A Mound City correspondent writes as

I0ll0We.
MOUND CITY, July Is, 1872.
FRIEND OBERLY.-l think 1t would prove
quite worth while TO send areporter or come
yourself to this locality to pick up, not ex-
actly the curiosties of literature, but not
ings of what Is being done here, and the
prospects of our town generally.
BY reason of this hope. will say nothing
| now under this head at present. neither VIII
] politically annotatc. l will just say this
much. however: / think Cairo and Mound
City might unite in jubilatng over the pres
| idential nomination of American patriots.
| Indeed, why should not the two counties
unite and make a big, overwhelming ratiii-
cation affair of it, Would an exhibition OF
fire works on the river do for a portion of
the: programmey / perceive other towns
nave been and done IL, enthusiastically. III
you don't come or send soon. ! shall be
tempted to send you an occasional.
Let me observe that some of your political
and personal friends here are agreeably sur
prised at the increase Of vigor, sprightliness
and pluck, manifested in the political and
editorial columns of The BULLETIN. When
the iron horse snorts between Cairo and
Mound City. why should not the name be
changed to The CAIRO AND MOUND CITY
DAILY BULLETINy think 1t would largely
increase your patronage here in the porper
period time, without at all injuring local es-
adjustments.
BY the BY. when is the long promised
W
which is II to BEGGING to make its appear
ancey Spread yourself during this cam
paign. if ever you mean TO do IL. Don't be
bashful. Your friend, ID.
The ratification suggestion by our cor
respondent is good one, but who's the
| fellow TO move in these matters2 We
can't. We're too busy laboring for Hon
| est Horace in the line of our duty. But
there's Judge Green, who, much to our re-
greet at the manifest injustice to us of his
claim, will persist in being recognized as
the original Greeley man of Egypt lie is a
member of the Democratic State Com
mittee, the Greeley elector in this district,
and is up to these kind of matters. Why
can't he take this matter under his charge,
and receive his reward in the conscious
ness of duty well done, and may be in the
benignant smile of President d.
The proposed change Of name of this pa
per is not q live issue. Wait.---That
Sunday Bulletin will be along in good
time. We think we can say to ID. that
his eyes will look upon i; on the morning
of Sunday wcek.-----The request that
we shall not be bashful is of such an I'M
reasonable character, in view Of our we'll
known modesty, that we cannot comply
with ii. We ,ciU be bashful, but we'll
manage to make the Radicals sing" du-
ring this canvass.

EDITOR BULLETIN In your issue of yes.
terday perceive Inquirer" |, complain
ing of produce being sold by spectators out
of wagons, who have no right TO do 30 with

the right, but do know this: That whilst
tomatoes were selling AT ~ per bu,hel out OF
wagons. some of our retailers were asking
~ per peck for them: apple. selling fol
~ cts. per bushel, and retailing AT b cts. pei
peck black berries at 90 cts. to II per pail
and retailing at ID cts. per quart. IL In
qurer Is one of these retailer, he know.
how il is himself, and if he feels squeezed
on one side of the fence, the householder
of small means feels squeezed on the other
side. One side of a story does very wei
till the other side l. told by
MECHANIC.
On the subject of tomatoes and market
wagons, the following racy, but rather
abusive. missiye from a friend of our. will
