The Union Conventions yesterday were composed of men more intelligent and ear nest than is frequently the case in such bodies, and their action, therefore, was un usually harmonious and satisfactory. The nominations are t hose: generaly desired, and those which the people will approve. in most cases the reputation and ser vices of the candidates insure triumphant Union victories in October. At the late hour of this writing the full report of the doings of the Conventions has not reached us, but we are especially glad to know of the renomination of WiLmear D. KELLEY as the Representative in Congress . for the Third district. Judge KELLEY was floral ; Bated by acclamation, as he deserved to be, for in Congress and out of he has represented Pennsylvania worthily and well, and has consistently pursued • a course of uncompromising' and: intelligent patriotism. CHARLES, CrI!TE4, was also renominated by acclamation fiy!Congross from the Second district, and May well be satisfied with this high mark of appreciation of his services. From the Fourth 'district, LEONARD MYERS was renominated by a vote which shows the confidence of his constitu ents in his integrity and loyalty. We give our earnest approval of the choice of the First district, JurrN.M. BUTLER, especially as the nomination was so long in doubt. All of these Congressional nominations are excellent, and will be ,enthusiastically sus tained by the National Union party. The nominees of the City Convention are citi• zens well known and worthy to be trusted. The Legislative,ticket, so far as we have ascertained, will be composed of good men ; and it is the duty of all loyal citizens to at once begin the work of the campaign. The Weldon Road. Military affairs remain in that uncertain condition which is likely at any day to be changed to one of startling interest. The future of the campaign around Petersburg depends on the fate of the Weldon road. If GRANT holds that road it is impossible that LEE should maintain his present position; it is certain that he will be forced to adopt a new plan of campaign. Its value to him In the present disposition of his forces, and the lines he has resolved to hold, ought to be plain ;from the determined efforts, he has made to retake it. During the past ten daysle has hurled his men against it with a desperation which took no count of life or doss, and yet he has signally failed to drive the 2d Corps from its entrench ments. Nor is the fighting for it ended. EARLY'S retreat was not entirely the re sult of SHERIDAN'S opposition, for though our army in the Shenandoah was success ful hi preventing the advance of the enemy, no energetic movement to drive him back had been made. The retreat , was volun tary, and why ? It would seem that the capture of the Weldon road has convinced LEE that of the thirty or forty thousand men under EARLv, twenty thousand would be of more use around Petersburg than in the Shenandoah.: We think, therefore, that a large part of EARLY'S army has been re called expressly to enable Lim to regain the Wedon road. This he must have, or 'change his present plans of defence, and he can only have it by concentrating all his forces. What could more clearly show the necessity of reinforcing GRANT ? Similar situations will frequently occur in the fall, campaign, and_ the dnly way to enable' GRANT to use them to our advantage is to give him every man he wants. The English Railroad Murder. After a careful hearing of the case, in which the accused had the benefit of able counsel, the U. S. Commissioner at New York (Mr. NEwron) has decided that FRANZ MULLER, demanded under the ex tradition treaty of 1848, as - charged with The murder of Mr. THomAS BRIGGS, near Hackney, London, on the night of July Oth, 1864, shall be surrendered to the agents of the British Government, to be by them taken back to England, there to be dealt with according to law. Commissioner NEnprox had a very plain course to pur eue. The accused is not a British subject, but Mr. Bnioos was—though that does not alter the question, for if one foreigner is charged, under strong evidence of fact or circumstance, with killing another within the British dominions, and he should be found on American soil, he is claimable by England under the treaty in question. Mr. BLANRmAN, one of the counsel assigned to the accused, merely asked for delay— for time to get up a legal defence, and Mr. CHAUNCEY SHAFFER, the other counsel, who is what is called "a political lawyer," contended, first, that the President and Senate of the United States had no right to make an extradition treaty with England, and, at any rate, as the United States had a feeling, just now, that English money and English men were en gaged in blockade-running, and in fitting out pirates like the Alabama to prey on American commerce, all treaties between the countries had thereby been torn in pieces. " The treaty, then," he said, 41 under which the,rendition of this man is demanded is suspended, and is a dead letter until this mixed and unsoleran state of war on the part of Britishsubjects against the Government ceases. England, to claim this man, must come into court with clean lands. She must notcome here and ask of - us to honor her justice when she dishonors her own justice, breaks her treaties, and cries peace and neutrality while,at the same time she lets slip the clois of war, and with piratical vessels drives our peaceful com merce from the ocean. This cannot long continue. Better for us we had war at once, wheewe could send out our cruisers and assert our rights of retaliation on the ocean." This Was probably meant to please 'the speaker's political friends, who applauded the sentiment loudly, but was wholly devoid of law. The point for the Commissioner was simply—had he as -much evidence be fore him, implicating the accused in suspi cion, as would reasonably satisfy a magis trate in London that he ought to be com mitted for trial, or upon which a Grand Jury would find "a true - bill." may be alleged, without committing the indecency or the unfairness of branding the man in the newspaper s as "Muller the Murderer" before he has been tried and - convicted, that there are many suspicious eircum ,stances against the accused. • England repeatedly has availed herself Hof the provisions of this treaty, but we can not bring to mind even a single instance in which this country has had occasion to demand a fugitive criminal from the old -country, In only one case, to our know ledge, was this extradition treaty abused 'by England. Some ten years ago, a clerk 'from England was charged with forgery and larceny. The mere abstraction of money committed to his charge, or under his -control, was only a misdemeanor, and therefore the accused was not subject to :.extradition under the treaty. Evidence of ibrgery, howevei,,was added, and the man was delivered up for trial in England. The legal authorities there indicted , him, -separately, for forgery and for larceny. `The Grand Jury ignored the bill for the; ' felony, but found that for the misdemeanor,, and . the man, convicted of the midor offend°, waa'sentenced to a heavy punish ment: It was the opinion of eminent j u k4t o o n both sides of the water that as, thegniooner was not tried for forgery,. the charge on which he had been subjected to the extradition treaty, he ought to - have been sent back to New York—in a word, that it was unfair to remove him on a heavy charge, (which, it appeared, could not be sustained before the Grand Jury even on prima facie evidence,) and to try, convict, and punish him on a minor charge, which did not bring him under the treaty. it certainly looked like obtaining - a prisoner upon false pretences. MULLE6 is removed on a charge of murder, but we doubt whether, should the evidence fall short of proving that, he can be tried, the provisions of the treaty considered, for the minor offence of manslaughter. The Cotton Famine In England. The Cotton Famine, if all accounts be correct, will soon be a thing of the past. In a recent English journal we read that 15,000 bales of cotton had been received at Liverpool in one day—cotton which had been brought from Wilmington by blockade runners. In another newspaper it was stated that blockade-runners had brought 8,000 bales to Bermuda. We know that scarcely a day passes without the arrival of smuggled cotton at the Bahama Islands, and we have heard, also, and believe that a fleet of swift steamers, expressly built to run to and from Nassau and Wilmington, was in the Clyde, ready to start for the Bahamas. It is evident that while Wil mington,. though nominally blockaded by us, is almost an open port, the shipment of cotton therefrom will be large. On such shipments the rebels rely to pay the interest upon the loan which they raised in Europe, and it must further be considered that . the vessels which take cotton from Wilmington, take arms, ammunition, cloth ing—all things needed, in fact, into that port. It is to be lamented that, three years ago, a naval force was not detached, stiff ciently numerous, strong and active, to abut out all the free-traders, As it is, there is only a paper blockade of Wihnin'gtou, and matters will be worse, when from an additional dozen to a score of 'new Scotch steamers are put upon the line. As it is, the cotton famine in Lancashire is virtu ally ended., Prices range high,+ but the stoek is large, all circumstances cOnsidered. The year 1800 was the animus wfairabilis of the cotton trade. Mr. ARNOI.6, who has written a volume called "The! History of the Cotton Famine in Englaull, from the Fall of Sumpter to the Passing ,Of the Public Works Act," has collected the statistics of the trade. Lancashire was its main seat ; Manchester its capital ; Liverpool its port. Let us select from this work a few of these data. • In the year 1860 there were in fall work in Great Britain, 2,650 cotton factories, worked by a population of 440,000 persons, whose wages were $57,500,000 for that year. Of these work-people ninety per cent. were adults, and fifty-six per cent: were females. The machinery was driven by a power equal to three hundred thou sand horses, and was governed and guided by, quick eyes and active fingers. The number of spindles at work was 30,387,467 ; each spindle making from four to six thou- sand revolutions per minute, according to the - fineness of the thread spun. To feed these millions of spindles were required 1,051,623,380 pounds of prepared cotton. The actual donsu mpti on for the year 1860, inclusive of waste, was 1,083,600,000 pounds of cotton, and the total , imports during that year exceeded that amount by over 7,000,000 pounds. The capital in vested in the mills and spindles, and the wages to keep them going, was $325,000,- 000. The value of the cotton manufacture produced in 1860 amounted to $380,061,900, being nearly $30,000,000 more than the gross revenue of the British Isles for that year. Cotton was Ring. England was supplying the world with its manufactures. On a sudden there arose a terrible and unexpected crisis. All the machinery in Cottondom Was thrown out of gear. ill importation of cotton was suspended. Near ly half a million of hands were thrown out of employment.. All the manufacturers' and brokers' profits were stopped. For a time, the Cotton Tra.clip was in abeyance. The bombardment of Fort Sumpter did it. That blow was given in April, 1861. All the unsold cotton in, the English mar ket increased in value. Before 1861 was closed the price ran up nearly one-half, and the holders prospered. At the begin: ping of 1801 the markets were glutted with goods, for the production had been nearly as great in 1859 it's it was in 1800. Manu factured goods to the value of $100,000,000 were on hand. The American war broke out, and by raising the value of the raw material slackened the rate of production, and gave the manufacturers time to get rid of their stocks at much advanced prices, and to liberate their capital. • Thus the blow fell lightly at first. There was plenty of cotton in stock; but if the Ame rican war continued, there would be scanty chance of renewing it. Few Englishmen thought the war would last. The masters, who sold off their accutnulated stock of manufactured goods at an immense ad vance, were happy over their great gains. The hard times fell upon the operatives,, who least could stand up against them. Dives rejoiced, but Lazarus was to be famished. Early in November, 1861, exactly 49 mills had stopped work in Lancashire ; 119 were working half time ; 8,063 hands were out of work. The manufacturers were then selling off the stock, at immense pro fits, and the owners of cotton had propor tionably raised . their prices. The opera tives, beginning to suffer from "short time," drew their money out of ihe savings banks, which had not been so depleted since 1848, the year of revolutions. Day after day, the number of the unemployed increased. Men and women idled in the streets, wishing to labor but turned from it. Distresfk came on, slowly but 'irresistibly, like a river of lava creeping over the plain in the valleys of a volcano. The distress came—not like a rushing torrent, and there was time to prepare for meeting it. The price of .Aneriean cotton was rising so much that to manufacture it would not pay. Surat cotton was cheaper, but its staple is coarse and short, and its Condition. so dirty that men and masters alike disliked to work it. By December, the distress had set in. A large number of girls who used to work in the factories were thrown out of work, and their de moralization was to. be feared and pro vided for. The Poor Law boards gave much relief; private subscriptions, in which the mill. owners very scantily joined, poured in liberally ; the out-of-work girls were in structed, by the ladies of their districts, in the art of sewing, and soon were apt hands at making piles of clothing for distribution, and were themselves .well paid. They were also taught reading and history, taken into the public kitchens (for it had become necessary to feed the unemployed), were taught housework and cooking—the great aim was to keep from idleness. The un employed, for the most part, declined living on charity—not until they had pawned almost every thing but the rags they wore did they accept free food. Early in 1862, the sum of $2,600,000 had been sent from - various parts of England in aid of the Lancashire, sufferers. Manches ter, rich but stony-hearted, scarcely be lieved, in the famine, and did not organize a Relief Committee until the midsummer of 1862, and this finally merged in, one Central Committee, of which the Earl of. DEnny, himself a Lancashire man and an extensive Lancashire land-owner, was made president, his own subscrip tions amounting to $15,000. By the close of 1862, Lancashire, now thorough ly awakened, had subscribed $2,250,000 to the 'relief of the unemployed. ' At that time as many as 271,983 persons had been relieved by the Poor-law Guardians, at a cost-of $lOO,OOO a week, and.the gene ral committees also supported 236,310 por tions, at a cost of $221,780 a week. Here is a- total of 568,293 persons in one county maintained by charity and by money drawn from the public by the legalscrow of poor-law taxation. Taking the average wages at $40,000,000 a year, the anent- ployed in Lancashire, towards the close of 180, were receiving one-third of their wages. England is a great nation to have done this. Not one case of starvation oc curred in consequence of the cotton famine. The conduct of the sufferers was generally quiet. Nothing like a riot occurred all through. In 1863 matters mended. The stock of cotton at Liverpool, the result of successful and systematized blockade-running, became so great that many mills resumed work, some of the mill owners being so mean as to try and get their men at reduced wages. In the various towns, public improvements were commenced, under a statute called The Public Works' Act, whereby the localities will be benefitted and the opera tives paid for their labor in new channels. Whenever the - war ends, and plenty of cheap cotton comes into Liverpool, the manufacture will be generally resumed. Here, however, we hope that our cotton will be manufactured in our own mills, and England thus relieved-of one great market. WITATEPEB, ADMIRATION may be felt in Europe for the military South, the Demo cracy of the North (whilorn under con tempt of even the London Times) have few friends and few admirers. The Glasgow Herald, in an able, friendly view . of our .r political situation, declares that the Na tional Government "has assumed an atti tude toward slavery which ought to cora mand the profound sympathy of the British people." _lt has certainly challenged their respect, if we may credit late declarations of Rusisnix, GLADSTONE, and other Eng lish admirers of the South. Concluding an examination of the recent Democratic address, the Herald says, with an expres sion of wonder : , 46nrialee of invective against the 'pernicious theorieV that would elevate the negro to the dig nity of citizenship—plenty of eloquent language about ~the-social debasement and pollution' of allowing the two rnoes to amalgamate ; but in aia columns and a half of closely-printed type not one word against the pernicious theories that reduce the negro td the condition of a thing to be bought and sold, whipped, hunted with dogs, branded with hot irons—not one syllable about the social debase ment and pollution of a system that allows the planter to gratify every brutal passion upon his e] lets slaves, and tempts him to sell his own children, to infamy and bondage!' . _ " it is sad enough," says the Herald in conclusion, "to see .a slaveholding Con federacy in the South. Shall we desire now to see the North also governed by a party committed to the degradation of the negro, committed to the protection of slavery, and avowedly favorable to the extension of this accursed system into the Territories of the 'United States ?" MR. DANIEL W. VOOEFIEEEs, some of whose private papers, in the exercise of a necessary military duty, were seized by General CABRINGToN, has written a letter to that officer as remarkable for its length as its undignified exhibition of spite. Out of the mass of testimony he explains away a number of letters; but, as will be seen, does not dispute the character of the 20,000 rifles with which he connects• the name of a "gentleman by the name of CARE,", who, it is but just to say, vindicates him self in the transaction "But you found a letter from Senator Wall, of Neer Jersey, enclosing one to him from a gentle man by the name of Carr on the subject of guns. This seems to be the desperate point. Iknow nothing of-Mr. Carr. I never answered this letter. lam not much of a trader, and such matters as this I rarely - and time to attend to. But on this point Ido not mean to be misunderstood. I fully endorse the constitutional right of the people to bear arms for their self•defence. The value of this right is greatly enhanced when one political party is armed by the Administration, at the common expense, to overawe the other. You, of course, will not deny that the Republican party , has been armed with Govern ment arms for nearly two years. It is true that this organization is known as the 'Home Guard,' but guns are distributed.by Government officials to their political adherents who do not pretend to belong to any military organization whatever. And when companies have been formed according to law, and asked for arms, they have been refused bocaule they were Democrats. Why is all thief From the Conduct of many of these so-called Home Guards,' and the Conduct of such officers as you, the Demo cretin party has been led to the Arm belief that these warlike preparations have more reference' to. carrying elections and subduing the freedom of speech and of opin i on in the North, than they have to the suppression of armed rebellion In the South.), This retort is alnaost too contemptible for comment. Mr. VOORREES knows well that the right to bear arms is not the right to resist the draft, and_that it was never in tended that our own guns should be turned upon ourselves. Neither is it true that one party is armed to overawe the other, for all parties have the accepted common privilege of fighting'the enemies of the country. THE act of Captain CRAVEN, who went down in the monitor Tecumseh, off Mo bile, was an instance of sublime courtesy. As the pilot and himself, the last in the vessel, moved to the ladder, the Captain stepped aside, saying, " You first, sir." The pilot was saved, and the hero perished in his magnanimity, an example as noble as BV.DNEY. BE-GOVERNOR BIGLER deserves a high compliments for the little joke with which he gave tone to the proceedings of the. Chi cago Convention. Mr. BIGLER denounced the AdMinistration as incapable of making either peace or war, and we are glad to affirm it the best thing he ever said. His party, however, seems to be trying to make both at once. w.c~s~ruv~~oiv. WAsArs e vox, August 29,1804. DECISIONS OE THE INTERNAL REVENUE DEPARTMENT Under the aot of Congress the previous ruling of the Bureau of Internal Revenue, under the former law, that the tax should be withheld from all pay. meats to persons employed by the day, when the compensation exceeded 32 per day, IS annulled, and hereafter no tax will be withheld from persons who are employedlay the. day, and paid by the day, no matter what may be the rate of compensation; and no tax will be' withheld from persons employed by the day, and paid at the end of the month, unless tire amount earned during the month exceed the sum el $5O. When the amount earned daring the month does exceed $5O ate tax of five per cent. must be withheld from the amount in excess; and when a person is employed by the month, at a rate of com pensation exceeding $5O, the tax- must be withheld from the amount in excess of that rate, even though the payment is for such a fraction of a Meath that the amount due is less than $5O; thus, if a person whose salary is $lOO per month is employed but one quarter of a given month the tax must be withheld upon-the sum of $12.50. All amounts.received by any person in the service or emplepreent of the United States, which are ex empt from the salary tax under the. above pro. vision, must be'returned to the assessor of the dis• - teat •in which such person resides in the same manner as if it came 'from. any other source. A. epochal' exception to the rule above established is Made in the 1234 section of the act, which provides that payments of prize money shall be regarded as income from salaries, and the duty thereon shall be assessed and collected in like manner. The tax mustytherefore, be withheld from all payments of prize money as heretofore, and such paymente may be deduoted from the income, as provided in section 117.

Every man undergoes an organic change once in • seven years. So we are- informed by physiologists. The dislniegration of human particles must be very gradual a imperceptible, for, after the lapse of time specified, when it is presumed the last atom of the " old man" has departed, the individual retains his identity, his friends appear- the same, his name remains unchanged. So it Is with the Army of the Potoms.c. The dif ferent corps become new commands every three years. Hancock is leader of a corps, of whichevery member wears for his distinotive badge a club or tre foil. This 18 the 2d Corps. But how changed since the time when commanded by. Gen. Sumner. The old men of the 2d Corps are almost all gone. Of those who twice assembled In bloody eengreSs Rum Manassas Plains, but a handful remain. The men who covered Pope's I etreat from the Rapidan and battled for us at Bristow Station—an those who held the advance at Mine Run, and emerged with their lives from the Wilderness, have been mustered out of, the service or slain at Spottsylvarda and Cold Bfarbor. - The ranks of the old corps are filled with new men. All know that three years has been suffielent to change the army. There is, in some way, a diffe rence, We cannot notice it any more than the physiologist can discern a change In his own body, every seven years. There la no difference In the corps Insignia. The men are fed as well, and appa. mily march and fight as well as ever. It is only under teculiar circumstances, like those In which Gibbons' and Mlles , divisions were placed during Thursday afternoon, that any difference can be ob served. Thrice the rebels clulrged. Each time with augmented numbers and increased fury. When our soldiers saw their backs for the third time, contempt for, their foes was only equalled by- the confidence they . felt in themSelveS. Many of the regiments In Miles , division were composed of new men—substitutes, aliens, drafted men. The 7th,-New York bad just re. ceived three hundred such. Most of them were ignorant of company drill, and knew so little of the manual Of arms they could, scarcely load and fire. The enthusiasm of these men was unbounded when the rebels wore repulsed in their first charges. When the enemy appeared before "their works, and assaulted them the second time, they seemed the most fearless soldiers in the line. Every man, in his eagerness to get a good chance to Shoot, forgot he was not invulnerable as Achilles, and exposed his person unnecessarily. - This regiment and the . 61st New York, also refilled with new recrulte, poured a perfect tempest of "buck and ball" into the line of rebels as they surged a human wave against the works. Then came the order for countercharge. The line of rebels had grown uneven ; it swayeif to and fro aS In a drunken fit. Finally It'broke and nattered. 'These men, before so full of enthusiasm, now be• came *lid, unmanageable. They clambered ever the parapet, leaped the ditch, and, with fixed bayonets, chased the fleeing foe through the woods and across the clearing beyond: Veterans would never become thus excited. The viotorlouS commander at Waterloo was exceedingly wroth with his new recruits, because they entered the conflict full of enthusiasm. To make a long calm courage is needed ; thesvery thing these men never had the opportunities of acquiring. The soldier can only learn this on the battle-held. The fourth assault robbed the combat of the last appearance of novelty. Those same recrults who, but one hour ago, seemed so careless of danger, and were foremost in pursuit of the foe, now became ter. rifled, and ran. The old soldiers, firm and reliant, fell back slowly and steadily, frequently form ing .front to check the enemy, and again ie. tiring. It is this alone gives advantage to the re bels.

WASHINGTON, August 29.—A letter received from the Army of the Potomac, dated August 28th, says that all was quiet excepting the usual picket-tiring in front of the 9th Corps.

Chase regarding the Con gressional nomination in Mil own district has been grossly misrepresented by the Opposition press, as a low extracts from his private lettere conclusively show. Before he heard of the action of the conven t-feu Mr. Chase wrote front /lahant, under dale of the 3d: "I am very sorry that any gentleman has been requested to give way that toy name might be pre sented, and hope that my telegram, If not my letter, may, reach you In time to prevent any embarrass ment or unpleasant feeling In consequence of it, or in consequence of the position I originally took, and to which I must adhere." On the 6th instant he again wrote as follows : "I cannot help feeling sorry that my friends In Cincinnati thought it best to bring my name Into the canvass for nomination, when the names of Whetstone and Eggleston, and perhaps others, were already under consideration. Had both these gen tlemen, in deference to the public; interests and from friendship to me, thought fit to unite in submitting my name, I should have felt gratified and honored by the nomination, but it is very distasteful to me to be put in competition with any of our friends who wish a Beat which has no attraction for me ; and had I been aware it was in contemplation I should cer tainly have put a veto upon it." A letter from Mr. Chase in favor of the election of Mr. Eggleston will shdttly be published. Governor Andrew will not decline a re. elec tion, though few men In the eountry tan so well afford to retire from office with personal satisfaction' and honor. noticing, this, the Boston Ikanscript says "It is not Merely that Governor Podrew has ex. exhibited the highest integrity, energy, and eapaA any in his a4ituinistrat it is not merely that he has shown vigor, aetlytty, insight. foresight, inde fatigable industry and incorruptible ,hariesty, b r ut that he hasnotitdrell la Mixable and tintrausfara p le ' experience; wakes -the, niers, sugscestlon of hL rettrersett at the present exigency se mai l to' be dorrechtod 98d avpincd," THE CHICAGO CORTENTIOL Ise reeilibK Or the Die *lent DeTerms tieele—Yaliawalligham's 'resitiost.

THE (tram& OF THE OONVENTiON---BIIMARES OP AVEMIST Betakowr—Ex-oovennun • BIGLER, OF PwriliBXLVA-TOA, TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. CHICAGO,.August 29.—At noon toe National De mocratic Convention.wea called to order by August Belmont, chairman of the National Committee, who said : CIEETLulrun Orr THE CONVENTION: We are as sembled hese to-day as the National Democratic Convention, under the call of -the •Democratic: Na tional Committee, for tile purliose or nominating candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States. This task, at all times a most difficult and ardu ous one, has by the sad events of our civil war as sumed au Importance and responsibility of the most - tearful 'nature. Never since the formation of our Government has there been an assemblage the pro ceedings of which were fraught with more moment ous and vital results than those which must flow from your action here. Towards you, gentlemen. are directed at this ince ment the anxious fears and doubts not only of mil. lions of American citizens, but also of every lover of civil liberty throughout the world. In-your bands rest, under the rulings of an All-wise Provi dence the fliture of this Republic. Four years of • rule by a' sectional, fanatical, and corrupt party, warns US of the disastrous consequences which would befall us if Mr. Liecoln's re-election should be made possible by our want of patriotism and unity. The inevitable results of such a calamity must be the utter disintegration of our whole politi cal and social system amid bloodshed and anarchy, with the great problems of liberal progress and self government jeopardized for generation's to come. The American people have at last awakened to the conviction that a change of policy and adminia 'ation can alone stay our downward course, and they will rush to the support of your candidate and platform, provided you will offer to their suffrages a tried patriot who has proved his devotion to the Union and Constitution ; that you pledge him and ourselves to maintain their hallowed importance by every effort and sacrifice in our power. Let us, at the very outset of our proceedings, bear in mind that the dissensions of the last National Democratic Convention were one of the principal causes whic h gave the reins of the Government into the hands of our opponents, and let us beware not to fall again into the tame fatal error. We must bring to the altar of our country the sacrifice of our prejudices, opinions, and convic tions, however dear • and long cherished they may be, from the moment they threaten the harmony and unity of action so indispensable to our success. We are here not as War Democrats, nor as Peace Democrats, but as citizens of this great Republic, which we will strive and labor to the last to bring back to its former greatness and prosperity, without - one single star taken from the brilliant constelia tion that once encircled its youthful brow. Let pure and disinterested petriotism, tempered by moderation and forbeSrance, preside over our deliberations, and, under the blessings of Almighty God; the sacred cause of the Union, the Constitu tion, and the laws must prevail over fanaticism and treason. • - Mr. Belmont was enthusiastically applauded du ring the delivery of his address. The Hon. William Bigler, or Pennsylvania, was Chosen temporary chairman of the Convention, and upon taking the cbair spoke as follows: BPRECIEr OP ex-new:aeon >Mime. . Geserhisireil . On Tra Coevarerrois:' I sin grnatly hordiled in your select - kin of me to preside over the preliminary deliberations of this body. My ao. knowledgments for the high compliment and for the kind greeting just extetaed to me by this vast eon course or my fellow-citizens will be best manifested by the proper discharge of theedutlea of the position to which you have called me. It Is not expected, nor would it be fitting in one assuming a mere tem rotary presidency of this Convention that he should enter upon, .any: general discussion of the many topics suggested by the unhappy condition of our Country. a. brief allusion to the occasion and pur poses of our assemblage is all that will be necessary. No similar body ever assembled in America with weightier objects before, or to which such a vast pro portion.of the American people looked with such profound solicitude for measures to promote the wen lase of the country and advance their individual happiness. The termination of natal:waft° rule in this country was the end of peaceful relations be tween the States and the people. The elevation of a seitional party to authority at Washington, the culmination of a long-indulged, acrimonious war, criminationand recrimination between extreme men at the North and South s were promptly fol lowed by dissolution and civil war, and in the pro gress of that war even the out works of civil liberty have been imperilled and the whole fabric brought to the very verge of destruction ; and now, at the end of more than three years of a war unaralleled in modern times for its magnitude and for barbarous desolatiom after more than two millions of men have been called into the field on our side alone, after the land has been Morally drenched hrfreter nal blood, apd wettings and lamentations are heard in every corner of our common country, the hopes of the Union and of our cherished object are in no wise improved. The men now in authority, through a feud which they long maintained with violent and unwise men at the Sontb, because of a blind fanaticism about an Institution In some States, and in relation to which they had no duties to perform and no responeibili ties to bear, are utterly incapable of adopting the proper means to rescue our country, our whole country from its present lamentable condition. Then, gentlemen, it is apparent that the first indis penaable step to the accomplishment of this great work is the overthrow by the ballot of the presen t Administration, and the inauguration of another in its stead which will wisely and zealously, but tem perately and justly, wield all the influence and power of the Government to bring about a speedy settlement of our internal troubles on the principles of the Constitution, and on terms honorable and just to all sections, North, South, East, and West; one which will stand unfalteringly by civil and re ligious liberty; one which, instead of relying solely on its peculiar dogmas and doctrines, and the rava ges of the sword, will refer the national troubles to the people, the fountain of political authority, and to the States under the forms of the Constitution; one which will have no conditions precedent to the restoration of the Union, but will diligently seek that result as a return of permanent peace amongst the people. s Gentlemen, you have been commiseloned by the people to oome here and initiate steps to accom plish these great objects—to select an agent and agencies in this good work. That step will be well performed, I have an unfaltering faith; and that the people may sanction, and Godidess those means to the desired end, is my sincere prayer. °remain enooestireros. E. 0. Perrin, G. M. Towers, and Moses Strong, of .Wisconsin, were appointed temporary secretaries. The list of delegates was Galled by States, and as each chairman presented the credentials of hie dele gation be was, welcomed with loud applause. Mr. Tilden of New York, moved that one dele gate be appointed from each delegation to report resolutions for the oonelderation of Ute Convention, and that all resolutions be referred to the Commit tee without debate. Carrted. Dir. Cox, of Ohio, moved that the Committee on Organization be instructed to report rules for the government of the Convention, and, in the mean time, that the rules of the last Convention be adopt ed. Carried. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, stated that the con testing delegates from that State had agreed, and were harmonious in this Convention. He moved that the members from each delegation be ap• pointed on the Consmittee on Resolutions, they to have but one vote. Carried. Mr. McDougal, of California, moved that there be admitted to the Convention not to exceed three gentlemen, !mown to be members of the Demo. maths pasty, from each of the several Territories; said delegates to be permitted to participate in de bate, without a vote. Gen. Morgan, of Ohio, moved to amend by ex tending the.privileges of the resolution to delegates from 'Bentham States, and the Dletrict of Columbia. Ain McDougal accepted the amendment, Mr. Tilden .opposed the resolution, as it was mani fest that no gentlemen can be thus designated by the Convention who do not come here accredited to us, and they may or may not represent a constituen cy. It might be otherwise in regard to Territories. There may be gentlemen from them accredited as we are, but under all the circumstances, the adorn tion of such a resolution would, in his judgment, be productive only of eonfusion and disorder. (Cheers.) At the conclusion of his remarks, he introduced the Rev. Dr. Clarkson, of Chicago, who offered up a prayer for the speedy return of peace and for the permanent happiness of the country.

TER TrZERO ON TITII WAR The Timer, in a:leader of Monday, says "Justice to the Federals alone would compel the world to acknowledpe that the Confederate position Is impregnable. Both by sea and by land the South ern territory is formed for defence. All except a mere fringe of the vast territory is as unconquered now as it was three years ago. It Is not at all ne ceeeary that we should like one side more than another, or think better of its cause ; but we may see plainly that it will never be beaten. Where, however, advice utterly falls, and is not even taken kindly, the great lesson we wish to impress on the Cabinet of Washington is, that litigants are nop fit judges of their own quar rel, and will, therefore, If they are wiso, take ad vice, accept umpires, or bow to tribunals. Here is a great and lamentable instance in the quarrel of Denmark with Germany. The Americans are only doing what the Danes have done to their cost. It would not be an easy task to arbitrate between the North and South. A day wiil come when Ireland will not shed its blood like water for a purely Ame ricanarrel, nor will the. Americans themselves. StreetS full of cripples, orphans, and widows, fields tilled by women, and trade passing into the hands of newly-arrived foreigners,.wlll be a terrible com ment on the successive calls for millions." The Times, in a leader of Tuesday, on the intelli gence brought by the Europa, says : " On the whole, we think it likely that General Grant will not abandon the campaign. Such a confession of failure would throw a blight on his own reputation, and would also injure President Lincoln himself in his electoral schemes. There is a general feeling that this campaign is the great trial of the war; that the capture of Rich mond is the test of the ability of, the North to make any permanent impression on the Southern States. If in the fourth year of the war the largest army ever assembled under the Federal Rag—one of the largest and best appbinted that any Government ever placed In thelleld—retires beaten alter tremendous loans, the North may be ex pected to lose heart In the great contest. and, perhaps, to turn with anger on. Its rulers. We be lieve, therefore, that the campaign will continue, unless the danger to Washington be so great as to demand a return of the main body of Grant's army." TOR REBEL LOAN. The rebel loan advanced 3 per cent. on the news of Grant's repulse before Fetersbnrg t the quota tions being 77@n. A BLOOLADB•RVITNSB. The Dublin Freeman's Journal says : "A magnificent and rapid.sailing steamer, with three funnels, visited . the Shannon on Saturday last. She proceeded to the Foynee Island, where she lay at anchor until evening,whenshe suddenly steamed toward Tarbert. While at anchor neal' Foynes a warlike party landed and made inquiries at the rail way station about a special train for Limerick, and they appeared exceedingly disappointed when they could not proceed thither by rail. It is supposed that the vessel is a blockade runner, and it was ru mored here that a lieutenant of the Alabama was one of the party who landed at Foynes. It appears that the steamer has arrived to convey an Immense supply of clothing to the Confedorates. ,, A CALIFORNIA SHIP DESTROYED BY THE F L ORIDA. —' A despatch from Southampton, England, by the steamer New York, saps-'that the rebel pirate Florida destroyed the ship Inatlean off the Brasinan coast. No date is given. The Indic:an was bound front New York for California. The pirate took seventy thousand dollars from her. BELIEVED FOR THE CONFEDERATES, Another case under the Foreign Enlistment act was „tried at the Liverpool Assizes on Saturday. Two merchants, named Jones and Highat, were charged with having enlisted men - to serve on board the Confederate cruiser Georgia. Counsel for the defendants objected that there was no case, inesmnch ° as the actual enlistment took place out of the United Kingdom. The point wee re served. The jury found the defendants guilty, bat judgment was reserved until the objections raised have been decided by a superior court. TRH RIOT AT BIZLPABT.

A further diminution of above four million francS in the cash in the Bank of France within the last week has caused some uneasiness .in commercial quarters.

The semi-official Nord Deutsche Allegemeine Zel lung confirms the statement made lately to the effect that Saxony intends to lay the following proposal before the German Diet,, viz.: that an explanation be demanded of Austria and Prussia in reference to those Powers having permitted the King of Den mark to cede rights to them to which he lihnself had no title. The same journal regards this proposal as an insult to the victors. Tbe ratified:don of the Zoliverein treaties were exeLanged at Berlin on Augnet I.sth between 'Prue els, and these German States which have already agreed to the renewal of these treaties.

Thr The New System of Defensive Warfare. A correspondent of the CinCianati Commercial, writing from near Atlanta, Augmtls, says : Among the many modilications and new features of warfare that bare been introduced during the present strug gle, the one most noticeable and most revolution izing in its tendency, is the practice, becoming so universal Oh both sides, of entreanttino and fortify. ing. To one who has -Made - military eniring a study, it is perfectly astonishing to un g ties nee how ,Altllful all the line officers, and even the privates, 'have become inlaying out and constructing defen sive works. Formeny, no works were attempted until regular engineer officers could survey and stake out the grounds • and then 'pioneer parties and regular fatigue p arties would do the work. This required days and sometimes weeks, to construct anything like efficient defences. Now, every officer and man is an engineer ;. and • every regiment and company has its pioneer party. It a command halts In line for thirty mi nutes, good defensive works are constructed. If a , company latent out on picket, the inevitable pick and spade go with them, as certainly as the musket ; • and within a few minutes from the time the post is assigned. the picket Is well Intrenched. If one at. my moves to attack the other, the army that is on the defensive will construct good protecting wor while the attacking army is deploying. ks,. nd ' ready to assault. The result is that thea attackinggetting. party on either side always encounters efficient breastworks, that more than double the fighting strength of the pasty being attacked. Openlield urn now has almost passed into history. It only oco when the prised or flanked. party attacked le either sur ral Experience has abundantly shown that no gene- , raln afford, very often, to storm well-manned c a wok ; for altliongh.he may carry his point, yet he does it at ifir enormous sacrifice of life, and a sacrifice peneraffy greatly disproportioned to the In jury he Millets. The general who is most expert in flank move ments is the one who will get control of the moat territory. fa cts altogeth Theee n present an aspect of our struggiaot. agreeable compelOnMplate.
