Nashville Publishing House.— At a conven
tion of ministers of the Southern Methodist Church,
at Louisville, P if Pinckard, C B Parsons and S D
Baldwin were appointed a Board of Commissioners,
with full power and authority to assert the rights
of the Church to the Afethoiist Publishing House
in Nashville. The “preamble” set forth that “an
information has been filed in the -United States
Circuit Court for the Middle District of Tennessee,
for the confiscate n ofthe Southern Methodist Pub
lishing House ai Xashville, Tenn, on sundry specifi
cations unknown to us, but generally on 4hc ground
of disloyalty; that said publishing house is the
property of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South
a legitimately organized ecclesiastical organization,
and recognized as such by the laws and courts of
the United States; that it is the duty of said church
to respond to said information, but that the regular
general conference of said church,—owing to the
existing agitatiofis of the country, cannot be held
according to the laws of the church;” whereupon
the convention aforesaid undertook to act for the
church in the matter.
New Orleans.— From certain signs, says the Sel
ma Reporter, that have lately made themselves
manifest, the friends of the Confederate cause need
not be surprised to learn that Gens. Banks and Chn
by will have use for their troops nearer to then
headquarters than Mobile Bay. Memphis was one
of those surprises, which like claps of thunder,
sometimes suddenly fall as from a clear sky in times
of war.
There is a Confederate army, superior in strength,
and greatly superior infighting renown, to that un
der the New Orleans Generals, within striking dis
tance of the Crescent City. A blow from it is far
more within the rang* of probability than the late
swoop of Forrest, on Memphis.

Democratic Convention :
TUB PLATFORM.
At the afternoon session of the Convention
on Tuesday, Mr. Guthrie, from the special
committee to prepare resolutions, reported the
following platform, which was adopted with
only four dissentent voices :
Resolved, That in the future, as in the past,
we adhere with unswerving the Un
ion under the Constitution as the only solid
foundation of our strength, security and hap*
piness as a people, and as the framework gs a
government equally conducive to the welfare
and prosperity of all the States, both Northern
and Southern.
Resolved, That this Convention does explic
itly declare, as the sense of tlje t American peo
pie. that after four years of failure to restore
the Union by the experiment of war, (daring
which, under the pretense of military necessi
ty or the war power, the Constitution itself
has been disregarded in every part, and pub
lic liberty and private right alike trodden
down and the national prosperity of the coun
try essentially impaired,) justice, humanity,
liberty and the public welfare, demand.that
immediate efforts be made for a cessation of
hostilities with a view to an ultimate conven
tion of alt the States, or other peaceable means,
to the end that at tho earliest practical mo.-,
ment peace may be restored on the basis of
the Federal Union of the States.
Resolved, Ttwit the direct interference of the
military authority of the United States in the
recent, elections held in Kentucky, Maryland,
Missouri and Delaware, was a shameful vio
lation of the Constitution, and the repetition
of such acts in the approaching election will
be held as revolutionary, and resisted with all
the means and power under our control.
Resolved, That the * aim and object of the
Democratic party is to preserve the Federal
Union and the rights of the States unimpaired,
and they hereby declare that they consider
the administrative usurpation of extraordina
ry and dangerous [lowers, not granted by the
Constitution : the subversion of the civil by
military hiw in States not in insurrection ; the
arbitrary military arrest, imprisonment, trial
•and sentence of American citizens, in States
where the civil laws exists in full force ; the
suppression of the freedom of speech and of
the press: the denial of the right of asylum :
the open and avowed disregard of States’
rights ; the employment of unusual test oaths,
and the interference with, and the denial ofj
the right of the” people to bear arms, as cal
culated to prevent the restoration of the Union
and the perpetuation of a government deri
ving its just powers from the consent of the
governed.
Resolved, That the. sympathy of the Demo
cratic party is; heartily and earnestly exten
ded to the soldiers of our army who are, and
have been, in the field under “the flag of our
country, and, in the event of our attaining
power, they will receive the care, protection,
regard and kindness that the of
the Republic have so nobly earn**..mat-
Resolved, That the shameful disregard of
the Administration to Us duty in respect to
our fellow citizens who now are, and long
have been, prisoners of war in suffering con
dition, deserves the severest reprobation and
scorn alike of the public and common human
itv.
THE CHICAGO CONVENTION—NOMINATION' MAM
ON THE THIRTV-naSK OF AUGUST.
For President—George B. McClellan.
For Vice-President—Geo. H. Pendleton.
The Washington Chronicle of the Ist inst..
contains the following dispatch from Chicago,
which we condense :
Chicago. Aug. 31—1 o'clock.— The Con
vention re-assembled at 10 o’clock. The
Wigwam was densely packed, and the crowd
outside greater than ever.
Immediately after the Convention was called
to order, prayer was offered by the Rev. Dr.
Hailey, of Chicago.
The following resolution was adopted
Resohed. That this Convention shall not
be dissolved by adjournment at the close of
iis business, but shall remain organized, sub
ject to be called at any time and place that
the Executive National Committee shall de
signate.
The President then stated the epics; icn be
fore the Convention to be on ordering the
previous question, to proceed to the nomina
tion of a candidate for tho Presidency, and it
was ordered without dissent.
The vote was then taken by States, the
chairman of each delegation announcing the
vo'a of c..oh Stale as they were called .

Several delegations having given then
votes foff Horatio Seymour when the call of
States had been finished Mr. Seymour declin
ed the nomination. lie knew Gem. McClellan
did not seek the nomination. That able officer
had declared it would be more agreeable to
him to resume his position in the army : but
he will not honor any less the high position
assigned him by a great majority of his coun
trymen because ho has not sought it.. * * *
We are now to the American people
to unite and save our country. Let us not
look back. It is with the present that we have
to deal. Let bygones be bygones. # * - -
He would pledge his life that when Gen. Mc-
Clellan was placed in the Presidential chait
he will devote all his energies to the best in
terests of his country, and to securing, never
again to be invaded, all the rights and privi
leges of the people under the Laws ami Con
stitution.
The President then announced the vote,
which was received with deafening cheers.
Immediately after the nomination, a banner,
on which was painted a portrait of Gen.
Clellan, and bearing as a motto, <: lf I can’t
have command of my own men, let me share
their fate on the field of battle,” was run up
behind the President’s platform, and was wel
comed with enthusiastic cheers.
A communication was received from the
Chairman of the session of People’s Associa
tion of New York, claiming- to represent twenty
thousand citizens, accompanied by resolutions
pledging the members of the Association to
the support of the Chicago nominee.
Mr. Vailandigham moved that the nomina
tion of George B. McClellan be made the
unanimous sense of the Convention, which
was seconded by Mr. McKeon.
Governor Powell and Judge Alien, of Ohio,
made brief speeches, and the question was taken
on making the nomination unanimous, which was
declared carried amid deafening applause.
Mr. Wickliffe offered a resolution to the effect
that Kentucky expects the first act of General Mc-
Clellan, when inaugurated next March, will be to
open the prisons and set tho captives free : which
was carried unanimously.
The convention then voted for Vice-President j
| The first ballot resulted as follows: James Guthrie, !
05J; George II: Pendleton, 54J; Daniel W. Voor• !
| bees, 13: George W. Cass, 26 ; August Dodge, 9; j
| .T. D. Catou 16: Governor Powell, 324; John .T. j
! Phelps, 8; Blank, 4. On the second ballot, New j
! York threw its wlfole vote for Pendleton. The j
other candidates were then withdrawn, and George |
H. Pendleton, of Ohio, was unanimously nomin- ,
ated.
Mr. Pendleton, being loudly called lor, could j
only promise to devote himself in future, as in tho j
past, with entire devotion to the great principles j
which lie at- the foundation of our government— i
! the rights of the States and the liberties of the
people iu the future as in the past. * * * With ,
i the hearts of millions of freemen with them, the i
| Democracy would again build up the shattered !
i fragments of the Union and hand it down to the 1
next generation as it was received from the last, j
An executive committee of one person from each j
I State will be appointed; and it was resolved that I
| tho Democracy of the country are requested to j
meet at different cities and have mass ratification j
meetings on tho 17tli of September, tho anniversa- ,
ry of the adoption of the Federal Constitution.
With nine cheers for tho ticket, the convention '
adjourned, subject to the call of the National Con- i
vention.
The Washington Chronicle is very much
out of humor with the Chicago nominations. !
i It devotes its leader to a biography of Me- !
I Clellan. We give the concluding paragraph: ;
The nomination of General McClellan will j
! be most acceptable in the South among the ■
| enemies of the Republic. It will be perceived
j that it is hailed with equal enthusiasm by I
I Vailandigham, Belmont, Fernando Wood, i
■ Dean Richmond, and all the opposing dements j
i of peace and war in the so-called Democratic 1
Association. Always a negative man, he will ]
be now more a negative man than ever. In
the South his nomination will be accepted as
a declaration on the part of the Democratic
party in favor of the separation ofthe Union. '
There >'3 no escaping this issue : for all who
are. the known champions of McClellan are
! the known champions of disunion. Jeff. Davis 1
j understands his pupil well. Educated in his
’ school of politics, he and his partisans will :
| hail the action of the Chicago Convention :
: with a supreme satisfaction. And they are 1
j right in this, for whatever McClellan himself
j may desire, the peace leaders at home and the
; traitors at the South will decide adversely.
, - However McClellan himself may feel,
i lie is undoubtedly; the apostle of a degrading
i peace. He runs upon this issue alone, and his
■ peace is a peace of repudiation and disunion.
I * * * And we have a sublime confidence j
i that the American people will stand by. sup
| port, sustain, and adhere to, and carry over !
1 ail obstacles, and against all appliances, !
f Abraham Lincoln, the Union candidate, into I
| (lie Presidential chair.
' Os Pendleton, the Chronicle says :
Mr. Pendleton is a man of respectable tal- j
ents and attainments, a Virginian by birth, j
: and thorough (Southern in hi3 political sym
; pathies. Not to put too fine a point upon it, i
; he is what is known as a Copperhead of the
yellowest hue, and has been the yokefellow of
the Woods in opposing the measures of the
Administration fcr ; the suppression of the re->
| hellion. If anything will reconcile such men !
as Long, of Ohio, and Harris, of Maryland, to
flie support of the ticket, it will be the name
of Pendleton.
Thu Language ok the Baxxebs.—lhe follow
ing are the mottoes which were inscribed on ban
ners at the "Peace” meeting in Syracuse New
i York :
"No more victims for the slaughter pen—not a
man nor a dollar."
"If Seward touches hi- bell again the people will
stretch his neck.”
“Abe Lincoln slaughter? white men under the
pretence of freeing niggers."
"The people are ready to take vengeance on the 1
; advocates of eivil war."
“Lincoln demands blood! Provost Marshals be- !
f ware!”
"Lei the tyrant tremble whenever the people j
speak.”
“Usurpation unrebuked is despotism accepted." 1
“Crush the tyrant Lincoln before he erushe
you.”
"Free ballots or free ballets."
“War ia dissolution, speedy and fin aL ' ’
“This is a nigger war.”
"We TciU not be conecri&ed in a war for the etua-.-
ciratioc of slavery.”
! ‘'Humanity ccmmanda that this butchery shall j
' cease.”
"Lincoln ha’ murdered three white men to free j
one negro.”
The Appeal will resume publication in j
Montgomery ? Ala., so soon as the propri
j etors can get their material shipped to that
i point. They expect to issue by ihe * cth
of this month.

little to communicate, however, except the parti
culars of the affair on the Weldon railvfhy on the
25th ult., » full account of which has reached your
readers before this time. Two thousand prisoners,
nine piece* of artillery and seven stand of colors,
together with a heavy list of killed and wounded,
on the part of the enemy, and a relatively small
loss on our part, make a very handsome affair anq
reject no little credit upon Gen. Hill and his com
mand. Ihe gallant conduct of Hampton’s cavalry,
who drove the enemy’s infantry out of one line of
intrenchmonts and took about eight hundred pri
soners, is particularly gratifying. Hampton has
i accomplished a great deal since he succeeded to
the command of this arm of the service. His suc
cess has been continuous and unbroken, tho credit
of which is no longer monopolised by the regi
ments and officers from Virginia, as was too fre
quently tho case in former campaigns. Some of
the papers hero still speak of “Pit* Lee’s and
’ Hampton's cavalry," as if these officers possessed
1 separate and equal commands, or as if Fitz Lee
were the chief of cavalry and not Hampton.—
Such a solecism was never perpetrated in Stuart’s
day.
But .Virginians have much to oxcite their pride
| and stimulate their patriotism.’ They have a wag
i nificent domain, superb scenery, a productive soil,
immense resources, a devoted race of men and wo
men, and along line of patriotic ancestors. Their
j sons have been conspicuous in the Senate and in
; the field, and their woman lack no virtue that can
add grace or dignity to their sex. It is difficult, if
not impossible, therefore, for a Virginian, whatso
i over may bo his position or circumstances in life,
| ever to cease to be a Virginian. Some of General
Lee’s wannest admirers have thought that even
, ho, great and good as he is, has not been always
quite able to rise superior to this feeling, which,
i however much its existence in the breast of the
j Commander of an army or the Chief Magistrate
j of a nation may be regot ted, nevertheless lies at
the bottom of much of the excellence and renown
to which any community or State may attain. I
know not how much truth there is in the supposi
tion in regard to our great chief; but if there is
| any foundation for it, I can only say it is the only
! defect that mars the otherwise perfect symmetry of
| his character.
But to return to the cavalry of the Army of
Northern Virginia : It is not probable that it will
over be brought to that state of efficiency to which
it might have attained if it had been subjected to
a moro rigid and judicious discipline in the first
I years of the war ; but that Hampton and the ac
complished officers under him will do all in their
: power to make this arm es the service what it
should be, there is every reason to believe. The
| improvement already made, and which is manifest
to tho whole country is only an earnest of what
: may be expected in the future. At tho outset of
1 tire war, the material of which the cavalry was
! composed was as good as it could be. Since then
| a goodly number of persons formerly attached, to
the infantry service, who were tired of walking
i and desired to ride, have exchanged the musket
for the sabre, in the hope of ha/ing an easier
time of it. These recruits require a commander
with a clear head, and especially a firm hand :
and those, it is believed, they now have.
The morning papers contain an address from
Judge Ould, Confederate Commissioner of Ex
change, to the friends and relations of our pris
oners in the hands of the United Slates, in which
he exposes tho duplicity of the Federal authori
ties in their persistant refusal to carry out the car
tel for the exchange of prisoners of war. A short
time ago, there was reason to believe that the ex
change would bo resumed at an early day, but at
this time there is no prospect of it whatever. The
reason the United States do not abide by their
j agreement is too obvious to admit of any difference
|of opinion. We have the larger number of pris
i oners, but nearly all of those in our hands are men
; whose terms of service have expired, or hundred
: days men whose brief enlistments will have soon
| come to an end. If these prisoners were exchanged,
j therefore, but few, if any, of them would be avail
! able for further service: whereas the Confeder
ate prisoners at the North are in for the war, and
if released, would soon be in the field again. Mr.
Lincoln may have somo doubts, too, whother the
inmates of Belle Isle and Anders on villo would
vote for him, if exchanged. At all events, he
knows they have mouths to be fed, and require a
considerable force to guard them. Under -these
| circumstances, he is “smart" enough to believo ho
would gain nothing by the change : and when was
a Yankee ever known to do anything, unless he
I 3aw a prospect ofgaiuing some’advantage, or trick -
1 ing somebody ?
I ..There is no foundation for the report lhat peace
| commissioners or agents have arrived at Bichmond
I from the northwestern States, or from any other
■ quarter. Jacques and Gilmore are the last that
were here, and they went away with a Ilea in
j their ears. It is to be regretted that Confederate
' journals'devote so much space to the discussion of
J peace prospects and the Presidential election in
the United States: since the greater the anxiety
: we manifest in this regard, the stronger will be
| the reason on the part of the enemy to continue
i the war. P. W. A.
The news from Georgia is not altogether 119
wo would desire, and will, perhaps, depress
and elongate the faces of 3ome readers.—
There is ultimate or immediately even no
danger for or in Georgia other than what
awaits us everywhere. We may, if we choose,
throw away our independence and forfeit the
peace and independence our brave defenders
in arms have so nobly earned and deserved
by prostituting our hearts and affections on
the altar of mammon. If all men of military
age and capacities in and of Georgia had been
in the field when and where they should have
been—we mean all not necessarily and use
fully engaged or detained otherwise—General
Johnston would not have found occasion for
retreating, or General Hood would ere this
have hurled back the foe. Atlanta so long
as it was a safe site for speculation, and ex
tortion. and mammon worship, was thronged
with men who could and should have gone to
the front—as soon as danger approaches, At
lanta was abandoned in hot haste by the
street-loungers and money changers whose
business was to depreciate General Johnston
and the currency. We have no fears for
Georgia or any other State invaded or threat
ened : if her true sods will awake in earnest
to their duties, and oar Generals will learn
the use of the spade and .shovel, and mattock,
and the editors will cease clouding or befog
ging all minds with “situation ' articles, and
give the truth pure and plain as far as propri
ety permits utterance concerning military
events and issues.

Stand by the Draft.
Such is the caption of the leading ar
ticle in tho Washington Chronicle, of the
25th. The editorial commences thus :
The excessive bounty system is having
its effect. There is an increasing anxiety
to escape the draft. At the outset of the
war more soldiers were tendered than the
Government needed Now the question
is not, “Shall I serve my country in the
field ?" but “how much can I make by ias
king up arms ?”
A mercenary 'character is thus given to
military service which is discreditable to
the country and hurtful to the army.
Bounty jumpers are becoming an institu
tion, and the spirit of greed is corroding
that of patriotism in the army, while out
side of it the selfish love of ease is blend
ing our peoplo to the solemn obligations
of citizenship.
The growing spirit of aversion to the
draft, the eager desire to avoid it by high
bounties and enlistment of negroes and
foreigners, is not measuring the high
standard of American patriotism.
The country cannot be saved by infer-*
c enary or dark skinned defenders. It
must be aided, as heretofore, by the no
blest blood of the land. It must be pros
teeted by the young men of culture as
well as the sons of toil. It must enlist
in its service the men of position as well
as the simple laborer in the field. * *
We talk plainly. We know that many
a generous man's enthusiasm has been
chilled —many a heroic soldier's patriot'*
ism has been paralyzed by the indifference
of his countrymen at home. A few thou
sand men now, coming to the aid of
Grant or Sherman, would end the war.
They are not forthcoming; and a drag net
is spread over the rebellious districts to
gather together men for the service of
the country; and even Yale College,
which made such a noble record for itself
at the outset of the war, is openly in the
field seeking to guarantee itself against
the draft by the aid of hired substitutes.
Not such a temper saved Borne in its
darkest hours; or inspired the men who
won for us our liberties. Not such a spir
it will nerve the hands or cheer the hearts
of our gallant heroes who arc now up
holding the flag of our country, and fill
their depleted ranks with the right mate
rial. We wnnt men, but we want men of
high purposes, of noble aim, of burning
patriotism, of self-sacrificing enthusiasm
in a glorious cause.
Asa curious illustration of the aoove
remarks, and of the new idea of “volua>
tecring,” which has found root at the
North?we copy the following from the
Chronicle's news items:
Substitutes. —One hundred and thir
ty of the employees in the warehouse of
the Pennsylvania railroad company at
flarrisburg have volunteered to go to the
war as substitutes. They receive houc«
ties ranging from $450 to SSOO.
