The following, is tue letter of Gov. A. |.
Boremau, accepting the nomination of the

which they refer, adopted by the National
Convention, which assembled at Baltimore
on the 18th day of June last; and it gives

whole, they meet with my cordial APP
prevail.
With this declaration, and in view of the
fact that have held the same office for

REoHUIT1Ha. in this county has all at
once dropped its apathetic and tagging
character. At yesterdays rates it will
not take long to I'LL our quota. The three

to be tangible reality of which any one

hibitiug q muster-in certificate. The Wig!

NO idea how much money, wherewith to
outfit recruiting agents, was raised yes
terday-but it was no small sum, and
there will be more to-day and tomorrow
all that is needed. We shall fill our quota
without draft. Those who have been
hanging back under different conclusion
can now come forward and put down their
names and draw their bounty. Indeed we
would not be surprised if the few days
next preceding the 9Th of September
would be like the few days preceding the
expiration of our former limit, viz
thronged with an overplus of persons who
were eager to rush in at the last moment
and have themselves credited to the coun-
ty. The best way to avoid all future mis-
understandings is to enlist before the
quota is we'll nigh filed, and thus make sure
of the bounty by getting possession of it.

Dr.. JOHN G. CAMPBELL, in private note,
requests Us take out his congressional an
nouncement which for some time past has
been published in our paper. The DR.. adds
this remark to his request:
81 feel no disposition to be in any degree
instrumental in producing dissensions or
divisions in the Union ranks-more espe-
cially at q time when concert and union Of
action are 30 important"
This sentiment expressed by DR.. Camp
bell in his private note, is exceedingly cred
liable to him, as it would be to any other
friend of the Union cause under the cir
cumstances. We should, as the Doctor
says, strive for unity.

TIE New York Herald has at last fol-
lowed suit with the other New York papers
and put up its price to twenty-five cents
per week. In doing so it says that sit is
evident that within the next two months
half of the newspapers of the country must
stop publication" The Boston papers,
with one exception, have put up their price
to thirty cents per week. Advance upon
advance is now rapidly the order of the
day with papers, their effort being to keep
pace with the price of white paper. Since
we raised the price of the IntsLigencer,
few weeks ago, paper and ink have taken
an other heavy surge upwards on US, and
it is not unlikely that in a short time we
will be compelled to increase our rates of
subscription. In the mean time we would
urge upon our contemporaries an appeal to
those who are at work prosecuting the ex-
pertinent of wood paper to hurry forward
their experiments. The Detroit editorial
Convention the other day gave the matter
consideration, and passed a resolution
urging such experiments. Paper has been,
is being, and can be made, of good
quality, out of other material than cotton
rags. The present prices ought to stimu-
late renewed effort Either some substi.
tute for cotton must be found or else, as
the Herald says, half the newspapers, and
perhaps more, of the country will be
obliged to stop publication.
The present prices of white paper are ru-
inous to the newspaper business. And the
price is owing in part to the combined spec
ulations in the East of rag buyers and paper
manufacturers, but mainly to the depreci-
ated currency, which enables spectators
to operate successfully. One is reminded
of the prices, as they began two years ago
of subscription to the rebel newspapers
In fact the prices of most everything are
squirting oppressively in that direction
The people should commence the work OF
close economy-especially in the use OF
cotton goods. Cotton is now a mere foot
ball in the hands of spectators. 1t rises
like a whirlwind occasionally, as it did last
week, simply on the discovery that the u.s.
ual amount for July had not been received
in the market, albeit this is the dull sea-
son and the naVigable waters of the South
and West, on which cotton is transported,
are unusually low. Most people waste
twice as much paper as they should in
writing letters. Generally speaking less
than one half the amount used would suffice.
People also waste the cotton Raging around
their houses instead of bundling it up and
selliugit. Such persons all through West
Virginia, Eastern Ohio and Western Penn
sylvania, wherever our paper circulstes'
should note the fact that Messrs. ARM
strong L Sons, paper manufacturers here,
are paying high price for such rags and
will take all that is offered them. With
the taking of Atlanta and Mobile, new
supplies of cotton will be opened up, which
the fall rains will soon bring into market,
and then prices will tumble. These events
are now apparently impending, so that
those who have rags to sell should push
them into market at once. Let such per-
sons address Messrs. Armstrong l. Sons,
Wheeling, West Virginia, Immediately.

FROM PETERSBURG


FROM PETERSBURG.
AS We stated yesterday, nothing what
ever of interest occurred in front of Pc
tersburg on Tuesday. That state of things
continued until the close of the day. The
usual picket firing and mortar sbelling
took place, but these have now become of
such common occurrence that they fail to
attract attention. In the opinion of some
the reason given therefor is that they can
be seen bringing dirt from their "saps"
and depositing it in their rear. This may
be SOL but the general impression seems to
be that they had but one completed on
Saturday, and that they expected to obtain
greater results from that than they havs
realized.
As the Express pertiuently remarks, it
was msnifestly to their advantage, and
they knew it ss we'll as we, to have sprung
all their mines simultaneously if they had
more than one. 1t is stated that there are
but few points along the lines where mi
ming operations can be successfully con-
Quoted, and one of these has been tried
The opinion is, therefore, already express
ed, that this mode of warfare is about at
an end with Grant; but of this we should
not be too confident.
A Yankee officer, who accidentally got
into our lines on Monday morning during
the cessation of hostilities, was returned
the next day under flag of truce. His name
was Thomas, and his rank that of Colo
mel. His strsying into our lines may MOI
have been altogether accidental, and hi
mission may have been that of a spy. A
all events, it would have been a good ides
to have kept him in rebel prison for {
punishment for his indiscretion-to call i
| by no harsher name.
