The Nominations.

The action Of the Chicago Convention meets
with the hearty approval of the Conservative
sentiment of the country. The Convention was
composed Of various shades Of sentiment, but the
deliberations and results could not be otherwise
than harmonious and united where there vas

opinions and preferences to the public welfare
This feeling was manifested from the opening Of
the Convention to its close Never did more

the public interests But one purpose animated
them. and that was to save the Government
from threatened destruction Assembled for
such high and holy object. is it sur
prisng that the harmonious result Of it's
deliberations excited the widest enthusiasm of
the thousands PRESENT.
The same spirit which animated the delegates
and the multitudes who assembled at Chicago,
We are happy to notice. influences all who desire
the preservation of constitu tional liberty. The
resolutions and the nominees of the Chicago
Convention meet with the cordial endorsement
of every friend of pesce, of law and order. and
OF the Union upon the basis of the Con sttution

NEW YORK, Feb "A.
The Times says the Richmond papers of the
201h inst. state that the rebel War Depart
ment received on the 18th inst. an official dis
patch that the enemy made 4 demons tration
with gunboats and Il land force at Grand Pass,
thirty-fve miles from Mobile. The fire of the
enemy fell short. There is no doubt that the
approach is from Banks line. Sherman's col
umn is approaching by the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad. A third column from Pensacola is
also advancing from Pollard, forty miles dis
tant The situation of Mobile is critical.
Another dispatch announces the repulse of
the Federals with great loss at Grand Pass.
The same paper reports another Federal
raid up the Peninsula, with their advance at
Bonhamsville, but says there is no occasion
for alarm, as Richmond is covered from as
sault
The Lynchburg Republican reports the
death of Parson Brownlow in Knoxville.
Dispatches from Charleston 1lth, say Fin

Another dispatch reports that Gen. Wise
repulsed the enemy on Johns Island, and is
in pursuit. Loss trifling.

The Charleston Mercury says Secretary
Chase is making every eXertion to flood the
South with greenbacks, which, unless imme-
diately checked, will subvert our currency

OF the cause.
The same paper says the constant dropping
OF the enemy's shot is telling upon the lower
part of the city.

oquent patriot once at least nearly succumbed
to his own emotion, and was obliged to stop
to gather up his voice and to brush away the
manly tears which rose unbdden to plead in
behalf of his people.
When he closed, the venerable Judge Ten
ney arose, and with voice choled by his I'M
comfortable emotions, said he felt that he
as member of the Legislature and as man,
should be untrue TO his position if he did not
propose an immediate response to the elo-
quent appeal which had been made for the
relief Of the suffering condition of gallant
and loyal people, who, that the country and
liberty might live, had become poor, and been
reduced to the borders of famine and naked
ness. Judge Tenney struck the keynote.
Others followed in similar strain The Gov
emor felt that the aid Of the State should be
extended at once, and in generous measure.
Mr. Farwel, of Rockland, would put his
hand in his own pocket, and then as legisla-
tor, vote to make generous appropriation in
behalf of the State. He asked the Secretary

followed Gov. Cony changed his to $500.
Mr.. Spring called upon Penobscot, and Mr..
Stetson, of Bangor, put down $780, Mr..
Spring said the Sagadahoc delegation was in
part absent, but he would pledge them for
$500. By the list below it will be seen how
promptly the Bath delegates more than re-
deemed this pledge, in the evening. The box
es were carried around for those who did not
wish to give in their names. The following

Dy- We shall waste no words upon the i'm
potent rage of our usually placid friend of the
Ellsworth American. He pitches into the
Press with vituperation worthy of the Five
Points, because OF correspondents remark
on the removal question. No one having the
least control of our columns has ever alluded
to that paper in the least unpleasant connec-
ton; why then such an attack upon the Press
per seq The American will excuse us from
regarding IL as an exponent of the sentiment
of Hancock county on this question, so long
as every member of the Legislature from that
county votes in favor of removal Not only
does the American misrepresent its own rep
resentative, but every representative from that
county who voted on the question. One word
more for our amiable friend: when he betrays
less bitterness he will be more likely to satisfy
his readers that he is not subsidized by Capital
influences.

The CHESAPEAKE Pirates ORDERED TO
PRIsoN.-The Police Magistrate at st John de-
livered judgment yesterday in the Chesapeake
case, ordering the prisoners to be committed
to Jail for surrender to the United States au-
thorities. He said the evidence for prosecu-
ton discloses that the prisoners and other
parties who captured the passenger steamer
Chesapeake, was the work of towards and
villains. The master of vessel must have
unfettered authority and obedience from the
crew and passengers.
The evidence on the part of the defense
declares that there is terrible civil war ex-
isting in the United States. That the only
authority for the seizure of the Chesapeake
is that given by John Parker, and he had no
power to give commissions that there was
no authority for the transfer ofpower from
Parker of letters of marque, and could find
no Justification for the capture of the Chesa-
peake. 1t was an imo furanan, not jure be-
ILL., 1t was piracy, robbery and murder. 1t
was justifable by no U. S. court case within
the extradition treaty. Application will be
made for habeas corpus to bring the case
befor the Supreme Court.

A CornoratiOn with a Soul.

1t has passed into proverb that corpora
tions have no souls, but general rules have
their exceptions, and we are gratifed in being
able to mention one Of those exceptions in
connection with the terrible calamity which
has Just occurred in this neighborhood.-
When the news of the disaster to the Bohe-
milan reached the city, twenty men were imme-
diately sent to the Cape to secure whatever
baggage came ashore; wagons were sent out
to bring all the sufferers to the city, and food
and lodgings were provided at Sailors Home
and Grand Trunk House, and some of the
passengers were sent to our first class hotels,
and provision was made for sending the suf
ferers to their destination, all at the expense
Of the Steamship Company.
The money generously contributed by our
citizens will not be applied to defray the ex-
pense of any Of the above objects, as has been
enormously supposed, but will be applied to
furnish personal comforts beyond what has
been done by the Company.
The ladies of our city, with their accus-
toned promptness and liberality, furnished
supply of clothing for the needy beyond their
wants-more than could be used
Collector Washburn sent two Custom
House officers to the Cape shore to protect
property, and the Cutters boats were also
there to prevent plundering.
The whole record of this melancholy affair,
after the fatal collision with the rock, has been
such as to give one higher views of human
nature, and TO increase his faith in his fellow
man. The Agents of the Company have be-
haved with promptness, an alacrity and a
degree ofhumanity refreshing to contemplate,
and such as to give silver lining to the dark
cloud which rests over this lamentable affair.

The FUND FOR THE BOHEMIAN SUFFER-

aid of the Bohemian sufferers, which was
started at the Merchants Exchange, is now
about $1,000. Everything has been done by
the authorities ana benevolent of our city to
make the condition of the unfortunate suf-
ferers as comfortable as possible. Clothing to
very large amount has been contributed by
our citizens so that all are well supplied
Those who have relatives in this country or
