The Lynchburg Convention.

the Prince George District in the State

In further confirmation OF this view,

lican'is right when it says that this no
mination is an exceedingly fortunate one,
as Mr.. Daniel is unquestionably the man
for the time. and will, we doubt not, re.
ceive the undivided support of the De-
mOcracy of the section. We therefore
throw our banner TO the breeze in full
confidence of victory. calling upon all

limits forbid further notice of the no.

Burning of thc Iudependene,.

The steamer Independence was lost on
the 18th of FEBRUARY. having been run
ashore on the shoals off Margaretta Island.
There were 500 passengers on board at
the time. all of whom leaped into the sea,
and of whom $50 were lost in their efforts
to swim ashore. .- 5t.#
Margaretta Island is upon the coast OF
Lower California. FL" .aa
After striking, the Independence back
ed off, but finding 8 feet waterin the hold,
Captain Samson ordered the Pilot to run
her on the beach, three hundred yards
from the main land. There the ship took
hire from the intense heat of the furnace,
and the flames spreading rapidly, created
the most frightful CONSERVATION among the
passengers. A heavy sea was running at
the time. and all the boats were swamped
in trying 10 get ashore. To add to the
horrors of the scene, the FIRE reached tho
powder magazine, which exploded with
terrific force. shattering the stern of the
steamer into fragments. and blowing MANY
passengers into the air others jumped
into the sea and were carried off by the
strong current sweeping from the shore.
Many who had previously reached the
shore were unable to render the sufferers
any assistance, and were obliged to remain
passive spectators. while hundreds of men
women and children were persisted by
the FIRE and sea. The ship finally swung
around, with her boardside to the shore
where her coal took fire, and she was en-
tirely destroyed. The passengers sayet
found themselves on barren and unin
habited islands, without food or water
where they remained Sc hours, in STATE
OF intense suffering. Finally, by firing
cannon, they were able 70 attract III,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Democratic Candidate for the
Board of Public Works.

The convention which met at Winches-
ter on the 28th ultimo, to nominate De-
mocratic candidate for Commissioner of
the Board OF Public Works, for the Sd
district, nominated EDWARD J. ARMSTRONG,
Esq. of Taylor.
We have not yet received the official
proceedings of the convention. but are in
formed that some 80 ballots were had
without making choice. when Mr. Arm
strong's name was introduced. 1t was
hailed with JOY. and he received more
than two-thirds Of the votes cast in the
Convention, upon the first ballot.
The selection OF Mr.. Armstrong as our
candidate for this office, while it is pecu-
liarly gratifying to the Northwest. is one
which will command the united support
of the party throughout the district. He
is one of the most intelligent and respec-
ted citizens of our neighboring county of
Taylor, who, though preferrins to follow
his business as merchant. to becoming
embroiled in politics. has closely watched
the course of the improvement party of
the State, and is thoroughly conversant
with the intricacies of that department of
the government. -r.
Before Taylor was stricken from Har-
rison. Mr.. Armstrong served several ses-
sions in the Legislature from this county,
and always. we believe. to the perfect sa-
tisfaction of his constituents. He was a
member of the late convention to reform
the Constitution, and was prominently
urged to become candidate for Congress
at the present election, but declined. We
are not aware that he ever urged any
claims for the Office to which he has
been nominated, and we thus find our
selves with a candidate whom the Office
has sought, rather than with one who has
sought the office.
We congratulate the Democracy of the
Third District, upon the happy result OF
the labors of the Convention With Mr..
Armstrong as our candidate. we can go
forth conquering and to conquer. He is
one of those gentlemen whom it is plea
sure to support, knowing that while he
possesses eminent qualifications for the
office. he will not be unmindful of those
to whom alone he can ever look for sup
port and maintenance in the high position
he has been called upon to assume.

FoREIeN ITEMs.-We find the following
interesting items in the latest foreiga
news: ~.
The London police searched Kossuth's
house on the morning of the 18th. and
large stores of arms and ammunition were
found.
II is stated that the recent arrests in
Prussia were in consequence of informa-
tion furnished BY the London police. who
placed spies around the houses of The re-
tugces. In the House of Commons, on
Friday. Sir j. Walmsley asked the Go.
yernment if these statements were true.
and if the British Government had
given assurances TO foreign powers that
the refugees should be put under suryeil-
lance.
Lord Palmerston replied thar war
rant was issued 10 search house ~
Rotheshire, not occupied by Kossuth, in
which were large quantity OF rockets.
shells and gunpowder, but no assurance
had been given to foreign powers. exccp-
ting that the refugees would not be al
lowed to abuse the hospitality of Eng
land.
Mr.. Duncolmbe said that these mum.
lions were found in rocket factory, and
were for sale.
Mr., Bright asked Mr.. PalmerstoDe il
Kossuth had really any connexion with
the munitions.
Lord Palmers,on replied that he did
not know-he would cast no imputations
on Kossuth. It.would be the subject Of
future enquiry.
Lord Stuart charged the government
with getting up a false charge against
Kossulh. The subject was then drop

a Corn Shelter and Grinder or two (but only two

Present,) would be the best because it would be
torn, but water power might be cheaper if good
location could be had near enough. Among the
advantages mightbe named, 1st. a saving ofirom
two to four days on every load of grain, because
the grain would be brought TO the mill when we
come in town to do other business, and taken
back when we go home, or if not, we could leave
it until we come 10 town again. I'd. Il would be
a safe and profitable investment. Sd a saving OF
