THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

The Democratic, j. Davis, Gopperhead, Rebel
Convention will meet at Chicago next Monday
There will be great crowd as all the leading allies
of the rebels. sylnpathisers with treasos. spies
ana emissaries Of the Confederacy will be
be there The indications are that Major Gen
eral George b. Mcclellan win be the leading
candidate for the Presidency, and we presume he
will receive the nomination Nutmeg Seymour,
justice Nelson, New York Seymour, E.x- President
Fillmore. Ex-President Pierce and justice Wood
ward are on the list Of candidates.
There viii be considerable trouble not only in
choosing candidate, but IN agreeing upon plat
form There is War faction aud two Peace
factions OF the latter one flction goes for what
it calls an honorable peace. that IS to allow the
Rebel States to rule the free States in the future
as they have in the past, provided they consent to
come back into the Union. The other faction is
for :Peqce at aag pnce and is ready to consent
to diyided Union rather than that the war should
continue
But the famishing condition of the "Party, 2
and the cohesive Power Of Public Plunder, viii
enable them to reconcile differences that would
otherwise be unsurmountabe We look there
fore for a truce, to their quarrcls, and shall
be disappointed if they are not united under the
leadership of Major General Mcclellan. who il
the only available candidate left, ssWar
Democrat on a peace platform, or no platform.

An Aru,istice.

In denying the charge that he personally favor
ed an armistice, Senator Wilson. Of Massachusetts,
has assumed to speak authoritatiyey for Presi-
dent Lincoln and the Cabinet. He says that no
public man connected with the Administration is
in favor Of an anaistice. Il personally know
that President Lincoln, and al the members Of
his Cabinet, have nndouhted faith IN the success
of our armies. and the complete triumph Of our
cause With this belief they win pursue the most
vigorous measures to raise money and carry OH
the war. -
= The North Ansgican says; Without inquirine
into the authority by which Senator Wilson speaks
and which must be presumed to Justify his Ian
guage, there are certainty very strong reasons to
warrant the belief and determination attributed
to the President and the Cabinet. No moment
since the commencement has contained SO much
matter for cheer If the matter Is as sound as it
seems 70 be, and the prospects are real as they
represent themselves, an armiStice IS not more
wise alternative than a treaty of peace would be.
Alr. Gilmore report from Richmond did not IA
yor the idea OF negotiations until greater punish
ment had been inflicted. These and other CON
siderations render it probable that Senator VIII
son understood the feeling which he represented,
and spoke truly when saying that the unloubted
faith of the President and Cabinet in the success
of our armies and the triumph of our cause would
lead them to pursue the most vigorous measures
to carry on the war

The Campaign.

The alviceS from the Army Of Potomac state
that on Saturday night the Rebels made annJher
attempt to drive cur forces trem their POSITION on
the Weldon karoad. The lighting was Of the
most spirited character and continued up 70 ten
o clock or Sunday morning Our force had been
reinforced, aud it is obviously Cen Grant Fur-
pose to retain his hold upon this important lnu OF
the enemys 5 communications The details We
give of Fridays fight show it to have been 4 very
heavy engagement. Tie Rebels made very des-
p5rate attempt to drive the Fifth Corps back, but
though they were at first partially successful Gen,
Warren finally drove them back and maintained
his position.
Ii is evident that to obtain possession Of the
Weldon Railroad has been the object of all the
different movements lately inaueurated By Gen.
Grant. The movement on the North side Of the
James river was but little more than feint to.
subserve the purpose since so successfully achiey-
ed Already the Second Corps has re-erossed to
the south side, the gap between the Fifth Corps
and the rest of the army has been closed, and it
ooks as if the new position taken BY the army
was to he permanently held unless the Rebels are
able TO drive us from it. That they viii endeayor
to do so, the importance of the road to them rem
ders certain
From the Upper Potomac we have accounts
from our correspondent Of an engagement on sun
day between General Sheridan and the Rebel ar
my under Gen Early. The fighting commenced
at Summit Point, two miles beyond Charlestown,
at nine o clock on Sunday morning and contlnn-
ed at intervals throughout the day The Rebels
made heavy attack on our extreme advance
which was ultimately compelled to fall back, and
simultaneously engaged the extreme right The
fighting on the left was very sharp and the loss
ses on both sides heavy. On the right the enc
my was driven for more than mile, and the day
closed with our lines unchanged, which we con-
tinued to hold up TO ten clock at night, when
Gen Sheridan fell back to Halltown. and at noon
yesterday our right rested upon the Potomac, and
our left on the Shenandoah about three miles be-
yond Harper Ferry There was some skirnish-
ing at the extreme front up to nine clock yester
day morning, when it entirely ceased and the
main body OF the enemy was found to be moving
towards the Potomac BY way Of Martinsburg
Our cavalry were skirnishing IN the direction of
Martinsburg yesterday, and a scout from General
Averill reported the euemy making demonstra-
tons on the Potomac fords at Williamsport and
Shepherdstown, but up to noon they had not eff
fected crossing. Military movements in the
Shenandoah valley are generally a puzzle and
never more so than just now 1t looks, however
as if General Sheridan was purposey leaving the
roads open and inviting the enemy TO come as far
as they please with the hope of fighting them
where a victory viii have more probability of be-
ing decisive than at any point mp the Shenandoah
valley

On looking over
the columns Of your paper week ago, | was
somewhat astonished at not finding the Sheriff S

This seemed inexpiicahle to me at the tinle howey
er, since learn that the High Sheriff of Bedford
County patronizes the paper started to .smash up
the INeuIRER. What does this mean? Is it possible
that the Sheriff of Bedford county can be guilty of
so mean thing as to advertise matters Of general
interest," under the control of his office land which
for thanageneration have been published in the
lNquiRFRl in paper of forced and begging creu-
lation of less than three hundred to the exclusion Of
the cid established press, which has bona tide cir
cnlation of more than twelve hundred.
Are the Union Taxpayers Of this county to be
thus outraged to crafty few men who desire to
break down the Uuion party. This effort on the
part of the opposition to break the INqURER is nfa
nous Union men of Bedford county, you who sup

The Campaign

The news from the Army Of the Potomac is
satisfactory The attempt made on Sunday by
the enemy To drive us from the position on the
line OF the Weldon Railroad was most decidedly
repuised, and the result, in the damage inflicted
set TO thc less successful engagement OF Friday,
OH the same ground The attack on Sunday was
made by the Rebels in great force, and with the
utmost determination 10 drive Gus forces from their
position. This time we were prepared for them,
ana our troops appear to haze been eXeellenty
saineuuyred. y cross lire WAS brought to Eeaf
on the advancing column, Under which they broke,
a portion Fuining back into the woods and four
hundred suTren.lerlne as prisoners. The comman-
der OF the asstRltiHs column was killed and his
body lett between tae opposing lines The loss OF
the enemy IN Killed aud wounded was about six
hundred, whilst ours was slight. Our forces now
hold the Railroad iirnliy, and nave erected works
from which it IS believed they cannot be driven
Gpto Monday morning no further attack had been
made bn4 another engagement was likely at any
moment, rs il was believed the enemy would not
give up che attemptto retake the position, SO ina
portaut both to them aud Us, until fully convinced
Of the imposSiblity Of the task 4 special dcs-
patch states that in the attack on Sunday the
Rebel General Heath and Lee a son OF L. b. Leej
were killed and General \. p. Hill morsaily
wounded
There is no essential change in the position Of
affairs on the Upper Potomac. General Shefi-
DIN 5 army is stiI lying beyond Harper Ferry
holding the Peninsula formed by the Shanandoah
and the Potomac rivers, and is intrenching itself
ia that position The Rebels hold the country
beyond towards the Potomac including Martins
burg. Their cavalry have appeared ON the line Of
the river but up to noon yesterday they made no
attempt to cross over. According to present In
dications, there will be no movement on our side
until the Rebel designs, whether for movement
into Pennsylvania or against Washington are de-
yeloped
4 dispatch from Atlanta, dated on the 18th,
states that the Rebel rifep in front ofa part Of
our line had been capturcd BY the Fifteenth Corps
Some two hundred Of the Rebels holding them de-
serted to our lines when the advance was made
Gen Fitzpatrick has returned from his raid on the
Macon Road, having suffered but little loss He
destroyed the road for two miles, tore up the
track in several places and captured one piece of
artillery and seventy prisoners. The official news
from General Sherman is hopeful. The Rebel
Gen Whceler's Cavalry, lately operating on
Gen Sherman S communications have gone in
the direction of Knoxville East Tennessee,
pursued BY our forces under General Steadrnan
& train bound from Knoxville to Chattanooga

GENERAL BURNSIDE or THE SITUATION. The
Providence (R T. journal, published at the
home of Burnside, says General Burnside brings
very cheering accounts from the Army Of the Po-
tomac He does not see the reason for the des-
pondency which seems to prevail here, and to IN
crease IN proportion to the distance from the scene
of active operations General Burnside feels GER
tain that the enemy has been greatly weakened by
losses, and Is wearing away under the continual
pressure Of our forces. He feels entire confidence
in Grant and in the officers and army of the Poto-
mac provided they are suStainedby the loyal peo-
ple Of the North He has no doubt that Grant
viii take Richmond, or do Something better Our
men stand the heat quite as well as those on the
other side Burnside, although OF cheerful tenn
perament, is always careful and an honest OBJ
server, and his opinion Is Of as muchsvalRe asa
that could vel be formed. We regard it, there-
fore, as coed cause Of encouragement, and I'M
portant to be made public.
