Our Telegraphic Dispatches.
We still live, and the readers of the Puler-
AriLvAtai TELEGRAPH are not behind the rest
of the community in the reception of reliable
intelligence on all matters of importance in a
political, commercial or warlike character, by
telegraphic) dispatch. In our evening edition
yesterday, and our morning edition to-day,
we gave' more and better-prepared reports of
news by telegraphic dispatch than ever were
received over the wires in this city. To-day our
columns present the same aspect in their ex
tent and reliability of intelligence. And while
we have muscle to work, and brain to keep vs
alive, with the Inland Telegraph Company to aid
us in the enterprise. WE INTRND TO CONTINUE
THIS FLOOD OF REPORTS AS LONG AS THERE ARE
EVENTS IN RIISINESS AND POLITICS, AND VICTORIES
IN WAR, TO BROOM), DESPITE THE. JEAL
OUSY OF RIVALS OR THE CONSPIRACIES
OF MONOPOLIES.
The Inland Telegraph Lines are now work
ing like a charm. With uninterrupted con
nection—with the wires daily adding to their
length, establishing batteries in the great
marts of trade—opening offices in distant,lo r
ealities—linking themselves with the other
great enterprises of the day, and' keeping
pace with trade and commerce, this company;
in an incredible short time, has won that
public confidence which it has required other
corporations years to elicit. For courtesy, r(3,-
liability, and dispatch, we most cheerfully re
commend the Inland Telegraph Company to
our friends and the public.
The Sword Contests of the Sanitary
Fairs.
•
We confess frankly, that the practice
adopted at the different Sanitary Fairs, of
making a contest as to which general officer in
the field should receive a sword as a present
from a majority of those thus voting, has
never yet been presented to us in such a light
as to meet our approval. We are not opposed
to the friends of any officer in the field pro
curing and presenting to their favorite, any
testimonial of their esteem, whether: it be a
'Word, horse, or the trappings necessary to
his outfit. But we are decidedly opposed to
these eontests at our Sanitary Fairs, because,
they are calculated to create heart-burnings,
jealousies, and resentments, where the feeling
should be generously cordial, confident and
united. We all know that such a feeling is
impassible where a strong rivalry is excited,
Bach as has attended thus far these sword con
tests. Men and women are prone to bitter
ness where their preferences are involved.—
The American people, particularly, are given
to this bitter intensity of feeling, a fact to
which we are indebted, perhaps, for the mourn
ful condition of affairs which now ensangnine
their history and carry desolation to the hearts
and the hearths of so many families. In an
other sense, it is not fair; either to use the
names of prominent officers as principals in
snob eontests, for the reason that among the
masses a Whir* secure a sword by any of
the contestants in queStion, carries with it an
implied odium calculated to work great per
sonal mischief, calcidated to spread its influ
ence to the masses of the people in divisions
and bitterness. and calculated to extend to.the
army in impairing the moral and military ener •
gy of good soldiers and faithful officers. Hence,
though it is striking at what is for the present
a popular hallucination, we cannot refrain
from frankly asserting our opposition to these
sword contests. The money derived from
them, in the long run, may prove inadequate
for good in like proportion for the mischief
threatened by the jealousy likely to spring
from such affairs.
—The Fair at New York, after a spirited
contest, voted a sword to Grant. That at St.
Louis, after a similar rivalry, conferred a
sword on Hancock—and now we sincerely
trust that the fair in Philadelphia, without
allowing rivalry to create a contest, will re
solve to present a sword to Gen. Meade. He
has earned the distinction by the display of
consummate military ability. His recogni
tion in the manner we propoSe, would do the
hearts of every soldier in the army good—it
would avoid jealousy because no defeated
competitors would be left secretly to hate their
own failure as well as the success of a rival.
We scarcely dare hope that our suggestions
will have any influence an the multitude
streaming to the great Fair at Philadelphia,
but we do beseech our cotemporaries in that
region to use their powerful influence to stay
the rivalry which engendered such humili
sting jealousies at New York and St. Louis.
What we now want are union and good fel
lowship.
. .
A lifonaL RADICAL. —Fishback, the- .new
Senator elect from Arkansas, was a member
of the Arkansas secession convention, and
signed- the ordinance of secession. ffir
wards he raised two companies of rebel
troops, and fought against Gen. Lyon, at Wil
son's I reek, ,Missouri. Now he is elected to
the United States Senate as a radical Aboli
tionist
TOry Organ.
Such is the result of rebellion. Copper
- h ea d teaching made the slave-holder a traitor.
Every slave-holder and every poor white man
in the South, went into the rebellion a bitter
Democrat—his Democracy teaching him trea
son and driVing him on against his Govern
ment. But mark the result of bitter expe
. ?fence. After tested the fallacy of De
nweracy inciting to rebellion, the slave-holders
themselves are net only discovering the fraud
which led them to rebel, but they are turning their
backs on slavery itself,and as they renounce their
• treason and return to the support of the Union,
=OO= SaOlL =Mit Anartivotturrs. Thire
is nothing strange in such attitudes. They
present merely the logical solutions of the
question of treason as it is involved in the in
stitution of slavery. It establishes the fact
among the traitors themselves, that no man
can be a slave-holder and a loyal citizen, be
cause the very spiriti and-tendency of slavery
are treason to a free government.
Tea IJN.A.NESIITY IN THE NATIONAL UNION
CoNvarnort at Baltimore is one of the hope
ful signs of the times. From the beginning
we have never indulged in any other belief
than that Abritham Lincoln would be the
nominee. If we had been irifiden~seliefr
the action. of legislators throtigholit the North
em States would have ..converted pi. We no
longer have any doubt in the prethises. The
position assumed by the rebels, in Which they
claimed that neither compromise, subjugation,
extermination or annihilation could take
place with Mr. Lincoln in the `Presidential
'chair, has settled the matter in the Nerth.
The prospect is too encouraging with the loyal
territory and too dilapidated in the South, just
at the, present time, to furnish endorsement'
to any such proposition. The Staraap.clStnpea . ,
have gone forward too successfully;from the'
banks of the Itapidan and the Tennessee to
allow of any future dictation relative
to the terms of peace. The very an
nouncement that Abraham Lincoln, as
President, was a bar to any pOssible
settlement of the difficulties in which we are
involved, has'served to declare it as the will
of the friends of the Federal Governinent that .
none other than Abraham Lincoln shall - be .
Chief Executive for a second tenn. . This de
termination, too, is arrived at .when. every
Southern port is blockaded, and every rebel
army is being driven before the Federal
forces. Union men still continue
,tc . ) ,rally to
such pOirds as most dernand thei4 services,
and nothing is apparent that can lead to the
belief thet the:North is one - whit 'the less re
,
solved to re-establish the Government than it
was two years ago. Ever:) , movement of gen
eral Grant bas been a broadside hi 'tie t t ogf
vention for Sr. Lincoln, and every Southern
outrage, which has roused the btOrtheriiike at
this period, has added to the spirit which will
at all hazards place him lei another } term in
the Presidential chair.

The Convention was called to order at 10:30
by the Chairman, and a. highly impressive
prayer was made by Rev. Mr. Harris,of Ohio.
, The rolinf delegates. was then celled, and
the chairmen of the respective delegations
Were named—John A. : King, speaking for
New York. : ;
The torch: nil;tee on order of business made
their report, .
which . was adopted without
amendment.
Preston Ring, chairman of the committee
an credentials, reported as,statedimyrpfr. dis
patches 'Of 'last night. ' - •
The announceme' t that the Radical delega
tion from Mistiociri had been dedared entitled
to seats, was received with great applause by
the convention •and the audience. •
• Mr. Stevenson, of -Western Virginia, made
a minority report in favor of allowing dale
gates' from seceded to Note":
Jim Lane, of Kansas, also presented a,sec
ond-minaiity rePcit in favor of allowing tha'
delegations from Nebraska, Nevada and Col
orado, to cast their , votes in the convention.
Preston King - moied to amendbirodi:nitting
the copperhead delegation from Mitsiouri on
an equal footing with the radicals—the votes
of Missouri to be cast by both united, where
they could agree, or in case of disagreement
Missouri to have no vote. This
. proposition
Was received with but little favor by the con
vention. ,
A request by one of the copperheairdelega
tions to intrude a speech upon the convention
was summarily squelched.
Mr. Brandegee, of Conn., then took the
floor, and in a short bat telling speech showed
up the Missouri copperheads in their true
Colors.
Dr. Brackiniidkerof Ky. , spoke in favor of
admitting both dele.gatiOns.
George Wm. Curtis, in one of his rare and
elo • uent efforts, drove a long spike into the
co • of the kliksouri copperheads when the
previous [question was demanded The
amendments of Breekimidge and Preston
King were voted down by an overwhelming
majority. The adoption of the report of the,
moved:committee was then mved.
At this stage of the pyopeedings, tha,Chair
man discoveredwhat the'Conirention hadlong
before known—that he did not understand
his business, and was unfit for the position'
he was in. The previous question was finally
ordered upon the main question upon admit
ting the radicals. ." • - • •
Kentucky, when her name'was called, voted
21 for the Radicals, and one againstthem, the
latter being the vote of Dr. Breckinridge. The
vote in convention resulted as follows: For
the Radicals 440• for the Blairs Thus per
at the hands of the Rational Conven
tion, the pestiferous faction led by the Blair
family, which . has for the past three years
bred discord and dissension in the Republican
party,-.-and: disgrace upon the ,National A
dministration.
The question was then ,taken, upon giving
the delegation from lowa a vote` in the eon
s,. ntion. At the conclusion of the vote a
small inaiolity was found to be agailli 'the
proposition.
A change of votes -was effected,. however;
and the proposition carried by 310 to 315.
The adniission of the Louisiana and Arkan
sas delegations with the right to vote, was
then carried by 307 to 167, New York, Ohio
and several other States having completely
caved in on this question.
The next question was upon the admission
of the Territorial delegations, which were
unanimously . admitted.
, Raving disposed of the committee on cre
dentials, Mr. Lane, of Kansas, moved the call
of the committee on resolutions, when Henry
'J. Riymond presented. the report of
'the committee, which.' was received with
deafening cheers and applause. The resolu-
Oinks are as follows- '
[The resolution de
mending the entire destruction of slavery,
'brought the , entire convention to its
feet, and for many minutes everything
else wet swallowed up in the perfect
tempest of applause which followed its read
,ing. The scene during the reading of the
resolutions, it is utterly impossible to de
scribe. EverYbody seemed wholly carried
away with the wildest enthusiasm, and it was
with the greatest difficulty that Mr. Raymond
succeeded in .completing - the reading of the
resolutions, wich were adopted by acclama-
tion.j . `f
Mr:: Delano, of Ohio, moved to proceed to,
the nomination of a candidate.
Simon Cameron offered a resolution that
Abraham Lincoln and- Hannibal Hamlin be
declared the Union nominees for President
ancl,Vice President.
Col-Stone, of lowa,, moved to lay the reso-,
lution 'upon the table. 4 "
Tiro or three delegates moved the 'nomina
tion of Lincoln by acclamation, • but in tho
great excitement and uproar which followed; •
nothing could be heard or done.
•
.
Henry' Raymond moved that the roll of
States be called and that. each pate mune its
candidate,,which was carried... •
The roll was at length called. It was a
mere matter of form. -Long.ago the people
had determined thfitAbrahani Lincoln should
be 'the next 'l"reOtdent, and the politicians
present, were only• here to officially. declare
the fact ' , and it was done. Old Able, is nomi
