TIE WAR.-There has been great
deal Of newspaper talk, and but little
fighting is reported ~ yet. The fol-
lowing cableyram dated May Path,
tells Of q battle just commencing that
may assume important proportions:
"Batoum, Wednesday Afternoon
There was q tremendous cannonadt
to-day from the Russians. A battle
has Just commenced, and the firing Is
becoming general along the entire line
The Turkish batteries are replying
vigorously. The utmost enthusiasm
prevails among the Ottoman troops.
The Bsshi. Bazouks are preparing for
action. Every thing indicates des'
perate effort on the part Of the enemy.
1t is stated that the Russian force as
signed to the assault Of Batoum hs,
been strengthened by 10000 men,
who have just arrived from Arabian.
1t is reported that the Grand Duke
Michael commands the attack in per
son. The Turks are sanguine."

We find the following very sensible
suggestion in the proceedings of the
Pendleton county convention:
Resolved, That We recognize in Hon. J.
W. Tate, State Treasurer. the faithful, eff
cient officer and the sound Democrat; and
We are in favor Of his making the race for
reelection without the Formally Of nom
mating convention, and We recommend
that other counties express themselves up
on this subject in any manner that may
seem to them best.
We fully indorse this, and hope the
plan will be adopted by all the con-
ventions yet to meet. There is no ne
cessity for calling q State convention,
as II is not contemplated that any per-
son will care to enter contest for the
place with q man TO whom it has been
cheerfully conceded by almost every.
body.-[Yeoman.
The example set by the Pendlcton
Convention is a good one. and we sug.
gest that our County Committee take
similar action on our next County
Court day. Mr.. Tate's services have
been Of such an acceptable character
that he deserves the heartiest endorse
ment at the hands of all voters with.
out regard to party.
