THE MOUNTAIN DEMOCRAT.

STUMPISG IT.-CunnesS' candidates are
making desperate efforts 10 carry the
county. John has ordered them Ia
STUMP" the county thoroughly. and
they have gone at it in earnest. They
have got out appointments for meetings
TOR nearly every night until the election.
They find it an up hill business to con
vince the people Of the sincerity of their
professions Of attachment to the Uniou,
while advocating Abolition measures. 1t
is u fact known to every intelligent man
in our county that the party for whose
success they are laborng, was the first to
petition Congress for II dissolution Of the
Union, and that its representative men
Seward and Chase-voted for it. Does
any man in our county believe that it
the Democratic party were now in the
Ascendancy CONFESS candidates would hc
ighing it, Certainly not. They would
be the loudest in advocating its principles
and fercest in denouncing the fuSionists.
We Judge the present by the past, aud
The antecedents Of Il majority Of them is
sufficient to convict them Of duplic,y, if
nothing more.

TnE ADVENTURES OF LOYAL MAIDEN
AMONG THE REBELs.-Miss Fanny Brtton
some time since received a communication
from the colonel of an Ohio regiment then
stationed at Lebanon, Kentucky, to visit her
brother there, who was in command. Fanny
was a resident of Cleveland, and, availing her
self of the opportunity to embrace cherish
ed relative, she made up a small bundle, put
what she supposed would be sufficient money
in her purse, and started for the "debatable
ground" Arriving at Lexington she found
that the regiment to which her brother be-
longed had changed its location, and, uncer-
tain how to proceed, she remained for cou-
pie of weeks until her money was almost ex-
pended, when she made up her mind to re-
turn homeward, when she set out on foot for
Paris, which, travel-worn, she reached late in
the evening to find herself in the hands of
large body of the enemy's cavalry. An
entire stranger, she was taken into custody,
and, it being soon ascertained that she was an
omoan, she was suspected as a spy, and de-
famed prisoner in the apartment of a house
in the second story.
Inc guard, however, was rather loosly kent
and the next morning Fanny contrived to ex.
plore another room, where she discovered a
suit Of masculine apparel, which She apnro-
priated, and found a tolerable fit. Thus dis
quised, she made her way to the roof of the
honse, from which she contrived to descend
by means of a gutter-spout, when she went to
an adjoining stable, and selected one from a

raise hemp. We clip the following from the
Homestead --s.

manufacturing into such fabrics as are gen
orally made of hemp? If so, will not you
Mr.. Editor, OF some of your correspondents,
give the readers of your journal chapter on
the cultivation Of this crop. embracing gem
eral directions for sowing, tillng through the
season. harvesting and preparing for market.
If we can make hemp culture profitable, it
would be wise economy to grow it, and es-
tablish manufactures for working it into
such fabrics as it is adapted to, and which
our population might use to considerable ex-
tent in lieu OF cotton goods. The present
high price of all manufactured cotton should
lead us to cast about for substitute which
we can raise and manufacture for use within
our own borders
Wool might and should be used more than
it is. But it requires capital to start with
and time for much increase of the original
stock; and then it will not answer for every.
thing. If we had plenty of wool we should
still need some vegetable products for textile
fabrications. What shall it be? Who will
answer? @

Flax Growing.

We have recommended in the GAZETTE
the growing Of flax as a source of profit. -
We would like the experience of those thai
have raised it and give it to us for publica
'tion. First, how many pounds of flax dressed
can be, produced to the acre. Second, what
is the expense of seeding, gathering, rotting
breaking and dressing to the acre. We have
small work on the fax fibre that we shall
in due time give to our readers. We hope
that such as have had experience with fax
will report at an early day.
