Mn. unRnrs ON MCCLELLAN.

In the Peace-disunion Convention at Chi
cago, on Tuesday last, Mr.. Harris, repre-
sentative of the Copperhead democracy of
Maryland, spoke as follows, upon the nomi-
nation of Gen. Mcclellan for the Presi-
dency
Mr.. b. G. Harris, of MARYLAND, seconded
the nomination of Thomas ii. Seymour, and
proceeded to eulogize his party services and
abilities. MIR. Harris continued as follows (:
One man named here to-day is tyrant--
Ieheers and Kisses He who first initiated
the policy by which our rights and liberties
we're stricken down; that man is George h.
Mcclellan. Confusion. Maryland, which
has suffered so much at the hand of that
man, will not submit to his nomination in
silence. His offences shall be made known.
This convention is jury appointed by the
people to pass upon the merits oil public men
whose names may be presented for the sup
mort of the great Democratic party. Gene
| raj Mcclellan, / repeat, is atyrant. Great
confusion. lie stood here 10 indicate him
Ia delegate-"I call him 10 order."
Mr.. Harris read McClellan's order Of ar
rest againt the Maryland Legislature, and
proceeded to comment upon the same, but
The confusion was so great that the speaker
could not be heards except to say all the
charges of usurpation and tyranny that can
be brought against Lincoln and Butler he
can make and substantiate against McCel-
Ian. [Hisses, cheers, and cries of "Yote foi
jeff. Dayisp'l
Mr.. Harris proceeded to say that McClel
Ian was an assassin of State rights, a usurpel
Of liberties, and, il nominated, he would b'
beaten everywhere, as he was at Antietam
He added, he could not go home and ask the
members of that Legislature to vote for sucl
a man. He would not himself vote for him

MIR. LONGS OPINION OF McCLELLAN
AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

AND THE DEMOCRATIC PLATEoRM.
In the Chicago Convention, last week.
Mr.. Long, representative from Ohio, OPP
posed Mcclellan as tyrant and the plat
form as u weak concern. lie is thus report
ed in the papers =
Mr.. Long, of Ohio, took the stand in op-
position to Mcclellan. He said Lincoln
had been guilty of interfering with the free
dom of speech, the freedom Of election, and
OF arbitrary arrests. He continued: In your
resolutions you have arraigned him before the
people of the country for these tyrannias
and usurpations; and yet you propose TO
nominate man who has gone even farther
than Lincoln in perpetrating similar tyrnani-
cal measures upon the sacred privileges and
rights of the people. Mcclellan is guilty
of the arrest of the Legislature of u soyer-
eign State. He has suspended the writ Of
habeGs corPys, and helped to enforce un odous
emancipation proclamation Of Lincoln; the
willing instrument of corrupt and tyranni-
cal Administration, aiding, while possessing
military power, all its efforts to strip Ameri-
can freemen OF their dearest liberties. VIII
you SO far stultify yourselves as TO make
him the standard-beurer of the Democracy?
With all his heart he hoped not. He had
never done otherwise, and as between Lin
coin and Fremont, and any man calling
himself even half Democrat he would have
a choice, and would be found voting with his
friends; but he begged the convention not
TO nominate Mcclellan.
Almost any other man who claims to be Il
Democratwould satisfy him and would satisfy
the Northwest. Weak as is your platform
in many respects, We will stand up and do
all in our power to maintain it but in
Gods name, do not add to its weakness by
placing such man In nomination.

official report Of the capture of Atlanta has Just
been received by this department. 1t is dated
tWenty-six miles south of Atlanta at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning, but was detained by the
breaking Of the telegraph lines, mentioned in
my despatch Of last night.
"As already reported, the army drew from
about Atlanta, and on he Both had made break
Of the West Point road, and reached a good posi-
tion from which to strike the Macon road The
right (Gen. HoWard) near Jonesboro, the left
(Gen. Schoefeldl near Rough aud Ready. and
the centre (Gen. rhumasl at Couch's. Howard

"HOOd, at Atlanta, finding me on his road, The
only one that could supply him, and between him
ard q considerable part of his army, blew up his
magazinel in Atlanta, and left in the night time,
when the twentieth Corps, Genera Socum, took
possession Of the place, so Atlanta is ours and
fairly won. Since the 9th of May we have been
in one constant battle or skirmish and need
rest.
''Our loss will not exceed twelve hundred, and
