The Situation.

e. Our telegraphic report this morning COL :
tains several points of paramount interest.
The Secretary of War telegraphs that Lee
has fallen back beyond the North Anna
river, and that our forces are in pursuit,
but at the same time he says Hancock is
storming the rifle pits ''this side of the
river" The reader is at liberty to recon-
q cile the statements in the Secretary's dis
patch as best he can.
There seems to have been another great
battle on Tuesday, resulting in Lee being
driven back to new line of defenses, but
z there is no foundation in the dispatches re-
ceived at this writing, midnight. for the i'm
preston which was derived from the read
ing of the dispatches in the Convention
yesterday, that Lees army is about to sur
render to Grant.

The Abolition State Convention.

The State Convention of the Miscegena-
tion party of Ohio was held in this city
Yesterday, and full and complete report
of its proceedings will be found in this is
sue of The STATESMAN. The Assemblage
was not large, and it was made up in part
and no inconsiderable part either-of shoul-
der-straps, cotton spectators, shoddy con-
the like. The President Col. STANLEY, was
"in full regimentals on this occasion, there
being no rebels around! He put on in
Vulnerable "airs," and cracked his whip
over the Convention as if he were driving
.Freedmenn (9) for the Government
on some Southern Plantation.
LUTHER Day, of Portage County, was
nominated for Judge of the Supreme Court,
for the full term. This was a sensible per-
formance on the part Of the Convention
for the Judge will now act, until after the
Election, with theparty that nominated him
for State Senator one week after he left the
Democracy! WILLIAM WHITE, of Clarke,
who now holds the position by appoint
ment, received the nomination for the long
vacancy; and HORACE WILDER, of Ashta-
hula. who is also on the Bench by appoint
ment, the nomination for the short vacancy.
The Convention, profting by what we said
about WILLIAM HENRY SMITH having all
the brains, and WILLIAM STANTON all the
hair-oil and neck-tie, had the good sense to
drop the latter in connection with the
Attorney -Generalship, and nominate the
former for Secretary of State. Col. w. P.
RICHARDSON, of Monroe, went through
with colors flying, for Attorney General.
For Comptroller of the Treasury, the fight
seemed to be between those who were in
favor of abolishing the Office and those who
wanted to keep the Office for their man,
The. latter won the race. aud nominated

Another Battle Expected.

Correspondence of the New York Tribune.l
TENTH ARMY CORPS, NEAR CITY POINT, VA.,l
Friday evening, May 20, 1854. !
There has been to-day fierce and san
culinary battle on the spot which i mem
toned in my last--the front of the Sd
division of this corps, under Gen. Ames.--
II. as its officers are disposed to think, and
as is of course not impossible (since the
most accurate observer Is liable to be mis-
informed), injustice has been done the 10th
corps in some of your published cores
pondence, the corps has had to-day, and
will have hereafter, an opportunity to prove
their fighting qualities beyond all cavil.
As has been before stated, our line passes
irregularly from the Appomattox on the
left to the James on the right. The ap-
proachable spot was at single point of the
line, in space of about 800 yards IN width
and the same in depth.
The rebels had come up in front of the
clearing, having followed us down from
Fort Darling, and had posted their first
guns i'm the yard of the Hewlett House,
This house is behind fall in the ground,
and at several points along the same line
they had posted light batteries. The clear
| ing is wholly our own work, and is faulty
| only In not having been done to a greater
extent. One strip of woods which threat
ened us with sharpshooters on Thursday is
happily now down; but those next the
Hewlett House remain, and are now be-
yond our power to remove.
On Wednesday night our pickets dug q
rifle pit in front of rebel position, and
about eight hundred yards from our line,
extending quarter of q mile into the
evident that this pitts invaluable to its pos
SCISSORS, and accordingly the rebels drove us
out OF it this morning, and the struggle Of
to-day has been an attempt to regain it,
which is so far unsuccessful, although we
have retaken the right OF it, which is In the
woods.
Last night there was an alarm between
| IL and IL and another between and 8
caused by picket firing. Both times there
was skirmishing and charging, but oui
troops held their pit. The moon shone, set
ting Just after the second alarm, and ouI
old enemy, the fog, was so thick that mar
could not be distinguished at fifteen PAGES
even In camp where fires had been burn
| ing all night. What mischief the rebels
might prepare under Its cover, no one
knew; but 1t was thought they would try
| to plant batteries in the woods on the right
of the Hewlett House, on the ground where
| is now our section of the rifle-pit, and fur.
ther alarm was looked for laterin the night
but none came. ,t-4c
At nine, or thereabouts, the muskets be-
gan lively crackle, and the guns opened
from the rebel position. Hurrying to the

PROCEEDINGS OF A DULL CONVENTION.

The Delegates to the Abolition State Con-
vention met at the Theatre in Columbus,
on Wednesday, May 25th, 1864, at ten O'Clock
in the forenoon, and were called to order by
Ex-G Governor Dennison, Chairman of the
State Central Committee, who read the call
under which the body assembled. After
reading the call, Gov. Dennison said he
knew not that he could perform duty
more cheering to the Convention than to
read the dispatch which had been received
by Governor Brough from the Secretary of
War, giving the military situation at the
time of sending the dispatch. (Cheers)
The Chairman then read the dispatch, an
iouncing that Grant had achieved COM
plete victory over Lee, driving him towards
Richmond, and inflicting terrific slaughter
upon the enemy. The reading of the dis
patch was received with cheers, and at its
conclusion, the brass band in attendance
executed the "Star Spangled Banner"
Gov. Dennison then announced that for
the purpose of effecting Temporary organ
ization, he would, with the permission of
the Convention, propose the name OF Col.
T. r. STANLEY, of the 18th Ohio Infantry,
Of Stone River and Chickamauga fame, as
temporary President. Colonel Stanley was
unanimously elected to the position, and,
on assuming the chair, thanked his long
time friend (Dennison) for the choice, and
the Convention for the unanimity with
which it had been endorsed. He had not
been in the habit of making speeches of
late years, but, if he had been, the glorious
news which had jnst been read-which was
undoubtedly true-was better speech than
he could make, long or short. AS they were
all minute men, and had important business
to perform, he would take the chair and
ask the Convention to proceed with the
business before it.
That being the next business in order,
the following Committees were announced:
