The human mind has never had to grasp

which now look formidable to us may
disappear as he approaches them. The
wisest thing that the convention can do
will be to enunciate clearly a few sim

Chicago Convention.
:Wes - Understand that the Parlors of the
trerriont House, Chicago, have been
engaged for the Headquarters of the
Pennsylvania Delegation.
NO ARMISTICE.
The leading New England Abolition
ists, hearing the report of an armistice
being: in contemplation by the Admin.
sstration, determined by all means to
crush .it at once; Senator WitsoN of
Massachusetts was, accordingly, dis
patched to Washington, to inform Mr.
LINCOLN that no cessation of hostilities
would be permitted. Having carried
hie poiht, Wtr,sox came out in april,
-which we received yesterday by'tele
graph, informing tam country that no
public man connected with the Admin
istration is in favor of an armistice;" his
note, concludes by saying:
"I personally know that President Luicoi.N.
and all the members of his Cabinet have un•
doubted faith in the success of our armies, and
the complete triumph of our cause, and with
this belief, they will pursue the most vigorous
measures to raise mouey and men to carry on
the war."
We never for a moment heeded the
report that Mr. LINCOLN was favorable
to a cessation of hostilities, even for a
day; in no single instance has he ever
expressed such a desire. But even if he
were, the powerful New England Aboli
tion contractors and manufacturers,
who are literally coining money off the
profits of the , war, would not permit
him to say so. New England, without
feeling any of the hardships produced
by the war, is every day it lasts growing
richer by it. She fills her quotas for the
army with purchased negroes and foreign
ers, and, at the same time does more
blastingabont her representatives in the
service, than the balance of the country
beside. Senator WILSON'S statement
may therefore, be taken as authori tati ve,
that no man connected with the Ad
ministration
- is favorable to a cessation
of hostilities." Not only this, but Pres
ident LINCOLN has taken care that the
rebels shall offer no armistice, no matter
how anxious they may be to do so. His
note "to whomit may concern" closed
the door-to all negotiations for peace;
when he declared that the rebels must
lay down their arms, disband their ar
mies and abandon slavery, before he
would even ltsten to offers of peace and
Union, he; announced a determination
uron which he has been acting for two
years at least. For:two years Mr. LlN
cotsr has made everything bend to
what. Messrs. WADE and DAVIS style
his "personal ambition." He has pro
longed the war for this purpose, and hp
has created bogus governments in some
of the rebel States, in order to control
their electoral votes in the coming elec
tion. An armistice and peace would
spoil all his schemes for re-election, and
for this very reason, he will not, under
any circumstances, consent to a cessa
tion of hostilities. A
As for the vigorousprosecution of the
war, which WrLsorr says the Adminis
tration is in faVor of, we have no doubt
of the truth of it whatever. Not only
this, but according to Wagon's state
ment, as chairman of the Senate Milita
ry Committee, that the Administration
had enlisted_ "seven hundred thousand
men since last September,'' it has all
along been prosecuting the War with a
vigcir which is telling awfully upon the
pe9ple. Seven r hue r dred bliousand men,
eiasted in ,seven months, followed by a
draft for , three hundred thousand, and
now another conscription for a half a
million more, is overwhelming evidence
of „the "vigor" of the Administration.
But v Blasi what are. the results of its
bltth'dni;inritigor? In order to damage

Condition of the Potomac Army
The rendition of our army before Pe
trridutig'remarks the Washington Cow
sileulion has been kept as secret as pos
sible, but the special correspondent o
the New York Tribune, under date o
August 11, makes the following terrilik
confessions:
`That there WAS extreme disappointment,and
for a time great depression throughout: the
army, may not be denied—better face the fact.
and better fae., too, the one alarming element
of that fact; that the dlsheartment was alto
gether disproportionate to the calamity which
induced it. Alen asked each other is a simple
repulse, with a loss small compared with that
of half a dozen other days of this campaign,
could now produce such dispiritment, would
not a greater disaster utterly break the power
of the army for Immediate offense] Some reati.
owed thus, who, from their rank, Should, at
least, never expressed such a fear."
Now, says this same writer, this de
pression has been partially removed by
the news from Mobile and elsewhere,
but it is easy to see that but little is to
be expected from an army iu that con
dition. General GRANT scents to have
almost entirely lost both the confidence
and the love of the men under his
command. His diregard of their lives
has been attended with no compensa
tion in the way of success, and longing
for hfcCLEt.t.xx in the army can be
likened, so we-are told, in its intensity,
only to the home sickness of Swis4
mountaineers in exile.

A Conservutive Convention
The Union Conservative National
Convention will be held in the city o
Chicago, 111., on Saturday, the .27th day
of August, at twelve o'clock, noon,under
the auspices crf the "Union Conserva
tive National Committee," of which the
Hon. AMOS KENDALL, of Washington
city, is chairman. The call for this
Convention says:
"All citizens of the United States
who believe 1n the paramount necessity
of abandoning conflicting issues, to se
cure the election of a new administra
tion that will re-unite the Government,
save the country from financial ruin,
and perpetuate our COnstituiional lib
erties, are invited to attend as individ.
unls or by delegations, and participate
in the deliberations and action of the
Convention. The main loisinesa of the
Convention will relate to the nomina
tion and support of candidates for the
nitiee 01 President and Vice President of
the 'United States.—
The members of this Convention are
understood to be ununimomily in favor
of General MCCLELLAN.
An Incorrigible Sinner
The Gazette is determined to believe.
that no peace is possible save that which
brings not only dissolution, but the
basest degradation of the North ; and,
in order to make out its ease, it not only
quotesJACQUES' romance as reliable, but
also some absurdities from some rebel
paper. If our neighbor is willing to
submit to the derision which its course
is sure to bring upon it, we have no ob
jection; but it must not deliberately lie
about this paper, as it does when it states
that we are in favor of a dissolution of
the Union, beside submitting to the hu
miliation and exactions which it says
are to accompany it. Instead of relying
upon JACQUES' story let Mr. LtbiooLii
enter into negotiAtiou and then we shall
know what terms are necessary to secure
peace. Had he done so more than a
year ago, when the rebel Vice-President
wanted to treat with him, the Adminis
tration need not now be trifling with
the people by the publication of JAcquas
fabrications. If the Administration de
sires it can easily find out the terms ne
eessary to secure peace.
Sound and Semdbie
Our neighbor the Commercial, yester
day, in a well considered editorial re
commending the proposal of peace to the
rebels remarks:
"The contest has reached a point when I,he
North can well afford to make the advance— , at
leant to let the Southern people know 'hat the
door of peace is wide open, and that they can
pass through on terms which impose neither
hardship nor /lamination; that If they are not re
stored speedily to the blessed condition of pease,
It is because the desperate tyranny which is
over them, closes the door, and continues the
war in the face of fate.'l
But instead of our Administration do
ing as our contemporary suggests, it
tells the people of the South that no
terms of peace will be ever entertained
until they free their slaves. Instead of
making an "advance" Mr. LIICCOLN ex
presses a determination to impose upon
the Southern people both hardship and
humiliation." He "must, therefore be
got rid of before any negotiations for
peace, can be co menced."
An Armistice—A Convention of all
the States to be Called.
We clip the following from the Pater
son (N.J.) Guardian of Friday evening,
taking the article for what it is worth:
This morning a very large and most
influential delegation of Republicans left
New York for Washington for the pur
pose of advising old Abe to declare an
armistice for six months, and meantime
to call a convention of all the States, on
purpose to discuss and agree upon terms
of peace. Those gentlemen are not
such as have been recognized as peace
men; but they have come to the conclu
sion that the country generally • are sick
of the war, no matter from what cause;
whether it be the manner in which it has
been conducted, or the otijectt now de
claret] to be in view.
With this as an , argument, joined to
the certainty of an overwhelming defeat
next November, they approach the
throne at Washington and demand. that
the armistice be declared, and this • con
vention called.
Old Abe ielipck is this afternoon on a
rise, and whb knows but lie may after
all be the bearer of the peace banner in
the next campaign.

—About three hundred prisonersarrived
from the front to day; some of anim be
longing to Lon , street's corps. Several
hundred head of cattle and horses, cap
tured in the valley, have also reached
this point.
The enemy do not seem inclined to
accept Oen. Sheridan's invitation to
battle on ground of the latter's choosing.
Meanwhile our army is so dispOsed as to
cover the fords of the Upper Potomac,
and the approaches to Harper's Ferry,

IN THE FIELD, SHENANHOATI VALLEY,
Aug. 17.—At this writing the distance
between the two armies is not great.
The scouting parties from each • side
have irequent encounters. Taking in
all the fighting that has occurred from
the time of Early's last retreat and sher
idan's advance to this time, there do not
seem to have been any heavy engage—
ments, or even any particular serious
ones.
General Ayerell last night received
information of the presence of a band
of guerillas in the neighborhood of
Charleston. Ile immediately despatched
a in ounted force to attack them as they
are retained threatening our trains anal
communications between Cedar creek
and I larper's Ferry. This guerilla band
is supposed to have come from: the
neighborhood of London, crossing at
Key's Ferry Gap.
Brigadier General John D. Steven

in Virginia and appointed from Missouri.
Ito was noted during the operations of
the armies under Grant for the reduction
of Vicksburg.

CHARLEsToN, SHENANDOAH VALLEY,
August I:3.—The movements of

the last week may be summed up as, fol.
lows: After pressing Early to the•
heights beyond Strasburg, and pushing
lila main army secure in retreat, with
its rear guard strongly intrenched on
heights commanding the pass, General
Sheridan, hearing that Longstreet was
approaching his rear front beyond. the
Blue Ilidge, finally withdrew on Tries
day night without attempting to dis
lodge the force in front front its position,
and making a swift march night and
(14, has saved this army from being
placed between two tins, as the rebels
intended. A junction of Longstreet's

The march of 11w enemy tlihnigh
W i richest,. r was 5e..,5 ,, 1D a Wu d (*lily
afternoon by an incident not quite so
pleasant to narrate. My brief dispatch
of yesterday announced it. Most of the
armypasaed through Winchester about
noun. (;en. Torbert was left below the
town, with a portion of his cavalry .and
he Jersey brigade of infantry,.6th ('carps,
Colonel Penrose commanding, who act
ed as a rear guard. The enemy followed
chisely, their cavalry stud Breckinridge's
corps in front, and skirmishing commen
ced beyond Winchester at about t
o'clock,. our cavalry being driven in
The enemy's cavalry made several at
tempts ag cast our line during the after
noon, all of which were repulsed. At
o'clock the altar beealHe scriou<, the
,-nemy substituting infantry for cavalry
and that infantry consisting a large
part ill liseckiurdge's sorbs, estimated
at eight thosand strong. To meet this
assault, Colonel Pen rose'a brigade,
eight hundred strong, hauling, the en
tire force of infantry at command, was
deployed in three roads, just beyond a
swill crook below the town, the Front
Royal turnpike, the Strasburg turnpike,
and a dirt road interstcting with the
Strasburg turnpike from the South. A
portion of the Jersey reeiment of dis
mounted cavalry also were formed on
the left: the remaining cavalry, tinder
command of Gen. Torbett were hauled,
it is said, in rear. The enemy calla! on
a little after six o'clock in two lines of
battle. Colonel Penrose had posted his
men behind stone walls, trees, rucks,
and whatever afforded protection, and
niting until the first line of the enemy
had approached to a very short
distance, he poured a well di
rected, deadly fire, which shattered it to
confusion and drove it back. Before his
men could reload, the second line was
upon them with its overwhelming num
hers, overlapping both his flanks, and
firing a terrible volley of musketry and
artillery. The old .lersey brigade, brave
and staunch as it was, could not with
stand the shock; it tell back from its po
sition across the creek, but again re
formed as best it could, and met another
assault, which stove it in and sent it re
treating in every direction. Col. Pen
rose himself, with about two hundred of
his men, escaped on the Martinsburg
pike. One hundred passed through
Winshester, and arrived in camp late
last night, Col. Penrose reached Clif
ton yesterday noon having taken across
road during the nigth. Up to last night
about five hundred men out of eight
hundred had reported for duty.
The 10th New Jersey had not been
heard of, It is supposed that more
escaped, and will be heard front within
a day or two. What part the caYalry
took in this engagement I have not yet
learned. They supported, but ail the
force in Winchester could not hope to
stand against a whole corps.
The army is to-day encamped between
Clifton and Charleston. I can prophecy
nothing as to the prospects of a battle.
The enemy are said to be in very '-arge
force

DURING the last two years the public•
debt of England has been increased two,

Utilizing the Government Horses.
The economical uses to which the
Government army horse is now put,
after having been "mustered out of the
service." Is thus shown by the Washing
ton Republican:
Last year the disabled and condemned
initnals were sold for less than a sone
kPieee t.“ contractors, who, in fact, pur
caused only the hide, took it off, and left
the carcass on Government hands. Then
there was the cost of removing and
burying at some little distance beyond
Srlington Heights. The accumulation
of so much animal matter (one hundred
horses a day at the lowest,) in any lo
cality near the city was a positive evil,
and burying it in the earth in grcat res
ervoirs, a positive waste,
A. few months ago the War Depart
ment made a contract with parties who
utilize the dead horses in such a manner
that they are enabled to pay the Gov
ernment fifty thousand dollars a year
more for the condemned animals, and
save to them fifty thousand collars be
sides, making a, yearly profit to the
United States of one hundred thousand
dollars—sufficient to pay the salaries of
fifteen Major Generals—while making a
handsome profit to themselves on the
operation; and no one would engage in
the process without being reasonably
well paid.
A horse factory has been established
in a secluded spot on the south bank of
the Potomac river, provided with an im
mense steam boiler and the necessary
apparatus for boiling the animal, after
skinning, in an incredibly small space
of time, into such a state that the oil is
separated from the flesh, and the meat
detached from the bones and concentrat
ed, so that when it is taken out and
dried it is easily worked into a powerful
fertilizer, strongly charged as it is with
ammonia.
The bones, too, become articles of
commerce, liable to internal revenue tax.
The shin bones arc sold to per. ons who,
by a newly discovered process, make
them into knife-handles of exquisite
taste and finish, resembling mother of
pearl. The other bones are ground and
manufaetured into phosphate of lime.
The hoisfs are sold to artisans, who
steam them, flatten them out, and make
them into various beautiful articles re
sembling tortois shell, by pressing in hot
moulds, &c. The hides are sold to the
tanners, the hair and the oil become yr
tides of commerce; various parts are
made into glue, and in fact the entire
horse is mime to add to the wealth (if the
country, promoting agriculture, com
merce, and the mechanic arts, and the

One hundred horses and over, per day
are killed upon the wharf and thrown
into the boiling vats of this factory, and
eager purchasers are found for the va
rrou,, articles produced from the disin
tegrated Steed. A commission of sur
geons has inspected the establishment
and rep,ft that not the least unhealtny
vapor ru ises from it—ammonia, which is
the prevailing odor, being entirely sale

Whs a powerful Mall, was getting the

CH C licit STRUCK la LIGIITN [No.— Ter

111., was struck by lightning dur
ing Sunday service recently. The
crash was awful, starting people to their
feet in all parts of the city. The gallery
directly under the steeple was crowded
with people, as was the space beneath,
amt the teriitie fluid poured in among
them. For a moment the whole con
gregation were paralyzed, but on c,m
ing to consciousness a scene occurred
that can be better imagined than describ
el. The density of the smoke led to the
belief that the church was on fire. A
rush was made for the door and win
dows, and had it not been for the time
ly admonitions of the venerable pastor,
who did not lose his presence of mind,
the list of killed and wounded might
have been numbered by hundreds. As
it was, the rush was great the windows I
were broken, and the doors forced off
their hinges by the escaping crowd.
When the terror and excitement had
somewhat abated, the killed and injur
ed were looked after. They were car
ried out into the rain, which soon re
vived those who had een knocked down
and stunned. Nine were killed and
twenty seriously injured.
