yeSerday at one o'clock at the Theatre, in
CarAn City, and was called to order by Col.
Turner Chairman Of the Territorial Central
Union q mmittee, for preliminary organiza-
ton. Thsgentleman made some very happy
remarks relative to the great cause of Union
and country, aud referred to the subject Of
the importance Of securing a quorum Of a
Central Committee contiguous to the Capitol
of the State, that could be called together for
the transaction Of important business at a
brief notice. He informed the Convention
that General Mcdowell and staff, and General
Mason were in the city, and would like to
visit the assemblage, and suggested that a
committee be appointed to tender an invita-
ton to the distinguished visitors to be pres
ent, and to wait upon them thither. The
Convention adopted the suggestion, and ap-
pointed Stafford, Of Humboldt, Ashley, OF
Lander, and WATSON, of 0rmsby, to extend
an invitation to the distinguished gentlemen,
and to Governor James w. Nye, to visit the
Convention.
Upon motion, B. c. Whitman, ESD, Of
Storey, and S. L. Hyneman, of Lander, were

tary of the Convention. Mr.. Whitman, upon
taking the chair, made some patriotic and
well-timed remarks, which were loudly ap-
plauded. b. J. Green was appointed tempo
rary Sergeant-at-arms.
At this period General Mcdowell, General
Mason and staff, and Governor Nye. appeared
and were welcomed with three hearty cheers
and tiger. The Chairman introduced Gen.
Mcdowell TO the Convention, who spoke as
follows:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen OF the Con-
yention--I am glad to be able to meet the
Union men of Nevada Territory assembled
in this place, and although did not know
that a Convention was to be held at this place
until short time since, and as came here
on business relating solely to the military
affairs of the Pacific Coast, you must not eS-
pect OF me set speech; yet, gentlemen,
permit me to say that the battle which Is
about to be fought BY the Union men OF Ne
vada, is Of nearly as much Importance as Is
the capture of Richmond or Charleston, for
the one is a victory that will weigh on the
vacillating men Of both North and South
with mighty effect, and must be consummated
on election day or be forever lost, while the
other is morally question of time, for the
rebels in arms against this Government will
