SEBENADE TO JUDGE SHANNOfl-HTS AD- DEESS ON THE OCCASION. Hon. P. C. Shannon, of Pittsburgh, was serenaded, on Monday evening, August 10th, at the Continental Hotel in Philadelphia, by BirgeSeld's Band. A large crowd assembled in the street, and there were large cries for a speech. After the performance of a number ,f patriotic airs Judge Shannon appeared op n the balcony and spoke as follows ; 8PEECH OP JCDOE SHANNON. J feel grateful, citizen of Philadelphia, for the kindness you have bestowed upon me this evening. A western Pennsylvanian,I am not much ac customed to the grace of rhetoric which clus ters around your eastern people. From the western slopes of the Alleghanies I hail you, i and only those men who are loyal in these Times of peril to our country. Applause. I uould not have the plaudits, for any consid eration on earth, ol those persons who, ihilc they have the word Democracy upon their lips, assail and stab the administration of my coun try. Long Applause. 1 b ive read the his tory of my country as carefully as any mod ern Democrat has read it. I am acquainted with the writings of Jefferson and the maxims of J.tcksn. And, with my eyes open and my ears awake, I shall never submit to the teach ings and heresies of a Fcruando Wood, u Val l.imligliam.or a Wm. B.'Keed. Deafening ap plause. j 11 is amiosi nestowinr, Honor upon a person of our own State the worst traitor am. ngst them all to mention the name of the pnssillanimons wretch who hails from Pottsville, Schuylkill county. Derisive laughter and cheers. It is perhaps distaste lul to refer to myself personally. But in or der that this company may know my political status, I crave leave to say that, from the first vote that I gave until the time when our so- called Democratic brethren fired upon our flag at Sumter, I was ever a Democrat of the sir. -xilitest sect, standing up upon all occa sions for the rights of the Southern people, under the American constitution. Applause. J was willing, with every young Whig, and every young American, and every Republican, tost md by the constitutional tights of the Smith, as long as the South fought the battle of the Union inside of the Union, loud cheer ing, peacefully and legitimately. But wheu tliacardirig the precepts of oar revolutionary lathers, and disdaining the maxims of the Constitution, the Democrats of the South uu h rto!i not only to break up the aucient Deni ocr..tic party, but to destroy the very Const i t.iliou and (lie fundamental piinciples of our (lorernoient, it became time for every man -M na! heart and upright conscience no long er to follow the miserable teachings of the Sotithrrn oligarchy, but to assrrt the origin al principles upr.n which Thomas Jefferson inuiidcd the Democratic party. Loud ap plause There is no use in disguising the fact that the modern so-called Democracy, adjuring the tnasims of the founders of their party; have been crawling into the slimy arms of a Nmthern oligarchy. The primrose path of ambition, in modern days, has been tor Dem ocratic leaders to bow their kn. es to the au t.'crats of the Souths Voices That's so ! Witness, for instance, the case of that miser able old man, James Buchanan, of Wheatland, laughter. for whom in the North there was no secret society like that which environed him from the baroidal seats of Virginia and South Carolina. "A favorite son of Pennsyl vania" the son of poor and humble Irish pa rents, fluttered by the aristocracy of the South r:ik headed and lame hearted, aping an ar Wucrary which with all its faults he could never reach laught.r elected by the f'r.est Democracy and the old line Whigs, he lived long enough to betray his country, to nothing of the destruction of a venerable puty to which he never earnestly belongtd. It is said by many a flippant tongue, and many a hrazcM pen, that the abolitionists of the N"r;h hive brought this rebellion upon the i.untry. In the name of all that is veracious in history, I assert without the fear of contra diction, that this cruel war has been brought "pon us by the machinations of Democrats ko called. Voices That's so. What, I sk you, Has the condition of the country af irr the November election ol 1860 ? We had Democratic President and a Democratic Cabinet selected by Democrats. Every hon tst Democrat in the laud expected that the chosen pilot and his selected crew should and steadily and faithfully by the ship of State, am idst whatever tempests might arise -r surges might beat. lie was a Democrat, and his Cabinet were selected from the cbiv 'ry of the southern Democracy. The storm the winds came, and, untrue to his feal. lv to bis party and his country, with bis mis erable Cabinet, he deserted the ship, and ran "'erfoui Up0n the breakers. Groans. He as vrted that secession was wroug ; put yet he ated that ir a sovereign State should choose t0 feed" from the Union, there was no pow er m the Executive no force even in Con greuto coerco tDat geceding State to return - le union it bad deserted. Through the "IC oi member of bis Cabinet, the shins 1 Q&r thea little navy were sect to remote and distant seas ; so that when the conspiracy should culminate, onr gallant tars, renowned upon many an heroic occasion, should not be in place to respond to the ell of their coun try. Through him and his Cabinet the arsenals of the North were stripped of the arms and munitions of war; so that when the conspi racy broke forth at Sumter, the loyalists of the North bad neither implements nor appur tenances of war to assail the rebellion. Groans. We had to wait, almost paralyzed, until guns conld reach us from the Continent or Europe. You know that the union of the sword and the purse is considered essential to successful wr. And what did the Demo cratic Secretary of the Treasury He beg gared the purse of the nation in order to play into the hands of the Democratic conspirators. We were left in the deplorable absence . of army, navy and treasury. And who did this foul and most miserable work Who accomplished it ? Voices, 'The copperheads!" Was any abolitionist then in power, or any opponent of the ancient Democratic party ? We Democrats then had it all our own way. We wete entrusted with the sacred heritage of our fathers ; we wero responsible to men and to angels; and how did we act ? Upon the accursed altar of South ern oligarchy we sacrificed everything that was democratic, everything that was manly ana everything that was honorable. Long continued applause. Tour light fingered leaders may say that the abolitionists began the war. I, as a humble Pennsylvania Dem oerai, assert mat the charge is false. Ap plause. I unhesitatingly assert that this re bellion was begotten in the secret places of the so-called but false Democracy- that it was nurtured by Bnchnnan and his Cabinet, who were the slaves and dupes ot the Yancevs.th Slidells, the D.tvises and the Breckinridges o the South. Applause. I but assert wha the iron pen of history shall record, that there never nas a party so betrayed, nor a country so slaughtered as by the so-called leaders o the modern Democracy What did we do, we young men of the Whig the American, and the Democratic parties To our eternal honor it shall be recorded that we stood fast and firm for all the rights of our Sontlern brethren, so far as acknowledged by the American Constitution. We faltered not We wearied not. From every mountain top oi uie isorth, and from every valley, we de dared our unswerving attachment to the Con stitutlon of our fathers. Immense cheers. . - .ivuu ii.-auiiiiijr, as unrisuan men never stood before, by every principle of the Fugi tire Slave law. So that when Alexander II. Stephens made his speech, in reply to Toombs, of Georgia, he was obliged to confess that nev er was Christian civil law more faithfnllv nn. man was uie f ugitive Slave law by the men of the North. He further admitted that l. 1 J 4 t n . the rebellion had no justification hatever ; that the general Government had never been ' uuiy to tue ijouth ; that none of its statutes bad ever interfered with the fran cuises or the privileges ol the slaveholder. And reluctantly and lingeringly Alexander II Stephens, with bis bead turned back to the glories and brilliant memories of the country with his averted eye upon Mount Vernon and MonticeIIo,slowly and tardily did he leave the clustered records of the greatest republic upon which the sun has ever shown. Long cneering.J No warrior, but a thin, attenuated, intel lectual man. he may be compared to the Sybil of Rome, who offered her volumes to a cor luptedgovernment. When history shall come to correctly record this rebellion, the auguries of Stephens shall stand as an everlasting blot of infamy npon the men who created this re bellion and are carrying it out. I have not time, on an occasion of this sort, to enter into full detail of the history of this most nefarious transaction. The leaders of the modern Democratic party say to me that they alone can restore peace to the country and integrity to the Union. I reply that an other such Democratic administration as the last one would send my country into the jaws of inevitable dissolution. What! restore such another Administration into power ? Think of it. Think of its perfidy, its treason, its corruption, its weakness. Restore to power your Buchanans, and your Fernando Woods, and your Vallandigbams, and your Hugbeses? Give them the reins of power! May Heaven defend us from such a calamity. I have confidence in the masses the honest masses, I mean of the Democratic party, but I have ncne whatever in the miserable preten deis who attempt to teach in the sacred names of Jefferson and Jackson. I should be recre ant to my manhood if I should fail to ac knowledge the heroism and the bravery of the good, honest Democrats who have fought in this war. Many of them have given their lives, martyrs on the field of battle, cheers like the gallant Colonel Samuel W. Black.and the gallant William G. Murray. May God bless their memories, and those ot the brave men of the old party who have fallen in the figbt. Cheers. But there is one cry which echoes from the lips of Andrew Gregg, Cnrtin, vociferous cheering, the father and gnardian of the Pennsylvania soldier renewed cheering there is one cry which comes from tb rery : bosom of Pennsylvania, and that is, ''standby our country, whether it be right or whether it be wrong." It is a Democratic maxim.which rung from the brilliant fields of Mexico, and which, if true then, must be trebly true now. Nine cheers from the crowd for Andy Cnrtin. Let me say to you, in conclusion, fellow citizens, that there is but one course ror loyal men to pursue. There cannot oe, and there must not be, any side issues. We must make this State loyal in'October next, cries "we wi II rit is," and we can only do so by sup porting Andrew G. Cnrtin and Daniel Agnew. This point is inevitable. The man who says he is loyal and refuses to rote this ticket.had better do what is honest, viz: go down and bow bis knee at the shrine cf that miserable rebel Jeff Davis. Applause and laughter. The Judge now retired amid renewed ap plause. Calls were made for other gentlemen present, bnt the speaking terminated here. "HANG THE ABOLITIONISTS " This is one ot the principal specifics, rec ommended by the so-called Democracy, fur saving the country, ending the Rebellion, nd restoriug the Union ! Instead ot ''hanging Jeff" Davis on a sonr-apple tree," these con servative, peace-advocates propose to swing up all the Abolitionists" in the land- And why not? Why should they live? What claims have they npon the humanity of their fellow men ? An "Abolitionist" is such a despica ble creature that no one runs any risk in abu sing him, or threatening to make him "stretch hemp!" He is made responsible for all the tronble that ev-r has, or ever will come upo j ... our ueioveu country. it is true, we neve heard that any one of this unfortunate class were amongst those who assailed Fort Sump ter. We bave yet to learn that any f them have been in "the armed bands of Lee.Pember ton, Bragg, Morgan and oth.-r Rebel leaders VYe have not seen it stated as yet that any "abolitionist" took part in the New Vork Ri ots, or attempted to throw any obstacles in the way of carrying out the conscription act. Bu then they have been known to make speeche in favor of Freedom, and against Rebellion They have been eveu found in the Federa Army, musket in hand, shooting down "our dearly beloved brethren" of the South, and more recently have been aiding the officers to carry out the "draft." paying taxes, and do ing other "offensive" and irritatiug" things n Hat right, then, have they to live ? And as all mutt now be convinced that the only way to save the country is to hang the' "abolition ists," it is high time that all "true meu" set about the work with as little delay as possible ! The Draft and Government Works. It is said that the operation of the conscription is likely to embarrass both the military and naval branches of the government service, by taking skilled laborers from positions where their work is of great value, and putting them in the ranks, whme an ordinary laborer would be as efficient. From Colt's aimory, at Hart ford, one hundred and' eighty men have been drafted. These works are running night and day on government work. From the Spring field armory, and from the thousands employ ed in armories, navy-yards,&c, large numbers must, of course, be taken ; ami it will be dif ficult, if not impossible, to fill their places; and much delay and interruption to work im- peritively necessary to be done must be expe rienced. There is a clause in the Conscrip tion act under which these dratted men might be retained in their places, a::d still be liable to service in the army whenever they should cease to be employed on government work. Gem. IIalleck on the Draft. A Wash ington correspondent of the Timet writes : On the subject of the di aft, I learn that General IIalleck is very emphatic: "Sir, we must either raise two hundred thousand men this Fall for victory and peace, or eight hundred thousaud next Spring to prevent all we have won being wrung from us." Most of the "two years' men" and "nine months men," it should not be forgotten, were placed in the Army T the Potomac; and while those journ als which oppose the draft are blaming the Army of the Potomac for its alleged "inactiv- ty," these facts should be borne in mind, and the proper responsibility should be attached to all who oppose the draft. Morgan and his Contraband. There is an old negro, James Morgan, who was a slave to the guerrilla Morgan's father. At Cincinnati he went to see bis "young mar's:" "The General treated him warmly, shook hands with him, and congratulated him upon bis having his freedom. "Yes, Massa John," broke in Jim, "you tnout hab yourn too, if you hadn't gwine into broke up de Union ; but yon is in.a tight place now, Massa John ; you is in a tight place now !" and Jim swung away at his usual limpiDg gait. The news of the late rebel reverses bad reached England, and its effect was consider ed so favorable for the Union that the rebel loan stock had declined 18 and 20 percent discount, and a perfect panic ensued in that escription of stock. It is not all the world that can pall an hum ble man down, because God will exhalt bim. Nor. is it all the world that can keep a proud man up because God will debase bim. THE DKAFT IK NEW Y0KK. Letter from Governor Seymour Eeply of Presi dent Lincoln. Washington, August 9. Gov. Seymour, under date of August 3d, writes to the Presi dent in relation to the draft in New Vork and Brooklyn. He condemns the provost marshal tor commencing the draft without consultation with the city or State officers, at a time when the militia was absent at the seat of war, and while there were not even soldiers enough in New York to man the fortifications in the harbor. The Governor complains of the unfairness of the enrolment, and thinks that in this lot tery for human life.as he terms it, there should be a strict impartiality. In the rural districts the draft had been executed with justice, and the conscripts accepted their fate without murmuring, and sometimrs joyfully. In the distrctsof New Tork city, however,'with a population much less, the number to be draft ed is in some cases double that in the former. The attack upon the enrolling officers, which subsequently grew into the most destructive riot knowri in the history of the couniry, h pronounces unjustifiable. Speaking further of the riots in New York, he savs the disre gard for law and the disrespect for the judi cial tr bunals produced tlieir natural resul's. Robbery and arson, accompanied by murder ous outrages upon a helpless race, and for the time the very existence of the commercial metropolis of OUT COlinft V U'fltt f hlwjruiiiti1 ft j -. --w t. V II . XV is gratifying that the citizen or New Vork were able without mateiial aid from the State or Union to put down this dangerous insur rection, for at the time the nation had not the means to protect its own arsenals and navy yard. A thousand men could have seized them all, and then used their armaments lor the- destruction of the shipping and the city itself, to say nothing of the vessels which at 'that time were engaged in burning our mer chant ships almost within sight of our coast Ihe Governor also complains that no crcdi has been given to the city for the number of volunteers sent, and the noble exertions of th militia in times of peril. lie, therefore, ask lor a suspension at least of the draft till its constitutionality is tested. The President in reply, under date of Au gust 4, says that he cannot suspend the draft in New Fork, because time is too important He admits the disparity ot the quotas in the different sections, and accounts for it by the fact that so many more persons fit for soldiers are in the city th in in the country, who have too recently arrived from Europe to be incln aed in the census of I860. Still he would not cousider that reason sufficient. He would di rect the draft to proceed.drawing onljr theav erage quota or all the districts. After thus drawing, the city districts shall be carefully re enrolled, and the Governor's agents might witness every step of the process. Due credit will be given for all volunteers. The Presi dent would not object to abiile the decision of ihe Supreme Court. He would be willing to facilitate it, but could not consent to lose time. The Democrats of Iowa met to nominate a Governor, and, not daring either to take up ar democrat or a Copperhead, they tried the Polk game, and nominated a new "un commuted" man, named Fisher. But he "don't bite" he declines, and they are with out a candidate, which is just as well, as the Soldier's vote in Iowa. Confiscation The Mobile jJdvertistr an nounces the sale of '25 confiscated slates, the property of Lydia and Richard . S. Johnson, alien enemies.' Over 1.200 acres of valuable land, 20 bales of cotton, and a large amount of other property of the same parties are also confiscated. So much for confiscation in Dixie. By the great conflagration at Havana no less than $1,500,000 worth of cotton, sugar, and other goods belonging to British blockade run ners, was destroyed. A cavalry raid into reb- eldom itself could not bave doue more damage to the enemy than this fire has accomplished A New Orleans letter says: "On Saturday, the 4th nit., General Emory issued a call for three or four regiments of men to serve for sixty days in the defence of the city. In just 3 days four full negro regiments were raised, organized, clothed, armed, and equipped." One of the incidents of the late battlo was the shelling oi a farm house by a rebel bat tery, commanded by the son of the occupant. During a charge of the Union troops the son was killed, but the father refused to look up on the remains of bis ungrateful child. Obeying merely the letter of the law and not the spirit, is like flattering yourself that you are following the injunction, "Look not up on the wine when it is red," by useing liqnor of some other color Jersey lightening, for nstance, which is a dirty yellow. Official statements show tbat the total pub lic debt of the United Slates on the 1st of July inst was $1,097,274,366 less by over $25,000,000 than anticipated by the Secreta ry of tbe Treasury last December. You can depend on no man, on do friend, who cannot depend upon bimself. Be only wbo acts conscientiously toward bimself will ct so toward others. A COINCIDENCE. THE PRESIDENT JUSTIFIED. George W. Woodward, when a member ofj When three citizens of Louisiana recently the Convention to revise and amend the Con- j waited on the President, and under the pre station of Pennsylvania, boldly proposed and fence that they represented the people of tbat warmly advocated a measure to disfranchise all foreign tom adopted citizens. His doctrine was, tbat the enfranchisement of the foreigner, however long be might reside in the land and whatever his devotion to tbe Government, would breed discord, danger and destruction in and to tbe country. This monstrous pro position, notwithstanding Woodward ably, zealously advocated its adoption as a portion of the Constitution ot the State of Pennsylvania, was repudiated and rejected with scorn, as an insult to the memory ot the dead ; as a wrong to the descendants of the fathers of the Gov ernment, and a stay to the progress and de velopment which emigration was hoped to impart to the nation. But tbe idea of dis franchising the masses was never abandoued by Woodward. The lawyer who sat in the Reform Convention, and there proposed to disfanchise the foreign born American citizen, clung to bis notion, cherished it as a dream of justice, cogitated it as a statesmanlike enterprise, determined some day to put his theory into successful operation. And who ev.-r dreamed that he would bo sucessful t Who ever im agined that George W. Woodward would suc ceed in disfrachising any portion of the A mencan people ? No one, surely, but himself and yet he has succeeded. And what is worse those thus disfanchised arc the very men who are evt;n now engaged in fighting to maintain the Government. The soldier who bare their bosoms to the bullets oj the enemies of the Government, are the .Imerican citizens whom George IV. Wool ward has declared should not vute. Herein is the coincidence in the conrsu of the copperhead candidate for Gov- i cnior of Pennsylvania. He started in his ca reer as a public man, by attempting to dis franchise the American citizens, in which he failed. But he persisted in cherishing the notion of disfranchisement until he succeeded in disfrachising the soldiers. Is such a man fit to administer tbe affairs of a Government composed of freemen ? This is a question which the freemen of Pennsylvania mtist de cide in a very few weeks. Telegraph. CONDITION OF SOUTHERN RAILROADS. A practical machines! and locomotive en gineer, formerly employed no the Bellefon- taine Railway, and who has for the last two years been employed in tbe South, lately es caped through the rebel lines at the capture of Jackson, Mississippi, and has reached Clove- land, Ohio. The Cleveland Herald says he is a man entitled to perfect confidence, and en tirely able to speak of the statu of tbe rail way lines in the South. He says that tbe roll ing stock on tbe southern railroads is in wretched condition, and there are neither me chanics, nor shops, nor suitable tools to repair the machinery. The engines and cars have been kept on the move constantly, t,nd a train cannot now, with safety, make over four miles an hour on most of tbe tracks. There were seven locomotives .captured a Jackson, but ouly two were fit to haul a train of five cars. The tracks, too, are in a sad plight ; the sid- ings have been taken up to patch out the main tracks, and trains are compelled to switch off on timbers at the turnouts. There is no way to remedy these things; there is no iron; there are few mechanics competent to repair tbe macainery ; there are no suitable tools even were there men to handle them, and the trouble is daily becoming more serious.

A Colonel of a Texas regi ment, wbo was mortally wounded at Gettys burg stated in bis last moments to Major Cross of tbe New Hampshire Fifth, that their I regiments were opposed to eacb otbernd tbat I Colonel Cross, of tbe New Hampshire regi- ment,was an old friend and companion in Mexi co and Texas life and tbat be ordered bis men not to sboot at bim ; but both were wounded I at about tbe same rime, aad died oo tbe bat tle field. asked him to take certain measures proposed by them as the best means of bring ing the State back into the Union, Mr. Lin coln told them that tie desired a further and fuller expression of the sentiments of the peo ple before be thought it proper to act. For this caution he was blamed, at the time, but it now appears that he refrained wisely. When the "Uuion Association of New Orlear.s" heard of the affair, its memlvers met and pas sed resolutions denying tbe authority of the gentlemen in question to speak for the peo ple of the State. Here, then, is a division of sentiment ; and every one must own that the President is fully justifed by the event, for the prudence of his course. It appears that the three gentlemen who visited Mr. Lincoln claim to represent the "planting interest ;" and the correspondent of a morning journal sneers that the "Union Association" of New Orleans has among ifs men-hers none but paltry working men. Now, to our mind, the working men should have the preference. We have bad enough of the "planting interest." It was that which con spired against the Union ; it was tbat which abolished free speech in the cotton states; it is that interest whose representatives, Davis. Memming. r, tho Rhetts,Tootnbs,Slidel', Ben jamin, Bishop Polk, and Beauregard, bead the southern insurrection ; and it was the unjust predominance of that "planting interest" which tied tbe hands of the southern people, and enabled a comparatively small number of cotton and sugar planters to revolutionize tbo South aud pluuge tbe country into a costly and bloody war. The people of this country have had enough of the "planting interest." The phrase is nauseous. Let us bear tbe voice of the working men of Louisiana and other Southern States. They are the majority;they were not conspirators against tbe Union ; tbey have a right to be beard, and when tbey come to the President and express their wishes, no doubt tbey will be received with the attention aud regard which our republican Chief Mag istrate always pays to tbe just wishes of "tho. piainpeople." N. Y. Etening Post. Defaced U. S. CiaRENCT.-Our peop le sbou Id know that tbe U. S. currency depreciates in value when pieces are torn from notes, large or small, in proportion to tbe size of tbe pie ces so torn off. For instance, a teu cent note with halt torn off, is worth five cents, and so on. This is a matter tbat will be of interest in a short time, as tbe notes in circulation are fast wearing out, and, so far as we know, there has been no provision made for their exchange for new ones. A Disinfectant. Green copperas dissolved in water will effectually concentrate and de stroy the foulest smells, and if placed under a bed in hospitals and sick rooms will render the atmosphere free and pure. For butchers' stalls, fish markets, sinks, and wherever tbere are offensive gasses,dissolved copperas sprink- ,ed bout w" in day or two, purify the at- mospbere, and an application once a week will keep it sweet and healthy. It is stated tbat a number of treasury notes, altered from low to high denominations, are in circulation. Among these, twos altered to fifties are tbe best calculated to deceive. A close inspection will enable Dearly any one to detect the base character of any bill suspected. Gallant Conduct. It isstated that in tbe re- cect siege of Charleston, S. C. the Mbntauk, one of the Monitor batteries, ran in to within 100 feet of Fort Wagner, reconnoitering leis urely, and then returned without injury. Ad miral Dahlgren was on board. , When you bear a Copperhead talking a- bout President Lincoln's unconstitutional acts, just ask bim to point out a single instance where a Uuited States court, or any judge au thorized to give an opinion, bas decided such act to be unconstitutional.
