ment. Mr.. blanchard was on his way TO
Boiie. but when no learned that the
steamer and her passengers we're all right.
he Immediately dispatched . messenger for
Virginia City. with instructions TO ride u

sorrow WAS removed from the hearts o. the
daughters Of Mr.. Holmes, Who. up 10 that
time, hal mourned thei- father - dead.
This IL not the first thing Of tho Kind
which has been laid al Mr.. Blanchard's
door. and nothing more than public opin-
ion il expressed when IL IL said that Hank
blanchard il q white man.

Paul, of Rockingham, was booked for a talk,
and was present to redeem his promise. We
are informed that he was enthusiastically
received by the people, and made very
able and eloquent speech of about two
hours in length. He discussed the whole
range of the State debt, defending the cause
OF the Readjusters, anG the sentiments enun-
ciated were responded to with the greatest
enthusiasm by the large audience present.
Charles e. Haas, of Rockingham, essayed
to represent the other side, but received
very little encouragement from the people.
Hartman Hiner, Esq, also addressed the
meeting in defence Of the position taken by
him in the Legislature, and in opposition to
the resolutions adopted on the occasion.
That veteran old Democrat and sterling
gentleman, A. Stephenson, Esq. was in tffe
chair, and such solid men as VIM. Hevener
participated in the proceedings. The reso-
,1tions sustained the Bal bour bill. demand
ed economy and retrenchment, and an equi-
fable settlement of the debt question, and
was adopted with only two dissenting voices.
