Dear Sir:-Your esteemed favor of tho oo.,.
of January, was duly received. l have ,ssd
the same with much interest, as has also the
Hon. Cheney Ames. We both concur m
what you say, and neither see any cause of
Difference or collision between Oswego and
her earnest, active and valuable Eastern
friend, Portland.
Our Committee is progressing with SURVEYS
from Fort Ann to Richland Station, and hope
soon to get them in shape TO be acted upon by
our Committee.
As soon rs l meet Mr.. Post, Cross and
Hough, the other memters of our Committee,
| shall show them your letter.
We have many citizens who want Railroad
to Boston and who think acommon line should
serve both Boston and Portland from Osweso
to point as far east as Worthwhile, and that
concert of action in this would facilitate the
of both lines. Yet we are not
going to give up the plan of the great Trans
Continental Line from Portland Rutland, Os--
weso and Chicago. -
Yours, truly,
GILBERT MOLLISON.

Drought in Illinois.

The Country Gentleman, through
CORRESPONDENT writing from Knox
county, Illinois, gives this account Of
the condition Of things in that local
ity:
"Only about one half the meadows
are mown this year, at an average OF
less than one ton per acre, A meadow
of twenty-tour acres in Rock Island
county, that yielded last year over forty
tons Of hay, gave only two loads this
wear. The inquiry naturally comes IN
with what shall we feed our stock this
fall and winter? If rain comes soon,
our PASTURES may recover and good fall
pasture grow. But no meadows that
are now with perfectly dry stubble, and
scarcely a gseen blade to be seen, can
come up so as to NOV second time. Corn
fodder is now the only resort. The
stalks being small, will be Letter to
handle and easily masticated by the
stock. If we have a warm, open winter,
as was the last, with much economy IN
feeding, most of the stock may pass
through with hides on. But if it is
such in severity as have seen In
twenty-six winters spent in Illinois, a
great calamity must follow. From the
counties bordering on the Mississippi
river much stock lie being taken to Kan
sas, Nebraska, and Missouri, as the
drought in general has not been so Sc
we're there as to destroy all the prairie
grass. This can be put up any time In
September, and make good feed for
winter But COWS and working teams
will need some grain. - '.' '>. o.

Richie COUNTY, September %.
Ritchie COunty-StevensOn Speaks
His Piece at HarriSXilIe.

The Republicans OF this county had
great meeting on the 9th of Septcm-
Der, 1870, at IIarrisviIle. Governor
Stevenson and General Z. NJ. Harris
were speakers announced to speak on
the occasion. John j. Jacob and John
J. Davis were invited to be present on
the occasion and discuss the issues OF the
day,-unfortunately neither of the latter
gentlemen were present, and therefore
Governor Stevenson consumed all the
time not even allowing his associate Gen.
I. NJ. Harris, to say one word in the
premises, all of which resulted in dis
appointing some Of the Generals best
and warmest friends, as well as the sad
disappointment of the,General himself.
Stevensons speech was Of character
unbecoming the position to which he
aspires. The whole tenor Of the same
being to abuse the Democratic party,
and frequently interspersed with words
of this kind. ooh but we koncked the
wind out OF them at certain time"
beautiful language to use in the
presence OF ladies. | think he la.
etfectually killed himself in Richie.
Registration can't save him. He will
be consigned to that oblivion which his
disgrace and blackguardism so justly
merits. | think it would be well for
the Democratic State committee to
hire him to make one more speech in
this county and | am satisfied he would
not receive one votc. The assertion Of
come of his friends to the contrary not
withstanding, can assure the readers
of the REGISTER that Richie will be all
right. John P Harris, our candidate
for the Senate, will carry the county
against the carpet-bagger,' C. T. Scott,
formerly of Brooke. The people are
tried of carpet-baggers and therefore
will not tolerate them longer.

BALD EAGLE ,CAPTURED.-We are in
formed that about two wee IS ago Mrs
Susanna Fearnow, of Rock Gap town
ship, this county, heard commotion
among her geese, upon looking toward
them, discovered large bird in the acl
of carrying fine fat fellow off. Not
having a good hold, the gooses strug,
giles brought them both to the ground,
in a meadow close by, when Mrs. s.,
wishing to save her goose, soon reached
the spot. and, finding the eagles wings
too wet TO fly, put her foot on his neck,
until a cord was brought, when his maj
esty was firmly bound, and carried in
triumph TO the house. He measures 6
feet 3 inches from tip to tip OF wiRgs,
and over 4 feet from point of bill to tip

\ FRIGHTFUL OCCURREXcE.-One day
lest week the engineer employed at the
mill of Westerman n Co, at Thornton.
JhiS county, met with an accident which
was very irightful in its nature. While
the machinery was running, strap
which passed around large tly-wheel
between twenty and thirty feet in diam
etrr, became slack The engineer no
ticing it got handful OF rosin and was
IN the act OF dropping it between the
strap and the wheel, which at the time
was running at the rate of los revolu-
tons per minute. The sleeve OF
his coat was caught and in an in
slant he was drawn by the strap up to
the wheel and was carried around some
four or live revolutions when after sew
eral herculean efforts he disengageI
himself from his perilous position. He,
however, sustained no very serious in.
iurieS, while it is a matter of astonish-
ment that he should have come of
alive. The wheel being very large a
pit had been dug in the ground for it to
pass through. This pit was, or ap-
peared to be, only large enough to ad-
NIT the wheel; but strange as it may
seem he was dragged through this pit
every revolution, without, as above
stated, sustaining any very serious injur-
les.

The Radicals Of Richie have inaug-
urated new system of selecting their
candidates. That system is called
Primary elections" They say the
conventional system adopted was
subversive of good; that ithad been the
means OF causing disaffections in their
ranks, and if continued in, would ulti-
mately break up and destroy their
party. Such, believe, is the reason
advanced for this new system. | shall
not pretend to deny the fact that their
party has gone ITO that political bourne
from whence none returns" because to
deny 1t, would be to controvert the
truth, which L. am not disposed to do.
l, however, would disagree with some,
as 10 what was the cause of their dis
ahectlon. If | were to predict ]
should say it is the manner in which
they have armed on their extreme
measures, and their utter regardlessness
oftruth. They told the good people of
this county, two years ago, that they
were not in favor of negro suffrage, and
when 1t is now thrown in their teeth,
they excuse themselves by saying that
the exieancy of the case requires it. |
heard very prominent Republican saw
the other day, that the Radical party
had induced him to believe when the
Democrats charged it upon their party
that they were in favor of negro sui:
frage in this State some two wears ago,
that 1t was Democratic lie" but,
that they could not deceive him any
longer, and he Intend TO leave the id
party Cushing his language) and he
further stated that he believed they
were not only in favor of negro sui.
frage, but that they were also in favor
of the mixture of the white and black
races and | hearty concur with him in
Ills conclusions. Such is the feeling of
a great many Of the Republicans of this /
county and they intend by their vote in
October, 1870, to assist in wiping oul the I,
last vestige of Radicalism in Richie.
| am aware the Radical leaders of this
county prate, and howl rebel, copper
head, DC, but they have no idea
what a tornado underlies them; they
talk to men whom they presume are the |
very best of Radicals, when in truth
and in fact they are their enemies, and
they will realize the fact when it is
everlastingly too late. If every county
will do its duty as faithfully as the
Little Gem" all will be well, Gov
ernor Stevenson and his iniquitous
Boards of Registration to the contrary
notwithstanding. Yours, &c,
