THE UNION CONVENTION.
The Union 'mOVernent is going on
bravely. As far as the offices •fire con
cerned to be nominated, we earnestly
urge,and advilf that no office-seekers
publish c ards ‘ oreeek for nominations by
canvassing in advance for them. We
hope to see the people at this time ini
tiate a new order of things. No man who
has previously been a political office
seeker, or a political office holder about
the Court House, ought to be now con
sidered by the people ; we want new
men-and good-men, on the simple plat
form of sustaining the Union. We hope
to„aee the Convention composed of the
best men it% the county—men who have
rarely attended Conventions. We
hope to hear of no-political question be
ing brought to bear upon the delegate
elections, and trust that no delegate will
go, into the ,Convention pledged to sup
port this - or that -- candidate. - This Con

Hon. David Tod was nominated by

Congressinan, on second ballot for Lieu
tenant Governor.
Dr: .G.'Velney Dorsey was nominated
for Treakittier by an overwhelming vote.
Judge Scott 'was nominated for Su

John H. Riley, of Columbus, was no
minated for Comptroller.
Rent. Cowan, of Belmont, was nomi
nated for Secretary of State.
John F. Torrence, of Cincinnati, was
nominated for Board of Public Works
on the second ballot.
The political antecedents of the nomi
nees are : Tod, Democrat; Stanton,
Republican; Dorsey, Democrat; Scott,
Republican; Riley, Democrat; Cowan,
Republican; Torrence, American. All
are first class men. The , Convention is
a complete and splendid success. There
never was a more auspicious work than
that performed here to-day.
Ohio has set us an example of har
mony and abrogation of all political
issues and differences which we of Penn
sylvania may wisely imitate. Allegheny
county, at all events, will follow the ex
ample of the Union cohorts of Ohio.
COL. CAMPBELL
Our community will begratifled to learn
that CoL Campbell has received . the very
flattering compliment from Gov. Curtin,
of the appointment of Colonel of Penn
sylvania Cavalry. This will be particu.
lftrly pleasing to the very large and influ
ential number of fast friends the Colonel
has;not only in this locality, but throughs
out the neighboring.counties.
The admirable conduct of CoL Camp.
bell, and the excellency of his command,
'during his late service as commander of
the Twelfth Regiment, attracted not only
the notice of our Governor, but received
flattering recognition from the War De
partment. His efforts to cultivate the
kindly feeling of the people of that portion
of Maryland among whom his regiment
was stationed, were altogether successful,
and while many were hostile to the cause
of the Union, all admitted themselves In ,
debted to Col. Campbell for the uniform
propriety of his command and the striet
discipline whi3h rendered themselves and,
their property secure. Marylanders, who
at first looked upon him and his regiment
as being so many marauders sent to lay
their rich country waste, In a few days,
found him the one to appeal to for protection
against the depredations of some of their
own people. This appointment will be
very acceptable to those who know him,
while it reflects credit upon the discrimi
mation of the appointing power.
NOT THE WAY TO DO IT.
We are informed that one or more.of the
candidates on the straight Republican tick
et are engaged (in the cant phrase of the
day) in setting delegates for themselves in
the coming Union Convention. The peo.
pie should be wained against these ped
dling politicians who are endeavoring to
force themselves upon the public, and they
will be exposed by name before the Con
vention assembles. These candidates have
taken their chances in a Convention which
refused to relax party lines and however
clever they, may be, they cannot expect to
force their - names upon a ticket to be formed
outside of the old gang of office hunters.
The game is dishonorable, and will meet
with the rebuke it deserves at the hands of
an indignant people. We hope we may be
spared the necessity of drawing public at
tention to the by name, more par•
ticularly as they stand fair in this comma•
nity,
THE MICHIGAN REGIMENTS.
The State of Michigan is certainly
entitled to gieat credit, both for the
kind of Ml3n which she has furnished
for this war and the manner in which
she has prepared them. We have seen
almost all of her service regiments, and
physically speaking, a finer body of men
we never looked upon. They are all
well clothed and equipped before leav
ing home and have only their arms to
get from the Government before they are
ready for the field.
POLITICAL MAGNANIMITY.
The Republicans of Somerset, county of
Bedford, nominated K. P. (Jamming for
the Sticriffalty Of that county, but the t3om.

M r. Cummins gave up his political aspire

Plenty to Eat.
Subsistence of the United States
army on the Potomac is now being well
oared for, and the troops sgtll hence
forth be plentifully supplied i iloit
and well cooked food. This itinadi .
evident enough by a stitetiint f thy'
Washington Star of whit ifi=nosi ' flaihg,.
at the Subsistence Deot,„in thiit city:
"The receiving depot for supplies is
located at the Western wharves, where
about twenty very ! hrgestoF e houses
have been erected and filled, while a
score of workmen are itgeting others.—
There are here over 3,000,000 rations,
of which there are 18,000 barrels of
flour, 9,000 barrels of beef, 3,000 bar
refs of pork, 500,000 pounds of coffee,
1 600,000 pounds of sugar, and 1,500,.
000 pounds of bread, with hominy,
crackers ) vinegar, candles, soap, &0.,
in proportion. Immense cargoes of hay
'and oats are daily arriving, and the
yard is thronged with teams loading for
the respective camps. Seven large
iron boilers are kept busy boiling meat
for the troops arriving at the depot and
other places prior to their permanent
location in camp. Several large schoon
ers are disoharging ice just below the
storehouses for the lospitalii and camps,
and three or four coal vessels add to
the forest of masts and rigging at the
wharves."
What Pennsylvania has Done.
We learn from the Harrisburg Tele
graph that an account made up at the
Auditor General's Office of the moneys
actually settled for military expenses,
at that office up to and including the
31st day of August, ult., amounts to
the sum of $1,515,716,40. This in
cludes all expenditures actually made,
whether on Auditor General or Gov
ernor's warrant, since the commence
ment of the rebellion, for enrolling,
subsisting, clothing supporting arming,
equipping, paying and lcransporting
troops, and all incidental expenses con
nected therewith. The amount of
outstanding unsettled accounts is not
actually known. It is not believed
that it can exceed—nor thought that
it can reach $lOO,OOO. Some of the
moneys included in the first stated ag
gregate are probably in the hands of
the heads of the several military de—
partments, not yet disbursed, and may
be in part refunded to the treasury.—
More than 40,000 troops have been
4,ransported,subsisted; nearly all clothed
and many of them have received two
months' pay, or more from the State.
A. model Speech
Fremont's speeoh at Cairo was a mod
el. Ho said: "My friends, I have much
to do and little time to spare, and there
fore cannot address you to-night as I
could wish. I will be very busy, and
the interest you .manifest will strengthen
my hands. I shall be glad to see you
after my work is done."
THE American Bank Note Company
have prepared twenty millions in the
circulating notes of the Treasury of the
United States, of the denominations of
$5, 810 and $2O, for immediate gradual
employment by the Department at
Washington. The notes are made re
deemable at New York, Boston Phila
delphia, Cincinnati and St. Louis.—
They will be used in the public dis
bursements, in place of the frequent
transfer of small gold coin from one de
pository of the Government to another,
but redeemed at all times in gold, on
presentation at the point of payment
and received at all times and all points
at par, for customs and other dues to
the Government. The operation will
be, it is said, pursued by Mr. Chase, to
the extent that it will save the trans
mission of specie or the disturbanceof
the money market, by unnecessary specie
drafts upon the great cities.
THE Oyster Trade, during the pre
sent season, will be affected by the war.
The principal sources of supply, as re
spects quantity and quality, are in Vir
ginia, and these are now effectually cut
off. There will, nevertheless be oysters
enough to satisfy the demand, but they
must come to us from the Maryland
shores and from New York. Baltimore
likely to feel most severely this inter
ruption of the oyster trade. It has
heretofore given employment to about
six thousand persons in that city
and vicinity, over four hundred ves
sels, and yielded annually upwards of
one and a half millions of dollars. It
is now estimated that the business will
suffer a decline of about, fifty per,cent.
THE Chamber of Commerce yester
day repeated their desire for a short and
effective war, commended the decision
and activty of the administration and
its officers, and re-pledged themselves
for the support of government' to the
end.

The Situation
Affairs at Washington rest upon "the
perilous edge." The line of secession.
pickets has gradually Steen drawing:
WeiOr Tait apt' the
fortificaetOs ofthe rebels havShetin ad
valeingthekly weak,:until now , along
the line'from& Alexandria to the Chain
Bridge a cannon shot from almost any
of our camps would fly over the_ out
posts or the breast works of the entmy.
Their regiments drill within sight of our
_strongest fortiftoations, and the flag of
treason flaunts the air within sight of
the Nation's Capitol.
It were impossible that this state of
things should continue very much longer
without an engagement.
Another Case of Secession.
The Bucyrus Journal, published in
Crawford county Ohio, is out against the
Government of Ohio, in Bucyrus county
and in favor of a confederacy of her own.
The cause of grievance is stated as fol
lows:
It refused to locate the capital at
Bucyrus, to the great detriment of our
real-estate owners.
It refused to gravel - the streets of
Bucyrus, or even to relay the plank road.
It refused to locate the penitentiary
at Bucyrus, notwithstanding we . do as
much towardilling it as any other coun
ty, thus blighting the hopes of our free,
independent and patriotic peanut ven
ders.
It refused to locate the State fair a
Bucyrus.
It located the Ohio canal one hun
dred miles east of Bucyrus.
We never had a Governor, notwith
standing we have any number of men
as superior to the hoary old dotard who
now fills that post as the bright, reful
gent sun is to a tallow oandle.
Ditto, ditto, ditto, as U. S. Senator.
It has enticed our citizens away, by
mating them Supreme Judges as soon
as they get out of the country.
It has compelled us to pay year after
year, our share of the State taxes.
It puts LIB in the same Congressional
district With Ottawa county.
No citizen of the county has ever
been appointed to any place where theft
is possible, thus wilfully keeping capi
tal out of the county.
It selected Seneca county mon for two
terms for State Treasurer, thus making
sure of having the treasury cleaned out.
It has stigmatized our county as
the "mud county."
It refused to pay our railroad subscrip
tion, and has never offered to slack
water on the Sandusky river.
These are but very few of the griev
ances we have submitted to. We could
stretch out the list indefinitely but these
are sufficient. We will no longer sub
mit. The storm is rising. Companies
of two-forty men are being organized
in every township. Our Representa
tives have agreed to resign next March.
The independent flag—muskrat rampant
weasel °enchant, on a field d'eggshell—
floats from poles on every corner. Cut
off from the State, direct trade wtih In
diana follows, released floor indebted
ness to Cincinnati and Cleveland, our
merchants will again lift their heads. We
are in earnest,. Armed with justice and
shawl-pins,
we bid the hireling tools of
a despotic Government defiance.
P.. 18. The feelings is intense, ex
tending even to children. A boy just
passed our office displaying the secession
flag. It waved from behind. Disdain
ing concealment, the noble, lion-hearted
boy wore a roundabout. We are firm.
N. B. We are calm, firm, unyield

WHEN WILL THE WAR END?-31r.
Seward thus answered this question in
a speech mado at his home in Auburn,
New York, a few days since:
"You will ask, tell us when the war
will end? It may terminate next week,
next month, next year. That depends
upon you. If you are bravo, if you
are loyal, if you are noble, the war will
soon be brought to a sucAessful issue.
If you have the strength, it is for you
to compel peace. The United States
possess 20,000,000 of free citizens, the
disloyal States 8,000,000. If you are
equally as brave, as devoted to the cause
of your country as they are to their
cause, the war must soon terminate;
but if they are more courageous—more
active—if they are the strongest—then
the duration of the war is, indeed, an
uncertainty. It amounts to just this—
an appeal has been made h the minor.
ity from the verdict of the majority at
the ballot-box, to the cannon's month ;
if the majority now submit it is only
because they are less brave, true and
courageous.
"For the past five - hundred days, I
have seen three thousand brave men
hastening each day to the field of ac
tion, and three thousand who were citi
zens to-day will be in the field to-mor
row. You could never fight for a cause
more glorious; you:could never fall for
a country more worthy of sacrifice. I
I return to-morrow., When - I shall

my wish that whemipass away,-my re-_

The interesting young man carries pis,
tole and bowie knives—is loaded down
with them—is-aperfect walking army
in fact. He is valiant, 0, how valiant,
in words—but when he meets with op
,position, hand to hand i -tbat-eowardlyi
traitorous heart of his, black with per
fidy, and leprous with treason, sinks
down to his boots, and his courage
plays that odd BobAeres trick, ,0f.00z.,
ing out a: his finger ends. Stich Wail
the exhibition he madeyesterday.after
noon, while he beat the Bull's Run'
time in his retreat from Sol. Herehel
rode's grocery.
The way of it was this : Vallandig
ham—Gen. Vallandigham—was pre
sented with a little bill of 55 cents for
whisky, with, which he had treated
some of his friends before the election
last fall. He was too deep in secession
not to take up with the kindred' trick
of repudiation. So lie determined to
repudiate the whisky bill, and march
ing into Sol. Herohelrode's grocery,
imperiously denied that he owed the
money. Sol. insisted that the bill was
right, and finally becoming somewhat
irritated by Val's mean attempt at re
pudiation, very plainly told him-that he
was a dirty scoundrel. There was
something so true as well as pointed, in
Sol's declaration, that Val. took fire,
gritted his teeth, scowled an awful
scowl, and called Sol. a scoundrel,
whereupon Sol , who was standing be
hind his counter, "went for" the "ex
traordinsry young man," who, seeing,
his foe advancing, retreated a few pa;
toes, drawing a six shooter of a large
size. But even with this terrible wes,
pen, and all his bowie knives beside,
Val. was not confident of victory—not
by any means. He had more con&
dence in his legs, and he ignominiously
fled, pistols, Bowie knives and all, rath'
er than encounter the fists of the man
whom he bad endeavored to cheat out
of fifty-.five cents. Val. kept up so
good a pace, was in such a hurry to
get away, that he fell from the steps
to the pavement. While Val. was
thus beating Bull's Run time, Sol.
drew a revolver and when he got to
the door, there was the distinguished
young man standing on two legs and
ono hand, while with the other he was
flourishing his pistol. Sol. made a
motion to take sight at the traitor just
as he stood like a dog, on three legs.
Then commenced a series of ludicrous
dodgings, to avoid the effects of Sol.'s
expected shot. They do say, those
Who saw the extraordinary young man's
performances on the pavement; that it
was too rich! First he turned his
lico.l one way then another, then it
went up and then down—then his pis
tol hand waved and wobbled—oh, such
dodging and ducking, and twisting and
screwing--it was splendid. Sol.'s pis
tol didn't go off—this was fortunate,
very fortunate,—and Val. took advan
tage of it to scramble up, and take ref
uge in E. A. haniel's Millinery Estab
liabment next door. Sol. didn't pur
sue him, and he sneaked out shortly
after, and made his way off. Thus
ended a scene the like of which hasn't
been seen in Dayton for many a day.
Subordination In the Army—Sespeet for
CoL McOmen has been tried by Court
Martial and sentenced to be reprimanded.
The principal charge against the Colonel
was discourtesy towards Lieut. Hunter, of
the Provost Guard, when asked in Wil
lard's Hotel to show his pass. He used
profane and defiant language towards that
officer, He finally pulled a paper from his
pocket and said that was his pass
Lieut. H. informed him that was not a
proper pass, when the Colonel replied
again in profane and defiant language.—
The sentence of the court martial was that
001. McCann be "reprimanded" by the
General commanding the army at the Po
tomac. Gen. McCann, in executing his
dirty, stiff:
"The General commanding confirms the
finding and sentence of the Court; but, in
doing so, he assumes that the sentence was
made light in consequence of the inexperi
ence of the accused. CoL McCann, it
would appear from the record, is ignorant
of the first, great principle which should
guide all soldiers, of whatever rank, viz:
implicit obedience to proper authority.—
The authority of Lieut. Hunter and his
right to demand Col. McOunn's peas were
most clear and unquestionable. It was the
authority directly delegated through the
Provost Marshal of the General command
ing this army, and should have been obey
ed acrespectially and implicitly as If the
demand had been matte by the General in
person. The manner of the officer making
the demand should have bad no influence,
but the Colonel should have obeyed the
crder respectfully and promptly. If the
manner of Lieut. Hunter was improper,
and that It was so is by no means clear to
the General commanding, it was the duty
of Col. MeOunn to have retained hie self
possession and self respect, and to have
complied wi h the direction to show his
pass, trusting to subsequent action for -re
dress. Col. McCunn showed by his de
meanor, as it appears on the record; that
he has yet to karn at feast two things before
he becomes competent to command a regi
ment, and these arc self command and re.
spect for proper authority. The pass
snown . by Col. McCann was improper in
form, and Lieut. Hunter was perfectly
right in declining to recognize its vilidity.
The paper submitted by Col. McCune as
his defence Is in many respects irrelevant,
and in others discreditable. The Court
would have been entirely justified in refus
ng to receive
