The regular Union Convention for the 10th
Congressional District convened at Toledo ON
Saturday last, and unanimously nominated Hon.
James NJ. Ashley for reelection. The Conven-
tion was large, and was composed of thorough,
honest, earnest Union men, and was characteri-
zed by great harmony and unanimity. Mr..
Ashley in accepting the nomination, made pa
triotic and eloquent speech. The right feeling
prevailed throughout, and no doubt was enter
tanned of Mr.. Asldeys election by large ma
jority.
We profess toTunderstand" what we are about
when we say that We consider Mr.. Ashley one
of the most able and useful members of the
present Congress. No man has worked harder
to procure the necessary legislation asked for
by the Administration to put down this febell-
ion. He has shown himself a true man and a
patriot, and has made record in Congress OF
which any one might feel proud. He has been
answering and unfinching in defending the
right, and has neither bent his back or crooked
his knee to the slave miuions of the South, or
their sympathisers in the North. He hassh
himself an honest man, and an ahonest man is
the noblest work of God" Let the I0thdistriet
doitsclfhonor by returning him to Congress by
a rousing majority.

Others, which infer. l know that he has
received an urgent letter from Mr.. Lincoln,
desiring him to return to Russia, and that

both his conversation and his actions that
he intends to first take turn with the sec
essionists, though that may leave the mis-
sion in the hands of Mr.. Cameron for a year
or so. He begins as a Brigadier, but if his
success equals his earnestness he will not
fail to take a larger command, unless the
purpose of Gen. Hslleck is to cripple every

Memphis, Aug. 2O.-Thirteen hundred guer.
rillas opposite Helena have burned 1000 bale,
of cotton and committed other depreciation.

1t is reported that Gen. Hindman's army il
moving West from Little Rock, the people along
the road going with the army, taking their ne,
groes and movable property.
While Gen. Hovey Division were returning
TO Helena from Clarendon, four men were killed
and several wounded by guerrillas. A large
amount Of property was destroyed by him.
Arefugee from the South furnishes the follow
ing, regarding Southern movements: General
Bragg IS at Chattanooga, and his next move seems
TO be Nashville, The report that a portion Of
Braggs forces were at Grand Junction is un-
founded. Up to Friday, there were none there
except scouting parties, which come almost daily
to take what they want, and then leave, Mound
Junction seems to be regarded by them as doubt
ful ground, hence they make arrangements tc
stay as short time aspossible.
