OH RtNMbLicaM (hcStkrGcLA Enrarrr,

| am informed by friend that the travelling EmisSa.
res made their appearance at Chesterfield Court on the
18th inst, first VIM. s. Archer harangued the pco-
pie but it fell stllborn to tho ground and made no I'M
preston on the Republicans of this noble county At
ter Archer closed James II Cox arose and delivered
OF the most mastery and triumphant indications
eyer heard in Chesterfield. Sir, he used Archer up
and left old Granny Harrison not foot of ground To-
stand He spoke for near two hours and his friends
say it was the happiest effort of his fe-he was
eloquent, and his speech was copous learned and
southland he gave the Feds death blow from which
they never recovered. Cox made many friends This
young Republican deserves well of his party Truly
has he fought the good fight He threw the sling OF
David, and drove dame Whggery home TO its hiding
place. In the close Of his speech he appeared more
than himself
Archer took full notes OF Coxs eloquent address, in
tending to reply; but lie with his notes was Withdrawn
and Gen. Pegram put up TO answer Cox, which lie did
and more complete failure never was heard in OH
Chesterfield. After Pegram ran himself down, Cox
replied for about fifteen twenty mnues and demo
lished the poor General; and alas might his friends
eXcalnr, alas how is the mighty fallen After Cox
closed, the sun was down. The Republicans expec,
much from this mastery effort of this lion. hearted and
young Republican; a:.d Chesterfield will give Van ii,
November, double the majority she did at The last cleo
ton. The Democracy Of Chesterfield is at last aroused
and size will bury the Fcdcrass forever in the dust
The Democrats, Ike the Spartan Band, Will give us
long pull, strong pull, and pull altogether, and
victory will perch upon her Democratic banner in No
vember next. YELLOW JACKET
