The Cedar Valley Times (Rep in an cdi-
torial article upon the recent Union State
Convention pays the following handsome
tribute to the nominee for Governor:


THE ticket they put in nomination is a
good one n B. Baker has had experience
in the capacity for which he is now nomina-
ted in the Old Granite State. During his
residence in this State, he has not been an
Office seeker, although elected to the Legis-
lature two years ago. It was done entirely
on his popularity. While we shall not
support the Union Ticket, we have not the
heart to speak desparagingly Of N. B. Baker:
Every one that knows him, knows him To
be a sound man, or else Gov. K;rkwood
would not have rendered him the Office Of
Adjutant General" a.


OF Mr.. Noble, the nominee for Supreme
Judge, it tises the following complimentary
and merited language:


s'Rcuben Noble; Of Clayton coiinty, i. the
candidate for Judge. We have spoken so
often Of Mr. Noble, in connection with thiS
Office, that we are not disposed to take back
one word we have said in his favor hereto
fore. He is Just as good II man as he ever
was, and if elected, we know he will make
a most excellent Judge


The editor has also read the resolutions
of the convention and has the frankness 10
say that they ''have good ring, and ".
have no doubt bus what they express tho
true feelings of the convention"

How THE ENEMY GET lNFoRMATIoN.-Col.
Forney writes from Washington to the Phila-
delphia Press


SIT is the frequent boast of the Southern
traitors that every movement of our armies is
Immediately made known to them, and that
the free States abound with their spies, who,
under the cloak of loyal professions, obtain
possession of the confidence of the Union men,
which they use and abuse without hesitation.
Washington city is the very nest of these ver-
min. They often among the loudest to
shout hosannas to the Union but let battle
be lost to the American flag, and they cannot
restrain their joy. The female secessionists
who shelter themselves behind the immunities
and privileges of their sex, delight in every
kind of demonstration against the government,
and are only dangerous when they irrtate their
lords and masters by pretending to sympathize
with the canse of the country. Then they be-
come the efficient and vigilant auxilaries of
Davis and his crew. 1t is believed here that,
immediately after the movement upon Nun
sons Hill had been decided upon by the mill
tary authorities and the Cabinet, information
was conveyed to the rebel troops across the
Potomac, and upon this admonltion they re-
treated without the loss of a man."

OUTWARD AND VISIBLE SIGNS OF COMING WAR


The AVAILABLE MILITARY AND NAVAL FoRCEs &c


Since the close of the Mexican war there has
been nothing to equal the intense excitement which
prevails in this city consequent on the military and
naval movements that have characterized the last
two or three days. The concentration of troops
at Fort Hamilton; the ncessant sound of the buge,
and the frequent drills at Governors Island; the
marching of company of the United States artiI-
lery through the streets of Brooklyn. and their
emharkatiOn on board the hired steamer Atlantic,
with large number of soldiers belonging to other
branches of service the unusual activity displayed
at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, caused BY the sudden
commissioning of the United States steamer Pow
hatan and her hasty preparation for sea and sud
den departure the increased efforts to hasten the
repair and equipment of the frigates Roanoke and
w Wabash and the brig Perry, and the air of impen-
etrable mystery with which the military and naval
authorities endeavor to enshroud these movements
and ignore the signs of preparation for war that
are so palpabe to the most careless observer, all
point to the stern fact that the United States are
fast drifting into civil war, the end Of which it is
fearful to contemplate.


Nor is it in New Y ork alone that these unwonted
signs and tokens of war visible in the North.
From Boston learn that at the Charlestown
Navy Yard degree of activity prevails equal to
that manifested in the Brooklyn Yard We are
told that eight hundred men are there actively chi
ployed; that the brig Bainbridge is ready for sea-
and awaiting her crew, and that the steamships
minnesota MlSslSSlPpl ana lOIOTaQO are nearly
ready. When, in addition TO these significant facts,
it is remembered that immense quantities Of gun
powder, round shot, shell, grape, canister, and
other destructive missiles known to modern war
fare. together with light howitzers and flying ar-
lery being taken board each vessel, it is ap-
parent to the meanest capacity that warlike opera
tons by land well as by sea are intended; Tor it
is preposterous to suppose that these last named
weapons are intended as part of the armament of
vessels of war, while the munitions of war al

several vessels intended for the South, are in far
too large quantities for the mere equipment of the
respective vessels. Then there are those mysteri-
Gus boxes marked "Captain J. Yogdes, Fort Pick
ems" All these, repeat, are signs visible as
the nose upon mans face that isintended. In
order that the full significance of this unmstakable
fact may appear, here present recapitulation
of the military and naval preparations already
made and in progress here in the North.

HARRISBURG, April S.-Governor Curtin will send
message to the Legislature tomorrow, recon-
mending the appropriation Of half million dollars
to purchase munitions Of war. He takes the ground
that our people have been so long accustomed to
peaceful pursuits that they have lost their military
habits and that it is necessary, amid the disturbed
condition Of the surrounding States to begin to
prepare the of selfprotection; that it is
the duty of the State to assist in the enforcement OF
the National laws. A Republican caucus will be
held on this subject tomorrow.


The State Treasurer declares that the appropria-
ton must be raised by loan. To-day steps were
taken in the Legislature for the postponement OF
the time of adjournment, for the consideration OF
this subject.

pended all resources. Nor are we of opin-
ION that the interval from now till then
will be extremely remote. The desperate

need only TO be defeated, to create such
CONSERVATION and discouragement among
them as will seriously hamper their ope-
rations, and curtail their military strength.

RB Garibaldi has reached his home in Ca

gained His friend Victor Emanuel. during his
absence winning freedom for his country and
nations for his King, had changed the stony
desert" Of the island into a garden, and erected
mansion, surrounding it with shady groves
and fine plantations, in the place where former
ly stood but poor cottage. Garibaldis joy on
his arrival is thus naively expressed


" He speaks with enthusiasm of his repained
freedom, and be has been anxious to extend il
even to three war horses, which he with his own
hands unsaddled and unbridIed, and allowed
freely to run about the country the moment he
set foot on his own isle. So eager was the
Dictator to be free from the cares of state that
he with his own hands loosened the mooring
cable of the vessel which was to watt him away
from Naples to Caprera."
