The Presidential Candidates; If the Chicago Convention had not nominated GEORGE B. McCLELLaif *We should have been surprise,d, for of all the names before it his is the most popular. He owes his popularity, which fora year has been waning, ehiefly to his military career. While he was in the service of the Government, and conducting the war upon its policy, he was universally sustained by all parties. His recent opposition to the Government has, lost Kim all but party fol lowers. Still he is the most popular candi date the Convention could have chosen. The very feet that he is not a party leader makes him the better party candidate ; for YALLANDIGUAX and Suyironn are pledged to certain policies, have spoken freely on many - important subjects, and have awakened enmities in their own ranks which might not easily be soothed. Gene ral MeCutradar has no such political re cord. It is better for him that he is with out it: No man would have the ghost of a chance in any free State, except New Jer sey, who would say What VALLANDIGHAM and SEYMOUR have said. Gen. MCCLEL LAN, whatever his opinions may be, must have learned by this time the-truth of-the proverb which declares speech to be silver, but silence to be golden. Among the men who nominated him were some who have declared, on the floor of Congress, the dis solution of the Union, but he has not en dorsed the opinions of his supporters. Mr. PENDLETON was in the list House one of the able and dangerous members of the Opposition. During the camintign there will be ample opportunity of re ferring to his record, and that.of his asso ciate on the Presidential ticket; at present we defer personal criticism. The attitude of the:party itself is more important, and claims immediate attention. , What was expected of the Chicago Con vention? Men knew not what to hope or fear ; yet it was believed, by those who had faith in its ability, that'it would offer some new plan for the ending of the war which would either appal-or delight the -natiOn. It has proposed•no such plan. The whole argument of its party and the gist of the great discusssion have been carefully avoid:-, ed by it, and those who will analyze' the resolutions framed by Mr. GIITHRIZ, and adopted by the Convention, will find that they contain but two important affirma tions : first, that the Democratic party is pledged to the Maintenance of the Union ; second, that the Administration is un worthy to be trusted. If there is.anything else in the creed of the party it will scarce ly be found in its platform, but must be sought in the declarations of its leaders. The Democratic party, therefore, stands pledged to do its best to save the Union. Such a pledge it could not avoid making; for it would be useless, even for teg party which boasts the leadership of VALLANDIG HAM, Lore ) and HAIM'S, to teliPeal to the, people on any platform that omitted this promise. But how will it endeavor to pro tect the Union ? Can it do more than the Union party 'has done and is doing ; than the Administration, supported uncondition ally by a vast majority of the people, has done.? Can it make any offer of trn to the rebel leaders when they have distinctly informed the world that they will never make peace till their independence is ac knowledged ? Can it offer to the people of the South terms more generous thin gte unconditional amnesty which is now in their power to accept, or rather will be when the military tyranny which governs the South is broken by the loyal arms ? Can it degrade the - Republic by bringing it to its knees before a foe, haughty, inso lent, stubborn, and unconquered ? What can it do for peace and Union that the 41dministration and the Union party have not done? Nothing. Generosity has been exhausted and justice strictly ob served in the offers of the Govern -mein of the United States, and yet the Union party stands ready to-day to make any sacrifice for the sake of peace that in honesty and self-respect can be made, and is willing to suspend hostilities 'whenever the rebel leaders shall intimate their wil lingness to negotiate terms 'of submission. If the Democratic party Can do more 'thaw it must be something• .dishonorable, and cowardly. The spirit of concession a free and noblepeople can go no further, and where this passionate longing for peace among brethren ends, there the war 'begins. There begins the unfal tering resolUtion of men who will do all :in their potter to preserve the 'nion by honest compromises 'of peace, anti that failing, will not shrink from the stern l-, duty' of war. The Democratic par ty, w e . it in power to-day, could honor ably offer t , rebel leaders no more than the Union pa 'll ' does offer, and it would be compelled, by th: . oathit has taken to sus tain the Union, tolerry on. the war for its protection as ardently as it is now prose cuted. The dilemma\wonlcl confront any political party, in posse ' ion of the Govern ment.. The issue betty en Union and Dis union is not to be changepy the substitu tion 'of one Northern party fer_anothei: For, bear it in mind, the Democratic party,' if it is sincere in its professed devotion to - the Union, would be as bitterly detested by the rebel- leitders as the Administration ts. It is because they believe it to be insinetre that the melt who advocate Disunion, and 'war till Disunion is' accomplished, desire the Democratic party to succeed. Nor is the argument thus ended. The Union party is far more powerful to save the Union than is the Opposition. The one hi composed of men who are uncoil .ditionally tor the Union, and it is pledged :and repledged, bound by ambition, in. - tercet, and duty, to use all means to main the Union, whether these be war for thirty years or '"a National ConventiOn next month.' The other numbers among its leaders men' who- have said that the Union is destroyed; men who have said that the war lea mires and should be ended, even by dinolving the Union ; and others 'whe are known to be, in s sympathy with open traitors:- Annartax_LrsicoLit has no owl' friends. and= McCLE.r.r.AN"odUaseiltx Ahem = xll;,`-and: the President; because of his friends, 'ii - ho tue known to be patriots, and his prin.- ciples, which are known tole loyal, is bet ter fitted to be the protector 'of the Union than his new rival, who, whatever his own principles may really'be, is surrounded by men who have said that they would, in cer tain contingencies, be willing to abandon the Union. True, the Convention whiclunomi mated him did not say this, but individual shame has stained the name of his party, and the individual disloyalty of many of its leaders has never been openly condemned by its official action. Gen. blcanuarr, were he elected, would go into the highest place in the Republic escorted hymen who have been willing to surrender the Repub lic ; and, were he known to be all that an American should be, he could not_ be trusted While these men supported hirti.Much as the nation longs for peace, it prefers war of indefinite duraCion to peace that is dis honorable. It is sure.that ABRAHAM' LlN cola' never will consent to dishonorable peace, but it la not sure that' Gen. McCLEL LAN would not be forced to disgrace the flag'hy the men of his party who have re peatedly trampled on its sacred folds. Who will Support General ' The nomination of any one at all by a Democratic Convention upon the first bal lot, and 'with ,only one row, is so mys terious an affair that comment would be entirely justifiable. "At present, we prefer to forbear. Generalli_r oCLELL.Arr, how ever, having been " regularly nominated "- by the Chicago Convention, the question naturally arises, what manner of men will be found 'to support him? We think it tolerably safe to include among the num ber of his adherents—firstly : , such subser vient and -volatile men as Mr. Hituars, of Maryland, who, having pronounced General 11 . 1ectzu.Arr a tyrant, a traitor, and an as*sin yet avowed his determination to support him as the -choice of the Con ' vention ! Secondly, the peace-on-any-terms men, represented by such party leaders as VALLANDIGHAI!dOVOOD, etc., who, although perfectly well aware that the Ohicago nominee stands upon a platform in which, their sentiments find not a single repre sentative plank, yet cling to him, in the hope that if elected he will allow his policy to be largely , shaped by the chieftains of the peace-wing. Thirdly, the class of Demo cratic hero-worshippers who prefer men to principles,. and who are satisfied with a self complacent glance at the bespangled truisms of the Chicago platform, without caring to lmow whether it has any vital meaning or points to any practicable solu tion of our present difficulties that the present Administration has not already attempted.. 'Fourthly, the class of office hunting Democrats, who regard a union of the two 'elements of the party; however irreconcileable, as essential to their chances for the " spoils." In addition tothese there are undoubtedly many good and honest-minded, though mis taken men, who will support this nomi nation, and who will do so in the sincere belief that they are conserving the best in.- terests of the nation ; but such men, at best, constitute a respectable minority of the Opposition party. Could it then be expected that such a party, so incongru- . onsly constituted, would possess any fixed policy upon the great issues distracting tl country, even if it'should succeed to power? In a multitude of conflicting counsels, would not.ben. McCLELLAR's course, sup posing him to be elected, be necessarily a's vacillating and timid as was that of his De.. mocratic predecessor, 13n-crraltazr? Honwrio SEr - hrotra, in a second speech before the Chicago Convention, yesterday said "He desired to add a few words in reference to Maryland and her .honored delegates here. -Yesterday he did an act of injustice to the distinguished member of that delegation (Mr. HAnnrs), because he, (SEvuouß) did not understand the purport of hi; remarks, and he now desired to say that that high-toned gentleman was.inea- Pable of taking a position in this body, participating in its deliberations, and re- Wing to abide byltsr - decision." This - Mr: • :Mims, whom Governor Sivamjrit stylea 'a "high-toned gentleman," is the same Mr. HARRIS whom GOV6II.OI' BEITMOUR felt called upon to rebuke on Tuesday for Attiving,. t bitterly denounced' General Mc- LELLAST as a tyrant, a traitor, and an as sassin. And if memory serves us, it was this sane high-toned gentleman who en livened the proceedings of the Convention by knocking down another high-toned gen tleman with.his clenched fist, because high toned gentleman No. 2 happened to pbserve, in the most harmless way imaginable, 'that high-toned gentleman No. 1 was "a d— traitor." Clearly, they are all,. all honorable Men ! The Memory of 'Douglas. The - mortal Mr. T; B. FLORENCE, after a long obscurity painful to remember these days of degenerate' statesmanship, has emerged at Chicago•in the,charactef of a pilgrim. .At the outbreak of the:war. Mr. FLORENCE was a2.. - Bre'cluridge Democrat, having aided the defeat of all Mr. Dou- GLAs' principles ; to-day he is hundreds of miles from.his own home for Flo other pur pose than to render homage to his memory. In these badly-hinged sentences the peen, liar style of our departed Representative will be recOgnized. Mr. FLORENCE i writes on behalf of the Democratic National Committee: "Whereas, A respectful devotion to the memory of Stephen A. Douglas, the great statesman of the West, was the crowning motive which induCed the Committee to 'concur in calling the National Con vention in the city. of Chicago. "Now, therefore, it It the deliberate conviction of this Committee that had his life been spared, his gigantic grasp of mind, taken in connection with his 'declaration' that war is disunion , —a declara tion which time has proved the wisdom of—would long since have restored the power of the Federal compact and avoided the terrible loss of life which nothing can compensate, and 'that bitterness of feelbig so much to be deplored, which is a greeter barrier to the restoration of peace and union." On this lugubrious joke no comment is made in the minutes at Chicago. "The Memory of Douglas" was received in silence, nor was any notice- taken of Mr. FLORENCE'S astounding convictions. Abundant reason for this sudden forbear. tweeds given' in the latest words of Dou oms himself : “ The's] ave question is a mere excuse. The election Of Lincoln Is a mere pretext: The present secession movement is the result of an enormous conspiracy, .rormedmore than a year since—formed by Leaders In the Southern Confederacy more than twelve monthaage. The conspiracy is now-known; armies have _been. raised, war is levied to, accomplish it. -These are only two sides to the question. Every -Mark feast be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war ; only-patriots ar traitors.” Colinel ;I'M'S B. Gwyn. Colonel Gwyn, of the 118th. Pennsyl lista& Volunteers, (one of the reginients raised and equipped, by the, munificent liberality and true patriotism of the Corn Exchange, at the cost of over $40,000,) is now on duty in the camp near Reams' Station; Virginia, in command of the 3d Brigade of the Ist Division of the famous invincible 6th Corps. The 118th Regiment is commanded now by Major HENRY CeNEII;L, a very experienced soldier ; hay ing formerly been OP officer in the East Indian army, where he saw a great deal of service. as Gran's r%9)isti-br the brigade, as wo . irobrletters from, the cantp,---Wita very warm. One car respondent says : " Colonel G. has twice led his brigade, under heavy fire, with a gallantry which brave men can best ap preciate." His division participated in the great contest for the Weldon Railroad, which they took and destroyed—a feat which has thrown dismay into Riahmond. Another friend writes : The. Colonel, riding in front of his command and cheer ing the men, led his brigade to their work, while shot and shell were flying around in all directions, and the rain pouring down in torrents. He 'has barely recovered from a severe wound received in the battle of Spottaylvania (a ball passed through his thigh), and it was his friends' opinion that he ought not have subjected himself to"the severe work be performed ; but nothing could restrain him, and the result' is :his • men will follow him any where."

It , the, ~ an' oft Teer - who ha s dam good service to liti 7l country. Peud In )(retina: The late Sir Wee Corrrx owns a shrewd man. Son of NATHANIEL COFFIN, the last Caihier and Receiver of the port of Boston, lie left this country while a mere child, and eventually rose to a Baronetcy, besides being an Admiral in -the British service. I He lived to a great age, was very proud of his family connexions in Nantucket, which holds as many Coffins as a grave-yard, and used to maintain, between jest and earnest, that "Long Tom Coffin," in COOPER's "Pilot," was a real, and not imaginary character. In Parliament, where he hada seat for many years, old Sir IseAc did not display much oratorical ability. But he made one speech, by which he will be re membered. In a debate upon the eternal subject of Ireland he gave his opinion that the only way to deal with that island, so as to prepare it for becoming a great na tion, which its natural productions, re sources, climate, and locality evidently fitted her to be, was to sink her in the sea for four-and-twenty hours. His opinion was unpopular with the Irish, who, de claied, when a few years later he was acci dentally' drowned at sea, that the manner of;his death was a just judgment for what he had said about Ireland. After all, the old salt was not very wrong. For some years past Ireland has been in a course of depopulation from two causes— . fainine and ' emigration. But the great cities and towns in Ireland will always be well populated, and the census of 1861 shows them to be increasingly 'so. Some of these towns have sprung up wonder fully within living memory. Belfast con tains more than six times the number of inhabitants it possessed forty years ago, and its augmented trade, shipping, and ma nufactures have placed. it next below Dub lin and - Cork alone. I is the capital• of Ulster, is by Tar the most industrial province of Ireland. l tt. possesses inteni-. gence, liberality in money matters, and other fine characteristics, but it that true Charity which St. PAtri so much com mends as the greatest of all. Belfast is disgracefully intolerant in religieus matters. It has a political religion of.its anal:which also largely abounds inother parts of Ul ster, and is known, all the world Over, as Orangelom. This baneful organization is to be, found in other parts of Ireland, but more slightly ; it has even spread to Eng land, and is one, of the curses of Canada. • Dkarrat, O' Commen t as may be supposed, left numerous admirerairt Ireland, to which country his efforts mainly contributed to give - Catholic Emancipation. S'eferttee-n years after his death, measures were taken to erect his statue in Dublin. Tie initial act was publicly performed on his birth day, the 16th of last month, and peisons of all persuasions participated therein. • The Orangemen of Belfast, illiberal and nnelfa ritable, determined:to insult the memory of the great Irishman whom Dublin had de termined to honor. The admirers of CON NEL', from Belfast were met on their re turn from Dublin, by a procession in which an effigy, in mockery of the dead man, was borne aloft, and finally hanged from an improvised gallows. Next day the effigy was bunted and the ashes placed in a coffin, which was also borne along with the most insulting contumely. Then was renewed the- old war, of which Belfast has often been the scene—the war between the Orangemen and the Catholics. The win dows of the Catholic Bishop's dwelling were destroyed by one party. Those of Dr. COOKE, the Protestant clergyman, by the other. So with other houses, with other lifoperty. Arms were used, (the Orangemen. are all armed, and follow Cnce.rwern's adyice, to "put their trust in God and keep their powder dry,") and gun makers' shops were broken open, in mid day, for muskets, fowling-pieces, carbines, pistols, and revolvers. Several persons were killed ; many were wounded. 'Some of the magistrates, tainted with Orangelsrn, are said to have sided with the Orangemen, and one of the chief constables is reported as a. prominent leader on the same side. Thoutrads were - finally engated'inlill: At list the army had to 'be called in. And this, in the second period of the nineteenth century, is the political and. religious into lerance of Belfast, self-styled"' Wedens of Ireland p' In one of MOOILE'S Irish melodies he re presents vanquished Erin weeping beside "the Boyne'rill-fated river," where Dis cord .drops his loaded. quiver into the tide, and she prays that the venorned darts raw lie hid forever : • But vain her wish, her weeping vain— As Time too well hath taught her— Each year the Blend returns again, • And dives into.that water, And brings triumphant from beneath . His shafts of desolation, ' And sends them winged, with worse than death, 'Through all her maddening nation.

She weeping asks forever ; But.only hears, from out that flood, The Demon answer,-" Never!" It would seem, bythe 'unfortunate events Which it is our painful duty to record here, that Moonn, in the above lyric, was as much' prophet al; poet.

It is now definitely ascertained that they do not exceed 8,800, and, as stragglers and others still continue to come in, and the sick are not .all accounted for, it Is not believed that the aggregate loss in all these engagements will exceed 8,600. The loss of the 2d Corps in Thursdays fight will not exceed an aggregate of 1,600, according to the offi• Mal statement; and it is believed that, when all who are now within our lines report, 1,200 will cover the entire loss. The rebels are said to be using the Weldon Rail road, below Ream's Station, and running their sup plies thence to Petersburg, around our left, by wagons. As this requires a large force for train guards, and to defend the road against the Incur sions of our cavalry, it cannot be either a very pro fitable or pleasant means of communication, with out taking into consideration the loss of time In volved. Arrangements. have been Made, it 19 understood, for burying the rebel dead left on the field of last Thursday's battle, The fact that the enemy did not bury their own dead, and that they left their wounded on the held, is paipable evidence that, although they drove back the 2d Chirps, they did not achieve any rely complete or oreditabie victory. The usual picket thing has occurred to-day, with. sut any result of consequence.

This light took place on Tuesday, the 16th inst. The soldiers and militia fought them for four hours, and finally had to retreat and kW() the redskins. The Indians followed them about ten miles. • Captain Murphy returned to Fort Kearney, and the militia returned home, not being able to compete with so large a foe. About five hun dred Indians, led by white men,- were engaged, but a much larger number were seen at a distance. The Indians have a provision train and are mounted on he fleetest horses that travel the plains, and those in the engagement of Tuesday were well email with rifles. The cavalry could not use their revolvers,. owing to the long range of fire, and the Indians had guns of longer range than ' either the United States soldiers or the militia. The mounted howitzers became disabled after the first fire. The arms for the militia of Marysville have not yet arrived, and our people are becoming very much alarmed, and not without cause. One. hundred families have left Washington county, andj have brought their stock and families to this place. Some have left the country entirely, never to re turn; This is no Indian scare, but Is Indian war in reality; and the bloody scenes of .hLinnesota are being enacted on the border of our own State. There hie been no coach up as far as Fort Kear ney for ten days. Great anxiety exists ' here to. tight in regard to the situation of Brigadier Gene ral Sherry and Captain Thompson and his oompany of the 16th gasser) Volunteers. They.left this place, on the 14th inst. Gen. Sherry had. eight hundred' and fifty men in his command. They started for the Republican, or White Rook, a stream emptying into the Republican on the south side, where a large body of Indians are camped, and where they have about five hundred head of horses. Since the first °Tibia Itionth over three hundred thousand dollars' worth of property has been de. Alloyed and stolen by the Indianson the road east of FortaKeittney. ' Our men report that flour, coffee, and tea, and all kinds of groceries are 'sca ttered over the prairie, the trains having been sacked by the Indians. A great many more persons luwe been killed between here and Fort Kearneythan : was first reported. 'There was one *hole faioity murdered, ono 'young_lady missing, and in all' between this and Fort Kearney about twenty-live killed. Some bo dies remained unburied tin within a few days ago.

A correspondent of the New York Times, signing himself " A Southern Union Nan," communicates facts to that journal which seem to be of much ins; portance. "On the 80th of March last," he says, "I left rebeldom, having been a resident in Dixie since the beginning of the war. I have been an ex tensive traveller in the South, and have had very good opportunities of teeing certain mistakes or bad management unon the part of the Uidted States Government, which it is my duty,. as a loyal man, to advise it of. I refer to the business of blockade running at the port of Wilmington, N.O.', and Mo bile, Ala. Fortunately, since my arrival here, Ad miral 1 - 1117agut has hermetically sealed the latter - port, and Wilmington is now the place that de-. mends the prompt attention of our "Government. This port is and has been of more importance to the rebels than 60,000 men would be to-day, and its value increases daily. "The Commissary Department of the rebels were importing heavily ofprovisions when I left there. Not leas than twenty large, fast eteamers are run ning regularly between Bermuda, Nassau, &c., to Wilmington. The tonnage of each is not less than an average of two thousand barrels. Just think of this I Forty thousand barrels flour and pork dapped from the United States to these Islands, and thence forwarded into Wilmington, under one fleet, at one shipment 1 From this data a.calculs— Lion may be made to find the time of starvation of the rebels. Every article that can possibly be needed by the rebels, such as arms, ammunition, clothing, & c., Is imported through this port, and cotton, tobacco, and naval stores shipped in return as exchange. ".It has always been a wonder to me why the Go vernment does not attack this port—this vital point of the Confederacy. lam well aware of its fortifica tions, ami teal do not compare in strength to. those of Mobile. My own idea is that Pert Fisher, thir tlr. eight miles from - Wilmington, at the mouth of Cape Feat river, can easily be redneed by our fleet there, and this alone will effectually blookade that port, and be of more importance than holding the Weldon Railroad." SPOTS cot THU SUlc.—We understand, says the Boston Journal, that the Professor of Astronomy in the' Harvard University has discovered that the spots msblab have been visible for centuries past on the sun's disc have almost entirely ,disappeared., These spots the ancients supposed were parts la' which the fire that gives old Sol his • light and heat had been ext.Mguished. But - the Proles sor, who accepts this theory contrary to the doc trines laid down by Spalzac, Hergeshelm, and other noted - European savant, considers that the incandescence of the'sun has so much increased as to again relieve even the 'ashes trua-underordi-t. eery clieumstances were totally inadequate to sup port,cpmbustion. The extreme heat of the present summer the Professor easily explains from this fact. Of the absence of the dark spots, his refracting ful e ly c pe su rwehi t% him Pr o le f n es s sor w Big elo w , dfa Weovr. d euce , corroborates all these statements, and fully proves that the sun will continue to remain bright end Its 'light to revlvity all nature until some terri ble convulsion obscures Its whole lace. Although the heat of this summer is satisfactorily accounted for. and the temperature of future sum mins prognosticated, there is much, division among our, scientific men as to the temperature of the coming winter. All agree that it will be cold. Some go so far as to asserkthat it will exceed many previous seasons in Inclemency. Others deny it.

The London Times, In an editorial on General Grant's assault on -Petersburg, credits both sides with real valor, and.winds up as follows : " We from this distance, while we, deplore the Sacrifice, cannot but admire the heroism whielffor three months together has animated the emnbatante in this deadly grapple, and , we cannot but 'believe that the American character must gain from the moral qualities which have been called into action. But as enough hat been done for this as for other purposes, we Shall rejoice to see the belligerents separate with mutual respect, whatever may be the clamor in the streets or churches of New York. We may depend upon it that no man of General Grant's army tbtelrir meanly or maliciously of his Southern adversaries; lirar,_amon:g its other les sons, teaches foes respect each other, and we, sin cerely wish that the feelings which must thus have been generated may lead before long to reconcilia tion and to peace." The miter !says : "We are able to say, with all calmness and soberness, that the prospects of speedy , peace were never so promising—so almost abso lutely certain—as now. It is our sincere belief that, unless some real disaster befalls the Confederate mine before the 20th of this month, the Democratic party, then assembled in convention at Chicago, will nominate a:Peace candidate for the'Presidency, - and within three months thereafter there will ho armistice. If any selfish hope of exhausting both American belligerents has animated the Policy of Europe, that policy will have- its. -- juste reward. 49eitber the North nor the South:have - lost the re storative energies of youth.

STRUGGLE Ow THE PARAPET OF LONDON B lan OS. —Mr. Payne, the city coroner, held an inquiry at the Vestry'.hall, Southwark, August 14th, respect. leg the death by suicide of Mary Ann Mann, aged 48. John Nare , No. 3 Blue Anchor road , Ber mondsey, said that on last Saturday morning, about SNP:dock, he was crossing London Bridge. A boy called out to him : Master, there is a woman going to drown herself!" He then saw the deceased with As leg over the parapet of the bridge. She was standing in the middle recess of the centre arch. He rushed forward and caught hold of her by the arm. She struggled fearfully. Re tried to pull her' back, but he could not do so. Be then threw himself forward in order to pre vent her leaping into the river, but he found that she was dragging him with her. He then let her go, and she fell into the water. Her head was first dashed against the Stone-work of the bHdge. The witness just saved his own life. George Mann, No. 10 Great Arthur street, St..Lnke's, a eigar-nmker, said the deceased was his wife. For the last eight weeks she had been very 111. She frequently said that she would go and drown herself, because she had dreadful pares in her back. Dirs. E. Speller said that the deceased had a fall down stairs last Thursday. After that she said to witness, " Heel so low-spirited that I shall go and kill myself." The coroner having summed up the jury returned a ver dict of "suicide while of unsound mind." A LIONESS AT LAROB.—WombwelPs menagerie is now exhibiting in the West garlands, atrSouth ampton. The West Marlands is a largo open space of ground In the centre of the town. On Saturday evening the keeper was shifting the lions from one den to another, when two of them, about half grown, jumped over the keeper's shoulder and es • awed. One was beaded and driven back to his den almost immediately; the other, a lioness, got out-, side the menagerie, and made her way right across the open.space. A large number of men, women, and children were in the Marlands, and they "stampeded" immediately to get out of the way. A boy with a donkey was passing near the brute, and it was thought that she would sate,* them; but the boy, being frightened,-hallooed loudly, and the lioness pasted on. A keeper headed her, and pre. ,vented her from going down tipper Porkland•ter race and into the 'heart of the town, and thus. kept .her In the Marlands. A row of houses called Havelock-terrace is close by, and one of the doors there being open the lioness entered the house. The inmates escaped Into- the rooms and locked themaelveis in, and she - took possession of the front parlor. A number of the keepers now arrived with a cage, and armed with whips and pitchforks. They shut the front door of the house and gala (rpm the back pretniset, placed the cage in the pas. sage, and thrashed and goaded the brute from the parlor into the cage, and after about three quarters of an hour from the time of her escape she was safely lodged in her' den again. The escape and otiase caused much excitement and alarm in the town.—London Times, Aug. 15th; A LADY SHOT .IIV.A 4 3 - AIISENSPER.—A - serious gun accident occurred in the weeds over Oawsaud, by which a lady and her infant very nearly lost their lives. It appears that the lady, with her baby in her arms, was proceeding by a path through the wood to witness some corn being' ut by machinery, and that a dog belonging to one of the fishermen, of the place, preceded her unnoticed and entered the fleid first . Directly the dog was within the field he was fired at by a gamekeeper. The shot paned' right through the hedge and struck the lady In the neck, wounding her severely. The baby was also struck. Fortunately, a gentleman from. the Convict Prisons, Dartmoor, was passing through the wood at the time, and hearing the report tifia-gun. and a ,scream, battened to the spot, and found the poor lady on the ground bleeding, and the-man-who had caused the accident entirely powerless with grief on witnessing what he had done. The sufferer was immediately conveyed to the nearest house, and attended by a surgeon, who, after dressing her wounds, stated that she had indeed had a. very WIN row escape from death.— Western Morning News.

The following communication was presented frofn the National Democratic Committee by, Mr. Law rence, of Rhode Island: • "At a meeting of the National Democratic Com. - ' mittee,,held at the Sherman House, in the city of Chicago, on the Mat of August, 1864, the following resolution-was adopted : " Whereas, A respectful devotion to the memory of Stephen A. Douglas, the great statesman of the West, was the orowning motive which induced the committee to concur in calling the National Con vention in the city of Chicago. "Now, therefore, It is the deliberate conviction of this committee that bad his life been spared, his gigantic grasp, of mind, taken in connection with his declaration that war is distinton , --adeclara, Lion which time has proved the wisdom of'--would long since have restored. the power of the Federal compact, and avoided the terrible loss of life which nothing can compensate,. and that bitterness of feeling so much to be deplored, which is a greater , barrier to the restoration of peace and.union. "Taos. B. Ftoaexca, Chairman. Wsr. Ftura - , F. A. Atxasr , Secretaries." The president then stated the ntostleftbeforttik Convention to' he en ordering the previous question to proceed to the nomination of a oandidate for the Presidency, and it was ordered without dlsSent The vote was then taken by States; the chairman of each delegation announcing the vote when the State& were called. - The final result was announced as follows .Maine-7 for McClellan.

Seymour, Conn., 73 - 34. In announcing the-vote of New-York, Mr. Church said that New York regretted to pass by her favorite son, but she stands now as she hall ever stood, ready to sacrifice her dearest personal preference ibr thee public good. Holding it to be her ditty, above all others, to do all in her poWor to rescue the country from the tyranny that oppresses it, having full con fidence in the Democracy, the ability and patriotism of General George B. McClellan, New York gives him her entire electoral vote Several delegates hairing cast their-votes for Ho. ratio Seymour, when the call of States had been gong through with, &v. Seyinour remarked , that as Wins gentlemen had done him the honor to name him fbi nominaticn, it would be affectation to say that , their expressions of preference dli s not give him plea sure ; but he owed it to himself to say that many' months ago he advised his friends in New York that, for various reasons, private and public, he could not be a candidate for the Chicago nomination. Having 'made that announcement, he would lack the honor of a man, he would do great injustice to those friends to permit his name to be used now. As a member of the New York delegation, he person ally thought it advisable to support an eminent ju rist of that State for nomination; but he was not actuated in this by any doubt of the ability or patri otism of the distinguished gentleman who has been placed in nomination. He knew that Gen. McClel lan did not seek the nomination. He knew that that able officer had declared that it would be more agreeable to him to resume his pdsition in the army,' but he will not honor any less the high position as-. signed him by the great majority of his country men, because he has. not sought It. He desired to add a few words in reference to Maryland and her honored delegates here. Yeater day he did an act of injustice to the distinguished member of that delegation, (Mr. Harris,) inicause he (Seymour) did not understand the purport of his remarks ; and.he now desired to say oat that, Wk.- toned gentleman was incapable of taking a pealtion" In this ,Convention, participating in its demon,. tins while refusing to abide by its decisions; We — are now applealing to the American people ,to, unite and save our country. Let us net look back.' It is with the present that we have to deal. Let . by- , genes be bygones. He could say for our gallant nominee that -no maul; heart will grieve more Middlipg. than his will for any wrongs done to Maryland. As one who did not support him in the New. York delegation, and as one who knows the man well, he felt bound to do him this justice. He (Gov. Sey mour) would pledge his life that when Gen. Rio- Clellan is placed in the Presidential chair he will devote all his energies to the best interests of his country, and to securing, never again to be invaded, all the rights and privileges of the people under the laws and the Constitution. . The president then announced the vote, which was received with deafening cheers, the delegates and the audience joining, the band playing, and the cheering lasting for several minutes. Immediately after the nomination a banner, on which was painted the portrait of McClellan, and bearing as a motto: "/f I cannot have command of my own men, let me share their fate on the field of battle," was run up behind the president , s •plat form, and was welcomed with enthusiastic cheers. A communication was received from the chairman of the German People's Association of New York, claiming to represent 200,000 citizens, accompanied by resolutions pledging the members of the &kiwis.- Con to the support-of the Chicago nominees. • Mr. Vallandighani moved that the nomination of George B. McClellan be made the ttnanimmui sense of the CoUvention, which was seconded' by Mr. McKeon. Governor Powell briefly addressed the Clonven- Um, pledging his ihost earnest efforts for Jimmie. ease of the ticket. Judge Allen, of Ohio, and others made brief apeeohea, and the question was then taken on making the nomination unanimous, which was declared oar lied amid deafening applause. • s Mr. Wickliffe offered a resolution to the effect that Kentucky erpects the first act of Mo(Mellen, When inaugurated in March nest, will be to open the Lincoln prison doors and Set the captives free: The Convention then prooeeded to vote for Vice President. The first ballot resulted as follows: " James Guthrie, 663(; George IL Pendleton, 543 i ; Daniel W. Voorhees, la; Geo. W. Cass, 28 k August Dodge, 9; J. D. Caton, 15 ; Governor Powell, 3234 ; John S. Phelps, 8; blank, k. On the second ballot, New York threw its whole vote for Mr. Pendleton, its chairman stating that its former vote for Guthrie was against his wishes. The other candidates were then. withdrawn, and Mr. Pendleton, or Ohio, was unanimously. nomi nated. Mr. Pendleton, being loudly called Ran, -sal& that lie had no language in which to express his thanks for this evidence of kindness and confidence. He could only promise to devote himself in the future, as in thepast, with entire devotion to the great prin ciples which lie at the foundation of our GOverm went—the rights of the States and liberties of the people. In the future, as in the past, he would be faithful to the great principles of Demorincy l and strong in their cause, with the heats of nature of freemen with them, they will RAin build np the shattered fragments of the Union, and hand it down to the next generation as it was received from the last. A committee of one from each Stater_ was ap pointed to inform the candidates- of their non:a nation and request their acceptance. It was resolve 4 that one person from each State, to be selected by the delegates thereof, be appointed to form a National Executive Committee. It was also resolved that 100,000 copies of the pro; ceedings of the-Convention be printed. Resolved, That the Democracy of the country be requested to meet in the afferent cities, and hold roan ratification meetings.on the 17th of September, the anniversary of the adoption of the Federal °on stitation. . After a vote of thankato the. officers of the Con vention, with nine cheers for the ticket, the Con- vention adjourned subject to the Call of the Natimmi Committee.

The writer expresses era. titication at the occupation of Philadelphia by King George's troops, and laments the defeat of Bar gayne; also, "the disagreeable situation of et.: friends whom the Congress had sent prisoners Virginia"—probably to a "bastile."
