The Union Convention at Harrisburg, yesterday, promptly formed its judgment of the political question of the hour, and gave a verdict which does not misrepresent 'the patriotism and good sense of Penn sylvania. This judgment seemed to be a general conviction, and was, there fore, a spontaneous expression of the almoit unanimous feeling of the great party of the people in favor of the renomi nation of ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The resolu tiona announcing this choice also declare against the proposed postponement of the Baltimore Convention, and are, in this respect, additionally significant of the pervading spirit of the Union party. - The renomination of President LINCOLN, as a measure inflicting the worst blew upon the rebellion, will be en dorsed by the people at large in the spirit of their representatives. Messrs. SrmoN CAME RON, ALEXANDER MCCLURE, MORROW B. LOWRY, and WINTHROP KETCHAM . , the deltgates chosen to the Baltimore Con vention, are among the strongest repre sentative men of the State, 'and a more fortunate selection could hardly have been made. The nomination of Mr. THOMAS CUNNINGHAM, of Beaver, and Mr. MoavoN McMicualct., of this city, as Serpttorial electors, will give equal satisfaction. We congratulate the Convention upon its una nimity and its choice. . • Retaliation. The most remarkable phase of the argu ment growing out of the massacre of Fort Pillow is the weak but distinct apology made for the rebels by certain journals in the North. The chief pleaders in this behalf are the Chicago Times and the Boston Courier; and, as usual, their plea of pallia tion is based upon hatred of the negro, to which the ancient precedent of putting a garrison to the sword for holding an inde fensible post is superadded as an argument. We believe the,.world of Europe, which labors under more despotic rules than ours, - will be disgusted with the barbarism which gave license to the work of murder at fort Pillow ; but what would European soldiers, if to such a tribunal we must appeal, think of the moral treason which went to hunt up an apology, in the feudal wars of two centuries back, for a massacre com mitted in our modern civilization? ft shocked the world that Fepoys were shot from the mouths of cannon—it would have shocked us equally to learn that the Emperor NAPO LEON had put an Austrian garrison to the sword on the Fort Pillow principle, and even such an act as General BurrAte.'s sup posed insult to the so called ladies of New Orleans aroused the worst indignation of the London limes and such American pa pers as the very ones we have named. Is - there no invective left for the atrocious butchery consummated in the despair and agony of nearly four hundred gallant Men -at Fort Pillow ? Had our own army put rebel garrisons to death, we can imagine the thrill of horror running through that faction of impartial patriots who have no partiality whatever for their country—who, apologizing for rebellion, are ready to mis quote Guam:um and WEBSTER, and, daring a plea for even butchery, refer us to the example of a Covenanter who, when the spirit of retaliation was an evil inseparable frcm the war of his time, threidened to put a garrison to the sword. The instances are rare, in modern times, where such an act could be looked upon without great shame and anger. If the rebels required a precedent of this kind, they could only seek it in some similar act of our own, which has not, and will not, pollute the re cord of our soldiers. Lacking this • prece dent, they found one of their own in the massacre at Leavenworth by the wretches under QUANTRELL. Other precedents the civilized war of the nineteenth century does not allow, and should the hate of the negro be brought in plea, we have only to answer that at Leavenworth the white mayor of the town and its white citizens were mur dered, and at Fort Pillow whites and blacks were butchered alike. Would the journals which seem willing to make a case for those who have murdered our countrymen be equally disposed to find an excuse for 'Union soldiers who should butcher a garri son of five hundred helpless rebels in their hands ? We would ourselves have de nounced such an act; but, should it ever talse place, with such circumstances as hive made the story of Port Pillow hide ous, it will find its only cover, perhaps, un der the Boston Courier and "BALPOIJR of Burley." As for the direct question of retaliation for the murder of our soldiers, we have the President's sensible assurance that the army and the nation shall have justice. Repre senting a higher civilization than the South, we cannot act in the same way, but oppor tunity for just retribution must surely come. This subject is now in military keeping, and will not, we trust, long remain a problem. A Mexican Future. Miserable as must have been the condi tion of Mexico under its first royal or vice royal Government, it was much more suf ferable, if we can credit the received history, under its presidents and dictators, its feudal republicans and filibuster statesmen. We may say as well that, bad as it might have been under its last President, it will be still worse under its first Emperor. The pro blem of Mexico lies in the issue between a republic and a monarchy—President JUA REZ endeavoring to solve it with the repub lic, and the Emperor N.A.Polmou pretend ing, as the world must think, that a monarchy is its only solution, and that the same theory which he forced as a settlement upon France will, in a more aggravated and monstrous form, apply to Mexico. In the -one case a Frenchman, regarded as the ne phew of- NAPOLEON, had, at least, a colora ble pretext ; but Mexico is an instance of violent and unprovoked assault and bat tery, to which is added the accumulated 'outrage of gagging. In other words, a French army has undertaken to conquer a republic thousands of miles away for the purpose of making a throne for a - robber, and cramming a foreigner and an Austrian into it. If the Mexicans were mo narchists before, they should, by this time, be converts to the republic. Graying that -iltey are a degenerate people, we gravely doubt if this is the way to regenerate them. Whatever they are, nothing lessens the odium of the hypocritic act which th ,, . Ern -peror of the French has played off upon the world. While Mexico remembers tha act of NAPOLEON, she will forget her liberty. The introductory fanfaronade to the pom pous business of placing the imperial hump upon the back of Huh° was given at the Archauke's palace at Miramar, on the 11th of this Dui - nth. The deputation from the notorious assembly of Notables, w ho sit almost like a coroner's jury upon the liberties of Mexico, waited upon the intended Emperor in resplendent uni form's, and made him such an address of servility as only Seiler Girriftunaz 'nu Esmnana, who probably holds in antici pation the coronet of a duke under the new regime, was fitted to be the bearer. The address announced the long-pent up "na tional vote," which was doubtless as good in its way, a year ago, but which at last came from the heart of the pa tient ambassador as the miraculous mouse came out of the mouth of the peasant. The .Archduke Maximmax delivered a speech, in "humble imitation of his master NAroLuorl, a speech which belongs to curiosity as much as to history, announcing, as it did, that the resolution of the "Notables"had been confirmed by the " immense majority of die Mexican people." French bayonets loriet, of course, be reckoned as the greater .part of this majority—Mexican traitors as the remainder. "Following the traditions of that new continent, so full of strength and future, Mexico has used her right of se lecting a government in harmony with her own interests;" is another passage of this shameful serio•comedy, which does not beg for controversion. " Finally," the Archduke says, " upon the way to my new country, it is my intention to visit Rome, to receive from the hands of the Holy Father those benedictions so precious to all sove reigns"—benedictions which NAPOLEON also values highly as a commodity, but which are of little account if MAXIMILIAN and his distinguished friend do not receive the bless ing of the Mexican people.. When this curious speech, which literature must register among the maxims of the wise Maxnamen, was at length concluded, the Mexican deputation cried out three times, " God save the Emperor Maxlmniten," " God save the Empress CHARLOTTE," to which the world will echo, " God save Mexico." Recalling their Spanish tradi tions, the new Mexican nobles kissed the bands of the Emperor and Empress, and thus the imperial bargain of Mexico was conveyanced off in Europe. T EE win IN VIROINIA.—The air is again charged with rumors, which, in their imperfect way, may herald early and im portant news. It is surmised that General GRANT has actively, begun his campaign, and that llicbmond Will ore long be threat ened by large forces in more ways than one. These rumors have the usual quality of sen sation, and therefore deserve a very quali fied trust ; but the suspicions to which they naturally lead will, we trust, be soon cleared by cheering and authentic news. IN ANSWER to the appeal of the Commit tee on Labor, Revenue, and Income, Mr. LEONARD Guovart, manager of the Chest nut-street Theatre, has, with a liberality which deserves all honor, appropriated the proceeds of the performances next Saturday to the Sanitary Fair. Mr. tano - v - za not only gives one day's entire income, but has taken care to select a day upon which a double performa , nce is to be given. Gene rosity so prompt and thorough will be ap preciated, and it gives us pleasure to give special prominence to an action which should be at once an encouragement and an example. THN UNION VOLIINTNNA fiNFRIIMHM&NT SALOON has faithfully maintained the reputation of Phila delphia during the past years, and has liberally pro vided for the wants of our soldiers.

The saloon needs money, and, for the etedit of the oily, money it should have. It is too valuable to be allowed to lamshlsh. WASHINGTON, April 28, 1864 Report on the Fort Pillow Massacre.

WASHINGTON, April 28.—This morning Stanhope Gaweckie and Mary Gaweckie, refugees from Au. gusts, Georgia, presented themselves at the provost marshal's office, and were released on taking the oath of allegiance. Gaweckie states that on the 15th of last month the rebel authorities honied an order prohibiting citizens from riding on the rail roads from various points in the north leading to Richmond, in order to facilitate the movements of troops, which were being pushed up to Richmond in large numbers. At the time Gaweckie left Augusta, Ga., which was some two weeks mince, there were no troops stationed at that point, those that had been quartered there having been Withdrawn a few dap, previously and seat to Richmond.

As it had been asserted by his enemies that be would not suirender the reins of government to his elected successor, we quote the following from his reply to the Congressional Committee: "My age, my services during half a century, and the necessity that one and the same name should tease to be heard in the high offices, eall me imps. riously to a private life, and to a position where sae citizen obeys and not commands.

OnATTArtOOOA, April 2,6 —On the morning of the 23d of April the rebels made an attack upon our pickets on Nicknack Trace, near Leers farm, with both infantry and cavalry. The infantry came over Taylor's Ridge. The ca vstly came from South Valley, and attacked emu]. tans °wily seven points picketed by the 52d Illi nois. Our men attempted to fall ;book, and failed. The infantry barred the way. They then tried to cut their way out, but of sixty four men, thirty-tout, fighting bravely, steeped. Five of our men were killed, four mortally wounded, three severely, and nineteen missing. Lieut. Scoulles was wounded and taken prisoner. The rebel loss is as severe as ours, if not greater. Several of our men were killed by the enemy after surrendering. Some of the wounded were butchered as they lay on the field. The rebels in the whole affair were guilty of chocking barbarity. VAIRO AND ItIEMPHIS. T. Lome, April 25 —Cairo dates of the 26th, re• °rived by mail, aay that the steamers Liberty and Belle of Memphis had arrived, the former with 123 bales of cotton for Evansville, and the latter with number of river horses, mules, and wagons, belong. lug to the 161 h Army Corps, for Cairo, and i',7o bales of cotton for St. Louis. . Memphis dates of the loth state that the steamer Curlew, from the Arkansas river, while aground at Johnson's Island, was attasked-by guerillas, but the soldiers on board drove them oft, killing the leader, Tom Rension, a notorious guerilla and boat-burner, better known as the Wild Irishman. Three steamers are reported lying at the junction of the White and Arkansas rivers, from which the guerillas Were receiving large supplies of cloth' ing, &c.

The proceeds of the Government sale of cotton here today were upwards of $600,000, half of which Will be &Mil prize money. It was mixed, and in bad condition, and sold at prices ranging from 'it 3-10 gra ots. About 1,000 bales more are to be sold here. The hospital steamer N. W.

NEW Yong, April ea—The steamer Americ t, from Nem Orleans has arrived with dates to the lath. The Era of the 19. b contains late news from Gen. Banks' army. An expedition under Gen. Smith, Which, with a portion of Admiral Potter's fleet, went up the river previous to the three days' battles, safe ly returned on the 13th. The greater portion of the rebel army is at Mans• field, and on the river opposite that place. At Coushatta Shute the rebel force was stationed, which bad about 14 guns in a battery along the river bank. The gunboats in returning were obliged to run the gauntlet of these guns. In the fighting which followed their attempt to pass, the rebels were compelled to fall back from the river, giving the transports a free passage. The boats suffered very little, some splintered wood work being all the damage they sustained. As soon as this expedition arrived at Grand Eoore, preparations were at once made for an advance of the army. We have good reasons for believing that General Barka is again on the way to Shreveport. A portion of our army is known to have left Grand Score, moving out towards the rebel position. The return of the fleet from above furnished the army with a full supply of ammilnitiOns the leek or which was the principal cause of its return to Grand Ecore and the delay at that point. The men had entirely recovered frog the fatigues incident to their late marcher and severe fighting, and were in good condition to strike a telling blow upon the enemies of the Union, A battery had been planted at Compti, a few miles from Grand Ecore, in consequence of which General Smith burned the town. The captain of the despatsibboat Diligent was killed in running the batteries of Coushatta Shute. The steamer Polar Star, with nearly 400 Confede- rates prisoners on board, passed this place under a Sag of truce. The boat was stopped by Captains Pauntleroy and Ayres, belonging to the rebel General Turchin's staff, but was afterwards allowed to proceed, the in structions under which the commanding officer were acting having been approved by Gen. Taylor prey': Obsly. It being not possible to carry out the provisions of the cartel akpresent, the prisoners were brought to this city. General Mower's division is still at Alexandria, and will probably be able to protect the people from the incursions of guerilla and raiding parties. We shall remain in daily expectation of hearing that General Banks and his gallant army have again met the enemy, and that the overthrow of the rebel domination in Louisiana is entirely accomplished. The New Orleans Era says the transport steamer Black Hawk arrived there from Grand Eclre list night. On returning to that place, after bringing a num ber of wounded to this city, the boat was ordered to proceed several miles further up the Red river, and endeavor_ to pull out of rather an unpleasant onus, tion the gunboat Eastport, which had been hard aground for several days on a sand-bar. She failed to get the Eastport off the bar and started to return, but had scarcely got away from the protection of her guns when the rebel riflemen opened on her from the bank. The rebels numbered several hundred, and their firing was very rapid but, by putting on all the steam that could beraised, the Black Hawk succeed ed in escaping from the enemy's clutches. There were a number of civilians and the crew on board, about a dozen of whom were slightly wound ed, but none seriously. We believe that there were no soldiers on board. But for the feat that the rebels fired very high, many more casualties would in all probability have occur. red, as the passengers and crew were huddled to- gether pretty closely on the lower deck.

The nomination was followed by his election, the vote being unanimous. Mr. Johnson returned thanks for the honor. Sa muel Alleman, Of Dauphin ; John H. Stuart, of Al legheny; David L Barnes, of Fayette; George H. Moore, of Philadelphia, and Conrad Schindie, of Schuylkill, were elected temporary secretaries. The credentials of the delegates were then presented. It was moved and agreed to, that the four can tested seats be referred to a committee of seven. Mr. Bergner moved that one person from each Congreasional distriet be appointed to prepare an ad. dress and resolutions, and to report the names of two electors at large yid one from each district, and four delegate. at large to the Baltimore Convention, and that the delegates be - and they are instructed to vote as a unit for Abraham Lincoln, and• to adhere to him as long as his name is before Conven tion. [Applause.] Some discussion ensued as to the propriety of adopting the resolution before a permanent urgent zation was effected, and the resolution was finally postponed.

It was necessary for the surceadul prosecution of the war that there should be no change in the Administration at Washington, for any such change would involve a change of mearurea and of military and civil labors, which main only result in ruin to the national Cre dit and national Gauze. If, on the contrary, dt.nt Lincoln is re elected, it wilt in effect reaffirm the principles which he has upheld, and the revel lion will be crushed, Tbe address pays a high tribute to the influence of the personal virtues, f the President, to his firm ness and impartiality, and concludes with a state ment that his success in the next eampaign will not be a triumph of party merely, but the triumph of a great principle. The resolutions are five in number, The first en dorsee the policy of the National tdminiattation in the plomecution of the war and punishment of tranvia—a policy which, if carried out, will result in the triumph of the arms and power of the Go vernment. The second resolution tenders thanks to Governor Curtin, who deserves the respect of all loyal men. and who is entitled to credit as *just and tried officer who has •sustained the honor of Point ay-Wants audits dignity. The third resolution eulogizes the alacrity of Go. vernor Curtin in' contribuiing tg the national de fences with all the resources or the Keystone State. The fourth resolution thanks loyal Senators and members at Harrisburg for a faithful performance of their trust, particularly for giving the right of suf frage to soldiers. The fifth resolution returns thanks to brave sol diera in the field, who have sacrtfleed the comforts of home for the maintenance of the.prlnalples of our Government. The resolutions were adopted unanimously. Senator Lowry was called on for a speech. Re was followed by Mbar& McClure, ;Ketchum, and others. The Convention continues in session to a late hour. The speakers, without exception, eulogized Presi dent Lino , ln, and were highly applauded. The pun• 'relation adjourned sinedie. An Alarming story Contradicted. The story about a large fleet of rebel iron clads at Richmond, which was pub/ished in the New York World a few days ago, is emphatically contradicted in the followirg note to the Baltimore American: "BanTirconn, _Bid., April 25, 1864. "Messrs, Edgers Bailimare American; "By reading the Sunday TeLgrant of April 24, I happened to see that the Baltimore correspondent of the New York World writes to that paper of the number of ironclad 'vessels with the rebels, in which he says 'At . Richmond, and between that city and Fort Darling, there are ten iron. elect vessels.' I suspect that the correspondent of the New York World has been misinformed in regard to the number of iron-clads at Richmond.

There are no obstructions at all between City Point and Fort Darling. Raving been there eight months, and on several occasions having an opportunity of going out through the lower part of the city alter water for the hospital (when we could not get water from the. hydrants in the hospital yard), I had a full view of the home/ads, and everything else in James river within a mile of the city. The stations of the iron dads are as follows: One, incomplete, lying at Rocketts, in lower end of the city ; the second. exactly eleven miles down the river from the city, and the third, which is termed the Merrimac No 2, lies half a mile from and in side of Fort Farling. If they have obstructions at all in James river they are opposite Fort Darling, attached to a wrecked steamer. I, with many others, paid particular attention to everything in and on - jamas river.

The committee were of the opinion that when the new tariff bill is passscl it will not on the average put the duties higher than .93,kf per cent.. and. therefore, it w , uld be impolitic to make shirr temporary rate higher than that Mr. Bfik,RDIAN raid lie had disagreed with that com mime in tt eir recommendation.

THE GERMAN OPERA.—This evening the public will be afforded an opportunity of hearing the im mortal work of Beethoven, " Fidello," which, it is promised, will be brought out in the best manner. The oast is excellent, including Messrs. Herrmann, Himmer, and Steinecke, and Wiles Johannsen and Canine. This opera hal been enthusiastically ro eeived whenever pm formed in this city heretofore, and a full audience will, doubtless, greet its produe. Son to-night. ' SIIMOR PEESLLI'S CORONET tonight, in aid of the Sanitary Fair, promises to be a brilliant affair. The music selected for performance is of the first character, and under the direction of two such coin petent_conductors as Signor Parent and Carl Seatz Dermot fail to be well executed. The overtures to PerellPs own opera, "Clarissa Harlowe," and to Rossini'm " Tell," will be performed by a full orchestra. Many of the voeal pieces will also have the benefit of orchestral accompaniments. The remarkable child-pianist Teresa Carrello has volunteered to perform. We hope that this concert will meet with the success it so well deserves, and that it will add a handsome sum to the funds of the Sanitary Commission. Smarms HltleNOLl'e second and last grand con cert is announced for to-morrow evening at Concert Hall, on which occasion he will be assisted by the same competent artists who were so favorably re calved last Monday. It is entirely unnecessary to urge upon tha public the merits of such a well known favorite as Signor Brignolt, and the reputations of his assistants stand high in musical circles. LITTLE TERESA CaEBANO, the youthful pianist, will also give a concert to-morrow night, at Musical Fund Hall. This talented young Indy has won brilliant musical reputation, both in this country and elsewhere. Tux last Germania rehearsal of - the season will take place tomorrow, and should be well attended, as the proceeds are for the benefit of the Sanitary Fair. The following lathe programme a.
