make an extract from the letter. giving the
particulars of his sufferings and death. It

parted this life to-day at ten minutes past
eleven O'Clock. Mr.. Trask was wounded at
the great battle near Springfield. Aug. 10th.
with two severe wounds, either of which
was sufficient to kill man of less nerve and
spirit. He must have suffered intensely
during the period he lay in hospital. and
yet he bore all his pain patiently, and without
murmurihg. AS often as could find time.
sat by his bedside and conversed with
him, in order to assist him in willing away

"All that could be done was done TO save
him; but be had been wounded in an artery

The Fremont Cons en,ion.

The mass, "a perish party, perish clam
convention at Fremont, on Saturday last,
did not amount to as much as its gstters-up
anticipated it would. We learn from relia-
bic sources that only about dozen persons
participated in the proceedings, while there
were only thirty five or forty persons pres
emit. They nominated a full ticket, and a
good one, in most instances; but so far as
the ''faction" cry is concerned. it is fully
as applicable to the ticket there nominated
as to the one put in the field by the former
convention, They gave as reason, fol-
getting up this mass convention, that there
had been too much "skullduggery used
in getting up the delegate convention; but
still they sanctioned its action, by nominat-
ing a portion of the same ticket as that
nominated by the delegates. One of the
Fremont nominees-that for County Treas
urer-repudiates the action of the conven-
ton, by announcing himself as Republi-
can candidate elsewhere; while we under
stand that several other gentlemen will not
accept the places for which they have been
put in nomination. There are several men
on the ticket whom we would like to see
hold office, but under the circumstances we
are inclined to think the former ticket will
be elected. Taken as a whole, there is very
little objection to it. -,sr.-...rr
Our county politics have got considerably
mixed mp. Hereafter, we hope to see the
independent system adopted in our county
elections. It will be more satisfactory to
the people.
