he Chicago Convention. They are in fact the only Presidential candidates who appear now to have organized parties at their backs. The Chase forces are marshalled from the Northwest, and those of Banks come from the New England States. The contest is being rapidly developed. The fears of Mr. Lincoln's advocates are that he may be slaughtered in the house of his friends. Miscellaneous. It is understood that Gen.

A., is at present enjoying renewed health at his private mansion in Troy. In conversation with a gentleman a few days since, who remarked to the old hero, "General, you should be in the field at this particular juncture of the war," the General replied sternly, giving ample evidence of his ancient vigor, "They don't want me. They think me too old." Dr. Wm. P. Rucker, who escaped from jail at Danvil

h the lines. Barnum advertises the first appearance of the "distinguished English artistes," Mr. and Mrs. Gomersal. The New York Herald, commenting upon this announcement; says: They arrived several months ago, and were part of a company engaged by a rebel agent in England for the theatre at Richmond, Va. When we chronicled their arrival in New York we stated that they had chosen the wrong route for Richmond, and that they should have taken the regular rebel packet line which Secretary Welles allows to run to Wilmington, N. C. So the affair turned out. The actors went to Fortress Monroe, but were not permitted to eclipse the army of the Potomac and reach the rebel capital. It is stated, upon the authority of Mr. and Mrs. Gomersal themselves, that the rebel agent who accompanied them upon this trip has paid all their expenses while here, and has supplied them with their return passage money in gold. This statement somewhat conflicts with the current opinion of the rebe

Proceeding in the direction indicated until the rebel soldier was out of eight, they retraced their steps, and came to Burnt Ordinary, only two miles distant from the Union pickets. On Tuesday morning, at three o'clock, fatigued and completely worn out, they approached the Union pickets, and, being challenged, the Major asked whether he was a Union man or rebel, when the sentinel replied the former.--The picket, on asking "Who goes there?" received in reply, "Two Uni

Von Weitzien, of Scott's Nine Hundred cavalry. " The picket informed them that he belonged to the First New York Mounted Rifles, Colonel B. F. Onderdonk. He detained the fugitives until four o'clock, when the relief came up, and the two officers were escorted to the guard-house.

t was refused, the widow saying that she could not afford to feed and shelter soldiers who should be with the army and not running about the country. The plea of great patriotism to the Southern cause, however, caused the widow to relent and allow them to remain. From the conversation at the supper table the Major found that he and his-companions were again suspected of being "Yankees," from the fact that the son of the widow asked the Major his rank. The latter replied that he was Major J. W. Garrett, of the 53d North Carolina infantry, and that he was on his was to New Kent Court- House, to which place his regiment was en route, to be stationed for the protection of the inhabitants against Yankee raiders. Although this story evidently satisfied the "widow's son," still he wanted to know why he, as Major, had black velvet cuffs, which indicated a surgeon's rank. This question the Major solved by replying that, his cuffs becoming shabby he could not afford a new coat, and black v

Buckshot, no resistance was offered. On approaching the mines, however, one of the rebels, stationed as a picket, fired a gun at the party, and about fifty left for Janesville, a rendezvous about two miles distant. Word was brought that the rioters had assembled in mass at that place, and that from three to four hundred were ready to surround and bushwhack the soldiery in their further progress. A scout sent out among them confirmed this statement. Communication was immediately had with Hazelton, in the adjoining district, and a force of thirty cavalry and one hundred infantry started from there to Janesville on the morning of Friday, to cooperate with Capt. Yates. On entering Janesville on Friday the place was perfectly quiet; but in the course of half an hour the streets began to fill, and the mob to cluster and growl along the sidewalk.

At this house the fugitives remained over night, enjoying rest and supper and breakfast, for which they paid $8 rebel scrip, and only fulled suspicion by sheer impudence and lying. The next morning they met a darkey, who informed them that scouts were constantly up and down the road, hunting after two Yankee Generals who had escaped from Richmond. The travellers thereupon took an easterly course towards Jenkins's farm, where the rebels quartered last winter, and sought refuge in a deserted negro but where they remained until within two hours of dawn the next morning, chilled to the bone with cold and dampness, when they started again, and arrived at widow Bradford's house, where a negress, engaged in splitting wood, on seeing their approach, hurriedly came towards them, saying.--"I spec you is the
