CALLAo, November q, i


Editor Star and Herald Since my last nothing
Of importance has transpired beyond the passing Of
the act of general Naturalization to all parties no
matter Of whatever party, also full pardon to all
political persons, excepting Louis Lomar; the act only
awaits the Presidents signature to become a law.
The bill authorizing the President to raise 10 600 men
to conduct the war against Ecuador has also passed.
and the recruiting stations have been opened with
little success as yet; the Government will have to re-
sort to CONSUMPTION to raise the necessary number.
The American ships that were seized by the Govern
men at Patallon de Pira, being fitted up as
transports. The Lizzie Thompson has been pieced
for six guns and the Georgaua for two; they are to
convey roopsto Ecuador and the news received from
there by the Cloda is rather dscouraging to the Pc
ruvians; my opnonis that the Government wishesit-
self out of the scrape. 1t is war without any en-.
thusasm whatever on the part OF the Peruvians,
whilst the Ecuadorians are eager for the ARRAY.
A proposition has been brought before the present
Congress- in favor Of selling the guano at the Chineha
Islands, at the rate of thirty dollars per tun to be de-
liyered alongside the ship, and to be sold to any
who may wish to purchase. The above proposition
was referred to committee who have reported favor
ably on the bill. Should the bill pass, it would be a
great blessing to the country, andan immense benefit
to foreign merchants,

cided failure recently recorded. There has been no
winter yet, but in name and it is feared that
Boston will secure but a meagre supply of ice. 1t
by no means follows, however, that because January
is mild February will be mild also. January has
time yet in which to freeze us into good humor

excellent supplies of ice gathered in that month in
this latitude.

must send to Iceland for a supply of the article.
We have listened now and then to cool and cutting
observations, but that is the coolest hit in the way
of wit yet made

To the Editor Of the Union:
DEAR Sir The crops of corn exhibited for pre-
miums this year at our agricultural fair in Pettis
county, Missouri, were remarkable for their yield
that deem it due to my county, to my State. and
10 the country, to give them as reported by the
judges appointed by the association to ascertain the
quantity and award the premiums. The crops
tered for competition those of Samuel B. Scott
and Geo. S. Priest, on Heath's creek, and VIM. Gen.
try, on Muddy creek, in said county The products
of the several crops, reported by the judges and
upon which the award was made are as follows:
5: B. Seotts crop, yield per acre. 24l bushels
w. Gentry's 1876
The corn was all drilled, in rows three feet apart
and raised on upland prairie lands. This is but
specimen of thousands Of acres Of land we have in
the same county, as yet unsettled and uncutvated,
to which We invite the attention of the intelligent
and enterprising farmers Of every State in the I'm.
ion assuring all such who may deem it wisest and
best to cast their lots with that they will meet
with q hearty welcome-a healthy and hapy home

IMPROVEMENT IN THE MONEY MARKET-BETTER

is over-was of the most rapid and extraordi-
nary panlcs the commercial world has ever felt. 1t

sasacity to provide against it; but it came upon

remoest regions Of the East. 1t was fast panic,
and therefore in entire keeping with this fast age
we are gratified 10 observe what we consider

market and of better times. Cotton had advanced

81 Ma!contents in parties, and persons seeking

Macontents in parties, and persons seeking
selfish ends, never without excuses for their
conduct. The country is always well supplied with
patriots ready to ito take office n ea,,i-
flee of private interest, and to live the public,
while they would have the public believe that it ex-
lists and speaks o"ly through them. The world, we
apprehend, has grown no better in this respect
The millennium Of political integrity, of abnegation
of self, of pure minded and singleminded dev otion
to the peoples welfare, has not yet arrived. The
people know thls and they are not as easily hood
winked and deceived as certain malcontents and
spostates may suppose. The Democratic people es-
pecially have certain tests of fidelity by which they
try all from the humbest to the most distinguished,
in their ranks; and this test is first PRINCIPLES.
and secondly, ORGANIzAT1oN A public man-one
who expects promotion at their hands, must hold
all their principles, and he must submit to their
ganization. He cannot hope to serve them, or to
obtain honors at their hands, and at the same time
substitute his will for theirs. This is so in the very
nature of things. Reason and common sense have
settled it in both Church and State, and it is right
Lawful, regular custom sanctioned party authority
must be obeyed. There is appeal from it but to
other party for the history of parties in this
country and in this State furnishes no example of
successful revolt against opposition to, regular
party organization. The rebel parts with all claim
to recognition and promotion the instant he erects
his standard of revolt 1t makes no difference what
he may think of it or say about it. Some people
think the world does not turn over but that the
goes all round it to give it light; yet the world
wolves nevertheless, paying no attention to what
some people think. 1t is just with the old Demo-
cratic party. Some people desert Its principles and
denounce its organization, declaring all the while
they good Democrats and in the party; yet this
does not alter the fact that they outside the
party, rebels and disorganzers The country is
free country, it is true, and such persons have
right therefore, to round the party from which
they have thus excluded themselves, and beat up
for deserters; but if misery loves company COM
2any which is already comfortable is not apt to love
msery,-and so deserters in such cases are always
few and feeble.

personal appearance:
fwere hard to tell from an examination of his
lace what kind Of man VIM. Walker is. Your
first impression is, that he is of generous and be-
nevoIent nature but, closer scrutiny, you fancy
you can detect cold temperament and most deter.
mined disposition. This impression however, is not
decided one, and you become completely at loss
what to think In stature he is low and his figure is
shgnt' out symmetrIcally moulded; his eye is Of
light grey, bright and restless; his forehead and
