which now destroy all our ship building interest,
which formerly constituted one of our largest
branches in mercantile Hfe they gave us the
promise to be economical In all their actions
we will find instead of peace and harmony,
that we are in danger of being crushed under the
iron heel OF despotism; eleven of our States
have been most numerically pundered, and
when attempting to defend their inalienable
rights, there was law passed by the influence
ofGrantand his Congressional Satellites to intro
duce the kn KlaT BU The writ of HdJeaS Con,
pas was abolished, thereby depriving them of
the right of bail or trial by jury, aud thus they
were imprisoned, until they say proper to re-
lease them. They have filled our land with tax
gatherers and increased the Offices in the tax
department. New Bureaus have been estab-
lished to put political pet friends in position,
While our ship-yards in all our commercial cities
have been Idle, and our ship-joiners, shp-car-
penters, caulkcrs, smiths, Triggers, &c, are all
thrown out of employment, thus leaving in dcs.
tltution over two hundred thousand of our fell
low citizens, bringing want and poverty TO brood
over our fair land, and all this has been caused
by the lack of precaution to pass proper laws to
protect these great national interests, Whilst
losing sight of all these vital interests they have
passed grants of lands for railroad monopoly to
the great dctriment of our Industrious cmgrants.
Thus we see the chief magistrate has proved
himself unfit To hold the position of "The Pres
ident of these United States" by showing too
large bump 0facceptancc. He is capable of re-
cednS from the high position he holds as Prcsi-
dent, even as low as Il Corporal in the army,
all presents, even from magnificent man
sion down toa bull pup or IL box of linyan-
mas.
This being plain fact of the case as it stands
before the people, we cannot understand why
there should be any hesitation on the part of
amy American citizen against laboring with heart
and hand for the election of Hon. Horace Gree
ley and r. Grntz Brown.
Respectfully, DUNCAN MCPHERSON.

The Hartford County Railroad.
August Goth, 1872.

August 2Otn, 1867.
Mr. EDITOR The time having arrived (agrcc-
ably to an understanding at the last conference
of the corporators of the Hartford County Rail
road) when the effort in behalf of said road was
to be renewed, l beg leave to call the attention
of all those interested, that it is necessary to
work as well talk in behalf Of said road, if We
expect to carry it through.
That we have gone far enough to ensure sue
cess in the work, provided the people do their
duty, is fact no one will doubt; but what
many of those most directly interested may con-
slider their share of the labor am unable to say.
But one thing is certain, should failure ovcrtake
us i'll the matter, the responsibility in the matter
should be made to rest upon those whose fault it
may prove-occupying positions they do not de-
serve; and will take pains to point them out and
hold them up as fit leaders in any rctrOgradc
movement that the people of the county may de-
sire in the future. a majority of the corporators
are gentlemen of acknowledged high standing
i'll the county, men representing Il large per cent.
of the wealth of their immediate ncighborhoods,
holding many honorable positions professionally,
politically and hope, rcigiously, enjoying the
entire respect and confidence Of their constitu-
cncy, and yet withal are comparatively idle in
their efforts in behalf of this great internal i'm
provcmcnt, this great work in which we are all
so much interested, and by which We are all to
be so much benefited, should success crown our
efforts. We have now nearly eighty thousand
dollars subscribed, and ii would be light labor
for those gentlemen in whose hands the future
OF the work now rests, TO go, porsoMatIy among
their friends and urge upon them the necessity
OF their assistance at this important time; and
| feel certain that they would be rewarded by
subscriptions to such an extent that they would
continue their work until the required amount
was obtained, when they could we'll afford to rest
on their labor, and we would all join in saying,
"Wel done thou good and faithful! May you
live long and prosper! and continue to be worthy
of the high positions you occupy in this matter"
Hoping the people may all become aroused to
hn INN m tnnp nf hn nd hot
be at once arranged to put the road under con-
tract will await the developments of the next
conference, and remain Yours, truly,

A Road Overlooked,

hENT VIEW, AUGUST lotI, lSTS.
MIR. EDITOR: l had the pleasure of another
little ride northwards some days ago, and found
satisfaction in riding over the repaired road that
had occasion to complain of. The great rain we
had on the night of the 9Th, measured 1910 in
ches, and did much damage to roads, but was
much needed by the farmers, who felt very CRATE
full for the blessing. The roads are within the
province of man to provide, and if we suffer
from his neglect, O notice through your valuable
journal seems to stimulate at least some one to
stir the rest into action. am not like Little Pills
i do care for the loss of their good roads, as
am aware that the people of that vicinity have to
work their own road, in their particular neigh
borhood, which has become the great thorough
fare for persons Lying far beyond. Why our
Commissioners should drop that road out of
the provision is rather unaccountablc. Perhaps
they are not aware that it is not provided with
money or supervisor. Can it be because those
people with the county aid have made as good
turnpike on one of its sides that our Commits
sioners have dropped it from their list of roads
to be provided for? If so, doubt the policy
Indeed, if it be SO, why not drop the Hickory
road, the Aberdeen road and many Others, where
the people and county have spent largely, to
the great benefit of the people? If the policy of
withdrawing the county's aid to such improve
mcnts be good, why not, when they build a pub
lie building, let it also take care of itself? 1t
may be only necessary to notify our commits
sioners of the fact that the road named has not
for many years had a levy on it or supervisor
to remedy the cause of complaint.

ACCIDENT.
The Great Rain of August 18th.

FALLsToN, HARTFORD Co., Aug 18th, 1872
Mr.. EDIToR: There fell during the month of
May-2.2l inches Of rain during June-242 in
chcs; during July-1.GG; total-G.29 Monday
night, Aug. 9Th, there fell in two hours and if
ty minutes, here at Oakland, measured in an ac-
curatc rain gauge, carefully placed, 4.93 inches,
or only Il inches less than fell in the three pre-
ceding months, May, June and July. If there
has ever been recorded such a fall of water in so
short an interval am uninformcd of the fact
TO gain an impressive idea of this shower, pour
into glass jar, about inches of water, and
then reflect that this depth fell over the entire
surface. There fell on every acre of land 13S $40
gallons, weighing 1,11S,437 lbs, or about $50
tons 1t would have required $50 two-horsc
teams, with one ton cach to have transported
the water that fell in the yard about the house,
which driven in the very closest or
der would have extended more than two
miles. Showers have been very unequal and
partial within limited districts, but it seems
probable that the rain fall in Bel Air and here on
that occasion was about the same. &. &. G.
