call last evening from COL Paine of the
Goth Illinois, who is now paroIed prison

famous surrender of Harper's Ferry.
The Colonel protested strongly however
with Gen. Miles against that disgraceful
course. He was wounded in that fcht
four times, and has been wounded seven
times IN al, in his Eastern service. He.
acted once or twice as spy, and render
cd our army in this connection essential
service. Col. Paine was classmate of

he little dreamed he should ever meet

they thare sustained to each other. He
is impa'itn, to be exchanged and get back

haps the largest delegated body ever assembled
in the State. Ii was made up of the solid and

forth in the published proceedings, is clear, ex-

adopted suits admirably, and upon it We can

RESOLUTIONS OF THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
We publish to day the resolutions adopted by
the Democratic Convention held on the Sth Of
January. We can not see any fault that Dem.
ocrat can find with them.
There appears to be disposition on the part
of some OF the Douglas papers to find fault with
the action of the Convention. They denounce
the Convention as a Bright concern &c. In ma
king this charge, they show one of two things,
that they are either very ignorant very dshon-
est; tor every man put in nomination supported
Douglas. Now if the Convention had been a
Bright affair, would they have taken all the can
dida,es from the Douglas ranks!
The object of the Convention was to reunite
the Democratic patty in Indiana The Conven-
ton very properly left Bright and Wright to take
care of themselves, and made ticket that both
wings of the party can unite upOn.-Ordnge Co.
