Conrention in the Third Di,trirt.

The call for the Sd Congressional District
Convention. to nominate Representative to
Congress, desisnates the 10th of July a- the
time ami Iyderark as the place of ucet-
ing. The practice has been to hrll the
Convention alternately at Hyielarl; or
johnson, near the centre Of tie Dis
trict, and St Adams The reason for
the alienation lay in the inconvenience Of
the more central position as a place o' assem-
bling to a very large portion Of 'hc voters.
The location OF the roads is such that very
large portion Of those who might wish to at
tend, can reach s.. Adams easily by railroad
or at least, with the addition IF a short
drive in other couycyanccs Trach Hyde
park or johnson, the railroad are almost
entirely unavailable. The las. Convention
was held at HyicpaIk. and. according to
previous usage, tie Conventilu IF next week
should have been appointed ~ ST. Adams.
Except as having tendency TO lessen the
number Of those who attend, SO 10 not sup
pose in this case the deviation from usage
will have any particular of.e. Hon. PoR-
TUs BANTER, the present roIrcsonntiye, will
unquestionably he re-nominatcd. We have
not heard an intimatiJn Of -a intention TO
bring forward any other pers-n, and do not
believe any thing Of the So, will be attemp-
ted. Some heart-burnings towards Nh.
BAx1ER,-especially at S. Adams, in con-
nection with Post-0ffcs arpointments-have
existed, but they are n9r likely 10 work mp
any positive hostility u his denomination
and election.

The nominations made by the County Con-
venti0n, are the same as those Of last year with
one exception, Mr.. Englesby taking place
on the Senatorial ticket instead Of Mr.. Ed
munds who has already served two terms.
The nominations were made riUa rooe with
one exception; then did not appear to he any
thought on the part of any one to have any
other names presented than those Of last year.
For Sheriff, several names were presented,
but the opposition,-ifit can be so called-to
Mr.. Flanagan, who has filed the oiice;accep-
tably for several years, was by no means suf-
fciently united to prevent his nomination by
a decided majority on the first ballot.
The ticket is good one and viii as usual
command the full vote Of the county at cleo
ton.
The County Committee of last year.
Messrs. c. B. Cook Of Charlotte, Martin
Wires of Underhill, and J. s. Platt Of Col
chester were unanimously reappointed.
After the business was transacted Mr..
Edmunds as Chairman made few remarks
and Mr.. Englesby the new candidate for Sc
nator helng called for made a short speech.
There was no discussion Of the Resolutions
presented, and the Convention having finish
ed its business, sonsibly adjourned at an
early hour.

LATEST NEws.-The latest news this
Thursday morning is that fight took
place Tuesday afternoon between detach-
ment of Pleasanton cavalry and the rebel cav
airy at Hanover Junction. Our cavalry
were victorious the enemy losing double the
number of men lost by US. Heavy firing has
been heard indicating an engagement be-
tween Meade and Lee hut nothing definite
is known yet.
The rebel accounts Of disaster to Gen.
Grant are entirely false. Intelligence up to
noon Of the 25th says the siege was still pro-
crossing favorably and Johnston had made
no attack.
Rosecrans' army was on Tuesday within
three miles and a half of Tullahoma and the
railroad bridge and track in rear of that
place had been destroyed by our cavalry. 1t
is thought Bragg will retreat to Chattanoo-
"a without fighting.
Our forces are advancing up the Penresula
and letter from Fortass Monroe says Gen.
Kepes would take Richmond by to-day
Thursday lift was possible.

Tie IacoLy's piratical career has come to
"a sudden end. Having become aware that
tie pursuit was getting too hot for them her
crew and armament were transferred to a
captured smack, and the Tacony was set on
fire. The bold attempt of the pirates to cut
out and take to sea the revenue cutter Caleb
Gushing, ended in landing them in prison
1t would have been better If the Tacony with
all on board could have been sunk by the
shot Of Union guns.
