GENTJ.E.MKN: I have tfic honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter informing me of my t nomination by the Demeciatic National Convention, re cenll y assettib'cd at Chicago, as their candi dal* at the next election for President of the United States. It is unnecessary f°r me to say to you that t! is nomination Comes to me nns.uight. 1 ani happy to knovr that when the nom inatton was made the record of my public lite was kept m view. The elf, ct of long and varied ervicv in the army durmg war and jieace has been to strengthen and in ike tndehble in my mind and heart the love and reverence for the Union, Constitution, laws, and lltg oftulr Coun'ry, impressed or me in early youth. These feeling- have thus fir guided the course of toy life, and must continue to do so to its end. The existence of more than one government over the region w hich once ow ned our flag is imc uupanbie With the peace, the power and and tiie happiness of tlie people. The preseivation of our Union was th commenced. It should have b.-en conducted for that object only, and in uccoiMuce with those ptincipU'B which I took occasion to de clare when in active service. Thus conducted, the work of reconciliation would have been easy, antl we might have reaped the benefits of our many victories on land and sea. The Union was originally formed by the exorcise <>f a spwit of conciliation and com promise. To restore and preserve it, the same spirit must prevail in our councils, and in tho hearts of the people. The re-estabhshnient of the Union in all its integrity is, and must continue to be. tin indispensable condition of any -untleim* t . So soon as it is clear, or even prubabie, that our prefer j adversaries are ready lor peace, upon the basis of the Union, we should i.\* haust aii the renaurces of statesmanship prac ticed by civilized nations, and taught by the traditions of the American people, consist ent with the honor and interests of the country, . •ectire auch peaco, rc-eitabiish the Unioo guarantee for the future the Constitutional nghta of eery state. The The Uni n is the me cm lit ion of peace— i weaK no mo*e. Let me add what I doubt not was,although, unexpressed, the seuuimnt ot the aoiivtn tiuD. as it is cf the people they represent, that when any one state is willing to return to the Union, U ahoulo be received at once, with a full guirantea ot all its Constitu tional rights. If a frank, earnest, and persistent effort to obtain those objects should fail,the re-ponsi bihty for ulterior consequences will fall upon those alio remain in arms against ilm Union. But the U nioii must be preserved at al! haz arils. I could not look in the face of my p*Ymnt comrades of the army and navy, who have survived so many l u lnody battles, and tell them that the' -r many i>* our.slain ami wounded brethren had in vain ; that we had abandoned that Union for which we have so ofteo periled our lives. A vast majority of our people, whether in the artny and navy or at h me, would, as 1 would, hail with unbounded juy the perwa nent restoration of peace, on the basis of the Union under the Const nut ion. without the effusion of anoi her drop of bto >d. Ba o i peace can be permanent without Union. As to the other subjects presented in the reselulions of the convention. I weed only say that I should seek, in the C nstitution of the United States and the laws framed in accor dance therewith, the rule of my duly, and the limitations of my execm tve power • en deavor to restore economy in public expend! tore, re-estabhsh the supremacy of law, and, by tlie operation of a more vigorous national >ty. resume our commanding position auioug the nations ot the earth. The condition of our iinaoces, the deprecia lH>n of the paper money, and tne buirk-iMr , thereby imposed on labor and capital, show the necessity of a return to a sound financial system ; while the lights of eitizens and the right# of states , end the biDtling authority of' law over President, army, and people, ars subjects of not less vital importance in war ; than in peace. Believing that the views here expressed are these of the convention and the people you rsprcsent, I accept the nomination. I realize the weight of the responsibility jto be borne should tha people ratify yottr choice. Conscious of my o#it Weakness, I can only seek fervently the guidance of the Ruler of toe universe, and, relying on llis all poWer ful aij,dotnv best io restore Uni n and peace to a suffering people, and to establish | and guard their liberties and rights. 1 am, gentlemen, very respectfully. Your obedient servant, Ozones B. McCj.KLLAM. Hon. IIOKATIO SITMOUR, sod othara, Com mittee. Seveoty-Fiv* Thousand Tons of llumau 11 too d, A writer in the Jeffersonlan County Un ion Las made some calculations relative to the number of men killed thus far in this war, and gives the following interesting re j suits : There has been enough already slain to en circle our Slate if their dead bodies were laid in one continuous line. If they were placed in c .fling and corded thev would count thirty- time thousand I j cords.

The one half has nut yet been told. The millions <>l wounded and maimed for life mu-t Ibe taken into account in summing up the grand total ot tvils incident to this blood and lanatical war. And the end is not yet. We shudder at the news of the death ot twenty persons kilkd by the accidental breaking of a rail, or the sinking of a steam boat, and if two hundie I are lo>t by y means, who are fairly h .rror s ncken. a d are ready to weak vengeance on any one who has been segligent or careless in the matter.

It is now perfectly clear that neither Lincoln nor General Fremont can unite the suffrages of the friends of the Union. We do not say why, nor do we lay blame to oi.iier candidate. AH we know is that public senti ment is 100 fearfully divided to incur any r',k in the coming election. Krep It Bafti-e the P.,opl>. • 'Jo the Ed it or* of the N, j".
