UNION CoNvENrIoN IN OLD WAR.

DISCHARGED AND DISABLED SOLDIERS
| NOMINATED The Union Convention
at Boonyille last Saturday was largely
attended by enthusiastic Union men,
and the greatest harmony prevailed.
The Convention was organized by the
selection of Mr. A. Chamberlain as
Chairman, and. /. w Moore and DR..
VIM. Slaughter as Secretaries.
The Following ticket for Represen-
tatiye to the State Legislature, and
for County Offices was chosen, which,
we are told, is a good selection:
For Representatiye7-Dr William
Baker, late of the Federal army.
For Sheriff Capt. George w. Bull
lett, Federal soldier. dzoI
For County Commissioner-James
i I.owrance. .lld 118d
/ For Coroner. Sparks, a Federal
S soldier fJ.4 aTflgs2
For Surveyor Nat. Barnett, Fe
deral soldier who lost an arm in the
I service. rrgeosrAp
! 1t will be observed that the whole
ticket, with butone exception, is com
posed of soldiers. The Warriek
County Union men know who to select
to fight the Copperhead party With
7 such a ticket they feel confident of
success, and with such indomitable
workers and stauneh Union men as
they have there, the prospect is in
i deed promising of great success. We
are informed that Mr.. J. i, ST, Clair
made a rousing speech, and that DIR.
Baker, upon receiving the nomination
for Representative, made happy re-
Spouse to the call of the Convention,
! in which he took occasion to call
things by their right names. That is
the way to do it. The workings of
the Copperhead party during the war,
and It's connection with the Order of
the Knights of the Golden Circle, are
things that ought not soon to be for
gotten by true Union men. We hope
that every Union man in Old War
rick will go to work at once and labor
J constantly for the success of the ticket
Let the boys who wore the blue" be
rewarded. II 4@5.o'a.
B9T When our First Street neighbor
undertakes to correct any reports
, made in the JOURNAL, it would be
indnifles doing i s5 so II nay s cost
4 him little trouble these hos days,
but it will save him from appearing
ridiculousf before the public. In his
effort to heap disgrace upon the IN
fortunate girl who was seduoed in this
city about the 23d of April, and is
now, perhaps, lost to virtue, he made
/ a miserable blunder. We have learn
ed, from at least half a dozen respon-
. sible gentlemen in this city, who were
well acquainted with the unfortunate
girl and her family, that she always
bore good character before she fell
into the hands Of her seducer. On the
day that the prosecution was COM
!. menced, and the compromise effected,
well known and highly respectable
physician of our city was present, and
stated that he was going to Princeton
that morning on business, but if he
could be of any service to the girl he
would not go, but remain to aid her,
even though unfortunate. He had
known her and her people to be re-
spectacle and worthy. There can be
no doubt now but it was clear case
of seduction, brought about by the
most subtle and disgraceful means.
What object our neighbor has in
} rushing to the defense of seducer,
and heaping ignominy upon this un-
fortunate girl, the victim Of mans base
nature, we are at as great loss to
understand as we were his object in
saying that the ladies of our city used
" fancy drinks at social parties, and
had them prepared at soda saloons,
&c. 1t may not seem strange, how
ever, when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that he sees in Hender-
SON stable the equal of fine resi-
dence in Evansville"
