hEssEs EDITORS Yesterday afternoon our town
was thrown into quite f;rmsnt by the appearance
in our waters Of a little steam tug descending h
river, bearing white flag at her jack staff. = cup
of blank cartridges were fred from ere CT cur at

little but came or down slowly.
Gen. Pillow and aid. and enc CT Gen. Folks aids
went out on the Equality to mes. the visitors The
senior officer on the tug announced that he was Col
BUPoRD Of the 27th Illinois Regiment, that he was
clasamate Of Gen POLK's, and bore to HIM commd-
nicstion Of humanity from Gen, &CCLERSAND. The
Federal officers, half dozen in number were inyi-

The meeting between him and Col GUgoED was very
cordial and quite affecting.

object of the visit was TO brig three men belong

have held as prisoners for nearly two months. A
few days since Gen. Polk cent IN embassy to the
comma rder at Cairo in relation TO an exchange Of
prisoners, but Gen GRANT declined to act upon it
without orders from higher authority. 1t seems
that the In coin administration are yet unwilling
to acknowledge us as beligertnts, therefore they
adopted the ccurse they pursued yesterday, which
was to Internationally release our prisoners.

State Convention--Also Assem-
bly, District Conventions.
The Seate Central Committee Of th

The Seate Central Committee Of the
Republican patty of Wisconsin have or
deFed the holding Of a State Convention
at Madison on Wednesday the 25th Of
September, for the purpose Of nominating
candidates for such State offices as age 10
be elected this fall
The State Central Committee have
further ordered that each Assembly Dis
trict III the State will be entitled to two del
egates in sad State Convention.
They also recommend the holding Of
Assembly District Conventions in all Az
sembIy Districts on or before Saturday tile
4th Of September TO elect such delegates.
AS the old Assembly Districts are done
away with, and as matter Of course the
Assembly District Committees appointed
last year have no power to act Or possess
doubtful powers at best, we offer few
thoughts on the course to lie taken to re-
! organize under the new apportionment Of
Assembly Districts:
The County Central Committee APP
pointed last year consists Of John G. Clark,
| G.. H. Laughton, s. L. Lewis, Mills k.
Young and c. K Dean. 1t will be no
ticed that one Of these gentlemen resides
IN each Of the present Assembly Districts,
except that John O. Clark and G. H. Dean
are absent in the war-thus, leaving Bos-
cobel and Lancaster Districts without any
Committeeman; but their places should be
Immediately filed by Messrs. Laughton,
Lewis and Young; and as the name Of
Mr.. Laughton aceurs first % the list, next
after the name Of Clark, let him act as
Chairman Of County Central Committee,
and let him fill the vacancies occasioned
| 10y the absence of Dean and Clark.
Thus organized, let mass meetings be
held on the l4th Of September III each
Assembly District at some public place
designated by the resident County Central
Committeeman, lie also designating tile
time of day for holding convention and af-
forwards being present to c.ll conyentionto
order.
| AT such District Conventions, Central
] Committees may be chosen, and any other
work WHICH may come within legal bounds.
| AS the time is short, We hope prompt
action viii be t.iken, especially by County
! Central Committee, more especially by
Mr. Langlton, whose place will be to act
as Chairman of that committee.

Hastings Letter.

On the first page Of our paper will be
found the letter OF State Treasurer Hast
ings, being an argument for the acts o the
Loan Commissioners in selling the State
war Bonds to the Banks. We donot pub
lisb the letter because we agree with the
able Treasurer in all his paper logic, but
because II is able and pres hts the financial
policy Of our State which mist be followed
out for years and years; the people Of the
State are now in partnership with the
Banks and must make the best Of it until
such time as a disoree can be had. Treas
urer Hastings deserves much credit for
making the match and experimenting the
nuptials. We hope be may he reelected
to his present Office that be may superin-
tend the work Of which he is the chief
architect. We long hoped that an oppor-
tupity might soon arise for popular vote
for and against Banks and Banking Laws;
but the day Is past, We tliihk, ana the OPP
poitunity far in the future Nhen Banking
Laws can be repe'led by Legislatures and
people. 1t may be that an anti-bahk ma
joriIy of people and hard money Execu-
tive lead and legislature 10 match m fol-
low very soon, though we Gan hardly ex-
poet it as the Banks are cutie certain TO
conduct themselves quite yirtuously for
some years after their marriage with the
