DEATH OP FBANK JOHNSTON,
ESQ
Our paper to-day contains the obituary
of a very extraordinary genius, Frank
Johnßton, Esq., who died suddenly last
evening at his residence “the Meadows”
a few miles from this city.
For the past few years Mr. Johnßton
might have been termed a recluse; in his
charming home npon the Allegheny he
constantly remained, .devoting himself al
most exclusively to the classics, in which
he was not only very enthusiastic but profi
cient. We doubt very much, indeed wheth
er he was surpassed in his knowledge of
the Greek by any of the accomplished pro
fessors in the country. Like Cardinal
W olsey,
“He wai a scholar, and a ripe and good ono ’
and in the lighter branches he was equal
ly accomplished. With the English clas
sics, from Shakspeare to Charles Lamb,
he was singularly familiar; nor did his
knowledge of these authors consist in a
recollection of their mere words. He em
bodied their meaning, and in his recitals
of the finest passages of either pathos or
humor, he exhibited a remarkable refine
ment and subtlety of conception. In all
that is necessary to constitute a scholar
and gentleman, Frank Johnston was hap
pily blessed. He was wonderful'y attract
ive bba companion ; having a lively im
agination, inexhaustible wit and humor,
besides a flow ot language as smooth and
unfailing as the music of “a sleeper’s
dream,” he was of course, the centre of
attraction. Like all sensitive men hs had
is hours of melancholy, but he awoke
from them to be more brilliant than be
fore.
Frank Johnston is nearly the last of a
few young men, who, ten or twelve years
ago,were the very “expectancy and rose’ ’
of Pittsburgh society; they are nearly all
gone to where we trust they are now ren •
nited in realms of everlasting j oy.
TO THOS. J. BIGHAM, ESQ.
I, with others, have heard your late
speeches, and most respectably ask of you
an answer, either in your next speech or
bv card. Do you, or do you not, believe
the articles said to have been written by
the Hon. Thomas Williams, from July
80th to August sth, 1863, in the Pittsburgh
Gazette,, charging Gov, A. Gregg Curtin
with dishonesty ? Are they trne ; if not
wherein they are false.
AN OLD LINE WHIG.
A Beverend Consoript.
: The Rev. J. E. Cookman, pastotpfthe
Methodist Episcopal Church at Harburg,
N. y., who was lately conscripted, has de
termined to pack his knapsack and take
the field. Mr. Cookman is a son of -the
late well-known Rev. Geo. Cookman, who
was chaplain to Congress, and who waea
passenger on the-ilinfated ate'ameifvPijesi
dent,- '
LINCOLN vs. LINCOLN. ;
The Abolition press tlzrougkqjt the
country are determined to make the most
of Mr. Lincoln’s late letter to Springfield,
Illinois; but there is snch a performance
as running a thing into the ground. The
oemmendation of the document, in ques
tion, is generally so fulsome and extrava.
gant as to amount to burlesque. For in
stance read the following touch from yes
terday’s Commercial, and Bee whether it
18 not the crueleat irony; it says :
“President Lincoln’s letter g-.es into every
household like a welcome guest. Tee hardest
prejudices give way before its sincerity, and the
most bizoted par,man dare not aeny itj truth.
It is a great adrantago when a enusonntrinsically
g-od can point to a representative and exponent
intrinsically disinterested and pure.*’
President Line jin, in his inangural
address, after taking an oath to support
the constitution of his country, in a sol
emn appeal to Him, to whom he must an
swer tor every thought, word and action
of his life, declared as follows. 1, 1 have
no purpose, directly or indirectly, to in
terfere with the institution of slavery in
i the States where it exists. I believe
I hi
Ave no lawful right to do so, and I have
no inclination to do so.” In the lace of
this triamphant self-condemnation of
President Lincoln’s recent performances,
the Pittsburgh Commercial is so reckless
as to assert that no one dare deny the
truth of the President’s late letter to
Springfield, in which the following para
graph occurs:
•' You dislike the Emancipation Proclamation, 1
and perhaps you want to have it retracted, lon J
say it is unconstitutional. I think differently. I |
think that the Constitution invests its commit
der-in-chtot with the laws of war in time of war. ;
The most that can be Baid. if so much, is that
slaves are property.”
If the Abolition leaders were not utter
ly reckless they would be ashamed to al
lude to these monstrous acts of the Presi
| dent. After declaring that he had no
power nor intention to interfere with sla
very in the States, he ißßued a proclama
tion setting the Blaves free, and recently
he wrote a letter, to Springfield, in which
he positively asserts his power to abolish
slavery everywhere. To call such a man
as Mr. Lincoln to preside over the desti
nies of a country like this, and at Buch a
time, was lamentable enough, but to see
hiß partisans endeavoring to make virtues
out of palpable and glaring infirmities,
argnes a depth of partisan degeneracy not
calculated to inspire us with hope foi our
political future. The great difficulty with |
the President is that he seems to have no
fixed purpose; hence the close and careful
watch the Abolitionists keep upon hun.—
But a man bo “infirm of purpose,’’ who
permits himself to be tossed from one ex
treme of opinion to another, is, in every
aspect, unfit to preside as Chief Magis
trate over a country like oars; a country
whose extent of territory and whose varied
resources and marvelous grandeur were
the admiration and the envy of the world.
And yet in the vascilating 6nd culpable
conduct of the President, our city contem
porary sees nothing but what is ''intrinsi
cally’! commendable.

postpones all possible hope of a reunion

stripped of its surplus drapery, i 3 simply
apresidentiai announcement to the coun
try, that oar victories have failed to break
the spirit of the rebellion; that there is no
prospect of peace; that hostilities hereafter
must be conducted to enforce emancipa
tion; and in order to effect it the war, if
necessary, should be interminable. Thiß,
in brief, iB the document, which, in the
opinion of the Commercial, “goes into

more like aproclamotion announcing our

WILL BEAUBEGABD SUBBEN
He has threatened that, although “the
infomouß Yankees” may occupy the
ground where Charleston was, they shall
never occupy Charleston. He will play
them the game of Mobcow before they are
permitted with their polluted feet to walk
those sacred streets, consecrated to the
benignant Southern despotism of Daria.
Such Carthagenian threateninga from
Beauregard were all well enough so long
aB he possessed “the throat ot the har
bor.” and felt secure that “the Yankeea
were held at bay beyond any possible
range of the latest Yankee invention.
But the half dozen incendiary Bhells
thrown by the “Swamp Angel," over a
distance of five miles, into the heart of
the city, put an end to Tontants braggado
cia. Such inhumanity and Vandalism as
this, of throwing three hundred pound
shells over a line of five miles, of
forts, into a city these forts were
intended to defend, made the little
man exceedingly ferocious and ter
rible in his threats of retaliation. Bat
still the question mast recur to him ; of
what use are these fortifications to me
and what are we to gain by any further
resistance, when this Vandal Gillmore,
from his present position, can destroy the
city?— Herald.
This distinguished officer has led so
quiet and an obtrusive a life since his exile
from command that we have not for some
time seen his name in the newspapers, ex
cept indeed in the masterly numbers of
Mr. H. Ketchum, now in course of publi
cation in the New York Journal of Com
merce, in vindication of the Generals mil
itary character against the aspersions ol
the Congressional Committee. The in
formation, therefore, conveyed in the an
nexed extract from the letter of a private
gentleman who lately fell in company with
the General in the country, will possetß
interest for all our readers :
’*l saw to-day, for the first time, and had a long
talk with den. McClellan, wno lives near the
friend with whom I am stopping. I was very
favorably impressed by the trank and dignified
bearing of the man. Ho epoko to me freety of
various persons, but always with respect, ana, as
I conoeive, with justice. He has been put on
retired pay, a luificient proot that the Adminis
tration do not mean to employ him again,"
General Pleasanton has completed his
official report of the operations of thei

Mr. Chairman : Three years have pass
ed away since you and others, whom I see
before me to-night, assembled in this hall
for the purpose of trying to avert the war
which now afflicts the land. We saw the
storm, and we then invokod that party
which had ju3t achieved a triumph iD the
nation, to unite with us in an endeavor to
prevent the calamity. Our fears were de
rided, oar prayers ware mocked, and we
were told that we were not true to the
Union. How sad has been the interven-
ing period! How many of the young
men of the country have been carried to
bloody graves ! How much mourning is
spread over the land ! What agony and
distress! We met again when the war
had beer, brought to another of its stages,
and once more wa appealed to onr Repub'
ican friends'to join us in an effort to save
t he country. (Applause.) Then, too,
our appeals were in vain. But I will noi
dwell on the darker side of th e picture.
Sad as has been onr history, some good
has resulted from it; for we have learned
to value our rights and to appreciate the
inestimable worth of our institutions ; and
those who stigmatized ub as Union-savers
are now glad to talk of maintaining the
Union and the supremacy of the Oonstitu
tion. For this lam grateful, although our
petitions might have been received more
graciously. At Syracuse a tew days ago,
they resolved to uphold the Union. Tnis
I accept as a good omen, although coup
led with words harsh end unjußt towards
myself. Most heartily do I welcome thU
Erotnise on their part ; I am not without
ope as to the future. The war has taught
all men the high duty of maintaining the
Constitution ; tor that, and that only, will
result in establishing the Union upon a
firmer basis, and the rights of the States
i upon a settled foundation. I know that
: the acta of the last Congress, originating
I in error, and baneful in their influences,
1 as many of them have been, alarmed the
land. They sought the centralization of
power. But I have never, doubted the
result; but those very measures are to
overthrow their theories of government.
It will be found that the measures adopted
to enlarge aud centralize the powers of the
general government cannot, in the end,
restrain the rights of the States. The States
are the natural sources of the powers of
the general government; and, although
put down, they will rise again. Our fath
ers saw that it the government attempted
the exercise of powers other and greater
than those Becured. to it nnder the Consti-
Lntion, it would imperil and destroy itself.
Let as see if they were right. A few
months ago the government adopted meas
ures relative to the currency, to indemnity
ana confiscation, and also to the Conscrip
tion act, if 1 may be allowed so to
term it. { Applause.) I have had no
views, no secrets, flo correspondence,
which 1 have not submitted most
cheerfully to public scrutiny. 1 there
ezf reseed the opinion that when the
Confiscation act should be put into op
eration —that act which threatens the in
tegrity of the States and trenches upon
the personal rights, opposed as it is to the
genius of a free government —1 then said
that when they entered upon its enforce
mentthey would be battled, because it was
inconsistent with the nature of our gov
ment. year ago the people had vol
untarily given one million of men and had
poured forth their treasure io unexampled
profusion tor the prosecution of the war.
Every school district, every township, con
tributed meu and means without Btint.—
Why 7 Because called upon by the gov
erumeut 'f Rather because prompted by
the will of the people. Our government
were armed with a military power unequal
ed by any other nation : but forgetting
that its strength depends upon the popu
lar will, they pursued a course inconsist
ent with the nature cf our institutions. —
We made the issue wilh them at that very
time when they had at their command the
largest military force on the globe, and we
beat them. In those acta which they sup
p sed were calculated to strengthen them,
and peraapa weaken localities, they failed.
One year ago our State gave 120,000 meu
lo the war, and New York city contribu
ted most liberally in men and money at
that time. How is it now 7 Do men go
as cheerfully now as then 7 No. That
government around which one million of
men so cheerfully rallied now finds it nee
essary to use its utmost power to drag a
few thousand into the field. Is this
strength or weakness ? success or failure?
The State of New York, siuco the first of
last January, haa raised upwards of twelve
thousand volunteers, which is more than
twice the number tnat will ever be carried
out of the State by the conscription. I
don’t say how many may go as substitutes
for that is equivalent to volunteering ; bnt
1 venture to predict that they will never
get six thousand to go, because they hare
been drafted under the provisions of that
law. lam full of hope for the future, be
cause I believe that a government that
passes beyond the legitimate bounds of its
power, so far from endangering permanent
ly the rights of the States, simply endan
gers the rights and strength of itself, and
this lesson, once learned by all men, will
result in a return to jast principles. The
glory and strength of a people must be the
hearts of a people. lam convinced that
the Union will bo preserved, and the rights
of all the states maintained, because our
opponents will be driven back from their
assumptions by sheer necessity and sad
experience. I believe that in less than
one year their own experience will have
taught them that their theory, that the
government mast be upheld by the exer
cise of doubtful powers, must be abandon
ed. There is but one way to maintain a
government, and that is by upholding the
laws and rights of every stale and every
citizen. Many harsh words and unjust
charges have been indulged in by our op
ponents toward mjßelf; and perhaps I owe
it to you to say that I have never sought
to embarrass the government, Traduced
as 1 have been, I have seen in its many
mistakes reason to uphold it, and have
sought to direct it in that course which*
its own honor, as well ae the honor of the
country clearly dictates. -I have appealed
with no selfish or partisan object in view
to its friends and agents, whenever an op
portunity was presented, to avoid the er
rors into which it has fallen. Was it un
friendly to warn it of those unfair provis
ions in the constription, which were so
plainly calculated to render it objectionable
and odious to the people? Who had the
most interest in the matter? Whose in
terest was it that the law should be en
forced in tse fairest and most unobjec
tionable manner? Should anything have
i been more grateful to them than to try to
! render the enforcement of this law, objec
tionable as it is at best,* as little obnoxious
! as possible? When in July last I discov
ered some inequalities of the edrollment,
I deemed it my duty to the people and the
i government to call its attention to them,
with a view to their correction, they sure
ly were most interested in having it fairly
carried out. Is he not their truest friend
who, when the attempt is made to
enforce such a law, seeks to render it
least objectoionable to popular support ?
To this end I sent agents to Washington
to represent its unequalities and unfair
ness. At a later day I sent a communica
tion to the President appealing to him to,
save our country from the infliction of
these wroaga. This appeal was made as
well for the sake of the government as
of the people, and yet this is stigma
tized, and the publication of those 4 letters
was alluded to as calculated to arouse pub-,
lie resistance* TPfry then did they pub
lish the letters ? I nave published
any of them. I not only wrote to fcjsB if-
feci lo the President but to tbe coalman* i
derot' the northeast district* Tuere are {
are two other letters whictfiave not been i
published. .. (Laughter.) But of this Ido £
not complain although they wete ileithef
official, nor private, nor confidential. I
addressed a letter to Mr. liincolh ik which
I informed him that I had 'discovered
gross frauds in the operation of the law ;
that although politically opposed
to his administration, 1 was in this
gaided only by a regard for our country,
and that I wished to aid in Baving the couu' 1
try. I asked that these frauds be invest!* !
gated. That was not an official letter. —
It commenced in a friendly tone, “Dear
Sir,” not “Sir,’’ for all of my friends are
notin New York. (Laughter and cheers.)
I addressed also a friendly letter to the
commander of the Northwest District sug
gesting that the enrollment was most une
qual and unjust, if not fraudulent I ex
pressed the hope that this injustice would
not be allowed, because it was calculated
to bring gross discredit upon ub in the eyes
of the world. I felt the embarrassment
of his position, and therefore I wished to
save him from being impelled from milita
ry reasons on the one hand, and repelled
by his repugnance to fraud on the other.
Unfortunately, I only disturbed his taste
as to a word, and not his sense of fraud
and wrong. In all this I have been guided
simply and solely by a desire to save the
government from this great and fatal er*
ror. Should we for this be stigmatized as
unfriendly to the Union? Who will say
that it is not right and just that the names
of all the enrolled should be published? —
s there a man opposed to having those
rolls fairly and publicly deposited in the
wheel, so that all way see and know that
the conscription is being fairly conducted?
And yet when this is ashed for, those ma
king the request are stigmatized as inci
ting the community to outrage and wrong.
Oar purpose is not to violate the laws; our
purpose is to vindicate the laws. (Cheers.)
So much for the past and the preseut. —
What then of the future? Whatever our
wrongs may have been at the hands of our
opponents, 1 believe 1 speak for those
who think and act with me, when I say:
Let the past be forgotten. Let this viola
tion of law and of the rights of the States
and of individuals be buried, if you will
only hear our prayerd to avoid the dangers
that threaten ub in the future. Our ar
mies have been successful. Heretofore
there have beeu reasons why we could not
seek peace. All men have felt that if the
war had ended when we had failed in some
of our military undertakings, it might
lead to serious complications in the futore.
Therefore we have waited. But now our
successes cnQble ua to seek it with honor
to ourselves and satisfaction to the peo
ple. Our policy would be generous and
magnanimous. Au honorable, high-mind
ed man avails himself of success to make;
a generous disposition of the controversy
in which he is involved. This should be
our course now. The war has reached
another stage in its progress, aud a policy
different from that which ha 3 been pur
sued, must be marked out. Shall it be a
policy of subjagation, a policy that will
atrip the Slates of their rights. (Criea of
“No, no." ) Such a policy implies a long
and bloody war, and an incalculable
waste of life and treasure. It is a poluy
which, if continued, must resell in nation
al bankruptcy and ruin. This would be
its inevitable result.
I appeal to your republican friends that,
laying aside party passions prejudices, we
auperadd to power the force of concilia
tion. la there not more hope for an
early and lasting peace and a long career
of happiness for the country in a concili
atory line of policy. How can any man
object to a policy that will unite tn- peo
ple North and South and call out from
every section an ardent love of the Union
and the Constitution—a love which I
firmly believe only slumbers in the revolt
ed States, and is not dead. Shall the
party in power say : “Uar brothers have
not crouched down to ns. They are not
vet subjugated. U c hu.e r.;-t yet gnV. ii
ed our malice and uute. ' Is that as g»-n
erous, as magnanimou aa saying: “lie
turn to the I’uion ; yo .r r.gbta shall
preserved sacred and inviolate '■ Men
must choose between the<o two lines of
policy. W e may have ditiered m the past,
But now our armies have triumphed, our
soldiers have proved IV-ir bravery and
liieir patriotism. I am wliliug to leave
ihe emancipation proclamation jaat where
hehasleftit, to stand valid il the courts
pronounce it valid, and to fall if invalid,
and it must fail if invalid. I believe that
the great conservative party of the coun
try will say, ‘Return to your nlh-gmnre
and we will maintaiu your rights."
whatever, therefore, may be the course of
the adrainialmtisn, it be come 8 the con6cr
vatives to Bay to the Smith, “Let the war
cease —como back to your allegiance—and
we will protect your rights '* Never bnv»-
1 embarrassed the administration and 1
never will. I have at ail times sought to
uphold the army and have neglected no
opportunity Ln send succor to our men. I
have toiled without ceasing to do my duty
,to the soldiers from New York. 1 have
issued upwards of five thousand commis
sions; and 1 don't know that the adminis
tration with all the unkind things its
friends have said of mo, has had occasion
to say that my course has been partisan
in regard to th<*m. I repeat that lam full
of hope forthe future. I nave ne*or doubt
ed that the Uuion will be restored. I have
never feared that the rights of the states
will be destroyed. I have never for a mo
ment believed that the invasion of the rights
of the states by the government could be of
a permanent character. The principles
of conciliation and wisdom which guided
our fathers will outlive the folly of their
successors. Conciliation is magnanimous,
Generosity, in its nature, is larger than .
hate. A generous course now will com
meud us to the world, (Applause.) To
the dissolution of the Union 1 will never
consent, (Cheers.) I would put forth
every power; I wouldexhauat every meas
ure of conciliation: I would appeal to the
interests, the hopes and fears of the citizens
of the South, and urge every suggestion
which it becomes a man to make to bring
back the revolted stairs, but as to dis
union I will never consent to that. (Ap
plause.) Let ns pat forth every power to
restore the Union, invoking every consid
eration of patriotism, doing all that is .due
to oor country and to ourselves, invoking
the return ot every state; holding sacred
every star apon those flags that surround
us (pointing to the flags which decorated
the hall), and marking him who would
strike one from its blue field as much a
traitor aa be who would teQd its folds
asunder.

.Fatal Affray in Delaware
Jesse MeOrone, residing in New Castle
Hundred, was killed by his brother in law,
Thomas Smith, on Sunday bust. McCrone
had been drinking and was attacked with
the mania portu in this situation he at
tacked Smith, who kpocjf ed him down in
the yard. They live in adjoining houses.
MeOrone said if Smith wonld help him in
the house he would surrender. After
they got in McCrone drew a knife ; Smith
ran out the back door, got a club, and as
McCrone came on, knocked him down.—
The blowß were repeated, it appears, sev
eral times, as there were poolß of blood
in several places about the barn-yard; and
McCrone’s head was badly cut, skull
fractured and arm broken. It is said Smith
struck him while down, as he was afraid
to let him up, having called in vain for as
sistauce. McCrone died of the blows the
same day. He was a bachelor, about 60
years old, and has very highly respected
relatives.— Del. Gaz.
