The pemoerntle Convention.

The Statesman says that it expects to see
every county in the entire State represents
ed in the approaching Fourth of July
Democratic Convention We do not doubt
it. The Democrats, even last year, did not
enter into the Union movement with
nore than one tenth of their strength;
this year they win give to it even less. In
every county the Democracy will send
representatives to the Democratic COnven-
tiOns, and also delegates to a "UniOn
convention, but the former will represent
the mass and the latter the exceptions in
the Democratic ranks. But the latter, no
matter how strongly Republican their
county may be, nor how small a proportion
Of their own minority party they may rep
resent viii claim equal voice with the en-
tire mass Of Republicans And they Will
get It, too, in Union Convention. Yet
the Republicans of Ohio are urged Ito
countenance and sustain such q gigantic
political fraud as this, whose injustice a nd
absurdity are written upon its very face.
If the Democrats were in the ascendency
IN the State, would they propose a unipn
was the Republicans Not bit oft They
+ would cling fast to the power that they
held and see to it that no man suspected
Of Repubhcanism had a show for even
constable or assessOrship. Why should
The Republicans, then, stab. themselves'to
zzhsneft their hitter political enemies.
But it is for the good Of the cause :"
q they say Wen, then, why do not they
come fairly up and support the cause and
not cling to their old prejudiees against
whatever leans toward freedom and libtr-
smty2 And how much geod will be donelto
the cause when Democratic papers use
such language as this from the Ashland

DeInvs Of tbe Jnmes River FIeet,

DeAuyB OF the JuEues hlNeE Elctls
A letter published in the Newark Ad-
vertiser, dated on board the Wachusett, in
James River, June Sd, gives some import
ant information regarding the feet, and
partially explains the delay in its move
ments;
Yesterday we moved up the stream
from our old position at City Point, in
company with all the feet (eight vessels)
the Wachusett being the flagship and
leading, and led the way to the batteries
below Richmond. But we did not get
there, having brought up in cornfeld
about ten miles below, where we lay some
time, high and dry. Jersey mud is no
comparison to the "saored soil of Dixie.
We are covered with Virginia real estate
from the main top-gaIlant signal trucks
down to the keelson. Everybody is ashore
exploring the bush. Great precaution is
taken against sharpshOoters bags, ham
! mocks and sails are slowed in the gangways.
| ALI the crew are under the forecastle and be-
hind the bulwarks, out of danger of the
rebel sharpshooters. II was three o'clock
when we came TO q stop, and at eight clock
the rebels appeared on bluff, and fred a
vOlley at us from the opposite shore, after
which they took refuge in house. We
turned OUrg guns upon them, and down came
trees, rocks, bushes, and the chimney of the
house. We then shelled the woods for some
time. 1t being AOod-tide we backed off,
dropped down stream, and anchored for the
night. We are waiting for the Monitor,
which has broken her air pump. AS soon
as she is repaired, we will try it again
Last night dispatches we're sent to General
Mcclellan overland, by a man from the Ga
lena, but he was taken prisoner, the dis
patches found, and the man will probably
be shot. The weather is very hot"

A Touching Scene.

The Philadelphia Inquirer gives the fol-
lowing as an incident occurring at Fortress
Monroe on the arrival of the wounded from
the late Richmond battles;
Among those brought to the White House
was q rebel colonel who had been shot
through the lungs. As he appeared to be
dying, Mr.. Barclay asked him if he wished
anything done. He said "Yes," and gave
the commissioner the names and address of
his wife and children. "And now" says
he, task God to forgive me for ever hav-
ing anything to do with this wicked rebel
lion" Mr.. Barclay asked if he desired
him to pray with him. He answered in the
affirmative, and after prayer petitioning
the forgiveness of Almighty God for his
sins and His fatherly interposition on be-
half of the soOn-to-be widowed wife and
orphaned children, the penitent Carolinian
raised his trembling arms and threw them
about the neck Of Mr.. Barclay, and kissed
him again apd again.
The bystanders were all in tears as they
turned from the affecting scene and walked
silently away.

The Plain Dealer comes out in nearly
column article, which processes to reply to
the LEADER ofyesterday. The only two lucid
points which we can find in it are that the
Plain Dealer isn't as much frightened as
the LEADER is, and that the two gentle
men named by US are not known at that
Office as Editors. If the first is true, the
Plain Dealer must be enjoying a serenity
compared to which John MildmAy was fu-
riOus, and as to the last, we congratulate
the gentlemen whom we find we slander-
ed.
The Plain Dealer says that it does not
have to go outside of its office for edito-
rials, and yet it bases its article upon the
fact that the sentiment we commented upon
was not original, but taken from the Nash
vile Union. As it was loaded and had no
quotation sign, we conclude that that sheet
does sometimes get its editorials from an
outside source.

An Incident in Memphis.
Our Memphis Corregpopdent writes.

On last Friday evening, a well dressed
and genteel looking woman-said to be the
wife Of an officer in the Confederate army
deliberately walked up to a soldier of one
of the Indiana regiments, who was on duty
at the wharf here, and spat in his face. A
number Of persons were present and wit
messed the disgraceful act. The soldier
looked at the " lady" for moment, and
with the simple remark, "You are very
polite, madame, indeed u removed to an
other part Of his " beat"
The new commander at Memphis, Col.
Slack, gives promise that he will be by no
means slack in putting a stop to such pro-
ceedings

currency TO report that Mr.. Geiger, of
Columbus had been appointed Clerk of the
United States Circuit Court in place of the
present incumbent, Mr.. John Mclean.
The announcement, to say the least, was
premature, and we trust the change will
not occur. Mr.. Mclean is in every respect
competent for the position which he has
filled so acceptsbly to the public, the bar
and the Government for a number of years
past. He is familiar with the duties, and
we speak the sentiments Of large major

this Court, when we express the hope that
Judge sWayne will find no necessity for
