Every man who is sintercsted in proscrv-

efforts as citezens of o broken aud affected

1t results from what has been said, that
the administration now in power may
expect from the great mass of those polti-
cally opposed to it, acquiescencc in le'
gitimato exercise Of powers with which 1t
is invested, whether elating to the war or
to internal administration. But they will
claim and exercise the right Of discussing
the wisdom and coustitutionally y Of its policy,
and will resist by al lawful means any
attempt to pervent the war from its true
object, or 10 use the war power as an in.
strument for introducing arbitrary rule
amongst US,
And they will labor to prepare the way
for the complete reunion OF the States,
upon their accession to power; or, If lin
contradiction of their iears) such reunion
should previously be achieved by arms,
then to confirm it and render it real, cor
dial and perpetual.
Let it be distinctly understood that the
great mass of the Democratic party and of
the conservative men of the country have
never agreed, do not now agree, and have
no intention Of agreeing in future, to a
dissolution of the American Union founded
by Washington and his compatriots, and
that they will not cease their efforts for
its complete restoration in its original,
pristine vgor. But to accomplish this
purpose, they, unlike their opponents, will
use all legitimate means oi restoration,
and not PHYSICAL force alone. This may
be boldly and openly announced, every
where, and ought to be accepted every
where, as the only reasonable and patri-
otic ground upon which party can stand
that desires and Intends to save the couu-
try.
The administration has deliberately y
cast away all means of restoration, except
physical force, and has called into exis
tence great and unnecessary obstacles to
success, until, Notwithstanding the imme-
diate difference of apparent strength be.
tween the parties to the war, its issue
hangs trembling in the balance. But let
us not despair of the future "Out oithis
netle danger" we may yet "pluck the
bower, safety" We may hope that the
remaining months of Mr.. Iincon's term
will be got past without complete exhaus-
ton, and the point of time arrived at
when vigorous and truly great party,
clcan.hanied from the past; thoroughly
Union, upright, just, patriotic and brave
will assume possession Of the powers Of
government. And then, this party, with
an old history Unidentified with the glories
of the country binding to itsympathy and
affection in every quarter, with no selfish
local or fanatcal passions, to weaken OF
mislead it; with generous, even handed
impartial, time tried creed, coniormod to
the Constitution, aud springing naturally
from its principlcs-this party, thus quail
fed to speak to the whole land, and to be
heard with affection and reverence, car
and will command these wild waves o
human passion to be still, and rejecting
alike the ianaticism of Boston and o

A committee Of the Senate appointed to
investigat, frauds in the chartcring of
ships for the Banks and other expoditl-
tions, have made report which reveals
more than the usual amount of fraud and
corraption in Government officers and
employees. They show that one Of the
Government agents named Coblens char
tered TO Government thirteen vessels valu-
ed at SG6 ,293 at the rate of S047 per day,
or S345 ,655 per year, which is only 5293
per cent, on his investments
Another Government agent named Hall
is represented to have been in the busi-
ness eighteen months. He has charged
from FIVE to twelve per cent. for his servi-
ces, and las besides received large per
centages on the eapnings of the vessels
from their owners. No less than l63
vessels were chartered through Hall, while
he was agent for the owners of twenty-five
others employed by the Government
He was poor man eighteen months ago,
but is now rapidly acquiring wealth by the
receipt ofa large daily revenue from COM
missions upon the earnings of vessels still
in the Government Employment.
Another of this band of disinterested
"patriots" named Lapec is stated to be in
receipt enormous revenues. from the char
terng of transports, derived partly from
commissions received on vessels where he
acted at the same time as agent OF the
Government and agent of the owners,
partly from the charters Of vessels belong
ing to transportation companies, of which
he is a large stockholder, partly from
vessels owned by himself, and chartered
by or through himself las Government agent
to the Government, partly from collections
of money due to others on transportation
accounts, and partly from his ''inhuence. .
Mr.. Hall of Baltimor" testified that he
paid Loper sl3 900 at one time for 'get-
ting business for him. and besides con
siders himself bound to pay an additiona
sum OF % per cent. lone half Of the earn.
ings of certain vessels.
After showing up the various swindling
trans actions connected with the busne ST
of hiring vessels for various expeditions
the committee declare that the facts ant
testimony point to John TUCKER, AsSis-
tant Secretary Of War;. Gas the perS0'
through sOhom these gigantic and s4am e
less frauds on the Government aoere chieH

These frauds amount to millions o
dollars. and the chief criminal in them
declared by Republican committee to b
high Government officer
This is "the way the money goes !
the way tho people are swindled undo

The COBScriptiOn Bill.

The Philadelphia Press states that the
Conseript Bill passed the Senate on last
night week by unanimous vote. How
unanimity was obtained we learn from the
Philadelphia Inquirer, whose Washing
ton correspondent states that as soon as
i became evident that the Republican
2ena'or' attended to pass the bill, all the
\craIs except five, left Ihe Senate.

Another Draft Proposed.

A bill has passed the House and
Senate giving the President full power to
draft whenever, wherever, and whoever
he pleascs, thus setting aside all State law,
or rights on tho subject This fresh enter
tainment for the people has been gotten up
by the Abolition leaders in Congress, and
doubtless become law Thus, after call
ing out already million and quarter Of
men, and after the expenditure of nearly
two thousand millions Of dollars, they
want more. They prefer this rather than
the honorable settlement of our National
EQUITIES without any more bloodshed
> Their plea of treating the patient, who is
already fearfully debiliated and exhausted
is to bleed and blister him. Would it not
Euhstter for Senator WILSON, who in
the bill, to get his own State Of
rs, and the other New En-
Rd New York to put in force
rdered six months ago, be-
another 4! Are we Of
5 be continually victimized
u New England Are we
d without ceasing by Yam
indled by her paper money,
|lhen slaughtered by the thous-
Commonwealth loaded down
Ibt, and our bright prospects crush
at and ruined by New England Alb
Hlition war? Pennsylvania uobly respon-
to the first draft, whilst the States east
and north of hsr did nothing; is it, there
fore, fair that she should now be placed
at the mercy of the Abolitionists, and the
power placed in the han Is of the President
to conscrpt by the wholesale her able
bodied men who remain !? 1t is enough
for us to ask the question, to show the
unreasonableness of the proposition. Our
State as already furnished more brave
men fer this war than any other State in
the Union, and is willing to do her duty
in this respect in the future ; but she asks
other States to be put OF the same footing.
Let them be compelled TO furnish their
quotas OF the first draft, and then the Old
keystone will cheerfully consent to sec
ond. Let there be fair play in this matter
all around.

Rioters Fifteen Hundred Strong
FROM VAsHINGTOS.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 3.


Times special:
1t is again asserted en- most undoubted
authority that the main body of Lees
Army is encamped between Rapidan Sla-
ton and Orange c. H, Il is positively
known that this was the position Of the
rebel army on Wednesday last.
General Lees real depot of supplies is at
Gordonsville, but the latter point is now
the place Of distribution.
Two divisions Of Longstreets corps now
occupy Culpepper.
Official states the total number of Union
wounded in the three days battles at Get
tysburg, is about 1900 a fraction over
10000 wounded still remain in the hospit-
ais.
Herald's correspondence from sperry-
vile:
The fourth Pennsylvania regiment Of
cavalry was dispatched by Gen. Gregg
yesterday morning upon a reconnaissance.
At Little Washington, twelve miles from
here, they encountered a company of rebel
cavalry, about 100 strong, and drove them
through town, capturing private of the
I'd Virginia, who had been sent by an or
der from Gen. Fitzhugh Lee to purchase
grain and -four for the brigade in the vi
cinity of Waterford, Loudon county.
A rebel brigade of cavalry was posted
between Little Washington and Sperry-
vile.
The private captured had in his posses
sion some correspondence indicating the
rebel army as in very desperate eondi-
ton, and bitterly bewailing the error Of
his raid into Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and predicting that if the war should much
longer be waged, Lees army will be starY-
ed to death in the mountains.
Herald's dispstch
Gen. McClernand having been relieved
from the command of the 18th Army Corps,
and ordered to remain inactive in the State
of Illinois, has rendered his immediate and
unconditional resignation of the Office Of
Major General of the United States forces.
The General is unwilling to hold COM
mission, and receive pay from Govern
ment, without an opportunity to serve the
country in a position appropriate to his
rank.
Secessionisls here are making themselves
happy over the report that JEFF. Davis is
about to raise great army Of negroes,
upon the promise of freedom and lands,
but large Shareholders in this region ex-
press the opinion he will venture upon no
such policy in fact, he dare not trust the
slaves It will be remembered O remark was
attributed to Mr.. Lincoln at the date ofhis
first essay of an emancipation scheme, that
he had reason to believe the rebel govern
ment was looking 10 the same thing, and
might be before him in the movement.
a rebel prisoner of rank was brought to
this city some time since, and as the story
went he was Gen. Evans, Of Balls Bluff
fame. Later revelations from the South
have il he committed all sorts Of eXcesses
in the neighbOrhoOd of Leesburg, and
among other things destroyed property in
and about several Of the finest mansions
and grounds in that vicinity. He is the
only General on either side who has in
dulged in wholesale vandalism.

The Hon. John C. Underwood, Fifth Au-
ditor, in charge Of the Bureau for cOnfs-
eating and selling rebel property to pay
the expenses Of the present insurrection,
thus states, in a recent speech, the position
of the Government, and the final results Of
Conhscation to the nation;
HAnd then will come the confsoation,
sale, sad subdivision Of the old rebel
plantations into farms, owned and culti-
waited BY soldiers and other loyalm men who
have stood BY the country in its hour Of
trial. And what a signal display Of re-
tTibutive justice shall we see in this For
has not enough loyal blood been poured
out and mingled with the soil Of Virginia
to extinguish every rebel right, and estab-
Tsh the most uuquestionsble title in the
heirs Of the patriots and martyrs who have
fallen defending the liberties and unity Of
the nation With a denser white popula-
ton thus obtained viii naturally come q
higher civilization, free schools, universal
education, arts, manufactures, and cor
responding growth Of Christian morality
and pure religion

RelirIne Resiments.

Several regiments Of two years and
nine months enlistment, at Port Hudson,
whose term Of service has expired, are
passing hOmeward to be mustered out Of
service. Some Of these regiments, to their
praise and honor, recorded, after their
term Of service had expired, remained
faithfully at their posts, at Port Hudson,
to assist in the reduction Of that strong
hold.
She places of these retiring regiments
are being supplied, to considerable ex-
tent, By cOlored regiments, which are be-
ing rapidly enlisted and mustered into
service.
We may well imagine. what would be
the condition of the service, we're not the
places Of the retiring regiments thus
promptly filed.

/ CHEERING News oF THE CRoPs.-The
Agricultural Bureau, at Washington, collects
information relative to the crops of the
country, and the knowledge acquired through
this source is probably more accurate and
full than when gathered from Agricultural
papers confined to a limited local expert
sncs OF observation. This Bureau has made
a report of the crops of Nay and June, from
which it appears that One-tenth more land
was planted in wheat than in 1852, which
was the largest crop ever grown in this cOun-
try. Spring wheat has been injured to the
extent of one-tenth, but the other promises
large yield. Barley is excellent. Corn,
generally of small size, its appearance one
tenth below the standard Of good crop.
Oats, though injured, will be a better crop
than last year. Grass is twenty per cent.
below the appearance of good crop. The
increase Of sorghum is twenty per
cent. Tobacco culture is extensive in the
Northern States, and its appearance is an
average crop. The appearance of the cotton
crop, SO far, is favorable. The dry weather
enabled farmers to free it from weeds and
grass. Daring the drought it was but one
tenth below the average of good crop /;
and, in amount, the increase is eighty per
cent, over last year in the localities where it
is now cultivated, which are much fewer than
those of last year.

A Milwaukee dispatch, of the 1st inst,
says that hostile Indians have appeared in
Juneau county, Wisconsin. Five Indians,
n Saturday last, attacked the house Of
Er Austin, four miles from the village Of
CIV Lisbon. hrs. Austin was in the house
one with two small children. She
roved herself heroine. With a good
de, and the assistance Of a faithful watch
she succeeded in killing one Indian
/ severely wounding another, when the
took to fight. The Creates excite
at prevails, aud threats Of the total ex-
'minatiOn Of these soourges are made.
St. Paul dispatch, Of the 1st, to the Chica-
90 Tribune gives an account of desper-
fight with two Indians. A party Of six
rmers, twelve miles from Forest City, had
/. ir horses stolen on Monday night. In
morning, fifteen soldiers, who were pa-
Olling the country, found Indian trails,
d followed forty miles. They came up
th and surrounded the Indians, sleeping
prairie. The soldiers fred upon them,
sunding both, but they jumped up and
right desperately. One Indian had a
hle-barreled gun, and fired eight times
ore he was killed-the other Indian
1 four shots before he was killed. Two
,iers we're wounded, one horse killed,
another wounded The desperation
4th which the Indians fought, after being
mOrtally wounded was astonishing. A
ballet would pass through their bodies
without causing them to finch.
