full preparation, and customary, victory viii be our
reward. They will fight desperately; but against
organized legions with truth and Justice on our
side, they never prevail Let beware of dis

course of his memorial he states that these works en-

dwelling houses and created demand for ~ more.
They produce 40 of rails a day. and increas-

will require 67l tons Of coal and ga Of pig iron, and
will furnish 200 tons of freight daily, 10000

this the State will derive transit duties and divi-

about fifth of the whole prof; the transport

The MAILs.-We have about given up the idea of
receiving any mails from any quarter. Some
once OF twice week struggling sack finds its way
into town, and that is about all. We can hardly
think the roads SC bad to much and con-
tnued failures No doubt there are other causes and
think they should be inquired into. As the mails
are now, we had much better have none, and then
other arrangements might be made. We are inclined
10 think that the contracts have all been taken too low
and greater speed required than be made in the
west Regularity is of as great importance speed

n NOMINATION DELEGATES BY DIsrRIcTs.-The
Democrats IN Ohio have resolved that each Congress
Ional District shall nominate its own delegate to the
National Presidential Convention and that the State
convention shall nominate the two delegates for the
State at large and give such instructions to the dele
gates as would enable them to express the views OF
the State In the National Convention. 1t is proposed

the views of our friends through the State the sub

press generally present the question to their readers

For one, We are decidedly in favor of the measure
proposed. We think it requires argument to con.

have learned the views of influential democrats they
are favorable. We hope the subject will not be lost
sight of by the several Congressional District Conven
tons.

Army Matters.

II is pretty well determined that the next
movement Of our army viii be against Vera Cruz,
aided by the Gulf fleet under Com. Conner. Gen
Scott expects TO take that city and its famous castle by
the first of March. Gen. Worth Will lead The adv. e
column The point Of rendezvous will be the Island
of Lobos, about midway between Tampico aud Vera
Cruz. The main body Of our army will be taken TO
Lobos by water, embarking from BRACES. Gen. Tay-
Tor is about 10 return home furlough. Gen. Wool
has become obnoxious 10 his entire command that
nearly all the officers IN his staff have resigned and
mos. of the regiments have requested 10 be withdrawn
