THE BOLT OF THE CHICAGO PLATFoRMERs
The New York correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer says:
The Daily News, you will see, in its issue OF
this morning, has this significant paragraph:
preliminary steps are being taken by the friends
Of Peace to cali a National Convention of the
Democracy, to place in nomination candidates
for President and Vice President"
The "preliminary steps, above referred to
are understood to be, first, correspondence
between the Woods here and the Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee; the former
vention, and the latter begging leave to de.
cline; second, the consideration of a call from
the party Of the second part upon all delegates
TO that Convention who are in favor of the
platform, to assemble in the same city to nomi.

dent and third, the appointment of q commit.

The Enemy MOVING on our Left.
The United States mail steamer John Brooks,
which left City Point yesterday at 10 O'Clock q.
m, arrived here this morning at O'Clock.
She reports that nothing of importance was
transporting at the front when she left.
There are fresh indications, however, that
the rebels are moving on our left, either for ag-
gressive purposes or with view to prevent a
similar surprise TO that they received on Fri
day night
Since Saturday last their outposts on our left
front have been strongly reinforced.
Deserters say that Lees army has been late
ly strengthened by reinforcements from vari-
Gus points, and by large number of con-
scripts, dragged, as Grant says, from the era
die and the grave. These conscripts are the
poorest fighting material the Confederacy has
vet had, and their Off are compelled to
keep a watchful eye upon them, as they seize
the first opportunity to desert. -Z
Hills corps has received large accessIons Of
conscripts, which accounts for the numerous
assertions Of late from that corps.

that three rebel regiments at Galveston had

refusal of the commanding officer to issue floor
to the men, when there appeared to be abun-
dance in the hands of the commissaries, and
when the officers drew regular rations. Gen.
Magruder made f1owery speech and bacon
