NAMES OF VICE*PRESIDEATi. / | C Philadelphia, Aug. 1C.—The Convention met mt 10 o’clock. The Wigwam was crowded to its utmost capacity. Half of the audience are ladies. Senator unanimously and enthusiastically adopted. It declares that the war just closed has niainfslned the authority of the Constitution, and has preserved the Union with the equal rights, dignity and authority of all the States perfect and unimpaired; that representation in Con gress and in the electorial colleges is a right abiding in, and a duty imposed upon every State, and neither Congress nor the General Government have any au thority or power to deny the right to any State; that Congress has no power over the elective franchise, but that right belongs exclusively to each State ; that no State hat the right to nit^^raw from the Union > that on all constitutional amendments all States' have* an equal right to vote; that slavery is abolished, and forever prohibited; that the national debt is sacred and inviolable, and the Confederate) debt is invalid; recognlzs the services of Federal eatdiers and sailers, and the debt due by tne nation to them and their widows and orphans, and endorses President Johnson for his steadfast devotion to the Coostitnti6n,lawa and interest of the country. vy - The address wa3 prepared by Mr. Raymond, of New York ; was read by that gentleman and unanimously adopted The National. Executive, and Financial committees were then announced. Senator Doolittle said, in the opening address, that this Convention was one of the greatest events of our day. It was the first National Convention iu six years, and in the interim there had been blood, agony and tears; our brothers had fallen, and our resources been wasted on a thousand battle fields; but, thank Qod, the assurances here toll us peace has come at last. If the people of the whole country could see the frater nal feeling here there would be no struggle at the polls this fall. [Great applause.] But as the whole people can’t be here to witness what is transpiring, the greater work rests on us. From this time until the election of the next Congress, we should be un tiring in our exertions to see that the next Congress if this shall continue to refuse the sacred right of representation to equal States, that the next shall re cognize them. [Applause.] When that is done union is restored; when union is restored we shall be pre pared to enter upon a higher and nobler eareer among the nations of the earth than has ever ye# been occu pied by any government upon which the sun of Heaven ever shone. [Applause.] J. B. Doolittlo was elected President; Among the Vice-Presidents are J. W. Brockenbrough, of Vir ginia ; John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina ; Judge Wardlaw, of South Carolina; Richard S.

She was picked up insensible by officer Eld- ridge, of the Thirtieth precinct, and tekevto St. Luke’s Hospital. The surgeon in attend ance, on examination, stated that the woman was internally injured, but not seriously. The babe did not receive the slightest injury. The Tongue —A white far on the tongue attends a simple fever and inflammation. Yel lowness of the tongue attends a derangement of tbe liver, and la common to bilious and typhus fevef.

They rely upon the South, when ad mitted to their poUtioal rights, to assist them in putting down, their looal^nemies, the Rad icals. The ? y&'rness ‘ of' tW Radicals has been very much increased by the disturbances at New Orleans. Society at the North is in a. very inflammatory condition, and the future is more or less uncertain. From the intense^ hatred existing.between parties North, a com plication of unfortunate events might pre cipitate a civil war—indeed, the next Presi dential election ia fall of dangers. If both sides would have a plausible ground for claim ing the next Presidential election, it is not so easy to see how a conflict Would be avoided. Delegates resisting the President are struck with his calmness. He is not excited, but quiet and self-possessed. This is a happy temperament, which permits him to remain in' the midst of such tempests so undisturbed. The President starts before long to Chicago to lay the corner-stone of the Douglas monu ment. He will thus come face to face with the masses of the people, and good may re sult from his visit The War Department has just ordered the assemblage of a board of officers to consider the reports on claims presented to" the" War Department. By act of Congress, all claims for property seized by the army are excluded from the Court of Claims; and by another act only citizens of loyal Stales can present claims to the Quartermaster's Department for property taken fog the Ufe pt the agmy. \ So that the ground for Southern claims, even of those who could prove their loyalty, is very much narrowed, where the complaint is ol property of any kind seized by the military. The Treasury Department is much more lib eral than the War Department; if the Trees nry has your money, yon may get it back, but if the War Department has it, you are pretty certain not to get it back. The most horrible crimes are constantly perpretrated at the North. The war, and the passions it aronsed, seems to have left Northern society in a great state of demorali zation. This is the general testimony of those who have the opportunity of knowing. The barriers of virtue are said to have been terribly overthrown during the war, and it will be a long time, if ever, before matters resume their former condition. The last sen sation crime North Is the murder by i man, of the victim of his profligacy He 9eems to have committed the murder with entire nonchalance. The ruffiians of the North, turned lt^e on the South wiil,?as th Spanish proverb says of curses,'” com6 home to roost again.” These cruel wretches will startle society with their shocking crimes Thus it is that society cannot, with impunity, trample on the rights of others, without re ceiving pay in the same kind of coin. There is «e hereafter to punish nations for national crimes. Hence they must reap in this world the reward of their good or bad actions—and the future has many sore trials in store for the North. A Shocking Harder—A Woman Aiuul- nated in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia papers give the de the atrocious mkrtjr tomrfilted ihtt by’an unknown nf»n,'\#htT ftths Tarl caped detection. This man, accompanied by a prepossessing young woman, at about noon on Friday, entered a room which he had pre viously engaged at a boose kept by Mts. Laura Tyson, on Eleventh street. The 'un known mao opened the door of tho room-an* entered with bis companion, without evinc ing anything extraordinary in his demeanor, and after remaining for an hour or afore, da ring which not the slightest noise was heard, he made hu exit, closing tbe door sharply behind him.

I hetrd a mah >: (Corie«tian*enee of the LooUrtlte CmM.> ESfors 'Louisville Courier : Cosmopolite has lately been wandering among the broken arches, columns, and Dalis of the gloomy past; has been viewing the smouldering ruins of great intellectual'eont-- rious even in their fall—in the cause ot one of the most unfortunate people (bat ever bowed fa worship to the true God. In viewing this immeose pile of human failure, the writer has not failed to discover in the dark botes and recesses nronad, amid mvsterions signs and sounds, things aadrend- fal as the ansanctifled grave, and damning, in A* nature as the sin against the Holy, Ghost. En masse the people arose in a common cause, and like the white crested billows of the deep sea, rolled on in tremendous force, bearing down all opposition, till their strength was spent; and ibeo, without cow ardice and without fear, they, eu masse, yielded to superior numbers, and with that lolly though deeply humiliated spirit, re solved to wear tbe galliug yoke imposed by that anti-Christian, supremely despotic*!, and ultra merciless spirit, called radicaUsih, which was made originally a “lying spirit’’ to deceiv* both “Gog and MflgojL’’ and to gather theto'tdgether to battle. 1 1 But I am consuming too much sunlight, {tegsr, ink, and the precious time of yourself and readers, in these generalities; and dill' now proceed to some particulars of the late war, which took place, as it were, in my presence, and will thus endeavor to redeem the prbteiae made in the first correspondence. The fall of New Orleans was, in the opinion of wise men, a fearful blow against the prob able success of the Confederate arms. For i* opened wide the gates to the whole valley of the Mississippi; and invited the foe to enter and’ take much spoil and impoverish the people. * The writer was unfortunate enough to be in the city before its fall, at the time of, and afterwards, till forced by dire necessity to turn up elsewhere; and hence can speak in telligently upon the subject In the first, place, the defences of the city exhibited the undeveloped mind of a student in his first lessons at a military college, and proved ut terly wort Ideas; although those in command mmift the impression upon the minds of the public that a successful stand could be made against the enemy by land or water, or both. Zigzag earthworks penetrated in every direc tion, even piercing the impassable swamps, where even an alligator would have found himself “hemmed in and hedged up” by a continuous natural growth. Many of these works were never manned or mounted, and some that were, when the hour of need loomed np these eonld not use the gun ear- tridges, for they would not fit the guns, so that-one feeble effort only was made imme diately around the “Crescent City” to save it from the sharp and destructive teeth of the foe Two large rams were being built, but they were never finished, the work progressing like the miserably slow pace of the sloth. They had but «ne set of bands, and they labored* but about ten hours per diem, though the continuous roar of the enemy's guns demanded the faithful improvement of every hour. A wealthy gentleman offered the contractors (so I heard him say in a few excited remarks to tbe surrounding crowd) a very large amount—about fifty thousand dollars—to pat on two sets of hands, so that the night as well as tbe aay' might be spent in speeding the completion of the work. Others, 1 was told, had also made them similar offers ; but it was not done, though hands could have been bad to any number. When tbe larger one was ready to launch, it was found pinned to tbe ways, and a week, at least was comaumed in freeing it. Two powder mills were set in motion near the city, but through mismanagement they were blown to atoms. When the alarm bell was struck early on the morning ot tbe ever memorable 25th of April, to announce tbe astounding intelli gence that tbe Federal gunboats and ships of war had successfully passed the brave and gal lant forts below, everything was consterna tion. Citizens and soldiers, with all manner of vehicles, crowded all tbe avenues of tbe city, flying in every direction ; while multi tudes of womeu, with disheveled hair, tears, #ttd.lUAUc voices, joiued the mud thr^^. Burning cotton everywhere, and vessels wrapped in liyipg.- flame, added to the hor rors of the scene, ' Snd wake calculated to impress the mind of the distant observer that tbe city itself bad been fired in numer ous’places. “Now up and down throughout the town Most trail tic scenes were acted, And some ran here and others there, v Like men almost distracted. “Some fire cried, which some dented. And soma said the earth had quaked; While girle and hoys with hideous noise Ran through the streets half naked.” The most absurd military orders were is sued, which could never have been executed witli the surroundings For instance, a thousand men were called for to man some miserable old hnlks, without a gun, if my memory serves me right, to board tbe Yan kees when they came op. Little plank fire boats were commenced, to barn them up in (fonring np the river. The worthy Governor wos.veiy much agitated, and took passage on a little boat which had just arrived, load ed with sugar, molasses, fte., and he got the fondL hearted captain to shove off instanter, bound for the upper coasts with all her cargo! ’Tis said that he was so fearful of being overhauled by the blue-jacketed Yan kees that ever and anon he would have either sugar or molasses thrown overboard, and bacon pitched into the fornaoee, that the boat might be accelerated in her speed. „ When tbe Federate reached tbe front of tbe city, this vast roar ot clamor and oonfo- sion was in fall blossom, and began to pro duceIts legitimate fruit in tbe hellish work of plunder, <fec. irew.ao terete an 4e; and thieves ke(0|agtiteiaBebM*!,tifoi]_ vees, to sugar, molasses, bacon, &c.; men, ' mand children; black, white, relief town; every nation, tongue ana neo- pie, were folly represented in this great “Congress of nations.” For several days this wholesale robbery was kept afloat, till ciushadout by the excellent Mayor, and gome citigen under his direction. He and sotee esAsnd noble bearing in one of tbe dart- tion; for they got up and signed a petition to the Mayor that the city should never be sur rendered; that titer were willing to petirii beneath the ruins of their bomea and fltesidfo or side by side with their h ns bead* sad brothers, amid tbe smoke and roar of battle. While tbe usual preliminaries were pend ing between tbe naval officers of Ute United arnica flept aud the divil authorities, for a surrender of tbe city, the “Commander of the Department” for the Confederate States appeared aud “refused to surrender the place "•VfBasrsWiwSan rode to the “New Orleans and JacksOq Railroad” depot, took the last car an* fol lowed his retreating army to “Camp Moore,” about seventy-five miles above the city." unless the State flag was pulled down, and the city formally surrendered, he retired with his fleet in disgust, laying he’d have nothing more to do with them, and would turn them though the civil antbontlestotd him repeat edly that they bad no means of defonae, and to come ashore and utite possession; that they were unarmed and helpless; that if they wished the Stele flag palled down they would not be interfered with in doing it them selves, as no cttjpen of New Orleans desired such unholy fame.

I n Tbe country will remember that daring the* winter onr Government obtained' aaMranCn of the : hopelessness Of tbe rdMt cause by coming into possession of the tealimony oi General Lee before a committee Of the rebel Congress, which was never 'reported to 'the Houses, except in eeefet session; if at aft. A full history ol the manner-foiWhich MO Gov^ eminent obtained that teforenation would be mere interesting than ariy romance, but R fo too soon yet to do more than nritlioe tk The •evidence of Generalise was taken late in the winter by this- cotnmiitee, and tong be fore the committee bad deteffiafoM Whpt course they should pursue—alffiost before the iok was dry upon their notes—the entire etefoment of the rebel. General, word for word, was in possession of President Lincoln at Washington. In the room wbefethe cofo-’ mittce met was a closet, and from that ctoret immediately after their adjournment, cattle’ the priceless information. Outside tbe bnoke it at onCc changed bands, nod a second party Walked leisurely through thr streets tit Rich mond with it, nntil upon the environs, he en countered one ot tbe Common country carts of this section proceeding with the half of a newly-killed beef toward the rebel line* In Bailer’s front No communication that tab most lynx-eyed could perceive passed be tween the man and tbe cart, but tbe farmer gradually changed his direction, and was soon walking back in the direction whence he had come. The cart went'on, readied and passed through the rebel camps Without molestation and reached tbe pickets, where it halted, aS a matter of Contse. The beef was destined for the house of a planter just beyond the rebel lines. and in plain sight of their outposts, and about equi-distant be tween them and our own oqtpoets. Thebe explanations made and a careless search of the cart by the rebel sentry, that is, k look into it, the cart proceeded on its way. Jtut as it neared the house a small party Of onr cavalry made a dash at it, and to the utter surprise of the rebel pickets, who saw the whole affair, onr men only hovered a moment around the cart, then galloped hack With one more man than they came with, leaving cart and beef, and driver and mule behind them. They did not know it then, bat under the beef was a man, and the man had a package, and the package contained the statement* of General |Lee before the committee of Con gress a few honrs before. In outline this was how the thing was done. It nay seem strange, but Lincoln and Grant knew long before many of the highest officials of the insurgent Govern ment the sworn statement o? theii com mander as to the hopelessness of /uriher re sistance. Knowing that . tbe Govern ment and Grant had this information ex plains many things in connection with the arrival within onr lines of Hunter, Stephens and Campbell, at the time of the Rampton Roads conference, which at the time were inexplicable. The feat of obtaining this in formation is unrivaled in the annals of war, and gradually, as tbe facts come to light; it will be tonnd that Grant had everyday snch particular information from the rebel cap ital that he knew what Jeff.
