s-5y" The Union Convention ~ Baltimore,
on Wednesday, nominated President Lin
coin for a second term on the first ballot.
The people believe the President to be
honest in his intentions, and earnest in his
efforts, to crush out this wicked rebellion.
They believe that whatever errors he has
committed, were errors OF Judgment, and az
mankind is no. infaliblc, he should be fair
II Judged and with due allowance for the
frailties of all things human. Ia this re,
spect 1lr Lincoln will compare fGyg.sbly
with most Of his predecessors.
Andrew johnson, Of Tennessee tie nomi-
nee for Vice President, is not only an able
statesman, but one of the most deserving
men in the Union. He is selfmadc man,
and worked at his trade until he was elect
"a to office by his fellowcItilens on account
Of his industry, energy, and talents. He
never was u tayOrite with the aristocracy oil
slavery, but his high character for honesty
and industry, and superior abilities, made
him tuyurite with the people. The dem
ccsIc. seat him to Congress and afterwards
TO the United States Senate, and he was
the ruling spirit IN Tennessee for many
years.

DESPERATE CHARGE OF THE REB-

Terrible slaughter and Rcpulsc
Of the Enemy.
DALLAS, Ga, May 20.
via Pittsburg June Z.

DAhih', Nh'i SANt
via Pittsburg June I.
The rebels made 3 desperate charge about
1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, on McPher-
sons lines, and were repulsed with terrible
slaughter
They came up in heavy masses through the
dense underground in front of our lines, and
were not discovered until within Il very
short distance of the skirmishcrs.
The skirmishers fell back aud the first
line Ui battle received the shock in gallant
style in Dodgc's front
The object appeared to be the capture of
Nilder's battery, and SO desperately did
they contend for it that rebel captain and
lieutenant sealed the breastworks.
The captain was captured and the lieu
tenant killed, his body falling inside the
works. The battery kept up calling fire
Of grape and canister, which piled up the
dead and wounded by hundreds.
Dodge's line did not give an inch
The Fifteenth corps all stood firm except
Harvard5 division, which lost some ground
and two guns in the first onset of the enemy,
but quickly rallied and recovered the ground
and the guns.
Wilder's mounted infantry, holding the
extreme right of MPhcrson's lines, held
Failing to carry our works with the first
rush and Satisfied with their reception from
the first line of battle, the rebels retired
with great precipitation, leaving, however,
strong line Of skirnishers to hold the
ground previously occupied hy them to
carry off their killed and wounded Our
boys are in fine spirits over their success.
Generals M'Pherson, Logan and Dodge
were upon the field in person, and and our
troops greeted them with hearty cheers
| wherever they passed.
! Our loss will not exceed one hundred,
that OF the rebels probably two thousand.
! In front of one of Dudge'S divisions fifty
/ two dead rebels were baried inside OF ouI
! skirmishing lines.
| The rebels remained in possession olenougll
ground to carry oil one,ha.f their dead and
! wounded.
! 1t was expected that the fight would bc

| Hooker did sume heavy fighting on the
| 25th, in which he lost l,5G0 men, and drove
! the enemy back from q very strong position
May lighting opens quite brisl, this

icy" Provisions. The high prices of all
things necessary to sustain life, is severely
commented on by some Of the city papers
In most cases spectators are at the bottom.
One Of these papers advises entire abstinence
from beef several weeks, or month, and
thinks people generally consumes to much
fresh meat This is, no doubt, true The
high price Of cattle is attributed to monopo-
lists, and the butchers are not alone to blame,
who will pay high prices as long us people
are willing to pay them There is, how
ever, no doubt that the butchers, as well as
the consumers, would be benefited by fair
prices, and all ought TO act il concert to
bring about a reform.

to form and double quick upon the Yankees
and take them prisoners.
Gen. Ransom was lett dead on the field,
and his sword was presented by one of our
private soldiers TO Gen. Crawford and an
other soldier cut of his coat collar with the
stars upon it.
The First Regiment buried seventy
rebels the next day, in front of their works
1t is estimated that the rebels lost one
thousand men in this assault upon the Yam
kee skirmishipg lines" Prisoners all agree
that they never knew such stubborn rcsis:
ance as our army has lately shown, and that
it tells teariully upon their morals rs well as
their ranks. They say they are worn out
with excessive marching, toll and fighting,
but all feel confident OF their army being
able yet to defeat us.
Among the rebel dead was Colonel Terrill,
of the Twenty y-scveuth virginia. brother TO
our General Terrill, who was killed al Shi-
loh. In his pocket was found II letter, near
ly WORKOUT. from the United States surgeon
who attenued General Tcrrill, who said that
he regretted that he was an alien from his
family and State but that he should stard
by his whole country to the last.
The Rebel Colonel Hoffman was also found
cut in two hy a she'll The coior-b bearer OF
| the Fiity-secund Virginia came almost up to

One ot oar men, who has been in every bat

never saw the enemy so mangied and torn
as they were along that fence. Dead and

three or four deep. Wounded men had

! Our loss was not heavy, except in the first

never in any previous campaign been 50 we'll

constantly going forward. The whole army
worships General Grant, and say that he is
the only man who has given them chance
TO fight.
The belief was universal both among the
troops and residents Of the country in the
vicinity of Richmond, that the rebel capital
must fall.
There had boen nc attempted raid on the

the rumored capture of FitahuSh Lee anu
