lands the settler has built his cabin and laid claim
TO his 100 acres of timber-passag along the
margin Of the prairie, You see the cabins of the
settlers just within the timber-in proportion to
the quantity Of acres in the timber district, will
he the number of cabins. There is no deficiency
of timber or water, for both these are abundant.
But so far as have traversed the county, have
discovered no limestone, and as far as can learn
from the inhabitants, il exists only in small guam
titles and that of very inferior quality so that
builders will be compelled to get all their lime
from the Missouri bluffs, where it abounds.
The large streams which pass through the
county are the two Nishnahotany's and Plum
Creek. The main Nishnabottany is nearly as
large as Skunk, and is so transparent that YOU
can see the fish swimming in its waters Its
channel is very crooked and its bed rocky In
banks which are higher than the adjoining lands,
and for mile, and IN some places more, the
whole valley is submerged. At this time, al
though long drought has succeeded the rainy
season, the valley of the little Nishnabottany is
inundated and impossible, and the grass where
the water has partially receded is from ten to fif-
teen feet high, so that man on horsebacklcan
not be seen, unless you are in position over
looking the valley. The grass even of the prai-
ries is as high as mans head, which to me indi-
Gates more vigorous soil than that of the prai-
res in the counties on the eastern borders of the
State. The cattle which run at large in these
rrairies are the finest saw and are fat as if
stabilized. They get nothing TO feed on but the
wild grass, which, however, must possess greater
nutritive properties, contain a largar quantity of
saccharine and saline matter, than the grass in
the counties in the eartern part of the State. and
contributes TO increase the unctioas particles of
the animal matter.

naturally, is more active than man, and hence
her ease and grace-and her costume must
ever recognize the fact, and be so constructed
as to enable her, at all times, to step to the

"The Duty of the Whip Press. ,,

Underthe above heading, the Ohio State
Journal gives its whig contemporaries some
very fatherly advice as 10 the course they
should pursue the coming winter. In speak
ing of the bills that will be offered, and the
ts-that will be passed, at the next session Of
the Legislature, the Journal hopes no Gun
fair comments will be made, and no deduc-
tions drawn that are not Legitimate No
factions, improper opposition" should be
made to measures not in themselves politi-
cal. The Journal says nothing is to be
"made Or gained in the long run by clab trap
and humbug;" they are therefore to be done
away with henceforth. Every measure should
be "Jairly debated" (another improvement }
and the people should understand the exact
position Of every question. In short, the
Journal hopes the course Of its political breth-
rem will be conciliatory, yet manly and firm;
and says that the wings must submit to take
the medicine they have prepared (by their
"clap-trap and humbug," we suppose) for
themselves. The article of the central whig
organ amounts to just this--"G Gentlemen, we
have tried to defeat the locofocos by clap-trap
and humbug, and by every unfair meanswith-
in our power, and have been badly woIloped
ourselves. Now, let us try a little honesty for
once, as an experiment"

Kossuth.

The Hungarian patriot has defamers and
prosecutors wherever he goes. His Jealous
efforts in the cause Of liberty across the At.
lantic have made him the special mark al
which all the supporters of the old, rotten
and corrupt dispotisms hurl their shafts Of
malice. Their maledictions aud prosecutions
followed him, when, owing to the strong arm
of Nicholas which held up from utter ruin
and re-established the house of Hapsburgh, he
was obliged TO flee his native country and
throw himself upon the mercy of the Moham-
edans. Even there, an exile from home, with
a avigilant guard over him, and when nearly
every afliction in Pandora's box beset him
and Hope herself had almost vanished, the
unrelenting efforts of the employees of the
woman-aogger, TO drag him still further
down, accompanied him. All endeavors to
bring him to an ignominious death proving
abortive, and KoSsuth being again free, the
corrupt governments of the old world are
stricken with fear. They dread his influence
with the people, and his very approach to
their shores alarms them exceedingly. At
Spezzia the people gave him hearty well
come, but the Sandman government saw
something terrible in the demonstration and
the steamer Mississippi was obliged 10 leave
without even taking in a supply of fuel
AT Marseilles he was also welcomed by the
people with that enthusiasm which cbarac-
terizes the French; but Louis Napoleon refus-
ed him permission to pass through his Rspub-
hc, and newspaperat Lyons was suppressed
by order of the government. because the pub
fishers had permitted Kossuth to occupy its
columns in a communication. But this is
not all. Some of our foreign attaches abroad
who associate with officers belonging to the
Sandman and Neapolitan governments, two
OF the worst in Europe, and with them learn
contempt for the people, have taken it upon
themselves to follow the example of Walsh.
late consul at Paris, and write letters home
calculated to lower Kossuth in the estimation
ofthe Americans. Some Of their statements
have been proven false already, and others we
doubt not will be. These gentlemen attaches
will find out, like Walsh, that we have 9th
er and truer sources ofinformation than they.
The following in regard to some of our officers
abroad, we clip from the correspondence of
N. X. Tribune:
They frequent Italy and associate there
mainly with Austrian or NeopoIitan officers
and dignitaries, and naturally absorb and as
simulate very much, far two much at any
nate. Of their peculiar ideas and animosities.

Presidential Movements.

We noticefrom intiniations of the press
that the geat Democratic party Of the coun
i tryis giving signs Of movement in regard tr
presidential candidates. This is natural
and, now that the State elections are eis-
posed Of, it is right. The necessity of union
and harmony 10 the successful,issue of the
contest, not far distant, between the two
greatpolitical parties of the country, is OBJ
vious 10 ALL We want a leader whom ev-
cry democrat in the land can cheerfully fol-
low while battling for the ascendency Of
his cherished principles. It should be q
matter Of pride to the Democracy Of North,
South, East and West, that in It's ranks are
so many distinguished names worthy of be-
ing brought forward in connection with the
highest honors Of the republic. Already
have those Of Houston, Marcy, Butler,
Douglass and Buchanan, been mentioned
by the friends of each Of those gentlemen,
as worthy to be brought forward before a
national convention Of the country in con-
4sciion with The presidency. And wh,
should not Ohio, now The leading Democrat
ic State in the Union, and soon to be sec
ond to none for population, wealth and tai
ent, bring forward some fayorite son, and
with him, her claims to The respect and
consideration of her sister States Such a
son she has. One who has been identified
with the democratic party from his'earliest
youth, and whose powerful voice has been
heard in the national councils and in the as
semblagesof the people, during all the great
struggles of the party for the last twenty
years. A man; who has endeared himself
to the masses Of the Democratic party in
this, as well as in every other State of the
Union, by his never-failing- devotion, to the
Democratic cause and his unfinching sup.
port of all its great leading principles and
measures. This man, and favorite son OF
Ohio, is WILLIAM ALLEN, the "young lion
Of the west" With his name inscribed
upon our banners, we are fain to believe
that the democracy of this State and of the
Union would march forward, as one man,
to one of the most glorious victories we ever
achieved since we have been nation.
We thus speak, beause we feel that it is
time the people should begin 10 think on
the subject and to form opinions which shall
give direction to the action of conventions,
rather than wait for conventions to give di-
rection to public opinion. We hope that
the distinguished individual whose name
We have mentioned will permit it to be
used by his friends, when we shall be pleas
ed, without any disparagement to otherdis-
tinguished names, to place it at our mast
head, as our first choice, as we doubt not it
is of almost every democrat in this section
Of the county. Subject always to the de-
cision of the representatives of the entire
Democracy of the Union in council assem-
bled.

TA correspondent Of the Baltimore Sun
says: "The 18th article of the treaty of
Guadaloupe Hidalgo is beginning to give us a
deal Of trouble. Mexico is filling claims
against us to an enormous amount, and its
execution may yet cost the U. States as much
gold as we are receiving from California
The 18th article Of the treaty was precisely
that which was added by Mr.. Trist, 'on his
own hook, and against the instructions of the
late President Mr. Polk.

Ladies on Horseback,


A new feature was introduced al the Lick
ing county Agricultural Fair, which is graph
ically described by the editor Of the Ohio
Cultivator, as follows - % s
"The most exciting feature of the fist
days exhibition was the competition for the
three premiums offered for ladies' riding
horses, which in the end turned upon the
skill of the fair riders themselves. Three
horses were entered, and made their debut
within the ring at an easy pace. Misses
Seymour, of Madison, and MARBLE, Of New
ton, in elegant riding costume, at first led
the ring with decided advantage. Miss
Hollenbeck, Of Hanover, followed, riding
the horse of N. B. Hogg, in walking dress,
but being girl Of true knightly grit, soon
Idexterously reined in her horse, and by a
few well applied blows from her riding
whip, brought up his mettle to the guage
Of her own, then giving him rein, dashed
forward, and taking the "inside," such
wild Arab fight sober Buckeyes never saw
before. On, on few the beautiful steeds
and the thousands cheered heartily-thc
winds played the mischief with her petit
coats, but her victory was complete. Then
a series of evolutions, curyetings and contra
pas, showed what country girls can do
when they get the reins into their own
hands. The premiums were awarded to the
ladies by acclamaton."
This is a novel feature in fairs, and not
by any means bad one. We commend II
to the attention Of our agricultural society
and trust that premium may be offered at
our next fair for ladies' riding horses. They
are exceedingly scarce in this region, and it
is seldom we see lady mounted upon a
good riding animal.
