Reunion of old sailors and Soldiers.

Reunion Of Old sailors ana SOtdteFS'
Two coming important events Of interest
to sailors and soldisrs of the late war will
be the Reunion of the Naval Veterans at
Baltimore, September 10Th to 10Th, and the
Encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic at Washington, commencing Sep
tember goth, Immediately after the Sailors
Reunion. Interest in the reunion will be
heightened by the presence of the White
Squadron in the harbor Of Baltimore. Tho
G. A. r. Encampment will be the occasion
Of the greatest military assemblage in Wash
ington since the Grand Review of 1860,
following the fall of Richmond. For both
of these events the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad will sell tickets at greatly reduced
rates. Tickets will be sold from September
18th to Goth inclusive, valid for return
Journey until October 10th. During the
Encampment at Washington the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad will run excursions daily
to Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry and the old
Virginia battlefield, to oil of which points
tickets will be sold at low rates. The Bal
timore and Ohio is the familiar route to
thousands of veterans who travelled over II
early in the sixties as raw recruits to join
the ranks.

Er-Sate Senator @. II. Knott--A Hesot"-
ton aud Some Comments.
10 he Edi.or d WheeIing Register.

To the Editor Of Wheeling Register.
SIR On the 10Th of August the Ihir-
teenth Senatorial District Democracy met
in convention at Martinsburg and unani-
mously nominated Robert Earl, Of Jetter-
son county for State Senator, there being
no opposition. The following resolutions
was offered and adopted
WHEREAS, Senator C. II. Knott has
represented this district in the Senate OF
this State for the last four years with mark
ed energy aud ability, contributing much
to the success of Democratic principles and
policy; therefore, be it resolved that this
convention, in recognition of the faithful
services of Senator Knott and his untiring
efforts to promote the success of the Demo
cratic party throughout the State, do here
by endorse his political course"
Hon. W. II. Trayers endorsed the above
resolution in beautiful and eloquent ad-
dress. The friends Of Senator Knott. both
in and out of his distrct-and they are nu-
merous, for he has widespread acquaint-
ance throughout the State-very much re-
grel that he would not consent to 90 back
TO the Senate for another term. And espe'
cially does his farmer constituency through.
out the State feel that they have lost tried
and true friend from the halls of legisla'
ton. He is a farmer who farms with hi:
hands and brain and not with his chin
who breaches the gospel of advancement
| for the agricultural class by practice more
than by precept and at the same time he il
a safe, conservative business man-slow tC
move, but sure to move energetically in thC
right While firm friend of the farmer
and a strong believer in the efficacy of far
mers' organisations, he is slow to follow
after strange gods, or rashly and hastily &C
cept every Utopian idea that may emanatC
from the Lotus blossoms of some distem
pered brain. In other words, Senator
Knott, BY his legislative acts and by hi
course as Master of the State Grange, hal
proven himself the uualterable friend o
the agricultural interests of the State, and
at the same time antagonized no other ma
terial interest of Development We had oc
casion to watch his legislative course close
", and feel sure that time will demonstrate
that his every act while in the Senate wa
inspired by fsr-seeing craftsmanship.
His be the praise, who looking down in scorr
On the false judgment of the partial herd,

affairs of State.

Upon the completion of the business ses-

Smith, veteran who had served with dis
tinction in the Army of Northern Virginia.
Mr.. Smith delivered an eloquent address in

thetic attention Of the audience. He eulo-
gized the patriotism of the men who had
fought for the Confederacy in the field, as
we'll as of the women who had encouraged
and aided them at home; and he impressed
upon his hearers the Importance of never
losing sight of the fact that our contest then
was founded upon truth, and that this fact
will surely be recognized by history;

received by all present, and at its conclu-
sion Mr.. G. w. Croft arose and with few
