The Union State Convention.
The proceedings of tbe Union State
Contention hare already been laid before
our readers in epeoial dispatches from Co
lumbus. The ticket nominated is one of
tbe Tery best that oa d be put in the field.
- ' They are all gentlemen fncly adapted te
the offices for whiobjihey hTe been nom
inated.
The spirit of the Convention wa very
ezeelleat, there being the utmost fcarmo
y of feeling, Tery much in contract with
the recent stormy senion of the copper
heads. The resolutions adopted were brief
and expressive. That endorsing' Abra
ham Lincoln and favoring his re-nomination
was received with thunders of ap
plause, showing how deep-seated the popu
tar enthusiasm for him prevails.
The action of the Union party pf Ohio
' pledging their material and moral sup-
poj-Un behalf of the restoration of the
Union, m hu throughout the whole
country. The party wmon aeieaiea
u.Hi,tm by 100,000 majority, is now
prepared to MP tn P1 or the

The Chicago Copperhead says
lata call of Gov. Tales : "The folly of the
aUthe twelessness of the a en if they
v. fnmiahed the niter waste
the money to be expended in raising, arm-
leg and sending them forward were ar-
parent to the dullest comprehension ; ana
the result is that not the half of twenty
thouiand men have been obtained, and
those obtained, many are very children."
Thin - etapid driveling is 1U own nnti
dote. Every one of the least intelligence
kaows that the men who have gone from
Ohio, and should have gone from Illinois,
lave beea of immense service to ike conn-
try. It ia only the desire of tbe Copper
heads to block up aU the meant ef sus
sefnlly closing the war, that pompls

A Copperhead In Colombus.
The Ohio Btatesmaa exhibited an nan
snal amount of faeetioosness yesterday in
commenting apoa the aomiaatioas made
by the Convention. The knowledge of the
Btatesmaa ere a outruns its wit. Ene-
eially do gentlemen who onoe acted with
the Demooratio party, . ad who, when the
rebellion began, had the manliness to ent
themselves adrift from party connections,
receive the ge tie flagellations of the
Statesman.
The Honorable Luther Day' was a Union
man two y are before he was nominated
for Supreme Judge. His Demoeraoy was
not long-lived after the attack oa Sumter
He, together with Alphonio Hart. Eso. . of
navenna, who were the only leadipgDemo-
erata of talent in Portage county, came
out from amongst them and have ni more
affiliation with goch Copperheads as the
Statesman, than light has with darkness.
The Copperheads need to indulge in i
great deal of grim humor, to keep op their
spirits, woen they remember how the tru-
Iy noble and able Democrats have la
ken their position in the Union party.

War Brewing In Europe
lishmanoTtnVT?lJtS24PIe
oenlly twice traversed Europe from Lon
don to Stamtoul, in a private letter to the
editor of tbe Tribune, thus epitomises the
situation :
I have made a most attentive investiga
tion ef tbe state of publio feeling in Tur
key, Greece, Italy, France, and Swilnr
lnd, and will give vou a brief resume on
which you may depend :
the Turks, Arabs, and all tbe Moham
medan tribes, bate the Eaperor of tbe
French; and no donbt serious war mav
be expected in Algeria and alonj; tbe
whole of Northern Africa.
The Greeks hate rhe Emperor of tbe
French ; let, beoaase he supports the Pope,
wbom toe u reeks tbink tbe ereatoet enemy
o' their religion. 2d, became the Empe
ror has buliied them, and ther have taken
entirely to the Brituh Alliance.
The Italians hate the Emperor of the
French, with euoh hatred as only Italians
perhaps can feel :
1st, Because, they Bay, hec&vemonev to
Italian soldiers to shoot Garibaldi ; that
brigands, dresBed as soldiers, paid with
r renon got a. am ins act or assassination
(I am myself fully persuadod that they are
right in that )
2d, Because he keeps their Car.!'1
(Rome) away from them, and bas done all
he couid to keep np confusion and brig
andage: to disunite and enslave them, in
stead of uniting them ard liberating them.
si, Uecause, breaking his solemn pro
mise, be betrayed them after the victories
of Monteballo, Magenta and Solferino.
6tb, Beoaase the Italians are republi
cans, e-.d the tmperor is the perjured de
stroyer of European Repbulieanism. (The
man is also doing his best to be now tbe
destroyer of American Republicanism.
Tbe .-tries hate Napoleon, beoaase they
are rlepublloens, and good ones, and
know him to be the treaoherouj enemv of
liberty.
Bo', what is more important than all
the rest, and it is, by the blessing of the
Great Beit g, perfectly true, 'The French
people and lb i rrench army are hearilv
sick of Napoleon "
From long praouoe, l epeac r renon
rlr ihe same as Envlisi', and had ex
ollent opportunities for a-quiring infor
mation bjtb going through rranoe, return
ing, and ia i on my late visit.
I am astounded at tbe state of things,
I never could have believed it. On my
saying a word about the tmperor and
Mexioo, peasants, farmers, bourgeois, pri
vate soldiers and offioera, go off into tor-
ente of invective against the Emperor,
such as I eonld hardly have imagined, and
that in the presence of an .bnglisnman
Snoh davs as those of Louis XVI. and
Morie Antoinette may not be so distant as
people suppose. The French are a fierce,
fiery, and haurhly race, and l can only
look on the Emperor as titling on the
peak of a veleino in imminent danger of
eruption.
Yon will naturally want to know wnai
tbe French themselves put forward as
ibeir principal rrievanoes:
1st. For eacb of tne last tnree years, toe
conscription has been 100 000 a year, the
previous maximum having been only iu,-
000.
2d. One hundred thousand having been
sent to Mexioo, (and the Frenoh hate sea-
voyages 1, of which only to,uou, at moet,
remain alive.
31 That the regiments sent to Menoo
were selected as beine the most Repnbli
ean. the most Leritim s', or tbe most Or
leanist, and the Bonapsrtist regiments len
at home.
4th. That Reoublioan. Legitimist, and
Orleanist officers, were unfairly eiehiog
ed into the doomed regiments.
6ih. That the luxury, vioe and exlrava-
gaooe of tbe Court are eyond measure,
ard tbe Bnanoes, or the oountry are
rionslv mffirinr therefrom.
6!h. That tbe turbulent psncy oi 'ne
Emperor is resuscitating the Holy Al
ianoe,vitl rrossia, Austria, ana xwassia,
against France. There is no doubt this s
quite true. Tbe French don't like to be
hrouffhL wiinout cause, into a war wm
hree nations at a time, ana mey mini
believe with justice if with three, then
with four fearful odds ! Also Italy ; that
makes five. Then the whole Mohamme
dan population of Africa, with Turkey,
x a very poor looa-out.

Second Dispatch.
WASHINGTON,May 26.
Tbe following is believed to be a striotly
aoourate account of the disgraceful rseault
last night on Senator Chaodler, in the
Publio Dining Hall of the National Hall :
Mr. Chandler, with Dr. Clark, of Detroit,
and a lady with two children, were taking
dinner at a side-table, when in the oourse
of conversation on the political questions,
he denonnced, in very strong tetms cop
perheads generally, and especially those of
the Western States. Mr. Vnrhecs. of Indi
ana, was sitting at another table behind
him, (Chandler) with Mr. Hannagaa, also
of Indiana, when Mr. Vorheea
arose from his seat end approached Chand
ler in an excited manner, demanding
whether he referred to him, to whioh he
replied. " Who are you, sir : I don t know
you,"at the same time rising from his obair.
Mr. Voorhees replied, "lam Voorhees, of
Indiana." Suiting the aotion to the word
he struck Mr. Chandler on the side of the
face. The two then closed, and the Sena
tor was rapidly getting the better of Vor.
hees, when Hannagan eame to the tatter's
assistance with a heavy milk pitcher, which
he broke on Mr. Chandler's head,
the contents of the pitcher splashed over
the whole company. Chandler was
stunned by the blow, and had not fully
recovered himself when Hannagaa dealt
him a second blow with a chair. At this
juncture the parlies present Interfered
and the belligeranM were seperated.
Chandler's head wss'slightly out by
pitcher, and his shoulder and arm were
considerably br. ised by a obalr. Though
not able to olose his band, he bas been out
to-dav attending to his usual duties.
Vorhees is quite as large a man
Chandler, posciblr a little lar.tr.
Several persons sealed at the table are
nnsitiva that Mr. Chandkr mate

mention of him personally.

Mr. Washhrrnc, of Illinois, from the
Committee on Commerce, asked leave to
rep'-rt a bill appropriating $25,000 for the
preservation and repair of the public
works on the lakes, andf 10,000 for similar
purposes on the sea coast.
Mr. Washbnrne said that in the present
oondition of the country, the Committee
would not report any general river and
harbor bill, but they considered it neces
sary that the appropriauon proposed
should be made in order to save the works
from destruction. This was all whioh
could now be accomplished. He desired
that the bill should be printed, and called
up on a future occasion.
Mr. elevens nhiMted nntess tbe bill
sbotl be considered in Committer of the
Whole on the state of the Union.
Mr. Washburne cave notice that he
would move for a suspension of ths rules
to introduce it next Monday.
me nonse men resumed the eonsidera
tion of the reciprocity question.
Mr. Baxter, of Vermont, proceeded to
show that the term reoiprooity as app led
to the treaty is a misnomer; no mutual
rights are given to the United States by
the British Provinces, and tbe treaty
should be abrogated.
Mr. J. C. Allen, of I linois, opposed tbe
abrogation; with the Mississippi and the
Su Lawrence elosed against the West, the
railroads and canals would compel ag
riculturalists to trantport their produots
to market and to pay just such tribute as
they may exaot.
Mr. Sweet, of Maine, said that we can
succeed better while the treaty ia alive
than if dead. The treaty is really what it
beneficial to tbe fishenei and tbe snip
buiding interests, and it would be better
te revise it than abrogate it altogether.
Mr. Duvie, of Maryland, argued mat
the commercial treaty of this kind is a
dlreot invasion of the constitutional pro
rogation of Congress to regulate oommerce
ith foreign nations. Trade should oe
subieoted to taxation as far ai onr inter
ests are concerned. Among otner reasons,
he opposed tbe treaty, because reoiprooity
between the United States and Canada was
the last remnant of Demoeraoy and of free
trade, wh eh was benefioial to foreigners
and hurtful to us.
Mr. Liltlf iohn, of New York, said that
when we are overburdened with taxation
to carry on an internal war, it became
nise statesmen to prrmote the prosperity
of tbe people in ev ry department. He
entered his protest against the abrogation
or tne treaty, woion nas uunng us exim-
onoa been vastly benefioial to the innaoit
ants on our borders. He was in rvor oi
appointing commissioners, in order to
make a more perfect Treaty of Reoiprooity,
and he trusted that the House would not
oonsent to its complete abrogation.
Mr. Morrill of Vermont, said there was
not a single gentleman, ho bas addressed
tbe House, who did not admit at tbe tut
set, that ihe trea y operates injuriously to
the United 8' tics.
There oould be no goid cause forofiens
in giving the t otioe fur the abrogation of
the traatv, because suot nonce is provtieu
for in the treaty itself. He was more than
ever convinoed that there is not a single
interest which is benefitted or can be ben
efice 1 by this.
Mr. Washburne was in favor or aorogat-
inff the treatv. and said that if Great
Britain geti the benefit of it, let Great
Britain herself ask forotherarrapgements
Mr. Ward of New York, who reported
the ioint resolution, closed the debate
Tbe House first voted on the amendment
of Mr. Arnold of Illinois, namely, author
ixinc the President by and with tbe ad

When pretty near the Point he shewed
them a tree where a torpedo had been
hanging a few days before, and warned
1 hem not to go any further. Ihe Ummi

on or run ashore, and he chose the first,
but his vessel was all blown to pieces, ana

ihe torpedo was fired Dy a gaivanio our.
