How HISTORY" is WRITTEN.-A week
ago Saturday night there was cannon
ade along part of Gen. Buffers lines,
springing up nobody exactly knows
how. An immense circumstance was
made of it by the correspondents, who
told how a fierce attack by the enemy
was gallantly repulsed, how our men
buried on the field 263 rebe.s killed in
the fight, and SO on,
A correspondent from the army writes
to US, however that in all that cannon
ade, so far as appears, mot the hair OF
a rabbit was scratched and he sums
up the little inaccuracies in the accounts
of this tremendous affair as follows;
~. Nobody attacked.
2. Nobody was attacked.
3. Nobody knows who began it.
A. Nobody was hurt

The Two MARCHEs.-Those who have
been following Gen. Grant with their
disparaging criticism should be remind
ed that their favorite declaration used
to be, that it was impossible to get to
the neighborhood of Richmond by the
direct route from the Rapidan. Gen.
Grant has disproved that, certainly
And now when the comparison of the
direct with the Peninsula route comes
up, it is sufficient to point to facts. In
1862, the army of the Potomac began to
embark for the Peninsula on the 18th of
March, aud it arrived before Yorktown
in the first week or April. 1t remained
there nearly month, and made its way
up to Mechanicsville, where our centre
now is, on the oath of May. Thus in
1862, 1t took very nearly ten weeks to
transfer the army from Northern Virgi-
mia to the vicinity of Richmond. while
this year it has taken not quite five
weeks. Or, if We throw out of account
the time spent in taking the army to the
Peninsula, then it took Gen. Mcclellan
three weeks longer to march his army
from Yorktown to the Chickahominy
than 1t did Gen. Grant to march his from
the Rapidan to the same point the
marching distance being about the same
in both cases. 1t can hardly be said that
gree ter reb resistance was made to the
fo' mer, W dch would seem to show that
either the Peninsula route is less feasible
or else that less energy was laid out in
overcoming its obstacles. Boston Journal

MONDAY, JUNE 8.
The baltimore Convention.

The Union National Convention as
sembles at Baltimore tomorrow. Since
the significant failure of the insignifi-
cant few who undertook ut Cleveland to
seem the popular current for Lincoln,
there seems little likelihood of further
attempt in that direction. For vice.
president the mostprominent candidates
now spoken of are Andrew johnson OF
Tennessee and ID. S. Dickinson of New
York. Gen. Dix and Joseph Holt are
also mentioned. With either of these
candidates, the people will be abundant
ly satisfied. While there would be a
propriety in nominating staunch pa
triot of slave state, it is probable the
nomination will be given to the war
democrats, and if so, Dickinson or Dix
seems now to be the man.
The only serious question that is at
all likely to arise, after disposing Of the
claims of certain territories and south
thern states to be represented, will be
as to the postponement of nominations by
adjournment of the convention. We
have been among those who have deemed
the adjournment advisable, for reasons
stated heretofore; but as the presiden-
tial campaign has been opened by the
Clevelanders with an attempt TO dictate
either the nominees or an adjournment
at Baltimore, it is not probable that the
convention will consent to be dictated
to in either respect.
No national convention ever before as
sembled with such prospect of unanim
ity as to presidential candidate.
The only cry the opposition can raise on
this point, is that. of government pat
ronage and intrigue. But patronage OF
intrigue, If used never did, does not
now, and never can effect any such
grand result Look at it -
Out of the 4S0 delegates chosen to the
Baltimore convention, 26S have been in
structed by the conventions electing
them to vote for Abraham Lincoln; anC
all the rest except the " from Missouri
were elected by conventions which with
out positively instructing them, passed
resolutions favoring Mr. Lincoln's re
nomination. Such unanimity rare as ii:
great, spread through so many difieren
states, could only come direct from
deep seated, universal and irrepressibl
conviction Of the people. If the will o
the people, exclusive of office-holder
and office, seekers, was ever obeyed il
the action of national convention, /
will be so at Baltimore, if Abraham
Lincoln is re- nominated.
The following is the number of dele
gates chosen by the states and terrific

RATHER MIxRD.-Speaking of Mrs. E.
Cady Stanton's recent announcement of
her political preferences, the Springfield
Republican says:
ave admire Mrs. Stanton's spunk.
She is gentleman of genius; she is
lady of parts; she has honorably achiev
ed wide influence among the gentler sex
of both genders. 1t is highly proper
that she should not only sign presi-
Dental call, but go into the convention
as a delegate, and take Others of her fe-
male brethren with him. Perhaps we
are getting the pronouns little mixed /;
what we mean to say is that this is a
free country, and is going to be freer,
and that every man and woman of eth
er sex has perfect right to speak her
mind and follow tine lead Of his Own
progressive ideas, and we hope she will
do it."

H A delegate to the Chicago Conven-
tion suggests in the New York Express
that that body agree ON platform, but
make no nomination of President and
Vice President, leaving that matter to
the Presidential electors in each State
In this way, he thinks, the whole oppo-
sition to Mr.. Lincoln can be concentrat-
ed, and personal attack on their can
didate be avoided. The Express thinks
the suggestion very important,
1t is certainly singularly important
confession of irreconcilable division and
irremediable weakness.

SULPHUR AND THE CArERrILLARs.-A

suggests that persons owning shade

at once bore hole in the trunk of each

pulverized sulphur and plug it up tight.
In short time the sulphur will spread
through all the branches, and the worms
will soon disappear.

FROM GENERAL BUTLER's DEPARTMENT.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has letter
from Fortress Monroe, May 81, which
says:
Yesterday, about noon, the rebels
made an attack on our lines having by
some means ascertained that Gen. Smith
had withdrawn therefrom and gone up
the York river. Believing our line to be
but weakly guarded, they thought it a
good chance to capture not only the
works, but those left to defend them.
The rebels moved down in solid columns,
but meeting with plentiful supply of
canister, grape and shell which passed
through their ranks with fearful rapidi-
ty, they wavered and fell back. After
several fruitless attempts to approach
our breastworks, meeting each time with
more severe rebuke, they skunk away
into the woods completely beaten.
