Peoples County Convention.

Our readers will notice in our columns
a call for County Convention without
distinction of party, to be held at Charles
ton on the 9th inst, for the purpose OF
making nominations for the legislature
and county Offices. There appears TO be
very general concurrence of citizens of
all parties who are in favor of the maintain
ance of the authority of the Government
and the integrity of the Union, by vigor-
GUS war measures, in favor Of this move
ment. 1t is movement which accords
entirely with our desire and convictions
under the circumstances, and one which
we should be glad to see extended by mu-
tual arrangements, SO as to secure the
the most overwhelming defeat to the peace
plotting aiders and abettors of treason,
whose course is calculated to bring dis
grace and ruin upon the country
We most cordially support the senti-
ment Of the Crittenden resolution which
received the almost unanimous sanction
of Congress at its recent session, THAT
the present deplorable war has been forced
upon the country by the disunionists of
the Southern States now in arms against
the Government and hold with Doug
las that it becomes the loyal people of the
Union ITO cease discussing party issues,
make no illusions to old party tests, have
no examinations and determinations, in
dulge in no taunts one against the other
As to who has been the cause of these
troubles but, Npresent united front
in support Of our country" And we are
now willing to unite with all who, in the
spirit OF these counsels, are ready to raj
ly to the support Of the Administration
under the lead of Dickinson and Holt, of
Butler and Dix, and of Mcclellan and
Fremont.
We do not call upon Democrats to be
Republicans, nor do we propose to turn
Democrats ourselves, but recognizing that
il is bad policy for patriotic citizens to en-
gage in party strife under the range OF
the enemy's guns, we call on all to unite
: in the cause OF our common country. In
this spirit, and for the purpose of bear
ing unmistakable testimony to friend and
foe alike, of the earnest and oyerwhelln-
ing, patriotic enthusiasm of the people OF
Lee county, we hope that all who love
their country and mean to maintain he,
integrity and honor, will be on hand a,

ct, now visible in our hemisphere
is, 30 for as we can judge, the same
that visited Europe during the
troublous times of Charles XII,
and again during the terrible Con-
tinental struggle of 1872. We have
watched its hourly and rapid pro-
gress, from the time it first became
visible with the naked eye after
sunset, until its brilliant nucleus is
submerged beneath the horizon.
It's position is North; its motion
from northwest to northeast, and
when the nucleous is on the verge
Of the horizon, the tail extends to.
the zenith. 1t may be seen late in
the evening, to the east of the con-
stellation Ursa Major, its hazy tail
crossing Cassiopeia, Ursa Minor,
Draco, &c. These are the outlines
Of the observations we have been
able to make with the naked eye
but as We are only from England,
and under six months q of Amer
lean age, our remarks may be worth
nothing.

nS~ AcC1DENT.-On Monday af-
ternoon, a horse belonging to a Mr..
Henderson, broke loose from a plow
and ran at a furious speed through
Eaton. At the corner of Baron
and Main streets, its foot became
entangled with a part of the har-
mes and fell, breakingits foot above
the fetlock. AS we do not rejoice
at broken limbs or shattered brains,
we are very sorry that even a horse
should so suffer.
