Democratic County Convention.
9Bid for Germans.

The '1oyal' embodiment OF this city
wasa delegate to the late Miscegenation
Convention, at Detroit and doubtless
displayed in the graceful manner"
of declining to be delegate to Baiti-
more, as much shrowdness as he dis
played in the magnificent defeat en-
gineered by him at the late charter
election. 1t must be consoling to
'4Old Abe ." to know that his re-nomi-
nation is favored by men, who, living
m Republican precincts arc unable
upon their utmost effort to control a
moity of their own party. The Re-
publicans have indeed fallen from Dig
nifty and power, when such "Slmple
Simon" managers are allowed to
creep into its councils Mr.. Gage is
man whom we respect, but a politi-
clan of the DEMONSTRATING order, not
at all tolerablc, and if the Union is to
be saved, only to fall into the hands
Of such radicals, the deliberate
Judgment of the masses will be long
withhold, waving between total ruin
and abject submission to the everlast-
ing niger and Niger interests
Geo. +. Veon Fliet, the delegate elect
ed to Baltimore is quiet and harmless
German farmer, and the only sufficient
reason alleged for his selection to this
important position was given at the
Convention by the "loyal" citizen
who said ut must be done to conciliate
the Dutch vote i'll this District" We
very much mistake the earnest temper
Of our German citizens, if they are to
be bought with so poor "sop" only
TO be laughed at after election is over
The deliberate will not forget to con.
slider the past treatment received n
the hands Of these '1oyal' red-mouth'
and the taunts thrown at them subse.
auently, and wo have no doubt tina
this price of Mr.. Cages political trick
cry will fall rs far short of its mark
as did his call upon ''all supporters o
the present administration" to suppor
the Republican candidates at the late
city election.

The HeraM gives tho following ac-
count of the struggle for Taylor's
Bridge, over the North Anna:
When my last dispatch was written
a considerable force of tho enemy was
disputing our passage of the North
Anna. Gen. Laws division of Long
streets corps was posted in strong
earthworks between Long Creek and
the river, and seemed disposed to
hold Taylor's Bridge at all hazards.
1t poured storm Of shot and shell
from their batteries, when Gen. Bir-
ney with his division advanced. Colo
nels Pierce and Eagan with their
brigades, the 1st and I'd, made an as
sault ON tho enemy's works at q Il.
NJ on the Odd. The rihemen poured
a deadly fire into their ranks. They
charged on the batteries on the high
ground little TO the left Of the bridge
which secured the open space in every
direction, tearing up earthworks with
their whizzing missiles. The redoubt
was carried at the point of the bayo-
net and considerable numbcrof reb-
els were killed in the intrenchments,
while 40 were captured. This as
sault, which was made under the inn
mediate direction of Gen. Birney, is
considered n very brilliant affair and
Gen. Hancock has written him very
congratulatory letter. Tho 3D. and
9TH Michigan. Seth and l25th New
York, Doth Pennsylvania and 18th
Maine suffered moro severely than any
other regiments in the division.
Tho rebels when driven from the
rcdoubt and rihc-pits, rctreatod and
crossed tho river, many of them
swimming, the bridge being too much
crowded to admit Of their crossing
with as much celebrity as they desired.
The assault on Taylor's Bridge, span
ming tho North Anna, wasmade with
out loss Of time by the 4th Maine
The bridge was carried after q sharp
slSirmish and the rebels driven from
their position on the opposite bank.
At IL l.. NJ, tho enemy made sor-
tie from his works and ondcavored TO
retakc tho bridge, but after spirited
sldrmish Of about 20 minutes they
were driven back. AT midnight they
mado another attack with much
larger force, and drove our men from
