THE VIRG1N1ANs AT THE CONGRESSIONAL
CoNvENrloN.-Th St. Louis papers, Of al
politics, seem to DO very much pleased with
the VirginiAns who were in attendance st
the Congressional gathering there. The
Democrat" says:
Governor Walker. who is the handsomest
man in the convention. was early in the fray
captured by the ladies', and became very
gracefully and cheerfully prisoner.
Judge Harris. of Virginia, with elegant
presence and studied manners, entertained
large knot of admiring friends.
Tho Tho hnst
and in the convention was L 7. Neal. OF
Ohio, and the next probably, was Smith, of
Virginia, whose face and figure bear strlk
ing resemblance to those OF the Lieutenant
Governor Of Missouri.
The "Globe'' in noticing Gov. Walkers
presiding. says:
| Among the distin guished members of the
convention which finished its labors gester
day, none made a stronger or more favora-
BILE impression upon our citizens than Gov

THE FIRST FOUND.

Upon examination the head was found to
be badly brokon, with an indenture on the
back part Of the skull, and both temples
smashed One eye had been bursted out
by the force of the blow, and the faes had
bssn out. A shoe hammer had been found
in the house which fitted the indenture on
the back part of the head It is supposed
he was stricken from behind and then the
temples broken by the hammer. The grave
was about two hundred yards from the house,
and the main plowed furrow ran crosswise
from it, The sides and middle had settled
some what, and an iron rod taken from the
end board ola wagon was run down the
sides of the graves before digging into it.
The house is to be moved off its foundation
to-day, aod it is supposed from the efluvia
arising from underneath it that another
body or bodies are buried. The clothing
had been stripped from the body, excepting
a WOODEN undershirt. 1t had not become
so badly decomposed but that it was easy to
identify it, The hair, face and whiskars
were in fair state of preservation, and the
remains were easily identified by Edward
York.

OPENING OF THE REST OF THE GRAVES.

DR.. York's body being found, further
search was made by thrusting a sharp-point-
ed iron into the earth, which developed the
fact that they were many more graves on
this half acre Of ground. and by nightfall
eight bodies 10 all exhumed, Of which the
following is partial list, so far as they
could be distinctly identified W. F Nc
Grouty, of the one hundred and twspt, third
Illinois infantry, Company D So Brown;
Henry Mckenzie, of Hamilton county, lad
and Mr.. Lonchore and his Iittls glrl.-
The latter had recently buried bis wife, and
was about starting to Iowa. The scsne
Thursday was too horrible to give even
faint description Of. Seven bodies in va
rious stages Of decomposition were lying on
tho ground by the SIDE Of their open graves,
their skulls broken in and throats cut
from ear to car, except the girl, eighteen
months old, who must have becn strangled,
or else thrown into her grave alive. She
was ia full dress, as her grandmother had
dressed her that morning. She was in the
bottom of the grave and her father lying
upon her. The child's body showed DO
marks Of violence.
