The Democratic National Convention
baa- been postponed until the 29th of
August instead of being held on the 4ih of
Jaly.' Thisis jost right. By that time
affatrs will have assumed a more-comprehensive
apect whi.:h will tend to. produce
harmony and action in the Convention, and
II w ill be ready ' to distinguish the on ly
true and safe path to doty and success.
A candidate, properly qualified in every
respect can thep be selecied.and his election
wjll be undoubted, provided Lmco'n ha ere
thil time precipitated the country irredeem
ably into ruin. Let the choice of that Core
Yention be A!cClellin or "any other man."
if be aopports Democratic principles ami
measores, the Democracy will be entirely
satisfied. Lie principles and measures
and not men that the true Democracy bat

arbitrator, and may it ao be proven in the

The vote against repealing it a few days
-ago was two to one Its true that Old Abe
asked for iia repeal, tot the opposition is
too great, the present Members are looking
forward, or-at least a majority of them, to a
re-election ; acd they deem the repeal of
this clause, at the present lime, certain po
litical death to them We were always of
theepinion that this money would not fun-,
rtor pot down rebellion ; and the country ii
fast gelling in such'a mood that it money
is rejected, it is feared by many of the ad
ministration supporter, that the Govern
merit' will receive neither men nor money.
It has nearly come to thai no people are
becoming so digute-l with the preein ad
ministration the manner in which they
bate conducted the affairs of our . overn
ment that they are fast becoming 'oath to
give it any support enber pecuniary or oth
erwise. Cannot Abe Lincoln and party see
this or hare they become so totally blinded
in their Abolition misrule and pariizan
schemes to roin our country 1

entitled, ' Is Sivebv Condemn ro av thi

worth the money and a person's time to set

to misunderstand The Dr. claims to be
trying to convert the North and South into
measures, concerning the Slavery question

repeatedly been the object of censure and
great deal of abuts' by both the Radicals

LATE WAR NEWS.
The movement made by General Grant
has at length become plain.- He has divi
ded hia army into two portions. One part,
consisting of- Brooks, Smith and Burnide's
corps, ia entrenched in front-of Bermuda
Hundred and City Point, the outer lines ex
pending almost to Petersburg The other.
part, consisting of all the cavalry and
Weight, Warren and Hancock's corps, ha
beea sent westward on a gigantic raid
around Petersburg. The object of this col
umn is to cut the railroad running south
from Petersburg io Weldon, in Nor-h Caro
lina, and the lone running southwest from
Richmond to Danville. By keeping Bnrn
eide, Frmth and Brocks in the entrench
ments running across the neck from ihe
James to the Appomattox, and from thence
south between City-Point and Petersburg,
Grant hopes to accomplish two objects.. He
would defend his snpplr pos a and prevent
any large foroe of the enemy from going
after the othr column That he will de-
i. fend his snpply pests is probable but it is
ot very likely that he will keep Lee em
ployed. . x
The" moving column left the neighbor
hood of Petersburg ou Tuesday night. The
cavalry led ihe advance..- Wright followed
them ; Warren followed Wright, and Han
cock brought up the rear. They retired
some distance from Petersburg before they
began marching westward They then ad
vanced arnond to the south and west on a
curved Tine with a radius of about ten miles
from Petersburg. They then moved close
ly together so that Wright and the cavalry
led the advance, whilst Warren and Han
cock trough! up the rear.. They crossed
the Norfolk Railroad arid the Jerusalem
road, running southeast I mm Perhurg. a
short distance beyond the railroad The
rearguard closed all communication with
City Point. The cavalry on Wednesday
reached the Weldon Railroad running south
from Petersbnrg, and began tearing up the
rails. On Wednesday night the rear cross
ed the Jerusalem road
General Lee had discovered the move
ment almost as soon as it began. He sent
columns out of Petersburg along the J?ro
salem road and the Norfolk Railroad These
columns reached the Federal troops march
ing westward across these roads on Wed
nesday night The Federal fl-k was at
tacked. Hancock at once faced towards
Petersburg and began a contest. The Con
i
federates turned his eastern flank and War
ret was called in. The Confederates cap
tured four gnus and lour hundred prisoners
by a sudden surprise. The column advanc
ing wes'ward was halted and tornet lowards
Petershurg Wright formed the left Han
cock the right, Warren ihe reserve. The
Conlederates made some brisk charges but
were repulsed. I bus stood affairs when
our report suddeoly closes. Scarcely had
the battle with Hancock began when the
Confederates made an attack apon the en -tr-uchmenis
in front ot Burnside at City
Point. The result of thisls not reported
Our latest intelligence from the army is
to 6 o'clock on Thursday morning. It is
unofficial. Secretary Stanton has sent us
iiTrthing. Over forty hours has elapsed since
the last news left City Point. Secretary
Stanton i indirect telegraphic comroontca
tio'ri with that place. He has within the
past fonr dais sent us oews wi bin ii:ht
hours after it lett City Point He could, we
suppose, hate done so last night. Grants
position is a perilous one. Hi army is di
vided into two pans. The enemy is be
tween them. Thursday !at - mast ha ve
witnessed the mot important events Sec
retary Stanton must know the result. No
storms or raids have inierlered with lb
wires. He has not even as is his custom,
told c '.bat he had no intelligence . I.ai
evening the telegraph office gave us official
notice that no more rews wooUl be sent, as
early as hall past twelve o'clock- The
osaal hour of such a non&atioti is from o
to three o'clock. To da a steamer las
NorEunpe. Secretary Siatitori, by his si
fence at a most critical moment, causes all
;o fear the worst result.
General Forrest ha- just caned on a raid
to cut the rsilrosds in Sherman rssr. His
forces are marchidg agaiust the one con
necting Nashville with Chattanooga. On
June I7ib be crossed the Tennessee River
near Es-tpon. in Alabama jwsi south of the
Tennessee line. All the Confederate forces
which have been in different port ions oi
Tr-'ine-see, K-niuck and Alabama, are
with Forrest, and he has a large command.
Ean-ort is about one hniidreJ and fifty
miles southv.es: of ifce Nabiile sod Chat
tanooga railroad. It was Forrest's intention
to start on Ibis expedition some time snu e,
Out General Storgis' advancing column pre
vented it. A Starts is now out ot the way,
and the destruction oi -hi arm; broke op
the only force capable of wi.hstanding For
rest, he wi I have a clear course The ror
repondent irnm the portion of. Tennessee
thieatened by Forrest write in a very gloomy
manner. General Rousseau commands
the department. He has a large seel on of
country to defend, and a very amall force..
He has built block-houses al various points
in anticipation of this raid. They are to i
be posts ol relnge for detached forces, when
the enemy can be kep at bay ont' a force,
held in readiness to march wherever need
ed, can go to their re-cue. The idea of op
posing Forrest, howev-r, seems to be giv
en up. Il is taken for granted that the rail
road will he cut and the only redeeming
feature of the, prospect is the hope that For
rest will not hold it long In preparation
for this raid the Federal Authorities have
mred large quantities of provisions at Chat
tanooga. Some time since there was a report, thro'
Con'ederate channels, of an attack by Gen.
Hooker apon General Johnson's position
at Marietta, in Georgia. The Confederate
account stated mat Hooker was repulsed
with heavy ,'os-es, but gave no detsilsT We
now have this Federal ataiemeut The point
attacked waa Lost Mountaiu, the south wes
tern of the three peaks ol the ridge in (rout
ot Marietta. : The Confederate western
flank waa posted upon it. The report states
lnal Hor.ker captured one thousand
pnao-
ners and twtlri guns.
An aiuek was alio
'made "on Pine"Mountain, the "adjoining
, peaki It was captured and soon after aban
doned. The telegram about Hooker states
that tut four hundred Confederate, priso
ners Were bronght off from Locast- Moun-
tain, and says nothing about retaining the
position The truth . appears to be that
Hooker retired from Lost Mountain after
; capturing it, abandoning the greater part of
(' the prisoners,alMh4 guns and all the ground
j to the enemy As Secretary Stanton and
; General Sherman do not in any way allude
j to this contest, ve may safely conclude that
it wa a Federal repulse '

It is reported that there has been a cor
respondence going on between the military
authorities hi Ohio and at Washing on, about
the re-arrest ot Vallandiaham. The Onto

not be made without considerable blood
