It is the expressed and pub/tithed opinion of the . people and press of that city, that it was the most disorderly political body that ' ever as sembled within its limits, alike a disgrace to the subjects on which it Wag convened to de liberate, and the high cause its members pro fess to have espoused. The following is a list of it nominations : State Senator—C. M. Donovan. City Commissioner John Johnson, Eigh teenth Ward. City Treasurer—Dr, Jas, McClintock, Ninth Ward.

Associate Judge of the Court of . Common Pleaa--Furman Sheppard. In the County Convention, which was also in session yesterday, for the nomination of. candi dates for Sheriff and Register of Wills, there was the utmost confusion, which was only par tially. allayed by the threat of the presiding officer to leave the chair unless order was re stored. The mails or the telegraph brought us no intelligence up to our going to press last evening, of the result of the nominations by this convention. Among the resolutions passed by this convention, they declare that the vic tories of 1812 were gained under a Democratic administration—that nullification was crushed under the same influence—that the war with tlexipo was made triumphant by the same power—but the author of the same resolutions forgot to state that the present rebellion, in all its phases and for all its purposes was conceived under, concocted in and brought forward also by a Democratic administration. When we hear the result of this convention, we will apprise our readers. I TEL Latest From Washington. THE CHARGES AGAINST MAJOR BRLORR. REPORT OF GENERAL DIX The Rumored Fight Near Washington NOTHING SELLABLE RECEIVED AT HEAD QUARTERS. WasaufaTorr, Aug. 28 Serious charges having been presented to the Wari Department Alleging that' Major James Belger, assistant Quartermaster, at the impor tant, depot at Baltimore, was abusing his charge by making his purchases from, and employing as snbordinate agents, persons inimical to the Government. The metier' was referred to Major General Dix for investigation. That officer whose high toned charatter and rigid loyalty made him of all others the proper one to investigate so 'serious a charge, has submitted his report calling before hint some of the most prominent citizens of Balti more who were in' frequent intercourse with Major Belger and obtaining from theni ' state =` meats in writing of what they knew es to hie general course in making his purchases and'giv ir* employments. The General comes to the con clusion that the charges 'airainst, liajor-Belger are so far as they allege an intentional bestowment of public patronage on disloyal men, utterly groundless. It could scarcely have been avoided, being a stranger in Baltimore, I that, some of his purchases shOuld have been from disloyal men ; but it is shown most con clusively that his efforts have been to throw the public money entrusted to him into the right channels, and that, wherever he had found', himself deceived as to the Union .proclivities of his agents, even down to carters and tirsymen7 he has applied the corrective remedy by dis missing them from - service.

The city was rife last night as well as this morning of a fight on the other side of the Potomac, and even in usually well informed quarters there is conflicting information on the subject. It is certain that General hi'Clellan with his customary activity and watchfulness returned thence at I o'clock hist night but from his conversation with mili tary friends there was nothing of an important or serious character. is probable, however, as mentioned by a gentleman of respectability, that a rebel force of three companies of cavalry and about the same number of infantry vrith two field pieces have been hovering in the vi cinity, of Bull's Cross road maneuvering with the view to draw out adetachment of our troops into an ambuscade. As to several soldiers hav ing been killed on each aide in a skirmish, it may be only an imaginary incident to adorn a reported bat le. Panic making seems to be a favorite avocation, and the most preposterous reports are readily believed and circulated. RESIGNED OFFICERS SENT TO FORT LA FA XF4I.E. The officers of the U.
