IT was not Mr. GARFIELD Of Ohio who
wrote the fanciful pamphlet describing the
route of the Northern Pacific railway, but
Mr.. sE1Eucrus GARF1ELDE, member of Con-
gress from Oregon. He affirmed the exist
ence of an interior extensive area where tne
temperature was much more mild and gentle
than that of a more southern latitude. The
book was written for purpose-viz., to sell
the bonds of the Northern Pacific railroad
but the fact that as early as last November
the work upon the road was discontinued
for the winter, and that thousand work
men upon it were saved from death in q
storm by the narrowest chance, proved fatal
to the summary stories of Mr.. GARFIELDE'
and now the road itself is nigh being fatal to

PEOPLE UNITED FOR KEMPER-

CROPS.
I(,orrespondence of the Richmond Dlspatch1
COLUMBIA, VA, September IT, 1873.
The political feeling amongst The white
people in this section of the country is in
The main Conservative, with the exception
of now and then q stray black sheep OF adj
verse sentiments, whose presence Is seldom
to he dispensed with, but the number OF
such is very small, and grows beautifully less
every year; and having an ample oppor-
tunitv to learn the opinions of those who
are prominent in the political arena, and
who certainly know whereofthey speak, your
CORRESPONDENT has never known the people to
I've more thoroughly combined than they are
on the Conservative ticket. A better Selec-
ton could not have been made by the Rich
mond Convention, as it seems to meet With
universal approval in this rs well as in adr1-
cent counties, and the people are thoroughly
aroused to the importance OF clcctlng Con-
servatiyc Governor. The negroes, as Is usuai
with them, are still undecided which parry
TO support, the Conservative or Radical, Dut
cold Flu" can safely count on more negroes
who will vote the Conservative ticket than
whites who will vote the Radical ticket. AS
vet they manifest very little interest in the
approaciling election, seeming to stay nj
home and work rather than TO attend polltlcal
gatherings.
Il is thought that the corn and tobacco
croDs in this section will exceed tie most
sangiliuc expectations Of the farmers, thls
being the best crop year we have been
blessed with for the last seven or eight years.

veterans Of the Mexican War:

There was meeting few days since 10
New York of the veterans Of the Mexican
war. There was great deal OF fiuidity OF
one kind md another on the OCCASION, but
the sentimental part was CONSTRUCTED within
quite narrow limits. General BRACES
name was mentioned, possibly in connec-
ton with "a little more grape" but we
did not observe any other name amongst
those of the southern heroes of that war
and thcv are numerous. If We are to have
veterans of that war, why may we not have
= show of the southern veterans?

Another Meeting between David and
Goliath.

from the Staunton Elndicator.J
Staunton was in Il broad laugh on Tues.
day over the discussion at Harrisonburg. 1t
vould have been comfortable to Us tor any
of the corporal'S guard Of respectable white
Radicals to have gotten skinned, but for the
head one-our own. dear felloW-citiZen-to
come home without his hide was cause for
rejoicing. 1t seems that that youthful lraellte
David Fultz got his pocket full OF rocks and
went down the pike on a hunt, when Goliath
Withers fell upon him, and getting him
where the hair is short, took away his little
sling and sent him back to camp. Goliath
had his record, and found out that to get 4
nibblc at the tlesll-pots of the Confederate
courts he had taken the oath of allegiance
TO that most disloyal Government in
stead of dieting on mamma, rs "truly
Ioyal' man should have done, in his
wanderings in the wilderness Of secession.
The Judge is neat man, and his clothes are
uneXceptionable, but lie don't know much
about politics; in fact, he made such bad
showing that WitherS had to tell him that If
he didn't know more about law than he did
about politics Virginia would be in bad
way with such an Attorney-Ge The
other gentleman was named Ramsdell, last
from Virginia, but so lately that he got
things mixed, and spoke of serving in the
Pennsylvania Legislature through mistake
for the irginia--that's where he came from,
Pennsylvania. The reply of Withers is said
to have been the best thing of the campaign,
and so good that the inveterate Radical Sen
ator Lewis had to join in the general mcrri-
ment ut the good hits. Withers aired
Hughes's record on wanting to hang the
Thinkers, who, in the war, were conscien-
tiously opposed to going into the army.
There were many of these present, and they
will pay Hughes off in November.

General GRANT was Il passenger on train
on the Pennsylvania Central, on the 18th
instant, which was wrecked, but he escaped
without injury. He was on his way to join
the Army of the Republic at Pittsburgh. A
matter of less importance was that General
SHEKMAN's uniform was upon the same train,
and the General, who was made President of
the Army" had to apologize for appearing
in citizens dress. Nor is this so small a
matter after all, for we are near the days
when uniform will mean something, from
the livery to the dress of those supreme in
power.

Mr.. Senator MORTON, of Indiana, deplores
the deprayity of these days. He in effect
says that a gentleman can't get up now to
talk about the Declaration of Independence
but somebody must poke Credit-Mobilier at
him, or ask what he has done with his back
pay. 1t is hard that such peccadillo as that
can't pass under the shadow of the Declara-
ton OF Independence.

ROBBERY AND PROBABLE MURDER OF A
LONG ISLAND FARMER.

Sergeant Riley, Of the Tenth precinct, arrested
Theodore Gambia and George Robbins, colored,
last night for having, as alleged beaten and robbed
John Dennis, Long Island farmer, on the jamaica
road. Mr.. Dennis had been to Washington
Market and disposed OF load OF produce, for
which he had received $50, and was driving
home last Friday night. When the wagon reached
his house Mr.. Dennis was found In the bottom OF 1t.
in an insensible condition and covered with blood.
wrench which he had in the wagon was also
covered with blood and there were several wounds
on his head ana face, which had been caused BY
blows from this instrument. Inquiry was made at
the tollgate, and the keeper stated that when Mr..
Dennis passed through the gate ne nad TWO
negroes in the wagon with him, and from the
description he gave Of them they were identified
as Gambia and Robbins two desperate characters.
Knowing that Mr.. Dennis had the money with him
they improved the opportunity, 1t Is supposed,
when they got good distance above the gate OF
Knocking him senseless End then robbng him.
Mr.. Dennis has not been conscious since the as
sault and his recovery Ii said to be impossible.
Several OF the Long Island farmers have recently
been robbed on the road, and they will, no doubt
go prepared 70 protect themselves IN the iuture.
