The reader will notice in our advertising
columns the call for county Temperance
convention, to be held in this place the l3.h
of February. We call the attention Of tie
friends of temperance to the notice for the
reason that there is to he q nomination of
candidate for temperance commissioner, and
it is importan, that they should take the mat
ter into consideration SO that suitable per
son may be nominated, and one whose nom-
nation shall meet with the appreciation of ,i.,
friends of the cause in the county.
We have had snow storm almost daily
during the month of January, though in the
aggregate We have had but about two fee.
and a half of snow I; but this amount on top
of nearly two feet which fell in December
makes generous supply-too much to DO
heavy tean.ing to advantage. On Wednes-
day night of this week We had one of those
real old-fashicned elbows" such as piles the
snow up on the high lands in drifts from ten
to twenty feet deep. We have heard il MEL
toned that it should be the duty of highway
surveyors to pillow out the roads after every
snow storm, with a harrow-shaped scraper, 10
the width of ten feet. 1t is good suggcs-
ton, and some such measure We hope to SEE
adopted.

We are happy to announce that present
indications denote very .arge, enthusiastic
and successful convention. The friends Of
music in this place have long wished for an
opportunity to avail themselves of the valu-
able instructions of Mr. Root, and now tina.
his services have been secured, We ear
nestly advise all who feel an interest in i'm
proving our church music, whether connected
with choirs or not. to attecd all the exercises
of the convention. We have not learned
the particulars in regard to the concerts, bat
feel 70 hesitation in Saving that We shall
have some very fine music. 1t is quite prob
able that the programme on Thursday even
ing will be mainly made up of secular music,
introducing some solos, Duets, trios, quar-
tets and chOruseS; and that of Friday even
ing will undoubtedly contain some choice
gems of sacred music in addition to the
grand choruses by several hundred well
trained voices under the control of Mr. Root.
The convention will open at the South
Church, Oh Tuesday morning the 9TH.

that the Society thought that the committee

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette
proposes to use the Wnans steamer to REIN
force Fort Sumter. This vessel is built of
iron, is immensely strong and attains a high
rate of speed. She has capacity for all that
is required III men and supplies. She obeys
the helm like thing of life /; has very light
draught of water, and any pilot, as we'll &C
qualnted with the harbor of Charleston as
the writer IS with those of several Eastern
cities. could take her straight to her destina-
ton, without the aid of buoys to guide, or
! lighthouses to warn him. The hour of twi-
light would carry her safely over the outer
bar, and, for the rest, she would need only
the stars of heaven. The chances of injury
from the enemies batteries would be greatly
lessened by the absence of daylight; but if
this De indispensable, the danger of mishap
must be very slight for a cannon ball must
, strike her exactly amidships (the location of
her peculiar propeller,) or on the precise line
OF her axis-otherwise the shot would glance
as harmless from the side as hailstones from
housetop."
A letter from Capt Doubleday, now on du-
ty in Fort Sumter, dated the 10Th, says -
wv lille the leaders are becoming more pacific
the mob is becoming more outrageous and
ungovernable. The country people, who
never saw gun or fort, who have no edu-
cation and own but little property, are raving
mad to attack this fort We may be too in
credulous, but we feel no apprehension, and
DO not believe it can be taken. The mob are
camorous to attempt it, at the very moment,
as said before, when the leaders would ra-
Their hold Oft as the more polite course. Day
before yesterday they landed two or three
mortars at Cummings Point, on the nearest
point of land for attacking the fort"

Cry CONvENrIoN.-By the notice in to-

days paper it will be seen that City Caucus, for
the purpose OF nominating city officers, Mayor,
Recorder, and Clerk, has been called. Each
Ward is entitled to fifteen delegates there being
four Wards in the city under the operation of
the late amendment to the city charter, (which
We publish in this weeks paper,) the City Cau-
Gus will consist of GO delegates. A new Ward,
the fourth, having been created lately, has no
Ward Committee. II is to be presumed that the
leading Republicans of the fourth ill see to it,
that their Ward Caucus is properly called and
delegates chosen. Would it not be advisable for
the various Ward Committees to call Ward eau
cuses early next week? We hope to see full
City Convention, and live Republicans put in
nomination for the city Offices. Every Republi-
can has duty to perform-it does not argue

that, with al his buster, Tennessee could, if so
disposed, subdue the whole c0ttonocracy in
short time. He calculates now on the soldiers

ish purpose Of breaking up this glorious govern

He Is proud and as vain as Beezebub. He
thinks that he holds the kingdoms of the world
and the powe thereof" in the hollow Of his
hand. He is looking for the English govern

There is no use in soothing our people any

How, in the name Of high Heaven, can a man
be patient when tratorous flag il fiounted in
our face? when a traitor comes TO our very bOr-

He talks of sacking cities. Vile rebel! In
