Our pious brother of the Episcopalian paMished at Gala bier, ia this county, forgetful of the wholeeome advice we gare hira some eince, has again taken to dabbling in " muddy watere."

We suppose it was highly amoa-ing to the shoddy patriots, who wis a the war to go on for four years longer, and who are opposed to a restoration of the Union. Bro ther Morrison concludes his article by saying, "The whole affair is now regarded as an effort of the Rebels to sustain their friends of the Peace Party, at the North' This Abolition editor; like his friend Lincoln, "the emutty joker," don't want peace, until slavery is first destroyed, and all hopes of a restoration of the Union ate gone forever. The people of the South want peace, and the Democracy as well as a large body of the Rpublicans of the North want peace alo ; but Lincoln and the leaders of the .Abolition disunion party, who are coining money out of this war, of course desire no peace, until the hist -man's hie is taken, and the last dollar in the treasury is gone. With blood-thirsty, pious (!)

Lincoln refused to ceive the Niagara Commissioners, fearful that peace mightlie established, thereby enabling the' "Peace Party," meaning the Democracy to come into power. That would be a dreadful thought to brother Morrison and all other stay-at-home Abolitionists ' If our good friend of the Episcopalian is so anxious for a "little more blood-letting." why don't he doff the surplise, dress in a suit, of blue, -shoulder hia musket, and " pitch in."

Brix Getting Looe in Indiana. The special Indianapolis correspondent of the Enquirer nays : "Those who are loudest the last call of Lincoln for .500.000 are Abolitionists. They don't want to go. The peace rumors now prevailing are welcomed most heartily by Republicans in our locality. The Conscription The Prayers for it. The Circleville Union, a Lincoln organ, says of Lincoln's conscription proclamation t "This long deferred, but eagerly prayed-for proclamation., will be worth a million of votes to Lincoln, because it gives to the doubtful and despondent an absolute assurance of ultimate success." Who prays . for the procla mation ? The wives, mothers and sisters of men who may be dragged iato the field, leavine them to -die of penury and want ? Do children pray: fer a prociamauon that may take from tuem their fathers forever f Do the prospective conscripts pray for it? Oh ! no. The only men that pray for it are the Republican politicians not subject to a draft, who think it will be worth' a mill ion of votes to Lincoln. - Of course, in thir estimation, a million of votes for Lincoln would be cheaply purchased by the lives1 of half a million of conscripts.

From The Boston Coumr.l " Cei Bono f Such was the qnestien "that many asked themselves as the sh run kes forms and suffering faces of the remnant of regiments marched through oar streets, Tuesday.-' Has Mr.. Lincoln's plan of reaching the James River under Grant gained anything to the nations al cause? Rather, are there uot thousands of needless graves, and, scores more of wasted millions T And who is responsible f Will not some reckoning yet be had! : Are our Fourth, of July orators. Our Congressmen, our Cabinet Ministers, our President or ourselves responsible ? Let every one ask himself the question, in view of those few worn and gallant soiaiere snorn ot gallant commanders, shorn of almost all, eav their own honor. There cannot, however, be a fairer illustra tion, as we remarked yesterday, of the havoc of war. when carried on under willful guid-' ance, than the condition of the First Massachusetts heavy artillery, .which: was among the returned regiments of Tuesday. It' was fotover two years stationed in the defenses of Washington, doing most useful and valuable. but not ex posed or "active" service,, when, after the depleting battles of the Wilderness, it was ordered to the front as an infantry organization. It marched out 1.070 strong and 30 officers, and was in the brunt of the battle of Spottsylvania Court House. It now returns with ahout 270 men.'-leaving at Pptershare about as many reinlisted men and recruits whose time is not out. and there are only 13 officers left. ; Tims, within sixty davs. over 1,100 men of 1,70) have melte-l away in what is called "glorv," certainly bravely, with no desertion, no strasglingi no slow disease, no Chickahominy Swamp, to detract from their laurels or from the record otas tine a regiment ph y 8ica 11 v 'as ' Massachusetts cou Id boast. Yet this is no isolated case, but on? a fair sample of all, and an irrefragahle proof that Grant's waste of men has not been exaggerated. Brutal Mhrder. We learn by The Adams County Union, that on Saturday, the 10th, two brothers named Luntz went to a grocery kept by Andrew Bums, near Tranauilitv. . in Adams countv. and got liquor, and after imbibing freely, de manded more, which tsurna refused. Uiev fell to beating Burns, when his brother-in-law, James McCheevy, an old man, comine in. remonstrated with .; the ruffians Thev . then turned upon him, ran ln'm out, and with a hoe knocked him down and. beat him to death. They then hunted for Burns, but in the melee he ran off, and not finding him, they proceeded to demolish things in his grocerv; when they started for home, a distance of six: miles.' Theee men had lived in Adams counv ten years, and when sober were peaceable citizens. but when intoxicated were quarrelsome and vicious. The next dav after the fracas they were arrested and confined in jail at West Union. A Republican Paper's Opinion of Stan- . - ton. From the Troy Whig (Republican) July 21. The very best thing that the President can lo is to turn Stanton and Ilalleck into the street, and fill their places, as he easily can, with men of more ability. Postmaster-Gener al Blair conducts his department-with ability and so might be permitted to remain under bonds to keep the peace; but Stanton has not one single qualification for Ms plaeeY : fie has no ability aa a war minister whatever, no honesty or sense of decency, and has been an incubus on the nation for three years of almost insupportable weight. At such a time a9 this, when the nation is struggling for for its verv existence, these cabinet-Quarrels'-are not an edifying sight, and the President cannot do a more acceptable service to the country than to give a leave of absence to all those who thus trifle with their positions, and are, at the same time, incompetent to perform their duties. No man with less popularity than President Lincoln could have carried such a cabinet so long. Recruiting- in Rebel States."

Last Saturday week a young man who lived with his parents in Somerset County, near the Cambria County line, by the name of Wertz, took a bucket from home and said he was going out to the mountain hear that place to gather some whortleberries. lie did not come home that night and tfie parents becoming alarmed, gathered some twenty or thirty of the neighbors the next day and made a search for him, without, however, discovering any signs that might lead to hi recovery. The alarm spread and the next day two or three hundred persons went to the mountain in quest of the missing man but without ayaiL The search was continned every day since, the number still increasing. Yesterday, not less than fifteen hundred persons from: Johnstown and. vicinity started early in the morning for the Laurel; Hill, determined, if possible, to learn what had become of him. His father (John Wertz) and his mother are almost distracted during the fearful bus-, pense in. regard to his whereabouts.

The People Welcome Him Home X A BO OWING SPEECH! There was a rousing meeting of the Democracy of the Capital City last night, in the Court House yard, to wel come our noble Representative, Hon. S. S. . Cox, on his first appearance amongst the people-of his District after a long and arduous session of Con gress in which his varied talents,' his industry, his 'devotion to Democratic principles and the interests of his constituents were displayed more conspi cuously than ever before. An excel lent band was present though no band was needed to draw a croud or enliven the inthusiasm of the people. The croud filled the yard in fromt of the Auditor's ofBc$, and extended far into the street, while many others were compelled to .go away unable to get within good hearing distance. The people were impatient to hear their Representative, and when he was finally introduced by Auditor Martin, he was greeted by the heartiest and warmest applause, which was frequently repeated during the delivery of the speech. Wo should be glad to publish in full the remarks on the occasion, but are unable to give more han a : sYxoPOSis of jr. cox's spfecii. Mr. Cox said that in the warm welcome he had met vith, he had more than a compensate a for all the taunts and insults which hp had received in his absence. When hit name was announced for Speaker ia Congress, thegalleries- made up of shdfcldies and placemen, who clean and lick khe platters of power had hissed it, 4s better men before had been hissed. But he could rejoice in all such contumely, for he remembered that he represented the worthy people of a Democrat-o:unty, which, had endorsed him after 'jytsa-kot ItriaL by nearly '2400rmjlty'tnrt'he" 1ia.il-ed from a city which' in pasting 3,724 votes gave him nearly two-thirds of them, and that he was endorsed by such friends as now surrounded him, who in this old Fifth Ward alone, gave him 738 out of their 848 votes I lie was glad to be again in their midst, afar from the corruption, terrorism, tri-flingV tyranny and treachery, which have made the Capital so infamous. ", He would prefer this evening, instead of a set speech, to give without comment, a narrative of the action of Congress, that the people may be advised whether he had faithfully represented' them. "I am so-used to sneaking across the hall, firing at an antagonist, that I find it difficult to talk, without some provocative ; so that if any on questions my votes or conduct, I shall be glad to hear him and.answer all that may be asked." A VoiCB. What bout the $300 clause ? Mr. Cox. I had not intended to omit that in many remarks, and will come to it in order. (Cheers.) The Congress which has just adjour ned, had not even the good opinion of its friends. He could justify the votes he gave by the testimony of Republicans, who repudiated its action. The" organ of the Republican party of New York -The Albany Evening Joutnal in speaking of this Congress, said: "It is doubtful, if any Congress ever sat, did so little that was wise, and so much that. was foolish." ("Cheers and laughter. 3 Yet am I called in question by some, because I protested against its unwisdom and opposed its foolishness. Cheers. The majority of that body was created by miUtary interference in Border States, and. was an unfit "repre-sentation of the American - people.- They elected Mr. Colfax Speaker; who had descended from it to move, to expel a member for uttering his honest convictions.

Cheers. The present plan allows exemption to him only who is rich enough to buy a substitute, whatever the cost. It is therefore harsher than the old law. Cheers, and cries of "That's soJ.'J If conscription was just-and legal, it ought to be based on a principle and every man "ought to go, on his manhood and not be exempted on his money. Cheers. It is only when the sons of Lincoln, Everett, and your millionaires are compelled to go, that such men will begin to pause about the " last man and last dollar," about which they talk so lavishly. The call of the 18th of July, for 500,000 will not only tax the patience and fortitude of the peb- le, but will tax their property and la- or, three hundred millions more. He then considered the financial condition. The tariff raises for the benefit of a few a thousand millions of dollars ; but not fifty million will go from it into the treasury. 'The rest goes to fatten man-ufactoring New England, so as to allow her to semfSo. the. rebel States to buy up all the negroes they cannot steal laughter - to shield their precious blood ! Cheers ! ; The tariff is is a worse swindle than the; tax bill ; we can 'see and feel the one and only indirectly feel the other. Take the article of steel. - An . Irishman. Isn't the article of stealing plenty at Washington ? Laughter. Mr. Cox. There is me protection given to the article there, I believe. (Laughter.) But I was about to illustrate the effect of the tariff on an article made in Columbus. Like most other articles, steel is prohibited by the tariff. No foreign steel can come in with such a duty. Pittsburg has the monopoly, and since the tariff, puts her steel up 10U per cent. The consequence is, vypur. Columbus manufacturersHrof OlcSzS hVl B velradynjpJettn king them. They cannot afford to make them at such prices ; or if they do, they would have to charge the 100 per cent, on the farmer ! From one item learn all.. : yv-;i :v Mr. Cox enlarged on the tariff policy, showing how the power to pay the internal tax was lessened hundreds of millions, by gorging the capitalists, who absorb the protective bounties so lavishly levied on the consumers. He then referred to the Mexican and Arguellas case an agreeable diversion in Congress from the perpetual negro question ; but even these outrages upon our international relations were not allowed to be considered. The African element was prominent still in all speeches and legislation. Congress sought to make the African an equal in the territories, in the district, in the street cars, in the witness box, on ship board and at the ballot-box. They did not proceed as far as miscegenation, but they did what they could to prepare for it by negro equality political and social. And all this did not put down the rebellion. It grew in spite of it. Its last raid almost caught Congress in session. It raged around Washington and frightened Mr. Lincoln and his people into the wildest panic. . After nearly four years of war and destruction, with all the means and m en given by a patriotic people, the rebellion is just as strong if not stronger. The darkest hour we have yet seen is now upon us. We are surorunded with the terrible calamities produced by sectional hate and bitterness. ' - - ; ' .: A Voice. Will you be kind e to tell us how to get out of it ? Mr.' Cox. My way is to abolish Lin coin in November. Tremendous ap plause.

(Enthusiast tic applause. Y V -;;v' Mr. Cox then touched ubon the mili- tary situation. He ; regarded Grant's . .XT campaign as a failure. Most of the Republican Congressman so regarded it. Whether. from the foresight and skill of Lee, or the imbecility and . intermeddling of the President, the failure was too conspicuous to be ignored. - It had -achieved but one success. It had vindicated McClellan (cheers) and proved what the speaker had often said, that such ah Aministration could neither make war nor -peace. U (Cheers.) ; Are we then to disband bur- armies, make an armistice, yield to the South its independence ? The speaker in view of recent events stocxl where he asways stood; in favor of a firm military position, with but one view, to make peace and restore the Union if it can be done. He had never doubted it. - It is not necessary that an armistice should be made to open negotiations; not necessary to fritter away our physical strength or to give up military, in - order to gain political advantages. With Sherman successful in the Gulf States and the armies at - a dead lock around Petersburg, it-was a favorable time for both parties to recur to the rational methods of accommodation, known to the laws of nations and customary to civilization. (Cheers.) Each party could treat with honor and without degrading conditions. Mr. Cox said he believed now as he had ever believed that such negotiations could be opened on the basis of tlw Union with the rights of the States reserved and the fihejties of the people and the constitutibnur guaran ties of property respected. Mr. Ste phens came on such a mission, and was not heard. Others have sought to .be be heard to the same purport; but the Administration has been deaf until within a few days, when lo! three or four prominent men of the South ap pear on our Northern border. They are "confidential agents 01 their Gov ernment, men of high position and standing in the South; soon they are met by the President's friend. Mr. Greeley, and his Secretary, Major Hay.

The President at once telegraphed to Mr. Greeley the terms upon which he would propose a settlement: - 1 he lull and conplete restoration' of tho U nion in all its territorial Integrity, the abandonment of slevery by the se-ceeded .'States, under conditions which should, while respecting the property rights of all loyal men, afford ample security against another war in the interest of slavery. . -; It will be seen that; the basis of this negotiation was the restoration of the Union; that at once Mr. Lincoln imposed unconstitutional impossible conditions: "To all whom it may concern," it was made known that tho President would not hear even of a restoration of the Union, unless the Constitution was violated, and slavery abolished! The "Union" was once the word. The "Union party" was the name. The "Union" was once in danger. The "Union" was to be saved by war. ' Conscript, volunteer, money, patriotism, were all called into active energy for the "Cnion;" but when the Union seems near,: then men hold their breath with joy and expectation, and even Greeley" himself desires to end the bloody slaughter and the endless taxation, there : comes the cold fiat: "first attend to the negro's freedom, and we .will hear you about white men and their interests!" Here was tJnion possible, if not probable. At least it was best to , hear; but the hopes were dashed. The Old Uhion thrice blessed for its Calamities," thrice loved, for its trials -Oh! here was at least a gloam of sunshine for renewal as of old when in the path of light the President obtrudes the figure of the African! and says to the South: "No Union with the StatcsJas they were.

Greeley, in "an edTtbrxal 'or yesterday says, "that the pacification of the country is neither so difficult nor so distant as seems to be generally" supposed." This is full of meaning. ' It means that the Union is not impossible wi&' honorable dealings to restore It. But so far as Mr. Lincoln is concerned he made it it impossible by his conduct. The peo ple are ponaenng these things. Already to my own knowledge; hundreds who once gave him their' countenance, are withdrawing it and turning to wiser counsels for delivering from these troubles; ' ' -'" ' " Will not history, nay, 'will not the liviag present, curse this execrable tool of fanaticism; "who thus: even in the ag ony and article of bur national demise - flings away the hopes" and' interests of this nation? -... w - .

While I do invoke that Providence may deal mercifully with tlie President, Ipray that the people in November will damn him to an immortality of infamy. (Immense applause.) Think of it, in the very midst of the strife -while calling aloud to some seventeen States of the old Union to send him ; a half million more to be added to the two million who were wasted and wasting when about to consume $300,000,- 000 more of the results of labor, to be added to the two thousand " millions already spent; in the mhlst of a war of bereavement, destruction, desolation and death unequalledthis executive tri-fler; this . retailer, of smutty stories; thia - vulgar tyrant; over men's thoughts, opinions, presses, letters, and persons, . rejects the blessed opportunity which . the Angel of Peace tenders to our jafHic ted land for a restoration of the Union and the salvation of our Government.

At the conclusion of Mr. Cox's address, three cheers for him were propos-: ed and were given with hearty enthusiasm.! - . - The people had their appetites for speaking whetted, and called upon.
