Doc row MISERY. Nov

DoGTowN MISERY, Nov. 23d, 1874.
To the Editor Of the Boston Times -
SIR Although you have labored long IN behalf OF
the democratic party, now triumphant, you may be
generous enough to permit an opponent to inform your
readers of a fact, although it tells against your case
and the principles of your party.
You have, doubtless, heard of Mr.. Pelee Fizzle,
one of the richest land holders in the "Misery."-
He owned several acres of huckleberry bushes and
several fractions of peat Dogs. He is a good wing,
and in anticipation of the election of Mr.. Clay, he
commenced the erection of a large pig-pen on a por-
ton of his premises in October last. He agreed TO
pay a laboring man two dollars and fifty cents to COM
plete the edifce. The workman was neutral in poll
tics, but promised TO vote for Clay on condition of
having the job. He voted, and Mr.. Fizzle purchased
STA cents worth of fine lumber. But in the interval
came the disastrous news from the Middle and South
ern States and Mr.. F. was compelled TO suspend the
operation. The pig-pen was, as it were dependent on
the Wing party. That party has gone down and the
pig-pen will not go up. The workman has taken to
tobacco and log %chopping, and a houseless porker may
be seen wandering gloomily about the premises of Mr..
F. 1t is thought that he will be killed about New
Year. Here we have the disastrous result of Mr..
Folks election-the building of a pig-pen suspended
"a laboring man compelled to turn his hand to new
business-and an unoffending specimen of the genus
porous sacrificed at least a year before his time.
81 see how Ruin, with a palsied hand
Begins to shake the fortunes of our house."
Yours, Gin a horn,)

Tricks OF GAMBLING.-J. H. Green, "the reform
ed gambler recently delivered a series of nineteen
lectures on intemperance and gambling, at Roches-
ter, N. Y. 1t is said that nowhere has his exhibi-
tons Of the habitual rascahty of gamblers, and the
knavery of Playing-Card Manufacturers been more
widely and earnestly needed. A pack of cards were
handed him, purporting to be made by Geo. Cooke,
New York, and he readily told them all from the
backs, bnth suit and spots. Another pack of Eli Co.
hens make were handed him, and he told % of them
from the backs; though he had never seen the cards be-
fore. The cards ofC. Bartlett, A. Nicely and I. Crehore
he told from their backs as readily as they could be
called off from their faces. If there were no other
objections to gambling, these facts should be enough
to warn the uninitiated against it. On the first page
of our semi-weekly will be found an amusing deyel-
opement of a different kind of fraud from that describ-
cd BY Green.

Great Fire at Fayetteville, n. C.--Fur-
the Particulars.
Correspondence Of the Journal Of Commerce.

FAEETTEvILLE, N. C., June II, 1S45-
Gentlemen We write you to inform you that half
our town is in ruins this morning. The fire broke
out at 3 O'Clock, A. NJ. Of your acquaintance, D..
& w. McLaurin, On whose warehouse it broke out, }
Chas. Lutterich, Z. Fuller, d. A, Kay, J. w. Tilling-
hast, Mott & Briggs. III. Leete, A. w. Steel, w. Pri-
or, w. M'Gary, ]. D. Williams, are ali burnt out.
Presume a good many were fully or partially in
sured, and some saved a good many goods. J. d.
Williams, we think it probable, saved a good many
but all those in the immediate neighborhood of where
the fire originated, nothing at all. Some families are
beggars this morning. Mrs. Brown Cor H. Cranberry
burnt out. Both book stores and both printing Offices
burrt,-and all our doctor shops but one, and the La
fayette Hotel. 1t burnt up as high as John Waddle,
Jr-'s, on Hay street, whose house was blown up, and
on the right hand comming up to the hill, his new
brick store, and on the right hand going to the mar
ket house, the entire block TO the. State Bank, and on
the other side to Eccles' bridge, as you go over to the
Episcopal church all the block.
Market House. and all the town below it going to
the river, saved, and all the churches. The market
and the Presbyterian church were on fire, but saved.
We mention the localities in Fayetteville phrases,
thinking you know something of them.
We think it very doubtful, since writing, whether
]. D.. Williams did save much, as he is not in town.

The Western Expositor contains a letter from the
Oregon emigrants, dated at Kaw Village, tie encamp-
ment ground Of the company. The advanced guard,
it will be recollected, of the main expedition, had left
Independence early in May. The first company, con-
sis;ing of 293 persons, well provided with horses,
cattle, guns and ammunition, passed the Great Namaha
sub-agency on the 4th May. The second, composed
of 223 equally well furnished, passed two days after,
and the third, of 100, followed on the 10Th. These
e~migrants are all a hardy, enterprising race, fully
aware of the great mission which God has given
them, and in the fulflment of which they are now en-
gagged. The whole force now crossing the Rocky
Mountains is more than three thousand souls, and ar
rangements are already made in Illinois and Missouri
by which as many more will be added to their mum.

Utica Gospel Messenger communicates the following
interesting item =
A stranger, in passing through a rural village in
New England, many years ago, was attracted to the
tub of a cider press by accidentally discovering the
feet of a child projecting over its top. 1t seems that
the boy had procured a straw sucker, and was in the
act of slipping from the tub when be fell in-his head
being entirely submerged. He was Immediately taken
out. and carried by the stranger to the farm house of
his parents, a few rods distant, whose efforts were
commenced to restore the child, now apparently life
less. After about an hour signs of returning life
were visible, and ultimately an entire restoration was
effected, ''and the child lived,'' became a man, be-
came a minister, became a bishop, and, ultimately,
the Second Presiding Bishop of the American Protes-
tant Episcopal Church.

Political GRArIrUDE.-Mr. Greene, of the Bos-
ton Post, records his political experience of political
gratitude, for the benefit, we suppose, of the young
politicians who are just commencing their career.
The lesson should not be lost upon them.
sThose who have not had much experience in pol
iticss or with the political press, hive lived to little
purpose if they have moi discovered that the men who,
in the ordinary course of things, should be most
prompt to recognize services rendered, are most anx-
ious to forget an obligation they should know too,
that more men are Frustrated ard deserted by crea-
lures of their own creation, than by their open and
ayowed enemies. Mankind strive TO forget obliga-
tons because the remembrance of them is burden
some, and politicians almost invariably kick down the
ladder by which they climb to fame"

Asbury University, in which he alleges that the pro.
fessoF is altogether unjust in the imputations which
be makes against him. But we do not see that any
public good can grow out of a continuation of the
controversy, and therefore defer the publication of said
letter.
GIVE are much obliged to our friend, w. A.

ca BY him in favor of the State Sentinel. Both his
late letters, including, together, $3.50, were duly re.

Uaion County.
Now the golden summer time

Now the golden summer time
Claims the notice of a rhyme;
Winter now lies still and cold,
Matching stOIm for chill December,
And beneath our skies Of gold,
We must winter still remember;
so a simple moral here,
Nothing can from notice smother
Changing seasons best appear.
Each contrasting with the other.
Spring serenely glides away,
Yielding to a bright new conner,
Fading into swift decay
Meath the glowing sun Of Summer.
Summer ON the heels of Spring,
As the scyibe Of Time is flashing,
Comes, as with a dancers fling,
Into sudden empire dashihg.
Welcome be the seasons reign
Welcome Summer once again
Now the God of Light is glowing
In his majesty supreme,
Life and love and joy bestowing,
Kissing Terra with his beam ;
And beneath his burning face,
Mother Earth with kindling fire,
Springs to meet the SUMS embrace,
Ia delight of new desire ).
Green things flying into birth,
Tell the rapture Of the Earth
Sunry, leafy, breezy June,
HelcUme sings u simple tune.
Bid the green earth 10 rejoice,
Give the birds of summer voice,
Call the buds and flowers forth,
Melt the ices of the North,
Ripen fruit of Sunny South
For the eager, melting mouth
Hasten in u summers noon,
Merry, smiling, sunny June!

For the Indiana s.ats Sentinel.
The Hunters Song 10 his Mistress.


Say wilt thou leave the gilded hall,
And take the woods and wilds with me
Here, pomp and pride. thy steps e~nthrall,
There, we will roam SO blithe and free.
Thy couch is now the softest down,
With richest silks is lined thy bed ;
While mine is but the heath so brown,
No covering save the green woods shade.
But with the bird | wake the morn,
And rouse the wild deer on the hill;
With mountain pipe and hunters horn,
make the glens and woodlands thrill.
AT noon, when tired, by mountain spring,
From limpid stream nov thirst l Stake ;
My food the bird upon the wing,
Or fish that swims in crystal lake.
No friends I claim, no fees l fear,
While CLEANS my falchion in my hand
My hope is in my fathers spear,
My trust is in my fathers brand.
But if thou mourn'st an absent love,
For me thou never more may'st see
Thou can'st not with ne range the grove,
Nor hunt at nom the deer with me.
The breast Of her | call my bride,
Must be as pure as mountain Till
And light her step on mountain side,
As is the heart upon the hill.
Her eye soft, swimming like the dew
Asleep upon the %violetI
While her young heart, must aye be true,
Nor feel one pang Of lone regret.
Then wilt thou leave the gilded hall,
And take the woods and wilds with me
Here, pomp and pride thy steps enthrall,
There, we will roam so blithe and free.

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.-fhe Fort Wayne SEN

There is a break in the canal about three miles

baby be repaired so as to allow boats to pass by next

WARLIKE PREPARATIoNs.-Besides the preparations
made al Newport, Baltimore, and other places already
noted, We learn from Buffalo, N. Y, that surveyors
are stalking out the grounds near the ruins of old Fort
Erie, in Canada, opposite Buffalo lighthouse, prepar-
atory, it Is said, to beating a new battery and breast
work for defence. The point of land selected is par
allel with the mouth Of Buffalo harbor and about two
miles from a parallel with the new redoubt now in
progress Of erection by our Government on Prospect
Hill The distance from the lighthouse to the Cana
da shore is 900 yards, "a mile aud a half, less frac-
tions,) and the location chosen by the English COM
mands the Niagara at that point, while our new work
IS much higher and beyond the reach of any battery
that could be erected on the opposite shore, still too
far from the harbor to counteract the influence of the
proposed Canadian Qualifications. The Niagara Is
900 yards wide at Prospect Hill. Thus it will be
seen England is on the alert. In the meantime on
our s~outh-wesfen frontier we have now twenty-five
companies Of Infantry q~uartered at Fort Jessup, rea-
dy for any movement that Mexico may make. As we
think that all these preparations lessen the chances of
war, we are pleased to record them.-LOu. COnrier.

Indian Country--U. s. Dragons.

The ST. Louis Republican contains the following:
Letters have been received from the detachment of
u. S. troops, under the command of Col. KEARNEY
out from Fert Leavenworth about eight days, and dis
tant some one hundred and thirty miles. The expe-
dltion was progressing rapidly, and were in good
spirits and health. They had passed several compa-
MES, en- route for Oregon. The e~migrants were get
ting along well, and with very little trouble. About
three thousand persons are reported to be on the route
they are divided into companies of one to two hun
dred, which travel IN advance Of each other about a
days march. Each company has from 500 to 100
head Of cattle. The emigrants appear to be a good
class of people, possessing many Of the conveniences,
and some even the Injuries of life. A large party of
the emigrants were several days in advance of the
troops under Col. KEARNEY. 1t is probable that the
Colonel will make rapid marches until he gets in adj
vance of all the emigrants, as their precedence of him
will render 1t more difficult to obtain game and sub
sistance for his men. The grass was UP, and IN
abundance for the supply Of the horses.
