Take your Paper.

Every man ought to take his own coun
ty paper from now until Spring, at least,
as the winteris fairly setin and the nights
are getting long. In our paper will be
found greater variety of reading than in
any literary paper sent to this county
Then we give all our own county matters,
in which things, every citizen of Wyandot
is more or less interested. The farmer
cannot procure a better companion, as we
give more agricultural matter than any
other country paper in this State, selected
and prepared by person qualified for
the task k.fg iaeo sE lol0i l@ r.i a-
Have weinot reason to believe that our
subscription list will be double what it is,
between now and Spring? All we want
to have our subscription list double its
present number, is little action on the
part of our friendsin our behalf. If half
the exertion used for city prints, was ex
erted for the Pioneer, a different state of
things would exist. In a county where
we have over two thousand voters, the
county paper ought to have at least, one
thousand subscribers. Our list can and
must number eight hundred or one thous-
and names before another year rolls
round. .ldi r.. El s.I Io a5 ibid.
Go to work and help us along with this
enterprise, as you are all interested in the
matter, as citizens Of Wyandot county
Without paper what would be known
of your rise and progress in the world ?
When you look at this matter properly,
have we not right to expect your aid in
our behalf?, We think we have, and will
look for it.
The readers of the Pioneer cannot COM
plain about the quantity Of reading mat
ter, for we give more reading than any
country paper that comes to our Office, and
we have pretty large exchange list
In fact, we think the citizens of this coun-
ty have every inducement to take the Pi-
onaer. 1t is large sheet, printed on new
type, and contains more good reading
matter than half the papers in the State
of Ohio. Then this being the case, let
us have your names and $500, and you
will receive the paper one year.

u. s. Circuit Court.

The Bank-tax case in Cleveland, Treas
urer Dodge, Of Cuyahoga Us Deshle, of
Buffalo. was before Judge Mclean on
Tuesday. The State Journal says that
among the points urged was the right of a /.
State to pass laws annullingthe involability
of contracts. This brought up the much
disputed point whether bank charter is a
contract, and whether the State of Ohio
has a right to pass any laws changing the 4
condition Of bank character on the sub
ject of: taxation without the consent of the 5
bank. Wepresume this point also goesto
the Supreme Court of the United States,
with the chose in action point for final ad-
judictation. The counsel for the defense
in this case will get record and have an
allowance of writ of error for the pur
pose of taking these legal points to the
Court of the last resort, to the Supreme
Court OF the United States at Washington, 3

Late from New Mexico and the Plains.


Late from New Mexico and the Plains.
Late advices at St. Louis from Santa
Fe and the Plains report the arrival there
from the Pacific Of t. sreat traveller.
Mr.. Aubrey. who took over to California
large herd Of cattle, sheep, mules, DC.
He crossed the Sierra-Nevsda at the.
TETON Pass, on the 9Th July, and struck
the Rio Del Norte at Heralto. The route
has no obstruction for either a railroad or
a wagonroad.
Mr.. Aubrey found gold at the crossing
OF the Colorado river and other places.
He also found silver and copper ore in
great abundance. zsb.asssa ssfr
The indians were very numerous and
very hostile, and fought Aubrey's party
for thirty days, and nearly all Of the par
ty were wounded. Aubrey himself re-
ceived eight wounds at different times
The fight was chiefly with the Jarrotes.
The party met a tribe of Indians two
hundred miles west of Zune who had
gold bullets for their guns. 3F

everything having been removed to Fort

Now is the Time.

We will give this notice for the benefit OF
those of our subscribers who wish to pay
their subscription in mood. This ie the time
to bring the wood while the roads are
good, and then we will not have to be con-
stantly calling for wood. We want it un-
derstood, thatif the wood is not on hand
when we want it, cash will in all such ca.
ses be demanded. One call of this kind
should be sufficient, and we think, but
few notices of the sort will appear in oul
papor; therefore, those concerned viii
take notice.
The man who publishes paper earns
all he gets for that paper, and people
should not expect him to earn his money
and then afterwards beg for it. This lat.
ter clause is out of our line of doing bus
iness, as we conceive we earn our money
just as fairly and honorably as any man
We will take wood, produce and such
other articles on subscription as suit us
at cash prices. Now is the time for farm.
ers to come in and subscribe, for DURING
the long nights, they will need something
to read and pass away their idle hours.

An Abuse Loped OFF.

The Maysville Express, ,+of. the 18th,
has made an exposure of an abuse of the
Government patrimony which should be
Immediately rebuked and an end put to
it.at once. It is known that the fashion
able watering place, called the sHarrods-
bury Springs, in Kentucky, was lately
purchased for Government Military
Asylum, a retreat for the broken down
and worn out soldier, where comfortable
quarters, wholesome food and kind treat
ment shall surround the evening of life.
According to the Express, there are. now
but twenty-five old soldiers there, vet
the Board are about extending the build
ings, the officers in attendance alleging
that there is not room enough for their
accomodation-this, too, said of place
which has many season provided for
five hundred Of the most fashionable and
exacting visitors. The Express is advis-
ed that the officers have quartered them
selves in the best portions Of the proper
ty, and houses are now to be built for
the accommodation of the men--detach-
ed from the main buildings, of course,
for it would never do to bring them in
close proximity to the gentlemen off i
GERS. Such is the folly Of. this military
board
Congress should rip up this folly and
defend the old soldiers in their rights.

Editorial convention.

If there is any earnestness in what is
said about this matter, let us come to an
understanding; and have full conven-
ton, and that right speedily. Journalism
is about the most potent element in this
country. 1t is not in Ohio, just what it
should be-just what we would like to
have it, in the estimation of that public,
which it is continually serving and benefit
ing. Our votes are for Convention,
at Columbus as the most central point
and accessible point; but Convention
any how at any place. We can travel
where any body else can Ohio States
man.
That is just our opinion in relation to
the editorial convention. We can travel
anywhere, but we believe Columbus to be
about as central as any point; and there
arc many who would rather attend a con-
ventlon there than any where else. But
let us have convention, at all events, as
some new regulations among our craft
are absolutely necessary for our own
good The importance of the convention
must be visible to every editor, and there
fore, we should have full representa-
ton.

ERRoR.-The Statesman. bv SON

ERRoR.-The Statesman, by some
means or other, has fallen into an error in
relation to the election of John Carey in
Hardin county. 1t is true, this gentle
man received a majority of the votes in
that county, but Wyandot came in and
settled the matter, by electing Peter A.
Tyler, Esq. Hardin and Wyandot elect
together, unfor tunately for Judge Carey.
The Statesman, will therefore, see, that
there is one less Wing, or rather bolter,
elected than put down in its list of Repre-
sentatiyes. tl

HORACE GREELr.-This gentleman has
been away out in Indiana, and took ride
on a hand car. He gives description of
the ride. This may be interesting to his
readers but outin these 'diggings' we all
understand such things. He says of the
labor in propelling the hand car:
cit only tried my hand at propelling for
a short mile, and that experience sufficed
to convince me that, however it may be as
business, this species Of exercise cannot
be conscientiously commended as an a.
musement." ...
The people in the west follow many
things, as business, that could not con
scientiously be commend as an amuse-
ment.''

IMPRovEMEST.-We are very glad to
see the Improvement going on in our town,
in the way of side walks. This is thing
much needed for comfort, and it will add
greatly to the appearance of our place.
The Improvement ought to be general,
and then we could pass along the streets
without getting in mud, as we now do
without pavements. We are in hopes that
something will be done in relation to the
street crossings, as they are in rather
bad condition, for mudy times. Let us
have little more enterprise and taste dis
played by our citizens, as by our town inn
provements wecan loose nothing and gain
much. Don't all speak at once!
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-10-27

Every day is bringing nearer the ar
rival ofithc cars in our town, when we can
look for a little more stir among our peo-
pier Cur improvement will bcmuch more
rapid when the cars get to running into
our place, if the railroad here operates as
it does in other places. Between now
and Spring, we win have the cars running
through from Philadelphia to Ft. Wayne,
Indiana. This will be one of the longest
roads in the United States. and will un-
doubtedly do a good business The trav-
el on this road must be great, inaconse-
quence of the direct line east and west,
leading to points where persons can get to
almost every place. ~.

stantial, tospredict bright future for Ups

natural ladyaptages surrounding our place,
hare we not every. thing to encourage
rapid Improvement? !, We daresay that
in the nexttwo years, this town will i'm
prove more than it has in lessyys lessy six previ=
Gus years, although our progress has been
far ahead of many older places. In the
last year much substantial and permanent
Improvement has, been made. Several
very good brick buildings have been put
up this summer, and :other buildings are
now going up. We are pleased to see
things look so bright for ourfuture growth
and prosperity.

Electinns Over.

The elections are nearly all over, and
strange to say, Notwithstanding the vari-
Gus unions of factions of every name, sort
and kindred. the democracy have every-1
where triumphed. At time, it was sup
posed that these factions existed only in
certain places; but this was not the case !;
the fusionists existed all over the whole
country. and even got into California. 1t
was supposed that by such combinations
as existed, the Democracy would be overs
thrown, but such was not the result.
Our party has been triumphantly success,
full, and therefore, the greater the victory.
In view of these facts, have not tho
true, tried and firm Democrats, great
cause TO rejoice.oyer the grand and most
glorious triumph gained in every section
of country wherr an election has been
held? California, with the rest Of the
States, has gone democratic. - Victory is
written upon. our banner In every section.
Our party has gained this battle over all
factions, and now stands out boldly as the
salt of the earth.
Itnow becomes our Representatives, to
ponder well o, er all the matters brought
before them for their actions. The peo-
pie have elected them to enact laws that
will operate equally and justly upon all
classes, and as Democrats, we will expect
them to act with caution, prudence and
.frmness. Legislation is matter that
should not be too hastily passed upon
One bad law is worse than no law at all !;
and that We may have good and whole
some laws, let those elected to enact laws,
be observant in their actions. The future
success and welfare Of our party, greatly
depend upon the proper and careful
course pursued byou democratic admin
istration this winter.
