Tbc Presidential Nominees.
,Tlie Chicago Convention has placed in
. nomination lor President oar favorite Gen
eral, patriot, and statesman, Geo rue Bhis
tos McClxllan, ef New Jersey, and Hon.
Georgc H. Pjendllton, of Ohio, for Vice
President. The name of the former has
teen 8t oar mast-beafi for several months,
and the Convention has very wisely saved
os the trouble of taking it down and placing
another in its stead. Gen. McClxllam has
oot beec the choice of every Democrat for
-this office, bnt having received the unani
mous nomination, and standing upon a plat
lorra that no honest man can reject, it is the
-doty of every member of the party a give
him a hearty and nnrlaging sapport. -
It was the convictioc of the Convention
that Gen. McClellaw was the strongest man
named, conld command more of the army
rote, and if elected would use his best
efforts to establish a peace, end. upon that
conviction he received a large majority of
the votes on the first ballot. He is a man
w&o we can elect, and in whom we can
place the most explicit confidence. There
is no reason why he shoald not receive a
warm support from every ina who loves
his country. In him we have an advocate
-of Peace, Free Press and Free Speech, the
Right of Asylum, Trial by Jury, and the
Elective franchise. These are valuable and
most sacred right, and with him they will
cot be violated, as they have been, and are
daily, by the present unworthy incumbent.
How. George H. Pskdl.tox, the nomi
nee for Vice President, is a ripe scholar,
taman, and patriot. He is an able jur
ist, ready debater, and a true and honest
man. For several years he has repiesented
his Slate in the hails cf Congress with hon
or to the State and credit to himself. He
stands upon the Democratic ticket to-day, a
worthy representative of that glorious pha
lanx which stood up in Congress to de
nounce, in the face of raving madness,' a
war which has devastated the country, bur
dened ocr productive industry with a
crashing debt, and murdered, aye, mur
dered at the bidding of a fanatical Abolition,
hundreds of thousands of our sons and
brothers. He always protested fearlessly
against the destructive- passions of faoati
cim. His record is right. He will, with
McClellan, be triumphantly elected. He
will receive the support of every true Amer
ican citizen.

tbso the Constitution, the Constitution it
self'has been disregarded in every part,
and public liberty and private rights alike

fare demand that immediate efforts be

view'o an ultimate Convention of all the
States, or other peaceable means, to the

ment, peace may be restored on the basis
cf the Federal Union of the States.
Resolved, That the direct interference of
the military authority of the Uo-ited States
in the recent elections held in Kentucky,
Maryland, Missouri, -and Deleware, was a
shameful violation ef the Constitution, and

pafred ; and they hereby declare that they
consider the -administrative usurpation of

terference with and the denial of the right
of the people to bear arms, as calculated
to prevent a restoration of the Union and
the perpetuation of a government deriving
its just powers from the consent of the
governed.
Resolved, That the shameful disregard of
the Administration to its duty in respect to
our fellow citizens who now and long have
been prisoners of war ia a suffering condi

the score alike of public and common hu
manity. '.

Resolved, That ic the future.as in the past,
we will adhere with unswerving fidelity to
the Union, under the Constitution, as the
only solid foundation of our strength, secu
rity and happiness as a people, and as the
framework of the Government, equally con

the States, both Northern and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does ex
plicitly declare as the tense of the Ameri
can people, that after four years of failure
to restore the Union by the experiment of
war, during which, under the pretence of
military necessity or the war power, higher
than the Constitution, the Constitution itself
has been disregarded is every part, and pub
lie liberty and private right alike trodden
down and the material prosperity of the
country essentially impaired: that justice,
humanity, liberty, and the public welfare
demand that imrrediate efforts be made for
the cessation of hostilities, with a view to
the ultimate convention of all the State or
other peaceable means to the end that at
the earliest practicable moment peace may
be restored on the basis of the Federal
Union of the States.
Resolved, That the direct interference of
ihe military authority of the United Slates
io the recent elections held in Kentucky,
Maryland, Missouri and Delaware was a
shameful violation of the Constitution and
a repetition of such acts in the approach

and will be resisted with all the means and
power under onr control.
Resolved, That the aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal
Union and the rights of the States unim

consider the administrative usurpation of
extraordinary and dangerous powers not

and imprisonment, trial and sentence ol
American citizens in States where civil (aw
exists in full force, the suppression ol free
dom of speech and of the press, the denial
of the right of asylum, the open and avow

The Convention re-assembled on the
third day at 10 o'clock, and proceeded to
cuke a nomination for f raiideat. Tha rota
was then taken by States, which . resulted
as follows :
For' George B. McClellan, 202$ ; for Thos.
H. Seymour, Con., 23$. McClellan having
the twt-third vote and more was declared
the nominee. On the vote being announced
by 'the Chairman, the wigwam was the
scene of great enthusiasm and deafening
cheers, the Delegates and all 'joining, and
the band playing. A banner was imme
diately displayed, with the portrait of Mc
Clellan painted on it, and bearing the mot
to, "If I cannot have 'command of my
own men, let me share their fate on the
field of battle."
In announcing the'vote of NewTof k,Mr.
Church said that New York regretted to
pass by her favorite son, but she stands
now as she has ever stood, ready to sacri
fice her dearest personal preference for the
public good. Holding it to be ber duty
above all others to do all in her power to
rescue the country from the tyraeffy that
oppresses it, having full confidence in the
-Democracy, the ability and patriotism of
Gen. George B. McClellan, New York gives
him her entire electoral vote.
"Several delegates having cast their rotes
for Horatio Seymonr,whea the call of States
had been cone through with, Governor Sey
mour remarked thai as soma gentleman had
done him the honor to name him for nomi
nation, it would be affectation to say that
their expressions of preference did not give
htm pleasure ; but he owed it to himself
to say that many months ago he advised
his friends in New York that, for various
reasons, prrvate mod public, he -co eld 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 be personally
thought it advisable to support an eminen t
jitr'ntt of tlut State for nomination ; bnt be
was not actuated in this by any doubt of
the ability or patriotism of the distinguished
gentleman who has been placed in nomi
nation. He knew that General McClellan
did not seek the nomination. He knew that
that able o'Sicer had declared that it would
be more agreeable to him to resume hra po
sition in the army ; but he will not honor
any less the high position assigned him by
the great majority of kis countrymen, be-
cause he has not sought it.
Mr. Vallandigbam move J that the "Domi
nation o! General "George B. McClellan be
made the unanimous sense of this Conven
tion, which was secend9d by Mr. McKeon.
Governor Powell briefly addressed .the
Convention, pledging bis most earnest efforts
for the success of the ticket.
Judge Allen, of Ohio, and others made
brief speeches, and the question, was then
taken on making the nomination unani
mous, whicn was declared carried amid
deafening applause.
Mr. Wickliffe offered a resolution to the
effect that Kentucky expects the first acts
of McClellan, when inaugurated in March
next, wi'l be to open the Lincoln prison
doors and ret the captives free.
The Convention then proceeded to vote
for Vice President.
The first ballot resulted as follows :
James Guthrie. 62 ; George. H. Pendle
ton, 54 ; Daniel W. Voorhees, 13 ; Geo.
W. Cass, 26 ; August Dodge, 9 ; J. D. Ca
ton, 16; Governor Powell, 32; John 5.
Phelps, 8 ; blank,
On tbe second ballot New York threw its
whole vote for Mr. Pendleton, its chairman
stating that its former vote for Guthrie was
against bis wishes. The other candidates
were then withdrawn, and Mr. Pendleton,
of Ohio, was unanimously nominated.
Mr. Pendleton being loudly called for said
that he had no language ia which to express
his thanks for this evidence of kindness and
confidence. He could only promise to de
vote himself in the future as io the past to
the great principles which lie at the foun
dation of our Government, the rights ot the
States and liberties of tbe people. In the
future as in the past he would be faithful to
the great principles of Democracy ; and
strong in their cause with the beans of mil
lions of freemen with them, they will again
build up tbe shattered fragments of the
Union and hand it dowo to the next gener
ation as it was received from the last.
A committee of one from each State was
appointed to inform the candidates of their
nomination, and request their acceptance.
It was resolved that one person from each
State, to be selected by the delegates there
of, be appointed to form a National Execu
tive Committee.
It was also resolved that 100,000 copies
of the proceedings of the Convention be
printed.
Rewlved. That the Democracy of the
country be requested to meet in the differ
ent cities, and hold mass ratification meet
ings on the 17th of September, the anniver
sary of tbe adoption of the Federal Consti
tution. After a vote of thanks to the officers of
the Convention, with niue cheers for tbe
ticket, the Convention adjourned, subject to
the call of the National Committee.
The Townships of Catawissa, Montour,
Scott, Centre, Mifflin, and Bloom, have,
we nnderstand, filled their quotas in the
five hundred thousand call with volunteers,
at bounties ranging from S350 to 5500. :
There are other townships in the county
doing the same. The preser.t draft if made
will bi a sweeping aflair. It will leave in
some townships not a man subject to do
military duty. It is high time Abe Lincoln
stops this kind of business. The people are
bent on making a change about the first
Tuesday of November next. They will is
sue a requisition ou Lincoln and party to
avacuate Washington city, and allow their
places to be filled by patriots, scholars, and
atetesmen I
Wonder if the meeting held in Blooms
burg on Friday last, for the purpose of rais
ing money to pay a bounty to volunteers,
did not convert Thomas Dunn 1 With con
siderable dread and reluctance he was, by
the force of circumstances, induced to un
lock his pocket-book ! In one point of view
he was more patriotic than bis Abolition
friends, by his signifying his willingness to
itani tit draft! 1
The Seien-Thirtles What are they !
We trust that a large portion of our read
ers have pondered the Appeal of Mr. Fes
senden.iour new Secretary of the Treasury.
The purport of it is that the People of the
United States, Acting as a'body through
their agent the Government, wish individu
als to lend them two hundred millions of
dollars for three years at seven and three
tenths per cent, annual 'interest, payable
every six months. For this they offer
Treasury Notes that is, in reality, notes
drawn and endorsed by eveTf rnan 'in 'the
country. The load is wanted for a great
national purpose, to effect which . every
man, unless he be a traitor at heart if not
in act, is solemnly pledged.
The Appeal is addressed not merely to a
few great capitalists, but also Jo the many
whose aggregate means constitute the mass
of the wealth of the land. The notes up
on which this loan is asked are from $50
upward. Every man who has fifty dollars
can take part in this loan. Apart from pa
triotism and the duty which all owe to their
country,'no investmerit i so desirable as
this.
It is secure. Etfery dollar of every
maa's property is pledged for the punctual
payment of the interest, and of the debt
when doe. The security is increasing io
value. For some years before the war we
were earning 1000 millions a year more
than we spent. During the three years of
tbe war, owing to the high prices and con
stant demand for labor, we have earned
more than ever before No man who conld
or would Work has been idle; and, except
for the war, we have spent-less than before.
The total valuation of the property of the
United States; according to the censes of
160, was 816 159,000,000, of which S10,
957,448.956 was in the Loyal States. This
valuation, according to the usual rule of
assessment, was not more than two-thirds
of the actual cash value of the property.
The increase of property in the Loyal States
during the last ten years was over 126 per
cent., or an average of 12 6-10 per cent,
per annum. In three years of the war we
of the United Stales have certaialy earned
3o0O millions more than we have spent
apart from the war. The cost of the war
may be set down at 2000 millions. De
ducting this from our net earnings, the Peo
ple who are security for this loan are 1000
millions richer to day than thty were
when the war broke out.
No other investment can be so easily
convertible. The man who has a Treasury
note for $50, or 8100, or $1000, can torn it
into money more readi'y, and upon better
terms, than if it were invested upon bead
and mortgage, or in railroad stocks.
The interest offered is higher than can be
realized from any ofhet safe and convertible
investment. It is, moreover, readily col'
lected when due. Tovachnote are affix
ed five "coupons," or interest tickets, due at
the expiration of each successive half-year.
The holder of a note has simply to cut off
one of these coupons, present it at tbe
nearest bank or Government Agency, and
receive his interest ; the note itself need
not be presented at all. Or a coupon thus
payable will vvery where be equivalent,
when due, tb money.
Thus, while this loan presents great ad
vantages to large capitalists, it offers spe
cial inducements to those who wish to
make a safe and profitable investment of
smsll saving. It is in every way the best
Savings' Bank ; for every institution of this
kind must somehow invest its deposits
profitably in order to pay interest and ex
penses. They will invest largely in this
loan, as the best investment. But from tbe
grass interest which they receive they must
deduct largely lor the expense of the
Bank. Their usual rate of interest allowed
to depositors is five per cent, upon sums
over $500. The person who invests di
rectly with Government will receive al
most 50 per cent. more. Thus tbe man
who deposits 81000 in a private Savings'
Bank receives SO dollars a year interest;
if be deposits the same sum in this Nation
al Savings' Bank he receives 73 dollars.
For those who wish to find a safe, conve
nient, and profitable means ol investing
the surplus earnings which .they have re
served for their old age or for the benefit of
their children, there is nothing which pre
sents so many advantages as this National
Loan.
It is convertible inte a six percent, gold
bearing bond. At the expiration of three
years a holder of the notes of the 7.30 loan
has the option of accepting payment in full
or of funding his notes in a six per cent,
gold interest bond, the principle payable in
not less than five nor more than twenty
years from its date as the Government
may elect. For six months past, these
bonds have ranged at an average premium
of about eight per cent, in the New York
market, and have 6old at 109 to-day (Aug.
12th), thus making the real rate of interest
over ten per cent.; and besides, to make
the inducement even greater, Congress by
special act exempts its Treasury notes from
Sute and mucicipal taxation. Could Shy
lock ask more? Was patriotism ever so
liberally rewarded ? Ihrper's Magazine;

It has been about ten days since General
Sherman began a movement, moch of which
is still involved in mystery. One corps of
Lis army, under General "Slocum, was left
in tbe trenches ib front of Alfanta. The
remainder'wffs gradually withdrawa, form
ed into a long column on the wuth bank of
the Chattahoochee, and slowly marched
down the river. Parallel to the river, and
about eight miles south ef it, is tbe Mbrit
gomery Railroad. East Point is' eight miles
southwest of Atlanta; Red Oak twenty
miles,and Fairborn twenty-five miles sooth
west. At East Point the Macon 'Railroad
begins. It runs sooth to Jouesboro'; and
then southeast. Jonesboro' is twenty miles
from Atlanta. But very littte intelligence
of Sherman's movement was transmitted
North, lor during almost all the time since
it began Wheeler had the railroad and tel
egraph to Nashville cut, and there was no
communication.
Sherman marched his column don the
river until the rear reached Sandtown, ten
miles west of Ajlanta. He then swung the
head of it around towards the effsl until it
struck the Montgomery Railroad at Fair
burn. From Fairborn a raiding party was
sent across the country to Jonesboro', on
the Macon Railroad. The road was cut,
but no very large force of the enemy found.
Oa August 28rh General Hood telegraphed
to Richmond that Sherman's line extended
from Sandtown to Fairborn, thus being
southwest of the city, aud Hood at once be
gan moving his army to-meet the Federal
advance. Sherman's southern flank march
ed unepposed op'the Montgomery Railroaa
from Fairborn towards Atlanta until he
reached Red Oak, twenty miles from the
city. Here tbe Confederates, met the troops
and they halted. Sherman's southern flank
was then marched southeast from Sandtown
towards East Point, eight miles from Atlan
ta. On Tuesday last, August ?0th, Sher
man' line extended from Red Oak north
east along the railroad towards East Point,
and his northern flank was pressing towards
East Point from the direction of Sandtown.
Hood, finding the enemy southwest o
him, at once abandoned Atlanta, and gave
Sherman battle. A contest began on Tues
day afternoon along the Montgomery Rail
Toad from Red Oak to East Point, a distance
of twelve miles. Slocum, who had been
left with one corps in front of Atlanta, be
gan to feel the enemy in front of him. He
found the city abandoned, and oB Friday
morning entered it. He at once announced
the evacuation of the town,and bya strange
coincidence Wheeler was off the railroad
to Nashville just long enough to allow of
the despatch being sent. Scarcely hid it
gone when Wheeler again cot the tele
graph, and a veil once more hid ShermanV
! operations. Slocum, having the enemy be
tween him and Sherman's main body, co'd
not tell what was transpiring at East Paint.
He knew a battle was being fought, fcr he
heard the cannon, but that was all. Up to
Sunday morning this was all the intelligence
sent us.
This morning, h-cwever, we lave later
intelligence. Last evening the telegraph
was re-opened and a dispatch from Sher
man himself received. The enemy on
Tuesday, had not fought him very despe
rately, but gradually retreated across the
country towards Jonesboro'. Sherman fol
lowed them. He brought his entire army
south of the Montgomery Railroad, and by
Thursday had arrived within a mile of
Jonesboro'. Here he found the enemy in
trenched. They sent out a reconnoissance,
which was soon repulsed, and Sherman
made his arrangements for an attack. The
Confederates by this time had retreated
from Atlanta, and were djawn up in line
on the Macon Railroad. Their southern
flank was at Jonesboro'; their northern
flack at Rough and Ready, a village thir
teen miles from Atlanta. In front of their
position Flint River flowed, and the hills
on its eastern side were intrenched. It
was this position which Sherman attacked
on Thursday afternoon. He carried .he
Confederate works at Jonesboro', capturing
ten cannon and one thousand prisoners.
Hood blew up his works in evacuating
Atlanta, and destroyed some trains loaded
with ammunition. The spoils secured ly
Slocum were fourteen cannon and the ruins
of thedestroyed trains. When the works
at Jonesboro' were carried, Hood abandon
ed his line on Flint River, and by a hasty
march to thesouthwert moved the portion
of bis army which bad been north of Jones
boro' to the east of tbe place. He then re
treated with all bii forces to Love joy's six
miles sonthwest of Jonesboro' on tbe rail
road . Here be look a new position. Sher
man's losses were twelve hundred Fif
teen hundred Confederate prisoners and
twenty-four cannon were captured. Sher
man writes to Stanton "bis army deeds
rest," and does not seem to intend an at
tack upon the new Confederate position.
