Ha, ha, ha no, no, no he, he, he that is
rich. The Messenger, in speaking of the "se-
cesh" county ticket last week, said;
at is universally admitted that it is one OF
the strongest tickets ever presented to the peo-
pie of this county. 1t is a ticket vel
worthy of the confidence and support of the
whole people ofthe county. 1t is not made NJ
of party hacks or Office seeking political specu.
lators. The most of them were never candid
ates before a convention previous to this"
Let the reader look at the ticket and see fhe car
find man on it, with probably a single excep
ton, who has not been a constant attendent, anC
generally candidate for some Office at Demo
cratic conventions from five to fifteen years past
And then to say that they are not party hacks.
Where is the man of them that ever voted any
but straight party ticket, or disapproved o
any of the acts of his party, even to that o
causing disruption of the Union2 In fac
there is not man on the ticket but who is
most ultra partisan, and only two but that woulc
rather see JEFF. Davis occupy the White Hous'
at Washington than Mr., Lincoln, as we verify
believe.

UNION COUNTY TICKET.

1t is with pleasure we place at the head ofoul
columns the ticket nominated by the Unior
County Convention of Saturday last. 1t mus
be acknowledged that it is one of the best evei
nominated by any party in this county, and thai
every man on it will be elected by handsome
majority we cannot for a moment doubt. Po-
htically, the ticket is composed of eight
Democrats and two Republicans, which COM
pletely silences the charge of the enemy that
the union movement was dodge" of the Re-
publcans to obtain the offices. The two Re-
publicans on the ticket are Daniel L. June, can
didate for Treasurer, and H. W. Winslow, can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney, both honest
and competent men for the places.
The candidate for the Legislature, Alonzo
Thorpe, of Green Greek township, is most for
tunate selection. He is a man of the people,
possessed Of large and liberal views, thorough
lover of his country, and having excellent leg
islative qualities isjust the man for the place in
this critical time in the history of the country.
A. R. Ferguson, of Woodville township, the
nominee for Sheriff, is also a most excellent Sc
lection. If the Convention had ransacked the
county over it could not have found man pos
a good Sheriff. q He is a Democrat of the jack
sonian standard and heartily espoused the Un-
ion cause at an early day, and has not hesitated
todenounce treason and traitors wherever found,
whether at home or abroad. He deserves to and
will be elected by large majority.
The nominee for Auditor, Oscar Ball, needs no
recommendation from us. He has been doing
the business of the office for the past year, and
to the satisfaction of the public. He is thor
Oughly competent for the place.
Joseph L. Rawson, the nominee for Survey
or, is practical and accurate Surveyor.
competent man in this department has beer
long needed in this county, and we congratu
late the people that their wants in this resPec
are to be so soon gratiied.
The nominee for Commission, John Beery,
an old farmer of Washington township and fc
many years Justice of the Peace there. He
in all respects competent for the place,
A. r. Gallagher, the nominee for Reeorde
will be fit successor to the present worth
occupant of that Office. He is both compete
and worthy, and deserves the vote ofevery u
ion man in the county.
The office of Coroner will be filed by N.
Caldwell, man every way competent for Il
place.
DR.. P. Beaugrand, the nominee for Infirmal
Director, is now a member of the Board.
the Democratic County Convention refused
renominate him account of his well know
Union sentiments, it was but just and prop
that he should receive this acknowledgment fro
the Union Convention for his patriotism. l.
the people re-elect him by rousing majority

A Rleh Haul OF nobeI property.


Within the last "a hours the Surveyor
Of the Port has taken measures Of great
magnitude and importance involving ma
rine property TO the value Of several mil.
lions, under the authority of the proclama-
ton Of the President, of the ] 9th ult., issued
in accordance with the act Of Congress pro-
viding for the coniscation of property be-
longing to parties living in States in insur-
rection against tho United States. Tho
fifteen days that by the terms Of tho proc
lamation were to elapse before it should be
put in force expired at 12 o'clock on Satur-
day night r, f. Andrews, ESQ, the Sur
veyor Of the PORT having previously OBJ
tanned information in regard to all the ships
in the harbor which were owned in whole
or in part by persons residing in the seced-
ed States, gave notice to the revenue Off
GERS in command at the Barge Office to
have in readiness fifty officers to await the
orders of the Surveyor at 8 o'clock yester
day morning
Punctually at that hour the Surveyor
proceeded to the Barge Office with Inspec
tor Thomas J. Brown, and employing The
revenue cutter G. Birkbeck, with the fifty
officers referred to above, for the purpose
, proceeded to take possessson of all the ships
, in port, belonging in whole or in part tc
, citizens Of States in insurrection, and placed
! on board of each revenue officers to hole
a the same until the necessary proceeding
can be instituted for their confscation unde
the act aforesaid, and their consequent for
: feiture to the United States. There wer,
| twenty-five vessels seized in all, and o
these about an equal proportion of ships
f barks, brigs, and schooners. Some of tn
: vessels and cargoes are very valuable, an,
altogether it is estimated that several mil
lions of dollars will probable accure to tn
/ Government-an amount at least that wi
! prove fair offset to jeff Davis privatee
: ing operations, with possibly slight maj
h gin of profit. The whole affair was quietl
consumnated, and by its suddenness too
the parties interested by surprise.

The Heroic VaiIandtgham.

The Secessionists of Paducah, KY, held
a meeting the other day, at which the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
'ResOIUGd That the Hon. L. W. Powell, and the Hon.
John C. Brecknridge Senators, and the Hon Henry
c. Burnett Representative in Congress, the HEROIC
VALLAND. CHAN, and the patriotic little baud that
stood by them deservefor their patriotism and bodness,
in standing up, in the midst of armed mob and de-
nouncng the waged by Lincoln illegal and uncon-
wamest appreciation and admiration for
their gallant conduct
on motion the meeting adjourned with three cheers for
the Southern Confederacy."
1t was about the time this resolution was
passed that "the Heroic Vallandigbam"
was displaying his "heroism" at Columbus,
in conclave with the Ohio Democratic Com
mittee, in patching up the hole made in
their ticket by the withdrawal of the only
Union man on it. The Dayton Journal
we'll exclaims: "For heavens sake, tell us
how much longer the intelligence of this
community is to be insulted by the pre-
tence that Valandigham is in favor of main
tanning the Union!"

General ROsencran1 on tho March.

Letters to the Cincinnati papers show
that Gen. Rosencranz broke up his camp
at CIarksburg, Va, on Saturday, the 3lst
ult., and started Southwark. On Monday,
the I'd inst, he was at Weston. The OBJ
iect of the movement and its destination are
unknown to any but the General and, per
haps, the confidential members Of his staff;
but from the direction taken, it is fair to
infer that the movement is intended to be
in concert with the force under Gen. Cox.

Important ReveIatiOn-WhO are the
TraftOrS1

W. B. Garter, Esq, a prominent citizen
of East Tennessee, made an able Union
speech at Cincinnati last night, in the
course of which he made the following sig
nifcant disclosure and prediction, which il
becomes the loyal men of Ohio to heed
He said:

the Baltimore Convention, entered into a
conspiracy-a written conspiracy-with
their names signed to it, to overthrow this
Government, and insugurate ono of their

Fair Warning.

The Messenger intimates with wonderful and
alarming seriousness that unless we stop denom-
mating certain persons Tories, the business Of
Fremont will be vastly injured. He no doubt
wishes it understood that if the price of Beans
falls, the trade of Fremont will be ruined. We
are inclined to believe that Buchanan price for
Beans cannot be sustained in these times, and
venture to suggest that the prosperity of FIRE.

Another Fight in the Kanawha valley


The dispatches state that another fight
has taken place in the Kanawha Valley re-
gion, resulting this time in the success Of
the Federal forces. The account says that
three companies of Federal troops attacked
body of rebels (number not stately al
Boone Court House. Tho rebels were
routed with loss of thirty killed, and a
large number of wounded, and about forty
prisoners. On our side no one was killed
and only six wounded. Our troops burnt
the town.
Boone Court House is a small village
the capital of Boone county. The country
around is very thinly settled. The village
is situated on the Little Coal river, w. S
w. from Gauley Bridge, from which it i:
distant about thirty-fve miles in bee line
and probably between forty and fifty by
road. The Federal troops were undoubtedly
from Gen. Cox's camp.

Lieut. MATTHEW RHEA of Somerville, was one Of
the bravest Of the brave who fell at Columbus in
defence of Southern independence. He has giyga
to the world an exhibition of constancy and courage
worthy of the best days of Rome and which viii
render his name historical. He wore in the action
an old ancestral sword, which had been presented
to his grandfather by Gen. Greene during the ReTo.

words "Victory or death" When Lieut. Rhea
entered the service his venerable father took down
the sword from its place upon the wall and handed
it to him saying: MY son. let no dishonor befal
this sword" The gallant young officer replied,
Father, know the value of this sword, and viii
surrender it only with my life" In the beginning
of the late action, Lieut. Rhea was ordered to deploy
his company as skirmisherS, and having advanced
some distance from the main body Of his regiment,
he was suddenly cut off by an overwhelming force
of the enemy, who were in ambush awaiting hiR
approach In an instant q terrible hand to hand
encounter ensued. Several of his comrades stood
by him to the last and we're cut down. He was
shot with Minnie ball. which entered and fractured

demanded his sword. Never" said he, "wil
