onimotion, the following resolutions
were adopted: a"
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the Ruler OF
Nations to take from the Department OF
! West Virginia, Col. Jas. A. Mulligan, OF the
23d Illinois regiment.
We feel from our acquaintance with the
deceased for the past two years, we WouId
not do Justice unless We expressed our ven :
GRAFTON for the distinguished dead.
ReSolved, That in the death Of Col. Jas.
A. Mulligan the country has lost devoted
patriot, . gallant officer, brave heart and
true soldier Of the Republic, the domestic
and social circle kind husband and faith
err, warm friend, and an intellect brilliant
with purity of purpose and strong 10 the
defence of right; may the grief which iol'
lows the fall of such a man be soothed by
the God of all.
RsSoIved, That as citizens of Hampshire
county, who have been under the
more immediate military protection of
ne distinguished deceased, who has
fallen q victim Of uuselfiish devotion
to country, we realize more keenly the
loss of the strong arm, the determined
will, and the cool judgment upon which
we have depended with unwayering CON
idenoe.
ResOlUsd, That although passed from our
midst like the sun obscured by gloomy
cloud, we shall ever cherish the memory
of his acts of justice, kindness and hu-
manity, not less than the bravery which
distinguished him as soldier.
The munied drum sounds the last march Of the
Tho soldier retreats to his quarters "the grave"
Under death, whom he owns his Commander In
Chief;
But in spite OF deaths terrors, waTlike alarms,
When he hears the last bugle he'll stand 10 his
RESOLVED, That We tender to the bereav-
ed and disconsolate widow, our united and
heartfelt sympathies, and we will ever
cherish in our memories the name of him
we love to honor.
ResolUed, That copy of the proceedings
of this meeting be sent to the Chicago pa
pers, also to the Wheeling LHtslligeHeer, and
Cumberland Telegraph, and one copy BIT
sent to the family OF the deceased.

OrnT,on ConventIon.

The nominees of the State Convention
yesterday were as follows;
For Govsrnor-Arthur 1. Boreman, o.
Wood county-reuomiuated.
Secretary of Stats-Granville D. Hall, oil
Harrison county.
Auditor Of State, NJ. McwhOrtor, oil
RoAne county.
Tfeasurer.-Campbel TArr. of Brooke
county
Attorney GenerdE-Ephriam B. Hall, OF
Marion county.
OF the first member of the above ticket
1t is needless for US to speak. The unan-
unity with which he has been chosen is his
just meade of praise.
Mr.. Hall, the Second member of the
ticket, was for several years connected
with this paper and was recently the Clerk
OF the House of Delegates. He is capa-
BILE and energetic man, ardent and earnest
in all that he does and of spotless personal
character. He will make an excellent Of
Gcer.
With Mr.. Mcwhorter, the candidate for
Auditor, we have bare personal acquai
lance, and hence cannot speak of his quail
GcAtlons. He was before the war, Clerk Of
the Circuit Court in Roane county, and hat
served ono term In our new State Legisla'
ture. We believe he made favorable i'm
preston there.
Mr.. Tarr, the present Treasurer, is agair
the nominee for that position. His social
manner together with his original and
unwavering Uuionism have made him
generally popular.
IL was tho general expectation thai
the present Attorney General, A. b. Cald
we'll, Esq, would be renominated ant
we are sure that most of our peoPl
will DO decidedly disappointed that b
was not. His successful competitor, MI
Hall, is a leading member of the Fair
mont bar, was one of the two representa-
lives from Marion, county, in the Richmou
Convention, voted against the ordinance
secession, and has since taken a consider
BILE part in the Union and New State NOV
meut. He was enc of the Commissions
in company with J. W. Paxton and E.
Caldwell, appointed by the November 20
vention of 1852, to go to Washington a
urge the admIttauce of the new State /
fore the proper Committee of the II
houses of Congress. We doubt not tt
Mr.. Hall will make an acceptable Attoru
General.
The Electoral ticket nominated by I
Convention is good one-all that \
could have asked. With Mr.. Brown, fro
the third district, we have no personal a
quaiutance-but Messrs. Atkinson, Blu
ker, Hall and Stevenson, we know we
and they are among our very best men.
No nominations were made for Oongre
at the time our dispatches closed, and
is not likely that any will be made. Th
arises we presume, from the fact that Il
suggestion was made at late day and th
therefore but few of the Counties came
the Convention prepared for such nOmin'
tions

Mr.. Gibson for his acknowledgment that

many persons the very pertinent inquiry,
that if Mr. Gibson "did not give much at.

Mas. Coz. MULLIeAN is praised in all the
papers for her devotion to her gallant hus-
bald, and for her many excellencies as q
woman. At Chicago they are raising a
fund to purchase a handsome property for
her. The large meeting convened there on
Monday last to do honor to her late hus-
baud passed, among others, the following
resolution:
Resolved, That to the broken. hearted
WiGow OF the gallant Mulligan we offer our
tenderest consolation. She has shown, by
her devotion to her husband through the
campaign, sacrificing spirit worthy of the
patriot she loved, and worthy of all that
devotion that such a gallant soldier and
noble hearted man bestowed upon her. We
pray her permission to mingle our tears
with hers over the tomb that will enshrine
her husband and broIher-Chicago's chill
drsn, their country's fallen braves.
