A TROUBLED MAN-The ates seem to be
against Douglas with "a vengeance. Amidst
the unpleasant action of the Charleston Con-
vention, and the terrible war which his party
leaders are making upon him, he is seized with
Il severe affection Of his throat, which is con6n-
ing him to his house, during which his daugh-
ter dies, and the tornado unrools his mansion,
completely drenching and spelling its itch car
pets, furniture and finish.

The Rutland Courier don't like the remark
of the Freeman, that Douglas was to be execu-

amount of Democratic authority for the state
ment, nevertheless. Mr.. Courier.

Members of Congress.

The time Of nominating Members OF Congress
for the several Districts in this State is near at
hand In the First District we believe the in
tention is to hold the Convention at Rutland
the day following the State Convention. We
have heard very little talk as to who is to be
nominated. Mr.. Walton, our present able and
worthy Member has been named for a re.clec.
ton. We have also heard the names Of Hon.
Geo. w Grandey Of Addison, and Ii. E. Mi
ner, OF bennington Counties, mentioned, wheth-
er with or without their consent and knowl-
edge we are not informed. Both are worthy
gentlemen.
In the Second District, we have heard bu
one opinion expressed and We think the Dis
trict is quite unanimous in favor OF the clcc-
ton of Hon. Portus Baxter Of Orleans County.
In the Third District, we hear the names OF
several mcnuoned--IIon. A. P. Hunton Of
Windsor County, Mr.. Kirkland Of Windhaln,
1 and Mr.. Davis of Caledonia. We think, how
ever that the good sense of the people will not
fail to discriminate in favor of Mr.. Hunton.-
His acknowledged talents and legislative abli-
ty can hardly be overlooked in seeking for a
man to make good the place Of the present tai
ented Member. The people must look to these
matters, however, and see that no tricks Of pol
iticians defeat their wishes and impair their in
terests.

RIDING ON 4 RAIL. Tho Democratic M
pers are taunting therwavering adherents that
the initiation to the Republican ranks the
present canvass is to be ride on rail. Now
we know of Il certain poet formerly Demo-
crat, who has borne testimony to this pleasant
exit from the darkness of modern Democracy to
the light Of Republicanism, us follows:
Men of different stations,
In he eye of fame,
Here are very quickly
Coming to the same
High and lowly people,
Birds of every feather,
On a common level,
Travelling together.
BleSs me! this is pleasant
Riding rail"
We advise our Republican friends to engage
the services Of such Democrats as are wishing
TO travel together, constructa rail wlgwam, and
give them free ride.

PoLrIcAL-The Lancaster (Penn.) Examiner
has the following in regard to Old Line Wings
of Pennsylvania:
81 The Chicago candidates are doing glori,
GUS work in the Old Guard already. Old
Line Wings who, in a moment of kindly,
neig hborly feeling, consented to 60 for Mr.
Buchanan IN 1856, are on all sides falling into
line in support of that brave old Wing cham
plon in arms, Abram Lincoln. The signs of
the times auger well for an old fashioned major
lty of five OF six thousand in Lancaster county,
no matter who is nominated as the Democratic
candidate"

Coop FRlENDs.-The Vermont Freeman ex
presses much friendship for the present nation
al administration, and its office holders. This
is probably in gratitude for what it did to Sc
cure Lincoln election to the Senate Rutland
Courier.
We have no sympathy for the present ad-
ministraton, nor for the Courier, nor do we be-
lieve the majority of postmasters and Office
holders in this State have, and any tauntingt
and accusations of such papers as the Courie,
and Patriot to the contrary, are slanderous--
The Bradford Telegraph gives the lie to the
Courier and Patriot as follows
We know of no other Democratic papers
than the Courier and Patriot, in this State that
are lnsinuating' any such thing, and the two
mentioned kaow better than to make any such
statement"

Letters from Hon. Abram Lincoln and Hon.
Hannibal uamlin, respectively accepting the
Chicago nominate ms for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, will be found in our columns. MIR.
Llncoln's is a model letter. Though short, it
says all that needs to be said, and says it in a
handsome style. 1t yindicatcs Mr.. Douglas s
remark, that " Lincoln is one of those men who
have II knack Of doing everything well that he
undertakes" The language is well considered
and solemn, and bears evident marks Of entire
huthfulness.
Mr.. Iamlin's letter is appropriate, well-writ-
ten and satisfactory in every respect. The few
suggestions he makes are cmincntly worthy of
consideration by the people of this country.

For the Herald
TIMES AT MUsCODA. LONG AGO.

FRIEND Cover he great itenerant
wheel has made another annual revolution,
and this time has taken me from the valley
OF the Wisconsin river, up on the high prai-
RE by the old military road. SO you see
it is still true, ale that huinbleth himself
shall be exalted ! was in the valley, but
now am on the hill top.
The Grant County Herald will still be a
welcome visitor to the Fennimore Parson-
AGE near the Fennimore Post-office, land its
Editor viii find the latch string out il he
should call in passing) to which place please
send it, instead of Muscoda as heretofore,-
And while speak, of ,luscoda let me say
that though Solomon says, "There is moth
ing new under II sum-" vet there has been
something new there, and | will,tell you
what it is. On the 10Th day of August
shere was a sabbath school anniversary when
there were several pieces recited by young
ladies and gentlemen, and children Of both
sexes, members of the school, interspersed
with the singing Of pieces appropriate to
the occasion. On the following Tuesday, a
picnic was prepared and partaken of by the
children and citizens. The day passed off
pleasantly and, sir, ecgA you have seen the
sparkling eye and the animated counte-
nance, and hear the merry laugh of child
rem in their frolic it would have done you
good as it did those who witnessed IT,
Hurrah for the sabbath school, the nusery
Of the church and hope Of the world.
After reading the above, one might sup
pose that Muscoda has done enough, at
least for sometime to come. but sir, that
was not the spirit Of the Muscodans, they
must show their respect to their Minister
before giving over their labor of love, and
so on Friday the 18th Of September they
made a social visit to bis house, spent the
afternoon and evening in social and pleas
an manner, and went home leaving not
only words If love to encourage his heart,
but something more substantial than wosfs
In money and articles necessary for family
use, for which | tender them my heartfelt
tn nks, and earnestly pray that the God OF
heaven may reward them, in breaking TO
them the bread Of eternal life.
The whcle Of the above passed off with
eclat, and reflects great credit upon the in-
habitants Of tie village. Yours,
JAS. T. Pryor.

The extent OF the wheat trade Of Chica-
70 and Milwaukee at this time is marvellous.
The historical importance of Dantzic, Ham
burgh and Odessa dwindle into colonial in
significance, compared with these new wheat
,enporiums of the Northwest. The grain
commerce Of Lake Michigan is greater than
that of the Atlantic Ocean. Chicago and
Milwaukee receive and ship more wheat
than any four cities on the globe. The re-
ceipts Of a0heat at these tho cities since
barsest, hare been nearly ten millions Of
bushels The receipts for any day the past
week, at these markets, would give one
bushel to every inhabtant Of Vermont; and
the receipts for the week would feed all
Massachusetts for six months.

CARD ADJ.

We find IN a Naples correspondence Of a
continental journal the following sketch Of
Garibaldi: II have heard him speak, | have
lbeen near him he is wonderful He his
lions nature. His voice is resolute and
decided, bis hand large and his body thick
set. In bis moments Of anger be must be
formidable. In repose, his eve is placid
and his smile pleasant. He is not a man
of genius, but an apostle. He walks in his
faith, without weakness and without fear
he performs miracles. In the tempest, he
is the man to step from his boat and walk
upon the waters. He believes in his mis-
sion, as others believe in their stars; and
he goes straight forward, sure of bis desti-
Inv, likealI conquerors. The other evening,
during the fight at GarInina when the sol
diers fred upon the people with guns and
cannon, lie was unmovel. He offered CT
CARS to the national guards thai surrounded
| him, and said, Let us smoke while We are
waiting for them.' But he feels danger,
and whenever lie sees it b. cries, 'Ci0ado
io!-thiher | 90. A singular trait Of
his character is its perfect simplicity. lie
is the only great man of my acquaintance
who does not attitudinize. A little grand
Eloquent in bis s,,eeches-ike all true be-
lievers-he Is SO in good faith, and not for
the sake ofgrandiloquence. But in his pri-
yate intercourse be is the most cordially
familiar man in the world. He receives
all importunates with martyrs patience
he does not keep them at 4 distance. nor
speak to them ike an oracle He is sim
lple and good. One trait among thous-
and take the most common because it is
the most striking. Messina, believe. one
of the former companions Of Gafibaldi came
and threw himself upon his knees before
him, asking, he said, an immense favor
Il required great effort to make the man
lexpIain himself At last. when he had ex-
hausted his excuses, he said to the Dictator,
Il would like one of your buttons; would
wear it suspended from my neck as an
amulet. and be sure | shall live forever
Garibaldi tore off one OF his buttons and
gave it to the man. As he has said him
self, he is the child Of the people. and he is
Iadored by them. To the lazzaroni he is a
.iaint. God hls sent him to save the count
ry; many eli him Jesus Christ, and his
officers apostles. Aims are asked in the
name Of Garibaldi; here, everything is
translated into devotion"

ugly enough to be insensible to fiattery up

that she must, in some degree, be conscious
Of il, her figure and her air, she trusts,

herself that she has graces; certain; je

and elaborate dress Of the ugiest woman in
the world. An undoubted, uncontested,
conscious beauty is, of all women, the least
sensible of fattery upon that head; she
knows it is her due, and is therefore obliged
TO nobody for giving it her. She must be
