WE wish to call the attention Of our
readers to the necessity of keeping stock in
good condition, as the best preventive
of disease. And we wish to speak more
particularly now about Soan's Improved
Condition Powders, the great standard
Horse and Cattle medicine of tho country.
We feel perfectly safe in saying, that if
Sloan's Condition Powders had been known
and used in England where the cattle plague
has recently held its carnival, there would
not have been one-tenth part of fatality that
fact that Sloan's Condition Powders have
always given entiro satisfaction to farmers
and stock raisers which no other preparation
can do or claims to do. No farmer should
be put off with substitute. hut insist on
getting the genuine Sloan's Powders, which
are known and reliable. We say to all buy
and use Soan's Condition Powders, and you
will always have sound and healthy stock.

HOW TssEY LOVE THE
SOLDIERS

The only soldier presented to the
recent Copperhead County Convention
for nomination, did not receioe single
votei That soldier, too, was crippled
for life in the army, and is emf
nently capable, while the success
ful candidate is an old broken down
party hack, without any especial quail
floations or recommendations for the
nomination, except that he is one of
the most malignant Copperheads in the
County,
We wish the soldiers of Belmont
County to make note Of this.

THE CONFEDERATE DINO
CRATIC CONVENTION.

CRATIC CONVENTION.
The County Convention of the Con
federate Democracy, on last Wednes-
day, was very respectable in point of
numbers, but we think the most ardent
Copperhead will hardly claim any 9TH
er especial merit for it. The atten-
dance was pretty good from some local
tiles from the fact that the candidates
stirred out their friends and neighbors
to assist then. in getting nominations,
while from some Townships but one or
two persons were present.
The Convention was called to order
after dinner by Mr. o. j. Swaney, who,
with the late editor OF the "Bell," con-
stitutes the little circle who arrogate
to themselves the disposition of the
party "spoils" in this County. A Mr.
Wilson's of Bellaire,b by permission ofthc
aforesaid gentlemen, was permitted to
occupy the chair. After that had been
disposed of, several gentlemen from
the country were permitted to sit on
the stand with the chairman, and Mr..
Ross j. Alexander, of ST. Clairsville,
was made Secretary.
The Confederates from the rural dis
tricts were then permitted to retire and
select their delegates. This was done
promptly by the most Of them, but
Union and one or two other Townships
had to be called several times before
they were ready to report. The strug-
gle in Union, we presume, arose from
the rival claims of Mr.. j. f. Simpson
for Sheriff and r. M. Clark for Auditor.
After the delegates had retired, some
one suggested that the faithful below
should be entertained with a speech.
Mr.. Ross j. Alexander and r. S. Clark
were called for. Mr.. Alexander de-
clined to respond, and Mr.. Clark took
the stand and commenced, in his usual
camp meeting tone of voice, what turn
ed out to be very dull speech. He
surprised his auditors by saying he
had not been paying much attention to
politics lately, talked little about tho
Fourth Of July, urged the party, what
ever might be done upstairs, to act
harmoniously and sustain the ticket,
and then proceeded 10 pitch into the
Union Party in u very weak STYLE
We listened to the gentleman deliver
himself Of the greater part of his eff
fort, but it hadn't vigor enough in it
to be even moderately entertaining, and
we left. After he had concluded, we
are told Mr.. George II. Umstead spoke
apiece, and then the faithful anxiously
moved out under the windows of the
Grand Jury room to watch the pro
gress up stairs.
The following is the ticket nomina-
ted: Probate Judge, G. c. Workman
Sheriff, VIM. r, Kiger; Auditor, r. M.
Clark; Commissioner, VIM. Nj. Camp
bell; Coroner, George Crisswell;
Surveyor, John Kennon; Director of
Infirmary, Nathaniel Taylor.
Mr. r. f. Chambers reported some
resolutions, in which they pitch into
the Constitutional Amendment and the
Freedmen's Bureau, and declare in
favor of the speedy trial or release
of that "noblc Democrat" Davis.
Judging from the result of that days
operations, tho indications are any
thing but favorable for the Confedcr-
ate Democracy in this County.

CUR TICK Ell.

The ticket nominated at Belmont last
Saturday is one of the very best and
strongest ever offered for the suffrages
of the People of Belmont County
Not man on it, we believe, has ever
been before the People for office, with
the exception of our excellent Com
missioner and Director of Inirmary,
who are nominated for reelection. In
this respect it differs widely from the
opposition ticket, which is made up
entirely of old party hacks, who have
been battered in turn by the Wings,
Democrats, Know Nothings and Re
publicans, and who bear on their per-
sons the scars of many fierce political
conflicts, while the only scars borne
by our ticket are those received fight
ing under the flag of our Union.
Col. CHANDLER w. CARROLL, our
candidate for Probate Judge, is a son
of that gallant old Wing, Carlo c.
Carroll, Esq, and from WHOM he i'm
bued his manly spirit and his intense
devotion to duty. When the war
broke out and our now martyred chief
called for Is, 900 volunteers, Col. Carroll
was one Of the first to assist in organ.

he enlisted rs private and carried

sent Immediately to the scene of hostil-
tiles in Kentucky, where it united its
fortunes with what afterwards became
the immortal Army of the Cumberland
He from that time until the close Of
the war was with that army, during
which time he participated in every
battle, including the sanguinary strug-
giles at Shiloh, Stone River, Chicka-
mauga, Mission Ridge, the great
Georgia campaign under Sherman, and
the battles Of Franklin and Nashville
under Gen. Thomas. No soldier from
our County can show a brighter or
more untarnished record, and none has
been in more or bloodier battles.

Lieut.. ALEXIS Core, like Col. Carroll,

year or two, was promoted to o Lieu.

to procure suitable monument to the nleul
ory Of this departed hero. We understand
that eome 5000 were raised for this object.
Before ANYTHING further was done, however,
discussion arose as to the propHety Of re.
moving his remains to West Point, and erect.
Ing monument there, so that the grave Of
the Stonewal1 jackson OF the Federal army,
Is to day only known by mound Of earth.
The nnme and memory Of the great aud
good man arc dear to every soller Of the
army. Who has left more brilliant record,
as patriot and soldier, than Gen. McPhcr-
eon y Nothing would be more appropriate
than monument erected TO his memory By
the men who losed and adored him as COM
mandcr, and cherish his maine as a sacred
heritage. Let monument be raised over his
remains, which now rests on bis own farm,
where be lived when a boy, and where his
mother still resides. And the nation not un-
mindful OF her martyred dead can also erect
a monument at West Point. Men should
blush to neglect this matter longer.
