A Vivid ImagInnrIsn absut the FremOBs

Convention.
All the signs 20 TO show that the coming
Cleveland Convention will be 8 most
formidable gathering. Our Albany COR
respondent, who has excellent means for
knowing, states that there will be from
Missouri alone two thousand delegates, of
whom one thousand will be from the city
Of St. Louis.
The above from the New York World is
9 sample Of the kind Of putting bestowed
upon the Fremont Convention by the cop
perhesds. There is not particle of truth
In the statement and it is published merely
to assist in swelling the numbers. The
city Of Cleveland is IS yet in almost utter
ignorance Of everything appertsining to
the convention. No hall has been en-
gagged, unless it hss been done within 3
few hours past; no demand for places at
the hotels is apparent and those best pre-
pared to know anything in regard to the
convention, estimate the number that will
attend at 300. There wiz, no doubt, be
many in attendance who are here merely
for curiosity, but the whole affair prom
ises to be as complete hEzle as has Oc-
CURED for many years. The movement is
engineered throughout by few 5ermsns

ALBANY, May q
The quarrel in the "hsppy family" at
Syracuse is producing its fruits. The
delegates to the Cleveland ConVentiOn are
now beginning TO move toward their place
Of assemblsge, full of confidence, in view
OF the next demonstration or weakness on
the part Of the Lincoln state convention.
EK Judge Hubert and Brace Millerd, with
Others, will represent Albany county
John Occhrsne, r. b. Carroll, and others,
will represent the State at large Comp
roller Robinson is detained here by the
illness Of his son.
A telegram from st. Louis, just received,
s1ates that one thousand delegates will be
present from that city, and as many more
from the State Of Missouri at large. From
the western part o. the state
large delegations will be present
Governor John A Andrew, Of Massachu-
selts, is among those named for Vice
President with Fremont A partial move
ment in favor Of Grant, and threat on
the part Of the administration to pack the
convention by means Of it's agents, give
interest to the occs ion. The effect Of
this demonstration will be significant
throughout the entire West, and the dam
age to the Lincoln interest corresponding
Il great. Especially will this be the case
if Mr.. LineOln's friends attempt any in
reference with the purposes Of the con
vention or endesVor to SOW diss, DsiOn
smong its members. Should General
Grant schieve victory over Lee within q
/ few days, it is not impossible that he viii
be presented as the most available csndi-
date, and in that case, Fremont may be
thrown overheard entirely. The admins
trstiou party are using their utmost en-.
beavers to disturb the hsrmony Of the
convention, but it is b leved that they
will fail. ----- -
This blaze Of enthusiasm" will culmi
nate in rather slim affair. The arrivals
at the different hotels are no greater thai
usual, ami from sll we can learn up to las
night, not more than twenty or thirty del
egstes had arrived. The two Thousand
delegates from Missouri exist only in tn
bright realm Of the imsginstiOns Of som
soreheSd Fremcaters or COpperish Demo
Gratis. The indications are that the Con
vfntiOn will prove magnificent failure
in spite Of the efforts Of the uOnomanis
"Nation" and its COpPerhead cOsempOra

Carping ut Generals In the Field.
Although we are not of the number who
suppose that the sctioos Of our generals
in the held, cannot often be intelligsntly
criticised, though the critic may not have
gone through West Peint yet We cannot
approve Of "a olsmor founded upon de
fective view OF sll the facts bearing on the
ease. The history Of the war has too free
quently illustrated the bad results Of i'm
patient and premature criticism. The
battle Of Chicsmsugs was an illustration
Of this. The real facts in the case, IS
published in oficisl reports, were very
different from those first spread out be-
fore the public. When sll the circum-
stances came to be understood, the tri-
unph of ROsscrans was recognised. Chi
