FOR THE AMERICAS.
From Lower Augusta.

NoLLoWINi Run, Aug. -, 1872.
MIR. EpIToR
If you think the following lines
will be of interest to your readers, please insert
them In the AMERICAN. | am very Glad to see
the bold ard Out-spoEcn course YOU are pcrsuiug
both in politics and in loca. coulty matters. We
generally find the AMERICAN the advance guard
of reform and improvement, the editor apparent
~ having I very small amount Of concern as to
who is pleased Or displcasrd, if he can only get
the latest and most reliable news. The day for
Il milk aud water sheet Is passed in my opinion.
We want an open, enemy and 4 fair iiEEt, aud
are willing to risk the result in all cases. The
political situation has been very quiet, SO far
Greeley stock is concerned, until August 23l, at
which time we were visited by delegation from
your town. consisting of f.. c. Goblin, {. f.. Up
De Graf, j. Snyder, Lieut.. McGce, and others.
They made several telling speeches taking the
whole speaking together, IL was somewhat re-
dicU.ous and very amusing for the boys but had
Il very dampcning effect upon our honest Greeley
Democrats. The speakers established the solemn
fIctS that Grant is n ,cd!ki1g arsenal, confirmed
dl1ntkGrd, and a fearful Nepot~t, that the public
debt is $3.50 SIS. 337 So, ,573, ,9S7,4S9 -, and
st increasing at the rapid rate Of S097 7S9, SO,
iG3 90 per day or thereabouts. Such statements
aud results as above stated was the order of the
meeting. Lieut.. McGee, of the 2rth q. s. In
tantry, is probably an older man than he appears
TO be, as there is 20 record of his commission
having been issued daring the last seventy years.
But that document was probably issued before
the revolution, and that would account for lis
not being the official roster of the L. 5. \.
officers but Notwithstanding all they have said
or done in trying to strengthen the Democracy in
this section of country, by actions or statements
like these, will place them in ObScWTity, and where
the smiles of honest Democrats will never stOop
so low as to see their doeiul condition. The
general consequence is that We will give Grant
and Wilson solid vote, and Il Rluch larger
one than we gave in 1868 for Grant and Colfax.
Many honest Democrats will go quietly to the
polls and vote Grant and Wilson in this section
Gin order to have an approving conscience in after
days). As to our county officers | will say moth
ing at this time. We intend to put good ticket
in the field, headed by Hon. j. B. Packer on the
10th day of September next, and then elect the
whole ticket, the same rs last fall. Democratic
candidates swarm through here like Egyptian
lOcusts. From what can hear out side, think,
perhaps, j. Il. Kaufman, ID. c. Dissinger and G.
W. Armstrong have n fair chance of getting the
nominations, and then far better chance of
being defeated ut the October election But |
must now close. Yours,

How TO DESTROY FLIEs.-To get rid of flies
nothing is more elfectual than the wild chamo.
mile, known also as cotula or May weed. The
odor of this plant is not at all dsagreeable, and
branches of this weed, when in flower, or even
some of the dried flower scattered about the
room, will soon rid it of hies. Another method,
easily restored to, is to throw some powdered
black pepper on hot shovel and carry it about
the room.
