patch from Headquarters 9th Corps, at Hall
town. 23d, says the reconnaissance sent out
al an early hour this morning on the
Charlestown pike, discovered nothing but a
line Of skirmishers.
Movements for the past few days show
that the return of Sheridan from the banks
of Cedar Run had placed this army in po-
siton of advantage for offensive and defen-
sive operations which it is impossible to OBJ
tain at that point.
There art two roads by which the enemy
can attempt to enter Maryland, through
Smither's Gap or cross the Potomac via
Shepardstown and thence through the gap
of South Mountain.
To go through Smither's Gap they mnst
first retreat, and l.. either case we have the
inside track

skins stuffed in their mouths.

Second Dispatch.
BALTIMORE. June 8.

BALTIMORE, June q.
When the question Of nominating Pre-
sident came up Simon Cameron moved the
denomination Of Lincoln and Hsmlin.
A person, called Stone, from Iowa, was
exceedingly anxious to ge! some cheap
notoriety by making the motion to reno
nominate Lincoln, and made laughing
stock Of himself for nearly half an hour
in fruitless efforts to get his motion ahead
Of Mr.. Cameron, but finally he was press
cd down.
At last Cameron withdrew Hamlin's
name, and the suggestion Of Mr.. Ray
mOnd, vote was taken BY States. All
voted for Lincoln except Missouri.
Mr.. Hume, leading editor Of the st.
Louis Democrat, explained that they were
under instructions and could not vote for
Lincoln, but would heartily support him.
He cast the vote Of the State for US.
Grant.
Mr.. Hume then moved that the nomins-
ton be made unanimous. It was done
by acclamatiOn, Mr.. Hume saying he did
not care whether the vote was changed or
not. The whole assembly rose and chOered,
the bands struck up national airs, and
genera. excitement prevailed.
Jim Lane then made persistent effort
to get Tennessee allowed to vote.
The platform approved in the main the
resolution declaring for a constitutional
and complete abolition Of slavery evoked
the most enthusiastic applause; that pro-
testing against the French interference
in Mexico came next in popularity, some
parts OF it were not particularly sp.
plauded, but there seems to be no special
objection to any Of it. The absence Of
anything On the subject Of conascation
is nO:ed and commented upon.

A new era in portrsiture is predicted
from the discovery Of Mr.. Swan, who pre-
sents solid life.like likeness ofsny one,
enclosed in cube Of crystal. The effect
Of the new process is 10 exhibit the subject
Of the portraiture with life like Verisimili-
tude, and in natural relief. You take up q
small case, and lo7k through what sp.
pears to be little window, and there
stands or sits before you, in pleasantly
lighted chamber, marvellous ehigy of a
lady or gentleman, as the case may be.
The projection Of the nose, the moulding Of
the lips, and all the gradstions Of contour,
are ss distinct as if an able sculptor had
exercised his skill but the hair and the
flesh are Of their proper tint, and the
whole thing has singulsrly vital and
comfortable lock. Indeed, were it not for
the reduction in sizs, it would be difficult
to avoid the belief that an actual man or
woman, in ordinary dress, and with char
scteristio expression, was presented to
your eye. The Swan system is sbout to
be introduced inte the United States.
