Injury to POstmaster.G General Creswell.
On Saturday evening last, Hon. j. A. j.
Creswell, while seated on the porch of his
father-in-la laws residence, a short distance
from Elkton, enjoying a cigar after tea,
the chair in which he was seated-a large
arm rocking chair, was Inadvertently
placed too near the edge of the porch, and
in moving the chair one rocker slipped off
the edge of the porch, precipitating Mr..
Creswell to the ground, about eighteen
inches below the floor of the porch. The
side of his left elbow came i'll contact with
the hard gravel yard, injuring the parts
very severely. Drs. Mitchell and Ellis
were sent for immediately who dressed
the wound, but on account of the extreme
soreness and swelling of the limb the phys
icians We're prevented from making Il
thorough examination of the injured parts,
so as to ascertain satisfactorily the extent
of the damage 1t was thought that some
of the small bones about the elbow might
be fractured. The hurt, though very pain
full, is not considered of Il serious character
but will require several weeks for the parts
to entirely recover from the injuries sus-
tanned. = The swelling is gradually sub
siding and the arm is becoming less pain
full, and i'll a short time the physicians will
be able to determine the extent of the in
jury. The accident did not confinc him to
bed, but he was able to be about the house
and converse with the neighbors and friends
who called to inquire after his condition.
When the news of the mishap was sent
abroad by the telegraph, he suddenly be-
came the subject of numerous telegraph
dispatches and letters of coincidence
Among the numerous correspondents one
enterprising agent of an Accident Insur-
ance Company forwarded an Application
ready prepared for the p. NJ. Generals sig
nature, with the assurance that he felt san
guine of being able to issue policies to the
entire Cabinet of President Grant if Mr..
Crcswell would take the initiative. We
did not learn whether this enterprising
agent has had the pleasure of issuing a
policy guaranteeing the safety of the Post
master General from all future accidents.

Letter from Montana.

HELENA, NJ. T., July 10th, 1869.
Greenbacks being more in favor now
than formerly, gold dust is becoming less
and less looked upon as a circulating me-
dunn. Formerly it was the only kind of
money used in this region. People now
consider it to be only what the law rates it
namely, and article of mdz.: and though
at all times valuable, it tiuctuates in price
just as all other products do. The miner
comes in to town with his ''dust'' in a buck
skin purse, exhibits it to buyers, and sells
to the highest bidder just as the farmer ex-
hibits, and sells load of potatoes or wheat.
Gold dust varies in quality, and sells all the
way from $1G,0 to $1,000 per ounce.
Bankers are the chief purchasers, and
just now their purchases are averaging
eighty thousand dollars per day, seven days
in the week. From about the middle of
April to the first of December is the season
when the great crop is harvested-though
the yield to lesser, or greater extent is 60
ing on the year round. Very little dust in
it's vergin State is now shipped. The Bank
ers have it assayed and moulded into bricks;
the bricks being of value all the way from
$4,000 to $4,000 In this form it is sent
forth into the world to do its mission, be
its mission for good or for evil. Many peo-
pie say its doings are all bad, hut have
yet to see the first individual who was not
willing to risk the evil its possession entails
~
brick yards" and at one of these yards
to-day saw two immense bricks of the
aggregate value of seventy-fve thousand
dollars. AS an evidence of the :. flush"
times in Helena, l will mention that one of
the drinking saloons took in on the Sd and
4th of July the sum Of eighteen hundred
dollars for drinks and cigars. Some genius
curious in such things, has been at the
all the drinking saloons, and it is found to
average three thousand dollars per day, the
year round. This for a population of seven
to eight thousand is certainly steaming it
upon the high pressure system.
The annual election for delegate to Con-
gress and Territorial officers takes place
the first Monday in August. The campaign
is without spirit. The rebel democracy are
having it all their own way. There is not
4 Republican in the country willing, or
able to meet Jim Cavanaugh on the stump
We did hope when we learned Of Ashley $
appointment as Territorial Governor, he
would come and beard the panther in his
hole: but he comes not-secmingly being
satisfied with the honor of receiving the
appointment. President Grant ceased work
ing his guiltinc in this Territory too soon
lie has left upon the bench drunken
Judge to remind the people that Andy John
son once lived, and welded the appointing
power. This Territory has always been
cursed with drunken federal officials but
President Grants appoints are much
better class of men. The man who was
acting Governor two years ago, i'll fit of
delerium, jumped into the Missouri river
and drowned himself and his body was
never found. RIM.

CAMDEN CAMP.-This celebrated camp
meeting commenced on Wednesday even
ing 2lst inst, the Rev. J. g. Mann, of
Wyoming, preaching the opening sermon.
The encampment numbered about as many
tents as last year, 600 and was laid out on
the same plan. There were sixteen ave-
nues radiating from the "circle,' and the
tents all numbered and named as usual
st. Paul's tent, Philadelphia, was on the
right of the stand from the entrance, and
Union, Wilmington, on the left A bell on
the left of stand rang or rather sounded
the calls for service.
The meetings accomplished but little in
the way of conversions, though there was
much eanestness on the part of many wor-
shippers. A tendency to social enjoyment
seemed to be ruling inclination, it is said,
with the majority. Among the tenters
were representatives of nearly all the Pro-
testant denominations, and there seemed to
be liberal Christian sentiment. Good or
der was maintained on the ground. On
Friday morning the camp closed.

been experienced south of Chesapeake

destroy the corn crop of that section. and
Will, we presume, injure somewhat the

ripen. The drought has been severe in

the Shore. The upper portion of this
county has been blessed with abundant
rains, and the corn and potato crops never
