LAST CHANCE TO SEE THE SHow.-As there
is no probability of the debate between Kirk
wood and Dodge being continued after the
18th, number of our citizens, determined
not be cheated out of sight, will 60 to Mt
Pleasant on Thursday and see the show. As
it is impossible to know just when and where
Gen. Dodge will take his tragic attitudes, il
will not do for us to promise too much. But
this much we can say, if he does get on his
seven-leagued boots and draw his linen, the
performance will be worth seeingl 1t will
be worth travelling over corduroy road in q

Intelligence from Oonstantinople announ
ees the total destruction of the city of Err
xeroum by earthquakes. Erzeroum was the
principal city Of Armenia, in Asiatic Turkey,
capital of q pashalic Of the same name, in q
plain ON the, Kara 500, or west branch Of
the Euphrates, 100 miles southeast of Treb-
ixond and l55 miles west OF Mount Ararat.
The population before the Russian invasion
in 1880 was estimated at loo, 900, but in 1874
it was only 10000; it was hewsver regu-
larry increasing. The principal buildings
were the Armenian and Greek churches and
schools, about forty mosques, large Gus
tom house, and numerous khans or caravan
saries. Erzeroum had an extensive trade
with all the adjacent countries, and was
chief hating station for caravans going to
Mecca from Teheran.

W-One of the best things in the discus
sion between Dodge and Kirkwood, at this
place, Tuesday, was the latters rejoinder to
the attack Of Gen. Dodge upon the Republican
Legislature, for appointing Hon. James Thor
ington an agent to attend to our Swamp Land
interests ut Washington. Mr.. Kirkwood
revealed the fact that the bill under which Mr..
Thorington was appointed was drawn up and
presented to the Legislature by Henry Alt
man, Esq, of this place, leading Democrat,
and now member of the Democratic State
Executive Committee, and that it was engi.
neersd through both Houses by Mr.. Patterson,
the Democratic Senator from this county, all
the Democrats in the House and two thirds
of them in the Senate voting for it with an
understanding that Mr.. Altman was to be the
appointee! Messrs. Altman and Patterson
were both present, but had not a word to say
in relation to the matter.

How TREY EXPECT TO Fool THEM The
Democrats seem to think that any sort of a
lie will do to ''cram down the throat of,
what they call, a "Dutchmsn." They imag.
inc that persons OF that language are intel
lcctualiy disqualified to investigate facts or
figures, and, therefore, scruple at no asser-
ton that promises to weaken the confidence
of the Germans in the only party that reflects
their principles and invites them to share in
the honors, as we'll as the duties. of citizen
ship. The Enquirer of last week attempts
to palm of edi,orially the following, which
has the double vice of being neither original
nor true:
The fate of Mr.. Schurtz in Wisconsin ought
to be warning to Mr. Rusch. Some two OF
three years ago, Mr.. Schurtz was the Repub.
lican nominee for Lieutenant Governor OF
Wisconsin What was the result? The whole
Republican ticket, save Schurtz, was elect
ed! lie was defeated-how By Repub.
iicans refusing to vote for him
Out of nine State offices in tho canvass Of
'57 in Wisconsin (when Schurtz was before
the people for Lieut.. Goyernor) the party to
which he belonged elected but four. Con
sideripg the fact that Randall was elected
Governor by only ,19 majority, the defeat
of schurtz by 200. in vote Of nearly 10,
900, may be set down as rather encouraging
to Mr.. Rusch. The rest of the defeated
Republican candidates were, so far as we
know, Americans, and of that number the
Secretary of State was beaten by $500
How will the War Eagle account for that :
As further indication of the swelling
proportions of this canard, it need only be
remembered that the Senate of Wisconsin
in 1857 stood IL Democrats to Is Republic
ans. How they will lie!

GVA correspondent Of tho St. Louis
Democrat writes from Gentry county, Mis-
souri,, that that county can furnish more
Elnanc:pationists than any other north of
the Missouri, and that in the course of Eve
years they can elect their candidate with
ease. Three years ago no one dared utter a
word in opposition to Slavery now it
is boldly denounced as the greatest of
curses. There are not more than two or
three huuIred slaves in the whole county,
which is almost as large as the State Of
Rhode Island.

~When we say that, in the discussion
Tuesday, Mr.. Kirkwood fused up" Gen.
Dodge, we but give the verdict of every
unprejudiced man present. Our Democratic
friends do not pretend to deny that Mr.. Kirk.
wood is the better speaker. They hang their
heads in silent shame. For ourself, we must
confess that we were surprised at the result.
We had read many accounts Of the auoust
Ambassador getting worsted in debate with
Mr.. Kirkwood, but were not prepared to see
him so completely discomfitted as on this
occasion. Sometimes we felt that Mr.. Kirk.
wood was too severe on poor Dodge, though
his remarks were exempt from anything to-
give personal offense. Both candidates con.
Quoted themselves in a gentlemanly manner
throughout the discussion, albeit Dodge was
at times somewhat excited, and evidently
restrained himself with difficulty from one Of
his wonted outbursts Of passion. The dis.
cussion has made many votes for the Repub
lican ticket at this place.
