STRATED Or SFoLEN.-From this
office about four weeks ago the Boss
hostler Of this sheet. tits supposed he
was perfectly sane previous to his exit
from this office, bnt his long absence
has caused us TO feel alarmed for his
safety. He is about five feet six inches
high wore store clothes, has four fingers
on either hand, and wore little old
hat that had seen the day twas as good
as Everett was. lie wore n small lock
OF bar on his lower jaw, has red eyes,
long ears, Some mouth, black hair, and
two legs and part Of another one. He
has the seven year itch and is Indicted
to playing billiards always useing the
bridge. When last seen he had more
or less tax certificates in his pockets,
and it is feared he will swindlo some
body if not taken care OF. He would
be taken for Judge Douglas owing to
the close resemblance of the two.
Douglasites are warned not to get up
any demonstrations over him for we
wish TO preserve the honor of the Re
porter. A years subscription to the
Reporter will be given to any person
capturing him dead or alive. Repub-
iicans are warned not to mistake
Douglas for him, as we don't want
the craft disgraced. The Mill. Neeeos
will please copy.

NEW York, June 29-o D. n.

The Great Eastern passed the Bat
terry at 1880 p. m. No difficulty vas
experienced in passing i'll the bay and
the immense ship wendell her way
through the bay as easily as a pilot
boat. She was attended by feet Of
sail craft and the enthusiasm Of the
crowd on board of them was unbound
ed. Throngs at the Battery and on
the various piers on the North River
were immense. She moved very rap
idly through the bay, only one Of the
steamers being able to keep up with
her. The fcigate Niagara lying in the
stream looked very small in compare
son with her
Many salutes were fred in her honor.
She was decked with flags from bow
to stern.
Circulars per Europa and Great Eas-
tern report the weeks imports Of cot
ton at Liverpool at 5000 bales.
The Great Eastern was moored at
her dock at about o'clock. Her i'm
mense length covers two entire blocks.
There appears to be no end to the
curiosity with which she is viewed.

The Homestead Bill Veto. :

The truitless old Fogy who rules
with iron will the people of this con-
-tederacy, at Washington, last week We
toed the bill for rendering to permanent
settlers on our public domain one hun
dred and sixty acres Of land for the
sum Of twenty-five cents per acre, af-
ter residence on said lands Of five
years. The bill was noble one, and,
had it passed, would have resulted III
great good, both to our nation and the
poor settler who will now be ousted
from his new home in the West.
Thousands Of settlers in Minnesota
have been waiting the action Of Con-
gress and the President on this impor-
tant matter, and we shall be disappoint-
ed if they do not repudiate the Ad-
ministration next November, by an
Overwhelming majority for Lincoln and
Hamlin. Below We copy remarks made
by the Milwaukee Free Democrat
We presume the veto Of the Home
stead Bill by Buchanan, did not take
the country entirely by surprise, as
probably would nothing he might do,
diabolical in its character, If he had
given his real reasons for doing it, he
might at least have saved a little cred
it for candor. But he did not; and we
are at loss, in virtue Of the reasons
he does give, whether he is trying to
delued himself or the people Of the ma
ton.
He objects that Congress has TO
right to give away the public lands.
Why not? It has given away mill
ions Of acres, and with Bucilanan's
sanction too. Scarcely q session Of
Congress for years past, that has not
given away enormous quantities of pub
lie lands. II Congress has no right to
give away these lands, how happens it
that millions Of acres have been given
to soldiers Of all the wars ever fought,
and to States for a variety Of purposes.
Ifit be said these men fought for their
country, mereply that they got for
that all the pay contracted to be given
them; they did not do it il anticipa-
ton Of these lands; it was no part Of
the bargain, and, therefore, the lands
were free gift.
Beside this-this bill did not give
away these lands-it only reduced the
price Of them. Congress has before
reduced the price Of public lands. It
did it essentially under the graduation
act. Could it net do it again?
It would be unjust too, to the old
soldiers, the President says. There
are about one hundred settlers to one
old soldier to speculate out Of his land
warrant, or the Spectator who has got
it from him long ago, injustice must be
done to the hundred settlers.
But we have no patience to pursue
the Presidents fimsy reasons. He has
no faith in them himself-and, there
fore, it is not at all probable any per-
son else will have. IF he had simply
said: "Gentlemen, this is measure
that will inure to the benefit Of free
men and free labor-my administration
is devoted to sustaining Shareholders
and slave labor, and, therefore, | must
veto it." he would have told the whole
story; and though the people might
have known just as well without his
stating it, he would, as we remarked,
have saved a shred Of his candor at
least.

Our Prospects,

Never before, siuce the organization
Of the Republican party have matters
and things Of political nature aSsuln-
ed SO favorable an aspect for the sue
cess Of Rcpublicanism as at present.
IN SO we were obliged to contend
against the united forces of the Democ-
racY, whose whole aim was to win the
spells Of Executive favor and to per-
petuate, at all hazards the institution
of slavery. Our foe was then mi ghty,
and had at its disposal the funds of the
national treasury to expend for the fur
therance of its ends. That these funds
were prostituted to obtain the election
Of Buchanan over Fremont, more par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, no sane man
can truthfully gainsay. The investiga-
ton by the Covode Committee has
substantiated this fact beyond doubt.
In SO the Fillmore faction were against
Us, now nearly every paper that sup
ported the American party in 1856, arc
ont in favor Of Lincoln and Uamlin.-
To be sure the Bell and Everett ticket
may to a certain extent operate against
our Interests, still we have nothing to
fear from that quarter, for the larger
number Of votes polled by that ticket
will be at the south where We have no
strength, and there it will fall far be
hind the footings Of the Fillmore ticket
at the north in SO.
We can hardly expect to carry any
Of the northern States by such vast ma
jorities as did Fremont, for while we
admit that Republican principles are
IS dear to us as at that time, we must
also conccde that the enthus iasm man
iieSted for the gallant mountaineer
vii! not be gotten up for Lincoln. FIRE
mont cariied-N. Y. by over 81, 600 ma
iority-LinooIn viii undoubtedly Get
$4,000. This does not prove that our
prospects are becoming blightcd, but
that feeling more confident of victory,
we shall not arouse ourselves to eser-
crtion as III '56.
Since the last campaign we have
been gradually gaining ground, We
have lost nothing, but on the contrary
Republican principles have become
better understood, and the honest por.
ton Of the voters Of the north have be,
come convinced and aroused. Facts
have come TO light, revealing the rot
teness of the Democracy, and at the
same time portraying the honesty and
integrity Of Republican principles. II
1856 our foe acted upon the principle
that ''union is strength now they are
irreT0cably separated.
That powerful organization which
originated with Jefferson and Adams
that survived the defeat of the Whio
party, has by its success and prosperity
IN the past, and its long retention in
power become SO corrupt that it has
fallen from its own weakness and in
stability, The name only survives
The vast resources Of the treasury can.
not now be expended to promote its
interests as unit. The Douglas fac.
ton Of course can expect nothing from
the Administration, and the expendi
ture of funds in behalf of Breckenridge
and Lane will avail nothing. The &C
ton of Forney is a death blow to the
Douglas interests in Pennsylvania

THE BALL IS RcLLING.-The notices
for Republican meetings in nearly ali
Of our exchanges, show that the Re
publicans Of nearly every town in the
nor thern States are entering upon the
campaign in earnest. IN almost every
settlement throughout this State, they
are having grand and enthusiastic
meetings, and on Wednesday evening
next, there viii a County meeting in
this place to exhibit the feelings Of the
Republicans Of this county towards
that most excellent ticket nominated
for them at Chicago. We have had
several meetings which have been well
attended, but we know there are a great
many lice Republicans in Wood coun-
ty who haze not attended. Come out,
gentlemen, and let us hear from you.
All the signs are suspicious for an ac-
tive and harmonious canvass. The
Republicans never felt more united or
in better spirits than at present.
