I was fre quenily in Washington afterward, but was never called.

Sinte John Bigelow, who is a scholar, a gentleman, and a statesman, left the Everting Post, it has been a nest into which all sorts of unclean birds are ac customed t 3 drop their eggs. Living out ' the reputation it had acquired under bet ter auspices, its pronunciamentoes were accepted submissively. Its dictum was the law of his party. If .T. A. 8„ or D. D.

Just now the so-called Government detectives sew to have falle4nto deci ded disrepute: Not only in Cincinnati but in other places, the "leaky" proceed ings indulged in by some of these officials, and by individuals purporting to be such, has served to place the farternity in rather an obnoxious light. Instances might, indeed, be multiplied, where members of the profesaion 'have been detected praclaierfrie most nefar tons games upon - tre unsuspecting per sons who wefe so unfortunate as to be selected as their victims. Little more than a foretnight has elasped,since Mes & White - were discovered driving a lucrative little business on their own hook, and were arraigned for an aggravated case levying black mail. Scarcely have they received a hearing, and the countenances of the two immac ulate `'stars" disappeared from the pre cincts of the Police Court, ere another, an aged veteran, makes his appearance in the arena. He likewise, was surpris ed at the opening of what apparently intended to be a vigorous campaign. Webb, however, had commenced operations in a different field—one per haps more dangerous and difficult—insti gated, undoubtedly by the same spirit that leads the experienced soldier to pre fer rather the arduous and perilous du ties of active service to the comparative security of the fortification. But Webb fell a victim to his ill-timed bravery, and we exceedingly doubt whether the pres tige of office will overcome and counter balance the revelations of that unlucky carpet bag with its counterfeit postal currency and its package of altered bills. In Washington, we see by a late dis patch, this detective nuisance has there been placed under becoming restraint by the order of General Augur, that: Hereafter no citizen, commissioned offi cer, or enlisted man shall be arrested on report of a detective, excepting in ex treme cases where there is no doubt of guilt and immediate action is needed. Also; that all officers employing detect ives will be held responsible for their improper action or abuse of authority. Such an order ought to be made general. We are confident. however, that here the "dodges" of these immaculate offi cials, who have arrogated to themselves the title of "Government" detectives, are decidedly below par, or in other words, about "played out." Hereafter something ,more will be necessary to cover their guilty actions and disarm suspicion beside a star, even though it be double plated and bear engraved the words •`U. S. Detective." Wet Blanket The nomination of Lincoln is every where a wet blanket to the hopes and enthusiasm of the rank and file of the Abolition party. The three yearn' trial of him-makes the people almost shud der at the thought of seeing him at the head: of affairs for another term. In other States, the .failure to respond to the nomination (outside the office-holders' ring) is observed as is marked here. The nomination falls with a damp chill. The Detroit Free Press says: ' "The news of the re-nomination of Lincoln fell like a wet 'blanket on the few seething Abolitionists of Detroit. They acted as though they were heartily ashamed of the work of the Convention, -and we don't wonder they were. We supposed they would fire a rusty gun, raise a flag, or hire a few cheap boys to burn crackers, but not a sound was heard, nor a funeral note.' " The Chicago Times of the 10th says: "-The intelligence of the nomination of Lincoln at Baltimore fell dead upon the pablic sense of this city; the attempt at a astification meeting last evening was a still more mortifying failure. It was in deed, a most signal failure. The meeting was held in the open air, but the people present would not have filled Byron Hail. And the proceedings were as spiritless as the assemblage was rn Rager. " The Nashville Peas, put hall , d at the capital of Tennessee as the organ of the "loyal" voters, declared, before the nomination, its estimate of the candidate for the Vice Presidency as follows: "As between Fremont and Lincoln, The press is unconditionally for the lat ter, upon condition that Andrew Johnson is not plated on the ticket.

PITTSBURGH , THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 30, 1364 THE MILITARY SITUATION." Considering the fact of the Adminis tration having relieved the Dispatch, of this city, of the publication of the letter list, it is astonishing to witness its zeal in defending every act and suggestion of ABB and his party. It looks to us as if our neighbor was desirous of supplant ing the Harrisburg Telegraph in the af fections of Abolitionists, generally ; and in order to accomplish that feat, it, like its cousin resorts to the publication of the basest falsehoods. For instance, in its issueyesterday it began one of its daily and deadly assaults, upon the Pest in this way: Since the Post has fully committed itself to the support of the rebel cause, in the hope of there by securing the defeat of Ms: LINCOLN in No vember, it Is not a matter of surprise, perhaps, that it should prefer rebel veksions of the military :,mason. The "versions" from which we ar gued was the late speech of Senator WII.SON, Chairnt ma of the m ilitary com mittee in the United States Senate, and one whose Abolitionism is just as heavy and mean as that of the Divatch itself. That individual, with the column of figures before him, informed the Senate and the country that since the 17th of last October there has been enlisted into the service 700,000 men. So much for that "version." The President, the other day after vis iting Grant's army came back to Wash ington, and told his p.iiisites that every. thing was going on admirably; ,that GRANT did not want "another man," and that Richmond would be ours in a week at farthest. After this Mr. DANA, a most splendid specimen of a full fledged Abolitionist, and Assistant Sec retary of War, announced that GRANT had not lost over twenty thousand men since first encountering Lag's forces. Here are two other "versions" whose "loyalty" cannot be questioned. Tak ing those statements altogether it struck us as strange that the Admin istration was still clamoring for more men. Seven hundred thou sand since last October, besides Forty-eight thousand reinforcements sent to GRANT, since he began his pres ent cornmign, we, in oar innocent way, t hought ought to preclude the neces sity of another conscription. Not so, however, another draft more sweeping and inexorable than any yet experien ced, we are already threatened with. To comment legitimately upon these open and palpable statements of the highest officials in the Government, is displeas ing to some of our Abolition contempo raries. They do not appear to regret the necessity which calls for more men to be slaughtered; but their indignation and loyalty grow intense when the false hoods and fabrications of the AdVnis tration are exposed to the people. We repeat our former inquiry; if Senator ' Wri-sors's statements be true—and he poke ft . ont the record— if Mr. LINCOLN and Mr. DANA did not both lie, and that too, most shamefully, we desire to know why there is a necessity for the repeal of the three hundred dollar commuta tion, in order that the coming, sweeping draft may prove effective in getting sol diers? We feel some interest in this, and hence our anxiety for the Dispatch , or some other "loyal" paper, that is in favor of furnishing "the last dollar and the last man," to say why is it, that the service requires another conscription, in view of the statement made only a few days ago, by the President, Senator WILSON. and the Assistant Secretary of War? If the Dispatch will favor us with the information we require, it may in terlard andseason it by calling us "sym pathisers with treason," or any other select bits of Abolition twaddle its vo cabulary can supply. Small but Characteristic The Round Table remarks that "There is a story in circulation. and well vouched for by certain parties, that a strong effort was made to prevent the delivery of the oration by General McClellan at West Point last week. Rumor has it that a high military official came on from Washington for the ex press purpose of effecting a postponement of the exercises, or at least the substitution of some orator in place of - General McClellan; but the arrangements were so far perfected as to admit of no change in the programme. The source whence this information comes entitles it to consideration, but we cannot credit its truthfulness. Whatever may be the feelings of the administration toward this General, we are unwilling to believe that it would be so dere lint to a sense of duty to itself and of courtesy to another as to strive to hinder him from ful filling a purely literary appointment, which he accepted only at the persuasion of friends whose claims upon him he could not ignore." The only thing surprising about this paragraph is, the Round Table'B incredu lity, in not believing the War Depart ment capable of such petty meanness and tyranny. Au individual or a public officer who would dismiss from the ser vice a gallant officer like Lieut. EDGER TON of New Hampshire, because of his voting as his conscience prompted, is base enough for dirtier tricks than the one alluded to. A ,mean man dressed with brief authority is capable of any meanness. CHASE'S GOLD BILL The Boston Commercial Bulletin, a sound financial journal remarks as fol lows upon Mr. Camsz and his gold bill : "There probably never was so utterly puerile sand idiotic a law enacted by a Christian body of men outside of bedlam, a law which bore on its face an utter ignorance of the commonest com prehension of common mercantile business—a law so full of nonsensical crudities, and blind contradictions that the first resolve of the mer chants and bankers convened together in New York was to ask Secretary Chase! "What the bill really meant"—they wanted an explanation, Licht, and Jul opinion. Seneca never uttered a greater truism than "There is a new fool born every day," and it was In forgetfulness of that idea that the public were so taken aback by this "Gold Bill." They did not believe that it would pass, and even after its enactment they could not believe that the President would ever think of signing it. Thus it was that the effects burst on the com munity like a fire-brand and ran smack through the channels of commerce, stabbing friends and foeivillke faits mad career. - _ merchants of thin country, like those of Holland, desire nothingmore than is contained In their famousivply tothe Wanish commander, who asked them what he should do for them— " Let us alone." THE POST---PITTSBURGH, Taljts , 30, 1g64. Love for the Union The Abolitionisis prate of love for the Union is all moonshine; their principal organ began, over three years ago, prov ing the right of the South to secede if the people there desired it; and less than six months ago, it spoke again in this way: If three months more of earnetffighting shall nol serveto rook, a serious impression on the rebels—lf the end of that term oh all find us no further ad vanced than its begining—if some malignant fate has decreed tnot the blood and treasure of the nation shad ever be squandered In fruitless efforts, let us how to our destiny, and "lake the best attainable peace. The Dissolution of the Union Pre ferred to the Existence of Slav- In the debate in the house at Washing ton on Saturday, on the question of the repeal of the commutation clause in the conscription bill, Mr. Boutwell, of Mas sachusetts, declared that he preferred the dissolution of the Union rather than the existence of slavery. In this utter ance Mr. Boutwell was perfectly honest to his own convictions and those of the republican party. It has always been the aim of that party since it has held the power of this government to either ex terminate slavery or dissolve the Union. But this design has always been con cealed. Upon assuming control of the government, it was avowed that the only object of the war was to restore the Union, without interfering with the rights of any States in rebellion. Lest, however, such a course might end the war at once, measures were taken to pro long it until such time as the proper in fluences could be brought to bear against slavery. A few men were called out at first; hut lest these few men should strike a fatal blow at the rebellion, they were driven, while yet a mere molt, by the re publican press against the fortified posi tions of the rebels at Bull lien. As might have been expected, they were de feated. The South was encouraged iu its resistance, and the Notth roused to at- ion and strengthened in its growing hostility to the South. Thus one grand step of the anti-slavery conspirators wits successfully taken. McClellan was placed, in deference to public opinion, at the head of military affairs, but refusing to lend his aid to the revolutionary intentions of the ad ministration, he was embarassed at every step, and finally, when it was fear ed that he would win a victory in spite of the administration, lie was removed. In the meantime, under the guise of war measures, the dominant party began to put in op-ration measures designed to still further aggr.t rate the South and at the same time to strike at slavery. With th's view, the oinancipatiou proc lamation was issued; then the confisca tion ukase; and finally the order for in stituting servile insurrections, under the name of arming the uegroes. Precisely as was intended, each one of these meas ures made the South more hostile; more united, more determined, until finally, every particle of love for the old Union was swept-from existence among the southern people. This brought the war precisely where these unscrupulous conspirators wished to have it. It was well known that when the South once reached this con dition of united hostility to the North, thereafter there could be no compromise; either the war would continue until sla very should be exterminated, or the Union dissolved by a compromise. •We submit that everything in the con duct of the war indicates unerringly that the intention of the republican party has been to effect either the extermination of slavery or the dissolution of the Union. Mr. Bout well avows this when he as serta that he priaers cue cassoiution of the Union to the existence of slavery, These facts show us not only for what a wickd purpose our friends and broth ers have been slaughtered, our treasure squandered, and our once wealthy Re public bankrupted, but it also shows us to what use will be put the fresh drafts of men which we will be called upon to supply, and the new loans in money which will be wrung from an already impoverished people. How long will a free people submit to be slaughtered and plundered, not to preserve the Union, but to exterminate slavery ? Let next November answer whether we have forever given our lib erties to the keeping of a fanatical des potism—whether we are any longer worthy possessors of the legacy earned for us by the patriots of 17711. For two or three days past the opera tions of the armies in Virginia have been confined to picket firing, occasion al skirmishing and al tillery duels; but no engagement affecting the general sit uation has occurred. General Sheridan has brought his cavalry force safely across the James, with all his immense wagon train, which alone covered a space of six miles, while the entire cor tege extended to a line of twenty miles. After the attack of the rebels on Satur day at Wilcox Landing, General Sheri dan, with a large force hanging in his rear, brought his command in safety to the river five miles above Powhattan, when he got them over on pontoons protected by the gunboats. Ile fought every foot of ground splendidly, but lost five hundred men including four colonels. It is reported that a fierce attack was made by the rebels on the Fifth and Sixth corps on Saturday night, but was repulsed, although with heavy loss. Meantime General Grant is gradually advancing with his intrenchnienW to wards the city, and is said to express himself confident of capturing not only Petersburg, but as a sequence, the rebel capital also. The rebels have an eighteen gun bat• tery on the heights beyond the city, bearing upon the eentre of our lines in front of Petersburg. This battery has been very troublesome, and so far has proved too heavy for any aftillery that we have brought against it. The expedition of General Palmer, from Newbern, into the centre of North Carolina, has returned, and reports fa vorably of its progress. They destroyed the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad, near Goldsboro', and Immense quanti• tics of rebel stores, They found the country almost deserted, and easily cap tured the few troops left to guard the road. By despatches from Memphis we learn that a train on the Memphis and Charles ton Railroad was attacked by guerrillas near Collersvillc on the 23d. Two sol diers were killed and eight wounded; one citizen was also killed and two wounded. Six soldiers, who jumped from the train during the attack, were captured and taken to the woods. One of them, who escaped, reports that his companions were murdered by the guer rillas. GOVERNMENT LOAN.—Tbe ten-forty Bonds of the Government are not yet quite all taken. A few are left which those who have funds to invest can pur chase at any of our banks. Investments of this kind, are popular while almost any other bonds are a little uncertain at the present time and with the present fiuctnatiens in the standard currency. By an advertisement in another part of our paper it will be seen that this loan is redeemable in coin and may be sub scribed for from fifty dollars up to any given amount. The bonds bring about ten per cent. in currency, besides being good for their face, payable in gold when due. It will thus be seen that an invest ment of this kind affords as good a profit as one in any other stocks, while the holder, has the government bound for the redemption.

Tbbie - Inmtlilitith the working of F a itYo *lament in England, have all along perteired, since the outbreak of the war eon Germany and Denmark, that the actual participation of England in the &spite, must be preceded by the breaking 130 of the Palmerston Cabinet. That we are now about to witness this prelude, is, we think, all but certain, as will appear by a reference to the tele grapetenews from Europe, received last evening by way of Cape Rare. When the London Times reports the prevalence of confident rumors on Change pointing to a break-up in the Cabinet, it usually foreshadows what has been determined on. There are various causes pointing to such an issue. The term of the ar mistice closed on the 12th inst. Den• mark, it is said, refuses to renew it, and has given formal notice to that effect. The compromises thus far proposed in conference have been mutually rejected by both belligerants. Austria, if we arc to credit the lfern-Kal Iliploinati9ue, has received a formal warning from the British Foreign Office, that the reap pearance of the German fleets in the Bal tic would be followed by an order for the British fleet to proceed in the stole direction. Nothing daunted by this threat, thelatest declaration of German t• in the conference is that no part of Schleswig can he ceded to Denmark without submitting the question to a plebiscite In view of all this, we can readily un derstand that a reconstruction of the British Cabinet is among the earliest po litical certainties. The temper of the House of Commons has hee,me such as to demand a change of some sort. Loral Russel's a‘!ullnistration of the Foreign Office, as applied to European affitirs generally, is execrated on all hands; and it is inure than half suspected that he has lacked the nerve to meet, as u British Minister should have done, the attetnptstosubordinate the constitutional advisers of the Crown to baneful foreign influences. There is nothing which will 80 soon rouse the British people to action as the susiicion that such influences have an existence; and Lord Aberdeen is example of how n minister (other wise suspected) supposed to connive id such extra ecnstitutional means of info. encing the foreign policy 01 the nation, comes to be contemned and despised. The Crimean war, but for the temporiz ing tendencies of Aberdeen and the sus. pected influence of the German relatives of the soverei4n, would have been cone menced mangy months sooner than it was. And all the signs point unmistakably to a repetition—with new actors on the stage—of the aistory of events ten years gone by. A Sudden Gale on the Lake Our city win visited by a very sudden gale on Sunday evening last. The first pirt of the evening was most delightful, there being lig little wind, and many were enjoying themselves sailing inside the break-water along Michigan Avenue. At about 8:30p. tn. there was a sudden change of the Jvind, which at first blew lightly, but ina few moments increased to a gale. Tin scene at this moment was beyond lescription. Those who but a few monvnts belore were sailing along over smioth water, now found themselves batting with an ungovernable wind. The sal boats held up for a inn. inept, but beirg poorly managed, three of them were inset. The first one cap sized containeda lady and gentlemen.

The London Reader says of it "\o one will be disappointed with this charm ing tale of home life and home affections. It Is written tvith rare beauty of style--sharp and piquant. "The story is divided into a parts:-"fare. the Wedding;" "Before the Trial;" Hew it was Borne." The characters ate varialtaltzd well drawn. Brandon, with his agreeable self-conceit, his pleasant and affectionate ways, good sone and gay temper, Is well fitted, with the aid of Rose, to sustain the light comedy of the story. Then for the sensational element, or deeper interest of the book, turn to Capt. Yore Forester, and his sweet bird of song—his beautiful Tianet. She so expansive and sympathetic, he so re served and self-contatned,• she so impulsive, he so resolute; she so gay and royal in temperment, he so proud and solitary, butwcherish in se cret a world of tender and romantic reverence (or the women he loved. Shortly after their marriage, the war breaks out out in India, and Vere's regiment Is Ordered there. Linnets trial has now come. How her trust and faith are tried and not found wanting. Sere sells out, and returns to her with.hts honor sullied by a mystery, which be will not clear away, condemned by the whole world except his true and faithful wife.
