m Coming Convention in ChicagO.

Tbe Coming Convention in Chicago.
On the ID Of June the great National
Convention assemblies in Chicago. The
Tribune says, as the time spprOsches it
becomes more evident that both in the num-
Der of those who are to be present. and
their high social n dintellectual character,
it will be one Of the largest and most inhu-
entail bodies that ever assembled on this
continent. The responses received by the
committee, and the interest manifested in
the subject all over the country, give as
surance that we are to have q Convention
whose voice and action will correspond
with the magnitude Of the interests at
stake. It is no exAggeratiOn to say that
aside from the immediate suppression Of
the rebellion, in its influence upon the safe
ty, the development and the future glory Of
The nation, no more vital subject can en-
gag the public attention. The Committee
on Statistics are preparing a mass Of facts
gathered from the last census, and other
perfectly reliable sources, in relation to the
extent the resources and the growth Of the
Northwest, which must convince the most
sceptieal that such q people and such a
commerce, long since exceeding in value
the entire foreign traffic of the nation,
have a right to that military protection
which the enlargement of the Illinois and
Michigan, and the Erie canals would afford.
These millions of people, dwelling on and
near thousands Of miles of lake coast, and
the value of whose trade is told in hun
dreds of millions, have but a single gun
boat, carrying but q single gun to defend
them-and this while they now furnish
seventy per cent. of the products that pay
for the vast foreign imports of the country
As circumstances now are, if war vert
declared with Great Britain she could il
forty or in sixty days at most, while naVi'
CATION was open through her St. Lawrence
canals, place a feet of gunbOats upon TIT
lakes that would sweep our commerce from
existence, and take or burn every city be
tween O~gdensburg and Chicago. Te pre-
vent such a calamity, the magnitude ant
the result Of which no mortal man can es
innate, this Convention is called.
If our canals were enlarged as proposed
the moment war was declared, the Govern
ment could command every iron foundry
and every ship yard, with all their accu
mulated resources between Pittsburg an
St. Paul, and also every gunboat alread.
afOat on our Western rivers and by tn
time England could place her gunbOats q
Kingston, or at most at one end of tn
Welland canal, our fleets could be at I'll
other and at OswegO to meet and rep'
them. The experience of the past two yea1
has amply demonstrated the necessity
being thoroughly prepared for a wal wit
England. To be SO prepared is the Onl
sure way to prevent it.

How Van Dom was Shot.

The Chattanooga Rebel confirms the re-
port Of the shooting Of the rebel General
Van Dorm. It says Dr.. Peters, who killed
him, was formerly State senstOr from
Hardin county, in this State, and is a gen.
tleman of wealth, position and influence,
whose family connections rank with the
first in Tennessee. He approached Gen.
eral Van Dorm in the street, and, present.
ing 3 pistol, shot him in the head.
Thus has 8 double-dyed traitor and vii
lain, just from the preparation Of one of
the foulest crimes known in the calender
Of infamy, he having sedu0ed DR.. Peters
wife, met a fitting retribution. That
his infamous career as a debauekss and enc
my to his country has come to an end, no
loyal man viii regret.

sickIes' Corps in the Late Hnttles.
A private letter from a distinguished
officer in sickles' corps, says =" Through

Jackson on Saturday, whose command
numbered forty thousand men, and on

May 16, 1858.
We have this week sent forward two
valuable car loads of goods per steamer
Dunleith to Nashville, Tenn.
These shipments, consisting Of three
hundred and t~hirty-fve packages, was
composed principally of edibles; fresh
vegetables, pickles, eggs, butter, and a
small quantity Of flannel clothing, bed
ding, etc. The following summary will
show the number and class Of articles:
10 quilts, 2S8 shirts, 8O2 prs. drawers, 10
bedgowns, ETC., 2O6 qts fruit, 1927 lbs
dried fruit, 275 lbs groceries, 296 lbs but
ter, 7 bottles wine, $50 dOz eggs, So kegs
pickles. 457 bushels vegetables, SO sun
dries. In addition to the above were sent
forward L,IO4 cans or 2,112 lbs condensed
milk and coffee purchased by this Society,
and 658 cans concentrated beef tea, pre-
pared at the Soup House in this city. The
receipts of vegetables have been much
greater than during any previous week,
and we gratefully acknowledge the prompt
and liberal response to this want of the
soldier as made known through our col
umns.
We have received to-day due notice Of
the safe arrival Of our shipment Of April
29th, at Nashville. But with acknowledge
ments Of the value Of these stores at the
present time, come renewed appeals fol
still greater efforts on Our part to procure
further supplies of fresh vegetables, pick
les, butter and eggs.
We have so often appealed to the publi
with all the earnestness our " knoWl
edge of the necessities ofthe case cOul'
lend the subject, and have brought befor
its notice, in confirmation of our plea, tn
evidence Of those whose personal expert
ence in this field entities them to our en-
tire confidence, that further arguments t
support our demand may now seem use
less.
The time, however, for all effort in pre-
curing the fresh vegetables and food 8
necessary to the health and strength {
our troops, is the present and precious b'
vond all estimation. Every day and hOu
now is of greater value than we can Fsl
hans realize in this work, for notonly mui
the present necessities of the army be SUI
piled, but nom only can preparations for II
ture emergencies be made. viii not ever
one who has soil which can be given fc
this purpose, devote at least q small pc.
! ton Of it to ~cultivating vegetables for Il
soldiers.
Nor do we call upon u grown-l
friends alone. A special appeal is ma
to the little folks in the following artiG
