Iy after the Occurrences: On Febru-
ary 10, 1858, the column under Gen.
Frank, in the South OF Oude, was
engaged with Q rebel force at the
villageo Chanda, and several pris-
oners we're taken; one OF them Sc
poy Of the Bengal army was brought
before the authorities for examina-
tlon, and l being present had an op-
portunity OF watching from the COM
mencement the fact | am about to
record. Divested OF his uniform,
and stripped completely naked, he
was surrounded by the soldiers, and
then first apparently became alive to
the dangers of his position; he trem.
bled violently, intense horror aud
despair were depicted in his counte-
nance, and, although he answered
the questions addressed to him, he
seemed almost stupefed with fear;
while under observation, within the
space OF half an hour, his hair be
came grey on every portion Of his
head, it having been, when first seen
by US, the glossy jet black OF the
Bengalee, aged about twcnty-four.
The attention OF the bystanders was
first attracted by the Sergeant, whose
prisoner he was, exclaiming, ole is
turning grey" and |, with several
other persons, watched its progress
Gradually, but decidedly, the chsnge
went on, and uniform greyish color
was completed within tho period
above named.

The Republican State Convention,

The Republican State Convention
convened in Columbus, on Thursday
last, was one Of the largest Assem-,
blagcs Of the kind held for years
The greatest possible interest was
manifested in the proceedings, and a
hearty and indeed enthusiastic en-
dorsement Of the ticket and platform
adopted.
Considerable feeling was cvincet
in regardto candidate for Suprom,
Judge. Judge Swan had rendered
himself somewhat obnoxious to TIT
more ardent anti.slavery men, by bic
late decision in regard to the rescue
prisoners; and the claims Of others
Tor THE office were therefore pressed
with tho gre ater earnestness. All,
however, showed disposition to nc'
quiesce in the nomination of Judge
Swan, or any other competent per.
son. There were quite number oil
candidates for most Of the other Of
fees, which prolonged the ballotings
till eight o'clock at night; yet, after
all the candidates were put in nom
ination, the large crowd in attend.
auce persisted in calling out the
prominent speakers, so that an ad-
| inurnment was not effected until ae
late as ten o'clock. Tom Oorwin,
Joshua r. Giddings, William Den
hison, (,he candidate for Governor,
DR.. Kirk, Candidate for Lieutenant
GovernorO and d. X. Carter, all de-
livered animated speeches. The
audience then retired to the State
House yard, where the speaking
was continued by Corwin and Stan
ton until after twelve o'clock.
We have never witnessed moro
earnestness and enthusiasm in The
proceedings Of any former Conven
ton.

The Hsdse IS Of Catching Negroes.

The Democracy, in their State
Convention. resolved in favor of the
present Fugitive Slave Law without
amendment or modification. So en-.
tirely has catching fugitive slaves
become the business Of the party,
and 80 much does their penchant for
this pursuit exalt them 10 the eyes Of
slave drivers, that tho repeal Of this
obnoxious law would be a death
blow to their prospects Of riding in
to office on the shoulders OF slave
holders. This Democratic C) law
makes it the duty Of every citizen to
turn out and help to catch negroes
when called upon to do so by the
pensioned tools Of pro.slavery ad'
ministration.

the following interesting intelligence
The news is Of great importance,

SECOND DIsPATcH.-There are two
towns OF Montebello in Italy as de-
scribed in the gazetteers. The dis

the one at which the battle took

fonded by two castles. The other is
a village, twenty.three miles East
North East OF Aiisssandria, where
the Austrians were defeated by the
French in 1900.
1t will be seen that the posts were
occupied by Marshal D'IIilliers, of
the French army. BY the previous
accounts, this General was posted on
the main road from Novi to Genoa.

PUBLIC LECTURES.

Soon after the organization, il wac
thought necessary to enlist the sym
pathies and cooperation OF the whole
Christian community. To this end
a meeting was called in the Presby-
terian church, and, together with re-
ligious exercises, in which the con-
gregation participated, the objects o'
the Association were stated to be,
mainly. these: let. Tho personal
improvement ofits members; Cd Tt
secure the active cooperation Of the
laity OF the Church in Christi an labor
Sd. To throw around the irreligiou'
youth a moral and religious infu
euce. The large number who cam
to tnat meeting, through inclemen
weather, indicate; clearly, the deel
interest felt, by all good people, il
The enterprise. Our hearts wer
cheered and our hands strengtbene'
by their presence.
An invitation was. given to Rev
l.. 3. Gurley to preach sermo
before the Association, in the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. This ia
vitsstion was accepted, and he dis
coursed 10 a very large audience o
the temptations which meet youn
