Tho Gentleman whose name heads this

in this District. He ia placed on the
track and run by men of the 7th of August
persuasion, Like them, be processes to
be an extraordinary 6ne Union man. His
conversation as we learn from diferen.
sources. was on this wise: He lives on
the bank of the Ohio. About the time
of the hombardment of Sumter, he and
some Of his neighbors INDUCED in re,
marks better suited to South Carolina
than Ohio. The consequence was that
one Of his frieads was treated to free
ldueking in the river. and the Dr.. given to
understand that his turn would come next.
The sight of his dripping friend and the
hint were sufficient. Loyalty was the
more popular belief and O'Connor en-
braced it. His quick conversion was re-
membered BY the more prudent of his
old faith and they wire worked his nomi
nation. thinking no doubt they could coax
him back to his former Sesesh pursuasion
as soon as elected. Will the people Of
this District elect such d man2 If not,
they had better be looking up an "Israel-
lite in whom there is no guile" to run
against him Guernsey Times

On the 9Th nine companies of the 9th
and the same of the seth Ohio Regiments.
were ordered to march at six O'Clock in
the evening, and at that time the two
Regiments were on their way to the city
to receive orders to which point to march
leaving our company of the 9Th, and
company r of the 38th to guard the
property left behind until their return.
As our Regiment fell into line armed and
equipped, they presented. ! the most beau

companies formed amid the clangor Of
music aud shouting of spectators, and
I dare say that there was not one in the
whole line. that did not feel his heart beat
with pride, as be heheld the enthusiasm in

of evening began to settle on the tents
