Lincoln Cannot Make Peace.

The events of the last three years have
shown that LINCOLN cannot conduct the
war to successful issue, and his Niagara
Falls letter proves that he cannot make
peace. The New Haven Chronicle (Ad

which he would listen to any communications
from the rebel government. His terms will
never be accepted by the South His Dro,os;-

confidence of all the UniOn-loving men
who have supported bis administration.

A BELLIGERENT PEACE MAN.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-When Mr.. Harris, of
Maryland, was walking towards his seat after
being declared out of order because of the re-
mark, that if Mcclellan was nominated he
would not support him. a person, delegate
although still sitting within the circle said to
him, " You ought to be turned out of the Con.
vention. you damned traitor" whereupon Mr..
Harris turned round and knocked him out of
bis chair.
This incident contributed much to the geu.
eral confusion which prevailed several minutes.
Tonight Harris, Long, and sympathizers with
them are making strenuous efforts to secure
one-third vote against Mcclellan, bat the
friends Of Mcclellan are sanguine. The con-
ciliatory and polite course pursued by Guthrie
on committee on resolutions seems to meet
with warm approval from the McClellanites.
and tonight he looms up strong candidate
for Vice President.

lur. j. Mepdetson, 81. Paul:
DEAR SIR: A messenger has just come in

this place were both killed by Indians at Whis-
ky Creek, few miles this side of Fort Aber-
crombie, On Monday the 22d inst. Their teams
ran off across the prairie followed by the In

A Mr.. Lustie Of this place was some distance
behind them when they were shot, and he
managed to return to the Fort and give the
alarm.
Major Adams Immediately dispatched sixty
men in pursuit of the murderers. The bodies
of both men are said to have been taken back
to the Fort and buried.
Sincerely regrettirg this unlocked for calarn-

Dissatisfaction with Lincoln.

The Winona Republican acknowledges
the great change that has lately taken
place:
Ihere is rapidly increasing dissatisfaction
with the administration, dissatisfaction prob
aoly much more manifest in the East than ct
the West. The military movements of the
present year have fallen very much below pub-
NC expectation; the draft which is approach.
Ing while 1t still hangs over the country causes
much uneasiness. and in many quarters much
d1econtsnt; the administration has made some
magntfed for party purposes till there are some
who really believe their rights have been
trampled on T; the burdens of war are becom-
ing more and more grievous, and the faint
hearted are beginning to despair. These facts
to take place in week, with war Democrat
opposed to Mr.. Lincoln, the contest would
probably be close one.
