The Republican nominating convention
met in Petersburg on the 9th inst G.. K.
Gilmer, called the convention to order
Several nominations for temporary chairman
were made. Mr.. Tucker an anti Wells
man, of Alexandra, was elected and upon
being conducted to the chair number made
a rush for him and a promiscuous fight en-
sued. One member struck at Tucker with
loaded cane and struck Mr. Turkey on the
head, bleeding him profusely. The Mayor
and police here interfered and restored qui-
ct. Tucker attempted to speak and anoth-
er fight ensued, when the Mayor again sup
pressed it and the members dispersed. An
evening meeting was attempted to be held
but starting in the same uproarious style as
the morning session the Mayor, in disgust,
left them to fight it out. They continued
in this style till y o'clock, when tellers
werc appointed to take the ballot and Jno.
w. jenkins of Frederick was chosen tempo
rary chairman, and Dudley, Turkey and
Bland elected Secretaries. Committees on
Credentials and Permanent organization
were appointed and at 10 P. NJ. the mixed
assembly adjourned.
Bills to strengthen the public credit are
farcical. This tinkering at the public cred
it by Congress reminds us of the efforts the
Confederate Congress made to strengthen
Confederate currency. The more they tink-
cred the worse it became. VIII not our
Congressional savans learn nothing from the
experience of others? Greenbacks are the
best currency we have now and for goodness
sake stop tinkering with it Or it will grow
worse and worse. The best way to strength
Ell the public credit is to grant the Southern
States their rights as States in the Old Union
cease to legislate for party, but try it a
while for country, and, our word for it, the
the public credit will become as good as
gold.

THO THE pUBLIC.-The experience of the
| past two years has shown the necessity
OF strict adherence to cash sales. All importers
and manufacturers require of US cash at the exoi-
ration Of each month, to meet which we find it
impossible to rely upon collections, and have to
resort to means outside our business. This we
wish to avoid and will, therefore, after the LIST
of January, 1862 sell strictly for cash
A settlement at the end of each month by such
persons as Merchants, Builders, and others to
whom 1t may be more convenient will be consid~
cred equivalent to cash.
All persons indebted to us will confer favor.
by settling by the LIST of January, ar as soon after
as possible, as we ore DESTROYS of closing up past
