Major Comd’g. 4®*Enquirer and Sun copy. je9 ts The Richmond Examiner of the 10th repre sents the crop prospects in Virginia as something prodigious. Vegetation was fairly “cracking” under the influence of the fine weather, with fit ting intervals of soaking rains and hot sunshine. The cornfields were knee high and the wheat cut in head and nodding. Vegetables were in profusion, and apparently without limit as to quantity.— White strawberries and cream were eaten as a mat ter of economy, so abundant were they. The Macon Telegraph of the 17th, alluding to the situation in North Georgia, says ; Reports from the enemy’s rear allege a good deal of straggling, ancl it is also stated that seve ral hundred of Sherman’s men whose timo had ex pired, went off in a body at night, marching to wards Alabama, taking their arms with them and avowing their determination to return home at all hazards. A* body of cavalry jvas sent after them, but they showed fight and the cavalry drew.off.— This report comes pretty well authenticated from Floycl county. Becoming Disgusted. —A Richmond paper learns from a Yankee prisoner that Grant was ter ribly disconcerted by his heavy losses at Cold Harbor, and declared he would give the Rebels one more trial, and if it failed, “Lee and his d—d little Confederacy might go to h—11!” The President’s Appointments.— The devel opments of this war, says the Augusta Constitu tionalist, have done credit to the wisdom of the Provisional Congress in selecting a military chief tain for President, and while President Davis has one or two faults of his own, and has some subor dinates with still more, yet he has been wonder fully wise in his choice of Generals. Well do we remember the tall dignified gentle man who used to walk down Bull street in Sa vannah, and when said gentleman took first the position of Commanding General, and then filled the place of the wounded General Johnsoa; we were very much disposed to think that .the Presi dent had made a mistake. But the President is a good judge of soldiers, and what a glorious sol dier he found in Lee. Johnston* and Bea’uregard have exhausted terms and fatigued praise, to keep up with their deeds, and we have soinetiine 3 thought that with Gen. Bragg to discipline the army of the West, and Beauregard or Johnston to lead them, it. would rival the glorious hest of the Potomac. As for Generals Lovell/' Pemberton, and other unpopular Generals whom the President has been blamed for appointing or not sooner dismissing, we knew that one, and perhaps both have received much urjust abuse. Death of Gen. Polk. Special Correspondence of the Memphis Appeal.) On the Front, 12 at., June 14,18*4. The electric quiver along the wires, has doubtless, in this time, conveyed to your city the painful intelligence of the death of Lieut. Gen. Leonidas Polk, who was killed by a shell from the enemy about two hours since. Being but a few hundred yards from the spot, I hastened to it, to gain the par ticulars, which are few and simple. Gens. Johnston, Hardee, Polk, Bate and Jack son, accompanied by a number of their respective staff officers, were riding around, viewing our works; coming to a high point on Pine mountain, occupied by Bate’s division, they dismounted and aps proacned the position occupied by Fer guson’s battery, Slueomb’s batter}’ being just on the right These batteries had engaged the special attention-of the enemy for a day or two, and, as I mentioned in my last, they frequently shelled this hill •furiously. When this party appeared, the enemy again opened fire. After remaining a few minutes they all started leisurely for their horses, except Gee. Folk. He was the last to leave. ,Just as he turned to walk away, the fatal shell, or a very large frag ment, struck him, breaking both arms, and terribly mutilating his breast; he fell dead without a struggle. His staff gath ered* around him and bore him away. Thus has fallen a great and good man, a peerless churchman, warrior, hero, and patriot, in the hour when his services are most needed, and the fate of his country undecided. Strange and mysterious to j man are the ways of God. But he has gone to reap his reward in that realm where the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are at rest. Gloom and sadness are depicted oo the face of every one. All feel that our na« tion has sustained the loss of a pillar and champion. He was not less beloved by the army f r his ehristisn virtues, than mireu i* v his heroism and ehiv s ry. The enemy are closing up to our lines steadily, and feeling the advanced position of Bate in the centre, and also of Hood’s corps on the right. The sun is shinin. out pleasantly, ami the mud drying up iust. Stirring times may be anticipated.

Dates of Thursday Last to hand—Abe Lincoln and Andy Johnson the Nominees of the Balti more Convention—Morgan in Kentucky—De struction of Railroads, Telegraphs , Bridges , etc., etc. Through the courtesy of a gentleman, (whose kindness is the more appreciated be cause to us a stranger,) says the Petersburg Express of the 13th, we have been favored with a copy of the New York Herald, of Thurs day, June 9th. The information we gather from this paper, is highly interesting, and we have copied from it very copious extracts. The Convention which met in Baltimore on the 7th, after a session of two days, nomi nated Abe Lincoln and Andy Johnson, the latter of Tennessee, for the Presidency. The following is a brief synopsis of its most im portant proceedings : The Lincoln Convention. The Herald occupies several of its columns with the proceedings of the Baltimore Con venfion It was characterized by some dis order, but the deliberations were generally •conducted with decorum. Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, nomina ted Abraham Lincoln for the Presidency, and the Convention proceeded to Ballot with the following result : For Lincoln. Maine. 14 Ohio, 42 New Hampshire, 10 Indiana, 26 Vermont, 10,.Illinois, 32 Massachusetts, 24 Michigan, 16 Rhode Island, 8 Wisconsin, 16 Connecticut, 12 lowa, 16 New York, 66 Minnessota, 8 New Jersey, 14 California, 10 Pennsylvania, 521 Oregon, 6 Delevvare, 6 West Virginia, 10 Maryland, 14|Kansas, . 6 Louisiana, 14'Nebraska, G Arkansas, 101 Colorado, 6 Tennessee, 10. Nevada, 6 Kentucky, 22 j * Total, 427 For Ulyssis S. Grant. Missouri, 22 Oa motion of Mr. Hume, of Missouri, the vote was declared unanimous. The enthusiasm at this time was perfectly indescribable, the whole Convention being 6n their feet, shouting, and the band playing “Hail Columbia.” After the nomination the Chairman read a dispatch from the Secretary of War, giving the good news from Gen. Hunter, which was received with great cheering. For Vice President. The total vote was Andy Johnson, of Ten nessee, 492, Dickinson 17, Hamlin 9. Among the members of the National Com mittee, we observe the following : Maryland—H W Hoffman. Virginia—W H Wallace. Florida—Calvin S Robinson. Louisiana—Cuthbert Bullitt. Arkansas—James S Johnston. Missouri—S H Boyd. Tennessee—Joseph S Fowler. Kentucky—P K Williams. West Virginia—A W Campbell. New Mexico—John W Kerr. The Herald has an editorial on the Conven tion and its results, which will be read with interest. It says: The Baltimore Convention—The Ticket and Platform. That extraordinary gibbering of political odds and ends, the Republican or Union Na tional Presidential Convention, has closed its labors, adjourned and dispersed. Its ticket is Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. A western ticket and the platform adopted is generally radical, yet, withal, a strangely mixed up and curiously conglomerate affair. Why Hannibal Hamlin was set aside, and why Andrew Johnson was of all men regarded as the man for Vico President, we do not pre tend to understand—Johnson having been down (o the rebellion, a regular dyed in wool the Southern Democrat. It may have been supposed that his name would give strength to Old Abe among the old line War Democra cy, and contribute at the same time to encour age the leading politicians of the rebellious States to abandon the unprofitable drudgery of Jeff Davis, and t© come over into the re munerative service of Abraham Lincoln. It will suffice, however, that Andrew Johnson has been nominated for Vice President, and with the idea that he is a stronger man than Mr. Hamlin, althoughqthe New England States may have a word to say upon this matter, which will be aaything but advanta geous to Mr. Lincoln or his new colleague. The new platform upon which Messrs. Lin coln and Johnson are nominated, we may say is a stunner. The first resolution of the series, demands the suppression of the rebellion by force of arms. Good, although we think we have heard this proposition before. The sec ond resolution, declares! against any compro mise with armed rebels, except upon the con dition precedent of their unconditional sur- render. Very well. The third, insists that slavery be utterly extirpated from the soil of the United States, and calls for a constitution al amendment to that end. This is a plank from the-Heralu platform. The fourth, thanks our soldiers and sailors for their gallant and glorious services, which is all very well.— The fifth, approves the course pursued by President Lincoln, including h:3 emancipation proclamations, enlistment of negro soldiers, and so on, which is somewhat remarkable af ter declat ing for the supersedure Gt eld Abe s tinkering Abolition experiments by the mode provided in the Constitution. But what means the sixth res-Mjutb-n. which calls for harmony in the connleil? of the administra tion.and approves only those official whose sen timents and conduct are in tuli accord with the valiant measures of the Administration ? Is this shot at- Mr. Sewajrd, or at the Biair fam ily, or at the inoffensive oldman. Attorney General Bates? What would Mrs. GrtiDby say. if Montgomery Biair as Postmaster (gen eral. were made to walk the plank, for the benefit of some hungry and grumbling aboli tion philosopher in an old white hat and c«.a: ? Who can tell? Ike seventh resoluii de mands full protection to ihe soldiers of the Union without regard to color, which is a prety broad hint that Old Abe nas fallen -hort of ’•;* duty j» thi- matter. The eight resolution declares in favor or foreign imniigtation. Anew bid for the for eign vote. The ninth goes for a Pacific rail road. which probably secures all pariies-con rented in *n-.t project. The tenth, pledges the national faith for the redemption of the public debt, which will be accepted as a good tiling by Mr Secretary Chase's bond holders. The eleventh lures ibr the maintenance of the Hour edo rifto which in vending , - iS a pretly southing far B-ncombe _ Negro suffrage, negro equality, mi-eg.ma tiou, free love and woman a rights, etc., are among the reforms which the Convention $4.00 Per Month turned out of doors, with a mixed delegation of army sutlers and contrabands, whites and blacks, from South Carolina. What Wendell Phillips and his radical faction will say to this, we think it will not be difficult to conjecture. The developments of a very few days we ap prehend, from a popular reaction among rad icals and conservatives, war men and peace men, republicans and democrats, against the corruptions, blunders aed imbecilities of this administration, will show that honest Old Abe even on his new platform, will have a very “hard road to travel.” Morgan in Kentucky—Capture of Mount Sterl ing—Railroads, Telegraphs, etc,, destroyed. Cincinnati, June 8, 1864.—A rebel force supposed to be under John Morgan, made an entrance into Eastern Kentucky a few days ago, and, this morning, captured the town of Mt. Sterling. The rebels alto deetroyed the bridge and tore up the track of the Kentucky Central Railroad, between Cynthiana and Paris. They also cut down thetelegrah wires. Another gang of rebels attacked the passenger train on the Louisville and Lexington Rail road, near Smithville—burned two of the pas senger cars,baggage car, and robbed the ex press. Morgan’s forces are estimated at 2500. A portion of his command took possession of Paris this afternoon, and it is thought have destroyed the extensive trestle work near there. Two important bridges have been destroyed between Paris and Cynthiana. Part of the rebel forces are movingnorth on the Kentucky Central Railroad, and there has been no communication south pt Baird’s Sta tion, since 2 p, m. The New York Times Slandering General Grant the Great Battle near Cold Ifarlor—the Times confesses to a defeat for Grant. The Herald says editorially: “On Friday last an action occurred before Richmond, of which Gen. Grant gave the fol lowing efficient account; “We assaulted at half past four, driving the enemy within his entrenchments at all points, but without gaining any decisive advantage. Our troops now occupy a position close to the enemy—some places within 50 yards—and are remaining. Our loss was not severe, nor do I suppose the enemy to have lost heavily. We captured over 300 prisoners—mostly from Breckinridge.” Our own reports and those of all the other papers, including the first of the reports pub lished by the Times, give fuller details of this action, but do not differ in regard to its main features. On Tuesday morning, however, the Times came out with a long account of the battle, printed in the largest type and cohe ring over a page of the paper. This report purported to be written by alitenary man who claims to be considered a philologist, but who has no practical knowledge of military affairs. It reviews Gen. Grant’s campaign—declares that Friday’s battle was the most important of all, and argues that General Grant "was very badly beaten, and the rebels undoubtedly successful. Upon this report the World bases a Copperhead article attacking the Union cause, and it will unquestionably be used by secessionists abroad likewise to help the cause of the rebels. Our readers will remember that the Balti more Convention assembled on the very mor ning that the Times published this report, and we have no doubt that it was written at the suggestion of Chevalier Ravmond*to injure Gen. Grant and assist Mr. Lincoln in that Convention. The Times has shown itself so utterly unscrupulous in its advocacy of Old Abe that this theory is undoubtedly correct. If the Times’ report be true, then Gen. Grant’s report must be false. To suggest this, and to make out that Grant was a beaten General, was the object of the Times’ article. We have no words adequate to express our reprobation of such dishonest and malicious political ma neuvering as this. Fora paper professing tojbe loyal it is simply abominable, The re° port is calculated to aid and comfort the reb els as weM as the shoddy politicians, for whose benefit it was written. We ask a candid com-' parison between Gen. Grant’s report and the Times' article, and after making thi3 compar ison no man can resist the conviction, that the Times has prostituted its columns to the ba sest of slanders upon our greatest General for the purpose of influencing the Baltimore Con vention against him, and that it presumes to impeach both his generalship and his truthful ness. We know of no more flagrant instance of the degeneracy of the. party press, and no more appropriate means to assist the Times’ candidate for the presidency. Grailt a Demigod. The Yankees are certainly growing cra zy over their new military chieftain, or the Baltimore Convention has excited to the highest' degree the lying propensity so prominent in their character as a peos pie. It is astonishing how many heroes Lee has made and unmade at the North. The following extravagant eulogium we take from the Herald of the 3d instant : Men cannot adequately appreciate con temporary history, or Grant’s extraordi* nary genius would cause the world to re*-, gard him as a second Napoleon or a sec ond Wellington. Four years ago he was a woodchopper and a tanner. Now he has saved his country. When the war broke out there was not room for him in the Illinois militia. Now he all our armies. Less than four years ago he was accidentally selected to lead a reg~’ irnent of raw recruits, and performed hi wonderful feat of transporting them on foot. Since then he has developed into the most consummate general of the age, a giant in fight, unrivalled in tactics, and a better strategist than any of the old mas ters of the art. This record reads like a romance, and yet it falls far shot of the truth. In any other age and almost any other country than this such a man as Grant would be worshipped as a demigod. Even our people, not accustomed to great men, and slow to pin their iaith to any one leader, regard Gon. Grant with an admiration and rCspect inspired by no other American sohliet except VV ashing*, ton and Jackson. Ora Victory in Txavs-Mississippi.—A private letter from Gen. E.

Thk Keoxvillß Register.— Colonel J. A. Sper ry, having waited long for an opportunity to re-es t&blish himself at his old home in East Tennessee, and seeing no immediate prospect of getting back there, has resumed the publication of his paper, tho Knoxville Register, at Charlotte, North Carolina. The first number is before us. It is a large and handsomely printed sheet, and is of course filled with interesting matter. It is published weekly atloue dollar per month, and is especially intended as a common medium through which East Tennesseans, in the army and in exile, may communicate with each other and keep up an interchange of senti ments upon all questions in which they are interes ted. The news from East Tennessee will be made a speciality in its eolums. It will, therefore, have pe culiar interest for all who are from that section.— Bnt the paper will not bo devoted entirely to East Tennessee affairs. Its readers will be kept well posted with regard to tho current news of the day from all sections. Col. Sperry knews how to make a good-paper, and he will not fail to make a good one of the Register. We bespeak for him a liberal share of patronage, and hartily wish him and his paper long life and prosperity. AYaxkek Prayer.—of Lord, protect U. S. Grant' U. S. A., Conqueror l—(O Lord, protect us!

The following extract from a private leite:, dated May 2d, is published in the Richmond Dispatch: The Yankees entered Natchitoches on the 31st of March, with high hoada and brave, with flying colors and martial music. They remained for six days# In that period, more abominations were enacted than I deemed possible for the imagination even of demons to conceive. On the evening of April 5, they began their advance. At midnight, we were awakened by a furious knocking at the door ; the assaulting party threatening to break in if not admittted. Preparations were even made to Are the dwelling. Imagine the feel ing of two lone women at this awful juncture. Earthly aid there was none. With a hurried cry to God for protection, we dressed as has tily as possible, the rufliain, meanwhile, bat tering at the door. Opening the door with trembling fingers,J in stalked two Zouaves— the most hideous objects that ever met my gaze. They informed us that they had been sent to search the house. One was armed with a rifle, his companion with an enormous knife. They threatened to use these upon us, if we did not deliver up all arms, gold, valua bles and secret papers. We told them to search, but the chief spokesman was so in toxicated that he seemed bewildered at the invitation. They remained until half-past 1 o’clock and then departed, informing us, how ever, that they would soon return for examination. Remembering a dagger that I had in my trunk, long cherished as a talisman against a woman’* last emergency, I ran to secure it. Scarcely had I clutched it, when the uproar without was resumed, and soon thereafter, our terrible visitors re-appeared.— This time their menaces were of murder, and violence worse than murder. They ransacked armoirs, Ifroke locks, emptied trunks and threatened to kill us if me did not give them gold. I tried'to escape, but one of them bran dished an axe over me, and swore he would “split my skull.” Resigning myself to fate with a feeliHg of despair, such as I hope may never crush me again, I seated myself, and reciting«n act ofcontrition,prepared for death. Releasing me for the moment, the ruffian bade his comrade “call in the blacks.” At these worus, hope forsook me, and I vainly strovo to dissemble their awful import. Maddened by a furtile search for treasures they declared that the negroes had informed them that Mr. C. was an officer in the Ccfhfederate army, and had a big box of gold and silver hid there Very -soon, Dave, Fred and Valsin, three of our slaves, came into our bed room. Dave was the one who had told them these fables which roused their greed. Luckily for him, he left with the Yankees. * * But let me finish with this night of agony. The Zouaves put us in our room, under guard, while the negroes escorted them through the house. My room escaped, their pollution by some miracle. Suddenly, one of the negroes who had accompanied the Zouaves stole back where we were prisoned, and, with the most obscene gestures, raised a club over Madam C., as if to strike her dead. She appealed to the Zouave guarding us, “if it were possible that he could allow this murder.” {Some hu man instinct must have conquered his ferocity, for immediately hailing his confere, wh® rushed up to the scene, they combined toffiurl the negro to the floor. As soon as he was prostrate, they hammered him with their fists and boots as ruthlessly that, forgetting, for one wild moment, the justice of the act, we implored them to let him go. They yielded, but as he slunk towards the gallery, the Zou ave with the bowie-knife, smote him so severe lj.that the weaponjshivered on his ribs. Our bed-room and my garments were stained with his blood. After that they dismissed the ne groes and sat down quietly. Picture us alone with two such abandoned wretches and com pletely in their power. God, however, took care of us, and perhaps our very innocence abashed them, for, “’TIs said that the lion will turn and flee From a maid in the pride of her purity. At last—at last, they left us just os the morning star went doifn. We moved to Natch itoches immediately, as we were determined not to spend another night beyond the river. * •» ■»'- By £IIH, Livsnßwton A Cos.
