County Convention.

A Union County Convention for the Ell
ection of delegates to the Union State Con-
vention, is called to be held at the Court
House in this village on Saturday next Sept.
Cd, at 9 o'clock P. NJ. Besides the choice
of delegates, there will be candidate tor
Co. Superintendent of Schools to dominate;
there may also be candidates for members
of Assembly and County Commissioners to
nominate, and other important business to
transact Therefore it is important that
there should be full Representations let
every town in the county be fully represen-
ted, by duly appointed delegates. 1t is an
Injurious practice to permit towns to be
represented in convention by persons who
are not regularly authorized delegates
Such persons seldom truly represent the
wishes of their constituents ; besides the
practice is unjust and unfair to those towns
whose interest in the success Of the party
lead them to take the necessary steps to Sc
cure proper representation in the conyen.

this fall as at any previous campaign, and

diers. Therefore let us all do our duty

What President Johnson Intends TO

Gen. Schneck, in the course Of a recent
speech at Chillicothe, Ohio, made the fol-
lowing significant utterances res pecting the
reconstruction policy Of President John
son
Only ten days ago, in full and free in
teryiew with him, the President said he
regarded the local governments set up in
the rebellious States as temporary expert
merits, simply to give the people an oppor-
tunity to show whether they viii develop
the right spirit and policy necessary for a
full restoration to their proper position in
the government. While regarding them
as experiments, he intends that the military
power Of the government shall hold them
in check, so that if they be found straying
back into rebellious ways, the military will
be there to prevent them from again max
ing the trouble yhey have heretofore caused
The President, in his conversation re.
ferred to the course that had been pursued
in reference to the Richmond election,
where the citizens manifested their rebel
]ous spirit, by electing to office the very
men who have recently been in arms
against the government 1t was with his
sanction that the military authorities had
set aside that election, and he gave this as
an example Of what might be expected in
other cases Of q similar kind.

An IMPORTANT DIsCoyERY.-A most i'm
poYtant discovery, far more so than that Of
the alleged source Of the Nile, has just been
made in South America. 1t is that the
great river Amazon has been found to be
navigable from one end to the other; that,
in fact, a new route has beer opened be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific The
Morona, Peruvian steamer, which was
sent to explore the Amazon, has arrived at
Mavro, about 500 miles from Lima. The
Morona navigated more than 1000 miles OF
the Amazon proper, and 600 the 1eay ali
and Pachitea rivers, which, until then, was
seen only by Indian canoes. The country
is of course inhabited only by savages, but
is, Of wonderful fertility.

Iowa County Agricultural Fair.


The Iowa county agricultural Society
announce il the Mineral Point Tribune that
the tenth annual fair Of the Society, will be
held at DodgeFille on Friday and Saturday
Sept. 18th and goth, 1865. The premium
list Of the fair is also Published, but our
crowded columns 70, bid It's insertion in the
Chronicle. From glance at TIVE conclude
that the premiums offered are about the
same as heretofore, though there are doubt
less some additions It is expected that the
officers of the society will make every exer-
ton to ensure those who attend every. com
fort and pleasure which it is within their
power to furnish, and we seeno reason why
the fair of 1865 should not be the largest,
best and most remunerative ever held in the
county. The past has been bountiful
year, the harvests are abundant, small grain,
wheat, oats, rye, barley &C., have done bet
ter this year than any year during the war;
vegetables were never better, fruits and
wines are rich and juicy, and the yisld fair,
live stock is plentiful and in much better
condition than last year. Considering these
facts We. see no reason why we should not
have. a splendid fair. Letevery one do their
duty, let the ladies be no way backward in
exhibiting their productions and the work
of their hands. Let farmers from all parts
of the country try and compete for the
prizes in stock gain and other farm products
and we know that the tenth annual fair Of
the Society will be a success.

who would desert their country in the dir

The Field, the Dungeon, and the
Escape.

We have called the attention Of our read
ers to this work before, but at that time,
not having perused its contents we could
not speak with that confidence with which
we now call attention to its merits. 1t is
in the first place true book, and being
written by Albert d. Richardson a n. Y.
Tribune correspondent, it is well written,
in the latest style, and in the most pleasing
and attractive manner. Mr.. Richardson
was captured while attempting to run the
blockade at ycksburg, and tells the follow
ing anecdote Of rebel major, who in a
pompous style attempted to administer con
ISOLATION to the prisoners.
,''Gentlemen" said he, with a good deal
of self-complacency 'you are long way
from home However, do not despond; |
have met great many Of your people in
this condition | have paroled some thous-
ands Of them, first and last. In TACT, con
fdentIy expect, within the next ten days,
to see Major General Grant, who commands
your army, prisoner in this room."
We knew something about that! u
| course, we were familiar with the size OF
| Grants army and, before we had been
many hours in the Rebel lines, we found
Union people who told US minutely the
strength of Pemberton. So We replied to
the prophet, that while we had no sort Of
doubt of his seeing General Grant there, It
would not be exactly in the capacity of
prisoner!
Colbnrn-who had the good fortune, foT
that occasion to be attached to Tie W0rtd
and who on reaching Richmond, was sent
home by the first truce boat-came back to
| Vicksburc in season to be in at the death.
One of the first men he met, after the cap
ture of the city, was the major, to whom he
rehearsed this little scene with the charac-
| ters reversed.
"Maior," said he with dry humor, "you
are long distance from home! But dc
not despond I have seen good many o.
your people in this condition. In fact, be-
iieve there are about thirty thousand o.
them here to-day, including Lieutenant
General Pemberton who commands you1
