COL, j. MCLEOD MURPHY.

If there is mxa in nomination for Congress
who especially deserves election, 1t is Col. J.
Mcleod Murphy. Look upon this portrait Of
the sailor-soldier, as drawn from life by Samuel
Wilkeson, ore Of our war correspondents 10 tho

charged with the we-beng and efficiency Of
thousand men. See how conscieDtiousiy aad
thoroughly he did his duty-and say il any
constituency on this continent might not b
proud, as it would be Fortunate, to commit it
interests to bis represeD alton. A Wax Demo-

suppression Of tie Rebellion, and commends
himself as q candidate for Congress by ais rare
knonledge Of Che wants Of tho soldier and tho
interests Of the service:
