AFTERNOON SESSION.


The Representatives of the loyal States,
assembled in National Convention, at Chi.
cago, desirous of connecting closer the
union for perpetuhting our nationality for
ever, OF providing for common defense and
promoting the general welfare ofour whole
country, adopt the following resolutions
LIST. That we regard the construction
and enlargement of the canals between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic, with canals
duly connecting the lakes, as oil great mil.
itary and commercial Importance. We be-
lieve such enlargement aud construction,
with dimensions sufficient to pass gunboats
from the Mississippi to Lake Michigan, aud
from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes, will
Kurdish the cheapest and most expeditions
means for protecting our northern frontier,
and at tue same time will promote rapid
developments for the permanent union of
our whole country.
I'd. That these works are demanded
alike by military prudence, political wis
dom and the necessities of commerce.
Such works will be not only national but
continental, and their accomplishment is
required by every principle of sound po-
litical economy.
Sd. That such national highways be-
tween the Mississippi and Lake MS far MS
practicable, should be free without tolls or
restrictions, and we should deprecate pla.
cling this great thoroughfare in bands, any
private corporation or State. The work
should be accomplished by national credit,
and as soon as the cost is REIN bursed to the
national treasury, it should be as free as
theilakes to the commerce of the world.
The resolutions were adopted without a
dissenting voice.
Ruggles for himself offered the follow
ing: az 3lG
leesolyed, That the Convention is of opfn-
ion that the increased stimulus to be Civ
en- to agriculture and commerce in the
opening transportation for western pro.
ducts by the proposed enlargement of the
canal will so far increase the foreign com,
merce of the country that import on duties
on return cargoes will very far exceed the
interest on the cost of the proposed works
aud produce fund for its rapid reimburse
ment.
Carried unanimously 49,.
A resolution was adopted for the ap-
pointment of committee by the Presi.
dent, to prepare memorial to the Presi-
dent and Congress, presenting the views of
this Convention and urging the passage of
laws necessary to carry them into full eff,
feet, the committee to have power to open
such correspondence as may be expedieut.
and in their discretion call any further
Convention.
A. resolution rendering the thanks of the
Couyention to the President for the able,
digniied and accomplished manner. in
which the he had presided over the Con-
vention waspassed unanimously.
General Walbridge, of New York, closed
the Convention by submitting a series OF
strong resolutions sustaining the Union,
after which the convention adjourned sin.

, results Of Gen Hooker'g Late Battles.

The Washington Chronicle OF Friday morn
ing says:
"Time only can develop hsrecise reasons
why General Hooker withdrew his army
across the Rappahannock. 1t may be that
net oaly the swelling of the stream by three
days rain, but some Interior purpose, caused
the movement, which was SO unexpected to
the public at large We don't care to spec
ulate. We are content with certainties. 1t
is certain, then, that we have inflicted vastly
more damage on the enemy than they have
on us. The whole amount of our wounded
will not exceed 5000, and our killed 1,5O0.-
This we learn from reliable sources. There
is no means of telling how many prisoners we
have taken, but it is certainly more than 5000
The number reported by Lee and our dispatch
es from Suffolk show this not to be an over
eatimate. The fact that the enemy were not
willing to follow us as we withdrew to the
river, nor able to interfere with our crossing
is certain indication of their exhaustion
They weIe unquestionably terribly cut up
General Stoughton reports that they acknowl-
edge to unprecedented losses-and that they
suffered especially from artillery. On the 9TH
er hand, we find our army in the very best of
spirits. From many whom we have seen di-
rect from the army we learn that the great
est enthusiasm exists The soldiers have per-
feet confidence in their present commanding
General. They understand why they are in
this position and not inclined to consider
themselves driven back when they had the
best of the rebels in every encounter, and deS-
troyed many more than they lost"
The confidential dispatch from Lee to the
rebel President, captured by Stonemans cav
airy, claims great victory, but adds that his
loss was terrific

Major General Commanding

NEGRO SHoT.-A vagrant negro named
Cordell, was killed on Saturday night about
half mile south Of town, by Patrick Con-
nelly, under the following Circumstances
Connolly had for some time been missing his
fowls about his premises, and believing that
some one was stealing them, be concluded on
Saturday night to watch He loaded his gun
with shot and secreted himself in his stable.
Sometime in the night he discovered three
persons around the stable endeavoring to eff
feet an entrance. One of them climbed up into
the mow, and was in the act of appropriating
some fowls, when Connolly commanded him to
leave or he would shoot him. The fellow,
however, anxious no doubt to procure his Sun
day dinner, and not retreating suddenly as
thieves usually do, Connolly tried the virtue
of cold lead upon him, which caused him to
change bis position for the earth below. The
charge of shot entered bis neck and upper
part of his breast, killing him instantly. The
Coroner's Jury returned verdict in accord
ance with these facts. The negro was buried
on Sunday. se~s ss rrr
~ We learn that it was not Connelly's design
to kill him, but the night being dark he could
not tell where to shoot r.E sf sa l.a
There has been too much petty thieFing Of
of this sort going on in this neighborhOod for
years, and we trnst this tragedy will put a stop
to it. Connolly came to town early on Sun
day morning to give himself up to the author
tiles, but be was not retained, public opinion
seeming to justify the killing under the eircum-
Stances -Iarysvils Iribuns.
