Tbe Great Event.

The great event which we have to an
nounce this morning is the action OF the
Cleveland convention yesterday, by Whicn

party and taking new name, with frenont
and Cochrane as its candidates for PRESIDENT
and Vice President. c.,.,,
Our ample telegraphic dispatches furnish
graphic descriptions of the proceedings, a
noticeable feature in which was the appear
ance in the convention of body OF repre-
sentatives of the Lincoln Presidential IN
terest, and an attempt by them to prevent
the consummation Of the grand purpose Tor
which the assemblage had met. They seem
to have been brushed aside as If they were
The first question which arises IN every
mind is, which will take the lead as the
stronger party,-the new, fresh, vigorous,
bold. defiant, outspoken, tyranny-hatlng Or
ganization, with the Pathfinder as its lead

ed, ivil-liberty-invading country destroy

with Lincoln astride. We fancy that even
now there can be no doubt on that score

AN OHIO MERCHANT ROBBED OF S250O.-
Mr.. Otho S. Holloway, merchant, of Flush
ing Belmont County, Ohio had his pocket
picked on Monday afternoon, in one of the
sleeping cars OF the Pennsylvania Central
road, and pocket book containing upwards
of $4,000 in money, checks, &C., distracted
therefrom: The robbery was committed
lust after Mr.. ii. entered the cars. Having
arrived at Pittsburg from the West, he hur-
ried into the sleeping car, going East, and
in the crowd and hustle of changing cars,
he neglected to observe proper caution and
thus lost his money.

Abolition Friendship for the Sol
dier.

dier.
The political demagogues who were most
prominent in the late Abolition State Con-
vention. took special pains to create the im-
preston that they were willing to properly
recognize the claims of the gallant soldiers
in our Army, in distributing the fayors and
the honors they had to bestow. They were
profuse in their professions of devotion and
love toward the soldier. Buncombe speech
es were made by those who were running
the Convention, to give prominence to their
hypocritical pretensions. son behalf of
the Army Col. STANLEY was made Presi-
dent. son behalf of the Army" Col. Con-
NELL was twice thrust upon the Con-
vention. s'On behalf of the Army" Col
onel RICHARDSON was announced and
nominated. But while all this was done,
5 not a man of them ever thought of
presenting the name of apriyate soldier for
nomination. The men who wear shoulder
straps and carry commissions in their pock-
cts, are put forward as the Representatives
of the Army, by these Abolition dema-
gogues, while the neglected private in the
ranks Is expected to vote as they dictate.
There isn't a single regiment in the United
States service to-day, that has not scores of
privates as well or better qualified to fill
any of the offices for which nominations
were made, than is the Colonel himself.
The private fights the battles and endures
the hardships Of military life, while the
Colonel is, perchance, quartered at first
class hotel. Yet the shoddyites nominate
the Colonel for Office, and entirely ov,r-
look and ignore the private soldier-claim-
I ing all the time that they are the peculiar
and only friends Of the ''gallant boys" Out
upon such hypocrisy ! ,7G .f

Prospects of the Fremont Ticket

Prospects of the Fremont Ticket.
The New York World closes an article
on the Cleveland Convention with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
We make no pretensions to the gift of
prophesy, and must here speak with eau
ton. What is certain is, that this ticket is
not put in the field to be withdrawn. 1t
will go through the campaign with indomi-
table spirit. 1t has strong hold upon the
sympathies Of the most ardent courageous
and vigorous portion of the Republican
party. It carries no dead weight; it is not
burdened with the odium of Mr.. Lincoln's
unpopular and disgraccful measures. 1t
has strength enough to-day, to turn the scale
against Mr.. Lincoln in at least seven of the
Ssates, and it must gain constantly. All
who support it at all, will support it with
vigor and enthusiasm; the opposition to it
will be tame and feeble. The Republican
journals cannot make open war upon pop
ular idol, who has contributed more than
any other man to the growth of their
party, who has been its candidate for
the presidency, and has been conspicuous
above all others for strict fidelity to
principle. Besides, events may occur
during the summer which will deprive Mr..
Lincoln of all influence except of that ques-
tionable kind which results from welding
the executive patronage.

kn~,sfsEs 1870 to Fill. ~


WILLIAM HENRY SMITH, the Republican
candidate for Secretary Of State, has been
drafted. This will create vacancy on the
State ticket of the LINCOLN party, and
make another nomination necessary--for it
is not doubted that WILLIAM HENRY will
at,once shoulder his musket and go to the
sfrontn as his .sloyalty" is above suspicion.
He is at present Private Secretary to the
Governor. This position will also be vacant
In a few days-just as soon as our friend
shoulders his musket. Here is an opportu-
nifty for some enterprising Miscegenation-
istto get good Office, If lie win but make
application in time. We take it for grant
ed, that Capt. KAGA will be put on the tick
q ct for Secretary of State, as he was the prin-
!. cipal competitor of WILLIAM HENRY's, in
"a the late LINCOLN State Convention. But
there viii be no lack of candidates. We
suppose that the Governor will also be able
TO find successor to his Private Secretary,
n issshous Siiy very great delay. We regret
that WILLIAM HENRY will be compelled to

In one corner of hospital tent, as in
many others that night, lay dying man
a lieutenant in one of the Massachusetts
regiments engaged during the afternoon
Type of a thousand officers, who, like him,
have been thus stricken, and have thus
died. his last moments demanded the hush
and pause rendered by all feet and voices in
that tent. His face, turned away from the
battlefield, looked toward the North. A
handsome, noble face it was, shadowed
by dark hair, and saddened by the droop
Of dark moustache. His breast was
bare; a bandage was drawn across II, COW
ering wound, the pain of which disturbed
him no more. He lay quietly breathing, as
If asleep. He was not asleep, however, for
presently, as two or three standing by be-
gan to say among themselves that 1t would
soon be over, he put q pale hand that trem-
,bled like an aspen down beneath his shirt
on the other side, and drew forth what
might have been expected, dull, soilcd
velvet ambrotype case, which he held few
moments without attempting TO open. One
who stood there felt instinctively that the
