1161 F -The reader will cot fail to peruse
the admirable speech of ANDREW-JOHN
•SON, delivered at Nashville, on the recep
tion of the intelligence. of "►is nomination
for Vice President. It is -published on
our first page, and is a string of pearls
From begining4to end. None but a true
and noble patriot, and moral hero, could
make such a speech. Every word has
the ring of the true metal. Read it and
band it along to your unbelievig neigh-
Tin WOUNDED WASHINGTON. -7
An exchange informs us that there seems
;to be a pleasant rivalry in progress among
the members of the various State relief
:associations of Washington in aid of the
wounded soldiers and their friends who
.seek them or tidings from them.
Besides the forceeMployedsby the State
governments to work in this chuse, there
is a considerable number of clerks in the
various departments 'from most of the
(Ir-States who devote a large portion of their
time after office hours, in att6tdance
r iche hospitals, and at their State agencies,
, -to assist those ragularly engaged. There
are, also, not a few who seek out the suf-
faring from their own immediate sections,
zed contribute to their relief.
The more troops each State may have
sent to the field, the greater the obliga
'ion that rests upon their fellow-citizens
in' the rear to aid in supplying their wants
- and relieving their sufferings. Kindly
words, stroneOpOlitical encouragement,
and labor in. the various organized de
partments of the Government and of the
universal relief associations are not suffi
cient. Many who need care and assist
ance can only be effectively reached by
their fellow-citizens from their respective
states. Therefore, we trust that this
praiseworthy emulation will continue and
,be increased while the war lasts.
illEirNow that Abraham Lincoln has
'been renominated for President, and it
is a fixed fact that he will be the Union
Candidate in the approaching campaign,
the opposition- editors aro beginning to
show their teeth and growl most spitefully
at the unanimity of the convention which*
has placed him pefore tlie - people. They
doubtless see in this the foreshadowing
of his triumpLant election against any and
all opposition which may be brought
against him; and hence their uneasiness
and anxiety to make a premature exposi
tion
,of their dissatisfaction. Let them
whiny away, it will hurt no one but them
selves, and when the ball is once fairly
opened they will have an opportunity of
witnessing a little more of the spirit and
enthusiasm with which the people can
rally around the standard of a tried and
.faithful public servant. .
Ma. VALLANDIGHAM has taken a bold
step. A banished man--banished not
only nfter a trial . by a military commis
siati, for a military offence, but with the
approval of the President and people of
the United States—he has dared to return
and defy the laws which punished,lhim.
His speech at Hamilton, Ohio, is actually
wicked in its insinuation that the Presi
dent could possibly wish to take his life,
and atrocious in its subtle attempt to excite
his followers to violence.. •What potion
the Government will take we need not:
anticipate, but it is right that it should
be pr)tnpand thorough. Vallandtgliam's
reasons for this audaobus movement are
not difficult to guess: He bids for the
ChicagCnomination, and desire's to -- tive
new trouble and diasention to the North.
A FAVORITE- way with the CotTer
beads this season, ip holding Conventions,
is to dodge alh , ,,platforins and adjourn
withent enunciation of any priueipls. This
has been done at Indianapolis and a few
days since in the Maisie Convention. They
aro waiting for the Chicago Convention to
pitch the tune, and say whether it will be
Democratio to oppose or to sustain the
war. But the party is no more ready to
:speak out throligh the Chicago Conven
tion than through its State Conventional'
and so it is going to postpone the Chicago
'Convention till September.. Perhaps it
wont get 'ready to tell where it steads
Itittil after the election is over.
WAR NEWS•
June 23, 1864— T p..m.—The attack
upon the 2d Corps On Wednesday, near
the Weldon Railroad, did not result so
disastrously as at 'first supposed.
The line was formed by Barloiv's . divik l .
ion, being on the life; Birney's Mott in
command, in the centre, and Gibbons on
the right. -
It was expected that the 6th Corps
would have connected on the left with
Barlow, but it seems quite a gap was left,
into which A. P. Rill's Rebel corps en
teied, and befoie our men were aware of
it they received a volley in the rear, which
created quite a panic in our ranks and
caused a rapid retreat to- the woods in the
rear of the Third Division.
This left the flank of the Third Divis
ion unprotected, and the enemy taking
advantage of it, charged through and
fairly iuto our pits, ;ordering the men to
surrender.
The troops, howefrer, left the tren.,hes
and fell back rapidly, but many of them
were captured, and I quite a number were
killed and wounded!before they got away.
The number of our loss in prisoners is
reported at 1,000, NOM) dome make the
figure' higher. I'
Our loss in killed' and wounded in prob
ably 1,500.
Some four of our officers engaged in
this fight had just kilned their commands
after being exchanged, and when sur
rounded and ordered to surrender, replied,
'.Never 1 Death rather than the Libby
Prison I" and, fighting their way out as
best they could, many of them succeeded
in' getting back safe to our lines.
At 8 p. m. a cbarge was made by the
2d Corps and the line of works from which
they had been forced in the afternoon,
was recovered.
We lost scarcely a man in this advance,
as the Rebels fired too hieb, the balls all
passing over the heads of our men. A
number of prisoners was taken.
Skirmishing was kept up all night
alone the line, the pickets being, at some
points, not fifty yards apart.
At , daylight this morning an advance
of the entire line was made, when it was
found that the Rebels had taken a new
position some distance further back,wbere
they had thrown up some strong , intrench
ments during the night, which they still
hold.
Col Blaisdell of the 11th Massachu
setts was killed to-day by a sharpshooter
while visiting the skirmish line.
I Lieut. W. H. Child of the 4th Penn
sylvania, who Was to have been reinstated
yesterday as First Lieutenant, was shot
dead by a Rebel sharpshooter on Thurs
day evening.
Maj. Halsey of the 11th New Jersey
is, missing. and is supposed to be Captured.
The Gth Corps moved toward the rail
read this morning, driving the enemy
before them, and *during the afternoon
reported that they were in possession of
the road, and arrangements were at once
Wade to destroy it. '
By the steamship Columbia, arrived on
Friday morning, we• have New Orleans
dates to June 28, but no news of import.
ance. Maj.-Gen. Sickles arrived on the
17th from Baton Rohge. He was receiv
ed with an artillery salute. An interest
ing ceremony took Place on June 17 at
the Caroodelet street Church, the oeca
sion being the presentation of a flag from
the Washington Square New York) M.
E. Church to the Methodists of New Or-
Ileans. The Rev. Dr. Newman made the
I presentation address, which was eloquent
and patriotic, and gave various statistics'
showing the history, loyalty, and Anti-
Slavery attitude of the M. E. Church.
Judge Howell responded, 'accepting the
Offering. Gen. Canby is on a visit to Ad-
Miral Farragut,aff Mobile, The health
Of New Orleans is !excellent. Several
guerrillas have been! captured on the
Atchafalaya River by the 2d Maine Cav
alry. The Rebels at:tacked a gunboat at
Tunica Bend on the 15th„ and a passen
ger steamer on the same night near Como
(Landing. The former drove off the Reb
els. but it is supposed that the latter wa
considerably damaged. Lieut. Cobb of
the New Hampshire Cavalry, captured by
the Rebels on May 15, was murdered
after surrendering.
Cen. Grant has sent hie cavalry to the
Weldon Railroad, and at last accounts
Wilson's division was tearing up the rails
at Rives Station. To support the move
ment, the left flank was again extended
—the 2d and 6th. Corps swinging round
to the south ; of Petersburg. A. sadden
attack by a portion of A. P. Hill's corps
seews to have resulted in the loss of four
guns from a battery of the 12th N. Y.
Artillery ; but there was no general ac
tion, nor any disposition on the part of
the enemy to push the slighti advantage
Which they derived from a surprise.
If the present effort of' Gen Grant is
to hold the• Weldon Railroad, it must give
a new direction to the campaign.. It ap
pars that the road near Petersburg has
for some time been j directly under 'his
guns, so as to be useless, or nearly so, for
transporting supplieiL There remains,
therefore, but the Danville road as a,•sin•
gle line.of communication between Rich
mood and all the Bo.u:th. . A considerable
portion of Leo's force is said to have been
detached for the protection of this, while
two divisions went to Lynchburg to ope
rate against Hunio , —with what success
there is nothing as yet to show. -
Brig.-Gen. Fitz Benry Warren has
been ordered tu.Brownsville to tAce chief
command of ail the forces inifilat part of
Texas. Gen. Betor assumed oommand of
the District of - Bawl) Rouge en the 113th.
Maryland has abolished Blavery, and
now shines - out in the constellation of
free States.
Union National Platform.
%'The following is the platform adopted
by the Union National Convention
Resolved,. That His the highest duty
of every -American citizen _to maintain
against all their enemies the integrity of
the Union and the paramoutliauthority of
the Constitution and laws of the United
States; and that, laying aside alt differ
ences aiid political opinions, we pledge
ourselves, as Union men, animated by a
common sentiment, and aiming at a com
mon object, to do everything in our pow
er to aid the Government in quelling
by force of arms the rebellion now raging
against its authority and in bringing to
the punishment due to their crimes the
rebels and traitors arrayed against it.
Resolved, That we approve the deter
mination of the Government of the I
United States not to compromise with
rebels, or to offer no terms of peace, ex
cept such as may be based upon an un
conditional surrender of their hostility
and a return to their just allegiance to
the Constitution and laws of the United
States, and that we call upon the Gov
' ornment to maintain this position, and .to
prosecute the war with-the utmost possi
ble vigor to the complete suppression of
the rebellion, in the full reliance upon
the self-sacrificing patriotism and heroic
valor and the undying devotion of the
American people to their! country and its
free institutions.
Resolved, That as Slavery was the
cause, and now constitutes the strength,
of this rebellion and as must be, always
and everywhere hostile to the principles
of Republican Government, justice and
the National safety demand its utter and
complete extirpation from the soil of the
Republic. And that while we uphold
and maintain the acts, and proclamations
by which the Government, in its own de
fence, has aimed a death-blow at this , gi
gantic evil, we are in favor furthermore
of such an amendment to the Coustitu-
ioa to be made by the people in conform
ity with its provisions, as shall terminate
aml forever prohibit the existence of
slavery within the liwits or the jurisdic
tion.sof the United States.
Resolved, That the thanks of the
American people are due to the soldiers
and sailors of the army and navy who
have periled their lives in defence of
their country and in vindication of the
how of the flag; that the nation owes to
them some permanent recognition of their
patriotism and their valor and ample and
permanent provision for those of their
survivors who have received disabling
and honorable wounds in the service of
their country ; and that memories of those
who have fallen in its , defence shall be
held in'grateful and everlasting remem
brance.
Pesolred, That we approve and applaud
the practical wisdom, the unselfish patri
otism and the unswerving fidelity to the
Constitution and the principles of Amer
ican liberty with which Abraham Lincoln
has discharged, under, circumstances of
unparalleled difficulty, the great duties
and, responsibilities of the Presidential
office; that we approve and endorse, as
demanded by the emergency, and essen
tial to the preservation of the nation and
as within the provisions of the Constitu
tion, the measures and acts which he has
adopted to defend the nation against its
open and secret foes; that we approve
especially the Proclamation of Emanci
pation, and the eurploytnent as Union
soldiers of men heretofore held in slavery,
and that we have full confidence in his
determination to carry out those and all
other Constitutional measures essential to
the salvation of the country with full and
complete effect. I
Resolved, That we deem it essential to
the gen'ral welfare that harmony should
prevail in the National Councils, and we
regard as worthy of public confidence and
official trust those only who cordially en•
aorso the priuziples proclaimed in these
resolutions and which should characterize
the administration of the Government.
Resolved, That the Government owes
to all men employed in its armies, with
out regard to distinction of color, the full
protection of the laws of war and that any
violation of these laws, or the usages of
civilized nations in time of war, by the
rebels now in arms, should be wade the
subject of prompt and full redress.
Resolved, That foreign immigration,
which in the past has added so much to
the wealth, development of resparees and
increase of the power of this nation, the
asylum of the oppressed of all nations,
should be fostered and encouraged by a
liberal anu just policy..
'Resolved, That we are in favor of the
speedy' construction . of the railroad to the
Pacific.
Resolved, That the National faith,
pledged for the redemption of the public
debt, must bb kept inviolate, and that for
this purpose we recommend economy and
rigid responsibility in the - public expen•
ditures, and a vigorous and just system
of taxation; that it is the duty of every
loyal State to sustain the credit and pro
mote the use of the National currancy.
Resolved, That we approve the posi
tions taken by the Government that the
people of the United States can never
regard with indifference the attempt of
any European, power to overthrow. by
force, or to supplant by fraud the insti
tutions of any Republican Government
on the Western Continent; and that they
will view with extreme jealousy, us men
acing to the peace and independence of
their own country, the efforts of any such
power to obtain new footholds for Monar
chial Governments, sustained by foreign
military force, in near proximity to the
United States;

Indiana •politicians regard with great
conaern the concurrence of the evil events
of Vallandigham's return and Morgan's

arming of the Copperheads of Indiana,
and the recent withdrawal' from that
State of immense numbers of Unionists
as one hundred day men. In their judg
nient the dispersion of Morgan's force
and the defeat 'of the scheme fur a new
invasion of Indiana, has alone saved us
from a rebellion in a Northern State in
aid of the Slaveholders Rebellion.

O&I Ass's CEiotee.—A gentleman in
conversation remarked to President Lin
coln on Friday, that nothing could defeat
him but • Grant's capture of Richmond,
•to be followed by his nomination at .Cht
cage - and acceptance. "Well," said the
President, "I feel very much like the man
who said he didn't want to die particu
larly, but if be bad got to dio, that was
precisely the disease he would like to
die of."
The first grist mill ever erreted in
Pennsylvania, is yet in existence. It is
a quaint old stone building, and bears
date about 1680. It is erected on a small

Englund, is still retained in thiamin.
Among the „prisoners brought from
Gen. Grant's army to the White House,
last week, was a woman, a coarse, hard

a rebel battery when she was captured,
and had on an officer's uniform of the
United States.
