OF ILLINOIS.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Andrew Johnson,
OF TENNESSEE.
The 4th of July and 22d of February Le
gal Holidays..
Cutside of the holidays recognized by the
Christian world, there are two days that must
forever be held dear and holy by the Ameri
can people. These are the Twenty-second of
February and the Fourth of July. The one, the
birthday of the Father of his Country, the
immortal Washington, and the other the anni
versary of American independence. At the
last:session of the Legislature, a joint resolu
tion was passed, legalizing these days as holi
days—by which we infer, that the observance
of the same in a proper patriotic manner,
with the suspension of all business on such
occasions, cannot affect contracts of any kind
for the performance of work within a limited
tithe, as well as definitely fixing that notes
coming due within periods embracing either
of these days, are not to be affected by the
observance of the same. This, alone, will
prevont a vast deal of misunderstanding, and
understandingly establish a uniform practice
for our business men and banking institutions
on this subject.
—hi addition to the understanding arrived
at in a business way, by thus legalizing the
observanCe of these two distinguished occa
sions in American history, the fact of the
legislation on the subject will act as a sort of
constraint with many people, in rendering a
fulfand patriotic respect to the days in ques
tion. Legalized as holidays, employers will
be more prompt to yield the observance of the
2wenty-second of. Febriwtry and the Foukh of
July to their employees—to their servants
and their apprentices. At no time in Ameri
can history, certainly, could similar legislation
been more opportunely made. Now, if ever,
we should do reverence to the anniversary alike
of the:birth of our great defender, and the
birth of the nation.
Teachers , State Convention
Oar attention has been directed to the fact
that' this important body will assemble in
Altoona on Tuesday, August 2d, the day fixed
for the election on the Constitutional amend
ments. It 'is to be regretted that the time
flied for this meeting should occur when every
voter friendly so the cause of his country as it
is represented in the rights of the soldiers,
should be at home. The election on the 2d
day of August, ensuing, will be one of the
most important ever held in this Common
wealth. The issue involves two great princi
ples—one recognizing the citizenship of the
Moldier who goes forth to battle for his country,
and the other providing for the polling of
every vote friendly to the National Union at a
time when authority should only be lodged
in the hands of pure and patriotic men.
There - is no_policy in disguising the fact that
we shall need every vote friendly to the en
franfikentent of the soldier, to give to the
amendinent to the Constitution providing for
this purpose a handsome majority. The ene
mies of the soldier are working secretly to
insure his disgrace by the defeat of this
amendment. Hence, the necessity of every
true and loyal man being at home to vote ou
this question, on the 2 nd day of August.
—We suggest to those having the Conven
tion in charge, so to alter the time fixed for
its meeting, as to afford the teachers of the
State, and those usually attracted to such as
semblages, an opportunity to do their
country's defenders a service at the polls on
the 2nd day of August. Will our loyal co
temporaries join us in urging this subject on
the attention of those having authority in
the premises?
A Correct Estimate of the Credits of Sub-
Districts on the Draft in Pennsylvania.
The Secretary of War a fortnight since ad
dressed a brief enquiry to the Governor of
Pennsylvania, for information in relation to
thereturris made to the Adjutant General's
office of the State, on the subject of credits
on the draft. The matter being referred to
Adjutant General Russell, he at once pro
ceeded to gather and arrange the returns
necessary for reply. This reply embraces an
account of the re-enlistments in the veteran
regiments of Pennsylvania infantry, cavalry
and artillery, as such enlistments were cred
ited to the different sub-districts throughout
the Commonwealth. The object to be estab
lished by this information is to compare the
returns inacle to the State authority with those
to the Wax Department, in order that the
eredits may be correctly arranged, and that
all pbadible . attempts at fraud or misrepresen
tation circumvented and defeated.
The document prepared in the Adjutant
General's office reflects the greatest credit on
the energy and promptitude of Adjutant Gen
eral Russell, and the clerical force of his de
,.
part:dent. It occupies'a half ream of closely
written foolscap paper, and embraces infor
mation connected with the military organiza
tions of the 'State for the past three years.
This document, for its extent, importance
and intricacy of detail, is the most volumin
ous,that ever issued from the same dePtitt
nsentinihe shape of a correspondence.
Personal and Political
The Chicago acmes Zeitung is not the only
German paper in the Northwest that supports
Mr. Lincoln for re-election. The lowa Tri
bune, the leading German paper of Southern
lowa, believes the opinion expressed by Fre
mont in his letter of acceptance, that "there
is no reason why there should be any division
among the really patriotic," is the truth, and,
that its influence may correspond with its
principles, the Tribune raises the Lincoln and
Johnson flag. It says:
"The great National Convention in the
name of a mighty people, expressed its deci
sion, and to that we submit. We can hardly
believe that the Radicals and Copperheads,
merely to split our party, will unite them
selves.in a sham fight, and, like Don Quixote
with the fan of the windmill, fight against
public. opinion, not even for the. purpose of
electing their local tickets. Three cheers,
therefore, for our present and next President,
Abraham Lincoln, and our next Vice Presi
dent, Andrew Johnson."
The postponement of the Democratic Na
tional Convention has one feature which will
meet with the decided favor of the public.
The 4th of July will be saved from the des
ecration which was threatened it. Think of
Vallandigham being nominated for office in
the United States on the 4th of July! The
very thought is intolerable. Over in Canada
it might have been all right, but if the soil of
the United States is to witness such an exhi
tion, by all means let it not take place on the
4th of July. Whether the above considera
tion has had anything to do with the action
of the Democratic National Committee or
not, the announced change of time for the
performance will, in the particular alluded to,
aftbrd general relief to loyal men.
Major Wm. McKee Dunn, recently nomina
ted for Congress in the Third Indiana District,
declines, having been appointed Assistant
Judge Advocate General under Mr. Holt, who
has been reappointed Judge Advocate General.
If any doubt existed of the truth of the re
port of the death of Bishop General Polk, it
is dispelled by a dispatch in the rebel papers,
dated Atlanta, June 15, which announces the
arrival of the corpse in that city, the holding
of religious services by Dr. Quintard, and the
escort of the remains to the Augusta train.
The New York correspodent of the Chicago
lountal says Fremont will be tendered the
Union nomination for Governor of the State
of Now York, with the understanding that he
withdraws from the Presidential canvass.
The President has accepted the resignation
of the following officers of General Fremont's
staff : Colonel Anselme Albert, Colonel John
T. Fiala, Colonel Charles Zogonyi, Lieuten
ant Colonel John G. Filson, Major Leonidas
Haskell.

NEAR PETERSBURG,
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Friday, June 24, 9 r. M. •
This morning opened with one of the heavi
est cannonades of the whole campaign, and the
impression was produced on people at a dis
tance from the scene that a terrible battle was
in progress. It transpired soon, however,
that the enemy had merely been wasting am
munition in concentrating a tremendous but
harmless fire upon the troops and batteries of
our 18th corps from his batteries beyond the
Appomattox. Terrible as was this storm of
'shot, grape, shell and canister rained along
our lines on the right, the damage done was
utterly insignificant. The battle opened at
about 6:30 A. as. and closed at about 9. Our
own batteries during this time were not silent,
but replied in spirited style.
While the artillery fire was raging, a charge
was made on a portion of Gen. Stannard's di
vision of the 18th Corps by Hoke's brigade of
Rebels. About 400 of them succeeded in en
tering our front line of rifle pits--a mere picket
line—our skirmishers retiring to the main
breastworks of the front line of battle. While
the Rebels were comin g in our troops did not
fire, from the fear that they might hit our
own men. The Rebels, encouraged by this,
advanced boldly toward our entrenchments,
but the moment our skirmishers had all got
in, a volley was fired into the ranks of the
enemy which mowed them down fearfully.
Their progress was at once stopped, but to
retreat was as much out of the question as to
advance. While placed in this dilemma, our
men continued firing rapidly upon them.—
They - made signs of a desire to surrender,
which were not at first perceived, but as soon
as their wish was ascertained, firing was dis
continued and they received a cordial invita
tion to come in. The number of prisoners
taken was 166, and 36 wounded were brought
off the ground. The remainner of the 400
must have been either killed or fataly wounded
and unable to get away, as the men captured
tray that none went back.
Many of the prisoners appeared to be rather
pleaSed than sad at the lot which had befallen
them. One, a sergeant, exclaimed fervently
as he jumped into our entrenchments, "thailk
God, I'm a white man agtdn !" Rather an
emphatic way of announchrg that he con
sidered himself released from slavery in be
xoming a prisoner. Another, a captain, _ex
pressed the opinion that the entire briga4e to
which he belonged would come in if they
could do so without being fired upon. It i 4
worthy of remark that these men appear t
be chiefly South Carolinians, and, judging by
the feelings they express, one would infer
that the State which inaugurated the war as s
ready to cry " Hold, enough !" But these
men are of the poorer class, and their views
and feelings are entirely distinct from those
of the wealthy oligarchy who rule them, aid
for the accomplishment of their own aireq,
wield them by a system of the most shamele.s
mendacity with rigorous exercise of power.
Some of the prisoners taken this morning say
they have been told constantly that if the
Yankees were successful, they would reduce
them to a condition almost worse than that of
the slaves, compelling them to work for "sev
en pence a day," or whatever they may see fit
to give. I was particularly struck by the na
turalness and eVident sincerity of a reply
made by a wounded rebel to some one who in
quired whether he came into the army on his
own inclination. "No, indeed," he answpreci,
"I ought to be at home plowing corn this very
hour." The look of care in his eye, as he
said this, betrayed anxious thoughts of his
distant wife and children and the crops he
had planted wilting.under the hot sun for want
of his culture. 0
Yesterday afternoon Gen. Wight with the
6th Corps, made a movement to the lift, and
reached the Weldon railroad, of which he de
stroyed some five miles. Fires were built
along it, which destroyed the ties, and at the
same time warped the iron so as to make it
unfit for future use. Having accomplished
the object, he returned to his former position.
. Toward evening a report was brought in
that a heavy column of the enemy was mov
ing off toward our left, with the probable
intention of turning our flank. Some little
excitement was created by this statement, as
soon as it got "hinted roundi"‘but it was only
a brief time before preparations had been
Made to repel any attack in the threatened
quarter. Col. Sweitzer's brigade of General
Griffin's division, sth Corps, moved down the
Jerusalem Plank Road at a double quick, and
Col. Collis' provisional brigade, from the
headquarters of the army, moved down in the
same direction, selecting- asuitable position.
They deployed across and to the right of the
road, and threw up a line of breastworks
Which were held throughout the night. No
enemy appeared to molest them.
Everything is extremely quiet to-night.
Three or four times since dusk : I have heard
the report of a cannon aud a little musketry,
but now I hear no sound more warlike than
that of horses browsing in the bushes near
where I write, and a single wagon rattling
over the corduroys a quarter of a mile away.
Not the sound of a single gun, large or small,
for the last half hour..
The heat to-day has been intense, and the
dust rises in clouds which envelop every
thing.

WITH THE LIMIT OF THE POTOHAO,
Saturday, June 25-8 A. M.
During two hours yesterday morning, from
6to 8, the earth trembled to the thunder of
more than 100 cannon. It seemed an artillery
carnival raging with a, sort of satanic joy--
Belay Smith was attacked. It will be remem
bered that he holds next to the Appomattox,
within less than a mile of the city. His line
stretches across the plain at right angles with
the river, while the rebels have undisturbed
possession of the left bank opposite, and a
long distance in his rear. On that bank they
suddenly uncovered 60 guns, subjecting the
18th Corps bleu enfilading fire and reverse
fire.
With the exception of Gettysburg, the war
has not afforded another instance of so many
guns concentrated_ upon one point and firing
so rapidly for such length of time. The plain
seemed alive with bursting shell, the dis
charges were as continuous and rapid as the
ticking of a watch. It did not seem possible
that men could remain there and live, but
they did both, so effectually were they cover
ed, that two hours of such pounding though
it strewed the ground with fragments of shell
like broken crockery around an old tavern,
caused a loss of only 30. Meanwhile our own
guns replied, and the cannonading ran along
the line until the mortais of the 2d Corps,
miles away, rang the chorus. At length the
enemy attacked, with men as well as cannon.
They very foolishly moved a thin line upon
our works, since ascertained to have been
Haygood's South Carolina brigade of Holte'S
division.
The repulse was the work of but a few min
utes, and was complete. One hundred and
sixty five prisoners fell into our hands, among
them five commissioned officers, viz: Captain
Henry Buist, 27th South Carolina, command
ing regiment; J. N. Mulvaney, 27th S. Caro
lina; Lieut. A. B. White, 27th S. Carolina;
Capt. J. E. Raysor, 11th S. Carolina,andLibut.
Clements, 21st S. Carolina. Nearly all of
these fell into the hands of Cpl. Henry's bri
gade, of Stannard's (late Brook's) division.
By a stratagem do the part of Col. H. (observ
ing that the force advancing ' was so slender
that he need not fear it,) he at once withdrew
his pickets and ordered his men not to fire.
The rebels ran up and took the rifle-pits. His
pickets were then ordered to surrender, and
compelled to do so.
These pits were so constructed as to afford
no protection to the rebels when they had got
into them. They are called French rifle-pits,
and are simple excavations shaped .like an
old-fashioned kitchen dusting-pan, like the
half of a square box sawn through diagonally
from corner to corner, with the deep end, to
ward the enemy . That deep end is protection
to our pickets, and then, if driven out,. the
next line has a direct fire through the shallow
end upon any who may seek shelter in it. If
the rebels expected with their sixty guns to
make the plain too hot for us, and, thinking
they had done so, advanced their line to oc
cupy our works, they were stupendously mis
taken.
The affair has done the army a power of
good, in the effect it has had upon the monde
of the men.
All day yesterday the sharpshooting was
unusually merciless, both sides indulging in
the pastime.
During the afternoon, beyond significant
movements of troops, nothing of importance
occurred, or, if there did, no word of it has
reached me.
