The Presidential Campaign of 1868
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting and exciting in the history of
the country. The issues to be dis
cussed and determined by the people
are Of the greatest moment to the
peace and prosperity Of the Nation.
1t is highly important that the voters
be properly informed and thoroughly
posted on the political situation. The
most effective way to accomplish this
is to place in their hands a sound and
reliable Republican newspaper.
In order to enable the active Union
men of Southern Indiana and Illinois
and Western Kentucky to secure for
the WEEKLY JOURNAL a wide
circulation in their respective neigh

TWENTY-NINE years ago Mr.. GLAD
STONE publisheda book entitled The
Church Considered in its Relat o rs
with the State, in which he strongly
commended that the State Church was
indispensable in every civilized coun-
try, and that there was something
horrible and heretical in the Volun-
tary System-which consists IN every
religions denomination supporting its
own clergy, and building and main
tanning its own places Of worship.
Now, Mr.. GLADSTONE is the cham
pion of the anti-Church party, and
has just defeated the English Premier
on the question of abolishing Church
Rites in Ireland.

FRUIT. - We conclude, from the
tone Of our exchanges and such in
formation as we can CLEAN from pri-
vate sources, that the bulk of the
peaches have been killed. In the inn
mediate vicinity of the river they
seem to have been uninjured, but in
the Interior few trees have escaped.
Ia Crawford County nearly ali were
killed. In Spencer County we hear
the same unfortunate result. At
Lafayette, Indianapolis, and Terre
Haute, the reports are all unfaYora-
BILE. At St. Louis the peaches are
reported killed. Farther south,
however, in Tennessee, the crop
promises we'll. In the neighborhood
of Memphis, frost has blighted the
fruit. In the interior Of Kentucky,
at Georgetown, Paris, and Lexington,
comes that the fruit has
been seriously damaged.
