Farms ii the West !.

The Prairie Farmer notices some of
the larger farms now being cultivated
in the West. Broadland's, in Cham
paign county, consists of % 900 acres
and is used for stock aud corn growA
ing. 1t carries, at present. about
e, 600 head of cattle, and 5000 acres
of corn for their subsistence. Hick-
DRY Grove is the name of farm in
Benton county, Indiana, owned by
Messrs. Fowler a. Earl, embracing
$4,000 acres, entirely prairie, with the
exception ia small grove of hickory,
1900 acres of are inclosed by SUBJ
stantial board fence equal to a con-
tinuous line Of AZ miles. They have
also 20 miles of Usage hedge. There
are herded here 1000 head of cattle.
Summers farm adjoining this, con,
tains 10000 acres, and the Boswell
one, III the same neighborhood, 5000.
In the Wabashaw Valley are many
farms ranging from 1000 to 5000
acres. The former proprietor of the
Broadland's farm mentioned above,
has one in Ford county OLA 900 acres,
upon which improvements are being
pushed forward with great vigor.
Besides these there is the farm of
Mr. Sullivant of over 10000 acres,
ana one in Minnesota that we saw
noticed lately of 1900 acres. How
many more such farms there are in
the West we do not know; but we
seriously doubtsthe advantage Of such
princely farms to . free people and a
republican country.

A Panic.

The result Of the October elections
has operated like the explosion OF a
bembshell in the camp of the copper
head>rebel leaders. The Ne W York
World and the Washington lntetligen-
Ger, their leading on gans, and the lea
ders of the party at New York, are
clamorous for the withdrawal of Sey :
mour and Blair. Sepmour's letter of
withdrawal is reported to be now of
the hands of Belmont, she Chairman in
the Democratic National Committee,
which has been called together for
consultation. 1t now looks as if the
panic-strioken copperhcad party,
finding itself in extreme peril, will
determine on q change of base But
it is too late. The peoples minds
are made up, and they cannot be
humbugged by new tactics or new
standard bearers at this late day.
Democaey means rebellion and ma.
tional dishonor, and every intelligent
man understands it. A change of
name or change of leaders would
not produce change of nature.
They may demand Seymour and
Bairs withdrawal, but where will
they find men who are foolish or rash
enough to take their places? Who
would voluntarily consent to man
craft that is known to be rotten,
broken, and doomed to go down p

Substantial Fruits Of Our Victories.

at the present rate of Republican
chievements, the Senate of the Unit.
Q States will soon be almost expur-
gated of Democrats. Tennessee dis
posed Of Patterson Connecticut
discharged Dixon; Pennsylvania
gave ticket. of-leave to Buckalew,
and Indiana to Hendricks, on Tues
day and Wisconsin will Indefinite
ly THROUGH Doolittle in November.
That will leave two Democratic Sen
ators from Kentucky, one from
Maryland and one from Minnesota
four in all-the forlorn hope of the
party of revolution. Norton, of the
latter State. will doubtless be invited
to stay at home in 1871, when his
term expires.
The above substantial gains are
more than an offset for the loss of a
few Representatives. We will still
retain two thirds vote in the House,
where it will no longer be absolutely
necessary to carry measures over the
vetoes of stubborn President, for
Grant, without any policy to enforce
against the will OF the people, will
be in the White House.
