The nominntioa of Mr.Letehcr may be regarded
s an extinguisher upou whatever hopes Gov. Wise
as heretofore indulged of a nomination by the
Charleston Convention. It places him in a minority of his own party, at home. Knowing the im
(toftaiice ot the stake at issue, he fought with hii-
accustom-d resolution. But the fortune of war is
against him. The star of Hunter is in the ascendant.
With Virginia at his back, Mr. Hunter may he
regarded as the most formidable candidate in fhe
South for the Charleston nomination, while his
discretion aud freedom from ultraism will do much
to recommend him to the Northern Democraiy,
who, with their small minority, are 'so.11 to find
themselves divided and discordant, if tbey are nol
already wiped out substantially by the recent
elections. The fiends ol Mr. Douglas are making
a good deal of flourish just now, but all that will
oot score lor much when the accounts come to be
settled. The South demands the candidate this
time, having twice successively yielded it to ihe
North, aud the faithful had as well prepare for that
necessity in lime, as the South generally gets
what she asks.—St. Louis Democrat.

ed Andrew .fnck-on.

marchingmfo the jaws of death, with tbe assurance that while he thus offers himself as a sacrifice
to the demands of bia country, every action bu it
succ-sslul orolhenvise, will be judged wilh ;hG-
most hearties* scrutiny.
It was a strange sight, that long range of cotton bales—a uew material for breastwork—wth
the crowd of human beings behind, (heir heads
only visible above the line ol defence. Wc could
distinctly  see   their  long rifles   laving over   thei
fr°ot, will, HCKw.t mouth gaping towards us
imd the position of Gui. Jackson, with his -t-ti
aiound him. But, what attracted, oar attentio'u
mosl. was the figure ofa tall man sending on the
brewtwerka dre.sod in linsey woolsey.wiTh buck-
SHI* Wggfiw; ami a hroad rimmed fell hat that fell
around his face, almost concealing hie features
He was standing iu one of those picturesoue and
graceful altitudes, peculiar to lho.se natural men-
dwe lers ,n the lor,st. Thc hod. rested on the
left leg and swayed wilh a curvid line upwards ■
lie right arm whs extended, the hand gnfe&fov
tb» rifle near the mnzzlo, tho butt of »hicl. rested
near the toe of his rght foot, while with his haud
he raised the rim ot liis hat from his eyes and
seemed nazing from beneaih intensely upon our
advancing column. The cannon of General Colfee had opened upon ns. and tore throUfih our
ranks will, dreadlul slaughter ; but we continued
to advance, unwavering and cool, as if nothing
threatened our progress
The roar of cannon seemed to have no effect
upon the figure standing on the cotton bale- but
he socued lixed and molionle^as astalue.' At
I st he moved, threw back the hat-rim over the
crown with his lelt hand, raised the rifle fo his
shoulder, and took aim at our group. Our eyea
weieriveted on him. Ar, whom had he leveled
his piece? But. the distance wafl so great that we
looked at each other and smiled. We saw the
rifle flash, and my right hand companion, as noble
looking a fellow as ever rode at the head of his
regiment, fell from his saddle. The hunter paused
» few moim-uts. without moving his gun from his
shoulder, tben reloaded and rCBIUDed his former
atMln.i, Thrcwmg the hit-:..- -. ■ ,."■ ?eaai>d
again holding it up with bia left hand he fixed
his piercing ga/.e upon us as il hunting out another victim. Once more the hat rim was thrown
back iiml the gun raised to his shoulder. Thia-
time we did not smile, but cast short glances at
each other, to See which of'ns must die ; and when
the rifle again flashed,, another of as dropped to
the earth. There was something awful in thus
marching on to certain death.
Gen. Coffee s baltery and thousands of masket
halls played upon our ranks; we cared not for
thom—there was a chance of escaping unscalhed.-
Mostofus had walked upon batterie., a bundixd

kuow that every time that rifle was leveled towards us. nml it.-bullet snranc from the iwrrcl

see it rest motion!uss, as if poised upon a rock,
and know, when the hammer struck ar.d the sparks
flew to the full-primed pan, fhat the messenger of
death drove unerringly to its goal—to know this,
and still march on. was awful.
I could see uoth-ng but the tall figure standing
on the breiisiwoik. lie seemed to grow, phantom-
like, taller and tuller, assuming through the
smoke the supernatural appearance of some great
spirit. Again did he M-load and discbarge his-
tifh,- wilh the same unfailing uim ; and it was with*
indescribable pleasure that I beheld, as we neared-
the American lines, the sulphurous smoke gather
around us and shut that spectral hunter from my
eaze. We lost the battle; and to my mind the
Kentucky rifleman contributed more to our defeat
lliiiii anything else ; lor while he remained to our
sight our attention was drawn Irom our duties;.
and when at last we became enshrouded in thc
smoke lhe Wi rk was complete ; we were in utter
coulusiinand unablo in the extremity to restore-
order sufficient to make any successful attack.
So long a* thousands and thousands of rifle* remain in lhe hands of lhe people, so long as men
come up Irom Iheir childhood able, ere the down
uppea-s m on Ibe elrfn, to hit the center of a mark,,
or strike the deer at one hundred and fif'iy yards
in the most vital part : so long as there in a great
proportion of the Republic who live as free as the
wild Itidian, knowing no leader but their own
