sgT AT the Androscoggin County Union
Convention, held at Auburn on Tuesday last.
Jeremiah Dingley, Jr., of Auburn, was nomin-
ated for Senator, Jesse Davis, of Webster, for
County Commissioner, Enos T. Luce, of Au-
burn, for judge of Probate, Daniel P. Atwood,
of Poland, for Clerk of Courts, and L. N. Park
er, of Lewiston, for Sheriff.
lp The U. S. Sanitary Commission is a
most praiscworthy and charitable institution,
our enemies being judges: since twelve rebel
surgeons now within the Union lines at Get
tysburg, speak in the strongest terms of its in
estilnable value, and the promptness with
which its agents dispense relief to the sick and
wounded soldiers.
sy- That Fernando Wood is just as much
OF traitor as jeff Davis, no loyal man can
doubt for moment; yet when he was in town
leading democrats-or copperheads es-
pecial pains to call upon him. Who doubts
they would do the same by JEFF. Davis, Floyd.
or the Jew Benjamin, if either of them should
come to town? birds of feather" &c.
% Edward Everett says in letter to the
Rev. DIR. Eliot, of st. Louis, missouri is. from
this time forward, substantially free State.'
Considering that the people of that State as
sembled in convention and decreed that after
1870 all slaves then in Missouri shall be free,
and looking back to the controversy of 1920
and of 1854 and the transaction from that Pc
riod to the present, he says, 81 am awe struck
with the visible tokens of an overruling and an
interposing Providence"
sy- Col Bramlette, who has been tri-
umphantly elected Governor of Kentucky, in
speech made during the recent canvass in
that State, puts it to the copperheads on this
wise, in regard to the employment of negroes
in putting down the rebellion: "You never
heard one Of them object to enlisting Indians
against us. Why is it that you have grown
so terribly repugnant to negro aid? You are
willing it should be employed against us, but
now that it is being employed to help us, you
are terribly disturbed. The reason seems ire
sistble, that then they were fighting on the
side you were anxious should win; but as soon
as they were employed against that side, you
object"

A Plymouth, England, paper calls attention
to suspicious sale OF three of Her Majesty's
vessels of war out of the Navy at that port.
Two of these vessels, the Hecla and Merlin.
which have been re-christened the Typhoon
and Sea Hawk, are said to belong TO a Lon
don Company, and were advertised for plea
sure trip to the Mediterranean; but that has
fallen through, and circumstances justify the
suspicion that they are intended for the Con-
iederate States government.
correspondent of the London Daily News
says 1t is well known that one Ironclad Ram
has been launched at Birkenhead, and another
is soon TO follow, forservice of the rebel States

MISSING MAN.-Ofiicer John NJ Dunn, of
the Detective Police of Boston, arrived in this
city yesterday on his way East in search of
Mr.. John Hennessey, OF Boston, who has been
missing since the 4th instant. Mr.. Hennessey
is widower. He told his children Tuesday,
August 4th, that he should take the steamer
for Bath and visit that place since which time
nothing has been heard from him. His family
have been very anxious on account of his alb
sence, and their not hearing anything from him,
their fears are excited that some accident has
befallen him.
Mr.. Dunn was here two weeks since
upon the same business, but could learn no
thing of the missing man. Since then, a let
ter from Waldoboro, received by COL Kurt,
Chief of Police in Boston, raised hope that
Hennessey might have been in that locality,
and Detective Dunn was dispatched 10 ascer-
tain if such was the fact and to trace the man,
If possible.
1t is found, as Officer Dunn tells us, that
Hennessey, who is about 65 years of age, and
had become somewhat feeble, fell overheard
before the steamer left Boston harbor His
habits we're good, but it was supposed he was
growing light headed, from soitening OF the
brain.
A reward of 100 has been offered for any
satisfactory information as to the whereabouts
OF Hennessey.
