The County Convention.

Upon the action of the Convention which
will meet in this place on Saturday next,
depends i'm portant results, audit behooves
all sincere Union men who may compose
1t, or who can influence it, to consider
calmly what dangers lie in the way, and
to do all they can to avert them, for we hold
=, nat the success of the Union party must
be deemed by all who belong to it as the
matter OF the greatest possible Importance,
NJ much so now rs at any preceding cleo
ton.
From present Appearances, thsre will be
numerous candidates before the G ,nven-
ton for the various offices to be filled, and
1t is not improbable that the competition
may be animated. This is by no mears
uncommon, and is, perhaps, an indication
rather of strength than otherwise, as few
would seek nominations for themselves or
friends from party not strong enough to
elect it's nominees. But we think and be-
lieve the contest will be conducted with
fairness, and with due regard for the pub
lie good, and that, whoever may be the for
tunate ones, all will take hold and help
elect them, that harmony may prevail in
our councils as heretofore, and that we may
continue our march onward towards the
accomplishment of our great object, the
salvation of the Union and the restoration
of our country to peace and prosperity.

DAVIS CoUNTY.-H. c. Travis and DR..
Garrett are the Union nominees for Rep
resentatives in Davis.
The soldiers movement in this county
was funny affair. One or two soldiers
made an effort to get signatures to call
for meeting and succeeded in getting sew
sral; but after awhile it occurred to some
one as proper precaution to find out at
what headquarters the said soldier re-
ported and sure enough he was traced
straight to some of the leading Copper
heads. And to make confirmation sure as
Holy Writ, a Copperhead approached one
Of the soldiers who had signed this cal,
and slapping him on the shoulder, con-
graduated him upon the stand he had TIA
ken, and remarked that" We have got them
now; .se will floor them this time, sure"
That soldier began to smell a rat; a meet
ing was held, and a resolution adopted to
get out Of that ambuscade as speedily as
possible. They accordingly went to the
soldier who had done the canvassing. and
demanded to have their names taken off
that paper. He tried to demonstrate with
them, but it was no use. They made him
tear up the paper, and thus ended the at
tempt to get the boys in blue Of Davis
county into bed with Copperheads under
false preten ses. SO mote it be everywhere,
and so it will be.

The Skies are Bright.

Our exchanges from all parts of the State
bring the gratifying intelligence that the
Union County Conventions, so far a. held,
have been entirely harmonious, and have
made nominate ons which give entire sat
istaction. This is true in the Southern as
we'll as in the Northern part Of the State.
The signs Of the times look propitious for
success. The willy attempt to deceive the
soldiers and ALLEVIATE them from the friends
at home who have always, in every posi-
BILE way sympathized with, supported and
honored them, and with whom they have
a community of sentiment as well as of
interest, is everywhere failing, as all SIM
liar attempts during the war have failed.
There is really but one point OF difference
among Union men, the question ofstriking
the word white from the Constitution OF
the State, and that is daily losing its inn
portance as discussion throws light upon
it,-when it is found the proposition is
practically simply to submit the question
to a vote Of the people three years hence,
when every one can vote on II AS he plsases.
And especially is this cause of disagree
ment losing it's power as the soldiers find
out that the old Copperhead leaders are
secretly seeking to direct the soldiers
movement for the ultimate benefit Of that
organization. .....
g This seems to us to be the way things
political are now tending, and we shall he
very much disappointed If the result in
October does not show the Union men who
have been to the war and the Union men
who have not, standing shoulder to Shout
der as they have stood all through the
struggle for National existence, and re-
joicing over another victory OF the friends
of the Union, one and indissolubls.

Mystery" Excitement in Bureau
County.


Some Of the good people Of Milo town.
ship have been greatly excited, during the
past ten or twelve days, over some alleged
spiritual manifestations" Tho scene OF
these disturbances is in a house occupied
by Mr.. Potter, in the southwest corner OF
the township. The following account OF
the "mysteries'' has been furnished by
neighbors and acquaintance of the Potter
family, and is claimed by them as reliably
authentic as we'll AZ being generally be-
lieved by people in that vicinity. The first
disturbances occurred while Mr.. Potter was
absent from home. 1t seems that joint
of the stove pipe fell to the floor without
any good cause, but this in itself not being
very remarkable, was put in its place
without further note. In short time it
fell again, when it was laid on a shelf or
table, but without any visible agency,
would be thrown unceremoniously to the
floor. Brickbats, stones and dirt were
thrown on the floor, while the doors and
windows were closed. On the arrival OF
Mr.. Potter, an account of the disturbances
was related, about which he thought there
must be some illusion or natural cause
The unmistakable manifestations, soon
however, convinced Mr.. Potter that his
family had not been mistaken. While eat
ing supper, with the presence of several
neighbors, the table was repeatedly cover
ed with showers of dust, seemingly pene-
trating through the ceiling, yet no apparent
disturbance of the ceiling itself could be
detected. Mr.. Potter has two girls, aged
respectively twelve and fourteen, who APP
pear to be the magnets through whom the
invisible influence operates. These girls
are children of Mr.. Potter's first wife. In
the absence of one or both of the girls, no
disturbances occur. The precence Of both
is needed to produce the manifestations.
The most vigorous means have been re-
sorted to, to guard against imposition OF
intrusion. Persons were stationed at each
corner of the house, the doors bolted and
the windows closed, yet in broad daylight
real tangible brickbats would be hurled
into the room. Several were marked,
thrown out, and, strange to say, under
these precautions, in a short time they
would rgain appear in the room. Another
remarkable fact, as these folks allege, Is,
that articles Of cutlery, marbles and trim
kets, lost for several years, are thrown on
the floor. A pair of shoes, belonging to
one of the girls, were placed on the cham
Der stairs, the door closed, and in short
time the shoes fell at the feet of the girl
This was in daylight, in the presence of one
or more neighbors. 1t is stated that Mr..
Potter has searched every nook OF his
house and the surrounding premises for
some accountable cause, but all in vain.
The ceiling Of the room was removed, as
the missiles seemed to escape therefrom,
but nothing was detected. Mrs. Potter has
refused to remain in the house. One Of the
girls was sent away, and since, it is said
there have been no disturbances.
