The Dispatch in a New dress. The Richmond Dispatch appears this morning in a new dress; and this new dress is a types of the advancement of Richmond in manufacturing enterprise and independence. The suit of types in which it is now equipped was manufactured in this city, at the foundry of Messrs. Walker & Pelouze. It is the first ever manufactured south of Baltimore. This fact adds no little to the pride and pleasure that we always feel in presenting the Dispatch to its readers in a spick and span new suit. We are sure our friends sympathize in this sentiment. The introduction of new types into the columns of the Dispatch, is an event of far too frequent occurrence to be as profitable as agreeable. The large amount of its circulation subjects the types on which it is printed to such harsh and severe usage, that they are soon battered and worn so as to impair their good appearance. Every experiment has been made to harden the type metal, in order to make it more durable;

There being no election, the Convention again proceeded to vote, and the result having been announced, it appeared there was no choice. A gentleman then moved that upon the next ballot the candidate having a plurality of the votes be declared elected Clerk of the Convention. Negatived by a large majority. A third unsuccessful ballot was taken, after which all the candidates except Messrs. Turner, Eubank, and R. L. Walker, were withdrawn.--This fourth ballot resulted — Eubank 58, Walker 51, Turner 19.

name chosen by one of the first companies who went into service from this city. It owned its existence to the active exertion of Daniel Hagerty, who on the inception of hostilities, gathered together a band of choice spirits ready to peril their life in defence of our threatened rights. They have been stationed for several weeks past in the vicinity of Fredericksburg. Should the enemy conclude to land at Acquia Creek, they are the very boys to meet him and rebuke his presumption in a most effective and convincing way. The company is armed with the deadly Parrott rifled cannon, which they know how to handle. The following is a list of the officers of the Purcell Battery, viz: Captain, R. L. Walker; 1st Lieut., Dan'l. Hagerty; 2d Lieut., Wm. Pegram; 3d Lieut., Wm. Dabney; 1st Sergeant, James Allen; 2d Sergeant; Fitzhugh; 3d Sergeant; McGruder; 4th Sergeant H. Eddins; 1st Corporal, C. G.

f Captain Lewis's company, (Captain Lewis still being disabled by a shot received through the body at Camp Defiance,) was the hero of several out of twenty fights in which he made his mark in Nicaragua; Major Bacon, who had commanded a company of Rangers there, was with Col. Pegram when taken at Rich Mountain, was wounded by the side of General Garnett when he fell, and finally as aid to General Wise in Western Virginia, commanded a portion of his cavalry; Major Hoof, who had been with Walker through all his campaigns. There were, besides, Upshur and Deheart, who were Nicaraguan veterans, Lieut. Bolton, who had been in the same service, and Dr. Kellum, well and favorably known, who on this occasion volunteered as surgeon on board the Curlew, going out to her amid a shower of shot and shell, and fighting in her till she sunk. I had almost omitted to mention the very important fact, that when the barricade was finally carried by the enemy, after its defenders had been turned thro

hings into consideration and we easily see that the task of Mr. Benjamin is at least sixty-bold greater than its courage under the Secretaries of the old Generals. When all this is considered, the writer cannot withhold an expression of under that so much has been done, and considering the means that it has been done so effectively! It is true that the Secretary of War did not take his place until some time in the autumn. But it must also be remembered that, owing long illness of Secretary Walker, the business of his department had fallen sadly into arrears and in many matters was exceedingly deficient. That he has addressed himself to these difficulties with almost superhuman energy cannot be questioned, Fully impressed with the arduous responsibility of his position, he has tolled from an early hour of each morning to and beyond midnight; in he has not allowed himself even the rest of a Sabbath, Nor has this been more toil without accomplishment; for he has not turn but turn

The St. Louis Republican of the 21st contains the following in regard to the transfer of prisoners, from which it will be seen that the number is below the mark heretofore claimed; and it is reasonable to believe that when the whole truth is known, the number here stated is considerably exaggerated: The prisoners taken at Fort Donelson are arriving rapidly.
