AT THEIR OLD TRIoKs.-The honest Jem-
ocracy are charging in certain parts of the
State, as we learn by private letters, that
Senator Rusch, the Republican candidate
for 1t. Governor, is Catholic, and endeav-
oring to make capital off the the charge.
That is pretty good for these particular
Know Nothing haters for those chaps who
pretend to hate the Know Nothings more
for their reputation of Catholics than any
thing else. We do not know that it makes
any difference whether Senator Rusch is
Catholic or not, or whether it is anybody's
business, but it is due him in view Of this
Democratic attempt to make little politi-
cal capital, to say he is not Catholic. Our
Democratic friends seem hard pushed about
these times.-Dap. Gnxefte.

THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.-"Occasional
writes as follows, on this subject, to the
Philadelphia Press:
II wish those verdant politicians who are
constantly declaring that there is no serious
purpose to reopen the African slave trade
could be here in Washington, and hear the
Texan politicians talking on this subject A
very large portion Of these men are in favor
of the re-opening of the African slave trade,
and this issue enters so extensively into the
canvass for Governor, and for members of
Congress, to be decided in few weeks, in
that State, that everything else seems to be
lost sight Of If you will pick up the Texas
papers now, you will find arguments pro and
con on this issue that will almost lead you to
believe you are reading Northern journals.
The truth is, the EXTREMIST anti-slavery senti-
ment has been taken on the plank by the
Germans, who are colonized in Texas in vast
numbers, and who will insist at all hazards
against everything like re-opcning of the
African slave trade. They feel that the
introduction of barbarous negroes into the
fair and fertile fields of region recovered
from Mexican military misrule by white men,
and which they, the Germans, are rapidly
giving to civilization, is neither more nor less
than an insult to them, and an outrage upon
the sentiment of Christendom ;. and it is a
little curious to see how they have taken the
starch out of the fire-eaters'

TENxEssEE.-Hon. John Bell writes to his
political friends in Washington that the
Opposition will carry Tennessee in whirl-
wind of enthusiasm. Nothing like it has
been known since the famous Harrison cam
paign of 1910. 1t is expected Netherland
will be elected Governor by from five to ten
thousand majority, and that the opponents of
the Democracy will return eight of the eleven
members of Congress.
This cheering intelligence inspires cores
ponding hopes relative to the canvass in
Kentucky.

tTLet Mr.. Dodge continue in office. If
the people have kept him there twenty years,
most surely they must consider him good
man, and he will undoubtedly make an excel
lent Governor Democrat.
Unfortunately for the logic of the above,
the premises are incorrect. "The people"
have had nothing to do with keeping Gen.
Dodge in Office lie has held all his highly
remunerative Offices either by Executive
appointment or by log-rolling in the Legisla-
ture. "The people" will pass on his merits
next October for the first time, and their
verdict will be to let him stay out of office.

July 28th '59 County Judge

10 OUR EASTERN READERs.-It being now
settled beyond dispute that rich deposits OF
gold exist throughout great extent of coun.
try, embracing the mountain region and the
plains adjacent thereto, on the head waters
OF the Plates, Arkansas, and Colorado riv-
ers, persons DESTROYS If trying their for
tunes in the new Eldorado, can now safely
begin to make their calculations how to act.
Our advice to people in the States is to
remain where they are until Dext Spring, and
for the FLOWING reasons:-It now is near
July, the discoveries of the past two weeks
will not be known to you until the middle of
that month. Should you then begin your
preparations but lew can be upon the road
before the middle of August; then, giving
six weeks to make the journey, brings US to
the first OF October. Operations must gen
orally cease in the mountains in the latter
part of that month, and few who arrive after
September can reasonably expect to find
rich claim in that time. Then follows six
months in which but little can be done, and
the exp nse of living is necessarily great
where all kinds Of supplies have to be trans
ported several hundred miles overland.
Our advice is to remain at home until
April next, starting in time to reach this
point by the 10th of May, ut which time the
mountains can be entered and six months
operations commenced to advantage. In
any event-come when you may, in Fall or
Spring-by all means bring all the provis-
ions you Can, at least six months supply if
possible Rocky Mountain Neaos, June Is.

DECLINE OF WHEAT GRowlNa.-At late
meeting of the Pennsylvania Agricultural
Society, Dr.. Alvin called attention to the
interesting fact that there was a decline in
the yield of wheat, to the acre, in the
grain States. In Ohio, State but little
over fifty years old, the crop has fallen off
from forty bushels to the acre to about
sixteen; while in the best portions of New
York, where thirty bushels used to he con-
sidered fair crop, only twelve bushels are
now raised. The falling off in other States
has been equally marked; but while this
was the fact with the wheat crops, he was
glad to know that the amount of corn pro.
duced to the acre had largely increased,
and was still Increasing enormously.

decisions of the Supreme Courts not an
affair dating from the Lecompton Constitution

was as follows:
'He BROWN had it from the Presidents

eighty was one of the most damnable heresies
that was ever preached in this or any other
country, and that he would leave nothing

by mob at,Marshall, Saline county, Mo-, on
the 18th inst, and one was burned to death
at the stake and the others hung. The negro
who was burned murdered a man named
Hinton some time ago; one of those hung
had committed an outrage on respectable
white girl, and the other had attempted the
life of citizen. The sight of the burning
negro was horrible. His frantic shrieks and
appeals for mercy seemed to awaken but
little sympathy in the crowd. 81.

FALL WnEAr- When to Sou it.-The
Washington Press copies our suggestions to
the farmers concerning raising Fall wheat,
with remarks of its own as follows:
We think the farmers of Iowa might prof
itably pay more attention to raising Fall or
Winter wheat. With careful culture. we are
inclined to believe that it might be rendered
a far more certain crop than it is generally
regarded One great cause of the failure Of
this crop is the lightness of our soil and the
lack of snow during Winter to protect it.
We once heard suggestion from an old
farmer which We think might in some degree
remedy these evils. 1t is this Sow with the
wheat one or two bushel Of oats. The latter
will grow and form thick mat over it be-
fore frost, and remain during the Winter as
protection to the wheat plants. We do not
know whether any of our formers have ever
tried this experiment or not. If not, We
should be glad to hear of its being done and
the result. ....
The Prairie Farmer says Fab wheat
should be sown in this region in the latter
part of August or fore part of Sept ember,
as it is then less likely to winter-kill.

1sHE CoMPETENT?-We see by an exchange
that more than three tourths of the cases
appealed from Judge Wilson's Court, in
Dubuque, have been reversed. And this
same Wilson is the man whom the Democracy
Of Iowa wish to place upon the Supreme
Bench of the State. We are not disposed to
believe that the people of Iowa have any par
ticular desire to place upon the Supreme
Bench man whose decisions have been so
uniformly overruled. On the presumption
that the above is true, we have in johnson
county dozen Justices of the Peace who are
better qualified to sit on the Supreme Bench
than this Dubuque nominee of the Democracy.
