The report as admit was then
adopted.

The Committee on Resolutions report-
ed through Mr. Raymond. First resolu-
tion demands suppression of the rebellion
by force of arms. Second declares no
compromise possible or allowable except
upon unconditional surrender of armed
rebels, and the laying down of arms, and
demands that government shall rigidly

Pacific Railroad. Tenth pledges national
faith for repayment for public debt, and
declares that proper and effectual taxes

Eleventh declares that the Monroe doc-
trine shall be maintained.

The reading of the resolutions elicited
the wildest enthusiasm, especially the
emancipation and auti‘slavery sentiments.
The mention of the name of Lincoln was
received with tremenduous cheering, and
the resolution endorsing the Monroe
doctrine.

The resolutions were adopted by accla-
mation amid general enthusiasm.

Mr. Cameron offered the following:

Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln, of
Illinois, be declared the choice of the
Union party for President, and Hannibal
Hamlin, of Maine, for Vlce-PreSldent of
the Hailed States.

Mr. Stone, of Iowa, moved that the
resolution lie on the table.

Mr. Cook, of Illinois, offered another
resolution to the effect that Abraham
Lincoln be duly declared candidate for
President.

Mr. Stevens demanded a. vote on mo-
tion to lay Mr. Cameron’s resolution on
the table.

Mr. Stone interrupted, calling for di-
vision of question.

This was ruled out of order.
uproar and confusion ensued.

Geu. Lane appealed to Mr. Cameron
to withdraw his resolution. .

Mr. Cameron finally modified his reso-
lution, and moved the nomination of
Abraham Lincoln for President for sec
oud term.

Intense excitement ensued. Uproars
of applause added. to the confusion.—
Presideut hammering and persons rising
in all parts of the House and calling on
the chair.

The President demanded that Gen.
Cameron should withdraw his resolution
absolutely

This he declined, but signified he had
modified it so as to include only Lincoln.

Motion was made to call roll of States.

At the suggestion of Mr. Raymond a
vote was taken by States, and Mr. Lin-
coln received all but Missouri, which cast
22 for Grant.

On motion of Mr. Hume, of Missouri,
the vote was declared unanimous.

The enthusiasm was perfectly indescrib
able, the Convention on its feet, the band
playing “ Hail Columbia.”

The Chairman received a dispatch
from the Secretary of War giving good

' news from Gen. Hunter (Great cheering.

The Convention resolved to proceed to
the choice of a candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent.

The names of Andrew Johnson, Hani
bal Hamlin, L. H. Roussou, and- Daniel
Dickinson were put before the Conven-
tion. As the vote proceeded itrwassoon
apparent that Johnson was to be the
nominee, and before a vote was an-
nounced the various States, whose votes
had been divided, commenced. ehauginfi

great enthuSlasm.

EDITORIAL LETTER.

The National Convention !
BALTIMORE, June 8th, 1864.
How infinitely wide the contrast—this
vast assemblage of talent, statesmanship and
beauty, now greeting my eyes, and the near
forty days of cannon roar, of musket volley,
of shattered, bleeding humanity, of long
trenches of dead heroes,shrouded in Federal
blue, which has darkened my vision and op-
pressed and clouded my brain as with the
horrors of some dire insanity, and from
which I have but just emerged !
For many reasons the Union National
Convention of 1864 will live in history as
one of the most remarkable events of our
truly remarkable era. The re-uomination
of our noble President was a fixed fact—an
event rendered certain long ago by the great
ground-swells of the people’s preference,and
yet the lessons of to-day’s Convention are as
original, and striking, and instructive as if a
new candidate had been selected.
The assignment of Old Dr. Breckenridge
to the Chair, upon the opening of the GOD'-
vention, was full of inspiration, and waked
the echoes of this vast theater, as with ven-
erable mien, and face remarkably suggestive
of “Old John Brown" in its outlines, he
stepped forward, and with clear and brave
enunciation he hurled his anathemas upon
treason, and pronounced his deliberate judg-
ment that “the whole power of this Govern-
ment, both of Peace and of War, should be
exerted to cit-terminate Slacery.”
To Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, was assigned
1.118 honor of Permanent Chairman of the
Convention—an olive branch, it is said, del-
icately tendered to those of the Buckeye
State who may have preferred one of her
own distinguished sons. But the great anx-
iety of the true men of the Convention, as
well as the “managers” in their evening cau-
cuses, was how to get over the “Radical” and
“Blair," or “Claybauk” difficulties which
confronted us with their double sets of dele-
gates. The question was referred to the-
Committee on Credentials to report. The
zeal and activity of the Henry Winter Davis
party had saved us any trouble from Mary-
land, but Missouri came up for admission
with the same angry determination they had
contested public measures at home. The
Committee, after a long and patient hearing,
were satisfied the Radical delegates were the
only ones regularly appointed, and so unani—
mously reported them as entitled to seats in
the Convention ! Hearts seemed to jump
into mouths, hats flew into the air, and the
vast recesses of the theater building fairly
shook and trembled with the Wild applause!
The Falstafliau Chairman (Ex-Seflstor King
of N. Y.) however—good soul that he is—
sought to anodyne any hard feelings which
such an overwnelming expression might cu-
gender in the “Conservative” bosoms of the
Blair faction. He moved that both delega-
tions be admitted, and upon all questions of
disagreement the vote should be divided be-
tween them. The vote on the tender propo-
sition was taken by States, and out of all the
hundreds of that full Convention “Conserva-
tism”carricd four votes! This was the sig-
nal for. the wildest enthusiasm, and long and
loud rang the Speaker’s gavel before order
was again restored. 00pperhcadism might
have been endured,but there was no quarter
in' the Convention for friendly “Conserva—
tism,” while the veil of the Union Temple is
rent in twain, in the travail of its new birth!
Let our new laurelled President and the
People he admonished by the Significant
lesson. ‘
On all hands it seemed conceded that New
York should name one of her sons for Vice
President, but as is too often the case with
the politicians in that great State, her lead-
ers couldn’t agree. The Seward wing were
afraid he would thereby be ousted from his

; place in the Cabinet, and especially in the

nomination of that noble old Roman, Daniel

" S. Dickinson, the Greeleyz'tcs would somehow

come in ahead. So New York very wisely
agreed to disagree, and proposed to Massa-
chusetts to support “Bully Ben Butler 1”—
I‘lle suggestion was adopted with remarka-
ble unanimity and enthusiasm, and I have
no doubt that three-quarters of those who
left the preliminary caucus, where the slate
was supposed to be fixed, entered the Con-
vention with the conviction that Butler
would be nominated But “the best laid
schemes 0’ mice and men,” &c. Old Con-
necticut started off the first among all the
States with her entire vote solid for brave
old Andy Johnson, of Tennessee. Tlle‘cx-
ample seemed infections, as State after State
followed in quick succession, and those who
had voted for others seemed only too anx-
ious to recall their votes and make the nom-
.iuation as unanimous as for the President.
Upon the announcement, tumults of applause
again rose and swelled all hearts and throats
with a tempest of emotion.

_ Next came the resolutions, read in clear
and beautiful tones, by the Chairman, Henry
J. Raymond. Sitting in front of the stage,
and looking up and out upon the sea of
eager human faces, it was easy to catch the
all-absorbing sentiment burning within the
breasts of that vast assemblage, as the res-
olutions were read. The allusion to our he-
roes, fighting, wounded, falleu,-and indeed
every earnest, intense loyal, radical sentiment
was intuitively caught and applauded K; the
echo. Verily the Union men of America
are unitedly, terribly in earnest. B.

St.‘~Domingo. .
We have had a call from Mr. Davis Hatch
of South Norwalk, who has just returned

home from Santo Domingo, via Havana. We:

are glad to learn that lie has been completely
successful in his mission there, and brought
with him grants of the whole Salt Mountain
in that Island and permission from the Gov-
crnmcut to construct a railroad from the
Mountain to the Sea-board.

Mr. Hatch left St. Domingo city on the
20Lh hit. The great Spanish expedition, of
twenty-two ships of war and transports, that
left St. Jago de Cuba’ on the 12th ult., laud-
ed at Monte Christo, on the Northwest coast,
near the Haytien frontier, on the 18th. The
Dominicans made but a feeble resistance to
their landing. It is supposed they had pre-
viously removed their heaviest guns,as there
were only thifisen, and those of small cali-
bre, found there, although a few days previ-
ous the steam sloop of war “Leon,” while
reconnoitrin g and sounding, had a shot
sent entirely through her wheel, four miles
off. The object of the expedition is to
march up the Vega to the Dominican capi-
tal, about 100 miles from Monte Christo—
As the greater part of the distance is through
a dense forest, the Dominicans will have an
opportunity to exercise their skill in their
peculiar mode of warfare, in harassing the
Spaniards in their march, and cutting off
their supplies from Monte Christo. The ex-
pedition was commanded by the Captain
General of St. Domingo in person. The
Spanish Government have made public their
determination, that in case of the failure of
this expedition to take the “rebel capital,”
to send out a force of 30,000 for the same
object. The Dominicans, however,manifest
the most entire confidence in their ability to
cope with any force that Spain can bring
against them; relying chiefly upon the cli-
mate to do' its work upon European consti—
tutions—always so fatal in the tropics when-
ever they are exposed, marching and bivou-
acking in the night air. The terrible mor-
tality since the war broke out, and the great
difficulty already experienced in raising the
funds necessary to carry on the war, has
caused a great deal of dissatisfaction in Cu-
ba and Porto Rico, and also in Spain; and,
if they are unsuccessful in the present expe-
dition, it is doubtful if the Government
makes any further attempt to conquer the
Dominicans, but hold the principal ports
until some arrangement is made with them.
The Archbishop, who was supposed to have
been the cause of the outbreak at first, by
closing the Protestant Church and burying
ground, and the Jewish burying ground,
and demanding of the Free Masons to de-
liver up their badges, left for Spain on the
10th of May. The Dominicans obtain their
supplies of arms and ammunition flom Nas—
sau‘, but depend entirely upon the resources
of the country for provisions.

The Tableaux.

The entertainment of Tableaux and Music,
for the benefit of the Christian Commission,
spoken of in our last, is to come off at Lock-
wood‘s Hall, on Thursday and Friday evej
nings, of this week. They have been a
long time in preparation, and we anticipate
a fine entertainment. They will be specially
interesting as the various characters are all
to be represented by ladies and gentlemen of
this place. The music is to be furnished by
Mr. Geo. Allen,of New York. Reserved seats
can now be obtained at Selleck’s Bookstore.

SCRIMMAGE.—A disgraceful affair occurred
in our streets late on Saturday night last.
A party of young fellows,—probably the
same who delight lately in making night
hideous with their discordant yells,—attack-
ed three young men near the bridge, who, it
seems defended themselves to the best of
their ability. A fight ensued in which fists,
canes and stones Were freely used, and final-
ly one of the party attacked drew a pistol,
and fired two shots in the air, and a third
into the crowd. No one was hurt, _but the
ball passed through one of the large heavy
plate windows of Morris & Doty’s store. A
Silk hat, lost in the scrimmagenvas return ed
the next day, we are told, with an apology
and the usual excuse of drunkenness. We
hope the community will be disturbed with
no more disgraceful affairs of this kind.
Boys, take our advice, leave liquor alone, and
go home to bed at the proper time-

Correspondence of the Gazette.
BAanLoR’s CREEK near Newborne, i
_ - *N. 0., May 30th. 1864.

As all the military departments in the
United States are at present in a state of tur-
moil, perhaps a few' lines from this depart-
ment may not be amiss to the readers of the
Gas file. Notwithstanding that the Summer’s
campaign was opened in this State, and cv-
erything indicated at the time a hard strug-
gle between the two ,opposing armies in
North Carolina, nothing very serious has oc-
curled in any way detrimental to the Feder-
al cause. Never was so much quietness en-
joyed here before as present, and I may say
for the past month. This of course is ow-
ing to GRANT’S determined and successful
movements in Virginia, as by those move-
ments the rebel General Lee was forced to
call to his aid all the confederate forces that
were in this State. The only demonstra-
‘tions made by the enemy in this State, were
made as you are already aware against the
town of Plymouth, which fell into his hands
and two attacks subsequently made upon our
forces in front of Newberne. Both attempts
to take the latter place proved a decided fail-
ure.

We apprehend no great fears to the Union
cause in this State so long as the armies un-
der Grant and Butler are victorious. The
army of Eastern Virginia can give employ-
ment enough to the rebels for some time to
come, and keep them checked in any ad-
vance they may determine. to undertake in
this direction. ’ ' .

A very sad catastrophe occurred at this
camp last Thursday evening, resulting in the
death of between thirty and troops, and the
wounding of as many more. The cars had
just arrived from Newbernc and in transfer-
iug some heavy torpedoes from one of the
cars one'of them exploded, thereby explo—
ding three others which caused the sad affair
The scene which followed was awful and
sickening, so much so that itis impossible to
describe it. Some Of the men were literally
blown to atoms, others had their heads, legs
and arms severed from the bodies, and scat-
tered for a considerable distance over the
camp. The sad occurrence has cast a gloom
over all, in fact in a far greater degree than
if ten times the number of lives had been
sacrificed upon some battle field. The 132d
N. Y. Infantry lost the most men, the 158th
N. Y. had one or two casualties to report, a
detachment of the 12th N. Y. Cavalry station-
ed hel'c lost one young man. Many of the
wounded have died since the explosion_,and it
is feared that but few of them will survive
owing to the nature of their wounds. The
commissary store, and the signal station-
with its high tower were entirely destroyed,
and it was chiefly owing to the falling tim,
bers of these structures that so many lives
were lost. The accident was caused by
carelessness on the part of the unfortunates
who were handling the torpedoes at the
time. These missiles were intended for an
important piece of business. ’

The two rebel rams completed at King-
ston and Halifax last winter, have as yet
failed to accomplish their designs upon New
home, and from all I can learn the supposi-
tion is that they never will. One of them,
the Albermarlc, and which operated against
Plymouth, is reperted to be in a very unfit
con dition,owing to some damage she receiv-
ed in the early part of this month during an
engagement with our guuboats in Pamlico
Sound.

We have a strong picket line in front of
Newberue at pre'sent'aud it will be impossi-
ble for the enemy to come upon us unawares.
Maj-Gen; Palmer is in command of the de-
partment, with Brig-Gen. Harland, (of Con-
necticut) in command of the forces and de-1
fences of Newborne. There is only one reg-
iment from Connecticut in this department
at present—the 15th—which is doing Pro-
vost duty in Newberne. New York troops
occupy the front, lying, between the N euse
and Trent rivers, a distance of 15 miles.
Vermont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and
North Carolina Union volunteers are in and
at the rear of the ' city, as far as Moorehcad
and Beaufort. We have a large fleet of gun-
boats in the rivers, and as the rebels never
likedtllese floating batteries, they had better
keep out of their way. ' ’

Everything is very quiet here to-day. The
troops are rejoiced over the victories in Vir.
ginia, as it augurs to them a speedy termina-
tion of the rebellion. The weather is very
warm, with heavy thunder storms occasion-
ally. The troops in this State have not been
paid for a long time. and hope soon to" see
Uncle Abraham’s servants, the Paymustcrs,
make their appearance. Z. S. H. ..

ing of the regiment from infantry to ur-
tillery. His home Was ill Derby,.though
he formerly lived in New Hartford, and

TEE PHILADELPHIA FAIR ‘exceeds
of New York in every respect, not
epting the picture gallery. The exhibi-
tlon is more extensive, better lanned and
arranged, more tastefully decorated. The
grand Gothic nave that divides the building
is the finest roof on the continent. The side
avenues are smaller, but faultless. The ex-
tent of a walk through all is two and a half
miles. The horticultural department is a
miracle, a paradise for botanists and florists.
The arms and trophies department is far

WAREEN’S IMPROVED FELT, CEMENT AND
GRAVEL ROOFINo.-——We refer to the above
roofing, believing it to be decidedly tl'.
best, most durable and cheapest known in
this country, the merits and popularity of
which are so perfectly demonstrated about
the village that we refer to it, thinking that
We may thus confer a favor upon our read-
ers and the public generally. Very many of
the best buildings are covered with this
material; our own being one of the number.
Materials which are liable to be confound-
ed with this have long been in use for cov-
ering factories and burns, &c., but never un-
til this rccent discovery has any kind of Ce-
ment Roofing been used for our best resi-
dences. The combinations of this roofing
are such as to render it perfectly water-
proof; makes solid, handsome work, is a
very great saving of at least 25 per cent
over any other roofing in use.
