The Coon DELEeATIoE.-The great
agony is over; and the whiggies of Old
Pike, after weeks of incessant and un-
firing exertion, succeeded in drum ming
up about thirty of the ~'Jaahtu!," TO at
tend the great Coon Convention at Ham
nibal. The number would probably
have been somewhat larger, but for the
late news from Ohio, which reached
here the day before that fixed upon for
the delegation to take up their line Of
march-it struck dismany into their
ranks wherever it penetrated; and it evil
IDENTIFY served as a sufficient hint to the
more knowing ones, to keep a little cool,
and not burst their boilers in a race
where the odds was so clearly against
them. The dolorous co~untenances of
the wings about town as well as the
entire absence of that spirit and enthusi-
asm among the degates, which usually
characterize similar party movements.
particularly in times like the present,
clearly indicated the fact: that they be-
gin 10 dispair of electing old Hal this
hitch. After the company were all
mounted, we waited on the street for
some lenght of time, expecting to hear
a grand three times three, for Hairy Of
the West"-but it it was no go.-one,
n only faint who-ror for the great cap
tain ofthe universal coon party, went up
from that band of patriots, and that was
prudently deferred, until the immense
cavslcade had reached the outskirts Of
the town. But the cream of the whole
affair is yet TO come: A coon-a nOta-
bic coon, about town-was expected 10
accompany the delegation, but when
called upon on Thursday morning, his
coonship very respectfully declined the
hOnor-and on being urgently solicited
by sundry of the delegation, to join them,
he again begged to be excused, declar-
ing his determination to henceforward
withhold his countenance and support
from his Ashland friend, on account Of
his vassilating course upon the Texas
question-he had written four letter,
forth his views upon that ques-
tion, and still the people were in doubt.
1t is proper to state, that during his COON
s~ojourn in u village, much ofhis
time Las been spent about the post Of
fee, where he has probably been favor
ed with the ferusal of newspapers and
speeches, wherein the double
of his ancient frs1d ofthe Slash
60, was shwon up in such a Ecanner as
10 carry conviction to the mind Of any
coon. In no other way can we
for this important remuneration.

E"Here is the soliloqny OF a fellow
whs has been striving for the last six
months, TO engrafl into the minds OF the
people Of this county, the belief that he
is a Texas hero and patriot. The fol-
lowing is an example of the style in
which he "blows his own trumpet"
He is a very modest man, as his readers
have doubtless long since learned. Hear
him
"On the 18th of August, 1910, we
fought in the battle of Plum creek, by
the side of Felix Huston, then acting as
major-eeneral Of the army of Te1asl
To the truth Of this we defy ally man TO
deny"
Well now We don't believe there is a
man in Pike county, VI anywhere else,
who cares two straws whether the fei-
low fought at plumb Creek" or, which
is more profile, gave an example of tall
walking on that occasion. He challen-
ges any contradiction Of the truth OF this
account of his "deeds Of valor" on
Plumb Creek, and from this, we inter
that he entertains doubts, as well he
may, of successfully working hilnselfnp
to that notch in the scale of greatness"
that would entille him TO the appela,ion
o~f-"hero."
TMessrs. O'Rear aud Broadhead
having Withdrawn, the contest for Cir
cult Attorney is now between George
w. Buckner, OF this county, and John
Scott, of Montgomery. The effort OF
the friends of Mr.. Scott, TO raise a party
question in the contest, is certainly to
be condemned. The candidates should
be voted for upon other considerations
and we are glad 10 discover a disposition
with both parties here, to concentrate
upon Mr.. Buckner, as he is a resident e
this county. As to the charge OF fraud.
against the friends Of Scott, by the
friends Of Broadhead we have nothing
TO say, as il is a matter betw cen those
gentlemen.
We were shown a letter this morn
ing, from Rails county, written by a
strong whig, i'll which it was stated that
Buckner was evidently the f~avorite in
that county.

The SUSPICIOUS VESSEL CApTUREp.-We learn
from Captain Bremen, of the schooner Sheppard,
which arrived last night from Key West, that two
days previous to his sailing some wreckers brought
into that port the pilot boat Lafayette, manned by
runaway negroes, who had stolen it at the Balize
with the intention of escaping to Jamaica, but had
got ashore on the Tortugas, where they were fallen
IN with and captured by the wreckers The name
OF the vessel had been disguised by the negroes so
as to aid them in their escape. We have no doubt
this is the " suspicious vessel" mentioned by the
southern papers as having been met with by the
sloop Julia Ann, on the 29lh ult between Antelote
and Sea-Horse Key

than at any time for ten years. More marriages
are being consumated than tor any previous three
years together. Seven marriages few Sunday
evenings since. The churches are open almost
every day for the performance upon some happy
couple. Such an array of beauty as saw in ST
Paul's chapel does not often fall to the lot of man
to behold. Nearly one thousand of the quality

my mind that infants had best remain at home on
such occasions, their crying was premature.
have been struck with observing the fact that very
few young men of the town guests at the par
ties, and have been informed as the reason, that
the young ladies' invariably give preference to
strangers, or those spending short time here for
education, and that disappointment has left scores
