~ Clagett was the committee man
from this township in the Charleston
Convention, who chose the delegates to
the State and Congressional Conventions
Let loyal Democrats look over that list
of delegates, and they will learn how
strong an infusion of sympathetic treason
is thought necessary to give fair express
sion to the views of the party.
There are several notorious sympathi-
zers put on as delegates from this town
ship, and there seems to be an equal pro-
portion from other townships, 30 far a.
We know them.

Richmond.
New York, July l.

The Tribune's TT. Monroe correspond
emf Of the both states that the gunboats
in the James river had established com
mnnication with Gen. McClellan's left
wing.
Dispatches to flag officer Goldsboro on
Monday are said 10 state that the rebel
attack on our right was Q desperate affair,
in which the rebels lost 5000 men. Our
loss Was heavy. Gen. Stoneman being
cut of from the right had rstreated to
Yorktown, and arrived at Fl. Monroe.
We understand that on his left McClel-
Ian with severe fighting had passed
through White Oak Swamp with 10000
men and 1000 pieces of artillery to se-
cure an advantage Of position, and had
subsequently, cut through line Of com
nunication with the James river. 1t is
reported that during the two days fight
ing McClellan's loss was 10000.
Col. Alexander had come through to
James river TO select the new base, and
Turkey Bend had been decided on. This
is about 80 miles from Richmond and 10
miles above City Point.

The notorious Jim Lane, Of Kansas, who is
furiously for stealing negroes, as well as for
Cameron's policy of arming them, in a speech
at Washington City the other day, illustrated his
position as follows;
I won quite a reputation when l went to
school, as afghting boy. Every Saturday night
| we " fought out" ] was within one of the head,
but the champion, Joe DarTah, was a great hulk
of a fellow, weighing twice as much as L did,
and as strong as An OK, and | couldn't whip
him, at fair play. Ours was the rough and tum-
bic style. I knew ! could whip him if l waited
to grow, but my reputation demanded that l
should do it then. So l watched for a bile to
come, or something to happen that would give
me the advantage. One day 1 heard that Joe
had been in a swimming, and had cut his leg
below the knee. SO | went up 70 him and got
him to show me the exact spot. ] kept quiet,
and when Saturday came, / was ready to fight
him. Joe struck out at me ! lodged bis heavy
blows, and went in and kicked him on the shin.
Great ~laughter.) He beloved like a calf and
cried enough! (Laughter) We are now at
war with the South, and l am in to whip. Voice,
4" Hi him on the bruiSe ." Immoderate laughter
long eontinued.)
The Cincinnati Commercial publishes the above
and then puts it to Jim Lane in the following
pertinent style
But, Senator Lane is the rebellion &" a great
hulk Of a fellow, weighing twice as much as
the government Would you have kicked Joe
upon the bruise if you had been a great hulk Of

From RouIinR Green.

The correspondent of the Nashville Union
writes under date of the lst inst. from Bowling
Green as follows:
Gen. Johnston has called upon the provision
al government of Kentucky for a levy of sc, 1000
men, of whom 25,G00 are to be entered into the
infantry, and 5000 into the cavalry service, for
one or three years.
A legion to be used for the purpose of enfore-
ing State laws, the collection from county Off
GERS of the State revenue, and for police pUT-
poses, is also to be formed and placed under the
direction Of the Governor. The State troops,
whenever two or more brigades have been re-
ceived, viii, it is understood, be placed under
command of Col. VIM. Preston, late u. S. Min
lister to Spain, who is to receive the appointment
of maior-general. The levy Of troops called for
will, when formed into companies and regiments,
be transferred 20 the Confederate service, and the
legion act in the capacity stated.
Gov. Johnson viii at once issue his proclama-
ton in pursuance of the call made upon the
State, and will arm all who may offer themselves,
either with shot guns or rifles.
ciana, near Mayfeld, Kentucky, arrived here
yesterday. 1t is one Of the largest and most
effective in the service.
Gen. Floyd's brigade, from Virginia, are, upon
arrival, to be stationed at Scottsville, about
twenty-five miles from this place, and equal
distant from Gallatin, on the line of the L.. g. n.
railroad, at which place they viii debsrk.
Gen. Hindman is still falling back. There are
no Federals, with the exception Of a few scouts,
this side of Green river. All is quiet above.

GEN. FLOYD's CoMMAND.-This splendid
corps, recently transferred from Western Vir
ginia to Kentucky, is thus deservedly coiupli.
mented by the Richmond Examiner:
And, really, that army of the Kanawha de
serves the high commentators bestowed upon il
by its general. 1t has been underline more than
any other corps Of equal size in the Confederate
service. 1t has performed much hard marching,
and from its active movements has endured many
privatiOns and hardships. 1t is certainly q high
need Of praise which it now receives from the
government, through the mouth Of its general,
that its demands upon the government have
been few and frugal, and that it has encountered
every ~priyatiOn without a mUmu It's bravery,
too, has been tried in the fiery furnace; it has
stood the seveTest tests. If hard fighting is to
be done in Kentucky, this veteran corps OF Vr-
ginians and Mississippians viii give new proof
of ValOr and prOWess.
