Tho war party, the true Union men in the
meeting, succeeded in getting the organiza-

must be nothing added to what has been
said in THE CALL. And they then went
into that convention to carry out the pro-
gramme that had been agreed upon; and
that programme was carried out almost To

upon were all selected, except one, Mr..

Mr. EDIroR.-In times like the present, when

and facts concerning the resources and capabili-
ties Of our country. In the short space of time
since this war has commenced there have been
mustered into the service of the United States
some two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers,
drawn from the farms and workshops and other
pursuits of industry; yet allbranches Of business

no doubt furnished thelargest number Of soldiers.

interest and feed all the world aud "the rest of

better crops of all kinds than ever before.

years Of age. and said to be worth some seven
millions of dollars. having inherited the fortunes
Of an uncle and father, who had been the most
successful manufacturers Of cotton in America.
He is said to be man Of distinguished ability,
and it is reported in well informed circles here,
that he offered to pay the salary of Secretary
Welles. of the Navy, for four years, if he would
resign. The Secretary is regarded by many as an
imbecile. His management of the Navy gives
great dissatisfaction He seldom expresses an
opinion in the Cabinet consultations On one oc
casion Mr.. Lincoln asked him bis opinion of a
certain measure, to which he replied he really did

about one mile beyond where the fight took

he was deliberately murdered this morning. while

that the pistol could not have been six inches

lived more than thirty minutes after he received
the wound in the body. A woman, at the house

Scarcely one of our men but what had more or

after discharging all their shots. they went in with

WAsHINGlON, lnufSuay, June II.
1t is not denied by Mr.. Seward, in his dispatch
of yesterday, that Jefferson Davis has written a
letter to :he President, deprecating the continu
ance Of the war. But the existence of such aeet-
ter isnot confirmed. Mr. Seward merely alleges
that no offer of compromise has been made. Pre-
sident DAVIS very recently declared, in his letter
to the Maryland Committee, that be would never
make another overture for a negotiation, but
would accept one. 1t NAV be well doubted wheth-
er any letter or overture of any kind has been or
will be received by Mr.. Lincoln from Mr.. Davis.
But. at any rate, no terms of compromise will be
listened to by this Administration, or will be pro-
posed by Congress at the coming session.
The Executive Government will press the wal
now with all the ability which they possess, for
they act under the menaces of the New York wal
press, and know that they must "pack up theiI
trunks and be off, if they don't take Richmond
before the tenth of July. They have as much
idea of getting Richmond by that time, as they
have Of grabbing the moon. They can not move
in any direction Without imminent peril-not from
Fortress Monroe, not from their Alexandra line:
and not even from the Maryland and Pennsylva
mia line. But they will make demands upon Con-
gress for money, men, &c, of so pressing ma
strike some important blow, Thus, they viii
avoid the necessity of packing their trunks,
at least Until the regular session, by which tim,
lthey may be enabled to report, as an excuse 70
