We attended the convention ir Portsmouth
on Thursday last, and propose to mention sew.
eral matters in connection with our visit The
city squite dull at present, the river being low,
and the dull times causing general depression
in business. On Wednesday evening Caleb B.
Smith spoke from the steps of the BiggsiIopse
to large concourse of people. On Thu y
morning we called upon Mcfarland
Tribune, and found him in fine spirits, and anx-'

We then called upon Mr.. Hood of the Times,
and found him the perfect gentleman he always
is. What a pity it is that Mr.. Hood is a Dem

gentlemen whom we intend to support
