roil PRESIDENT
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
: -OF ILLISOI3.
, roi VICE PRESIDENT
ANDREW JOHNSON,
In the Baltimore Convention, which
met Tuesday, Jane 7th, the utiuoit hir.
nony prevailed. A contest occurred on
.y anions tha delegation from Missouri,
, which was decided in fnror of the Radi
eels by a vcte cf 440 pgainst 4. The
platform tr-s hare not seen, lut under.
. sinnd it is lor ihe prosecution of the war,
end ra-kcs tKicotdniynal surrender tie
only term for pence.
-.Abraham Lincoln -was nominated for
TreiUfnt, and Andrew Johnson, of Ten
ccwee, for Vice Ffeeident.
- Thia is cur ticket, decidedly. None
mil doubt that Abraham Lincoln has. in
ft few instance?, erred, which only proves
that he is human. Yet, taking his Ad
ministration all through, considering the
difficulties and'dangtrs that surrounded
ilea every, aide the hordo cf hungry
office reekers, speculators and. copper
head North, and rampant treason Sou'h
he Las sruwn hirnstif as ntar perfec
tion as n Statesman as any that ever
Clled the honorable petition which he now
occupies. fChrist hed an opposition when
cs earth; is i; anything strange then that
there should be an opposition to the pilot
who has thus far yuided the ship of state
through a storm which has no parallel in
history, and an attempt made to snatch
him from hi post of duty while the
breakers are yet around us, and hope is
buoyed up in the heart of the nation by
the Lnowltdge that Abraham Lincoln is
at the wheel ) Noil is not. There are
plenty of men, who, in their blind am
bition lose tight of everything but self,
by whom all ties are considered as but
rope ot ani" cotr.parcd to that which
binds them to thsir cverweein? ambition;
tuch a man now stands opposed to Mr.
Lincoln. We believe the people will,
as they should, overwhelmingly rebuke
the attempt, made at Cleveland, to split
up the Union party. Every vote cast for
Fremont will edd so much to the danger
ef electing a Peace Democrat.
THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION.
Sereral months ago a portion of the
radical Union m?n, those who Lad al
ways been finding fault with the Presi
dent, because he was not quite fast
fnoi'gh to suit their ideas; those who
were constantly urging him to more rad
ical measures ; who thought rebels and
copperheads had no righ's worthy of re
tpect, and that the right of habas corpus
.. might .bo suspended, or the Constitution
riolated, provided it was necessary to
.punish rebels; finding that Old Abe
.popularity was so great they could not
possibly hope to defeat him at the Balti
more Convention, especially after Sec.
Chase had declined in his favor. They
therefore concocted the scheme of calling
National Convention at Cleveland, O.
They charged that there could be
nothing fair in the Convention at Bilti
nsore. The officeholders and Union
Leagers had forestalled public opinion.
They were notwilling to support Mr. Lin-
.cola because some cf the Canserva lives
occasionally praised him, and here and
ihcro a Copperhead avowed a determin
ation to rote for him.
There were three separate calls for a
Convention at Clevelan i, all to meet on
the sane day. The first call was head
ed by Gratz Brown, and was signed by
a jood mauy prominent radicals, among
thera Bird. B. Chapman. The second
call came from John Cochran and othfr
New York. Democrats, former supporters
of Got. Seymour. Last call was from
the Fremont Grub.
We watched th progress of ihe Con
vention movement with considerable in
terest, ns we thought Mr. Lincoln had
treated the radicals in Mirscuri rather
badly. Buttherer-.lt of the Cleveland
Convention astonished us. We certain
ly expected them to adopt a very radical
platform. In it we are disappointed.
They were the last men in tie coun
try who should have pacdared to expe
diency or have affiliated with Copper
heads. When they met they found themselves
composed of divers distinct and opposing
clicks, agreeing only in their hatred of
Mr. Lincoln. In the convention were
very few men of very much distinction.
The radicals and Germans were largely
represented from Missouri. New York
was pretty fully represented by Radical
Germans, by original abolitionists and
by coth War Democrats and Copperheads
Other States did not" send large numbers.
Several states were unrepreseutvd. A
few were from Massachusetts ; the bal
ance of New England sent no delegates
Parker PilUbury, Stephen S Foster,(Ab
by Kelly's husband,) 'Samuel Corlar.d
ar;d a few others were present, claiming
to represent New England.
The Coppehead press, everywhere are
magnifying the importance of this Con
vention; speak of it in the most respect
ful terms. One would suppose, from
reading them that thry intended to sup
port the Cleveland nominees. Indeed
we think many cf them "will actually do
so. It. is only another example af the
mcet:ng cf extremes.
We are making this article too long
without noticing any of the speeches or
letters. The 'Platform' consists of 13
planks. We give synopsis as follows :
1. The Union must be preserved.
2. Constitution and law must be ob
served and obeyed.
3. Rebellion must be suppressed with
out compromise.
4: Right of free speech and free press
and ihe habeas corpus must le held inn
elato except in the rebellious States.
5. The Constitution must be amended
so as to abolish slavery, and give ab.
sclute equality politically to ALL men.
C. The went of integrity and economy
in the Administration of th.3 Govern
ment is criminal.
7. Endorses the light cf Asylum.
8 EnJorse the Monroe doctrine.
9. Speak of gratituie due the sol
diers. 10. One term only for President and
Vice President.
11. Election of the President by the
people without the intervention of elec
tors. 12. The question of the reconstruc
of the rebellious States belong? to Con
gress and not the President.
13. Confiscation of rebel property and
distribution anions the Union Soldiers.
These 'planks' were all voted for unan
imously exeppt the last.
When this convention cf Lincoln ha
ters first got together, they found a large
portion of their number in favor of the
nomination of General Grant. The dem
ocrats especially argued that Grant was
the most 'available' man to run against
Lincoln; that should he capture Rich
mond the people would elect him by ac
clamation; that some convention would
certainly nominate him anyhow. If he
wes nominated by the Cleveland Conven
tion, with Fremont for Vies President,
they would certainly be elected. The
Fremont men replied, that mch a course
would be an insult to Fremont. That
many of the radicals, wanted a nomina
tion on principal and noi for expediency;
that as Gram had returned fugitives into
the rebel line?, they could not consistent
ly nominate him. Bot, thpy argued, the
slavery question need not divide us; we
do not differ in our opinions on that ques
tion ; (?) It is practically dead ; (?)
there were other issues involved of vast
ly more importance. And should Gen.
Grant take Richmond, or shouW some
Convention oiher than the Baltimore
nominate him, Fremont would withdraw
in his favor.
The nominations made were, for Pres
ident, John C. Fremont, Vice President,
John Cochran. The name chosen for
the party, "Free Democracy."
We like most of the principals em
braced in the platform well enough, but
there was certainly a gocd deal cf hypoc
racy on the part of those uho passed
thern. The second, fourth, sixth, and
twelfth, planks, were framed expressly
to censure Mr. Lincoln ; and for the very
acts,'. too, which they had urged and pres
sed him to perform. Just think of the
radicals, who, heretofore, have constant
ly complained that too much leniency
was shown to rebels and copperheads,
passing a resolution censuring the Presi
dent for arbitrary arrests and suspension
of ihe writ of habeas corpus 1
NEWS FROM VIRGINIA.
Washington, Jug 5;h. ToMaj. Gen.
Dix ; A di.-pa;ch from Gen. Grant's head
quarters, dated S 30 last night, has been
received. It states that about 7 p.m.,
yesterday, Friday, the 3d, the enemy
suddenly attacked Smith's brigade, of
Gibbon's division. The battle lasted with
great fury for half an hour. The attack
was unwaveringly repulsed.
Smith's losses were inconsiderable.
At six p. m. Wilson with his cavalry
fell upon the rear of a brigade ut Heath's
division which Lee had thrown around to
his left with ihe intension ot enveloping
Burnside. After a short but sharp con
flict Wilson drove them from their riue
pits in confusion. He took a few pris
oners. He had previously fought and
routed Gordon's brigade of rebel cavalry.
Our entire loss" in killed, wounded and
missing in the three days operations
around Cold Harbor will not exceed ac
cording to the Adjutant-General's report
2.5U0.
This morning, (Saturday, June 4th,)
the enemy's left wing, in troni cf Burn
side, was found to hare been drawn in
during ihe nif:ht.
Col. Cusuata, in cc mm arid of 5.000
men, arrived here yesterday, hanng
marched from Post Royal.
A dispatch from Gen. Sherman, dated
yesterday 4th, 8 o'clock, a, m., thirteen
miles west of Marietta, reports that his
left is now well around covering all the
roads from the Soutlj to the railroad about
Ackworth. His cavalry has been in Ack
worth and occupy in force all Altoona
pass. . No ether military intelligence has
been received by the Department.
E. M. Stanton.
Wounded rebels who have fallen into
our hands, state thai Gen. Lee has been
taken sick and gene back to Richmond,
leaving the army in command of Gen.
Eweil. -
New York, June 5th The Herald's
correspondence gives details of Wednes
day's fighting. He says our lino, of lat
tie extended fully ten miles in length
from northeat lo southwest. Hancock's
line was cn the Mt chanicsville road in
the rifiy pits wrested from the enemy two.
days before. Burn?ide's corps was next
on high ground. Warren was thrown a
little forward, protected in frontby double
and triple lines of the most formidable
field 'breastworks. Wright's corps was
marched to the left with two divisions of
Sheridan's cavalry in the. front and flank.
An attempt was made with rebel infantry
early in the day to drive our cavalry from
CoaI Harbor, but resulted in their re
pulse, killing and wounding a large num
ber and takiDg between two. and three
hundred prisoners.
The rebels were reinforced for another
attack, but Wright coming up enabled us
to hold the place and take more prisoner.
Wright followed up his success and
brought on an engagement which lasted
until an hour after dark. At that time
we had carried the rebel line of rifle pits
and driven, the enimy to the Chickahom
iny river. -
The enemy then made furious assaults,
lite in the evening upon our right and
centre. They marched in three liues
upon Warren, determined to piirrce the
centre and throw the line into confusion.
Attempt afier at'empt was made, and the
men hurled to certain destruction The
battle raged fully three hours iu front of
this corps. Our loss at this point tan
only bo a tithe of what the enemy sus
tained. The attack on Hancock was nearly sim
ultaneous. IIo noi only repulsed the
enemy but pressed them back so far that
he was drawn into a bad position, and
was compelled to make a hasty retreat
aud reiume the ground he occupied at the
outset. The ol jectof Hancock's advance
was, however, Apparently a ruse, as he
was immediately ordered to abandon his
position and move his corps from the
right of the line to the extreme left.
Another correspondent with the lS;h
corps, says of the fighting at Cold Har
bor : The enemy were in heavy force be
tween Cold Harbor and Gaines Mills,
strongly entrenched on the edge of a
dense woods. They had rifle pits and
other earthworks thrown up. At 4:30
they were in position in three lines of
battle. At five skirmishing commenced.
A battery of 20-pcvunders opened fire on
the rebels, and the roar of its guns soon
completely swallowed all sounds from the
skirmish line. At 5.30 ap order was re
ceived for both corps, the Gih and 18ih,
to charge the rebel work in our front.
Brooks and Deviu pushed through the
woods in their front, and pound ii'e a
tornado over the open field. The rebels
opened a grape aLd canister and a heavy
musketry fire, and tho first line was bad
ly cut up. The second mingled with it,
and. thtn the third, and iihiio.-t running,
after an inspiring cheer rang out abve
every other iound as the robels were
driven p-il-mdl from ihetr works auu
through the woods.
The rebels were rallied behind their
rej-erves and attempted to refapure
their lost position. They rushed forward
but were received by .so cljse and 'mur
derous a fire of artillery and mu?"ketry
that they broke and fled in confusion.
Again and again they were rallied and
returned to the charge, but only returned
to be driven back with greater slaughter.
The same correspondent says thai 510
rebel soldiers belonging lo the 16 h and
ISth Georgia Volunteers, came into our
lines cn the 2d. Thy say they are
tired of fighting and dj not want any
more of it. They adrispdoir men to go
in and fight it out. as this was the last
fiht for Richmond and we could take it.
Thpy represent the rebel army as be
coming each day more and more demur
alized with their constant reverses.
A Cold Harbor dispntch of tho 3d to
the Heiald states that a jjnerai attack
was ordered along the whole line at 10
o'clock this motning, resulting in the
fiprct-st fi'jht of the campaign. The left
of Gen. Hmcock's corps after a desper
ate resistance turned the nemy's left
carrying a portion of their main line,
capturing several colors and many prison
ers, but unfortunately was 'unable to hold
the ground or bn'ng oflf the guns. The
battle sttll rages with the prospect of a
bloody day.
A Fort Monroe dispatch of the 3d
says that a dispatch has been received
from Baldy Smith that the rebels attack
ed him with columns but wrere driven off
after a desperate fight. Smith is report
ed to. have captured six thousand prison
prs. Grant is pushing tho enemy at
every point.
A Northern machinist came into But
ler's lines at Bermuda Hundred on the
1st from Richmcnd. He reports Lee to
have fallen back into the Richmond in
trenchments. ' Mayor Mayo had been
arrestfd and plnced in Castle Thunder,
for proposing to surrender the ciiy in case
of necessity in.-tead of burning it as
was proposed. : :
He also says that Lee is sick and con
finpd.tohis bed in Richmond. Grant
has kept him so busy for tho last month,
that even his iron frame had to succomb
lo the great fatigue.
June 7. The rebels attacked the 2d
corps an 1 a portion of the G h last even
in?, lut were handomely repulsed after
a desperaiei struggle. They advanced
to ihe attack several times, and each
time their lines were, cut ti pieses in the
attempt to reach our wot ks.
Their bss "must have been fearful for
our "men shot them down at short fana;
while the l atteries mowed them down in
masses. Our loss very lk'ht. A shell
exploded among the members of Han
cock's staff, one of whom lost a lg.
Trains are guarded all the way from
White House to the front, principally by
colored troops.
Our men are busily ngaged in dig
ging towards the works of ihe enemy, and
an attack was made last night on one of
our working parties.
June 8 The Times' special says of the
rebel attack Sunday night: The rebels
made an assault just after dark this even
ing in front of Smyth' bridge of the 24
Corps. The who'd lower strata of the
atmosphrre was Gense mist. .
Under coer of this fog the enemy ad-

; NEWS FROM SHERMAN.
Dallas, Ga., May 29th, vLi Louisville,
June 5th. The rebels made a desperate
charge about four a'clock yesterday after
noon upon McPhersons's lines and were
repulsed wiih terrible slaughter. ,They
came up in h?avy masses through the
dense undergrowth ia front of our lines,
and were not discovered until within a
very short distance of the skirmishers.
Tho skirmishers fell back rapidly, and
the first line of battle received the shock
in gallant style.
In Djdge's front the object appeared
to be the capture of W'alker's battery,
and so desperately did they contend tor
it that a r,ebel Capta n and Lieutenant
scaled the breastworks, the Captain was
captured an I the Lieutenant killed; hh
body falling inside the work. The battery
kept up a galling fire which piled up the
dead and woundtd by hundreds. Djdire's
line did not give an inch. The loth
corps all stood firm except Harrow's di
vision, which lost soane ground, and two
guns in the first onset of the enemy, but
quickly rallied and recovered the ground
aud ihe gun?. -
WMder's mounted" infantry holding ths
extreme right of McPhersoa's lines, held
their ground finely. Failing to carry our
works with the first rush and satisfied
with their reception from the first line of
battle, th.3 rebels retired with great pre
cipitation, leaving, however, a long line
of skirmishers to hold the grauud pre
viously occupied by them., and enabled
them to carry ofT their killed aud wound
ed. Our loss cannot exceed one hundred,

In McPhersao's front there was con
tinuous firing yesterday, and from the
sound of musketry last night, it is sup
posed that the rebels charged his linss.
Wood's division of the 4th army corps,
and Johnson's division of the 14th orp
were badly cut up on the afternoon f
the 27th. The 23 I corps had previously
held the extreme lefi of our lines, occu
pying a line also at right angles with it
bearing away towards the north. Wood
supported by Johnson, va started out in
the afternoon of the 27th acd marched
something over a mile due east, and ihen
marched south in six lines, through a
dense undergrowth, over hills and ravines
to a line parallel with the general line,
the 23d corps joining its line, arrived to
fill up the interval. About fire o'clock
Wood encountered the enemy in strong
force, and drove him from one position
after another, until a high hill was reach
ed, which it wa'found impassible t J take.
Woxl's whole division and Col. Stubner's

of our army was ordered lo advance on

A narrow belt of thick wouds, on the
summit of a gradual rise in ihe open
field, was the site the rebel chief had se

timber; but our heavy cannonading had
proved quite disastrous, and partly un

and rapid forward movenentof the long,

So, after a few volleys' ofxrifl balls had

After a severe fight of about an hour's,
