The Late Fremont. Convention.

The present activity in war matters pre-
vents our paying much attention to the
doings of this radical Convention, which
met in Cleveland, Ohio, last week 1t was
a serio- comic sort of affair-a sort of mass
meeting, easily led by weak but persistent
men-a convention of no-bodies Its basis
was personal griefs, or resentments, we take
no interests whatever in the action Of it's
members.
This Convention was the pet bantling OF
the leading copperhead journals of the coun-
try, which they will find Of convenient use
in the coming campaign. It's fruits are the
nomination Of John G. Fremont for Presi-
dent, and John Cochrane Of New York, for
Vice President. i
The following from the Chicago Tribune
is appropriate and to the point:
"Hundreds of loyal men will breath
more freely, now that the protracted and
noisy travail Of few hundreds malcontents
is over, and the Cleveland bantling in the
arms of its wet nurses. The ticket is in
the field there is no more to be looked for
but that those who have brought Fremont
and Cochrane into the field fall to and sup
port them. The brew is a very small one !;
the baking will not be heavy. And who
are these men who have been forward into
this business? Every community from
which their sparse numbers, without form
of authority, with 10 credentials have been
drawn, can each locate and understand their
own falsely styled representative sore
heads ,implacable unappsasable malcohtents,
scolds by procession, with capabilities for
fault-finding muscularized by long prac-
tice.
We have ventured to doubt whether
Fremont will not diStrust his bed-fellows,
and decline to sleep in oblivion with John
Cochrane We do Mr. Fremont the justice
to believe he will think twice before he ac-
cepts the nomination"
Fremont has resigned his commission Of
Major General in the army and accepts the
nomination. Cochrane he's also accepted

Gossip About General Grant.

4 correspondent of the Boston Journal
gets off the following bit of gossip about
Gen. GRANT As all eyes are turned
toward him just now, as a second WASH
ISGToS-the saviour of his country in this
her great hour of need, we may get some
little idea of the characteristics of the MAN
from what is here said:
Many inquiries have been made about
Gen Grants politics. am happy to IN
form your readers from his own lips to
what party he belongs and under what ban
ner he marches. A near relative of his
has been passing some time in this city.
While with General Grant at the West, be-
fore he was made Lieutenant General, the
friend said TO him: General, have been
enquired of to-day about your politics"
"Did you give the party any infornation?"
was the quiet query. 81 did not, was the
answer, 'for | don't know what your poll
tics are" Knocking the ashes from his
cigar, the General continued: when | re-
sided at the South, had the opinions and
preiudices Of Southern people against the
Republican party. brought those opin-
ions and prejudices with me when | came
to Illinois. Had | taken an active part in
politics I should have been with the party
opposed to the Republicans. watched
Mr.. Lincoln's course, and was satisfied with
his patriotism. But these are not the times
for parties Indeed, in this crisis there can
be but two parties-those for the country,
those for its foes. | belong to the party of
the Union Those who are the most ear
nest in carrying on the war and putting
down the rebellion have my support. As
a soldier, | obey the laws and execute the
orders Of all my superiors. | expect every
man under me to do the same" When Mrs.
Grant left Washington for her Western
home she remained a short time il n. York
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Several gen
tlemen called upon her, and in the course of
the conversation congratulated her on the
elevation Of her husband, and expressed a
hope that he would be successful in this
campaign. Her whole manner, quiet, dig
nifed and reserved, seemed to express sur
prise that any one could doubt his success.
Pausing moment she replied: 81 have no
doubt but the General will succeed, for he
is very obstinate man. This remark
ended the conversation. A Galena neigh
Dor Of the Commanding General has been
stopping here some time and seems utterly
COMPOUNDED with the sudden growth Of his
neighbor, the farmer. He can't account
for it, for he was not marked man in his
home, and nobody supposed him great
man; he seldom talked, asked no advice,
gave none to any one, bat always did what
he agreed to and at the time.

During the past week there has been
some hard and determined fighting near
Richmond.
Official dispatches say that Warren
had gained a position at Shady Grove
Church, seven miles north of Richmond
which he was able to hold. The en-
gagement was short, sharp and decisive
A considerable number of prisoners
were taken and many rebel dead left
on the field. e
Abundant supplies are arriving from
White House. Our losses during the
last few days fighting have been small
and those of the enemy very large
Several hundred prisoners have been
taken. Details of the fighting on We'd
nesday and Friday, in the vicinity of
Cold Harbor especially, show it to have
frequently been Of most desperate
character, and the conduct Of our troops
whether making or resisting attacks,
most heroic, and their efforts successful
Everything appears to be working
we'll with Grant in his department, and
all accounts 90 to show that he is as
fast as possible investing the rebel capt.
tai, whose fall is only question of
time, as it was at Vicksburg, under his
determined generalship.
Correspondents give glowing accounts
of the determined valor with which our
men go into every action.
LEE is said to be in Richmond,
sick-worn out EwELL is in command
of the rebel army.
Desertions from the rebel army into
our lines are quite frequent and large.
SHERMAN is still making good pro-
gress in Georgia. Atlanta, will in all
probability soon be in his possession.
There is said to be great distress among
the dense rebel population that have
focked to that city .H1
Our forces are reported as occupying
Secessionville, near Charleston, S. c.,
and unless the rebels send heavy rein

city Will soon be in our hands
The news of the Union successes are
creating quite sensation. in England
A dispatch from STANTON dated yes
terday says: IAN assault was made on
Burnside about midnight and success
fully repulsed. On the proceeding after
noon one hundred picked men of the
enemy made a rush to find out what
was the meaning of Hancock''s advanc-
ing siege lines. Nine of the party were
captured and the rest killed or driven
back"
On Saturday last the rebels attacked
the I'd corps and a portion of the 9th
corps, but were handsomely repulsed
after desperate struggle. They adj
vanced to the attack several times, and
each time their line was cut to pieces
In the attempt to reach our works their
loss must have been fearful, for our men
shot them down at short range. while our
batteries moved them down in masses.
Our loss was very slight.

Great Grant Meeting in N. York

A monster meeting of upwards $4,000
people was heldin Union Square, n, y, on
last Saturday evening to express their
feelings of gratitude to Gen. Grant and the
brave armies fighting under him. The
greatest enthusiasm prevailed. A number
of addresses were made by prominent
speakers. A number of resolutions were
passed speaking of Gen. Grants successes
at Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, Chattanooga,
and in the present advances of the Poto-
mac Army and the Army of the Cumber-
land, and close with declaration of unal-
terabie determination to unite in the prose-
cution of the war with all vigor and
might.
The following letter from Presided Lin
coin was read at the meeting
