Convention, on Female Suffrage. The fol-
lowing hit at Mr.. GREELsY was especially

The chairman Of the committee had de-
clared his platform to be universal am

was right. He himself wanted to see the
golden harvest of peace wave over the
CORY battlefield. But consider how the
policy would work. A mother Of New
York, who had educated her son to re-
ligion and patriotism, gave him to bis coun-
try. The young man foil into the hands Of
the rebels and was consigned to the DEATH

from St. Petersburg, dated on tha 27tl

Of the destruction OF shipping ia the White
Sea by the breaking up of the ice
from which il is inferred that the loss has
been much greater than was previously re
ported. Moro than ono hundred ships
were lost and the crows were in despe

while some were on the drifting Hoes OF

the case Of Fulton County, OF least, both objects
will probably be attained. Prevailing public

of Fulton County, The Reverend gentleman is a
