The postponement of the Chicago Convention until Ihe 2'.llh of August, is considered as a tri umph of the Valtandigham-Wood, or peace faction and the defeat ol the MeC'lellan party. The object of the national committee was unquestionably to await the sequel ef Grunt's campaign. If he and Sherman meet with decided success, the conven tion may promulgate a platform pledging Ihe party to a universal amuestv to the rebels and nominate some man who has lioen idonlilitd with tho war. If Grant is not positively or apparently successful, they may adopt straight-out peace resolutions and make the tight on a candidate who bas consistently opposed the war, and the first act of whoso Admin istration would be a proposition for an armistice, with a view In final separating:.

A special to the Times says that on the afternoon of the 21th, Lougstreet and Hill wereiuoving toward Weldon, having vacated their entrenchments in the federal front. A few prisoners were captured, from whom it was lcariad that llciuregard's main force was crossing to Petersburg, aud Lee's was moving to the lelt. A Washiugtou dispati-Ui dated on Ihe 27th, states that it is supposed that the question respecting the $.1110 exemption clau-c, upon which tho House nou concurred with the Senate, will he settled by a committee of conference.

The happiest augury of peace which the tele graph wires have flashed to us for two years, is the action of the Democratic Conventions of Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois.
