IL will appear in our next issue The Democratic Convention The Breckinridgers of this county held gathering in the Court House, on Monday last. After pow-wowing for some time, they went lute an election for delegate to the State Convention, when Judge Haeautts was elect ed.over Woe. It, GORGAS, (WllO was the candi date of those in favor of sustaining the Ad ministration in prosecuting the war,) by a vote of 25 to 2: A committee tO -cTraftrmio lutions was appointed; which committee, after retiring for a few minutes reported that they deemed it impolitic to report any resolutions at this time. The delegate elect, by way of put_ Ling himself fairly_before the loyal sentiment of this district, declared publielf, end stated that he wished his name to go with the avowal —"niat there was not an honest 711(1-n in lire ,n the entire Republican party, with the r.rception of President Lincoln." Seeing that the Presi• dent has lately assumed all the responsibility of the acts of his cabinet, we can't exactly see how_ the qualification will exempt him This Is the voice of the authorized represen tative of the Democratic party of Cumberland county. on this issue we aro prepared to meet them: The Army Vote Unconstitutional. The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, sit ting at Harrisburg, last week, last., ren dered a dooision affirming the army vote at the last State election to be unconstitutional and void. The issue was brought before the Court in the ease of a soldier named Joseph Kunzmon, indicted in Philadelphia for cog.- lag an illegal ',vote. He was tried before Judge Allison, who deplored that as the elec tion law was in itself unconstitutional, there oould be no penalty inflicted for its violation. The District Attorney then appealed to the Supreme Court, where other issues of the same kind wore pending at the time, The question was argued by tho ablest lawyers of Philadelphia, and the judgment of the Court was coneurred •in by Justices Woodward and Riad, and dissented from by Justice Thorap sen.,_:__The..effeot.of-this decision, - of-Veurse, will-be to prevent any voting in the camps, hereafter. In Philadelphia, when this vote rejookid, John,Thompson will be the legally eleoted Sheriff, instead of Robert Ewing, and Win, C. Stevenson will be th'e Clerk of the Orphante Court instead of Mr. Lawrence. It is said that the decision will also change the political oharaotor of the City Cautions. In several dainties of the interior, the incum bentsof local offices will.be changed, the con; teseentior District Attorney in Luzerne coon. tygaining his case.

[Reformer, Trenton, N. J. srizE REBELLION: Tho rebels have-a gloomy. time of it.- The retreat of Banks last`week, afforded them a' ray of sun shine, and it might be seen gleam. lug in the faces of such " . democratic Union lien," as belonged to the Breoltiuridge churob,, and who yet ,, oling to it. But clouds noon again darken' the horizon. The - rehal has no sooner shouted " violory," than ho, with all his host, is obliged to take his heels—atid fly for his life. Ile may yet pay dear for his temerity, if ho has not always done so. The Union troops have at least recaptured Mar tinsburg, Winchester, and Front Royal—and taken one hundred and fifty prisoners. The news nowhere is encouraging to the rebels. At Corinth, where Beauregard was entrenched behind his big guns, his situation has become untenable—arid- he---has, been obliged to decamp. This renders the city of Memphis and probably the Mississippi river untenable. Corinth was the great strategic point and commanded several rai lroads. At Richmond the rebels are driven to the last extremity. McClellan 'is gathering his, folds around them tighter and tighter. They are in a dilemma—whether to fight or retreat. By the news of yesterday, it will be seen they resolved on Sunday to try the former. But it was of no avail. The Union forces though fiercely assailed—faltering at first—held their ground, and drove back the rebel cohorts with terrible slaughter. A city paper, recounting the news says it is full of good omens, and will gladden the hearts which were so recently east down by the disastrous retreat from the Shenandoah valley. We are again successful at all points. Our flag waves triumphantly over Martins burg, Front Royal and Corinth, the rebels have abandoned their gunboats on the Mis sissippi, made preparations to evacuate their fortifications there and are reported—though this is probably mere anticipation of what is sure to come—to have given up Richmond and Memphis. The United States forces west of the Mississippi have cape tired Little Rock, and the Governor an 1 State Legislature of Arkansas" have been scattered to the four winds. Nor is this all. We have good news from every quarter,. The Canal and Sound route of navigation betvircem Norfolk - and Roanoke Island has been opened and vessels with our troops have passed through, so that Burnside and Wool are in communication. At Norfolk -two thousand oitizens have -voluntarily taken the oath of allegiance, and a large Union meeting was to be held. All the preparations for attack on Mobile had at the last accounts been made, and we may 80011 hear of heavy fighting there. NATIONAL EXPENDITURES In the House of Representatives, on the 27th inst Mr• Dawes of Massachusetts, re. plied to 'Mr. Voorhees' remarks on a former day, when this latter condemne 1, in his re view, what he characterized as au unsound, false and ruinous system of finance, imposed on the people within the la-t twelve months• After reading Mr. Voorhees array of figures as to the assumed publicdebt and its increas ing and alarming magnitude, Mr• Dawes remarked, that from the reliable data, the expenditures of all the Departments of the Government, outside of the Army and Navy, since the Administration Caine into power aro as follows:—For the Interior Depart ment, Indians and Pensions to the 22d of May, $3 (381,860 ; civil list, foreign inter course and miscellaneous, $21,685,08) making a t .tal of nearly $25,:167,000. The expenditures of the War Department during that time amo•m_trd to $:.17.1,472,000 ; Navy Depart:it - wilt, Toll the a'a ne trine, $12,055,000, or a total of $ll6, 227,000 ' Mr. Dawes said that the average daily ex penditures of thc,;lYar Department has been $807,205, and adding the daily average of the Navy, making a daily average fur both Departments of $998,117. No requisitions aro unpaid, excepting of a few thousand for illegality or disloyalty.—The payments, last Thursday, were only $961,917, yet the day after, when the Paymasters same in, the ex penditures wore $2 000,000, but on Saturday only $500,000. So the expenditures of the Government, up to the 221 day of May lest, in round numbers, wore, for military, 374,- 000,000 ; for the navy, $42,000,000, and all other expenditures. $25,000,000—a total of $141,500,000 from the 4th of March, 1861, till the 22d of May, 1862, when the public debt, including $70,000,000 of old debt be. quenthed by Buchanan, amounted, in the aggregate, on Friday last, to $481,796,145. OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF TWO WITNESSES. By request of a subscriber we subjoin the authoritative deliverances of both branches of the Presbyterian churoh recently convened in general assembly at Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, as to the character of the present war, and the duties of all men professing obedience to Christ in the present condition of our Na tional affairs. It is not often—alas ! that it should be so seldom—that the voice of truth in denuncia tion of wickedness in high places, and in ex hortation to christian duty coming from the commissioned heralds - of the Church of god, id diutli Beard from the house tops—affrighted by the cry of noisy and threatening dema gogues, that religion has nothing to do with politics, the claims of righteousness and truth have in the past been suffered to yield to fan cied 'and sinful expediency. Embassadors of the nation abroad, in violation of every ohris tian precept, have been permitted to degrade our n Mortal morally and to repudiate maxims of right sanctioned by the wisdom and expo donee of ages. Authorities at home have been allowed to foster and provoke war by pi ratical invasions of neighboring foreign ter ritory. All this and much more equally offensive in the sight of Ileaveri, we say has occurred alniost without complaint and alto gether without authoritative rebuke. We are glad to see that this portion of the church has taken courage to epeak,'nnd rejoice to boar the trumpet' tones' in, whiCh 'its detestation of 'wicked men in rebellion, and.thelr wicked ahettorts in loyal ?sates are denounced. '• . It will be obseryed by: the resider that the rebellion of Absalom is . overlooked as want• ing -ia- atreoity that or which they are• speaking, And thaLthe . 04iparison is with that of the fallen` angels who 'remain to this hour at 'war, with GOd and man.

Peace has been wickedly superseded by war, in its worst form, throughout the whole land ; and public order has been wickedly superseded by re bellion, anarchy, and violence, in the whole Southern portion of the Union. All thie - hes been brought. to pass in a disloyal and trai torous attempt to overthrow the National Gov ern men kby-tuilitary forties -and -tov ide_the nation contrary to the wishes of the immense majority of the p ople of the nation, and with out satisfactory evidence that the majority of the people in whom the local sovereignity re sided, even in the States which revolted, ever authorized any such proceeding or ever ap proved the fraud and violence by which this horrible treason has achieved whatever sun cons it had. This whole treason, rebellion, anarchy, fraud, ?Ind violence is utterly cots trary to the dictates of natural religion and morality, and is plainly condemned by the re vealed will of God. It is the clear and sol emn duty of the National Government to pre serve, at whatever cost, the National Union and Constitution, to maintain the laws in their supremacy, to crush force by force, and to re store the reign of public order and peace to the entire nation, by whatever lawful means that are necessary thereunto. And it is the bounden duty of all people who compose thia great nation. each one in his several place and degree, to uphold the Federal Government, and every State Government, and all persons in authority, whether'civil or military, in rill their lawful and proper acts', unto the end herein before set forth 11. The Church Of Christ has no authority from him to make rebellion, or to counsel treason, or to favor anarchy in any case what r ever. On the contrary, every follower of f Christ has the personal liberty bestowed on liim by Christ • to submit, for the sake of Christ, accordino. ' to his own conscientious sense of du. ty, to whatever Government, however had, under which his lot may lie cost. lint while patient suffering for Christ's sake can never I be sinful, treason, rebellion, and anarchy limy I be sinful—and, probably, are always and nee essarily sinful, in all free countries, where the power to change the Government by vo lig, In- the place-of force„ exists as a, coolitiMon right constitutionally secured to the people, who are sovereign. If, in any ease. treason. rebellion and anarchy can possibly be sinful, they are so in the ease now desolating large ' portions of this nation and laying waste great numbers of Christian congreg,ttieris, and fit tally obstructing every good word and work, !to those regions. To the Christian people, scattered throughout those uulortunam re gions, and who have been lea of God to have any hand in bringing on these terrible calam ities, we earnestly address words of ex horta. lion and rebuke ne unto brethren who - have sinned exceedingly, and wham Gad calla to repentanee by fearful judgments. To those is like eircumstances who are not chargeable with the sins which have brought seal' calam ities upon the Mad, hut who have chosen, in the exercise of their Christian liberty, to stand iu their lot, and' sutler, we address words of affectionate sympathy, prayitAGuil to bring them otfoonquerors. To those in like eir• cumstances, who have taken their lives in their hands and risked all for their country and for conscience sake, tee say we love such with all our beget, and bless God such wlt misses were found in the time oft hick darkness. We fear, and we record it with great grief, that the Church of God and the Christian peo pie, to a great extent 'old throughout all the revolted States. have done many things that ought not to have been done, and have left undone much that ought to have been done, is this time of trial, rebuke and blasphemy but concerning the wide schism which ifs re ported to have occurred in many Southern Synods, this Assembly will talto:no iictitl-n at this time. It declares, however, its fixed pur pose, under all eircuinstnnees, to labor for he extension and t he permanent maintain:ince of the Chinch under its care, in every part. of the United Stales. Schism, Bo far as it may exist, vie hope lo see healed. Ifthat caunot be, it will he disregarded. 111. We record our gratitude to God fur the prevailing unity elsentitneut, soul general in ternal peace which have characterized the Church in the Status that have not revolted, embracing a great majority of the ministers,. congregations, and people tinder our cape It nifty still be called, with emphasis, a loyal, orthodox, and pious Church ; and all its acts works indicate its right lea title so noble. l,et us strive for divine grace to maintain that good report. In some respects the interests ta . the Church of God are very different from ibosc of all civil institutions. Whatever may befall this, or any other nation, the Church of Christ must abide on earth, triumphant even over the gates of hell It is, therefore, of supreme importance that the Church should guard itself froth internal alienations nod founded upon questions nod interests that are external as to her, and which ought not by their necessary workings to cause her fate to depend on the fate of things less im portant and less enduring than herself. turbers of the Church ought not to be allowed; especially disturbers of the Chore') in States that never revolted, or that have been cleared of armed rebels ; disturbers who, under many false pretexts, may promote discontent, dis loyalty, and general alienation, tending to the 111.1501.11ing of ministers, to local schisms, and to manifold trouble. Lot a spirit of quiet ness, of mutual forbearance, and of ready obedience to authority, both civil and ecclesi astical, illustrate the loyalty, the orthodoxy, and the piety of the Church. It is more es• peOlally to ministers of the Gospel, and, amongst them, particularly to any whose first impressions had been, on any accltunt„favor able to the military revolution which -has been at tempted,land which God's providence Eitis''been hitherto so signally rebuked, that those deci sive considerations ought to be 101(kt:toed-- And in the name and by the authority of the Lord Jesus, we earnestly exhort all who love God or fear his wrath to turn a deaf ear to all counsels and suggestions that tend toward a reaction favorable to disloyalty, schism or diet urbanee„either in the Church or- iu the country. There is hardly anything more in excusable connected with the frightful eon (Tinley against which we testify,. than the conduct of theie office bearers and members of the Church who, although citizens of loyal States, and subject to the control of loyal Presbyteries and Synods, have-been faithless to authority, human and- divine, to which they owed, subjection. Nor should any to whom this deliverance may come fail to bear in mind that it is net Wiry' their outward conduct con cerning which tliey•ought to take heed ; but it, is also, and especially their heart, their temper, and their motives, in the sight of God, and toward the free and beneficent. civil Gov• ernment which he has blessed us withal, and toward the spiritual sommonivealth to which they are subject in the Lord. In all these re spects we must all . give an •aceount to God-in the great day., _And.it-is-in.--vient-of-our-own dread responeibtlity, to.the Judge of quick and dead that wo now make this deliverance.

PARTICULARS OF THE EVAC UATION. Gen. s Beadquarlers., IVaf 30'.— During nearly all last night, the mcving of cars and the suppressed sound of steam whistles betokened that some movement was going on in the enemy's camp, but this not being any extimordinniy occurrence, it was not conside:ed worthy of more than a pav lug remark. About 5 o'clock this morning, several ex. plosion's were distinctly heard. Immediate ly afterwards, skirddshers were thrown out, and a general advance ot the United States Army commenced, when it was found that the enemy bud left his western stronghold and fled. A very large amount of railroad iron was left untonehed. There being some twelve or fifteen tracks of railroad running from the depot to the entrenchments with side tracks and switches, the enemy was enabled to move oft' with great rapidity. From all information that can be gleaned from the priso,,eri taken, it is thougnt that the evacuation was commenced at sundown last night, the enemy retreating in three di• rections, east, west, a d south. Beauregard stated to the citizens of Cor inth last night that •he intended to throw himself on both—onrtianks. At this hour, Coriuth i 3 held by our army as an outpost.

They also broke open !flatly of the stores and burned the. contelos. A. large force of U. S. cavalry, tunier Elliott, was sent out on Wednesday moph ing by a c commis route, to destroy a bridge on the Mobile and Ohio „Railroad, south of Corinth. Though this expedition has • not yet returned, we learn from the prisoners that it was Icuown in Corinth last night that a largo brbf,ze had balm destroyed forty miles south by a body of our cu.ulrv. . They also stale that one of the "_ U pounder Parrott shells tired !ruin Gen. Pope's column in the light of yn•sterda'y exploded in their camps, killing eighty - men and a hundred horses, and that a $0 pounder Parrott shell thrown into Corinth as an experiment. by Gen. Pope, destroyed a locomotive and killed its engineer. It is thotight among military men that the destruction of' the bridge south of Corinth, the uncomfortable pr, , ximity pt our f a ili ng shells, and the possibility it P e dur a l success on the Mississippi, were the causes or tht) eVaernation.
