THE NECESSITY OF REcREATIos.-Games,
gayeties, sports, spectacles, there will be, as
long MS men have limbs, or eyes, or ears
The development here is ms natural ms It is
in the arts. You might Ms we'll talk of ex.
tirpa.ing music and painting, as Of driving
the common amusements out of the world.
Now, there are abuses Of these things
What are we to say of the abuses2 "Let
them crush down and destroy the things"
do we say! But they cannot. Then let
them be cut off. There is really nothing
else to be done. Elevate, refine, purify the
public amusements. Let religion recognize
and restrain them. Let it not, as is too
common, drive them to license and extrav-
agance; but lie. it throw around them its
gentle and holy bonds, to make them pure,
cheerful, healthful-helpfnl to the great
ends of life. What blessed thing for the
world were it, If its amusemerts could thus
be rescued, redeemed, and brought into the
service of its virtue and purity.

Mr.. EDITOR: l have but time 10 say that the
candidates for Governor were here and addressed
large crowd of people of this and the adjoining
counties, on the Goth ult. Mr.. Rollins acquitted
himself in dignifed and statesmanlke manner,
to all but the Anti party, using up his opponent
worse than ever saw any man used before
While Mr.. Stewart spent his time in TRADE
abuse and insulting language, unequalled by any
thing ever saw or heard before until some Of
his friends said he was drunk have no doubt
if il was to do over that Trusten Polk would have
TO hold on at least, for season. Mr.. Stewart
took positions as though he thought Rollins and
the crowd were simpletons-made an attempt at
some vulgar anecdotes that / guess he will never
repeat All is right here. The Benton, Wing,
and American parties will assuredly vote for Rol.
Inns as Union-loving, conservative man. l know
of but two Benton men in Green County, who are
not for Rollins, and they are waiting as prudent
men, and will not vote for Stewart, they say. Fol-
once we have the dead wood on the Antics sure.

And none understood the "fact" better
than the Antics. When Stewart was nom.
inated-about midnight-and was found tc
be "tco much by the head" to accept, there
was strong disposition TO make another
nomination, but the "fact" that if they did
Stewart would run any how, induced them

Ediior ofthe Missouri Statesman: -'v-=
A grent crowd assembled in our village to-day
to hear Rollins and Stewart, the candidates for
Governor, speak. After the speaking was over,
had an opportunity Of mixing with the people
and ascertaining the drift of the public sentiment.
1t univei sal in favor of Rollns-the truth is,
it was conceded that he made one Of the most
powerful and eloquent speeches ever listened TO in
Sauth West Missouri. This was manifest in the
enthusiastic IN amer inwhich his speech was re-
ceived By his facts, his satire, his irony, and his
quick retort, he completely overwhelmed his an
tdgonist He put TO shame, the oft-repeattd cal
jimmy that he was the candidate of the Black Re-
pubcans and of Frank Blair. In reply TO the
charge of Col. Stewart, that he had gone to bed
with Blair, he said that he was not in the habit of
sleeping with men; but 10 tell the TRUTH if it was
compelled to be done, he would as soon sleep with
Frank Blair as with Bob Stewart! His views upon
all the questions which he touched were broad
liberal and statesmanlke, and especially upon the
subject of education, internal improvements and
agrlcultu e, whilst they were sound to the core on
the subject Of Amerlcanism and Slavery--and
highly conservative and patriotic throughout.
never have seen an audience more pleased with
the result Of political discussion, and rest as
sured it will tell on the first Monday IN August
You may set down Polk county as dead sure for
Rollins by handsome majority, thing heretofore
unheard.of in this county.
Yours, &C., PUMLETAIRE.

We learn from authentic sources, that the
State Bank Of Ohio and branches, Is now strong
or than il was some weeks since. There is no
general run upon il for coin, and the notes seem
to be more acceptable than any other. They
are mainly in The hands Of .the people, and arc
pre- efercd, 50 that large amounts are not accumu-
lated by brokers. The State Bank Of Indiana
also stands well among The people Of Ohio

It may De that the Ohio and Indiana Banks
need '-good wordn from the press. II they
give many more instances Of seeking protection
against specie payments by those spontaneous
assembIagcs oethe psople sometimes called mobs,
it will not be long before they will want quite
another sort Of endorsements.
"Should they continue to MAINTAIN specie pay
mentS," indeed That is cool. How it may be
as TO the Ind lana Bands we know not, but most
orthe Ohio Banks have not paid Specie, nor pre-
tended to do so, for weeks. They are in a state
OF suspension 10 all practical intents and purpo-
ses. They neither pay the demands Of the peo-
pie nor OF other brokers, Notes seem to be a
surplusage, for whether they gather TO repel an
onslaught, or stay at home like peaceable men,
the motto of the banks is 'nary red to nary :"

The tilFOugEA-ageRt system ;lnd the
Mails.

The new system Of through mail agents, now
at work between Baltimore and CINCINNATI,
promises to add greatly TO The promptitude and
efficiency of the service and is undoubtedly u
wise measure on the part of The department.
We trust il will be applied to the line between
New York and the West, which is now, and
has been for weeks, popular laughing stock,
and perfect nuisance TO the press and the buSi-
ness community. If the through agent system
does not operate to secure good faith in the rail
roads now having the mail contracts from New
York to Cininnatl, st. Louis and the south west
in general, the department, we are satisfied, ca.
have the lenefit Of competitor, by changing the
route to Philadelphia and The SteuhenviIe and
Indiana road, through Columbus to indianapolis
and St Louis, giving the Cincinnati and more
south westerly mail to the Marietta and Cincin-
natl road. Anything weud be an improvement
to the service aS now performed on the present
New York and Western route. 1t is an utter
mockcry to the public, and tic Administration is
suffering from unusual and universal complaint
for the almost daily default Of the railroads from
Cleveland cast. The delinquent Company fancy
thoy can defy the Government, because their is
no competing route from New York We hope
alJ believe they are mistaken. The alter ton
of the department is being called to the subject,
and we have no doubt they will soon be able TO
find permanent remedy for the abuses with
which nearly the entire west has so long been
cursed, in consequence Of the impndent bad faith
