An English gentleman, Edwin Wallace,
swan the Appomattox last night, and escaped
TO our lines. He has resided In Petersburg
since the war began, and represents the pros.
poets Of the Confederacy as becoming more

Mr.. Wallace lost his wife and child In Pc

BY the explosion Of one of our shells, which

Upon the same principle, and for the sam,
reasons, that General Mcclellan arrested tn,
Maryland Legislature, viz; to catch traitors, W.
suggest the propriety f"gobbllng" the present
assembly at Chicago outsiders, ant
all. A greater number of traitors could not bt
caught at any one time, in one net; hence 4
moro efiectual mode of suppressing the rebel
lion could not be devised. II this could b,
done, recruiting might stop, the draft woult
not be needed, the rebellion would lose It's vi

CHICAGO, August 9o.-The National Demo.
cratic Convention rcassemblod at ten O'Clock,
this morning. The attendance, both inside
and outside the Wigwsm, was even greatc1
| than yesterday.
Immediately after the Convention was called
to order, prayer was offered by Bishop White
| house, Of Illinois.
Mr.. Hughes, chairman Of tho committee on
Organization, reported that the committee had
| unanimously agreed upon Horatio Seymour
| as the permanent president Of the Convention.
! Applause greeted the announcement, and the
| report was adopted by acclsmation.
SECOND DISPATCH
Tho report OF the committee on organization
was read and adopted by acclamation.
The president Is Horatio Seymour, and Vice
presidents-Joseph Chase, OF Maine; j. W.
Sullivan, of New Hampshire; Z. d. Beach, OF
| Massachusetts; d. H. smslley, OF Vermont;
George Taylor, Of Connecticutj Alfred Autho-
Jersey and Gideon ]. Tucker, OF Now York.
When quiet was restored Mr.. Seymour pro-
ceeded 10 address the Convention.
Mr.. Seymour said:
Gentlemen of the Convention, cannot fore
tell the resolutions and action Of this Conven-
tion, but say that every member OF It loves
the Union, desires peace, and will uphold con-
w
and action Of this Convention are of the ut.
most Importance, there are additional reasons
Why the Democratic party should be restored to
power, and they are great reasons.
The Democratic party will restore the Union,
| because II longs for Its restoration. II will
bring peace, because II loves peace. It will
bring back liberty TO our land, because It loves
liberty. 1t will put down despotism, because
Il hates ignOble tyranny, which now degrades
| the American people. Four years ago Con.
ventiou met In this city, when our country was
peaceful, prosperous and united.
Its delegates did not mean TO destroy our
Government, to overwhelm us with debt, or TO
| drench our land with blood; but they were
| animated by intolerance and fanaticism and
blinded by an Ignorance of the spirit of our
Institutions the character OF our people and
the condition Of our land. They thought
they might safely indulge their passions, and
concluded to do so. They would not heed the
warnings of our fathers, and did not consider
that meddlng begets strife, and their passions
have wrought out natural results.
They were impelled to spurn all measures Of
compromise. Step by step they have marched
on to results from which at the outset they
would have shrunk with horror; and even,
| when war has desolated our land, has laid It's
heavy burdens upon labor, and when bank.
ruptcy and ruin overhapg us, they will not have
the. Union restored, except upon conditions
unknown TO our Constitution. They will not
let the shedding Of blood cease, even for little
time, TO sec II Christian charity or the wisdom
Of statesmanship may not work out method
to save our country.

ley, where he says, "westward the Star of
Empire takes It's way" have actually been re-
allied on the great plains this season. The
emigration from the East to West has been one
continued and continuous tide Of women, men
and wagons. From q memorandum kept it
Fort Laramie, we find that 0, ,16l wagons, with
over 25, 500 animals, and over Il, 900 head of
dren, passed by that route westwardly, from
the middle of March TO the 9th instant. The
above does not, Of course, include the immense
emigration Of settlers, freighters, &C., on the
stage roite through the Cheyenne Pass, as also,
to our broad Territory, nor TO New Mexico and
Arizona.

FIsB ARTs.-Powell's large and imp essiye
picture Of the battle Of Lake Erie, which mas
been some three years or more on his easel, Ns
at last been finished, and Ia now on Its way
an exhibition In Providence, Rhode Island, In
which State the hero Of the victory, Oliver
Hazard Perry, was born. This picture was or
dered by the Legislature OF Ohio-fhe hrst order
Of the kind, we believe, ever given by western
state-to oil up compartment In the walls of
the capital at Columbus. II ls of course very
large, larger indeed than the national picture
In the Capitol at Washington, and on that ac-
count presented many difficulties to the artist.
But he has overcome these with remarkable
skill. Selecting that moment In the fight when
the gallant Perry leaves his crippled flagship,
the 81. Lawrence, for the Niagara, the artist
has made the boats crew the principal object
OF his canvass. While the battle roars in the
distance, and we sec the tapering masts and
tapping sails OF the warning sea-ships only
through clouds Of smoke, Perry and his brave
comrades nobly fill the foreground. He Is
standing In the stern Of his boat, as the hlstori-
cal narrative describes, pointing to the vessel
10 which he Is going, and promising victory TO
those he has LEFT behind. A shell has Just burst
near the gunwale OF the boat, and his brother,
mere lad, strives In vain to pull him down TO
q seat. The old sea-dogs who row him with Q
strong and steady pull watch him with deep
anxiety, but with faces unblanched by fear.
taken from real life. All are strongly painted,
the composition Is good, the action animated,
and the details effective. II is the best, we
think, of all Mr.. Powell's works; and II on
grayed, as we trust It will be, will make an ad-
mirable pendant to Leutze's "Washington
Crossing the Delaware"-the one representing
. turning moment In the dark days OF tho rev.
olution, and the other In the war Of 1919; the
one rejecting deathless honor on our army, the
other on our navy. 49,
