OyE PolxT OF USIoN.-The Charleston Cou-
rier reports one point CT perfect agreement
among the delegates to the Convention:
a delegate" or delegation" is a sufficient
introduction to the public rooms or quarters of
any one Of the delegations, and the sprig of
mint tasteiully arranged in a liquid bouquet
has been recognized AS all olive branch BY the
Representatives from Maine and California, and
all the States scattered about between these
geographical extremes. The South furnishes
the thirst provoking weather and the North
furnishes the ice, and then Cincinnati gives
the platform and the corn cordial" and Cuba
gives the sugar, and Africa is frequently repre-
scented in the Ganymede who mixes and Stirs
the cup, and thus all lind at least one point
and principle of union and confederation.

The Norfolk Day Book" says: The grand

We insert in another column 4 communlca-
t;on from IA Soldier, believing the SUBJECT
to bs one worthy of consideration. For the nc,
costly of drill and experience to make efilc''"'
troops no one can doubt andit is equaiiy .'"'
tina. many Of our volunteers are dene'e'' IL
this essential instruction.
!, onr volunteers can be gotten toSether
Will, bnt little expense, and enter into Il test
for all those qualifications which constitute
onic;,,cv To be decided by q competent board,
,,ro,t wood will be done. Of course, "a Sol
dior" only throws out some general ideas, which,
# accented, can hc put into detail 10y q board
of orr officers, 10 he appointed for that pur-
pose.
+. may be said that country troops cannot be
expected to be equal in drill with those OF the
city, because the latter can meet for drill every
day or night, while in the country the distance
of the members from their place 0. meeting
is too great for such constant attendance ms
can be cqualizcd by testing country company
against country company, ard city company
against city company, if those interested pre-
fer; and thus a series Of trials will give all
corps a fair opportunity TO test them merits
But we ask attention to the subject.

GEN. WALKER IN AN AFFAIR or HoNoR.-
a correspondence is published in the New Or
leans True Delta, explanatory of an affair which
nearly occurred between Col. S.. A. Lockridge
and Gen. VIM. Walker. Col. Lockridgc met
Gen. Walker on the street and denounced his
late book on Nicaragua as totally false so far
as related 10 the former; Informing him, also,
that he should hold him responsible therefor
at an carly day; to which Walker answered,
''When you please, sir" Col. Lockridgc then
sent Il note by his friend, K, II. Purdon, which
note, it appears, was Withdrawn for cxplana-
ton. In answer to another note, Gen. Walker
replied that in his book he did hot intend to
iinpusn the honor or courage Of Colonel Lock
ridge" and so the affair ended without an APP
peal to pistols.
