The Confederate Official Re-.
port Of the Late Disaster ON
Red River.

The Vicksburg correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican writes as follows:
"The rebel Gen. Kirby Smith reports
the defeat of Gen. Banks as complete.
They officially claim to have taken four
thousand prisoners; two thousand FIVE
hundred wounded; eight thousand stand
of arms; two thousand and odd mules; two
hundred and fifty wagons: nine hundred
barrels of -four, and thirty five pieces Of
cannon.
"The gunboats are still above the ra-
pids and unable to get down, 1t is to be
hoped that they will not be captured or
burned. sasf

Yet this terrible defeat-one Of the

but, instead Of giving them that justice
which the law guaranteed to the poorest
among US, they we're told that they could
have their liberty only by giving their
parole. Some of them, worn out by the
fatigues Of Imprisonment, did finally give
their parole, but others preferred to yield
their lives rather than submit to the hu-
initiating test that was required of them.

Still he believed Mcclellan wrs too much
of gentleman and christian to act as
he did, except upon what he deemed
creditable evidence.
Mr.. Long, of Ohio, took the stand in
opposition to Mcclellan. lie said Lin
cola had been guilty Of interfering with
the freedom Of speech, freedom Of elec-
tions, and Of arbitrary arrests. In your
resolutions, Mr. Long said, you have ar.
raigned him before the people Of the
country for these tyrannies and usurpa
tions, ard yet you propose to nominate a
man who has gone even farther than Lin.
coin in the perpetration Of similar tyran-
ical measures upon the sacred privileges
and rights Of the people Mcclellan is
guilty Of the arrest Of the Legislature of
"a sovereign State. EIo has suspended
the writ of habeas corpus, and helped to
enforce the odious emancipation proola-
nation Of Lincoln. The willing iustru-
ment Of corrupt and tyrannioal Admin
istratioD, aiding, while possessing the
military power, to strip American flee
men of their dearest liberties, will you so
far stultify yourselves as to make him the
standard bearer of the Democracy? With
all my heart, hope not. He had never
done otherwise, and as between Lincoln
and Fremont, and any calling himself
even haf Democrat, he would have a
choice and would be found voting with
his friends, but he begged the Conven-
.ion not to nominate Mcclellan. Almost
any other nlaa who claims to be Demo
oTat would satisfy him, and would satisfy
the Northwest Weak as is your plat
form in many respects, we will stand up
and do all in our power to maintain it,
but in Gods name done add to its weak
aess by placing such man in nomination.
DIR. Carrigan, of Pennsylvania, follow,
ed, in answer to Mr.. Harris, aud quoted
from heClellan's letters to Burnside, to
Halleck, and Buell., when these gentle
men were under him, to show that he
invariably admonished them that the only
object of the war was to preserve the in,
tegrity Of the Union and the majesty of
the laws, and that he invariably cautioned
them to strictly guard against any in
tringemeat upon the rights of property
and person. fGreat applause
On voting for President the result
stood at first, Mcclellan l62, scattering
81. The different delegations then began
to change their votes, and the result was,
for Mcclellan 2023, for Thomas II Sey-
mour 233. On motion Of TalIandigham,
the martyr, the nomination Of Mcclellan
was made unanimous.
George Il. Pendleton, Of Ohio, vas
nominated for Vice President on the sec.
ond ballot.
With nine cheers for the ticket, the
Convention adjourned, subject to the call
of the National Committee.
