by advance of I'd Corps, which compelled enemy

affirmed preference for denomination of Presi
dent Lincoln asks all War Democrats to rally
at Baltimore on 4th to impress on Union National
Convention the justice, expediency and necessity
of nominating Daniel S. Dickinson for the Vice |
Presidency.
Fremont has resigned his Major Generalship.
His resignation has been accepted by President,
as also that of Gen Buell. who it is understood
resumes original position in regular army ms
Colonel and Assistant Adjutant General
Aslong letter from Fremont accepting nomi-
nation of Cleveland Convention thus concludes
If Convention at Baltimore will nominate any |
man whose past life justiiies well-grounded con-
6dence in his fidelity to our cardinal principles,
there is no reason why there should be any d.
vision among really patriotic of the country.
To any such l shall be most happy to give cor
DIAL active support. My preference is to
aid in this way, and not be myself candidate,
but if Lincoln is re-nomnated it will be fatal to
country to indorse policy of repeal power, which
has cost thousands of lives, there will be no al
tentative but to organize against him every ele-
ment of conscious opposition to prevent mlsior-
tune of reelection This is the contingency on
which accept nomination, and have resigned
my position in army. This sacrifice gives me
pain, but l make it only to regain liberty OF
