Enlightened Postmasters-InL Luck.
North MADISON. IND. DC. 3O. I85

NORTH MADISON, IND, Dec. 80, 1857.
Messrs Neill and Richardson refuse to renew,
because the postmaster of Sanjacinto lets their
papers lie week in Dupont before he goes for
them and, as he can scarcely read writing, he
sometimes says these papers are not come,
when they are lying in the post Office, ara that
their papers were often two weeks old before
they received them.
Your paper of the 18th ultimo gave Mr..
Douglass speech. 1 was delighted with it, be-
cause he acknowledged the Kansas Border
Rufian frauds. Senator Douglas, and all the
oldline speakers. during the canvass, kept
harping on the Kansas lies, fabricated, they
said, by the Black Republicans, for the purpose
of making political capital out of. The major
ity of the old liners believed them, as they only
read one side, and such papers as the N. Y.
Day Book. There was club for that paper
in this neghborhood. The same parties are
now taking the Cincinnati Enquirer-ap i'm
provement.
The last week in November was uncommon.

rainy, warm weather, which is rotting a great

the cut-worms cut down a field of % acres, and
the replant was spoiled by the FROST But
have got from my neighbor, J. Galloway, all

could raise it; and luck again. don't require
much, as the disease killed all my stock or store

to sell or buy, you need not suspect me of
croaking about rotten corn. 1t is in everybody's
mouth. JIG.
