A Postmaster VIM PrIncinles.


A Postmaster at Munoie, Indiana, who
declines to enlist in RandalI's bread and
butternut brigade, vents this exemplary
letter
P. 0. MUNCIE, IND, Aug Z, 1866.
SIR: have just received your request
that if the call of the friends of the Fresi-
dents policy, for what you call a "Na-
tional Union Convention, to be held at
Philadelphia on the l4th of this month.
meets my appreciation, to signify it by a
brief letter, with authority to publish the
same.
l understand this simply to mean that
by so doing l may hope to retain my Off
cial position, otherwise l may expect to
be superseded by a person who will en-
dorse the objects of said convention.
Ny reply to this singular requisition
shall be as brief and emphatic as the ma
ture of the case will permit. l received
my appointment from the immortal and
patriotic predecessor of the present acct
dental incumbent, without the least sacri-
fee Of my political or religious convic-
tons, and under no conceivable cir
~cumstances could I consent to retain the
position on any other conditions.
l must frankly inform you that l do
not indorse the policy of the President of
intrusting the Legislative power of the
Nation in hands yet red with the blood
Of my patriotic countrymen.
And Notwithstanding my removal mt
this period of the term for which l was
| appointed will subject me to a serious pc
euniary inconvenience, nevertheless, 1
could not consent, even if it were for the
emoluments of all the offices at the dis
posal of the Executive, to enter into
! political fellowship with the mot
ley factionso of perjured rebels, traitorous
Copperheads, and disappointed soreheads
and fawning lickspittles that must consti-
tute the party 10 be organized at Pnila-
delphia on the I4th inst.
shall continue to discharge my official
duties with impartial fidelity until l am su-
pereeded by candid supporter of the Pres
ident's policy, or till some ~oulless, crawl
ing sycophant bows the supple knee and
takes the yoke. Respectfully,
S. l. WATSON, P. NJ.

1t is somewhat premature to undertake
to mark ont and certify the future of the
two great Germanic groups which are toll
erablv sure to arise FROM the ruins of the
Bund struck down by the voice of Prussia,
June Is, 1866, and by the arms of Prussia
less than two months subsequently. But

Germany, north and south of the river
Main, which is set forth as the future
boundary-line between the Prussian realm,
with its dependencies, and the South-Ger-

The Republicans of the Seventeenth
Congressional District, consisting of the
counties of Carroll, CoIumbians, jefferson
and Stark, held their Congressional Con-
vention on Wednesday, and nominated
Hon. Z. R. Eckley for reelection to Con-
gress. In this action the Union party of
the District have endorsed the policy of
Congress, in support of which Mr.. Eckley
was a firm and consistent advocate, and
thus rebuked the treachery of Andrew
johnson, and pronounced a decided pro-
test against the principles about to assume
consolidated shape through the action of
the Philadelphia C~opperjohnson Conven-
ton. The record of Mr.. Eckley deserves
this recognition, and thel Republicans of
the Seventeenth District will vouch for
their sincerity by returning him to the
position he has filed with honor and
credit 20 himself and his constituency.

From the New Philadelphia Chronicle:
On last Saturday evening the Director:
Of the Goshen Oil Il Coal Company or
dered the boring, at Reeds Run, to be
discontinued. The well has reached 9
depth of 9l5 feet. The drill had, on last
Saturday penetrated several feet into q
slate rock, with better indications Of oil
than since striking the vein Of salt water.
The Company proposes to enter upon the
manufacture of salt, without delay. The
average yield of salt wells, we are told, is
about ten per cent, while this well will
not fall below II to 20 per cent.
The hay crop in Tuscarawas has been
somewhat injured by the recent protracted
rains in this section, but notwithstanding,
it IS very good. Corn will be more album
dant than it has been for some wears, IN
less some unforeseen occurrence should
yet damage it; some persons complain
that there is more stalk and less ear than
usual, but nevertheless the crop will be
exceedingly large. Oats could not well
be better it stood very thick on the ground
and the heads were well filled. Buck
wheat will be abundant. The Potato crop
is very large, exceeding by far anything
in that line for wears back.

CUTTER FASTENER.
S
Patent Gutter Fastener !
The most Durable, the Cheapest, and
the most Simple Of any mode nov
known for %EuspendIng Tin
Cutters or Eve TrOHghS.
Il fs strong and not visible 20 tie
sight.

THE MODE OF SUSPENDING
i Cutters according TO the Yapp's patent IS IS
follows: Across the top Of the Gutter, az about
from 6 10 10 feet apart, according 10 th9 size and
length, is soldsred a half-iuCh tin tube. Through
this tube a rod or bolt of the required lei 9Th, with
q thread on the end, is put through aud screwed
into the s%tudding plate OF rsfter Of the ~huilding,
to which the gutter is suspended The gut-
ter is held TO the rod by a pin, which is put
through a hole in the tube, aud a corresponding
one in the spike. By Simply pulling ont this pin
with the finger, the gutter could be taken OF AID
slipped gu again without any difficulty, thus rem
6ering it easily repaired or painted. By this
mode the gutter is held stifiy in is place from
year to year without any change ia its position.
Each rod which sustains the gutter will support
the weight OF a nautilus giving an idea Gifts
strength. The whole fasteningt are ont Of sight
entirely, thus adding to The appearance OF the
gutter.
BY the old mode the gutter is suspended by hav-
ing q strip Of tin banded around IL and nailed to
the building. Soon the nails get rusty, snd the
band slips on. The wind operating on The gutter
gradually turns it around and twists it a5oucso
as 10 make it useless. n uro0t Of this look at the
thousands Of cutters hung by the old process.
Below Is appended the certificates Of Architects
and Builders certifying 10 the superiority Of
Yapp's Patent Gutter Fastener:
We, the undersigned, Architects OF Cleveland,
having carefully examined into the merits Of the
above mode of Hanging and putting up Cutters,
are confident that it is superior 20 the old
mode, and we cheerfuily and consclentionsiy re-
commend it The public.

MAHONING COUNTY.
From the Youngstown Register:

ivan
A partition suit has been commenced
in the Mahoning Common Pleas Court,
bv the widow of the late Simeon Jen-
nings, for q division of the estate left by
him. The descriptions of the lands
owned by Mr.. Jennings, in Ohio, covers
more than a page of the Garfield Herald.
These lands lie in twenty different
counties, and comprise eighty-one sepa-
rate tracts, besides a number of village
lots, divided among the several counties
as follows: In Mahoning County, eleven
hundred and forty-six acres Stark, two
hundred and seventy-two acres Cuyaho-
ga, three hundred and eighty-seven acres;
Medina, two hundred and four acres
Wayne, six hundred and nineteen acres;
Putnam, six hundred and eighty acres )
Defiance, s~eventy-tour acres; Wyandott,
eighty acres Henry DEG hundred and
sixty acres; Mercer, n hundred and
ffty-seven acres Van Vert, n hun
bred and ninety-seven acres; Hancock,
eight hundred and forty-one acres; Col
| umbiana, nine hundred and ifty-one
| acres; Lucas, sixty acres Wood, six
| hundred and forty-six acres Hardin, one
hundred and sixty-seven acres; Ottowa,
four hundred and ninety-six acresi Viii
liams. seven hundred and eighty-six acres
Carroll. seven hundred and ~sixty-seven
acres; Tuscarawas, one hundred and
| fortv-seven acres. Total, nine thousand
eight hundred and one acres, estimated tc
be worth from four hundred thousand u
nalf a million dollars. This does not In
clude a large number of tracts Of land
held by mortgage, under contracts or In
litigation. Mr.. Jennings also owned
lands in Illinois, Indiana, and other
Western States, perhaps Of as much OF
greater value.
Mr.. Jennings died childless. By his
will he left twO-thirds of his property tc
brothers and sisters, or their descendants,
| and the ether third to his wife during her
life. After her death, however, the will
does not provide what shall be done with
this third. The widow declines taking,
under the will, claiming to be the heir to
the one-third undevised TO any other per
son, and entitled TO hold it in fee simple,
and also claiming a dover in all the land,
including the two-thirds willed to the
brothers and sisters. The heirs contest
her claim. This is probably the most i'm
portant suit in partition, 81 far as the the
quantity and value of land are concerned
ever brought in Ohio.
In Sharon the other day, a gift enter
prise man had his pockets picked of $500
while lying drunk in the streets. So say:

BY such a division of Germany it will
be seen that Prussia will be put in con-
troll of Il population not greatly inferior
to that of Great Britain and Ireland, and
superior TO the population of Italy, even
after the annexation of Venetia. The
population of Austria, after the cession of
Venetia, however, would still be nearly
ten millions greater than that of Prussian
Germany, and not more than two millions
less than the population of France.

vaIIandisiam and the ohio Demoe-

racy.
The resolution of the Copperhead dele
cation from Ohio, endorsing most cor
daily the purity and patriotism of VAL
landigham's motives, should fix the status
Of this party beyond all cavil with the
loyal people OF this State, and while it
does this, it accomplishes the more impor-
tant work of determining the character,
and exposing the duplicity, of the Phila-
delphia Convention. These Ohio copper
heads acknowledge, unanimously, their
sympathy withthe principles of the traitor
Vallandigham-the denounced and OK
lied enemy of his country in her contest
for self-preservation-and yet they are
allowed to sit in a convention from which
considerations of policy excluded Val
landigham- In what respect are these
men more acceptable than the man
they thus "most cordially endorse? Is
there a degree of treason that Vsllan-
digham has reached which these Ohio
Democrats have not attained to. or are
believed incapable Of, that iustifes this
discrimination? There is nothing of the
sort, and that man Is a fool who refuses
to see the true meaning of this thing.
The eopperhead party is essential to the
very existence Of this johnson cabal they
are utterly powerless without it and if
they could but conceal their connection
with 2 few Of the most obnoxious, because
best known, leaders of it, they viii readi-
" embrace the masses. Unfortunately
for their cause, they cannot hope to per
mainly keep down these leaders; they are
aspiring and ambitious; their maxim IS
"rule or ruin" and they will be heard in
spite of the best strategy of johnson and
MS followers.

We asserted that the bill to increase the
salaries of Congressman wss introduced
by a Copperhead. The Congressional
Globe shows that fact. The author of it
was Senator Riddle of Delaware. We
also said that the proposition of Copper
head members of the House who voted
for it, was greater than the proportion Of
Union men-proportion according to nu-
merical strength. The yeas and nays
show that a majority of the Union mem
bers ootcG against it, while a majority the
Democratic members voting roted for IT..
Sixteen C~opperheads voted voted for, and
only seven against. We state this fact,
not because we think the passage of the
act needs defence, but because the Copper
heads are disappearing the facts for the
purpose of making capital out of it
