AhKPIAIs Under this - startling caption, we have it announced, in large letters, that a number of leading Secessionists are now in Canada 'whose business, we are as sured, hy l Atriend the war and secure the triumph , 1 4kf. , the Deniocratic party." How theseAesirable• objects are to be obtainek ;the framers of the story failed to comnirtnicate. The person of partic ular n4ta,',lvhose presence in this gath ering attracts most attention, is Mr. JACOB THOMPEON, Secretary of the In rerior under Mr. BUCHANAN; and he is made to ', : . figure extensively in the "plots"-,alluded; to, merely because he once °Coupled an Important position under :1412yetrtocratic Administration. But in triing to palm this sensation upon the people,, there was no necessity in giving undue importance to JAKE THOMPSON, IteCaUSe he was a member of BUCkARAR'S Cabinet. If that was the cause of his becoming a rebel it was a fatal misfortune to him, and grieveous ly has he answered it. His large for• tune, estimated at a million of dollars, when the rebellion began, is all gone from hint: • But Tnowsox's connection with the Administration in question, was not the cause of his joining the Se cessionists; if k¢ watt, it should have similarly operated upon his colleagues. There is Gen. JOHN A. Dr; whose loy alty noone doubts, who was a member of BucTrissit's Cabinet; there, too, is STANTON. another of the same Cabinet. There JOSKPIC HOLT, BUCHANAN'S Postmaster General and afterwards Sec retary of. War, and there is Horwrio KING, who succeeded Hoer as Postmaster General. These four gentlemen, were all members of the A.dthtnistration of Mr. BUCEIANAN and noi - i'Althy, all hold important posi tious under the present dynasty. From these facts the moat intense Abolitionist must admit,. that there was nothing contaminating in the mere connection of Darn TnompsoN with our govrenment at the time he was at the head of the Interior-Department. This point being gained, we :lo nut see that, TROMPHSON'S presence in Cana da is of any great importance. He has taken no active part in the rebellion, and he hi - one of the last men in the South in whom Jim. Davis would con fide. His having been aU. S. Cabinet officer loves him no importance, what ever, in the estimation of DAVIS; SO that the_whole story, concerning his business in Canada, is merely an Aboli tion invention. We do not, of course, deny fhitt - he is in Canada, but so are hundreds stf., others similarly situated. But uptm the very heels of this story about TiEOUPSON being intrusted with peace PiOpotsitions, we have another of an entirely opposite character, and, of course a± =fabrication, also; it is now going then:lands of the Abolition papers, and was published in yesterday's Pitts burgh Commercial. It is to the effect that a Col- Jacongs of 111. and one ED • IEOND King—of New York, lately got a letter fr i om President astccutt. to Gen, GRANT t. ytikich ,secured their passage through our lines, and their safe arrival in Richniond. Safe in the rebel capital, these two worthies were nicely and sumptMiMily, entertained. They had several:.: interviws with JEFF Davis, whom they report to be in excellent health li a . , nd spirits, looking like one who worild live to see three score and ten .• years, at least Col. — . Jacqunst reports that he found the rebel P e r". dent "Incorrigible," so much so as to, usapress him with the conviction that there is. no l!hope of reconciliation." Devia *c . eati3d Pthese gentlemen kindly; after whYch Ihey speedily returned to W,ashiniton, to communicate the result of theiijouiney to our Administration. 'lf Rai Dews is :`incorrigible," so much Bo as.to impress JacQuEs with the conviet44: that there are r "no hopes of reconciliation," how is it that JAKE Tnotcramds to Canada with proposi- done or peace? The Abolition fabrica- tors of Abase stories should be more care ful in their details. JEFF DAVIS IS fix ed, "incorrigibly;"' upon the seperation and independence of the South, so we are infetrmed by JACQUES, while another iloyal'g i supporter of the Administra tion tells[ us that JAKE THOM:PBON is in Canada °with propositions to bring the secedesr,l3titelf' back into the Union.

UNMASKING OURSELF The Commercial with rare sagacity, has at length discovered that the Post is unmasking itself, awl comments in this way upon it: If Mr. Litvc.u.s is all wrOng, .711 PIT DAVIS must be all rig't. Why don't you say so neighbor, and in done with itl You mean it, "r you would manifest a little more sympathy for the iloverament that protects you. This Commercial man's brain Is soften ;ng;"the weather is too hot for him. JEFF Davis is a traitor to the °govern ment, and A.IIRAHANf LINCOLN is a tri fling political gamester, unfitted for the position he occupies He has pervert ed our struggle for national unity, into one for negro emancipation, whicfp has prolonged the rebellion, a crime little less in magnitude than DAVIS' open trea sun. These being our present convic tions regarding LINCOLN and DAVIS, the Commercial will, at once, perceive that there is not much likelihood of our being complimentary to either. As to the protection which the govern ment affords lld, we do not feel under any obligation for it to Mr. LINCOLN. In this respect his Excellency and we are upon a perfect equality: the same national constitution and laws protect us alike, the only difference between us is that we obey the Constitution and the laws, while he clairds the right to violate them whenever he sees proper to do so. From this the Commercial will see that instead of LlNcout being •`wrong" and "DAVIS right," we con sider them both wrong and speak ac cordingly. - - WANTS THE PROOF, The Gazette calls upon us to prove that President LINCOLN said, after visiting Gan. GRANT, that-the latter did not need "another man." The -first thing that strikes us, in this connection is, our neighbor delaying its call for proof, un til the present time—iome five or six weeks after the speech in question was delivered. a Onr proof is to be found in the reports of Mr. LiNcoui's saying, after returning from seeing GRANT, which were telegraphed by faithful Ab olition correspondents, to the leading Abolition papers of the country. I f the Gazette will look back, it may find it in its own columns. Had our neighbor asked for the speech a month or so ago, we might have been able to tell precisely where to find it; but as we do not file all the jokes and nonsense of Mr. LINCOLN, we cannot at present undertake to search for it. That the President made the remark is notorious enough—if we can believe Abolition correspondents. But why does our neighbor, at this late day call for proof of a thing which has never been denied. Is the call for an other:half million of men, notwithstand ing the confident assurance in question, beginning to operate upon our neigh bor's sensibilities? It looks so, which is a strong indication of "things having commenced working." The Peace Movement The peace movement is rapidly gain ing ground throughout the entire coun iry, both North and South. The peo. ple are not so sanguine for the continu ation of this unhappy struggle as they were in the beginning. They express a manifest unwillingness on their part to raise men and money in order to pros ecute the war any further, in fact they are tired of suffering any longer the vainful influences which accompany such a gigantic civil struggle as the one in which we are now engaged, and whose magnitude was never before equalled since the world was created. Both parties are anxious for peace, and it would be difficult to determine on which side it is mostly desired. The North and South commenced this terri ble war without . considering the evil consequences which would attend it, and both were equally lavish in their ex penditures, and their gigantic prepara tions for the vigorous continuation thereof. They both are now grieving over their impetuosity, and mourning over their bravest and most energetic citizens, whose bones now whiten the plains of Virginia, , and whose efforts, united with our own, would have raised this country to a standard of wealth and glory unprecedented in the annals of kingdoms, empires, and republics. True it is that we have astonished) the world with our warlike energy, and at tracted the admiration of all Europe through the immense resources which we have displayed during the war, but what benefit do we gain by this, or can we contemplate this fact with any real complacency, while so many thousands of our brave men are no more, and while we ourselves are taxed beyond endurance% No we have accomplished nothing worth a serious consideration during this war, and therefore are we tired of it, and can barely refrain from expressing our disgust at the idea of prosecuting it any longer. Even Mas sachusetts which at first was so sanguine for war, and for the abolition of slavery throughout .the Union, is now crying for peace. We desire the restoration of the Union, if it is possible to obtain it, but the experience of three years spent in vain is a convincing argument for us to be guided by on that score. The country is loud in its cryings for peace, and this it must have in spite of the Administration with all its Abolition theories. An order has been issued recently from the War department, and promul gated to the army in regard to the term of service of officers. It runs as fol lows: "No musters of officers for a less term than three' years will be recogniz. ed by this office, and if; . upon the ex piration of the term of service of a reg iment, the services of the officers are re quired, they will be retained for three years from the date of their last muster , 11 By this order all officers whose ability or meritorious conduct have secured them promotion are to be 'retained 'rude 'finitely in the United States service. Although we do not symp, tuze in a great degree with the unfortunate officers who have according to their OWEI state tuents refuse promotion on account of the above order, nevertheless we think that men who have faithfuly served their country for a certain period should after that period had exdired be permitted to return to their peaceful homes, if it be their wish to do so. But an officer who avoids elevation in rank on Illeoxl:fave grounds is not our beau ideal ciett -, ry hero. However we do not : 611kiihat some benifits may be gained. dirsiugh this order, because fewer commissions will be obtained for a consideration,. and Alms they will be left open to,the brave soldiers and men who follow tne); sea profession, , and by that means a great many , advantages w.lllbe . gained AO our armies. a - • 'Amu*: Joss= Siterm in the Hee iletton'lmyytatei testified - 41e othet• dap that 4 tak a Omeiallobvenratioafz s ce contractor cheated -- th e; MOiquisiSMV,ki 'What•4266thiffetittirj:,olP.ther <eharacte# 'arid econthirif the times, .+11m21.13:: THE POST-PITTSIDERGB, lil A MORNING, LY The Late George P. Morris A telegraph despatch announced,some days ago, the death of George P. Mor• ris, well known in this country and in Europe, as apoet and a man of letters, and as a cvltivated and genial gentle man, who particularly excelled in belle lettres and light literature. Mr. Morris was born in Philadelphia in 1802. He went to New York in eat ly life, and ertramenced the publication of the miror newspaper in 1823 in connec tion with Saint. Woodworth. He pur sued this hutiness until 1842, his column being enriched by the contributions of such writers as Bryant, Paulding. Hal leek, and HOffman, together with Fay, Willis, Cox, and Eppes Sargent. When, in 1863, the Mirror was revived, N. P. Willis was associated with Gen. Morris, and this literary and business partner ship has been continued in the Home Journal, after the Mirror was sold, until death brought it to an end. The Home Journal was:commenced &Om the Na tional Press in 1846. In his character as an editor Mr. Morris has always com manded respect for his fact and judg ment, as well as for the good taste and delicacy which he has shown. Mr. Morris is more widely known as a poet, however, than as an editor. His writings have not been characterized by those traits which command respect and popularity. He wrote an opera libretto for the "Maid of Saxony" in 1842; the •`Deserted Bride" in 1853; the "Song Writers of America," "National Melodies," "Prose and Poetry of Eu rope and America," (in connection with Willis,) "The little Frenchman and his Water Lots;" and some minor things. Besides the above he has penned several other poems, which have been published in various Darius. The two compositions by which he is most largely known, and on which host lasting reputation will rest, are entitled "Woodman, Spare that Tree"—a beautiful ballad, which enjoys an European as well as an American reputation—and "Near the. Lake where drooped the Willow." Both of these compositions breathe the pure spirit of ballad poetry, and will live durably in English literature. —Philadelphia Amer. New York vs. Pennsylvania. The city Of New York, which, during the war has been the center place of vol unteering, under the late Presidential call is doing hut poorly- Great efforts were being made in order to organize new militia regiments, or till the old once, but all in vain. New York is los ing a great pan of the energy which she manifested .at first, and the emigrants who laud by thousands every week at Castle Garden, are becoming more wary than formerly, and in place of being en rolled into the volunteer regiments, and swindled by cunning bounty brokers out of their money, they now replace those who have volunteered during . the war, or else come and settle in the West, where they can have good wages and labor in abundance. Thus it is that the New York gentry arc left to themselves to till their quotas, and see the effects! Alter all their effort:; they could hardly raise a regiment for the hundred day's ser vice, and the regiments that they did raise are so very slender, and so remark ably thin in numbers, that one regiment is composed ot about an average it three or four hundred men, that is to say three full companies. Yet these are the men who have been sneerint , at Penn sylvanians since the raid commenced. Our quotas were always tilled, not by emigrants lately landed, but front our naturalized citizens, and the drain upon our State has been great, and the far met s are so scarce of hands that they are obliged to offer large inducements in order to procure any. Nevertheless our quota is already filled in a short time, and we have done bettet than New York can expect to do for sonic time. With this consideration before them, how can they any longer reproach Penn sylvania with dil.•etonness in volun teering? They had better turn their minds to something else, if they wish to avoid the draft. Pennsylvania Farmers We cannot hut feel indignant at the sneers thrown at the f''nu-ylvanians in general, and the Farmers in particular, since the recent rebel invasion of our borders. Such sneers are unjust, and generally come from men who can see no farther than to make the first step, while they pas; over everything else, either because their spleen will not al low them to scrutinize and distinguish the causes from the effects, or because they have not intelligence enough to do so. Such men represent the Pennsvl rania farmers as a herd of panic-strick en sheep, fleeing before the roaring lions of Dixie. Listen to one of them : "The flight of tLe Pennsylvania Farmers be fore a few scattered bodies of rebels who might have been easily beaten by a reso lute company of armed men, has pro duced serious damage in the State." This is not a correct statement, and even if it were so, who is to blame ? Are a few peaceable unarmed farmers, scattered over the borders of our State to be found culpable because they had to save their lives and property through flight from a horde of desperate guerrillas ? Or is the Administration to blame, which through its negligence was the real cause of the raid, which opened the Cumberland Clap to accommodate them with an easy pas sage, and which left Martinsburg ex posed with three million dollars worth of stores, in order not to disappoint their raiding propensities? Or what are all our men doing that our national capital cannot be menaced with attack, with out issuing proclamations without num ber, and creating such intense excite ment, after three years' experience of rebel warfaxe? The Petroleum Production and the Atmosphere If we arc to credit the statements of gentlemen whose intelligence and prac tical experience entitle their opinions to the highest respect, the production of the oil wells. in this region is consider ably effected by the atmosphere. We arc told that the proportion of oil produced from a well is far greater during the prevalence of wet weather, when the atmosphere is heavy, than in dry weather, when the atmosphere is comparatively light. The reasons given for this is, that the pressure from the heavy atmosphere -upon the earth forces up the oil to the surface from its hidden depths. It is stated in proof of this that both flowing and pumping wells produce more during the night, than in the same length of time in daylight, when the weather is is dry. While neither affirming nor denying our belief in the views of the gentlemen advocating these ideas, the experience 01 last summer and this, would seem to toe in favor of the theory iitlduced During the last summer, the wells gave out more rapidly than they have this. But during the hill, the production was considerably augmented. This increase was fully maintained until the dry weath er of the present season. In the absence of reliable data, we are content merely to advance the jauggeetion as stated to us, in the hope that some practical scien tific mind Will investigate the matter, rand lay the results before the public DU- City Regioter. :n A Thlatri3LE tornado was experienced ficutherniVennont last Monday.

New York Directory, A writer in the N. Y. Post says: In the former articles on names in the Now York -Directory, for 1804, there was a real or fanciful connection of the name with humanity, direct or indirect. Oth er names of frequent occurrence in the Directory refer to,or are associated with animated nature. The following are connected with the domestic animals; Herd, Bull, Bullock, Ox and Steer; the English word Cow does not occur, hut Vache, its corres ponding French word, does; Colt, Steed, Katt, Hogg, Lamb and Kidd, and the meats, Vitale., Bacon and Rialbtleisch; and of dogs we find Pointer and Spaniel. Wild animals are also found: Deer, Stagg, Buck and Roe; Lyon, Bear, Wolf and Fox; Badger, Lynch, Beaver, Mink, Hare, Coon, Ratt, Mole, and the apoc. ryphal animal of the olden time, Griffin. The names of birds are still more nu merous: Duck, Drake and:Goslina; Cock, Hen; Swan, Goose and Teal; Phoenix, Eagle, Hawk; Lark, Thrush, bparrnw, Starling, Wren- Crow, Raven, Dew; Snipe, Crane, Heron, Stork; Pidgeon, Dove: Batt, Grouse, Partridge, Quail, Robin, Peacock, Fowle, Bird Wing, Bill, Covey, Eggs. The fhllowing names are connected with fishes: Fish, Whales, Shark, Stur geon, Haddock, Seal, Bass, Salmon, Mackrell, Herring, R iy, E.-ls, Killey, Pike, Trout, Goldfish, Seeker and Leach; Finn, Gill, Roes, Shells. There are but few names connected with insects: Bees, Roach, Moth and Grub; and the only one that bears a re semblance in sound to any species of snake is Adder not er , ppdrhead. Turning from animated nature we find some names that address them selves to the senses of seeing and hear ing. The following arc connected with color: White, Black, Brown, Green, Blue, Gray, Scarlet, Violet, Canary, Wine, Blanc, Dunn. The following re late to music: Organ, Piano, Harp, Viol, Fife, Flute, Horn and Drum. The martial tone of the last names leads to other names that connect themselves in the mind with the war. Of these are Armer, Lance, Pike, Spear, Dart, Bow, Shield, Swords, Dirk, Hilt, Gun,Cannon, Flag and Banner.

A. • "Rally Around the Flag Boys." This is the favorite motto of the Loyal Leaguers throughout the country. It is their "battle cry" for carrying elections by fraud, and in secret conspiracies against Democrats. By such "catch words,' they have made some honest people believe they were sincere in their 4levotion to the country, when in fact they have proved to he only a secret con clave to perpetuate in power a rotten, corrupt Administration, and to proscribe' all who will not subscribe to th- infalli• bility or "c:tpering•Old Abe," The time has come, Mi..% ever, when these blatant demagogues can have au opportunity to "rally around the flag" in a sense that really means soinethin Let this oath bound organization of "ex clusive4,' hasten to the front, the oppor tunity is zoo*, and their Chief is sup posed to be in danger. They are bound by their solemn orgies to stand by each other in opposing Democrats at home, I now let them "right flank" by Lodge, and • march against the rebels But these mock patriots will do no sth h thing They will cowardly hide behind their lodge emblems, and sneak :May under cover of their dark lanterns, anti brazenly denounce Democrats for not going to fight the battles they have in vited, while they remain at home to en - joy their fat offices, and line their pockets front t h e earnings 0: an over taxed peg plc "Itally around the Hag, b"ys." Go, Leaguers, like men into the ranks, and show that you are sincere in your pre , tendons. If you believe in the Procla mations and the rotten borrougt system, and all the other new tangled theories upon which the war is prosecuted, vol. unteer by organizations and tune up your battle songs on the field. In nearly every Republican paper we take up, these catch words are displayed to drum up the taithful to the lodge room, and humbug the people with the idea of "exclusive loyality " The flag is safe enough here—the place to rally around it is at the post of danger. On ward, Leaguers, to the rescue, or prove youiselves in the classic language of Ilealy, "a band of sneaks. "—Albany A r Neutrality in Kentucky Kentucky will soon be entirely in the hands of the Confederacy. That State through the neutrality which it presery ed during this long and bloody struggle, has suffered more and contended with more difficulties than any other State in the Union. Its neutrality was not of that sort, which deters the citizens from aiding or abetting either party in the war for the restoration of the Union, and the Abolition of slavery, on the contrary the inhabitants were allowed to embrace the principle of either con tending party,so that some Kentuckians sided with the rebels while others de fended the old flag. This arose from the general Union sentiment prevailing throughout that State, and their dislike to fight for the freedom of slaves at the risk of their own lives. In this manner was the State drained of more troops comparatively than any contending State. There was a law once enforced in Greece that no citizen could observe neutrality during a public dispute, and it would be fortunate for Kentucky if such law were observed within her bor ders,las they certainly would not have suffered one half of what they suffer at present. Fxposed to rebel invasions on one side, and fettered by martial law on the other, that State is truly unfor tunate. The liberty of the press which is preserved both North and South, is here placed under severe restrictions, thus it is that Kentucky in place of gaining by its neutrality, has lost its most essential and precious pledge of freedom and Republican right. Add to thisothat vast numbersof Union families from that State are now daily leaving their dear homes to settle north of the Ohio river, owing . .to the unsettled con dition of affdrs in that State, and then say how long do you think that Ken• tucky will maintain such vain neutral ity. GARIBALDI having opportunely found out that the air of England was not ben eficial to his health, has most wisely left that country, and is now at the head of 15,000 volunteers, who have their head quarters at Palermo, Sicily. It is stated that with thilforce.he intends marching on Rome, to free it from what he calls clerical despotism, and restore it to the Irkited Italian-Kingdom, ,under Victor Emanuel, of Sardinia. Garibaldi is in, principle a Reptiblican,, 04 has never sincerely agreed with the latter soy -ereign in politidel opinions, and it will ` ,. .hoediftleitit to determine Witt they, will satlie this matter. If the .French mean th-delfend Rome, we may expect serious aewdfronitliii tntrt of the continent.

A SINot•t.AR CoxrEsr.—Two gentle men of high birth, the one a Spaniard and the other a German, having ren• dered Maximilian 11. many services, they each, for recompense, demanded his natural daughter, Helena, in mar riage. The Prince, who entertained equal respect for them both could not give any preference, and after much de lay, told them that from claims they both had to his attention and regard, he could not give his assent for either to marry his (laughter, and they must de cide it by their own prowess and ad dress; but as he did not wish to risk the loss of either or both by suffering them to fight with offensive weapons, he had ordered a large bag to be brought, and he who was successful enough to put his rival into it, should obtain his daugl ter. This strange combat between two gentlemen was in the presence of the whole imperial court, and lasted half an hour. At length the Spaniard yielded to the German, Andre Ethnarp, the Baron of Tetherd, who, when he had got his adversary into the bag, took him on his back, and placed him at the Em peror's feet, and on the following day married ibe beautiful Helena. A MEETTNii of the Assoeiatien of Dis contented Wives was held recently in Chicago, at which the following pream ble and resolutions were adopted :- Whereas, Our husbands have found it impossible to transact their legitimate business in daylight, and have been driven to the necessity of having and maintaining a "Second Board," the ses sions of which sometimes continue from, nightfall until daylight in the morning ; therefore, /?evotyrd That vt e sympathize deeply with our husbands in their misfortunes ; that after mature deliberation we have arrived at the conclusion that it is im possible for us to transact our legitimate business in daylight, such as shopping, hearing the latest gossip, eto, and Resolved, That we form a Second Board also. The members of the Second Board (male class) will observe by the above resolutions that the ladies are taking ac• tive measures to keep pace with Ibis progressive age. A Second Board of the ladies is of the utmost importance, and' will doubtless be productive of as much good as the one which has its sessions in the saloon of the Sherman House.

This was a se rious difficulty, faster mills than these should have been invented in order to meet the exigencies of our Administra tion, and none but a Copperhead would ' think that three or four million dollars per diem would be sufficient to defray the expenses of our great nation... T o. the new Secretary of the Treasury was obliged to negotiate a loan with the New York bankers, and we are happy to say that he succeeded beyond expect= - ation, so that fifty million of dollars . were obtained without much diffienityl .

Every time a sick person is purged by this vege table remedy; he has less vitiated humors and more life and vigor, as any one can prove by taking a single dose. Persbns of spare habits gain flesh and strength while using them. Every time we rest a few days or weeks from the pur gation, we make new fluids from our food, which replace the unsound ones that the Pills have caused to be evacuated. Each time we repeat this process, we expel fe,rther quantities of impurities, which are again replaced by fluids , less end less impure, so that in a short time, by continuing this treatment,' we bring back the whole mass of fluids or htimors to that state of purity /which constitutes health, for Bran dreth's Pills only take away humors which: are unsound Sold by THOMAS REDPATH, Pittsburgh, and by all respectable dealers in medicines.
