CANDIDATES FOR STATE OF

Numerous gentlemen, of undoubted at
tainments, and uusulied Democracy. have
been named for the different offices TO be

pie whose servants they are If elect

been freely spoken of in connection with
the Treasurershlp. His claims were set
forth in cur columns last week, by "Old

OF all connected in ANY way with the Insti-
tuition, as well as the cordial endorsement
OF the people throughout the State. He
was removed from the position he had SO
long and SO honorably filed, to make
room for Republican partisan, with nc
superior qualifications or experience. The
Doctor has been tried, and is known &c

The Times publishes an interesting
statement. made by Lieut.. Hurd, of the
Second Maine Regiment, who was woun-
dec and taken prisoner at Bull Run, aud
has recently been released. He, together
with Col. Corcoran and some 500 others,
were confined in the Charleston Jail at the
time Of The great conflagraLioD there, and
they only escaped from the Jail. which was
burnt, by leapiug from window, no effort
being made to save them BY the Charles
tonians.
Col. CArcoran, Lieut.. Hurd believes,
escaped during the confusion, az he ex-
pressed his determination to try to reach
Beaufort or the North, and has not since
been heard from.
According to Lieut. Hurd's representa-
ton, the national prisoners now in. the
