WE WANT MORE sUBscR1BERs.

Our friend, Thos Fesler, ESQ, in
handing us list of thirteen new subscri-
bers since our last, says "thiis IS the work
Of one hours canvdssing.'' Well, friend
Fesler, we thank you for that hour, and
believe it's results will do more good than
any hour you have spent in casting and
prayer" for month. These subscri-
bers cope from Silver Run, in Salisbury
Township, where we have very large
list already in proportion to the popula-
ton ofthe neighborhood. Ifsome good,
live Republican, in every neighborhood
in the county would take the Telegraph,
and show its ample dimensions and it's
clear and readable type, we verify believe
1000 additional names might be added
to our list in week, without the loss of
day to any one. And we appeal to
every Republican reader, if he does not
honestly believe that the widespread cir
culation of the Telegraph will do more
to advance the Republican cause than
any other instrumentality that can be
used in the county. We are not begging.
We present the Telegraph to the people
of Meigs County, and challenge an ex-
animation. But we do not place it on
the grounds of its Republicanism alone.
True, during the campaign, it will be
largely devoted to political news and
discussions. But the campaign will soon
be over, when we intend to make it much
more of a literary journal-such jour
nal, in fact, as will take away all excuse
or temptation to send to the East for
papers. We intend to make the 7eze-
graph welcome and indispensable aux
iliary in the education and culture of the
people of our County. To this end, ar
rangements are making to secure such
editorial assistance as will make the Iele-
graph more than we have ever promised
1t mast and shall become pride to the
citizens, or 1t aoiH be discontinued, :
1t depends upon our friends in the neat
sic months to determine a1hich. We aoiI
not spend our time upom second rate
county paper. Ifhe citizens of the county
soamt a first class journal they can
haze 1t. If they want mere starved,
sickly, milk-and-water concern, they
may have that, bat not from us. We
have set our standard for the next vol
ume, high; but it will depend wholly
upon the appreciation of the public
whether there will be any next volume.
We mean all we say. The friends of the
Telegraph will show their intentions by
their acts.

PoMERoY, July alst, 1860.
Editor Tslegraph-Dear SIR: For
some time past have had my attention
called to the constant repetition of crimes
committed in this and some of the ad-
joining counties, that leads me to have
serious apprehensions of fire in our place
by the hand of some incendiary. For
this reason [ beg leave, through your
columns, to call the attention of the citi-
zens of Pomeroy to this matter. And
for the purpose of showing the imme-
diate necessity Of giving their attention
to this matter, it is only necessary to say
that burglaries and larcenies are more
apt to be committed by idle and wicked
persons when they are unable to find
employment than at other times, and it
is frequently the case that criminals will
commit other and far greater crimes for
the purpose of covering up crime al
ready committed. When burglar has
appropriated all he can Of a citizen's S
property he is willing to destroy the rest
rather than be detected, which has been
fully demonstrated to the people of
Pomeroy.
There are abundant reasons for think
ing that there is large and we'll Or
ganized company of rogues among US,
not only from the arrests that have al
ready been made during the last two
weeks in this section of the country, but
from the fact that there is large amount
of counterfeit money in circulation.
You will remember that, but few
weeks ago, Mr.. VIM. Todd's Store was
broken and entered, and large amount
of property taken. This week Messrs.
Patton & Smiths Store was robbed of
all the money that could be found in the
drawer-I also hear from reliable
source that the suspicions were so well
directed that upon the affidavit of Mr.
Patton the right parties were arrested,
and one of the two young men who were
engaged in the burglary, after confessing
the whole, went on to state that he was
solicited by his confederate to set fire to
an adjoining building and cover it up
with paper until they could get out Of
the way, and in this way cut off, as far
as possible, all clue to detection.
In view Of these facts, and that of
there being a growing disposition on
the part of our citizens to build two
story frame buildings in the corporation,
I suggest that all persons who feel an in
terest in this matter, meet together at
the Court H House, at half past seven
o'clock on Thursday evening next, to
take into consideration the propriety Of
organizing effective fire companies, and
procuring fire engines, and such other
matters as may be deemed expedient for
mutual protection and safety. This is
a matter that every citizen of the town Of
Pomeroy is deeply interested in, and 1
hope that every individual, whether an
owner or tenant, will feel that it is not
only his privilege, but duty he owes
himself and his family to be present and
exert his influence to its utmost, to Sc
cure the largest possible attendance for
that purpose, from the fact that the sue
cess or failure Of the movement will
very much depend upon the interest
taken in the matter at the first meeting.

More Presidential Candidates.

Sam Houston, of Texas, has been nom
mated for President by State Conven-
tion of his State, and by several squa ds
Of mongrel Democrats and Know Moth
ings throughout the country. His
friends say that he will sweep the nation
like tornado and be elected over all
opposition.
But alas the ''irrepressible conflict, :"
and the unsuppressible negro find their
way into the councils of the Houstonites,
as we'll as the conclaves of the followers
of Douglas and Breckinridge. A Hous-
ton Convention was held at Schenectady,
N. Y. on the 18th inst, which, after Or
ganizing in the forenoon, adjourned to
three o'clock to "save the Union" by
nominating Vice President to serve on
the ticket with the "hero of Jacinto. %
The Telegraph gives the following en-
couraging report of the wind-up.
aThe Convention reassembled at three
o'clock.
Us. Van Rensselaer, was chosen Chair
man.
An address in favor of Sam Houston
for the Presidency was offered, and after
a warm discussion, which nearly termi-
mated in row, was adopted.
Commodore Stockton of New Jersey
was named as Vice President, to run with
Houston.
A Committee was appointed to name
an Electoral ticket, and upon reporting,
the Chairman resigned, and with many
others withdrew from the Convention,
which shortly afterward broke up in an
indiscriminate row"

Kentucky Democratic State Convention


Kentucky Democratic State Convention.
A State Convention of the Democratic
party was held at Frankfort, in that
State, on the 18th inst, which was
largely attended. A long string of res
olutions were adopted, affirming the
principles of the National Democratic
party" ratifying the nomination of
Breckinridge and Lane, and most en-
phatically repudiating Douglas. 1t was
ascertained that Marion c. Taylor, Elec-
tor Of the Seventh District, was tinctured
with Douglasism; whereupon his name
was stricken from the list of Electors,
and the name of Fl. P. Semple, Breck
inridger, substituted in his place. The
Electoral ticket had been formed before
the split in the party. On the division,
all the other Electors announced them
selves for Breckinridge. Taylor hesi
tated, and was thrown overheard. Ex
Gov. Powell, as the leading man of the
party, was present, and took part in the
proceedings, making long speech
which is fully reported in the Cincinnati
Gazette.
A resolution was passed, empowering
the State Central Committee, as soon,
and as fast as it should be ascertained
that any man on the Electoral ticket, or
any candidate nominated for any office,
or any member of any District or County
Committee should be discovered to be in
favor Of Douglas, to erase his name and
substitute the name of "National Dem
ocrat," to fill the vacancy.
We supposed that there would be a
Douglas ticket in Kentucky, and that he
might possibly get some 10000 or 10000
votes, thereby giving that State to Bell.
But it does not seem probable that he
has friends enough to get up ticket,
and that Breckenridge will carry the
State. Yet Democratic editors in Ohio
assure their readers that Kentucky is in
blaze of enthusiasm for Douglas, and
that he will carry the State!

The Pittsburgh Gazette says there are
one hundred and forty-s papers in that
State now supporting the Republican
candidates, which opposed Fremont and
the Republican party in 1856. Of all the
Fillmore papers, there are, says the Ga
zette, but two which now support Bell
and Everett. Lincoln is sure of an
overwhelming majority in the old Key

Democratic Conventions.

We are informed that there will be a
Democratic convention held in Pomeroy,
for Meigs County, on the first Saturday
in August. And District convention
at Logan on the 14th of the same month.
AS we have not been favored with no.
tiee by those in authority, We cannot
give particulars. We assure our Demo
cratic friends that they need feel no del
icacy in asking for notice of their meet
ings through the Telegraph. We will
give them the benefit of such notices
with great pleasure, especially, as they
have no organ of their own in the Eng
dish language, in this county.
We are not advised which of the "Na-
'tional Democracies' intend holding the
above Conventions, but, being perfectly
impartial between them, the offer is ex-
tended to both wings, We should judge
however, that these Conventions are fo1
the Douglas party. sforr .t

our friends in the several neig hborhoods
shoughout the county, would favor us

want long articles. The shorter the
better. Give US the passing events, and
don't be afraid because your are not in

interest, and if not exactly in shape for
printing, we will fix that matter. But
remember we must, in every. case have
the name Of the Writer-not for publ

There is not township in the County
which might not furnish local items of
interest every week, of which we never
hear, and which would add to the IL

make the Telegraph interesting ia every
way, but without the cooperation of
others it is quite impossible for the
editor to gather up the local items which
daily occur.

in Pomeroy, Middleport, Rutland,
Salem, Harrisonville, Pageville, Chester

without any inconvenience to themselves
