each State. The report was unanimously
adopted. The President on taking the chair
thanked the convention for the honor con-
ferred, and spoke briefly in favor of the object
for which the convention was assembled, en-
dorsing it not only as a military necessity, but
also for the increased facilities it would give
for the transportation of the commerce of the
great and growing West. The committee also
reported that the vote by States might be
called by any three delegates present, and in
such case each State should have the same
number of votes to which IL was entitled in
the electoral college, each territory and the

der Of the afternoon was devoted 10 hearing
speeches on national topics from prominent
gentlemen present.
Gen. Waldridge, of New York, after repeat
ed calls, made few remarks, saying that the
object of the meeting was for practical pur-
pose, and not for speech making, and offered
resolution in favor of the Constitution and the
Union, which was received with tremendous
applause. Mr.. Drake, of St. Louis, made
speech of an hours length in favor of vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war, against slavery,
denouncing the latter as the cause of the re-
bellion, and saying we must crush it, or it
would crush u.s. He was very severe on the
copperheads, and was frequently interrupted
by applause.
The Convention then adjourned till o'clock
A. NJ. tomorrow.

THE PORTLAND Co. Is turning out con-
siderable work just now. The machinery of
the Bath steamer, Kangaroo" now lying at
Ocean Steamship wharf, is finished and is now
being put in. She will be ready for her trial
trip in about week. That for the light trans
port stern-wheel steamer, Gen. Berry, now at
Franklin wharf, has been finished with great
expedition, the drawings having only been
commenced on the 25th of April last Mr.. j.
b. johnson, the skillful machinist, was the
energetic sub-contractor who furnished the
drawings and did the work on this engine
The large contracts-those for the machinery
of the gunboats Agawam and Pontoosook-
have been delayed somewhat on account of
the time expended in making shaft lathes
and other tools to do the work with. A large
Iron Planer, designed by Mr.. John Sparrow,
Superintendent of the Co., of forty-five tons
weight and capable of planning surface of
iron eight feet in width; a machine for testing
the strength of iron, and crane capable of
holding thirty tons, have lately been added to
the tools Of The shop, which is now one of the
best in the country. The government has
notified the Company that work may be sus-
pended upon the Dahlgren guns, and be
pushed on the machinery of the gunboats, as
the latter are more needed than the former.

From Mexico.

NEW YORK, June 2.
The Havana Dario of the 9th, received
per Creole, says it is in possession of informa-
ton through authorized channels, confirming
the accounts of the occupation of Puebla by
the French troops, and gives details which it
calls official. On the 10th the French troops,
who had opened parallel of $50 metres from
the fort of Totimehuaven, opened artillery fire,
which dismounted all the guns of the fort.
The beseged defended themselves with valor.
The next day the parallels were advanced to
within a short distance of the works, when
the Mexican Gen. Mendoza appeared in Gen.
Forey's camp, and asked him to permit the
Mexican troops TO retire from Puebla with
their arms and part of the artillery, saying,
that on this condition the place would sur
render. Gen. Forey refused promptly to ac-
cept the offer. At 5 o'clock the bearer of a
flag of truce presented letter from Gen. Or
tego, saying he would surrender uncondition-
ally with all his troops. Thereupon the place
was occupied by a portion of the French
troops on the 10Th, and Gen. Forey himself
entered on the 10th. Gen. Bazne, with two
divisions, commenced to march upon the city
Of Mexico.

FORTRESS MONROE, June 2.
The steamer Emile, from Newbern 3lst, ar
rived this morning. She reports all quiet in
that department.
The gunboat Alert, lying at the Norfolk Ma
Wy Yard, took fire about o'clock last night.
The fire soon got to her magazine and explod-
ed shell which went through her bottom, and
she sunk Immediately. No one was injured.
The flag of truce steamer State of Maine
has arrived. Richmond papers contain moth
ing new from Vicksburg,
The telegraph OF yesterday announced that
Banks had crossed his army ut Bayou Sara
This is about ten miles above Port Hudson.
His object is to get behind that post and carry
it by a land attack. This movement is design
ed to finish the work commenced by Grant,
and clear the Mississippi. A few days will tell
the story. The next news will probably be of
an assault upon Port Hudson.
The Charleston Courier of the Goth contains
the following: On Wednesday last steamer
Eagle left Nassau for confederate port; dur
ing the night she was fired into and captured
by Yankee cruiser. The second shot killed
three Of the crew. The officer of the Eagle
took the Yankee gunboat for the British
steamer Flora, and under that impression al
lowed the cruiser to get near her. This report
reached here Monday by steamer Britannia
from Nassau.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 18th says,
three Yankee gunboats visited Murfreesboro,
N. c., Sunday, and stole 10000 pounds bacon
and all the apple brandy they could find in
the place. They receipted for the brandy but
declined to give any vouchers for the bacon.
The Despatch also contains the following:
A private dispatch received in Richmond
yesterday, from Canton, Miss, dated May 20,
says all is WELL Vicksburg holds out bravely.
A fire at Wilmington, N. c., May n, destroy

pentine and 1900 bales of cotton, the latter
mostly belonging to the government Loss
believed to be very heavy. An editorial of
the same paper says the fate of Vicksburg is
suspended in the balance. Our dispatches
have been encouraging but lack distinctness
essential in such cases. to bring entire relief to
the public mind. The suspense cannot long
continue. The resistance has been, from all
accounts, determined, and let us continue to
hope and believe it will be successful.

WASHINGTON, June z.
Official advices received from Vicksburg up
to the 10Th ult, indicate that there is no change
in the state of affairs there, but that the pros
poets of Gen. Grant are still encouraging.
The number of citizens within the lines of
the army is incredible. Including those reg
istered and following civil pursuits, such as
newsmen, suffers, &c, and having permits to
follow their respective callings, the total will
probably reach 5000. This number, however,
will be reduced to 1000 by the operation of the
recent general order, which is daily being car
ried out by the interchangeable Provost Marshal
General.
1t is ascertained that deserters from the en-
envy on the Rappahannock, average 10 per day.
These deserters, disguised with rebel associa-
tions, arrive by different routes, but principally
by swimming the river.
An accident occurred yesterday forenoon to
one of our balloons 1t had assembled about
400 feet when it was struck by flaw of wind,
which caused great rent. The aeronaut fell
TO the ground, but sustained no great injury.
1t is known in this city that no leaves of alb
sence are now granted to officers for longer
terms than five days.
A gentlemen from the vicinity of Culpepper
says large body of rebels, supposed to be
from Lees army, passed through there yester-
day and proceeded in the direction OF Cor
louisville.
NO alarm exists In the Army OF the POTOMAC
concerning the reported rebel movements.
The Richmond Wing of Saturday contains
nothing whatever from Vicksburg 1t COM
plains edtorially of the inefiiciency of the
rebel government, and argues first that its
great error in the conduct of war was making
it strictly defensive, and suggests that dose
of the enemy's own medicine would cause him
to desist from further invasion.
Commander Somerville Nicholson has been
ordered to the command of the iron clad
steamer Sycamore, and Paymaster Richardson
has been ordered to the steam frigate Wabash.
The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue has
decided that it is the duty of Justice of the
Peace or Notary, before whom an affidavit is
made, to afiiX or cancel the ct. stamp to be
placed thereon.

From Murfreesboro.

MURFREESBoRo, June 2.
Gen. Payne writes from Gallatin, to Gen.
Rosencrans, that he has devised and put into
effect plan of changing slave labor, in his
sub department to compensated labor. Male
negroes are hired out at IS and females at So
per month to their former masters. Written
contracts to this effect are entered into. The
plan is working admirably, and Gen. Payne
says the overseers declare they never had so
much work done, nor half SO well done before.
There is no conclusive nature that Clai-
borne's division Of Braggs army has been sent
TO Vicksburg. Only the two old infantry di-
visions Of Breckenridge and MCGOWAN, and
the cavalry corps of Forrest are known TO
have gone as has been STAGED. Doubtless the
entire divisions of Withers, Claiborne and
Cheatham, the infantry brigades of Anderson
and Jackson, and the cavalry divisions of
Wheeler and Wharton are in our front.
