The Ohio and Mississippi Railroad
and Its Connections.

As the change Of gauge OF the Ohio
and Mississippi railroad makes the
route from Baltimore to st. Louis
intact, thesuLject Of interior importa-
tons is revived and exctes considerable
attention. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad and its Marietta connections,
as far as Cincinnati, are fully bonded at
the United States Treasury to convey
goods from ships or bonded ware
houses in bond, with duty collectable
at Cincinnati, and it only remains that
the Ohio and Mississippi Company shall
also be bonded to enable goods to be
carried direct to St. Louis and Louis
vile. This, it is stated, is now being
done The Collector OF Customs and
other Government officers at Baltimore,
and also importing merchants, the
american says, are fully alive to the
value of this new departure" and will
spare no efforts to establish and foster
it. The shipping rates are fully as
low to Baltimore as to New York,
and the rail charges from five to ten
dallars per ton less from Baltimore to
st. Louis than from New Y ork.

BRING OUT THE VOTE.

The most important feature connect
ed with the election to be held on the
oath instant is to bring out the vOtcrS.
Wherever the question has been dis
cussed and wherever the Democratic
newspapers have been circulated, the
people Of the State desire the Conven-
ton to be held. But there are thou
sands who will not have any opportu-
nifty Of hearing speeches upon the sub
ject, and very many who are not
reached by the newspapers. Unless
some active person in every community
represents to these men the importance
Of the question at issue, and urges their
attendance at the polls ON the day OF
election, their votes will not be cast.
There may be some who do not even
know that an election is to be held or
what it is intended to accomplish.
When the FLICK amendment was sub
mitted to the people last spring, there
were many who did not know anything
about the election until after it had
been held. Let US endeavor to secure
the polling of larger vote on the Oath.
The Convention question being one
that is mainly impersonal in its charac-
ter, there being sno candidates to be
voted for at this time and no individual
having deeper interest in the result
than is shared by tine community at
large, it will devolve upon few unset
fish persons in each county to make
such arrangements as will bring out
the vote. The various County Com
mittees should see to the matter as
early as possible and effect such a
thorough organization in every pre-
cinct as will secure the polling of full
vote OF the friends Of the Convention.
Talk with your neighbors in relation to
the matter; inform those who do not
read the newspapers and have had no
opportunity Of hearing speeches upon
the question, how important it is for
the future prosperity Of the State that
the Convention be held. Urge them to
attend the polls on the Oath and cast
their ballots in its favor. We want to
establish a cheaper and simpler form
of State government; we must do so in
view of the enormous debt We will
shortly be compelled to pay, and with
out change in the State Constitution
these reforms are impossible.

The Indianapolis Daily Ssntinelpoint
edly remarks that "it looks as though
the Radicals had made a preconcerted
onslaught upon New York for two rea-
sons, one OF which is that New York
is Democratic city, and the other is
to divert attention from the short-com-
ings of Radicrl officials and Radical
rule. For instance, Philadelphia is a
Radical city. Her deb: is over fifty
millions of dollars, and taxation is very
burdensome. 1t is charged that a
goodly portion of the city revenues are
wasted upon jobs and jobbers. The
Republican papers have knowledge Of
these facts; but not word Of denun-
citation against the frauds and corrup-
tons and robbery Of the taxpayers Of
Philadelphia finds vent in Radical
paper. They are very much in favor
of reform in New York. but they OBJ
ject most decidedly to political reform
in Philadelphia. II is all right when
the Democratic OK is gored, but it pre-
sents different aspect when the horn
perforates Republican beef"

A SINGLE fact illustrates the sad his.
tory of pillage and villainy to which
South Carolina has been subjected.
The Speaker of the Radical House of
Representatives is one F. ]. Moses,
who with his own hands pulled down
the stars and stripes from the fiae.staff
at Fort Sumter. Such a venal RENEGADE
rs he is, of course, was fit to be the
leader of the Loyal League, and the
chosen plunderer OF the State. The
Legislature adjourned during the last
day of the session to attend the race, at
which this loyal Speaker had entered
horse-for the scallawags and carpet
baggers all keep horses and sport dia-
mond pins at the expense of the State.
Moses lost stake of $1,000, and when
the Legislature reassembled in the
evening, filed with whisky and moral
ideas" they put that sum in the appro-
priation bill by way Of compliment 10

HARPKR's WEEKLY, the most bitter
and INSCRIPTIONS Of all Radical sheets,
acknowledges that General GRANT is
not as popular as formerly, and gives as
reasons therefor: The quality OF the
Presidents friendships, the intimate
influences which surround him, the
alienation of some men Of high culture
and high character from his counsels,
the appointment Of certain unworthy
officers, his passion for San Domingo
what is called nepotism, ignorance,
indifference to real reform, progress
and political publication"

We chronicle glorious and crafty

We chronicle a glorious and crafty
ing Democratic victory at the charter
election in Charleston, South Carolina,
which took place on the I'd inst. Gen.
Wagner, the Democratic candidate for
Mayor, and the whole Democratic and
Citizens ticket was chosen by over
seven hundred majority. A majority
OF the white men and few respectable
negroes supported General Wagner; the
remainder OF the negroes and few dis
reputable white men, such as Bowen,
voted for his opponent. This made the
division in the parties. In one year the
people became heartily tired of the
Radical Mayor, Pillsbury, and the
thieving crew of white men and negroes
by which he was surrounded and con-
trolled. The city debt was increased;
city taxation augmented; business in
jured, and the credit OF the corporation
impaired by the reckless and corrupt
representations Of the people. The
General Grant Ring" made great
efforts TO re- elect Pillsbury. They had
the hearty cooperation of the Federal
administration, but that would not save
their candidates from defeat There
is in truth no Radical party in the
South. A band Of needy adventures,
under that name, rob the people, and
shout for loyalty and the Ku.Klux BILL
But they are irregular troops, and fly at
the first fire OF the regulars, as they did
at Charleston. General Wagner will
manage the office OF Mayor in an hon
est manner and for the good of the poo
pie, and that will be a happy and bene.
fetal change for the people of the chief
city of South Carolina.

7 take the liberty Of subjoining an
account Of fearful adventure which
occurred in this neighborhood a few
DAYS ago to young man from Baltimore
named Aaron Levingston, and which l
send to your paper, as it may prove OF
interest to many readers.
- On the Both Of July, young man by
the name OF Aaron LeviDgston, from
Baltimore, accompanied by an old
hunter, named Loughry, took their
rifles and started out to hunt bears,
which infest the neighborhood. When
about three miles from home they heard
terrible screams, which were the cries
of a panther, when about to attack:
In another moment the beast bounced
upon young Levingston from his perch
upon The upper limb OF tree, and both
fell to the ground. Loughry, when he
saw them down, hit the panther with
the but end OF his rifle on the head,
WHICH knOCheu MIN Oh' hS''hSo'oA'
Immediately rose, when the beast again
attacked him, and Loughry coming to
his assistance received blow, which
felled him to the earth, and he remain
ed insensible for the remainder OF the
conflict. Then there was a horrible
conflict between Levingston and the
wild beast. They closed together, each
seeking the death Of the other, Leving-
ston pi wing him with bowie-knife, and
he trying to tear up his courageous
antagonist. Finally, by a tremendous
effort, Levingston succeeded in Olsen
saging himself from the clutches of the
wild beast, and Immediately snatched
up his gun and shotthe panther through
the heart. Before dying, however, the
panther made another spring at Lev.
ingston, but when in mid-air he fell
dead to the earth. Levingston's escape
was almost miraculous, as he received
but few scratches and Commissions. The
panther measured nine feet and four
inches from the nose TO the end OF the
tail, and was as large specimen as has
been seen in the country for many
years. /. IL. L.

that ethargy into which it appears tney
have. perhaps, owing TO raYages 9 ,5,I sme
selves to be gradually drifted. They are
slowly. but surely becoming reconciled ito
what has been termed Book Farming. ~
They are beginning to see the point that
one acre of land properly MANFRED and
carefully cultivated with the late inprov-
ed agricultural implements will produce
more grain and of a betteH quality than
two or perhaps three acres cultivated after
the old fogystyie of farming. They are
also becoming aware of theiInpoftafce of
improving the quality and INCREASING the
quantity of their stock. We find by ex-
pertinent that our hill-sides, which have
been infested with rocks and scrubby TIM
Der, are well adapted TO various kinds of
grasses, and that this land which has
hitherto beenoa waste and Jon which we
are paying high rate oftax can be made
very valuable. % These hill-sides that
gradually rise on either side of the Valley
are not, as many may imagine finally
IoSg IN rocky knobby peakszandg rugged
precipices, but on the contrary they are
very picturesque and the soil in many in
stances being very fertile Srenders almost
every acre of them worthytof the attention
of the fortunate spossessof and after con
sidering the above facts we are made to
exclaim what a country for raising sheep 1
and how profitable the business! Wheat

pectation and viii make a very fair yield.

THE TROUBLE IN CHINA.

The dispatch of Admiral Rodgers to the
Navy Department explains the recent
trouble with the Coreans. 80 ''5ft
Itappears that a few weeks ago Admiral
Rodgers, accompanied by vessels of the
French, English and Prussian squadrons,
made an expedition to Corea to confer
with the authorities there, who are prac-
ticaly independent of the government Of
China, for the protection of shipwrecked
sailors of all nations cast upon that eosat,
whom it has been the habit of the piratic1
al Coreans to enslave and Cypress. The
conference was satisfactory and amicable,
and it was understood that the Coreans
made no objections to a survey of their
waters which was deemed by7Admiral
Rodgers a desirable thing in the interests
of Commerce. 70 Tg1afT HJET EIf
On the 1st of June, accordingly, Com
mander Blake was sent with the Monoca-
cy, the Palos and four steam launches to
examine the River Sable at point called
Difficult Passage. He was accompanied
by French vessel of war. AS these ves-
sells were nearing the shore masked bat
teries opened upon the fleet, whereupon a
heavy fire was returned, driving the Cor
cans from their guns. A communication
had been received from the shore, at the
date of Admiral Rodgers dispatch June
81, which it was hoped would open nego-
tiations for settlement of the affair !.
otherwise it was the intention of our forces
to land and destroy the forts, and take
such further measures as the interests of
