the same from the committee of this body, and they were adopted unanimously, amid great applause. The Convention then proceeded to select their candidates. Mr. Loring, on behalf of the delegates from Massachusetts, who with Mr. Butler had retired from the Douglas Contention, nominated John C. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, which Mr. Dent, representing the Pennsylvania delegation present, most heartily seconded. Mr. Ward, from the Alabama delegation, nominated R. M. T. Hunter, of Virginia; Mr. Ewing, from that of Tennessee, nominated Mr. Dickinson, of New York; and Mr. Stevens, from Oregon, nominated General Joseph Lane. Eventually all these names were withdrawn except that of Mr. Breckinridge, and he received the nomination by a unanimous vote. The whole number of votes cast in his favor from twenty States was 103 1/2. The vote of Mr. Douglas was considerably greater, but Mr. Breckinridge received a large majority over him from States known to be Democratic. General Lane was un

has been influential as a citizen and successful in his various business enterprises. During his eight years service as city superintendent most of the important improvements which now adorn the city were made. In 1867 he was married to Mary M. McGraw and they have six children living. George W. Anderson George W. Anderson was born in Greenville county, S. C., March 7, 1828. He is the son of John Anderson, a native of Ireland, who came to America with his parents, Thomas and Nancy (Ewing) Anderson, in his childhood and settled in Greenville county, S. C., where he died in 1837. Of ten children living at the time of John Anderson's death, Major Anderson and his sister are the only ones surviving. Thomas and Nancy Anderson, the grandparents, spent the remainder of their lives in Greenville county, the latter living to be nearly a hundred years old. The mother of Major Anderson was Mary Terry, who survived her husband a great many years, dying at the age of seventy. Four son

battle the regiment had two hundred and seventy-five men engaged. There were one hundred and two killed, wounded and missing. On the 3d inst. the regiment was withdrawn a short distance, where we remained during the day, except while engaged in a short fight with cavalry. At night we were still farther withdrawn to the rear. The men and officers acted very well. I cannot close without speaking of those who acted most conspicuously during the hottest of the conflict; Lieutenants Burch and Ewing, Captains Eubanks and Edwards, are especially noticed for their gallantry in leading their men forward and remaining in front of their commands encouraging their men. Colonel Hardwick and Major St. John were very efficient in performing their part until wounded. It is due to state that in the account of missing, twenty-four men were taken prisoners, with Captain Edwards and Lieutenant Christian, of General Law's staff, while posting pickets after night on the 2d inst. Very respectfully,

Valley, and so secretly conducted his march to Richmond, that at the very time that he was thundering on McClellan's flank at Cold Harbor, Banks was fortifying at Strasburg against an expected attack from him. I well remember how profoundly ignorant the men, and even the higher officers, on the march were as to our destination. At Charlottesville we expected to march into Madison county to meet a reported move of Banks' across the mountains. At Gordonsville the Presbyterian pastor, Rev. Dr. Ewing, told me, as a profoud secret, which he had gotten from headquarters, that we would move at daylight next morning towards Orange Courthouse and Culpeper to threaten Washington. We did move at daylight (we generally did), but it was towards Louisa Courthouse. There and at Frederick's Hall and at Hanover Junction we expected to move on Fredericksburg to meet McDowell, and it was really only when we heard A. P. Hill's guns at Mechanicsville, on the evening of June 26th, that we took in

nd ignorance as to our destination. At Charlottesville we expected to move into Madison County, at Gordonsville we expected to move towards Washington, at Louisa we expected to move on to Fredericksburg, at Hanover Junction we expected to move up the railway to meet McDowell's Column, and it was only on the afternoon of June 26th, when we heard A. P. Hill's guns at Mechanicsville, that we fully realized where we were going. Disclosed by a preacher. I remember that at Gordonsville, Rev. Dr. Ewing, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, with whom Jackson passed the night, told me as a Profound secret, not to be breathed, that we would move at early dawn the next morning on Culpeper, and intimated that he had gotten his information from headquarters. We did not move at early dawn—the men used to say that Old Stonewall always moved at early dawn except when he started the evening before —but instead of moving on Culpeper, we moved on Louisa.

ue an address or proclamation, as the election of delegates to the South Carolina Convention is to take place at an earlier day than was recently anticipated, and as in consequence there would not be sufficient time for the general circulation of an appeal through the President's annual message, as originally contemplated. The subject was, to-night, under consideration. It is understood that Thos. Corwin, of Ohio, can if he will, occupy a prominent position in Lincoln's Cabinet, and in the event of his declining to do so, an invitation will be extended to Ewing or Vinton of the same State. Messrs. Graham and Badger of North Carolina, are also as confidently mentioned in this connection. The President, to-day, headed a subscription list for the relief of the sufferers in Kansas with $100, and gave assurance that he would appeal to Congress in their behalf. There is a rumor here of the declaration of independence by South Carolina, but it is doubtless nothing but a rumor.
