I.l'CLun.P.., of Gull ord, for Aisembly ; - Huon B. DX:VIDSONI of. Chambersburg, for Commissioner ; Tou H. CRISWELL, of Green, for Diree „ tor , of the Poor, and MORROW R. SKIN - HRH, of Lnrgan, for Auditor. Congressional conferees were chosen favorable to Gen. - Wm. H. KOONTZ, of Somerset, for Con gress, and Hon. ALEX. KING, of Bedford, for Judge. The Convention was entirely harmonious in its action. A series of sound resolutions-were adopted. ' A BEDFORD county correspofdent writes us that the copperheads in that section are industriously circulating the report, that if the soldiers are allowed to vote; negroes in the service will also be enabled to vote. By'this sort of misrep resentation they hope to induce men to GENS4NROOKS ARID AVERILL pursued the rebel Gen. Early up the Shenandoah Valley, and defentedhim in an engagement on Taesday of last week. On Saturday the rebelforces of Breckinridge and Early were Concentrated, and atti►cked Crooks near Winchester, compelling him to re treat to Martinsburg. The Union forces were pursued to Martinsburg, where they mad a stand and were re-inforced by Hunter, on Monday. This retrograde movement of our forces created much uneasiness on the border, and a number.of persons near the river sent their stock off again; but at the time of this *riling (3.304.. M. Tuesday) no re bel demonstrations have been made on the Potomac at any point; and we do not apprehend that any will be made. Gen. Much has the border well picketed, and the fords are all guarded, so that a sur prise upon our people is hardly possible. Should any threatening movements be made in this direction, we doubt not that Gen. Couch will, as he has always done heretofore, give timely notice to remove stock and other valuables. WHISPERS OF PEACE. At last a faint star glimmers in the dark horizon, and whispers PEACE ! It may be again obscured for a time as the thun der of wax takes up its terrible arbitra ment; but new and brighter stars of hope Wll.emerge from the gloom, and reach fruition in an honorable and enduring Peuce. Treason has devoted its last resources to the destruction of the government, =dims failed. Its universal conscription has done its full work ; 'beyond its present armies, it has no reserves—no hope ; and they have proved unequal ,to the task of htirling a continent into anarchy: John ston has been driven to surrender the fertile fields of Georgia,, god either has yiiided, or must soon yield, the great manufaeturing,emporium of the South,. and a strategic ,point that precludes the pt!ii*jbility of repining.tebel, supremacy in that .section.

She.rman's army is abundantly strong ; for its work ; bat Grant's is not. It has in vain sought to 'deliver battle to Lee in an open field since it crossed the Rapidan in May, and to-day it would annihilate the, best Only of treason could it be forced into open action. But it cannot make the, - , fearful sacrifices necessary to carry strong fortification by assault, and it is not pow erful enough; to sever and hold all the lines, to Richmond and thus compel a field figlt; a retreat or a surrender. Had Butler moved 75,000 men south of RichMond when Gen. Grant started out, and Hunter a column of like strength to Lynchburg, the possession of Richmond would have I been aotured without a siege. and ten thousand heroic lives would' have been spared. It is now well known to the de spairing traitors that en. Grant's army soon will be large enoUgh to close the war without desperate battles, and immediate- ly upon the issue,ef a call for 500,000 ad ditional men they confessedly yield the ultimate issue; and commence an irregu lar negotiation to open the door for peace. Clement C. Clay, formerly a U. S. Sen ator and now a rebel Senator from Ala bama; Prof. J. P. Holcombe, arebel Con gressman, and ,Geo. Sanders, formerly custom-house official under Buchanan in New York, and now a seedy adventurer, have been_ on the Canada side of Niagara Falls for some time, in consultation with leading copperheads to direct the action - of the Democratic National Convention, so as best to serve the rebel cause. They were doubtless duly accredited, but per haps not officially, by the rebel authori ties to tender terms of re-construction to the Democracy; and to that end they had been counselling for some days Vith the leaders of that party ; but the call for new troops defeated the whole negotiations with the Democracy, as it points to a close of the war by the utter destruction of rebel military power, before the De mocracy, even if successfal in the elect 10 50 15 00 tion, could belnvested with power to save expiring treason and dignify its death by a humiliating compromise. In this extremity Mr. Sanders applied to Mr. Greeley, of the Tribune, to procure the rebel, commissioners to the Demo cratic party a pass to Washington to open the =way as they declared„for "termina ting, at the .earliest possible moment, the ealamnities of the war." They said that they had not been accredited "as the bear ers of propositions looking to the estab lishment of peace," but that they "are in the confidential employ of our (the rebel) goVernmenti and are entirely familiar kith its wishes and opinion's on that sub ject." Their "confidential" employment at the time was to make a treaty with the °crew party to betray the govern ment; but as their armies cannot survive, cri un er the increase of ours, long enough to 'secure aid from their natural ally in the:North, they directed their confiden tial mission to the government they meant to l u betrayed into their hands. Mi. Greeley pro Cured authority from the President for them to proceed to-Wash ington., believing them to W authorized to propose terms of peace; but When they disclaimed their authority. the President met the proposition with the following letter, which was delivered to the rebel emissaries by Maj. Hay. his private Sec retary : .. EXECUTIVE MANSION. Washington. July IS, 1x64. 1 . To whom it may coutern: Any proposition which embraces the restoration of- peace, the integrity of the Union and the abandonment of slavery, and :which comes by and with authori ty that c:n control the armies now at war against the United States, will be received and considered by the Executive Government of the United States, and will be met by liberal terms on other substantial and collateral points, and the bearers thereof shall have safe conduct both ways ABRAHAM lascorai." This simple propositioh,.demanding the integrity of the Union' and the removal of the cause of this unholy rebellion, was not what the rebels had come to meet. They had come to destroy by intrigue' and treachery with perfidious men in the North—not to bilild_,up the government, and their after-thirught mission with the government was ended. They made no . proposition of peace, and when met with one, they indignantly resented it,:iind he themselves again to see what vitality in the Democratic party could be turned to heir desperate cause. —So-ends the first step towards peace —so goes out for a time the first dawn of 1k -brighter day ; but it leaves the silver fining to the cloud, and proclaims the waning power of treason and the early noontide of ,Peace and Union. It cannot long be delayed. Despair only could have wrung from them the effort .of rlay and •Holcombe to avert the impending and .final overthrow of their military force, and soon we shall hear from the desolate land of crime—not proposals to negotiate with traitors, but assurance of returning allegiance,,and .the utter destruction of the usurped powers of the fiends who have sacrificed ,half of then coun trymen on 4e altar of ambition and des potism, —We have standing commissioners of Peace named Grant and Sherman. To them and their brave men is the Sacred cause of the Republic entrusted. The die, banding of rebel armies and obedience to tha laws on the part of traitors, will make el)c franKV, them sheath - their -.words, and.proclaint that the Western 7 orld is still the home of Freedom, an' that its great Republic has survived th‘ combined efforts of De-s -potism and Treason to destroy it. VOLUM =Efts AND BOUNTIES. . . We give elsewhere the quotas of the several districts of this county under the late call for 500,000. Oar table may net be exactly correct. but it 'will not vary materially when the quotas are officially declared. It will be seen that our county must furnish an aggregate of 870 men, and a draft will be made on the sth of Sep tember, oF soon thereafter, for the deficit in every sub-district. - We trust that some uniform system will be adopted for the raising of volunteers and the payment of bounties. Certainly each County should have uniformity in its sub-districts, and as far as practicable Mere should be uniformity in the counties throughout the State— We are not confi dent that the most unjust system prac ticed by the cities, of offering large boun ties to obtain recruits from the rural dis tricts, can be arrested; but we are jiot without hope that it may be done. It would be but simple justice for the War Department to require arnits tote cred ited, under all circumstances, to-the lo calities in which they are enrolled. As each district under the new call, mast fur nish its full quota, of Men. actually mus-. tered into service, there is the grossest in justice iuiallowing wealthy cities to come in competition with sparsely populated and comparatively poor districts in the payment of bounties. The result may be, if it is allowed, that some districts, unable or unwilling to pay bounties, will be so-depleted in men by the tempting bounties of the cities, that they will not 1 hav men enough left liable to military 1 duty, to fill their quotas. We appeal to the authorities to arrest this glaring wrong at once. The same argument applies to the dif ferent districts' of the county. There should be some uniform system adopted. and a common effort made -to fill our quota without competition between dis qicts and theintervention, of the bounty jobbers and sharks, who batten on local committees and soldiers. We believe that the best plan would be for the county to offer a bounty of $lOO to volunteers, and, make provision also for the payment of $lOO to the family of every drafted man dependent upon his labor for support. This would require a large expenditure of money it is true ; but it would not cost the people Of the county' one-half as much as will be expended, and collected by taxes in the townships, if each . distriet gdns hap-hazard into competition with the rest, and a vastly greater amount of good will be done for soldiers and their families. Remember that the families of soldiers, when in want, as is often the case, are a tax upon the generosity of the people of each district under any circumstances; and to make-provision for families of con scripts is humane, just and in the end eco nomical. This system would, we are persuaded. produce more go with with the same means, than any other Vat could be adopted. The burden would tall equal- ly upon aII, and men Would feel that if compelled to serve, they would not leave their loved ones to want or doubtfid charity, - - —And now a word to earnest, 'fai' tidal men on the subject of " Volunteers. The effort to raise troops .will doubtless be embarrassed by the insidious and tireless efforts of men who secretly love treason and hate our country and its sacred cause. They will scatter the poison of distrust wide Spread and hinder hundreds of the Democratic faith, who still believe De mocracy to mean deOtion to the govern ment, from entering the ranks; but how ever thus embarrassed, let patriotic men of all parties exert themselves unceasingly to put in volun teem at the earliest possi ble period. Fifty thousand soldiers add ed to Grant within the next thirty days would most likely be worth more than thrice fifty three months thereafter; and it is not only possible, but most probable that if such an increase of the army can be made, the military power of the rebel lion will be utterly destroyed the coming autumn, and the war practically ended. In PennsylVania, and especially in the southern portion of the State, we have everything at stake. ' — General Sherman seems to have Atlanta within his grasp.; and that point once surrendered by the rebels, they have no point south of that worth defending but Mobile. The prOb: ability is that they will abandon Georgia and throw the ,Shattered army of John- stun to Lee. If that be done, and Grant is not speedily re-inforced, so that he can, not only maintain the siege of Richmond, but resist any offensive movement North on the part of the rebels, we shall have the last desperate death throes of treason on the Pennsylvania side of the Potomac. On the other hand if 50,000 volunteers could be added to Grant during the next .month,'the rebels would be powerls to take the offensive, and utterly unable to subsist the remnants of their armies in the narrowed dominions of traitor& We regard it, therefore, as the first dn.:- ty of every patriot to stimulate enlist ments by every just means, and if it can be done with even moderate mews, Acpopitort); thambersburg, pa, fore the dose of the summer campaign the war will be practically ended . by the destruction of \ the military power of the rebels, which is their last spark of vitality. Let one and all join to fill up the armies! DEMOCRATIC TBEACILERYL We give in another column of to-day's paper a letter from Harrisburg, giving the plans and policy of %the Democratic lead ers on the questions of allowing our sol diers to vote, and of, filling up our armies under the last call of the President. The writer is well infornied on the subjects he treats, and his. statements may_ be im plicitly trusted.. The Democratic leaders despair of defeating the extension of suftrage' to our. soldiers, because the thousands of hone,st and patriotic men of. that party, who are misled by, the charm of Deritoc racy into the embrace of the •foes;iof the government, would opeply and manfully revolt should they avow their hostility to the soldiers Voting: Therefore they must be silent; they must conceal their hatred to our brave armies and the mime for which they are periling their lives, and operate only by- stealth and treachery to procure votes against the proposition.— They will not succeed, however, for the loyal men of `tie State, of bothparties, will, on Tuesday next, confer these just civil rights upon our brave men, in the field. The developments made by our cor respondent touching the position of the Democratic leaders on•the increase of our armies,' would be appalling, indeed," were not the treacherous' proclivities of—those politicians well luiewri, They will not volunteer, or be drafted. 'Union men may enlist with their approbation; but Democrats must stay at home to aid iu defeating the enforceinent of the draft r This is the last desperate effort of the allies of traitors in the North. Well do they know that the re-inforeement of our heroes in the field will bring the War to a speedy close. without the fearful sacrifices which must ever attend offensive move meats 'unless the inilitary force is over whelming; and if the war_ is ended and treason driven intasubinission and shame, the hope of Democratic success at the next election is at an end. To give the Dem °erotic party a victory, and enable it to break the fall of traitors by disgraceful diplomacy, they deliberately resolve to exhaust themselves to give success to the rebels in the field, They frankly confess that in the defeat and incrifice of 'the Union armies alone is their hope of Dem ocratic, success at. the next election; —Let loyal men of all parties ponder well these painful truths. Let but ; the perfidy of these leaders be made known to the people, and tens of -thousands will revolt and array themselves-in the ranks of the Onion party. We welcome the! Democratic leaders to their work of trea son. Let them unfold' their treachery,: as they soon must, and the People will rise in their majesty and sweep' into utter shame, the tricksters - who would build a partizan victory upon the triumph of our country's foes. J, VDQIVELL SHARPE, Esq., is brought out by a correspondent of the Spirit as the Democratic Candidate for Judge of this district. The western counties had about resolved to nominate Hon. Y. M. Kimmell, and it will probably be left for Franklin to decide who will be the candi date. It's no odds, as Tots would say, as, Judge Ring will: . dotrbtless be elected, and we are for either of our Democratic friends in this place who wants it. If either of them fancy a lesson in how not to do it, we go for gratifying him. If both want it, we are in favor of both, running, as the substantial result will be the same, and honors might as well be easy on the short side.. Both are personally unobjec tionable, and justly respected* the pro-. fessiOn for their high ' legal. attainments.
