Baher,s Convention.

The Bread and Butternut Party of
Ohio met at Columbus on Tuesday, 7th
inst. and appointed delegates to their
Convention at Philadelphia. The lead
ing feature of the meeting was a'devel-
opment of mutual suspicion. In the 4th
District it was shown that there was
an s'irrepressible conflict for bread and
butter between, Fleming the Assessor
Of Internal Revenue, and two rivals
who want to be Assessor. Hon Thos
Ewing sent letter to the convention,
which proved the favorite assertion of
his colleague of old times, Hon. Thos.
Corwin, that after public men reach the
age of sixty, they are of no more use
in public councils Colonel Len Har-
ris Of Cincinnati, introduced ressolu-
tions that the 'New party would not
unite with the Copperheads, which were
adopted, but the Convention appointed
delegates to unite with Vallandigham,
the Woods, and all such Southern re-
constructed rebels as should appear
there as delegates. Baber was the
most active toad in the puddle. The
leading characters there, after Baber,
were Mr.. Campbell, the United States
Minister to Mexico; Fleming ofPiqua,
Internal Revenue Assessor, and two
others--Ge General Frizen and General
Cummings, who are applicants for
Fleming's bread-and-butter; G. w.
Moulton, the well known Quartermas-
ter at Cincinnati, who has had his
bread and butter Henry Chase, Reve-
nue. Collector, 10Th District; Colonel
Len A.. Harris, Revenue Collector, Isl
District, and Basset Langdon, Asses
sor for the same A. G: .:McCook, Rev.
enue Collector for the Steubenville Dis
trict; John M. Connell, Revenue Col
lector for the Fairfield District, DC, d

The Democratic Union is apparently
very indignant at Congress for voting
its members additional pay, but forgets
to tell the people that if the very honest
and distnterested copperheads in the
House who voted for the measure had
voted against it, the bill would have
been defeated by at least 80 majority,
notwithstanding the radicals" have

be divided honestly tly-SIXTEEN Union

that the Cops who supported the
measure out number the Republicans

Great Destruction of Property OH
the Bahamas by the Late Storm.

Commander G. w. Cooper, of the United
States steamer Winooski, under date Of Ma
tanzas, Cuba, Oct. 3lst, reports to the Navy
Department his arrival at that port, after q
cruise in the vicinity of the Bahamas. Com
mander Cooper states that at Abaco an Amer.
ican bark went ashore during the recent
great storm and went to pieces, all hands
being lost. The name Of the vessel could
not be ascertained. At Great Stirrup bay
the English ship Raven capsized and all
hands were lost. Commander Cooper be-
llevcs her to have sailed from St. Johns, N.
Is. The Commander of the Winooski re-
celved on board, at the request of the United
states Consul, the following American ma.
chinlsts: A. W. Bartelle, l.. A. Menendez, r.
n. Richardson, }, j. Mullen, and Jas. Turpie.
They had been wrecked in the bark Willis
Rich, OF Boston, on the Bahamas and were
IN very destitute condition. The great
storm, unparalleled in its violence, entirely
destroyed the settlement on Turks Island,
all the salt ponds and everything appertain.
ing thereto besides wrccking thirty-liye for
eign vessels Commander Cooper says that
this was the scvercst hurricane that has ever
visited the Bahamas and that at the different
Gays everything like vegetation aud foliage
is blightcd and presents reddish appear,
anCc.
Some idea Of the violence Of the hurricane
may be formed when the fact is stated that
nlnety-two vessels were totally destroyed,
ninety.seven seriously and forty-two slightly
injured, besides the destruction of hundreds
OF public and private dwellings.

"The officers of the Antelope bring inter

gold watch, some silver spoons, and other
relics supposed to have belonged to the

has called the attention of the revenue Off.
GERS to the fact that the law reqsRing
monthly returns from brewers since the use
of stamps has been adopted for the payment
of the tax, must be SO administered that the
stamp will be a protection additional to
those afforded by the old law, and not merely
q substitute. He says:
ITO this end monthly return should be insisted
upon; and the same care should be taken as under
the former law, to ascertain its correctness. The
number Of stamps purchased by the brewer during
any month should be ascertaned from the collector,
and II not sufficient for the payment of the tax
upon the quantity brewed and removed, an imme.

SOUTHERN DEsrIrurIoS.-In consequence
of the failure of crops, a belt Of the Southern
country, extending from North Carolina to
Texas, and embracing the northern and CEN
trail portions Of those States, and also Of
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis.

before the maturity Of next years crops.
The civil authorities Of those States, aided in
some cases by the United States military

provide supply Of food, but it seems prob.
able that these precautions will be inadequate
to meet the wants Of the people Of the ex'
