vEIE AMERICAN CONFLICT.

fishers, Messrs. Geo. Sherwood & Co, Of
Chicago, the first volume of Horace Gree
ley's History of the Rebellion, which is now
issued and being distributed to subscribers.
The work is printed on fine paper, in a large
double column octave volume of 600 pages,

in the War and Navy Departments, ETC., to-
gether with seventy fine steel plate portraits
of prominent Generals and other distinguish
ed persons connected with the war, both
North and South.
Volume II, which will be published as soon
as practicable after the close of the war, we
arc assured will be in all respects fully equal
to volume I. ---------
In addition to the special value Of the
work as highly authentic record of the civil
and military operations Of this eventful era,
the great feature which will distinguish this
History Of the War from all others, and give
it a permanent value as work of the high
est authority for future reference, will be
found in its presenting deeper, broader,
more exhaustive exhibit of the train of CAUSES
which impelled to this bloody collision--the
conflicting IDEAS which rendered it inevita-
bic. ..

through authorized travelling agents, and in
no case is it sold in the Book stores.

THE National. Coppcrhead Convention
which was to have met in Chicago on the
4th of July, has been postponed till the Goth
of August. On this subject the Chicago
Tribune says:
The Coppcrhead pow.wow, miscalied a
National Convention, which was to have in.
| congruously mixed itself with the patriotic
associations of the Fourth of July, in this
city, is postponed until August Goth, when
it will probably assemble, unless then as now
it be impossible for the leaders of the party
to determine whether they shall favor peace
or war. 1t will be very melancholy that SO
many OF tho faithful are 10 go without any
principles until that time, but it is inevitable
Fremont must continue his patient wooinc.
Little Mack must wait few weeks longer
1t is sad but cannot be helped.
The reason of the postponement of the
Copperhead Convention is apparent. The
leaders dare not attempt to define their prin.
ciples at the present stage of the campaign
Ii they meet on the 4th Of July, and the
peace wing obtain the sway, and this is more
than likely, the possible success Of tho Union
arms in the field may instantly and fatally
sweep away the mud dams of these traitors
Vallandigham has come hack to engineer
this wing Of the party, delegate with full
powers in that body, and it is evident that
the Government intends to let him severely
alone to exercise such functions, as kind OF
political pole-cat. The Copperheads will not
| therefore, come out of their holes until about
the 18th Of September. So the grand snake
killing, the people are eager to set about, will
occupy only little more than one month
time enough indeed. But it will be grieyous
disappointment to multitudes OF the faith.
