THE LOUISVILLE CONVENT oN.-Ihe
ssStraight. out Democratic Convention assem-
blcd at Louisville yesterday, and was called to
order by Blanton Duncan, who spoke at some
length of its objects, the derision that has been
cast on the movement, and of his own position
and action. Levi S. Chatfeld, of n. T., was
made temporary chairman. letter from
Mr.. Charles O'Conor was presented and
read to the Convention Mr.. O'Conor discus
ses at length the theory of government, attacks
MIR. Greeley, and adds that if compelled to de-
eide between Grant and Greeley, the Demo
cratic electors must rely very much upon mere
conjecture. Heopposes protection. Mr.O Conor
closes by declining to be the nominee OF the
Convention. The reading Of the letter having
been concluded, the body was duly organized,
Mr. James Lyons, of Richmond, Virginia, be-
ing elected permanent president and other per-
manent officers chosen. Mr.. Lyons, on taking the
chair, addressed the Convention, urging the
importance of this movement for the malnte'
nance of sound principles of government, ridicul
ing the Greeley party as the dolly Warden
party, and urging the duty of ''repudiatlng and
defeating their unholy coalition. The Convcn-
ton then adjourned until this morning. Special
dispatches state that Judge Flanders, OF New
York, has prepared a platform which he will
present to the Convention. 1t is said to be
thoroughly States rights in its tone Consid-
cradle difference of opinion and warm discus
sion is anticipated over the platform.
2. S. 1t will be seen by reference to the tcle-
graphic dispatches in another column, that not
withstanding Mr.. OConors declinatlon the
Convention has nominated him by acclamatlon
with Mr. John @. Adams, of Massachusetts
for Vice President, but it is not known whether
either will accept.

In an article on Northern prosperity in the
I4ynchburg Virginian, the editor says Labor
is higher in New England than in the South.
1t is further from the producing region, whence
the raw material it works up is drawn, and its
climate is far less favorable than ours for the
uninterrupted working of machinery during the
winter season. With these facts susceptible
of demonstration, is it not obvious that manu-
features in any article can be prosecuted even
more successfully here than there, for, in addi-
ton to being nearer the sources Of supply than
they, we. should also be more convenient to the
market in which they sell the larger portion of
their products. 10 that case, We should not
only realize the profits from farming and min
ing, but from manufacturing also, having al
ways large market at our very doors, and
saving the cost of transportation two ways"

The Richmond Wing says that the present
canvass, with Greeley-the life long friend of
the black mantle accepted candidate of the
whites-presents fair and fresh opportunity
for renewing the old and friendly relation be-
tween the races. They both have common
country-they must live together-they have
common interests, and it is the part of common
sense that they should live 10 harmony and
work together for their common good And
yet with full knowledge of these facts the
blacks, as class, under the leadership of men
whose sole concern is to use them for their own
selfish purposes, will vote with the Radicals,
and thus, in the South, array themselves against
the white man.

the eastern bound passenger train of the Viz
ginia and Tennessee railroad, when about Q
miles east of Bristol, discovered large log lay
ing across the track, which had evidently been
placed to throw the train off. The train was
stopped in time to prevent striking the log,
and it was removed, as it was thought, 50 the
cars would pass in safety. The train was start
ed, and, it is supposed, the log rolled back TO.
wards the track as the Postal car struck it. and
was trown off, Unaware of the accident the
Engineer ran the train near half mile, the Postal
car humping along over the ties, but finally get
ting off of them entirely, when the train was
stopped The car was found to be so badly
broken that it was deemed unsafe to bring 1t
to this city, and it was left at Abingdon. For
tunately no person was hurt, and none of the
other cars were thrown off, The accident de
tanned the train six hours beyond It's schedule

A THRILLING lNCIDENT-Ou Saturday al
ternoon last the eng ipeer Of the passenger train
going west on the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
Railroad, when short distance below Dcmold
station discovered small child sitting on the
track a little way ahead of the engine. down
brakes was sounded, the engine reversed and
every effort made to stop the train. One OF
the passengers looked out of the window and as
ceraned the cause of the alarm, and instantly
filled with horror stricken faces. 1t seemed I'M
possible that the train could be stopped in the
short distance and as the child did not move
its instant and horrible death seemed inevitable
Nearer and nearer drew the engine, though
with greatly reduced speed, and still the child
did not stir, until finally the engine reached the
spot, struck the child and knocked it from the
track! AS soon as the train stopped Captain
Sheridan, the engineer and others went back to
the child picked it up and marvellous to relate
found it entirely uninjured. 1t was about two
years old. There was no one in sight and the
nearest house was fully three quarters OF mile
distant, from which the infant is supposed TO
have strayed A man was seen approaching
from the direction of the house. and as the train
had been delayed the child was left to await his
arrival, which it seemed content to do, and with
feeling of relief on all sides the train was
started on it's way Cumberland Ncrs.

THE 'BABEs IN THE WooD" have turned up
at Hilsdale, New York Three children, aged
four, six and eight, Of john Foley, residing in
the mountains, strayed off after huckebcrries
The mother missed them, and blew the dinner
horn for circuit of a mile around the house, in
hopes of attracting their attention but in vain
Night came on with heavy rain, and put an
end to the search. The next morning the vii
lage Of Green River was reused, and all the peo-
pie scattered in different directions in the noun
titus. About 3 o clock in the day the children
were discovered huddIcd together under tree
aud covered with leavs, They put out their
hands and began to cry as soon as found The
scene when they arrived at their mountain home
was very affecting. The mother ran to meet
them, screaming and crying and catching first
one 10 her arms and huggiug that for a moment
then letting it down and taking another one and
pressing that to her heart, and so on for nearly
an hour before she became Gained By this
time all the hunters had returned from the
search and they too, had to kiss and hold the
children and unbidden tears came to the eyes of
great stalwart men who had never known tears
since their childhood.
