times we become suddenly exalted III
feeling, upon the reception OF letter
from some one of our distant subscri-
bers, and especially when the letter con-
tains greenback A few days ago We
received one Of those welcome mlsslyes,
containing a ten dollar note, from Cas-
hocton. Ohio, from worthy patron,an
from one who appreciates the labors Of
an editor. This gresnbdck squared
up" the "old score" and paid for two
wears subscription ahead. 1t is not Of
ten that subscriber will pay luo gears
ahead,-it is difficult to get many of
our patrons to pay what is actually due,
with which we would be perfectly salts
fed This letter was forwarded by MIR.
John u. Nicholas, native of this town,
but who left here many years ago, and
will be remembered by many of our cit
liens. He has been IN old and prompt
paving subscriber to the Register. Mr..
y. will please pardon US for bringing
his name before the public, because we
think his name should be printed in let
tcrs of gold, publicly, for the worthy
example he has set for others. We
publish an extract from his letter, as fol

Editor Register-Dear Sir Il am a
good deal behind in my subscription,
and it is only fair that to make all
things even" | should sometimes be
ahead, therefore please find enclosed ten
dollars, which place to my credit and
continue the paper.
Greeley stock in Ohio is up and
still rising" There are about twenty
five thousand liberal Republicans IN
Ohio, who will vote for him in Novem-
Der. There are few impracticable old
Bourbons among the Democracy who
say they will not vote for him, but we
think not one fourth us many as there
are republicans who will, and We conf
IDENTIFY expect to carry the State Tor
Greeley. The Legislature i'll redistrlct-
ing the State intended to give us only
four members of Congress, but we will
make those four eight certain, and pro
badly twelve.
Mr.. J. ?. Marshall, OF Louisville,
Kentucky, will also please accept ouI
thanks for the five dollar "gree"y' re-
ceived, which will be placed TO his

some rain since ! left, and | hope YOU
have had sufficient to benefit the farmers
as it was distressingly dry whilst | was
there.
hope in the next Register to see q
full report Of the election in your State
and particularly the vote of old Jetter-
son, as am afraid the great desire of
the Conservatives to have offices, rs al
lowed the radicals to elect their candl-
dates.
