The MATCH GAME.-A ccording to previ-
GUS arrangement the Nameless Base Bali Club
of Frederick, Md, visited this place on
Tuesday last, and was met at the depot bya
committee of the ''Stonewall" Club, who es.
corted them to the Carter House, where they
donned their very neat uniform. aud from
thence repaired to the grounds east of town
which had been carefully arranged for the oc-
casiou. The gume commenced with the
''Stonewalf' at the bat, aud considering it
was their first attempt in regular match
their playing was very good, On the second
inning the Nameless changed their Pitcher,
and his manner of delivering the bail being
80 different from that of the first, the '.Stone-
wall" seemed to be much disconnected, aud
made rather Tad score. but on the third in
ming they recovered themselves and played
very handsomely. The Nameless played like
veterans and are we'll worthy their reputation
in this manly sport. AT the third inning,
Nameless at the bat the rain began to fall f6
torrents, which put summary end to the
game, aud'it was therefore declared, by the
Umpire, according to the rules Of Base Ball,
a',drawn gansey y
There was very large attendance of la
dies and gentlemen to witness the playing.
and we are sorry it was interrupted. Several
OF the players deserve special mention but
our space will not permit us to do SO. The

the evening of the 4th of September. We
shall not disgust our,readers by any further

We7must however, congratulate the editors
of the Free Press that their paper has been

assure them that we have q just appreciation
of theacOurtesy that would open the columns

June last, his remains, with others, were de-
posted in our cemetery. a short time there
after, his bereaEed widow arrived here&with
the intention of removing him to her distant

and witnessing the care which had been be.
slowed in the interment of the southern
dead, she concluded to let him rcpose with
his sleeping comrades, where the hand of af.

dead heroes buried there may be permitted to
rest quietly until Gods summons shall arouse

Senator Sherman, of Ohio, last
night, addressed Republican meet
ing in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in
vhlch he dwelt on the importance of
the success OF the party at the ap-
preaching election in that State. He
expressed warm approval of the
patriotic course and general official
conduct of President johnson, and
claimed that there is really no essen
tlal point of difference on the recon
struction question between the Presi-
dent and Congress, the only variance
being in the fact that the former
thought each House should decide
separately on the question of admitting
members from the lately rebellious
States, while the Senators and Repre-
sentatives insisted on acting jointly,
by vesting the consideration of the
matter in the Reconstruction Com
mlttee. Mr.. Sherman thought the
copperheads would find out very soon
that the President entertains no de-
sign of political affliation with them.

LARGE SEIZURE OF CONFEDERATE
GOODS AT New ORLEANS. col
lector at New Orleans has recently
made an important seizure of goods
on board the steamer DoubIoon,
which arrived at that place from
AssssD>eport, and the goods are now
held in the Treasury warehouse in
the former city. The cargo consisted
OF $50 bales of Mexican blankets,
grey Confederate cloth, clothing,
and @ quantity of cotton goods, the
whole. worth from $50, 900 to $780,
GOO. The following are the circum-
stances attending the capture:
About the time of the surrender of
Kirby Smiths forces, o man named
Galvan smuggled the goods across
the Rio Grande into Texas, ola Eagle
Pass, for the use of the Confederate
Government. The property was
seized by the United States military
authorities, but by some means or
other they were afterwards released
and turned over to Galvan's agent,
who transported them in wagons
through several Counties in Texas,
unsuccessfully offering them for sale
~ he went, until he arrived at
Shreveport. At the latter place, a
party, whose name is not given, OBJ
tanned possession of the facts in the
case, and at once placed himself in
communication with collector Kel-
iiosg, who placed the matter in the
hands OF acting surveyor Cassard,
who, after M h patient watching
and waiting, gJs hold of them on
board the steamer above mentioned,
as she was about to discharge her
cargo at New Orleans.

back his steamer to lend all possible
assistance and rescue as many of the
passengers, officers and crew of the
Gen. Hooker as he could. Depo-
nent saw nothing to lead him to the
belief that there was q race. The
deceased is the daughter of the Hon.
4. 0. Bush, 1ntendant of George
town. She is about fifteen years of
age. Deponent rendered her all the
medical aid Il his power. and endea-
vored to restore life, but failed. A
colored woman that was saved was
badly burned.
A. F. Doane, Pilot of the Steamer
General Hooker, being sworn, de-
posed, that he was on board as
pilot, and was in the pilot-house when
the first mate, Mr.. F. D. Coffin, came
in and informed him the boat was on
fire in the fre-room, having broken
out in the coal-bunkers; I immedi.
ately put the helm hard port, and
run the steamer ashore on Sullivan's s
Island; when she struck, the fire had
made headway, and we lowered the
boats, taking in as many as they
could hold; just as we pushed off the
ife-boat, with about eight or ten per-
sons in it. a heavy swell capsized
the boat, and every one were thrown
out. endeavored to assist the Cap
tain's lady and child. I also tried to
save another lady, but she was out OF
my reach, and the child clinging to
my neck compelled me to get to the
shore as soon as I could. I believe
the other lady sunk. I think she
was Captain Risley's wife's sister.
[The witness being needed for the
steamer about proceeding to the
wreck, the Coroner granted him per-
mission to leave before concluding
his testimony
Mrs. Morgan, being sworn, said
she was acquainted with deceased.
Her name is Carrie Bush. Her pa
rents live in Georgetown. Supposes
she is between fifteen and sixteen
years Of age.
This concluded the examination for
the day. The deceased, we learn,
was just from school at the North,
and was returning home with her
brother, when this distressing occur
renee took place.

The TEXAS CONVENTION Tex
as State Convention has adopted the
substitute for the majority report de-
claring the secession ordinance null
and void, acknowledging the supre-
macy of the Constitution of the
United States, and renouncing the
right again to secede, by q vote of
forty-three to thirty-seven.
The Committee on the Condition of
the State reported an ordinance per-
mitting the Legislature to pass o stay
law on all judgments for debts for
four years, on condition that the in
terest on and quarter of the prin-
cipal of such debts are paid each
year.
The Judiciary Committee reported
an ordinance protecting Confederate
civil and military officers from crimi.
nal and civil process for impressment
or injury of personal property.
The special despatch to the New
York Herald, of the 18th, says:
President johnson, yesterday, re-
ceived a despatch from A. j. ,Hamil.
ton, Provisional Governor of Texas,
giving more hopeful account of the
doings OF the State Convention than
any that has heretofore found its way
into print. Governor Hamilton sums
up by saying that, although the Con
vention had been in session one
month, without apparently accom-.
plishing anything material, measures
similar to those adopted by Alabama
were likely to prevail; that there vii.
be no trouble whatever concerning 6
repudiation of the rebel war debt,
and that the freedmen will be treated
more satisfactorily than by most o1
the other States. The principal diff
ference of opinion was, whether the
ordinance of secession should be
merely repealed or declared abso
lutely null and void from the begin
ming.
