PITTsBURGH, Sept. %.
The Convention OF fighting sol
diers, to meet here on Tuesday, will
undoubtedly be the largest assembly
of the kind ever held in this country.
There is no mistaking the character
OF the men who will compose it. In
several of the delegations already ar
rived there is scarcely an average of
an arm and a half to the man. In-
diana and Ohio will be represented
by big crowds of Sherman's boys,
many of whom smacked their lips
over dog steaks ut tAndersonville and
Belle Isle
General Logan will certainly be
here in the morning; likewise Ben.
Butler. Logan will be permanent
President of the Convention.
The city is already full to over
flowing, and they have not commenc-
ed to arrive from the East yet. From
New Jersey alone a delegation of
one hundred and fifty is en- the way.
Judging from present indications the
number of soldiers who prefer prin-
ciple to post office are very large.

THE PHILADELPHIA CONvEN.
TON.

1T is already settled that treason is to
constitute no barrier against admission at
Philadelphia. The authors of secession are
chosen delegates from the States they led
into war."-Albany Evening Journal.
To the first proposition we ask the Journal
to inform us ,oho has already settled" it?
To the second proposition we answer that
we do not understand by what right radicals
complain because "the authors Of secession
are chosen delegates from the States they led
into war;" when the radicals Of Congress first
set the example of returning rebels to power
by the admission Of Colonel STOKES to q seat
in the House Of Representatives from Ten
nessee. He was an early rebel; yet in the
presence of the radical host of the House Of
Representatives, the sanity THADDEus look
ing on, STOKES, with the serene countenance
Of BRowSLow, held up his right hand and,
before high Heaven, without- finching, took
the "iron-clad oath" that he never gave aid
or sympathy to the rebellion! Why should
not as clever rebels as STOKES 60 to Phila-
delphia?

NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION.

A meeting Of the National Union men Of the
Fourth District Of Ohio was held at Urbans, on
Thursday. August I'd, in pursuance Of the call Of
the National Union Committee. F. M. Wright,
Esq, Of Champaign, was appointed President, and
Newton Ambrose, Secretary.
The President, on taking the chair, made brief
but patriotic address in support Of the policy of the
Administration, and recommended Its friends to
stand firm in the right and never yield one jot or
little Of their belief In the right to representation
of the Southern States. In conclusion, he stated
tho object of the meeting was to appoint delegates
to the Philadelphia Convention.
On motion, 4 committee Of three, consisting Of
A. J. Roe, Newton Ambrose, and james Nesbitt,
was appointed to select the delegates. After .
brief absence the committee returned and reported
the names Of D. N. Fleming and E. L. Small as
said delegates. The report Of the committee was
unanimously adopted.
The meeting reafRrmed the resolutions Of the
National Union Club of Washington as platform
good enough for any Union man to stand upon.
It was resolved that the proceedings be published
in tho NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Cincinnati Union,
and Piqua Journal
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

Vallandighaml.

"The Washington National Republican
says Pendleton and Vallandigham "have
parted company" but mistakes the cause Of
the rupture between Damon and Pythias.
As we have already intimated, it is not caused
by Pendleton's disgust with Val 8 persistence
in going to Philadelphia, but because he has
gone over into Kentucky to bear off the
honors that Pendleton thinks himself entitled
to. This view Of the fact is sustained by a
telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort to the
Louisville Democrat as follows:
FRASEYonr, Kr, August 4
The rebel meeting hero to-day was addressed
by Akers. of Missouri, and Vallandigham, of Ohio.
Pendleton did not come. He found the rebels too
enthusiastic for Vallandigham, and turned back.
There was one confederate. officer on
the stand with VallandighAm, and several in the
crowd had the rebel uniform Vallandigham Is
the lion with the rebels Of Kentucky. Pendleton's
connection with Mcclellan has killed him with the
Kentucky rebels and his recent efforts for the Con-
federate Democracy have killed him with the Con-
servative Union men Of Kentucky
That's what's the matter with George"
We clip the above from the Cincinnati
Commercial. Never mind "the cause" We
stated fact.
The Democrats dispatch, quoted above,
developes another fact, that VAILANDIGHAM
has been laboring in Kentucky to restore
rebels to power, and is therefore unfit and
unqualified to hold q seat in the Philadelphia
convention

JOHNSTON vs.JOHNSON-HO
ABLE vs.. DISHONORABLE.

The Philadelphia Press of Saturday pub.
fishes o sarcastic letter from one VIM f.
johnson, spurning his nomination as Collec.
tor of that port and roundly abusing the
President and his policy. The explanation
is that the commission to w. F. Johnston, OF
Pittsburg, was misdirected, and fell into the
hands of Radical of the same name in that
city, who could not forego the opportunity
OF expressing his views.-Albany Euening
Journal.
1t was the purpose Of the Press, which is
one Of Dead Duck FoRSEY's 1.-TWO newspa-
pers," to mislead the public relative to Gov.
ernor JoHNsros's commission, and the Jour
nal has got caught.
The facts are that The PRESIDENT appoin.
ted WILLIAM +. JOHNSTON, Ex-Governor of
Pennsylvania, to be Collector of the port Of
Philadelphia, and the usual notice of his ap-
pointment was addressed to him to the city
where be was then stopping in the following
language: "HoNoRAsLE WILLIAM F. JONI.
sros, Philadelphia, Pa" It appears that a
dishonorable fellow, named William r. John
son, prompted, probably, by FoRsEY or THox-
As, the then existing Collector, committed the
high offence of taking the letter from the
post Office, opened and read it, and assumed
that It was intended for him, and at the sug
gestion Of some Of the radical cabal referred
to, had the impudence to return it to The
President, accompanied by communica'
ton which reads like PoRSEYs occasional"
writings" for his 1.-TWO newspapers" This
is what we have heard some radicals, who
claim to be gentlemen, call joke, when in
fact and in law it was nothing more nor less
than high crime, punishable with imprison.

LOCATION or FRANCE TO THE UNITED STATES.
WASHINGTON, 4th August, 1866.
Mn. SHoRErARY OF STATE; The grave
events which are passing in Europe may
have caused fear that the Universal Exposi-
tion Of 1867 would be retarded. In France
public notices in the Moniteur have reas-
sured opinions; no relaxation has been man.
Tested in the labors Of the committees on
admission; the exhibitors continue their
Preparations, and the buildings on the Champ
de Mars are carried on with activity. In q
word, everything induces the anticipation
that the exposition will be completely ready
by the Jst Of April, 1867. aal o.
II would be regretable that in foreign
countries there should exist any uncertainty
as TO the time Of the opening OF the exposi.
tion, and that in consequence preparatory
measures should be suspended. So the
Minister Of State, Vice President Of the I'm.
perial Commission, has lately expressed to
the Minister for Foreign Affairs OF the EN-
peror the wish that the various States that
are to participate in this solemnity may be
informed Of the intentions Of the Govern
ment Of the Emperor. - Il ..,.-
Until now, however, no lack Of persistence
has occurred to the Imperial Commission,
even on the part Of governments engaged in
war. Mr.. Rouher adds that in case some
country should find itself prevented from
assisting, the Imperial Commission could
not for that cause adjourn the opening Of
the exposition, because one of its first duties
ia to protect the interests OF the subscribers
to the capital guaranteed, those OF the
French exhibitors who have imposed sacri-
fees on themselves in view of the meeting
in 1867; those, in fine, Of the adventurers
who have made considerable appropriations
for the continuance Of the works begun.
am in consequence instructed, Mr.. Sec.
rotary Of State, to make known to your Ex-
cellency that the Inauguration of the exposi-
tion at Paris continues to be unalterably
fixed for the 1st Of April next, and to express
to you at the same time the interest which
the Government Of the Emperor will attach
to having this notice made known, not merely
to the Central Committee, but also to the
exhibitors, who may reside in the United
States. nH...f.. .4a.r o..
Please TO accept Mr.. Secretary Of State,
the assurances OF my very high consideration.
For the Minister, and under that authority,
the Secretary Of Legation,

THE CHANGE IN THE POST Of
FICE AT WORCESTER.

Col Josiah Pickett, lats ofthe twenty-ffth
regiment, has received the appointment Of
postmaster in this city in place Of Hon. John
Milton Earle, removed.
II is unnecessary In this community to add
that Col. Pickett performed honorable and
meritorious service in the army, and that it
is impossible for him to be placed in any po-
sition in which he would not have the good
will Of his fellow. citizens. II is his misfortune
that his appointment is made in pursuance
OF the settled policy Of removing old and tried
Republicans from all positions Of influence in
the Government, and under circumstances
which seem TO commit him to the support Of
that policy Worcester Spy. ,'
The compliment to Colonel PIcKErr is
very just, but the Radical cant about "his
misfortune" &C., &C., is what we might ex-
pect from liberal member Of Congress like
Mr.. BALDWIN, who voted himself ten thou
sand dollars for two years service, when he
was elected under contract with the people
Of his District to serve that length Of time
for six thousand!
The fact is, and it might as well be stated
here, that Colonel PIcKErT's appointment
was "made in pursuance Of the settled policy
Of removing old" politicians who fattened on
the Government during the war, and substi-
tuting in their places gallant and war-worn
soldiers when they are competent, who risked
their own lives for that Of the nation.
1t was in keeping with this wise policy that
The President recently appointed General
MCCARTNEY Collector Of Internal Revenue
at Boston; Gen. PIERCE Assessor at Fall
River; Gen. CoaoswELL Postmaster Of Sa.
lem; Col BURRnL Postmaster Of Roxbury
and Major DYER Postmaster at Gloucester,
and hosts Of soldiers in other States. The
faithful soldiers must be rewarded.

THE CONRPIRACY.

The late terrible riot in New Orleans was
the handiwork Of the THAD. STEVENS Radicals.
No intelligent man can to-day, in the light
of its terrible events, re-peruse the doings Of
the late Radical caucus in Washington, at
which Mr.. boutwell, aired his nonsense
about President JOHNSON, without at once
comprehending that the dust and smoke
raised on that occasion were for the purpose
(amongst others) Of masking the conspiracy
that, few days later, was, with the aid o
Congressional Radicals, to attempt to force
upon an unwilling people negro suffrage. 1,
is folly to say that these men did not know
what the results Of their conspiracy would
be, and it requires large charity to believe
that they did not wish for them.
Congress, about the neck of which they
had clung like an old man of the sea, fol
nearly eight months, was preparing to repu
diate them and their counsels, and they
clearly foresaw that, when the representa-
tives from Tennessee were admitted, their
careers as leaders would be at an end
Driven to that point of desperation where
rule or ruin were the only alternatives, they
played their last card for the control of the
next Congress, and a cruel and bloody one it
was. The men who, with full knowledge
las they had) that the people of Louisiana
were overwhelmingly opposed to negro suf.
frage, could plot and counsel with questiona-
BILE Union men and crazy fanatics to place
the poor negro within the reach Of the preju-
dices of the worst classes of such city as
New Orleans, are morally as guilty of the
blood that flowed about the Convention as
the brutal hands that wantonly spilled it.
They are worse than political traitors, for
they are at once false to the cause they pre-
tend to serve, to humanity and to national
progress.
