Mootlug of Coal Consusisers.—A public
latetPitg waa held on Woolley aftenioon of the'
manufacturers who require a large amount of
coal to carry on business, at the Board of Trade
Rooma,to take action in regard to the high price
which coal has reached in consequence of the
coal miners strike. A committee of resolutions
having been formed, they reported the following,
w . hich were unanimously adopted :
gisehtied, yie.w of the exorbitant demhnd of
the abet lattice, we feet:tat:mend that It be not ac
ceilettfo; and that all consumers of coal, whether
arriiiituittraitut erg who own part or the whole of
ruirsitotritrorks, or who do not, be requested to
Join and co-operate with the coal dealers in re
the enormous demand now made for alin
litatived That we; as manufacturers and coal
dealers, after an Interchange of views on the
suqject Of the late exorbitant demand of the nil
nere,jtifik'the t Lmehis arrived When we should
endeavor to cheekrhis outabhustion on the part
of the diggers to rti. our business and the In

Important interests of the community,and above

socde .15y, exorbitantly raising the price of
Ra 014 4 That we bind ourselves to use all
laudebleeirorts to keep the price of coal below
ten cents per bushel, and recommend that our
matiukantortes,.and large consumers of the ar
ticle, meet at an - early day and consider the pro
priety of tdoppthg their works until that object
is accomplished.
gesolved, That Ave ask all coal dealers, whether
misinljeri.of the Llol'Exchange or ot, to co-o
erate with this mee a ting, and resist n th d emand now made for over five cents per bushel.
The meeting then adjourned to meet yesterday
at II o'clock a. m. At the appointed time busi
ness was resumed with more than interest.
The attendance Was not very large, but they all
seemed, esfrous of resisting the extortionate de
mands of the coal diggers. After mature delft.
eration the following resolutions were read and
unanimously adopted :
Rewired, That a committee of two be appoint
ed to watt on the o alayors of the two cities, and
request them ttifittil.a.meet log of the citizens to
get their endgment.of the measures now be

with a view of ascertaining *Lich are working
and whiehoire not, and to riltport at the next
meeting: ..
After adopting the above• resolutions, and
transacting some more business ot.minor ila
poitanoe, py; meeting adjourned.
Judgistg from the present state of things, it
seerla tkrit the mining companies are determined
to make a stout resistance; and the diggers also
are making arrangements to force the mining
companies to comply with their demands. It is
difficult , to determine when this affair will end.
Home isams,thitt when the princes quarrel, the
people sufferi in place of princes and comman
ders of tirades, aubstitute coal diggers and coal
mining companies, and we will be found in the
came fix. Prices of every commodity have
been dmibled and trebled on account of their
scarcity, caused by army consumption, but we
have -also to reader coal dear, of which nature'
s td-uw-so abundant.
The Impending Draft.—Men are now be
ing recruited to complete the quota of this city
and County as fast as they can be examined. No
more could be procured if the draft had occur
red, or were to occur to-morrow. The surgeons
are actively engaged during the day in making
their examinations, and it seems that more men
could be mustered in, if more could be examined.
The class which now passes examination is said
to be • unusually good...both in character and
physique. They all appear strong, hearty men,
capable of endurance and of withstanding the
fatigues of 'marching, and the trials of camp
life as well as the enemy's batteries without
funching. In fact, we could not raise a finer
body of men to represent Allegheny county, if
we could make a selection of the beat. All boys
are now excluded, and none but full grown
mert..arenow admitted to the honor of bearing
out staudeird to the' field. This is certainly a
great improvement, and will certainly be felt in
the army, as in out opini ut none but men, and
strong men at that, are capable of following the
career of arms for any length of time. Not
withstanding thir, we are informed that the I
aggregate receipts into the army have surpassed
our most sanguine expectations. The city quo , .
to la by this time nearly 8/led, and if volun.
teeilAgiti itulediyigorously forward•until the
fifth of September, with the same success which
attends us now, either, we will have no draft
whatafiever,..mr the..tOtiii requisition will be ink:
small that it will be hardly felt. Every one
who exerts any influence should be stimulated
to perform his uttermost, and every one should
subearibelo_the bounty fund, as the chief Mel
solty,ut preseni consists In the deficiency of the
necessary funds to pay volunteers. Thus far
we illio - emartaged to pay all volunteers by is
suing bands or by the private contributions of
thg citizens. If those who have heretofore re
lied upon the generosity of their neighbors to
get out of the present difficulties, would sub
scribe, no doubt we might be in a position to
answer all claims during the short time which
is now remaining.
Important if True.—The Harrisbur gh Tel
egraph, of Monday, contains the following,
wawa we give, although we do not vouch for its
ACcaracp, The order would certainly be very
interesting, and would be hailed wtth a shout of
enthusiasm and delight, by many who think
themselves mita in rather a difficult situation:
"It is understood to-day that after mature re
flection Provost Maral General Fry has con
eluded to reverse a former deoiaion Sn relation
to.the 0600. commutation paid by parties who
were drafted during the last conscription. The
decision shortly to be promulgated will exempt
all those who paid the commutation of three
hundred dollars for three yews. This hi an im
port:eh. decision, alike just in its charaoter and
influential In its-tendencies."
Ratak/Ging Fromm—The loath regiment

who 'are returning to the bosoms of their fami
lies after having faced the dangers of war du
ring the space of three years. The regiment
has seen greatly reduced In numbers since its
departure for the field, and at present hardly
numbers three hundred man all told.
Deserter Caught.—A young man named
Charlet! Smith enlisted a short time ago, with
the apparent intention of going to the front
with the first necessity. But having received
hislonnty, he took French leave from Oamp
Reynolds, and was not heard.of Until yesterday
mnrnlng, when he was caught in Allegheny by

taking a final leave from his native district, but

The Secretary's. order in ,reference to skilled

The Draft—blrat Ward, Allegheny.—
By the following resolutions passed at a meet
ring of the citizens of the Waid held last evening,
It will be seen that those who are endeavoring
to fill the quota of the Ward and relieve it ofshe
draft, are determined that that class among
nem, who never de anything in the way of aid
ing to raise Bounty Funds, shell be left to take
care of themselves It appears that they atilt
require quite a numb°, bi men to filltheir quota,
and that they intend to recruit the full num
ber, but hereafter withold the certificates of
credit, and thus let a draft take place for the
number still deficient. This we think will have
a tendency to bring shirkers to their senses,
and is as it should be: The following are the
resolutions of the meeting :
Resolved, That hereafter no recruits be credit
ed to the Want by the recruiting rointnliter,
that the certificates of credit be withheld, and
that we allow a draft to take place for the bol
once of our quota Then should any man be
drafted who has contributed his proportionate
share to the Bounty Fund, he shall be credited
with one of such recruits, but should a hon.
subscriber be drafted he shall be left to take
care of himself.
Resolved, That at the meeing to be held to
morrow evening the names of all the enrolled
men In the Ward be read, together with the
amounts they have severally subscribed to the
Bounty Fund.
&solved, That any en lied man have the
privilege during Wedneatielref making his sub
scnption to the Bounty Fund, before the list of
enrolled men be read.
PhotographsA photograph is an article
which must always be of the best quality, other
wise it will be good for nothing. For this reason
the community should never patronize any but
first Maas artists, men who have a long estab
lished popularity, and who arc capable of pro
dtusing an article worthy of their nami. Such a
man is H. L. 11. Dobbs, long known as the most
accomplished and expert artist in tne city, alio,
after several years of piolound study, and tried
experience, is now in position to defy all criti
cism. He has discsivered many thin:44%4th which
other artists are not at all conversant, and th us
it is that by a process only known to himself, lie
imparts that unrivalled finish and touch to his
photographs,without which hisliitenesses would
never attain that exquisite beauty for which
they are so remarkable. We would advise all
our readers who desire a good carte do t ialle or
anything else in that line, to repatr.lunneiliately
to id. L. H. Dobbs, No. 46 St. I...tatt Street.
New Coal Compaziy.—A new and brilliant
coal company has been started in this city for
the purpose of putting into operation the rich
mines situated on the banks of the Mononga
hela river, only a short distance from
burgh. They have started with a large capital,
amounting to the sum of *150,000, Mid are all
confident of realizing a large amount. The sit
uation of the mines is beautiful and arc only a
few yards distant from the banks of the rivet.
They are Bald to be the most promising yet ilia
covered, awl with such energetic men as Win.
Bagaley, U. W. Ricketson, John Watt, Wni.
Phillip■, and Joshua Rhodes, no doubt their
resources will be developed to their utteroonit.
This is a splendid chance for investing caistal,
and we feel confident that the sagiteic.us SpeCU-
Istors of our city will turn the opportunity to
the best advantage. For further iniumnatiou ace

Recruiting Going on Rapidly.
, .
Naw Yana, August , 30.—The World's
Washingtontspecial says: Most encour-.
aging acicdutits.have been received from
-every quarter as to the number of re—
cruit's now being obtained. In Penn
sylvarila about 80,000 men have been
recruited, quite as many in New York,
while New England has furnished 20,-
000, and perhaps when all the returns
are received, the number will be found
to be even greater than this.
The Western States are also doing
very well. For some time past rein—
forcements at the rate of 4,000 per Week
have been going forward to the army of
the Potomac, and for the next two or
three weeks it is expected that 1,000 per
day will be forwarded. Tne average
number of recruits now obtained daily
throughout the country is about 1,300,
and the number will be increased to
3,000 and 2,500 per day before the sth of
September..
At least 150,000 men will have been
raised for the army and navy before the
day named, not counting the credits on
previous calls or those arising from for naval enlistments. Had the . call
been for 800,000 it is thought the men
could easily have been obtained, but the
large call discouraged the people.
On account of these large additions to
the army, efforts will be made to have
the MR postponed in the hope that a
sufficient number of men may be ob—
tained without resort to that objectiona
ble measure.

TEIM MIDDLE D EPATM ENT IN TUE
FIELD, August 29.—The long-looked
toeadvance of our troops at last com
menced yesterday morning, at four
o'clock. Our cavalry started out and
commenced driving the enemy's rear
guards. At five o'clock the infantry
broke camp, and at half past seven had
tak( n their position in line of march,
which was in three paiallel columns.
Wo had not proceeded far when we
became satisfied that the main force of
the enemy..llml retreated from our im
mediate front, and retired to some posi
tion up the valley. A teconnoissance
made in front of Genera] Crook's lines,
on the left of our position, yesterday,
developed the facttlint the main force of
the enemy had left our immediate front,
but in what direction it had moved, we
had not reliable infarmation; and even
up to the time of writing this dispatch,
the whereabouts of Early's main force is
mere speculation.
Ildtvemputa, however, are at present
nn niot which will throw some light on
this subject. Oar cavalry had some
hen% y skirmish n 4 sicrday, in the vi
cini'v of Charleston, '‘.% ith a portion of
the enemy's rear guard, in which two
officers of the Ist U. S. cavalry were
killed. We captured some twenty pris
oners, who state that tilt main force of
the enemy moved off three days ago,
and went in the direction of binning
burg. The statements of prisoners have
to be taken with a ereutdeal of caution.

The Great Democratic Nationa
Convention
Speech of Governor Seymour
Special to the. Post
SECOND DAY-TUESDAY
CurcAoo, !Aug. 30.—The Convention
met this morning with its customary
good feeling,and overwhelming mass of
outsiders. Horatio Seymour is perma

in his opening address.
The platform will be satisfactory to all

are talked of for Vice Presidents.
The following is the substance of the
debated plank of the platform, which
will certainly be adopted:
"We have had nearly roar years of
war, without any encouraging 'vaults;
and it is manifestly the will of the
merican people, that there should be
ssation of hostilities, and a Convert.
[ion of the States with a view of re-os•
Wishing the Union on the basis of the
_ . .
constitution."
Cmcnoo, August 90 - -The proceed—

On taking the chair, Governor Sey.
mour spoke as follows: Gentleman of
the Convention, I cannot foretaste the
resolutions and actions of this conven
tion,.but I can say that every member
of it - loves the Union, desires peace, and
will uphold constitutional freedom.
The resolutions and action of this Con
vention are of the utmost importance.
There are reasons why the Democratic
party should be restored to power and
they are great reasons. The Democrat.
ic party will restore;the Union, because
it longs forits restoration, it will bring,
peace, because it peace; it will
bring back liberty to our land, because
it loves liberty; it will put down des
potism, because it' hates the tyranny
which now degrades the American peo
ple.
pour year's fwo a convention met in
this eity,w c hen our cotmtry. was peace
ful, -prosperous and united. Its dele
gates did not mean to destroy our Gov-

of our land. They thought they migh t
„
safely indulgeAloir passion, and they
concluded to do tic. They woull
not heed the warnings of our-fathers,
and they did not consider that ;meddling
begets strife. Their peaking have
wrought out their natural results. They
were impelled to spurn all measures of
compromise. Step by step they have
marched on to results which, at the
onset, they would have shrunk with hor :
ror from, and even now, when war has
desolated our land, has laid its heavy
burthen upon labor, and when bank
ruptcy and ruin overhang us, they will
not have the Union restored eXcept on
conditions unknown to the Constitution.
They will not let the shedding of blood'
cease, even for a little time, .to see if
Christian charity or the wisdom of
statesmanship may not work out a meth
od to save the country.
Nay, more than this, they will not
listen to a propottal for peace which
does not offer that which this Govern
ment has do right to ask. This Admin
istration cannot now have this Union if
it wars on as it has. By its proclama
tions, by vindictive legislation,, and by
displays of hate and passion,' it has
placed obstacles in its own pathway
which it cannot overcome. -0
It has hampered its own freedo of
action by unconstitutional acts. 'lt Art
be that the failure of its policy is due to
the want of courage and devotion on the
part of our armies. Never. in the his
tory of the world have soldiers given :up
their lives more freely than have - those
of tide armies which have battled , for
the flag of our Union in Southern States.
The world will say that they have done
all that arms can do, and had We sc.=
cured the finite of their victories,' to day
there would have been peace in our
land. But while our soldiers have
struggled to carry our banners south
ward to the Gulf of Mexico, even now,
the Government declares, in the edicts
of a General, that rebellious discontent
has worked Northward to the lakes,
and the guaranteed right of the people
to bear arms has been trampled ' under
foot up to thb very borders of Canada,
so that American servitude is put in bold
contrast with British liberty.
The administration thus declares to
the world that it has no faith in the peo
ple of the States who placed-it in power.
It also admits by such an edict that
these people have no faith in this Ad
ministration, while those in power with
out remorse sacrifice the blood and tress
urn of our people. They will not give
up their passions for the public good.
This Union is not held asunder by mili
tary ambition. If our political troubles
could be referred to the peaceful. arbi
trament of the contending armies on
the field, our Union would he restored,
the rights of the States would be%guar
'intend, the sacredness of home and per
son be again respeqted, and an insulted
judiciary would wain administer the
laws of the land. Let not the rdin of
our country be charged to the soldiers.
It Is not due to their teachings oi, their
fanaticism. In my constant (Atkin! in
terconrse with them, I have never heard
uttered one sentiment of hatred tit the
people of the South. Beyond all i men
they value the blessings of peace; and
the virtues of mercy, of gentleness; and
of charity, while many who stay at
home cry havoc, and demand, that no
mercy shall be shown. The bigotry of
fanatics and the intrigues of plamen
have made the bloody pages of the his
tory of the past three years. It vas a
soldier upon whom our Saviour bestow
ed his only commendation, and When
he hung upon (he cross, when priests
and pharisees mocked his sufferings, a
soldier alone discovered his divinity,
ivhen he heard him pour forth's prayer
for mercy and forgiveness for the au;
thors of his sufferings. The administra
tion cannot save this Union. We can
Mr. Lincoln values many things shore
the Union. We put it first of all. He
thinks a proclamation worth more than
peace. We think the blood of,our' peo
ple more precious than the edicts of the
President. There are no hindrances in
our pathway to union and to poace.
We demand no conditions for the resto
ration of our Union. We are shackled
with n• hates, no prejudices, no pas
sions. We demand for them what we
demand for ourselves—the full recogni.
tion of the rights of the States. We
mean that every star on our natien's
banner shall shine with an equal ihstre
in the coming election. Men must de
cide with which of the two parties Into
which our people are divided they will
act. If they wish for union, they will
act with that party which does the most
and always did love and reverence that
Union. If they wish for peace, they
will act with those who sought to avert
this war, and who now seek to restore
harmony and good will among all bee
tions of our country. If they care for
their righth, of their persons, and the
sacredness of their homes, they will
act with those who have stood up to re
sist arbitrary arrests, despotic legisla
tion and the overthrow of the judiciary.
If upon the other hand, they are willing
to continue the present policy of gov
enament and condition of affairs let them
act with that organization which made
the present condition of the countiy,
and there are many good men who will
be led to do this by their passions and
prejudices, and our land swarms with
placemen who will hold upon poWer
and plunder with deadly grasp, but as
for us we are resolved that the party
who have made the history of our coon_
try since their advent into power seem
like some unnatural and terrible dream
shall be overthrown. Four years ago
it had its birth upon this spot. Let ns
see by our action that it shall die here
where it was born. We desire union
and peace. The administration deny us
union and peace, for they demand cort
ditions and exact a price which they
know Win Proiont the ittirt.“ll4

mean that home rights, and the sacred
ness of the fireside shall be respected by
those in authority, no matter - what polit
ical vi&ttra . may be held ifr ih'ckse who
sit benete_their roof-trees. When the
Democratic party shall have gained pow

cious upon -these subjects:- War f i ltave
forborne , much; because those Who are
now charged with the conduct of the
public all:hire, know but little about- the ,
principles of our governMent. We were
unwilling to present an appearance "tit
factious opposition, but when we; shall'
have gained power, that official who
shall violate one principle of law, one
single right of the humblest individual'
in our land, shall be punished to the 111113
rigors of the law, it matters not if he
sits in the presidential chair or holds a
humbler ()thee under our government.
We have had upon the floor a touching
and significant Proof of the folly of this
Adnitinistiation, which has driven from'
its support thole upon. - whom they chief
ly leaned at the outset of the rebellion,
then their hopes even of their own per
sonal safety were upon the noble men in
the border States who, under circum
stances, the most trying, sacred fainily
relationship and ancient associations to
uphold the flag of our country. Many
of these men are now members of this
Convention, they bear impressed on
their countenances and manifest in their
presence the high and generous Purpose
which animates them, and yet it is Otte,
and great God that it should be true,
they are stung with the sense of injus-
ilea sand gratituae of law, and un
worthy men who have insulted and ruin
ed them and their families, and trampl
es on their rights by vindictive legisla
tion, and through the agency of miser—
able and dishonered subordinates. Gen-
tlemen, Ido trust that our proceedings
here will be greeted by harmony. Ido
earnestly believe that we shall be ani—
mated by the greatness of this occasion,
in ell probability the future destiny of
our country hangs upon our action
Let this consideration inspire us wiphn
spirit of harmony. God of our 'fathers
: us now, lift usup aboTeall personal
iderations, fill us with a just idea of
great responsibilities which 'rest
and give again to our lands its
union, its peace and its liberty. Loud
and enthusiastic cheers greeted Goy.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Oaaventiop,asaemplad at ,4 1416 p
Mr. flutbrie Stated that the Committee
on resolutions had agreed and was now
ready to report. The resolutions were
then read and are as follows :
• Resolred,. That in the future as in the
past, we will adhere with unswevering
fidelity , to the Union under the consti
tution as the only solid foundation for
our strength, security and happiness as
a people, and as a frame work of gov
ernment, equally conducive to the well
fare and prosperity or all the States, both
Northern and Southern. -
Reaolied, That this Convention does
eiplicity declare as the sense of the
American people that after four years of
failure to restore the Union by the ex T
periment of war during which under the
pretence of a military necessity, or war
power higher than the constitution.
The constiution itself has been disregard
ed in every part and public liberty and
private rights alike trodden down and
the material prosperity of the country
essentially impaired. Justice, humanity
liberty and the public welfare dernaricts
that immediate effort be made for a nes•
cation of hostilities, with a few to an ul
timate aouVention of all the States, or
other peaceable means to the end that at
the earliest practicable moment peace
may be restored on the basis of the Fed
eral Union of the States.
Resolved, That the direct interference
of the military authority of the United
States ill the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Del
aware was a shameful violation of the
Constitution, and a repetition of such
acts in the approaching election will be
beid as revolutionary and resisted with
all the means and power under our con-
.0,
Resolved, That the aim and object o;
:he Dembcratic party is to preserve
he Federitl Union and the rights of the
States unimpaired, turd they hereby de
clare that they consider the administra
tive usurpation of extraordinary and
dangerous pewers not granted by the
constitution; the subversion of the civil
by military law in- States not in Insur
rection; the arbitray military arrest, im.
prisonment, trial and sentence of Amer.
lean citizens in States where civil law
exists in full force; the suppression of
the freedom of speech and of the press;
the denial of asylum; the open and
avowed disregard of State rights; the
employmeht of unusal test oaths, and
the interference with and denial of the
right of the people to bear firms as calcu
lated to prevent a restoration of the
.Uuion and ; the perpetuation of the goy
-11
ernment deriving its jus powers from
the consent of the govern
.
Resolved, That the sha Jul disregard
of the administration to its duty in
dore
spect to our fellow-citizens who' w and
long have : been prisoners of- in a
suffering condition,, deserves, everest
reprobation on the score alike of public
and common humanity.
Smoked"' That the sympathy of the
Democrat= party is heartily and ear
nestly extended to the soldiery of our ,
army, who. are one have been in the
field under the flag of our country, and
in the event of our attaining power; by ,
us will receive all care, protection, re
gard and kindness that brave soldiers of ,
the Republic have so nobly earned.
