The LOuisville Journal, Of the 26th,
makes the following recommendation for
the holding of a Union caucus at Frank
fort;
IA suaGKsTIoN.- Undoubtedly some diff
ference Of opinion exists among the friends
Of the Union in this State in regard TO
various matters Of great Importance con-
nected with the condition Of Kentucky. Il
is highly desirable that the whole Union
party should be united in its course of
action and united on the most iudicious
course Of action. We can think of 10
means so we'll calculated to establish the
necessary unanimity as consultation be-
tween the Union members of Congress
from Kentucky and the Union members of
the Legislature. We, therefore, after q
consultation with those in whom we have
confidence, request that the Union Con-
gressmen will assemble in Frankfort on
Monday next, the I'd prOximo. Let them
meet with the Union Legislators in wise
and patriotic council, and consult in regard
10 every matter calculated TO effect the har-
mony OF the Union party

UNION CONVENTION.
To THE VorEHs OF euYAHodA coUSTI
WITHOUT DisT1xorIoH OF PARTY:

To THE VoTERs OF CUYAHodA COUNTY,
WITHOUT DISTINCTION OF PANTY:
The undersigned, Oitizsns Of CuyahOga
County, in view Of the call now made for q
Union Convention to be held at Columbus
on the fifth Of September, for the nOmina-
ton of State Officers, without reference to
party, in which call members of all pOliti-
cal organizations have cordially and ear
neslly united;
And believing that the time has come, if
ever q time can come in the history Of our
Government, when party and personal con-
siderations should be generously laid aside,
and the hearts and hands Of all loyal Citi-
zens be joined together in maintaining TEE
UNION, THE CONSTITUTION, and THE LAWS;
And believing, too, that whatever may be
the schemes of leaders, the sound sense
and true patriotism of the MASSES OF THE
PEoP1E have at once perceived and felt
that to permit the fires Of party strife to be
kindled at such time, would be to light
up the pathways of Treason and Rebellion,
while the true defenders Of the Govern
ment and the Country would be but blinded
and miSled
Therefore, we unite in a call for Union
Mass Convention of the County, to be held
at Cleveland, on Saturday the 3lst day of
August instant, without distinction OF party,
to appoint Delegates to the Union State Con
vention Of the fifth of September, and ear
nestly hope that each township and ward may
be so fully represented as to leave no doubt
that the people place higher value on the
Government hey inherited from their fathers,
and on the Cons tuition and the Laws they
have been taught to reverence and obey, than
upon any mere party organizations, which
may be well enought in time of peace and
prosperity, but seem utterly Insignificant and
out of place, in this or hour of National peril
and National disaster. Let the true friends oi
the GoveFnmentbe as united in their loyalty,
as the enemies of the Government are united
FIN their treason.
Each township and ward is requested To
be prepared to present the names Of two per
sons to serve on committee to nominate
delegates to the State Convention. L1a.s
For the purpose of selecting such persons
it is recommended that Township and Ward
Meetings of the voters, without respect tC
party, be held at the usual places of voting
on Thursday, the 10th inst at P. NJ. in the
Townships, and at q P. N. in the Wards.

A. W. Bradford, the Union candidate for
Governor of Maryland, nominated on the
18th inst, in his letter Of acceptance thus
places himself upon the unconditional
Union platform -
"Feeling, as have ever done, the clear
est conviction that all the interests Of
Maryland find their surest guaranty under
the Constitution Of the United States, the
fearful circumstances that now surround
US only enforce thEt conviction, and must
demonstrate to all that not merely these
ordinary interests, but the very sstyatiOn
of our State and her Immunity from the
devastatious Of civil war upon her OWE
soil, are all at this moment Intimately iden-
titled with the maintenance of that Oonsti.

engaged in defending it, sndlhe adherence,

search all packages and suspected bag

are Secession papers in the train, and u
so to seize them, and if any such Journals
should be found in the possession of any

t0n Wednesday last, the steamer Mohawk
brought the sloop Sloat, lately captured by
her, up 10 the outer buoy below st Marks,
where the crew of the steamer scuttled the

Fort Williams went to the sloop, and sue

Mr.. Adams, Minister to England, writes
that in the British mind the independence
of the rebels is fully admitted as q mill
tary and political necessity; that their sc-
acknowledgement by England is but ques-
tion of time and prudent courtesy; that
while Britain is impatisnt-to get cotton
from the South in exchange for mannfao-
tured goods, she is anxious not to lose
Northern markets, and is un willing to part
with her hope Of breaking down the Nor.
rill tariff by the same means with which
she chained the North with the Walker
tariff, and that two or three moro successes
like that Of Bull Run would ehtiGle the
slsveocracy to Immediate recognition.
The steamer jamestown, by rebel bap-
tism the Patrick Henry, is said TO have run
the blockade at Fort Monroe, and gone out
to sea on the night of the 18th. She is fast

MONTREAL, August 8, 1861.
Having seen several statements concern
ing the identity Of the privateer Sumter,
and knowing them to be incorrect, have
taken little trouble to obtain few par
ticulars about her which think will be of
interest to your many readers. The orig
iaLl name Of the ste4mer was the Colon and
she was built by William A. Cantin, At the
Montreal Marine Works, for Pedro Laoasse,
Havana. She was launched November 9,
1858, and sailed from Quebec on the 24th
Of November, 1868, for Cardenas. She is a
screw steamer Of 437 tons register, 184 feet
long, 80 feet beam, and Is feet depth Of
hold, and is rated as three masted brig
antine, being square rigged on her fore,
and fore and aft rigged on her main and
mizzen masts. She has two cylinders, each
so inches in diameter, with three feet
stroke. Her engines are nominslly Of l20
horse power, and her builder thinks there
are but one or two vessels in the American
navy that can outsail her. He named the
Iroquois as one. She was built for the
Havana and Mexican trade, but was soon
sold to Gen. Mirsmon, and known as the
Marquis de HGbana. Her subsequent ca
reer is too we'll known to need any notice,
/ have reserved the strongest proof of her
identity for the last While she was being
fitted out at New Orleans for her present
service, one Of Mr.. Cantin's men was on
board and saw the plate of the Montreal
Marine Works upon her engines.
