But there wh» an interval of seven miles between Hardee's corps and the main body, and into this gap Sherman thrust a heavy column. Hardee being thus cut off and exposed to an attack in Hank aifd rear, wai> compelled to retreat after having m ::.. :.d on the enemy much more damage than be ie-» veived. Hood made a corresponding movement, and the whole army is safe nt Povejoy's station. We do not regard three operations as by any inissiis decisive of any question whatever.

The Chicago Nominations. We expressed our opinion upon the 'result of any liommation to be made at Chicago so fully and freely ten days in advance of thu actual nomination that we need hardly repeat it at this time. We then de* c: ue I the belief that Lincoln was determined to be the next President ot the Dinted States; that he Would accomplish his pui j>ose by fair means if he possibly could—that is, would leave it to the deci sion of an election in the ordinary forms -but that, should ho be left out by the popular vote, he Would not hesitate to resoit to force This is still our opinion, not do we see uny rcuson to change it in the un doubted popularity ot the cfliididate whose otrength he will be compelled to test before the people .— • There is everything in the wofld to indicate the near approach of a cnsis which will be decided by military force. An unscrupulous ruler, with half a million of soldiers ut his back, commanded by un scrupulous officers, and devoted to tiia will of the aoveiieigu, (lor such Lincoln is in reality,) never yet neglected the opportunity to overthrow .entirely the Constitution of any country in which the military hud already become the paramount authority. No despot, with whose history we uro acquainted, ever telt a keener relish for the exercise of irresponsible powei- than Lincoln has done, or would resign it with greater reluctance. If, therefore, he should be tenUW* in the canvass, he will find it easy to set aside the election as wanting in foimality, and retain the power *J which he is ulrcady in possession.— Pven vow ho is muking preparations for the essay- A div<ivered plot lias, in all ages, from Pistrutus to Napoleon 111—been the engine, by means of v, hi. h nu ambitious aspiiHiit always seeks to destioy liis most foimidable opponents :uid to flee himself from all opposition in future. Such a plot Lincoln has . already discovered, or bis emissaries have discovered it foi him, and, with tliat plot in his htmds, we hc situte not to uny that, in our opinion, be will not hesitate to crush every nnm who stands between him and absolute power. We should not be sur prised at any moiiieiit to hoar that he had arrested •very member of the Chicago Convention, and that McClellun himselt was an inmate of Port Wmivn or Port Delaware. Many months ago the Mi-phis tophiles, who is ever whispering ut Lincoln's ear, asserted that h>- hud never enjoyed his right, whton was to rule over the whole Cnioii, and not a frag ment of it ; Mini that this right of his would be as uerted and pushed to the utteimost when other ex pedients failed. We have never doubted so lor a moment. Taking it for grunted, however, that the election is to decide the question, it must be adimtted that McClcihin it the most foimidable candidate that the Convention COuld haw* selected to defeat Lin coln. 1 hut he can ■ucei'Ksfully conteud, popular as he undoubtedly is, with the army and the masses, ■ath the drilled ami orgaaiaai forces of Lincoln, supported by so many and such euornious ap pliances of corruption and lntiniidation, we do not for a moment believe. Btill, be is a formidable eom pi-Utoi -a vary formidable competitor". And now the iiuMUon lor every Southern man to consider is, what good will his election do us! He is a war man—a decided war man--and is inn us.a war candidate. He is proclaimed by his ti lends to bo a btut.-iighta man. But what sort of a State-rights man t He was tlie man, as Mr Hams, of Maryland, justly said, who initiated that policy by which the rights of the State* in Un. eolndom were completely prostrated. He oulered the un-est of the whole legislature of Maryland. A very aiugulur sort of State-rights muu this, to be ■ure. He is *dao accused by Giceley of being v friend to the slave power \V,» tMke it sunie uf uui turners on tho Peninsula could tell a very different tide few** tleit. He i», hua-'evw, ut any rate, deter-' niiiiid to restore the Piii.ui as it Was, and der the cneumstttii.es, uiesiis that he will continue the war if elected. How, then, he can be considered auy bct't-i for our oanojMOS. tluui Pintoln UiutbiTf (whose uiiscrupiilou* tool he was while he com manded the atuiy) we are unable to see One of the means by which the " l'latfoim" pro pose* to restore the I men peaceably is a conven tion ot ull the State* That, we took occasion lately to show, is an impossibility.

It asushnnu a regard for State lights ; and U.e men who adopt it, put upon it, a* their can didate, a general who ordered Uie arrest of h Btate LegisUtuie.

Governor Raymond is a statesman of enlarged comprehension and tho rough expelieiue.

It is so easy to misunderstand v public man whj de-ins to save his country, that 1 was not surprised, to see that article misunderstood on lilt-one hand and nu-iiitci jnet. T on the other. Governor Itaymond will be found, 1 think, on a higher plane and a bolder platform than that winch 1 assumed. Indeed, his aitieTc* in the New York Timet, have been more thoroughly iv favor of peace, on the ground of national unity, than anything 1 have written. And why I tit-cause he has looked..'., i the whole field and has perceived that We, the OtrOUgei party, and tiicioliqucringparty, and the party that is sure to win ill the end, tan utloru to offer ernor ous and magnanimous teiins to the people of the South, who, however erring, aie still our brethren bone of our bone, and tjesh of oui flesh.

We are not fighting a foreign foe. The blood poured out m thi war for liberty mingles with the blood that is poured out, not tor slavery, but lor an ideal Southern in depeudence, and if we can change tins Utter senti i ment into the belief that Southern independence can be liettur maintained in the old Union, whj should not all the issues, Ixccpt that only ot na tional unity, be entrusted to a National Conven tion! Southern independence has already bravely asserted itself ill the field of battle. So, indeed, his Northern independence. Bach has shown its ability to defend itself, and yet the South has been unable to t. St Itself away from the old Union. We may bo independent of everything except (Tod and our Country- Independent ia our counties and in out States, I it not independent of the Constitution 80l of that great indissoluble bond that holds US fer ever together. a* i HOW AM) Will THE YANKEES FAILED fc TAKE PETERSBURO. A Washington letter give* tb* following reason! why Grant tailed to take Petersburg : There is aiithonty which may !»• regarded n u be yond contradiction for the following statement :— Some brief time before the recent attack by mine ami assault, which, it was hoped. Would result in the capture of Petersburg, Major-General li. P. But lt-r was relieved from command of his troops in the field by order of the Secretary of War, und was di ns ted to le-estublish his headquarter* at Portress Monroe. This having been done, a promise 'was gI*WW by General Grant to General "Paldv" Smith, who was about returning home very si, k on a twenty days' fuiloiigh, that on his getting back from such leave of absence, the independent command ol the Eighteenth army oarpa certainly, and probably thato! the Tenth army corps, forming the bulk of the field force* recently under General Puller, should be given to him. General Smith came North, but did not remain his allotted time. He grew better sooner than he expected; find, healing that his pre sence was much needed Before Petersburg, returned at about the end of his tenth days' absence. Calling upon General Grunt, General "Bald," reported lor duty with his own corps, the Eighteenth, and foi such other assignment of troops as General Grant might see iltto make. Upon this, General Ui ant pro duced an order, or letter ot instilotions, from the President for the reinstatement ot. Geiu-i al Butler in the full command fiom which he had been relieved by the Secretary of War, Mr. l.ineoln adding to General Grant substantially as lullows; "Having reinstated General Butler in his formal command, It was Indole, the Secretary of War's late order, will oblige no personally by exciting yourseß void all cause of diff.-u-u,., or irritation with ior-Geneial Butler, at least until after next c/.< - i." It was in this maniiei we ware deprived of tried military skill and experience of General addy" Smith; and the failure of un attack upon ulsburg may, therefore, be looked upon as Lut n ng s,-u,u>T to this last example of Mr Lincoln's ecttonecriwg and engineering otrategy " Gem - Smith's only mistake in the matter wa* tint be * personally angry, allowing inn tvmpci to Ml better of taut, and had an indecorous scene with ieral Grant far the tetter's obedience to the Pte sldelit's iustiu.-tioiis.
