The Richmond Press ON the Chic ago Nom-
inatton.
me Richmond Sentine! of saturd

The Richmond Sentinel of Saturday says:
"a heavy battle is reported to have been
begun at Atlanta on the evening of Wednes-
day, and resumed on Thursday morning. Gen.
Hardee, with Gems. s. d. Lee and Cleburne, is
said to have begun the fight and gained some
advantage at first, but subsequently, Lost it.
Gems. Anderson, Patton, and Cummings are
reported wounded.
"Onicial advlces from Gen. Forrest to the
lst instant have been received. He reports
that the enemy have evacuated the Mem.
phis and Charleston railroad up to Memphis,
and that Yankee troops are moving up the
Mississippi river on their way to Virginia and
Missouri.
"Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, has issued
proclamation offering free pardon to the
many deserters lurking In the woods and noun.
tains, threatening the extreme penalties of the
law TO those who are caught, as well as against
their aiders and abettors. They are TO be hunted
down like guilty felons."
The Sentinel of Saturday, commenting on the
Chicago nominations, says
"McClellaD, who was formerly decided war
man, Is represented to have greatly modified,
il not indeed abandoned his bellgerent senti-
ments. The support given him by SO many
decided peace men lends strong confirmation
to the repOrti and nothing would be easier than
for Mcclellan 10 reconcile a declaration for
pesce In the present state of the question, due
as he may suppose to Lincoln's mismanage.
ment of the war, with his past speeches in favor
of war.
"Of Mr.. Pendleton's position there Is no un-
certainty. He is an ardent peace man, and the
fact that such man was nominated is a strong
proof that McClellan's position cannot be
widely variant. The contest which now com
meIces will be brief, but it will be violent.
Two months will close II, and decide which
shall rule-LincOln or Mcclellan.
Perhaps there are no two public men In the
United States separated by a greater snmosty
than exists between Lincoln and Mcclellan,
and their respective pnrtsans. There is prob
ably no one by whom Lincoln would not prefer
to be beaten than by Mcclellan. This will add
venom to the contest"
In another article the SntiJlcl SAYS:
"lf we have peace, we must conquer it; and
we may conquer 1t speedily If VIC but perform
our duties at this junclure as We have dis
charged them hitherto. Let US not remit our
GxertlOns because the enemy seems much ex-
haustCd and the prospects OF peace seem i'm.
proving. That exhaustion will speedily dis
appear, and he will prepare for the new and
mightier efforts If dampened zeal and dimin-
ishUd numbers on our part give him room to
still hope for conquest.
"The prospects of peace and independence,
now SO promising and bright, will fade away
and vanish ii the ranks of our armies be
lihnned by dcsertCrs, by the Indifference or
neglect Of our housekeeping people, or by the
careless d.sthaTgG Of their duties by our en-
rolling officers"

The Maryland State Constitutional Com
vention Closes its Labors

In the State Constitutional Convention of
Maryland, on Monday evering, a resolution of
thanks to President Goldsborough was unaul-
mously adopted. A provision was also adopted
for the holding of the election for the adoption
or rejection of the Constitution on the 18th and
18th of October In the counties ofthe State, on
account of every voter being required to take
the oath contained in the Constitution relative
to loyalty to the United States. On yesterday
a resolution was passed for the appointment Of
a committee to visit President Lincoln, to
confer with him respecting an appropriation
on the part of the Federal Government to the
State of Maryland, in accordance with recon-
mendations heretofore made by him to Con-
gress.
An additional resolution was also adopted,
requiring that before any person should re-
ceive any benefit from the appropriation given
by the General Government, should any such
be ever made, he shall take the oath presented
for voters In the Constitution. After the trans
action of some further business, the new Con
stitution was finally adopted by a vote Of 81
yeas TO 22 nays, sigued by the President, and
deposited in the Court Of Appeals, to await the
result Of the election in October, when 1t Ii
hoped that it will be ratified by the people {
Maryland by large aud unprecedented ma
Jority. President Goidsborough delivered al
able and patriotic address, alludlng to til
troubles brought on the country by slavery, &c
on the conclusion of which the Convcntio
adjourned.

FhshionableR Rebel Wedding.
From the LONDON Herald, August. 2ad. !

A letter from Baden Baden on the 18th inst,
says:
An interesting occurrence took place last
might at the Hotel de PEurOpe.
A young lieutenant in the navy of the Con-
fcdorate States of America, led to the hymenial
altar a young lady, a daughter of the heroic
city of Richmond. The bride, radiant In youth
and beauty, was sumptuously attired in cos
tune Issuing from the artistic hands of q re.
IOwned Paris mo diS!e.
The bridegroom, type of manly form and
)meliness, was dressed in the naval uniform
OF the Confederate States. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Mr. Flower, the English
chaplain.
A banquet was afterwards served to the as
sembled guests, in which mine host of the
EtOtCl dc pEurope surpassed himself-the coup
d'mR was fairy like, the vlands delicate, and
the wines of rich flavor.
Prominent among the guests was the cxp?es.
