IVY propose to make an arrangement with w some responsible business party in every town in the United States to act as agent for distributing our pure teas and coffees in their locality, at our warehouse prices. Our profits are very small, and the commission allowed cannot be large; but as our agents are required to run no risk. and to assume no responsibili- tty whatever, it is certain and sure, aside from the fact that the sale of our excellent goods at our extremely low prices, proves a powerful at traction to draw custom, and thus increase the trade Tn other goods, in which agents deal. ]. Inc party controlling our goods will monopo- iize tfe tea and Coffee trade in his town. Full l:a in:Iormation will be given upon early applica-

BLOOMING ORoVE, SEPT. z3, 1868.
Dear American,-I sit down this morn-
Ing to drop few hasty lines to tell you
how things look up here. The prospects
are that we will all be at our posts at the
right time. Although late in forming
our Grant & G olfax Club here, the boys
have gone TO work with will, and
we are now making every effort to be in
uniform for to morrow. The greatest en-
thusiasm seems to prevail among all, old
and young, male and female. The ladies
God bless themD are busy making pants
aud caps for the boys, and IL there arc
not few weddings after this, why will
say that several young men ought to be
obliged to make their own clothes here
after.

Comm municated.
Justice Tardy, but Nevertheless Jus.


Mr.. Edtor,-Our Board Of County
Com missioners have at last come to the
conclusion to do an act Of long delayed
justice to large number Of our tax pay
ers residing in the Southern part of Out
County, and especially to those who re.
side on the West side Of White Water
River, in White Water, Highland, Butler
and Ray Townships. The great necessity
of a safe bridge somewhere in the lower
part Of the County has long been expe-
rienced by our German farmers and mer.
chants in Highland, Ray and Butler es.
pecialy. Cincinnati being the most con
yenient market for these people, they nat
urally sought the safest aud best crossing
to the pixies aud railroad on the East side
of the river, aud the. travel aud trade
found its outlet near the South line Of our
County, at or near New Trenton.
Much feeling has been enlisted in op-
position to this location for the bridge,
aud though the majority Of the Board
have been in favor OF building bridge ut
this location ever since the election of
Mr.. Nicholas Bath, yet the opposition to
the measure have resorted to every means
in their power to prevent its 6nal con.
summation. An injunction suit was
brought against the Commissioners to re-
strain them from building bridge at
this location. But our Circuit Court de-
cided the Injunction in fas or of the Com
missioners. Rival locations were select
ed aud hundreds OF names procured aud
signed to petitions-names of persons re- :
siding In remote parts Of the County in
opposition to this work, and various meas
ures To stave off the natter. The people
10 the South part OF the County all the
time relying upon the justice of their
cause, well knowing that justice, though
tardy In her movements, would come at
last. We had quietly submitted to be
heavily taxed to build pixies, railroad and
other improvements in other parts of the
County, and were all the time subjected
to loss of many lives and large amounts
OF property In getting to and from mar
ket, until our satferiugs in this matter
became absolutely unbearabie.
We feel under especial obligations to
the honorable gentlemen OF the Board
who have favored this movement of JUS
tice. Messrs. Moore aud Bath are en-
titled to, and will receive the thanks of
the present and future generations for
the liberal Advancement Of this object
by their making an appropriation of S25,-
QUO for the building OF the bridge. This
will add very materially to the advance
ment Of real estate on the West side of
the river, which, in consequence of its
inaccessbiity to market, has been rated
very low When this bridge is built, we
shall feel thar we do acz--7 is's our fioes eU-
ery time we want to 60 10 market. After
this bridge is completed, we have no OBJ
jections to the building of others at Cedar
Grove, Brookville, Fairfield, Laurel aud
Metamora-one or two each year, as the
welfare of the people may demand, or
their means, without too high taxes, may
allow. Thanks for our two liberal mind
ed Commissioners Moore aud Bath, and
woe to the politicians who may oppose
these works of improvement.
Yours truly,
HIGHLAND AND WHITE WATER.
