CHICAGo, August 28.—Among the resolutions 5 600n 48 it became evident by the attack on Gen. Miles’ poe that the enemy were in considerable force, Gen. Gibbon was ordered tofall back from his advanced ition on the left, and connecting his left with the right of the ist division, to form a line for the protec- tion of the left flank and the rear. The junc- tion of his right with Miles’ left was near the point where our breastworks crossed the rail- Toad, and thence his line extended in such a curve as to bring his left nearly opposite Miles” Tight, the line of the latter fronting towards the west, while that of Gibbons faced to the east and southeast. The enemy having been repulsed, our skir- mishers followed them as they fell back, ad- vancing nearly to the position they had for- merly held, and capturing & number of pricon- eis.

CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—The various delegations to the National Democratic Convention are now full, the vacancies existing yesterday having been filled by the selections of substitutes. No artillery, but about five p.m., they opened a heavy, concentrated fire from a number of bat- teries, pouring a storm of shell and other mis- siles over the entire amphitheatre included within our lines. After about twenty minutes of this artillery fire, the enemy again made their appearance in front of General Miles’ division, their assault being directed mainly against his centre. Along nearly the entire, and especially in front of the Fiftn Brigade, the woods are very close to our entrenchments, which circumstance was favorable to the enemy in that it enabled them to form comparatively near our works without FOR BALTIMORE.

He says, notwithstanding the loss of life, particu- larly on the Hartford, and the terrible disaster to the Tecumeeh, the result of the fight was a glorious victory, and he has reason to feel disbelieve this, and say that, should such a course be pursued, its only effect will be to strengthen their candidate.

The long experience and success o the Principal warrants him in assuring parenta that they will find this school well adapted for see arin, and after a comparison of views, it was found that representatives from fifteen or sixteen different States preferred Seymour to McClel- lan, favoring his nomination by way of com- promise between the peace men and the war emocracy. Most of them, however, are Members of delegations that are required to vote as a unit. Seymour, this afternoon, positively de- clines the use of his name, and nobody é! is talked of for president of the Convention. The positive withdrawal of Seymour’s name encourages the McOlellanites to hope that he will receive a two-thirds yote on the first or second ballot. A letter written by Millard Fillmore to Hi- ram Ketchum expresses the hope that Mc- Clellan will receive the nomination. It is published in the Times to-day. The New York delegation was in session to- Regular discipline will bring men to any amount of endurance; but there is a natural fear of hidden dangers, particularly so when so awfully destructive of human life as the torpedo, which requires more discipline to overcome. He savs that it was only at the ur- gent request of the chaplains and the com- manding officers that he yielded, the Brooklyn being the leading ship of the line, as she had four chase guns and an ingenious arrangement tor picking up torpedoes, and because in their judgement the flagship ought ‘not to be too much exposed. This he believes to be an error, for, apart from the fact that exposure is one of the pen- alties of rank in the navy, it will always be the aim of the enemy to destroy the flagship, and, as appeared in the sequel, such attempt ‘Was very persistently made; but Providence line rallied by Gen. Mules, instantly checked the enemy and regained our intrenchments for some distance further towards the left. After the enemy had been checked in the centre and along that portion of the line which they had chiefly directed their attack, the greater part of the 2d division had returned to their own intrenchments, and the combat seemed to have nearly died out, when sudden! the enemy, working their way round towards our left, struck the right flank and rear of Col. Murphy’s brigade, which was driven to- wards the left. Perhaps it will be better understood if I compare our line to a horse= shoe, and say they were driven towards the left heel.
