THE UPRISING OF PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT IN
THE WEST is represented as being universal
and outspoken. "My policy" finds few sup
porters there, even among his old friends
General Logan, hitherto an admirer of the
President, and who, until recently, has spoken
of him in the highest terms of respect, now
abandons him as an apostate and renegade,
false to his party and false to his country. Lo-
gan is leader of great popularity and infiu-
ence, and his inyectives, hurled at the head of
the occupant Of the White House, and the ap-
plause with which they are received, indicate
not only turn Of the tide, but which way the
tide, rapidly reaching its food, is rushing with
overwhelming force. Something of the dam
aging truth Of the gallant Generals appeals
may be learned from the following extract from
his recent speech in Chicago:
The queer gathering at Philadelphia reminds
me of the Happy Family in circus, where
there is possum, monkey, cat, some rats,
and cnickens, and puppies, and so on, and when
we wonder why they don't eat each other up,
the ring-master tells us that he arranges all
that Now Let the soldier come forward who is
not on our side, and let me tell him that all the

Our salvation lies in showing the traitor at tho

that the people will speak. Nothing but such
a rebuke as only the people in their majesty can
utter, may suffice to stay the madness Of treason
already desperate.

THE STATE.

The Farmer states that Mr.. II. Lyon, re-
siding in the west part of Augusta, while en-
gagged in digging well, found at a depth of
twenty feet below the surface (after having just
passed stratum Of primitive clay) large pine
knot, perfectly sound. 1t was embedded in
stratum OF coarse gravel, and the query is, how
it came there?
The Aroostook Times says: The hay crop
is SO very heavy in that section, that it is with
difficulty that the farmers can find room in
their barns for slowing it away. Crops of all
kinds are remarkably good this season. Wheat
looks better than it has for years. We do not
hear that it is affected by the weevil.
