lspecial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.1
CScNSAT1, Wednesday. July 1s, 1864.
Alexander Long will be one of the dele
gates to the Chicago Convention from this
city. People who know him here are good
deal amused at the prominence given him in
other parts Of the country. He rates Us q
second class pettifogger, and never received
fee Of more than $50 In his life. Somewhat
of a rivalry has sprung up between him aud
VallaDdigham, and Long is regarded as the
bigger fool, but Vallandigham is By fir the
biggest rogue. -
The peace men have organized secret So
ciety for the resistance Of the drAft. They
aill have pleasant time resisting when the
draft Ia ordered.
All is reported quiet in Kentucky. slave
owners are gradually awakening to the belief
that 1t is better for them to have their dar-
kies shot than to be shot themselves, IN 1
will not be likely to resist the arming OF
slaves.
An effort is being made to get the Ohio
delegation to wait on George q. Pendleton,
az the Democratic nominee for President.

Guert]laa on the Ohio Rfver-T5ors
Thieves and DepredatIons.

LOUISVILLE, July 1s.-The banks Of the
Ohio river swarm with guerilla bands. Ev
cry steamer arriving from below brings re.
ports Of the operations of the thieviog gangs
at different points along the Ohio between
Louisville and Smith1and. Several days ago,
one of the horse-thieyes crossed from The
Kentucky to the Indiana shore, entered New.
berg, and stole mule from one Of the citi,
zeps. The act was extremely bold, and the
scoundrel repented his undertaking the next
day. A party Of the citizens followed and
captured him and the stolen property at
GrandvieW. He Was turned over to the civil
authorities for trial As the Ta1uscon passed
Newburg On her down trip on Friday fast, q
party Of fifteen mounted gnerillas made their
appearance on the Kentucky bank, as II they
intended to make an attack on the steamer,
The pilot Kept the boat close to the Indiana
shore, which placed her out Of effective
range of the guns of the guerillas. The
gang moved down the river bank, regulating
their speed according to that Of the Taras-
con. No opportunity was offered them to
make successful attack, and, on arriving; ut
sthe mouth Of Green river, they gave up the
4haee.
On Friday night banl Of guerillas camp
ed on the river bank opposite NeWberg. and
the citizens were very much alarmed, fearing
that raid would be made on the town. The
NeWberge1s were ont In arms on the watch
the entire night, and the village presented
decided military appearance. Morning
daWned, and the band broke up their en-
campment, without even attempting to cross
over and invade Indianaeoi.

They are no doubt doing all they can TO keep

Our FOR ABRAHAM LMooEN.-The st. Louis
Daily Union has run up its ensign for the next
Presidency, and it readss-"For President in
1864, Abraham Lincoln" The EDITORS reasons for
this choice are that he approves the past and pre-
sent policy Of the administration --subjugation,
emancipation. confscaHon, restoration and all.
But he especially supports Abraham Lincoln
because Of "his ardent personal patriotism, his
universally admitted integrity" his "unassum-
ing patience and courage" bis temperate use
Of the tremendous powers entrusted to bis
hands, and she plain, unpretending candor
which he has maintained amidst oil the fasci-
nations of that power" Now, in order to
shorten the argument we will concede oil these
good qualities to Mr.. Lincoln; but what do
they all amount to If he has proved his want Of
capacity to bring this war for the Union to q
speedy and triumphant endisgs For this great
purpose we want not only an henest man, but
capable mana man who knows how, when
and where TO strike the MOST telling and deci
sive blows upon the enemy. Such a man we
find in General Grant, aud therefore, in behalf
Of the people aud the country, he Is our man

TIN wAR-CnxEnn. GRANTS pG,S--It is
given out from Washington that General Grant
has submitted 10 the government his plan for
the prosecution OF the war with the resumption
Of active operations in the spring, and that this
plan comprehends q simultaneous movement
upon the enemy's works" around the entire
circle Of the rebellion. This is very simple
plan, and set the very plan which any military
mind governed by the solid strategy OF COM
mon sense would adopt. IL was the plan Of
General Scott, il was the plan Of General Nc
Clellan; but II never appears to have been the
plan Of the administration. except in the way
OF tinkering demonstrations, serving no other
purpose than thst Of weakening our forces
where they should have been strengthened.
We hope that President Lincoln will seel. for
and adopt the suggestions OF General Grant in
reference to the general plan FOR the coming
spring campaign; for in those magnificent com
binstions and movements which resulted In the
capture Of vicksburg, aud in those. too which
resulted in the terrible rout OF Braggs army
from Chattanooga. we have suf'ceut evidence
Of the ability OF General Grant to bring the
whole war TO speedy conclusion.

War on the Hydropathic Principle---
Military Railroads, &c.

WELDON ROAD, Va Nov. 25.-I have
nothing new to tell tonight, except to no.
tice the fact that our lines have continued
remarkably quiet during the past twenty
four hours, so much so as to be the subject
of general remark. No reason can be
given for it, for no new orders have been
issued, and the old ones regarding fring
continue still in force. The pickets have
become quite numerous. Our boys chaff
the "Johnnies" about their ''water works, a"
and the rebels retort by yelling "turkeys"
in reply. The recent operations of the
enemy in damming mp the creek on our
right bids fair to rebound to their serious
discontinue.
Their dam was situated in the base of
the creek, where it left our lines for theirs,
and afterward came back into ours. When
it was discovered by our men, a new dam
was built at the lower end of the land, and
then /" Plum Gut" canal dug, which re-
lieved Us of the superabundant water, and
SO threw the onus and the flood back upon
the rebels. From the fact that they can
not get rid of the aqueous element, and
that we are adding each day to the height
and strength ofOur dam, the consequences
to Lee threaten to be serious. It would
be comical, if, after besieging the enemy
so long, we drown them out after all.
The military railroad has been extended
for some two miles further to our left,
which extension was necessitated by the
length of our lines. The new station is
named "Patrick Station" We have now
Meade, Hancock, Parke, WARREN Hrney,
Patrick, and Cedar Level Stations. The
new part of the line is very curious one,
dipping into and crossing two or three
marshes, and rising abruptly over several
bills. At times the trains disappear alto
gether in the hollows. This railroad is
one of the wonders of the day, and proves
cOnclusively that cars can be run over
the rough country without much trouble.
BY the new extension much of cur tran
sportation has been relieved.

of distress. On nearing the Greyhound,
she was discovered to be on fire. Gems.

were on board the Greyhound, but the
steamer Pioneer came and took them off
Gen. Butler and his friends were at dinner
at the time. Suddenly the furnace-doors
blew open, driving the firemen, and enoi.,
neers from their rooms
The Greyhound was almost enveloped
in flames, and, Notwithstanding eyerv
effort to save her, she was burned to the
waters edge. Ten horses belonging to
Gen. Butler and staff were burned to
death. Shortly before the accident, tho
Greyhound had received from the steamer
Cossack the army mail for Gen. Buffers
department, which left Washington yes
terday morning, and it is supposed to be
lost.
