of companies G and ii respectlveiy,) under
command Of Capt. Drake, started back to the
same place they had been week previous;
as reports had reached camp that the rebels
had become troublesome in that quarter

RepubIican Meeting.


The Black Republicans held their convention
on Saturday last to elect delegates to the state
Convention which is to assemble at Columbus to-
day. Some 900 of the real old stagers of the par
ty were present. Intermixcd with these were
their recent converts from the Democratic party
Hamilton ]. Conner, Charles s. Cline, John Cor
bus and Godfrey Corbus.
John r. Bancroft was called upon for speech.
As the cause was desperate one it seemed nee
essary to select a miserable pettifogger to defend
it. As is usual among pettfoggers in such hope
less cases Mr.. Barefoot divested himself of the
gentlemen, what little he had, and delivered a
miserable TRADE of low, filthy lying personal abuse
of old citizens of this place. Mr.. Barefoot is of
that class of pettifoggers who, to defend some
,,rItv "cuss' of cri minal would abuse and vili'
fv court. iury. witnesses and all others he could
get his tongue upon and so in this case when he
was defending the guilty Black Republican party
his course was noted only for its filthncss. Mr.
Conner was called upon and endorseda Mr.. Bar
croft said He declined making Speech but
nromised to spread himself at some future day
"Or any other man."
A convention, composed of two delegates from
each township, was called to meet in two weeks
from that day, to nominate a county ticket lhe
ticket is already nominated; but it will be an
nounced at that time.
