B@- The Kentucky politicians are
talking of running Gen. Sherman for
The Presidency in 1868. What provi-
dent fellows they are. These office
hunters value great General for the
same reason that sportsman values a
horse; they want to make money out of
him, break him down by sphrring him
to the top OF his speed, and then sell
him to pull a rekety express wagon for
chicken pedler, or green grocer.
The Lord deliver General Sherman

noticed several advertisements, recently,
by which certain Express companies
promise to convey boxes, parcels, pack

lower rates than any other Express Co.
Now what they term "much lower
rates" am at loss to know but do
believe that all such advertiseme are
simply clonks to cover eUtorHon, which,
at present, amounts to almost robbery.

fruit, aud weighing 81 lbs in all, was
started from Blanchester, o., to Cun,.
