Military Display.

The training of the officers of the three regl-
ments in this county took place in Staunton on
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday Of last week.
On Wednesday afternoon the West Augusta
Guards, Capt. Baylor, and the stsunton Artil-
lery, Capt. Imboden, appeared upon the field
with the officers, when the whole were reviewed
by Brigadier General VIM. Il. Hartman. The
military display was the finest we have seen for
a long time. The battalion was under the COM
mand of tie Brigade Inspector, Col. Jas. ".
Massie of Rockbrdge. After the companies
returned from the field, highly finished sword
was presented to Capt, Baylor, by Lieut.. Bum
gardner iu behalf of the West Augusta Guard,
and most beautiful and costly flag to the Staun-
ton Artillery by Gen Hartman, as the represent
alive of the ladies of Staunton and the county
Capt. Baylor responded for himself, and Capt
Imboden for his Company, and we need not say
that the remarks of all the gentlemen were well
conceived and highly appropriate. The ceremo'
MES took place at ths Central Railroad Depot,
in the presence of large crowd OF SPECTATORS
Turner's Bsnd enlvened the occasion by their
fine music.

WaynesbOrO' Cadets.

A young correspondent from Waynesooro',
signing himself 'sF," informs us of the organiza-
ton of a military corps OF little boys in that
place, called the Waynesboro' Cadets. We let
him tell the story in his own words, as follows ::
''They are little company of boys, about twen-
ty, between the age ofseven and fourteen. They
have got uniform which is composed OF red
flannel shirt and black pants, trimmed with red.
Their caps are made of blue paste board, trimmed
with red It is a real show to see them. write
to you because it shows what the Waynesboro'
boys can do / send you list of the officers,
viz: B. Harrison Waddell, Captain, Charles M.
Gallaher, Lieutenant; J. Holcombe Alexander,
Pioneer, and Thos. II. Huff, Orderly Sergeant"
We are pleased to hear that the military spirit
is abroad even among the little ones of the land,
and will be glad to hear something more" OF
the Waynesboro' Cadets, as our correspondent
promises.

The Republican Nominees.

The nomination of Abraham Lincoln for the
Presidency, by the Chicago Convention, is gen.
orally regarded as breaking down of the Black
Republican party. Mr.. Lincoln has no elements
of popularity, and certainly no special qualifca-
tons for the office. A year ago, says the Balti-
more American, he was unknown out of his own
State, and all his recent reputation rests upon
bis popularity as stump orator In canvassing
Illinois as the Republican opponentto Mr.. Doug
las return to the Senate, when he succeeded in
carrying the State by the popular vote, though
Mr.. Douglas secured a majority in the Legisla-
ture. His record as public man is brief and
obscure. He was born 10 Kentucky in 1909, re
ceived limited education, adopted the profess
sion of law, was a Captain in the Black Hawk
war, at one time Postmaster of q small village,
four times elected to the Illinois Legislature, and
a representative in Congress from Illinois for one
term, from 1847 to 1849. His private record is
that of third rate district politician, not at one
time at least in his life, very particular in his
sociations or correct in his moral habits. The
selection of such man over the great opponents
of the Republican party, to the exclusion OF Sew
aid, Wade, Banks, Fessenden, and others, whose
nomination would at least have been entitled to
respect, is an insult as gratuitOus as It's accom-
plishment appears inexplicable. We cannot see
how any amount of party management can over
come the general feeling of disgust which its an
nouncement must create with the masses.
The nomination OF Mr.. Hamlin for the Vice
Presidency, is much more respectable. He is a
native of Maine, born in 1909, lawyer by pro-
fession, and entered public life as g member OF
the Maine Legislature in 1886. He was a mem
Der of the House of Representatives in the twen-
ty-eghth and twenty ninth Congresses, and en-
tered the United States Senate in 1S48. He was
reelected for six years In 1851. In 1857 bis
party in Maine, to avail themselves of his per-
sonal popularity, ran him for Governor. He
was elected but soon afterwards resigned the
Governorship and was reelected to the Senate
for the term~ending 1868. He has not been
particularly distinguished in the Senate, but ranks
among the most decided Republican members OF
that body.
