The Chicago Convention--nominations made on the thirty-first of August. For President — George B. McClellan. For Vice-President--George H. Pendleton. The Washington Chronicle of the 1st instant contains the following dispatch from Chicago, which we condense: Chicago, August 31--1 o'clock.--The Convention re- assembled at 10 o'clock. The Wigwam was densely packed, and the crowd outside greater than ever. Immediately after the Convention was called to order, prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr. Haley, of Chicago. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That this Convention shall not be dissolved by adjournment at the close of its business, but shall remain organized, subject to be called at any time and place that the Executive National Committee shall designate. The President then stated the question before the Convention to be on ordering the previous question, to proceed to the nomination of a candidate for the Presidency, and it was or

. Mr. Wickliffe offered a resolution to the effect that Kentucky expects the first act of General McClellan, when inaugurated next March, will be to open the prisons and set the captives free; which was carried unanimously. The Convention then voted for Vice-President. The first ballot resulted as follows: James Guthrie, 65½ George H. Pendleton, 54½ Daniel W. Voorhees, 13; George W. Cass, 26; August Dodge, 9; J. D. Caton, 16; Governor Powell, 32½; John J. Phelps, 8; Blank, ½ On the second ballot, New York threw its whole vote for Pendleton. The other candidates were then withdrawn, and George H. Pendleton, of Ohio, was unanimously nominated. Mr. Pendleton, being loudly called for, could only promise to devote himself in future, as in the past, with entire devotion to the great principles which lie at the foundation of our government — the rights of the States and the liberties of the people in the future as in the past. * * * With the hearts of millions of freemen with <

Cris. Kribben was a violent secession one, such as the Hon. Cris would find it unhealthy to deliver at his home in St. Louis. He took the bold ground that the war was prima facie wrong, and that the Federal Government had no power and no right to coerce a State. It was such a speech a should have caused the ears of every Democrat hearing it to tingle with shame for listening to a moral traitor. Altogether the tenor of the assemblage was much more conservative than that at Peoria on the 3d. In point of numbers, I should estimate it at about four thousand. Everything passed off in quiet so far as known. I send a brief synopsis of the resolutions passed, to wit: Resolution first re-affirms the devotion of the Democracy to the Constitution and Union, and also to the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1798 and 1799; further, that the Democracy of Illinois reiterate and adopt the resolutions of the Democratic State Convention of January, 1861, which disapproves of coercion

bout 11 o'clock a body of the enemy's cavalry, having taken a circuitous route from their main army, dashed down upon Dearing's camp, on the road to Dinwiddie Courthouse, intending to surprise and capture the whole command. Dearing's men, however, were fully prepared, and repulsed them with ease, driving them back to their lines. A number of prisoners were brought over last evening and assigned quarters in the Libby. Colonel Thompson B. Lamar, of Florida, who was wounded on the 20th ultimo on the Weldon railroad, died in Dinwiddie county on Tuesday last. He was a brave and gallant officer. From Georgia. We have news of fighting near Atlanta, but the accounts thus far received are confused and unsatisfactory. It is stated that on Wednesday last the enemy's entrenchments were attacked and taken by Generals Stephen D. Lee and Patrick Cleburne, with Hardee's corps; but the enemy having received heavy reinforcements, no decisive advantage was gained by our troops. We

raft will be enforced on the day alluded to. Provost- Marshal-General Fry telegraphs (this day) to General Hayes to spare no pains to have all the arrangements perfected by the 1st proximo. There is reason to believe, also, that a numerous body of Western troops are now on their way towards this city with a view to the maintenance of order. In Illinois the revolution fever seems to be high from the following extract from a letter giving an account of a meeting at Springfield on the 21st ultimo: The Hon, and Right Rev. Henry Clay Dean next spoke. He laid it down as a distinct proposition that there were two rebellions at present in this country — that of Davis and that of Lincoln. We had been fighting the former, and now he would like to fight the latter a little. He declared that the Democratic party were responsible for all the villainies of the Administration. The way to correct the war was to refuse to vote supplies, as the Commons in England were wont to check the K

ric Spark, had captured the Federal merchantman Ithacan, Nicholas Deills, bound from California to New York, having seventy thousand dollars in specie on board and an extremely valuable cargo. The Florida took out the treasure and portions of the cargo and her crew. The vessel and cargo, valued at £20,000, were then set fire to and destroyed. The steamer Crescent has arrived at Hilton Head, South Carolina, with six hundred Confederate officers, to be placed under fire off Charleston. These officers, it is positively stated, will not be exchanged. General Sheridan is reported as advancing up the Valley on the 29th. An officer from the front, on the 25th, says that Sherman was moving the bulk of his army to a position on the Macon and Georgia railroad, in the rear of Hood's forces. Heavy skirmishing is going on. Gold fell in New York, on the 29th, 10 per cent., and was quoted at 237. The New York Times says that the prospect of McClellan's nomination did this.

r received are confused and unsatisfactory. It is stated that on Wednesday last the enemy's entrenchments were attacked and taken by Generals Stephen D. Lee and Patrick Cleburne, with Hardee's corps; but the enemy having received heavy reinforcements, no decisive advantage was gained by our troops. We are not informed whether this attack was made upon the enemy's right, on the West Point railroad, or on his left, on the Sandtown road. The Yankees, in their change of position on the 26th ultimo, abandoned the Georgia railroad and swung around until their right rested on the West Point railroad, south of Atlanta, with the view of interrupting our communications. The attack on Wednesday may have been an effort to dislodge them from this position. That the engagement was not general along the entire length of the lines is manifest from the fact that only a portion of our forces participated; but the confused nature of the accounts thus far received renders it impossible to give a

Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars reward for my Servant, Edward, twenty or twenty-one years old, black, stout and likely; has a scar near or upon one ear; is a good house servant. He left my farm on Sunday night, the 28th ultimo, and is, I believe, in Richmond, where he has relatives and friends. He may possibly be found at the African Church, or other meetings of Baptist negroes. William H. Richardson. se 3--3t*

Six Hundred Dollars reward. --Ran away from my stables, on the night of the 28th ultimo, my two Negro men, named Albert and Henry. Henry is about twenty-two or twenty-three years old, about five feet six inches high, black, and stammers very badly when talking. Albert is about twenty years old, five feet seven inches high, bright mulatto, with smooth face and very large feet and hands. I will pay the above reward for them, or three hundred dollars for either one, delivered to me at my stables, on Franklin street. They are evidently making their way to the Yankee lines. James C. Johnson. Virginia Stables, Franklin street, Richmond, Virginia. se 3--10t
