Pendleton, the peace candidate of the Chicago Convention, Suddenly appeared in Tlavtnn Incfc wpnV and ronsiirpd to t.lift mansion of C. L. Yallandigham. The Dayton Democracy were 6oon hustled oat and marched up to serenade ^lr. Pendleton. Mr. Pendleton in some remarks made, said: Fellow citizens: I did not come here to make a political speech. s I am very thankful for the honor yon have conferred upon me. Mr. Yallandigham followed in a brief speech, ] in which he seemed studiously to avoid mentioning the name of General McClellau?the crowd noticing this conspicuous omission. He eulogized-the Democratic party; referred to its 1 longevity; its labors (to keep in office) and xe- 1 cord, asserting that all the endufing statutes ( on our books were the work of that party, and ! declared it a principle of the party to support 1 all nominations which . are fairly \made. He declared he would support the nominees of the . 4 party, and briefly eulogized the Chicago platform, which was loudly cheered. He exhorted the Democracy to be faithful, and prayed that ,God might grant them the mercy of success. ' The War Spirit in Mississii4>i.?With'. ' over three years of the mo?t desolating war . ever known in history, we fiiTd the spirit of the South still unshakefr, and the same lofty spirit of patriotism still nerving, every "pqrtion of the" people. The fall of Atlanta has not dispirited the people of the faf South. The Meridian Clarion says of the"war spirit, in Mississippi:. Mississippi, with one-half of' her rich soil trampled upon by the invaders, with her homes made desolate, her fields destroyed, hci'citizens forced from their homes in poverty, has once more risen in her might, and will meet the last offorts of the foe to enslave her, with 'as noble a body of troops as ever answered to the sound of the reveille. .'Thecallof Governor Clarke has been responded to with a spirit of enthusiasm unexampled in the history of this war.

J * TA Tills T.4FIIES OF THF STATE C OF SQFTH CAROLINA*. i During the mighty struggle in which our Confedericy has been engaged for the last threo years, I have ^ matched with increasing interest and admiration the loble efforts of the women of our otVn dear Carolina. Sone but thdso who have witnessed thoir, noble selfsacrificing exertions, can only appreciate all that has a jeen done by them, to allevfhte' the sufferings of our t joble soldiers. ;s a Tho devotion of the ladies of Carolina to our hospittls and other benevolent institutions of the State still ittest their untiring determination to sustain- these lobfe efforts and to contribute to the comfort of our no- 0 )le soldiers.' ' Tl ere is one branch of the service to which I would | * all your attention, feeling assured that I will only 0 lave to bring it to notice, to iir^ire a like interest iu I hoir behalf. ., J Bbc necessities of over seven hundred seamen; man- ^ riug the iron dads iu the harbour of Charleston; call . oudly for the efforts of our ladies. "While the soldier is supplied by the government a vitli two suits of clothing, and two pairs of shoes per c mnum. tho sailor has to purchase his clothing and'c slides out ot bis pay ; and until the last meeting of t Congress, when an act was passed to reduce the price c >f those articles of clothing?which seamen had to pur:hase?the purchase of tbeir clothing took more than .heir pay; and oven at 'the reduced prices, seamen ^ Ind it difficult to*supply themselves, oftentimes leav- s ng nothing for the support of their families. t I would therefore make an appeal to Iho ladies c working associations to furnish, as far as they can, such articies as drawers, shirts and socka. I would , ?lso bring to your notice the Marine School of Charleston, which has already.graduated some very- promis- ^ ihg young sailors, who are filling various stations in I Dur Kavj. and on board several of our blockade run- L tiers, with credit to themselves and 'the Institution. ^ mt!. 1 %- 5 v_ :. il s'L*. # xxiib huiiooi ia suppurteu- ujr au appropriation irom ^ the State, together with scholarships of $150 each.
