Letter from Illinois.

MAsoN CITY, Ill, Oct Both, 1859.
Editors Fayette County Hetdld'
1t may be of some interest to
your numerous readers to learn
something in regsrd to the general
affairs in Suckerdom.
This State has made rapid strides
in the march of Improvement, The
wild prairies have been brought un-
der state of cultivation, and now
yield q rich reward to the husband
man.
Numerous and extensive mines
of coal lie imbedded in the earth
sufficient to meet the wants of the
public. Railroads traverse the State
in every difection,so that the people
Ofalmost every county have ready
and convenient market for thslr
produce. The shipper, in turn,
finds a profitable sale either in the
Chicago or St. louis markets.
Railroads are the principal means
of making this State what it is; for
in this way the exports of the fatih
not only become remunerative, but
the people are enabled to receive
from the timber regions of the
North, a supply of necessary mate
rial for building purposes. Some
idea of the advantages of these rail
way lines may be inferred from the
"mushrooth growth" Of Mason
City since the completion of the
railroad from jacksonville to
Bloomington. -Four years ago not
ttiore than half q dozen houses oc-
cupied the pleasant site Of the city
which now claims population Of
1, 700, and contains quite a number
of business and public edifices that
would be creditable to some Of our
oldest cities.
Within a few years land has be-
come much enhanced in value, so
that it now fequires as much thpi'
tai to purchase here as in any of
the fertile and well improved fe-
gions of Ohio.
A great many ore leaving this
State and following the tide of en-
igratiUn to Kansas and Iowa, where
they can pHrGhase at low figutes
and secure a larger portion of the
"broad acres"
Farmers are now busily engaged
in garnering the products of their
Summers toll and preparing for
the coming Winter.
The corn crop id many localities
is an average one--the season hav-
ing been favorable for bringing it
to state of maturity.
We have already felt the chilling
breath of Winter, and the rank
growth of vegetation, which for
several months has met the eye of
the spectator ON every handi now
falls to the mother earth and is
numbered amohg the things that
have been.
Political matters are very quiet
here, which is probably owing to
the fact that no State officers will
be chosen at the coming election,
as those elected last year were for
the next four years.
The result Of the recent election
in Ohio, exceeded our most san
guine expectations. The Republi-
cans have again placed at the head
of State affairs those gallant stan
dard bearers who have ever proved
true in the history Of
the past But enough. Taking off
my hat and making my best bow to
the enterprising people of Fayette
County, close for the present,

A Little EidpatV.

There are some signs of fdgctiness that
arc not consistent with the declarations and
policy of the last six months. Il is tenn
rorary impulse Of few who; under the in
tiucncc of encouraging circumstances, Il
little fresh air and mineral and other
liquids, are tired Of policy, and desire a
little more freedom than we have recently
enjoyed. It viii be over in a few days. \
run or two round the fields, and some kick
in3 up of heels, will wind the colts, old and
young, and we are sure they will settle
down to earnest practical work in harness.
We are not out of the woods. There is
much to be done. We must work on with
the same team, along the same road we
lave travelled for some months, or our
journey will be much prolonged. We must
continue in that wise mood in which the
Enquirer finds itself: " intensely practi
cal.' That will bring US out; and nothing
else will. So don't break q trace or do any
thing else nnbecoming and bothersomc just
now, but level down at the work before US,
determined to finish it completely before we
do anything else.
