UNION sTAIE CONVENTION.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 6.
Nearly all the delegates to the Union
State Convention, which meets here to-
morrow, have already arrived, but the
number of outside attendants is not so great
as usual. Several names are mentioned
for the nomination of Governor. FentOn,
General Dix, Preston, King and Seymour
TremainI being the most prominent.
Mr.. Fenton seems strongest, being well
backed from most sections Of the State
General Dix has many adherents, but some
of these are changing, their action
being based upon rumor that
a telegraph was received from him to-day,
positively refusing to permit the use of his
name. A letter said to have been written
by him 20 Isaac Sherman, of New York,
pending the Baltimore nominations, is also
being made use of by the friends of the
other candidates. 1t is also alleged that in
this letter declining the use of his name in
connection with the nomination for Vice
President, he takes the position that, while
as a military officer of the government he
can support the administration, there is
much of its political policy with which he
differs.
New York again appears with double
delegation. 1t is anticipated there viii be
a sharp contest between the Weed and the
Radical branches of the party to secure =
majority of the new State Committee
There is likely to be greater strife on this
point than upon candidates
Among the notables present are Thur
low Weed, Horace Greeley, George Opdyke,
d. G. Littlejohn, r. F. Andrews, Ly-
man Tremain, and others.

Can't Answer.

We called upon the shOddy papers to
give US date and place where the Hon Geo
H. Pendleton, our distinguished candidate
for the Vice Presidency, ever advanced a
peace upon the basis of a separation.
They are silent as death. Cant they be
kicked or coaxed into an answer
Now Mr.. Plain Dealer; we set the fol-
lowing over against the above. What
viii you say to it2 Can you creep out of
it2
George 81. Pendleton made speech in
Congress on the 18th of January, 1861.
he afterwards carefully revised it, and had
it published in the Appendix to the Globe.
We quote from it the following passages:
My voice today is for Cancellation, my
voice is for compromise, and it is but the
echo of the voice of my constituents. I
beg you, gentlemen, who with me respect
the Northwest; you who, with me, repre-
sent the State Of Ohio; You who, with me,
the city of Cincinnati, beg you,
gentlemen, to hear that voice. If you will
not; if you find Cancellation impossible; if
your differences are so great that you can
not or will not reconcile them, then, gen.
tlemen, let the seeding States depart in
peace; let them establish their government
and empire, and work out their destiny ac-
cording to the wisdom which GOD has
given them"
Further along IN the same speech, he
says: I" If these Southern States can not
be reconciled, and if you, gentlemen, can
not find it in your hearts to grant their
demands; if they must leave the family
1 would signalize their departure
by tokens of love; would bid them fare
well so tenderly, that they would forever
be touched by the recollection Of il; and if
in the vieissitudes of their separate exis-
Lence, they should desire to come together
again in our common Government, there
should be no pride to be humiliated, there
should be no wound inflicted from any
hand to be healed. They should come and
be welcome to the place they now occupy"

HAsHINGTONIrEMs.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.
Rebel deserters brought hither from the
Army of the Potomac were released upon
taking the oath Of allegiance and furnished
with transportation as far North as Phila-
delphia.
These deserters represent Alabama, Flor
ida and North Carolina Regiments, and
several of them said they had either to en-
list in the rebel service or starve.
In the effort to fill quotas of towns an
undue proportion of landsmen have been
enlisted in the Navy, and to remedy the
evil an order has been issued restricting the
proportion hereafter to Is per cent, of the
whole number of enlistments. This course
is rendered necessary to prevent the accu-
mutation ola large surplus of unservicea-
bic recruits. Seaman, ordinary seamen,
fremen, &c, are still wanted.
The free Military Academy for the in
struction of applicants for the command of
colored troops, instituted in Philadelphia,
will be closed on the 18th inst.
During the last ten days the number of
men mustered into the army has averaged
5000 a day. On the I'd inst, 4,l36 were
mustered in, and on the Sd 1850 These
are the latest reports received. The num-
Der mustered in on the I'd inst, is probably
greater than has been mustered in for any
one day for nearly two year
Subscription to the 7-3G oan, reported
to the treasury department to-day, amount
to $4,000 and to the 1910 loan $4,000.
About $4,000 widows are receiving pen
sions, under laws passed with reference to
the present war.

FROM SOUTHERN PAPERS.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.
The Richmond Sentinel of Saturday,
says;
Official advices from General Forrest to
the lst inst, have been received here.
He says the enemy evacuated the Mem
phis and Charleston Railroad up to Mem
phis and that Yankee troops are moving
up the Mississippi River, en- route to Vir-
ginia and Missouri.
Governor Vance, of North Carolina, has
issued a proclamation, offering free par
don to the many deserters lurking in the
woods and mountains, and threatening the
extreme penalties of the law to those who
are caught, as well as against their aiders
and abettOrs. They are hunted like guilty
felons.
The Sentinel commenting on the Chi
cagO nominees says: Mcclellan who was
formerly decided war man, is represent
ed to have greatly modified, if not indeed
abandoned his belligersnt sentiments
The support given him by so many deeid-
ed Peace men lends strong confirmation to
the report and nothing would be easier
than for Mcclellan to reconcile a declara-
tiOn for peace in the present state of the
question, due as he may suppose, to Lin
coins mismanagment of the war, with his
past speeches in favor ofwsr.
OF Mr.. Pendletons position there is no
uncertainty. He is an ardent peace man,
and the fact that such man was nomina-
ted, is a strong proof that McClellan's po-
sitiOn cannot be widely variant. The con-
test which now commences will be brief
but violent Two months will close it and
decide which shall rule Perhaps there
are no two public men in the United
States separated by greater animosity
than exists between Lincoln and McClel-
Ian and their respective partisans. There
is probably no one by whom Lincoln
would not prefer to be beaten than by Nc
Clellan. This will add venom to the con-
test.
In another article the Sentinel says: If
we have peace we must conquer it, and we
may conquer it speedily if we but perform
our duties at this juneture as we have hith-
erto. Let US not remit our exertions be-
cause the enemy seems much exhausted
and the prospects of peace seem improv-
ing That exhaustion will speedily disap-
pear, and he will prepare for new and
mightier efforts, if dampened zeal and di-
minished numbers on our part give him
room to still hope for conquest.
The prospects Of peace and Independence,
now so bright will fade away and vanish
if the ranks of our armies be thinned by
deserters, by the indifference or neglect Of
our home keeping people, or by the careless
discharge of their duties By the enrolling
officers -

FROM BALTIMORE.

BALTIMORE, Sept 6.
The Maryland Constitutional Conven.
ton completed its labors and adjourned to-
day.
The New Constitution will be submitted
to the people on the 18th of October.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore
American, dated Berryville, Va, sept 9Th,
says;
The enemy are still in Sheridan's front,
and as far as can be seen, there are no indi-
cations of Early's retreat up the Valley at
present.
The cavalry corps which left Rippon's
Store on Friday night has returned, hav-
ing ascertained that the enemy was in
strong force beyond the Opequan.
Recruits, and convaleseents from the
Hospitals, are arriving in great numbers
almost every day, and are being rapidly
sent forward to the front.
1t was expected that the enemy would
have attacked US in our position at Berry
vile, yesterday, and preparations were
made at the field hospital, for the recep-
tion Of 1000 wounded, but we were disap-
pointed, and your correspondent holdst 20
the opinion, that the enemy has no idea Of
assuming the offensive, bat viii to perfectly
content for the present with acting on the
defensive, and holding the Valley.

PROM AVER1LL's COMMAND.
NKw YORK, SCI

NEw YORK, Sept. 6.
The Heralds Bunker Hill correspondent
of the 4th inst says: Gen Crooks was at
tackled last night by the enemy, but re-
pulsed them. We took one hundred pris-
oners.
Herald's correspondent with Ayerill
on the 4th writes: Yesterday our opera
tions on Sheridan's right, and in the di-
rection of Winchester, were eminently
successful. About 1880 A. NJ, Lomaxs
Division Of rebel cavalry, then reinforced
to five Brigades, attacked our line one
mile north of Dsrkesville on the Win
chester Pike, Z miles south of Martins
burg.
The attack of the enemy was made
with great gallantry, but as gallantly re-
pulsed, although we had only portion of
the command engaged, and the offensive
party had three in action to our one. We
having for short time maintained the
defensive in order to allow the enemy
time to deVelope his strength, we took the
offensive and drove Lomax's whole divis-
ion at a very rapid rate over fields and
through woods; past rihe-pits and rudely
constructed breastworks, for a distance Of
nearly miles.
Arriving at this point the enemy at
temped to make stand, opening rapid
fire from his artillery and using his whole
cavalry force to prevent Us from crossing
Mill Greek, a small stream which crosses
the pike and empties into Opequan. The
engagement in this locality was of short du-
ration but usually spirited We charged
the enemy with aSportion of Powell's and
SchOonmaker's Brigades, and would have
taken his artillery had our men been able
to get across the Greek in the manner they
advanced. As it was, the enemy escaped
by the merest accident. In the action the
LIST Virginia Cavalry made special charge
of great gallantry, under Lieutenant Col
onel Charles E. Cophsrt, and drovethe en-
emy who were charging at the same time.
Having come upon the enemy's main force,
we skirmished during the rest of the day
while preparing for other movements.
Yesterday, wren we were fighting Lomaxs
division, Rhodes Corps moved down
to the attack with Is pieces of artillery,
but fell back during the night.
The enemy left on the field quite num-
Der of wounded, and many dead horses
Having passed over the road, the rebels re-
treated, we found the rebel loss very large
compared with our own.
