9.-We pledge our cordial support t.
the nominees of our Union State Con
vention, the nominations this day made
aud to the national administration anC
congress, in the solution of the perplex'
ing questions now left to their wisdom
for decision.
After some excellent and well timed
remarks by Mr.. B. II. Steele, the report
and resolutions were adopted, when the
convention adjourned.
The convention was one Of the largest
ever held in this county, probably owing
to the fact that most of the ticket was to
be composed of new men, which brought
out more than would ordinarily COME
There was one marked characteristic of
this convention which distinguished it
from all its predecessors, which was that
every candidate brought forward and
manipulated by the acknowledged wire
pullers and professional politicians, and
who have heretofore made it their bust
ness TO manufacture a ticket for the 70.
ters 10 elect, was ANONYMOUSLY defeated
and cast one side by those who have not
previously been in the habit of making
up the annual political slate, but who on
this occasion thought they would try
their own hand at ticket making. And
we see the result; they have smashed
the machine; we hope they will continue
to fight it out on this line" till the whole
people shall conclude to exercise the
rights of freemen and come out each year
to select their ot0n candidates. The
battle was fought this year between the
people and the "Bourbons," and the lat
er are buried. Every one of those who
yearly traverse the county to confer with
heir associates in regard to bringing out
candidates and in dragooning the people
% acquiescence, were united and pledged
o the support of the defeated candidates.
Not a solitary man of this stripe was on
he side of the winning cnes. DR.. j. +.
Skinner and Z. A. Stewart were emphat.
caly the candidates of the people-the
trtct tee total temperance people. We
therefore, claim it as decided temper
nee triumph. We have a ticket this
'ear that no man can feel ashamed of.
)n the contrary it is one TO feel proud of.
Is to talent it is the equal OF any former
ne, and its character for temperance is
ar ahead of anything we have bad for
lany years. With but one exception
ley are known to the people as temper
nee men of the mos: ultra type, which =,
, us is a source Of most unleigned salts
Iction. Let the people follow their hand.

The Pirate Shenandoah.

The Pirate Shenandoah.
1t is difficult to repTess feeling o
strong indignation as we hear OF the raw
ages of this dastardly pirate among the
whalers in the Northern seas. Even
supposing that the war was not over, and
that the poor excuse of recognized bel
igerency could be offered for such q
course, it is both cowardly and character.
istic of the way in which this war has
been carried on by the rebels. The fish,
ermen of the Northern seas are honest,
peaceable, and industrious men, engaged
in a pursuit which in no way affected the
issue of the contest, whose destruction
would not help the case in the least, and
whose prosperous voyages, were they al
lowed TO make them, could never have
contributed TO Southern defeat. There
were foes enough worthy of any antago-
mist, had these chivalrous corsairs chosen
to meet them in legitimate combat on the
high seas. But they have uniformly been
careful to attack only the weak and de-
fenseless, while they themselves have
kept within the shelter of those ports
whose merchants made no secret of their
joy at the destruction of our marine
The aggravation of the case is increased
by the fact that had it not been for British
aid and recognition, this pirate would not
have been now in condition to modest US.
If the Colonial authorities of Australia
had acted with that friendly justice which
was our right, this career of destruction
would have been prevented.
Instead Of that, the officers OF this
pirate craft were feted, lionized, men were
found in plenty to compose her crew, and
they went forth full and flushed with
wine to burn, waste and destroy the earn
ings of patient industry. While this case
may not be as clear in legal point of.
view as that Of the Alabama, justice, III
not law, should compel the British gov
eminent to pay for every farthing of
property destroyed.
Were it not that the public patienceI
has been strengthened and refined by the !
long trials of the war, we should ere now
have heard louder condemnation and
more bitter comment upon the occurren,
ces of the past few weeks,
It is humliating to read the reports,
and to feel that our hands are tied and
justice is likely to be long delayed in
reaching the cowardly criminals. No,
only may this serve to increase the irri
tation against Great Britain, but taken
in connection with the doubtful temper
Of the South may serve to delay recon-
struction. 1t is not to be expected Of
human nature, that kindly overtures and
treatment, misunderstood
or rejected, will be made stronger or
more persistent by such unexpected prov
1cations to vengeance and i'll will. 1t
would seem as though the logic of Jeffer.
son DAVIS rule was reaching forth in its
with an arm which will
overtake and punish the great leaders in
he crime Of rebellion. Every day de-
gelopes facts which show how wicked
md how accursed a thing it was. We
ave not been permitted, even if we would,
o sink into any apathetic or Indifferent
ceiling with regard to it, and the current

TERRIBLE MURDER IN MIssoURI.-
The St. Louis Republican contains an
account of horrible murder committed
in Phel ps county, Mo-, on the 18th inst.
1t appears that a squad of Miller county
militia, under Col. Babcock, went TO the
residence of Judge Lewis Wright, in
Phelps county, aboDt ten miles from Rolla,
on the 10Th and remained there till the
l7th. On the last named day they ar
rested Judge Wright and five of his sons.
Some sort of an investigation was made
into accusations brought against the par
ties, either fancied or real, when it was
determined TO take them to Rolla, as was
given out, for further trial. Mrs. Wright
besought Col. Babcock not to take her
Tamily away, and finally he released the
youngest son for her protection. The
Judge was then mounted on a horse by
himself, and his four sons upon two other
horses, under guard of the squad of mill
ia, ostensibly to be taken to Rolla. Be-
ore reaching that point they were all in
Iumanly butchered and their bodies left
ying in the bush by the roadside. No
ess than twenty six shots were fred in
