OJus. Owing to the high waters,
heavy rains, non-reception of the mails,
and that o,her fact that that ojus mo-

refuses to do a dispatch bushes unless
favored by the weather and much coin,
the latest news received by us hadn't
arrived up to the hoar of going to press.
This fact is or will be or not " oblivious"

AT THE CONVENTION. - We notice
the name of John Barrows, Esq, of
Oregon, among the delegates at the Cap
ital Convention, which convened at St.
Louis, Missouri, on the Goth of October.
As Mr.. Barrows did not appear in the
Convention until after an organization
had been perfected, his name did not ap-
pear in the proceedings of the first day.
We are under obligation to him for a
copy of the st. Louis Democrat,
.(thfough the politeness of Captain John
Smith), containing full report of the
proceedings of the Convention. We
should like to publish the entire pro-
cecdings, but as it would take some fif-
teen columns or more of our paper, we
can't afford to sE are the room We pub
lish the resolutions adopted by the Con-
vention in another place.
THE RAILRoAD.-From the best in
formation we have been able to obtain,
the new survey, after crossing the Cali
pooia about one hundred yards above the
old bridge, as stated last week, runs west
to the neighborhood of Mr. John Hughes
farm, where it strikes bee line " for
Harrisburg, running due south. The
last heard from the surveyors they were
campcd about nine miles from this city,
but in all probability will have reached
Harrisburg by the time this article is
read by our subscribers there.

We have to note the extreme quietness
of our town. In every department of bu.
siness there is complaint. The place seems
as much deserted as though we were visited
by some epidemic. This in a great measure
is owing to the impossible condition of the
roads. Mud holes and bog holes, are as
plenty as the leaves upon the trees, and
has been the cause of death to many a good
OK, and patient mule. Well! if the author.
ties and people are satisfied with the roads,
and are rich enough to sacrifice their work
stock upon the altar of Indifference and
sloth-we shall not complain-our office
and dwelling are near together, and we
manage to pass from n to the other, and
though we lose no cattle IN so doing We
truly pity those who are less fortunate.
