The First Day at Baltimor e :.

In our b B,ltimore specials and in the
regular dispatches TO the Associated Press
our readers will find the proceed ngs Of
our National Union Convention fully and
clearly detailed. Although no decisive
and important action has yet been tax en-,
The Convention has set about its business
in such manner as gives assurance to
every loyal soul that it will perform its
duty well. Hon. +. ID. Morgan, Of New
York. called the Convention to order. and
The Rev. Robert J. Breckinridge, Of Ken.
,ucky,wa elected Chairman. The noble
and eloquent divine was received with the
greatest Enthusiasm, and delivered most
appropriate speech on assuming the chair.
The usual Committees on Credentials,
Permanent Organization, Platform, &c, =,
were appointed, and the Convention took a
recess.
On re.assembling. the COMMITTEE on
Permanent Organization reported, for
President Of the Convention, William
Dennison, Of Ohio, with an excellent list
Of Vice Presidents, among which we note
the name OF David Toll, Of Ohio. The
selection OF Gov. Dennison as presidin g
officer Of the Convention, is q most excel
.ent one, and deserved tribu'e. not only
TO the ability, skill and fairness Of Mr..
Dennison, but 10 the patriotism and devo-
tion Of the State Of Ohio.
! The Committees on Credentials and
Platform not being ready 10 report, the
Convention adjourned until this morning.
Psrson Brownlow, being present, was
called ont and received with tae most
unbounded demonstrations Of welcome.
His characteristic and powerful speech
will be found in another column.
| But far more i5niticant and propitous
! than these minor details OF business, is
The wonderful unanimily and enthusiasm
which ha' characterz ID the Convention.
Very significant was that "outburst OF
prolonged spE lause" with which the Con-
vention hailed the declaration Of Gov.
Morgan that slavery mast be forthwith
abolished by constitutional amendment.
The omens Of yesterday are most aa.
spicious. They presage tha, the Conven-
ton will do its work to-day easily ard
well. There will be little, il any, difficulty
about credentials. There will be no dis
pute about platform--for we shall have
radical and outspoken one. There will
| be no trouble about a nomination. iol

Nearing Richmond and Atlanta

Gen. Grant and Gen Sherman occupy
exceedingly interesting positions. Gen
Sherman is in as close proximity to Az.
lan,a as Gen. Grant is to Richmond; and
the fall OF it will only be inferior TO that o.
Richmond. Both are vital points in the
rebellion, and il is a remarkable coinci.
dence that both should be similarly invest.
et at the same moment. 1t is the result
of an arranged plan. and both the great
leaders have pushed the enemy steadily
before them with view to simultaneou:
events. They have fought and fanked
aud ilanked and fought, with upvaryine
success. May il be so till the rebellion
receives its death blow by the fall o.
Richmond and Atlanta.
Gen. Grant has drawn to himself hal
Of Buffers troops, and Hunter is advan
cling through the Shenandoah Valley
Our army is in sight OF Richmond. The
siege is not opened, nor can 1t be unit
Grant can draw his line more closely
around the city than he has yet done
Before this point is reached no doubt
Lee will attempt some desperate assault
upon our hines, such as that which oc.
CURED at Fair Oaks. Tba.past of Gram
shows that he will be equal TO any and
every emergency.
The news from General Sherman con
tinucs exceedingly favorable. He has
whipped Johnston every time he has pre-
sumed TO offer battle, and compelled hin
to fall back from point to point, no matter
how fortified by nature and military skill
II is probable that Sherman will first ac'
complish this work for Johnston does no
seem to possess either Lees stubbornes
or his resources.-C Cleveland Herald.
