j ndicial Nominations.

Gt'' The proceedings Of lie Judicial
Convention held in this place on Wednes-
day last, will be found elsewhere. The
Nominations were made with unanimity
and cordially, the feeling seeming TO be
that the proposed nominees were in every
essential worthy of such an expression
of the confidence Of the people of the
District.
The candidate for Judge, JAMES BURT,
Esq, is an old and respected citizen Of
Dubuque County, a lawyer of reputation
and ability, and one of the most popular
men in the City Of Dubuque. His speech
in response to his nomination was really
a fine effort, discussing, as it did, the
general principles underlying the great
contest now going forward in this coun-
try. 1t was calm, logical, earnest re-
view of causes and consequences, and
enforced the duty Of sustaining the GOV
eminent by clear exhibition of the
magnitude of the moral and political in
terests involved. Mr.. BURT's outspoken
Union sentiments present a broad con-
trast to the time serving, non committal
course of Judge WILSON, backed by a
nomination coming from a convention
which gave three cheers for the traitorous
MAHoNY. We want men on the bench
now who are not afraid to talk loyalty,
and who do not come presented for our
suirages by men SO deeply dyed with
traitorous sympathies as to cheer the man
immured in traitors cell.
GEORGE WATSON, of Delaware County,
the nominee for District Attorney, is a
good lawyer, and as man is honest,
earnest and positive. He Is popular
man in his own county, land will strength.
en- the ticket. His speech at the conven-
ton had the right ring, and had we the
room we should be glad to present some
of its points. We don't want a better
ticket than that presented, and we believe
1t presents elements of popularity that
will ensure its success by good major
lily.

Good for the Civilian.

Ig- Our neighbor has refused to put
MAHoNY's name at the head of its col

as follows:
D. A. Mahony has been nominated by the
Democrats of this District, for Congress.
This refusal of the Civilian to endorse
the old traitor does it infinite credit, and
we hasten to express our appreciation OF
the act. Now let our neighbor stand
there-the loyal men of the county will
stand BY it. We hope, too, it won't for

Latest War News.

Gen. Sigel captured 1000 rebel pris
oners on the 2 st. The rebels erected
bridge over the Rappahannock during
the night, and in the morning three rebel
regiments, after fierce cannonading,
rushed across. Sigel offered no opposi-
ton until they got across. when he open
ed fire on the bridge and soon demolish
ed it. a deadly fire of musketry was
then opened upon the rebels, and they
soon surrendered. Nearly 5000 are said
to have been captured, and about 400
killed and wounded. The enemy then
crossed at French's Ford, but BANKS
and RENO went 10 SIGELs assistance, and
the enemy were again repulsed.
Fort Donelson was recently attacked

Indian Massacres.

EE- The Sioux Indians have, from
some cause, becom enras ed at the
Whites in upper Minnesota, and have
fallen upon and massacred great mum
Der of them in the vicinity Of Fort Ridg-
ly. Tho village of New Ulm in Renville
County, on the Minnesota River, about
200 miles from its mouth, is the place
upon which the blow first fell, and al
other localities the work of murder, OF
torture, and of horror, has also been done.
1t is estimated that 500 persons have
fallen victims, but this is probably an
exaggeration. Troops have already
been sent into that region, but it seems
as if the Indians are in large numbers
and most determined.

The Nomination of ID. A. Wahouy,

&S- That the great mass of the old
Democratic party is loyal we have never
doubted and do not now doubt, but that
the present organization in this State is
controlled by as mean set of traitors as
ever went unhung, we have no more doubt
and have never failed to assert. Ii any
thing were wanting TO prove this before,
it has been supplied in the recent nomna-
ton for Congress of the traitor MAHoNY,
now immured in prison for his lraitorous
acts. This affront to the government,
this outrage upon the loyal sentiment Of
the country, was consummated by the
delegates Of the Democratic party at a
convention held at West Union last
Wednesday. But it was not done un-
questioned by great portion of the con
vention, and an expression of the disgust
which loyal Democrats everywhere feel
began al the moment when the act was
consummated, and in the body which
consummated it. The nomination was
conferred by only u majority, the vote
standing MAHoNY 52SS. CLARE 51h. The
convention refused to make the nomina
ton unanimous, and one delegate declar.
ed that he then and there absoved him.
self from the party forever.
The nomination falls with the chill Of
dissolution upon the masses of the party
here. They cannot now, if they would,
shut their eyes to the fact that the Brock,
inridse section of the party has taken
control of the organization, and are using
it for purposes of Southern sympathy
and support. They cannot fail to see
that the purpose of these men is to open
fire in the rear Of the soldiers who have
gone forth to fight the battles of our
country. They desire the election of
men to Congress who Will refuse to give
the administration appropriations for car
rying on this war. VALLANDIGHAM, the
high priest Of the party, boasts that he
has not voted for any army bill, or navy
bill, o. any appropriation bill for this
war. No man who has read Mr.. MAHo-
NY's paper, will doubt that he, too, if
elected, would oppose such bills. Give
Congress into the control Of these men,
and not a dollar would be voted for the
benef. of the soldiers in the field. and
the government would be forced to give
up the contest The men who put DEN
MS MAHoNY in nomination know well
that such would be his course, and it is
the course that they desire should be ia
ken. The men who, in that convention,
cast the vote OF Buchanan County for
MAHoNY, as effectualiy declared war up
on the government and upon the soldiers
who have gone out from among us, as if
they had taken up arms for JEFF DAVIS.
We know that in this act they outraged
the feelings and 8 .mpathies of the loyal
Democrats of this county, and we know,
TOO, that DENNIS MAHoNY can get no
support from these loyal men, On ev
cry hand we hear EXPLANATIONS of disgust
from old Democrats at this GROWING act
of iniamy and unless the current of opin-
ion changes wonderfully, DENNIS will
remain in a dungeon until the last trump
sounds, before the Democracy Of this
district vote him out.
