Gen. Fremont's Letter Accepting
the Nomination of the Cleveland

convention.
New YORK, June CA long letter from
Fremont, accepting the nomination, con-
cludes as follows:
''Ifthe Convention at Baltimore will nom
mate any man whose past life justifies well
grounded confidence in his fidelity to our
cardinal principles, there is no reason why
there should be any division among the re-
ally patriotic men of the country. To any
such ,1, IL; shall l, be most happy to give cor;
preference is to aid In this Wsy and urT,ue not ba
myself candidate. But if Lincoln be re-
nominated, as l believe it would be fatal to
the country to endorse his policy and re-
new power which has cost us the lives of
thousands of men, and needlessly put the
country on the road to bankruptcy, there
will remain no alternative but to organize
against them every element of conscien-
tious opposition, with the view to prevent
the misfortune of his reelection.
In this contingency accept the nomina-
tion at Cleveland, and as preliminary step,
l have resigned my commission in the ar
my. This was sacrifice which it gave me
pain to make, but l had for long time
fruitlessly endeavored to obtain service. l
make this sacrifice now only to regain the
liberty of speech, and leave nothing in the
way Of dscharging to my utmost ability
the task you have set before me.
With earnest and sincere thanks for your
expressions of confidence and regard, and
for the many honorable terms in which you
acquaint me with the action of the COM
mittee, am, gentlemen,
Very respectfully and truly yours,

MANsFIELD's Dispensatory says that most
of the Sarsaparilla Of the shops is inert and
worthless. DR.. Aver in his writings Oh
this drug states that not only is it inert as
found in the shops, but so also are most of
the preparations from it, or bearing its
name. He shows, however, that this fact
arises from the use of worthless varieties,
or unskilful preparations by incompetent
men; that the true Medicinal Sarsaparilla
(Sarza Smilax off, of the tropics, when
freshly gathered in the bud, is one of the
most etfcctual alternatives we possess. Com
bined with other substances of great alter
atve power, like Iodine, Stillingia, Dock,
&C., it makes Ayers Comp. Ext. of Sarsp.,
which we have reason to believe is one of
the most effectual remedies for humors,
skin diseases and for purifying the blood
which has ever yet been found by anybody.

From SiIerni;in's Communicates
esting Details Of the Battle Of the
9Slh uIt.

New YORK, June 6.-The Herald corres-
pondent with Sherman, gives details of the
battle of New Hope Church, on the 2Sth ult.
About Z. NJ. the enemy gave signs of ac-
tivity, and soon moved heavy body en-
masse from the wood before McPherson's
army and Harrow's division. They marched
boldly up the hill, exposed to a severe ar
tillery fire. When they had reached with
in less than 100 yards of the breastworks,
our infantry poured upon the thick
mass, terrible yOlley-the column stagger-
ed but were rallied, fired and made efforts
to approach closer. The troops now be-
came holly engaged, and though the rebels
greatly ousnumbercd us they were held at
bay. Our artillery secured abetter position,
and with shrapnel ana shell soon sent the
rebel mass rushing for the protection of the
ravine and wood near by.
Another attack was soon made upon an
other portion of McPhersons line, COM
manded by Gen. Osterhaus. Though made
with even more impetuosity it met with
the same fate. A lull ensued, but the rebels
were brought up for the third attack, still
against Mcpherson and against Sweeny's
division, 10th corps They first presented
the same bold front, but did not last as long,
as they were discouraged and were sent
back with serious loss. From prisoners, we
learned that the rebels consisted of five di-
visions, the flower of Johnston's army, COM
manded by Cheatham, Cleburne and Bates.
Five hundred will cover our total losses of
this day. The rebels hurled five divisions
a gainst three of ours.

Interesting DetaiIs-Bnldy Smith
forms "a junction with the Main
Army-Grant's NIastcrIy Strategy

NEW YORK, May 6.--Ihe Tribune's special
from the headquarters of the Army of the
POTOMAC, dated Thursday, June "a, SAYS:
Ile successful operations of the 9th corps
on Monday, followed by the advance of the
"a corps on Tuesday A. NJ, compelled the
enemy to withdraw from their line Oh the
Topotomay. They have retreated TO the
South side of the Chickahominy, with the
exception of their line towards our advance.
Our cavalry entered Mechanicsville last
evening, after scouting about the old battle
field of Chickahominy.
Grant still pushes his left flank success
fnlly, and his strategy battles the maneuvels
Oftlle enemy. Having offered them battle on
the Topotolnay, with his right wing resting
on the Virginia Central Railroad, and hay-
ing compelled the enemy to withdraw across
the Chickah0miny, he has thrown his left
wing, with his usual celebrity, away to the
east of Richmond, and is now threatening
the crossing of the Chickahominy Mt Bot
tom Bridge. This Is now the point OF In
terest.
Baldy Smith arrived from White House
just in time to get in the action and co-ope-
rate with our left flank last night. All day
hrlng IN that direction indicates that Sc
we're battle has been waging, and tonight
we are glad to observe the cannonading to
NC peTccptluly more distant. Our new
base snow completely established at White
House.
New YORK, June G.-The Tribune's cor
respondent near Cold Harbor, June I'd,
says the fourth grand flank movement Is
now In progress, and judging from reports
the movement will prove success. The
battle yesterday, severe as it was, resulted
In our taking six hundred and fifty prison.
ers and the enemy's principal works. At
SIX "A. NJ, the whole line moved forward
by narrow belt Of woods, passed on,
reaching an open plowed field, with the
enemY's position in full view. Picket's
division Immediately opened with a heavy
fire of artillery and musketry, but the men
nobly advanced through a deadly storm,
through the swamp, and with bayonets
drove the enemy pell nell from their earth
works, which they held during the night
against repeated assaults. This feat elected
from Meade his thanks.
Smiths junction with Wright, this cor
respondent says, so opportune was it, re-
veals the fact that the Army of the Potomac
is under the guidance of minds possessed of
mastery ability. Beauregard's force, with
part of Hills and Longstreet's, were en-
gagged in the battle yesterday. Our total
loss amounted to eighteen hundred.

day in the vicinity of IIowes' store. The
first attack was made on Hampton's COM
mand, which was badly defeated, with
heavy loss. We afterward attacked Hills
left on the Totopotomy rver and drove one
brigade out of their works and held the
place an hour. We then Withdrew. We
now hold Howes' store. Gen. Wilson
blvouacked last night between Bethesada
Church and the Pamunky river and has
strong position. Our loss was not heavy.
The loss in yesterdays engagement was
more severe than at first reported. To-day
the army has rested and nothing but artii-
lery duelling has occurred.
In the fight yesterday Breckenridge oc-
cupled the right, Beauregard next, Long
streets corps in the center, and Ewell on
the left, while Hills corps was held in re-
serve.
Their artillery fire was good at some
points. Two of our caissons were exploded
by their shells, and a number of men and
horses killed and wounded. The wounded
are being sent off as rapidly as possible.
Among yesterdays casualties were Capt. j.
.Wayand, 10th Ohio, leg; Capt. ii. Hard

To Major General Die:
Dispatches from Grants headquarters TO

no fighting during the day. The enemy
made an attack OH Saturday night upon
Hancock, Wright and Smith, but were
everywhere repulsed. Hancock's lines are
within 40 yards of the rebel works. The

party across to the east side.
a dispatch from Sherman dated yester-
day A. NJ at Altoona Creek, states that the
enemy, discovering us moving around his
right flank, abandoned his position last
night and marched off. Mcpherson is
moving to-day for Ackworth. Thomas is
on the direct Marietta road, and Schofield
on his right. 1t has been raining hard for
three days-roads heavy. The enemy had
an immense line of works, which we have
turned with less loss to us than them.

sixth Ohio regiment Of veterans were fur
loughed home from this city yesterday -
They have just returned from the disastrous
expedition conducted by General Banks up
the Red river, in which the regiment was
nearly annihilated, losing all its field and
staff officers, and one half of its rank and
file. The regiment was recruited by Col.
Rainer, of Portsmouth, but comes home
under command of Capt. Mannering. The
men were enjoying their first day of liber-
ty about town yesterday, but so far as we
have heard they conducted themselves in a
decent and truly soldier-like manner. May
they return to the field of action recruited
and reinvigorated by their season of recre-
alton, and may they have better fortune
next time.

DUsT-The following item appeared in
this department of the STATESMAN several
years ago. Somebody took the trouble to
preserve 1t, for we now find the waif re-
turning to us in one of our country ex-
changes rs an original local item. We re-
publish the vagabond squib because it is
applicable at this time, and for the benefit
of new subscribers:
We dislike dust. We don't believe in
dust 10 matter if we have to return to
dust. The oriental travellers tell us of the
glittering deserts of "Araby, the blest," and
the appalling simoons which sometimes
sweep those sandy plains with such terrific
effect rs to wither every creature in whose
nostrils courses the breath Of life, piercing
all penetrable stuff with invisible particles
of parched sand. Those not familiar with
the meteorological phenomena of Arabia,
will consider the exhibitions during several
days of the past week as near an approach
to series of simoons as would be consis-
tent with safety or comfort. Dust pene-
trated the eyes, ears and nostrils of all liv-
ing things, rendering mundane affairs rath-
er obscure to the perceptions. Dust crept
through the crevices of closed windows, and
into offices already overstocked with dust;
dust insinuated itself into parlors, cham
bers and kitchens to the great disgust of
tidy housewives; dust entered the stores OF
enterprsing merchants, not only to the
disgust of clerks. but to the damage of dry
goods; and finally, the presence of the
ubiquitous element recalled to the minds of
the dusty many, the old rhyme:
Saith the preacher, 'minre dust
Let us minge as VIC must"
