TO BclB,om C0 Uaon Central CoD,nitec
GENTLEMEN, At meeting Of our Com,
mittec held this day, it was unanimously
resolved that for various reasons 1t IL ncccs-
sary to have Senatorial Convention Tor
the purpose OF nominating n candidate Tor
the District composed Of Belmont and llar-
risen counties.
We do not know gentlemen, that there
are any objections to DIR. West but there
are objections among our people 10 this
Committee deciding for them. And again
the Delegates for this County have already
been appointed, and to produce ununimity
of feeling and action in this County we are
decidedly of the opinion thata Senatorial
Convention should be held Also we may
say, there is no meeting appointed in this
County at which we could ratify your choice.
We would respectfully suggest the I'd
Saturday Of August next, as the time, and
Flushing as the place for holding said Con.
vention; or any other time or place which
you may suggest.
Very Respectfully,
JNo. G. JAMIsoN, Chm'n.
SAMUEL KNOX, Sec'y.
The Executive Committee has notified
our friends in Harrison County that the
time and place for Convention is satisfac-
tory.
The recent Convention in this County, under
the impression that no Convention would be
held, appointed no delegates. The Exccu-
tive Committee think it unnecessary to call
a Convention to appoint these delegates,
and request the Union Central Committee
to meet at ST. CLAIRSVILLE, SATUR-
DAY, JULY 29th, 1865, at l o'clock p. M,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the Senatorial Convention and transacting
other important business.

the following gentlemen: Colerain, B. e.

Rainwater a Cause of Consumption.

Under this head. Prof. J. V. Philips, ge-
ologist Of some emiuence, now residing al
Dubuque, Iowa, writes the Times Of that city
an article, in which be maintains The use OF
rain water, to the exclusion Of lime water,
iuduces and i. the cause Of consumption. Ii
should be read with considerable interest lie
says:
A fact has been developed by Liebig, the
great animal chemist, in reference TO the origin
OF consumption that is not generally known.
10 analizing the blood Of oil persons Of pull
monary complaints be found lack Of lime 10
the blood. And this led to the natural cou-
clusiou that consumption was not disease.
bat nothing more or less than the breaking
down of the system Tor the want Of elements
to build i, up A very eurious fact 10 relation
to this complaint is that consumption 10 the
United States is confined principally To the
granite and sandstone districts, where there Is
DO lime held in ISOLATION with the water, aud
line drawn around these rocks eneloses oil the
principal consumptive districts in the States.
The same rule applies to children teethng. III
a nursing mother wants to have ironole with
her children teething she has only to avoid
focd that contains lime ard drink rsinwster.
and when the period arrives for the child TO
have teeth, the whole energies of It's little sys-
TEN will be brought into action TO eliminate
lime sufficient to grow teeth, and this effort OF
nature produces the irritation known 10 moth
ers as the " teething period.

L. S. 7 80 LoAY.-By reference to our adj
vertising columns it will be seen that Jay
Cooke sdvertises for subscriptions to The U.
S. : 80 loan. The bonds are issued 10 sums
as low as $50, and bear interest al the rate OF
7s4 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annusl-
" In legal currency These bonds are redeem
able at the end OF three years, or fundable in
six per cent gold bearing bonds, payable in
five or twenty years at the option Of the Gov
ernment. One great advantage in this loan is
that the bonds are exempt from taxation,
which is equal to 3 per cent. per anuum, thus
making the interest 10 per cent. These bonds
are now worth premium of per cent. The
interest is payable in currency, semi annually,
by coupons attached the interest amounts TO
one cent per day on $50 note, two cents per
day op 800. ten cents per day on $500, TWEEN
ty cents per day of 81 ,000, one dollar per day
on $4,000. This is loan in which every as
sstance can be rendered the Government. Ii
has properly been termed the popular loan OF
the people, and there is at the present writing
but $500, 100000 of these bonds now on the
market, and hence it is that those who desire
to make first rate investment, should not
hesitate to call upon Messrs. Wells, Fargo X
Co., who are authorized to receive subscrip-
tions for the same, at any of their Offices
throughout the State. Subscriptions will be
received by the gentlemen named, at par. We
doubt not an immense amount Of this loan will
be subscribed n California.

HOWE, THE SEWING MACHINE INVENTOR
The London Builder has the following bit OF
personal gossip The history OF the inventor Of
the Sewing Machine is most curious and in
terersting one. The name Of this man Is Elias
Howe. He was a mechanic of New York.
Not succeeding well with this effort Of ingenu-
ity in America, be came TO England, and sold
bis patent right in this country to Mr.. Thomas,
OF Cbespside, for ESQ. Mr.. T., some time
later, paid $4,000 TO person who made some
improvement in the feeding apparatus. Howe
was engaged by Mr.. Thomas at salary Of 80
week to adapt the machine TO the stay max
ing trade. About this time the inventor bad
fallen into such extreme poverty that his fami-
ly we're destitute of the Decessaries Of life; but,
fortunately, be had not disposed Of bis patent
rights in America; to that country be returuedi
and it is stated that the royalty which be Low
reaps from home sale and for expectation
amounts to $4,000 year.

RELATIVE VALUE OF SHEKP-The value of
sheep like that of other animals, depends upon
the object for which they are kept If exclu-
siyely for wool, then those breeds which will
produce the quality most in demand, and at
tbe highest price, should be selected. Sheep
are capable Of furnishing both food and raiment.
Where mutton can be readily sold, those breeds
which fatten easily, and at an early age,
should be raised. Many of the English breeds
have an advantage over others in this respect.
As distance from large markets increases NUT
ton becomes less and less matter OF attention,
and wool more more the main object in rear
ing seeep. Hence in the latter case, those
breeds which are mainly desirable for their
wool producing properties, are to be sought
For this purpose the Merino is probably not
e1celled by any other breed.

WOMEN IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-Thes surplus of
women over men in Massachusetts, in 1860 was
1000. Massachusetts has since placed in the
navy more than 10000 sailors, and has sent to
the army more than 100000 men, who have
not yet returned. 1t is impossible (says the
Boston Advertiser) to make conjecture even
as to the number OF men who have left Massa.
chusetts for other purposes in public or private
business which has been set on foot or stimu-
lated by the events of the last FIVE years. but
every one knows that it is very large. What
ever allowance, therefore, is to be made for the
arrival of men from the Provinces or from Eu-
rope, it is evident that the surplus Of women is
now very much larger than it was in 1860. 1t
would probably not be an overestimate to say
that there are now 100000 less men than
women in Massachusetts, the number of men
10 round numbers being about 250,000.

DUELLISG-Arrangemen had been made
for q meeting between Colonel Benton and
General Jackson, when jackson. bearing Of
bis adversarys arrival at Nashville. repaired
to the hotel, accompanied by two friends, and
forced bis way into toe bedroom where Benton
was in bed. with his brother and two friends.
On seeing jackson, Benton laid bis hand Oh
his pistols, and the General Immediately fired
pistol at his head. The Colopel's brother
replied by shot which struck the General in
the arm. Pistol shots were iuriously exchanged
on both sides, and when all the firearms we're
discharged they took to the Bowie knife. Both
Jackson and Benton we're dreadfully wounded,
but none of the party were killed. Jackson's 8
duel with Sewer was fought on horseback, in
the presence of two or three thousand specta-
tors jackson came armed with al immense
cudgel; Sewer with a long sword. Both
bris,led with pistols, like bandits in a melo-
drama. The cudgel proved the more effective
weapon for at the hrst encounter Sewer fell
stunned upon the plain, and Jackson was on
the point Of blowing out his brains, when the
seconds and bystanders iD,erposed.

THE New York correspondent of the Alta
says that among the most singular OF the mu-
tations Of fortune, is the fact that q daughter
oil John Brown is now teaching a school for
negro children in the old mansion Of Henry
A. Wise, Of Virginia.
The above, says the Red Bluff Independent,
is not correct. No daughter of John Brown
ever taught school in the old mansion of H. A.
Wise but one OF them, Miss Annie Brown,
did teach in q contra band school school at
Norfolk, Va, from October, 1863. to March,
1864, and during that time visited the school
at Wise's, twice, and brought away a few
relics among Others was an ear of corn, which
was planted this spring. in Tehama county,
and is growing beautifully. Aunie left the
school at Norfolk for the purpose of coming
to California-,hough she came away very re-
luctlantly. Her associate teachers are still
engaged in the same noble-hearted work, but
in a better house and on larger scale, and
Wises mansion is also occupied as contra
band school house.
