COMMUNICATED

Mr.. Editcr:-In the Democratic Con-
vention, on Saturday last, after the can
didates had teen selected, the gentle
man nominated as a candidate for Rep
resentative to the Legislature, gave US
an address in which he was understood
to state, as an evidence of his life long
Democracy, that many years since he
had received an Abolition bump, the
marks of which remained, which he
should carry with him to his grave
Now as this bump is to bear an impor
tant part in the political contest, and as
the Union candidate, Or. Tiffany, can
exhibit no such evidence of ability to
represent US in the next Legislature,
it becomes important to ascertain more
about that significant bump. Will you
or your correspondents let the public
know when and where that bump was
given? Was the gentleman who re-
ceived it engaged in a lawful calling
when it was inflicted, or did he place
himself in circumstances to merit chas
tisement?

are generally non-c combatants, many Of
them take no part in elections-a large
number Of them are Of the Quaker per-
suasion. 1t, therefore, may be that the
aforesaid bump is not an Abolition
bump at all. On all these questions
we wish for information before We cast
our votes. MANY CITIZENS.
The above communication was handed
to US by gentlemen Of the highest re-
spectability. Being unable to give any
light upon the subject, We place it upon
record, and will publish any respectful
communication which may elucidate the
mystery.
But may not our correspondent be
laboring under misapprehension of
the meaning of the language of the
Hon. Mr.. Peoples? We heard the
speech, and confess we did not know
what ideas the gentleman wanted to
convey. He said she had been charged
with being an Abolition" But he
stated distinctly, that he was not an
"Abolition. Now it may be, that it
was when he was charged with being
an "Abolition," that he received the
''bump." And it is not impossible
but that the "Abolition" ard grammar
were both knocked out of HIM at the
same time. We Will take his word for
it, that he is not an "Abolition, and we
tender his speech as conclusive, that
whatever else may be in that ''bump,'
there is plentiful lack Of good English.

B9%A communication on the subject
of Temperance will be found in our col
umns to-day. 1t would be we'll for the
friends of good order, to remember that
intoxication is likely to destroy more of
our young men than the bullets of the
Rebels. There never was time when
the friends of humanity needed to be
more earnest in the work of benevolence
than now. Unusual temptations are
besetting our young men, and many of
them will fall unhappy victims to the
fell destroyer. One of the sadest re-
suits of the war will be the wreck of
character, by many who have enlisted
in the cause of their country with the
noblest impulses. Kindly, affection
ately, but earnestly, should every friend
of humanity exert his utmost influence
to save our noble youths from the
tempter's snares.

Letter From & Volunteer.
SPENCER, Roane Co., Va,
Sept. 19, 1861.


Editor Telegraph: - Thinking that
perhaps some of your readers would like
to hear from the Moigs County boys sta
toned at this place, l take the liberty of
sending you these few lines.
Companies A. c. L. and F. have been
stationed at this place for nearly three
weeks, and during that time have been
scouting through the surrounding coun-
try, taking some prisoners, and few
horses.
But few of the prisoners are willing
to take the oath of allegiance, and are
kept confined.
The boys, as general thing, are we'll,
and, notwithstanding hardships, are in
good spirits, their chief desire being to
get shot at Secesh. But in this they
are apt to be doomed to disappointment,
as tie enemy is very careful to only get
close enough to fire at our picket guard
and then run.
There has been but one instance in
which they have not got out of the
way before the guard could return the
fire, and that occurred on last Saturday.
The circumstances are as follows: A
corporal in Co. F., after stationing his
guard at their posts, had wandered out
side Of the lines, a few rods, when he
was considerably surprised to see man
jump out Of the bushes, short distance
from him, and bring his gun to an aim.
At first the corporal started to run, but
thinking that Uncle Sam had furnished
him a musket, and as he had it along
with him, he thought he had better use
it. He therefore wheeled, and brought
the musket to bear upon the stranger,
when he in turn started to run, taking
his course through a cornfcld. At this
the corporal commanded him to halt
four times; he not paying any attention
to the command, he took deliberate aim
and fired, killing the man instantly. By
the description given of the appearance
and dress of the man shot, it is supposed
that he is the leader of band of des-
per;does, that travel through the woods,
making it their business to attack small
parties of Union men, and to shoot their
piekets whenever an opportunity offers.
The country through portion Of
Western Va, and especially where we
are, is so mountainous and unsettled
that it gives such parties of Rebels all
advantages, and it will take something
Of force to get them closed out.
We do not expect to stay here much
longer, but cannot tell where our desti-
nation will next be. Wherever i. is |
feel assured that our boys will show by
their actions, that like all other Union
soldiers, they are not to he fooled with,
and that where they are, Traitors cannot
stay. Your Respectfully,
WM. NJ. HoyEY.

Another Convention.

We see by the posters just out, that
another convention is to be held at the
Court house, on Saturday. The call
has the ring of true mettle, and is signed
by many good citizens. 1t is just such
call as we could have signed with real
pleasure, before the "Union" Conven-
ton of last week was held. But, at
this time, we confess we are in the dark
as to its necessity or objects. We can
not doubt the motives Of many of the
signers, and should have been pleased
if we could see the reasons which justify
another convention for the nomination
of another ticket. We see among the
names several who took an active part
in the Union Convention of the 18th,
and afterwards in the Democratic Con-
vention of the 21st. OF course they
have right, in free country, to keep
on until they get one that suits.
We were present but shors time
during the session Of the Union Con-
vention But it seemed to US that it
was one of the largest and best conven-
tions ever held in the County. Nor had
we heard that there was any serious dis
satisfaction with its proceedings. Of
course, where there were several candi-
dates for each Office, all could not be
nominated. But we are free to say that,
ignorant of any unfairness in the pro-
ceedings of the Union Convention, while
We impeach no ones motives, we do not
see the good which is to result from an
other ticket. Perhaps if we were ad
vised of the reasons influencing those en-
gagged in this movement, we mi yht think
differently.
Personally, we have nothing at stake
in the result of any of the Conventions.
We are not candidate for any Office
And, politically, We have no possible
preju dice against this movement. We
were quite willing to forego any party
advantage for the sake of cordial u.ion
of ali patriotic citizens upon common
platform and common ticket. We
hoped that this object was substantially
secured by the action of the people of
the County through the Union Conven
ton. And, although we were not a
member of the convention, and it did
not, in all its nominations take those
who would have been our first choice,
yet they are all competent to fill the
several Offices for which they are named,
and having sanctioned the call, We feel
bound, in honor and good faith, to sup
port the ticket, unless some fraud or
unfairness is shown. If either can be
made manifest, we will support this
movement with will.
But, as at present advised, we can
not but regret the call for another Con-
vention as tending to SOW discord among
the true friends of the country, and de-
feat the very object which all such must
have in view.

g9 By request, we publish the card

gay By request, we publish the card
of Patrick Murdoch, Esq, Of Vinton
County, announcing himself as an inde-
pendent candidate for Senator. Mr..
Murdoch was Senator four years ago,
elected by the Democratic party. We
understand he is Democrat yet, but
does not desire a nomination by the
party now. This is no doubt a wise
conclusion, especially if he can induce
the party to vote for him without
nomination But we doubt whether
they will do that, and if not, our friend
Murdoch has no show. We have no
right to doubt the patriotism of Mr.
Murdoch. His card reads very WE'LL
But, as it is chiefly quotation from
the celebrated Crittenden resolution,
passed almost unanimously by Con-
gress, we would have liked it better if
he had not, by oversight or otherwise,
left out that important part of it, which
says-"Ihc present deplordble ci0I aodr
has been forced upon the country by the
Disunionists Of the Southern States noao
in revoh against the Constitutional Co..
ernnent, and IN arms around the Capital" !"
Now our friend Murdoch will permit
US to say, that it does look queer that he
should leave out that part of the reso-
luton which we have under-scored and
should only quote SO much of it as is
seemingly indorsed by the Vallandigham
Convention. If Mr.. Murdoch was a
candidate before Convention of that
wing Of his party which supports the
Jewett State ticket, We could very we'll
understand the omission. But coming,
as he does, before the people as an an
dependent candidate. we think he owes
the Independent uoters an explanation
And, SO far as the Telegraph is concerned,
our columns are open for him to make
it. We believe in fair play, and no
lodging.

B@- By special request, we publish

BY special request, we publish
the names of Hon. John Weleh, of
Athens, and Hon. Simeon Nash, of
Gallia, as independent Union Candi-
dates, for the office of Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas. We have
heard of no motion toward a Conven-
ton of any party to nominate candi-
date for Judge, and presume there will
be none. In view of this fact, the
friends of the gentleman named, have
respectively presented their names to
the people for their sufrages.
If there should be no other candi-
dates, there will be no danger of bad
choice. Judge Nash has occupied the
seat for ten years, and is so we'll known
that word in his commendation would
be useless. The people all know him,
and if they desire his further services,
they have but to express it at the polls
Mr.. Welch is also well known to all
our citizens as an able lawyer and an up
right man. That he would grace the
position, if elected, no one who knows
him, as #e do, will, for a moment dis
pute.
Each of these gentlemen have their
friends, and we presume very large
majority of the voters in the District
are the friends of both. AS the contest
now stands, political considerations can
not enter into the canvass. We do not
know that they differ at all in their po-
itieal views. They are both earnest,
ardent, Union men, who will, if elected,
give, not only their personal, but their
official influence to the support of the
Union, the Constitution, and the Laws.
With either Of them on the Bench, the
rights of person and property will be as
secure as the faithful Administration of
the law can make them.
We hope, therefore, that without
bitterness, and in the absence of all un-
fair, or even unkindly efforts, every
citizen will cast his vote for the one of
his choice, with the comfortable assur-
ance, not always to be realized, that il
his choice is not the one elected, he has
still "modcl Judge
