ANOTHER CoNvENTIoN.-The dispatch

another Convention, to be held at Buffalo,
N. Y The call, it is said, was written by
Henry Winter Davis of Maryland. Davis,
we believe, is Republican of the Thurlow
Weed school, and there is every reason to
believe that the Convention, if it shall
meet, will be composed of the old school of
Conservative Republicans, who are opposed
to interfering with the institution of slavery
in States where it exists. Th at element Of
the Republican party has not shown its
hand yet, and we are induced now to be-
lieve that it will do so in the Buffalo Con
vention. In that event, it will certainly
play Lincoln, Fremont and the whole Re
publican party out, The whole party will
be selected to stand out ito use one of
Lincoln's phrases. The Chicago Conven-
tion Democrats will now begin to look for

JEALoUs.-The Oregonian sets up terrible
howl about the Branch Mint being located at
Dalles. According to that puritanical sheet
no point other than Portland should have had
the Mint location-no other point it claims, pos
sesses such extraordinary advantages for the
Mint as that place. 1t proposes now to have
the bill locating the Mint at Dalles, repealed and
have Portland substituted. Rather than see the
Mint permanently located at Dalles it would,
most likely, rather not have any north of San
Francisco-so jealous is it. We venture to say
there is not miner or business man located
east of the Cascade mountains in the Columbia
basin but that prefers Dalles to Portland as
the Mint is now located. The fact that it was
difficult matter with the combined influence
of the Oregon, Washington and Idaho Members
of Congress to get the bill through should be
warning to all parties interested, that the bill
be let stand as it is. By next term of Congress
perhaps bill of this character could not be
passed in any shape. Outside the precincts of
Portland, we do not believe the people of Ore
&c favor of re->@itating this Mint
tiSh. If any body wo- ---r---~---7 -7ti e u IN s.
b. lg about the matterllt would be the people
in the mining districts east and northeast of
the Dalles, because the Mint is established SO
far down the Columbia and so far away from
the great mining center. To our thinking, the
Mint to have benefited the greatest number of
people, should have been located at Umatilla
City, or Walla Walla. Others claim that Boise
Citv shou1d have been the point. ANY one
of the places mentioned might justly lay claims
of superior advantages in this respect over
Dalles, to say nothing of Portland. Then why
should the latter place raise complaint? 1t
cannot justly do sor and when it does complain
it exhibits jealous and selfish disposition that
is far from being commendable. 1t is, in fact,
puritanical meanness.

THE CABINET FREAKs.-Since it became un-
of Cabinet officers in the event of Lincoln s. re-
election, the present incumbents have been
ridiculously uneasy and restless. They don't
seem to care now whether the Lincoln dynasty
shall hold the reins of power longer than one
term or not. The dispatches this week tell US
signed, that the announcement to that effect is
at least premature" We may infer from that
that there is hope that some of them will re-
sign. Chase's resignation didn't hurt any body
that we know Of except it did himself and there
isn't the least fear in the world that Old STAN
ton's-"Signed Stanton designation would
cause tears to be shed by any living mortal.
Blair is the best one of the whole lot and if we
could regret any of the Cabinet designations it
would be his. If these officers are honest
something they are not accused of being-we
cannot see what reasonable excuse they can
have for resigning, for they have controlled all
the leading measures of the Administration.
1t was suggested by anti-Administration papers
that Chase resigned because he had helped to
bring irreparable ruin upon the country-that
worse would follow and he sneaked out, with
out valid excuse, to let the odium of his miser-
able career and the wrath of hitherto deluded
people fall upon some other man. Perhaps
Stanton and some of the others may resign fol
these or similar reasons. 1t is pity that such
men as Fessenden-Chase's successor-who has
been regarded as an able, honorable and high.
minded man-should be held accountable fol
the miseries and folles brought on by unscru-
pulous tricksters like Chase. Whatever misfor
tunes befal the country from the ruinous effect;
of the measures of the old cabinet officers viii
attach in great extent to those who take theil
places If new cabinet officers could avert the
impending dangers and bring the old Ship o
State out right side up it would be credltable tt
them indeed, for it would amount to almost {
miracle under the existing state of affairs.

Union Men Close Up.

The enemy, under the direction and diction
of the Richmond Olgarchy, have completed
their arrangements for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the Union and the overthrow of the pres
cnt system of popular government which
was beq0eathed to the American people by
the patriots of the Revolution, They, in
accordance with the desire and instructions
Of their Richmond friends, have nominated
General Mcclellan. who was never known
to entertain an Independent opinion of his
own, and who in consequence would make
a supple and pliable tool in the hands of
political conspirators The Chicago Con-
vention spent all its wrath and denunciation
upon their own Government, with not one
word of even complaint against the Rebels.
They talked of restoring the Union, but at
the same time declared themselves opposed
to war against the bitterest foes of the Union.
They spoke of a convention of all the States
while the declaration of the Rebels who
control majority Of the Southern States, is
patent to every one that they will agree to
HolHhlS bul d "ltHuIa"di VI tHe government
forces from every place in all the Southern
States, and an unconditional recognition of
their Independence. With these facts be-
fore us, and a hundred others equally strong,
who cannot see that the Mcclellan party
mean disunion and cowardy submission
to the Southern aristocracy, let them attempt
to- deny it as they may? Union men, are
any Of you prepared to assist these conspir-
ators against your Government and nation
ality by voting for the weak and vain man
they have chosen to use as tool to effect
such base purpose? Close up your ranks,
heal all dissensons, and work with one
heart, and one mind, for on your efforts de-
pend The salvation Of your country. l.! the
Union men of this nation are true to them
selves, and to the sacred cause of liberty,
then the rebellion against free government
and christianity will go down in darkness
and blood. IT, on the other hand YOU, by
disafecton and fckeness, allow the friends
of Jeff Davis to triumph and gain possession
of the Government, unless they belle all the
promises they have ever made, the star of
liberty wanes on this continent and that of
slavery ascends. You have two choices,
and two only. You must either vote for the
candidates of Jeff Davis selection, or for
the Union ndidates-Lincoln and John
son. Which will you do?

Road on Thursday, the 18th ult., is nota.

Grant has evidently grasped the confederacy
by the throat, in this movement, as their
frantic efforts to dislodge our forces fully
testify. On Thursday, they made the fourth
attempt to drive Grant off, but still he holds
the road with a determination and power
most encouraging to our final success. On
Thursday afternoon the Rebels renewed the
attempts made on the Sunday and Frida, OF
the preceding week but this time more
desperately, more disastrously. and with
like failure. General Hancock's second
corps held the position attack ed at 4 o clock,
ON Thursday, by the whole of A. P. Hill S
rebel corps. The fight was severe. hand to
hand and the ground was contested almost
inch by inch, The Second corps appears to
have been gradually falling back, when the
Fifth came up to their support, and the for
tunes Of the hour We're changed. The enemy
withdrew from the field after sustaining fear
tul loss, leaving their dead and wounde ed
behind them. The battle lasted until dark.

war. The scene of the action is described AS
most awful to behold the rebel dead and
wounded lying in masses.

the 'waiing winds, and meadows brown and
sere " will be with us; soon the variegated
woods will invite our admiration by its beauty
and loneliness soon the merry songsters will
be gone from the groves, hedge-rows and
fields, and the gloom and silence of winter
reign everywhere.
Notwithstanding the season has been an
