To he Editor Of tho 0rg~si
Bufics 70 say, sir, our order Is increasing here
rapidly. The nrst night No met, after the National
Platform was sstabIisled. ten came In 20 us Bev.
Clarke, the anti America candidate for Governor
spoke here Saturday last. He spoke until ak and
half o'clock r. NJ, to prevent Hon. Garrett Davis
from replying consumed four hours-and the
most outlandish speech ever delivered by any man
who pretends TO be decent, was never before de-
livered In this city.
After Hon. GaiTet Davis arose, such a shout
never before heard. He merely announced that
at candle-lighting he would comply with the wish
of the people by addressing them. AT eight
o'clock the Court House and the adjoining fences,
trees, and tops Of houses, were crowded TO hear
one Of Kentuckys noblest sons. He hoped Mr..
Clarke was present for he desired to lift him out
Of the miry clay, and place his feet upon solid
foundation--for instance, the Philadelphia Plat
form. He enchanted the audience until few
minutes before twelve o'clock p. NJ Bev. L. Clarke
was completely demolished! He called for him
several times, and remarked he hoped some OF his
friends would bring him in that he had few
questions TO PROFOUND, but he did not come! He
was highly eloquent throughout his entire speech,
and showed to the immense crowd, beyond con-
tradction, the principles of our party, and the fa
city Of Clarkes position, and closed with the most
eloquent appeal ever heard, amidst thousands OF
cheers. Yours, truly,
SAMIvEL.
MARIETTA, Ga, July 8.
A friend informs me that Governor johnson, the
Democratic anti KNOWN othing nominee for Gov
ernor, addressed the citizens of Rome, Georgia,
(about 4o0persons being present few days since,
and, while he was speaking, one of Sans" boys
rose and said that "Sam" would deliver an adj
Iraa a. 80 ov,f ha ifa nd
requested they should come and hear him, where
upon, about 500 of the 400 present arose and huz-
Fad for "Sam," and left the Governor with his
handful of unterrfed, rather terrified, to bat
tie by themselves" Such is the spirit throughout
the whole Empire State Of the South"

Mr.. EDlToR: Thinking few lines from this
beautiful wateringplace might not be uninterest-
ing to your numerous readers, / take my pen In
hand.
Piney Point is situated on the Potomac river,
100 miles from Washington, and about 20 miles
from the Bay. 1t Is surrounded by beautiful
grove and the prospect from the Pavilion is truly
magnificent While you are sweltering with the
thermometer at %, We are enjoying delightful
sea-breeze We have fine company at the Point,
and all are enjoying themselves highly.
An unusual excitement has been created within
the laSt Two Gays Dy tIle appearance Vi ueucu-
dous fish, within about half mile Of the Pavilion.
1t was first seen by q party Of gentlemen who
were out on fishing excursion, and who estimate
that it could not have been less than thirty feet
long, with head as large as hogshead Its tail
appeared to be Of bright red with streaks of black
1t was seen distinctly from the Pavilion yesterday
to jump out Of the water with porpoise in his
mouth. Fishermen from every direction in this
vcinityare now out endeavoring to capture the mon
ster Col. Dix, of the Pavilion, has offered re-
ward Of fifty dollars for the capture Of the fish.
Since writing the above, the report has come in
that one of the boats in pursuit had come in con-
tact with the fish, and had been upset, drowning
two of the men. The others saved themselves by
clnging to the boat until assistance arrived. The
names Of the two men drowned are John Harden,
from Leonardtown, and James Tolman, Of st.
Mary's county. The bodies have not as yet been
recovered. It is certain that he is a very large
fish, and various are the conjectures respecting
him. If captured, will write and give you fur
ther information concerning him.
The crops in this part Of the country are album
dant and everything is very promising
understand " Sam" Is hard at work in the
lower counties of Maryland, and with good success;
and that at thu next election Notwithstanding the
powerful opposition he has to encounter willcome
off victorious. Success to him.
News Of the failure Of the Antics to celebrate the
Fourth In Washington has been received here, and
some are awfnlly down in the mouth. The news
Is that they were not able to raise corporars
guard. Poor fellows! their days are numbered
Yours, FRANKLIN.
