DEFINING HIS PosITIoN.-The editor
The Ringold (Ga) Fapress, thus pilhily
sets forth his views and relations in regard
to the Charleston Convention;
If Stevens, Cobb, Hunter, Wise, or any
prominent man whose record has identified
him with the interests of the South, should
be chosen as the standard bearer. of De.
mocracy, We expect to support him with
all the zeal of "scaly bark" Democrat
If Douglas should be nominee, with nc
matter how good platform, we cannot
anG Swill not; support him, under any set Of
circum, .ances.
Douplas will go into the Convention
with more votes than any other man, and
enough to prevent he nomination of any
other man. If these fl. ends are firm and
true, it will therefore be I'c'ugias or no
body. His opponents however, viii DC
strong enough, at first, to prevent h. 5 nom
nation. And We hope they may conf nue. I,
so, but we greatly fear they will not. Ii
they hold out, compromise may be effect
ted, by which some man never before heard
of outside of the county of his residence,
will be brought forth, and a hundred thou
sand wool hats will be waved aloft, and
hundred thousand "Dimmicrats" will make
the welkin ring with their huzzas, while
from Maine to California the hills send
back the echo, "Hooray for Dalin and
Mcfagan." If that is the game, we are not
in.

AFFECTING INCIDENT.-On Sunday
morning, several young folks were baptized
at Rev. DR.. Magoon's church, Albany, N.
Y. The first person who was baptized
was young girl, perhaps sixteen years old,
in the last stage of consumption. She was
literally arrayed in her grave clothes, it be-
ing understood that the white robe in
which she was babtized was to be worn by
her when she was placed in her coffin
She obtained her mothers permission to be
baptized and then acquainted her pastor
with her desire. She was brought to the
pool in the arms of her uncle, attended by
her mother, and lifted in the arms of the
pastor, who then gently immersed her head,
after repeating the usual words. The scene
was very affecting, causing some of the
spectators to sob with emotion. She
was so far gone that it was feared she
would expire-during the ceremony, yet af-
ter it was performed she expressed wish
to be brought to the church in the after
noon, to partake of the Lords Supper,
which was granted. After the supper,
when in another room, she sang the doxol-
ogy, "Praise God" and when in the car
riage, DR.. Magoon asked her how she felt;
she whispered, 81 have fought good
fight"

George W. Baker of Philadelphia, editor
of The Pennsylvanian, was before Mr.
Covode's Committee this morning. He
testified to holding clerkship with $1,000
salary in the Custom House, but was unable
to say what be performed, how much dur
ing the year, whether he occupied-an office
in the building, why his name was not
entered in the daily register like those Of
other clerks, or how it came TO be omitted
from Blue Book. He admitted being con

A GREAT MATCH FAcToRY.-A manu-
factory of friction matches has just been
put in operation at Cincinnati by two
wealthy citizens of that city. The cost of
the building and machinery has been $780,
600, and it is the most extensive match
factory in the world, except one in Austria.
1t. will turn out and pack 5000 gross Of
matches day, at a cost but little removed
from the raw material, and of quality
quite beyond anything the public has seen.
An inextinguishable match that no wind
can blow out is here made by an automatic
machine, at the rate of 1000 gross per day,
and SO cheap that they can be shipped to
Europe, where this kind are all made by
hand.

full of important secrets according to his
own boast. He gave ont that prominent
Republicans of the North were implicated
that be held the damning proofs. Now
that the raid is over and Gov. Wise IN
retiracy, the Democratic msjority are un-
willing to compel him to testify that ms
boasts were simply lies to give excuse fol
calling out the volunteer Virginia forces
for general training, IN anticipation of a
Southern disunion demonstration under
the lead of South Carolina and Mississippi.
Therefore it is on the records of the Harper's
Ferry Committed, that formal application
was made to summon GOV. Wise, which
the majority refused on the ground of his
letter to the Chairman, denying any fur
tber knowledge than had already been
published. The bark of Wise is worse
than his bite.-Leader.

A HoAx-SAoRIL1eIoTs FUN.-On Sat
urday an advertisement appeared in the
Baltimore San, stating that on Sabbath
morning the administration of the ordi-
nance of baptism would take place near
the Bslvidere Bridge, in that city. The
hour named was eleven O'Clock, previous
to which large numbers of men and women
of all ages and conditions in life, were
seen vending their way to the designated
place. Several thousand persons had con-
gregated, all waiting in anxious expecta-
ton that the minister and the subjects
would make their appearance. Soon a
whisper seemed TO be given from ear 20
ear, that this was the first day of April, or
"all fools day" 1t quickly, like an cleo
trio shock, pervaded the entire multitude,
when carriages and horsemen, and those
on foot, were seen, in double quick time,
departing to their respective homes.

Mormon Conference In HiinoiS
The Mormons do not all reside IL Utah
They are scattered up and down the eaita
though the main body of the Latter Day
Saints are gathered at Salt Lake City. A
new organization has been entered upon
outside of Brigham Young's rule, and the
Annual Conference of Mormons under the
name of the "New Organization of the
Church Of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day
Saints, was held at Amboy, H., on the
9Th. Zenas II. Grundy presided, and there
was a full attendance of High Priests and
Officials. Part of the family of the muir
dered Prophet, Joseph Smith, were in at
tendance, and one of his sons was induced
into the office as President of the High
Priests.
A movement is on foot to supersede
Bingham Young, and much bitterness was
manifested towards Young and bis party

nounced, and its practitioners put under
anathema. 1t is expected that young 10.
Smith will assume the Presidency and
Sheersbip, which will supersede the neces-
sity of a conference to depose Brigham, as
the Presidency of Smith is acknowledged,

cunvince them that they have "given heed
to sedueing spirits aud doctrines of devils"
The U. S. Government and Army hav-
ing failed to conquer Brigham Young, he
'sfeels his oats" more Than ever. Thegrand
army will soon be reduced to amere squad,
and most of the HGentiles" will also with
draw from the Territory. Utah is with
out courts now, except such as the Nor
mons choose to hold. The President hav-
ing censured the U. S. Judges, one has re-
signed and the other is in Washington
The Governor and Surveyor General are
the only Federal officers in the Territory.
All outside efforts TO depose him, like that
in Illinois, Brigham Young will only laugh
at and defy. He reigns in Utah, and will
continue to, in spite of powers temporal
and spiritual.-Leader.
