Mr.. Otes, the General Superintendent OF the
Overland Mail, has reached Washington for
the purpose ofrcpresenting to the officials the
condition Of affairs on the plains. The Sioux,
Cheyennes, Arapahoes, and Neowas, are all
hostile, aud according to the report Of friendly
Indians they number from I've 10 eight thous-
and warriors.
In addition to the lndiscriminate massacre OF
whites, by the most shocking modes, they have
destroyed at least one million dollars worth OF
property, including emlgrant trains, and have
taken possession of all the ranches between
Julesburg and Fort Kearney, a distance of 200
miles, and $50 miles Of this way, TO the Big
Sandy; the wires Of the Pacific Telegraph Com
pany have been cut, and emigration rendered
insecure, excepting in large bodies.
Denver and other settlements are al present
sustained in their supplies from the States.
The Indians say that the country belongs to
them, and that they intend to drive out the
whites. This seems to be the only argument
for their warfare. As in view of this fact con
ciliation is at present out Of the question. Thost
who have the best knowledge OF all the attend
ant circumstances are suggesting that Genera
HRrney be placed in command Of forces which
can easily be rallied under him TO carry on hos
tilitles against these savages.

on the balcony of his hotel amid the cheers of

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.1
HEADQUARTERS ARMY or the PoToMNC,I
August 2e-Evsning. I
The reports Published In some OF the news
paper that the losses of the 9Th corps on the
battles Of the 18Th, 10th and 2lst Of the present
month reach five thousand, greatly exaggerate
the facts. II Ia now definitely ascertained that
they do not exceed thirty-elght hundred; and,
as stragglers aud others still continue to come
In, and the sick are not all accounted for, II Is
believed that the aggregate loss In all these
engagements will not exceed thirty-hye hun
dred.
The loss of the ID corps In Thursdays fight
Will not exceed an aggregate OF 800, accord;
Ing to the official statement; and II Is hoped
and believed that when all who are now within
our lines report, 1 200 will cover the entire
loss.
The rebels are said to be using the Weldon
railroad below Ream's Station, and running
their supplies thence to Petersburg around our
left by wagon. As this requires a large force
for train guards, and to defend the road against
incurslons OF our cavalry, 1t cannot be either a
very proftsble or pleasant means OF communi.
cation, without taking into consideration the
loss OF time involved.
Arrangements have been made, It Is under
stood; for burying the rebel dead LEFT on the
field Of last Thursdays battle. The fact that
the enemy did not perform the funeral rites for
their own dead, nor carry of all their wounded
on that occasion, Is pretty palpable evidence
that, although they drove back our I'd corps,
they did not achieve any very complete OF
credltable victory.
To-day nothing Of importance has occurred.
The usual cannonading and picket firing was
rather more brisk and continuous this evening,
but without any results Of consequence.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3l-1 o'clock.-The conven-

was densely packed, and the crowd outside
greater than ever.
Immediately after the convention was called
to order, prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Haley,
Of Chicago.
Mr.. WickllfIe said the delegates from the
West were Of the opinion that circumstances
may occur between now and the 4th Of March
next for the democracy Of the country to meet
In convention again, and he therefore moved
the following resolutlonj which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That this Convention shall not be
dissolved by adjournment at the close of Its
business, but shall remain organized, subject
to be called at any time and place that the Ex-
ecutiye National Committee shall designate.
The President then stated the question before
the Convention to be on ordering the previous
question to proceed to the nomination Of a
candidate for the Presidency, and It was or
dered without dissent.
The vote was then taken by States, the chair
man of each delegation announcing the vote OF
each State as they were called.
The final result was announced as follows:

The New York Assistant Treasurer.

Yesterday we announced the definite ap-

Mr.. John A. Stewart, TO whom this office was
twice offered by Mr.. Chase, has for the pa0t
eleven years been associated with the United
States Loan and Trust Company, Of which he
was one Of the principal originators.
From his long and intimate relations with
Mr.. Cisco, as we'll as from his sterling integri.
ty, large financial experience, and eminent ad-
ministrative powers, Mr.. Stewart has been long
designated for this important position when
ever 1t should become vacant.
During Mr.. Fessenden's recent visit to New
York, Mr.. Stewart was again urged to accept
the office, and although It's emoluments are
considerably less than those of the Secretary.

The appointment Is regarded with favor by

Assistant Treasurer will enter, on the LIST Sep
