wool in Rrooke countr.

Wool continues to come in in considcra-
BILE quantities, most of it for immediate
shipment East, some of it for storage here
until needed by the purchasers. One clip
of 1880 lbs. brought Coo. per h., partly
on six months time. and is now delivered
and on storage, insured against fire. 9th
er heavy and fine clips are still held by
the producers for the highest figures in the
market. The great bulk of the wool has
been disposed of at an average of about
soc. per h., very little sold in this county
for less than that, and not q great deal yet
for more. The clips unsold will bring 65
to 10 cents per ID. We intend, when the
season closes, to publish an exhibit of the
! aggregate of the wool trade at this place.
| and, it practicable, the weight and prices
paid for different clips IFetLsburg Herald
Concerning the harvest prospects in
that neighborhood, the Herald remarks:
rne wheat has been about all cut and
| put up in first rate order, and the crop is
believed to be unexceptionable in quantity
and quality; the hay crop has been gener-
! ally harvested and the last few days of
/ dry weather have been exceedingly favor
able for such operations, though rather
droWthy for the pasture fields and perhaps
for the corn. The oats crop is about fit to
cut and will be an excellent one. In the
/ course of another week from to-day the
/ harvest will be about over and the farm
ers may thank Providence, and not their
own deserts for one OF the most bountiful
ones with which they have been blessed
for many years.

WE have received catalogues of Wash

the former numbering 20 pages and the
latter 80. Washington College counts in

from Pennsylvania, and large number
from Washington county. Bethany counts
l24, and of these Kentucky furnishes the

each college is the same, and the course OF
instruction quite similar.
With the Bethany catalogue we have
received beautiful colored Autograph of

Messrs. Middleton & Stockridge, of Gin

of architecture known as the Collegiate

building in the country.
These two colleges, together with JEFF

needed educational facilities to this sec
ton of country, and ought, in genera
ton or two, to make the upper Ohio Val

A LETTER from Occoquan, Prince Will
liam county, yesterday, says: ''we raised
pole 90 feet high, on the 4th of July,
with a Gag bearing the names of Lincoln
and Hamliu streaming from its top. There
are many threats to cut it down, and
plenty of wills are good to do so, only
their spirits fail them. We are determined
10 stand by it and give a wsrm welcome
to whoever undertakes cutting it down.
l think We have gained about ten per cent
in this county, within a short time.
should have told you that at the raising
of our pole we had Republican speech
made and the Declaration of independence
read"
The letter of our correspondent indicates
that Prince William county promises, ere
long, to be the banner Republican county
Of the State. The Panhandle will have to

such war-whoop raised for Breckinridge
as has not been heard by her mountains

were all for him. Breckenridge was an

Douglas has no strength except in ten
counties. The KentuckiAns believe largely
in the luck of Breckenridge. They believe
that he.was born to be President, and that
something, they do not know exactly what,
will turn up to elect him this time. 1t
will take something, and considerable of it
too, to elect him.

THE Amozonian feat of cowhiding ply

among the ladies of Brooklyn. N. Y. A
doctor is alleged to have "insulted lady"
the lady provides herself with a raw hide,
and tiagellates the reputed offender in the
public street. A very respectable lady
thus amused herself with physician in
Myrtle avenue. the other day, after which
her husband knocked the doctor down,
kicked him, and paid twenty dollars for
the satisfaction, in obedience to the COM
m"nd of Judge Cornwcll, who, VIC trust,
soberly examined the question before he

Correspondence of the In,slIseneer.I
Union Ratification Meeting.
BALTIHoRE Julv l9.

BALTIMORE, July l9, 1860.
WeeSrS Editor8:-The meeting called for
the ratification of the Bell and Everett
nomination: came off last evening, in
Monument square. The decorations were
certainly the most beautiful and brilliant
that have ever been erected in the square.
The speakers stand was truly magnificent.
AT O'Clock there were not less than
fifteen thousand persons present. The
meeting was called 10 order at twenty
minutes past eight by G. W. Herring, who
announced the Hon Thos: Swami, az the
presiding officer for the evening. At the
mention of his name, the applause was
almost deafening. The long list of Vice
Presidents and Secretaries was then an
nounced and received with much favor
The immense mass having approved the
officers, Mr.. Herring introduced Mr.. Swami
who addressed the meeting for fifty min
Gtes, making the. happiest effort of his
life, which was received with the most
unbounded applause.
Upon the conclusion Of Mr.. Swann's adj
dress, the American Glee Club, with fifty
fine voices, sung the Union song, as com
posed by VIM. II. Hayward; at the conclu-
sion of which the Blues band struck up
the ;'War-path, with decided effect. The
following gentlemen occupied the balance

iourned with great enthusiastic cheering,
and was certainly the meeting of the sea-
sou.
have been informed this morning by
good authority, that request from the
friends Of the Hon. Henry Winter Davis
for that gentleman to address the meeting
was refused. If this be the case, and be-
comes known, it will create loss of FIVE
thousand votes to the Union party, which
will never be given to the Democracy.
Madam Rumor informs US that we will
see in a few days a paper with the Rcpub-
lican banner at its head. The electoral
ticket of the Republican party of this
State, am inclined to think, is au unfortu-
nate one, but at the same time think it
will command many more votes than is
generally supposed.
The western part of our city has been
in great excitement for the past few days,
/ caused by an assault upon Mr.. Roberts
by Mr.. Merrill, growing out of an insult
offered Miss NJ. by Mr. Roberts. The mat
ter comes up before Judge Bond and will
| offer very interesting trial.

TIE Indianapolis Journal goes wild over
the break down and fizzle of the great
State Douglas gathering (that was to have
beenJ in that city, on Wednesday last:
Listen at it:
We knew it. We said so weeks ago.
The eclipse still retains its bancful influ-
ence. Its portent of disaster has been full
filed with melancholy completeness. The
Grand Douglas State Ratification Conven-
ton in this city yesterday, was most alb
solute, entire and perfect failure. We.have
seen IL conaagration blazing along the sky
dwindle to a log heap. We have seen an
audience electrified with a crashing thnn-
der, and seen the sheet-iron that made it.
We have seen the swelling praises of 1.-THE
Great American orator." and seen Cover
nor Willard. But we never saw any SYM
boil of failure, any expression of anti-cli-
max, any contrast between promise and
performance, that would convey an adc-
quate idea of the failure of the crowd
yesterday to reach the grand demonstra-
ton promised by the Douglas party.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, however, puts another face
on it, and says:
1t must be said, in fairness, that the size
of this demonstration does not furnish an
index to the strength of the Douglas ticket
in Indiana. Tho appointment was made
too early in the season, in order to take the
wind out of the Breckenridge movement,
and the farmers being very busy, the Dem
ocrntic masses did not come.
Come or no come, however we very
much fear that such break DOWNS fatal.
1t is hard for the waning fortunes of a
man to stand up under such sorry COM
mencement, and we think it may fairly be
said that by this collapse, the last nails in
the Douglas coffin have been clinchcd. It
appearing to the rest of the United States
that Mr.. Douglas is not supported in his
stronghold, the efforts for him in other
parts will gradually abate, and in less
than sixty days, we confidently expect to
see him left without even the vestige of
strength in any school district of the North
or South.
