SECOND DISPATCH.

WASHINGTON, July THE brief tclc-
gram from Admiral Porter to the Secre-
tary of the Navy, announcing the surren-
der OF Nicksburg on the Fourth day OF
July, was received a few minutes of one
O'Clock.
The news spread with astounding ra-
pldlty throughout the city, exciting the
most marked and expressive enthusiasm
The intelligence was at once communico-
to the President by Secretary Wellcs in
person.

freedom; no, not for negro freedom, even;
for though we tear down this fair fabric,
we make no negro free, bnt for a vain and
mad attempt at negro freedom. That is
the poor, the abortive, the absurd, the
wicked purpose for which we are eX-
pected to sacrifice our sacred inheritance.
God forbid it.
Here on this consecrated spot of earth,
where the foundations were laid of the
best Government the world ever saw, let
us renew our vows TO the Union and send
salutations TO our brethren. Talk not of
secession-go not rashly out Of the
Union-dim no star of our glorious flag
give us time to place ourselves right in
respect to your 'Epeculiar institution,
and TO roll back the cloud that now OBJ
scures. for the moments, our devotion to
the Union as it is. Speak thus to the
Southren States, and follow our words
by fitting deeds, and Pennsylvania can
stop secession or cure it if it occurs.
We can win back any State that may
stray off, if only we can prove our own
loyalty to the Constitution and Union as
our fathers formed them.
And would it not be a proud PAGE in
the history of Pennsylvania that should
record the rescue of the American Union
from impending ruin, by prompt, gener-
Gus, united action of the people of Penn
sylVania -? That great glory may be ours
Let US grasp it ere 1t be forever too late

Those Nine Hundred Thousand.
AFTER TEN SON.

Where, o Father Abraham, IS that lime
hundred thousand strong,
Which Gov'nef Andrew said the roads Of
the Old Bay State would throng?
Up to the skies the clouds of dust soon he
said he would descry,
The dust would seem by Andrew thrown
and stuck in Abrams eye.
Go gather up the torches of the wide ava
ken'd band
That lit the fire of civil war to dcsolate the
land,
To light that party to the grave they next
will needed be,
In '64 they'll be no more and white men
will be free.s
Sconrge from your midst those false>tongues
priests that led the people on,
Array'd brother against brother, and father
against son;
We call upon you now again, as Moses did
of old.
'' To your tents, o Israel, return untold the
fold.
Come back i'll time, save name and fame.
Serve with radicals no more
Radicals! accursed name, be buried wholly
IN their shame,
II we are left to vote again in Eighteen
Sixty Four
o Father, Father Abraham, when next YOU
call for aid,
Ask it but of the loyal men, they'll meet
the Southern raid
On that " nine hundred thousand men -
you surely Will be told,
They'll never help you, Abraham, they'll
leave you in the cold.

Some weeks since we asked our subscri-
bers to come up and pay us what was due
on subscription. In response to this re-
quest a largs number came up and paid
what they owed, and also in advance for
the coming year. It is now duty. and a
pleasure us to return our sincere thanks
to them for the favor conferred upon us,
which enabled us to meet the large ad-
vance in the price of paper and other
printing material. We are therefore un-
der great obligations to our old subscri-
bers, and hope .'that they may live a
thousands years and their shadows never
grow less" We have also since the first
of January received goodly number OF
new subscribers, a portion of. whom are
Democrats and the balance Conservative
men who cannot swallow the dose which
Abraham Lincoln administered to them
on the first day of january 1863. They
enlisted under the Union banner which
is now in the possession Of the Democracy.
and left the party which was swallowed
up in the gulf of Abo!itionism on the
celebrated first day of January last.

DIR. RADWAY'S PILLS.
SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHERS

Purgative medicines, as used by Phys
icians, and prepared in accordance with
the American and European Pharmaco-
peias, and all Purgative Pills, during their
operation, weaken the patient. In eases
Of Yellow Fever, Fever, and Ague, Ty-
phus, typhoid Scarlet Fever, Small Pox
Measles, Erysipelas, and many other dan
gerous diseases, purgation, which is in
fact highly essential, becomes dangerous
from the fact that the purgative medicines
and pills of the old system produce toe
sudden depletion of the vital powers, and
waste of the body. RBDWAY'S REG
ULATING PILLS provide against thi.
difficulty. The medicinal properties OF
their composition possess wonderful un.
tritious powers Six of RADWAY'S
PILLS will impart as much nourishment
to the blood, and strength to the wasting
body, as one ounce of the best wheat -four
so that in all cases where purgaton is re-
|quired. RADWAY'S PILLS will, in less
time than any other medicine, secure an
evacuation, and, at the same time, nourisI
and strengthen the system. This peculiar
power is possessed alone by RADWAY'S
REG ULATING PILLS.
In attacks of Biliousness, Inflammation
of the Bowels, Liver, Kidneys, dose OF
from six to eight Of
RADWAY'S REGULATING PILLS
