Philadelphia, July 11.—The action of the State Committee, which meets in this city tomorrow morning, is not prophesied by any of the Regular leaders, though doubtless definitely shaped in their astute brains. It is a fact of peculiar significance that Chairman Cooper's own hand revised the resolutions passed so unanimously last week by the Young Republican Club, in which the State Committee arc recommended to call a now convention and put up a new ticket.

Gents', Ladies' & Children's Pittsburg, July 10.—Some time since it was rumored that Witherow & Gordon, of yew Cu-stlc, would arrange for imported mechanic!) to take the place of the strikers. This rumor is verified by information recently received that Emil Dorter, an employment agent of this city, has been requested by a Xew Castle firm to get them from 800 to 1,000 foreign workmen within tho next two weeks. Ho was instructed to select ironworkers, machinists, boilormakcrs, patternmakers and blacksmiths. Tho namo of the firm sending for this force of imported workmen is not given, but the number demanded is too large for all to be employed by Witherow & Gordon. • A gentleman recently arrived from New Castle states that those men are to take the place of strikers, but it is not known whether they are intended for mill work. GAITERS, Alexandria, July 11—7 a. m.—The Ikhh connection with the expressions LOW SHOES, Alexandria, July 11.—Notice of the bom hardmeut has commenced. THE SULTAN'S POSITION several members of the Committee in favor of a new convention, indicates that such a proposal will be carefully considered by the Committee, and possibly formally submitted to the Independents. At the same time a proposition to submit both tickots to a vote of the Republican primaries, in which all who voted for Garfield shall be entitled to a ballot, will be debated. This proposal, already made unofficially by Chairman Cooper, and as unofficially rejected by tho Independents, will not lead the way to peaco, because it does not meet tho simplo statement of tho Independent position as made yesterday by one high in that revolutionary camp. This position is: "We are ready for poaco just as soon as tho Committee concede all the principles for which SLIPPERS, &c., bardinent of Alexandria was given this morning by a letter addressed to the governor by Admiral Seymour. Mr. Oartwright, acting British Consul here, has written a letter to Raglieb Pacha, President of the Egyptian ministry, announcing the suspension of. relations with the Kgyptian government, and another letter toDervisch Pacha, the Turkish Commissioner, declaring that he will be hold iv.-|KDnsible tor tho safety of the Khedive. England Probably Ensnared for a Purpose —Keply to Lord Dufi'erin. OF BEST MAKES, By telegraph to the Gazette. New Yokk, July 11.—A spoeiul from Constantinople says: Tho reply of the Sultan to Lord Dufferin is considered very significant and is leading many to believe that England may, after all, have committed a political blunder in allowing Admiral Seymour to begin the war. It is suspected from these utterances that the Sultan is being soundly advised in tho interest of some strong anti-English European power, and a belief is growing that England taay have been, after all, ensnared for a purpose which is likely to appear soon.

The rest of the ships are Philadelphia Markets. Independent leaders, as a matter of courso, are not ready to give their opinions upon hypothetical proposals of peace. But where those proposals are received, it is evident that their answer will be as prompt as tho authority to give it can be gained, and as decisive as can be expected. But it is also evident that they regard the assembling of the Regular Committeo with distrust. They regard it as nothing iflore than a " manoeuvor for position," to quoto Genoral Beaver's own military summary of the political outlook, which ho made at Norristown. Thoy believe that Chairman Cooper intends to make them an offer of peace, or terms so speciously fair that to refuse will bo to lose thousands of wavering votes and reduce their attitude from the dignity of revolution to the pottiness of a revolt; while to accept will be really to enlist under the banner of tho bosses, to endorse tho assessment of office-holders, and to surrender, for the sake of empty concessions, all tho principles for which they are fighting. It is well understood that the faithful followers of Cameron and the Administration will not surrender. If Cameron must fall, ho will fall only after a desperate struggle; he will never abdicate. On the other hand, tho Independents will never join the Regular ranks until the party action corresponds with what thoy hold to be true party doctrine, and by winch Senator Camoron's political life is not ruled. The prospect of peace, thfcreforo, is not flattering, though it is evident that a damaging blow is being aimed at the Independents. "Convert or cruah" is tho Independent estimate of the purpose of to-morrow's political gathering. WM. ALLEN'S A fire at Coopersville, Mich., last night destroyed the house of K. F. Lillie.

Philadelphia, July 11.—The action of the State Committee, which meets in this city tomorrow morning, is not prophesied by any of the Regular leaders, though doubtless definitely shaped in their astute brains. It is a fact of peculiar significance that Chairman Cooper's own hand revised the resolutions passed so unanimously last week by the Young Republican Club, in which the State Committee arc recommended to call a now convention and put up a new ticket.

Gents', Ladies' & Children's Pittsburg, July 10.—Some time since it was rumored that Witherow & Gordon, of yew Cu-stlc, would arrange for imported mechanic!) to take the place of the strikers. This rumor is verified by information recently received that Emil Dorter, an employment agent of this city, has been requested by a Xew Castle firm to get them from 800 to 1,000 foreign workmen within tho next two weeks. Ho was instructed to select ironworkers, machinists, boilormakcrs, patternmakers and blacksmiths. Tho namo of the firm sending for this force of imported workmen is not given, but the number demanded is too large for all to be employed by Witherow & Gordon. • A gentleman recently arrived from New Castle states that those men are to take the place of strikers, but it is not known whether they are intended for mill work. GAITERS, Alexandria, July 11—7 a. m.—The Ikhh connection with the expressions LOW SHOES, Alexandria, July 11.—Notice of the bom hardmeut has commenced. THE SULTAN'S POSITION several members of the Committee in favor of a new convention, indicates that such a proposal will be carefully considered by the Committee, and possibly formally submitted to the Independents. At the same time a proposition to submit both tickots to a vote of the Republican primaries, in which all who voted for Garfield shall be entitled to a ballot, will be debated. This proposal, already made unofficially by Chairman Cooper, and as unofficially rejected by tho Independents, will not lead the way to peaco, because it does not meet tho simplo statement of tho Independent position as made yesterday by one high in that revolutionary camp. This position is: "We are ready for poaco just as soon as tho Committee concede all the principles for which SLIPPERS, &c., bardinent of Alexandria was given this morning by a letter addressed to the governor by Admiral Seymour.

England Probably Ensnared for a Purpose —Keply to Lord Dufi'erin. OF BEST MAKES, By telegraph to the Gazette. New Yokk, July 11.—A spoeiul from Constantinople says: Tho reply of the Sultan to Lord Dufferin is considered very significant and is leading many to believe that England may, after all, have committed a political blunder in allowing Admiral Seymour to begin the war. It is suspected from these utterances that the Sultan is being soundly advised in tho interest of some strong anti-English European power, and a belief is growing that England taay have been, after all, ensnared for a purpose which is likely to appear soon.

The rest of the ships are Philadelphia Markets. Independent leaders, as a matter of courso, are not ready to give their opinions upon hypothetical proposals of peace. But where those proposals are received, it is evident that their answer will be as prompt as tho authority to give it can be gained, and as decisive as can be expected. But it is also evident that they regard the assembling of the Regular Committeo with distrust. They regard it as nothing iflore than a " manoeuvor for position," to quoto Genoral Beaver's own military summary of the political outlook, which ho made at Norristown. Thoy believe that Chairman Cooper intends to make them an offer of peace, or terms so speciously fair that to refuse will bo to lose thousands of wavering votes and reduce their attitude from the dignity of revolution to the pottiness of a revolt; while to accept will be really to enlist under the banner of tho bosses, to endorse tho assessment of office-holders, and to surrender, for the sake of empty concessions, all tho principles for which they are fighting. It is well understood that the faithful followers of Cameron and the Administration will not surrender. If Cameron must fall, ho will fall only after a desperate struggle; he will never abdicate. On the other hand, tho Independents will never join the Regular ranks until the party action corresponds with what thoy hold to be true party doctrine, and by winch Senator Camoron's political life is not ruled. The prospect of peace, thfcreforo, is not flattering, though it is evident that a damaging blow is being aimed at the Independents. "Convert or cruah" is tho Independent estimate of the purpose of to-morrow's political gathering. WM. ALLEN'S A fire at Coopersville, Mich., last night destroyed the house of K. F. Lillie.
