HoRAcE GREEIEy's PosIrIox ~ REeARD
TO the DEnocnArs.- Hartford Times
(Demecratic) Of June 90, has the following
extract from private letter to a gentleman
in Connecticut Though it was never in
tended for publication, the gentleman to
whom il was addressed has deemed it Of
sufficient interest and Importance TO justify
Its publication:
'sNew York, June II, 1s72.-I have no
possible claim to Democratic support, and
never made any. The Democrats will, OF
course, be governed by consideration Of
their own interest. II is nowise proper or
probable that they should be influenced in
making their decision by any consideration
personal 10 myself. and'ifthey could be, !
do not desire IL Hence have said nothing
10 any Democrat unless he first addressed
me, and even then have gone no further
than to say that, il should be elected, /
would treat oil those who supported me
nike, NOT asking whether they had been in
ihepast republicans or democrats. Yours,

Linwood toms.

Hot-Thc weather continues hot,
aud on Wednesday was very oppressive.
Drv.-Tho ground in this vicinity is
getting very dry, oFtho fine rains that
have fallen in localities around US du-
ring tho last few days we receive d but
LIGHT showers, and they were soon dried
up by the schorohing rays of tho sun.
Fdaing.-Wells aud springs are got
ting weaker; scarcity OF water Is be-
ing lelt, which isan unsual circumstance
here
The Crops, eic.-0ur farmers have
been busily engaged the past two weeks
in saving tho short crop Of wheat aud
hay, which is now nearly all housed in
rood condition. Many of the large
barns and sheds that have heretofore
been filed to their utmost capacity,
this season afford ample room for all.
Fields from which tho grain has been
taken, present an unusually bare mp
poarance, there being but little stubble,
and grass, owing to the dry spring, did
not set.
Pastures are getting short, and cat,
tie are suffering the torment Of host
of flies, from dawn until tho close oil
day.
The oats crop is short in straw, but
appears to be well headed, aud will be
ready to cut in few days,
Notwithstanding the drought corr
has grown rapidly, and should we b'
favored with a few good rains in due
time, heavy crop may be expected ii
this locality.
Error.-Our lnmonted friend and neigh
Dor, Joseph Davis, Esq, was inferred at
Uniontown, aud not at Winters Churcl
us stated in your last.

Aud we further suggest and recon
nerd that Convention be held al
Louisville, Kentucky, on Tuesday, the
Sd of September, 1879, to take such
steps as may be deemed prudOut and
essential.
On motion Of Col. Blantou Duncan

cgates from each Congressional Distrie

MExico.-Tclegraphio communion.
ton between Matamoras and Monterey
was restored Monday, the Government
forces, under Ceballos, having entered
the latter city. The reyolutionists,
under Treyino aud Quiroga, abandoned
the place "precipitateIy" on the ap-
proaeh of tho Government troops
General Rocha's cavalry went in pur-
suit of Trevino, who halted at Salinas,
with considerable force. Monterey
suffered terribly during its occupation
by the revolutionists. who levied forced
loans on the inhabitants. An Ameri.
can citizen, who was assessed 1912 900,
or 500 lashes," got of by payment of
$4,000. II is feared that the retrcating
rebels carried off many prominent citi
gems as hostages. 1t is not believed in
Matamoras that the revolution can hold
out much longer.

Two ENTHusIAsrIc GREELEY MEN.
Gen. Leslie Coombs, of Kentucky,
the steadlast friend Of Henry Clay,
thinks that the nomination of Greeley
at Cincinnati, was not only fortunate
one, but an Inspiration. Hon. VIM. p.
Preston, of Baltimore, thinks that
Greeley was specially raised up by
Providence for the present emergency,
and says in letter published in the
Baltimore Sun of Monday, 4" God has
given him to the country at the very
time tho country most needs him."
We don't know whether Gen. Coombs
aud Mr.. Preston have reached the age
of senility or not; but old men are apt
to be garrulous, and sentiments like
these will serve to laugh at, if nothing
more.
