Political.

John c. Wyman, Esq, formerly of this city,
has been nominated by the republican COM
mittee for the vacant Office of register of deeds
for Suffolk county. The election takes place
on Monday next. There was much strife for
the place, and of course much feeling but the
lot fell with discretion to Mr.. Wyman, who
"takes to figgers" kindly, and if chosen will
make competent officer
The present political canvass in Connecticut
is the warmest and most active that has taken
place there for years. The republicans worl.
like men in earnest, and it is our opinion that
the democrats will have defeat that will take
the spirit out of them for years
The Norwich Bulletin has found a rich sub.
ject in one Lucius H. Richard, whom the dem.
ocrats have introduced to the people of Con-
nectcut as "Col. Richard of Dubuque Iowa.
who has fought the battles of democracy on
the western prairies," and whom they are in
fair way to become ashamed of. Our friend
of the Bulletin may learn something more of
this Richard by inquiring in West Kilingly.
Among the republican speakers now in Con-
necticut are Tom Corwin, and Fred. P. Stan
ton Of Kansas. The democrats are about IN
have the services of Roger A. Pryor of Vir-
ginia, and S. S. Cox of Ohio
The recent indications are that Douglas will
be utterly crushed out at Charleston, and that
the convention will finally nominate for presi-
dent, Senator Hunter of Virginia. His princi-
pal competitor will be Jefferson Davis of Mis-
sissippi, who will be defeated by the Douglas
influence. 1t is stated that the Georgia dele
gates are really for Mr.. Hunter and also, that
eff Mr.. Hunter be selected, the Cincinnati
platform, pure and simple, will be adopted, the
South being content with that and her candi-

Letter from nammonton, n. j.

HAMMoNToN, n. j., March 5, 1860.
Mr. Editor This town is situated twenty -eght
miles from Philadelphia, on the Camden and At
lantic Railroad. This road connects Philadelphia
with Atlantic City, which lies ON the coast between
Little and Great Egg Harbor and is a resort for in
valids and pleasure-seekers. During the warm
weather well filed trains are constantly passing up
and down the road. This tract consists of some
thousands of acres of land, with fine rolling sur
face, the soil being light sandy loan, with a hard
gravelly subsoil, capable of being brought to high
state of cultivation with much less labor than our
New England soil. The climate is mild and healthy.
The water is soft, pure, and abundant The ground
is now dry and warm the shrubs putting forth
their green leaves the flower buds bursting forth and
show the coming of summer
Farmers here are busy blowing and putting in
their crops grubbng out stumps, and otherwise pre-
pairing the grounds. In this region corn and pota-
toes yield good crops The sweet potato grows well
here and yields well any place farther south
This tract was once owned by Charlotte Cush-
man, the actress, who bought it a safe investment
for her funds and sold it to the present proprietors
And the agents selling it to settlers in lots
of from one acre to two hundred acres. Every set
tier who builds house is entitled to free ticket ON
the railroad TO and from Philadelphia for six
months, ana half price ticket Tor three years.
am informed that more than four hundred and fifty
fthese tickets have already been given out. The
fare to Philadelphia is ninety cents.
The population principally farmers, not settled
in compact village but scattered the thousands
of acres extending back from the railroad three or
four miles There is building at the station with
steam engine i'll order for running, with tools fitted
up for doing just such work the carpenters want
for building houses.
Hammonton is in the township of Mullica, Allan
tic County and at present unncorporated but APP
plication is to be made to the legislature for
that purpose so that in the heart" of the southern
part of Jersey" there will be essentially a
New England town. with its thrift its schools its
churches, its agricultural societies and everything
that makes home pleasant The occupants of the
land are setting out fruit trees of all kinds and the
ground is in good order to receive them. The mag
nolia is found in abundance, and soon the all per
vading fragrance fits blossom will fill the air All
those who would change the dusty workshop or the
busy city for the quiet of the farmers life would do
well to come here and look for themselves before
going to the far west. A MECHANIC.

! and gouging." The "higher tone" was taken
for granted; and now, those who assumed it,
use such ugly terms as ''swindling" to express
their anger. The likelihood is that provisions
will be very cheap at Charleston, during the
latter part of April. A very large proportion
OF the delegates are now arranging to go
to Charleston in steam vessels and live on
board while there. Two steamers have
been engaged in New York, one in
Boston, Que in Philadelphia, one in Richmond,
and one in Savannah. Probably one will also
go from New Orleans and one from Mobile.

enormous prices for board will be inflicted
chiefly on "the visitors from the west ana

papers. are not wanted there.
