is historical by the name of "Hart ford Convention." A great many other eggs have since been laid in it by a great many men and a great many t public meet ings, both in and out of New England.— Here is one laid by Lloyd Garrison : "No act of ours do we regard with more conscientious approval or higher satisfac Lion, none do we submit more confidently to the tribunal of Heaven and the moral verdict of mankind, than when, several years ago, on the 4th of July, in the pres ence of a great assembly, we committed to the names the ponstitution of the Uni ted States." HON EST MEN.' Here is one , laid by Abraham Lincoln the same who is now President of the Uni tecl States "Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing govern• meat, and corm a new one that suits them better. Nor is this right confined to ca ses where the people of an existing gov ernment may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can may rev olutionize and ptit down a minority in termingled with or near about them, who may oppose them.'' Here is another laid by Lincoln : "I believe this government cannot et dure permanently half slave and ha free." Here is one laid by the present Assist. ant Secretary of the Treasury—Fran cis R. Spinner—dying the Fremont cam• paign : Should this ( the election of Fremont) fail, no true man would be any longersafe her. from the assaults of the arrogant slave oligarchy, who then would rule with an iron hand. For the free North would be left the choice of a peaceful dissolution of the Union, a civil war which would end in the same, or an uncondition• al surrender of every principle held dear by freemen... Here is one laid by James S. Pike, long editorially condected with the New York Tribune and now MinteCer to the 'Nether- I have no doubt that the free Etna slave States ought to .separate. Tits UNION Is NOT WORTH SC rI'ORTI NO in connection with tho South." Here is one laid by Wendell Phillips shortly after the organization of the Re , publicans. He was speaking of that partyi: "No man has a right to be surprised at this state of things. It is just what we (abolitionists and disunionists) have at• tempted to bring about. It is the first sectional party ever organized in this coven• trg. It does not know its own face, and calls itself national ; but it is not national —it is sectional. The republican party is a party of the North pledged against the South." Here is onelaid by Wm. Lloyd Garrison at about the same time : "The republican party is moulding pub• lie sentiment in the right direction for the speclfie work the Abolitionists are striving to accomplish, viz: THE DISSOLUTION OF THE. UNION, :AND THE ABOLITION OF SLAVEHT throughavt the land." Here is one laid in 1859 by the N. Y. Tribune: 'Tear down the flaunting lie! Bair mast tho starry flag! Insult no sunny shy With hates polluted rag ! Deettruy it t/e tote can I Deep sink it in the waves It hears a fellow man, To groan with follow slaves." Here is another laid by the same paper n Dee,, 18G0: "Whenever a portion of this Union. large enough to form an independent, self subsisting nation, shall see fit to say au thentically, to the residue, 'we want to get away from you,' we shall say—and we trust self respect, if not regard for the principle ofself-government will constrain the residue of the American people to say—Go ! Here is one laid by the Chicago Tribune nDec. 1360: I "Not a few of the republican journals of the interior are working themselves up to the belief that they are endeavoring to impress upon their readers that the seced• ed States, be they few or many, will be whipped back into the Union. We can• tion all such that in language of that sort they are adding new fuel to the flame which is already blazing too fiercely ; and that the probabilities now are that there suit will prove them to the false prophets. No man knows what public policy may demand of the incoming administration; but the drift of opinion seems to be that, it peaceable secession is possible, the re tiring States will be assisted to go, that this needless and bitter controversy may be brought to an end. If the Union is to be dissolved, a bloodless separation is by all means to be coveted. Do not let us make that impossible." These are ssmply spicimens of eggs.— Thousands more like them are laid in the same nest and by the same sort of peo ple. It was these eggs which Charleston hatched: When she did so, she did a gi gantic crime, but it was liliputian by the side of the crime of the men and party who laid the eggs. Up tho Creek THE AIIRRICAN FLAG Tho Massachusetts Democratic State Convenfioil. Nominations - toe „State 011icers WORCESTift, Mafia., Sept. 8i The Demlyratic State Convention" was large, enthusiastic and harmonious. FLf• teen hundred delegates were present. - Richard S. Spofford, of Newbnryport, was chosen Praft_, and made an elab orate and able - speeclion taking the chair. He urged a union 'of all parties for the sake of*the Union against the administra- tion of Abraham Lincoln. While the Committee on Permanent Organization was out, stirring speeches were made by JUdge Abbott, of Boston; Dr. Page, of Springfield, and Dr. George B. Loring, of Salem. The spirit of the Convention was most decidedly expressed againtit the apparent purpose of the ad -ministration in conducting the war for the sole object of negro emancipation, instead of the preservation of the Union and the restoration of the constitution. Henry W. Paine, of Cambridge, a can didate before the Convention for Gover nor, being called for, came forward and said he stood for the first time before a Democratic Convention. Why was he here? He knew that the democratic par ty had always maintained the national constitution, and had always been devo ted to the preservation of the Union, and cherished the rights of the States, It had a record which had pledged it to the- per petuity of the constitution and the Union and the rights of the States. He was with the party. Where else could a disciple of Daniel Webster go? There was no other door open to him than the democratic party through which he could pass with out dishonor and disgrace, He spoke earnestly against centralization and the ra pidity with which the general government ' was absorbing the powers of the States, and he urged that every influence should be brought to bear in resistance to this fatal tendency. Henry W. Paine was unanimously nom inated for Governor, and Thomas W, Plunkett, of Pittsfield, for Lieutenant Governor. The resolutions that were passed de clare strongly for State rights, oppose the prosecution of the war for purposes of subjugation or emancipation, and the ex tension of martial law over States not in rebellion. They declare that the war was the result of secession at the South and abolition at the North ; and the demo cratic party would put down the one by the sword and the other by the ballot-box. They pronounced the Conscription act un• wise and needless, harsh, oppressive and unequal in its operation, and warmly ap plaud Horatio Seymour for the stand he has taken. The announcement of hie name was received with applause. The following persons were elected as delegates to the National Convention : Josiah (1. Abbott, of Boston; Oliver Ste vens, substitute : Erasmus Beach, of Springfields I). N. Carpenter, substitute: Isaac l }avis, of Worcester ; Cieorge W. Bencbl;.y, Substiaite James D. Thomp eon, of Charles Heebner, substitute. IR W 8 FROM WASHINGTON The Rise in the rrioe of Gold W.tssmiTON, Sept, Much auprise has Leen caused hero by the sudden advance of the price of gold at.

GU M& IJCCESS &c„ New Tons, September O.—Specials this morning are extremely barren. The Se cretary of the Treasury has for some time been engaged in the preparation of new negotiations for trade with therebel States suited to the altered condition of affairs occasioned by the opening of the Missis sippi river. They will be complete in a few days, but may have to be submitted to the approtal of the generals commanding departments in the South, before they will be ready for publication. - The largest number of applications for lands under the homestead law are in Wis consin, Michigan, Kansas and Washington Territory. The revenue from the public domain is scarcely more than nominal. No additional lands will be immediately advertised for sale. A Morris Island letter of the first to the Herald says, that for two or three days past, a new rebel battery on Sullivan's Island has been making fruitless efforts to annoy our men in the advance trenches. The calibre of the gun employed is not certainly known, but is supposed to be one of the II inch guns from the Keokuk. The firing of the gun is very good, except in one rather important particular. Its range being short, only at long intervals a shot from it reaches this Island. Those thrown in thus far have been solid shots, and have done no damage other than to the sand hills which have been hit. The great majority fall into the water outside of the beach, and expend their force upon the curling surf. Four monitors—the Passaic, Patapsco, Nahant and Montauk—came in yesterday afternoon and engaged Fort Moultrie and the batteries on Sullivan's Island, firing an occasional shot at Forts Sumter and Wagner. The engagement opened about half-past 3 o'clock, and about two hours' fire was maintained with great intensity, particularly on the rebel side. The firing from Fort Moultrie and Battery Bee, was terrific. Their heavy guns rattled off like a snare-drum in tattoo,' and the water about the monitors-was jetting up in all directions. Many shots struck the moni tors, but did little damage. The heavy rifts and 1G inch shells of the iron-clads burst with effect over and in Fort Moul tne, and sent the earth whirling in all di rectionii. Pea Wagner was repeatedly stinek by cx floding shells, and somewhat damaged. Shp fired few shots at the mon itors during the engagement. Our heavy gnus from first to last of the engagement made some excellent shots. The moni• tors' shells went wildly on all sides, and hud no etFect in silencing her guns. Fen Sumter was struck several times by rifle shells from the Passaic and Patapsco, but besides detaching masses of loose mason ry did no further damage to the fort. No guns were dismounted, if any existed. After two or three hours' fighting, the monitors withdrew. The object of the attack has not been developed Some days since the enemy made a sys tematic effort !o blow up and destroy the gunboats and transports in Stone Inlet by means of torpedoes. Fortunately no se rious damage was inflicted on any of the vessels by these infernal machines, but the escape was quite narrow enough for eom• fort. One torpedo exploded a little astern of the Pawnee, and blew her launch, which was towing astern, to fragments. A few moments later, a tremendous ex. plosion °cowed qn the Bird Eing, a few rods below the Pawnee, occasioned by another torpedo, sent down at some time, From facts since develoded, it is certain that the rebels sent down on that night at east ten of those inventions—three or four eaploded, and seven were picked np. One drifted through the fleet of transports, up to Folly Island, and exploded tinder the bows of the mortar schooner C. P. Williams, but occasioned no damage. They arc precisely like those we have found in Light House Creek, and they go off at the slightest concussion; The Trlbane's Morrie Island letter states that Fort I\ gner will be held until the last moment, and nothing, it is said, but want of water will compel her to eurren ler. The dead lie about the shallow wa ter, and the water has got into their wells. The men are so imprudent as to swallow it, and the next day are in the hospitals, and before the close °l i the week many of them are in their graves. Brave attempts have been made to supply the garrison from Charleston, but thus far only a small quantity has been furnished. Only at mid night or under cover of some dense fog in the morning have any vessels been known to have reached them for the past eight days. If the Monitors would only cut off com munication for one %colt longer the fort will be in our possession, and with Fort Wagner, Fort Gregg and the whole of Morris Island once ours, the stars and stripes in a few hours will wave over Sum ter. We are now within one hundred yards of Wagner. By tomorrow oar heaviest Parrots will be able to deliver fire at a distance of two hundred yards into every embrazare commanding the beach, and an enfilading one upon every gun looking seaward. FORT GIBSON, INDIAN TERRITOLer, Aug 20 via LEAVEN - WORTH, Sept. s.—General Blunt with his army, forty-five hundred strongjucluding twenty pieces of artillery crossed the Arkansas river on the 22d, and offered battle to Steele and Cooper, who had massed on his front eleven thousand men. After a faint show of resistance the enemy commenced retreating, which soon turned into a disorderly flight. They abandoned all their property. Gen, Blunt pursued them one hundred miles south of Arkansas to Perryville, which is only fifty miles from Red River. ,At this point he captured and destroyed their commissary depot.
