BELMONT CoUNTY.-Thc St. ClairS-
vile Gavotte, of the Oath inst, says;-
"Capt. Charlesworth arrived at home
last evening, and looks to enjoy excellent
health. He reports as having left his
men well generally. He thinks the cam
paicn for the winter is over on their part
Of the line as the confederates are telling
trees on the mountain passes between the
two encampmentS. The Captain expects
to remain at home some two or three
weeks. He brings considerable money
to the families of the soldiers. He left
his men building cabins to winter in
They have received no clothing since they
left, their appearance may be judged of,
having for months been telling the forest,
Irollinglogs, building entrcnchments, forts
and huts and climbing the rocks in the
mountains"
The same paperof the same date, says:
I-"Mr. VIM. Mcfarland, living a short
distance south of this place, was found
dead in his field on Friday last. Hehad
gone out for the purpose Of catching a
horse and was found laying on the grounC
dead with the bride on his arm. He'was
q very worthy citizen, and his remains
were followed to the grave on Sunday by
a very large concourse of his neighbors.
9 The same paper of the same date, als'
has the following: "a terrible tragic af
fair happened quite recently, near Nor
rstown, through which a son of Isaac

We, the undersigned, have heard from
rumor that our names, without our seek
ING, were placed on the Democratic ticket
as candidates by the County Convention,
which met at Charleston on the 21st in
slant.
1t is due to ourselves that we should
briefly state our position in respect to this.
The Union Convention, at Charleston,
on the 18th inst, had placed US in nomina-
ton, and we deem it our duty to say that
We consider ourselves as candidates on the
Union ticket and bound to it by all proper
obligations, and that we will give it our
undivided support.
Whilst we state this we must also say
that when nominated on the 9th inst, we
were known as Democrats, that we are
Democrats now, and expect to remain 50.

well to lay aside party organizations in

national troubles. We will add that we

Another Ksitytng Cry from ri o. n :
Francts nesgnsr.

On Saturday week the people of Fair
field, Litchtield, New Haven, (Ct.) ard
other counties, turned out in their might
to testify their answering devotion to the
Union, and to declare their determination
to support the Government in the most
vigorous war measures. Among the
speakers vas Col. MMeagileI.
lie began by saying it was about II
years ago that one evening a ship Of war
slowly passed up from the southern waves
Of the Pacific amid the wooded hills and
azure skies above it, clouded heights be-
yond, and a tranquil scenery all about. -
As that ship passed up amid almost desc
late seas, there was one flag that met the
eye of those on board-that was the
stars and stripes, Cheers What ship
was that I II was war ship of Great
Britain, and lie was prisoner on board
And lying tranquil on those waters was
this American ship with the stars and
stripes flying 1T the masthead. And he
drank liberty IT his prison gates. 1t was
70 him cheering omen He forgot his
imprisonment, forgot that Ireland was
a ruin and wreck, and saw glorious fu-
ture not to his own native land alone, but
to humanity at large. From that mo
ment he had been devoted to that flag
which stood there reminding him that
