The Bolters’ Convention has nominated Fre- mont for President, and John Cochrane for Vice President. This is the just expectations of that large class of patriots who lo-ked to the Convention for a much stronger combination, namely: Vallan- digham for Preeiden, and Howard, the pro- clamation forger, for Vice President. They argue that ifindignation against military ar- | rests is reckoned upon to carry the Bolter | icket, victims should be placed in nomination instead of mere sympathisers. m7 Wm. Knabe, the piano manufacturer, who died in Baltimore recently, left charitable bequests to the amount of several thousand dollars. His entire estate is valued at $125,000, ‘THE SECRETARY Or Wag has had many de- fenders, even if he has been “the best abused man ofthe war.” But theonly defence he needs is @ plain etatement of the work he has dome and isdomg. From the New York Times we quote the following suggestive paragraphs: « Secretary Stanton h«s been the best abused man of the war Mauy of the disasters have been fathered upon him, and very few of the victories have been put to his credit by the estimation. Without discussing the exact value of his services to the country, it ig worth while to consider occasionally one grand fact which is almost forgotten by the public, aad yet which must resound in history especially to the creditot his siministration. We mean the wonderful organiza'tion by which our im- mense armies are kept constantly supplied with food, clothing, ammunition, and weap- ons. “We had in the Srcretary’s dispatch, re- ceived om Tuesaday, a brief record of a single week's administration under the War Depart- ment. Within eight days after the great battle of Spotteyivania Court House several thous- Sad—probably some twenty-five thonsand— yeteran troops were forwarded to Gen. Grant, and during the came time rations sufficient for his whole immense army were supplied him. Twenty thousand sick and wounded were transported from the field of battle to the W sahington hospitals and placed ander sargi- calcare. Over eight thousand prisoners were conveyed from the field to prison depots, anda ‘ast amount of artillery and weapons, won from the enemy, were brougntaway. Several thonsend fresh cavalry horses were forwarded to the Army of the Potomac; and mary thoas- ands of reinforcements, with arms and ample supplies, were sent to the other armies in the held During the same week afresh army of thirty thousand men was mustered into ser- vice, clothed, armed, equipped, and trans- ported to their respective po-i‘ions. «We submit that no military department, not even Napoleon's, when he commanded the resources of most of Europe, ever showed & better week’s work. “Now, wherever individuall: this masteriy organizat:on eee it will be ascribed to the War Department. History will show that during a great war millions of men were armed. equipped, fed, and transported with a silent regalarity and promptness to which only the longest experl- ence in military organization can usaally attalp; and for this the nation has reason to be devoutly thankful.” the credit of Frou Guyeeat Hunter's CoMMAND.—The erent Exe linencee of Friday states that General Hunter’s army is no longer at Cedar Creek. Everything calculated to impede its pregress was sent tq the rear,and only one wagon to a regiment was allowed. General Hunter bas issued a general order stating that the army wast» live upon the country through which it passed, and, if necessary. horses and mules were to b+ butchered for meat. @7 The New York paper: say money is so efey thet loans are now made on miscelia- neous eacuritire which a short time ago were regarded with disfavor.

I therefore regard myself, of course, as the ond} ularly select- ed candidate for Alderman in the rd, solemnly avering that if Mr. Shepherd had have received | that nomination, my name would not be before you to-day. There was, I learn, no preference ex- ressed at the meeting in favor of any one for the javoralty, though the active friends of cach of the candidates were present and pe beinaied ia the roceedings. For this reason, doubtless, my name Ras been inserted for Alderman in. both the tickets published in the Star. Having be-n frequently interrogated as to my preference for Mayor at the approaching election, £ take this occasion to say as I have always done, that I am the personal friend of both the deserving gentlemen who are aspirants for the office,and have been agreeably associated with them im the city Government for several years past. but, as Mr. Wallach has dis- charged the responsible duties of Mayor generally to my satisfaction, and is the present incumbent, I stalls therefore, cast my vote for him on Monday next. For seven consecutive years I have represented e City Council, and never abused your confidence by uzing my official position to f judices ov personal animositics, nor given a vote that was not designed to advance our interests ahd prosperity, individually and col- Iectively.

WHEREABOUTS OF SHERMAN, ‘The despatch of Secretary Stanton to Gen'l Dix to-day, (published in our ist Edition,) con- tains the gratifying intelligence that Sherman after some sharp fighting repulsed the enemy and has reached the railroad, near Marietta. This point (Marietta) is only 20 miles north- west of Atlanta, on the Western and Atlantic railroad, and is ‘88 Capital af Cobb county, Georgia. It is the highest peint upon the rail- road. Atlanta, Georgia, now apparently almost within the grasp of Sherman, is a point almost of more importance to the rebels than Rich- mond itself, it being the center of a number of the most important railroads of the Confed- eracy, and the great center also of rebel manu- tacturing operations. LATE SOUTHERN NEWS. pa ee We have before us the Richmond Ezaminer of the 2sth of May. It states the total number of prisoners consigned to the Libby since the first battle of Manassas, in July, 1561, to have been something over 97,000; also, that bakers in Richmond now charge $1.25 per loaf for bread. The Ezaminer says:—“ Grant is reported to have crossed the Pamunkey at Hanovertown and to be moving down probably for the point known as Piping Tree in New Kent county, some fifteen or sixteen miles from Richmond. Of the movements of Lee it would not be prudent to speak, but the reader may be well assured that he has his eye upon_his adversa- Ty and will be prepared for him never and wherever hemay show himself. Leehas never yet been surprised or outgeneraled, and it is not likely that he will be in this instance. So far the armies have only been mancruvering, but the battle will likely come off ina few days. Deserters from Grant’s army sayjthat he does not intend to fight, but is going to lay siege to the city and try the spade and shovel as he did at Vicksburg. The Ezaminer admits the repulse received by Fitzhugh Lee in his attack up Butler’s en- trenchments as follows: «We have some farther particulars of the affair in Charles City county, in which Gen. Fitzhugh Lee ventured a partial attack on a force of the enemy entrenched near the James river. The statements of the great sirength of me enemys fortifications are fully corrobo- rated. They were strongly intrenched behind a line of fortifications stretching out from the river in the form of a horse shoe; before this rar a ditch some ten or twelve feet deep and some fitteen to eighteen feet wide, and an abattis made intricate and impenetrable by the inter- twining of wire with the limbs and branches of the felled trees. So formidable and complete were the fortifications that we are told by an officer who participated in the affair, that it would have taken our men two hours to get into their works, had there eyen been not a man inside of them. é The force of the enemy, too, was consider- ably larger than was first supposed. Besides their number entrenched there were six gun- boats in the river playing upon carmen all the time with grape and canister. Under the cirenrastances Gen, Fitzhugh Lee thought it unwise to make the sacrifice it would have st to carry the position, and retired after an ccessful assault upon a portion of the works. in which we had some 60 men killed and wounded. From the Trans-Mississippi. Crmtos, La, May 21, via Summit, May 26.—Banks has escaped from Alexandria by way ofSimsport. A. J.Smith’s corps has gone up to Natchezand Vicksburg. The balance of his army is in full retreat towards New Or- leans, being now at Morjanza, on the west bank of the river. Maj. Gen. L. Canby has arriyed and assumed command, Banks having one to New Orleans. It is reported. anti be- ieved to be reliable, that Lieut. Gen. Dick Tay- lor is crossing at Atchafalaya river, twelve miles below, Where Banks crossed. Banks’ troops are reported on good authority to be very much demoralized. Within the last six days the batteries belong. | ing to Scott's command, have fired into five Yankee transports, crippling three seriously, knocking ont the steam pipe of one, and driv- ing off the gunboat that came toher relief. The loss of life is not known. Three stopped at Cat Island for repairs. The forces in the district are rapidly increasing, and Vol. Scott is ready for any advance the enemy may make. Gen. Lee’s Army. {From the Richmond Examiner, May 2S.) ARMY oF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, NEAR ASH- Lanp, May 27, 1564, 12 m.—Both armies are certainly again on the move. Some of the enemy's prisoners who have just been breught in, say that Grant commenced the work of re- Grossing the the North Anna river yesterday, and that the move occupied all last night. Abont ten o'clock last night the enemy opened upon Jordon’s division a flerce cannonading, and shortly afterwards assaulted his skir- mishere, with @ line of battle, but were re- pulsed. This, of course, was a mere faint. There was some firing this morning between theirrear guard and our skirmishers, but it has not amounted to anything. Grant is now moving rapidly around to our right with his whole force, and corresponding movements &re on foot on our side to meet those of Grant, A day or two will probably reveal to us the new situation, Meanwhile we must bide our time.

F SENaTE.—Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Conference on the disagreeing yotes of the two Houses on the National Bank bill, made a report. He explained that there were only six Points of difference between the Senate and Honee, the latter having generally agreed to the former's amendment. The Tost material amendment is to require all Banks East and West to redeem their currency at par in New York instead of allowing the western banks one quarter of one per cent. discount on their notes redeemed in New York. Mr. Hale asked what was the difference as to taxation between the National and Sate banks in this bill. Mr Sherman explaiued that in this bill the whcle tax relates to the National banks, the State bank eubject being left to the tax bill. The rates imposed by this bill are 1 ver cent. on cireulation, ¥ per cent on deposites, and 1 per cent.on capital not invested in the bonds of the United States, and State taxation of the shares of the banks is permitted, in the hands of holders, to be paid at the place where a bank is located. Z The report was agreed to. Mr. Anthony reported from the- Commie on Printing the House bill to amend the act relative to public printing; and it was passed. It permits the assistant secretaries of Depart- ments to give orders for printing. Mr. Howard, from the Jadiciary Committee, reported back the bill extending the jurisdic. tion ot Distriet courts, with a recommendation tbat it do not pass. Mr Harlan, from the Committee on Pablic Lands, reported several bills, asking to be dis. charged therefrom, including one to exclude disloyal persons from the lands of the United States, and that it be referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Agreed te. On motion of Mr. Johnson, & resolution was adopted that the Secretary of War, as soon as he receives information from the armies in the field, communicste it to the Senate, if not in- ecm patible with the public interest. The consideration of the Internal Reveaue bili wae resumed. Mr, Wilson offered an amendment imposing & tax of one-half of ove per cent. apon the prose amount of all sales of goods, wires, mer- chandise, produce, live etock, satling and steam veacels of all descriptions, and other articlesof commerce or trade, whether foreign or domes. Ue, excluding coin and gold andsilver anman- ufactured, amd including realestate, whether such sales be judicial, public or private, ex- empting sales of personal property less than one hundred dollars. Mr. Wilson said it was absolutely necessary to have more money than the bill woald give us. lt would give no more than #290,000,000 to £225,(00,000, when we needad £350 000,000. His amendment would accomplish the purpose. Hov. Mr. Jenckes, of Rhode Island, from the Se’ect Committee on the subject, reported a bill toestablish a uniform system of bank- rupvcy throughoat the United States. Mr. Jenckes entered into an explanation of the provisions of the bill. It dealt with bank- ruptcy as a thoronghly practical question, and provided for both voluntary and involun- tary bankruptcy. Lt brought the failing debtor and the creditor to a settlement on terms ma- tually beneficial to each. It discharged the honest debtor on the surrender of his property, and afforded protection to the creditor against the fraudulent practices and reckless conduct of the debtor. Besides, it secures complete uniformity in the mode of proceedings. Mr. Spalding said the Select Committee chal- lenged a critical examination of this biil. {Mr. Steele, ot New York, offered a resolu- tion which was not read, relative to sewerage and drainage in Washington, which was re- ferred to the Committee for the District of Col- umbia. Mr. Holman, of Indiana, moved to postpone the bankrupt bill till the second Tuesday of December. This was disagreed to—yeas 53, nays 74. The subject went over till to-morrow. Mr. Davis, ot New York, introduced a bifl to amend the charter of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, which was referred to the Committee for the District of Columbia. The House concurred in the report of the Committee of Conference on the disagreeing amendments to the National Bank bill. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. LATEST FROM BANKS’ COMMAND.
