THE FINEST CoRN.FiEID IN TIL

THE FINEST CoRN-FIELD IN THE
WoRLD.-The citizens of our town
have it daily in their power to look upon
a sight, which we believe cannot be
equalled elsewhere on the globe. 1t is
the "Point' Just across the Scioto river,
belonging TO the Portsmouth Dry Dock
and Steamboat Basin Company, now
mostly in a corn-feld of about 200 acres.
The corn is Of the rankest and most
luxuriant growth, is even throughout,
and stands remarkably thickl We think
it cannot be equalled for the following
reasons: Corn grows nowhere as well
as in the United States; in no State as
well as in Ohio; and in no part of Ohio
as well as in Scioto Valley; in no part
of that valley so well as in the lower
portion; and no field in that portion is
equal to this one. @. E. D.-Ports-
mouth Dispatch.
And not exactly demonstrated, after
all. Still, there is some corn about
Portsmouth; and some people in that
city who know its use; and don't "waste
it," by feeding it to hogs or making
bread ofit-SciOtO Gazette.

Memories.


Once more, once more, my Mary dear,
sitby that lone stream,
Where first within thy timid ear
l breathed loves burning dream;
The birds we loved still tell :heir tale
Ofmusic on each spray,
And still the wild rose decks the vale
But thou art far away.
In vain thy vanished form l seek,
By wood, and stream, and dell,
And tears of anguish bathe my cheek
Where tears of rapture fell;
And yet beneath these wildwood bowers
Dear thoughts my soul employ,
For in the memory of past houls
There is nournful joy.
Upon the air thy gentle words
Around me seem to thrill,
Like sounds upon the wind-harp's
chords
When all the winds are still,
Or like the low and soul-like swell
OF that wild spirit-tone
Which haunts the hollow of the bell
When its sad chime is done.
1seem to hear thee speak my name
In sweet low murmurs now,
/ seem to feel thy breath of flame
Upon my cheek and brow;
On my cold lips l feel thy kiss,
Thy heart to mine is laid
Alas that such dream of bliss
Like other dreams must fadel

The San Antonio (Texas) Ledger
states that a high handed outrage
was recently perpetrated by party
of the US. troops at Fredricksburg,
disgraceful 10 the service and all
concerned, and calls for vigorous sc-
ton on the part OF the war Depart
ment. The Ledger says:
"On Monday evening, the lst inst,
a party Of U. S soldiers left their
camp near Fredericksburg, and
marched into town, mounted and
fully armed. They Immediately sur
rounded the store belonging to
Messrs. G. J. Cook & Co., Of this
city, and having placed strong
guards in every direction, to pre-
vent the approach OF any OF the citi-
zens Of the town, proceeded and
broke open the store. A young man
about eighteen years Of age, clerk
in the establishment, was ordered to
procure them a light which order
was enforced by pistol presented at
his breast. They then ordered him
to leave the store in his night dress,
not even permitting him to take his
own clothing. The burglars then
deliberately piled a quantity Of COM
buStible materials in the centre of
the floor and set it on fire, the guard
on the outside, in the meantime, pre-
venting the approach of any person,
either to extinguish the flames, or
save any article from the store; and
the result was that the store and its
entire contents, including the ar
chlves and records Of Gillespie coun-
ty, was entirely destroyed.
The building was the property Of
Mr.. Chester B. Stark, Of Fredricks-
burg, and cost $500. 1t was rent.
ed to c.. Cook & Co., Of this city,
at a yearly rent Of $3.50. The book
accounts, notes and merchandise de-
'troyed is estimated at from $4,000
10 $4,000. In addition TO this, all
he archives and records oil Gillespie
county, including deeds, mortgages,
Sc., belonging to private persons, as
we'll as bonds and vouchers Of ad-
and executors, in short,
everything appertaining to the Coun-
y and Probate Courts were entirely
destroyed"
The circumstances which led to
his disgracelul affair, was an affray

ween a man in the employ OF Cook
Z Co., and soldier, in which the.
after was killed. The evidence

citing in selEdefence, and was ac-
ordingly admitted to bail. This so
nraged the soldiers that they threat
ned TO burn down the town, unless
he accused was delivered into their
ands, The burning Of the store
hows how far the threat was exc

The Asjouransa. OF the Co.vsurIou.

The AdjournmeaI OF the Convention.
Soon after the adjournment OF thl
Constitutional Convention, we no
ticed the attempt Of tile Ohio States
man TO make political capital out ol
iii, by charging the Wings as having
brought it about, in order to render
the Convention and its majority un.
popular with the people. Although
this was not very consistent, coming
from party that has a majority Of
nearly twenty in the Convention,
one of whom moved the adjourn
ment, yet with the peculiar logic ol
that press, it was asserted. Although
the extent which Columbus has suf-
fered with the cholera, has put the
propriety Of the adjournment be-
yond all question, we give the follow
ing from an address of Mr.. Case, of
Licking county, Locofoco member
of the Convention, TO his constit-
uents:
Touching the adjournment of the
Convention, it is known that the law
calling it contemplated that circum-
stances might arise which would
make such an event necessary; hence
provision for it is made in that law.
At the time Of our adjournment,
such were the circumstances sur
rounding US, that | think am safe in
saying that there was not a single
delegate who did not admit the pro-
priety of some adjournment. But
members were, as was to be expect
ed, much divided in opinion as to
time and place. Many who voted
against The resolutions for adjourn
ing, were most clamorous lor some
But some for private,
and others for public reasons, could
not concur with the majority as to
time and place. For some days be-
fore the adjournment we were often

and it was ascertained that on the
day the adjournment resolutions
passed, we should have been left

fence of members, that at 3 O'Clock

Passage of the bill to settle Texa
boundary, through the Senate.
The Intelligence, in announcin,
the passage of Mr.. Pearce's bill
says:
In the long course of Editorial life
it has seliom fallen to our lot TO en-.
joy greater pleasure, in announ-
cling public event, than we expert
enced to-day in announcing that
which, if we could, we would spread
over the whole country in breath,
tie passage through the Senate of the
BIZ tDs,settle the TEXAS Boundary
Question. Considering lhis the most
difficult of all the questions growing
out of the Mexican acquisitions, and
Its adjustment as decisive of the
early settlement of the remaining
points OF controversy, we confess
TO the uncommon degree OF Joy with
which it fills us. Hail Liberty and
Union and Domestic Peace! Hail
Liberty and Union and every great
interest Of the countryI Hail the re-
turn of the Government from its
long alteration back TO its Just
sphere of action and usefulness.
Our first feeling is certainly of
thankfulneSs to Providence for this
important first step in the restora-
ton of National harmony. Our
next sentiment is one Of high respect
and gratitude to those who have
persevered with such unflinching res
olution through this most trying
struggle of the last six months, Gun
seduced," "unterrifed." They have
encountered great responsibility, and
they have encountered it cheerfulIy;
they have made great personal sac
rifces-at least some of them-and
they have made such sacrifices
promptly, and with entire disregard
of personal consequences. Distant,
far distant be the day, when such
patriotic efforts sustained by such |
extraordinary ability and energy,
will be forgotten by the people Of
the United States.
We do not undertake to recite the
precise terms of the healing measure
which has now passed, for we do
not yet know them, and, in truth, we
do not care 10 know them. 1t is
enough for us that the bill was car
ried by three-fifths of the votes of
Ihe Senate, confined TO no section or
party.
1t is a happy circumstance that
he bill was so wisely framed and
natured as TO subdue so many sec
ional prejudices and harmonic so
many conflicting views; and we hear
lily congratulate Mr.. Pearce on the
success which has crowned h
Efforts. We feel justified also in con-
graduating the friends OF the Admin {
stration that this happy adjustment |
las so speedily followed the wise and {
recommendation OF the r
President TO Congress on this per-
licking and menacing subject.
1t now only remains that the
,reat popular branch of the Legisla-
ure should follow up this noble !
work and complete it. We conf =
emily trust they will do so. We +
ul!y believe that in a few days we q
hall be able 10 announce that this /,
nd other healing measures have be-
ONE laws. That is the consumma- Il
ion most devoutly to be wished =
hen indeed, would this great and =
lorious Republic be once more e
Whole as the marble, founded as the rock, Fl
S broad and general as the casing air." p

"bill of fare" during the sickly sea-

Potatoes we'll matured can now
be had. Tomatoes are approaching
a reasonable price, and, when cook
ed, are wholesome. The markets
are abundantly supplied with good
beef, and excellent lamb and NUT
ton. At the bakeries can be procur-
ed sweet bread, and at the produce
stores good flour. The shops supply
rice, farina, and other wholesome ar
ticles. Sweet butter can be had,
good lard, and the best of bacon
Why, good friends, here is enough to
make "least for a king" Who
will not be content with all this, and
the morning and evening tea and
coffee, with a spoonful or two of
good brandy in a glass of cold water
at noon, if it be desired, does not de-
serve anything.
Let these things be supplied upon
our tables, during the remainder OF
the hot weather, and Danish the
green corn, the unripe fruits, the
crude vegetables, and the fermenting
berries, and we shall soon behold
marked and continued Improvement
in the general health. This is COM
