Ho made one of his trieehes (which are very comical when origlitoil) which he intended as a defense of his late vote in Ccongr ess, repealing the three hundred dollar commutation The following is an extract from the .Gketierals address ak it appears in an Al (1 1 1thin,city contemporaries: "The-General devoted the closing part of his address to an explanation of his vote upon the question of striking out.the three hut fired dol. clauseln the conscription act. He declared that he had, during his Congressional .comtimgiven a single vote for which he coulii conscientionsly lay his hand upon his heart and deflate, before God and man, he believed was tight, it was his vote to strike out the hundred dollar commutation clause.

When the President returned from vis ' iting Guarr, he annuunced to the Phil adelphia Union Leaguers, that Rich mond was upon the eve or being captur e*, and that the General did not need another man. Upon the strength of this. and similar statements, backed by Senator WILSON'EI assurance, that we 'had received 700,00 D volunteers since last October, Congress by a vote of two .to one refused to repeal the commuta tion alluded to. But " Honest ABE," according to Gen. Mooonsan, lied, and that, too, most infamously, when he ad dreuaid the Philadelphians, 'assuring their that GRANT needed no More men.

But when GeR. Moonvtian elared that there "were not enough of t des or money in Allegheny County to 2nduce him to change his vote," he merely outrages the common intelligence 'of his hearers.

There have been, and theie still con tinue to be made, strenuous efforts upon the part of some of our people, many of whom are honest in their convictions, while by far too many are prompted either by passion or by interest, to cre- Ate a belief in the minds of the people at large that the "administration" is the government. As Mr. Lincoln appears to have adopt ed this idea—false as it is—the idea that he is the 'government, although he has lately stated that "events have control. led" or governed him (thus making "events" and not the laws, the govern ment, and himself the "organ" only), and as many of his admirers have com pared him to Washington, the following extract from the Farewell Address is in troduced as clearly defining Washing ton's ideas of what constitutes the gov ernment of the United States, and also what the "organ," or is other words, the "administration" is : The government, the offspring of our own choice, uninfluenced and unawed, adopted uponfull investigation and ma ture deliberation, completely free In its principles, in the distribution of its pow ers, uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support. Res pect for its authority, compliance with its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoined by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their con stitutions of government. But the Con stitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people is sazrredly oblig atory upon all. The very idea of the power and the right of the people to es tablish government presupposes the duty of every individual to obey the estab lished government. All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and a_saocia tions under whatever plausible charac ter, with the real design to direct, con trol, counteract or awe the regular de dberation and action of the constituted authorities (whether State, city or coun ty, of judicial or other nature, by the Administration and in violation of the Constitution or vice versa,) are destruc tive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organ ize faction, to give it au artificial and ex traordinary force, to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party—often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public Administration the mirror of the ill con certed and incongruous projects of fac tion, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested "by com mon counsels and modified by mutual interests." Besides showing the distinction made between the "Government" and the "Administration," which is simply the chosen (temporary) "organ" for carry ing the Constitetiong/ will of the people into effect, the foregoing extract con tains much that is calculated to combat the prevalent, and increasing, and dan gerous errors of the day. And in view Of the disposition already shown by the "party" in power, this additional extract may not be inappropriately given as one of Washington's warnings to the people. However, combinations or associa tions of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, beConie potent engines, by which cunning, ambitions, • and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the pow er of the people, and to usurp for them selves the reins of Government; destroy. ing afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjnst disunion THE following . we copy from a Chi cago Prin.!: "From many sections in the lmerior of this state, we have sad ac counts of the ravages of the chintz bug among the now ripening grain. In Bu reau an Kane counties whole fields of wheat have been ruined by this pest of the harvest field, almost within a single day. Dr. T. W. Stitt, of this city, who has just returned from a visit to the country, where he spent some time in making careful examinations of -the , drops, gives us the result of his observa tions, and furnishes some specimens taken -from different Wheat-fields,*which corroborate the worse accounts yet re ceived of the ravages of the little -var mint in question. In the three counties of Bureau, Kane and' U Page, Dr. Stitt examined forty fields of wheat, thirty Seven of oats, twenty-nine of rye, sev enteen of barley, twenty-seven of corn, and seventeen of sorghum. The re sult of this examination was the opinion j that in Bureau and Kane, wheat will not average more than one-eighth of a crop, while in Du Page it may reach one third of a crop. Spring wheat in Bu reau and Kane is virtually dead, and not worth the expense of harvesting. Win ter wheat is not quite so bad off, yet many fields of this will not pay for re moving the crop from the ground. In Du Page county, the fields examined be ing generally upon lower ground, more retentive of moisture, the destruction is not Otte so complete. -Barley, rye, and early oats, are less damaged, being near ly ripe before the advent of the bug; but late 'oat9 will be generally destroyed. Corn and sorghum, unless rain shOuld drive back the bugs, will also fall a prey to this devouring insect. In Bureau county; a field of forty acres of wheat which Doctor Stitt examined on Saturday at live o'clock and found to be in a most healthful condition, giving promise of a bountiful yield,was observed in the course of thirty-sit hours to , turn to a dull, dead color. On Tuesday Morn ing the same field was -'examined, and I was found to be killed dead; every stalk being surrounded by an army Of the in -vaders. Doctor Stitt' brought' - to't this city an ounce vial full of these detesta ble and unpleasant bugs, gathered from Only two stalks of sorghum in' Bureau. 'The bugs appear to be in all Stages of developement; from tender infancy, so •small as to be scarcely perceptible, up to the mature specimen, about the size of grain of 'wheat.

THE POST---PITTSBITItqff,;-'OIIPAN 40161150,- JULY 15, 1864. Pfl * L lifillENT CASE. - A !EAU • Weilaent Deserts his atidsl2 mis Away with - -KiAnother Woman . L . .Vopi The lletrkVAdvertuter, June 29. ur Pontiac neighbors are just now *ercised,itirketute of scandal that has •ttin brottglittolikht in that town, in ' . 'which Mr. Wm. H. Perry, President of th&flrst National Bank there, figures as thetmost conspicuous character. This person has for some time past been re siding at Pontiac, having been a former resident at Medina, N. Y. At one time, if we mistajto-not, he was connect ed with the novf deffinct Bank of Pot]. ac. It seems that before he removed with his family to Pontiac he formed the ac quaintance', at his former place of resi dence, of a blooming young widow named Mrs. Laura Wilson, with whom he became, intimately associated—and for aught we know, too much so. Be that as It may, she accepted his invita tion to visit Pontiac, where Perry in troduced her into his own household and into the most aristocratic families In the Vicinity. Mrs. Wilson, being, to all appearances, an accomplished lady, soon became a favorite in - the place. Perty paid all attentions possible to her, andifrequently treated her with drives, rides, and occasionally accompanied her to concerts, &c. All this time the gsy deceiver was prompt in his attendance to bUsiness, and to his family, which was, of course, a ruse to divert any sus picions that might arise in reference to his conduct. Frequently, during the past six months Perry was called to Detroit on business, and at each trip he was accompanied by his paramour. They put up at the Bid dle and Russel Houses, where they re gistered themselves as a man and wife, and occupied the same apartments. Thetse visits to the city were often made, and the same programme enacted. At times Mrs. Wilson would come in alone, and afterwards be joined by Perry. The latter always paid the hotel bills,amount ing to $25 and upwards each time. A few days ago Mr. Perry informed his wilts! that she bad better take strip to and, unsuspectingly, she consented to take the trip. The strange conduct, however, of her husband in ,making this proposition excited her sus picions, hut, not being of a jealous turn of mind, she resolved not to believe her self, and started from home as desired. In her way to Detroit hermind naturally reverted to the past, and the suspicions previously suggested to her assumed a more definite shape. Laboring under such impressions as naturally crowded upon her mind, she determined, upon mature reflection, to return home. The Next westward bound train con veyed her bark to Pontiac, and then she found that her worst fears were more than realized. Mrs. Wilson had evi tlettly taken full possession of her house, with the intention of "staying awhile." All solicitations upon the part of Mrs. Perry could not prevail upon the para mour of her husband to leave. She had beeninvited by Mr. P. to stay, and she was "not going to leave, come what might." had this occurred in some peo ple's house, a storm would have instant ly arisen,. and might have broken with unrelenting Orly upon the head of the impudent jade who dared to invade the sanctity of a peaceable household. Mrs. Perry, however, with a perseverance which does her credit, refrained from engaging in a personal encounter with a degraded one of her sex, and sought legal advice upon the subject. She cal led upon Mr. M. E. Crofoot, Prosecuting Attorney for Oakland county, who im mediately set about getting redress for the outraged wife. As no criminal acts could be proven against the parties, in that county, a conference wan had with Mr. Gavin, the prosecuting officer of this county, and it was decided to arreut Perry on n charge of lascivious conduct with Mrs. Wilson, and afterwards have Mrs. Perry ! prefer a charge of adultery against him. The former course was pursued, and on Monday the papers were duly made out, and officer Sullivan started to Pontiac to arrest the delinquent. liy some means or other Perry got wind of Ids contemplated arrest, and at once con cocted a scheme to thwart the authori ties of their designs. He engaged a car singe arid horses, and paid a driver $25 to meet hlin with the vehicle at Birming ham, upon the arrival of the train at that place. In order to put everybody on the wrong scent he purchased tick ets for himself and female companion for Detroit, giving out that he intended to visit the city on business. Thu guilty couple left the the cars at Birmingham, and, jumping into the carriage in wait ing, were soon being rapidly driven to ward Detroit. The officer, upon his ar rival at Pontiac, found that Perry had left for this city ahead of him. He, however, traced the parties to Birming ham, and, finding that they had about an hour's start of him, he telegraphed to the Sheriff at Pontiac and the Sheriff here to intercept the fugitives. Those ofliciali scattered officers all over the country, but at a late hour on Monday night, neither Perry or, his mistress could be found. On Tuesday morning, it was ascertained that they had taken the Pontiac Plank Road, leading to this city, r lying here about 5 or fi o'clock in the evening, and the next heard of them they were safely enjoying their freedom in Canada, Since the above Wll3 in type our cor respondent at Pontiac writes that a ru mor was current that Mr. Perry is a de f dilter to the bank in a large bull; but to what extent is not known. The safe cannot lie opened, as he has the combi- nation of the inner lock, therefore it cannot be ascertained bow much is in it, or how much ho has taken away with him. A considerable amount had been deposited In the bank by the citi• zens-of Pontiac, which, it is feared, will be a total loss. The future alone will determine whether this money Is in the safe, or in Perry's possession. Another Defeat of the British in New Zealand.

Cushing, of the gunboat NIonticOlo ; - , on the 25th inst., towirdti Wilmingtozi;',l4. 0., In a cutter and 8S teen men. They passed the rebel forts. off the west bar at Wilmington, and started tip the Cape Fear river. After a narrow'escape of being run over by one of the rebel steamers plying the river, he passed the second line of batteries and continued his course until Old Bruns. wick was reached, where the rebelshrave; a heavy battery, when he was hailed and fired - upon but succeeded in passing um scathed,b y feigning to pass down the river and crossing to the friendly cover of the opposite bank. He then continu ed his course up the river. By this arti fice the rebels were deceived, and sig nalled to the forts to intercept him as he came down the river, which they sup possed was the direction taken. At half past two the nest morning the captain had reached a point seven miles from Wilmington, where he caused the boat to be hauled on the banks and con cealed from view by bushes and marsh grass. Day had now dawned, and it became necessary to select a place of concealment, which was found in the brush on the banks. When night had fairly set in the cap tain prepared to launch his boat, when two floats rounded the point,. and he supposed, having discovered his posi tion, they designed to attack him; but it proved to be a returned fishing party. The entire party were captured—eight 'in number. Compelling them to act in the capacity of guides, he proceeded to examine all the fortifications, river ob structions and other objects of interest within three miles of Wilmington. Here he was compelled to pass through a creek running through a cypress swamp. By two o'clock that morning a road was reached, which proved to he a branch to the main road to Wilmington, join ing it at a point two miles distant. The party was here divided, ten being left to hold this road; and the captain, tak ing the remaining eight men, took posi tion at the junction of the roads, one of Which was the main. Several prison ers were here captured, but none of im portance. At about 11 o'clock a. in., the rebel courier, with the mails from Fort Fi'her and lower batteries, on his way to Wilmington, whose approach was awaited, came duly along, and he with his entire mail, was captured. (.41 ex amination tills uroved to be a prize of value, there being upwards of two hun dred documents, private and official, and many of great importance. Shortly after more prisoners were cap tured. The telegraph leading to Wil mington was then cut for several him dred yards, rejoined the squad left with the boat, and proceeding clown the creek, reached the river about dark The prisoners impeding the speed of the boats, measures were taken to dispose of them by depriving one of the fishing boats or oars and sails and setting it adrift In the middle of the river, thus rendering it impossible for them to give the alarm until the tide floated them on some friendly bank. But widle pdtting this plan into execution, a steamer ap proached rapidly, and detection was only avoided by the party leaping into the water, and holding on to the gun vi ales of the boat The steamer passing, the prisoners and boats were sent adrift. Nothing of interest occurred on the route down the river until at a point be tween the batteries at Brunswick and Fort Lisher, when a boat was discover- ed flaking rapidly towards the shore. After an exciting chase she was over taken, and her occupants, consisting of six persons, four of whom were soldiers, were taken on board and the boat cut adrift. From them information was oh- tained that the rebels were on the qui having boats posted at the narrow entrance between the forts to intercept the return. To understand the position of the party, it should be known that they were then but three hundred yards distant from two forts, and this on a moonlight night. Captain Cushing, on learning the rebels' designs, resolved to take a desperate chance of fighting his way through, supposing that in case there were but one or two boats he might, by giving a broadside, escape in the confus ion. On arriving at the mouth of the harbor he perceived, as he imagined, one large limit, which, wonderfully prolific, soma gave birth to three more; which Were afterwards increased in number by live from the opposite bank. This corn- pletely blocadud up the narrow entrance t,, the harbor. The helm was put hard a port to gain distance, and seeing a large sail-boat filled with troops (seventy five musketeers), at once decided that the only hope lay in outmanceuvering them. TM: rebels, providentially, did not during this interval tire a shot, no doubt anticipating the certain capture of all. There being another means of en trance into the harbor (the west bar) the only possible hope was in impress ing the rebels with the opinion that we would attempt that; the only remaining chance of escape. Accordingly, appar ently making for this point, the rebel boats were drawn together in pursuit, when, rapidly changing his direction,the captain brought his boat hack, to the other entrance (the east bar) and deeply loaded as she was (twenty.six in the boat) forced her iuto the breakers. The rebels, evidently foiled, dared not ven ture to follow, and the guns of the bat teries, which were pointed to rake the channel, were unprepared to inflict damage. Captain Cushing has arrrived safely with his eight prisoners and mail, and can congratulate himself in having per formed one of the most hazardous and daring feats of the war. SOME, hesitation and unwillingness I was manifested in New York by thenew regiments to respond promptly to the call for militia men to go to Washington and Baltimore. But their hesitation can easily be excused when we consider the uncertainty of their destination. Most of them are unused to the service, and have never had any experience in the field, and are therefore fit for garrison duty and nothing more at present. They are afraid of the same fate which attend. ed the hundred days' men who were re cruited some time ago in New York and other districts, for the alleged purpose of o: copying the forts around Washing ton, and allow the experienced veterans to take the field. But they were shame fully deceived, and on their arrival at Washington were immediately sent to the front, to be butchered and slatighter ed by experienced veterans. But rthis will not happen to the men who are now being enllited, and after the invaders are expelled, they can return to enjoy peace and comfort at home, as by that time the hundred days will have expired, THE affection of the country for Geo. B. McClellan, was never displayed in a more favorable light than at the present juncture. All the states now point- to him as the only one capable of assuming command of the hundred day men In defense of the invaded states.

GOLDIIINING.—Increased attention has been attracted to the Territories of Col• orado and Idaho, by the rich gold mines which have been discovered there. The country is not very rich in soil, but it delightful and healthy, and the amount of emigration is on the increase. We do not doubt that the future hopes of those territories are anything but incon siderable, although our predictions are not so sanguine as those of some papers. G OVICRNOR PARKER of New Jersey, also participates in the emulation display. ed by all the Governors of States in re cruiting men for the defense of the cap. ital,and has issued a proclamation calling for the immediate organization of the men into collbanies and regiments for that noble purpose. Without any for. mai demand oa him by_the government, and thinking that tkie — dationab capital was seriously threatened, he asked for troops for thirty days service, in Penn sylvania, Maryland and the District of Columbia. - if Ix the draft which lately came btr in Prince George's county, Maryland, it resulted that 660 persons were drawn, of whom 322 were slaves. This itiforma• lion leads us into the belief that:the Marylanders wish to 'give ample oppor tuniiies to the 'gentlemen of color to display their valor in the field.
