For the Journal.
MAGNOLIA, N. c.. July rs, 1871.

M. Editor SIR Seeing q notice 10
this mornings JOURNAL that O communica
ton had been received from Duplin coun-
~, proposing the names of two candidates
in addition TO the regular nominees; l do
not know who the writer is or the names
of the candidates proposed by him, and as
I believe that dissatisfaction does prevail
to a very great extent throughout the
county, have been requested to present
the names Of Capt. J. g. Mcmillan and A.
q. Mosely, Esq. Several candidates have
been mentioned in opposition to the nomi-
nees Of the County Convention, buG the
most prominent among which are the
gentlsmen just named. They are both
gentleman of culture. OF high social posi-
lions, and have had considerable expe-
rience in public affairs, and If elected they
will both do their duty.
Great apathy exists among the people in
regard to the election on the 3D. AuSust,
and one great result will be derived from
the bringing out of the gentleme named
as candidates, that is, it will cause the PEG
pie to come out on the day of election and
vote for Convention. We want Duplin to
give 600 majority for Convention, and it
will be done if the people will come out.
Respectfully yours,
MAGNOLIA.
We publish the above under protest, as
We donDG the expectancy OF forcing out
the strength of the county. by getting up
fight of candidates. A house divided
against itself cannot stand. It should
need no such incentive as this to bring
out the people. Duplin and Columbus
are the pride and boast Of the Conserve
tives Of this section. Columbus is already
in arms, not against herself. but against
the common enemy, and will roll up a
grand majority for Convention. Let the
good people Of old Duplin do likewise,
not allow an internal dissension to weaken
their strength in the contest

aud seventy-nne vessels of all classes-sailing
ships, steamers (sidewheel and screw, moni-
tors, cruisers, despatch boats, hospital, store,
receiving and practice ships, and tags and other
small vessels-carrying in all thirteen hundred
and ninety guns. On. Of fifty-two monitors
only one is now in commission, the rest being
either laid up st the various stations or still on
the stocks unlaunched and uncompleted. or
only forty are on duty on our foreign stations
ten, composing the North Atlantic squadron,
stationed along our own Atlantic coast and in
West Indian waters; four, comprising the
South Atlantic squadron, along the Caribbean
Sea and the eastern coast OF South America |;
nine, the Pacific feet, which ranges all the
way from Chile and Peru to San Francisco

squadron, which has jurisdiction in Chinese and
Japanese waters, including the neighborhood
Of the Corea, and eight, the European squad
dron, which upholds our merely ornamental
dignity in the Mediterranean Sea and the Eng
