Death of Gen. Pemberton.. The Missouri Democrat saya from all accounts, the reported death of General Pemberton is correct. Ho waB on his way to Montgomery, Alabama, where a military court of inquiry, to inquire into the causes attending the surrender of Vickaburg, was ordered to be held. "While at Selma, Alabama, ho waa approached by an officer of a Texsa regiment, who accused him of selling Vicksburg to General Geant. This tho rebel General denied, when, after further conveis sation, General Pemberton attempted to ahoot tho Texan, who, however, before he had effected his purposo, drew a revolver and shot Pemberton, the wound producing almost instant death. Our information as to the death of this double-dyed traitor is derived from parties direct from Greenwood, Mississippi, where tho report is generally credited.

The Opinion of a Soldier of the War or 1812. An old Democrat who has voted the regular Democratic ticket for twenty-five yearB, railed on ua yesterday and stated that he could not consistently vote with the party again. He resides in this township, and informs us that two or three of his neighbors who have been life-long Democrats have como to the same determination. ^Thc gentleman to whom we refer attended the Butternut meeting here on Saturday, find listened to the speeches of OOBHEES and ROBINSON. He said that through the ontiro time occupied by both speakers, he hoard not one word of sympathy for the Government or the Union cause, but the speakers uttered everything which waa bitter and denunciatory against those who are .striving to uphold the Government. Ho furtlior informed us that he left the meeting firmly convinced in his own mind, that in tho heart of D. W. WOORHEES tb?ce was not

by their speeches. We do not supposo that this man desires us to publish his namo, but we will inform thoso who desire to know what his name is. Suffice to say, lie has been an influential man in that party, but now refuses to follow its leaders any further.

Theso changes aro occurring very fiofrequcntly in this State. 'Gradually but surely aro Uio thiuking men of that party loaving it, They aro losing confidence in the patriotism and integrity of its leaders, who ore sinking' into a hopeless minority, to bo cxecratod for nil timo to come, u.-t wo now oxecrato the torics of tho Revolution.

Gettysburg.

LKTTES F&OK Da. EZRA REED.

Gettysburg is the county town of Adaine |.4tnown

county, which waa divided off from York county in the year 1800, and named in honor of John Adama. At that time the village contained but a few inhabitants, and had been laid off by James Gettys, who owned about four hundred acres of land at this place. He had two sons, one of whom died about the time he attained his majority, and the other moved to and settled in Tennessee. Gettysburg is distant from Hagerstown 33 miles, from Frederick 32 miles, from Chambersburg 25 miles, from Carlisle 25 miles from Harrisburg 35 miles, from York 23 miles, from Westminster 24 miles, from Hanover 14 miles, and from Emmettsburg 20 miles, and from Waynesboro 22 miles. At the present time it contains a population of about three thousand inhabitants, and has two Lutheran churches, one Methodist, one Presbyte« rian, one Catholic, and one German Reformed, with three printing offices, which issue weekly papers.

It has in addition one Lutheran Theological Seminary, and one Lutheran Male College called tho Pennsylvania Collego, and originally endowed by tho State, both of which are large and handsomely constructed edifices.

At the present time it contains four United States Military Hospitals—Camp Letterman, Seminary, Express office, and School House, with a total number of 1,647 sick and wounded. Since tho battle there have been admitted into hospitals at Gettysburg and vicinity 18,000 wounded and sick. Of this number more than 1G,000 have been tranfcferred to other hospitals, and 1,647 now remain About one-hall of those remaining aro rebels, and nearly one-half of the total number received.

Of those now in hospital there arc 196 case3 of amputated thighs, 243 of amputated legs, and 194 of amputated arms.

The inhabitants of this vicinity aro generally of German extraction, as is plainly exhibited in tbair well-built barns, comfortablo houses, substantial horses and farming utensils, and carefully cultivated fields, exhibiting that general and careful economy indicative of this people.

The hills in this vicinity of Gettysburg are thickly covered with immense boulders, and the more level eurfiffea with eoap and slate stone. There is but little limeatono in its neighborhood. South Mountains, distant, fourteen miles, stretches from tho Susquehanna to tho Potomac at harper's Ferry, and is plainly visibloat Gettysburg rising up from the rich valleys and stretching north and south in solemn grandeur, throwing its dark shadow over tho rich and smiling fields below.

President-Making.

The World smartly announces the determination of the Democratic party to have a Presidential Election in 1864. Our joy at this announcement will be hightened by a trustworthy assurance that said party proposes to abide the result of said Election when declared. So loog as it did so, Presidential Elections afforded oppor tuoity for what Arcbdishop Hughes aptly termed "a peaceful revolution every four years but when the Democratic pirty commenced a Presidential campaign with menaces that thoy would no abide the result in case they should be defeated, and when, having been thus (fefeited, they proceeded to rebel and break up the Union—not even waiting for the transfer of power into the hands of their victorious opponents—wejudgedthat they regarded Presi" dontial Elections as about played out. If now, they propose to ombark in another Presidential contest, all right, provided, they intend to abide the result. If they purpose to ask the victors to compromise in case of a Democratic defeat, of to hold forthwith another Election to determine what the Presidential Election meant, we think the farce might better be omitted Tribunr.

It is certainly too early yet to commence

Fearful and gloomy aro tho dark night-hours of war to thoso whoso arms and bodies are to bear the blows of tho comiog dawn. Tho Cemetery, tho center of contest and death on our lines, had been filled with tho dead of the good and faithful of town and country, who had been carefully laid in their final resting placo by eerrowing friends, and their graves were marked and ornamented by tho loved ones left behind. Tho shrubbery was all green, far it was mid-summer, ami the flowers were opouiug their richest hues, and sending forth thoir sweetest fragranco. War's desolating touch heeded them not, and when the din of battle had eased, tho chiselled marble lay thickly scattered all around, columns and shafts wero broken, and iron enclosings destroyed. War's artillery had dono the work. There was no flower or green shrub left. All waa barren and desolate, and the earth opened for tho many brave who had fallen on that sacred spot. Tho ovening's shades of the third day closed this bloody battle, and tho worn, exhausted aud dofoated army of the South withdrew slowly, and discouraged, from the contest. By its dead it madedesolate not less than eight thousand homes, and its wounded and bleeding wero not less than thirty thousand.

LETTER KROM DR. XZRA RXAD. BALTIMORE, MD., August 17th, 1663.{

To the President of the Democratic State Con vention, Indianapolis: SIR—Duties,of a character not to be refused or neglected, have caused me unwillingly to be absent from the Convention over which you preside, but from those duties^of humanity to the brave and honored sick and wounded of Indiana's boroic sons I may bespareda few momenta to share briefly the obligations and responsibilities of the Convention.

For more than two years a most wicked rebellion has existed against our Government, which was inaugurated by ambitious and bad men for the avowed purpose of its destruction, and to subvert our liberties, to destroy our Constitution and bring odium and reproach upon the wisdom of our lathers.

They arrayed themselves dofiantly against the Government of the United States, withdrew from its protection and care, and invited a settlement by the arbitrament of arms. No petitions were offered for alleged grievances, for the obvious reason that they had none to redress. They bad shared liberally the bounties and blessings of the most benificent Government on earth, and held themselves its control at the time they inaugurated war.

Every right and privilege guaranteed by the Constitution was enjoyed by them, and in all things pertaining to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, they shared as unrestrictedly as they had in every period of the Republic. They declared themselves public enemies when they fired upon Fort Sumter, and sent large armies to menace, aye, to seize upon the Capital of our Government.—

In view of this, but one policy was left to the legally constituted authorities of Govern men, and that policy was the appliance of all Its resources to suppress the rebellion, to restore order, and vindicate the supremacy of the law. This was above all other considerations, and the loyal heart of the nation responded in the most patriotic manner, and, I trust, will so continue to respond, and to aid and support those in authority, until the end ha9 been attained.

No apology can be offered for the acts of those in rebellion. Purposely they defeated the Democratic party, to give them a feeble excuse for their wicked designs, and thus have been unfaithful to their own party, unfaithful to their country, and hostile to the liberties of mankind, and by their own acts

of madmen, sought to obliterate the hope of tho world, tho free institutions given us by the blood and wisdom our fathers, which had lifted the chains from groaning millions and

It is for us now to aid with strong arms and loyal hearts in subverting these monstrous evils sought to be imposed upon us.— It is our plain and obvious duty to defend and protect our institutions, with their countless blessings, and to snatch from the hands of rebellion our Constitution and liberties. As we have during the war, let us continue

I.ETTKR FROM OKN. A. P. 1I0VKY. MOUNT VKRNEIF, Aug. 13,1863. GBNTLBUES: I regret that my short leavo of absence from the army, and severo illness in my family, prevent me from accepting your invitation to address the Democracy on tho 20th inst.

I should like to speak to the peoplo of the State and prosent to them the opinion and feelings of their kindred and friends in the army in which I servo. With those who are faciDgour enemies, where disease and death are around them, there is but little of no di« vVion of opinion, and they look with wonder cud astonishment at reported differences at home.

The army of tho Southwest is determined upon the subjugation of rebeldom in the highest and strongest sense of the word. No half-way, simpering patch work will satisfy them, and the party that attempts it be swept into a hopeless minority, liko all the other combinations or parties that have formerly opposed tho wars of our country.

The Constitution as it was" cannot be restored to the rebel States until the peoplo of those States shall rully prove their love for this government and devevoted loyalty. Until this happens the madman must wear his straight-jacket. A little reflection will convince the most sympathetic that this must be so. Suppose the Union restored, the Constitution guaranties tho right of trial byjury in the district where the offense was committed, but broad indeed would be the farce where a

LETTER FROM GOV. DAVID TOD.

1. Resolved, That the Democratic principles heretofore avowed, to which we stand plodged, imperatively demand of us to repudiate the doctrines of Secession and all sympathy with them, and to give our unqualified support of our country and its constituted authorities in the great trial of war, until the last vestige of the present rebellion ia suppressed and destroyed. 2. That the prido aud boast of the Democracy has been to bow to the will of the majority, and we declare that the election of a President of obnoxious opinions and sentiments furnished no cause for Secession, and is now no proper or justifiable excuse for opposition to the war now waging to restore tho authority of tho National Constitution over the rebellious States. 3. That tho couspirac- reak up the Union of Democratic S -id to establis aristocracies, waa ely planned and executed by tho? ?ko up and purpoaely defeated the tic party.— We havo no apologies u. the acts of the traitors who declare 1 u, .. the "election of Mr. Lincoln would ho a good cause lot secession, disunion and revolution," and we denounc all orgauizatious that oppose, or fail with their whole utrength to support the war and crush out the rebelliou, as anti-DemO" cratic, fanatic and troasonable. 4. That tho causeless attack by the rebellion upon the integrity ot the Union established by our Revolutionary fathers, under which we have received so many blesssinga, ia war upon the principles of civil liberty, and muat be overthrown to preserve the institutions of freedom and our example aud hope for freemen. 5. That whenever the peoplo of any of the rebellious States deluded into secession, lay down their arms and consent to return ta tho Union, obey the constitution and laws of the Federal goaernment, they 6houId be recognized as ciiizons ano protected in their Constitutional rights. 6. That, amid the trials of the times, the

rebel should be presented for treason and friends or organized civil liberty should show l-i that our government has, and will use the

tried by a rebel jury. The Constitution provides that the writ of habeas corpus shall remain inviolate, yet

It is of heavy bine silk, regulation size, and surrounded by a yellow fringe. Tho staff is of ash, staindd brown, and ia surmounted by a spear. In th» center of the flag is an eagle with outstretch-^ ed wings, bearing in his talons a scroll with the motto, "E pluribus Unum." Above the eagle, in golden letters, are the words "Iron( Brigade," while in graceful scrolls appear the names of "Gainesville," "Antietam," "Bull Ruu," "Fredericksburg," "South Mountain," "Gettysburg." In the corner* are inscribed, "2d Wisconsin," "7th Wisconsin," "6th Wisconsin," 19th Indiana," ami 24th Michigan." The embroidery ia the finest ever done in this country, and shows as pkin on one side as the other. Thia well-merited gift will be on exhibition a few days before being sent to its destination.
