is reduced to a certainty that the cause SC
ably advocated by Gen. Foote, has been

seventy delegates have been elected to the
Convention on the Union ticket. As far as
heard from, there are only seven Disunion

thought by competent judges, that the popu-
lar majority will not be less than $1,000 or
