Erie Dispatch. Great Rifle ShootiDg. Mr. Cleveland in his "Hints to Biflc mcn," relates the following story of a feat performed by Captain Wilson of 12th Kentucky Cavalry, which is likely to live as one of the most extraordinary ever ac complished with firearms. Captain Wil son is an unconditional Union man, living in a disloyal neighborhood : His neighbors had threatened his life. In consequence of this Captain Wilson had fitted up a log crib across the road from his front door as a sort of arsenal, where he had his Henry Bine, Colt's Be volver, &c. One day, while at home din ing with his family seven mounted guer illas rode up, dismounted aud burst into his diniug roiu and commenced firing upon him with revolvers. The attack was so sudden that the first shot struck a glass of water his wife was raising to her . jpSj breaking the glass. Several other shots were fired without effect, when Cap ; tain Wilson sprang to his feet, exclaim j ing, "For God's sake, gentlemen, if you wish to murder me, do not do it at my j own table in the presence of my family." j This caused a parley, resulting in their ! consent that he might go out doors to be shot. The moment he reached his front door he sprang for his cover, and his as sailants commenced firing at him. Seve ral shots passed through his hat, and more through his clothing, but none took i effect upon his person, lie thus reached , his cover and seized his Henry Bice, aud ; turned npon his foes, and in five shots i killed five of them j the other two sprung ! for their horses. As the sixth man threw j his hand over the pommel of his saddle, : the sixth shot took off four of his fing ers; notwithstanding this he got into his saddle, but the seventh shot killed him; then starting out, Captain Wilson killed the seventh man with the eighth shot. In consequence of this feat, the State of Kentucky armed his company with the Henry Bifle. Egk, Some "fellow" way down in Ohio, who' is probably too lazy to work and to honest to steal, sighs his soul away in the following poetic effusion: "Oh, is there no happy land A land beyond the seas Where pot-pie smokes in boundless lake And dumplings grows on trees. Where ginger-bread is found in stacks And 'Sweitzer' by the ton ; And when you do a job of work, You get the 'ready John' Where Nature's lesson may be read In every babbling brookl Where bumble-bees don't sting a chap, And mully cows don't hook!" BA restless genius, who went to a Quaker meeting, and after bearing the decorous gravity as patiently as he could for an hour or two, at last declared he could not stand it any loner. "Why," said he, "it's enough to tire the very a out." "Yes, ineud," responded tne eld erly gentleman of the congregation, "does thee know that is exactly what we want?" JSgT A paragraph has been going the rounds concerning an old lady who has a mustache on her lip; to which a hateful contemporary adds that it is not uncom mon for young ladies to have mustaches on theirlips, but it is rarely that they grow there. - .

DELEGATES TO THE UNION NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Conferees selected from the seve ral Counties of this Congressional District, to chose Delegates to the Union National Convention to meet at the city of Balti more on the 7th of June next, according jto resolution, met at Easton, on Tuesday, May 10th, 18G4. The Conference was organized at 2 o' clock P. M., by selecting the following officers : Chaiarmn Samuel L. Cooley. Secretary II. A. Sage. The credentials of the different Con ferees where presented. Owing to some misunderstanding, two sets of Conferees appeared from Carbon County. After hearing the statements of these Conferees and examining their creden tials, the Conferees decided to admit one from each set. T. F. Walter and Dr. D. K. Shoemaker were accordigly admitted. Dr. Shoemaker substituted P. B. Weit zel, who took his place. On motion of James L. Mingle, the Conference then adopted the following resolution : Resolved, That the number of Con ferees in this Conference shall be two for each member from this Congressional District in the House of Bcpresentatives nf Pennsylvania, and therefore that - - . , . n , , Northampton shall have four, Carbon two, i an?. lrAi1??, fcZ, KJU U1UUUU lu was iuvu uuauiiuuuoij Resolved, That Hon. A. H. Boeder,, of Northampton, and Gen. William Lilly, of Carbon, be the Bcprcsentativc Delegates from this Congressional District to the Union National Convention to meet at the city of Baltimore on the 7th day of June next, to nominate candidates tor the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, and in case of the inability of Hon. A. II. Boeder to attend said con vention, that John N. Stokes, Esq., of Monroe, be said delegate in his place, and in case of the inability of Gen. William Lilly to attend said Convention, that Dr. D. K. Shoemaker, of Carbon, to be said delegate in his place. After a free interchange of sentiment in which there was great unanimity and good feeling the Conference on motion ad journed. S. L. COOLEY., Chairman. II. n. Sage, Sccaetary. To Manufacturers of Farm Implements and Machinery. The Committee charged with the" DE PABTMENT OP AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY in the Great Sanitary Pair, to open on the 5th of June, in the city of Philadelphia, begs leave earnestly to invite the active co-operation of all who may be able to contribute, wherever resi dent, but especially those located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware. It is the ambition of the Committee to make this Department worthily represent, in its own sphere, the controlling indus trial interest of the country. The simplest article will be equally acceptable with the most elaborate. The implement lowest in money value, with that most costly. It is people's fair, expressive of sympathy and affection for the suffering soldiers of the Union, and all are cordially invited to co-operate in the good work. Let each one contribute to the cause in proportion to his means. A Grubbiug-hoc, or Hay rake, the handy workmanship of him who toils for daily bread, will be as gratefully received, highly estimated, and conspicu ously displayed, as the most costly ma chine, the triumphant result of combined capital and skill. Come, then, one and all, with much, with little, and swell the testimony of the people's gratitude. If there be any who would willingly contri bute a costly machine, but who cannot afford so to do, let them ask others to join in the gift. There is no better way to aid in furtherance of the benevolent ob ject of the Fair. - It is suggested that greater money results may be attained if the machines be finished in the ordinary way only thus no special effort will be needed in preparation, and larger gifts may be affor ded.

The distance from Sacramento (Califor nia) to Virginia (Nevada) is about one hundred and fifty miles. The road runs up the Sierrc Nevada mountains, qnd is the greatest thoroughfare on the conti nent. A recent letter from Virginia City to the St. Paul Press thus speaks of the "big thing All that we cat, drink, or wear, as well as machinery for mills or mines, building materials, steam engines, &c, are hauled over the mountains from California; ex cept our vegetables, which are raised on our ranches. This makes an immense amount of teaming, employing some thirty-five thousand teams, mostly mules, av eraging at least six to a team. There are as mauy as ten mules sometimes in a team employed in this hauling, and they take a load of seven or eight tons. The wag ons are of monstrous size, the wagon box es being built sometimes eight feet high, aud flaring fore and aft, so as to hold a load almost equal to Noah's Ark. The driver rides the near wheel mule, driving the whole team with one rein one pull to the left aud to two the right aud holding in one hand the line at tached to the powerful brake, with which he can at once stop this monstrous load on the steepest hill; and the hills are no trifles on the road over the Sierra. Freight from Sacramento varies from two and three-quarters to ten cents per pound, according to the season, the roads being bad in winter, and best in summer. The roads (called "grades" here) over the mountains are all toll:roads, built by private corporations and individuals, and the rates of toll are enormous. It costs a heavy team from thirty to forty dollars for tolls from Sacramento to Carson. Still, were it not for this system we should have no roads, and all pay their tolls cheerfully. "Crack" teams wear an arch hung with bells on each mule's back; but if a "bell team" gets stuck with its load, and a team of the same number of mules not wearing bells, pulls the load out, the law of the road is inexorable, that the victor team must take the belt. A Bold Experiment. The editor of the Woonsocket Patriot makes merry over the mistake of an old Shanghia hen of his that has been "set ing" for five weeks upon two round stones and a piece of brick! "Her anxiety," he says, "is no greater than ours to know what she will hatch. If it proves a brick yard, the hen is not for sale." gss,A man up town says he has a lit tle machine in his house which has ac quired perpetual motion. It is a simple contrivance, requires no weights, lines or springs to make it go, but go it does, and not only will not stop, but to save his life he cannot stop it it is his wife's tongue ! jjs, If we would enjoy ourselves we must take the world as it is, mix; up a thousand spots of sunshine, a cloud here aud there, a bright sky, a storm to-day, calm to-morrow, the chill, piercing winds of autumn, and the bland, reviving air of summer. s A Bad Name. A story is told of a tavern keeper by the name of A. S. Camp. The painter in painting his sign, left out the points and so it read; Tav ern kept by A S CAMP. J3T Old Mrs. Dranley is a pattern of household economy. She says she has made a pair of socks last fifteen years, by merely knitting new feet to them every winter aud legs every other winter.

Your correspondent Beta left the front this morning at 8 o'clock. His swift steed bore him to Bell Plaine in time to catch the afternoon boat, aud has just ar rived, bringing for The Tiubuxe again the latest intelligence from headquarters. Headquarters Army of! the Potomac, ) Wednesday, May 11 8 a. m. j At li o'clock yesterday, the most des perate of all the battles yet fought was commenced. It continued up to nearly 8 o'clock. In dogged stubbornness, Wa terloo and Solferino pale before the ter rific onslaught of Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Po. Two divisions ol Burnside's Corps held the right, the 5th and Gth Corps the center, and the 2d Corps the left. Our line stretched six miles on the north-east bank of the Po, the Bebels occupying the south-west bank aud the Tillage of Spottsylvauia. At 2 our artillery gained a good range, and poured shot and shell, grape and can ister into their ranks, as they, with fran tic recklessness of life, charged forward upon our infantry lines. The enemy used but little artillery in reply. Prison ers state that they were deficient in am munition, and could not. The impression prevailed at headquar ters during the forepart of the day that B well's corps had left for Bichmond on Monday. All prisoners taken were from Longstrcet's and Hill's corps, but before yesterday's battle closed, Ewell returned, if he had left, and Lee's entire army and our whole force were pitted for three hours at a hand-to-hand struggle without a parallel in history. Gen. Grant and Gen. Meade were in the saddle constantly personally directing movements. It was arranged that the entire 9th Corps should charge the ene my's right flank, but pending the severest onslaught made by Lee just before dark, it was discovered that he had advanced around our right flank and was moving down in dense columns for a last and after-dark struggle to break through our lines aud dash upon our supply trains, then known to be packed on the plank road to Fredericksburg. This changed Gen. Burnside's purpose, and he securely held his ground and threatened the, enemy's extreme right, while the Gth Corps charged his right center, and (at 7 o'clock) drove him from his first line of rifle pits, capturing five guns and between two and three thousand prisoners. The quick eyes of our chieftains, how ever, saw the Bebel maneuver. Our men were faced about, our trains all moved to the rear, new positions instantly secured for our artillery, and the enemy's expect ed coming patiently awaited during all the long hours of last night. No demon strations wore made, however, and except the occasional shouts of pickets, all was quiet up to 8 o'clock to-day, when- I left. It was believed that the enemy had Riiftnrnd so severely that he could not in his crippled condition avail himself of the decided advantage he had gained. By others it was supposed he had at tempted another flight, but as his commu nication with Bichmond is believed to have been severed by Sheridan, and his flanks and rear constantly harrassed by our forces, he must surrender or kill his "last man" in battle .as he seems- deter mined in frantic rage to do. In so horrible a strife- it must not be supposed that we escape the severest pun ishment. Our losses in j'estcrday's fight were much greater than in any of the bat tles of the previous week. It is true there is a smaller precentage of killed in proportion to the number wounded than iu any previous battle, and a very largo number are but slightly wounded. Roads, fields, and woods aro literally swarming with these suffering heroes, who have defied wounds aud death that the natiou might survive. So iucessant have been. the inarching and fighting that many are beingover comc with fatigue, and several have been sun-struck; yet never was seen so cheer ful, so resolute, and even exultant a body of men on any of the world's great battle fields. All honor to this sublime hero ism, which so nobly welcomes death aud wounds. Bebel prisoners assert that Lee ordered all his wounded men able to hold a mus ket to take their places in the ranks again for yesterday's battle. Our wounded are being conveyed with all possible dispatch to Fredericksburg, and thence, via Belle Plain, to Washing ton. But for a tender regard for these disa bled heroes, abandoned to their fate and burning up in the woods left on fire (as the Bebels also leave their dead unbu- ried,) our army would ere this have been thundering before the Rebel Capital; but we can afford to wait. Men who have faced musketry and cannon for a week, and fought better each succeeding day, are invincible, and they will soon win the complete triumph their valor so richly merits. Time after time did they hurl back In disorder the solid massed columns of the foe, and if perchance they staggered with the shock, it was only for more superhu man energy to charge back upon him. The old guard at Waterloo pales before these men. Our entire losses thus far, in killed, wounded, missing, &c, must reach near 40,000. The enemy's loss in killed is much much greater than ours; his wounded a bout the same. He is supposed to hold some 2,000 of our prisoners, and we must have at least 5,000 of his men, while our scouts report the roads literally alive with his stragglers. It is a mathematical ques tion requiring only a few more days to determine the limit of his endurance. As your reporter neared Prcdericks burs about 10 o'clock this morning can nonading had been resumed,, and our ar my was unquestionably engaging the en emy again. We crossed the River Po on Tuesday, but withdrew. We charged across it a gaiu last night, after the enemy had weakened his right in order to mass all his force on our right. It was the Vermont brigade which charged the enemy at the rifle pits, and the 2d Yermont held them till midnight, when Gen. Meade recalled them. Thus far we have not lost a gun since the second day at the Wilderness, a sin gle wagon, since the campaign opened. All prisoners unite in asserting that Lee is dumbfounded at the present con duct of our army. Immediately upon his getting orders from Jeff. Davis to return to Richmond aud withdraw from our front at the Wilderness, he dispatched a brig ade across the Bapidan, and planted ar tillery so as to command Germania ford, supposing of course that we were to pur sue our usual course of fighting and then falling back. The brigade remained there one day and two nights without any chance of at tacking our retreating columns, and only had the effect of turning back our woun ed. The pertinacity with which Grant hangs to him is so unusual and so unex pected, that Lee is perfectly bewildered. Gen. Talbot was captured last night, and his horses taken from him between Acquia Creek and Fredericksburg on his way to the army. Gen. Crittenden went to the front this morning. Up to 3Ionday night the reserve artil lery had not been brought into fire. It w!is snnnnsfid to have been hotlv at work ' I t m yesterday beyond Spottsylvania Court- House.
