GE1T. LOGAN Qlf VALLAITDIGHAM.
On our first page to day, will be found a
brief speech made by Gen. John A. Logan, a
well Known Illinois Democrat, at Cairo a few
days since, In which be gives his opinion of
Vallandigham and the copperhead tribe gen
erally. Gen. Lognn, it will be remembered,
was strongly opposed to coercion. After the
attack neon Sumter, and when there was a
hope that the difficulties might bo settled by
compromise be went to Richmond to talk to
the leading politicians there on the subject
He was told that if the Administration would
give them a sheet of white paper, and' allow
them to make their own terms they would not
accept the offer short of a dissolution of the U
Dioo. Logan then made up his mind that the
Union could only be saved by war ; he aban
doned his anti- CDerciou ideas, came borne and
girded' on the sword, lie has since been serv
ing his country in the army. The speech is
worthy a careful perusal by all men who have
the interests of their country at heart
KENTUCKY ALL EIGHT.
' The State of Kentucky has pronounced her
verdict in tones so emphatic as to be unmista
kable, on the war and its concomitant issue.
Copperhead journals all over the North were
fond of classifying the Union candidates in
Kentucky as Republicans, and the rebel and
copperhead candidates as Democrats. But
Union or Republican, they have swept the
field, and the leagued minions of rebellion are
scattered to the four winds. Bramlette, the
Union candidate,- is elected Governor by
twenty thousand majority, in a State which
scorns to follow in the wake of the New York
copperheads. ' In the Ashland district Mr.
Crittenden is succeeded by Brutus J. Clay.
We presume that in alt the other districts,
except that south of the Cumberland river.
which baa been ocenpied by the rebel army,
the result must be siniolar.
' CHICKENS COME HOME.
Mr O. L. Vallandigham, as Chairman of
thtr Committee on Resolves at a Democratic
meeting at Dayton, Ohio, Dec. 10, 1817 re
ported as follows :
Resolved, That whatever opinions -might
bue been entertained of the origin, necessity
or justice by the Tories of the Revolutionary
War, by the Federalists-ot the late war witbEn
gland, or by the Whigs and Abolitionists, of
the present war with Mexico, the fact of their
country's being engaged in such war ought to
nave been sufficient for them, and to have
precluded debate on that subject till a sue
cessful termination of the war ; and that in
the mean time, the patriot could have experi
euced no difficulty in' recognizing his place
. on the side of - bis country, and could uever
have been induced to yield either physical or
moral "aid to the enemy."
RENOMINATION OF GOV. CUHTIN-
By reference to the proceedings of the U
nion State Convention, which assembled at
Pittsburg on Wednesday, August 5th, and pub
. lished in another column, it will be seen that
. Gov. Curtis has been renominated, as the can-
. didate of the Uaioo party for Governor of
. Pennsylvania. . He received 95 votes out o
.131 on the first ballot, which plainly indicates
the high estimation in which be is beld
. throughout the State. His triumphant norai
... nation is a sure precursor of bis triumphant
election on the second Tuesday of Oct. next.
Right asd Bravely Proposed. Major Pe
ter A. Johns, the Union candidate for Sena-
' tor in the Fayette district, and G. W. K. Mi
nor, the Union candidate for Assembly in
'Fayette county, bave challenged John Latta
and T. B. Searigllt, the copperhead candidates
respectively, for the same positions, to meet
them oo the etcmp, to discuss the leading
questions makicg up the political issues of
the times. The American Standard, the or
gan of the Union men of Fayette county, isot
the opinion that the challenge will not be ac
- cepted.
- - - COUNTY CONTENTION.
In another portion of to days Journal will be
found a call for a County Convention to nom
inate a county ticket. The coming election
is an important bne, and hence it is necessary
that we have a good ticket in the field. Un
'" dor onr rules all persons who act with as in
favor of crushing out the rebellion have a
right to participate in making the noraina-
tiozs. We hope, therefore, that we shall bave
"' a good tnrn out on the 27th.

-THE DRAFT IN COURT.
The copperheads do not appear to have
been killed off by the defeafof their friends
at Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Port Hudson.
On Friday a week, a bill i'b equity was filed
in the Supreme Court, with a view'to test the
constitutionality of the conscription act. The
complainant, in the present case, lias not re
ceived notice of his being dratted ; but anoth
er bill is being drawn, in which the complaiu
ant has received the required notice. The
present bill is filed by Wm. Francis Nichols,
a citizen of the United States and of the State
of. Pennsylvania and residing in the Third
Ward of the city of Philadelphia, of the age
Of 25, as well as lor other citizens or Pennsyl
vania who may become parties hereto, against
William . Lehman, N. H. ' Marselis, Cbat.
Murphy and Ebenezer Scanlan. '
The bill complains that the "rights" of the
plaintiff are being infringed under the opera
tion ol the conscription law, and it is ingeni
ously drawn up so as to damage the govern
ment and cripple the army as much as possi
ble. Messrs. Chafes Ingersoll, George M.
Wharton, and Geo. XV. Biddle appear for the
plaintiff. No time has been fixed for the ar
gument. '
The decision of the Court will avail noth
ing in a legal point of view, although it may
have considerable moral weight. Chief Jus
tice Taney, with tbo entire Supremo Court of
the United States to back him, decided in the
case of Booth, in Wisconsin, that decision! of
State Courts are null and void when they
come in conflict with the United States. The
case of Mr. Nichols will consequently amount
to nothing so far as the constitutionality
of the law was concerned, and the only ob
ject in raising the issue seems to be a desire
to embarrass the Government and create dis
satisfaction. -
GEN. FREMONT IS MISSOURI.
The following passage concerning Gen.
Fremont's campaign in Missouri is Irom the
Rebel Col. Estvan'a -'War Pictures from the
South," rectuitly published in Richmond ;
"Meantime Generals Sige! and Fremont
concentrated their troops at Springfield, with
the intention of putting an end to V.a wir in
Missouri. Sigel having proceeded thence
with the advance guard to Wilson's Creek,
General Price ordered our troops to retire on
the appearance of the enemy ; but whilst a-
bout to carry out this order our rear was at
tacxed by Fremont's body guard, under the
command of Major Zignny, formerly in the
Hungarian service, doing us a good deal of
damage, and compelling us to accelerate our
retreat. On reaching PineviIIe General Price
made arrangements to await General Fremont's
attack, and then to leave Missouri without
once more trying the chances of a battle. He
well knew how to inspire his men with confi
dence in bis plans. And now that General
Fremont bad caught us, as it were, in a net,
what saved us f .V battle ? No ; the Govern
ment at Washiugton at this juncture depri
ved Fremont of his command. This caused
a complete change in the enemy's plans, and
allowed onr General full scope to alter their
position. The Federal army was now compell
ed to beat a retreat, abandoning the rich
district of Springfield to Gen. Price. The
latter at once took possession of it and set
tled Himself down comfortably for a time in
the position abandoned by the enemy."
THE EFFECT OF THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION.
The following is an extract from a letter
received by a Georgian, now a resident of
Boston, from a fellow Georgian, a resident of
New York, July 22, 1863.
"The exodus from the South, you once pre
dicted, has fairly set in. Every day almost
some" new lace drops in. 1 hey generally
come from the upper part of Georgia, aud
seem glad to get here. 1 know of six gentle
men IO are here from ou place. One ol
them snys the Emancipation Proclamation of
Mr. Lincoln struck Jeff. Davis the hardest
blow be has received. He savs it has caused
a large reduction in the Southern army by
desertion, more so thau the people of the
JNortU nave any - laea ot. He says the poor
white people are determined to tiht tor the
negroes no longer. They have no inter J8t in
them, and look upon the war as one brought on
by demagogues and slaveholders, to ride over
the rights of the pocr white people. Ho says he
baa heard repeatedly the soldiers say openly,
tuey would not any longer tight for the d d
niggers and masters. . 1 he upper part of Geor
gia his but few slaves, anyhow, and I sup
pose the people there think more of their own
comfort, and less of the rights of slave-owners,
than in the low couutry. I was surprised,
however, to hear fronAhia old resident, and
one who is a close observer of. events, tht the
proclamation tended to divide the people ol
the South rat be r thau unite tbem. 1 he etiect,
doubtless, was different on the seaboard, ac
cording to information Irom as competent
judges there, but Cherokee Georgia, like Teu-
nessee, has always been for the Union, and
now grows more and more so. as they sutler
from Jeff. Divis despotism. This is the cheer
ing sign. The pound sterling was worth $45
in currency gold, $1 for $8."
'.Now, li our neighbors wish to avoid very
serious trouble" it they would b-ve the
Maws fully earned into effect in Clearfield,'
as welt as everywhere else, all they have to
do is to compel their Jacobin leaders at Wal
ington to return to a faithful administration
of the Government, in obedience to the Con
stitution an the laws made in pursuance
thereof. Nothing more will be required. The
ranks of the Uuiou army will be filled to over
flowing, heartless Conscription-law fix
ing a nigger and a white man at the same
price really degrading a man became he is
too poor to raise $300 will be necessary.
Clearfield JiepuOliean, Jiugutt attt.
Here then, we bave the admission of the
editors of the Copperhead organ that there
will be "very serious trouble" : in Clearfield
unless tr "compel" the authorities at Wash
ington to adopt other means in suppressing
the great Southern Rebellion, than the "heart
less conscription law," -"Emancipation Proc
lamation," etc' Well, "from the abundance
of tbe heart tbe mouth speaketb, and hence,
we infer, that tbe above extract contains tbe
sincere sentiments of our neighbors. . Surely
it must be gratifying to their "Brother Jeff."
to know that be has such faithful friends,
even bere in Clearfield.

Mr. McVeigh, Chairman of the Committee
on Resolutions, presented the following report
Tbe loyal men of Pennsylvania, in Conven
tion assembled, disclaiming all partizauship.
and knowing no cause but that of the country
declare for themselves aud their constituents,
1st. Their inflexible purpose to maintain
bv every necessary etlort, service and sacri
fice, tbe National Union, as the first, tbe high
est, the n-ost solemn and the most overshad
owing of all political duties.
2d. That the rebellion which threatens the
existence of the Uniou was without cause,was
conceived in wickedness, organized in perju
ry, iind developed by reckless violence, is
stained with every crime, and detestable in
means, and .internal in purpose, must be sup
pressed by the people of tbe United States, at
the destruction ot whose liberties and the
overthrow of whole tree institutions it is im
piously aimed.
3d. That in the mrroentous contest now wa
ging there are, and can be but two parties, viz :
tbe one which nrmly sustains the constituted
authorities of tbe nation in enforcing all the
laws thereof, and In protecting the principles
upon which tbe government rests, and is, there
fore, at once the party of law, of liberty, arid
of patriotism; tbe other which cripples the
constituted authorities of the nation in enfor
cing the laws, securing the safety and preserv
ing tbe lite or the nation, and is, therefore,
the parent oi mobs, the enemy of order and a
pailicipant of treason, a class 'whose deiesti-
ble practices not only give "aid and comfort"
to the common enemy, but as confessed in
Richmond, light up these days of rebel dark
ness aud disaster, and actually stimulate them
to renewed and desperate efforts to recruit
their armies, and to whom is this day justly
chargeable for whatever of vitality the rebellion
possesses, and whatever of calamity or afflic
tion the further protraction of the contest may
involve. But for Northern sympatbizets.and
the hopes their treasonable existance inspired,
tbe rebellion would have sunk under the stag
gering blows dealt it at G-ttysburg, Vicks
burg ana fort Hudson.
4th. lhat wholly without sympathy for tbe
men wno nav made -this war against a free
Republican Government, or for tbe system of
human bondage, in whose interest it was in
stigated, or tbe cause of despotic principles to
which it is now devoted, this Convention de
clares all engaged therein, while so engaged,
to be worthy only of our patriotic hate; and
in like spirit we denounce as doubly recreant
and base those residents of the loyal States
who tolerate this treason, would affiliate with
armed traitors, and again surrender our gov
ernment and liberties to their keeping.
5th. That Abraham Lincoln, the President
ot tbe United States, by his discharge of his
most onerous duties in these dark days of civ
il war has won for himself the affections and
regard of the American people, and always
bearing himseli clear in bis high office, has
maintained atbe integrity ot the Union, and
kept our honor untarnished throughout tbe
world, and to him and his administration, it
principles and its policy, we give oar hearty
approval, and pledge an earneat and enthusi
astic support. .........
6th. That we tender, to tbe gallant sons of
Pennsylvania now in the armies aud navies of
tbe reiyjblic, the thanks of a grateful people
for tuerr unselfish and heroic valor; that we
mourn fur those who bave sealed in their blood
their devotion to their country, and will cher
ish their memories tenderly and proudly ;
while to tbe glorious survivors we give tbe as
surance that tbe last " dollar and tbe last life
shall be given to reinforce tbem nntil tbe old
flag floats in final victory'. '-" '
7th. . Resolved-, That Governor Curtin, by
tbe effective support be bas given the Fede
ral Government in tbe prosecution of tbe war,
and bis vigilant care for our soldiers alike in
the field, tbe camp" and tbe hospital, has giv
en Pennsylvania a proud pre-eminence among
tbe loyal States, and himself, to the thauksot
all her loyal citizens, and in placing him a
gain in nomination, we but give expression
to tbe spontaneous wishes of the Common
wealth he has served so well, to present, for
their suffrages, a patriotic statesman, who is
alike the frieud of the soldier aud the favor
ite of the people.
oths Resolved, That the amendments propo
sed to the Constitution, in giving our soldiers
in the beld the riebt of suffrage, merits our
hearty approval, and will receive our united
support, and that we recommend tbe conven
tions of loyal men throughout the State, to
pledge all candidates for the Legislature to
vote for it.
9th. Resolved, That we hereby declare our
unalterable attachment to the doctrines of the
fathers of tbe Republic, as enunciated in the
declaration by President Monroe, that there
shall be no interference by a European or for
eign power, with Goverumeutal afiairs upon
this continent. : -
lOth Resolved, That, in - Hon. Daniel Ag
new, we present an accomplished jurist, a
pure patriot, aud a loyal citizen. He will a-
dorn the highest judicial tribunal of the Com
monwealth, ' and give additional security to
the rights of person and property. -
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
Mr. Heichhold. of Jefferson, offered the fol
lowing, which was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the bold and determined
stand taken by the Administration, in summa
rily arresting persons found to be guilty or
traitorous practices, merits our hearty com
mendation, and that in performing this part
of its military duties, were necessary for the
public safety, we pledge it our hearty co op
eration. At 104 o'clock, the Convention adjourned
sine die.

Although not disposed to favor or recommend
Patent Medicines in general, through distrust f
their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no
sufficient reasons why a man may not testify io
the benefits he believes himself to bave received
from any simple preparation in the hope that he
inny thus contribute to the benefit of others.
1 do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
laud's (ierman Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced -gainst
them for many years, under the impres
sion that they were chiolly an alcoholic mixture.
I am indebtvd to my friend Robert Hioeinaker,
Esq , for the removal of this prejudice by proper
tests, and for encouragement to try them, when
suffering from great and long continued debilitt.
lhe use of three battles of these Bitters, at the
beginning of the present year, was followod by
evident relief, and restoration to a degree of bod
ily and menUl vigor which I had not felt far six
months before, and had almost despaired of r
gaining. I therefore thank God and my friend
for directing me to tbe ue of them.

ATTENTION, SOLDIERS !
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We eall the attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that -HooFLksn's
German Bitters" will cure nine tenths of tbe dis
eases induced by exposures and privations inci
dent to camp life. In the lists, published almost
daily in the newspapers, on the arrival of tho
sick, it will be noticed that a very large propor
tion are suffering from debility. Every cae ff
that kind can be readily cured by HooQand'sGer
ni in loiters. Diseases resulting from disuruVr
of the digestive organs are speedily removed. VV
have no hesitation in stating that, if these Fitter
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives tuight be saved thai otherwise will be Ni.Ht.

There is no mistake in this. It is vouched for

tbe lungs, and was for seventy-two day in the
hospital. This was followed by great "debility,
heightened by an attack of dysentery. I wastbeu
removed from tbe White House, and sent to this
city on board tha Steamer '-State of Maine, "frjm
which I landed on the 2Slh of June. Since that
time I have been about as low as any one could
be and still retains spark of vitality. For a
week or more I was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, and if I did force a morsel down, it w'm
immediately thrown up again.
I could nit even keep a glass of water on mv
J stomach. Life could not last under these circum

had been working faithfully, though unsucpe
