military service of the war, and his re
lations to ycu, so long, so intimate and BO
.-ordial, are severed.
In this, our last interview, when tho
ties that bound us so closely for these
eventful years just passed, and the rela
tions so intimate, to cordial are closing,
ho would be iusensible to the constant
fidelity, to the pleasant relations, to the
forgiveness of error, to the ready and gen
erous support, to the many, very many
evidences of kindness and affection he
has received from you and youi comrades
if he has failed to express to you his per
sonal obligation and thanks ; he recurs
with gratification to the fact that he did
fur the soldier what he could. He regret*
that ho could not have done more. But
he will carry with him to his grave, and
leave asa rich legacy to his children, the
eonscion»noss that yoq, at least, believed
that be did what he could for his distress
ed country, and that, after the experience
of five eventful years, the soldiers of
Pennsylvania deem him worthy of their
confidence and respect.
And here, oq this last occasion of the
war, he returns his thanks to the great
body of tho people of Pennsylvania, for
heir kiudneßS and support, and to the
housgpdE of benevolent women and men,
who were always ready to obey his calls
ro the succor and relief of their brave
ind gallant brethern in the field.
I have done. Farewell, brave men.—
May God Hess you.

DEAR SIRS : Tho harmony and sue

together in the furnace-fire of a tour

it has been well saicl, in language as

creiisee power in Congress hereafter, be

(bsiros. had lifted their slaves into the
full stature of Freemen ?
Xhu this amendment; is in accordance
wUli t!«i wishes of the lqjal millions who
won the brilliant political victory of 1864.
-8 provea by the unanimity witf l which it
WJ»S supported in the House of Represen
tatives. Erery man tlected as a Union
whether from the North or the
ScwjJi, from the East or the West, gave
it Jus voice; not barely the two-thirds re
quited by the Constitution, but' nearly;
fbflr-fiiils. On this amendment, as a se
curity lor the future, the Union party of
NuUun have planted themtelvcs, and I
IhjilJ Hand with them moft cordially,vin-
dicating its justice, wisdom and necessi
ty, ami willing on it tu stand or fall,
FOT one, I do pot doubt the result.—
Shall Rebels settle their own terms of
coming haek usf Shall they
rpascend to enlarged nnd increased pow
er, as steps the grave*of the Union
dead/ Should not Gongreae. whose sol
emn duty it is to see that the Republic
suffers no evil, pause before the bitter
foes ot yesterday are admitted to the inner
sanctuary of the nation's life. Ought
they not to guard the halls of National
legislation from b»ing trodden by the
feet of those who have been murdering
the defenders of the Union ftir fidelity
to an allegiance they themselves so wick
edly repudiated? Every newspaper in
the land, North or South, which eulogiz
ed Jefier?oQ Davis, and vilified Abraham
Lincoln, now denounces Congress in the
severest terms. Every unrepenteut Rebel
and unscrupuloussympathizer joins them
in their revilings. Hut I rejoice that it
has been BO faithful, so inflexible, in
what it has regarded as the pathway of
Duty and of Might. And it now remains
for the people, by their indorsement or
rejection of its proposed Constitutional
guarauty,to approve or to condemn those
who present it as an indispensable pre
requisite to the restoration of the forfeit
cd rights gnd the political power our en
emies wade such hot haste to resign and
abjure at the opening of the Rebellion.
I*i or are these terms oppressive or un -
just. Never IUB a nation whose exist
ence has been imperiled, and whose hun
dreds of thousands of graves and thous
ands of millions of debt attest its gig<m
tie sacrifices, offered moro lenient condi,
tions to those who conspired for its
destruction. Have we forgotten the in
sulting defiance with whioh their members
sworn like ourselves the Constitution
and the Union, left their seats here—the
persecutions, conscriptions, tyranny, ex
pulsions and hangings bv tltb Rebel au
thorities of all who refused to forswear,
like themselves, their ullegiance to their
country and their flag—the willful torture
auc. starvation of scores of thousands of
out soldiers when prisoners in their
hand—their unyielding persistency in the
parricidal conflict till armed rebellion
expired, pot from change of will but from
poverty of resource and tl\e heroism of
the loyal boys in blue—the continued
existence of this hostile feeling as evi
denced in iheir political and social pro
fieri ption of every Southerner who fought
for his country, the disloyal utterances
of their press and pulpit, and the election
in every Rebel State of Governors who
bad seivcd or fought for the Rebellion?
Despite all this, Congress only asks th.at
representation, North and South, shall
be based on those eligible to participation
in political power , that the civil rights
ot all persons, native born or naturali
zed, shall be maictained ; the National
debt and the Pension list preserved invi
olate; the Rebel debt repudiated j and
exclusion from office oi those who hav
ing once taken and broken an oath of
fidelity to the Nation could not be trusted
in the faithful fulfillment hereafter of
another similar obligation.
Contrast this with the courso of our
fathers toward those who, during the
Revolutionary War. refused to fight for
the independence of the Colonies. The
Tories ot that day insisted that their
allegiance and loyalty were due to the
King. lll) d that they should not bo com
pelled to trauster them. But the stern
patriots who founded our Government
would tolerate no such argument. De
termined to oreato a pure national senti
meut, thpy made Toryism odious in every
possible way. They admitted none of
them to seats in the Congress of the
Nation against which they had warred.
They allowed no floral processions to the
graves of the Tory dead, nor the u eof
such pretexts tor treasonable speeches of
en on their lost cause. They suffered
no Tory papers to exist and scatter their
malignant poison over the land. They
disfranchised and expatriated them.— 1
Such was the Resonstruotion policy of i
our fathers. (
Stfongty ijj contrast with this as is tho
Reconstruction policy of Cougress, so
m.ld and forgiving of the Blackest of
crimes, not for revenge but for defense,
not for punishment but for justice, our
Democratic opponents have arrayed them
selves against it, and the peop'le aie to
decide the issue. If you would take on
board as a crpw to work your ship those '
who had just been striving to scuttle and
destroy it, then it might be believed that
the American people would throw open
the doors of their Congress and intrust
appropriations for pensions and the pub
lic debt, and legislation for all matters of
national concern, to those who sought to
whelm the nation in a common ruin, and
who, if they had the powerto-day,would
shatter the Republip mcl rebuild their
Confederacy.
In 1804, when the Democratic Nation—.
al Convention at Chicago resolved that
the war wan a failure, nnd demanded an
immediate elation of hostilities by our
armies, thun waving the white flag of Davis,
Davis, the President
of the Rebel conspiracy, waited] and
watched for the result with the deepest
anxiety. The magnificent uprising of
the people destroyed his hopes; and, with
the resistless blovfs of our gallant soldiers
his wicked cau-6 \yent dowu. Now, in
18W, A H. Stephpns. the Vice Presi
dent of that treasonable organization,
proclaims that their hope is in the elec
tions of this Fall. Again these false
hopes must be destroyed. Rebel
States will realize/in the respose of the
loyal pillions to the issue, that th? de
termination of those who saved the Union
from their fierce attack, to have guaran
ties against another Rebellion, is inflexi
ble. Yielding as they must to these de
mands, which, considering their cause,
are even more gpperous than just, the
XLth Congress will witness, loyal Sena
tors and Representatives in their seats
from every State. And tho L'niop, thus
auspiciously reconstructed, on the endur
ing corper-stones of loyalty, universal
liberty, the elevation of the oppressed
and theright of all men, born under our
or naturalised in our courts, to the
equal protection of the law, will com
mence a new career qf progress, prosperi

The Skies C'lcar|ug{
There is nothing at oqeo so iliseoqra
ging and damaging to a political organi
zation, as uncpvt»(nty apd ipactiqn. The
most discomagipg time in our history as
a nation, perhaps, was February, March,
and a part of April, lgqi. At that time
it seemed uncertain what would be the
final course of the Government—all was
nncertainty —nil was doubt ! But no
sooner had our patriotic President given
evidence of his future policy, iu calling
out 75,001 men for the National defense,
than the hopes .of the people at once
revived. The public credit was measur
ably restored, and a strong an<} abiding
confidence every wlieT 6 secured. So, in ref,
crence to our political situation at the pres
ent time. For long weary it has
been known that a radical difference ex
isted betwpen the President and tho par
ty which elected him. A fond hope,
however, was entertained that differ
ences wight pass away, that harmony
might again prevail. These fotd
we are sorry to say have all passed away j
and it is now apparent that, u dcop laid
scheme has been laid to hand the coqtrql
of tho Government over to a to be
made up of a few excommunicated Re
publicans reinforced by the combined col
umns of Copperheads and Rebels. The
movements necessary to secure a success
at Philadelphia, seem to have rcvoalcd
the whole secret. At first it was given
out that said Convention woqld be ex
clusively Republican, although called by
a half dozen of excommunicated mem
bers of that party, and two or three who
never acknowledged or claimed affinities
with it. But this assumption
has to give way to the development of
passing eyenU. AJI over the Southern
States calls are being issued, signed by
the most virulent robcls, urging the peo
ple to be fully represented in the Phila
delphia Convention. Tho Democratic
members of Congress, too, have issued
their Bull, telling the faithful to be on
hands. Both Tarnany and Mozart halls
have also called upon their respective fol
lowers to be on the ground. In view of all
this, the fpif Republican journals and pol
iticians who felt favorable to the move
ment now begin to beat a retreat. Mr.
Raymond, for exauijdp, sfjid jq a Repub
lican caucus, that, wben he gave it his
sanction he understood that it would be
confined to republicans, that he was there
fore deceived, and would in the future,
act accordingly. At homo we find a
similar failing. Even the Pittsburgh
which so long labored to
have faith in these outside monuments,
and ill some of their moving spirits now
frankly admits that it is disapointed, and
even hints that Cowau besides* acting
traitor, has been apting the hypocrite. Jn T
deed, all our exchanges, both papers ntjd
magazines, are outspoken against the foqj
treachery, and are as united too in the
belief tl}at our danger is over, that we
are again united—that all differences
h»ve vanished with the (Jisclosuro qf this
schpme fif tfpachery.
Some, iqdeed, will be slow to believe
that the opposition are so willing to
abandon their time-honored (!) name of
Democrat. But when we reflect this
suggestion has come from the South, we
are not surprised at its adoption. A re
cent number of the Richmond
suggested that the name Democrat was
so associated yith that of Copperhead
that it he found advisable, if pos
sible, to avoid the odum thus attached !
While it is somewhat humiliating to be
thus reminded, by "their Southern
friends" of the great odium whieh attach
es to the Northern Democracy, as the
opponeuts of the war for the Union, to
us it is not surprising that they are will
ing to follow their suggestions. At any
rate it is now clear that the Philadelphia
Convention will result either in an abor
tion, or else iu the reorganszatioa of the
old Democratic party from Main to Geor
gia. A\ e, therefore, congratulate our
Democratic neighbors, that they are
about to be handed over to their old mas
ters—the Davis, the Toombs and Sli
dels ! laking ca'e of themselves has
been a troublesome business for them in
the last few years, of this they will now
be relieved.
Soul hern royalty.
While all the disloyal elements of the
South are going to be represented in the
August Convention, loyalists
of that seetiou have issued a call to their
people, requesting to h*ve delegates cho
sen who are to meet in Philadelphia in
September, to counsel a3 to their safety
and duty. This Convention is sustained
by such staunch Unionists us John M
Botts and Gov. Pierpont, ot Va., Gen.
Hamilton of Texas, and of such patriots
BB Gen. Stokes and Horace Mavuard of
Tenucssee. These uieu kuow that, should
the Democratic party be restored to pow
er, they would be banished from their
homes and be compelled U> take refuge
in the North- Royalty, per se t hence
forth wpuld be unknown to their section.
To avert this, therefore, they propose to
organize and do battle for their princi
ples and respective States, and they look
with unswerving faith to the Ilapublipup
party and its majority in Congress tosqve
them from the hap 4 q!' the destroyer.—
It is fpy the loyal people of the North to
t*ay, whether they shall be sustained Hnd
protected. This can only be done by
upholding the party which crushed their
enemies iu the field, and who stand
pledged to reward loyalty and puuisb
treason and traitors. Let u then, with
one voice, rally for Geary and the Union;
for a Republican Congress—rfor Repub
licans for office everywhere. Let us do
this and a bright future is before us, uot
only will "treason he made odious and
traitors puuished and impoverished," but
loyally will yet be made respectable in
the Southern country wljere it is to-day,
treated as a badge of dishonor.
W* Our neighbors of the Gazette are
writing a series of articles to prove that
the next U. S. Senator should come from
the West. It says it has been compelled
to pursue this oourse by reason of Col.
Forney s haven taking the stump as au
aspirant, for Senatorial honors. On gen
eral principles we have nothing to say
agaiist adhering to our own seetion for a
candidate, provided all else is equal.—
But we are noi of those who believe that
all Western Pennsylvania is embraced in
Allegheny oounty. Nor do we see even,
how Centre county can be excluded.; —
We have no idea therefore of the pro
priety of excluding such citizens as Gov.
Curtin from the list of distinguished gen
tlemcn, whose names will naturally come
before the West for their suffrages. Iu
deed the West—especially the North
west—lias always been for Curtin. And
iven paw, we notjye tht.t wherevpr
the has beep hrp.pght forward in
County Convention, he is the favored one,
as in the instances of Beaver, Lawrence
and Crawford counties, which have all
spoken in his favor.
While the Gazette has committed itself
to a Western candidate, it declines, as
yet to name him. The Chronicle, on the
other hand, is squarely out for Curtin, de
claring him to be the choice of the people
generally, and the soldiers in par'iuular.
It is not to be expected that, where there
is so many distinguished names put for
ward, every body will be for any one gen
tleman, however distinguished. Not
withstanding the effort that may be made
in the interest pf others however, and in
view of his great services and personal
popularity, both with civilians and sol
diere, we fiaye littje doubt that (no mat
ter which section of the State ne may
assigned to) Governor Curfin will be as
signed the post of honor. At any rate,
we are glad to see the (fftzette give the
subject of political equity jts attention.
And when it has done with the Sen T
ilto|ial question, we hope it will not ton-
ap examination of the equities ex
istfng in case of Allegheny ot. Butler
counties, so far as its congres«ional rela
tions are concerned. Its views of tfeye
equity of this case would be rea4 W'th
much interest by our peoplp.
Hair Our readers are referred to the
advertisement of the "HAMILTON GOLD
4W> SILVER Miijjfia COMPANY, of Ne
vals," which will be found iu upothec
colmpp. J AS. T. M'JytjKiN, Ksq., is
the Ag£ Qt for this pounty. From him
#pythipg further, that ia wis had can bp
learned in reference to this laudable en
terprise. ** I
OS" la our notice ot the Democratic
ticket, which we made in a late number
of the CITIZEN, in which we bespoke for
the unfortunate nominee* overwhelming
defeat, we omitted the name of one of the
victims. \Ve are told this gentleman is
claiming our failure to register him as an
evidence that we kuew he was likely to
share a better fate than his comrades. —
This is a grand mistake. The facts are,
we had been out in the country the day
of the Convention, and on returning home
in the evening, and after having made
diligent inquiry as to the nominees, wrote
the paragraph referred to. It iuibodied
all we knew at the fim.e of writing. No
one, with whom we had conversed, knew
who their nominee for Sheriff was; wo
therefore left it a blank, intending the
printers to fill it up if they knew. But
as the fact did not come to the knowledge
even of the printers before going to press,
it was passed ove-. In faet, there was so
little interest manifested by the people in
the doings of the Convention, that it re
quired a person to make quite an effort
before he could learn anything about its
doings. It is quite a matter of merri
ment indeed, to observe that one or two
of these Democratic (!) candidates are
realy in earnest, as though they had some
earthly chance o( success, while every
body but themselves kuow that they have
no more chance of reaching the es for
which they -are named, than Jeff. Davis
has of reaching Paradise. Their ill ad
vised efforts to gain fayor would seem to
exhibit (liko IWdy's bull in the fair)
" more courage than conduct." Not a
man of them will be within a gun shot of
victory. And in all this we mean noth
ing disrespectful of these gentlemen per
sonally—that would be quite unnecessary,
as their political relations are all sufljeiept
for their overwhelming defeat. " Four
years of war a 112. ilure" v(i!| copffont tlietn
on every corner, 112 hey may get the peo
ple's commiseration, but pot thw sup
port.
The fallowing call is gotten up,
We presume, as a counter movement of
the August convention. It will doubt
less gather around it the loyal sentiment
of the country, both North and South.
It is vouched in no unmeaning phrases:
To the Loyal Unionist s of the South :
The great issue is upon us. The ma
jority in Congress and its supporters firm
ly declare that the rights of the citizen,
enumerated in the Constitution and estab
j lishpii hy supreme lqw. must be main
tained inviolate. Rebels and liebel sym
pathizers assert that the rights of the
citizen must belong to the States alone,
; ud under such regulations as the respec
tive States choose voluutarily to prescribe.
We have seen this doctrine of State sov
ereignty carried out in its practical re
sults, until authority in Congress was de
nied, the Union temporarily destroyed,
the constitutional of the citizens
of the South nearly annihilated, and the
land desolated by civil war. The time
has como whyi the structure of Southern
Stages' Governments must be laid on con
stitutional principles, or the despotism
growu up under an atrocious leadership
be permitted to remain. We know of no
other plan than that Congress, under its
constitutional powers, shall now exercise
its authority to establish the princjpje
whereby protection is made coextensive
with citizenship. We maintain that no
S(!ate, cithor by its organic law or legis
lation, can ma|o transgression pn the
rights ot the citizen legitimate. Wo de
maud, and ask you to concur in demand
ing, protection to every citizen of the
great Republic ou the basis of equality
before the la\v, aud further, that no State
government should bo recognized as le
gitimate under the Constitution in so far
a* it does uot by its organic law make im
partial protection full and complete.—
Under the doctriue of State Sovereignty,
with Rebels in the fonjground controlling
Southern Legislatures, aud embittered hy
disappointment ip their schemes to des
troy th 6 Union, there will be no safety
lor the loynl element of the South. Our
reliaupu fur protection is now on Con
gress, and the groat Union party that has
stood, and is standing by the nationality,
by i he constitutional rights of the citizen,
aud by the benificient principles of free
government. I'or the purpose of bring
ing the loyal Unionists of the South into
conjunctive action with the true friends
cf Republican government of the North,
we invite you to send delegates in goodly
numbers from Southern States, includ
ing, Missouri, Kentucky, West Y'rginia,
Maryland and Delaware, to meet at In
dependence Ilall, in the City of Philadel
phia, op the first Monday of September
next. It is proposed that we should meet
at that time to recommend measures for
the establishment of such goverpmept in
the South as accords with apd protects
the rights of all citizens. We trust this
call will be responded to by numerous
delegation of such aa represent the true
loyalty of the Sputh—that kind of gov
ernment which gives full protection toall
the rights of the citizens, such as our
fathers intended, and we claim as our
birthright. Either the lovers of consti
tutional liberty mqst rqle the nation, or
rebeU and theip sympathizers be permit

officers and five huudred prisoners.

Turnau, was of a very spirited character,
and lasted until midnight. Tho troops
engaged were the Prussian division under
General Petsehample. fhe Prussians

The Prussian chambers w II probably be
couvoked for the 18th of July.
VIENNA, June 27. —Bcnedsk'»pnssive

have the Federal troops form a junction
with his army, and also (q a\low the
Prussians to advance ipto Bohemia, so
that he may cut qfif retreat.

COMPANY OF This Company
WAS ESTABLISHED W and has grown
in proportions which entitle it to a first
rnnK among tho lnauulaoturingenterprises
of tho New World. It employs between
90# and 1,000 artizans of superior skill
aud character, and a largo and thriving
town has grown up in its vicinity. THE
factory povcrs over three acres of GFO.MID,
and as an illustration pf ITS (.STENT, we
may v.:ention that it is supplied with
more than 60 miles of iron pipes and pro
duces an aggregate of nearly 75,000
watches per annum. The founders of
this Company believed that the same del- J
icate mechanical processes which had pro
duced such remarkably perfect results in
LARGER machines, might be NPEJICD with
even greater advantage to tI»P production
of the watolv Tl\e foreign time-pieces
are made principally by hand, and except
when of high tost, an .imperfect article,
oltsn out of repair, and of little value is
the result. Abroad, these mysterious and
i'nlinitesimal organs which, when aggre
gated, produce the watch, are the fruit of
slow and toilsome manual processes. In
tho results, TJI&RO MUST qf course be lack
of that perfect uniformity which is 'ndis
pensable for correct tiine-kcepiug. 'J'he
constituent parts of the American watch,
on the other hand, aro fashioned by the
most delicate and accurate machinery. —

A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicine!
DR. MAOQIEL is the founder of a new
Medical System ! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses enfeeble the
stomach and paralyse the bowels, must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to, two
of hig aud cures the
most virulent sores with - l box or so of his
wondorful and all-healiug Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of tho day. Extraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills and Salvo have opened
tlio eyes of the public to the inefficiency
of the (so called) remedies of others, and
upon which people have so long blindly
depended. Maggiel's Pills are notqf the
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
creates an appetite, and rejder the spirits
light and buoyant! There is flo griping,
and no reaction in the FortiJ pf constipa
tion. If the liver is nffccted, ifs func
tions are restored; aid if tjie peryou*
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes ttyp metjieiqes very
desirable for thp of delioate fe
males. Ulcerous and eruptive diseases
are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel s Salve. In
fapt, it is hete announced that Maooiel's
BILIOUS, DYSPEPTIC AND DIARRHEA
PILLS cure where all others fail. Whilp
for Burns, Scalds, Chilblaiqg, Cuts and
all abrasions of the
SALVE is infalliable. Sold by J.
