ROSS, Lnzerne County Convention. ' Believing "It to be the duty of all loyal men to stand by the Union in the hour of its trial; to _unite their hearts and bands in earnest, patriotic efforts for its maintenance against those who arc in arms against it, to sustain with determined resolution our patriotic Pres ident and his administration in their energetic efforts for the prosecution of the war. and the preservation of the Union against enemies at home or abroad ; to punish traitors and trea- 1 son with fitting severity, and to crush the present wicked and causeless rebellion, so that no flag of disunion shall ever again be raised over any portion of the Republic,"—and that all men who truly love their country should noiiperate"in the endeavor to rekindle through out all the States such a patriotic fire as shall utterly consume all who strike at the Union of our Fathers and all who sympathise with their treason, palliate their guilt." And whereas a Union Convention of all parties as sembled at Harrisburg on the 17th day of Ju ly list and put in nomination candidates for State offices. Therefore, in accordance with the said State Convention and in furtherance of the objects set forth in the above preamble we hereby call a Convention of Delegates to lie chosen by the people of Potter county, ir respective of party, who sanction and sustain all the measures which the National Aminis tration have found it necessary ' to adopt in infntaining , the Unicia and guard it against its open or disguised enemies, to be held at Cou dersport, on the evening of the 16th of Sept. next, for the purpose of putting in nomination suitable candidates, for the v.trious, offices to be filled, at the coming General Election,-and for the transaction of such other. business as may properly be brought before thd Conven tion. • The people will meet at the usual pla ces of holding the Township Elec Lions in their respective Townships, on Friday the,l2th day of September next, between the hours of four and six o'clock P AI for the purpose of choos ing said Delegates, each Township sending the number of Delegates designated, to wit: The Township of Abbott 2, Anegany 3.

Committee are desired to give the notice as much publicity as possible: LATEST NEWS. Saturday, Aug. 16.—Southern papers seem to be very much confused about the contest between Jackson • and Banks.'-- They say that on Saturday afternoon an attack 'was made upob the enemy by a portion .of the division of Gen. Ewell, and a brigade under Gen. C. S. Winder. Over 300 prisoners were captured in this engagement, includining 30 commissioned officers. They further say that the gen- j eral belief is that the Union loss is fours times that of the Confederates. Ash Fulstafflreinarked, "Lord, hew this worldl iK . given to lying." They record the kill ing of Gen. Winder, nephew of the jailor imchief and tormenter-general of Union prisoners at Richmond. The villains complain of an accident to the telegraph wires and railroads i that may be charged to some of Burnside's army. The Rich _ woad papers give a list of 23 Utiion offi cers captured, and 'are clamorous far their 'no/der, in case Pope executes any sneak iogl assassin who shoots at him from be hind a tombstone. Well, when Davis actually carries ou t these cowardly threats, it will be soon enough to'write the doom of the devils, who dare the vengeance of the l long.forbearing, much•forgiving mill ioni of the North. Let but a hair of the head of Gen. Prince, Col. Corcoran. or other Union prisoners be touched in a' spirit of retaliation, and Monday, Aug. 18, 1862.—The latest news from Cumberland Gap 'states that on the 9tb inst., et Tazewell, Stevenson's Rebel division attacked Gen. DeCourcy's brigade,' but were fo i rthinth'whipped.—;- The Union loss was 3, killed, 15 wounded, and 57 prisoners; ail the latter were af terward exchanged for a Rebel Lieute& ant-Colonel. The Rebels admitted a loss of 250 in .all, and Knoxville papers give the-names of 109 killed. All the stories of Union defeats in that regioeare false. Col.. Corcoran, Col.; Wilcox, and many other Union officers of all grades, are at 'last released, and are in Washington to day. A meeting wa l e held in this, city yesterday, to make preparations for the reception of Col. Corcoran, and a Com mittee has gone to meet him at Washing - ton.—At Y Tritunei ---7-- : AROUSE THE , PEOPLE.—The following , extract from a letter to.a Cincinnatian, written by a gentleman near there, states a Inger that really exists, although he may state it over strongly. For the rebels are many, and their !leaders crafty and desperate.. ;Their policy has long been to mass Make their men, akdash e a sudden .1 at some.unprotected point, and then retire exultinr , lt would not be so difficultla thing as * many imagine, nor would it be .distasteful to the Minds, stomachs M., pockets of the' rebels to pour a column of 100,0061 men, in a hurried march: on almost any point named between Phila delphia and St. Louis. And as recent events show that they will do it, if they can, it is. well for all important points within ore hundred miles of the border to be vigilant and well guarded. But to the letter :—"I am afraid ) ,we northern people are not awake to the dangers that impend.' We lie still, relying on our superior I numbers and resources, while the enemy is straining every nerve, and forcing into the field ' every element of strength; for the death struggle. There is an ominous silence just now from that quarter.-; I believe they are massing togetber"an army with which they not only hope to overwhelm our armies' on the borders,' but having 4stroyed them, to invae the North,' sprealing terror and dest uction in their course, and what (.1 . have wp 'to oppose them r Unarmed masses of people will be of no avail. Every ilTorthern State should organize the militia at once, and - prepare fur the most si4pendous conflict Of arms the world ever saw. Wel must not let the enemy dictate terms of peace to us, and if we would not do this, it behooves us to be at work. THE NEW SOLDIERS-WHAT THEY ARE is gentrally believed that thel troops now 'tieing recruited the Northern States will not be likely: to see much fighting in the= South before cold weather•—late .in i the fall or in the Winter. i They will be sent to Maryland, Western Virginia and other places where garrisoul i. duty is now being performed, land there take the places of •disciplined Ire7imeets now wantedi in the field. If (enough ifresh troops *ere now ready to take .th'e . garrisoned Ailaces not within reach of the rebels, 'so that the whole.,of .the disciplined force could join the army' in the field, there is no doubt Richinon s dl would soon fall. For the - first six months; that regiments now recruiting are io the! service, they will have a sort of holiday work to' ,perform; and it is to_be Hoped I that the rebellion. may be subdued with:! out ever calling then, to the field—indeed,! many predict thai it will. Still the new recruits will receive the pay and all thel bounties incident to the: service, the same as though , they were in the front rank and fighting the hottest battles. If the; war end before Christmas, the I nienivho now enlist would maka a godd thing. and most of them would earn far better wages than they dJuld get allowed besides having an opportunity to see! something of the Border States, the Na- tipnal Capitol and soldier life. A WORTHY EXA3F4E.-TIIC . 6hani bersburg "Transcript" says that a 'father and son, residing in Frankliricountyl, have entered into a joint pi'edge one to the i other that !they will abstain from the use of all intoxicating liqUors, except fth. medicinal purposes, during the term—, nine months—of the son's enlistment.: Excellent . parent, dutiful son. The greatest evil than pervades our army the excessive use of intoxicating liquorS4 It.disarnt's the gallant seldier of a cerrect and intelligent • discharge of his diniei, and at th'e . same time Weakens his moral and religious conduct. • Gradually his, sense of responsibility slackens and the honorable,' glorious • purpose of his'ambh.'

Soldiers of the old Keystone' State and particularly yen of Potter county, appreciate the example of the patriotic father to his noble son. Let not the temptations of the cup• master your reason and your intelligence. Con• taminating influences may surround you; but spurn '.them, as you would fly front the worst of infections or the PoisonouS Upas.

Curse or Modern Deurup'Fiacy.. If tife aggressive principle. of moderW DetrioCocy,P had `worked 'no other evil than that Which, it produced by; arming the mobs - 4 the south, we coulid pass it by ati&aluirist forget that enorMity.. If it never had conceived any 'otheriiniSchief than that,cf, imbuing the slave-holders of the south with treason, we might :deetn it still harniess for extensive corruption while it w4s incapable of doing good: The real danger of this principlei of mod ern Democracy, is the corruption which it is working - where all should I:ie pure and patriotic. If it had not been for the influence of the Democratic leadersi, the people of the free states would have - crushed this rebellion long since. IVe had, the poWer and the means. - at hand. The people iwere honestly anxious that treason should be wiped out, and! the re bellion put down, but their unanimity was invaded, while schism, and; doubt, 'and difference' followed in steady sums 'sion, until on several occasions the gov ernment was4dacedore in peril . lay such influences than it w s ever menaced - by T any of the potters or forces which traitors had been able to invoke or arraylngainst it: One of the latest instances! of the working of this influence of modern Democracy, is contained in the conduct of the Democratic commissioners of Mont. gomery county. The people Of that county bad nobly rallied to sustain the cause of the Union . Its quota ofi volun teers was in ;II fair way of being (raised, when those thus dedicating thetnselves Ito a good cause, 'only asked that they should be placed on a similar footingwith the volunteers from other counties, and that the bounty insured in other localities Ibe also vouebsafed to the men of Mont gomery county. In accordance with this feeling, - the citizens of the county,l,with.a I unanimity which there was no mistaking. lashed the conitnissioners that a siim be , appropriared sufficient to pay the bounty ;raised by ,other counties in the Coinnion. I wealth. Nay!, they offered to indemnify the commissioners from all personal responsibility by placing an equ'al sum 'at their dispoSal to that which they were asked to appropriate to pay the bounty. This scar flatly-and emphatically refused by the DeMocratie commissioners of Aloiityomery !county. They denied all support to those who went forth to fight the battles of the Unionthey rejec(ed the appeal of some of their most respectable constituents, and intrenching theniselves, behind the niece nretekt that they had no authority it) 'make such an appropria tion, they have left the wives and the children of thse who went forth to:battle to depend upon the charity of their neigh bors, instead of giving them a right, to the munificende and the bountiful wealth ()film whole county: 'IVe would Inot hold the Democratic party in an individual sense responsible for . :such acts, but we do declare that the, refusal was stimulated ,by the influence and the effort Of modern Democratic prin ciples. It thtl is nut the case, the coin missioncrs who thus refused to pay a bounty, are very devils incarnate incd pubic of every, feeling for the suff = ,erint , , i unmovable to the appeals of the patriotic, and too mean 'and cowmdly to respond to any emotions .;:ave such as minister to their own passions or !flatter their own prejudices. !I • I 1 Extraordinallt develonments . have been made in Indiana.

In such 'ease, members of, the order serving to opposing armies, receiv ing the sign are reminded of their obli i Cation not to injure the menzber givizig it. I This signal is given in every instance upon the initiation of a new men ber,,!and its strict observance is enjoined upon'` !every individual belonging. By the tliachings of the organization, it is; the duty of its therilLers engaged in the pros, e.nt war, although arrayed on oppostte sides, upon th'e signal. being given, if they fire at'all,ko shoot over each other."
