presents the hes! advantages for the grain and
stock raiser, and for the education of youth.
But II was not SIMPLY to notice tins place lhnt
we set out with our articles we had in view the
connexion which the interests of Washington and
Crawford counties, Fayetteville and Van Buren,,
have established. Indeed, the whole North West
is looked upon by Us as one section, not tract
of country split up by conflicting counties. but
section whose interests are all assmiated and
mutually dependent on each other. Interest and
material afhnltIes, and articles OF export and I'M
port have linked the north western counties, and
most important to their veal IS the steadiaslness
OF that connexlon, the strength of the links which
bind them.

FROM GEN. rAvLoR,s ARMY.

The following extract from letter to the
editor, contains the latest intelligence from
Gen. Taylor's division. We are also inform.
ed by the same letter, that Col. Hamlramck
has been appointed to command the Brigade
Of which the Virginia Regiment forms part,
in the place Of Gen. Gushing. Capt. Harper
acts as Assistant Inspector General, TO Col
Hamtramck, and Lieut.. Porerield, late OF
this place, Adjutant OF the Virginia Regiment,
and is Asst Adjt. General.
f"You will have heard before this reaches
you, that the advance of this portion of the
army has been checked by the withdrawal OF
troops from Gen. Taylor's column. General
Lanes and Gen. Cushing's Brigades have
been ordered to Vera Cruz.
Col. Hamtramck now fills the place vaca-
ted by Gen. Gushing, as commandment OF the
Brigade TO which the Virginia Regiment is
attached. The idea of remaining here mac
tive during the approaching fall and winter is
disheartening but those more competent than
| TO express an opinion, predict that the battle
of Buena Vista will be fought again.
But this think doubtful We are daily
expecting to hear Of SCOTS entrance into the

O'Leary tells us that he is always ready 10
dispense his golden favors, and that as he has
been extremely lucky since his establishment
in this place, in selling the very tickets that
take the prizes, now. is the time in his opinion
to mount upon the tide that leads on TO fortune
He is very accommodating man, and in all
his sales, tries TO sell the very tickets which
are TO bring the Rhino. The royal road to
wealth, lies directly through his premises, and
as the toll which is paid for travelling over It's
glittering pavement is voluntary, no one can
complain Of him for extortlon. He would be
happy to see the travellers as they are Journey

TEE FLOOD.

The citizens OF our Town and County came
in for a full share Of the damage resulting from
the great ireshet on Thursday last Some Of
oul farmers whose lands bordered upon the
water courses lost their entire crops of corn,
which III most instances had been cut and
stacked upon the fields. The losses sustained
in the destruction Of fences, bridges and out
buildings, were Of course considerable, but il
is next to impossible to make anything like an
accurate estimate Of the amount of damage.
Ia town, the bridge near the residence of Pat
rick Cunningham, on Queen Street, was par
tally destroyed, and the house of Mr.. Sam'l
Cox, situated below the bridge narrowly es-
capped demolition, the greater part Of the foun-
dation having been swept away. Part OF the
buildings and machinery of the Wooden Fac
tory OF VIM. Reed s Sons, was also swept
off. The cellars Of some of our Merchants
were also inundated and the Groceries and IL
quors rendered valueless. We learn that at
Winchester and Harper's- Ferry, the destruc-
ton was very great, particularly a, the former
place. We also hear of much mischief done
by the floods in the County Of Morgan, and
in the neighboring Counties Of Washington
and Frederick, in Maryland. ., ,.s

"The positions OF our two commanding
reduced TO the ieeblest de
fensve strength, and Scott cut down we know
not TO what extent, in an enemy's city of two
hundred thousand population--are such as to
demand the immediate attention Of the Gov
eminent. Santa Anna is doubtless still strong
enough to menace the valley ofthe Rio Grande,
and there should be no delay in reinforcing
Gen. Taylor. With Gen. Scott the demand
for more troops must be equally pressing. He
is not only in city containing hostile popu.
lation of two hundred thousand but has San
ia Anna in his immediate vicinity, and we
have had too many proofs of the CELEBRITY with
which he can raise armies 10 trust to his mac
uvlty. Prompt and energetic action is requir-
ed OF our Government, or much Of the work
that has been done may have to be done over
again. The Mexicans are learning to fight
from us, as did the Russians under Peter the
Great from Charles the Twelfth, and we can
not be too well or too soon prepared for some
aew demonstration on their part"

CAPITAL HIT.

The following from the Richmond Repub-
lican is ''telling shot"
Mexico would never have offered terms so
preposterous, if she had not been encouraged
BY the mo territory party" by the Naeces par
ty and Mexican party at home, by the party
which has denounced this war as aggressive,
unhoiy, and unjust on our part.-Union.
This is very unkind hit at Mr.. Polk. He
was OF the 'no territory party" at the COM
mencement of the war-else his message OF
December, 1916, did not speak truly. In that
document, he expressly declared that "the war
had not been wased with view to conquest"
1t was only for Indemnity" and the payment
Of 'pecuniary demands" Buthit him again,
good organ. Mr.. Polk has been too modest by
half.

MARYLAND ELECTION.

Maryland have carried four of the six Con
gressional Districts, making gam Of two
Representatives, and have secured the Legs
ature by an overwhelming majority.
The Locofoco candidate for Governor is
elected by some six hundred majority, result
produced by the extraordinary efforts made by
the Administration 10 defeat Mr. KESSEDY in
Baltimore city, efforts which, unhappiIy iol
the country, were successful. The election oil
four Wing members fiom Maryland makes
the Wing majority in the House Of Represen-
tatives Of Congress certain.

letters of Mr.. KENNEDY 10 the voters of Balti-
more, on the subject Of the war, and shall give
the remaining ones next week. We hope ev-
cry one of our readers, Wing and Democrat,
will give them an attentive perusal Especially
