A convention of Yankee politicians is to be held at Chicago to-day. I reckon they will spout a good deal about the “gal-lorious Union,” the “best government the world ever saw,” the “stars and stripes,” “rebels,” “traitors,” et id omne. Our entire corps was in order of battle all day, and General Breckinridge drove the enemy some distance from his front. The Twelfth Alabama went on picket at night.
