Ratification :. Iu-bi-li-atIon.


When, on Wednesday evening last it was an
nounced that the Chicago Copperhead Convention
had nominated the great D0-Nothing, George B.
Mcclellan, as its candidate for t1e Presidency of
the United States, it was at once arranged among
the leading Cops of our town that fitting demon
straton should be made in honor of tie nomination
Of the Young Napoleon"
Accordingly, after drinks all round" a collec-
ton was taken up, Republicans and Cops alike
being called upon for contributions,) and a few
pounds of powder purchased. Two men and Sc
veria boys collected to gether one empty hogsheOd,
one do. goods box and various staves-then they
took a drink,
Kiudled bonfire and proceeded to load the CO
non-couldn't find the ram-rod

Give-up-the Ship -Take-all / -you-want Democracy
got mad, and-tOok drink
Another ram.rod was procured, and five or six
shots were fired, after each of which few sickly
cheers would arise. The powder running out, we
expected to hear at least one ratification speech
and we were not disappointed it is. rer6dh'a
"Hprrar for Lick-mellum and Pendleham--ler's

And they drink-ed
Thea followed more speeches of the same kiad
and more drink-es
Aud so they ratified away until the :" wee sma
hours auept the dawn" when the affair was sum
marly terminated by the closing Of all the drinking
saloons.
Aside from the spirUal exercises, the affair was
a izzle. Counting the srirt-ual manifestations as
enthusiasm, it was, in the language Of German
iubilator, "vera noosch jubi li-auOn."

New Enfernrisn.

We understand that Kreps & freeman, have
leased the Hollister Warehouse, with tho view of
putting in Machinery for the manufacture OF Sorgo
Moasses. This warehouse will give them ample
room for storing any quantity of cane, and Gus
toners will be certain Of having their cane well
cared for, and kept in apple-pie order. Their ma
chinery will be of the very best-they will use one
of Clark's Victor Mills, conceded to be the most
powerful mill ever made, and one Of Cooks copper
Evaporators. They will also use filterers for filter
ing the juice, and coolers for cooling the syrup, be-
fore putting in barrels. Their arrangements and
facilities for the manufacture of our cane will nc
doubt be the best in the county, and farmers w ant
ing superior article of syrup will do well to give
them trial. They expect to be ready to COM
mence operations by the first of next week. They
are, however, ready to receive cane, any time from
this date. ,ta.IFE

years scarcely village existed in the United States

i We hold against several of our subscribers and
. other persons throughout the country, notes for
small amounts, which were given more than year
since, in settlement of old accounts. AS these
4 notas were drawn for only. sixty or ninety days,
t<y were long since due, and it is necessary that
they be settled Immediately. Will our f.iends at
4. tend 10 this ?
We also wish TO call the attention of some of our
subscribers to the fact that their subscriptions for
Vclume XII of the JOURNAL are yet unpaid. The
fact that the National Guards were called out-the
, very week that this volume .commeneed and the
little time we had to make preparations for leaving
our business made the revision Of our subscrip-
ton list an impossibiiiy. The JouRNAL has there
fore been sent, up to the present time to all per-
sons,whose names were on our subscription book
at the close of the last volume. Digc 1r4
The white paper, which we use now costs us
twice the price paid for it two years sinee and
while we furnish the JOURNAL at the old rates, we
must at least require payment in advance. We
shall therefore be compelled to discontinue sending
the JOURNAL to such delinquents as do not soon
settle for the present volume. r7 s
