10 We suppose every town and vii
lage in this county has slight sprinkling
of soreheadism, and of course our village
has two or three citizens afflicted with the
above disease. Some time ago they pro-
posed to organize Greeley club and send
for Hon. Moses NJ. Strong, of Mineral
Point, and Hon. Allen Warden, of Darling
ton, to manufacture enthusiasm sufficient
for them to rah for Greeley, and to tell
the people what they know about disap-
pointments in the postoffice department.
We are glad to say this threat has not
been executed, and are of the opinion
the people of Dodgeville have more
good sense than to give the matter
. second thought. Hurrah for Grant!

To SAFE SEED CoRS.-If you cou-
tiuuo to save seed corn from stalks
that bear two ears or more (as has
been advised by s)mel you will final
ly haze all shoots and little corn.
We often see stalks Of corn that have
from six to ten shoots but no corn.
If this force had all been directed in
one shoot, it would have made ono
good ear,
But one car of corn should he on
couragcd to grow on II stalk. To
convince yourself of this fact, look
your com fcll over, and take all tho
corn from a certain number of stalks
that have two ears, shell and weigh
it. Now look over the same Geld and
take from the same number of stalks
that have but one ear, shell and
weigh, and you will find taat one-ear-
cd stalks have the most corn. You
not only produce the most corn oif
one-eared stalks but you save one
half in hushing, which is o very great
consideration. 5. j. WooLLEy.

In obediance to the commands of the
friends of Greeley and Brown, In Con
yention assembled, we this day place at
the head Of The CLARION the name of
Col. w. b. Shelby, of Rankin county,
as our candidate in the 9th District. No
better selection could have been made !;
Liberal in every sense of the word, he is
a most fitting and gallant standard-bearer
of a noble cause. 1t only remains now
for every Liberal, Conservative and
Democrat in the District to do his duty
and he viii be our representative in the
next Congress. Let the Conservative
Democrats and Liberals of Warren,
Kinds and Issaquena give him their solid
support and they may rely upon it that
the counties East of Pearl river will give
such majorities that the Radical vote in
the West viii be entirely overcome.
Stand by your colors, support your stand
ard-bearer and the glorious work is halt
accomplished.

rhe PresidentfnI EIection.

The elections in the New England
States can furnish no certain indication
of the effect of the Liberal Republican
and Democratic coalition, where good
results are most confidently expected,
viz: among the German emigrant popu-
lation which has settled in the West.
The Liberal movement originated in that
section, and there (conceding New York
and all the late slave States with two or
three exceptions to Greeley are the
real battlefelds of the contest. Elec
tions which can scarcely fail almost GER
tainly to indicate the final result, will
come off on the LIST Tuesday of October
in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The first named is classed as a Grant
State The last two are claimed for
Greeley. If he secures one of them,
the chances will be about even. If
carries both, Ulysses and his gang
May hang up the fiddle and the bow,
And lay down the shovel and the hoe.

The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle and
Sentinel says that DIR. T. L. Anderson, of
Wilkes county, has developed, by cultiva-
ton and careful selection of seed, variety
of cotton which is certainly a curiosity, and
may prove very valuable variety. This
cotton is peculiar on account of its exces-
siye fruitfulness, and the manner In which
the bolls are developed.
The weed has the resemblance of the pro-
life varieties growing up in somewhat
conical form, though the growth is appa-
rentIy more vigorous than these varieties.
The squares and blooms grow in clusters.
and very thick. A very large proportion of
the boIIs are what may be called double, for
want of better word that il. two bolls
are produced from the same square. This
tendency &c doubling is exhibited through
out the plant, and the stalk and limbs OF
many specimens seem to take on the same
characteristics, there being groove on
each side, presenting somewhat the appear
ance of dOublebarreled gun. This crowd
ing of the boIls does not seem TO diminish
their size, but they are generally very
large and healthy in appearance. Upon
one stalk i'm his field DR.. A. exhibits fifteen
young hollis so closely clustered as to be
covered with single open hand. He has
taken great pains during the last two or
three years 10 preserve the seed pure and
with other varieties. He has

The District Convention to nominate
candidate for Congress, in this (the 5th)
District, met according TO appointment,
yesterday, at Brandon. Every county
in the District, except Lawrence. was
represented. Gen. Wnl. H. McCardle,
of Warren, called the Convention to or
der, and moved that Col. o. G. Dease,
of Jasper, be permanent President
which was unanimously adopted. Capt.
Upton NJ. Young, of Vicksburg, was
chosen Secretary, and Maj Pat Henry,
of Rankin, and r. L. Saunders, of
Kinds, requested to act as Assistant Sec
retaries.
Upon motion the roll of counties was
called and the following counties were
found to be represented Warren, Issa-
quena, Kinds, Rankin, Simpson, Smith,
Jasper, Clarke, Wayne, Covington and
Jones.
Upon motion, each county was allowed
twice the number of votes as they have
representation in the lower branch of the
Legislature; provided that no county
should have less than one vote.
After letter was read from Judge
Sylvanus Evans, positively declining to
allow his name to 60 before the conven-
ton, Gen. w. FL. McCardle nominated
Col. w. B. Shelby, of Rankin, who was
chosen by reclamation
A District Executive Committee, whose
names will hereafter appear, was then
chosen, and the Convention adjourned
sine die.
Judge Jefords, Capt. Young, Col.
Anderson, of Missouri, then addressed
the meeting. Last night other gentle
men were to address the citizens of Bran
don.

prise They viii be gratifed to learn
that the road has been put under contract
at various points and that i uPen~a.
basis which Justifies him in saying that
the whole line will be completed in four
or FIVE years-probably less time. 1t
viii span the continent, reaching from
ocean to ocean by means of its connec-
tons, on direct line-from Savannah,
Georgia, to San Diego, in the Southern
part of California, on the 81 parallel
corresponding with the latitude of Jack
son, Montgomery and Savannah.
Our own Vicksburg and Meridian
Hallway will constitute link in this
great chain and the capital Of our State
is situated directly upon this msin high
way across the continent.
The Importance of this line and its
benefit to the entire region over which it
passes, cannot be overestimated. The
Union Pacific or Northern line, which
has been completed several years, has
failed to meet the necessities of commerce.
| In the ln -ldest winters it has been SO
blocked up with snow that trains have
been detained for weeks on the route.
1t has been established that but little
dependence can be placed upon it in the
winter season. The 32d parallel route,
however, is through aregion assable at all
seasons; and it is not only preferable &c
the Northern route in climate but also In
distance. But as for that matter, when
the intervening territories become settled
up, and the advantages of this new line
of trade and travel are fully developed
there will be business enough for several
lines.
The Savannah and San Diego route
as we will call twill embrace Mont
gomery, Meridian, Jackson, Vicksburg.
Shreveport, and pass through Texa:
from her Eastern to her Western con
fnes-through New Mexico-Arizona tt
Arizona City-and thence across South
ern California to San Diego one of the
finest harbors in the world and the site
of what is destined to be before many
years great and prosperous city. Thi
line will have the double advantage o
opening direct, immense trade witt
China and the East-and becoming {
thoroughfare for European immigration
from which all the region penetrated by
it, will derive advantage according to tht
means employed to secure a share of it
In common with others in whose
breasts hope in the ultimate recuperatior
and prosperity of our downtrodden anC
oppressed section, has not died out, W.
look hopefully to this enterprise and bic
it God-speed.
