WAR AT SpRIyGFIELD.-After trying nor
thern Illinois to get up reaction in his favor
and for slavery extension, DOUGLAS went to
Springfield, the Capitol of his State, where he
met the same success as before, Judge BREEsE
was there with his Shillalie to wallop DoUG-
LAS into his senses. The Judge is an old DEM
ocratic competitor of DOUGLAS, and is for war
to the knife, The Galena Jefersonian says of
the reception which DOUGLAS met at Spring.
field, that
The past week has been one of great activ-
ity in Springfield. The State Fair has been in
full blast; Douglas has been Nebraskaising !;
Lincoln, Trumbull, Breese and others have
answered /; the Republican Convention has
been In session, and between them all, the po-
ltlcaii elements have been stirred up from the
very bottum.
AS we before said, Douglas meets with OPP
position In the very heart of of his dominion,
that ne Titled expected. The very best men
and purest democrats ofCentral andSouthernIl-
linois are arrayed against him; the people turn
from him with GOODNESS and in some cases with
disgust the mere politicians begin to dis trust
his omnipotence to regulat the affairs of the
State and they are dropping away from
him and his cause by hundreds and thous-
ands. He is said to be sick and dshearte n

ENT The voters of School District No.
3, in Lancaster embracing the village, met
at an adjourned meeting on Friday even
ing last and resolved to build new school
house Of substantial material, with suffi-
Gent space or rooms to hold all the scho-
lars Of the district and more too, and to be
subdivided into two Or more rooms for the
accommodation of classes, the entire cost
to be not less than $1,000, nor over 81
500. The suggestion to borrow most Of
the money for term of years met with
much favor, and will likely be adopted. A
Committee on building, location, &C., was
appointed with instructions to report at an
adjourned meeting ON next Saturday eve
ming at 81 o'clock The meeting was al
most unanimous for building.

Loss of Steamship Arctic-4OO
Lives Lost.
New York. Oct. II.

new YORK, Oct. IL.
ONLY THIRrY-Two sAvED.-The steam
ship Arctic was lost off Cape Race on the 9th

Propeller. Only 80 persons are known to be

The speed OF the Arctic at that ii me was about
thirteen knots an hour, and the Propeller had
all sails set, with strong fair wind 1t was
supposed at first that the Arctic had sustained
little or no injury. Assistance was Immediate
ly rendered to the Propeller, which was fright
fully injured, but it was soon discovered that
the Arcuc was also leaking fast, and it gain
ed so rapidly that the fires were soon ex-
inlngulshed. Every effort was tried to save
those on the Arctic but as four or five boats
mad lett to render assistance to the Propeller.
there was only one left, viii CHI was soon filled
and raft was hastily constructed. A panic
took possession of those on board the Arctic
and they crowded for the after part of the
boat
A number reached it, while others were

SWEET PoTAToEs.-Doubts have /

SWEET PoTAToEs.-Doubts have been
so general about cultivating these roots sue
cessfully that people have not even thought
it worth while to try them as an expert
ment. Mr.. JAMES HATCHER, who deals in
fruit trees, shrubbery, flowers DC, at Platte
vile brought on lot Of sweet potato roots
last spring, and by considerable coaxing a
good many were induced to purchase small
quantities on trial. Several of our neigh
bors purchased and by autumn found them
well matured and of as large size as they
commonly grow in the south. Mr.. ]. T..
MILLS of Lancaster has raised fair crop
of them; the specimens he presented to us
were very large and well matured, many
of them weighing over two pounds. The
soil in his garden in which he planted them
is not over rich, being rather in its natural
condition, like every thing else under his
care and cultivation. He did however.
take over common care to DESTROY his
friends the weeds, contrary to his nature,
custom and feelings. The season has been
excellent for this crop, the warm and dry
weather continuing until late in the fall.
We think however that this kind of crop
will do well every average season in our
soil and climate.
The roots cannot be kept very well over
winter in this region, but they can be
brought from the south and sold very cheap.
We presume Mr HAroAER will bring them
again in the spring.

democratic Logic.

Indeed, the Grant County Democracy,
we mean those who follow Democracy Tor
a trade and for what it is worth in dollars
and cents, are in a predicament. 1t IS true
they are no better off in other counties, or
in other States. Here they have candi-
date up for Congress who stands upon a
platform SO polluted with aiggerisms that
all who read and think won't 90 near it
Their candidates for the miner Offices, such
as Assembly and County officers, have con-
cluded to swallow HoYT and his platform
except the tail. Squatter Sovereignty, be-
ing the only real test of Democracy, and
which, not one of them will abandon for
fear of losing his identity and going over
on to Republican ground where freedom
dwells, is the only plank they don't swal-
low out of sight. They will stick to it till
the last-come what may. 1t is Douglas
last hope and it is theirs, and they will
hold to it as long as the Administration
lives.
They will proclaim Non-Intervention
but give up Nebraska; oppose the repeal
of the Missouri Compromise but contend
for the principle. "The principle is right"
say they, "yet the repeal was wrong be-
cause of the agitation" "The agitation
will secure Kansas and Nebraska to Free
dom," say they, "yet the agitation is
wrongw Which is as much as to say, pub
lie discussion of the question is wrong be-
cause it leads to agitation, yet agitation is
all that can keep slavery out of those ter
ritories; therefore, public discussion is
wrong but the principle is right. Such
Democracy and such logic men who read
and think are growing tired of.

CassYilIe.


This renowned river village in the south
west part of Grant County, will probably
soon be disenthralled from that cumrbous
weight SO long suspended over it from
worse motives than those of gain or even
selfishness,- surely suicide never begat
gain or accomplished noble ends. 1t is not
enough to say that Cassville occupies first
rate city site, well adapted for commerce
and internal trade, lit occupies conanaan-
ding portion for these and more. It occu-
pies the same natural position for recep-
tacle of commerce that Galena does,or Du-
buqe or st. Paul, with this difference, -
that it is better situated in every way than
any Of them. The Mississippi is clear Of
islands and every other obstruction at
Cassville, and there is nothing to prevent
its being healthy. In event Of the south
ern Wisconsin Railroad being finished, ac-
cording to presant real or pretended design,
an event that we rather hope for than ex-
pect, Cassville will become one of the finest
cities in the northwest.
Cassville is now we'll supplied with wear
houses, there being several new ones fin
ished or nearly SO, and we are told the ex-
tensive produce merchants there will be a.
,
BILE to store 100000 bushels of grain, and
to pay the highest price in cash for that
and as much more. It's business men have
a good name for fair dealing, promptness
and responsibility, which is three-fourths Of
the battle of life and fortune. This is what
has given Galena and Galeneans the ire
mendious trade and influence over all 9th
er business places and men of the upper
Mississippi. Commercial advantages may
be something to city or village, but it's
the men after all that dicide its fate and
fortune, just as much as the men make
Gibralter the strongest fort in the world
rather than its granite and other inaccessi-
bilities.

nearly abreast of the Light House. She was
immediately headed for the shore but was un-
able to reach shallow water before the flames
had complete possession of her. The after
part OF the boat swung around into the river
