JOHN W. GEARY, OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY. To the Soldiers of Pennsylvania HARRISBURG, May 1. Mil In obedience to the axtbority vested Hr nib by a resolution adopted by the Conven. Lion of Soldiers, held in this i•ity, on the eighth day of March, 1866, I do hereby re= quest the honorably discharged soldiers d Pennsylvania to meet in their respective Legislative district, and elect delegates, not exceeding five in number, to represent their district in a Soldiers' Convention, to he held in the city of Pittsburg, on Tuesday, the fifth of June next, at ten o'clock, A. 11. Where any Representative district com prises more than one county, the manner of electing the delcgittes is respectfully referred to the soldiers of the district, for each con ference as will result in a fair representation of each county. Citizens who have borne arms in defense of the nation against treason have especial interest in tile purpose of this Convention, and it is desireable that as full a representa tion to the brave defenders of the country as possible should be secured on this occa sion. J. F. HARTRANFT, Late Brevet Mnjor Generul, U. S. A. The Soldier's Cow.vention. Somebody sent to our office this morning what purports to be the proceedings of the soldiers convention held in Carlisle on Mon day. As we do not recognize the assemblage spoken of in this report as anything but a disorderly mob in the interest of a few local copperhead politicians, we shall not disgrace our column- , by giving it place. Tiic pro ceedings of the only soldiers convention worthy of name will be found in another coluinn. That any body Of men claiming to have such resolutions as aro embodied in the pro ceedings alluded to is such a palpable absur dity and such a gross insult to our returned soldiers that we cannot lend our aid to its circulation. The idea of interfering with the genuine soldiers convention and thereby making cap ital for that skulking enemy of the soldiers and the country—HIESTER CLYMER, was conceived by a' 'Copperhead who hails from the upper• et d of our county and was carried into effect by him in the following manner. He secured ale of the HERALI) the !lets of drarted men and also the Provost Marshal's list of deserters. From these lists a third was carefully made out containing all the names of those who could he relied upon to vote the copperhead ticket. (In Saturday and Sunday preceding the con voltiuti, these mill WON; notified by messen gers hired for the purpose, to attend the con vention. Arriving in town on Monday morning this party assembled in the Court certained that if admitted to seats in the convention, they would be,strolig enough to defeat its objects and control it to the base use of endorsing the copperhead nomination for Governor. Then with officers elected resolutions prepared and a general plan of operations concocted they marched in a body to the ball. But too 11111C11 vine had been occupied by these preliminary arrangements for when the disorganizers reached the hall it was more than half an hour after the time specified in the call and the convention had regularly organized and was proceeding to business. Foiled in their well-laid scheme to surprise the convention, nothing was left but to break it up, which limy at once at tempted by removing the regularly elected officers and substituting the roster agreed upon in the Court House. As soon Its it be came manifest that the business could not be transacted amid the uproar and confusion which ensued, the soldiers convention with drew, notifying -the delegates that an ad journed meeting would be held in the saint, place at 2 o'clock P. N. at which time it did reassemble and finish its business as the, pro ceedings published in to day's paper exhibit. Left. to their own impulses the copper heads elaborated the bastard 'proceedings which we have referred to in the beginning, and have of course trumpeted them abroad as the voice of the soldiers of Cumberlaiid County. Never was there a baser fraud per petrated in the name of nn honorable ; but it is one which will deceive nobody and will only call down upon the heads of its authors the maledictions of every honest man. It was a cowardlywitcmu t t, to disgrace the cloth, which will recoil with unspeakable dis grace upon the heads of its authors. Gen. KNIPE, fir:pointed Postmaster of Harrisburg, by President JOHNSON, has been confirmed, by the Rump Senate, and he has taken possession of the office. Good bye, Bergner. The President has finid that "trea son must be made odious." and the removal of the "Hessian" is an evidence that he meant what ho Volunteer: Gee,.

But, sir, there is another question that suggests 11•Seft 111 this connection. Kansas, 'luring the last Congress, applied for admis sion into the Union. She assumed to be a State; and the difficulty in the way was a provision in her constitution and the manner if its adoption. 'We did not let Kansas in. We did not question her being a State; but on account of the manner or forming her constitution and its provisions, we kept Kansas out. Whet is Kansas now? ls she a Slate 'iv is she a Territory ? Does she re vert buck to her territorial condition of pupilage?? (Jr, having been a State, and liaising applied for admissi , n, and been re fused, is she standing nut a ate?

Wo have seldom seen the intense hatred of the - 'rebel 'iliatherith.ra—t!:Wilieirtrnieli brethren More strikingly eitehiplitleeilhan' in the following extract from a recent' terial in the Richmond Whig "The people of the Staab would rather'•he governed by martial law, severely adritinit tered by unsympathizing strangers, than see. themselves subjected to the authority of that handful of time servers, place-seekers and sneaks among them, but hot of them, who call themselves Union men, and NVotild call themselves anythin r if by so doing they could get office. Such power will never -be given them, if it depends upon the consent of the southern people," The men who are thus accused' -eiting•to the Union when all around thhm was dark with rebellion ; when persecution in every form was the lot of all who would. still fa vor the fortunes of the great reptiblic,• anti when honors, etnoluments, offices and favors were far distant. Yet the Richmond Whig new cans teem "time severs, phtea-lrevs and sneaks."• That they had to wait pa tiently for the triumph of the Union, and had faith that it would come, did not make them time-servers, though it did render lin: ble to the charge those who fell in with 're bellion because it was popular at the south, of whom every man In the Richmond Whig concern is a very fair specimen. That the Union men of the south endured suffering of every description, persecution, robbery, inu it lotion, and even death itself, for the mere hope of Office under the Union restored, is incredible, and no man but a crazy rebel would make such a charge. The survivors of those who did so suffer, and yet maintain ed their faith unimpaired, deserve all the of fices we can give them, and more too. On tlw other hand, those southern men who joined the rebellion without believing in it, were they not place-seekers ? and does not the peculiar language used by the IPh7g show that they are still so ? As for the south ern l'nfon men ."oaks. the Charge' might with the same consistency be made a gainst the early Christians, who were obliged to -sneak" into hiding places in the cata combs, the caves of the mountains, and wherever else they Could hide themselves to escape persecution. The class of which the is the organ affect now to.have been Union men, and yet had not the courage to do this during the war for the sake of the Union Are they not worse "sneaks" now than ever the Union men were during the civil war? Are they not trying to "sneak" into loyalty as they'Sneaked into rebellion ? Our labors in the great work of recon struction are very much obstructed by the universal indisposition of the loyal north to abandon the faithful Union men of the south to the tender mercies of the rebels, who hate then with a venomous and enduring hatred that niust not be trusted with the means Of vengeance. Wherever a large community of loyal men have the control of a large see tion of a State, as in east Tennessee, we h”ln by hni v i ei them to crept their territory into a State. If the rebels 'et the south will .;till persist in their hatred and disloyalty, we would cat ofr from th6ir States such regions lei southwestern Virginiu, east ern Oarolina, northern Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, and eastern Tennessee and Kentucky. We are not altogether as powerless ilt this matter as the rebels seem to imagine. We have the means of protecting the southern Union men, and it is our duty to do so. It would be cruel to abandori them dow to the malevolence of such persons as this writer in the Whig, who call them "sneaks" for seek ing refuge from persecution. We presume that something of this spirit of detemink-' Lion to stand by those' who stood by us ani mates Congress in itS pres(nt course, and it is natural enough, under the circumstances, particularly as it is very difficult to suggeSt till alternative course that is wise or patriotic. .1 ENT.
