our statement. He resigned some two months
previous to Fisk, and was in Vermont at the

he went to Alabama, it was with no intention

that after receiving instruction at the Naval

A gentleman from Frederick says that on
Saturday at noon the advance of Col. Stone S
column was at the Point of Rocks, moving to-
wards Harper's Ferry, and one Of Gen, Patter-
sons columns had passed through Greencastle
in the same direction. No doubt was enter
tanned in the vicinity but that Harper's Ferry
would be occupied to-day by Government
troops.
Government has possession of the telegraph
and allows nothing relative to the movement
Of troops in that vicinity TO be sent.

and most enthusiastic Convention which has
been held in this State for long time. As
was expected there was some discussion. and
some little feeling manifested respecting the
true Interpretation to be put upon the call is
sued by the Republican State Committee,
and in pursuance Of which the Convention
came together; but we trust it will lead to
no division of the Republican party, but on
the other hand, that it will be strengthened
by the course taken by the Committee.

The Democrat learns from citizens of Lex

of the defeat of the State forces at Boonville
had told upon the secessionists of Lafayette
and the adjoining counties it also states
that the moderate secessionists Of Lexington
are now anxious to testify their allegiance to
the Federal Government.
The Mayor of Lexington, who is a violent
secessionist, has left the city, and his sue
eessor, a good Union man, proclaims his de-
termination to preserve law aud order, and
protect the rights of all classes of citizens, in
which he is sustained by the almost unanm-
Gus voice Of the people.
