Navigation of RaccOOn.
After so long a time, am glad to
see, in your paper, proposition to
render your river navigable for
boats and RATS. My friend, the late
Judge JONES, of Macarthur, moOted
the project twenty-five years ago;
like other far seeing men, he was
"ahead of his times" and was only
ridiculed for the suggestion. So it
was with STEPHENSON, when he ap-
piled the principle of friction, in
gravitation, to propulsion by steam.
Such is the need, accorded by the
"wise in their own conceit," to
adopts and experimentalists in all
branches of science. Judge JONES
was not so far in advance of the
tait accOmpli as Job was in predic-
ting the magnetic telegraph!
My jocose, not to say profane,
friend BOND, Of the Athens MeSsen-
ger, thinks Raccoon is worthy, per-
haps, of "a single d-nw MIR. B.
should look at the map ofyour State.
He may see that your river is one
OF the largeststreams emptying in
to the Ohio on its northern side,
between the Muskingum and the
Scioto. The classic Hockhocking,
(classic, from the Ohio University
and the modern Athens, with her
Socrates and Pericles, is hardly
more considerable.-Like the
stream just named it Is an indepen.
dent river, draining from 1000 to
1900 square miles of territory with
important branches, fed by the
drainage of mum berless vallies.-
Raising principally in the great con-
glomerate rock which underlies the
coal formation, the RacCoon flows in
a course mainly southwark, though
very sinuous, through the bltumin-
GUS and irOn-producing districts,
crossing some of the richest ore
and coal beds in the country. All
the way, from above Zaleski to its
mouth, it runs through a mineral

Democratic Meeting.

On last Saturday, Judge Thur
man delivered,as we are told,a very
satisfactory address to the Democ,
racy. We are told, he ably proved
the existence of monstrous frauds
and peculations on the part of the
Republicans, and denounced these
acts on the part Of any men in any
party. We thought, when his re-
marks were reported to us, that he
was hitting some of our Democrtic
brethren, who were present, some
pretty hard raps. That's the kind
Of talk that suits US, and Judge
Thurman is not the man to mince
words in denOuncing dishonesty.
But we thought his rule would ap-
ply to some OF our clique, who were
Managing Directors of the late
County Convention of Vinton. No
difference: the people Of our county
know that the Judge was not aware
of the true situation in Vinton.
Some of our Democrats wondered
if some other so-called Democrats
would not apply these reflections to
themselves. Mr.. Putnam, of the
Chillicothe Advertiser, followed
Judge Thurman in a speech, and at
the Court House in the evening
Mr.. Golden of Athens and Mr.. A.
Mayo spoke. We were kept away
by illness, and hence have but few
remarks to make. The meeting
was yarlously estimated at from
2OOO to 5000 persons. We judge
from appearances in town that
there were about 2000 to $500 per-
sons present.

Our connection with the VintOn
Record ceases with this number
Mrs. BRATToN has sold the press to
Mr.. JOIN 7. RAPER lately connect
ed with the Scioto Gazette, Chilli
cothe, who will convert the Record
into Republican paper. 1t is a
fact too well known to our Demo
cratic friends to need argument,
that two Democratic papers could
not pay their way in Vinton coun-
ty, We pass this over with the
simplsStatement, that duty to our
family and friends requires us not
to incur an expenditure that would
not be self-sustaining, in our pres
ent circumstances. The causes
which led to the disposal of the
press, you are all aware Of, to wit:
the withdrawal CT all the official
support from this paper in the hands
of the officers of the party that you
and l, and this press, have At all
times labored to support and elect.
All parties must learn to nomi-
nate and elect men in whom they
can place their reliance; and, more
especially, must we ferret out and
guard any party, by exposing pee
ulations and illegal acts on the
part Of our officials upon the peo-
pies treasury. 1t makes no differ
ence to the taxpayers or the debt
ors who swindles the people, if
they have to be taxed for the thou
sands Of dollars that the people
are robbed of, whether the thief be
a Republican or Democrat. 1t
makes no difference to the voter
whether an illegal act is done by a
Republican or Democrat. And it
is a strange theory in political
economy, and a lar stranger logic,
that the same illegal act should not
be condemned alike in Republican
or Democrat. For our part, we
vote for a man expecting he will
faithfully and to the best of his
ability discharge his trust, under
the Constitution and laws. If he
does not do this,-it is our duty and
your duty to expose any and all of
his illegal acts, be they what they
may, and not stop to enquire if he
is a Democrat OF Republican.
We dare any man to come out |
over his cwn signature, and point I.
out wherein we have abandoned
any principle of the Constitution,
or violated the laws, or decisions of
our courts, Or any principle of the
Fathers of the Republic. D.
We care nothing about this per
sonal matter with some of our own
party, but for the masses of our
people and truth we do care
Hence we expect to be with you in
the future, as we have been in the
past. We expect to remain in Vim |

EDWIN NJ. STANTON, having wait
ed for the executive boot to re-
move him from the War Office, has
at last received the kick which he
deserved to have gotten some time
ago. The President, yesterday
morning, informed him that his
functions as Secretary of War were
suspended, and instructed him to
turn over the books, records, &c,
in his custody, to General Grant,
who will act ad interim. Mr.. STAN
TON does not seem to take the Or
der suspending him very kindly,
and intimates pretty broadly that
he gives up the Office simply be-
cause he cannot help it. General
GRANT took possession of the De.
partment, and attended a Cabinet
meeting in the afternoon.

" altham, Mass.

TINS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and
their factory now covers foui acres Of ground,
and has cost moro than millio dollars, and
employs over 700 operatives: They produce
1907 Watches year, and make and sell not
less than one half Of all the watches sold in tho
United States:
The difference between their manufacture and
The European, is briefly this: European Watch

which is Indispensable to correct time keeping.
Both the eye and the hand of the most skillful

cept watches of the higher grades, European

The American Waltham Watch is made by

rations, from the reception of the raw materials
to the completion Of tho watch, IRE carried on

SIipht Mistake.

The mild and amiable John C. Lee, the
Radical nominee for Lieutenant-govCrpor Of
Ohio says:
AIN September, Of 1862, came the Pres
dents notice of emancipation, and the Dem.
ocratic party laughed at it, and called it a
bull against comet"
There is little mistake here, which Mr.
Lee will probably thank US for correcting
1t was the late lamented" old father Abra
ham, whom he says was inspired by God,
who said the proclamation was "a Pope's bull
against the comet, and not the Democratic
party who used the phrase. We protest
against Mr.. Lee robbing dead saint Of his

region known 10 be productive to
an exhaustless extent, the resources
ofwhich have barely been slapped"
as yet, The construction of the M.
d @. Railroad across this region at
once gave rise and operation to six
or eight new blast pig iron furnaces
and the proposed improvement of
Raccoon would open sites for more.
For much OF its course, the stream
now passes through the primitive
forest, abounding in timber of fine
qualities and in all variety indigen-
ous to the climate. Those who
properly estimate the privileges of
living in and forming a part of a
great free State like that Of Ohio,
with all its laws and institutions
on the most liberal and enlighten-
ed scale, would soon flock in and
settle on its banks with fourishing
farms and villages, if only first class
access to the great commercial
thoroughfares were offered them.
The two questions which ought
to settle the expediency of the pro-
posed work must both be answered
in the affirmative, viz:
lis it practicable?
2-Would it pay?
AS to the first, there is plenty of
water; regular deep stream bed;
and abundance of wood and stone
conveniently offered for the con-
sEuction.
AS to the other, the advance
mSnt in the value of the lands
alone in the vicinity of the stream,
1 would probably repay the eXpend-
iture necessary for the work.
In fact, it is so often the case that
land owners and farmers profit so
much more from railroads, canals
and turnpikes, than any other of in,
terest, that they ought to defray
the cost of such improvements, to
a great extent, to the exclusion of
all Others. Fol example, the farms
in Green and Fayette counties,
Penn, rendered productive and ac-
ceSslble by la3kwatering the Mon
ongahela river, are now cheap 9t
500 per acre; whereas, before that
improvement was completed, they
were hardly worthy owning south
of the line Of the National Road.
There is much to be said in favor
of the proposed improvement
Wether it can be effected under the
rather lmpracticable Constitution
Of Ohio, remains to be seen. Its
Responsiveness ought, however, to
warrant trial. The press is most
usefulin concentrating public opin-
ion as to given project, and in in.
dicating ways and means. But the
press cannot do all. Somebody
must put his hand in his pocket.
There are capitalists enough inter
ested in the proposed navigation
scheme, to give it the next twelve
month. Let some public spirited
citizen bring about a consultation
among these parties. The more
they examine the subject, the more
the work will commend itself to
their hands. Coal, iron and salt can
be found nearly all along Raccoon.
They will be wanted some day.

The American Watch Company, Of Waltham
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, moro accurate, less complex, moiy
durable, better adapted for general use, and
mere easily kept in order and repaired than
any other watches in the market. They are
simpler in structure, and ther efore stronger,
and less likely to be injured than the majority
of foleign watches, whicn arc composed Of
from 1876 to 800 pieces, while in an old English
watch there are moro than 700 parts. How
they run under the hardest trial watcnes can
have, is shown by the following letter;
