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

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.

give utterance to our solemn convititionsiand4
our deliberate judgment, touching the matters
herein set forth, that they may serve.for the
guidance of all over _whom the Le rd Christ
has given us any office of instruction, or any
power of Government.
1 Peace is amongst the very highest tem
poral blessings of the Church, as well as of
all mankind : and public order is one of the
tirsLueeessities of the spiritual as well as of
the civil commonwealth. 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

THURSVAY )101lNISO, June 5, 185'2
The following official despatch from Gen
llalleck, has just been received at the War
Department,• and has been telegraphed by
Secretary Stanton, to the Ilovernurs of every
loyal State.
Gen. Pope, with 40,000 men, is now 40
miles south of Corinth, pinching the - enemy
hard. Ifo has already captured 10,000 pri
oners, and 15,090 stand of arms. Thousands
of the enemy threw away their arms. A far
mer says that when Beauregard learned that
Col. E liott had cut the railroad, on his line
of retreat, he became frantic, and told his men
to save themselves the best say they could. We
have captured nine locomotives, and a num
ber of cars, and are using the railroad. The
result is all I could desire.
Equally good news is expected soon from
McClellan at Richmond.

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.
Our cavalry are seeking for the enemy.

Railroad, while in the net or burning the
bridge al that. point. Forty prisoners were
captured.
The enmny's rear guard deatroyed th e
railroad depot. at Corinth, and a church, and
intended to destroy the entire villa g e, but
the inhabitants saved some filly of the lions
cs• A. lets bales of cotton were consumed.
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.
