Hartfo d Convention, No. 2.

Let them howl. There are in the North
west few hundreds of old, decrepid, worn
out senseless, selfish and malignant politicians
of whom our Dick Richardson is the type,
who have taken upon themselves the task of
putting an end to this war, by granting the
rebels all they ask, thus splitting the Union in
twain, or making it nursing mother of the
civilization nowadays evinced in the slave
States They held a convention at Indianapo-
Lis the other day, and though their proceed
ings are trumpeted forth with many flourish,
we assume that nobody, not as sodden and
silly as they, fears that their plan for pacitica-
ton can command corporaPs guard of sup
porters in any truly loyal county in the West.
The day has gone by in these Northern States,
in which appeals in behalf of our ''deluded
and mistaken Southern brethren" and dia-
tribes against the "wicked and fanatical Abo-
litionists,n have power 10 touch the popular
heart or incite the public wrath.
The conviction grows daily more profound
that this war must be fought out and that we
must conquer; and to that end, that no propo-
sitions of peace shall be entertained, no war
like agency shall be discarded, no sacrifice
shall be shirked, until the treaeherous and
malignant enemy against whom we now con-
tend, lies PROSTATE and suppliant at our feet.
These men who come with their offers of com
promise, their buttered words of kindness
! their ill-coDcealed treason beneath their pu-
Grille complaints, have mistaken their era
They have not kept pace with events. They
are cropping darkly in the year now gone; and
are serving up to the public rehash of the
tried and discarded expedients that used to he
| in vogue before the pro-slavery devote had
| discovered that their power over the country

are the Bourbons of our American politics

NEUTRALITY.

In the beginning of the contest in which
we are involved, some of the States by their
representative, and thousands of individuals
here and there imagined that they could re-
main neutral. The progress of events has
clearly proved how utterly groundless was this
idea. In the North there were some journals
such as the Chicago Times and the Dayton
Empire, which constantly represented that the
Republicans originated the war, and they
might end it the best way they could. Perhaps
they were sincere and honest In making such
q charge, but the millions Of the country knew
who fred upon Fort Sumter, who dishonored
the national flag, who possessed themselves of
the forts and treasures belonging to the whole
country, and who in connection with these
high misdemeanors, avowed their fixed deter
mination to divide and destroy the Union.
Hence the extreme fanat ical faction which these
papers represent has steadily been diminishing
and by outward pressure which has now and
then become resistless and overwhelming, they
have at length evinced commendable ambi-
ton in some of their editorials to go farther
than the farthest in crushing out
the rebellion. Respecting the late gathering
at Chicago and Cincinnati in mass war meet
ings, where the people gave every possible
evidence that they were determined to stand
by the country and protect it to the last, these
journals, state that amounted thousands as
sembled, and exhibited an enthusiasm TO carry
on the contest which was truly sublime. In
their report they find no place for neutrals.
They have long since gone under. The tide
has rolled too strong for them to oppose it.
Similar remarks may be made of the lovers
of our country in every other section. Traitors
have gone to their own place or are travelling
at a rapid step in that direction. Those who
wished the Federal forces would stay beyond
the limits of Kentucky and Tennessee, have
bitterly repented their folly, and suffering the
fearful consequences of their protested neu-
trality, in numerous guerrilla raids, are now
most earnestly invoking the Government to
press forward its armies, and to rally three
hundred thousand more volunteers under the
glorious Union banner TO give them the pro-
lection they need, and to preserve to them
and their families all on earth they hold dear
Neutrality now appears to them one of the
greatest crimes Of which no true patriot could
ever be guilty. He that is not for the Gov.
eminent is against it.

WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsHIGGToN,
Adjutant Generals Office, July Is, so.
Capt W. B. Lane, Mastering Officer, Harris.
6irg, Pennsylvania.
The call by Gov. Curtin for nine and twelve
months men was made without previous con-
sultation or direction of the President or War
Department, and, having been made, it was
deemed by the President and by the Depart
ment better to accept such troops as were
offered under that call. But it is proper to be
noticed that the law does not allow any bounty
to the nine months men except the twenty
five dollars paid at the time of being mustered
into service. The remaining seventy-five dol
lars is only payable to those who enlist for
three years, or during the war.

MESSAGE OF Gov. EvANs.-Gov. John Ev-
ans, of Colorado, has just issued his first mes
sage, an able and interesting document, in
which he congratulates that Territory on the
rapidly accumulating evidences of the natural
resources of Colorado. He says:
+" 1t is estimated by those best informed on
the subject, that the gold product of the pres
ent, will be at least double that Of any former
year. and that the gold mining country in our
Territory has, as yet, been but half explored.

The Louisville Journal ON wtckIiffe.
The Journal SAYS

We are not willing to give uttersnce to the
thoughts and feelings which the remarks re-
ported to have been made by the Hon. G. A.
Wicklifie yesterday in the Democratic con-
vention at indianapolis are calculated to ex-
cite, until we shall receive more authentic
intelligence as to what he actually said. Ii he
said that the people of the United States ought
now to pause in the war while the rebels are
raging for the destruction of our nationality
that We ought to stay our hands and let the
rebles have their own way until we can satisfy
ourselves that our. views as to slavery, etc.,
will be in no respect interfered with by the
prosecution OF the war fer the Union, be is
about as good q rebel already as can be found
North or South. But We hope that the dis
tinguished Kentnckian is misrepresented.

MILITARY authorities say that no one is ever
hurt by the wind of cannon ball, for the very
sufficient reason that cannon ball has no wind
that strikes out sideways, as is commonly sup
posed. Cannon balls often pass between a
soldiers legs, or knock off a soldiers cap, or
take a button off of the breast of his coat, with
out infiicting the slightest injury; and there
have been cases in which an ear or nose has
been taken off by cannon ball, without fur
ther damage than the loss of the ear or nose
oecasioned. Men who are found dead on the
field of battle without the least mark of vio-
lence on their persons, die of the heart disease,
apoplexy, or some similar fatal attack; and
sometimes by being struck slightly over some
vital spot by cannon ball. which leaves no
external mark on account of the yielding of
the flesh, but the internal conclusion from
which was sufficient to destroy life The in
ternal organs of dead soldiers have been found
smashed almost to jelly, while not sign of
in external blow or scratch could be found on
the body.

The stock market has been much unsettled since

panic, with an average decline Of per cent in
governments and the leading railway securities.
On Friday there was no session Of the Board Of
Brokers. Yesterday it was generally believed
that the fortunes of the Army Of the Potomac were
far from being as desperate as had been believed,
and lively reaction ensued. The Western rail-
ways and New York Central are doing q very
large and profitable business, which is regarded
as assuring the payment of all the usual summer

been paid for some years.

Gold closed at 1897 ITO. The market is still
governed in the main by the importations OF Anne
rican stocks, which being RENTED for In gold.
The sellers are, however, losing money at present,
rs the price they are compelled to pay for their
gold more than consumes any profit which they
may make on their stocks. 1t In therefore
reasonable to presume that the importation Of
American stocks from Europe will soon fail oil. 1t
is hardly necessary to repeat that this country is
doing an excellent business in buying its promises
to pay from Europe, and in paying for them in gold
at 10 per cent premium. The sooner we get all our
bonls home, the better especially at this rate.
With regard to the course Of the bullion market,
there very little to be added TO what we have said
heretofore on the subject. There ia no legitimate
demand for gold in this country. 1t is of no use
whatever to us except to pay our foreign debts
with. If, as is generally believed, the new tariff
renders it impossible for us to incur any debts to
the foreign world, over and above our exports of
produce and merchandise, gold must inevitably fall
to par, as we have large stock of it on hand and
are producing over $40 900 600 year. Meanwhile,

the one hand, and, on the other the operations Of
secret traitors and timid merchants, combine to
cause fictitious demand for the precious metal
and the premium is thus maintained at ten per
cent. The public have been all along, and are
STILL sellers Of gold; the only buyers are the
spectators we have mentioned and the importers
of American stocks, or bankers who sell their
exchange. The new tariff and the interest account
will by and by, give good account of this absurd
and preposterous advance in the price of COM
modify with regard to which the supply is largely
in excess of the demand.
