and the drilling for the other, to produce
the commodity which makes half a con-
Itinent tributary to our town. This min.
ing and drilling-this boiling andpack-
ing-this freighting and shipping and
selling, requires labor, and employs la
borers, and these laborers require the
necessaries and comforts of life in re-
turn And this furnishes perpetual
home market for the productions Of the
farm and the wares of the merchant and
mechanic. All are thus mutually bene-
fitted. If We had time it would be an
easy task to draw picture which most
persons would call a fancy sketch, but
it would still be true. We shall return
to Pomeroy with the full faith that her
advantages over almost any other town
in the State are very great, and in their
very nature permanent; and that it is
destined at no distant day to attract that
notice which its natural resources GER
stainly entitle it to. -
Nothing of any Importance has, as
yet, transpired in either House. This
day was spett chiefly in joint convention
of both Houses, counting the votes for
Governor and State officers at the late
election. The result was the same as
long ago announced, and need not now
besrepeated.
The Inauguration of Gov. Dennison is
set for next Mondayat 10 O'clock A. NJ.
There will, no doubt, be great crowd.
An Inauguration ball is announced for
Monday night at one of the large City
Halls.
The work on the State House is not
yet completed, and an appropriation Of
sirty thousdad dollars will be asked by
the Commissioners to finish it. No

amount, will be expended upon this
building before it is completed But it
cannot be had at this time by our vote,
Some two millions of dollars have already
been expended, and it is in a condition
that answers all practical purposes, and
there let it remain for the present.
Tomorrow the great Democratic Con
vention will be held here. Many of the
chiefs of the party are in the city and a
great stir is the consequence. One OF
the notabnities of the town whose
sstrade' shall be nameless, once said that
a single days session of Democratic Con-
ventions was of more Importance to the
pecuniary proftof the aforesaid 'sinsti-
tuition" than whole session of Re
publican Legislature. Howsoever this
may be, the Delegates whom we have
happened to see are fair specimen OF
the talent and responsibility of the party
We should think they had sent up their
best men generally. Of course they are
extreme partisans; but aside from this,
they are fine looking set of men and no
doubt good citizens. at home.
A Republican caucus will be held to-
night to take into consideration the SEN
atorial question. It is somewhat doubt
full whether Senator will be elected OF
not. There is small faction, elected
Jas 'sopposition," who are in caucus with
the Democracy, and what the resultmay
be is yet uncertain More tomorrow.

Dear Telegraph: The city is full o.
Delegates to the Democratic Convention
to-day. The conflict between the Doug
las and Administration wings of the
party is fierce and bitter, The Office
holders, who are all necessarily Buchanan
men, complain that the followers of tht
Illinois Senator, by trickery and man
agemsnt, secured the majority of tn,
District delegates, and that they will no
submit to the same kind of engineering
in this Convention, and that rather thai
submit they will blow up the meeting
| We will give the result in another letter
| Speaking of the dissensions in tn
Democratic party, requires of us, in tn
name of truth and impartiality, to sa.
that the Republican party is not itself
very shining model of harmony, judgins
from present appearances in the Legis
lature, or rather in the caucus of it
members. It may not be in accordanc
with strict party discipline to speak o
these things, but if the Republican part,
