tries to win supporters TO the nominees
Of the Chicago Convention, whom he in.
advance promises to sustain.
We trust that the intelligent, 10y al peo-
pie of the country have, before this,
learned that the greatest danger that me-
naces US to-day is not possible failure
before Richmond, not an overthrow at
Atlanta, not a raid into Maryland, not
even the establishment of southern inde-
pendence, but hopeless political demor-
alization of the people, and an excitement
OF bad blood between political parties
through the Vaccinations Of traitors liv-
ing north OF Mason's and Dixon's line
There is no depth of infamy to which
these traitors will not dive, il, by diving,
they have chance of bringing up their.
coveted pearl OF political success. Fraud,
violence so far as violence may be safe,
intrigue, falsehood, appeal to the grossest
passions of the mob, dissemination of the
fear of want--all these will be resorted
to; and our political system is to stand
the severest test to which il has ever
been subjected. Just now the favorite
string TO play on is that of class interest
and prcjudices. New England is to be
made responsible for the war, is to get
rich by the war, at the expense of the
poor elsewhere, and New England prin-
ciples and New England patriotism are
to be made odious by association with
these falsehoods. We shall have the rest
soon enough. First the boots, then the
tail, then the full horns aboye the tail.--
Springfield Republican.

The Democratic Nomination.

The political interest just now is CEN
tered as to whom the Democracy will
nominate for President at Chicago.
This "Micawber" party, as they have
been aptly named, are in a quandary,
both as to candidates and PLATFORM
They postponed their convention until
fall, hoping events would take such
turn as would injure Mr.. Lincoln with
the people SO as to give grounds for hope
of the success of the Chicago nominee
upon semi~war platform. Thus far,
however, the prospects of Mr.. Lincoln's
reelection are as good as at the meeting
of the Baltimore Convention. Neither
does there appear to be disposition to-
wards harmony in the opposite ranks.---
The war and peace factions of the party
are far ssunder as ever. The former ap-
pear united in favor of the nomination of
Gen. Mcclellan, while the latter openly
advocate the nomination of civilian
like James Gutherie, of Kentucky, or
Judge Nelson of the Supreme Court
The shrewd politicians of the party, like
Dean Richmond, know very we'll that
peace candidate and peace platform
would be obnoxious to the people, and
fail to command their support. They
will, therefore, bend all their energies to
the adoption of platform denunciatory
of the administration, but full of war
platitudes. With Mcclellan nominated
on this platform they would hope to car
ry the election. 1t cannot be denied that
the Generals West Point oration has
made him stand better before the coun-
try as respects bis position on the war
The war democratic managers very we'll
know this, and will throw their strength
for him.-R'rlington Times.

THE MARRIED LIFE OF JOHN YVES

The MARRIED LIFE OF JOHN IVES
LEY.-Whcn Wesley settled he said "It
would be more useful 20 marry" He
married widow, who, through her jeal-
ousy, led him life of wretchedness and
misery. AT last i S spirit was up, and
he wrote to her-"Know me and know
yourself. Suspect me no m or e; pro-
woke me no more do not y longer
contend for mastery, for power, money
or praise be content to be private in-
significant person, know d loved by
God and me-" 1t was not likely that a.
woman would be pleased at being recon-
mended to be an insignificant person.
After twenty years f disquietude she
one day left him. He bore it philosophi-
cally. He went beyond it-he
took bis diary n d put the most pithy
entry into il | ever met with in diary:
"Non cam reliqui, non demisi, non revo-
cabo," which may be translated thus -
81 did not leave her; did not send her
away; | shan't n for her back
And so ended h married life of John
Wesley.

AN INCURABLE DIsEAsE.-The pi-
GUS John Newton closes a letter to a
friend in the following truly instructive
language -
"You kindly inquire after my health ;
myself and family are, through The divine
favor, perfectly we'll; yet, healthy as
am, labor under growing disorder, for
which there is no cure-I mean old age.
| am not sorry, it is mortal disease, from
which no one RECEIVERS; for who would
live always in such world as this, who
has a scriptural hope OF an inheritance in
world of light? l am now in my sew
enty-secOnd year, and seem to have lived
long enough for myself. / have known
something of the evils of life, and have
had a large share of the good. l know
what the world can do, and what it cam
not do; it can neither give nor take away
that peace of God, which passeth all IN
derstanding; it can not soothe wounded
conscience, ror enable US to meet death
with comfort. That you, my dear sir,
may have an abiding and abounding ex-
perience that the gospel is a catholicon,
adapted 10 all our wants and all our feel
ings, and suitable help when every 9TH
er help fails, is the sincere and ardent
prayer of your afectionate friend"

warm place 20 rise about an hour. Bake
it in a tolerabIy hot oven about three
quarters of an hour. A pint of indian

Improvement, but it will require one hour
to bake.

ounces of butter half a pint of boiling
water; one teaspoonfuI of salt ; pint of
cold milk a half cup of yeast; mix

DETAILS OF THE REPULsE.

The Tribune's account of the Peters
burg repulse says: Our charging party
were hardly in motion after the exploN
sion when the rebels showed themselves
prepared by opening a volley. The
abattis and other Instructions of the fort
were not destroyed, which caused much
difficulty to our advance. The interior
of the exploded works presented a con-
fused mass of earth, guns, camp equip
age and human bodies. Several at
tempts were made to advance toward
Curly Hill, but failed under the severity
of the rebel enilading fire.
About in the forenoon Ferrond's
colored troops were ordered 10 make an
attack on Curly Hill, 400 yards distant.
They behaved with great steadiness until
they reached the line of the other ad-
vance, when the rebel fire was brought
to bear upon them, they turned to the
left and became mixed up with other
troops. About 1000 colored troops now
leaped into the exploded works, which
was a mere pit, aud already crowded
with white troops. The negroes tum-
bled headlong down the sides causing
scene of much confusion. Attempts
we're made to get them out and form a
line, but failed.
All our artillery was playing upon
the rebels, but their fire seemed 10 in
crease in severity. They moved their
troops from right to left, concentrating
in front Of our assaulting column. Be
tween z and s o'clock our troops made
three attempts to charge but failed.
Ebout Q in the forenoon our fire
Stacked, and the rebels rushed out and
charged our troops. At first they were
checked, but finally they got possession
of the ground between the fort and their
line, and came within short distance Of
our troops. Our troops then tried to get
back to our lines.
About ! o'clock, P. NJ, the enemy

THE ASSAULT ON PETERSBURG.

THE ASSAULT ON PETERSBURG.
! A dispatch dated Headquarters of the
Army of the Potomac, onthe 31st ult.,
says The exact losses il the battle of
yesterday have not been officially ascer-
tanned, but as near as can be judged will
reach 2500, not including the missing
Many believe that the figure will prove
larger.
In the hospitals of the 81 corps the
first division has 206 men, second divis-
ion 307, third division 341 and 4th or
colored division 626. The larger num-
bei Of the wounded aH lying on the
field between the tw lines, and cannot
be got off
A flag of truce was snt to the enemy
to-day for the purpose d getting the re-
mainder of our wounded from the field,
but was refused. Reasn not given.
Gen. Butler also senta flag of truce
to-day, which was alo refused. The
rebel officer gave no reason for refusing,
except that his orders we're peremptory
not TO receive such fag. The rebel off
GERS also refused to exchange news
papers, and the reba soldiers are so
closely watched by their officers that
they have no chance of making an ex-
change. The reason for this is not yet
given.
The wounded that have been brought
in are well cared for, the medical ar.
rangenents being ample.
The lines of the two armies are about
the same as before the battle. Picket
firing has been constantly kept up since.
The number of prisoners captured
and brought in is about 25O, the highest
rank among them being a captain
They are healthy looking, but their
lres5 presents the usual dirty and ragged |
appearance.
August lst.-A party under flag of
ruce have gone out to bury the dead
md bring in the wounded. The num-
'er is represented as being large.
The mine in front of Burnside, which !
vas exploded on Saturday morning, was
aid to be 400 feet long and the charge
vas 6 tons of powder. The elevating
orce may be easily imagined. A great
leal is undoubtedly to be done yet, be-
ore Petersburg is captured, as t h
reach made by the explosion cannot be
arge, and also our operations there may
e subjected to a severe concentrated fire.
)ur whole line on the right, also, has
cen for some time exposed to a trouble
ONE enflading fire from the rebel bates
les on the north side of the Appomat-
ox, and as the line advances it may af-
1rd a chance for the erection of other
batteries in that direction
|ut Gen. Grant has foreseen all these
ontingencies Of the situation, and made
rovsions accordingly.

were Col. Carter and man named Douglas.
It is stated that the Chicago British Con

in his possession ESQ ounces Of qulnine, and
