The Convention for the Tenth District
which met in Winchester on the 10th, ap-
pointed Messrs. Hoge and Funston dele
gates to the Democratic National Conyen-
ton. Both these gentlemen are said to be
Hunter men. In the 10Th, or Wheeling r.
lectoral District, Charles Russell, of Wheel
ing, and VIM. G. Brown, of Preston, both
reported to be Hunter men, were appointed
delegates. The Convention for the l4th
Electora! District, which met at Parkers-
burg on the 18th, also, it is said, appointed
Hunter men. The Norfolk Convention
which met on the 10th was unanimous in
expressing preference for Gov. Wise.
A writer ia the last Rockingham Regis
ter recommends Col Hiram L. Opie of Au-
gusta, and Robert A. Gray, of Rocking
ham, as delegates from this District Del
egates will bear in mind that the Convention
for this district, meets in Harrisonburg on
on the 9th of April.

SensibIe Men.

Thomas J Steady Of Tyler County, hav-
ing been appointed Eector for that County
by the Wing State Convention, has written
a letter to the Wheeling Union, declining
to act in that capacity lie states that while
he has great respect for the ability and pa
triotism of many of those who composed
that Convention, yet he must dissent from
the means proposed to avert the political
crisis which is rapidly approaching. He
concludes by saying that he feels bound to
give all the influence which he may have TO
the support of the Democratic party.
In the last Valley Sentinel, Joseph W.
Holt, Esq, of Craig County, also declines
the honor conferred upon him as Opposition
Elector for that County. He says;
cit has long been my opinion that the
Democratic party is the only true national
party in existence, and to it alone we can
safely look for the salvation Of our priceless
heritage. Ny honest opinion is that the
Wing party hasl long since forfeited its claims
to be considered national party, from the
eagerness it has exhibited to coalesce with
any movement looking to the defeat OF the
Democratic party, without any regard to the
ultimate and final tendency of such move
ment."

The announcement That tire hotel keep
ers of Charleston would raise the board to
SIS day, during the session of the Demo-
cratic National Convention. has created
great and just indignation throughout the
country 1t is certainly the most .pafpabie
attempt at gouging and legal swindling On
record. The press of the country have sug-
gested various modes Of avoiding the neces-
sity Of submitting to this unheard-of and
inhospitable extortior. The only one at all
feasible, is the suggestion that the visitors
should eschew the hotels, and sleep and eat
on board of the steamers on the wharf
This, we fear, would be impracticable, on
account of the limited facilities for accom-
modating. on short notice, SO vast null
titude, some idea of which can be formed
from the fact that the delegation from Hill
nois alone will number one thousand. a
The National Central Committee have
been seriously considering the expediency
Of changing the place for the holding Of the
Convention from Charleston to Baltimore.
We would be heartily glad if the Central
Committee should discover that it has the
power to make this change. ag
The report that the place of meeting of
the Convention is to be changed from
Charleston to Baltimore, has created much
excitement in the former city. Some Of
the Charleston papers intimate that although
Baltimore, or any other city be chosen as
the place of meeting, the Southern delegates
will assuredly assemble in that city, and
proceed to nominate candidates for Presi-
ident and Vice President.

Lieut.. Chapman, of the Saratoga, has II

AS near as can be ascertained, the fol
lowing are the facts connected with theil
capture: The Saratoga. while cruising a
long the coast off Anton Lizardo, Oh the
morning of the 9th, discovered fsyo steam
ers. Continuing his course and observing
that they carried no national ensign, he
fred shot across the bows of the nearest
and ran up the American flag. The only
response from the steamer was broadside
An action ensued, resulting in the capture
of both steamers with but slight loss on
the American side. Lieut.. Chapman comes

/ The city of Mexico has been completely
surrounded by the Liberal force, under Car
ynjal and other leaders. 9s =
Great excitement existed at Vera Cruz
in consequence Of the capture of Marin's
expedition BY tie Saratoga. The Liberals
hail it as the harbinger OF an alliance, while
sympathisers with the Church and Miramon
faction, are indignant at what they term a
national outrage On weaker power The
French aud Spanish were highly exaspera-
ted at the action Of the American squad
ron. So
Mifamon laid siege to Vera Cruz on The
9th. On the 9th two steamers appeared
before the city, showing 10 colors. The
Saratoga, with detachment from the Sa-
vannah and the Preble. in the steamers In
dianaola and Wave. was ordered to proceed
to the anchorage Of the steamers to ascer-
tain their character Upon nearing the
anchorage off Anton Lizardo, one Of the
steamers moved off. A shot was fired tc
bring her to, and the Indlanola was sent tc
overhaul her. The 1ndianola's hail was an

two steamers. Rf'As ~ t54s's9f A
Marin's steamers passed by al the for.

The French, English aud Spanish didn'1
notice the fact The Saratoga, towed BY
the Indianola,took Marin BY surprise. The
engagement took place by moonlight The
steamers tried to escape Three Americans
were wounded--one MORALLY, IS Mexicans
are reported killed, and 20 wounded =
When the action cainnsenced, Marin noisteo

Highly Important from Mexico

The Geographic news in our paper to-day
contains the important announcement of a
naval engagement on the 7th inst, off Point
Anton Lisardo, between the u. s. slocp-ofs
war Saratoga, Capt Turner, and the Mexi-
can war steamers Gen. Miramon and Gen.
Marquese, in which the Mexican steamers
were captured with but slight loss on the
American side. The two steamers captured
formerly belonged to the Spanish Navy land
were purchased, it is said, with money fur
uished by Santa Anna, to be used for the
benefit of Gen. Miramon, the leader of the
Church party, who is now besieging Vera
Cruz. Appropriate names were given them
and on the 9th ult., they sailed from Fla
vana, fully reftted and in fighting trim, IN
der the command of Com. Marin. They
carried the Spanish flag in the harbor Of Ha-
vana, but hoisted Mexican colors on getting
outside. Besides the usual armament, they
carried twelve 24-pounders. and were well
laden with ammunition, stores and provisions
for Miramon. They reached Sisal on
the LIST inst, ard it was in steaming from
thence to Vera Cruz that they fell in with,
and were captured by the United States sloop-
of war The Saratogais sloop-of~war car
rying 20 guns, and rating at $50 TONS She
was commanded by Commander Thomas
Turner, native Of Virginia The New
Orleans papers contain Vera Cruz advices
to the Sd inst, from which we extract the
following, which, in view of the recent
events, will be of interest:
The New Orleans] steamer Indiapola
Captain Flanders, arrived out at Vera Cruz
on the 29th. She was greeted with the
warmcst enthusiasm. AS is well know, she
carried down large quantity Of stores and
