[Aseociated Press Correspondence. | OLy CuugcH TavgRN, Va, May 30, via Washington, June 1._We have again flanked the enemy. Our forces were withdrawn to the north side of the North Anna river last Thurs- day and Friday. General Sheridan, with Tor- bett’s and Gregg’s divisions of cavalry, marched all night, and on Thursday morning the fords on the Pamunkey were in our possession. At Dabney’s Ferry, Baxer’s North Carolina brigade opposed our advance, and resisted us when we laid our pontoon bridge. Generals Custer’s and Deems’ brigades drove the enemy off to Hanover Court House, killing many ard capturing a large number of prisoners. The 6th corps was soon at our heels. Then came the 2d, 5th and 9th. Lee was doomed to disappointment, and his elaborate fortifications would not serve him. Grant was found on his right flank, and he must away to Richmond. On Satarday morning Grege’s division of cavalry was fired into near Hawes’s Shop. Davies’s brigade was in the advance. The ‘woods seemed alive with the rebels, and soon began to resound with sharp volleys from our carbines. In a short time Davies’s entire brigade was fighting in earnest. Colonel Gregg was ordered to Davies’s support, and the re- mainder of the division were hotly engaged. Fitzhugh Lee commanded the rebels in person, and his cavalry corps were all fighting, as- sisted by & brigade of mounted fire-eaters from South rolina, commanded by Col. Butler. These men had just arrived from the seaboard, and they admit the warmth of the reception our troops gave them. Conspicuous in the battle were the 4th, 13th and 16th Pennsylvania, thé ist New Jersey, 6th Ohio and ist Massachusetts regiments. For a long time these men held Fitzhugh back, and all our cavalrymen e! ed behaved with distinguished bravery. ‘e found the rebels strongly entrenched in this woods, with heavy guns in position, but with every advantage upon their side, they were badly beaten, and sent fiying from the field in great confusion, leaving their dead and wounded in our hands, and over !00 prisoners. Gen. Gregg maintained the unequal contest from noon till two o’clock p.m., when Gen. Custer came up and formed his squadrons into line and charged the enemys works. Gen. Gregg’s command advanced at the same time With acheer. Manv & brave fellow fell in this daripg assault, but the works were ours. and soon notan armed rebel could be tound for three miles. The 13th and 16th Pennsylvania, and the 5th and 7th Michigan suffered a heavy loss. Too much credit cannot be given to this brigade, which fought with unprecedented calmness amid the storm of grape and canister. Our Joss will amount to 350 killed and wounded and miseing. The rebels used grape and canister plentitully. Our infantry were all up the same evening, and long strong lines of fortifications were erected, 20 that if Lee should attempt to cross our path we were prepared. He did not, how- ever, and next morning our newly made breast- works were abandoned, and the colamn moved on toward Ricbmond. On Monday, the 30th, Major Deoland hadtwo squadrons cf the 17th Pennsylvania cavalry on picket duty. He held the road leading trom Cold Harbor to Old Church Tavern. About noon his pickets were driven in, and the enemy appeared in heavy force. Col. Deems sent the Oth and 6th New York regiments to reinforce Major Deoland, when a heavy engagement eneued. John Auglin, quartermaster of the 17th Pennsylvania, was killed, while fighting in the skirmish line. Gen Merritteoon arrived with his brigade, and a battery of brass Napoleons were trained on the rebels and opened The 6th Pa. was sent in on the left of the line, and charged the rebel flank. Here Capt. Seiper was wounded and Lieutenant Martin killed. Gen. Custer nextenteredand a general charge was ordered, when the rebels were swept from our sight. They fied, leaving a large number of their dead and wounded on the field. Lieutenant Blunt of the 6th New York, and Captain Tice of the 17th Pennsylvania, were wounded. Fitzhugh Lee was bafiled and foiled in his efforts to stop our communication with the White House. Our advance is now (Monday) near Mechan- icsville. Qn the left Warren was using his cannon freely allday. He drove in the rebel picket lines about four miles. Lee’s army ccoupy, the trenches about Mea- dow and Bottom bridges. To day our communication with the White House was opened. The Pamunkey is full of trans: is and gunboats. We expect General Smuth to join us with his command in two days. General Hancock made one of his mighty efforts Jast night about dark to relieve ‘Warren who had been slightly pressed during the afternoon. Our loss. so far, has been very trifling. The siege of Richmond has begun. THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION. pease <oatiatas The Fremont Platform—The Party to be Called “The R Demecracy”’—T we 31.—Gen.

The last resolution was not recommended, but reported for consideration. Mr. Gilbert announced the receipt of a letter from Wendell Phillips. The letter was warm- jy pbpisyded, A letter trom Lucius Robinson, Comptroller ot New York, was read, favoring the nomins- tion of General Grant. The resolutions were then adopted separate- ly. Colonel Moses moved that the Uonvention Preeredto the nomination of candidates for Fi: ident and Vice President. Mr Ransom moved to reconsider, believing i would be better to wait until after the Baki- more Convention. Colonel Mcss moved that John OC. Fremont be declared the nominee tor President. Mr. Ransom moved an amendment, that a romn atung conyention be held in Cleveland on the first Wednesday in September. Lost, Sg nine voting in the affirmative. T. Powell, of Washington, moved to ad- Journ over to the Radical Convention at Baits more on the 6thof June. Declared out of or- er. ‘The nomination of Fremont was then made by acclamation. * General Cochrane, B. Gratz Browi awe. General, Butler were named for Vice Presi- dent. Mr. Cochrane asked leave to retire from the Convention. « a . Mr. Gilbert taking the chair, the question was put, and the nomination of Gen. Cochrane was confirmed, with but few voices in the nega- tive. A Committee was appointed to report a plan of organization and a name for the arty. + Mr. Sauger, a German, from Iowa, offered a resolution that members of this Convention, or any Convention arising therefrom, and its Presidential Electors, pledge themselves not to accept office or contracts from the new Administration ; but that this pledge shall not exclude them from serving in the army or navy. Mr. Demers, of New York, spoke at length, favoring Gen Grant, and threatening the par- ty with failure unless it waited for events and chcse candidates by & Abbpaniisee: Joel trom the people instead of an in meet- ing. Germans especially are wild over Fremont's nomination. Parker Pillsbury and Mr. 8. S. Foster, the New England Abolitionist, and Messrs. Plumb and Goodeil, Abolitienssts of New York, and Caspar Buts, of Missouri, have taken a conspicuous partin the Conven- tion. Mr. S. J. Rea, of Philadelphia, endeavored to urge the rule of voting by States, but was voted down The assembly is generally with- out credentials, and is self constituted, claim- ing to be an uncogditional ple’s party. A letter trom Wendell Phillips was read, giving support to either Fremont or Butler. This Administration had sustained the rebeb- lion, and thenght more of conciliating ite foes than serving the country. It had misnsed its three weapons to pst down the war—men, money and emancipation—and had just done enough to intimidate the rebels and not save the State. We shall have to continue the war in the Senate aiter closing it on the field. There must bea thorough reorganization of States on the basis of absolute equality—the blacks admitted to citizenship, or we must hold States as territ ries under standing armies. He concluded by bata the high statesmanship and military ability of Gen. mont. The Convention voted to call the new party “The Radical Democracy.” At no time hes the Convention been very large or very im- pressive, and it adjourned without fulfilling the expectations of its organizers. RUINED OR NOT? “Gold is 190, and the property of the country will be destroyed,” says Mr. Faintheart. “Gold is going to 200, and I shall be broke,” says Mr. Weakknees. “Iam ruined! My bank balance is worth only fifty-five centson the dollar,” says Mr Neverthink. Let us stopa moment, gentlemen, and Wok into this matter. Facts are better than fears, and principle is better than prejudice. You are suffering—yes, suffering, there is no other word for it—under the delusion that the amount of gold and silver coin in the eountry isan equivalent of its wealth. Now, do you know that the highest financial authorities have never estimated this amount at over two hun- dred and fifty millions, and it is probably much less,eyen in time of peace. But suppose we admit that itis three hundred millions; and now do you know that, according tothe United States Census of 1560, the wealth of the coun- try—its real and personal property—was esti- mated (rather too low than too high) at sifteen thousand millions. 1f you will just take your pencil and cypher out the proportion that three bundred millions in specie bears to fifteen thousand millions of property, you will dis- cover that it is—what? fifty per cent? No Twenty-five per cent.! No!—but exactly two per cent.,—that is, the whole amount of specie in the country never was two par sent, or & fittieth part of the specie value of the property; and if, at anyone time, the whole property of the country had been forced to sale for the specie in the country, it would not have brought two centson the dollar of its actual specie value. ah Specie, or the currency that may stand for it, is only the convenient and recognized mediam for making an exchange of products. It repre- sents property in the market, property in transit, but never the fixed property of a nation. Money is the lubricator. It don’t make values; it sim- ply lubricates the machinery, and keeps the wheels of commerce running smoothly. When too abundant, the wheels run too fast; and when scarce, there is too much friction. And now, Mr. Faintheart, can you pick a flaw in our statement! Is it not absolute trash? But what shall we say to Mr. Weakknees, who is afraid of bankruptcy, and Mr. Neverthin, who 18 only afraid of his bank-balance. If Mr. Weakknees is in debt, it is now easy to ged out. Pay up while money is plenty, and be happy. Ifa mortgage on your land will be due next year or any year provide for it now while you are getting high prices for everything you sell But Mr. Neverthink, you have—say 4 banc balance of $20,000. You are afraid, that gol@ ie going up or paper going down abont ont of sight, and you wish to invest this balance im some productive property. Will you buy a house worth only $10,000 in specie, and pay for 1t $18,000 in currency? Suppose you wish to se)] that house Atter the resumption of specie payments, it will bring you only $10,000, and you will have lost exactly $8,000. Will that be a sbrewd operation? We think we cam «put you up” te something better—something by which you can make your bank balan¢e or currency not only worth its face in gold, but @ premium besides. Invest in Governamne Bonds. Buy the 10-40's, After the warisovers they will be worth par in gold and something: over—and they pay a liberal gold interest from: the beginning. If they are not safe, them BO- property is safe. The same spirit of anarchy that would repudiate your property in the nfl= tional debt would repudiate it in your Rowse. If the law will not protect you in one deseripe tion of your property, it will not in another, and your greatest aafety 8s well #8 profit is im maintaining and strengthening the Govern, ment that maintains and supports the law. penance EE in one of the pro towns of ne tetely forwarded Og eed France & brick with & 1000f. note has Sgt «9 been for been id, and will be which bas pee" POntiositios Ie fifteen years CEOS the wall of « and Col as a pictorial by ihe man who found it, and who did al Igeg = ER prpge 7 The usually quiet town of Harrisburg, Fas wee ie soene of quite an oo a few days ago, An indignant wife having die~ covered her hnsband in bed with another Wo= man at Herr’s Hotel, inflicted summary ven- geance upon her with 4 knife.
