seventy. A Presidential convention to be held at Cleveland, Ohio. A dispatch from the Herald's correspondent, from Washington, states that arrangements had been definitely made for the meeting of a popular convention, including delegations of the Republicans dissatisfied with the present administration, to be held at Cleveland, Ohio, about the 20th of May next. It is proposed to nominate then and there a consolidate for the Presidency. The peculiar advocates of the election of Mr. Lincoln are much more alarmed at this movement than at the prospect of either financial or military disasters. Military operations--two hundred prisoners captured by the rebels near Alexandria, La. The Herald has the following remarks on military operations in its "situation" article: Gen. Grant was in close consultation with the President yesterday morning. He will probably leave for the army to-day. The third division of the second corps, commanded by Gen. Birney, was reviewed

now. People are not so sure that the Government might not put off these certificates, and they do not answer the purpose of immediate and safe hiding away till after the war, or to be used in speculation abroad. Nay, more than and above all this, they are but the promises of a Government whose national debt is already beyond its ability ever to pay, and therefore do not command public confidence. The depreciation of Federal credit is already great, and it must continue to grow worse. Lincoln's Government may attempt to frustrate the story told by gold. For a time they may affect its oracles so that it may by its variations palter in a double sense. But it will continue to point the alarming downward index, showing the way of a rapidly depreciating and really an irredeemable paper currency. The very latest news, indeed, exhibits some efforts at improvement — gold goes down a little. Yet it will not be kept down. It will rise again and drive the Government to new and fruitle

y of the writer. The letter comes direct from Montreal, dated the 25th ult. It is very interesting, and we take the following extracts from It: The Change in Lincoln's Despotism in New York. The conservative masses, I am satisfied now, were always opposed to the war. A reign of terror existed for above a year. People were of all the leading journals. They preserve still the same characteristics. The Herald is quite as ridiculous and bombastic as of old. A while ago it was urging Lincoln for President. Suddenly it dropped Abraham and took up General Grant. Now the only man to save the Yankees from ruin is this same Grant, while "Old Abe" is noth superior of the white man. Greeley belongs to the anti-Lincoln faction of the Republican party, and inclines towards Chase or Fremont — The Times is the official Lincoln organ. It is violent, vindictive and mendacious in its abolitionism. The World belongs to the pie-bald Democracy; that is a small clique of weak headed and weak

A prophetic advertisement. --The following advertisement is copied by the Northern papers from a Massachusetts paper of February, 1861. That was before Lincoln's inauguration. How truthful and prophetic the words of this honest and prophetic old farmer have now proved in the terrible realities which have since transpired: For Sale. A Farm, containing ninety five acres or more of good land, situated (or located) right in sight of Amherst College, within one and a quarter miles. Also, one half of a saw mill, at the mouth of Miller's river in Montague. If J C Breckenridge had been chosen President my property would have been worth eight thousand dollars, but now since Lincoln has been chosen President I want to sell out and go away. I want to go away from Abolitionism — away from Maine Law ism — away from Neal Dowism — away from Aristocratism. I want to go away from all sensation. I want to go into some country where men are kind to each other — where men lo
