HAMILTON, Sept. Q, lS72.--There was a
large and enthusiastic meeting Of Conservatives
at Hamilton Saturday evening. H. o. Claueh
ton, of your city, delivered an able address in
support of the liberal ticket. | hear it spoken
Of as one of the best speeches ever heard in
this county He was followed by Maj kilgour
in short but telling speech. Both speakers
urged the election of Greeley and Brown AS
the only hope Of the country. There was a
spriukIng Of Grant men in the audience, who,
though they complimented the speakers, did
not profess conversion. 1t is no use to attempt
to make proselytes in this community; it is only
a waste of ammunition. don't believe there
is single Republican in this part Of the coun-
ty who will not vote for Grant in spite of argu-
ment
There seems to be no prospect of the Radi-
Gals making nomination for Congress. Sup
pose they think Gen. Hunton good enough for
them. I believe he is about the only mau we
ex-rebs have had chance to vote for since the
war, who we can support with clear conscience.

an alarmist opinion that England is threaten
ed with an obliteration of the potato crop; at
any rate, so far as this year is concerned. " He
says that disease appears to have smitteu the
crop in all parts of the kingdom" A failure
ofthe British potato crop would of course in
crease the demand for foreign breadstuffs.
The whole crop is estimated to be equal to

GEORGETOWN AND THE CASAL.-The wheat
market continues depressed, owing to the mills
running ouly partial time, subject to frequent
stoppages, by reason of the want of a full sup
ply of water 10 the canal. The water Of the
canal must be used first for navigation, and o.
~ what is not needed for that can be spared to
the mills. The small rainfall and the low con-
dition Of water generally 10 the upland streams
that feed the canal cause scant supply Of wa
ter. This might be remedied by new dam,
but until the dam is built OF the creeks rise,
this source of annoyance and loss must con-
tnue Our millers, however, are men of pluck;
and are willing to aid the canal company to
build a new dam. The receipts are 400 bushels
corn Our dealers are not sending out orders
for wheat now, the accumulated stock being
sufficient for present prospects. Sales 4oO
bushels Of choice amber wheat at s S6! and
