The Main. Democratic State conv.ntion.


Tho resolutions Of this body (ssys the Boston
TranScrip) are pertinent illustration Of the
way la which partisan rancor tends TO extin-
guish patriotic feeling. They contain not q
word Of sympathy or cheer for our soldiers in
the field, not word of rebuke for the armed
enemies Of the country, but consist of q long
rigmarole Of invect!ves against the Admins
tration for conducting "a fratricidal and CO.
lamitous war" by unconstitutional means for
unconstitutional purposes.
The spirit Of the resolutions is even worse
than the form. Their whole tendency Is 70
paralyZe the patriotism Of all they may innu-
ence. They will be read with satisfaction In
Richmond, because they indicate that . mi
norty in Maine is busy in getting up a nre
in the rear " Of the troops which Maine has
sent to fight the enemy. They should, In TACT,
be read in connection with what the Richmond
Se,ib,eI says Of the proposed rebel invasion Of
the North, which they will directly aid.

THE SITUATION ON JAMES RIVER

The hue occupied by troops, on the
north side of the James river, extends about
seven miles from the river, in the direction Of
White Oak Swamp, the right resting upon that
locality, according to our latest information.
By this strategic movement across the James,
Gen. Grant has compelled Leo TO extend his
line to that degree that there must be some
weak points In II, which Grant will probably
find. The line held BY our forces is already
entrenched so strongly that they cannot be
driven from them by the rebels.
There Is good deal Of marching and coun,
termarching Of divisions, and 1t is evident tha
some important movement is on foot near tn,
capital OF Dixie.

rs the evidence Of division in the Union ranks
that will ensure the easy victory Of the anti

ana consequently as ensuring the success of
the rebellion.
The Richmond Dispatch, in publishing the
circular, has long editorial (headed " North

which it recapitulates with infinite gusto al
most every p aragraph of the circular; styles it
an 'artfui address worthy of the most insin-

to vatienate the most hopeful results to the
Confederate cause from this movement against

FURTHER CONCERNING KILPAT.
KICKS MOVEMENTS.

NEW YORK, March 3.-The Herald's dispatch
from the Army Of the Potomac, of Feb. 29th'
says:
Fitzpatrick arrived at Spottsylvania Court
House about dark Monday. From this point
Col. DahIgren was dispatched to Fredericks
Hall, midway between the junction of the
Virginia Central and Richmond and Fred
ericksburg Railroad and Gordons Vile, where
the rebel reserve of artillery is parked. His
mission was to destroy the artillery roads and
telegraphs, and rejoin Fitzpatrick.
A later dispatch, dated March LIST, says the
expedition was heard from last evening. All
was going on we'll. Yesterday artillery firing
was heard in the direction of Gordonsville.
Fitzpatrick has dashed ahead, beyond the
reach of regular communication, and can only
be heard from via Fortress Monroe or rebel
sources.
