rtained, for a moment, any other thought than that of conquering a peace by the defeat of the rebel armies. No public man connected with the Administration is in favor of an armistice. I personally know that President Lincoln and the members of his Cabinet have undoubting faith in the success of our armies in the field and the ultimate complete triumph of our cause. And, with this belief, they will pursue the most vigorous measure to raise money and men. Henry Wilson. Natick, August 20, 1864. Miscellaneous. A new opera house, seventy by one hundred and sixty feet, is to be built in Baltimore. The Pennsylvania Legislature has appropriated $100,000 for the relief of the Chambersburg sufferers. General Brayman has confiscated the Catholic Cathedral at Natchez. This act causes intense excitement among the old settlers. Brigadier-General Hammond, Surgeon-General of the United States, has been dismissed the service for stealing and lying. The Union L

f New York papers of the 30th. We give below a summary of the news they contain: The first day of the Chicago Convention. The Chicago Convention met on the 29th, and the New York papers of the 30th are full of what was said and done there. We copy such of the preliminary proceedings as are interesting. Governor Seymour, ced 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.

y been foreshadowed. They will resolve for an armistice — just what the rebels want, in their present condition, in order to recruit their armies and fill up their exhausted commissariat. Then they will resolve for a national convention to adjust matters, and here they will stop. They know that no adjustment short of recognition of the independence of the South can take place, and they know that an armistice would be greatly to the advantage of the rebels, and hence they favor it. Mr. Fillmore's strength in the Convention will be confined to those States in which there are but few foreigners. In the West his Know-Nothing record of 1856 would ruin him, and it will throw him out of much strength he would otherwise have in the Convention. There are two delegations from Kentucky, one called the Bramlette delegation, and the other the Powell and Wickliffe delegation.

Medary and Cox, of Ohio; Guthrie, Robinson, and several others, from Kentucky; Richmond, the Woods, Belmont, McKcon, Seymour, and a host of lesser lights, from New York; Dana, from Maine; J. Glancey Jones, of Pennsylvania; Ex-Governor Campbell, S. R. Peyton and others, of Tennessee, and Rice, of Minnesota. Of course, it is such men who do all the managing — all the wire-working and thimble-rigging for the concern, who are, in fact, the party — the balance of the Convention being merely on hand for show, fo

nion, 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 as bringing on the horrors of civil war. How far the purpose of resistance in Indiana may go, may be gathered from the fact that an immense amount of arms has been imported into that State, and by the following extract from a letter dated at Indianapolis, August 19th: Facts, just come to light, put a new face on the address of the State Central Committee of the Democratic party. Its session of two days and nights was one of perplexity and peril. On the one hand was the defection of the peace wing of the party from its non-committal nominees, which had assumed such alarming proportions that the secret Order proposed revolution at once. There were present at that meeting of the committee such Congressmen as Voorhees, who, more than a year ago, pr

l, and as his personal relations with the President are understood to be intimate, he is understood to speak on such subjects as if "by authority." The effect of his assurances on the public mind are visible in the general relinquishment of the hitherto prevalent idea that the drawing would be deferred. Apart from Mr. Dawson's assurances, however, I may state that we have satisfactory assurances from higher (official) sources that the draft 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.

sword. Joseph K. Edgerton, of the Fort Wayne district, was also with the committee. On the 6th of June, 1863, he denounced the Burnside and Hassall policy in Ohio and Indiana, and said:"The end of these acts of despotism must come, either by Mr. Lincoln's administration wholly abandoning them, or by their resistance by the people even unto death." Such were the men who met to squelch the scheme for revolution planned by the Sons of Liberty, who fixed the 16th of this month for seizing Governor Morton and other officials, getting possession of the arsenals, liberating rebel prisoners, establishing a provisional government, and thus arraying the Northwest in rebellion. Bingham, of the Sentinel, and Pristine, State Auditor, were called up before the committee, and admitted they belonged to the Order, but were not in its inner circle, and did not know of the plot. McDonald returned from the North on Saturday. He met the committee; and H. H. Dood and J. C. Walker, State Agents

That they had recently met Sanders and Holcombe at Clifton, Canada, and agreed on this plot. McDonald asked Dodd, "How many troops do you think there are about Indianapolis." He answered, "Only a few invalids and veterans." "There are enough," said McDonald, "to whip you and your whole Order in the State. " McDonald and others of the committee protested against revolution now as madness, and prevailed on Dodd to send a secret circular, by virtue of his authority as Grand Commander, ordering the various Lodges to desist from revolution now. The circular was sent, and the 16th passed off without the revolution planned by the Order. This revelation throws new light on the advice of the State Central Committee to the Copperheads to form open armed organizations, and proves that the whole intent is to put, in the name of law, arms in the han

dent, and the nomination was carried. Ex-Governor Bigler, on taking his seat, made what might be called in peace times a "Union" speech, saying a great deal about the North, South, East and West rallying under the Constitution, (what Constitution?) which is of no interest to our readers in the Confederacy. After the appointment of the proper committees, various resolutions were read and referred. Among them was one by Governor Hunt, of New York, for a convention of all the States; one by Mr. Long, of Ohio, asking Lincoln to suspend his draft for 500,000 men until after the Presidential election; one by Mr. Price, of Missouri, pledging all the (United) States to stand by each other if the "rights" of any one are trampled on by Lincoln; and the last one by Mr. Allicks, of Pennsylvania, re-affirming the Monroe doctrine!! The Convention then adjourned till the next day. A telegram from Chicago, in the New York Times, dated the 29th, says: As yet, little or no difference of opinion
