"ons Mors Unfortunate"

published and freely commented upon by
the Democratic press Of the country. We
transfer il to our columns to-day, to let
such Of our readers as take no other paper,
see uhat Mr.. Groesbeek proposes.
The pith Of his letter may be given in
a few words--ssI am Democrat. bat ]
should be very glad to see the Democracy
move out ofits old organization into . new
one. You viii not succeed unless they do.
This is the essence of Mr.. Groesbeck's
letter, nothing short Of another thew de-
parture." With the fate Of vallandigham
before his eyes, and the wretched failure
which he made Of it, Mr. Groesbeck steps
deliberately into his track and advises the
Democracy to move out Of its old organi-
ntion into new one. Zone more un-
fortunate gone to his death Of all the
leading Democrats Of Ohio, but one, il
seems, stands manfhlly and firmly to his
integrity, and that one Is Hon. Allen G.
Thurman. All the rest seem bent on po-
litical tslosde Sc. First Vallandigham,
then Pendleton and Pugh, and lastly,
Grossbeck. IF any one thing would be Of
more benefit to the Democratic party than
another, it would be for all the weakened,
halfhearted, discontented, time-seryingex-
pediency-mongers, to leave the old ship in
body. The gallant crew remaining, re-
lieved Of those who are continually stirring
up mutiny, strife and discomfort on board,
could then clear the decks for action, nail
their colors to the masthead, and 20 forth
to assured victory. The greatest obstacle
to Democratic success, now, is the want Of
leaders who have the nerve to stand to
their guns in the face of all opposition,
and say to the foe-''in whatever force,
wen fight you" The man or the party
entering into contest, afraid of being
beat, believing that defeat is ahead, is
beaten already. We want no such men
for leaders. If they viii not leave us, let
them 60 to the rear and remain there until
those who have the heart win the contest.
The New York World, the New York
Erprcss, the Philadelphia Age, the Balti-
more Gazette, the Lancaster Iateaigeneer,
the Cincinnati Isquirer, and many other
leading Democratic Journals, have express
ed their most emphatic disapproval of Mr..
Groesbeck's letter. We are glad to see
it. 1t is proof that the Democratic
party have had enough of that political
laundering and Encouragement which Gull
minated in the Greeley fasco, and are
determined to have no more of It. The
man who even SO much as hints at it again,
seals his political destiny. Mr.. Groesbeck,
and all others like him, should know that
the name and influence Of no man, how
ever great a popular idol he may have
been, are sufficient to stem the force Of
the current which has been setting against
al temporizing expedients in the policy Of
the Democratic party, since its bitter ex-
periencs in 1872.

road, going east, a few days ago, ran into
herd Of cattle belonging to Mr.. Eli OFT and
John Eiler, which had gotten out their fields,
and were grazing on the Pipe Creek bottom,
half mile west of the station, badly GRIPPING
one, and cutting a leg off Of another, which
was killed.
Jack, who had his leg cut off at the knee by
the sickle Of Mr. Cash's reaper in harvest, has
returned and resumed his accustomed otcu.
patton of ham-stringing the pigs and shoats
which roam around here. His will seems as
good as ever, but his ability is curtailed. Now
the pigs can more readily get away from him,
he is sometimes fairly distanced in the chase.
Copious showers Of rain have revived all
vegetation. Cornis growing finely, but mach
IS very short and thin on the ground. Hay
and oats here are all harvested, and farmers
have gone to the pillow, and clover fields are
being rapidly turned into fallow, preparatory
to seeding for another crop.

Pic NIc.-The Sabbath School pic mic of
the Centenary NJ. L. Church, of Westminster,
was held in Emory Grove, near ReisteBtown,
on Tuesday last. Over hundred and fifty
persons were in attendance. The children
were not kept in leading-strings, but turned
loose in the beautiful grove TO enjoy them
selves. They were merry and happy, and
even the adults present seemed to grow young
again. Croquet and various other games were
the order of the day. Swings were erected,
jumping-ropes brought into requisition, and
the day given up to general enjoyment. At
noon the bell sounded for dinner, when the
tables of the long dining saloon Of the North
Baltimore Station were loaded with the con-
tents of well-6lled baskets, and youthful ap.
petites, whetted to additional keenness BY the
invigorating exercises of the day, did ample
justice to the savory viands spread beforethem.
Dinner over, sports were resumed, until be.
tween three and four clock passing shower
sent all to cover in the dining saloon again !;
and although the rain fell copiously, the shell
ter was ample, and the enjoyment was scarcely
interrupted. At six o'clock all repaired to
the station to await the train. Here an
amusing incident occurred, which occasoned
much merriment at the expense of the worthy
chairman of the committee of arrangement.
One basket had been left behind, aud he went
up and down the platform, among all the ex.
cursionists, TO discover who had left that basket
in the grove, but he could not find out At
