Bouxrr LAND WARRASrs.-The fol

BoUSrY LAND WARRANrs.-The fol-
lowing communication appears in late
number Of the New York Tribune:
SIR: At the present rate of issues of
bounty land warrants, say goo per day,
some two years must elspse before very
many of the present claimants can ex-
pect to receive their warrants. Many
of the applicants will be dead before
that period arrives. Complaints are
made from all parts of the country at
this unnecessary delay, and the COM
missioner is often requested to put on
more clerks to expedite the business,
but continues to treat both complaints
and requests with sovereign contempt.
Many claimants are poor, and possibly
he or his friends can speculate in claims
to their advantage, or he desires to re-
tain the present force of the Pension
Office until after the commencement Of
the next presidential term. Without
answering the request to increase the
force, the Union attempts to show that
delay is occasioned, by the necessary
care to be taken to prevent fraud; if so,
then the greater reason for an increase
of clerical force. By this neglect Of
their interests, the present administra-
ton will hardly increase its partisans
among BoUNTY-LAND CLAIMANTS.
About FIVE months have elapsed since
the passage of the new bounty-land act,
and during that time tro haNdred and
eleUen thousand applicants under that
act have been received, of which num-
Der 175, $50 have been enveloped and
briefed, IT'S, $40 acknowledged, 100, $40
registered in two-letter index, $3.50
examined or re-examined, and 1926
warrants or certificates issued--an
amount of clerical labor without
parellel in the history of our govern
ment. Nearly one hundred and fifty
clerks have, since the pessage of this
act, labored diligently, faithfully, and
intelligently to execute law which de-
mands untiring patience, considerable
investigation, voluminous eorrespon-
dence, and the most jealous care.

As the Democrats have no organ
here, 1 wish to occupy small space in
your columns. The regular convention
of the party called by the central COM
mittee, of which DR.. Morgan constitu-
ted member, nominated Gen. George
House, for Representative. The nomi-
nation was unsolicited by the General,
in fact he declined it publicly. but being
pressed and solicited until forbearance
ceased to be virtue, he yielded to the
call of his countrymen and consented to
accept.
DR.. Morgan, it appears, was anxious
and busy from the call to the sitting of
the convention to obtain the nomination
himself for the Office, but having failed
was so much agrieved about something
nobody knew what, as to seek redress
by running as an independent candidate.
Whether as an independent Demo
cratic candidate or Maine Law candi-
date-or a Know-Nothing candidate
or moral and religious candidate-or
what-not candidate seems to depend
entirely upon the person he approaches
to electioneer. Ihad heard that he was
all things to all men, and while in the
country the other day at small gath
ering of people, 1 took occasion to speak
of the election. In taking the sense of
the voters l found some present who
professed to be Morgan men. They
were all very. respectable men, and
each had the utmost confidence in the
other for sincerity and truthfuIness.
Morgan men being rare in that vicinity
they were politely called upon for their
reasons for inclining to his support
There was some little hesitation but f.
nally commenced to tell wherein he was
in favor of Morgan. "Well he is a
good looking man, and will compare
with any for personal appearance and
qualifications. He is in favor of tenn
perance-a Maine law man"-(here the
speaker was interrupted by a voice
saying "The Doctor expressly told me
he was not Maine law man"-the cir
cumstances on each side were being en-
tered into, when interfered and acted
as mediator, for I saw the thing was
coming oat--I called them to order
and requested the speaker to proceed,
''Well he is in favor of the Philadel-
phia Platform and viii be right for U.
s. Senator" (here he was again inter-
rupted BY voice saying that the Doc
tor denied being now-Nothing-an-
other voice "he is in favor of an old line
Democrat for Senator") "well he is a
religious man and speaks fayorably of
our church" "over the left," cried a
voice. Did you ever hear him speak
of Methodist revivals) "Well he is in

Arrival Of the Baltic.
NEW YoRK, Sep. 2

The steamship Baltic arrived from
Liverpool with dates to the 9Th, being
one weeks later advices.
Generals Simpson and Pellissier tele-
graph on the Sd that there is nothing
new respecting the siege. The Rus
SLAMS are again threatening an attack on
the Tchernaya, hence the allied army
are continually on the alert, and the
parties remain constantly under arms
The question is whether the Russians
will attack the Tchernaya lines or Bala-
klava via Baidar Valley. Gen Simp-
son says that the Russians are actively
engaged in bringing the harbor and
fortifying the north side, and have re-
ceived reinforcements.
There is nothing from the Black Sea
or the Baltic.
The Turkish Bulletin says that the
Russians have not the means to attack
Kars, and that in recent partial attack
they suffered loss.
There is no reliable information res
pecting the negotiations, but it is repor-
ted that the German powers are prepar-
ing a new programme to confne the
war to its ostensible objects.
1t is rumored that England instiga-
ted by France, is about to take meas
ures of hostility against Naples.
The latest report is that Gortscha-
koff writes that his defences are dam
aged. but the report is doubted.
GREAT BRIFAIN.-The Bank of Eng
land has advanced its notes to four per
cent.
There is not word of political news
Of interest if we except the rumor cur
rent in the clubs that Great Britain in
tends to call Naples to account, and
will make the recent insult Of the Nea-
politan police to an attachee of the
British embassy the groundwork of a
quarrel.
The news of the death of the Hon.
Abbot Lawrence was received in Eng
land with expressions of sympathy; on
the 7th the American ships in port at
Liverpool displayed their flags at half
mast out of respect to the deceased.
The harvest throughout Austria is
about an average, being neither posi-
lively good nor the reverse.
BREADsTUFFs.-The circular of Brown,
Shiply & Co., quote -four as steady,

tably higher. Western Canal Flour

E A writer in the Gallia Republi-
can, over the signature of R.. (the ini-
tial of Rogue, we presume, in giving
an account of the Chase abolition meet
ing here, charges US with having hissed
the king of the wooleys. Although
many as good men as we, and far better
ones than R. or Rogue. showed their
contempt for the big woolley, and how
ever much we felt at that particular
time like initiating the "goose," to the
best of our recollection no noise of the
kind issued from our "opening" upon
that interesting occasion to all kinkeys.
So you see, Mr.. Rogue, or Mr.. R., that
we could not have Kissed the big woolley
without parting our lips, and as we went
with the determination to listen and not
speak, you see at once the predicament
into which your prejudices have led you.
Keep cool, Mr.. Rogue, (confound it, we
mean Mr.. R., } and don't let your preju-
diccs run away with your manhood, for
in these degenerating times we require
the aid of all such good looking woolleys
to steal the sleek, fat darkeys from Vir-
ginia and run them through to the cold
regions of the North. So eat cucum-
bers End keep cool, Mr.. Rogue-there it
is again-"well let it go apple-sass."

PREMIUM ON WooLLEE GooDs.--We
learn that the first premium was awar-
ded at the State Fair to the Union Fac
tory in this town on the article of Flan-
nels. We also are informed that the
woollen goods generally, of the Union
Factory, would have taken every pre-
MUM, had they been exhibited. This
is saying nothing disparaging of the
goods on exhibition, but those manufae-
tured at this factory are acknowledged
by good judges to be the best in the
State. It is worth the attention Of our
citizens to examine homemade goods
before foreign fabrics, and Whenit comes
to purchasing, the homemade will be
found far superior-at least in wooller
goods.

INDIAN BATTLE IN MINNESOTA
NINETEEN Sioux KILLED.-A cores
pondent of the st. Paul Democrat
writing from the Lower Sioux Agency
/ in Minnesota, gives an account Of /;
battle near that place between a party
of Missouri half-breeds, assisted by
some Chippewa Indians, and band o.
( Yankton Sioux:
1t appears that the Sioux were en-
camped on the open prairie to the amount
of eighty lodges, and as they were on
the confines Of hostile country, kept
themselves prepared for sudden at.
tack by sleeping on their arms. They
had passed the night, however, in ap-
parent security, although the enemy
was almost in their midst, waiting for
their favorable hour to strike--that
hour when man is supposed to sleep
the soundest, the darkest hour Of the
night, Just before daybreak.
The first intimation the Sioux had of
their approach was murderous fire
opened upon them by the whole force
Of the allied enemy, who, upon firing
the first volley, retreated and fed for
their horses, pursued by the entire band
of warriors m the Sioux camp, who
kept up a running fire on them so hot
that only few of them had time to
reach their horses; the rest scattered of
in the darkness, leaving in the hands
of the Sioux two hundred and fifty
horses and seventy-one head of cattle.
The Sioux had sixty-three wounded,
nineteen of whom have since died.
They found three Chippewas and one
half lf-breed dead on the ground, and sup
pose there is greater number OF the
enemy wounded than of their own men.
The Sioux of the plains have sworn
vengeance against the haIf-breeds, and
every fighting man is reported to be
out on the war-path, lowering about
the trail by which the half-breeds that
have lately been paying St. Paul visit
to purchase their winter supplies, have
to return to their homes on the Red
river of the North. The Yanktons are
a wild and warlike race, measuring out
Justice by their own immutable law
death for death; and nothing can now
appease the wrath of their Great Spirit
but like number to what they have
lost of their own men of their enemy's
scalps reeking at their belts. The half
breeds, as the aggressors, cannot expect
mercy; and forgiveness is word un-
known to the Sioux of the Plains.

DIsAPPoIETMENT.-By some to us
unaceountable means the Hon. John L.
Taylor, B. F. Conway, and Joseph H.
Geiger failed to fulfill their appointment
in this place on Tuesday last. The
town was literally alive with persons
from the country, and we regret very
much the disappointment. But never
mind, boys, it will be all right on the
9th day of October. when Chase, the
woolley, will receive greater disap-
pointment.
The State Central Committee should
be careful and not make appointments
that cannot be fulfilled, for were it in
any cause other than that of the old
Farmer of Highland, it would result
rather disastrous.
Finding it was too late for the speak
ers to arrive and address the citizens,
our fellow townsman, the Hon. ALoSZc
CUSHING, addressed about three hun
dred in his usual able style at the
court house, after the most of those
from the country had dispersed. He
set forth the claims of Gen. ALLEN
TR1MBLE about right, and from the feel
ing manifested the woolleys may make
up their minds for disastrous defeat
on the 9th day Of October.

Gallia county, the first number of which

BY a joint stock company, of which

We cannot answer all the interroga-

will shed all the light we have. Meigs
county was entitled TO 27 and Lawrence
to I6 votes. Mr.. Hawley received the
full vote of these two counties, we be-
lieve, with two from one of the other
counties. which gave him 45 votes, 80
being necessary to choice. We knew
that Lawrence was not entitled and did
not expect the candidate this year, con-
sequently Gallia's whole vote each bal
lot was given to candidates in the up
per counties, "good men and true, :"
whose positive political principles" are
well known. but the Meigs delegates
through some under current were in
duced to vote for Mr.. Hawley, and thus
deprived one of the upper counties of
their right. Mr.. HawleY is an utter
stranger to us, we never saw or spoke
to him but once, and that was the day
after his nomination, and "what his pol
itics are, or what we may expect from
him in case he is elected" we are una
bic to say-but hope he will not vote
for Wade or the. to-be defeated Chase
for the U. S. Senate.
