To the Cttizens of Indiana.
Ii is the object of the State Board of Ag-

interests of the State and not alone the
agricultural. To this end they invite the
cooperation of all who can in any way
contribute TO the advancement of her ma
terial prosperity.
The rooms OF the Board in the State
House have been newly and handsomely
fitted up and furnished with cases for the
reception of such specimens Of soils, marls,
clays, building and other useful stones,
ores, Goals, fossils, and in fact every dcs-
cription of geological or other specimens
that may serve to enlightcn not only our
own citizens but also the vast number of
persons from other States who visit them,
as TO our great mineral resources.
We invite contributions of geological
specimens accompanied by statement of
the location and situation, with reference
To The underlying and everything soils.

material circumstances rs the quality and
quantity: also specimens of manufactured
iron. hydraulic and quick lime, fire brick,
tile and other clay wares, &c, &c, with
the donors name and the name of the per
son or firm II manufacturing the same.
BY this means we expect TO arrest the
attention of capitalists and artisans To the
immense undevelIoped sources Of wealth
in which the State SO richly abounds and
thus invite them hithcr TO invest their
means and skill.
Our sister States west OF us with no
greater advantages of SOIL climate or min
cral wealth, are making gigantic strides in
growth. both Of population and wealth. by
the interchangeable persistence with which
all the resources they Ito possess is ''kert
before the people" and thus capital ard
skilled labor are induced TO go to them,
while we, for want of such effort, leave
our vast agricultural and mineral resources
unknown and unworkcd.
Small Specimens may be sent by mail
and large ones by express at the expense
of the Board. Very large specimens are
not desirable. except when necessary to
show some fossil or other formation as a
whole. Very Respectfully.

Next Saturday the Republican Co.
Ticket will be nominated After the
nomination it is the duty of every
Republican in Marshall County to 60
TO work to secure the election ofour
entire county ticket. Now is the
time to organize, and begin the cam
paign. We should not wait until the
Democracy find out what their princi-
pies are at their National Convention,
and until they organize and place
their ticket in the field. Grant sand
Colfax Clubs should at once be or
ganized in every township in the
county, and placed in entire working
order before the meeting of the De
mocratic National Convention. If
every township in our county will
begin active work Immediately, and
work on until the very day of the
election, we have hopes of carrying
Marshall for the Republican ticket
Victory will never come without
work.

EDITOR REPUBLIeAN-It seems
that my remarks in the REPUBLICAN,
of the 9th inst, in regard to the
thing that edits the Democrat, has
stirred the animal up slightly, and
he barks back furiously, like any
other little dog would when chased
into his masters yard or under his
house. lie calls me O ''brainless cur
and "past one-horse harness maker,
and present two-horse scavenger and
cats paw fer the REPUBLICAN," Is
not that terrible But / console
myself with the reflection that / am
at least on par with a witless
Ourang Outang and one-mule editor.
He thinks his brother Dan terrible
fellow, and capable of defending
himself from the attacks of all com
ers. The public, however, have an
indistiuct recollection Of n personal
controversy between Dannie and a
gentleman who formerly resided in
this place. which Dannie himsclfpro-
voked, and in which it was generally
conceded by both sides that Dannie
came OF second best. At least he
wilted like scalded cabbage leaf,
and appealed to his brethren for pro
lection.
/ have no desire, Mr.. Editor, to
continue personal controversy with
the editor of the Democrat or his big
and terrible brother Dan, and did
not provoke it i'm the first instance,
as am aware you can ill your space
with matter more agreeable to your
taste; but the young upstart who
controls the editorial columns Of the
Democrat must be taught flat others
can use adjectives as well as himself.
Whatever itching for notoricty ii.
B. may possess, he does not expect
to attain it at the expense of both
decency and truth, and in this respect
he differs from the editor of the De-
MORA! and his big and terrible broth
er Dan. Il. BAYLOR.

remain in the field are Gen. Jasper
Packard, and Charles Cathcart, of
LaPortc, Aaron Quincy, Of yalpa-

Mr.. Keith of Rochester. General
Packard, prior to moving to LaPorte
resided in this county, and is we'll

The indications now are that
Marshall county will give her vote
Sor General Packard, and his chances
for the nomination are certainly
much better than that Of any other
candidate. The last Republican
State Convention recognized his abil
ity as an orator by choosing him as
one Of the Presidential Electors. He
has been identified with the Republi

in nominating him We place no new

GrasshOppers.

We learn from the Davenport (Iowa)
Gazette, that the Grasshoppers are quite
numerous in that State. The grasshopper
crop in the vicinity of Dcs Moines will at
the present time yield full forty bushels to
the acre; but when they have attained their
full size, the crop will average eighty bush
c:s. They are making their way eastward
at the rate of four miles day. The little
rascals are not at all dainty about their
food. but relish dog fennel and smartweed
with perfect gusto. Many farmers are
disheartencd at the prospect of losing
their crops. and many talk of selling on,
unless The plague is stayed

We make this extract from the New
York EUeni,ag Post:
Gen. Grant said in our hearing not long
ago: ''The rebels we whipped, as it was
our duty to do; they fought US brayely, and
l, for one, have no spite against them. II
they behave themselves / shall think well
of them. But the Copperheads and peace
men of The North-thc men who during
the war, reviled the soldiers, encouraged
the enemy, aid did their utmost to stop
supplies and reinforcements to our boys IN
front-such men l cannot forgive; L wi =
never forget them, nor have anything to
do with HEM"

Gen. Grant.

is III any wonder tnat the SOlulerS
over our entire country are declaring
with a unanimity never before known
in the history of our nation, for
Grant for President, when We remem-
Der that he was i'm command of all
the great armies that composed the
Grand Army Of the Union; and that
he was personally known and adj
mired by the soldiers that composed
those Great Armies, who not only
admired his great military talent, but
with alacrity obeyed his every order.
To the Army of the Tennessee, per-
haps, is the fame Of General Grant
more dear than to any of the other
great army's; the soldiers who COM
posed this noble veteran army, at
the name of Grant, remember with
pride the glorious days of Fit Donald
son, Shiloh, Champion Hills and
Vicksburg. The soldiers who
composed this victorious army had
discovered the military genius of
Grant ere the strategical movement
in the rear Of Vicksburg, and they
will ever remember, with pride, the
marches, privations, battles, and the
victories of the Army of the Ten
nessee. Never was Grants ability
questioned by the Veteran Army of
the Cumberland after the battle of
Chattanooga. for Grants movements
there in turning the right and left
TANKS of the rebel army by Sherman
and Hooker. and then massing and
throwing forward the heavy columns
Of the Army of the Cumberland, I'M
der Thomas, through and over
shclming the rebel center, forever
indelibly impressed on the mind of
every soldier composing thethc three
Union armies that attacked Bragg;
that the plan and execution of the
battle of Chattanooga cxcelled any
thing that they had ever seen, or
read of in the history Of war. The
Army Of the Potomac, which had so
often met with defeat ut the hands Of
Lee, under Grant marched and fought
with desperate bravery the bloodiest
battles of modern times, and gained
one victory after another until Lee
lay PROSTATE with his army, under
their victorious banners. The sol
diers OF the Union Army will ever
remember that while Grant was in
command Of the Army OF the Ten
nessee, the Generals of the other
Armies were engaged in Count Mar
tialing and shooting their own sol
diers fore cowardice and desertion,
while Gen. Grant never had q soldier
shot for dcsertion. They al so re-
member that while other Generals
were neglected. as to their rations
and clothing, Grant always fed and
clothed his Army rs well as the cir
cumstances would permit. The sol
dicrs Of the last war believe, rs the
soldiers Of tie Revolution did con-
corning Gen. Washington; they cor
rectly believe that a General that
had shown such military capacity
and patriotism as Gen. Washington
should be made President; and the
soldiers Of the late war intend, with
the assistance of all the Union poo
pie that sustained them and the
Goyernm ent during the long four
years they were fighting for the ex-
istcnce of our Republic, to elect
Gen. Grant President.

We clip the following complimentary
notices from our exchanges.

We Sip TIC ioHoMinx complimentary
notices from our exchanges.
Mr.. 1. AIatiingly, long editor and propri-
etor of the Marshall County Republican,
has disposed Of that institution, Mr.. Por-
ter Pomercy being the purchaser. We are
acquainted with Nr. Pomeroy, and know
him to be an energetic goahead young
man, and have no doubt but that he will
make lively, wide-awakc paper of the
RepubticdR.-M. Joseph Register.
The Marshall County RcpuJlcan of
last week contains the valedictory of lis
veteran editor, l. Mattingly, who for the
last twelve years has controlled its col
umns. Mr.. Porter Pomeroy, having pur-
chased the Office, takes control ofthe paper
this week. We regret to part company
with FRIEND Mattingly. The editorial fra
ternity of Northern Indiana will miss him.
May success attend him in whatever call
he may adopt in future.-Northcra Ladi-
dai0n.
The Plymouth Republican has changed
hhnds--the old and well known editor and
proprietor, Col. /. Mattingly, rcti,ing-the
Office having been bought by Porter Pom
eroy, late of Valparaiso. Mr.. Pomeroy is
capital printer. and the paper will not be
permitted to dcterioratc mechanically,
though it would be hard TO improve its APP
pearance. The new editor has not yet
been announced.
Vhc wellknown relationship existing
between the late proprietor of the Repub-
ticdn and ourselves prevents US from
speaking of him personally, as our enco-
miums might be regarded as partaking OF
self praise. But of the history of the pa
per we can speak, though we cannot dc
pict the opposition it has encountered and
surmounted. 1T is the browning glory of
the Republicans of Marshall county that
their local paper has been maintained on a
sound financial basis without the help of
public patronage or private donations,
while in no county in 1.-The district does a
Democratic paper pay expenses unless it
has the public printing. The RcpubH
can has been struck by blasts that would
have sunk stauncher barks had there been
a faltering band at the helm or timid
crew on board. The hopes Of the Dcmoc-
racy have often been excited by the belief
that the concern was about to perish, but
it has recovered itself each time, and such
periods were marked by improvements in
the pager. Col. Mattingly has published
the RelublicaR for almost twelve years,
and in that time has enlarged the sheet 10
tic full capacity fihe press, besides using
a smaller size of type than is commonly
employed in country papers. Its mecEan,
zeal execution has always been perfect, and
dead advertisements were never allowed 10
usurp the place of reading matter. The
Office Is one OF the best we know of in re-
spec, to style oftype, and capacity for job
work. The labor and energy that have
been expended in bring it up TO iispresent
standard of excellence would have made
a much larger business in a more favora-
bic locality.
We wish the new proprietor. Mr.. Pomc
roy. abundant success. and hope he will
find smoother seas and faircr winds than
have been experienced by his predecessor.
