Moving The Wounded.

PHILADELPHIA, May 26.-The Bulletin
has the following special dispatch:
WASHINGTON, May 2G.-The steamer
State of Maine, arrived this morning with
about four hundred of our wounded from
Port Royal, where they were transferred 10
her from the George Weems, which brought
them down from Fredericksburg. .
Yesterday there were but thirteen hun
drcd wounded remaining at Fredericksburg,
and these, it was thought, would be remoy-
ed tonight. All the stores were being
rapidly brought off, and it is probable that
to-day the place is completely emptied.
At Port Royal pontoon bridge was be-
Ing thrown across yesterday afternoon.
The State Of Maine reports that no guer-
rillas or distractions were encountered
along the Rappahannock. Our gunboats
are very vigilant in patroling the river.

Substance Oftie Resolutions adopt-
ed by the Democratic Union Con.
YentiOn of Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, May 26.-The Democratic
Union State Convention at last nights ses-
sion, passed resolutions reaffirming the
principles affirmed by the Union Demo-
cratic State Convention at Louisville, March
18th, 1868; expressing their adherence for
all attempts to pervert the war from its
Legitimate purposes, as declared by Con-
gress at the beginning; to use the power of
the nation under fanatic bidding, to infict
fanatic vengeance; that its re-establish-
ment and enforcement of the Constitution,
as it was, would be the greatest triumph
and vindication of mans capacity for self
government that any Republic has ever
given to the world; that the doctrine that
the States in which an armed insurrection
has existed against the Federal Govern
ment, have ceased to be States, and shall be
held, on the ultimate defeat of that insrr-
rection, as territories or subjugated prov
inces, ought to be rebukcd and condemned;
that the only object Of the war ought to
be to subjugate the armed insurrection
which tor the time being, suspends the
proper relations of certain States with the
Federal Government, and to re-establish
the supremacy of the Constitution; that
we unqualifiedly condemn the policy of en-
listing negroes In the armies of the United
States; that no people can submit to the
suppression of the freedom of elections, and
remain free; that this Convention express
es its preference for Mcclellan for Presi-
dent, and Bramlette for Vice President
that the delegates to Chicago are instruct
ed to vote as an unit in that Convention, or
as majority of them may decide.
After able speeches from Lieut.. Governor
Jacobs, M. Hanson, Gen. Hustin and Mr..
Ward, Ethe Convention, at a late hour adj
journed sine die.

man has tlanked Atlanta on the west, TAX

expedition was made by the 1O3d New York
Volunteers, which was highly successful
and resulted in the capture Of rebel picl e.

port that the news in the Charleston papers

thrown back by Lee, but Meade received
reinforcements and made stand south of
the Rappahannock. They represent, the
force of the enemy at over six regiments of
infantry. This does not include the troops
on Johns Island, and in the vicinity of

erql Dir 1:-Dispatches from Grant, received
this morning Informs the department that
the rebel army still hold strong position
between the North and South Anna Rivers,

WAR DEPARTMENT,
WASHINGTON, May 25-9P. M.}
TO Major General De-:
The latest dates from Gen. Grants head
quarters received by this department, is
dated at Mount Carmel Church, one p. M J.,
Yesterday. The dispatch says everything
is going well. Warren has 400 prisoner,
Hancock some 300 and Wright has picked
up some 200; the whole number resulting
from yesterdays operations, will not fall
short of 1000. Warren's loss is not over 300
killed and wounded. The prisoners cap
turcd, who are in q great part North Caro-
linians, are much discouraged, and say that
Lee has deceived them.
The pursuits delayed by the great fatigue
of the men-still Hancock and Warren will
reach the South Anna by night fall.
General Butler, in dispatch dated Head
quarters, o'clock this a. M, reports that
Major General Fitz Hugh Lee, lately pro-
NOTED, made, with cavalry, infantry and
artillery, an attack upon my position mt
Wilson's Wharf on the north side of James
River, below Fort Powhattan, garrisOned
by two regiments, all negro troops, Briga-
dier General Wild commanding and was
handsomely rcpulsed. Before the attack,
Lee sent a flag, stating that lie had force
enough to take the place, demanding its
surrender, and in case the garrison should
surrender they should be turned over to
the authorities of Richmond as prisoners of
war; but if this proposition was rejected
he would not be answerable for the conse-
quences when he took the place. General
Wild replied that we will try that. Rein
forcements were at once sent, but the fight
was over before their arrival. Our loss is
not yet reported. No other reports of mil
itary operations have been received by the
department since my telegraph of $3.50 last
evening. -r--- ., g,
