In about eight weeks our annual elec-
ION will take place. We have 10 elect
I'm this county four Representatives TO the
Legislature, Sheriff, Treasurer, County
Coroner, and Commissioner for
the Third District.
We know not who will be candidates,
or how they will be brought before the
people-whelher they will be brought
out by a convention or not. We think
the best way of ascertaining the wishes
of the people of this county will be by
holding a Convention. They then can
make nominations or not, as they may
think best. 1t is important that Repph-
Iicans and Union men should keep upa
thorough organization keep w~ide-awake
or they may ascertain, when too late,
thai Co~pperheads have a majority in the
county and Territory. In some of the
counties above US the Union party have
remained quiet and idle until Copper
heads, who we're more vigilant, have I'M
disputed control Of the county. We are
in favor of an open convention. 1t has
been suggested that Union "Leagues'' IN
this county should make nominations of
candidates. We are opposed to this.--
We think it would produce injurious
effects. We DO not however, wish Ito
dictate. If Union men are generally in
favor Of this, we will submit. But it
seems. 10 US if men are nominated in
secret Convention. it. would have a ten
.dency to weaken the Union party as wen
as the Leagues. The Union Leagues
have a vast influence Cor good wherever
they exist : but they should not be tram
elIed by party {; should not be used mere
Iy as parry machinery. There would be
danger of defeated aspirants and sore
heads. boiling aud ABANDONING the parry

We understand the Republican, County
Committee intend calling a Convention
of the people shortly. There is much
business for the Convention to attend to,
whether they make nominations or not.

EDIroR ADVERTISER: It seems to me
that the whole Northwest is destined to be
forever revolntionizing the Indians are
never long at peace with each other
Ignorant and degraded as many Of them
are, they are not capable of ruling, nor
yet of being ruled bat 1, dwelling
among them as | now am, am forced to
feel in some degree the d~eplorable effect
of the Indian wars which threaten to
deluge the whole of this beautiful country
and lovely land in blood, ua9fa
We are called upon to record one of
the most fendish, atrocioUs acts ever
pc rpetrared on the northern %fronties, in
which three children were b%rutaly muir
.dered in cold blood, and two horribly
mangled. c The oldest was a girlof about
sixteen years, which had been left by
her mother to take care of the family
while she went to Yanktown, a short
distance from where she resided.aoA
she returned on approaching her resi-
dence she saw an Indian hastily disap-
p~earing behind the house. She FASTENED
back to a small village before entering
the, house, and Immediately returned
with six men, who gained admission to
the premises only to discover to the
stricken mother the mutillated corpses of
her children, and two others which had
probably been left for Dead ~ aei.-
Col. Pattee Immediately despatched a
messenger to Capt. Trip, ordering an
immediate search for the offenders. We
do seriously hope hatqthese red-devils
may be made To- attonel ina measure for
the deed by a surrender Of life
As after a fair and beautiful day a
storm may be expected 10 arise, so seems.
the life of a frontier settler. When all
may seem still and quiet, they know not
how soon they may expect troubles and
hard>hips {; for a few moments they are
permitted to baSk in the sunshine of pros
per1y. and then dark and murky clouds
are seen gathering in the distance, which
grow thicker and heavier, completely
obscurlng the sky as they approach, until
at last they break in fury upon their
heads. ~
1t. Col. Pattee is-in command of this
District. The Col. is a practical soldier.
Two years earnest experience in the
frontier service, having fully established
his claim to such a title. His bronzed
features dispel at once the idea of a kid
gloved commander, and suggests the i'm
preston that so long as he CONTROLS the
District there will b. nc, lack of energy
or integrity. We predict for him a sue
cessful administration of affairs under his
supervision. Up ~a "s
The Indian affairs, 1, regret to say,
seem considerably mixed, and the lm-
mediate future anything but promising
for the Indians are already becoming
very imprddehi and bold. Gen. Sully
has left no troops for the defence and
protection of border settlements. Should
the General persist in this policy, the
Territory will be well nigh depopulated.

nor Of Dakota and Others that he intends
leaving no troops but we hope, however
to be able ere long TO chronicle a more

IT is A NATTER OF SURPRISE, not 10

most of The people Of Northwest. west
and Southwest, that from Green Bay
and Lacrosse, on the North, TO Carlo
and ST Louis,son the South, the shortest
route 10 New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore. lies through PITrsBuRoH.
When we add that this route, so geneT-
ally supposed to be a %circuitOus one to
New York, isactually nearly one hundred
miles shorter than the route via Toledo,
Buffalo; and Albany. aud sixty miles ess
distance han via Toledo& Erie Railway;
this fact becomes only the more astOund-
ing 10 the large number of perons who
have heretofore regarded Buffalo as on
the direct line to New York. A further
advantage of the route via Pittsburgh, is.
that there is but one change Of cars. be-
tween Chicago and New York or Phlla-
.delphia, an advantage of great moment
to ladies and families, and withal of no
less comfort TO ! usiness men. Allthese
advantages can be secured by buying your
