A Curious Fact
At the lime of the explosion on hoard
the "Great Eastern," a curious fact was
noticed; those who were the most hurt
and who first died seemed the least in
jured when they first appeared above
deck, and seven were able to walk aft
without aslatance. On this point a wri
ter in the London Times Bays:
A man blown up by gunpowder is a
mere figure of raw flesh which seldom
moves after the explosion. Not so 'with
men blown up by steam, who for a
few minutes are able to walk about ap
parently unhurt, though, in fact, mor
tally injured beyond all hone of recovery.
This was so with one or two; as they
emerged from below, walked aft with
that indescribable expression in their
faces only resembling intense astonish
ment; and certain faltering of the gait
and movements like one who walkos in
• his sleep. When not begrimed by th e
smoke or ashes, the peculiar, soft, bright
white brightness of the face, hands or
' breast, told at once that the akin, s though .
unbroken, had, in fact, been boiled by
steam. One man walked along with the
movement and look as I have endeav
ored to describe, and seemed quite un
conscious that the flesh of his thigh
((most prohable . by the coals and ashes of
the furnace) was . burnt in deep holes.

THE POST-PITTSBURGH, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY
?ittpittt# post.
The anxiety manifested by rebel rep
resentatives for a cessation of hostilities,
preparatory to bringing about a perma
nent peace, and the dogged refusal o
Mr. LINCOLN to even give them a hear
ing or receive their propositions, are,just
now giving the Abolition champions of
the Administration a great deal of trou
ble and uneasiness. And no wonder;
their candidate's open avowal to
Messrs. CLAY and HOLCONIII, that no
peace is possible as long as slavery ex
ists, is enough to make them restless re
garding LINCOLN's polftical future. The
effort, therefore, of the Abolition press,
is to prove that CLAY and lioLcomn had
no power to negotiate; and, also, to
show that the SDuthern people will have
no peace. To make out their case, how
ever, our opponents are compelled to
resort to the most glaring absurdities
Their necessities must be pressing in
deed, when they resort to the romance
of , IAC4LTES Oz. Co. to make good their
statements.

humbug Oovernment, he is perfectly welcome,
so far as we are concerned, to the other alterna
tive, if he will base it, es he say. "
This brief paragraph exhibits the
bloody purpose of Abolitionism; its wish
is to exterminate the Southern people,
and all it desires is the flimsiest pretext
for doing so. JEFF. [)Avis, in his letter
to the Governor of North Carolina, a few
days ago, stated that he had three times
endeavored to open ni cotiations with
our Ad ministration to bring about
peace, but his efforts were in vain. Are
we, in view of this and the late attempt
01 CLAyand Hei.coms, to adopt as v i er
itahle, a transparent and silly romance
bearing the impress of falsehood upon
its very face? In order to give the lie
little character, our Abolition ccintempo
raries are willing to admit ItAvis to be
a man of trtitV Mark that; "a perjured
villain" as Abolitionist delighted to
call him, having the Mood of
thousands of victims upon his guilty
soul, is suddenly transformed into a man
of "trutA"—and one, too, who cooly sits
down and tells his inmost thoughts and
aspirations to an impertinent Yankee
adventurer. The exploits of Baron
MI'NUII.4USEN, of GULLIVER, or "the hair
breadth S pes" of SINHAD, Loth by
flood and field, are feasible /1 d highly
probable, compared to this most trans.
parent falsehood. And yet, our Aboli
tion neighbors affect to believe it, and
for what? Simply, as will be seen by
the Gazette's remarks, to give our Ad
ministration a pretext for waging a war
of extermination. Thus, we have
another proof of the bloody purposes of
Abolitionism; it desires no peace, and
so savage has it grown by the smell and
taste of blood, that we very much doubt
whether it would be satisfied even if
the Southern people were to lay down
their arms and give universal freedom
to their slaves
The spirit of Abolitionism is not urg
ing on continued slaughter for the resto
ration of the Union, orf . or the Abolition
of slavery merely; it is for the destruc•
lion of the Southern people, also. CRONI
WLI,I,'S ruffian soldiers in Ireland im

Abolition fanaticism is desirous of visit

have we gone on in three years (*loin a
holy endeavor to save our Union, to
one which is perhaps fast approaching
massacre and extermination; and the
pretext for this spirit of the first born
CAIN is, a naked lie purporting to come
from .Tart*. DAVIS, himself. War for
the Union Abolitionism is fast pervert;
ing into one for extermination, and un
less the spirit which prompts it is rebuk
ed by the people at the approaching elec
tion, it will most assuredly accomplish
its designs. Give this fell spirit tour
more years of power, and we may en
deavor to imagine what it would do, by
what it has already accomplished

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 27, 1564
THE PEACE PROPOSITIONS
UtLfullilled Prophecy.
• -
Governor ANDREW, of Massachusettsc
says the St.
the
Republican was the
tirst:to take the advantage of the third
section of the act of Congress of July
Rh, and War Department general orders
No. 27, relative to the appointment of
State Agents to recruit soldiers (ne
groes) in the revolted States. In 1862,
when STONEWALL JACKSON made such a
panic by his appearance if the Shenan
Joah Valley, Governor ANDREW Was
called upon by secretary STANTON for
fdur regiments to defend the capital ?
then thought to be seriously menaced.
The Governor responded that this was
a "heavy draft" upon Massachusetts
patriotism, but he would see what could
be done. In the same communication
he remarked that if the Administration
would only change its slavery policy,
and go in for emancipation, "the streets
and lanes of Massachusetts would
swarm with willing recruits." The Ad
ministration did change its policy, but
the country never heard of the swarms
of willing recruits. Massachusetts is
now trying to fill its quotas by the en
listments of Southern negroes.
On the Best Mode of Defense
This is a very serious question and
one that should attract our attention at
present above all others. The hest mode
of defending our State and property in
case another raid should be threatened
by the enemy is well worth our con
sideration, and no doubt the people of
Pennsylvania have already learned by
experience the truth of this statement,
nor do they deny that such is the case.
But certain it is that although every
body sees and acknowledges the propri
ety of this measure, no one has as yet
either proposed or enforced its adoption.
The State must be defended, but no one
says how or by what means this is to be
accomplished. It is an undeniable fact
that what the other States have said of
Pennsylvania during the recent inva•
sion, although in a great part incorrect,
yet In many installers we are obliged to
acknowledge that what they maintained
was true, that Pennsylvania should
adopt some means of self-defence and
not to rely on the other States for suc
cor in case of invasion. That the hun
dred days' men were recruited prompt
ly and without great expense is initubit
!Able, but still they were not organized
is season, and the consequence was
that the rebels escaped with nearly all
it plunder. At present we are ex
posed to the renewal of the same scenes
of bloodshed and plunder which charac
terized the Maryland raid, and betore
we will have our men ready to march
the guerrillas will have escaped the dr
served punishment. Such would ter
taiiily be the case if the rebels were to
indulge in their usual raiding propensi
ties, and not only would our property
be endangered but our honor would be
concerned In the matters, that honor
which is as dear to a Pennsylvanian's
heart, as the very life blood which runs
in his veins. The jests and sneers of
the other States would lee renewed, and
we would behold with shame and sor
row painted on our cheeks, the militia
regiments of New York coming to aid
Pennsylvanians, and expeltheir enemies
ruin their State. Can a true, liberal
minded, patriotic citizen think of the re
newal of such scenes as these without a
shudder? And what is the reason of all
these sad consequences? Is it
because the other States can
atford brayer men, or who can :
better sustain the terriers of the battle
field" Let the bloody plains of Getty , i
burg, and the numerous other pleen
le l ;ac reddened with the gore of
brave Pernsylvaniani testily that this is
not the case. Is it because they possess
more energy! We furnished our quota-+
as soon if not sooner than any other
Slate in the Union. What then is the
reason'! It is because that when one
r a id is over, and the rebels have hastily
retre a t e d over the borders ; we relapse
into a stab 0f quiet and security, and,
do not prepare ourselves in the internee
itespsee of time fin a future invasion.
This is the only reasom, and this
why the raids have been renewed si.
often during the war, and no doubt they
will be icnewed over and over again if
We lwrsist in the same state of apathy
and nonchalance. Let us therefore,
do our utmost to avert the impending
danger, let us defend our own lives and
the lives of those who are dear to us,
tend for our country's sake let us devise
some means tee preserve the long estab
li-hrd honor of the Commonwealth
THE August next is the day ap
pointed for our State to determine,
whether the Constitution shall be amen
ded in regard to this State by allowing
soldiers to vote. It is a very serious
matter, and worthy of all our attention,
as from this will probably depend among
other important things, the election of
the future President. It is admitted by
a great many that, whoever the soldiers
will cast their vote for, if they will vote
in a body, he and no other will be the
next President. Their vote is very
strong, and the party which secures the
vote of the army will most probably be
victorious in the next Presidential cam
paign. From the election of the Presi
dent depends the future prosperity and
weltpe of the country, and maybe the
continuation or termination of this war.
As so much may be said to depend on
the determination and decision of our
citizens on the sth of next August, we
are aware that every man of patriotism,
and who feels for the welfare of his
country, will take this matter to heart,
and not pass it over as an ordinary oc
currence. The very knowledge of its
being an amendment of the Constitution
framed by our forefathers for the welfare
of the country, ought to command our
attention. hence we do not doubt that
the people will give it all due considera
tion, and approach the ballot-box with a
decided determination to do what is
right, and vote for what appears most
consonant with reason and justice.
The Rebel Officers Under Fire.
A Hilton Head correspondent of the
New York Herald writes
The rebel Generals and field officers
who arrived here to be placed under
rebel fire, as a retaliatory measure, are
now quartered on the brig Dragoon, un.
der the guns of the Wabash, in Port
Royal harbor. Five houses have been
constructed for them to dwell in, at the
extreme front of Morris Island, at Cum
mings' Point. They have been sent up
there, and the rebel officers will scion be
put in occupancy of them unless General
Jones backs down. The residences will
be judiciously distributed about the
Point, and, in all respects, except the in
convenience occasioned by exploding
shells, the five decadal communities will
be made as comfortable as possible.
They are enjoying themselves very well
for prisoners now. Whist is an occa
sional amusement, and it is intimated
that some of the gentlemen are not ig
norant of poker. They have a plenty of
light and heavy reading, the newspapers,
and all the luxuries they wish to pur
chase of sutlers.
AT a banquet lately given to the offi
cers of the Kearsarge at Paris, a hand
some sum was subscribed to build a
monument to Gowen, the brave gunner
of the Kearsarge, who died from wounds
received during the action with the Ala
bama.

DURING the past week 3,437 emigrant:-
landed at New York, making an aggre
gate since January let of 103,602, agaiust
72,420 in 1803. Among the emigrants
were about a hundred factory girls from
England, whose 4 passage had been paid
by the Lawrence (Mass.) Mill Com
panies, whither the girls Went at once.l
TAE exports from, our great Commer
cial metropolis amount to incredible
surn.,and show the energy of the Amer
ican people. It is stated that last week
the exports reached the fabulous amount
of eight millions of dollars. A great
part of this however, was on account of
re-shipment of articles held in bond that
had not paid duties.
E. N. FULLER editor of the Newark
Evening .Trqi r nal was arrested lately on
two warrants. The first was for inciting
to insurrection, and the second for dis
couraging enlistments, as provided for
by Section 5 of the enrollment act. He
was released on hail, lty U S Commis
sioner Morris, he giving bond in the sum
of $3,000.
TIIE effects of the cotton famine are
still felt in England, though not to that
frightful degree which characterized the
commencement of our civil struggle.
There are still 74,500 destitute persons
in excess of the usual pauperism in the
manufacturing districts. This shows
how much England suffers from this war
and what would have been the terrible
effects if she had €ngaged in a war with
this country previous to our present
TOE Emperor Napoleon has adopted
a system of znaratitne signals, which tt
is expected will become international, at
least it was prepared for that purpose,
and has received the' sanction of the
English Admiralty; having keen the
work of a
,joint eommision of France
and England. Whether it is any bet
ter than our own or not, the advantage
()thriving a uniform system throughout
the commercial world, is too obvious to
need illu.tration
SAD ACcIIYENT.—A party of five young
ladies and three young gentleman, while
out on a sail on Chstauque Lake, on
Tuesday last, discovered that the boat
was rapidly filling and sinking. Only
one of the party was able to swim, and
he after charging the others to remain
in the boat till he could swim ashore,
only AimUt N) rods distant, and get a
boat for their rescue, jumped into the
water. The others sprang after him, in
their terror, and three of the young ladies
were drowned. Their bodies were re
covered the next day.
KENTUCKY and Missouri are both in a
very uncomftrtable state at present, on
account of the prowling hands of guer
rillas, which have banished all quiet and
safety from the two States. Kentneky
is under a continua! alarm, and no otit
is secure for one moment from the ene
my, who are in strong force, and diF
play a daring recklessness, which is wor
thy of better men and a better cause.
In Missouri Thornton is still bolding his
ground, and it will be very difficult to
expel him. However a vigorous effort
on the part of the citizens we hope would
succeed in freeing the country from such
a calamity.
A emnpany has been organized in
New York with r,00,0110 capital and is
now making gno pairs daily of shoe soles
from vskanized rubber They are mount.
eel in a single piece, under a high pres
sure, with separate rivets imbedded in
the solid gum. They are said to wear
lunch longer than leather. This new in
vention, we hope, will perform some
thing towards reducing the present high
prices for shoes. The pikes now have
become so high, that a new pair of shoes
are entirely out of the reach of the poor
turn, so that if this new invention an
swers our expectations, the company
will be universally patronized.
A { Aho from Edward Kirke whose real
Tlllll. is James R. Gilmore was publish
ed in Boston, in which ho says that he
had nothing to do with Col. Jacques'
supposed mission, that Jacques was
simply a companion to him on his visit
to the South, and that the President
knew nothing of his accompanying him.
The gentleman denies all connection
with the N. Tribune, and says that
he does not know how the newspaper
statements in reference to his visit to the
South, originated, nor has he any part
in Greeley's peace negotiations. He
does not however explain the reason of
his visit to rebeldom, and the motive
whi,h prompted him to do so has not as
yet been ascertained by the the public.
AT an , examination of the prisoners,
and deserters from the Confederate army,
it isreported to have been ascertained that
a great many in the South would wil
lingly return to the Union, were it not
for fear of being forced into the North
ern service. Some of the prisoners stated
that it wasa matter of doubt among their
men whether this statement were true
or not, and that this was a matter of fre
quent discussion. If the Confederates
are obliged to recort to such measures as
these are, in order to keep their pickets
from taking French leave at every op
portunity which presents itself, they
must certainly have degenerated im
mensely from the enthusiasm they dis
played at the commencement of hostili
ties.
BY reports from Washington we are
informed that the situation of affairs is
such that the privateer Semmes will pro
bably be returned, and if he will not be
surrendered, then our government will
make a formal demand on thc English
government for his delivery. The truth
is that this formal demand should have
been issued long since, and the Republi
can press in place of doing its utmost to
prove that Semmes is not our prisoner
by any right whatsoever, should reclaim
their prisoner,and do something towards
the welfare of their country. Every man
who is capable of being taught by ex
' perience knows full well that the Priva
teer Semmes can not possibly remain
quiet for any length of time, but by some
means will put his threats in execution,
and renew his plunderingcareer,
IT appears that the Mormons are suc•
ceeding in making some conversions to
their creed in England and Scandina
via. Another large party of Mormon
emigrants, numbering about eight hun
dred and fifty, and occupying, together
with their personal effects, twenty-four
cars, arrived yesterday in Chicago by
the Michigan Central Railroad. They
are composed of Germans, English,
French, Swiss and Danes, with a great
preponderance of English, however,
over the others, being a.proportion pi
three to one. They are nearly all of
them young, neatly but plainly clad,
and are, on the whole, very intelligent
in appearance. The company sailed
from Plymouth, England, under the
charge of Elder J. M. Key, and arrived
in New York, after a safe passageof
forty-three days, on Wednesdiy, last.
They will arrive it their destination in
about three months.
