Tlic Cliicago Convention. The great National Convention is over, and its glorious result is now known throu-h the length ami breadtli of tho land. The aged wisdom of the United States were there men who were promi nent in the days of General Jackson, an.l lis confidential friends and co-laborers. Although many of them were borne down by the weight of years, their intellects and patriotism were fresh and vigorous still. Among whom we observed Amos Ken dall, Vicli liffe, and others who had at tained the honor of a seat in General Jackson's cabinet and in other succeeding Democratic cabinets years gone by. Many of that class were there, working vigor ously for the restoration of a ruined coun try harmonizing by their precept and ex ample the slightest indication of any tiling calculated to disturb the harmony of that vast assembly. There were also there, the young and vigorous, the brilliant and shining from all the Northern and Uorder States of the Union, all actuated in their labor by the same natriotic motive. Such men as Horatio Seymour, Vallandigham, Voor bees, Long, I Ian is, men known through out the country, after sustainincr their opinions powerfully, yielded them grace fully to the enthusiastic majority. Under such a state of affairs when such harmony prevailSjthere is every reason to believe that our shattered and bleeding country may yet survive, and may in a short time become as it heretofore promised to be the pride and boast of the governmental policy of the world. Our distinguished neighbor William Iiigler was made temporary President, the Convention being called to order by Au gust Helmont, of New York, the Chair man of the Democratic National Com mittee. Governor Higler sustained his own and the reputation of his State by a sound speech and by performing his duty as if he understood it. Governor Seymour was made President of the Convention, ami we believe it was a most lucky selection. His dignified, manly presence added to hi great Nation al reputation gave him a very command ing influence in that Convention. We must not omit to remark that Vallandig ham did as much as any man there to bring about a perfect reconciliation among the extremity of opinions uttered there. I lis whole demeanor was conciliatory and unselfish, and we doubt not, his exertions at that Convention will be long remem bered by the patriots of tS'lfbody. After the permanent organization wa3 effected, and committees were appointed, the way seemed smooth and easy. The leading spirits of the committee on the platform were Tilden, of New York, Guthrie, of Kentucky, and Vallandighani, of Ohio. They got it adjusted after long interchange of opinions and comparison of conflicting view?, they brought it into the Convention, and it was reported by Mr. Guthrie on the second day of the Convention, he being appointed Chairman of the Com mittee on Platform. It was reported and commanded uni versal applause. Its patriotic conciliatory enunciation of principles, commanded the esteem and regard of all the Democrats present, and all the Union loving conser vatives, no matter what their political pre dictions were heretofore can stand on it without a murmur of disapprobation. The Hlack Kepubhcans are not well pleased with it, nor should they as it -was not made to please them or promote their success. It was made for the Democra tic party and for the good of the whole country, and was believed to be a docu ment well calculated to inspire with hope all those who had the success of their country at heart. On the third day the Convention pre pared to ballot for President and on the first ballot George P. M'Clellan was nominated, having got more than two thirds of all the States in the Union at the present time Immediately Mr. Val landighani moved that his nomination should be made unanimous which was forthwith done, and then the cheering and shouting was tremendous. Several gen tlemen were then put in nomination for the Vice-Presidency, among whom were, George II. Pendleton, of Ohio, D. W. Voorhces, of Indiana, George W. Cass, of Pennsylvania, James Guthrie, of Ken tucky, Augustus Dodge, of Iowa, James D. Caton, of Illinois, Governor Powell, of Kentucky, and John S. Phelps, of Missouri, and on the second ballot, all tho other candidates were withdrawn and George II. Pendleton was declared unani mously nominated. That gentleman was then loudly called on, and made a neat, appropriate speech to the' Convention, thanking them for the honor they had conferred on him, and promising that in the future as well as in the past, he would be faithful to the great principles of De mocracy, and would work heart and hand with the millions of freemen to restore the shattered fragments of his country to its former grandeur and hand it down to future generations as the past has handed it down to us. A resolution was passed that when the Convention would adjourn it would not dissolve it, but that it might reassemble at any time and place that the National Committee would designate to call it. After a few speeches, a few un important resolutions and a vote of thanks to the presiding officers the Convention adjourned. Thus passed off the Convention. They have dune their work, and done it wisely and well. They have placed before the American cople the ablest and most popular ticket ever placed before them ior their suffrages. Iioth candidates are in the prime of life, of unsullied reputation, and marked ability. The unbounded popular enthusiasm in favor of George li. M'Clellan, has had no parallel since the tlays of General Jackson. Y'ou might as well think of stopping the cata ract of Niagara with pitchforks as to think to stop the nomination of ' Little Mac " as he is called. This enthusiasm is a sure indication of his success. There are other popular men, and j ery great in the States, but their popularity is circum scribed to narrow limits. MCIeIlan"s is only bounded by the confederacy. The nomination of him even, already seems to have restored confidence in the jeople. They can sec now, though at a distance some chance that this hellish butchering will have to stop some day or other, they can see that they will have a future leader on whom they can rely for the protection of their own liberties as well as tihtintr the South, should that ever have to be done. Such a man sickened out wi:h old Lincoln the people yearned for, and hi election will be welcomed by outpourings of popular Multitude, and demonstrations of public rejoicing, which will be the precursor of those that will shortly follow to L-elebrate the return of peace. Peace will then be at hand, the men at the head of the affairs of the nation will change the policy of blood, and hatred, and negro-stealing, to justice, to harmony and good-will amongst each other, and a fair trial at a peaceable adjustment of the ditticuUics existing. The American people would never have gone to war were it not that the old cursed creature whom the devil must have saddled on the Government, wanted a war to have his name in history, that Abraham Lincoln was the great fricn.l of the bond-man. Tlie War Sicws. From the different seats of war the news of the success of our men seems to be more encouraging than herelofoie. A!.nf.i l..ia Mt -t f-illcn into ihe nosses- Ultllllll. .' " " " ' sion of Sherman's army ; by a think movement a division of Sherman's army got into the town. 1 le had been investing it for some time, but was harrassed by the enemy cutting the railroads behind him. He has at last however succeeded in its capture. Whether there were many prisoners taken, or stores, or what the loss was, is r.ot yet known. Only a dispatch from the Secretary of War an nounces the fact that Atlanta has fallen into our hands. It is thought that the rebel General Hood fell back to Macon and secured a safe retreat, lest by staying at Atlanta, the loats of General Canby under Farragut at Mobile, might come on him unawares and harrass him on every side, and compel the loss of his men. The rebels have fallen back in the val ley of the Shenandoah, and Gen. Sheri dan's cavalry is in pursuit of them so it would appear from the papers. It is also said that Lee has recalled Gen. Earl', confident that the campaign in tho Shen andoah valley is over for the present. Gen. Page, of the rebel fort at Mobile, showed the white flag to Admiral Farra gut. and surrendered the wdiole fort. It is said, that contrary to the usages in such cases made and provided, he spiked the guns, and destroyed a good deal of prop erty, during the negotiations of the sur render. This property should have been left intact for the captors, after the first appearance of the flag. The Chicago domination. We this week place at the head of our paper, the nominees for President and Vice President of the Chicago Conven tion. In doing so we wish to give them an introdution to our readers in order that they may know something of the men they are expected to vote for. George lirinton McClellan, the nominee for President, was born in Philadelphia, on the 3d of December 182G and is now only 38 years of age. His father was one of the most eminent physicians of Philadelphia or indeed of the American Continent. He was one of the first pro fessors of the Medical College of Phila delphia, and his fame had reached Ix)n don, Paris, Icydon and Edenburgh as pre-eminent in Ins profession. Jle was of Scottish extraction, related to that cele brated Scotch soldier, Sir Colin Campbell who fought his way up from a shepherds crook on the Caledonian Moors along the banks of the Clyde, to a Field Marshal's baton among the armies of England, and a ISaronet's coronet anion": her peers. This however amounts to nothing, but only shows that he comes from a stock" renowned for justice, fidelity, valor and truth and if he had no merits of his own would do him little good. " What could c noble slaves or cowards ? Alas ! not all the blood of all the Howards." Young George was sent by his father to the University of Pennsylvania at the age of thirteen, and there pursued his studies vigorously and successfully until he got a eadetship at West Point, in 1842. He graduated with high honors and was placed in the engineer company in active service on the ll'io Grande, and reached his post at the close of the battle of Mon terey. From that time the history of the Mexican war discloses the gallantry and efficiency of the young engineer McClel lan, and also Ueaureguard who seemed to be his competitor. The jeculiar impor tance of that branch of the service to which these officers were attached, on account of their distinction at West Point, brought them under the immediate notice of General Scott, and M'Clellan was rapidly promoted to captain ere the close of the Mexican war. After the treaty of peace he was ordered to West Point, in command of a company of Sappers and Miners, where he remained for three years. From thence he was transferred to suiter- intend the works at Fort Delaware. From thence he was transferred to ser ice in the far West, where he was actively engaged in various places in the United States ser vice till March, lS.ja. When he was or dered to proceed to Europe, in company with Major Delafield and Major Mordecai, to study the operations of the great war then raging between the Western Allies and the Uussian Empire. He minutcly examincd the works of Sevastopol and the armies of the Crimea, and came home and published an elaborate and truthful report, which was publUhe.l by authority of Congress, and after the publication of this report in 18.57, of the armies in Eu rope, in January of that year he resigned his commission in the army and went into civil life. lie was appointed chief-engineer of the Illinois Central Kailroad. and on the com pletion of that great enterprise was elected Vice-President of the Company, which he continued to fill, residing at Chicago, till August, 1SG0, when he was chosen President of the Eastern Division of the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, and re moved to Cincinnati. There he was found at the breaking out of this rebellion. He was tendered and accepted a commis sion from Governor Dennison, of Ohio, and in a few days afterwards received the commission of Major-General from the Li' nitetl .States Government. From that time to the present every school-boy knows his history, and it becomes entirely un necessary for us to say a word about it. ins growing tame and popularity gave the alarm to the dynasty at Washington, who were endeavoring at all hazards to perpetuate their own power. They took every opportunity to blacken his fame and ruin his reputation, but the fiercer that corrupt clique attacked him the more he grew in the affections of the people. At this present time he is the most enthusias tically popular candidate ever was in the United States. An inate sense of justice stepped in between that tyrannical and cowardly administration to protect a gal lant and patriotic officer, by the people, and we have no doubt, they will mete out that justice between him and Abra- , ham to their full satisfaction. Such ie our candidate for the Presidency. Here follows our Vice-President : "Hox. GeokgeII. lKMr.ETOX.

He is a man of pleasing appearance and a fluent speaker. 1 1 is popularity is proverbial among his politi- cal opponents, as well as those attached to the same party with himself.
