HORACE GREELEY.
The Movements or Our Later Frank

PROVIDENCE, R. l., August 6.-The
familiar shore resort Of Silver Springs
has been an attractive place for excur>
sionists to-day, on account Of the visit
of Horace Greeley. Mr.. Greeley and
party arrived on the ground shortly
after one o'clock, and met with hand
some reception from the crowds who
were present. There was considerable
hapd.sh akiug, autograph writing, &c,
but Mr.. Greeley declined to make a
speech. Late in the evening he returned
to Providence. He is the guest OF
Hon. Thomas Davis.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CoNVEN.
TION.

The Democratic Congressional Con'
vention at Clarksburg yesterday nomi'
mated Hon. BENJAMIN WILSON, OF Har,
rison county, as candidate for Cons
gress in this District. Mr.. WILSON is
a native of Harrison county, where he
has resided until the present time, and
is known to the people OF the whole
State as an active, consistent, energetic
and eloquent member of the Demo-
cratic party. He is man OF much
personal popularity and has many warm
friends in every county Of the District
Thst be will be triumphantly elected
admits of no doubt, and he need fear
no opponent that the Radical managers
can put in the field against him.
Ohio county's candidate, J. HANSON
Coop, Esq, received very handsome
vote indeed; one of which he may
Justly feel proud. He had made almost
no canvass for the nomination, and was
only suggested few weeks ago. He is
wi,hal a young man who, notwith-
standing the high estimation in which
he is deservedly held by his friends
wherever known, lacked that acqusint-
snce throughout the District which his
present candidacy has go favorably in'
creased. He can afford to wait, and,
while continuing his labors in behalf o:
the Democratic cause, bide his time.
Success will certainly come to one who
deserves 80 well.
The selection Of WILLIAM z. HUB
sARD, Esq, as Presidential Elector for
the First Congressional District is a
merited recognition Of end concession to
the Liberal Republicans Of the State
who are laboring with US, heart and
hand, for a reformation in the admins
tration OF National affairs. Mr.. HUB
BARD was one OF the first in this State
TO abandon the GRANT party and declare
for GREELEY, aud for the amnesty and
reconciliation which GREELEY candi-
dacy represents. He was among the
first 10 pronounce against GRANTS re-
election, and is now one Of the most
active and earnest in support OF the
candidates nominated at Cincinnati and
ST Baltimore.
The Liberal Republicans in West
Virginia generally recognize the truth
that the campaign between GREELEY
and GRANT is being fought no'0; that q
Radical victory on the 22d Of August
will be the sure forerunner Of GRANT
victory in November; and, recognizing
they will cordially support the Demo-
cratic cause at the State election and
join hands now with all the opponents
Of Grautism. The nomination of Mr..
HUBBARD as elector means this and
nothing more: that all the friends OF
good government, both State and Ma
tional, will stand together in the pres
ent contest and labor in harmony for
the glorious end which all have in view.
So far as we are able to learn last
evening after the result Of the Conven-
ton had been III ade public, both nomi-
nations were very cordially received in
this city, and both will command the
full vote Of all who are laboring for
Democratic success.

A CONVINCING LETTER From GEN. LEW.
wALLACE-A MOTHER PILE OF ISLANDERS
SWEPT ASIDE.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, Aug. 30. 1872.
Editor Omaha Tribune and Republican,:
am in receipt of your letter of the 23d
inst, ask lg if Gen. Grant was drunk at the
battles of Donelson and Shiloh, and request
ing full particulars. 1t was my fortune to
be one of council of war, assembled on Gen.
Grants boat at Fort Henry the day before
the army moved on Fort Donelson. The
council was in session the greater part OF the
afternoon. Gen. Grant presided in person,
and pas perfectly sober. There was pox
of cigars on the table, but no liquor OF any
kind was seen or drank. The army march
ed next morning, (Feb. 12). shook hands
with Gen. Grant when he mounted his horse
and took his place in the colnmn. He tcds
,,erfectIy sober then. The General left me
behind in command of Fort Henry, but, by
OF, er, rejoined him on the l4th at noon:
He was at his headquarters, close in rear of
Gen. C. F. Smiths line of investments
There were crackers, coffee and cigars, but
no liquor. In my presence, Gen. Grant
wrote an order constituting the third divis-
ion ofhis army, specifying precisely the regi-
ments-your noble First Nebraska among
TIE rcst-and assigning me to the command.
Ihave the original order yet. 1t is lengthy
and in Gen. Grants own hand, as were
nearly all the orders that came from him IL. IN
that campaign. The guns were pounulLiSS
away while he wrote. A drunken man cou,u
not have written it. The division VIZ Tho,, o
