The telegraph West

They are. putting up the posts at S'.
Clairsville. Mr.. O'Reilly states that the
late troubles are all arranged, and the line
is progressing West from Pittsburgh with
all nossihle despatch. We understand
that the posts are now up as far as Nor
r;s,own. IN Belmont county. An agent
passed through GAINESVILLE; OF late measur-
inc distances, and marking the spots Tor
planting other posts. In three weeks
from last Saturday, it is said, the lines
will he at work from Zanesville to Bos-
ton, Buffalo and Fredericksourgh' va
OF course il will be but short time before
the line will be extended to this city, when
we will be in an instant communication
with many important points on the sea-
board. Is not this truly astonishing to
think.-Cin. Com.

Cause OF the Potafoc Rot.

Mr.. John Hamilton exhibited to US one
day last week, several potatoe tops, taken
from lot of his in the vicinity of our
town, which appeared to be in the first
stages of disease, having just commenced
dropping and changing color. Upon ex-
animation it was found that they were in
tested with a number of worms, Of yell
lowish color, mostly half an inch in
length and of the species commonly cal
led BoRERs. which had attached them
selves 10 the leaves. Inside of one of
the stems was found worm similar TO
the others, but twice as large, which cir
cumstance would seem to confirm the o.
pinion entertained by some, that the pota-
toe worm is produced from an egg, de-
posted upon the leaf, and after having ar
rived at certain stage, BoREs into the
stem and enters it, thereby causing it TO
withcr and decay, from whence the dis
case is conveyed TO the root, and the po-
tatoe becomes affected and decays. Mr..
Hamilton informs us that he has obser-
we'd on his pOtatoe tops species of BUG,
resembling in color the worm we have
described, and he thinks it is this bug that
deposites the egg upon the leaves, and
that from il the worm is produced; and in
this opinion we fully concur with him.
The CAUSE of the potatoe rot is therefore,
we think, clearly ascertained, and it now
remains to discover REMEDY.

The Ticket.

The Ticket formed by the Wing and
An,imasoric County Convention on Mon
dav Of last week, is now before the peo-
nle for their support. The individuals
composing il are well known throughout
the county, and their nomination. as far
as we have heard an expression of sentl-
ment, gives entire satisfaction TO the par
ty. Ii cannot be expected, where there
are number of competitors for the seve-
raj Offices, that those who are defeated
will be Just as well satisfied as the sue
cessful ones; but all who are Wings at
heart and act from principle, always enter
the lists with determination TO abide by
the decision of the nominating conven-
ton; and he who would act differently,
and who only makes profession of prin-
ciple for the sake oc office, is unworthy
either the countcnance or the support of
any party.
OF the latter description, we believe,
there are none in the ranks of the Wing
party in Somerset; but, on the contrary,
though some may have been disappointed
in their expectations, all will lay aside
personal considerations, and actuated by
pure motives of patriotism alone, Will
null together AZ the ensuing election and
roll up an old-fashioned majority for the
whole Whig ticket, from Governor down.
The Wing party in this county is now
once more organized, and it will be the
pleasure, as it is the interest and duty, ol
all who desire the success Of Wing prIn-
ciples, TO render that organization eilec-
tive by supporting THE TICKET, THE
WHOLE TICKET, AND NOTHING BUT THE
TICKET.

CELEBRATION OF THE 4TH IN
SOMERSET,

The National Anniversary was celebra-
ted-in Somerset, on Monday, the 9Th inst.
At an early hour the "Somerset Guards,
commanded by Capt. S. w. Pearson,
were on parade, and having marched
through the principal streets and perform
ed sundry evolutions in handsome style
were dismissed for a short time. Hav'
ING again formed, they were joined by
many of the citizens and the teachers anc
scholars of the several Sunday Schools
and the whole marched in procession to
the Lutheran Church, where the Declara-
ton Of independence was read by Robert
l.. Stewart, Esq, and an Address deliver
ed by Joseph F. 10y, Esq. AT one o.
clock large party sat down TO dinner a
Nen7s Hotel, where they "fared sumptu
orsly," and then dispersed and thus en-
ded the celebration Of the 4th in Somer
set.

The Cold Shoulder.

a portion of the Democracy OF Penn,
sylvania-that portion which agrees with
the Wings on the TariAr-held meeting
at Harrisburgh, some weeks since, and
passed resolutions in favor of Gen. Tay,
lor for President. Senator Cameron was
in attendance, and took an active part In
the proceedings Of the meeting. This
branch Of the Democratic party is eVl,
IDENTIFY sick Of Locofocoism, as now prac-
tsed by those in power; for, at the close
of their meeting, some friend of the State
Administration offered resolution IN Ia
vor of SKUNK and LoNGsTRETH, which
was promptly voted down. If this is not
turning the "cold shoulder" to old Skunk,
then we do not know what TO call it. The
fact is, that Shunk's trucking to the Ma
tional Administration; that is, his non
commitalism on the Tariff Question, has
put him down ga peg" lower than Polk
himself, who, ii must be admitted, is low
enough.

CRoPs OF THE WEsT.-The Daily Wis
consin Seutinel, says the amount of In
dian corn planted exceeds any thing in
the past annals Of western agriculture
The high prize of corn shows that it can
be proftably raised. That was all that
was wanting TO enable the farmers to
raise any quantity. The production OF
Indian corn on the prairies is perfectly
boundless. Instead of raising two hun
dred millions Of bushels, as is now raised,
Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin could
easily raise FIVE hundred millions OF
bushels. The productive powers Of the
West can scarcely be conceived, by one
accustomed TO the limited production Of
! the Eastern States.

Arrest of Counterfeiters.

SPURIOUS MoNEY-PLATEs SECURED
BY far the most important arrests of this
year have jus, been made in our city
Consiables Peter Davidson, Evan EVAN,
James L. Rufin, and d. Kelly. by dint
of their own peculiar knowledge, succee-
ded last week in arresting a man named
Burkheimer. and sending him to Adams
county for trial. On Monday evening the
same officers arrested an engraver named
John I.oveIoy, in his own house, where
they found one plate ready for printing
spurious money, or nearly so. Soon al
ter Loyejoy's arrest, they took man
named Lewis Sleight, in house on Gen.
trc street, between Elm and Race streets.
In this house was found several plates
for striking spurious money, and large
| amount of spurious notes, ready Tor CIR
eulation. On the Lafayette Bank, de-
scribed yesterday, there were some $soO'
lot of ones, Indiana some Jefferson
county, N. Y, notes, and divers others,
amounting in all, to about S 900. They
also found lot of Galliopolis. The plates
seven or eight in number-are OF the
most dangerous kinds but they are now
where they cannot be used to swlndle the
community. The persons are now IN
iail, and will be examined before Esquire
Brooks. The officers named deserve
great praise for securing these men and
this money, and saving the public from
loss.-Cin. Com.

Of grass was cut in the nelghborhood OF

equal to that of last year. The grain
harvest has not yet commenced, but ma

will probably exceed those of former
years, at least in quality, If not in quanti-
ty, and the oats appears remarkably fine
and promises an abundant yield.

THE CENsuRERs OF GEN. TYyLoR.-
The nomination of Joseph Matthew, as
Governor Of Mississippi, by the Loco-fo-
CO party, develops fact worthy OF con-
sideralion. We are informed by the New
Orleans National, that before Jacob
Thompson saw fit in Congress to abuse
General Taylor, and clamor so loudly for
vote Of censure, he was understood TO
be the nominee for Governor by his par
ty, and Of course his election was looked
upon as certain. But his votes and
speeches on the Monterey capitulation
have blasted his political prospects in
Mississippi, and he will henceiorth live in
dignihed retirement.

FIRE IN BERLIN.

We learn that about nine o'clock on
Thursday evening last. the extensive sta
bles Of Maj. John Brubaker, in the town
of Berlin, were discovered to be on fire,
and in very short time burnt down TO
the ground. The adjoining stable of ia
cob Kimmel, Esq, was at one time also
on fire, but saved by the exertions OF
the citizens. The evening was unusual
" calm, otherwise it might have been ve-
~ difficult to save the adjoining buildings.
When the fire was first discovered, the
flames were bursting through the roof,
and the inference is, that i, was the work
of an incendiary.
