be a good spec. for an energetic CAPT.
talist to take the Springs and revive
them. The water is good and the
situation fine, being only one fourth
of a mile from Harrisonville, a pretty
little village situated on the eastern
slope of a high ridge, overlooking the
Springs and Indian Greek.

afternoon resolved ourselves into a

on Sulphur creek. 10 the terror
and destruction of numerous minnows
and small cats.
This morning we organized an ex-
ploring party. and armed with star
candles and bludgeons, we entered
the dark recesses of Fox Cave, and
for an hour left the light of day be-
hind us. This cave beggars descrip-
ton, and can only be appreciated by
a ramble through its rocky labyrinths.
Those only who have entered such
.'holes in the walls" of nature, can
form an idea of their grandeur. This
afternoon we explored the Home
Cave, Immediately under the hill,
upon which stands the Hotel. This
cave will soon he made of easy access,
in order hat ladies may visit it and
see the million of diamond drops,
sparkling ike stars studded upon the
columns Of Felspan, that overhang
the walls of this cool retreat. To
morrow we will visit the magnesia
mines, and then for the shoals, taking
the Jay rock on the route, from
thence to French Lick. where a week
will be spent in explorations, &c,
and then for home, to again plunge
into the turmoil of city life
with renewed energy, and health
greatly improved.
If anything of interest presents it

Dull Times-The Wheat Cr0p-Poli-
tics-The Presidency-UniOn Men
Stand Firm.
CAsEYvILLE, July "a.

VASE WILLIE, uly ut.
Messrs. Editors:
Our merchants are having quite dull
times. We have never seen as little
doing. The principal reason is the
farmers are all busy getting their
wheat ready for market. Many of
them are done threashing and are de-
livering. The crop is not an average
one, either in quality or quantity
What has been sold brought from
ST. 25 to 81 40 per bushel. There are
several buyers here. We have two
mills in operation; the large and fine
mill belonging to the Conn estate has
been remodeled and is turning out
some of the best -four we have ever
had here. Corn crop promises fair.
Hay unusually good. The tobacco
crop viii be short.
Politics are all one way, and there
is not Union men enough in this vi
cinity to make a corparals guard; but
these few are Of the right stripe;
sink or swim, live or die, they
are for the old Stars and Stripes.
for Governor Morton, of Indiana. for
President, and Thad. Stevens for Vice
President. There are OF what is called
Conservatives a few. Their influences
are all in favor Of the rebs. They
can see DO good in the Radicals and
no fault to find with the defunct
rebel government, or living rebels.
The rebel democracy are just as bitter
against the government now as they
were four or five years ago.. 1t seems
they are determined to have Kentucky
reconstructed, and God knows she
needs it, if any State South
of her did. They advise their
friends to go to the polls and
vote the rebel Democratic ticket for
ali officers. We were told one of
them, a candidate for Office, said the
way to keep the Yankees down was
to stand over them with a stick.
The real Union men say but little,
unless a rebel is insulting in his re-
marks. Then he is told what he
thin ks of rebel Democracy generally.
WeShave no county candidates, and
think the vote for State officers will
be light.

Editors Journals:
We to-day received the sad intelli-
gence OF the assassination and death
OF one Of the worthy citizens of Hop
kins County. | speak Of Mr.. VIM.
Peyton, who resided about ten miles
from this place, near Nebo. He was
shot while N his door, about Z o'clock
this morning. The cowardly rascal
who perpetrated the vile deed was un-
seer at the time, and has not yet been
detected. Mr.. Peyton was formerly a
member of the Seventeenth Ken
lucky Cavalry, but since the war has
remained d quiet, peaceful and indus
trious farmer. He was ever an ardent
friend Of his country, and was bold
aud outspoken in defence Of the po-
~litical principles that he advocated.
His death will be greatly lamented by
his friends and relatives, and he
leaves behind a family who looked
alone to him for support.

people of this place on yesterday. The

Democracy imported q of their
champions to meet him here. / speak
of the Hon. Harvey Yeamau, of Hen
derson. Capt. Roark very courteous
ly declined speaking, that MI. Yea
man might have full time to answer
Mr.. Brown. The agreement was that
Brown should speak M hour, and
Yeaman an hour and a half, after
which Mr.. Brown would have half an
hour to reply. Quite a respectable
crowd assembled, and Mr.. Brown in
the short space of an hour made one
tative speeches ever delivered in this
place. Mr.. Yeaman, the boosted
champion of the Democracy, with all
his massive eloquence. was inadequate
to the task of refuting the powerful
and logical argument made by the
young Radical orator. The RAIDS"
felt that they had won a most COM
plcte triumph. and were really glad
that the patent Democracy were rep
resented.
Mr.. Brown, in his reply, overturn-
ed in a very few words the whole
argument made against him. He is
bold. fearless and outspoken in enun-
eating the great principles OF his
party, and shows plainly to the most
simple mind that the course of Con-
gress is sustained and justified by all
history precedent, and by the decis-
ions of the Supreme Court of the
United States.
After the conclusion of Mr.. Browns
reply, a certain gentleman from Hen
derson. by the name of Taylor, got up
to pour out and diffuse some of his
Democratic wisdom. He stated that
be did not wish to reply II Mr.. Brown
which was very appropriately said,
as he did not possess the ability
but simply arose at the special re-
quest of friends. He had scarcely
prefaced his address, however, before
he commenced to answer, or rather
attempted to answer, some of the
points made by MI. Brown. Had it
been supposed that he would have
spoken, Capt. Roark would have been
ready for him, and no doubt he
(Taylor) would have departed from
our town feeling equally as green as
he appeared.
The speakers all went from this
place to Greenville, where they speak
to-day. ky"

The Secretary of the Treasury in
answer to a resolution transmitted to
the Senate the following letter:
SECOND AUDITORS OFFICE,
June z, 1867.
SIR: In reply to your request for
information whether any means car
be adopted to expedite the payment
of bounties provided by the act, ap-
proved July %, 1866, [ have the honor
to report that every possible effort
has been made by this office to has
ten the settlement of this class of
claims, aud that there are as many
clerks engaged in the examination of
rolls and final statements as can be
safely and profitably employed"
After further remark the Auditor
says:
There are upon an average thirty
thousand rolls at the Comptroller's,
with accounts, which have been set
tied at this Office and sent there
for revision and confirmation.
During the year ending June 80,
1867, there were settled in this Office
eighty-six thousand six hundred and
eighty-one claims Of soldiers, or their
heirs; D hundred and twenty-five
thousand six hundred and forty Ger
tifcates furnished, after examination
Of the rolls, to the Paymaster Gen
eral, and eight thousand FIVE hundred
aud sixty to the Commissioner of
Pensions-equivalent 10 the settle
ment OF two hundred and twenty
thousand eight hundred and eighty
one claims involving the use OF the
rolls.
There are now forty-fve clerks
constantly employed in searching
rolls and preparing certificates for
the Paymaster General and the Com
missioner of Pensions.
During the months of last April,
May, and June, the number Of certif-
Gates furnished to the Paymaster Gen
eral was 38,080, being an average of
1858 per month.
The number of claims of heirs
and discharged soldiers received in
this Office for settlement during the
year ending June 30, 1867. was 235,-
431, a very large proportion of which
were based upon the resolution
Of July 10Th, 1866, granting
bounty to colored soldiers, and
tne act Q l Fouiy loth, 1000, giving
additional bounty to heirs. 1t became
necessary to reduce the ordinary set
Ting force of this Office to take charge
of the registering, briefng, filing, and
examination Of this large accession
Of claims; and as more than half of
themrWe ~imperfectly prepared, the
labor has been largely increased, and
it was not until June last that it was
possible to commence their settle
ment. In the course of a couple of
months they will probably be settled
at the ate of fifteen thousand per
month, and, if possible, the number
of settlements will be increased"
