A WAsHrSerOS dispatch says that the
friends cf General Fremont do not now
care to hive the Baltimore convention
postponed. They have probably come to
see that there is likely TO be no great,
change of popular feeling in respect to
candidates during the summer, and that
there is nothing to be gained by delay
Of the uomination. At any rate this is a
reasonable view of the subject. It might
have been better il the national committee
had fixed the time for the convention two
or three months later, but II IL By no
means cNrtaiR that change of time now
would be polite. It would be interpreted
by the enemy as Al sign oflhesitation aud
weakness. And there is not much in the
idea most urged in favor OF change, that
the events of the pending campaign may
tell for or against the most prominent can.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

GONE TO THE FRoNT.-The First Bat
hundred and eighty-fve men, Tuesday went
down the river on the Northern Belle on their
way to Washington and to the front. The bat
talon consists of two companies, with full
complement of line officers and is commanded
by the senior Captain one half of the men be-
ing new recruits and the other the re-enlisted
veterans of our First regiment. They march
ed down from the Fort yesterday morning and
commanded the admiration of those who saw
them passing along Third street, being hardy
healthy body of men who look as though they
can worthily maintain the good name of the
old First. ......
There was no public demonstration to cheer
the boys on their way, but good many friends
and relatives of the soldiers accompanied them
to the boat. We noticed in several instances
on Third street happy soldier surrounded by a
group of his friends, one ofwhom bore his gun,
another carried his knapsack while others
proudly escorted him along with linked arms.
And at the levee We noticed a number of ladies
bidding good bye to brothers or husbands bear
ing the parting like noble women, as they were,
and checking their tears till the receding boat
took the loved face from sight.
The men, inspired by the strengthened hopes
of Union success, were glad to 60, hoping to
share In the grand struggle in which the Army
ofthe Potomac is now engaged, and to see the
old flag floating in the summer breezes over
captured Richmond. -

THE WEEKLY PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT.

John Pegram to Gen. Jeb. Stuart, which
was obtained by the capture of the cour-
Ter carrying it, and which shows the i'm.
portant fact that Longstreet, after fighting
our right under Sedgwick in the morning,
made rapid march, united with A. P.
Hill, and assisted in the tremendous effort
to roll up Hancock's left on the afternoon
of the same day, all the circumstances of
which have detailed in former letters:
GENERAL: learn from General r. E. Lee
that the enemy attacked Ewell early this morn
ing, and were repulsed as usual There was
some confusion in Hills corps, but as soon as
Longstreet came up he commenced driving
the enemy, and has been doing so up to this
time, 1920 p. NJ. Gen. Lee says YOU can render
him very essential service bya vigorous attack
on the enemy's left. PEGRAM.
Oddly enough, the attack was made
near Todd's Tavern, but Stuart was badly
whipped by our cavalry, and the essential
service was not rendered.
In regard to Buffers operations the la
test we have received here is from dis
patch from General Pickett, which I en-
close:
The movement of the enemy on the south
side are as yet but little known, with the ex-
Bluff. A gentlemen who left City Point,
Thursday about eight o'clock, says that on
that afternoon about four o'clock, the enemy
landed force of some two thousand at City
Point. The main bulk of the euemy's force
proceeded to Bermuda Hundreds, about three
miles higher up James River, where they land
ed force variously estimated at from ten to
fifteen thousand men. Bermuda Hundreds is
near the mouth of the Appomattox River, on
its western bank. and but ten miles from
Drewry's Bluff. 1t is also within two or three
hours march of the Richmond and Petersburg
Railroad.
The following telegram was received
here last night:
PETERSBURG, May 6, 1S64.-Our forces were
diminishing with the enemy's forces near Wal
thai junction, at o'clock this evening.
G. F. PICKETT.
Maj cr General Commanding.
In regard to Averiil's progress the same
journal gives the following:
LYNCHBURG, May 6.-The V5rgiriaa has in
formation that Averill has concentrated 5000
cavalry and infantry at Kanawha Valley, with
the intention of making raid on the salt
works in Washington county.
