The report was adopted, and the gsn tlemen
above named unanimously appointed.
Hon. Paul Dillinpham in response to an n-
visation from the President proceeded to address
the Convention.
He had been informed Of his nomination as
Lieut.. Governor, and though he had little more
to say than had every loyal man, yet he ielt the
anxious desire to say" Watchman, what of the
night " that agitated every doubtful heart,
but he believed he could further say, Behold
the night cometh and the day also ~
One year ago he had met with the loyal men
Of the State, who then ioresaw very little Of
the issues that were to be thrust VI pom Us, but
still they ana Vermont had been true TO their
duty. Since then the traitors have PUT forth
amos her ground of difference they af1ec. to
consider the present conhic. as war between
races,-that they ars the dominant Norman
race, who have once given laws and customs to
England, and who will now dictate naughty
terms to the straight forward and intellgen,
descendants of the Puritans.
lie was willing to accept their issue, even
upon these terms, and fight them, if need be
to the bitter end. If there was no other alter
native he would ex,erninate the braggarts o.
the South and populate their fair fields with 1
true Saxon race
He had little fear of foreign interference, bu
if England or Frame saw lit to interpose il
our cause, he would not abate one jot of gu,
prosenslons, but meet them face to face, and 2,

Capital of the rebels would fall before the
could be brought into lac field ; but he wishes
TO soon show 10 meddling foreigners 300 900 O
our stalwart non lnterventonsts
He desired to say that, though tho office t.
which he had been nominated was not of hi
seeking. yet it was an honorable Office and h
accepted it as II token OF the confidence whic
he felt that his fellow citizens entertained il
him. He said that his property, like the prop
crty Of all good citizens, was pledged to tn
support OF the Governm snt, and whenever
should call for d reg iment Of men from the age
OF 30 To % years, he was ready to start wit
the foremost.

General Hindman is now in the
military prison at Little Rock. He will
shortly be taken to Richmond.
Albert Pike has written long let
ter to the Arkansas Patriot, showing
up Hindman's course, and says while
in Memphis. Hindman went to the
banks of that city. under the assumed
authority of Beauregard, and made
them fork over q million of dollars for
operations in Arkansas, and after get
ting into that State he issued series Of
most extraordinary orders:
First. be declared martial law; next,
he had all the cotton seized for the
Confederate Government or burned;
next he ordered all provisions, of what
ever kind. likely to fall into Curtis
hands, to be destroyed. and ordered all
the wells in the country that Curtis
might pass through to be poisoned.
Finally, he refused to let any citizen
pass beyond the limits of Arkansas for
any purpose whatever.
A letter from below Apalschicols, OF
the 18th. reports that an expedition ol
boats. from the gun boats Sangamore
and Fort Henry, went up the river and
captured sloop with 80 bales Of cot
ton; not however, without a skirmish
with the rebels in ambush on the shore,
in which several Of our men were
wounded. The rebels had some killed
and wounded.
The rebel ram Chattshoochie, partly
iron-clad, is supposed to be about ready
for sea. She is expected down as soon
as there is seven feet of water at the
rivers mouth.
The gunboat Somerset had q boa

which several were wounded. The

They think so unquestionably. So
many boots were never before sold in
one day in GalIipolis. We trust the
poor fellows will feel the value of them,
on their long journey back to their
homes, and have enough of them left to
kick every "secesber" out oftheir State.

will be more attentive to them in future,
and that their love for him will not be
lessened.

Rheft, Of the same regiment. did not
obtain much publicity through The pa

the Mobile Advertiser. writing from
Charleston, says it is to be the subject
of legal investigation, the first case OF
the kind in the city courts for twenty
years. The letter says:
Besides the principals and their sur
geons, it is said there were six gentle-
men present at the meeting. three State
Senators, the Speaker of the House Of
Representatives of North Carolina, a
leading member Of the State Conven-
ton, and a captain. Two Of the Sem
tors also hold commissions as officers OF
the army, The arrangements Of the
meeting were conducted throughout

The quarrel which led to this unfortu-

as long ago as April, 1861, at the time
OF the bombardment Of Fort Sumpter

~If the hope Of the country be in
the rising generation, then it behoovss
all good citizens to see that the moral
culture and education of those compris-
ing that generation be not neglected.
The children under is years of age in
Gallipolis number probably 40o.- Of
this number but very few are going
to school. With one Of the largest and
best school houses in the State Of Ohio,
and fine academy building also, with
funds sufficient to pay competent teach
srs, who for months have been unem-
ployed, the children Of Gallipolis are as
completely cut of from all benefit there
Of as though they lived in the Southern
Confederaoy. The cause of al this. is
the military necessity" which existed
for occupying our Churches. school
houses and court house as hospitals
In the meantime, our youth are threwn
upon the street, where, laying aside the
danger to life and limb, from their
crowded state, and the constant rush ol
horsemen riding furiously, or teams
driving at a killing pace through them,
the examples ofintemperance, profanity,
&c., daily met with, are not well calcu-
lated to bring about high state Of
moral culture, or make them better 6t-
ted to become good citizens. The oc-
cupation of the "Kline House" in Point
Pleasant, as a hospital. may serve to
relieve us of the sick in the Union
School House, and afford the teachers
chance for livelihood as well as the
children refuge from the dangers that
surround them on the streets. We are
not complaining Of the military author.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30-The Wash
ington Star of this evening says that
Gen. Burnside has already advanced
down along the eastern base ofthe Blue
Ridge and formed practical junction
with General Sigel, their lines ofpickets
joining.
The withdrawal of Walkers rebel
forces from Upperville was, doubtless,
in consequence Of the rapidity Of Gen.
Burnside's movement in that direction.
We do not believe he has gene in the
direction Of Snickersville. as, in that
event, be would be rushing into the
Jaws Of McClellan's army, but rather
across the ridge back to Upperville,
over the Alexandria and Winchester
turnpike.
The rebels continue to occupy the
ridge between Harper's Ferry and
Winchester, on which Lee posted his
army after crossing into Virginia. We
believe he is moving as fast as he can,
as Burnside and Fitz John Porter have
already defeated his probable scheme
of attempting to, surprise Sigel. To
cover it promptly. be will have TO move
back toward Richmond.

~The front b2ilding Of the "Buck'
eye Foundry" in GalliPolis, owned BY
Messrs. CALoHAE, GRAHAM d. HILL,
was discovered to be on FIRE last Thurs
day afternoon, and in a short time all
except tho brick walls fcll prey to the
devouring flames. The moulding room
was only saved from like fate by the
efforts of our citizens. Fortunately for
our town the day was calm, and the
Eureka Mill" having steam up and
engine working, supply Of water was
obtained. by which, even small frame
buildings within 20 feet Of the Foundry
were saved. Mr.. LEWIS BILLINGS loses
heavily in laths and machinery in the
building. The loss in patterns to the
owners of the Buckeye Foundry" is
also heavy, as many very valuable ones
were laid away in the upper story
The origin of the FIRE is not known GER
tainly, but supposed to have originated
from the boiler stack. The enter
