appears to be his new line" Gen. Grant
enthusiastically adds: "We will find out all
about it to-day"-that is Sunday. If there is
any news of what happened on that day after
9 o'clock in the afternoon. IL will bo found in
another column.
1t appears that Grant uscfully employed his
time while beyond the North Anna in thoroughly
destroying ten miles Of the Virginia Central
Railroad. What Sheridan had previously torn
up at Beaver Dam had been repaired, but this
second interruption will be likely to finish the
road for the present II there is anything at
Gordonsvile which Lee wants. he must get it
by way of Lynchburg and tie Danville road.
| The news from Gen. Sherman continues to be
good. His advance, under Mcpherson, is
within twenty-eight miles Of Atlanta,
at Dallas, and has driven the enemy
from that important point with enormous
loss. twenty-five hundred Rebel killed and
wounded and three hundred sound prisoners
were left in our hands-which, in proportion to
the whole strength Of Johnston'o army, is very
large indeed. Mcpherson lost but three hund
red in all. We may expect to hear at any mo
ment Of Sherman's further advance; for it il
manifest that Johnston has no force competent
to resist him successfully. and that only within
the Notifications of Atlanta can the Rebel army
hope to make anything like an obstinate defense

The following call is in circulation in our
City, and is, we believe, very extensively signed
bv loval citizens Of all crceds and classes:
NATIONS GRATITUDE TO GRANT.
The loyal citizens of the United States without dis
tincton Of party, invited to assemble at Union
Square on Saturday June 4. Mt o'clock p M, for the
purpose of rendering grateful acknowledgment for
services on many battlefield. for glorious victories
achieved and for protection given under Providence
to the life Of the Nation. by Lieut. Gen. u s. Grant
May 20. ls64.
We have heSitated TO say Amen to this call,
simply because we feared an appearance oil
premature exultation. Gen. GRANT is now in
the midst Of a series Of Military operations OF
the very gravest Importance, from which we
hope much, but Of which the issue is not yet
beyond doubt "Let not him that putteth on
the harness boast as he that taketh it of" But
Gen. GRANT has already done much for his
country, and done il so we'll, that we waive all
scruples, and invite all to come together and,
whatever thc future may have in store, give ex-
preston TO "a Nations gratitude Tor what he
has done. THE past at least is secure Honor,
then, aud blessings on the head Of Lieut.. Gen.

The Cleveland Convention meets to-day. Yes
terday there were already many delegates on
hand, but it seems that the Fremont delegation
had it all to themselves. The only mention OF
any other candidate was by some War Democrats
from New York, who seem TO favor Grant. As
far as one can judge from the general dispatches,
the Convention is not likely to be hestating or
doubtful in its course-it is to place Gen. Ere
mont in nomination for the Presidency declare
very radical platform on Slavery, insist upon
the largest liberty of speech and print at home,
and the most ultra Interpretation of the Monroe
doctrine as concerning France, &C. The West
is very strongly represented, but the East docs
not seem TO have taken so deep an Interest in
the movement.

mination of their labors. But from anldst
the conflict of sectional interests, OF party
preiudices, and of personal seifshhess,
their wisdom and conciliation at length
evoked the Constitution under which we
have lived so long 1t was not formed
In a day, and was the result OF patient
labor of lofty wisdom, and of the purest
patriotism. 1t was at last adopted by
the people of all the States, although by
some reluctantly, not as being exactly
what all desired, but as being the best
possible under the circumstances. 1t was
accepted as giving us form OF govern
ment under which the nation might live
happy and prosperous, SO long as the
peopie should continue to be influenced by
the same sentiments which actuated those
who formed it, which would not be liable
TO destruction from internal cause so long
as the people preserved the recollection OF
the miseries and calamitles which led TO
its adoption. Under this benificent Con-
stitution the progress of the nation was
unexampled in history. The rights and
liberties of its citizens were secure at
home and abroad. Vast territories were
rescued from the control OF the savage
aud wild beast, and added to the domain
OF civilization and the Union. The arts
q I'd sciences and commerce grew apace
or flag hoated upon every sea, and we
took our place among the great nations OF
the earth. But under the smooth surface
of prosperity upon which we glided so
swiftly with all sails set before the sum
mer breeze-time an long-continued good
fortune obliterated the recollection that
our sun arose with such bright promises
for the future, had already set forever. 1t
must be the visitation Of the overruling
Deity. But this land so long the asylum
for the oppressed, the refuge of civil and
religious liberty, shall again stand forth
in bright relief, united, purified, and
chastened by our trials, as an example and
encouragement for those who desire the
progress of the human race. 1t is not
given to our weak intellects to understand
the steps of Providence as they occur.
We comprehend them only as we look
back upon them in the far-distant past.
So is it now. We cannot unravel the
seemingly tangled ske:n of the purposes
of the Creator. They are too high and
far-reaching for our limited minds. But
all history, and his own revealed word
teach us that his ways, although inscru-
table, are ever righteous. Let US then
honestly and manfuIly play our parts, seek
to understand and perform our whole duty:
and trust unswervingly in the benificent
God who led our ancestors across the sea-
and sustained them afterwards amid dan,
gers more appalling even than those en-
countered by his own chosen people il
their great exodus. He did not bring u:
here in vain, nor has he supported VI
thus far for nought. If we do our duty
and trust in him, he will not desert us il
our need firm in our faith that God vii
save our country. We now dedicate thi.
site to the memory of brave men, to 10y
atty, patriotism and honor.
