THE THIRD DIsTRICT.-The prevailing dis
position in the third congressional district is
to avoid any thing like a political contest in
the election of a member of congress, and to
present a candidate who will command the
support of all who stand by the Union. The
citizens of West Roxbury met Tuesday even
ing, and in pursuance of the general desire,
appointed delegates to Union convention, TO
be held in Dedham on the 23d inst. compris.
ing members of all parties. The meeting was
addressed by Linus B. Comins, Geo. L.
Curtis, Rev. James Freeman Clarke, and
others, all of whom expressed their hearty
and cordial preference for the nomination of
Hon. BENJAMIN +. THOMAS. There is
call published Tor another convention at Ded.
ham on the 9th inst, purporting to be issued
by members OF the democratic district COM
mittee, and containing wanton reflection
upon those who have differed with them upon
questions Of public policy, calculated to dis
courage the unanimity of feeling which the
whole state desires to see exemplified in the
third district.

RETURN OF THE WoUNDED.-FoW of the
Massachusetts, soldiers, who were wounded at
Baltimore, returned home, yesterday, in the
steamer Ben Deiord. They are sergeant
Ames, corporal Tyler, and private Coburn, of
the Lowell City Guard; and private Green,
of Co. l, Lawrence. Sergeant Ames was
much bruised about the head, but fell into kind
hands and las nearly recovered. Corporal
Tyler was in the thickest of the fight, where
he says stones and bricks flew like hnilstones.
Seeing Que man with three stones under his
arm and another in his hand ready to throw
at the troops, Tyler fired at him, and to use
his own expressive phrase, 'the man dropped
his bricks and laid down" He was struck by
heavy stone on the thigh, which rendered
him helpless, and from which he has not
wholly recovered. Private Coburn, who was
most severely injured of the four, has been,
since the fight, under the care of Mrs. Tyler,
native of Boston, and resident of Baltimore.
He is now out of danger. Private Green, who
received severe flesh wound in his leg, has
also nearly recovered. They are now absent
on THROUGH and all expect to reJoin their
ranks as soon as possible.

precision, and automatic power that is really
wonderful. AS mere curiosity, it is unap.
proachabe, while the practical benefits of such
mill cannot be overestmated.
The machine bears with it a chapter in the
history of ex.secretary Floyd's treason. 1t
was devised at the arsenal, and the only one
in existence for a long time was the original
lead mill, still Id operation there. That it
should remain the only one of its kind was the
intention OF the ordnance department and the
patterns were directed TO be kept strictly with.
in the control OF the commandant.
But Floyd was anxious that his friends
"down South in Dixie" should have bullet
maker of their own. So, by special order.
he directed the patterns to be delivered to a
machnist in Troy, who commenced making

delayed, and last week the Lieutenant COVER

but not in this country. Whether it is serv
