ABOLITION CONVENTION TO
* MORBO W.
The delegatee to this unnecessary gath
ering, whose candidates and platform are
so certain of overwhelming rejection by
the people, are arriving in the city, and,
from what we learn, there is likely to be a
BaviJj>e contest for its empty honors. The
guerrillas and bushwhackers are determin
ed to slaughter Oartin, because Cameron
and Forney, and other honest men like
ttem, object to swindling the government
In horse and other contracts. We are not
•ware who it is that Is to expose Curtin’s
alleged-operations, bat presume that it
will be done by some honest and compe
tent peison like Alexander Cummings, the
gentleman o whom Cameron, while Sec
retary of War, entrusted the fingering of
two millions of dollars, and by which he
realised the Bang sum of sixty thousand,
in the way of “commissions.”
'1 he opposition to Curtin is to be led by
the indomitable Thomas Williams, of A 1
legheny. One of the delegates from this
eoucly, we understand, is to give Mr.
W illiams hla place in the convention, in
order that Cartin’s defeat may be ren
dered certain. 'We would suggest to the
convention—in view of the weather and a
close room —that a resolution confining
the speakers to half honr speeches be
adopted immediately after its permanent
organisation. If this is neglected, and
onr highly esteemed fellow-citizen obtains
the floor, the convention will not reach
the first ballot before Saturday evening.
Severs! - f the delegates are personal
c: ours, and we do not wish to
1.-.-, .hem talked to death, a mode of dy
ing we know that they abhor.
A PfIESIDENTIAL TOUR.
It is announced that President Lincoln ;
intends shortly to seek temporary relie
from the cares and anxietieß ot his great
office, by taking a journey through New
England. While in Massachusetts- we
trust that his Excellency will endeavor to
ascertain from Gov, Andrew how it is that
that State is so backward in responding
to the draft. That high Abolition func
tionary, nearly a year ago, informod the
War Department that the people of his
State considered it a heavy draught upon
their patriotism, to enlist for the purpose
of driving rebel invaders from the soil of
Pennsylvania. But he declared that if
the President would but issue an emanci
pation proclamation, the State would
literally swarm with bounding patriots,
eager and determined to crash the rebel
lion and give welcome to the four millions
of en franchised slaves. The President
gave Andrew the desired proclamation,
but where are the swarms of enthusiastic
volunteers furnished by Gov. Andrew ?
And where are the “ nine hundred thous
and ” promised upon the same occasion
add conditions,by Horace Greeley 7 The
President fulfilled his part of tho bargain,
by issuing his “ bull against the comet,”
but bow have the Abolition leaders res
ponded ? Their response is a corscrip
tion law to fill the army with nnwilliDg
soldiers, to fight, not for the restoration
of the Union, but to effect what the ball
against the comet has failed to accomplish
—the emancipation of the Sontbern slaves.
This, we are now told by the leading Rad
icals, is the object of the war.
If the President himself has not yet ful
ly arrived at this determination, we think
bis coining visit to New England will se
cure his hearty co operation. He is
yielding in bis disposition, and after co
miogling with the fierce fanatics of the ex
treme East, and listening to the daring
rhetoric of Wendei Phillips, and the clas
sic plagerism of Charles Sumner, he will,
doubtless, return to Washington, fally
indoctrinated in all the radical plans. We
will then see a Chief Magistrate, who,
open the day of bis inauguration, declared
bis sole ausiety was for the preservation
of bis country —that he had no power or de •
fire to interfere with the local institutions
of the States—the willing instrument of
jgn extreme class of anti-slaveiy agitators,
whose object was and is the disruption of
this Union, and whose principal champions
are now advocating not only negro equal
ity, bat amalgamation. Bat, before the
President starts upon his proposed tonr,
to receive fresh inspiration from the lead
ing radicals, be should regale himself by
the careful perusal of a work recently pub
lished, containing Phillips’ Speeches. In
one of them, delivered in 1856, he said:
“ There is merit in the Republican party.
It is tho first sectional party ever organ
ized in this country. It is the North ar
rayed against the South. The first crack
in the iceberg is visible. You will tet
UA3 IT SO WITH A CRASH THROUGH IHS
OSHTREI”
Now be declares his work as an Aboli
tionist is done, because the Union is gone;
hereafter bis efforts will be devoted to the
amalgamation of white people with hia
emancipated slaves.
THE ESCAPE OP GEN. LEE
A Washington correspondent of the
Boston Commonwealth says: 11 The escape
of Lee from the nervelest grasp of the
Army of the Potomac, is still, of course,
the theme of all tongnea in the capital'
It need hardly be said that on all hands
, it.ls regarded as the greatest blunder of . the
sear. istioh, indeed, were the preciseioords
‘ The Vice JPrestdent was' more emphatic;
afid in the heit of the excitement onhhe
ground, be declared that this alone threw
the war into another year.

Thus has this great soldier put the- finish

EXPLOSIVE MUSKET BALL.
A letter from the Southern army Baye,
that in skirmishing, which preceded the
evacuation of Jackson by Johnston, the
rebels used an explosive musket ball cf
the most destructive and barbarous char
acter. These balls are of the Minie pat
tern, sixty-nine calibre and filled with ful
minuting powder, covered at the base with
a cap. On striking any object they ex
plode with a terrible effect. One of these
terrible missies struck one of our men in
the leg, shattering tho bone into nineteen
pieces. The effect of the wound ot a
simple Minie ball is always considered ol
a dangerous character, but the new ball
above described is positively barbarouß.
The new balls are of English fabrication
and have recently been furnished to John.
Bton’s army.
SECRETARY tTANTON HOIS
TED BY HIS OWN PETARD.
Secretary Stanton said the other day,
“If a single regiment of Lee’s army gets
back into Virginia, in an organized condi
tion, it will prove that I am totally unfit
to be Secretary of War.”
If this is not “treason,” says the Boston
Courier, according to the republican
standard, we are at a loss wbat to make of
it. It is casting odium upon the govern
ment, in the perßon ol the actually osten
sible manager of the war. In a democrat
ic newspaper, there would bo no doubt it
would be reckoned treason, secession,
complicity with Jefferson Davis ; in a
word, everything hideous to contemplate
that is, would be so designated by repub
licana. Still, as facts prove, by every
principle of logic, the “Amen’' of the
Springfield paper is entitled to a universal
echo.
Massachusetts Conscript Camps.
The subjoined account of a visit to the
camp of the Massachusetts conscripts at
Long Island is from the Boston Tra r ;!!n-
There are now nearly rive hundred ton
scripts and substitutes in the camp at l.oi g
Island, About eighty were sent lu vr.mp
yesterday. The last boat took down six
teen from Lawrence and six from the
Fonrth district.. Among the latter was a
Btout colored man, who went as substitute
for another colored man. He hud been
trying for several days to get such a chance,
and he thought he was well paid when he
received $55 from his principal. He says
he is bound to fight, and necept the first
chance to get into service. As the con
scripts are received they are formed into
a provisional regiment, which is in com
mand of Colonel Pierce. Provisional
companies are also organized, to which a
proper complement ot officers are assign
ed. From some of the regiments to which
officers named above belong, Bix privates
have been detailed and sent here, and
these, with a detachment of the UBih
Ohio, constitute the principal gaard upon
the island. A few of the conscripts have
been intrusted with that doty and it is
probable that some of those who seem
most trustworthy will be selected to re
main at theisland as a permanent guard for
the camp. On Monday night there were
several attempts of conscripts to escape,
and one party of two or three succeeded
in getting off the island, although fired
upon by the guard. The body ot one man
is reported to have washed ashore yester
day morning. He was probably drowned
in attempting to escape. Yesterday a dis
patch was received from Adjutant General
Townsend, at Washington, directing that
the men in camp be Bent forward as soon
as possible,and it is probable that a steam
er load will go from the island this week.
There are some six or eight colored mes
among the oonsoripts. These are employ
ed principally upon the wharf, as they
manifest no disposition to desert. One
of them was taken as a substitute for a
white man, pud he says he shall be treat
ed like a white man, and go into a white
regiment; that if sent to a colored regi
ment he shall cut his own throat.
Adventnre of a Slassnchneetts Ofllrlul
Among ilie AnU-Drafi«rt.
[From the Boston Traveller.)
A well known official of this state took
a trip to Vermont and New Hampshire
the ether day, traveling in a carriage with
his wife. He waa in New Hampshire
abont the time of the riots in New York
andßoßton, and heard frequent threats of
resistance to the draft there, In some
places the excitement .was so great that
there Beemed to be danger of immediate
violenoe. In passing from Plymouth to
Center Harbor he came to the foot of a
very long bill, and looking np he saw what
appeared to bo cannon, posted on each
aiue ot the way, near the summit, in a
position to rake the road for a long
distance. He examined them aa
closely as possible, but the more he looked
the more they appeared like cannon. —
This impression was strengthened in a
short time by the hoisting of a blaok flag
near one of the guns. Sure enough, he
thought, the Copperheads are preparing
for resistance, and no doubt suspected
him of a connection with the draft. Bat
he had gone too far to back out, and trust
ing to his ability to prove his Character us
a peaceable traveler, he drove steadily up
the hill. As he neared the top he noticed
the gleam of two or three rifles in (he
bushes at the side of the road. Suddenly
he was ordered by a rongh voioe to halt,
and he obeyed the command. He was
asked to surrender, &Dd he replied that
he surrendered unconditionally, although
he had a mental reservation that he would
on the first opportunity protest against
such treatment. Several men then rush
ed out of the bushes, audas they approach
ed the carriage he recogniznd them as
neighbors and friends from home. They
were on the way to the moantains on foot
and bearing that he was coming that way
had prepared this surprise for him. The
oannon were “ burnt logs, 1 ' the black flag
was the neckerchief of one of their nnmberi
the rifles were those .taken along to shoot
any gamo they might find. After an inter
change of news the traveler was permitted
to go on hiß.way, but not until he had di
vided with them the contents of his last
whisky bottle.
Adelina Patti, it is said, demands $6OO
a night for her next engagement at Paris,
and the. new manager, M. Bagier, does not
appear to be willing to make so heavy a
contract. There is not much doubt,
however, but that the affair will be ar
ranged, y ■ .•■ -
It is suggested that Capt. Cotta, who
has been discharged from service because
he looked at a lady through a keyhole,
while she was dressing, must be some re
lation to the Peak family.

THE SEQUEL OF EMAWCIPA
TION. <*■'
Number XX.Y
To Ills Excellency Abraliam Lincoln.
President of the Fulled States: -
Sir : Before we go any -further in the
work of emancipation, we ought tostudy
-how it is to he finished up, 1 - end what is
to follow it. Vou know, it was easy for
the old Northern States to dispose of the
freodmenwhich'their acts of emancipation
produced, because they were very few, and
became at once subject to onr laws. Yon
know also that-it cost onr ancestors sev
eral centuries oi growth before they be
came free from the bonds of feudal servi
tude, and were enabled to fit their man
ners, customs, laws and institutions to the
condition of freemen.- Great and sudden
popular changes bring inextricable disor
ders and incalculable sufferings, and never
can be permanent. A man may possibly
be civilized in a life-time, but for a nation
It requires a nation’slite-time. Remomber
the more than a oentury’s disorder that
grew out of the suddenness of the Reforma-
tion, and yet the chief organic change
in that case was the rejection of the gov
ernment of religion by popes, bishops and
priests, and its subjection to that of kings,
princes and burgomasters. Where all
the old authorities were rejected, and an
entire new organization attempted, his
tory reveals the wars, disorders, corrup
tion and cruelties of an unbridled fanati
cism, eurh as that of the Anabaptists.
Franoe, >,t its revolntion, caßt off all its
old inr-ci,tions, and it had to bear the
penalty .. i a quarter of a century of war,
beforo came to order, and its order is
not quilt euro yet, after three-quarters of
a centiny.
I beg -you to study the the case of the
proposed and completed sodden emanci
pation of tho slaves of St. Domingo. It
gave rise to a general masßacre of the
white race, accompanied by such circnm
stnnces ot horror as the world has seldom
witnessed. That yon may recall it to your
mied, i annex Mr. Allison’s account of it,
tßken from his History of Europe, Vol. 1.
Ttie horrible barbarity of that event would
be more intensely felt, if it were described
with more detail. The histories of Greece
and Romo relate other servile insurrec
tions, attended with similar massacres.
But suppose tho slaves all emanci
pated ; what will you do with them ?
They will have no land, no money, no
property of any kin-i. No doubt the Abo
litionists will say that the land of their
masters ought to be divided among them,
because they cleared and cultivated it,
and made all the wealth their masters
possess, and have been unjustly deprived
of their proper wages. That is their dor
trior. But it you carry it out it.will ap
ply evervwhete ; for it is just us true that
the laboring poor every where have made
the wealth which the rich posEi-sn, and
theroior .t also ought to be divided among
the poor. This doctrine of course sots
aside all '.he ordinary rules ot justice,
supprcjcoa all the ordinary distinction*
b- f.ve.-n merit and demerit, and if appliey
ia practice would bring us back toanaichd
and barbarism. Afi’hr if anywhere, and
Km prepare its application everywhere.
And yet this is the doctrine hat is to be
urged when emancipation comes ; confis
cation is to open the way for it. Theo
retic levellers are always ready for such
social schemes ; for they know that it is
nut the leaders that suffer fq- the failure
cr them, while they leave the poor always
poorer. And how is the division to be
made.’ Then comes the time of plunder,
fraud and oil forms of corruption by Gov
ernment officials. ou can have no de
cent man to eDgage in such a work, and
the bad ones that Jo engage can only be
made worse by it, though they may make
princely fortunes. The bribery, fraud
and favoritism of such an immense job
would be enough to sink any nation many
degrees and throw it back some ages in the
scale of civilization.
But suppose you simply set them free
and lei them have tree labor for their liv
ing. Any thoughtful man can see that it
will be several generations before they can
arauiro the now manners and customs by
which all social improvement commences,
an.l'on which all social progress depends.
In the meantime poverty, distress, pau
perism and crime will be the lot of moet
of them And the principle ot abolition
will still live, and will demand political
remedies for moral ills. It will continue
to urge that the black man is the equal o(
the white, and ought to be treated as so
cially and politically equal; and it will agi
tate until it will excite hatred and war be
tween the two races, and until one or the
other is subjugated. Dear Sir, condescend
to look a little at the history of the world,
and learn some leßsots from it. Never
did two races, even of the same color, live
together on the same soil without one be
ing at first subject to the other. They
could not have order otherwise.
But the Abolitionists will say that the
wnites and blacks ought to live together
on terms of social and political equality,
and therefore they must do so, Who says
mustl If Cod says.so, he will bring it
about in his own good time and way. —
He took five hundred years to bring abont
such an equality between onr Norman and
Saxon ancestors, thongh they were all of
one color; and I do not complain of his
delay. The present generation of white
men inherit countless nlessings from that
old feudal vassalage. This was one of
God’s ways of Baying must to his creatures,
who are not born perfect; but whom he
intends to grow townrds perfection, and I
have not yet discovered that Abolitionists,
(socialict , Fonrierites and Owenites have
louud cut any shorter way of growing.
But Aboliuonieta will not listen to the
reason whioh experience gives. Fanatics
always try to spread their doctrines by
lorce. Social and political agitation and
organization, and not natural and spiri
tual growth, is their method of curing
social defects. When moral teaching
fails of sadden results, the; become impa
tient, and resort to the force of political
machinery, and the last state of tueir fol
lowers is worse than the first. Yet they
will Insist on the actual equality of the
two races, however different their man
ners and customs, and moral and intellec
tual training. This may be all well enough
for the lenders, who ride upon the tempest
and have all the bouors and profit ot di
reeling the storm They admit for them
selves only a theoretical equality, while
they, in; different degrees, manage to as
sume an actual supremacy. On this con
dition, they will require all other white
men to admit the Bocial and political
equality of the blacks. However much this
offends the faith and the feelings ol the
poor and humble white man, he mast
submit, and come down to what
he believes to, be. The degradation
of the negro. Of course lie mnst feel him
self degraded and will actually be so, and
become more and more so, and with ab
olition leaders, he will soon find himself
despised and trampled on by the negro.—
Social standards of worth and position are
settled rather by sentiment than by logic.
These views tell you why the poor men
in the South are banded together with so
much unanimity and zeal in favor of the
rebellion, thongh they own no slaves. —
They have more interest in the matter
than their rich neighbors with hundreds
of slaves; because the rioh can always
maintain themselves above the negro, at
least in eocial position; . but the poor may
be constrained to accept the negroes as
their associates and equals, And here
i alsois the danger ofthe poor man of-the
North. We shall have an ' inundation of
negroes upon ns, and then the smart and
comfortable abolitionists will renew the
war of equality here, because it will add
to their power by giving;’ them more
followers. dj,

AQd-enchqiereonß have no social chance
to rise until abolitionism shall succeed,
and the negro and mulafto become the
superior race. In this contest abolition
ram can have no consideration for the poor
white man. who, in an orderly way, takes
society as it " is, and strives to grow np,
by_hia own industry and merits, to a po
sition equal to that which industry and
merit have given to others. Abolitionism
requires that he shall first come down to

THE EE VOLT OF EEQE3ES IN
BT. HOBIINGO.
From Allison's History of Europe.
The Blaves iu that flourishing colony,
agitated by the intelligence which they re
ceived of the levelling principles ot the
Constitutional ABBembiy (of France,) had
early manifested symptoms of insubordi
nation. The assembly, divided between
the desire of enfranchising bo large a body
of men, and the evident dangers of snch a
step, had longheeitated on the course they
should adopt, and were inclined to sup
port the rights ot the planters. But the
passions of the negroes were excited by
the efforts of a society styled ‘ *The Society
ot Friends of the Blacks/’ of which Bris
sot was the leading memoer ; and the mu
| lattoes were induced by their injudicious
| advice to organize an insurrection. They
trusted they would be able to control the
ferocity ot the slaves, even during the
heat ot a revolt; they little knew the dis
simulation and cruelty ot the savage char
acter. A universal r&volt was planned
and organized, without the slightest sue
picioa on the port ot the planters, and the
same night fixed upon for its breaking out
over the whole island.
At length, at midnight-on the 80th of
October, 1791, the insurrection Lroko
forth. In an instant 1,200 coffee and 200
sugar plantations were in flames, the build
ings, the machinery, the farm offices re
duced to ashes —the unfortunate proprie
tors hunted down,mnrd.red or thrown into
the flames by the inluriatod negroes. The
horrors ol a servile war universally ap
peared. The unchained African signaliz
ed -his ingenuity by the discovery of new
and unheard of modes of torture. An un
happy planter was sawed asunder between
two boards, the horrors inflicted on the
women exceeded any thing known even in
the annals of Christian ferocity. The in*
dulgent master was sacrificed equally
with the inhumane; in all alike, young
and old, rich and poor, the wrongs of an
oppressed race were indiscriminately
wreaked. Crowds of slaves traversed the
country with the heads cd white children
uffixed on their pikes; they served as the
otandarcts of their ferochns assemblages
In a few inetauces only the humanity ot
the negro character resisted the savage
contagion of the time; and some faithful
slaves, at the ha/:ud ot their lives, fed in ;
caves their makers or their children,
whom they bad rescued from destruction.
The intelligence of these disasters ex
cited an angry aiscueaion in the Assembly.
Brissot, the most vehement opponent of
slavery, ascribed them all to the refusal of
the blessings of freedom to the negro :
the moderate members to the inflamma
tory addresses circulated among them by
the Anti-slavory Society of Paris. Af
length it was agreeifid , ’CDncede the politi
cal rights for which they had con'enaed to
the men of color; and in consequence of
that resolution. St. Domingo obtuinedThe
nominal blessings ot freedom. Bat it is
not thns lha* the great changes of nature
are conducted : a child dues not acquire
the strength ot manhood in an hour, or
a tree the consistency of the hardy deni
zens of the fore-t in a season. The
hasty philanthropist*, who conferred npon
an ignorant slave population the precipi
tate gift of freedom, did them a greater
injary than their worst enemies. The
! black population remains to thin day in
St. Domingo a memorable example of the
ruinous effect of precipitato emancipa
tion. Without the steady habits of civil
ized fnciety: ignorant of tbo wonts that
reconcile to a life of labor: destitute of
the support which ft regular government
might have afforded, they have brought to
the duties ol cultivated, the habits of a
savage life, lo the indolence of the
negro character, they have joiued the
vices of European corruption. Profli
gate, idle and disorderly, they have
declined both in numbers and in hap
pinesß; from being the greatest sugar
plantation in the world, tne island has
been redoced to the necessity of import
log that valuable product, and the inhab
itants, naked and voluptuous, are fast re
ceding into the state of nature from which
their ancestors were torn two centuries
ago, by the rapachy ol ChrUtain averice.
Time adds that things have begun to
improve there, since the negroes have
been subjected to pe-Hiiea! slavery —an
imperial despotism.

Rebel Force at Savannah.
REEL PBEPAIATIOSS AT CHARLESTON.
New York, August 3.—The Herald’s
Washington dispatch gives the following
details of the fight on Saturday : Buford’s
cavalry crossed the Rappahannock Ford
at 9 o’clock yesterday morning. Our
force was composed of the following cav
alry regiments: Bth New York, 3d Vir
ginia, 3d United States, 6th Pennsylvania,
6th United States, Ist United States, 9th
New York, Bth Illinois and 17th Pennsyl
vania. The crossing was about a half
mile above the railroad station, and the
object of the expedition was to ascertain
the exact position of the enemy on the
railroad line towards Culpepper, and the
amount of force they had disposed to dis
pute any crossing which we might attempt.
The enemy’s cavalry was encountered
half a mile from the ford. It was a por
tion of Stuart’s cavalry, and consisted of
Jones’ and Hampton’s brigades, with the
following regiments, the Ist and 2d South
Carolina Cobb’s Georgia Legion, and Jef
ferson Davis Legion. Our cavalry drove
the enemy gradually without any Bevere
fighting until a point was reached about
one mile and a half this side of Culpepper,
when the enemy’s cavalry fell back on
their infantry supports. We were then
obliged to retire after a brisk fight with
both their infantry and cavalry. The reb
els outnumbering us two to one after they
had fallen back to a point where their in
fantry supports came to their assistance.
Our loss in the fight near Culpepper,
which was the most important, was a few
killed and sixty-six wounded. 'The latter
arrired here, and are in the Douglass
Hospital. Our cavalry forces only retir
ed a mile and a half after they were at
tacked by the combined forces of the ene
my’s Infantry and cavalry, and held .the
enemy at bay there.
We took about one hundred prisoners.
Some of their wounded are in our hands,
and have arrived here. Rebel prisoners
in our bands say that many of their dead
lay upon the field, near Culpepper, and
their loss equals ours. Our cavalry under
Buford made three successive charges on
the enemy.
A corps of infantry crossed the Rap
pahannodk and was in position to render
Bufurd effective support. According to
the statement of one of our most intelli
gent prisoners here, the rebel force is so
much scattered along numerous fords'on
the Rappahannock, watching our move
ments, that no general engagement is im-
minent at present, Per contra , our Union
wounded in yesterday’s fight think quite
the contrary, though in everything else,
the wounded on both sides agree pre
cisely.
About ten days ago some of Col. Baker’s
detective-force arrested at Brentsville a
party en route for Richmond, upon whom
was found some very important do lumeats
from this city, addressed to Jeff. Davis
as President of the Confederate States. —
Among them were accurate maps of all'
our fortifications and defences of this city,
and a description of the character of the
workß, the number of guns in each, and
the strength of their garrison; also a
statement that the rolls would be forward
ed by a different channel. It is not known
what rolls were alluded to. The docu
ments were filed in the War Department,
and the matter is still under investiga
tion.
About midnight last night a fire was
communicated to the hay m the govern
ment sheds and the ice houses near the
monument by an incendiary. Abont for
ty-fire bales of hay and one thousand tons
of ioe were destroyed. The fire extended
to the adjacent Btables. All movable pro
perty, including horseß, was saved. The
progress of the fire was arrested by palling
down portions of the bnidings.
Nkw 1 oss, August 3.—The Port Roy
al Free South says that Savannah is de
serted of troops. Several regiments had
been sent to the relief of Vicksburg be
fore our Charleston demonstration, and
since the latter went, three regiments of
infantry and Col. Anderson’s artillery,
numbering twenty-four brass twelve poun
ders, have been sent via Augusta to
Charleston, leaving for the defence of the
city but nine hundred men, cavalry, and
three hundred infantry and a battery of
artillery. All the extensive batteries and
fortifications, before mentioned, are for
this reason only picketed and not garri
soned.
New i ore, August 3.— A private letter
received in this city, dated Morris Island,
July -Uth, Bays : I went yesterday to Black
island and made a reoonnoissance from
the tallest tree there. I saw from my ele
vated position that the rebels were erect
ing a line ot batteries and building rifle
Jits almost the entire distance from Fort
ohnson to Secessionville.along the river.
Black Island is between James and Morris
Islands; distant from the former a thou
sand yards. '
Washington, August 3.—The draft for
the district of Colnmhia oommenced this
morning. A large crowd was in attend
ance, bat it was remarkably orderly. In
tense interest was everywhere manifested.
St. l.oi'is, Aug. 3.—Maj. Qeu. Blairand
several of his staff arrived last night from
Vicksburg. He was largely welcomed by
a large number of his friends and admi
rers.
