The Wits State Convention, held at
Woodstock, on thu 25'h, Disappointed the

anticipated any other than mcagcr gather
ing of the Wings Of the State ia this busy
season Of the var. But it was. IN ruth a
RALLY worthy OF the cause, worthy of Il e
party, worthy of the State. The picked
men Of the Wig Party of the State were
there, and there, too, in numbers that ex.
ceeded the most sangnine expectatIons.-
The proceedings Of the Convention were
characterized with the utmost harmony and
good feelings The Sih Resolution, anprov-
ing the nomination, was adopted BY the unan
imous rising Of the convention, and we have
every reason to believe that the ticket for
State officers will be most cordially received
by the Wing freemen Of The State, and that
1t will receive support worthy of the cause
and worthy of Tie men. The Resolution,
are of the right stamp and were adopted by
acclimation.
Windsor County would have teen clad lC
have had the nomination for Governor fa
upon citizen of her own county but the
great body ofh delegates of the convention
were in favor of Dr.. Eaton, and he was ac.
cordlngly nominated. No county in the Stat,

MEXICAN MoDE OF Recruiting THE Ar
MY.-You can fancy nothing more odd than
the manner in which the army is recruited.
A number Of men are perhaps wanted to
complete new company,and a sergeant and
his guard is forthwith despatched to inspect
the ncighborng Indians and mezlizoes.-
The subal,ern finds dozen or more at work
in the fields and even without the formality
of request, Immediately picks his men and
orders them into the ranks. If they attempt
TO escape or resist, they are AT once ldSSocd;
and at nghllall the whole gang is marched,
tied in pairs, INTO the quartet of the village,
or the guard room of the palace, with long
lngubrious procession of wives and children,
weeping and bowling for the loss OF their
martial mates. Next day the "volunteers"
are handed over to the drill sergeant and
have often laughed most heartily at the sim
guar group presented by these new caught
soldiers, on their first parade under their
military tutor. One half the number are
always Indians, and the rest, most likely, lie.
