"Ra.il mad Train Fired on bv Concealed Buffins Car containing Gov. Curtin. Gen. ueary, ana xiaaies xireu inw. Harrisburo, Pa., August 10. The par ticulars of the attack on the Geary soldiers, at York, last night, are as follows : The train was moving off when the soldiers in the open gondolas were attacked by a party secreted in a cornfield, whence caiue discharges from fire-arms, stones, and other missiles. Half a dozen soldiers were badly bruised about the head, and one was shot in the leg. Six shots were fired at the closed car in which were Gov. Curtin. Gen. Geary and the la dies and children of the party. One ball entered and is still imbedded in the wood of the car. Of course the ladies were much frightened, and their screams were heard by the boys on board, who caused the train to stop, and went back after the attacking party, who immediately fled in all direc tions. A special policeman appointed by the Democratic authorities of the York is said to have fired several shots. The Spirit of Copperheadism. That the Copperhead leaders have been canvassing the subject of precipitating an other civil war tor revengeful purposes. seems almost certain. ' In evidence of this, we will state the declaration of a not over cautious member of that party, made in this borough recently. He said "The day is not far distant when the lie- publicans will be paid up tor arresting I'em ocrats during the war and imprisoning t hem. The individual who made this assertion no doubt, reflects the sentiments an 1 utter ances of more cautious minis, as his bump of originality is rather too meagerly devel oped to enable him to come to such a con clusion unprompted. lut,be this as it ma, this threatened revenge on the Republicans, is in perfect accord with the threat of civil war made by Montgomery IJ'air in his Heal ing speech, and the threat of the editor of the Clearfield Republican to "RENEW the irrepressible conflict" by another "revolu tion." "To be fore-armed is to be fore-warned," is an old but true addage ; and we take this opportunity to caution all true and loyal men the patriotb men of all parties who stood by the Union during the late rebellion to keep aloof from all entangling alliances with these insiduous revolutionists; and then, should that party attempt to carry their base declarations into effect, you will be fully prepared to maintain the integrity of the Union and the flag of your country, untrammelled by party ties or the oaths of secret political societies. TRr to SuiFr the Responsibility. The Copperhead papers throughout the country, fearful of the stigma of the New Orleans massacre attaching to them, try to hift the responsibility of that horrid affair from the shoulders of the rebels, by styling it a "negro riot." Mayor Monroe's letter to Gen. Baird, however, plainly indicates its origin. The rebels are guilty of attack ing and murdering a peaceable assembly of ' TTmin man in tfv-tl.l K1ss1 anil ll f crTl,ra "try and perversion of facts, by the Copper head leaders, will not shift the responsibility from the guilty party. The managers of the Ilarrisburg Clymer Soldier's Convention, would have the peo- .ple believe tnattne ooy s in blue are very enthusiastic in the support of their candi date for Governor especially in "old Berks.'

At a meeting of the Soldiers' Geary Club in Curwensville, held on Saturday, August 1 1 th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, those who endeavored bv re bellion and armed resistance to destroy the gloriou3 institutions of our government who by starvation and every other species of savage ami barbarous treatment killed our prisoners, and who endeavored to intro duce infectious diseases into our populous towns and tried to destroy our cities by ap plying the midnight torch and thereby en dangered the lives of defenceless women and children who, (when the valor and patri otism of our soldiers and the wisdom and prudence of our generals had made the vile rpnti! of mhellimi bite the dust and hide hi mnrs1 head, r in tne lasi uirues ui - ., , . .l e their vindictive struggle sent the midnight assassin ana s-trucK aown me man wnu stands ride by side with Washington in the honrt f ovnrv tru v loval citizen oi tue re public, thereby demonstrating to the world that their hellish malignity to our free in stitutions is but the natural result of that foul blot, human slavery are now seeking tn nirnin control the government : And whereas, those who during the bloody strug gle in which the best blood in the loyal States was shed on more than a thousand battle fields, not onlv held aloot but opposed ev ery well-directed effort of the government to sustain itself, and to promote the emeien- cy and power of the army and navy who oDDOsed the enort to conitort, encourage and sustain the soldier in his arduous strug gle with treason by refusing to aid the Chris tian and Sanitary uominissions in tneir ef forts to minister to the wants and wounds of our brave men when lyinjr prostrate on the battle-field or suffering in hospitals who vmblicly exulted over the defeat of the Union arms, and who were downcast over . ... . our victories who encouraxea arruea re sistance to the draft and the desertion of soldiers who by secret organizations con cealed deserters and encouraged them to re sist the United States authorities i i the ex ecution or the laws who have again re newed their alle2ian.ee with the traitor ene mies of the Union and taken them to their bosoms are now making every effort to hand the government into the hands o these rebels and make them the rulers over those who sacrificed everything but lite up on the altar of the republic : And where AS, these allied enemies of the Union have nominated for the office of Governor of this good old loyal State a man who not only sympathized with the rebellion, but who. while we were in the front, fought us in the rear by every means in his power, in con nection with such kindred spirits as Vallan digham, Wood, Bigler, Wallace and their nartv : therefore be it Resolved. That we, the members of the Curwensville Soldiers' Geary Club, adopt the following principles for our guidance du ring the presenc political campaign, to wit 1st. That, as we stood side by side with those who gave their life s blood in vindica tion of our national honor on the field of battle, so we stand to-day in maintenance of the principles for which we then fought. 2d. That we believe that Hiester Clymer. the candidate of the Copperhead party for Governor, has proved himselr recreant to the great principles of the loyal and patri otic people of the Union, and we blush to see men who acquitted themselves with hon or during the late struggle for the nation's existence, associate .with him, 2d. That Andrew Johnson, having viola ted his sacred pledge to the American peo pie. and the grertt party that elevated him to the second office in their gift, that "trea son should be punished and made odious and now being in close conference and affili ation with thoe who devoted themselves to the overthrow of the government, has forfeit ed all claims to our confidence. 4tii. That in General John W. Geary, the Soldier's Candidate for Governor, we recog nize the true soldier and patriot who gallant ly maintained the honor of our country up on the battle-field, and who will stand by the interests' of this glorious old Common wealth for which he shed his blood on more than one post of danger that in him we recognize the friend of the soldier and the soldier's orphan ; and we hereby pledge him our hearty and united support. 5th. That .we invite all honorably dis charged soldiers in Clearfield county to rallv, with us, to the support of Gen. John W. Geary, and aid to overthrow domestic trea son as signally as we crushed armed rebel lion. Questions for the Democracy. In a letter to the Philadelphia iVe, "Occasional" puts the questions at issue before the country at this time, as follows : ".The Representatives who, in running for re-election, will have to meet the brunt of the Copperhead batteries for supporting the glorious Article of Pacification, need have no fears. They have onlv to ask their ad versaries five plain questions, each being pertinent to the five leading sections of that article: '. 1. Are you opposed to conferring civil rights upon all the citizens of the American Republic ? re you in favor of allowing a Seuth Carolina rebel two votes and a half, when the Union Soldier throws but one? 3. Are you opposed to a decree that pre vents the traitors from holding office in the United States? . 4. Are you opposed to a clause that ren ders it impossible to repudiate our own na tional debt, and makes it an inviolate cove nant and an inviolable duty to pay the bounties and pensions of the Union soldiers ? 5. Are you in favor of paying the rebel war debt? :, . These questions no Union man would hesitate to answer in the spirit that prompt ed the preparation of the amendment of the National Constitution., And I am glad to add that I think the overwhelming majority of the Democratic party would respond with equal promptitude and patriotism. He rmust be a double-dyed traitor, indeed, who could answer otherwise. The New York Tribune thinks that Gea ry's majority will ba 100,000. The Tribune is the most reliable calculator of elections that we know of, but in1' this case we think its estimate too high by about 35,000. From all the data in our possession, and the exertions the copperheads are making we doubt if Geary's majority can be carried much above 65,000 or 70,000. But that will do. Jersey Shore Yidettc. . ; THE HEW 0ELEANS BEBEL EI0T. Address of the Governor of Louisiana. New Orleans. August S. The follow ing address has been issued to the people oi Louisiana by Gov. Wells : y fiMPivs AiifustS. The bloody tragedy enacted in the city of ew Orleans ont'he 30th day of July, .1SG6, in which more than three hundred citizens were h.ui ed or wounded, has to the credit of human ity created a profound sympauij in me breast of every man throughout the length and breadth ot the coi'U try. , The remote and immediate causes or mis rn tr-i era r1iti:nii1 a thorough investigation and explanation, and as the Chief Magis trate ot the State 1 teei a soiemti uUlJ i su ing upon me to give a plain, unvarnished statement of its origin and progress. In doing this it becomes necessary for me to commence in the year 1SG4, at the reorgan ization of the civil government in tuai por tion of Louisiana which had been wrested from rebel authority. I regret that I shall in this connection be obliged to ppeak of my self. It is not to satisfy any feeling ot van ity that I do so, for I fully realize that lam but an insignificant atom in the greatause ot maintaining and perpetuating the Union of these States. . , The political history of the country teach es us that under the policy of the late la mented President, all the loyal citizens oi Louisiana, in the parishes then within the Union, were invited and authorized in the proclamation issued by the military com mander of this Department, to hold an elec tion on the 2'2d dav of February, 18G4, for State officers. . The election was held, and. T thpn heinff a refugee from my parish, in the rebel lines, in consequence of my Union sentiments, I was nominated by the Free State party, as it is called, and also by the extreme Radical party of which J. Durand was the acknowledged leadenas their candi date for the office of Lieut. Governor. The first named ticket, headed by Michael Hahn for Governor was elected. Governor Halm served until the 4th of March, 1SG5, when, by his resignation, I succeeded to the office of Governor. In the meantime, and by virtue of military a-ithority, an election for delegates to the State Convention to amend and revise the Constitution of had ta ken place. Tile Convention had mct,f ramcd a Constitution declaring slavery to be abol ished, which Constitution is now the funda mental law of the State. It is further known that the Convention did not adjourn sine die, but subject to the call ot the President for any cause. A Legislature had also been elected, and was in session at the time of the assumption by me of the duties of the office of Governor. Shortly afterward the collapse of the so called Confederate Government took place, rnd by the surrender of the forces in t he Trans Mississippi Department the entire territory of the State was restored to the lawful authority of the United States. When this event took place what was my conduct toward the population of the eigh teen parishes reclaimed ? Although I had been persecuted and driven away from my home by the rebel authorities, I suppressed all feeling of rancor so natural to the many, and expressed the belief that fc majority had been seduced from their allegiance to the old flag by the wiles of artful demagogues who brought on the rebellion. When the members of the Legislature met in extra session in the month of No vember. I determined to try the effect of kindness and conciliation in weaning them back to their first love, I addressed them a proclamation, congratulating them on their restoration to the protection of a govern ment of law and order, and assured theni that so far as I was concerned, I was wil ling to forget the past. I begged them to submit cheerfully and unreservedly to the new order of things and assured them that although a State Government has been or ganized, yet I was anxious that a general election for State officers should be held, in whic.li the whole State could participate. I appointed, men reeointnended to fill the of fices in the several parishes. I signed their applications to the President of the United States for special pardon. I persisted in my course of reconciliation notwithstanding the warnings and reiuoustranoes of Union men, who believed that my policy would be unavailing in accompliahing the purpose in tended, and who predie'ed that at the very first election the.e men, in every parish where they held the power, would proscribe every man from office who had not been in the rebel army, aud fought for the rebel cause. The?3 predictions have been realized to the letter at every subsequent election, with the exception of my own case ; and it is well known, for it was publicly avowed, that I was put at the heal of their ticket simply because it was thought that I could be useful in securing a representation of thi3 State in Congress. . It is well known that the platform reported by the committee ap pointed for that purpose, is a reiteration of the doctrines of the right of secession, and it was only through the exertions of a few of the more cautious and politic of the par ty that this platform was made to assume the form in which it was adopted. At the same convention, a well known citizen and live democrat was publicly censured by res olution because in a speech delivered before that body, he said that secession was worse than a crime it was a blunder. Notwith standing my nomination by the Democratic party, another candidate was put in the field in opposition to me, who had officiated as Governor under rebel rule, and who, had he been in the country and siguified his assent, I have no doubt would nave been over whelmingly elected. - The Couvention of 1S65 was convened for the purpose of raising money to restore the broken levees, and to take measures to re deem the credit of the State. I found that they were more intent, on calling a conven tion to change the Constitution of 1864, than to promote the material interests of the people. Their chief objection to that instrument was the . character of the men who framed it and the abolition thereby of slavery. Having failed at the extra session to pass a bill calling" a convention, the at tempt was renewed at the regular session held in the ' month of January, and more than half 'the time ot that body was spent in discussing that question. Finally a com mittee was sent to Washington to consult the Presideht, and the Legislature - only abandoned the measure through his advice. I considered a convention inexpedient, and for that reason opposed it. L had learned enough of the real sentiments of the people to convince.,me that if a new constitution was made it would be less in harmony with the views of the President and Congress than the Contitutien of 1864, the result of . which would be to lessen the chances for the admission of our representatives. I urged these views on the members of both Houses of the Legislature, but they had no effect with the majority. I deprecated the city and parish, election for the reasou that I feared the result because of the character of the men that would" be elected, because 1 had seen enough of public sentiment to con vince me that more of those who had serv ed in the Confederate army or who had goue in the Confederate lines would be elected to office. I foresaw that such a result would be justly regarded by the people ef the loy al States as showing a defiant spirit, and as still glorying in a course that had cost them such a fearful loss of life and exjHMiditure of treasure. With numerous and repeated evidences of the continuing of an intoler ant and rebellious spirit, and the manifes tation of the persecution of all that did not adhere to the fortunes or the Confederacy to the last on the part of a large majority of the citizens, and with a press almost unani mously expressing sentiments of the same tenor, is it a matter of surprise that I should pause and commence to reflect on the con sequences both as regards the future secu rity of the Government and the fate of U nion men in the South, if these men who once attempted to break up the Union suc ceeded in grasping the power of the nation again ? I had seen that while professing with-their lips renewed allegiance to the flag and obligation to the President for his pacific ioliey, they were becoming arrogant, intolerant and dictatorial. They were glo rying in the apparent schism between the President and Congress in the policy of re storing the States lately in rebellion, and rubbing their hands with delight at tUe idea of civil war in the loyal States. In view of all this array of strong, " stubborn facts, I frankly own that my views of the concilia tory policy in bringing back to allegiance those who have been engaged in a war to destroy the Union have undergone a change. The intolerant spirit "engendered by slavery still exists. The loss of property and the failure of their hopes can never be forgiven, and though I regard them as impotent to renew constituted authority, enforced by the presence of military forces, yet I am con vinced that they would renew the rebellion to-morrow, if there were a sure prospect of success. Imrressed with the truth of these views, foreseeing the uncertainty for the fu ture security of Union men in the South, desiring that the amendment to the Consti tution adopted by Congress and submitted to the several States for ratification should prevail, and fully realizing the fact that the amendment would never be ratified by the present Legislature, I own that I was in fa vor of the reassembling of the Convention of 1864 as the only means of securing the ratification as required, and thereby insure the admission ot our representatives in Con gress. The legal right of the Convention to continue its functions is a question I sup pose properly pertaining to the Courts to decide. Senators and representatives in Congress of great learning, and men of high legal attainments in New Orleans have ex pressed the opinion that under the resolu tion of adjournment the Convention could lawfully reassemble. A distinguished Dem ocratic Senator in Congress took the same view. For myself if I had any doubt on this subject, which I have not, I should have deferred to the opinion of abler men. The total number of delegates composing the Convention was one hundred and fifty. The number elected was seventy-three. The quorum was fixed at seventy-six. This number being a majority of the whole.there were twenty-seven parishes unrepresented in the Convention, entitled to eleven dele gates, and adding thereto ten vacancies to be filled it would make sixty-one delegates to be elected, besides there were some ten or twelve delegates, who. disapproving the emancipation clause, refused tn sign the Constitution, who may be ranked with the extreme Conservatives. Counting the sixty-one delegates elected to be of the same class and the balance of the Convention to be radical, it will be seen that the parties would have been nearly equally divided. There are disfranchising clauses in the constitution of 1864. The much abused members of that body had it in their power to have made the constitution as stringent against those engaged in the rebellion, as Tennessee and Missouri have done. They pursued an opposite course, believing and trusting, as I did. that these men would be actuated by a spirit of tolerance and forbear ance, in return for the liberality shown to ward them. How the members of that Con vention have been treated individually by the very men iu whose honor and good faith they had trusted, to say nothing of the scorn and villification fulminated against them as a collective body, and the constitu tion they made, let the record of the bloody doings at the Mechanics' Institute on Mon day, the 30th ult., answer.- In keeping with their unrelenting policy to maintain the power of the State in their own hands exclusively, they opposed the meeting of the convention of 1864. They needed no bet ter monitor than their own conscience to tell them that by their conduct they had forfeit ed all claims to further favors from the orig inal members of that convention. They re solved that it must be put ' down, crushed out at all risks. The terrible scenes of the thirtieth of J uly confidently predicted in case the Convention iret were the result. The letters of Mayor 3Ionroe to Gen. Baird accompanying this communication furnish proof that it was the determination that if every other measure failed, a resort would be made to force. - Everything was arranged on Sunday. Preparatory to that purpose the police received orders, and on Monday morning they were in large numbers at the corner of Canal and Dryade , streets, each having one or more revolvers on his person. They were not- there except to commit vio lence. ' The speakers at the Friday night meeting counselled nothing more than that the blacks should come armed to defend the Convention incase the members were at tacked. Admitting that they had assembled for that purpose, what occasion was there for alarm, unless it was meditated to assault the Convention. The inference is irresisti ble from the manner of the police alonev that it was designed to break up -the .-Convention by force. Fr this purpostrir begin ning was necessary, and the opportunity sought for soon occurred by the arrival of a procession of blacks with music on their way to the place of the meeting of the Con vention, which procession had entered the street through the crowd of policemen and citizens. At the corner of Canal street they were met with insult and jeers which brought i on a collision.- A shot was fared but ended in nothing serious. - The next act of violence was the arrest of a colored man by a police- j man in front i.f the lustitute, but for what , hffenf' I am unahla to sjiv. The crowd of colored persons asse mbled Itecame excited f at these occurrences, white men would oo under the same circum stances. Some took the tide of the police men, others th: side of the prisoners ; brick bats were thrown aud one iiot fired, the Ill testimony going to show that it was done by one of the colored crowd. It was answered ; immediate' hy several shots from the crowd of policemen at the corner, and followed up by rapid tiring on the crowd of blacks, who returned the fire as fast as they could, but being overpowered and-driven from the street, they took shelter in the Mechanics' Institute. -If the object of the police was simbly to preserve the public peace, why did they not after the mea had taken refuge in the Institute, 'return to their original po sition at the comer of the' streets, which ef fectually cut off egress from the front, and placing a guard to watch the rear 'or the building, await the arrival of the military, who were known to be on their way. Their only reason for this course is that it did not suit their purpose. They accordingly ad vanced in front of the building andbeseiged it on all sides, and every negro who attempt ed to escape was murdered.' The crowning climax of these murderous and bloody acte is well known. When the white flag was hung out as a token of surrender, the police arrested the members of the Convention and other white citizens, and brought them into the streets, where the most prominent for their Union sentiments were shot, stabbed, and beaten in the very custody and presence of the entire police force of tire city. Why did not the Mayor or his Chief station a guard at the door, aud forbid any 'person from entering, and await the arrival of the military. By this means the last, most de liberate a nl horrible phaze of this bloody tragedy would have been avoided. It is also notorious that the police failed to arrest, or to attempt to arrest, even one of the riot ous citizens, who, according to their often repeated statements were continually attack ing, wounding and killing persons who had surrendered and were in their custody. I think I have fully shown that it was tire de sign of those opposed to the Convention to break it up by force. The inference to be drawn from the letter cf the Mayor that such a course was resolved on, and the mass ing of the police and their willingness to rush into the fight, I think fully establishes the fact that the causes of this exhibition of violence and mob law must be traced further back. It is the embers of the fires of the rebellious feeling which plunged this coun try into a dessolating war, which flames are not yet extinguished, in the breasts of the former slave-holding aristocracy, who faibd in their first effort to destroy the Govern ment. They seek now to regain political power in the same old spirit. My deliber ate conclusion is that if the military forces be w ithdrawn the lives ot the Union men who proved themselves conspiruous in main taining their allegiance will not be safe. The security both of the Government, and the Union men of the South depend, in my opinion, upon the ratification of the con stitutional amendment proposed by Con gress, and the enfranchisement of the lo3al black man, that he may become educated and qualified for that important privilege. If the advocacy of these measures identify me with the Radical party, as it is called, in my opposition to the President, must ac cept the situation, besides I cannot change my conviction iu respect to the principles and measures I deem necessary to perpetu ate the Union.
