The Baltimore Convention.
yhc National Union. Convention, which
to-moriw will meet in Baltimore, is at
oneo the least important, the most im
portant of the political Conventions of 1864.
The least important, first, because it can
declare no principle which has not already
heen embodied in the action of the Govern-,
ment, and approved'by' the people; second,
Because to it tho choice of a candidate for
the Presidency can scarcely be said to be
entrusted.. The Cleveland Convention had
the elements of uncertainty and irresponsi
bility. Its members wore not elected, were
not instructed by the people, were pledged
to no principle, and each delegate voted in
absolute independence. It had, therefore,
a special value and interest, as the begin
ning of a new political movement. The
Chicago Convention has a similar basis..
"The party which it will represent is
a chaos and a, contradiction; it iu-. :
.'dudes men who denounce the war, and.
men who uphold it ; those Who be
lieve slavery to be af blessing, those who
profess to consider it a necessary evil; those
who pity McCieilan jor his failures, and
sympathize- with VAi.itbiDiGTtAM for his
banishment; many who are ready to accept
Fkemoxt, with all his radical intentions,
more who endorse Seymour for his
servatism- ~ v«tywith nohead; but
With many lenders. Its Convention will
have the power to make an anti-slavery or
a pro-slavery platform, ns expediency shall
suggest, and to choose, a candidate from
men who represent, the very extremes of
opposition.: Who can tell whether Val-
LAKDIGIIAJt, McCLELLAN, or FREMONT
will be nominated at Chicago ? The par
ly has but one common principle of hostili
ty to the Government, and its Convention
-pill have the importance of a body to
-which is entrusted the shaping of a definite
policy out of indefinite materials. ; :
The Baltimore Convention has ho such
work before it. . Its course is plain. It is
bound to reaffirm the radical principles,
not less radical than those which at Cleve
land were advanced as original discoveries,
to which the Administration is pledged, to
which the majority Of the people are devo
ted. If it can make these principles clearer,
apply them more forcibly to the. national
situation, assert them more emphatically,
we shall he better satisfied. . If it can add
radicalism to radicalism, so much more will
be gained. But it can hardly advance One
step, Nor cnn it retrograde. Its platform
has already been formed by the - people,
maintained by tho Government, .and justi
fied by the events of the war. The
Convention cannot mistake or misstate
hue principle. The devotion of the Na
tional party to the Union, its unal
terable resolution to carry', on the
war till . tho rebellion is destroyed, its
uncompromising hostility to slavery, and
determination that the; Union shall be re
stored without slavery as an element—these
■conditions and purposes wili not be debated.
They are understood, accepted, and esta- .
Wished as the permanent policy of the na
tion, and the platform of the Convention
is, therefore, predetermined by the people.
For this rcasbn.it is the less'important as a
political body, as it cannot originate, but
will simply republish, a policy; yet for.
this reason it is transcendantly the more
imposing in its expression of the national
will. .■ .
Nor had the Convention a candidate to
choose. Choice is forbidden it by the pre
vious action of the people. It ira body
xMch . almost beyond parallel is directly
■responsible to the people , and little more
than the instrument : of their will. . Inde
pendent authority it does hot possess; only
• in case of sudden emergency could it re
pudiate the candidate of the people, and
select another; and even this would
he obedience to the people. : The ' great
majority of the delegates are instructed
to vote for Abraham Lincoln. He has
in effect been already nominated by the .
National Union party in every State, from
Maine to California, and the Convention
Will but formally announce the decision of
the people. If this absence of independ
ence lessens the mere political interest of
the Conventionin one respect, the fact that
it will thoroughly and unquestionably obey-
National instructions, gives it higher im
portance. No convention has ever been so.
truly a popular expression as the Baltimore
Convention will be. Thus, wc do not await
.with doubt or painful suspense the an
nouncement: of its nomination, but listen
eagerly for the speaking of the certain word
which will inspire with new enthusiasm
the heart of the North, and he echoed with
cheers from the' Atlantic to the Pacific.
The Sanitary V.iir.
With what energy the managers and
members of the various committees have
worked to prepare the Great Pair buildings
for the opening, to-morrow, those .only
know who have watched tlieir progress,
from day to day, and have seen in a few
weeks huge piles of lumben. transformed
into a gigantic palace. Unfinished as are
buildings: even yet, and lacking the
brilliancy of tlio countless articles :;whick
have been contributed and are soon to be
placed in the various departments, it is
already evident tlmt the Pair will surpass,
in beauty, richness, and value, the expecta
tions of the public. If, while the noise of.
the hammer and saw is heard, materials
scatteredin confusion around, and superin
tendents and workmen busy, the build
ings look so well, how charming and
imposing will he the display when the
Pair is begun ! Two.weeks will hot be long
enough even to see all the wonders of the
.Pair; to appreciate the art gallery alone
would need months of careful examination;
the great horticultural display will be, the
finest ever known iu America, and the
.grand bazaar the concentrated spirit of
•Clieainut street, "w Itli all its luxury unrl
-.splendor. The : committees' must m»rk
"hard to have the Pair ready on Tuesday
afternoon for * the inaugural ceremonies.
As with Aladdin’s palace, a window at least
is likely to he unfinished. -
The Would publishes several columna
of extra cl s from the Times, t-h* Tribune,
The Peeks, and other journals of 1862, in
•jvhich General McClellan is praised as it
Shea seemed he deserved to be.. Its object
is to show the “inconsistency and shame-:
less stultification of the radical press.”
But that which is shown is this:. that while
General McClellan commanded the army,
.and had the confidence of the people and
-the Government, the radical press did all
it could to help him to secure victory. If
4o have spoken , frankly, when it became
•evident that all his campaigns were either
confessed failures or negative successes,
were inconsistency,ive are content to be
inconsistent. The*argument of tlie : World
is too trivial to be used, except in despera
tion. "I et if any radical journal chose to
dignify the little subject, it might use it
With terrible effect againsttlie World itself.
Does Mr; MARULg*i#orgct. the time when'
(Under its present editorial management,
fflie World could not find words too strong
"to express its admiration of Mr. Lns'cooN,
and when it supported the very principles
which it now affects to despise ?
~We akk requested by tho Chairman of llio Coni"
mlttee on Fine Arts or the Central Fair to say that
In consequence of the' large numberof very valuable
pictures contributed from New York and other dis
tant places, many works of art that would have
been otherwise gladly reiielvod from our citizens
Will not be heeded for want of space. This explana
tion Is made so that those who have so kindly con
sented to lend pictures for the fair may understand
why it 1b that somo of them may not bo sent for.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE CONVENTION.
BAr.TiwoitK, .Tntio 6.—Many of tlio delegates aro
arriving hero from nil tho States, but tho rush will
bo in tho morning trains. Sunday has boon vory
quiet, nml around tho hotels wo liavo not soon an
unusual stir. A large part of tho Pennsylvania
delegation tiro at Barnuin’s, yrhoro thoir headquar
ters aro. They have as yet t,niton no action as n
body, although tho friends of General Simon
Cmncron nvo urging his name as Pennsyl
vania’s candidate for tho Vico Presidency. The
radical men from some of tho Wostorn Stato3 aro
urging Oftmcron as ono who would bo acceptable to
that element on account of his deoldod action in
favor of emancipation In tho early part of tho war.
Maine will presont tho name of Hannibal Hamlin,
the present incumbont, and It is thought that ho
will reeoivo tho support of some of tho New Eng
land States. Opinions aro divided as to. what class
ofmen should bo chosen fora candidate. Some urgo
an extremely radical man like Gen, Bntlor. Othors
contend that a Border State Southern Unionist
would bo preferable.. If .this Is done tho candidate
will ho either Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, or
Robert J. Breehlnridge, of Kentucky. Tho delega
tion from New York is divided between Daniel S.
Dickinson and John A. Dix. Tlioro is little doubt
if Now York would.unito that she would be able to
name the candidate, One proposition is that. the
Baltimore Convention shall ooncillato Cleveland
by nominating John O. Prenlont. Wiser heads re
ject this utterly, and any attompt to bo governodby
the Cleveland gcntlemon will bo frownod down.
THE PLATFORM.
The Convention will take high ground, endorsing
the Administration, and declaring in favor of uni
versal emancipation.; An attempt will bo Made to
distract tho Convention by foreign issues, such as
the status of rebellious Statos, universal suffrage,
and the right of colored men to represent the
Southern States. This will not bo permitted. Every
Stato that has a reprcscntaUvo in Congress wilt bo
allowed delegates in the; Convention. This simple
and just rule will prevontiembarrassment. v

Gonoral Cameron is expected to arrive; from
Washington to-morrow morning, and it, is quite
likely that a considerable number of delegates will
meet him at the depot, and accompany him to Bar
nmn’s Hotel, where tho Pennsylvania; delegation
have a suite of parlors.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
It may as well bo made known that Hr. Thomp
son, of Beaufort, South Carolina, is at Barnum’s.
He was elected a delegate by a number ofloyal gon
tlemen in that part of bur country. Ho joined
hands with a delegate from Massachusetts, who In
troduced him to other delegates generally.

It was a difficult matter to ascertain the names of
all the delegates, from the 'fact that their names
were not registered; besides this, a large number of
delegates are entertained privately at the houses of
“friends.
THE OHIO DELEGATION.
The Ohio delegation aro expected to arrive by the
Baltimore Central road to-morrow.. They will bo
escorted to Barnnm’s'by the 7th Regiment Ohio
State Guards, Col. Harris: commanding. The es
cort will have with them Mentor’s celebrated band.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN.
The • general impression among the delegates .is
-that President Lincoln will be nominated, probably
..by acclamation, if there is no rule to the contrary.
It is thought tho Convention will get through Its
labors by Thursday, probably on Wednesday night.;

A “ COUP D’ETAT.”
There is no danger of whatthe New Yorkjournais
call a “coup ipctat” in the case of the Presidential
nomineo. Mr. Lincoln Will undoubtedly bo nomi
nated, and no combination can prevent it.. ‘ "

term of enlistment passed .through Baltimore this,
afternoon en route for Harrisburg, at which place
they will be dismissed. The 2d Regiment will pro
bably reach Philadelphia oh Tuesday morning. The
returning veterans were escorted;from depot to de
pot'this afternoon by the 7th Ohio State Guard,
with full band. Tho war-worn heroes enjoy health,
but their faces are deeply tanned by sun and ivea
tiicr. As the regiments turned into Oalvert street
from Baltimore street, keeping step to the music of
“ John Brown’s Soul is Marching On,” a large con
gregation of people joined in a loud chorus of cheers,
and a number of ladies waved their handkerchiefs.
As tho browned-visnged veterans passed through
Monument Square, they were the subject of many
a patriotic remark; Colonel McOandless being in
Philadelphia wounded, the 2d Pennsylvania is
under the command of Major Ellis, who yet limps
from' a flesh Wound received during the battle of the

TUB CLEVELAND CONVENTION.
THE NOMINATIONS ACCEPTED
General Fremont Defines his Position.
New Yohk, Juno s.—Generals Fremont and
Cochrane kavo accepted the nomination of tho
Cleveland Convention., The former, in \ a letter
dated,on the 4th, says ho thanks the Convention for.
the .confidence which led them to offer him the
honorable and difficult position; difficult, because
In accepting the candidacy he is exposed to the re
proach of creating a schism in the party with which
he iias been identified. Had Mr. Lincoln remained
faithful to the principles he was elected to defend,
no schism could have been possible.
This is not an ordinary election. It is a contest
for tho right men to *be candidates. Now, for the
first time since 1776, the question of constitutional
liberty has been brought directly before the people.:
The ordinary rights secured under the Constitution,
and the laws have been violated, and extraordinary
powers have have been usurped by the Executive.
If, as wo have been taught to believe, those guaran
tees, for liberty which mado tho distinctive value*
and glory of our country are In, truth Inviolably
sacred, then there must bp a protest against the
arbitrary violation which had -not oven tho excuso -
of necessity. The schism is made by those who force
the choice between a; shameful silence or a protest
against wrong. .
He says the - admirable conduct of the pooplo—
their readiness to make every saorilico demanded of
them—their forbearance and silence under the sus
pension of ovefytiling that could, bo suspended—
their many acts of heroism and sacrifice—were all
rendered fruitless by the incapacity, or to speak
more exactly, the personal ends for which the war
was managed. ■ '■■vf
: . The principles which form the basis of the plat
form of tho Convention have: my unqualified and
cordial approbation, but I cannot so heartily concur
in all the measures whch you propose/
I do hot believe that confiscation extended to tho
property of ail robcls is practicable, and if It wore
so, I do not think it: a measure of sound policy.
It is, in fact, a question belonging. to the people
themselves to decide. In the adjustments which
are to follow peace, no considerations of vongoanco
can consistently he admitted: With the extinction
of slavery the party divisions created by it have also
disappeared.
ir the Convention at Baltimore will: nominate
any man whoso past life justifies a woll-groundod
confidence in his fidelity to our oardinarprineiples,
I shall bo most happy to give a cordial and active
support. But if Mr. Lincoln should bo ronomma
ted, thero will remain no alternative but to orga-
Bkc against him every clement of conscientious op
position.:.

tion, a'nd announcing his resignation of his commis

attack was unwaveringty repulsed. Smith’s losses
were inconsiderable.
“(At 6 P. M. Wilson, with hiscavalryj fell upon the

moved around to his left, apparently with the inten
tion of cnveiopingßarosiae; Aftera sharp but short
conflict, Wilson drove them from their rifle-pits in
confusion.' Ho. took a few prisoners. He had pre
viously fought witli and routed Gordon’s brigade

GENERAL BUTLER'S DEPARTMENT.
Foktkess Monboe, June 3.— The enemv attacked
General Butler’s lines of defence at Bermuda Hun
dred, on Wednesday evening, at 0 o’clock, and made
a charge with the evident intention of capturing
our Parrott guns; but:they were repulsed, with
heavy loss. The . fighting continued until near
Thursday morning, when the enemy were driven

nesday, June I.—Yesterday afternoon Sheridan eiff
countered the enemy’s cavalry on ■McchanicsviUo
pike, and after quite, a -heavy engagement drove
them to within about five,miles or Richmond, hold
ing his ground. The sth Corps soon after pressed
forward and formed his rear support j and this morn
ing the flth swings around from its old posi
tion on the. right and moves down to Cold Harbor
and Mcchanicsville,
Barlow’s division, or:the 2d Corps, again distin
guished itself last night, just before dark, in charg
ing upon and carrying two lines of the enemy’s rifle
pitS. ft
" The 7th" New York Heavy Artillery, just come,
acquitted itseir with distinguished gallantry, and
sustained a loss, of nearly one hundred and fifty.
Our entire lines were considerably advanced last
night, and the impression seems to prevail that Lee
has withdrawn his main force within the inner de
fences of Richmond. His losses the past ttvo days
must have been very severe, largely in excess of
ours, ' ■
This night headquarters are again in the saddle,
but where it will alight does not yet seem to be ge
nerally understood. The sound of all our cannon
ading is now-distinctly hoard in Kiehmond, and the
fugitive contrabands who-stroll into camp report
the citizens there as in the highest state of excite
ment. .
The scene in front.of Warren, yesterday morning,
was sad and sickening to tho last degree. The
enemy lmd loft all his, dead, and such wounded as
were unable to get themselves away, in utter wan
tonness, and there they lay when the breaking light
of morning revealed ghastly heaps of doad, dying,
horribly mangled, and more slightly wounded, plied
upon one another and strewed about the held in all
directions. : ~
There can bo no question that the enemy wilfully
abandoned his seriously wounded to our care with
the deliberate purpose of imposing the burden upon
US. . . .
"9 A. M.—Hancock, is still hammering away at
the enemy’s advance picket line, eliciting thus far
little or no response.
Captain Hiatt, of tho commissary department
who was captured yesterday, it is stated, was at the
time reconnoitring outside our Hues.
Our extreme left to-day rests upon the lino of the
South River Railroad, giving us a lino of some six
to eight miles in extent.

DESTITUTION IN RICHMOND.
Rebel prisoners and deserters tell a woful story of
tho great destitution of the poorer classes in lueli

are anxiously awaiting our coming, wheat flour is
now worth three hundred and fifty dollars per bar

for a cent, arc sold m Richmond at one dollar oach.
THE BATTLE ON FRIDAY.
BaxtiMOHe, June 4.—'This afternoon’s - American
says: A gentleman, who loft tho front at 9 o’clock
on Friday morning, represents tho attack reported
by General Grant as having opened with the fiercest
cannonading: along the .whole line. Cannonading
could bo heard os he progressed down the Peninsula.
One important fact reported by our informant is
thet the armyls in the best possible condition and
spirits. - They have never in any previous campaign
been so well supplied. There wore abundant pro
visions constantly going forward. The whole army
worships G eneral Grant, and say that he is the only
man who has given them a chance to fight.'
The belief was universal, both among the troops
and residents ortho country in tho vicinity of Rich
mond, that tho rebel capital must fall.
There had been no attempted raid on the White
House, as reported, and consequently tho rumored
capture of Fitzhugh Leo and his cavalry was un
founded. •-
The White llouso presents a scene of activity un
precedented oven" during tho McClellan campaign.

Union Square this evening; : ’
Executive Mansion,
Washington, June 3,"
Hon. E. A. ConkHny, and others: ..
. Gentlemen; Your letter, inviting me to be pre
sent at a mass meeting of loyal citizens to be held
at New York on the 4th Instant, for the purpose of
expressing gratitude to Lieutenant General Grant
for his signal services, was received yesterday. =
It is impossible for me to attend. I approve,
nevertheless, whatever may tend to strengthen ana
sustain General Grant and the noble armies now
under his direction.
My previous high estimate of General Grant has
been maintained and heightened bv what has oc
curred in the remarkable campaign he is now con
ducting, while the magnitude and difficulty of the
task before him does not prove less than I ex
pected.
He and his brave soldiers are now in the midst of
their great trial, and I trust that at your meeting'
you will so %hape your good words that they may'
turn to men and guns moving to his and their sup
port.
Yours, truly, A.‘ Lincoln.

/ Washington, June 3,1884.
Gentlemen; The loyal citizens of Now York
.honor themselves by meeting in mass to express
their gratitude to tlie great soldier under whose lead
the heroes of the republic have achieved so much
for their country, to.reaffirm their devotion to the
Union and to pledge their energies to the complete
suppression of the rebellion. I thank you for the
honor of an invitation to take part in their patriotic
action, and regret that'the necessity of devoting my
whole time tomy official duties will make it impos
sible for me to be personally present. V Nothing can
be said, however, in the spirit of your letter to which
my whole heart will not respond.
Pcrmitme to add that, while we rejoice in’tho
success of our armies and give thanks to God for
them, we should not forget that there is one elas3 of
defenders of the flag—one class of men loyal to the
Union—to whom we yet fail, to do complete justice,:
It will be tho marvel of future historians that states
men of this day wore willing to risk the success of
rebellion rather titan entrust to black'
lets and ballots.
Very truly yours, S. V. Chase.

The three P. M. train from Philadelphia on Fri

claims, to,be an English subject. On his arrival here
Marston registoredat the Astor House. Early in the
evening ho left the city on tho Blooniihgdale road,
in .a carriage, and closely followed by George
Brown, of the United States 'detective police, who
has been on his track for several days. Mars
ton soon discovered, that he was followed, and at
tempted to escape, by rapid driving;, hut Brown
soon overhauled Minx, ana, produeing a revolver,,
ordered him to heave to. The reply was a- pistol
shot, and both parties leaped from their carriages, ‘
.Marston.still endeavoring to escape. Brown rapidly
followed, firing as ho ran. After a sharp, chase
Marston suddenly turned and, shot Brown through
the arm, and. with . this advantage easily es
caped, though a trail; of blood indicated that he
escaped not unscathed.'Brown returned to the.
city, and parties were immediately despatched in
pursuit oi Marston, .who will doubtless ho ; cap-'
tured. For several weeks past Marston has boon
confined in the. Old Capitol prison at Washington
as a suspicious character; but as no proof oouhl be
obtained against him lie was rcleasod on the 26th of
May, and detectives set to watch him. When ho
left Washington- Brown kept him constantly in
sight, and it seems from Marston’s movements that
he more than suspected lie was watched; hence his
attempt to leave the city in a carriage. Thoro Is

THE BANKRUPT BILL—GENERAL (JARFtELD‘S PER
SONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr. G-AKFIELD, of. Ohio, rose to a personal ex
planation. Ho thought his language last night
mighChe considered hasty, and as a reason for his
earnestness of manner ho caused to ho road several
letters to show that there was an association in
Cleveland to raise money to influence tho passage
of tho bankrupt, hilt. His colleague, Mr. Spauld
ing, last night applied language to him equivalent
to the remark that ho hadk stated an untruth. lie
did nob ohooae to continue a colloquy with a col
tcoguo who had thus imnoached his voracity. His
colloaguo wnsin tho maturity oflifo, he was a child,
and hence he thought it was cruel, unjust, and un
generous to apply such language to him.
He had homo with his colleague’s 111-nature In
consequence of his rospcct for his age. Ho had en
tertained a hope bis colleague would have retracted
tho language, which was now impossible, ns his col
league had made expressions out3ido of a similar
character.
Mr. SPAULDING, of Ohio, said ho hadno.know
ledge whatever of such a combination as that men-
Uoued to influence tho passagoof tho bankrupt bill,
INo person in Cleveland, Now York, or any other
quarter, had approached him fi\ the shape of pro
mises ot money or anything elso,"to. innuendo his
conduct upon this subject. Ho challenged the unl
-vcrsal world to produce such' evidence. With re
gard to the charge of ungenerous treatment, ho had
to say that his colleague exhibited an nrmsual de
gree of temper. .When ho last m-ht asked hfs col
whfufer he haii*so<>" roa ' l, ; lira blff?n order to Knbw

minut reiieolion lie (Mr. Spaulding) suggested a
ilouht that his colleague had road ii. 110 now ills
claimed nny intention to doubt his veracity; but If
his colleague had rearltheblll he did not understand
it. He eould not, to that extent, respect his col
league’s intelligence.
Mr. JENOKES, of Rhode Island, expressed his
astonishincntnt the gentleman (Mr. Garfield) read
ing anonymous extracts from newspapers, and let
ters equally anonymous, in order to imj>each the in
tegrity of some one in this House.
Mr. GARFIELD denied that he had impeached
.or impugned the character of any one.
Mr. JENOKES asked what then was tho object
of rending these pnpers l »
Mr. GARFIELD replied that he desired to give
information to the House that a moneyed corpora
tion was engaged in attempting to influence the ac
tion of this House on the bankrupt bill. !
Mr. JENCKES, resuming, said the gentleman
had caused to be read a slander on those in favor of
this bill, thus giving countenance tolobbyists. The
gentleman had recognized their existence.
Mr, GARFIELD said their names were all
printed.
Mr. JENCKES. Do you know them all! , V
Mr. GARFIELD replied that he knew one of
them to be a banker in Ohio.; He understood that
certain brokers and bankers in New York and else
where are exceedingly anxious for the passage of
the bill. : • -
Mr. .IE3NGKES said the object of introducing the
correspondence was to slander some one and arraign
the whole House.
Mr. GARFIELD explained. Be road the pa
pers that the House might know why, in his re
marks last night, he exhibited guoh a degree of
earnestness. .
Mr. JENCKES replied that tho gentleman ought
to. be more careful, hereafter, in investigating the
genuineness of such correspondence. This was not
the first time the gentleman had read letters which
were not sustained by the test of investigation. He
challenged any person to say that the Senate Com
mittee on IBankruptcy were influenced by any other
motives than the public good. Ho said last night,
and now repeated, that fie was willing to hear any
gentleman who pretends to bo a statesman make
an argument to show why the measure should not
be passed.
Mr. SMITH, of Kentucky, moved that trhen the
House adjourn, it be till Wednesday. -
This was disagreed to by a large majority.

Akch-stkebt Theatkf..— This evening Blr, Owen
Marlowe, a talented and regular member of Mrs.
Drew’s excellent company, takes his benefit, ami
has put forth an excellent bill, which tells us that,
besides haying the available service? of tho ladies
and gentlemen: of the- theatre,;he will be kindly:
supported by Mr. Frank Drew and Mr. and Mrs.
Charles XV alcot, Jr. It is not merely an'attractive
Dill that Alls the house on a benefit night, though it
helps, of course. The must also be a'
favorite with the playgoing world. Mr. Marlowe,
in all the characters we have seen him fill, .has
shown marked ability and good taste, besides pay
ing the audience the double compliment of always:
being correctly costumed and of.boing “letter per
fect”. in his parts. In the comedy of “Rosedale,”
which.lately had such a run at Mrs. Drew’s theatre,
he ployed the character of Colonel Cavendish May, a
scheming and baffled man of fashion, with ease,
effect, and the air of being “ to the manor born.” -
No actor, American or English, can bo superior to
him in the line to which that difficult character be
longs. '
Dan Rice’s ; Great Show The exhibition of
Dan Kice’s educated horses, mules, and buffalo, and
Mr. Henry Cooke’s interesting-family of trained
dogs antlmonkeys, will open this afternoon and con
tinue for one week. The proceeds tills afternoon
will be for tho United States Sanitary Fair. It is
needless to speak ofthe wonderful-acting, of the
[logs and monkeys of Henry Cooke, the educated
horses dr mules of Dan Bice, or the groat achieve
ments in the classic arts. There are three very ex
cellent exhibitions in one show. As the season will
last only one week, it is fair to presume ' that thou
sands will be attracted -to the mammoth pavilion
erected on tho lot in the rear of the Academy of Mu-:
sic, for the convenience of the people who desire to
see the exhibitions.

DETAILS OF FRIDAY’S BATTLE.
Headquarters, Army ov thi: Potomac, Fri
day, June 3—5 A. M.—No heavy fighting took place
yesterday.
The skirmishing at (Uffertmt points was brisk du
ring the afternoon., and General -Burnside with
drawing from the right, the enemy followed up and
madou> demonstration to turn General Warren’s
fight, but were compelled to give it up, as our posi
tion was too strong.
An attack wos to have been made iato yesterday
afternoon, but a heavy storm coming up it was post
poned till this morning.
Heavy firing is now heard on the lea or the line,
said to be General Hnneock’e.
In the fight on Wednesday, between tho Ctli Corps
and the enemy, at Gold Harbor, the gallantry of
our men was the theme of praise yesterday by alt.
; General Ricketts’ division charged a line of breast
works, sustaining a loss of 500 men, but inflicting
heavy punishment on the foe, and taking about 090
prisoners.
General Meade sent General Ricketts an order
thanking him and his command for the manner in
which they had carried the position.
. General Upton’s brigade, of General Russell’s
division, was on the left of Ricketts, and also
charged a line at the same time. Tho 2d Connecti
cut Heavy Artillery getting within a few yards of
the entrenchments, were received by.sueh a terrible
fire as to cause-them to fall back about a hundred
yards, where they halted, and moving a little to the
left, flanked and gained possession or aportion of the
line, which they held all night until relieved, Theic
loss was very heavy, being about 355 in killed,
wOunded, and missing, among whom are tho Pillow
ing: Col. : Kellogg, commanding, killed while
Snaking the charge; Capt.. L; Wadhaus, killed;
Lieut. Cob Henry, Ist New Jersey, wounded ; Col.
Trnax, 14th New Jersey, wounded in the hand ; Co!.
" Moody, 139th Pennsylvania, reported wounded.
Tho 2d Connecticut is a new regiment and had
never been in a fight before, but acted like veterans.
.Six o'clock A. M.—l-nst evening Sergeant John
Carrignn, TJ. S. Signal Corps, was taking down the
wires to where the headquarters had been yester
day. He was halted and asked what he was doing.
He was then fired upon, two bails passing through
his head and one through bis leg, the wound being
pronounced mortal. The others of"the party got
hack safe with all their apparatus.
A caisson was exploded, a few minutes since, by a
shell of the enemy passing' through it. The firing
i 3 very brisk at this hour.
In the fight on Wednesday near Cold Harbor,
General. Smith’s command took an active part on
Hie right of the Cth Corps, driving back the enemy
With considerable loss. The command lost about
1,400 killed aiid Stoimded. The fight between the
sth Corps and the efififcy on the same day was
much severer than first reported.
Gen. Ayres’ division got so far in advance that it
was flanked by a- heavy farce of rebels, but it
.forced its way back three qnarters of a mile fhrough
thick woods, regaining the corps with considerable
loss. Here they took position and repulsed an at
tack, which was made on the position afterwards,
the enemy losing at least 3,000 ia killed-mud wound
ed, being nearly twice as large as oars.
Eight o’clock A. M.—General Barlow's division
of General Hancock’s corps charged a line of breast
works early in the morning, capturing about 250
. prisoners, with colors, arms, &e., and, it is reported,
two guns.
General Smith’s command also took a lino of
works this morning, but was forced to /all back af
terwards. He is now attempting to recover them.
Ten o’clock, A. fil.—General Tyler was shot £n the
leg about an hour since, the ball passing through,
his horse's hip.
Colonel Morris, 66th New York, was killed. ’
Colonel Haskell, of General Gibbons' staff was
killed.
Headquarters . Aksiy op the Potomac, June
3,9 P.M. —Fighting has been going on nearly alt
day along the line, but principally artillery. Tha
casualties have been quite large.
When General Barlow’s division charged the eao
nay’s works, early this morning, ho succeeded in
getting possession of seventeen guns, besides 250
prisoners, but not being supported, and subjected to
5 enfilading fire, he was compelled to evacuate the
works he had so gallantly taken and abandon the
guns. His loss was very severe, amounting to
about 800. .
General Warren’s corps, bn the right, was at
tacked this afternoon by a heavy force of rebels, but
they were handsomely repulsed with severe lots.
- The IBth Corps were engaged in skirmishing most
of the day, and made a charge on a portion of the
line In the front but but were unable to hold it, and
they fell back to their former potition.
The 6th Corps on the left or the ISth have been
engaged more or less all day 4 and they have suffered
a good deal the past two days. *
An attack on the left of the 2d Corps,'supposed *
for the purpose of fecliing our left, was made an
hour ago (8 P. M.), but the enemy were soon driven
off. The loss is not known.
A captain of rebel cavalry was captured a day or /V
two ago, while trying to rally his men. He was ter-
ribly excited, and cursed his men at a terrible rate,
saying that the whole Southern cavalry were worth
less, and it was no nse trying to fight the Yankee
cavalry. Their horses, he said, were played out,
and if they made a stand they could never get away,
so they always made sure to get a good start before
the Yankees came too close.
Our losses during the past- two days at Coal
Harbor, will number near 5.000 killed and wounded,
while the enemy’s losses will be near the same.
The change in the position to-day has been very
little, our advance being about a mile beyond Coal
Harbor.
■ • Sharp Shooting.— Acorrespondent, writingfrota:
the field of operations on James river, says-: “Pri
vate Parks, of the 14$th New York, skilled in tho
use of the rifle, made his way beyond the skirmish
ers, and crawled up to within a short distance of
them. Getting his eye upon a rebel sharpshooter,
he raised his head to fire. The rebel di*l the same.
Two reports, sounding like one, and the two mem
were shot dead, each having a bullet through hiA
head.
SPECIAL NOTICES.
Kkh- Tokk, April IS.ISM.
M'e respectfully invite yonr attention to and conside
ration of the justly celebrated and reliable remedy for
Dyspepsia, Heartburn, Debility, and Prostration; The
proprietors are r-rond to acknowledge the unparalleled
success which has attended the sa'le of their valuable
preparation, known in nearly every portion of the
civilizedworld.asthe "GOLDEX BITTERS."
We risk nothing when we term them a valuable pre
paration, for they are ; one •of the few articles of th.
present day which are not a humbug ; and We are wil
ling and able to satisfy any person or persons who will
call upon ns, that the celebrated “Golden Bitters" are
a genuine, bona fide hygienic article. It is the wish of
the proprietors that the virtue of the article be tested be
fore condemning. A decision of their merits by any one
who has tried them-is worth a million of purchased
bogus testimonials. For creating a healthy APPBTITjB'
they are invaluable, and are unequalled as a TONIC.'
They are mild in their action, and operate in giving
vigor and strength to the system-—not by any change
they produce in the solids, bat through the medium of
the living principle. They are purely VEGETABLE,
being composed of Gentian Root, .Calamus, Sassafras,
and many other remedial agents of the Vegetable world,
all preserved in Jamaica Rum and Sherry Wine.
AS A BEVERAGE
they are the most wholesome* invigorating, andpakz
tdble stimulant ever offeredto the public. And the fact
of their being prepared chemically and scientifically
precludes the possibility of a bitter, unpleasant taste,
common to Bitters generally offered for sale. We es
pecially recommend them to LADIES, and particularly
to those suffering from Debility, Weakness, and Pros
tration. Haifa wine glass of these “Bitiers” three or
four times a; day will produce a remarkable healthy
change in persons greatly debilitated* The “Golden
Bitters’/ have been tried and not found wanting. They
are put up in our own patent <iuart bottles, and for sal©
by Druggists, Grocers, &c., throughout the world.
