Editors Journal:
When | left your city / promised
your Mr.. s. that | would furnish your
paper with an occasional item, should
anything of interest occur on my beat.
On Monday, the 18th inst, we ar
rived at Leavenworth, the somewhat
dilapidated county-seat of the county
of Crawford. We did not find any
body ready or willing to go to Jeffer-
sonville this term, though we found
one young gentleman who will prob
ably make that trip next term, he be-
ing charged with having opened the
store-room of Messrs. Sands & Wood
bury on the 4th of July and distracted
from Sheir drawer some $45 90.
Another case should like to tell
you about, but fear / should be tabood
for penning something unfit for eyes
polite. Suffice It to say that coming
events were delayed some six hours
by the brutal conduct of an inhuman
husband. But this being a casus
on,issus at law (like the late rebel
ion), the fellow can only be punished
for an aggravated assault and battery.
The Grand Jury Investigated an al
legged case of prisoning. The poison
was supposed to have been contained
in some soda, returned to Mrs. I. by
Mrs. b., who hid borrowed of the for
mer. Four members of the family were
taken seriously i'll at breakfast with
symptoms of poisoning. The jury,
however, doubted whether Mrs. B.
was guilty, upon the evidence, of so
grave crime, and so ignored the bill.
About the usual number of petty
misdemeanors were tried and punish
ed, and / may here remark, that on the
last day of the term, the saloon keep
ers read lesson on the subject of
selling whisky to intoxicated men,
which they will not likely forget at
once. 1t is true, as political parties
are constituted, the whisky interest is
courted; but my private opinion is
that the whole traffic is an unmitigated
curse. ,..re-.F.

In this Congressional District poll
tics is at a fever heat. The gallant
General Gresham is making the war
for Congress against that notorious
rebel, Michael G. Kerr, who misrep-
resented the District in the last Con-
gress. Although the Democratic ma
jority last election was 1878, the
Union men are confident that they
will achieve a glorious victory this
Fall.
On the night of Tuesday, the 18th,
we attended a joint discussion, be-
tween Frank Wilson, Esq, Union
candidate for State Senator from the
counties of Orange and Crawford,
and Sim. K. Wolfe, Esq, a good law
yer and a good Copperhead. Mr..
Wilson's argument was candid and
logical throughout, and in his opening
speech of an hour and quarter he
demonstrated from the record that
the Copperhead party was in sympathy
with the South during the rebellion,
and that it is now the negro party of
the country. Mr.. Wolfe tried hard
to get rid of this last charge, but it
stuck to him like the poison shirt of
Nessus.
am decidedly in favor of joint dis
cussions where they can be had. If
our speakers post themselves at all,
the record is so entirely in our favor
that victory must always perch on
our banners.
I have heard it stated on good au-
thority that Gen. Gresham has SO far
been unable to draw Mr.. Kerr into
joint discussions. 1t is also reported
that Mr.. Kerr has admitted that the
first section of the reconstruction
platform does not confer negro suf-
rage IF this is so, Mr.. Kerr is wise
in not taking the stump, as he "ad-
mits away his whole case.
On the night of the 18th instant, we
had the pleasure of hearing the Hon.
Thomas Slaughter upon the issues of
the day. With his long established
character for ability, integrity and
craftsmanship, any praise from us
would be superfuous. i would like
to give you an abstract of his argu-
ment, but want of time forbids. Mr..
Slaughter was late Assessor of Inter-
nal Revenue in this District, but has
lately been decapitated, and his po-
sition given to Col. Davis, who, it is
currently reported and generally be-
lieved, indorses my policy" Fl.

That the people of the old world
should be slow to admit that America
is attractive is not strange. Until
recently, Europeans considered that
theirs was the only land fit to live in,
and that ours was large lump of
ugly clay, simply to G balance their
world of beauty. But the Falls of
Niagara, the scenery of the Hudson
and Upper Mississippi, have forced
the admission that America is
sometl ing more than barren waste.
Writers, in their descriptions, have
not exaggerated the scenery of the
Upper Mississippi. Itfurnishes every
thing that is calculated to awaken
lively and pleasing imagination, and
it is not strange that the river is thick
with steamers, and steamers all
crowded with passengers. There is
nothing of mountain grandeur along
the river; but bluff after bluff, with
bare side and top, and frowning rocks,
half gray and half brown, remind one
OF some ancient castle, and it looks as
though blast of powder might drive
out some old monk from his cell; be-
sides, there is certain wildness which
hovers over the country, that makes
one think the red man still hunts the
deer beyond the hills, and dances
over the scalps of the white. 1t is
not wonder that the red man fought
for such home, and swore vengeance
as he left his canoe to rot upon the
shore. ~ AA

The Prospect Ahead.

Every where throughout the North
the prospects of the Union party, rep.
resented by Congress, looks bright
The schism which for time threat.
ened to be somewhat formida BILE, is
dwindling into proportions most insig-
nifcant, aad everything now indicates
triumph more complete than that OF
1864. Here and there, an old dotard
like Bates of Missouri, or Ewing OF
Ohio, who have been fossils and bar
nacles On the Union cause for years,
have left it. It is like the Tyler
movement. When that traitor left
his party, he took with him a little
squad of barnacles which had for
years been sapping the foundations of
the Wing party, and thereby purified
it. History here repeats itself, and
the more disgraceful apostacy of An
drew johnson will only take off a
section of office holders and office
seekers from the Union party, and the
class, too, which will prove of least
loss to it and of leastuse to the party
they join.
Every sagacious man must see that
all indications point to an overwhelm-
ing victory for the Union party in the
North, and every day for the past two
months has shown more and more
plainly that such result is sure to
come. Does any Southern man hope
that civil war can be started in the
North in the event of triumph of
the Union party at the polls, whereby
the present majority shall be fully or
nearly secured for the Fortieth Con-
gress? If so, he is fool. No more
preposterous folly is possible If the
Northern Democrats dared not raise
a hand to help the South in the dark
hours that preceded Antietam or Get
tysburg, when even !. the staunehest
and most confident of Union men
doubted and feared for the result,
what possible chance will there be
when the same vast forces shall
have shown at the ballotIbox that
they are determined to secure guar
antees for future peace? All the mu-
nitions of war are in the North.
Every manufacturing arsenal and ar
senal of deposit is there. The pusil-
luminous Northern Democrats the
peace at-all- hazard fellows-are poor
stuff to depend on for aid in a contest
of arms, 1t seems impossible that the
Southern people are so silly as to be
again entrapped by the promises of
such abject towards. 1.-THE Northern
Copperheads are beaten in the con-
test, they will perhaps talk big talk,
because it is their nature, but they
will not fight If the Copperheads
should by any miracle be successful in
the contest at the ballot-box, the
Radical party will quietly submit to
the peoples verdict and await a reac-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the beaten
party in either case will be willing to
abide the verdict of the people at the
ballot-box.

paused upon brink to take view of
the city, and drove across the prairie
to st. Anthony, where we climbed
down some old boards-which might
have been steps years since-to an old
rotten platform, where we got clear
view of the Fails. Z" We spent
some time in looking at the springs,
cool from the rock, and drinking in
the sublimity of the scenery. | i'm
agine the scenery must have looked
more sublime when the red man pad
died his canoe unmolested, before the
Yankee came with his mill to rob the
falls of their grandeur. We crossed
the bridge over the river to Mime
apolis, which promises to be a leading
manufacturing city, visited the mills,
which seemed prospecting and promis
ing, drove down the west side of the
river by the famed Minnehaha to
Fort Smelling, took a view from the
tower, unsurpassed in grandeur,
crossed the river on a rope ferry,
came by the cave" through the city

ed that Providence has given to no
State a greater share of beauty and
grandeur than Minnesota.
This is, perhaps, as favorite resort
as any.upon the continent. Upon the
hotel records, there are representa-
tiyes of most of the States of the
Union, and many of the countries of
Europe. Hither comes the Invalid
for pure air, to keep alive the vital
spark; here, the people come to take
look at Nature in her fairest form,
unadorned by human art; hither,
come painters and poets, to gather
material for their hours.
This city, being the capital and the
head of navigation, is the most i'm
portant of the State: the citizens
look for it to become a Chicago"
when lake communications are com
pleted, but it is not probable. The
wealthy citizens are most of them
Eastern capitalists; not very many
hear of fortunes being made here, and
the importance of the place is much
over-estimated by its people; should
the Falls of the Columbia prove to be
what the correspondent, of expansive
imagination, pictures it, and western
railways succeed, the floating popula-
ton would leave here, and the quar-
ries of stone in the midst would soon
be silenced
