The NoMINAT)Ss.-The convention, yes
terday, with entire unanimity, renominated
the old incumbents of the offices of county
commissioner and register of probate and in
solvency. Of the present board of county
offices, Mr.. TAFT has been for several years
one Of the most industrious and faithful men,
bers, and it is for the public interest, more
than his own, that he should be retained. The
unanimity OF Mr. PIPER's nomination is also
evidence of the general satisfaction with the
registry of probate and insolvency as it has
been administered during the past five years.
1t is fortunate, at this time of universal indis
position to contend for any political or official
change, that we have local as well as state
officers, who can command SO entire and un-
reserved confidence.

EXCURSION OF THE STATE GUARDS TO
MANCHESTER, n H.-The Worcester State
Guards arrived at Manchester, yesterday,
about ten O'clock A. NJ, and were received at
the depot by the AmOskeag Veterans. They
were duly escorted to the armory of the "Vet-
eranS," where refreshments were provided
They were next escorted to the muster field,
about mile distant, where they were met 10y
Col. Tappan, in behalf OF the New Hampshire
state militia, and escorted to the head OF the
column by the Granite State Cadets. The
Manchester American, speaking of the
Guards, says "they made a splendid appear
ance," and this was the impartial testimony of
all who observed them on the march or on the
field. The troops upon the field, numbering
some eight or ten companies from various sec
tions of the state, went through with all the in
tricate evolutionS of mimic battle field with
great credit to themselves and their officers.
About o'clock the Guards were escorted
by the Veterans back to the armory Of the
latter, where they were again served with re-
freshments. Here the Guards were invited
by Gov. Gilmore TO dine at the Manchester
House, which generous invitation they accept
ed and, as Gov. Gilmore never does any
thing by halves, whether i'll the city or in his
tent on the field, his hospitality on the occa-
sion was unbounded. After dinner, the Of
ticers of the Guards, with officers of the 5lst
regiment, rode again to the muster field, as
the guests of the governor, in his carriage,
and were further recipients of his generous
hospitality.
The inspection and review of the state
troops were to take place in the afternoon
from two to half past four o'clock, which the
Worcester guests, who were obliged to leave
at four o'clock, were of course unable to wit
ness. The State Guards were very strongly
pressed by the Veterans to remain there over
night as their guests, but the business ar
engagements at home of a majority of them
obliged them to torego the pleasure.

GEN. RosECRANs' PusITIoN.-Rev. Mr.
Gushing of Shrewsbury, now in the service of
the christian commission at Chattanooga,
writes that the army has been on hall rations
COT everything that requires handling) for the
want OF transportation from Bridgeport, fifty
miles by team over mountain passes. The
rebels have greatly disturbed the railroad be-
tween the army and its sources of supply
Two days before this letter was written (Sep-
TENDER 30) two hundred ambulances went
out under flag of truce for our men wound
ed in the late battle. They had returned,
bringing but small part of our wounded
many of whom had been uncared for since
the battle, lying on the field where they fell,
the rebels taking their blankets from under
them, and stripping everything from the bod
les of the unburied dead. Several regiments
are posted up and down the river to prevent
a flank movement by the enemy. The re-
mainder are entrenched all around US in line
of battle, except on the river side. Our de-
fences are such that it will take mighty host
to start Rosey from his post though the reb-
els lay like grasshoppers on three sides OF us,
and can shell us at any time they choose
Other letters, written later than the above,
assert positively that the center of Gen. Rose
Grams position has been made strong by the
presence of fresh troops, and that both flanks
of the army are now also fully protected. In
the new organization Gen. Thomas commands
the center, Gen. Hooker the right wing, Gen.
Granger the left. The main detachment,
which left Washington some time ago under
Gen. Hooker, undoubtedly reached its destl-
nation several days ago, as letters have been
received from regiments now in that region
which were known to be in HOokers advance
1t is also stated upon the authority of inter-
cepted rebel correspondence, that all OF Gen.
JohnstOn's forces have been sent from Missis-
sippi to reinforce Gen. Bragg.

OBITUARY. Frederick William Faber, one
OF the most eminent Of the Anglican converts
to the Catholic faith, died at Brompton, Eng,
on the 26th ult. Twenty five years ago, he
was regarded as one of the most charming and
graceful of poets, and some of his earlier
verses have taken permanent place in the
language. When he wrote in prose, he wrote
in pure and indebted English. Before his
death, his writings had become voluminous
and were worthy OF religious character.
Indeed, the literature Of the ancient church
is indebted'to HIM more than to any contem-
poraneous writer. He is described as man
ofvarious accomplishments, of singular sweet
ness of disposition and purity of character, so
that he drew around him such Il circle of
warmly attached friends as it rarely falls to
the lot of men to enjoy.
