Paragraph I, General Orders, No. 03, (current scries,) is thus amended : All detailed men (including those between eigh teen and forty-five years of age.) will report to, and be commanded by the General of the Reserves in the States in which they have been assigned or detailed, who will organize them into companies and battalions. It is not anticipated that they will be called out except in emergencies occurring in or near the counties contiguous thereto ; except that companies hereafter formed may bo required to perform service in repelling raids along a line of railroad running through their respective counties.

The detailed men in government employ, will be organized into companies composed as far as practicable of the men engaged in the same workshops; though exempts will be permitted to join such organizations.

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. ♦ - ♦ Latest SVoiii tlie Sortli. Northern papers of the 31st ultimo have been received. They contain nothing of in terest except the proceedings of the Chicago 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 . McClellan. Fey won .

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. $5.00 Per Month Army Correspondence ol' the Savaunali Republican. Kuumond, Sept. 1, ISG4. A flight attack of lever, and attendance upon a wounded brother, who has answered to his last roll call upon this earth, have prevented mo from writing for several days past. There has been but 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. • [ Charleston Cornier, (Jen. Wheeler's Whereabouts. — The Nashville Union of the 28th ult., has the following concerning the movement of (Jen. Wheeler, which confirms the states ment received by telegraph, that the greater portion of his force was at Me- Minaville; A gentleman who came in yesterday from the front, informs us that he heard on his way up that Wheeler and his raid ers had crossed the Tennessee above Lou don, and were making for McMinnville. It was thought to be his intention to cut the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad. There is no Federal force at McMinnvtiic, but if Wheeler is really aiming tor that place and the Chattanooga railroad, he will find himself under the necessity of fi£»htin fT or fleeintr Preparation* have been made to meet him.

Sheridan reports that Early is retreating up the Shenandoah Valley and he pursuing with his whole army, and that Averill attacked Vaughn’s cavalry and captured twenty wagons and two bat tle flags, no prisoners and a herd of cattle. Meade has gone north on ten days leave of ab sence. Gen. Parke commands tho army of the Potomac in his absence. Mobile, Sept. 7. —(Special to the Register, Senatobia, Sept. G.) —Chicago and Cincinnati papers of the 31st ult., and Memphis papers of the Ist inst., have been received. They are filled with the proceedings of tho Chicago Convention, which was harmonious. The nominations give great satisfaction, and are considered as a compromise of the peace and war elements of the Democratic party, Pendleton and the platform being peaceful. Greeley thinks that McClellan, if elected, will be the tool of the leaders who favor slavery. The Chicago Times says the platform looks to a cessation of hostilities and an adjustment of difficulties, on the basis of a final restoration of the Union, The feeling of a large majority of the Con vention was decidedly for peace, and resist ance by force to all further usurpation by the administration. Early is retrograding up the Shenandoah Valley, followed by the Federals. Grant’s army is increasing by recruits at. the rate of 1,000 daily. The Cincinnati Enquirer's special gives a gloomy account of the health of Sherman’s array. Great alarm in Nashville on the 3oth in 'consequence of the advance of the Confeder ate force estimated at from 6 to 8,000. Lebanon with many prisoners, including Gen. Mulligan, was captured. The Commander of the Post at Gallatin, ordered hi3 stores to be burned, Wheeler being reported within three miles of tho place. The Chattauooga Gazetto of August 28tb, says Wheeler crossed the llolslon at the mouth of French Brood and morod towards Kentucky, he had inflicted but little damage on the Railroad. Tho Guerillas are still carrying ’on a high hand in Kentucky. A party crossed into Illinois and tore up a por tion of tho Central railroad. A gontleman of veracity who crossed the Mis sissippi river Satarday night, says Kirby Smith and Price have invested Little Rock. Marmaduko occupied Brownsville and having whipped the Federals there, captured the rolling stock of the railroad. Tho Confederate loan advanced 3 per cent, on the reception of the nows in England of Grant's repulse before Petersburg. The Florida has destroyed a largo vessel ofl Bahia, taking $70,000 from her. Tho Tallahassee captured 22 Fishing I dirges ofl’ Prince Edward’s Island. * Gold closed in New York on the 30th at 214. 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. # -■»- The Printers at Raleigh, North Caro iina, are on a “strike” for wages. The price they demand is uot stated, but what ever it was. the publishers refused to yield.
