@ The Boston Herald gives ar
amusing account of the recent visit
of JEFF Davis, to Vermont, as fol.
lows: "Jeff Davis visited Stanstead
last week, and was the guest of Mr..
T. Lee Terrill. Mr.. Frederick Ter
rill, Esq, brought him from Sher-
brooke there, in very quiet man
ner, on Wednesday last, professedly
to see the country, and to consult in
regard to an investment in the gold
mines of Hatley. On Thursday, as
we learn from the Newport Yer
mont) Express, Mr.. Terrell, in his
best turnout, took jeff Davis about
the village to ride, when several in
cidents occurred not altogether
pleasing, we should imagine, to the
host or his guest. Not only boys
but men hooted at him in the street,
and greeted him with those familiar
words, 'We'll hang jeff Davis to a
sour apple tree He was frequent
ly asked where he had left his petit
coats and various like remarks
more suggestive than pleasing every
where fell upon his ear. One lady,
stung by recollections of the suffer-
ings and death of a near relative at
Andersonville, gave utterance to her
feelings by hurting stone at him.
Permission was asked that JEFF
might ride about the grounds of Mr..
Carlos Pierce, and take look at his
noted herds, but the request was
emphatically denied by Mr.. Henry
Pierce, in charge of the premises.
who declared in unmistakable Ian
guage, that in no event could JEFF

E The Mexicans are having
things all their own way now. Exc
cutions and forced loans are the order
of the day. There is but little secu-

Juarez should succeed in establish-
ing, with the aid of the Liberal party,

to the people, and in part atone for
the excesses, of which that party has
lately been guilty. Meanwhile we
nave rumors abundant of fillibuster-

from this country to take advantage
of the unsettled condition of things
now existing in Mexico. Our true
policy is now, if ever, that of ''mas-

been in this region, at least, '4ike
angels visits, few and far between. -
Mexican gossip, the tragedy OF
Maximilian. our foreign relations,
the great exposition, are topics which
are no longer new, either in daily or
weekly journals, at home, and now
that an abundant harvest has been
gathered in, it would seem as ii
people would be glad and grateful,
but no, human nature must complain,
and farmers, the most independent
and fortunate of all, complain the
loudest. ITO be sure, the loyal ones
do not complain of tares, it is only
the "coppernuts'' who do that. AS
to prices here, there is but little diff
ference, perhaps, from Gallia prices:
New potatoes, per bushel, 50 90
Wheat /" i" 200
Green corn, per doz. ears, Is
Butter, per pound, %
Flour, per barrel, IA 90
Dry goods do not by any means
keep up in proportion. The mer-
chants are looking hopefully to the
fall trade to retrieve the losses of
the summer.
AS to amusements, base ball. pic
pics and lectures, are the order of
the day. There has been quite an
influx Of female lecturers the pres
ent season, with ANNA E. DICKINSON

E Gallia County is to have q
democratic martyr" The copper
bottomed organ here has sounded the
note of preparation. One JAMES A.
PANKEY, is to be the ''honored indi-
vidual." Having a Ia Vallandigham
resisted the legal authorities Of his
country, and thereby became incar-
cerated in the Jail of the county,
and having refused to accept bail be-
cause of such "arbitrary" depriva-
ton OF his ''liberty,'' the "organ
grinder" thinks it q most glorious
chance to make a "martyr." Pankey
possesses many of the elements of
first class democratic martyr" and
we hope the ''organ grinder" will
give US both his early as well as his
late history.
We suppose the next thing in the
programme, will be call upon the
faithful for "dime'' contributions, in
aid of the canonization. This was
the mode adopted in the case of
Vallandigham, and of course, moth
ing less will be done for sour mar

chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

In spite of tie late action of
Mason County on the Railroad pro
ject, the other counties of West Vir-
ginia along the route are coming up
nobly to the work. Kanawha County
votes upon the question on The 18th
OF the present month. A series OF
public meetings are being held in all
the townships, and the county is be-
ing thoroughly canvassed by the
friends of the road. The people
there seem to be alive to the fact
that the success of this great work
now depends upon the action of the
people on the route, and are deter
mined that the five hundred thou.
sand dollars called for from Kama
wha shall be forth coming. The
great and practical question now is
to carry the road through the noun
tains to the head of navigation; that
done, the completion of the road to
the Ohio river is also secured, for
the success of the road depends upon
its being a through route to the
West. The Board of Supervisors of
Greenbrier County have ordered an
election to be held on the 24th OF
August, and from the enthusiasm
manifested at the meeting there can
be no doubt that the amount called
for from that county will be subscrib-
ed. Elections have also been order
ed in the counties of Raleigh, Wyo-
ming, Munroe, Mercer, Fayette, Lo
gan, Boone and Cabell, and the 9th
er counties called upon are moving.
A free dinner was given at Coving
ton on the 31st of July in aid of the
and the meeting was
large and enthusiastic. We under
stand that the election in Kanawha
is the first to be held, and her action
will undoubtedly largely CONTROL the
action of other counties. And from
present indications it seems beyond
question, that Kanawha will give q
decided majority "for subscription"

twice from Cheshire and distributed
it, Pankey all the while staying q,
home, and paying no attention to it
So far the citizens had taken no ac
ton either on the one side or the
other. On the 21st of February
Tate and Pankey both went to
Cheshire, and each claiming to be
postmaster, demanded the Kygel
mail of the postmaster there, who
refused to deliver it to either of them
but locked the bag and delivered il
to the regular carrier. This mail
was brought by the carrier to Kyger-
vile about o'clock P. NJ, the bag
locked, Pankey out of town with the
kee, so that the bag could not be
unlocked nor the mail distributed
Whereupon the citizens became very
much dissatisfied with Pankey, agreed
among themselves in writing, that
neither of the signers would let
Pankey have ali Office in their house
in which to keep the office. This
was all done in perfect quiet, and is
every thing which was done, looking
towards conspiracy or any other
criminal act on the part of any citi-
zens of Kygerville, or any one who
has been complained against in the
celebrated conspiracy trial at Gin
cinnati.
About o'clock on that day, Pankey
came into town with the key and wanted
Mrs. Garnett to let him open the mail in
her house, which she refused. Consid-
erably many persons had collected
around for their mail, but not more
than usual on such occasions. Consid-
cradle talk was had, and some merri-
ment was made over Pankey's awk-
ward situation, but not threat or the
least abuse of any kind was offered
him, except by a school boy who had
Just come out of school, throwing some
thing into the crowd supposed to De a rot
ten potato, but this conduct was instantly
rebuked on the part of the persons who
were assembled there. Pankey, find
ing that he could get no place to open
the mail, threw the mail bags on the
fence and left them there, and went
home. This is the head and front of
the whole affair, not one word more or
less looking towards crime can be
proved; or if proved, will be utterly
false.
There is little'doubt but that Pankey
has. to a great extent, been made
cats paw of, for the qualification of the
base, political purposes of some of the
filthy wretches about your city. They
have hept him trotting around all sum-
mer getting up subscriptions from lead
ing copperheads to assist him to carry
on the prosecution. A cause must be
very desperate when such infamous
conduct is resorted to to raise the wind
But l have spun this matter out too
long, and all will say in conclusion
is, that if the scamp who edits the Dis
patch thinks the people here shrink from
an investigation he is very much mis-
taken, as | know there is nothing which
they so much desire, and if there is no
other way of accomplishing it, l will
assure that gentleman that he will be
invited to the Courthouse to investi-
gate it at his own expense. B.

Tennessee Election-The Victo.
ry Complete and 0verwhelm-
;nr

ing.
The annual election in Tennessee,
for Governor, members of the Legis-
lature, and for members of Congress,
took place last Thursday, August
1st. The election was one. of the
most orderly ever known, and result
ed in the complete triumph of the
Brownlow, or Radical, party.
The candidates for Governor were
Brownlow and Etheridge. Brown
lows majority will exceed 10000.
The Legislature is nearly unani-
mously Radical, that party having all
the Senators, and all but half dozen
of the Representatives.
The entire Congressional delega-
tion is Republican, the State, in the
next Congress, having eight loyal
and true men to represent her, with
not one rebel or copperhead. All
hail Tennessee.
The victory was celebrated at
Knoxville on the Sd. Speeches were
made by Gov Brownlow and Horace
Maynard.
Gov. Brownlow said that his ma
jority in the State would be over for
ty thousand, and that he proposed to
bury the rebel party in coffin with
both ends open so that when the
devil went in at one end, they could
go out at the other. No promises
had been made by him or his friends
as to how long he should be Cover
nor. The Constitution did not fix
the time, and as he was called des-
pot he would be one, and be Gov
ernor for ten years, to show what he
might be.
