DEAR BnrRE :--lf IL Is an admitted ptopo.
sition that We are controlled in our feelings by
the weather, then surely we ought TO be all
the happiest creatures out Of Paradise, Never
did the genial month, which aye Ancient
bards, and the modern A. uds and Vioals's
have SO POLITICALLY Apostro ,,4ized, shed more
benefcent beauty over nature, than at the pres.
ent writing, The woods are clothed in the
densest garb Of foliage, and thanks to the wis
dom Of our Legislators. are alive with the songs
Of birds
The crops are growing rapidly, while the
newly planted corn is just shooting its tiny BIZ
furcsted top above the ground. The herds Of
cattle are browsing in the deep, rich grass,
which covers the fertile bottoms, aud stretches
out upon the receding hills that border the
lovely valley Of White Water. Peace, plenty
and contentment, with honest toll rule supreme
here, and Rsselas would think himself at home
once more IL he should arrive n our midst.
The news are unimportant here, and at the
present time, politics are out of the question
The farmers seize their papers eagerly and
open at the Farming Department, which be-
ing carefully read. they cast their eye over the
rest Of the sheet hurriedly. The other classes
Of citizens search for war news, and we all
wonder how a thought Of blood, carnage and
commotion could enter the brain of people
who inhabit a valley as beautiful as our own.
But the cry is liberty,--the watchword of ages
past, aud the talisman Of ages to come. Aus
trian domination has seen its day in Italy
The tide Of war once more surges and rolls
against the impregnable Alps. Shall II be,
that the current Of invasion started northward
by the first Napoleon, will be completely petfec
ted by his Nephew and successors2 ..
Since the great barbarian invasion Of Italy,
she has been subject to foreign rule Has the
time now arrived when she shall shake it of,
and all the beautiful peninsula be united In one
nation, with Rome as the CapitolP Victor
Emanual dreams it and the heart Of all Italy
is with him. But will she shake from her
limbs the shackles of Austria to receive those
of France; think not. The known policy of
the Bonapsrte family is opposed to the armed
control Of Nations, aud recognizes the consent
Of the governed as the secret Of power. How.
ever, the same TINE who has crumbled dy e.
nasties and powers before his consuming
path, will eventually ''set all things even"
Should the nalions Of Europe Become en-.
gagged in the conflict it is Beyond a doubt that
our policy and interest are in strict neutrali'
ty. From our immense garners we can supply
the nations with food. and give to the suffer,
ers who may seek our peaceful shores
home, and peace. Yours,

New Books.


Among the many new and valuable books
that are published in this country, by our enter,
prising publishing men, isthe "New American
Cyclopedia." a popular dictionary OF general
knowledge.
This work is a decided improvement on the
"Encyclopedia Americana" in its style, and
far superior in every other respect. The ad
Vancements in the arts and sciences, the dis
cOveries that have been made In the last hall
century, the numerous changes, improvements
and inventions, increase and vary so many old
things, that this work is rendered almost indis
penssble.
The compIlers contemplate making it fif.
teen volume work. 1t has now advanced TO its
fifth volume. and the style, character, and use
fulness Of the work may be judged by volumes
already issued each containing seven hundred
and fifty pages, borgeois type, substantially
bound. The whole arrangement is superior TO
anything Of the kind ever offered to the public
being complete library in itself both in size,
and contents, and when completed will be the
best and most perfect literary enterprise of the
age. .-t- I

A RISING IN HUNoARY.--A paris corres-

The Cincinnati Enquirer remarks upon
this If the Hungarians allow the present
opportunity to pass by without asserting their
independence, when Austria is engaged in
Italy, and when Louis Napoleon is prepared
to back them with the armies Of France, it
will be proof positive that the sympathy e1~
pended for them in this country in 1851,
when Kossuth was here, was undeserved

My attention has been called to a com
munication, in the Statesman, recommending
the nomination by the Democratic State
Convention Of Hon. James NJ. Hunt, of
CLARK County, for Secretary Of State. The
writer Of this having known Mr.. Hunt in
timately for several years, can truly say that
no better selection could be made. He is a
thorough Democrat, and eminently qualified
for the position Another strong argument
in his favor is his location-living, as he
does, in a section Of country where the Dem.
ocratic party is largely in the minority, and
can not, therefore, be properly represented
at the State Capital. IL would be- in my
opinion, but just on the part Of the oonven,
