After a full and fair dis cussion of thq subject, the new. system was re jected and the old system reinstated. Nearly all the 1 district*in the county, were represented, and the presumption is that the matter was fully discussed among the people as dne notice was given of the Convention some weeks ago. Yf.e were actively eplisted }n behalf of the new system. Our feeble efforts were 'given, to its advocacy, from the beginning. We still believe it to be the best, and were anxious to have it get a fair trial for one year. The overwhelm ing vote with which it was thrown overboard, shows that the people were not yet prepayed for it. We howto the popular will, thus expressed, and trust that under the old system the Repub lican party will, in the future, as in the past, secure men for candidates in whom the ipeople will have implicit confidence, men who will reflect credit upon*themselves, tbe party and the county. t j Memphis was possessed by our victorious troops on Friday, Commodore. Paris, flag-of ficer of the Mississippi flotilla, appeared off the city on Thursday night. On Friday morn ing be found a Hebei fleet of eight rams and gunboats in Lis path.. He whipped tjiem, of coarse, as that was what he wept there to do. The fate of the;Rebel craft was remarkable— Considering their names. The “Gen. Beaure gard” was Mown up and burned; the “Sterling Price” had a wheel carried away; the “Jeff. Thompson” was'set on fire; the "Sumter” was riddled with shot; the “Little Uebri-”' ! Bxploded, and one—supposed to be the “Van Dorn”—sne ceeded-in running away. At the close cf the engagement, the city was quietly surrendered. Accounts differ ag to the feeling in the city. Some say the old flag was bailed with joy. Official dispatches Bay nothing about the burn ing of houses or cotton, but others asqert that 500 bales were destroyed. No person was killed on our side, and but one wounded. Gen. McClellan has forwarded to the War Department his official summary of the losses In the battles on Saturday arid Sunday week. They are as follows : Killed,. 890; Wounded, 3,627-; Missing, 1,222; Total, 5,739. The de tailed list will be forwarded as soon as the facts can be ascertained. Doom hovers over wicked Charleston. That viper’s nest and breeding-place of rebellion is, ere (his time, invested by Union arms—per haps already in our hands. I f there is any city deserving of holocaustis infamy, It is Char leston. Should its inhabitants choose to make its site a desert, blasted by firs, we do not think many tears would be shed. Travetere of to-day are quite udeoided as to the location of ancient Carthage ; travelers of 2862 may be in the same doubt about Charleston. Gen. Fremont was at Harrisonburg, 70 miles south of Winchester, and but about'2s miles this side of Staunton, on Saturday. ' His ad vahee was pressing hard upon Jackson’s rear guard, and the Rebels were making the best possible time in retreat. At Harrisonburg oar cavalry fell into an ambush, and a sharp fight ensued, in which the Rebels were routed. Col. Wyndbiim of the Ist New-Jersey Cavalry was taken prisoner, a'nd several! other officers were killed or taken ; 35 men were killed, wounded, and missing in this regiment. The Kano Rifles also suffered severely, their- colonel (Kane) be ing seriously wounded and taken prisoner-; Capt. Taylor also wounded and captured, and Cnpt. W. ‘F. Blanchard wounded ; Lieut. J. J. Wayne is supposed to.have been killed; and the Rifles lost in all 55 men. Finally our men succeeded in driving the enemy off, and captur ing their camp and stores. Southern papers received at Baltimore state that on Tuesday the Union gunboats were moving np as .if to engage the Rebel batteries near Charleston, but (of course) that Gen. Gist was confident of his ability to drive them back. On Wednesday; thff Union forces, 2,000 strong, had not been driven back, but bad land ed on James lilind, at the very threshold of tbs city. Thera was a-battle, and ithe enemy (Unionists) bad been repulsed and 20 of them captured. Another dispatch, dated on the aft ternoon of the same day, says that'the enemy (Unionists) were 1,700 airotig oh Battery, and John Islands, and an advance vas imyinent. Nothing was said about Gen. Gist's ability to resist that imminientadvance. Tt is more than probable that tbs vile nsst of treason is now in the bands of the brave and loyal men of the North. . ~>4 :' ; A brother of Judge.

It'was not • feeling of despair, for no one lost'the least confidence in Banks, bis men, or union cause; bat on the contrary, they felt a stronger deter mination than ever; to never let-each a bnndof inhuman'wretches tear- down-this- fabric of ■freedom, and erect upon its,mine, ojie fashioned after their own wicked hearts, while there-was s drop of blood winding through their veins.— We search the history' of modem warfare in vain,' to find a parallel, and euch acta cannot help; but bring upon their beads ihe just con demnation of every nation. Whet, wo look at Banks’position, and the limited force at bis command, it is not to be wondered at, that be was repulsed and obliged to fall 'back, and the sitrof that defeat, will rest, not upon-hie 'sol diers, but upon those'Who have, from time to lime, been ordering division after division from -his Command, to other fields. It eeetne almost impossible that military men coold be blind en ough to expose to the' enemy, a broad belt of country, right in front pf ihe Capita), like the one left for Banks to protect, with a- force' of only six thousand men. But if it is our luck to suffer defeats, let ue not falter in a cause like this, or consider Washington in danger’; for that city is os safe from the rebel bands, as the most obsenre school bouse in old Tioga, and' those-who consider it an easy prey to an- ene my, but little understand the strength of the fortifications which surround it, or the shower of .iron hail which would be poured out upon an advancing fpe, for miles before they could reach its walls. If the Capital is never destroyed, until the army of Davis destroys !*, it will stand -untarnished, long after 'the voices that now echo in its balls, nre hushed in death If one can judge by the papers, the home guards, away up among the icebergs, of the north, are more in danger, than those who are now ot\the heated, battle fields, with the ene my’s guns thundering in their ears. Last Monday, the first brigade of the Reserve Corps, under Gen. Reynolds, crossed the Rap pahannock, and encamped near the city, where they remained until yesterday, (Saturday.) when we were ordered back upon the north side. Penn give no reason for this change, except that our present position is a'much stronger one, for here we can bold at bay, five times our num ber. Gen. Reynolds, who is military governor of; the city and grounds, is still in town, and be; keeps things about as they should be; be or dered bis men to be orderly, and attend to their own business, and if any of the inhabitants insulted them while in the discharge of their duty, to plunge the bayonet to their hearts.— Them’s my sentiments, for we , have already played with them too long. There woe a stri king contrtut in the faces of the fair sex, when we passed through the city one week ago, and yesterday; for at, the former time, there was scarcely a female face to be seen,, except occa sionally, one through the half closed shutters; but yjesterday, when they evidently thought we were on the retreat, every door and window was blockaded with smiling face, and little boys ran out, and shouted for Davis. But I was informed by a guard this morning, who remained in town, that wbeii they jmw us draw up in- line of battle, and strike oor tents opon the opposite 1 bights, and a long line of guns still looking over into the city, they again put on their long faces as usual. - When the news of Banks’ defeat reached here, the inhabitant!) did not disguise their feel ings of joy, but huddled together in little groups-on the corners of the streets and bad a merry limeover the victory. No one felt disposed to molest them, fur they have had no reason to be joyful, since the battle of. DrsnesvlUe, and! have no reason to think hut what this will be their last. The health of Col. McNeil, is improving," and he soon Will be able to take command of the regiment. He has been very low, and was for a. number of days insane, and talked of nothing but his regiment, and .the conspiracy against him to .destroy it; (meaning Kane;) but ho ia now sane, and under the careful treat ment of Dr.. Humphrey, is fust recovering. Col. Kane and bis four companies, have not yet returned to the regiment, and probably will not, so I can tell you nothing about Capt. Mc- Donald’s company this week. The health of the regiment, is far better than it was two weeks ago. Uncle Sam has turned off bis old cook, and hired a new one, who gives us good soft bread, and beef steak. Lieut. Harrower is in "Washington, sick with a fever. This leaves company A, with but one commissioned officer—Capt. Holland—but thank fortune, ho can just run this machine. Fredericksburg is the bestlooking city I have yet seen in the South ; it contains about’ 6000 inhabitants, and is pleasantly situated on the south side of the Rappahannock, at the head of steamboat navigation. The main street re minds me very much of the main street in Wcllaboro, but it is not ns wide, dr well shaded. There are some splendid locations, but the most of the buildings are rather old. There is a beautiful cemetery just nut of town, (where I should judge the rich are buried; for there are a number of others near by, but 1 none to com pare with this,) which contains about two acres —is well laid out—walled in with brick, and huge iron gates, and is shaded vyith large and lovely weeping willows.- In this cemetery, is about 150 newly made graves,- where rebel sol diere are sleeping. There are 94 in one row,’ mostly from North Carolina. To this church .yard, the ladies of the city, and sjwarms of little girls, neatly dressed in white, come daily to trim the soldiers’ graves, and natter bowers upon their-tombs. As I stood and looked upon the low monnds around me, with the air fra grant with roseMmd many of white with pebbles and shells, gathered from’the ocean, ! could not but contrast their long home with Vhry many, of our own brave soldiers, who bays lain down their lives for, their country. — A fewyardsfropi this cemetery,|on a beautiful green bluff, stands the qnfinishpd monument which marks-the tomb of-Martha Washington, the mother of Gen.

CaMEfKEAE Falmouth, Va., June 3,1862. "We aije still,lying quietly by in the vicinity of Falmputh with (bo far as 1 can see) no im mediate!! prospect of a move'ln any direction; We have, however,.since I fast .wrote, ,had an opportunity of (enjoying: a nearer ..view: of City ofSFredericksbarg; ns upon the 25th of last roopth we, were ordered to prepare for a march. -- We were soon ready, but after n short march of about three milCs acrosa the river and out through the city into the open fields beyond we wererordured to halt and form our camp.— There we remained, until the 31st inst., when tyt a heavy rain wns causing the river.: to rise rapidly,' it was feared the bridges might be en dangered, thereby cutting off our communion tion with the forces upon this. s\de, it was deemed prudent to retire, and we were accord ingly, marched back to our old’ position upon the northern bank of the river. I was; somewhat disappointed in the appear ance of :theCity in. comparison with that which it presents when viewed from.this side. The, buildings are low, and the streets are narrow, deserted and'dirty. It looks as though it might have beien at one time a town of some impor tance, |ut had suddenly been visited plague.! And it has, fur the curse of Secession is stamped upon it in indelible characters. Its inhabitants are thoroughly Rebel in their feel-- ings and actions, and are now reaping some of. the consequences of their mad acts. If they are notbhnd, they can see the result in their deserted marts and in tte general stagnation of all kinds of business. As we passed outward through the town, I caught .sight of two'la dies at at an open widow who waved (heir handkerchiefs to os at the sight of the old Banner, It was an agreeable sight I assure you, being the only green spot I have seen in this desert of rebellion. While we are lying idle here, we are eagerly watching the movements elsewhere. We heard of the sudden attack upon Gen. Banks atFrout Royal almost ns soon as it was made, am) then our regular supply of daily papers was in some unaccountable manner suddenly, Knowing as we did to what small force his com mand had been reduced, you can imagine .with what intense anxiety we waited for tidings of the disasters which were.almost sore to follow. But the news oamo at last and with it .came the cheering assurance that the People of the North were equal to the emergency and that thousapda of loyal men were hurrying to the fescue.; In conjunction with thia we were knowing to some movements that were put on foot at f the first alarm, and knowing the char acter off the men who aralentrusted with carry ing thf m out, it is the general opinion here that the Rebel Jackson has anything but child's play upon his bunds for some time to come. The-newa of the evacuation of Corinth was received with gratification nod hailed with joy as another turn of the wheel toward the great end which is sure to come. Wonder how the leaders of the South will relish the first of “ Halkck’s epistles ,to the Corinthians.” Fo lowing close upon that we received news yesterday of a hard -battle fought by McClellan in tbej vicinity of Richmond, in which he beat the enemy terribly, and showed -him a “ Yan kee tyick” that must have astonished him not e little. Decidedly cool, that establishing a telegraph office away up in the clouds over looking the whole grand accne below, and di recting him just when and where to, mass his forces;to hurl them most effectually upon the foe. Such a man with such gealps should and surely will succeed in gaining for himself a place, in the hearts of the American people, second only to that of Washington. The sol diers if the array know how to appreciate his good qualities and despite the sneers and open enmity of those who would ruin him will stand by him to the last, for they know that when he says go I everything is ready and that there will be no unnecessary waste of'human life, or as the brave old hcro Scott term.- it “murder.” A bayonet charge in the face of strong in trenebments no doubt sounds very well oa pa per all,home by,the snug fireside, but the reality ia a vlery different thing. And I will Venture to nsajert that if the enemies of the sure policy Of McClellan”will come down and take their chanties with us ;. two |oldiers will be found who |rill taka the right and left of each one of them in the front rank in the attempt to take any battery, however formidable, at the point of the bayonet at the word of command. Tho soldiers in this army are fighting fur principle, not for pay, and the life of the meanestof them is BSjßweet to him and as precious In the sight of Gpd, as is that of the most powerful oppo nents? a policy which will insure success at the least possible loss of life. There is one thing sure, MeClellnil loses no ground. What advositage he has gained thus far, he has held in epita of all attempts to dislodge him, and ail the Territory he has gained is ceded irrevoca bly to the Government of the United States. He seems to lire but in the accomplishment ’drills work, a work-that is speedily coming to an end. “I venerate the man,-whose heart is warm, Whose hands are pare, whose doctrine! and Whose life Coincident, exhibit lucid proof That he is honest in the sacred cause.’’ ' 'And the time wilt-comp when -the .history of this par shall be written, when the American people and the. world shall h>ok to him as the presiding genius in the formation of the plan to crush the.mpat formidable rebellion the world has pier kBSTfSi. .

It was to re-affirm, or reject the new system of nomibating Conventions adop ted by the,Convention at Tioga,- last, fall, Hugh Young, of Wellsboro, in order to bring the subject fairly before the Convention, moved that the resolutions of the last Convention be reaffirmed. The Resolutions were called' for, end read by the Secretary, as follows: . Respited, That “the practice which seems to hare grfcwfi up In this county fur.tho last ten years, of per sona selecting themselves for office, advertising their nafnes to the public” through the county papers ns candidates, is of itself right .and proper; but; that ”l|ie practice of traveling aver tho county in all di rections, bogging and pleading the people to elect del egates instructed for them, has become a, nuisance, and ought to be” abolished; that “the effect of such a practice tending to promote bar gains between-the candidates; to provoke strife and discord, and in the end to place candidates before the public who are sometimes unworthy of public trust;” that the people themselves, and not political wire pullers who take advnntago'of a had system to pro mote their own selfish ends, should be allowed to say wlio their candidates for office shall be. That to re move those, and other abuses, this Convention hereby abolishes, so far as the County Republican organisa tion is concerned, the present Convention system, and tbpt we hereby adopt the following in its stead: The people of each township nnd borough wilt meet at the usual place of holding elections, and at a cer tain time agreed upon by the County Executive Com mittee’as heretofore, and shall oast each man forbim self, one rote fnr the person be desires to he nominated to any given office.

U. of the Friday following such primary election. After proper organization, these committees shall pro e'ed to count the votes cast for each candidate in-the several townships and boroughs in the county, and the person having the highest, number of votes cast for him shall be declared the nominee of the Repub lican party fnr that office, and shall receive the hearty support of ail the Republicans at /the election which follows. - ’ Resolved, That, as the above system, if properly earned out will represent more faithfully the wishes of a majority of the .people than any other, and, aa it at once does away with delegates, aad political traffic in any shape, we call upon all Republicans to aid us ia carrying out this much needed reform.
