WING stats OonvsntIon,

To day we issue the call of the Wing
Central Committee, for a State Conven.
lion to assemble at Columbus, on The Sd
of July next. The election of a Presi.
dent of the Board of Public Works, by
The people, is imposed by the law, as il
now stands, aud If the new Constitution
Should be adopted, the nomination ofsev
eral other officers will be required. We
shall know before that time whether this
instrument is adopted or rejected, and
the Convention will act accordingly. The
time for the election Of delegates is on
the day when the people will be togeth'
or at the polls To consider the adoption uI
the constitution, and will not require Of
them a separate days service. The plan
of electing delegates in townships aud
wards has not been generally a Iopted,
but their appears to be great propriety
in so doing in this case. We trust that
Wing papers will copy this call. and that
County Central Committees will, at once.
take vigorous steps to get out a full vote
and representation for this occasion. The
plan is simple. Each county knows its
vote by townships. Let the central cum
mittees make the estimate, aud announce
the number of delegates that each town
ship is entitled to. The travelling will
be good on the Sd of July, and the other
attractions that we shall hold out for a
visit To Columbus, at that time, will, we
trust, secure a very full Convention.
Wings of Ohio, look at this Thing at once,
and secure the attendance of your sound
est, ablest, most discrete memo. S.

commentator that these Goods will be made up in the

per cent. cheaper than any other establishment; such

aud the Apache Indians, in which the
former were completely defeated, some
two hundred of lheir best men being Kill.
led on tho field aud losing over three
hundred prisoners. The loss of the In.
diaus was tiiAing. The origin Of the
war is the discovery of rich placers oI
gold and silver in the Apache country,
which the SUnorans attempted to work
but were continually molesied by the In.
diaus-so much so that it was not safe +,
dig unless in Iaage parties. 1t is the

2aches in order tina, they may work the
mines, but the signal defeat they me
with in the late engagement has ralhel
