day, in New York city. The Democrats are holding conventions in our State and city, organizing their broken-down secessionized party. It includes, almost without an exception, those who sympathise with the rebellion, and are generally known here as secessionists favorable to dissolving the Union. They talk of nominating, and probably will, Colonel Maulaby, as their candidate for Governor. He is an old Democrat, and has been in the army; was at Harper's Ferry when it surrendered to "Stonewall" Jackson. The Colonel, however, is a very clever gentleman, and were be not in bad company, might make a good run. Around Richmond.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has a letter from below Richm
From General Early's Army. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp near New Market, November 2, 1864.

Another question decided upon by the rebel council was as to whether the ram Olinde, or Stonewall, should fight or not. Her, commander, Captain Page, of the old navy, a fighting man and an accomplished officer, has been here in consultation with the council, and left-two days ago to return his vessel in the port of Corunna. Before leaving, he declared that his vessel was perfectly competent to cross the sea, and that he was going to go out at once and fight the Federal fleet. His instructions, therefore, from the council seem to be to fight. Whether he has been instructed to revenge
The "Stonewall." --The New York Herald claims to have received authentic information that "the Spanish Government has forbidden the further repairs or fitting out of the rebel ram 'Stonewall' at Ferrol; and as she is not now in a condition to proceed to sea, this is equivalent to a termination to her career as a rebel cruiser.
