This law which passed the Legislature du ring the last session, and was approved by the Governor on (he 21st of April, 1858, would make more ihan. two pages of our pa per, and is therefore entirely too voluminous for publication in the columns of a newspa per. Our readers must be content with the following synopsis of its more important pro visions, which we copy from the Pittsburg Dispatch : The persons subject and exempt frem nii liita duty are as heretofore. The enrollment is made by assessors, at their usual time of assessing, by assessing a tax of fifty cents upon all not exempt by law ; leaving notice of such enrollment at their plsces of residence or business, and posting up three copies of the list, with notice of the time and placs of hearing appeals from assessment. Exempts are to make oath of their exemption, to be - Iod by assessors in the commissioners' office, the legality thereof to be decided by commis sioners, who shall file a certified list of ex empts for future guidance of assessors. As scssors make oath to their Militia roll as cor rect, and furnish a copy to commissioners and brigade inspector and report to the comman dant of the brigade the names of those refu sing information, or making false statements, who shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor. All officers engaged in enrolling or assessing shall pursue the instructions of the Adjutant General and perform their duties, or be pun ished as for a misdemeanor . The commutation cf fifty cents is to be col lected as other taxes, and go to the militia fund of the county. Captains of volunteer companies shall (within five days after the first Monday in May) deliver alphabetical rolls to the brigade inspector and commission ers also a sworn list of honorary members who have paid fifty ceLts to the company funds, which shall exempt such person from ! militia tax and commanders of brigades and , companies may remit by certificate a tax as sessed erroneously. The collectors arc re quired to make oath of diligence in'collectir g , militia tax. County Treasurers shall keep an account of the militia fund in suitable books. It shall be expended on orders of a board of officers, countersigned by the commander of the bri gade specifying the purpose and such board shall seUle the accounts of county or city of ficers.' Taxes unpaid shall be added to the next year's assessment. Clerk of Commissioners fchall report number enrolled to Adjutant Gen eral. Assessors to be paid as for other as sessments, treasurer one per cent., collectors same as for other taxes. Section four relates to the organization of the Militia, and their uniform and discipline. The State is divided into twenty divisions, of which we need only give the following : "Sixteenth division 3edford, Somerset, Cambria and Blair. Seventeenth division Westmorland, Fayette, Washington and Green. Eighteenth division Allegheny, Armstrong, Indiana, and Jefferson. Nine teenth division Heaver, I'utler. Mercer and Lawrence, Twentieth division Crawford, Erie Venango and Warren. "Each county in this Commonwealth shall be a separate brigade, and shall be numbered in the divisions to which they severally be loDg by the brigade inspectors and brigadier generals : lyrovided, That the city of Phila delphia shall bo divided into three brigades, as at present established. "Each brigade, regiment, battalion, squad ron troop and company fehall conform as near as possible to the regulations of the United States, but a regiment may consist of five companies." Each company shall consist of at least thirty-two non commissioned officers and private fully uniformed and equipped the uniforms of each regiment or battalhon to be as nearly similar as possible. The section provides al so for the organization of companies into bat tallions and brigades, and for the election of Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels, Majors, Brig adier Generals and Brigade Inspectors. Section five relates to elections and appoint ments of officers, and the sixth to tho Division, Brigade and Regimental staff. "Tc each brigade their will be one Brigade Inspector, with the rank of Major, who shall be elec ted for the term of five years from the date of his commission, and be elected in the same manner as Brigadier Generals aro elected-; the present Brigade Inspectors to remain in office until the expiration of .their commis sions." The salary of tho Brigade Inspec tor is fixed at 150 per annum; and his du ties aro fully and clearly defined. Sec. seven relates to the organization reg ulation and duties of Bands of musicians. Sec. eight refers to tho issuing and keep in"' of arms and caaip equipage. It requires that every organized company shall cract or rent an armory, for the safe keeping of arms and camp equipage,' to be under the super vision of the commanding officer; the rent not. to exceed 250 per annum in the city of Phil adelphia ; 200 in Allegheny county and llarrisburg, Lancaster, Heading and Potts- ville ; and 10$ in other districts ; to be paid out of the military fund of the several bri gades. Arms nd equipage1, when required for encamnmenfe. to be furnished bv the Ad jutant GeneraLlit the expense of the State. Section nine" telates to parades and rendez vous. It requires all organized companies to parade annually "by regiment, battalion, or company, at such time and place between the first day of May and the first day of Oc tober, as the Brigade Inspector shall order and direct for the purpose of discipline, in spection." But "in lieu of sail annual pa rade, the commanding officer of the brigade may order his brigade any regiment, battal ion, or company thereof uninformed aud equiped, to parade and encamp for not to ex ceed six consecutive days, between the first days of May rnd October in each year; and all parades and encampments Loll in pursu ance of this act, shall bo governed by the rules and regulations of the army of the United States, and at least twenty das pre vious notice of any such parade and encamp ment shall be given to the Brigade Inspector by the commanding officer." "In addition to the annual parade or en campment herein specified, the. commanding officer of a regiment or battallion may order the military forces under his command to pa rade by battalion or regiment at such time aud place as he may order not exceeding twice in any one year, nor longer than one day at any one time." "Tho commanding officers of companies in any city or incorporated borough may, in ad dition to the annual parade required by this act, require their companies to meet for pa rade at such time and place as thcjr shall deem proper, not to exceed six times iu any ono year, all other companies not to exceed four times in any one year; but no officer or mem ber shall receive pay for parading oftcner than six times in any one year." All officers, non-commissioned officers, mu sicians and privates of any uniformed compa ny or troop to receive one dollar and fifty cents for every day actually on duty, and for each horse used by them two dollars per day," Section ten provides for the orgunizaiion of Brigade Boards of Auditors, in each bri gade, for the auditing and settling of ac- counts. Section eleven provides for the calling out of the militia in cases of invasion, insurrec tions, riots, breaches of the peace, &c , for their suppression, and defines the duties of officers and men on such occasions "shall each receive the compensation of one dollar and fifty cents per day: and all commissioned officers the same compensation as is paid to officers of the army of-tho United States, to gether will all necessary rations and forage, and for the horses of the mounted me a one dollar per day. Section thirteen provides for the organiza tions of Courts of Inquiry and Courts Mar tial for the trial of officers ucd. privates ou charges of improper and unmilitary conduct. Section fourteen fixes the fines and penal ties for violation of the several provisions of the act, and provides for collections in cases of conviction. Section fifteen relates to the Grand Staff, and provides ""that the grand - staff of the militia of this Commonwealth shall, (in ad dition to the Commande-in Chief, who shall have twenty Aids, being one in each division with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, appoin ted and commissioned by him for the term of Lis office, and no person shall be elligiblc to this appointment by the Governor, who shall not have previously held the commission of Captain,') consist of an Adjutant General, who shall, until otherwise ordered, act as Quartermaster General, Commissary General, Inspector General, Paymaster Gencial, Judge Advocate, General and Engineer in Chief, with the rank of Lieutenant .Colonel, who shall be appointed and commissioned by the Commander-in-Chief, for three years from and after the passage of this act, and who shall have his office located at llarrisburg, with the other departments of tho State." The section defines the duties of the several officers of the staff, and for the . appointment by the Commander-in-Chief, of a military Storekeeper for each Arsenal, whose salary shall be three hundred dollars per annum. The salary of the Ajutaut General is fixed at six hundred dollars, to be pail out of the military fund; and all other salaries and mil itary expenses to be paid out of the same fund. , -. ... The sixteenth, and last seetiou, provides. that the Secretary of the Comuioawealth tbill cause a sufficient number of thia act, to printed iu pamphlet form, properly indexed, to furnish every commissioned officer, county and city commissioners, assessors, collectors, and receivers of taxes, with a copy thereof; and also such rules and regulations as may iu pursuance hereof be made and established by the commande-in-chief, who, in preparing the same, shall be governed by the rules and regulations of the United States, so far as may seem expedient and proper for the gov ernment of the Militia of this Common wealth. Gathering" of the Clans. Lemuel Topd, chairman of the opposition Committee, Ex-member of Congress, and the hero of several futile political coalitions, has issued "a call for the assembling of a State Convention, on the Sth cf July next, to nom inate State officers. This call is exceedingly comprehensive, embracing all those "opposed i to the Lecompton swindle and the despotic j policy of the National Administration in forcing upon the people of Kansas a Consti tution in defiance of their known wishes, and in subversion of the groat right of self gov ernment; and in favor of a sound American policy, in opposition to the policy and in trigues of foreign governments." No doubt Mr. Todd and his fellow Comunitcc-mcn felt after constructing this new negative platform adapted to the times, and intended to inclose every shade of opposition within one fold, as if they had discharged a solemn and respon sible duty to the country in general, including Africans and themselves in particular. Noth ing but the highest degree of self satisfaction coul l have penned this call. We have been particular in quoting its exact words, because we regard it as a model and an illustratiou of the class of pscudo statesmen, of which Mr. Todd is a worthy specimen. And the first representative feature in this, h the glaring deliberation of its falsehood, wherein it as sorts that the Administration is seeking to "force upou the people of Kansas a Consti- tutiou in defiance of their known wi-dies." Why even at this very time we are daily as sured b- the Republican presses that the peop le of Kansas will spurn indignantly the or dinance submitted by the English bill, and thus defeat the Lecompton Constitution How then can the Administration force upon the people -a Constitution which no power on earth but their own fr c choice can compel them to accept? Hut it suited the Committee to prolong the cr- of force and despotism. They wished it true and did not stop to see its fal.Mty. The second representative feature in this call is the allegation that the Admin istration is pursuing this forcing process "in subversion of the great right of self govern ment." We have no doubt Mr. Todd has a memory, and we can imagine the amusing leer with which he penned this beautiful frag ment. That memory must have carried him back to the time when he abandoned the Democratic party because they recognized the right of the people of the territories, abso lutely and without reservation, to settle all their domestic institutions in their own way. Mr. Todd denounced the Kansas-Nebraska act in 1854 and 1S50, because it conferred the right of self government upon the people, contending for the despotic priuciple of con gressional prohibition, which did not leave the people perfectly free; and now- iu 1858 we find him and his coadjutors taking the back track, mounting the ' platform which they so often spit upon, and for the paltry consideration of the mere hope cf a tempo rary reward, step to the front of the platform, expose their brazen faces to the public gaze, and arraign the admiuistratiou for want of fidelity to the great principle of popular sov ereignty. Here is a picture to look at a mod el representative, a perfect Llmuel Gcluver Todd of modern political romance. And what is the nlatform of rrincinles unon which this convention is called? what the!

If "victory perches upon their j banner" to use the venerable uprcad-cagle phraee-we. hope Mr. Todd will not be for- gotten. The sacrifices of conscience and consistency he h required to make it. the cause is certainly equivalent to any reward. Patriot 10 Union,.

Gazette, from ite ed itor, wb is at present sojourning iu this city: "1 have met with men cf all parties and of no party, and have talked with tboui upon Kansas, Leconipton, etc., ind I u.Uft say that I see no diiiercuce between politi cians ia Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The Democrats here talk just as the Democrats of Kentucky do; they seem juit as national aa we are, and have as great dislike to every thing like sectionalism. I find no Abolition ists among the Philadelphia Democracy, but, on the contrary, I have heard more unspa ring denunciation of Abolitionists by Penii sylvanians, than I ever heard by Kentuck ians, The truth is, the people of the North and the South are pretty much. the same sort of folks, if the only knew it. They are not sufficiently acquainted with each other, and are prejudiced one against the other by in terested political schemers. There are Nor thern fVbolitionists-and Southern dis-Uuion- ists Northern freedom shriektis and South ern fire-cakrs but the great r-ass cf the pco21e the masses both North aud South, aro sensible, ccnseivativc, patriotic. Uuion loviug people and this is being better un derstood as the people of the extreme regions are brought together more closely aad more frequently by the increased facilities of rail road enterprise. The potent eQVct cf mero contiguity and of free interchange between individuals of different regions aud different institutions, to neutralize hostility, to extin guish or essentially mollify prejudice, and to enkindle sympathy, good will, and finally friendship, was pithily illustrated by the Welch itinerant preacher : 'Walking abioad,' says he, 'one iogy morning. I saw in tho distance, looming up through the mi?t oa the hill-side, what appeared to be a -talking monster. On pppvoaohing Dearer, 1 feuad this scemiDg monster was simply a man. Aud on coming close up. I discovered this man to be my own dear brother ." Just so at a distance all the North are Abolitionists, and all the South are slave-driving fire eafars but when they come closer together they find each other to be men of similar views and principles and brethren of like sympathies." search. Should despatches from Mr. Dallas j co hc exportation, the relations of the two countries will suddenly approach the casus belli. The first effect of such unfavor able news will be the prolongation of tha Session indefinitely beyond the day now fixed for adjournment.
