The Baltimore Convention.'
BLOODY VIEWS OF REV. H0J1T. J. BRECKINRIDGE.'
The temporary organization of the Black
Kcpublican Convention, which recently met
in Baltimore, was cltcctcd by calling llev. 11.
J. lJrcckiniidgc, of Kentucky, to the chair.
After being conducted thither by Northern
hands, he addressed the Convention. The following
extracts from his speech will show its
tenor: i
"Dreadful as tlwy arc, these fearful truths
rnii through the whole history of mankind, that
whatever else may be done to give stability to
an authority?whatever else may be done to
give perpetuity to institutions, however wise,*
however glorious?and whatever 11103- l)C ^1C
philosophy of it, it has been found that the 011- 1
ly imperishable cement of all institutions lias j
hecn the blood of traitors.

not built on traitors' blood. It ffeta fearful j
truth, but we had as w.eW* avow iWR, onto.? I
Every blow you strike, and every rebel you kill, j
ami every battle you win, reluctant as wc are i
to do it, is adding a decade, it may be a con- j
tury, it may be ton centuries, to the perpetuity j
of our iJovernnient, and the freedom, of your'
cliili? ticn.*' ' [
Tie is now fully entitled to tlie honor, or the j
infamy, as the ease may he, of hein^tho staun- i
chest traitor to his country south of- the Ohio. ;
In the I'nltiinore Nominating Convention i
there were three or four negroes leprcseulinjj ;

Yankee Sharp Shooting.?The Mobile Rc<:*
islcr says :
As time wears on wo see that the Yankee
approximates the Southern soldier in fighting
qualities, is more easily managed, ami therefore
more efficient, considered as a part of that
great machine, an army. ]>ut, what is most
. remarkable, the Yankee is liow a better shot
than the Southerner, born, as it were, with a
rifle in his hands. How is this miracle wrought?
Easily enough. A sand bag is placed in a
tripod, and on the bag a gun laid. The raw
Yankee is brought up to this gun and made to
snap caps until he can do so without winking.
Next he fires blank cartridges until he stops
flinching ainj shutting his eyes. When he is
no longer afraid of a gun, he is taught to take
aim anil fire from a lest, and ther. off hand.?
After this comes the important business of
.teaching- how to fire at long range.. This is
done by placing a number of men at intervals
ol tittv vartls until tlic extreme range .of modern
weapons is attained. The recruit is made
to examine each of these men careful tv, to ascertain
liv tin: visibility oi' cerWiin aoeoutrcv
incuts and the form of the hotly'what can and
Vvhut cannot he seen at certain distances/ 'lie
soon learns to elevate his sights in accordance
with the greater or less clearness el' certain objects,
andean tell with wonderful accuracy the
distance of these ?Vbjects. Our men are never
trained in this manner, and although they can
bark ;* squirrel or kill a doer running, a hundred
va ids oil', with the old-fashioned", rille,
"the y arc no match for the Yankee sharp shoots'rf
skilled in the use of the Ktilicld t itle.. And
hJ?re is tlie secret of the death of so many of
tViir ofticers.
(ion. Lee's congratulatory order to (Jen. Anderson
is the highest complimenl ever paid to
tlie gallantry of troops. J.very soldier in I'iek
ct's IJivision deserves a medal with the inserip,
tion : "Wo tried very hard to stop Pickett's
men l*on% capturing the breastworks of tlic
enemy, but could not do it."
R. 10. Jj 1010, General.
' The Richmond Whit/ says :
Extraordinary Gallantry.?When Gen.
Lofe's congratulatory order to Gen. Anderson
was handed to us for publication, wo declined
, to insert it. It was so unlike tlxj General's
style that we doubted its genuineness. But,
for once, "Marse Robert" seems to liavo been I
ovcrcomo by the extraordinary performance of
his men. That an army "straggling to the
front," contrary to orders, should spontaneously
form a line of battle and drive the enemy from
breastworks of the most formidable, character,
is certainly a most extraordinary thing. The
annals of warfare furnish no parallel. The exploit
was so very unique and so unexpected,
that. it. had in it all the element <-?!' an imnmiicrt
joke, and us such it upset Gen. Lee and floored
iiiiu completely. We should like to have seen
his face when lie sat down to write the despatch
to Gen. Anderson. We douht if the risible
muscles were very quiet. Anderson and Pickett
and all their hoys must have grown .two
inches taller after they read it.
"Noise or the 1 Jaiti.e A fa it Off."?Our
attention was called yesterday at noon, to a noise
as of distant cannonading. It consisted of
very rapid "thuds," frequently so rapid as to
run, into each other. At our request, the telegraph
operator inquired of Atlanta whether
cannonading was in progress, and was told
that there wqs heavy iiring, and evidently
"something had turned up" in the front. The
distance on a right liuo is about ninety two
miles.?Macon Con fed en te.
