Candidates.

The names of numerous candidates in
this county have been mentioned in con-
nection with the Offices to be filed at the
ensuing November election.
As candidates for delegate to the Consti.
tutional Convention, for this county, we
have heard mentioned the names of Judge
Norton and DR.. A. L. Macarthur, Repbub-
licaus, and Hon. Samuel K Casey. Demo>
crat. Either of these gentlemen would
make good delegate from this county,
but, according to our notion of politics and
and things in general, Mr.. Casey would
come nearer representing the sentiments
of the people than any other man in the
county
For County Judge. as yet. no Democrat
is in the field. o. McGovney, Esq, E. w.
Craudall, Charles Weeks. Esq, and d. U.
Cobb, Republicans, are before the people
for suffrages. If it were rot that the can
didates for Judge are already Numerous, W
should urge some good Democrat to come
out FOR the Office.
Benjamin Richardson, Democrat, and
E. L. D. Stewart, j. A. Franks and Oscar
Kayler, Republicans, have been mentioned
for County Treasurer. There appears tc
be co lack of material for this Office
but If there be, we presume, the Republi-
can party can furnish more, as there is nc
bounds to their patriotism, in this respect
this year.
For County Clerk, the name Of the pres
ent worthy Democratic incumbent William
Tonner, is prominently before the people
and AloDzo Leach and Mr.. Vandersoll, both
Republicans, have been favorably spoken
of for the Office by THEN political friends.
The Surveyors comes next in grade
John IL. Kavanagh, Democrat, has been
mentioned for the position, and an excel
lent officer he would make too. lie is q
competent civil engineer and surveyor; and
If he will consent to run, he will receive
the votes OF the Democracy of the county
and not few Republicans. The present
incumbent, A. j. Mathewson, and Adam
Comstock. Republicans, will probably be
candidates for the Office.
The only name we have heard mentioned
10 connection with the office of School Com.
missioner, is that of E. Savage, Republican
And though we do not agree with Mr..
Savage, politically, yet the faithful manner
in which has discharged the duties Of thai
Office for the past two years, his com petency
and his worth as man, lead us to hope
that no candidate may be offered against
him.

The Latest

The anticipated attack on Washington
was not made yesterday On the contrary,
the main body of the rebel forces fell back
towards Manassas Nevertheless, an at
tack at some point on our lines is expected
within forty-eight hours. For our part,
We doubt the soundness Of the theory of an
attack upon Washington at present. The
rebel movements are more likely feint to
cover designs upon Maryland and to pre-
vent reiniprcements to Gen. Rosencrans. A
few days will disclose the truth.
A naval officer, arrived at Washington
yesterday, says that an immediate attack
on Newport News was ANTICIPATED. Sew
eral war vessels were there to assist in the
defence.
The Richmond papers of the 18th inst.
state that a vessel had arrived at New Or
leans, under British register, with 1000
muskets and lbs rifles.
The political prisoners recently made in
Baltimore have been sent to Fortress Mon

give letter from Archbishop Hughes of
New York, in reply to one written by
Bishop Lynch, of South Carolina, on the
war aud future policy.
We commend the letter of Archbishop
Hughes to cur readers as one of the ablest
and truest statements We have yet seen
relative to the condition of affairs. 1t pre-
sents facts that cannot be gainsaid, and
indicates the proper course for Northern
men to pursue in the unfortunate disasters
that have fallen upon our nation. Like all
the productions which eminate from that
distinguished theologian on political affairs,
it is filed with the most lofty and patriot,
sentiments of devotion to Country and de-
votion to the Union.
