"Vn reports from General Sherman have been received. The Sew Pennsylvania Reserve Corps.

HARRISBURG, Aug. 30. Commissary-General Irwin and Quartermas-er-General Reynolds have just re-urned from Washington City, whither hey had gone to consult the Secre-ary of War in reference to the equip-nent, subsistence, arming and trans-orting the fifteen to constitute the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, the organization of which has lust been authorized by an act of Assembly. It is understood that a full arrangement has been made with the War Department to furnish these troops with the necessary supplies. By this arrangement the State will not be compelled to enter the market as a competitor with the War Department, a fact alone which will be a great saving to the State Government, as the War Department will furnish all these troops need at the lowest contract prices paid for the supplies of the United States army; at the same time it will not be necessary for the State to disburse any money to the Federal Government, as there is now more than a million of dollars due from the latter to the former.

The details of the organization of the entire Reserve Corps are to be intrusted to Colonel Lemuel Todd, an officer of great experience, who has been appointed inspector-general of the corps. The necessary force to constitute five regiments, as soon as recruited, will be rendezvoused at Harrisburg, where they will be organized, armed and equipped, and then ordered to different localities along the border; their quarters in these localities are to be of the very best character; wooden huts of ample dimensions, and such accommodations as soldiers in camp can expect. The remaining ten regiments will be filled up and organized so as to render them ready for use at the shortest possible notice. For the present it is only deemed necessary to organize five regiments, which will be mustered into the State service for three years, to remain during that time on the border of the State, or to do duty at such points within its limits as the exigency of future danger may render necessary. It is the object of Governor Curtln to render this corps not only a credit to the military resources of the Keystone State, but a bulwark of defense against future invasion.

Speech of General Bnrnslde. CENTRE HARBOR, N. Aug. 30. General Burnside arrived last night at this place, from the White Mountains, on his way to resume his command.

His arrival speedily becoming known, a large number of citizens and neighbors assembled andi Belknap's Cornet Band serenaded the general, who responded as follows: My friends: It will not be amiss for me to say that I have the fullest confidence in the ability of the government to crush out this wicked rebellion. I refer to this because I have lately witnessed despondency, and been surprised at it. I have heard more grumbling at the North in three days than I have heard in one campaign from the Rapidan to Petersburg. The people seem to think our armies are wearing out without any corresponding exhaustion to the enemy. This is a mistake.

Our resources in the field are greater than his. We have three times his resources untouched, and can lose far more than the South and still break down the Rebellion. The Chicagro Convention Resolutions Adopted by the Convention. Debate on the Platform. CHICAGO.

111., Aug. 30. General McClellan was unanimously nominated, amid much applause. The resolutions are for a suspension of hostilities until peace can be had on the basis of the Constitution and the Union, and were adopted with much enthusiasm. CHICAGO, Aug.

23. One of the most remarkable scenes took place in the convention ever witnessed. It met at 4 P. M. The platform was adopted with unanimity and enthusiasm.

Pierce had been named for President, and withdrawn. Powell, of Kentucky, ditto. Seymour, of New Tork, ditto. General McClellan was named and indorsed by a half dozen States, and, amid the applause that greeted the proceeding, it was believed he was unanimously nominated, when Harris, of Maryland, got the floor to nominate Seymour, of Connecticut, and proceeded to assail McClellan for his arrest of the Maryland Legislature. He denounced him as a tyrant and usurper, and amid one continued series of interruptions poured out his invectives, and before he concluded apparently had one-half the convention with him.

He was loudly cheered, but declaring he would not ask his people to vote for McClellan, he was called to order, and in proceeding to his seat he was called a traitor by one of the New Tork delegation, when he promptly knocked him down.

GOTHAM'S SMALL CYCLONE Thousands of Dollars Damage to Property. Special to The Inquirer. NEW TORK, Sept.

1. A terrific wind storm, accompanied by a heavy downpour of rain, swept over the city last evening. The storm lasted fully thirty-five minutes and extended throughout Jersey City, Brooklyn, Long Island and neighboring towns, causing many thousands of dollars loss to property. No loss of life is reported within the city, though many buildings suffered. A three-story factory, on West Sixty fourth street, lost its roof, causing $5000 damage.

The sixth story of an unfinished storage warehouse, at Third avenue and Fiftyninth street, was demolished, causing a loss of $2000. A house adjoining had its roof crushed by the falling walls. Minor casuallties were numerous. The Vtorm struck the southern portion of the city with such suddenness that many people riding in the elevated trains were drenched with rain before the windows in the cars could be put down. Elevated trains were slightly delayed as the engineers feared a collision, the darkness caused by the downpour was so great.

Special to The Inquirer. NEW TORK, Sept. 1. Some surprise has been caused by an extremely suggestive scene in the "Sporting Duchess," which enjoyed its first production here last night. Some of the spectators pronounced it far too realistic and the women said they were shocked.

The villain finds himself alone in a room with the hero's wife and makes desperate love to her, urging her to secure a divorce and marry him. When scorned he informs her that she Is there as his wife and demands "Love for love and kiss for kiss." Then there is a painfully silent struggle between the pair, which lasts ten minutes while the audience holds its breath. The exhausted woman is fi-ally flung upon a couch when her husband forces the door and she escapes. Charles Frohman insists that there is nothing bad in the scene and cites the fact that the Prince of Wales applauded it in proof of his statement. NEWS OF SUNDAW General.

GENERAL GRANT'S ARMY The Bnttle nt Renm' StationColonel Spear's Brilliant Churge-Middle Military Division. From The Inquirer of Wednesday, Aug. 31, 1864. BALTIMORE.

Aug. 30. The American has received the following: HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE MILITARY DIVISION, Aug. 30. The position of our army since my letter of yesterday remains unchanged.

There was a very spirited cavalry fight yesterday at Smithfield. or, as it is sometimes called. Middleway, about seven miles from Charlestown, which proved that the enemy had not yet retreated up the valley. General Custer's brigade of cavalry, with Captain Ransom's battery of artillery, were moved across the Opequan, about a mile beyond Smithfield, for the purpose of making a towards Bunker's Hill. They had proceeded about a mile "when they came on the enemy's skirmish line.

A portion of Custer's command were dismounted and sent in to engage them. The skirmishing lasted until 11 o'clock, when Custer was obliged to retire across the Opequan, where he -was re-enforced by De Cesnola and Gibbs brigades of cavalry, and the skirmishing was. renewed with increased vigor. The enemy now sent two brigades infantry across the Opequan, with the view of outflanking us and cutting off our retreat on Smithfield. In this they were foiled, for General Merritt discovered their intention and retired on Smithfield before they could accomplish their designs.

Heavy skirmishing was kept up all the time we were retreating, and we inflicted considerable loss on the enemy, as our men took advantage of every commanding position and from behind every cover to pick oft their advancing line. In the meantime, General Sheridan had ordered Rick-etts' division of infantry, of the Sixth Corps, to proceed towards Smithfield and support the cavalry. The infantry reached a point about a mile this side of Smithfield at 5 o'clock P. where they formed a Junction with the cavalry, who had gradually fallen back to that place, contesting every inch of the ground. The two forces united now assumed the defensive, and General Ricketts deployed one brigade of his command as skirmishers, and sent them in advance of our cavalry.

As soon as the enemy discovered that they had infantry to contend with they rapidly withdrew, crossing the Opequan at about 0 o'clock. Our forces pushed them very closely and captured some prisoners. Our whole loss in the affair, including killed and wounded, will not exceed one hundred, while that of the enemy must have been much greater, as we had the advantage of position. Amongst the killed is Dr. Rullson, medical director of General Torbet's staff.

Froa the Army of the Potomac. WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. A letter from the Army of the Potomac, dated August 28, evening, says: To-day not a gun was fired from daylight to dark, and up to this hour, 9 P. there have been very few reports.

It was the most quiet day we have had for four weeks. Our loss in Thursday's fight is ascertained to be about two thousand men in the Aggregate, and nine guns four of Brovn's Rhode Island, four of Sleeper's Missachusetts and one of. McKnight's Battery of Light Artillery. The statement is made, by request, that it was the One-hundred-and-seventh Pennsylvania Veteran Kegiment, Volunteer Infantry, instead of the One-hundred-and-fourth New Tork, as reported in some of the newspapers, which captured the battle-flag of the Eighteenth North Carolina, in the fight of the 19th and that the party who made the "prize was the color-bearer of the regiment. Private Huttenstein, of Company C.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 28. The following additional particulars of the great fight on the Weldon Railroad are from an eye-witness: The fight was commenced on Thursday by Colonel S. R. Speaa-, Eleventh Pennsylvania Cavalry, by making a dashing charge on the rebel advance.

The rebels in turn charged him. Then both forces drew off for a final charge. But no sooner had they made their movement known than Colonel Spear, who was waiting their advance, gave the order for a counter-charge, and with a yell both forces met, but our troops were too much for the rebels, and, charging upon their flank, we broke their lines and captured three hundred prisoners. Our cavalry now fell back to give Hancock's guns a chance. On came the enemy, fully confident, apparently, of capturing Hancock's position, which lay along the railroad, and was occupied by two divisions of the Second Corps, with twenty guns in position.

They came rapidly onward, charging up close to our works, but they now met a reception which proved most bloody to them, and they fell back to try it again and again, only to meet the same bloody welcome, Hancock's gallant troops received four successive charges from the enemy, but each time suicessfully repulsed them with fearlul slaughter. General Hancock now opened his centre with the view of trapping his eager foes, but in his hurry to receive them properly was made to bring eight of his guns to the rear, and they thus accidentally fell into his possession. Now the rebels came rushing up, supposing that we were retreating, but they soon found their mistake by discovering Hancock's forces on their flanks. The entire rebel, force now broke and ran, our troops following them up and slaughtering them fearfully, and thus, ended one of the best executed fights around Petersburg. With only two divisions General Hancock not only held his position, but whipped the rebels badly, as the number of their dead lying on the field clearly proves.

Our burying parties estimated the number of their dead at three-thousand. Attempt to Destroy General Sherman's Communication Rebel Raid by the Guerrillas I'nder Wheeler. nASHVILLE, Aug. 3. Governor Johnson has received a dispatch, signed L.

N. Patton, the colonel commanding, dated at Gallatin to-day, stating that lews from Lebanon had been ireceive there, up to 8.30 o'clock this morning, when General Milligan was in the hands of the enemy, under Wheeler. The college building was surrounded, with all the troops in it. ANOTHER DISPATCH. NASHVILLE, Aug.

30. Great excitement prevailed at Nashville today, in consequence of a rumor that an attack was to be made by General Vheeler's cavalry force. It is rumored that his force amounts to six thousand or 'eight thousand men, with twelve guns. When last heard from they were near McMinnville, advancing toward Murfreesboro. It 1 probable that their intention is LETTER CARRIERS FROM ALL.
