Red-Land District to the subjoined proceedings
of the Wings Of Amherst. 1t will be seen that
they recommend the holding of the Coneresson-
al Convention at Charlottesville on the second
1hmSRay IN February instead of the 18th Jan
uary, as has been suggested by writer in the
Nrglnian. II is to be hoped the other counties
OF the District will promptly respond TO the sug-
gestions ofhe Amherst meeting, by appointing
delegates TO the Convention, at their first Courts

learn that our Amherst friends are fully awake to
the importance of the work before them. and that
they mean TO do their whole duty in the coming
struggle and if the Wings OF the other counties
