The County Nominations.

We present to our readers to-day the list
Of nominations for county officers made by
the Convention last Saturday. We do this
with pleasure, because they are all respect
able, substantial citizens: they are well
known in the County: some Of them have
held places before with much credit to
themselves; and all of them hold to the
true faith of Repubicans-One Country
and no Rebellion
For candidate for Judge OF Probate the
Convention selected HOratio Pratt, of Viii
liamston. This gentleman has served for
the last four years rs Circuit Court Com
missioner, and is well qualified to admin
ister the numerous and important trusts OF
the Probate Office with advantage to the
many families interested therein. As an
evidence of his popularity, we would state
that he was the only Republican elected on
the county ticket two years ago.
For Prosecuting Attorney, we have the
name of Rollin c. Dart, of this City. From
long acquaintance with Mr.. Dart, we are
sure no better nomination could have been
made. He is every way competent, has
legal experience, and his abilities are of the
first order. The business of the County in
his hands will he fully attended 10.
Truman Spencer, of Locke, has been Sc
lected for Sheriff, he having had the expe-
rience of previous term in the same Office,
and enjoying the reputation of being the
best Sheriff ever elected in the county. He
is every way deserving OF an election.
Thaddeus Den .Aore. of Ingham. Is the
nominee for Treasurer He has been 4 res
ident of the county for some time, and has
busine-- qualifications of the right kind
for H. - important and responsible place.
Tor Register the name of Laurens B.
Potter, of the Third Ward of Lansing is
proposed. We know Mr.. Potter from long
acquaintance, as a most worthy man, an
active and sterling Republican, and any
business entrusted to him 10y the County
will be faithfully attended to.
A. r. L. Covert of the town of Leslie,
long and favOrably known in this County,
lIplOctu Oitlh- Il utNlti
or one more generally acceptable. could not
have been made.
For Circuit Court Commissioner, Mason
D. Chatterton, of Meridian, has been man,
ed. He is lawyer every way competent
to discharge the duties of the office, and
has good reputation in the community.
For Surveyor, William Rayner, of Vevay,
is nominated. He is in all respects a suit
able man for the position.
The nominees for Coroners- Stephen s.
Gidney, Of Delhi and Edy Baker, of Stock
bridge. are both well known in the County,
as intelligent and respectable citizens.
From the personal knowledge we have of
most Of the candidates on this ticket, and
from the unanimous report which comes TO
Us respecting them all, we deem it every
way deserving Of being elected in Novem-
Der. Whether it shall be done, depends on
the lrN Of the Republicans of this County
VIII they examine the matter seriously,
and make up their minds as To what their
will shall be.

ANOTHER FALsEHOOD NAILED. Copper
head exchanges, of late, have had lengthy
and labOred articles on the corruption Of
this great Government in tampering with
the mails, and allowing the opening OF let
ters addressed to various individuals, some
of whom have been named. This was con
sidered another evidence OF the despOtism
existing under the reign Of =. King Abraham
the First" That veracious paper, the y.
Y. World, having published such state
ment. POstmaster-GeneralB Blair, in a letter
to Mr.. Wakeman, which the World publish
e., denies the allegation, not only a. an i'm
peachment Of its moral but of its business
integrity, expresses a desire to have the
evidence Of the charge, and avows his wish
to punish such an act fit can be proved to
be true.

August Sth. 1861.
Mr.. EDIToR:-There is usually but little
sameness in cavalry life 10 complain OF, es-
pecially during an active campaign ike the
present. But all changes are not 50 deci-
dedly pleasant TO all hands as the last one
which concerned Us, viz: that Of changing
the Frst Cavalry Division from the army OF
the James To the defenses Of Washington
and their transportation from City Point To
this place.
All have now arrived. and we have or
ders 10 be ready to march this evening to
the scene OF our future actions in Maryland,
where We hope to meet the spoil laden III
vaders. and give them a few more such les
sons as they received at our hands in the
same state one year ago.
To say that We are pleased with our
change OF base, would be too duh an expires
sion-,re are more than pleosed
We had a very pleasant voyage indeed,
down the storied James. up the broad and
tranquil Chesapeake aud the ensanguined
Potomac. Two days and nights were thus
consumed: and We disembarked, standing
once more upon free soil, among the civil
lied and sympathising friends of union, lib
eriy and right.
With the lofty dome Of our National Capt.
tol always in sight, surmOunted 10y our glO
rious Queen, the Goddess of Liberty %
Republican LiJert3-with oustretched arm
mutely yet so eloquently appealing to tn,
heart of every true American for that pro
lection which they alone can afford from
the sacrifice to which traitors have 50 Ions
sought to cOnsign her, who would not re
jOice TO share in the glory OF defending it
and to hurl back the incendiary traitors u
revel amidst the ghosts of plenty. upoI
their own desolate plantations.
The health our regiment is not very goo,
at present, and the Cavalry Corps Hospit
ais are pretty well filed. Several cases o
Yellow Fever and Cholera were reporte'
before we left City Point, but ! have hear
Of none since our arrival here.
The weather is exceedingly hot, although
we are favored with occasional showers
Our division is in most exuberant spirits
and all are most anxious to meet and drive
back the rufIianly invaders from our bor

~ The journal says of the meeting
called to vote on the question of a City
Bounty:
THUS less than 90 men out of n voting
population OF over 700, imposed a tax OF
$500 on the people Of this city: such IS
Republican Rule"
A sneer of this kind, coming from the
source it does, needs no notice in this city:
hut for the information of those abroad we
will say that the meeting was called accor-
ding to law, with Is days notice thereof in
a newspaper. and in posters all over the
city: that all voters came that were dis
posed to come; and that there was no ne
cessity for 200 voters turning out TO give an
affirmative vote, when, of those who actu-
ally did come, there were forty-four times
as many for the bounty as there were
against it.

The Dark Side of the Revolution.
August 10, 1864.

Under this head, on our first page, will
be found an article of some length, which
we are sure will arrest the attention of every
thinker, and, as it concerns the struggle OF
our fathers, will not be without interest TO
the general reader. 1t is a brief historical
summary, or rather enumeration of the
various classes of evils our fathers ,nconnt-
cred in carrying out their great enterprise
of establishing a free government. And
those struggles and difficulties are found to
be precisely the same in character, as those
which, after nearly a century, weigh So
heavily upon us. The great difference is,
that that ours are greater in magnitude,
while We have much more ability and re-
sources with which to overcome them.
l. They hadtoriesi in every State to contend
with. We have Copperheads. and secret
and open rebels within our border States,
by millions.
2. They had drunken military officers,
incompetent officers, those who quarrelled
with each other, those who resigned in the
face Of the enemy. Where they can pro-
duce one, We can produce score or more
Of exactly the same class.
3. Contractors and paymasters cheated
the government, and cheated the poor.
needy soldier by every means in their pow
er, so that they might build up fortunes for
themselves, or spend the avails of dis
hOnpcfv in Woo opI ro,-oIr,- No,,- ,,-Lo,,
our public debt foots up to 81, 500, 600, 600
millions, is it to be supposed that this vast
amount has been paid out through many
thousands Of hands, and not dollar has
stuck to hand wrongfullys Has every
one Of hundred thousand contractors and
sub-eontractOrs rendered 10 the Government
precisely the value he agreed to, in quantity
and quality, 10 the last mite Would it not
be a miracle if this had been so:
4. Our fathers complained of the great
extravaganza in living in every department
Of public and private lif, What is our ex-
perience?
.. Our fathers used a currency-thc hest
they could make-which deprecated from
par to nothing. and spectators tried TO gel
rich by depreciating it all they could. Oul
currency cannot be reduced to that extent
because it has foundation in natural ant
acquired wealth which will always keep Il
up within certain limits: but the disposition
10 steal the currency, to counterfeit il. 1,
ueery its value SO as to increase the price:
which the poor must pay, to enrich tn,
spectators, and to embarrass, and as IA
as possible, to stop the operations of III,
Government, exists among US in a nronor
uon' We should think, far greater thar
among our fathers.
D. lnen as TO military success. The wa
was protraeted to nearly eight wears b
want Of means aud men, and bad conduct i
carrying 1t on, when it doubtless nigh
