The lesson of conspiracy bas, perhaps, not lain long enough for lt timing, and the Convention Will be too thoroughly swarmed with the oraaniaed support of the di loyal : Peace leaders to make any other result possible than one of humiliatiou to the country.

General FREMONT, in spite of the frequent appeals of the _New _Notion, is not even thought of by the enthusiastic admirers of 311cc.1. - Eia—ax and ATALEAmitotrAM ; and so Fails the badly-considered movement for uniting the opposition to President LINCOLN - upon an Abolitionist war candidate.

The desertion of General FREMONT'S CaUgf,' by" so great a number of his former VVestern fidhereTts is nor, for this reason, aurpris jag.

It ever Las been a practice -.merican sshall. ot guilty until hellos been ticted of a crime by an tupa etnli rtial an , sworn jury, after an htinest leu t t ses public trial. No doubt - FICe against the a O - roan eharpd with. ~ yaw hi „ been er ,.teted, by public opinion, .without ttial whatever—sometimes so co nv ;,ned without having committed the °Deice. It has been the usual prs,c we of the newspaper press to avoid delivering an opinion, beforehand, on the innocence or guilt of the sus pected or accused. Yet, to our sur prise, several New York journals, in re cording the arrival of FnArsz 3lrmr.En, in the Victoria, from London, and his surren ider by the master of that vessel under the -extradition treaty, heads the article thus "Arrival, Identification. Arrest, and De tention of Mum:Et:the Murderer." Here by, the reporter assumes and simultaneous :ly performs the various functions of prose ruling attorney, grand jury, witnesses, and petty jury, and :with a single dash of his pen finds a true bill against Tvlttnixit, prose cutes Dial, - bears testimony anti sits in judgment upon him, anti finally brings in a ;verdict of "Wilful Murder" titainst him. This is unfair. There may be strongly suspicious circumstances, with corrobora tive evidence, against Muller, but he has Dot yet been proven guilty. Nor, indeed, looking at his case as awhole, and finding it almost exclusively circumstantial, is it by any means certain that the man will bc convicted on trial. It is even possible, though circumstances may range pretty Strongly against him, that MCLLEIt may be wholly innocent of the crime imputed to him. Indeed, so persuaded are the German Legal Protection Society of London. that Mccl.Ent may be innocent, that they have taken his case in hand, and are making diligent inquiries, in every available quar ter, to ascertain what Mut.LEn's move .silents were on the day Mr. BRIGGS was 3nurdered. They have reason to believe That he was not on the railroad at the time of the murder, and that he could not have had any connection with it. The verdict of the Coroner's jury im plicated ;HILLER as the murderer, on strong grounds of suspicion. But the in quiry before the Coroner is little more than that by a Grand Jury on a bill of indict ment; where the evidence, all on one side, goes to show that there is a pria - tA facie case, sufficient to be investigated in a reou lar and solemn manner by a jury bahre a judge and the public. Still, though the Coroner's jury names Mommt as the probable murderer of Mr. BRIGGS, the sus pected man may be innocent. it is clear that Mri,r,F.n. migit have committed the crime. IT.e was last seen about eight o'clock on the evening of the murder ; he did not return home until after the hour when the crime was cer tainly committed ; he lived at Old Ford_ Toad, wbicb makes it probable that he was during that evening near the locality - where Mr. BRIGGS met his death. But supposing that he can account satisfactorily for the manner in which he spent the eve 3ting of the Oth of July—where is the case against hint ? It was a Saturday evening gn summer, when all places of amusement in the East-end of London - are crowded 'with visitors, and a man in MuLLER's Po- Csition of life might very easily pass many hours in a tea-garden or a tavern 'without being able to produce any per son who could swear to having seen him. there when the crime mu - it have been committed. He, alone, might have . 'wandered about Victoria Park, which is near his lodging, or have spent the evening in a dozen harmless ways, without being able to prove an alibi, after the lapse of ltruMy weeks. - How many who read these tines can produce legal evidence of how and where they passed the time between mine and eleven o'clock on the evening of Saturday, the 9th July ? Let them look back, and judge, from the difficulty of as certaining the fact, bow hard it may be for jyrintEn, even if innocent, to account for 3iimAelf during these two hours. Yet, most probably, his life depends upon his being able to do so. .Ip.: criminal cases, a man's previous dm- racier is considered, especially if there be doubt. It has been proved that Mobrx.rt was a well-conducted and steady work man ; be was not shown to bare been in pe cuniary embarrassments; he was in receipt of regular wages ; he paid his rent regular. ; he is believed to have made purchases of some small amount shortly before the murder. He bad announced his intention of leaving for .ICeNv York, and stated the name of the vessel, (the same in which he ar rived,) a fortnight before his departure. Ire made no attt mpt at concealing the pro perly he is supposed to have derived from the robbery committed on Mr. Barges, and his whole manner of going on was, to say the least, like that of an innocent man. There is no direce evidence against him as yet. Circumstance, which Brno called " that unspiritual God" is much against lqui.r.a,a. lie will probably be convicted, if it can be proved that the hat found in the railway compartment had belonged to him ; or that the gold chain which was exchanged at Mr. MATTI'S, the jeweller, on the Monday after the murder, was the one worn by Mr. 13nrces and was to exchanged by MuLnEn, himsAf i or that the hat which he wore when he left Loader._ belonged to Mr. Flpects. The lc 4.7 NV Yorkpapela say that Mr- Bnfons's watch and hat were found on hia person when apprehended on board ship at Staten Island,-and that he says he bought them froM a man whom he met on the pier, - in London, - just as he was about going on board the:Victorin, The woman MATTITEws, wife of the cab man who was sent .over- here to identify the accused, is supposed to have recognized the hat found in the carriage as having belonged to .Mum..Ert. But, as there is a geneaie likeness between hats and different species of hats, her- identification does not amount to rtmeh: Neither_ if young Mr. BuTaS shbuld, believe that the hat worn by INI - oLLER on - the Voyage belonged to his mntdered - father—unless it possess some distinctive mark or writing—would a jury legally accept that belief as an identifica tion: 'LaStly, is the selling of the Albert chain to Mr. DEATH, the jeweller, who also has been sent over from London to New York. On Monday, July 11, M r . DEATH received a broken Albert gold chilu from a person to him unknown, and gave him for it another Albert chain and a finger ring. Bating been shown a photograph of INT - c - LrEit he could only say it had the sonic character of face as that of the man be dealt with. At I\e* York, he may identily Mul.LEn ac the man. It is on evidence that, after July 11th, Mur.t.En. pawned an A I bert chain :with a Mr. AN ;sus. If Mr. DEATH can identify that chain by his private.shop 7 lnark as that which he traded oft with Mut.L - En, and if the chain he (Mr. DEATH) Ohl allied is also proved to have be longed to Mr. Bakes, the case against MGT, It It will be black indeed. But One Albert chain is like another as one pea is hke another in a pod, and, unless the first chain is proven to havebeenMr. ButoOs's, there will be a hitch in the ease. The fact" that the chain stolen front Mr.i'Butoos. was broken, and that the chain exchanfr.ed,With_ Mr. DEATH is also broken, is strongly: snspleions. The identity may be provable by coMparing the broken , link with the chain in Mr.DEATH'S possession. The circumstantial ntrideneo against 3.11712.zu. is 'very great, and makes prini,At facie sttspicion of MutAx.res guilt. But circumstances alone are not evidence. - It is very singular that the persons who first discovered, in the railway cArriage, that the crime had been committed, were -two cleiks in the same eounting-bouse with the murdered man. No one suspects them, but the fact shoWs the necessity of not accopt trig a coincidence as conclusive proof of girilt: It is sing - ular, too, the fact of two men havitg been seen in the railway carriage with Mr, BRIGGS, as sworn to be fore the corener's, inquest. :What became of the second I-, an'J It is hard to reconcile his presence there with the hypothesis on which the charge against MULLER is ilt'ent9 • We have stated the leadiosnould be eon remarkable ease.—' - iried, but ill - cruEit is deinned .3-tr3'the:newspapers proclaiming _nin'a murderer on the mere impression of his &tilt as a self-evident conclusion.

This, if we understand the subject, would only make matters worse. But when rebels feel licensed to say, besides such sneezing words as these, such others as that "Peace, the pearl of great price, is only to be found in Pennsylvania," Penn sylvanians, for their own honor, have something to cherish against the day of reckoning. HON. GEORGE S. HILLIARD 7 a Democrat, who voted against Mr. LINCOLN in 1860, intends to vote for him in 1864. He was advertised to speak at a recent McClellan meeting, but did not make his appearance on the stand. Ills reasons may be inferred from a remati: he subsequently made to a friend.• After claiming to be still a Demo crat, and to differ from the present Admi nistration in certain respects, he added: "As the rebels went out under the present Administration, they shall, by the grace of Cod, come back under it !

RECONNOISSANCE AY PART OF onnor.. 2 s onmnun—. A SHARP RN GAGISIVERNT WITH. TaIiURFA.% Ia '/DE FfltLD, August 25, 1804—yesterday a reconnoissance was made by a detachment from General crook's command, consisting of the 9th and 14th Vireinis and 84th and 91st Ohio, of John son's brigade. Duval's division ' with a regi ment of cavalry, under Colonel Lowell, which latter Was et/rowed of two squadrons of the 22d Pennsylvania, commanded by Major Myerd, and two squadrons of the 2d Massachesetts. This reconnoissance was to ascertain the strength. and position of the enemy in our front. This force was instructed to move (I.llCitly en the right flank of the enemy's eltirmich line, and, if possible, get in their rear, whilo another force, consisting of the 10th, 14th, and 15th Virginia infantry, of Thohurn's division, moved nut to attract their attention in front. It was intended that the force thus deployed should capture the whole or a greater portion of the enemy's skirmish line. At precisely twelve o'clock Duval moved his force to the front. and advanced in two battalion lines ; keeping his rear as much as possible - under cover, to prevent the enemy from ascertaining his strength or probable intentions. He had not proceeded far when be encountered the advance of the enemy's skirmish line, who were under cover of rail-pens, hastily thrown up, each affording shelter for five or Six men. These rail-pens were situated about. eight hundred yards in advance of our skirmish line, and an open field with a belt of woods , on the right and left, and a large corn-field in the rear. As soon as the ene my's advanced line discovered the approach of our they hastily retired to the corn-field in the rear, where a. portion of their reserve was stationed, and who were immediately drawn up to resist our further advenee. Col. Duval continued to move forward his force. a portion c,f which was completely hid from the enemy's observation, until he got nearly four hundred yards in the rear, when, sud denly discovering him, trey wheeled Into line and opened a heavy fire on his flank, compelling' him to change front and lace our line to the right. This incre had the desired effect, for they were shortly driven to the rear, when our cavalry were ordered to advance and charged them, which they did in tine style, killing and wounding quite a num brr and capturing six prisoners. In this °barb-a Major Myers, of the 22d Pennsylvania ilavaley, scatwounded by a splinter of a shell in the leg. As soon as the enemy became convinced that we medi tated an attack on his skirmish line they brought reinforcements rapidly forward from the direction of Charlestown, and moved one battery of artillery to a commanding position in a piece of woods, the fire from which enfiladed our advance. As soon as the enemy's battery commenced firing, Battery B,sth U. S. Artillery, commanded by Capt. Dupont, and Battery D, let, Pennsylvania, com manded by Capt. Ramsey, opened on them with marked effect. and an artillery duel was commenced, which lasted for about twenty minutes, when the enemy's battery was withdrawn' Our threes then tell back. 'We took about thirty prisoners. It was no pert of the General's plan that they should bring On a general engagement. On the contrary, they received strict orders to avoid lighting as much as possible. The result of the reconnoissance established the fact that the enemy wove still in our front in considerable force• 'l•he prisoners captured state that Rhodes' and Bamseur's ()MOODS are detailed for picket duty in our immediate front, and that the rest of the relys.l forces, under Early, are at Charlestown. They dif fer in their statements with respect to Dongstreet, and some of them positively assert that he is here in person, whilst others are equally confident that b e is not Nero, but that two of his divisions have crowd unCer comrnand of General Motet. Our total loss in Crook's command will not exceed forty three wounded and six hilted. After we fell back yesterday, the enemy resumed his old position, and pieltct ekirmithing was kept up until dark. 1.1.,1.,,m0itu, August 26.—The rebel movements, as recorded in the information received here from the Shenandoah Valley, indicate another invasion of Maryland or a feint. General Sheridan's Position at Harpers Ferry gives him the shorter line of tra vel into the Middletown and Bloomsbero , valleys, and a battle somewhere in the vicinity of Antietam is not an improbability. The activity with whloh OUT reconnoissances have been made sham; that the enemy will not be permitted to get the start of our lereeS. GENERAL TORBERT'S CAVALRY RECONNOINAANCE--.

SECURE A BUDGET FOR WIRE, CFSTLDREIV. OR SWEETEN:ART.—There is nothing snore conducive to the peace anti hi/pi/DIN , of home than an occasional budget of pure, healthful ConfeetionS. The place to get them in greatest perfection, such as are not found in any other establishment In Philadelphia, Is at the popular old house of Messrs. E. G. Whit man & Co., No. 518 Chestnut street, next door to Adams' Espt eSS. The trade of this house is fine COL leCtionfi is - larger than any other is the city, and for this reason their prices are correspondingly moderate.

How THE Loss CAME rinouT.—"Nobody ever lost anything by love," said a sage-looking person. "That's not true,” said a young lady, who heard the remark, c for I once lost three nights' Sleep." The young gentleman mho eauserl this loss wore a full suit that was made at tha Brawn Stone Obv,hing }Jail of Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Ohest nut street, above Sixth, "which accounts for the milk in the cocoanut." NATVIileg3 °MANORS.— Erery seven years, we are told, the human body is renewed ; every particle of which it was composed s t the b,ginning of that period will have disappeared before the end of it, and 'fresh matter will have been drawn from the earth, air, and water, to supply the void. So with the sea; it is continually ascending to the clouds in vapor and descending in rain. Even the clotting upon OW backs comes to rags, and from that to paper, and that paper may have printed upon it advertiseMentS of the very place where that cloth leg was formerly bought, as at Charles Stokes Sr. Co.'s one•price, under the "Continental,' men tioned in this notice.
