Vushgttrin Namur. PITTSBURGH, JUNE 21, 18(12 Prospects of a Peaceful Union. Southern leaders have often repet.ted, and still most persistently reiterate the declaration, that there never can be a peaceful union between the North and South. Their earnestness and pertinacity have been also affirmed by a few, their sympathizers ija rebellion, at the North. In Europe they have succeeded in making the impression deep and general, that the Union is dissolved, and is 'never to be re stored' in any such sense that the country shall be one. Our Government, however, has adopted no such idea; nor has it by any means taken possession of the Northern mind. A union of all , the States in our Govern ment, is regarded as a necessity. It may be difficult to effect, but it is worth the cost. It may be, for a long time, impel.; feet. There may be Guerrilla bands, and occasional outbreaks, for yeirs; but there will be nothing producing a tytbe of the injury—the alienations, expense, destruc tion of property, and fightings, which would result from a division of the States into two Governments. If there must be an evil, we choose the smallest; and we hence say, prosecute the war with vigor. Let there be no respite, no yielding, no compromise. Put the rebellion down. Set up the laws: Suppress wickedness. Pro t3ct innocence. Wrong none. One great preventative to a cordial wel come of our arms, is the uncertainty of permanent protection. We have so often withdrawn our troops, or suffered them to be driven back, and Union men who had avowed their sentiments have hence suffered so terribly at the hands of the enemy, that a cool reception is now not to be regarded as a matter for wonder. The authority of the Government, in the acquisitions from rebeldom, must be more firmly established, before we can reasonably expect non combatants to declare boldlyin our favor, Protection must be assured. fn order to this, the Richmond army must be captured or dispersed. The whole of the Missis sippi and its tributaries occupied, the whole of Tennessee, with North Carolina and Arkansas firmly possessed; and still we must exhibit a very determined spirit to advance, and a very large artny, to make an advance manifestly practicable. Then may we expect Unionism to come out dis tinct and full. Then it will be safe to do s). And then to do so will be obviously a matter of interest. There was some disappointment at the sullenness with which our troops were re ceived at Nashville. But we must'not for get that Nashville is the residence of many of the wealthy slaveholders, who are always proud and aristocratic. „Then also our army had, but penetrated the State in that one place, and the enemy were powerful in the neighborhood, and held the Missis sippi from the Gulf to near Cairo. Since our Western successes, the people of Nash villa show a' much better spirit. Some large and enthusiastic public meetings have been held, highly favorable. Memphis was the most rabid place in all the West, but It has yielded With much grace, and 'Unionism manifests itself strong ly. No papers were more violent than those of this eity'; , ainli , yeethey continue., and are almost's:nal:4)les of Mildness; and that, too, without any constraint being applied. It is true, that ' they' eoune v el peace from a consideration, of necessity, but even this shows a remnant of wisdom, and may be the beginning xif a habit. Order, in .every place, .owes much to the presence of power. In New-Orleans, Gen. Butler gets along admirably. Business is greatly revived. The people are quiet. There is a sense of security such as had not been for a long time. Every man, woman, and child, is safe under a well administered law. Cheer fulness has already, to a great extent, sup planted sullenness. In Norfolk, also, Unionism is showing itself in vigor. In public meetings, trade, and commerce,. the people exhibit some thing of the old spirit,;, when. they rejoiced under 'the National flag. Memphis, New-Orleans, ati4 Norfolk are A ..r. , places Of trade. Business men have suffer ed extremely by the rebellion. ;.A. revival of trade is as return to their Means of in come. In such places there is no'danger of a long continued' sullenness and disloyalty. It cannot be. Ilmen will continue rebels, loyal men will come in and • take the brisi nese, and crowd them out. So also the in- : terests of , the planters will overcome their obstinacy. We have but few fears relative to the pacifloation of the South, provided only that our Government shall make a due show of united counsel, and physical force. 31.05 t men soon learn to make a virtue of nessity. Use reconciles them to what t- t . did not like. New immigrations midify society. The young grow up with changed attachments. There will be a reutnant, a numerous remnant, of dissatisfied persons; and they will transmit their enmity to their pos terity. It was so in the Revolution. The spirit which was then Tory, has remained in. South Carolina; and it is the very spirit which has produced the present troubles. But under every government there are per sons dissatisfied. Perfect unity, entire ho mogeneity, we do not expect. There will ever be a minority who will thirst. for power. The longer the:war may be protracted, the more intense will become the anti-Sla very feeling; and if it should continue be yond another year, we would not be 'sur prised, to fend Abolitionism completely the ascendant. If the Southerners wish`to retain their slaves, let them submit to. the Constitution at once, and peacefully. And if Northern sympathizers with Slavery wish to perpetuate the institution in tlie hands of their - friends, let them counsel those friends to disband their armies and retire to .heir quiet homes. Slavery, as we have often said, has received its deadly wound. Secession gave the blow. A yielding speedily to the GoVernment,-*ill permit long to linger. An exhibition of great vigor, and a violent perseverence in the re bellion, will the more speedily cause the wound to bring the subject to its predeter mined end. The War. :During the last week, there, has occurred but little in the way of battles. Gen. Fre mont has been.driving the from the Shenandoah. Gen. Hunter has made an advance toward Charleston. And Gen. McClellan is making his approaches toward Richmond. Vicksburg still holds out. Beauregard's army has not foUnd a locality. Reports have it that some 10,000 are cap tured, apt, the same number deserted; 20,000 gone to Charleston, and a number to Richmond. • • Is mai latins. The Counterfeit? Detector, Published Monthly by Petersons, Philadelphia, is a work which all should possess, who .handle money. The names of all Banks in the coun4y, and the rates of discount are given. Counter feits also are minutely described. Charleston. Our army approaching Charleston is obliged to halt. Gen Hunter has neither land nor naval forces adequate to the task of capturing that city. The latest is thus given:: Gen; Benham had oecipied James Island, un der the protection of the gunboats. The rebel force at Charleston has been greatly augritented. Deserter's say that 30,000 men from Beauregard's army had reached there, and every preparation was making for a stubborn defence of the city. Commodore Dupont thought that our attack could not safely proceed until we had a stronger force. There was heavy firing from the enemy during Tuesday, but no apprehension of danger was felt from an attack on our troops. . The Failure in Gen. easel's Division. RepOrts differ 'exceedingly 'relative to" the Cron duct of Gen. Casey's division, in the battle of Fair Oaks. They were in Vie idvance, se - dome must necessarily be. They„were attacked by ' a vastly superior foice, as ,is ordinarily the case, when an assault, is made bye foe who possesses any wisdom. And they were,driven back,.which is also a thing not. Unusual. An enemy is 'hardly wise who makes an attack without his having a very strong probability of success, at the outset. Casey's men also fought. Some of them fought valiantly. But it is manifest that some of them', behaved badly. Letter writers differ greatly in their statements. Even officers differ. A dis patch from Gen. McClellari'tO Seeretary Stanton, June sth, says: "My dispatch of the Ist inst., stating that Gen. Casey's division, which was in the first line, gave way unaccountably and discreditably, was based upon official statements made to me before I arrived upon the field orbattle, and while I was there, by several commanders. Front state ments made to me subsequently, by Generals Casey and Naglee, I am induced to believe that a portion of the division behaved well; and made& most gallant stand against superior numbers, but, at present, the accounts are too conflicting to enable me to discriminate with certainty. When the facts are clearly aseertained, the ex ceptional good conduct will be properly ac knowledged." paqing Down.

'We %*(luote recent' in stance. The Memphis Appeq, a few days before the surrender of that city, thus uttered Southern sentiment: "We hear some treasonable sheets intimating that there can, - in the nature of things, be possi ble circumstances tbat would induce them to pre fer the Lincoln Government...to the Southern Confederacy. For our own part, we agree with a contemporary that, if the choice is forced upon us, which we do not apprehend will be the case, we should prefer any despotism, even that of the Czar of Russia, or the black monarch of the wild est race in Africa, to the rule of Abe Lincoln. Hatred of him is the only legacy a Southern man should ask of him,'and that , should be nursed until its vast amount should be beyond computa tion. "The Orleanians are finding. ut what being a oonquered people means. Let, their sad experi ence instruct us that any other'evil is more, 'en durable, any suffering preferable, to the scourge of Yankee masters." This -is boastful, brave, grandiloquent. But in less than a week after its utterance, Memphis is surrendered without the firing of a gun. Tife citizens quietly submit, without making it need ful to occupy the plane with any large military force, or even to declare martial law. The fact is that the body Of the ;people rejoiee , at the Northern occupation of the cities. The conscription at once vanishes. Trade revives.

The tax bill has been referred to a Committee of Conference on the part of both Houses. The conferees appointed on the part of the House are, Messrs. Thaddeus Stevens, Morrill, of Ver- Mont, and Holman, of Indiana; on the part. of the Senate, Senators Fessenden, Harris and Ilen derson. The Richmond Examiner, of the 9th inst., de votes its editorial columns to deploring such a fact that there is found no indivtdual rendered so desperate and weary of living by the wretched-' ness this invasion has brought on him, as to sub stitute what may be an ignominious suicide for a glorious martyrdom, intended as an incentive for procuring the assassination of United States of ficers, who have taken possession of rebel ter ritory. The House passed the Senate bill defining the pay and emoluments of certain officers of the army, with amendments, ono of which embodied Mr. Arnold's bill to give citizenship to all volun teers who serve and are honorably discharged on proving one year's residence, and another to punish fraudulent contractors, by trial by court martial, with fine and, imprisonment, and to bring all contractors under the articles of ,war. After debate it was deemed that this mode of, puniehment would be More piompt than in the Civil Court's, and it Was unanimously adopted.` The House passed the'senate bill prescribing an additional oath to be taken by the grand and petit jurors serving in the ;United States Courts, to the effect that they had been true and faithful to the Constitution, beim not taken uP'arms, or counseled or advised any person to take up arms, or rendered any assistance, aitl or comfort to, any State or States in revolt against, the Govern-, ment, 'St& Major-General Ord is transferred, at hiiewn re quest, from McDowell's, on theyotomao, to Hal leek's army, .on the Mississippi. • • Mr. Stevens, from the Committee of Ways.and Means, reported a bill which was ordered to be printed; authorizing the issuti"of a hundred and fifty million of Treasury notes, not bearing in terest, of a denomination not less than- five dol lars, receivable in payinent of all loans, made to the United States, and of all taxes, internal du ties, debts and demands, of every • kind due ex eepting duties on imports and interest, and of all claims and demands against the United States, except for interest on bonds, notes and certifi cates of debt or deposit; also, to be a lawful and a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, excepting duties upon imports, on interest, on public debt, etc. June. 17.—1 t issaid that the.

This measure is very popular in the House, and may, be agreed to. ' During a discussion of the bill for anis:Me of additional demand U. S. notes, Mr. Spaulding,' of New-York, said the mode adopted six months ago, for , raising money, worked well as a war measure.'

The .Secretary of the Treasury 'Might io be clothed with ample power to meet any contingencies ; and he would vote to confer it upon him, bailey , ing that he would exercise it wisely and for the best interests of the country. The ground upon Which this bill rests is necessary and hence im mediate action is essential." " The Treasury bill was then laid aside; • The Rouse concurred 'in the Senate's substi Lute fur Mr. 'Arnold's bill. It forever prohibits slavery in .the territories' now existing, or which at any time hereafter may be formed , or acquired: The Senate bill denoting . lands to the, several Stites and TerritorieS, for the establishment of Colleges for agrimiltural and mechanical arts was taken up.. The House, by a large Majority, refused to re.- fer it to the Cominittee on Public Lands. It ap portions lands to each, State and Territory at the rate of thirty shOusand acres for each Senator,.

A few Acting, Assistant Surgeons are wanted by thh Naiy Department, for temporary service. The news of the defeat of the. French at Puebla' is fully confirmed. The Mexican forces were not, as has been stated, in greater numbers than the French. On the. contrary, they were less ; and, a portion of them only had the advantage of intrenchments. The fight was bravely contested on both sides; but in each of the three deter= mined charges, the French were valiantly, re pulsed and forced to retire. Since their retreat 'to Orizaba, the French forces have been closely ,honimed in at that place •, but no attack upon them will prObably , be made until the disposition of the Emperor is, known.. It is still hoped he will withdraw his, support from the reckless schemes of A New Flock of Gunboats. The Navy Department has just taken steps for a very important addition to our naval arm = having issued proposals ter the construction and complete equipment' of fifteen gunboats; spee.d not less than thirteen knots; to be deliVered within four months. The confidence which hoe led the Department, to make thig, large addition to the Navy, in this particular build of war-,ship, is fully justified by the magnificent service which our gunboats have rendered in every theatre of naval action, both on the Western, waters 'and along the Atlantic and.

' , Pa, May 26th, 1862, Mrs. RACHEL AMANDA G, wife of Rev. Wm., F. Morgan pastor of the Presbyterian churches of Rural *Valley, and. Elderton, aged` 80 viers, 2 month's, and 20 days. • The subject of the above notice was born near, Canonsburg, Washington dounty,Pa., where She' remained until she, completed her literary studies, at' Olome Seminary, being a member of the class which graduated in 1849. She was early in life impressed with religious conviction, and, was, - while quite young, hopefully, converted under the ministery of that, excellent. and godly, man. of blessed memory, Rev. Matthew Brown, A.D. She afterwards sat under the ministry of Rev. R. A. - ,Breckinridge, D.D., and Rev. Cyrus Dick- Through all her subsequent life, she spoke praises to the names of those her former pastors. In 1867 she entered upon a new sphere --she , became.a pastor's wife,; but in this new relation, she, was only permitted to act for a short time,-for; death isoon claimed her as his victim. During the brief period she was a pastor's wife, she made herself many,friends. A gloom is cast over the community,by her early and sudden death. She was_ naturally'of a. very sweet, loving, and amiable disposition, always striving to make home happy, and encourage her husband in his duties. She was slow to narrate to him those things the tendency of which was discouraging; always watching for a favorable opportunity to tell him, if at all. She was an affectionate and dutiful daughter. An aged mother now adds her testimony to her dutifulness. She remarks that never did she say to her, "I will not." The bereavement falls heavily upon aged parents ; but on none more so, than on him who . pens these lines, for she was to him a kind and. affectionate wife. It was not the privilege of the writer to stand by her dying bed and watch her as life was ebbing away, as she ,was suddenly called to exchange a world of struggle and war fare for the glories and bliss of heaven; (he being absent from home at the General,Assem bly.) But his heart is cheered with the thought that every attention that kind and sympathizing friends could bestow to soothe her dying mot. ments, was shown,. Her death was very sudden. , On Sabbath evening, , in her usual health, when devotion Claimed her holy hour, she led the fam ily in prayer, asking heaven's blessing on them, - and for the safe return of:her husband. About the same hour on' the' following, evening , heaven opened before her ransomed 'spirit with a pleasant 'Surprise.s ' • A sWeet thought now, to a beretried'husb,and and surviving relatives and friends is; she Was a Christian, living it out in her daily walk and, conversation : None knew more her anxieties for her "spiritual and eternal' interests, and the welfare of the people among whom her lot for a short time was east, than the - writer. She leaves a husban'd and two daughters, as well as numerous relatives and friends to mourn their loss, whiCh is her eternal gain. “Blessed • are the dead which die in the Lord." DIED--In Mt. Pleasant Township, Washing ton County; Pa., on May ifith, 7882, 'MARTHA T. LINDSEY,: in the, 82d- year of her age. The decased was a subject , of the great revival in.;Western Pennsylvania in 1801-2. Shortly after her conversion she united with the Presby- - terin church of Miller's Run, under the pastoral care of Rev. James'Dunlap. She was united in marriage to Mr. John' Lindsey, in January, 1808, with whom she lived as a most' deveted wife, on terms of the mest: intiinate friendship, for fifty-four years. 'She was'the mother of six children, all of whom survive her; and are all respectable members of tbe Church. Mrs. Lindsay maintained a consistent Christian profession for about sixty years. Her character istic trait was humility. . Althdugh much afflicted for forty years, no word of complaint ever escaped her lips. Tier last illness was marked by an unusual degree of patience and Uncom plaininisuhmission.. The question being asked her, "Are ; you ; not sorry to part with kind • friends whom you love?" she answered,, "No; I do n't want to live, but am willing to wait cod's time; but I want, to go home." She felt no fear of death, but died in the confident expectation of I a gloriou§ immortality.: : , She knew in :whom she believed, and Was persuaded that he was able to keep that which she committed to his trust. juri7 ly .
