17TH DISTRICT NoMINATIoN.-The proceed ings of the l7th District Union Senatorial Convention will be found elsewhere in this pa per The Convention was full and very res. pectable representation of the District, and its proceedings were characterized by entire har- mony and well-considered action throughout. Upon the first ballot the nomination for Sena. tor was rendered to Hon. GEORGE W. PEEr, of Falls Village, tribute to his outspoken loy- alty and distinguished merits that was well bestowed. We regret that Mir. Peet could not find it consistent with his professional and bu- siness relations to allow his acceptance of the nomination, and hence was compelled to de. cline tue honor. The Convention then, after two 1cr three informal ballots, unanimously nominated ROBBINS BATrELL Esq, of Norfolk, as their candidate for Senator. The nomina- tien certainly comes to Mir. Battell unsolicited, but he is 80 well known in the District that we believe the presentation of his name will call out every Union vote, and that he will be cleo ted oyer any competitor by between two hun. dred and three hundred majority, sf
 lis proper to state Moses Lyman, Esq, of Goshen, wholly declined to allow his name to go before the Convention. and that the name of Wm. K. Beck, Esq. of Norfolk, was used without his authority. Capt. W. E. Gaylord, of Goshen, received aattering vote, as did Harlow P. Harris, Esq, of Salisbury.

The War News.

Officers from General Schofield's ntiny who left Wilmington the 1st instant bring the i'm
 portant intelligence that deserters and r.fu. gees who came into our lines on that day re- ported that Florence, S. o. had been e va cua- ted by the rebels, on account of flank move
 ment by General Sherman, who was moving in the direction of Fayetteville. ". c. Ru- mors were also current that Sherman's cayal- ry were at Florence some days previously. and that his main body was then crossing the northwest branch ot the Cape Fear river, sixty miles from that place. If these rumors prcye true, the rebel pirate Chickamauga, which ran
 mp the river at the time of the capture of Will mington, is between the forces of General Sherman and those of General Sciofield, and
 will undoubtedly be taken.or destroyed. he
 rebels admit that Sher mans mode of warfare is entirely novel, and very damaging to them. They have faint hopes. however, that General Johnston's well known ability and skilP may put stop to General Sherman's movements.
 The United States transport steamer Massa- chusetts, which arrived It PhilaLelphia Mon- day, brings the particulars of the capture of Georgetown, s. c., and also the news of the taking of Fort Whitt-a fine work mounting seventeen heavy guns, located just below that place--by our naval forces.

New YORK, Oct 2s-A special to the

The Cabinet meeting of today was OF q
protracted duration, and was attended
by all the Secretaries for the first time
in several months. 1t is reported that
the recent correspondence between Min

1t has been reported that Geo. W. Gayle,
the Alabama lawyer who offered SlO0, 0OC
reward for the assassination OF MIR. Lin
coin, has been pardoned; this is incorrect,
as he comes under the thirteenth eXcep-
tion. However, he may be considered
pardoned, as his rank in the rebel army
was only colonel.
This evenings Republican announces

Particulars Of the DGserti0n OF the
steamer North Star.

NORFOLK, Oct. 2S.-The Norfolk Post
of this morning gives the particulars Of
the desertion of the steamship North
Star, in the gale off Cape Hatteras on the
night of the oath inst. Such was the
force of the leak ON the morning of the
25th, that the water reached within four
inches of the fires, and would have ex-
tinguished them but for the superhuman
efforts of the troops and passengers on
board to prevent it. After throwing
much of her cargo overheard, the vessel
made 900 gallons of water minute
The ship is now at the wharf here, leak
ing to the extent of 1000 gallons per
minute, and it requires the most euerget-
ic effort of the pumps to keep her from
sinking. The passengers have published
resolutions denouncing the owners OF
the North Star for sending her to sea i'll
the condition in which they knew her to
be. Her copper was so torn that the
passengers say that the ship could not
make seven knots an hour. The boiler
was only equal to eighteen pounds OF
steam. There was an ipsnfficlency OF
life boats, and the vessel, i'll every re-
spect, was unseaworthy. The resolutions
of the passengers concluded as follows:
Our experience during the entire gale of
the oath and 25th of October, aud, IN
fact, during the entire voyage, shows us
that the New York Steamship Company
was guilty of the most criminal careless
ness in sending us TO sea i'll vessel so
unseaworthy as the North Star. A steam
er is expected from New York to take the
North Stars passengers and freights on
to New Orleans. The troops that were
on board have had quarters provided Tor
their use.
