Eg~ All accounts agreed in saying, at
the time, that when the news Of the nom
ination of Mcclellan & Pendlcton was
received in the rebel armies, there was
shouting and rejoicing all through their
lines, and that firing of cannon and other
demonstrations of JOY marked the event
Reader why was this? The Rebs knew
well enough that the Chicago Convcn
ton had nominated the candidate selected
for it by the powers that be at Richmond, ,
and that their election would bring them
both peace and independence. They
hoped for this, from the bottom of their
hearts, and hence their rejoicings Can

the hopes of its enemies good. Remem
ber that if you fail to vote for Lincoln &
johnson you taeitly favor the dismem-
bermcnt Of the country, the overthrow of
Republican institutions, and the building
up of number of military despotisms,
compared with which even Mexico would
be paradise.

the Alabama Legislature, to aid their
sympatbizers North, have passed series
of resolutions, in which they express their
willingness to return TO the Union on the
Chicago Platform, but threaten war, or
independence as the only terms of Peace,

whole camp in which politicians of that

supporters Of counterfeit Democracy to do
so, but Union men feel it duty, faith
fully to be performed, to insist that it be-
longs to the government, constitute onally
elected, to dictate terms to the rebels, and
not to the people to receive disgraceful
terms from them. At the polls, on Tues

nifty to rebuke the miscreants who have
dared to conjureyou to listen to the de-
mands of traitors.

THE WOOD RIVER EXCITEMENT

A party of some seventy men left here
about three weeks ago on prospecting ex,
citement, with such mysterious and underlined
purposes, that,we have been thus far unable
to ascertain their destination. It seems that
late last Fall, party Of fifteen prOspeotors'
who had beenAout about the head waters Of
Wood river or probably Salmon, came in
after provisions, and, loading their animals,
attempted to get back to their new mines
with their freight, but were unable to get fur
Their than the vicinity of Camas Prairie with
their animals. They then made themselves
snow-shOea, sleds, &C., and taking what pro
visions they could, went on. Parties followed
them to this point, where their trail was lost.
AS the Spring advanced, and the prospect Of
getting over the mountains grew more favor,
able, the present excitement commenced.
The party proceeded to within short dis
lance of Big. Camas Prairie, and finding that
they were too early to get across the noun
tains, portion of the company concluded to
return. While in camp at this place, an In
dian came to them and told them there were
great many Indians within ten or twelve
miles on the opposite side of the prairie, and
desired to be friendly. Afterwards a party
of four Indians came into camp, carrying a
flag of truce. They could not talk English,
and were unable to let their business be
known. A portion of the company, some
five or six, not being satisfied of their good
Intentions, pursued them and shot one of tie
Indians. In returning from the chase, gun
in the hands of one of the parties, was acct
dentalIy discharged, striking Jesse Peters,
making a very severe if not mortal wound in
his hip.
The party then scattered, some returning
and some going on with the hope of getting
through. The new diggings are supposed to
be in basin near the head of Wood and
Salmon rivers.
