A Word to DELEGATES.

To hs Editors Of he Daily Press:
This evening the delegates for the Union
Convention will be chosen.
1t is possible the entire county ticket as
nominated by that Convention may be
elected. 1t is probable that, in the close
communion OF the primary meetings the
delegates will all be more or less committed
to certain individuals for the different offices
to be filled.
Therefore, suggestion to delegates might
be, th's morning, especially in place.
AT no time, perhaps, has the public ex-
pected from any body of electors ticket so
well composed as they will demand from
this Convention. Entirely freed from party
trammels, asking of candidates only the DO
litical qualification of stanch Union senti-
ments, it is presumed that the different nom
inees Yill be, in other endowments, es-
pecially fhtted for the positions for which
they are presented.
We will instance, say, the County Treas
urer,. which, we believe, is considered in this
election the most important.
The County Treasurer is the banker, the
confidential clerk, to whom the whole county
conhdes the management and safety of all
lected for this place because he had been for
a long time either successful or unsuccess.
tul politician.
Inability to succeed in mercantile busi-
ness, is often no fault, and entitled to great
sympathy, but can scarcely be urged as a
recommendation to fnancier for a commu-
nifty. Even sudden and clamorous popular.
ity, founded in generous devotion to a good
and popular cause, must bring record of
stern virtues and capacities for this place of
trust.
The man who can point to his life of hon.
est industry, Of slowly-accumulated gains,
of proverbial credit and honesty, of known
ability to manage large sums and business to
advantage, should also be so old resident
among US that all may know his unques-
toned fitness, and for the nomination of
such man the public look to the present
Convention. UNION.

The NAVAL EXPEDITION Boston Id
pertiSer of Yesterday saws.

vertiSer of yesterday says:
The New York papers have entirely let the
cat out OF the bag as to the preparations now
cret was blown several days ago, and widely
published. Yesterday, too, the Tribune felt
that it committed mo improperly in an
nouncing that the preparations for two inn
portant movements against the Southern
coast are going rapidly forward, so that the
expeditions will be ready TO set sail within q
very few weeks" We believe, therefore,
that we commit no impropriety in recording
that General Butler is spoken of as likely Ia
command one of these expeditions, and Cen
eral Sherman the other. 1t is supposed that
twenty-five thousand men will be engaged.
The destination of these expeditions Is yet
a secret, and We trust will remain so, as in
deed the very fact of preparation should have
remained.

The Opposing Forces at WashIustou.

General Mcclellan is massing his troops in
perfect Gordon around our city. The new
regiments, as they arrive, are rapidly, silent.
ly and effectively disposed Of Having had
the advantage of excellent drill and disci-
pline in the reserve camps of their respective
States, they have reached here, with few ex-
ceptions, ready for all the privations of the
battle field. As write, competent authori-
ties have estimated that we have at least two
hundred thousand men, in an unbroken line,
within hail of our young chieftain. Well
supplied with all the munitions and means
of war connected with the loyal States by
thoroughly defended communications paid
regularly by a generous Government, and
lacking in none of the real necessarfes 20

striking and truthful contrast to the des-
perate and despairing, badly. clothed and
worse fed followers of the dangerous men
who stand opposed to them. The soldiers of
the Republic can afford to wait. Not so with
their adversaries. If the latter move upon
US they will be crushed, and, if they do not
move, their factions, their wants, and the

corrode their whole movement to the core.

SAEGUINARY AFFRAY.-A sanguinary af-
fray occurred last night, about halfpast
seven o'clock, at saloon, corner of Henry
and Race streets, in which knives were freely
used, and two men, Wilhelm Helper and
Henry Ackermann, received several gashes.
There were five or six persons engaged, and
as the melee was general, ii is impossible to
ascertain the origin of the difficulty, except
that the whole party were inebriated. The
knives were small, and the wounds inflicted,
though severe, are not dangerous.

UNION FEELING IN sEoEssIoNDox,

Though there was no public expression of
dissatisfaction yet, in the North Carolina regi-
ments, il was currently reported they were
almost ready to rebel. The effect of the Hat
teras Inlet victory had astounded the whole
army, and few more such successes on our
part would disorganize the rebel army. 1t
was everywhere admitted that defeat at
Manassas would have ended the rebe lion. A
great success attending our arms in Virginia
now would have the same effect.

THE AFFAIR AT HATTBRAs AND ITs Re-
sUITs.-The Norfolk Day Book OF Septem-
Der 2, says:
One of the boats employed to convey men
and guns to the coast of North Carolina re-
turned here this morning. She left there at
eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon.
1t is reported by one of the hands that the
entire Georgia Regiment, lately encamped in
rear of the Gosport Yard barely escaped be-
ing captured. 1t appears from his statement
that, ignorant of the progress which the en-
emy had made, they were making for one of
the forts in their possession, and would have
gone directly into their jaws had not
friendly boat, fortunately perceiving their
intension, warned them of their danger,
whereupon they turned back and landed on
Roanoke Island.
He further represents that the Confeder-
ates were about evaeuating Fort Oregon. It
had not been attacked, but the fact was so
apparent to the officers in charge, that they
could not possibly hold it against force so
superior in numbers to their own, that they
deemed it prudent to retire and yield the fort
without exposing their men to danger from
which no good could possibly accrue.
Roanoke Island, our informant states, is
now occupied by our forces; but it is feared
it can not long be held, as there are no forti-
cations there. Should the attack of the Fed
eralists, however, on the island not occur as
soon as expected, our troops will be better
prepared to resist them.

LAW REPORT.
COMMON PLEAS.


A CONFIDENCE GAME.-William Anderson
WAS placed on trial before Judge Collins,
charged With grand larceny.
Or: McGowan met the prisoner on Louis
vile boat-the latter representing himself as
a cousin of Major Anderson, and having a
good address, secured his confidence; and
when the boat arrived in Cincinnati he ac-
companied him to the Broadway Hotel, and,
in the course of the day, walked around the
city with him. Anderson induced him to
loan him $50, producing a bank draft which
he could hold for security, but subsequently
took back this "dratt," saying they could
both go TO the bank and get it cashed. On
the way, however, he went into the Walnut
street House on some pretense, and there Nc
Gowan lost sight of him.
Anders0ns attorney claimed that the in
dictment could not be sustained, as the ele-
ment Of grand larceny was wanting, the
prosecuting witness having voluntarily
parted with his money. Mr.. Kerr urged that,
Notwithstanding he may have voluntarily
parted with it (tbough he claimed, IN fact,
he had not), the prisoner having obtained
the money with intent to steal, could be con-
victed on this charge.
The Court took the question under advise
ment, and required counsel to furnish
briefs.
Nathan Noah was placed on trial on a
charge of grand larceny-appropria
property, to his own use, which had been
left for safe keeping by Mrs, s. Particle.
Case not closed.
