The State Convention.

Ghe SJaIe convention.
There was large attendance at the state
convention,-much larger than some antici-
pated. The proceedings were conducted
earnestly and with satisfactory results. Gov
ernor Andrew and the present state officers
were re-nominated by reclamation, and reso-
buttons were adopted expressing the views of
that great majority of the people of the state
represented by the delegates present. Mr..
Bullock discharged the duties of presiding Of
ficer admirably, and his address, on taking
the chair, elected the most enthusiastic APP
plause throughout This approval was unan-
imous, and everything in the address was so
warmly endorsed and cheered, that it may be
read as if it were an address of the conven-
ton to the people. One earnest member of
the convention said to us, in the warmth of
his approval, that address should live in
literature and be read in school books"
The tone and purpose of the convention are
very justly described by the Boston Daily
Advertiser as follows: Remembering that
the party chiefly composing the convention
comprises a large absolute majority of the
people of the commonwealth, the proceedings
of the day were an additional proof that the
people are becoming terribly in earnest as to
the issues involved in the present war In
few political conventions has there ever been
SO little allusion to merely party considera-
tons. In few such assemblages, in this state
and Of late years, we may add, has there been
so little discussion Of the slavery question
considered by itself. The war its vital con-
nection with slavery and the policy of striking
at once at the latter as the proper method for
closing the war, were the general topics which
occupied the minds Of those present. The
sentiment of the convention was undoubtedly
expressed accurately by one Of the speakers.
an advocate of the most radical measures.
who declared that he for his own part discuss
ed emancipation as he would rifed cannon.
AS an instrument for accomplishing an end"
There was some dissent from the resolution
recommending Senator Sumner for re.eec-
ton, but those who expressed it were willing
as individuals to endorse the commentator
bestowed upon him. When the vote was Ia
ken on the resolution but few voices were
heard in opposition to it, while the YEAS, Civ
on with unusual emphasis, filed the great hall
with their sound.

insured for $4,000. The town hall with the
Unitarian church in the second story was

removed but the building was consumed.
The church was insured for $4,000. The en-
tire loss is estimated at $4,000 or 100000.

The TwENTY-FRsT REGMENT.-Most of
the men taken prisoners by the rebels, belong
ing to the twenty regiment, were paroled,
and are now at Annapolis. A letter from one
of them states that the writer fell into the
hands of the 10th Georgia regiment, and with
others, was placed in care of Gen. Branch,
who commanded part of the rebel army at
Newbern. A portion of them were detailed
to go out and pick up the wounded, and do
other similar duty. During all the time they
were in the rebel lines they had no food fur
nished them, and they barely kept from star
walton. The writer of the letter says, and he
speaks from personal observation, that nearly
all of the dead and wounded left on the field,
were stripped of their clothing and shoes by
the rebels, even the canteens and clippers of
the wounded being taken from them After
four days captivity and starvation they were
paroled, and after much weary travel arrived
at Annapolis, where they now remain.
