To EDTORs:-Our Editorial brethren throughout
the country. will confer favor upon the estimable
family of a printer named Gilbert X. Lyman (who
about three weeks ago left his home in Po'keepsie
in a state of entail aberration) by giving publicity
to this notice.
Mr.. Lyman has been much distressed for some time
on account of the uncertainty concerning the fate
OF his son, William Lyman "a young man about nine
teen years of age, who has been for three or four
years engaged in the pursuit Of photographic re-
porter.
The son was last heard from at Vicksburg, Miss,
when he was preparing for a visit home 1t is sup
posed that his father in his partially deranged
dtOn, has gone in search of his son, but clue to
his direction has vet been obtained.
Mr.. Lyman is a slender man, about five feet nine
inches in height, black hair and eyes his whiskers
somewhat gray, and the top of his head the scar
of a recently removed wen. He had on a black
suit, dark brown OverCOat and fur gloves, on the
evening when he disappeared.
Any information of Mr.. Lyman or his son, will
be gratefully received by his family at Poughkeepse,
Duchess county \. Y

Goldman presented his petition to the County
Court of Granger at its July session, 1859 to change
| the road leading from "Rutedge by way of the
mouth Of Buffalo, Ore Ferry from a second to a
first class road upon the ground that 1t had become
4 stage road. and that the United States mail was
then and had for some time been carried over It. in
! two horse stages
The Court refused the application, andh appealed
to the Circuit Court where his appeal was dismissed
without investigation OF the merits OF the appLca-
ton. upon the ground that the petitioner Tor road
had no right to an appeal.
II is suDposcd that the right of appeal is given to
the petitioner by the code, ll9l. This Is confined
to the parties interested Or aggreyed II does not
embrace every citizen of the county, but only ap-
niles TO such as are peculiarly concerned on account
OF some special interest in the matter not common
to others. This not controversy relauVe 70
the LrJiag off, disseminating, or establishing pubic
road " in the language of the section referred TO-
and in which the appeal is given. But II II were
who may appeal: person interested or aSsrleY-
ed. The petitioner has no interest above any
other citizen. He is only the intormer, or relator,
and barely brings the matter to the notice OF the
Court for Its consideration. This does not make
ilm party or invest him with any interest III the
matter above others
The principle settled in the case of Carey vs. JUS
tees of Campbcll county, Sneed SIS, settles this
case against the appellant
But upon the merits perhaps the same result
would follow, as, If it be matter Of discretion
III NHe county court 10 classify the roads OF the cOuu-
ty or not which Is probably the case. There was no
necessity to act upon the petition at all as the law
sec, llS3 Of the Code provides that stage roads"
are in the first class To place other than stage roads
in that class requires the action of the court But
by section ISL, if the court fail or refuse to class
the roads of its county they shall be worked on and
kept in the manner prescribed for roads in the first
class. So this ground the petitioner had no in
teres in the matter, because by the refusal he gain
ed what he desired and indeed the previous failure
to do what his petition required had by operation of
this section, placed this road in the first class and

WHY did the Democratic party distract the country
and build up the Republican party byahe repeal OF

repeal boon 10 the South :-BmuGr.
As we have never been very fortunate in giving
such reasons for the course pursued by the Demo

respectfully suggest that that journal call upon It's

COPPER for the reasons that induced him to assist

can pqrfl 5y the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise,
pretending to offer ia that repeal boon to DE South
Genl Zo1LICoFFER was then and is yet one Of the
most potent members of the BEmaS party. There
were several other Southern Opposition members
who voted with Genl ZoLLICorFEE for the repeal
TO whom the Banner might also extend its inferno
patory It is probable that Gen'l ZoIILcOFFER may
think that the Baruer by str egu0asy supporting him
t9ic for Congress after he spoke for and cosd for the
rspeql Of the Missouri Compromise line is estopped
from iuterrogating MIN upon this point

The INSTRUMENTATION.


ing counties embracing Robertson and Montgom-
cry, in Tennessee, ard Christian, Todd and Logan,
in Kentucky, and their reports are uniform in re-
gard to the condition of the wheat crop. 1t is not
possible that there be One-haf average crop,
and many intelligent men who have had OppOrtuni-
ties for observation think that not oneourth of an
average crop will be secured. Many farmers VIII
have difficulty IN getting enough for seed. We have
ourselves noticed the wheat fields along the line of
Railroad for fifteen miles from this place, and there
but single field that is not almost total fail
Ure. Our farmers will have to make up for this de-
iciency Of theiwheat with extra crops Of oats and
corn.
The Winchester Home Journal of the 9Th says
Though peaches are greatly damaged, yet we do not
think the entire crop is destroyed in this county,
and if no more frosts visit US, we shall enjoy the
delicious luxury to considerable extent. Reports
about wheat more cheering also. and on the
whole, times do not portend half as much evil as
some CrOakers stated.
The Somerville Times of the eth says: We un-
derstand that unless Jack Frost or some other dire
calamity should visit the peach orchards, the pros
pect is good Tor a full crop.
The Columbia Herald Of the eth says: We do not
think the fruit crop of Maury Is very materially in
iured If at all, and We are glad the prospect at
present bids fair for a rich crop.
The Jackson Wig Of the 9th says The weather
Is warm and pleasant and our farmers are busily
engaged in planting. So far the late frOsts have
done but little injury, and the fruit crop bids fair
10 be abundant.
The Morristown htsliga,cer Of the 9TH says The
prospect for good Wheat crop in Southwestern
Virginia Is very gloomy. From the observation
which we have been able to make, we are of the
opinion there viii not be over half yield this year.
At the opening Of the spring the prospect more
unpromising than even now-t looks much better
than it did month ago.
The Marietta lGa) Salesman of the 9th says: We
are gratifed % learn that the wheat crop Is much
better than has been anticipated. Many say that
their wheat is very good and promises an abundant
yield We are seriously Of opinion that many Of our
planters like political demagOgues, take advantage
Of the apparent crisis, and cry out 'rJ when there
is no danger.
The Cloverport (ky) Journal says: We have been
talking with several of our farmers and they tell us
that the wheat crop is injured some, but with warm
rains there viii be over half crop raised, though
some of it is injured very much.
The Oxford (AIiss) Mercury of the 9TH says: The
frosts last week, while they killed many peaches,
left a sufficient number untouched for a fine crop.
If we have no more cold weather the yield will be
abundant.

Indian Outrnges in Arizona.

A letter from Tubac, Arizona, March IG, to the
ST. Louis Republican, gives accounts of still further
Outrages by Indians:
Eight horses were stolen from the Santa Rita Sill
ver-mining Company on the 18th inst Intelligence
was sent in this afternoon by express rider that
an American and little girl had been stolen
by the Indians from the pnery thirty miles distant
and carried into captivity. The woman is daugh-
ter Of one of the oldest settlers, and was married
not more than two months since to a lumbcrman in
the pinery This is the first instance have had to
record Of captives being taken by the Indians. 1t
is doubtless designed a retaliatOry measure be-
cause of the detention Fort Buchanan of the cap
tlEes taken during the camEaign Of last fall.
