DEsERTERs FROM THE DRAFr TO BIZ
papss pD ~... d a...sn SERvIcI.--The
deserters from the draft who have taken
refuge in Canada to escape military duty
here have recently been attacked by the
military authorities there, and find them
selves very much like Noah's tirst dove -.
Under the laws of the United States, it
they return here they will be treated As
deserters; If they remain in Canada they will
be pressed in the military service. Here
is the order of the British authorities: Y 20.

The Chicago Convention.

The following letter from gentleman
in the West to his brother in this city, has
been deemed worthy Of publication. 1t
gives some account Of the manner in which
McCLELLANs nomination was made, and
presents very encouraging view of his
chances of success.
Your favor dated August 23d, 1864, has
been received and the contents duly noted.
| have been absent at the great gathering
at the Chicago Convention, and witnessed
the nomination of General Mcclellan and
Pendleton 10 the Presidency aud Vice Press
dency. Such gathering as met there, has
never been witnessed on this continent be-
fore, and may never be again. There were
fully 1000 persons in attendance; 233, :
900 were reported as coming in by Railroad,
some thirty large lake steamers crowded,
and thousands of wagons, buggies and car.
riages briuing unknown numbers. You
can thus form some opinion of the immense
numbers present. The prayer of all that
vast multitude was one united joint prayer
for peace, and for the reconstruction and
restoration of the onion by peaceful and
fraternal measures. rt
The nominations Of MCCLELLAN was made
by four distinct and separate organizations.
First, the National Unien Conservative
men, the remnant of the leaders of the gal,

hundred delegates from every State, North
and South but four Next came the Union

Charity and BrotherIy Love.

"If could only believe that he was sin
cere.'' Such were the words Of Christian
church member respecting faithful and
able minister in another church, who had
been accused of disloyalty by an unscrupu.
lous enemy. The best evidence which it
was ossble to give, had been afforded, and
the member was convinced that in wordand
act the proofs of apparent loyalty were
conclusive. But yet the weapon OF the
slanderer had burned too deep a scar in the
good name of brother, to be efaced by
simple external evidence. Perhaps years
of proved devotion to his country by this
injured man, would not dissipate the i'm
preston made upon the mind, by this un
Just accusation. 1t is q sad failing of our
poor humanity that We are more ready to
suspect wrong and to doubt virtue than to
trust the sincerity and general good iuten-
tion of our fellow men. But how much
pleasanter, how much more Christian is the
rule of the venerable elder: always to
find an excuse or explanation for tho deeds
and words Of Others never to excuse him
SELF Ce
In these days of excitement, the charge
of disloyalty is like the cry "mad dog
once let it be started, even by fool who
"throws tirebrands, arrows and death, and
says, cam not in sport ?" and there is no
limit to the mischief which it may work In
a community. And after the charge is
once made, there are multitudes of good
men who will never be convinced by any
acts or W prds that it is unfounded.
1t is not necessary in order to prove our
patriotism, that we should play the spy
upon our brethren that we should sus
pect every action that we cannot readily
explain, of traitorous intent; that We
should see treason lurking ini every politi.
cal opinion different from our own, and call
him lukewarm or disloyal who is not loud
mouthed and frequ,nt in professions easily
made and deeds that involve no sacrifice.
Though We are as nation engaged with
all our might in the effort to put down a
rebellion that has brought upon US a frstri-
cdal war, may we not apply the apostolic
injunction at home, to "let brotherly love
continue ?" Suspicion and distrust awaken
enmity, and we have too much reason to
dread this enmity at home, this divided
heart, this faltering Zeal growing out of
injustice and false accusation, to permit
manifestations of this spirit to pass unre-

FROM ARKANSAS.
Gen. Price army is reported at Pocahontas.
The Confederates are reported at Chalk Bluff,
and four hundred at Kenneth, preparing for an
attack on Bloomfield. Gen. Shelby is reported
at Powhatan, with from four to eight thousand
men. A dispatch from st. Louis announces a
fight on the 10th, at Powder Mill Little Rock,
Southeast Missouri, between detachm ent
Of the Sd Missouri militia, and portions of
Gen. Shelby's command. The Federal loss
was twenty killed and wounded. A Conteder-
ate colonel it is said, was wounded 1t is re-
ported from Duvalls Bluff that the Federal
General Mower had arrived there, with por-
ton of the 10th corps. With this accession of
force. it is stated that Gen. Steele would be
able to take the offensive. Between thirty and
forty of the Sd regular cavalry were captured
fifteen miles from Little Rock, on the 9th, by
the Confederates
The western maritime Provinces Of British
North America-Nova Scotia, New Bruins
wick. and Prince Edward Island-met on the
lst Of September to deliberate upon the expe-
aieuoy of forming Union. Delegates We're
present from Canada, East and West, and the
debates Of the Conference took a wide scope,
and included the consideration Of general
Confsaeracy Of all the Provinces. The feeling
in behalf Of such Confederacy is strohg in
the Canadas, and it was affirmed by the Con.
ference, which favored Union provided one
could be satisfactorily arranged. The Confer.
ence was to reassemble at Halifax during the
present week, and subsequently General Con
terence IS to be held in Quebec. ltseems like.
ythat plan of Union may lie agreed upon
and laid before the provincial Parliaments.
The most serious opposition is in Canada East,
where the French element is dominant

that the boat would sink in ten minutes. and'
whilst almost all expected instant death, the
boat still under way, and sinking, settled on

reaching the upper deck, and all were rescued
from drowning.
