CITY AND COUNTY.

Many needed improvements are going
forward in our City. The bridge on
Main street is now in good order and
substantial. The CalabOOse is nearly
completed, and viii doubtless 40 much for
the quiet and order Of our City. The
pavement of the sidewalks on Main
street is going forward briskly, and new
business and dwelling house are going up
in many portions Of our city.
We have resided in Bsownville since
he Spring of Sc and can safely say,
without fear Of contradiction, that never,
since that period, have the prospects of
BrOWnville been 50 good as at present.
Business Of all kinds is fourishing. and
the business and dwelling houses erected
this season are Of a more substantial
character than those erected heretofore,
giving 10 our city an appearance of per-
manence and sohdity not gene ally seen
in the West.
Another fact worthy of mention here,
is, hat cur county, with regard TO wealth
and population engaged in agriculture, is
steadily increasing, and is in advance of
sur cities, arguing a healthy and permS.
nent condition of beth. Crops last year
were good, while this year will be a fair
average; produce Of oil kinds brings good
prices the effects Of this may be seen
all over the county, in the vigor which
is manifest-despi;e the large drain upon
our population for the army-in the new
dwellings, barns, wagons, improved farm
ing implements, and in fact everything
bears the impress Of progress and stabili-
~. And what is stAt more to the honor
OF our population, in both city and county.
il is loysl to the core. With all these
necessary northumberland our

affairs ceases with this number of the
AdVertiser-we leave il, never doubling
but that it will triumph over all obstacles

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

This cOnglomeratiOn of diverse ell
ments iS now in session. At time oil
going to Press, we have cen but lit
tie of its proceedings. The cOnven-
ton was organized by making ex-sen-
stOr Bigler of Pennsylvania temporary

the speeches made previous to the or
~gsnzation. Nearly all advocated i'm

large portion of the "peace men, uni

ding"
As a specimen Of the reasonable
sentiments expressed, We have only
room for the following extract by the
Infamous Capt. Rynders:
Gle said he had always been for
peace, even before the first gun was
fred. He had denounced the unholy
crusade against our southern breth'
eren before the first regiment moved
south. He saw the inevitable result
of war-the waste, and blood, and
tears it would entail, and to this day
he could say, and be said it with pride,
that he had never said one word against
the brave, noble, generous, chivalrous
people Of the south, and he trusted in
God he never would. Nearly half a
million of those noble men had fallen
in bloody graves, but they remain un-
conquered. ECheers. They can new
er be subdued, as they are a part of
u own flesh and blood. Loud ap.
plause. Millions more of men may
be torn from their homes to"fall in the
fight, but the task will fail as it ought
to do"
"Those who count upon a division
of the Democratic party, win be dis
appointed. We are one and all for
peace, and with this magic word upon
our banner we shall sweep over the
course, rnd rollintO oblivion the black,
negrO-lOving, negrO-hugging, worship

1t is reported that Beauregard has
gone TO Atlanta with 10000 men to re.
iuforce the rebel army and 10 take COM
mand of it. We do DOT believe that Lee
can spare that or any other number of
troops. II may be set down that Gen.
Grant will not be idle if Lee has weak
ened his army 10 help Hoods sorely pres
sed column. But should it prove true
that a corps under Beauregard has been
dispatched 10 Atlanta, we are confident
that they will find General A. j. Smith
at the head of some $4,000 veterans
ready to receive them. Smith started
east from Memphis a fortnight or three
weeks ago, aud has no, been definitely
heard from since. though the rebels know
where he is. We have little doubt that
be has joined General, Sherman, or
will in a very few days. Forrest. with
his cloud of guerrillas, disappeared from.
Corinih soon after his defeat at the hands
of Smith and i! is now believed that be
has joined Hoods army. Nearly all the
predatory rowing bands of rebels which in
June and July infested the Mississippi
have disappeared. They hare doubtless
been summoned to the defense of Allan.
Ia, where the whole available rebel for
ces in the Cotton States are new concen-
trated. What Sherman needs is a large
reinforcement TO enable him to capture
Atlanta and rou1 its defenders, That
done, and the war is substantially at an
end. The Copperhead hostility to the
draft Is for the purpose of preventing him
from being thus reinforced Chicago

The impression has prevailed general
~ that the Indians. in their de~predations
on our frontier, we're assisted by gueril-
las aud bushwhaskers, but this is doubtless
. Aistake, for two reasons: first, il rem
ders insecure and dangerous the most av-
ailable read by which seeeSh can hope
to escape the draft; second, the telegraph
wires have never been disturbed since
the outbreak. 1t is gratifying to US to
believe that such is the case. as there are
still a few latan; traits of humanity to be
found in Indian character but total de.
pravi.y is the only standard by which to
estimate bushwhackers and guerriIlss,
