GUBERNAT0RIAL.

The following is from the Berlin Cour-
ant, and will do to be remembered:
''We now come to our candidate, the
Hon. A. N. Tompson editor ofthe James
vile Gazette, and for the two last sessions
Speaker Of the lower House ofour legisa-
ture, a gentleman of scholarly attain
ments, clear and logical writer, man
who has worked long and hard for the
best interests Of the State both in sea-
son and out, man with large soul and
deep sympathy for suffering humanity,
man who is not afraid to espouse and
labor tor the people against the united
efforts of powerful organizations, man
who is imbued with the overshadowing
Importance of internal improvements to
build up our State. Mr. Tompson has
risen to his present enviaDle position by
persistent hard work
His editorial career commenced in
the publication Of a paper at Hartford in
this State In the interests of the Farm
Mortgagers. for whom no paper at that
time dared to speak as against the rail
roads. In this work Mr.. L. gained many
lifelong friends He afterwards went to
GAINESVILLE where he still resides.
Coming from the laboring class, Mr..
lOLlpSo Has always DcCn III tile closest
sympathy with the people, and has al
ways proven himself their strongest
friend. The time has come when iast
such a man is needed at the helm of the
State. The next four or FIVE years are to
be memorable for the undertaking, if not
completion of one Of the grandest works
of the age, by the State of Wisconsin,
and we need man of the people, man
of large administrative and executive
ability, and we confidently believe that
man is A. NJ. Tompson.
"We have no fault to find with Gov.
Fairchild, Or with Gen Smith, nor yet
with Mr.. Van Wyck, but the two former
received their second nomination at the
last Republican State Convention with
the tacit if not expressed understanding,
that at the next Convention there was to
be a new set of officers nominated, And,
as between Messrs. Vau Wyck, and
Tompson it is only necessary to say that
the first is a representative Of the aris-
tocracy, while Mr. Tompson is a man of
the people who has been tried and found
true. and ofwhom his own County speaks
in the loudest praise"

ATLANTA, Ga. June 80, 1869.

ATLANTA, GA, June 80, 1869.
We remained in Aiken, South Carolina,
two days, but did not find the place all
that we expected. Most of the property
that was advertised so cheap had either
been sold or withdrawn from market
This village Is small, having population
of about two thousand, majority of
which are "colored individuals" As
far as business is concerned, there is but
little doing now and the prospects for a
very great increase are not flattering.
During the winter months the town is
very lively, on account of its being made
fashionable resort for the rich, just what
Long Branch and Saratoga are during
the summer. The fact that there has
been much property sold here, is the
result of the healthfulness of the climate
and the enterprise displayed by half
dozen or more Physicians in advertising
the place. But the reader will inquire,
if the place is so healthy, why are there
so many Physicians? This is very easily
explained. These medical men have
formed stock company, and are about
erecting large hospital, capable of ac-
comodating two or three hundred pa
tients. This hospital will be especially
for the treatment of lung diseases. for
which the climate is we'll adapted. About
all the property that has been sold was
purchased by eastern men and nonresi-
dents-that is, they will only live here
during the winter months This will not
benefit the town a great deal in business
point of view. 1t will make things lively
for about three months, and the hotels
and boarding houses will derive about all
the benefit. In fact it seems that this is

MADISON CORRESPONDENCE.
MADISON. July 9TH Is

1ADlSONJ July I'll 1oO5.
EDS TRIBUEE The Dane County
Stock Company is just now engrossing
the attention of lovers of stock. And in
order to make it more convenient for
those wishing to purchase and dispose of
stock, Fairs are being held every month.
To make these Fairs more attractive there
are quite variety of trotting, and run
ming races, and those who are fond of fast
horses will have an opportunity to en-
JOY themselves as several of the best
horses in the State are on hand for the
races at the Driving Park.
Friday last was to have been grand
holiday for the school children of Madison.
A Forest Pic mic to round off the term
was announced. The place designated for
it to be held was on the back grounds of
the University. The music boys tighten
cd their suspenders and drum straps
the ambitious girls had tearfully entreat
ed their mothers to 'do up their muslin
dresses, and help them prepare pies and
cakes for the occasion, which OF course
they did readily. The great day opened
tolerably well, and every patch of sun
shine was hailed with the ''UiUasP' OF the
youngsters. Of course it wouldn't rain.
so thought they all. The Steamers Ciy
of Madison and Capito3a having been en-
gagged for the occasion, arrived at the
time appointed, and having laden them
selves with their precious burden steamed
up the river to the place at which the
pic mic was toIbe held Arriving there they
quickly deposited their load of boys, girls,
sweetmeats, etc. 1t was beautiful spec
tacle to behold. The teachers and girls
were arrayed mostly in white. There
were no umbrellas to cast their baleful
spell over the pleasant scene. Suddenly
when the revelry was at its height, and
ali enjoying themselves, shower of rain
came down upon them and ma,red the
pleasantness which had but just COM
menced. Tho boys made for barn a
short distance off, and some of the girls
made tents of their table-cleths, but gen.
orally each teacher took her respective
brood under her care until the rain had

about all the people depend upon for
their living the balance of the year.
There is light sandy soil in and for
many miles surrounding Aiken. The
inhabitants do not claim it very good for
agricultural purposes, though the soil
does much better than one would think
1t possible that it could do. On the lower
lands cane and Gotten does remarkably
we'll Potatoes, both ''Sweet" and Irish"
seldom, if ever, fail. There is but very
little wheat raised around here We saw
one small lot harvested which was Of
about as fine quality as we have ever
seen. The soil seems to be we'll adapted
for almost every kind of fruit, but espec-
tally the grape. During our stay here,
we visited the plantation of Mr.. Derby,
formerly of New York city, who purchas-
ed about eight hundred acres and settled
here just after the close of the war. Fe
has about four hundred acres under cul-
tivation, good share Of which is in fruit.
His peach and apple orchard contains
$4,000 trees, and his vineyard 10000
vines. The grapes we're nearly ripe, and
the vines hang ''chucked full" He has
four or five varieties, all of which are
doing well. The arbor that supports his
"scuppernongs" is three quarters of a
mile in length. This grape is principally
used in the manufacture of wine. Mr..
ID. has also $50 acres of cotton under
cultivation, besides many kinds of vege-
tables, &c. He employs thirty ''darkies"
who work faithfully at the rate of from
Sl2 to SIC per month. Mr.. Derby is
farming it on large scale and on scientific
principles, and making money fast.
After leaving Aiken we returned to
this city which is one of the best business
places in the South. For the want of
room will have to defer description of
the same, until my next letter.
The weather has been very warm ever
since our arrival in the 'Sunny South. -
The thermometer has ranged from 90 to
96 in the shade every day. Southerners
inform US that it is about as warm as they
generally have it. OCCASIONAL.

for home having had good wetting.
There has been Society got up by
the ladies at this place for the purpose of
providing homes for poor, homeless,
friendless girls, which is just the kind of
thing we have been in need of for some
time.
Mrs. O'Donovan, the wife of the well
known Irish patriot has arrived in this
city and gave us one of her readings in
the City Hail. Mrs. O'Donovan's literary
talent is characterized as type of beauty
and perfection, and in all places where she
has spoken and also here. has been highly
recomm ended, and cannot be excelled by
many ladies now in the literary world.

The Neacs, of this city, in endorsing
the nomination of Gen. Rosecrans as
democratic candidate for Governor Of
Ohio, says =
In view of the fact that in 1862 the re-
publican legislature of Ohio passed
vote of thanks to the General for his
gallantry In the war, the radical papers
dare not, withUu. sultifying them
selves, take up the hatchet again
him."
In view of the fact thai tie News and
democratic journals generally, during the
war, took up ''the hatehet' not only
against Gen. Rosecrans but against all
who were fighting earnestly for the over
throw of the rebellion, the democratic
party can not support him or any other
good soldier for Office without stultify-
ing themselves" But as consistency is
not one of the virtues of the democracy,
it is not surprising that the Neacs and its
political yoke-fellows are bristling with
the most glowing panegyrics upon the
gallantry and patriotism displayed by
Gen. Roseerans in his military career.
We are not sorry that the democracy can
now speak SO highly of one who fought
hravely for the Union we only wish
that they had conceived this admiration
sooner BY some eight years. Wisconsin.
