The same committee have advices to-day from
Staunton, where the Douglas Virginians are
assembled in State Convention. Upward Of
eighty counties will be represented in the National
Democratic Convention that met to-day. Tho
attendance is YER, large, and the enthusiasm for
Douglas and Johnson is very great. There will be
no fusion with the Charlottesville Convention. I
have this from very Trustworthy source. A clean
Douglas ard Johnson ticket will be nominated.

1t has transpired that The Constellation makes
charge against the Departments for the old stand
ing matter Oh its fourth page showing the organ
izati0n of the Government by Departments aud
bureaux, and the respective powers and duties Of
each. In some instances the charges have been
paid in others refused. regret to hear that it is
not altogether new thing. But whether it ia or
not, any payments on that head are without foun-
