The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
(particularly the portion situated in Iinos) work
cd under former leases from the Government which
had not expired mt the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
mourning the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most Of them are believed
to be very productive. They ali more or less

rivers and other cheap means of transportation Of

products Of the latitude in which they located.

The ADOllOneanS.

The Eddy Family arrived here on Monday af-
ternoon, and had advertised concert to be given
in the Court House on that evening. The room
was made warm and comfortable, and as the
rain came down in torrents the good people of
this town were rejoiced at an opportunity of
Willing away the hours of 80 unpleasant eve
ming in listening to the enhancing music of these
delightful singers But they were doomed to
disappointment. The clerk of the county COM
missioners, Mr.. Waters, took upon himself the
responsibility of locking the front door of the
court house and taking the key home with him,
presuming that the commissioners would be an
CRY if a concert given in the court room,
they having some time ago agreed that no per-
son should have the room for such purpose. But
since the passage of such act the commissioners
generously granted the room on several occa-
sions, the last time TO band of negro serena
ders, and had they been in town they would no
doubt have given it to the Eddy Family. Mr.
W. was called upon by several persons and re-
fused to deliver up the key, although this was
the first time he had been SO careful about lock
ing the door and taking the key to his own house.
However, a short time afterwards, he gave the
key 10 Mr. Roberts, who has been appointed to

were disappointed kindly invited our citizens to
the Mansion House and sang a number of songs,
gratuitously. They acquitted themselves admi-
rably and intend giving concert this evening,
Thursday which we would advise all lovers of
good singing to attend.

state and County Taxes.

Gov Johnston said, in his Lancaster speech,
that "the reduction of the debt half million
of dollars, and the completion of certain of the
public works, haze been effected rrithout any in
creased taration upon the farmers of the Common
rpedlth." We take the extract from the Blair
County "Whig" of July 8, so that there is no
mutilation on our part. Now the above is all
fudge and bombast. 1t would indeed be little
singular, if Gov. Johnston could pay off go much
of the State Debt without increasing the taxes of
the people, and in that event, we would certain
ly be willing to say that he is an experienced
fnancier and always has lots of money in his
pockets to pay his debts, although he never re-
ceives any.
But what are the facts? The following state
ment, with the seal of the Auditor Generals
Office attached, regularly certified to, shows an
increased taxation during the administration
of Gov. Johnston over and above the amount
assessed during the administration of the Ia
mented Skunk, and We ask for it q careful ex-
animation. Recollect, John w. Hammond, Esq,
is Whig Clerk in the Auditor Generals office.

The wings of Blair county met at Holidays
burg on Saturday to hear Gov. Johnston speak.
1t rained all day, and the crowd was an unusually
small one for Blair county. We were present
and judged the number of persons in attendance
not to exceed five hundred. The Gov. spoke
for two or three hours and talked of nothing
scarcely, except "my sinken fund" and so tired
his hearers that when he vas done, there was
nothing left of the immense crowd but the band
and corporsPs guard. A number Of banners
were hung out but not one of them bore the
name of Strohm. The cry was for Johnston and
Scott. Johnston for Governor and Gen. Scott
for Canal Commissioner, we supposed. The
greatest man always first. Poor Mexican Strohm
totally neglected, there tcere none present to
do him reverence. The Governor in excusing
himself for not getting out of the cars near
Christiana to see the body of the murdered Cor
SUCH said "he did not do so because he ,cas no
coroner; no committing magistrate; he could do
nothing for dead if he could hare ,taid q
ueek." This is rich. Nice language for the
Governor of this State to use. Can man de-
void of feelng-so lost to all those charitable
impulses of the human heart which teach us to
honor and respect the dead, receive the vote OF
his own party? If we were even whig, Shich
would astonish US, we would repudiate him and
do everything in our power to defeat him.
Freemen of Cambria look at the picture and
judge the man from words he has uttered. Col.
f. c. Hyneman, prominent democrat from
Philadelphia, was along with US, and met John
Williamson, of Huntingdon, the street. Mr..
w. offered to bet him $500 on Johnston's cleo
ton. Col. H. said he would take all such bets
and invited Mr. W. over to the American House
to fork up. The Col. planked up the documents
but MI W. backed out and said he would put up
forfeit of $50 after supper. After supper
several attempts we're made to induce other
wings to accept the challenge, but the money
dld not make its appearance, and Col. II. finding
he could win no dimes from the downhearted
wings of Blair, left for his home. The coons are
afraid and already begin to howl the last note of
their own defeat.

The Art of Spelling

Presuming that there are some persons at a
distance who might, upon reading the Johns
town "Valley Wreath be under the impression
that the learned editor of that paper is the er-
ponent and embodiment of the art photographed
in this county, We deem it our duty to say that
he is not considered as such in this region and
that the emanations from his quill are not to be
taken Uerbatim ct hterat'n as a sample of the in
telligence that characterizes the majority of our
citizens For the enlightenment of our numer-
Gus readers upon this subject we annex a num-
Der of words taken from several numbers of that
paper, and sincerely hope no person will be 80
silly az to adopt them for their own use, over
the correct standard of spelling now in use, and
taken from the rightful authorities, Webster &
