Monroe County,

We had the pleasure Of spending the
carly part Of the present week at Madi-
sonviIc. There were good crowds in
attendance on both Monday and Tues
day. In Monroe, as in this county, the
farmers generally complain of the
drouth, ana that the oat and clover
crops will be cut short. Wheat on clio.
yer land looks pretty well in fact, we
passed several fields between this point
and Madisonville which. though we
don't know halfas much about farming
rs either President Greeley or Professor
hiI!ebrew, we regarded as extra good.
On the thin, tallow lands the prospect, as
usual, is bad. On the Mayiield. Keith
and two or three other farms the Young
corn looks well enough, and a copious
rain within the next ten or twelve DAYS
will set it up all right.
On Monday, Capt. Bill HARRISON, of
Swcetwatcr, spoke to large audience
at the Court House on the political stu
alton, consuming one hour. Capt. IIar-
bison, though not an orator like Brutus,
was more than ordinarily forciblc in his
remarks, and was listened to with evil
dent interest. Before closing he took oc.
sion to cnnnciatc in emphatic language
that he was not an aspirant for any Of
flee, and did not expect to be.
In regard to the Cincinnati nomina.
tionS, we met with but two men in Mon
roe who were not openly for Greeley
and Brown, and those two are astridc
the fence, patiently waiting to see which
way the cat is going to jump. We could
not, OF course, talk with everybody;
but one can learn n good deal some.
times by mixing among the crowd and
keeping his mouth shut and his ears

The Posi- has pretty liberal patron

Portable in being able to add that dur

Iy responded to the pressing necessities
at the occasion, for which they have our
best acknowledgements.
