The Cleveland Herald deplores that the
Republican Con1ention which nominated Lin
coiu had not been postponed ia later day
1t says that he party committed an egrseious
error in nominating early. But Lincoln is
fastened on the party, and they have got to

1t is ominous, that neither the Cincinnati
Gazette, nor the Commerotal, has the courage
to attempt to defeud Lincoln against the ter
ribe accusations which Wade aud Davis make

take up the cudgel for Old Abe. Soon there
will be nobody mean enough to do hin reyer-

given single hurrah for Lincoln since he
was NOMINATED. Was ever nomination re-
eeised so coldly BY the people ?

A few days ago we met gentleman
whose son had enlisted early in the war,
in the three years service. he broke
down, and was compelled to return home,
with lungs terribly diseased. Since the
return of this son, two of his brothers
have been drafted, and six hundred dol

father, who is only in moderate circum-

CoRHwALL.-The election In Cornwall was unusually exciting, owing to some local mat tsrs and private griefs that the good people of that town sometimes allow to influence their political action. We regret that the excellent Judge of Probate should suffer defeat, and are thankful that the " fusiosists' took up 30 geed Union man as Jahn AcMurtry for re- prs'sntative. The regular representative ticket ought to have been elected but it will do very we'll as it is. And ws hope the gov srnment will run new stage from Goshen to West Cornwall and Cornwall Bridge twice . day each way.

 the Peace.

hG- George Washington Rogers is the Post Master at West Meriden, Conn. George Washington seems to have formed a decided eeApHpathy to the people who patronize the Government through his institution, and the people return the compliment to George Wash
 ipgton with interest. The local newspaper, the Rpcerasr. seems to come in for share of
 this antipathy pro and con, and, because it does so, George. Washington exercises the very doubtful authority of refusing to distrib. uts that newspaper through tue Post Office. We have no means of judging of the merits of the disputes between P. M. George w. and fhs people, nor of the petty war between George ". and the Recorder, but We can see fhat ia using the United States Post Office Department to further his private spite against the local newspaper, George Vii going de- cidedly beyond his. .legitim ate limits, and be- sides is making Jrdy of himself before ths ssbeIc state.

Harry Sickler, Esq, the able editor of the I4nkhannock Pa. Democrat publishes the following in his issue of 30th October, 1861 : /" We deem it due to Messrs. J. c. Aver & Co.,. and the public, to make known onr experience with the use of their Ext. sarsaparila in our family, by stating the circumstances under which it was taken and its effects
 When our only child, now in his third year, was about eight months old, a sore appeared frsr in small pimples oD his forehead over his nose. These rapidly increased and uniting formed loathsome, virulent sore, which final ly spread over his forehead and face, not even excepting his eyelids, which became so swell len that his eyes were closed. We called a skilful physician, who administered the usally prescribed remedies. A solution of nitrate of silver was applied until the mass of corruption which covered his entire face turned jet black. The sore again and again burst thro' the seorchsd and artificial skin formed by this so- lution. Meanwhile many remedies were em- ployed without any apparent benefit. For fifteen days and nights be was constantly held by his parents to keep him from tearing open with his hands the carrupt mass which covered his face.
 Everything having failed, we were induced by the high recommendations of Ayers oarsaparlla for the cure of Scrofnlous disease. to give it trial. In his treatise on Serofula, 4r: Aver directs mild solution of Iodiue of Potash to be used as wash whils taking the Sarsaparilla, andit was faithfully applied.
 Before one bottle of Sarsaparilla had bean given the sore had lost much of its vtrulehse and commenced to heal. Another battle effac. ted an entire cure, and the general prediction that the child must die was contradieted. His eyelashes which came out, grew again, and his face is left without scar. as smooth as anybodys. It is unnecessary for me. to state in how high esteem we hold Ayers sarsapat'

 Miss Webb has repeated in Cincinnati her reply to Miss Dickinson, in which she made her debut in this city. The GaseAe says of the effort: I've think Talleyrand's criticism on the young authors book will apply most admirably to Miss Webb's lecture: It had some new things in it, and some good things; but the new things were not good, snd the good things were not new The new things were her own; the good things were the ex- tracts she made from Miss Oickinsons ad' dress, and the Song ef the Shirt. before meptioned.' Miss Webb has been fortunate enough in her now role to secure either the apprpsal of her friends or the serious criticism l of her opponents.
