GsPe'ial Despatch to the Cleveland Leader.l
BALTIMORE, June Z.
The Convention, after prayer was over,
got into an extraordinary tangIe about
making up its list of memb rs, and dcz-
ea ambitious gentlemen tried to air their
knowledge Of Parliamentary rules 10 the
infinite disguise of the Convention. FL
nslly ell the States, about which were no
dispute, were called, when two sets ofdel-
egates from Missouri, were called, and
their credentials were referred to
the Committee without placing
either named on the list. Then came an
other fight TO yet the rebel States and
Territories called. ThAd. Stevens opposed
it on the ground that it would be virtual
admission Of their right to cast electoral
votes for the President.
Jim Lane made a demsgcgue speech in
favor Of the gallant State Of Arkansas
and other gallsnt rebel States.
Horace Maynard, frpm Tennessee, with
others from Arkansas, Virsinis and other
rUbei sts'esI Ploed 70. tIV PriVrIvg1 OF
hlving their States called, and told
what they had done for the Union,
spostrophizsd the flag and asked them il
they meant to strike out some Of its stars
and SO by sheer force Of buncOmb, forced
their names to be called and had their
credentials, which generally consisted
simply Of q sheet Of paper with their
names written on it, referred to the
committee. This action is not supposed to
be likely 10 influence the subsequent sd-
mission of the votes of these bogus dele
gates, but it is, nevertheless, deeply re-
GREETED by leading men.
Mr.. Breckenridge's speech was that Of q
fsrvent, great hearted, generous, eloquent,
Kentucky preacher, his speech was en-
Enthusiastically spplauied throughout, but
there fwers certain sentiments that
revoked such special applause as
TO be particularly noteworthy
as furnishing the key-notes Of the Con-
vention, and feeling thus, his declaration
that in ell times the only cement for the
institutions Of any government had been
blood of traitors against it, was received
with prolonged cheering; SO his beautiful
deduction from it that every battle added
q decade or q century to the life Of the
nation and fr edom OF our children; SO,
too, his declaration that there could be no
destiny for the traitors but fight or ex-
termination.
His references to Mr.. Lincoln and assert.
ing that his election was as cert sin as his
nomination was already assured, and his
few eloquent words for Kentucky and
Kentucky lOyslists when the old man took
his seat a soene Of enthusiastic uproar
showed with what affectionsts regard
the convention regarded his honsred Ken
lucky name.

WAsHIaoToN, June Z.
Our news from the Army OF the PotO.
mao is up to Sunday evening. Ths bat
ties Of last Friday is admitted by ell to
have been one Of the most desperate, and by
far the most important Of any during the
present campaign in Virginia. Its result
viii materially change the plan Of future
operations. Curiously enough it was
fought on almost the same ground which
two years ago proved the turning point in
MeClsIlsn's campaign.
The 18Th Corps, under General Smith,
had just made its junction With the Grand
Army, and everything seemed to bs ready
for decisive stroke, and it must be con-
fesss that not without some dissppOiat-
ment did the evening Of that evsntful
day show our noble army advanced toward
Richmond, scarcely q half-mile, with an
unconqusred and defiant enemy in front.
Since Fridays battle there has been
material change in position except our
line which was then facing southwest is
now almost directly west while that Of

the enemy forms a triangle covering Rich.
mOnd with its base.
Hancock still holds our left and his line
extends to Dispatch Station. His flank is
protected by Sheridan.
Oar right stretches along Bethesda
Churoh Road with Wilson's cavalry on the
nank.
In our front the enemy's brsastworAu 8
stand out bold as ever, and each movement
on our part is closely watched. At night
our men are put to spade and thus dig up
towards the enemy foot By foot, throwing
up works as they advance. At some
points along the line scarcely one hundred
yards seperate our breastwOrks from those
OF the senemy. Whenever q head is shown
it is pi'ked of BY shsrpshooters. Thus
constant skirmish is kept up and our loss
Of valuable officers by this means can tsC-
tify how destructive it is.
Saturday evening the enemy planted q
battery directly opposite General Smiths
headquarters, and for short time kept up
furious esnnOnading. It was rather
warm around headquarters Tor while,
but IS usual little damage was done. Tie
prompt response Of our batteries soon
convinced the rebels that tour flag was
still there"
On Sunday morning the artillery dual
was again commenced, and rambling
are was kept up during the greater part
Of the day. At dark, Sunday evening
the rebels opened heavy FIRE on our left
for half an hour. The musketry was ter
rife and it seemed thst the rebels were
about to make q general attack, but later
developments indicated that they were
making efforts to turn Hsncock's fank,
which, however, they utterly failed to do.
There was much more noise than loss Of
life in this attack, as is the case Of most
night engagements. The enemy keeps .
sleepless watch over all our movements,
and the least stir Of our lines is sure to
draw rebel FIRE.

The First Day at BaIrimore,


In our Baltimore specials and in ths
regular dispatches to the Associated Press,
our readers will find the proceedings Of
our National Union Convention fully and
clearly detailed. Although no decisive
and important action has yet been taken,
TIE Convention has set about its business
in such 6 manner as gives assurance to
every loyal soul that it will perform its
difficult duty we'll. Hon E. D. Morgan,
Of New York, called the Convention to
order, and the Rev. Robert J. Breckinridzs

delivered most appropriate speech on
assuming the chair. The usual Commit.

DsnnisOn Of Ohio, with an excellent list Of
Vice-PresideDts, among which We note The

Of Governor DennisOn as presiding fficsr
Of the Convention is q most excellent one,

Long before twelve o'clock, Front Street
Theatre was jsnmed in every corner, del

noon, ssnstOr Morgan appeared on the
stage and cal ed ths Convention to order
and MAZE 9 brief speech, Of which, IS we'll
ss Of all other proceedings the Associated
Press promises TO furnish full reports.
1t was scarcely judioiOus effort, and its
assumption that the Union party was the
old Republican party was essentially
miscbieVous. The most signia,snt fes.
ture Of it was the declaration that By Con-
sti(utiOnsl amendment slavery should be
forthwith abolished throughout the Unit:
ed States, which was signal for an in
stsntsneOus outburst Of prolonged sp-
pie sc, the whole Convention and audience
even rising, shouting, waving handker-
shicfs and making every possible demon
straiion Of enthusiastic applause.
The name Of Robert J. Breckenridge
was signel for similar enthusiasm, and
as the old grey headed veteran appeared
on the platform the whole assembly rose
again and gave three cheers for the old
war horse Of Kentucky.
The radical delegation have prepared
paper to present to the convention, which
concludes as follows:
We are firmly impressed that It is q set
tied conviction Of the people we represent
that they and the entire Unconditional
Union element Of Southern States have
had from the South no fair representatives
