PROM OUSLEY'S GAP.
Correspondence Huntington ADVERTISER


OUsLEY's GAP, June 17th.- Are
all the plaques Of Pharoah let loose
upon US, and must our theme forever
be that part of zoology which treats
of insects? In our last letter we told
what we knew OF the bugs which are
destroying the Irish potatoes, and
that letter had not reached YOU before
we discovered three kind of bugs
devouring the foliage of the sweet
potatoes.
We enclose some of each that you
may examine at your leisure. The
one in the golden armour is as shy as
a maiden of sixteen, and consequently
very difficult IT, catch. The one with
stripes on his coat is an arrant hypo-
critic who teigns death whenever
touched. You cannot fail to perceive
that in appearance there ale three
kinds of bugs, but may not the two
larger bugs be male and female OF
the same species.
These bugs are running our pota-
toes literally, eating every leaf and
covering the stems with eggs or some
thing resembling eggs. Can any one
tell us how to getrid of them, is the
question we want answered.
The surveyors of the Guyandotte
Valley r. T., reached Mr.. o. w
Mathers' farm last night. o! wont we
be happy when the cars begins to run
past our cabin doors, and kill our
hogs and cows.
The wheat harvest has commenced.
The grain is plump and good, and
there is a tolerable crop in spite Of
our prediction to the contrary. But
the bugs!-dont forget the bugs, and
it you know any practicable way Of
getting rid of them let US know it
The man who discovers a way to pro
tect the growing crop from these
bugs deserves d monument of Black.

understanding, that we teel assured

bell county did not originate with
the editor of this paper, nor did he
have ANYTHING to do with it except to
sign it when presented TO him, as 9th

quested. As far a. we are informed,
that call reeites nothing but the truth;
it is simply to call the attention OF the
PARTY 70 the necessity Of q concert of

with the executive committee of the

by the chairman as his name is signed

that the best mode of fostering harmo

Resume of the Week.

FRIDAY, JUNE 25th.- Theodore
Tilton published in the Golden Age
this afternoon seven-column article
touching the Beecher scandal. 1t is
a defence of TltOn against the charges
of Rev. Leonard Bacon, Moderator of
the late Brooklyn Council, that Til
ton has been q coyardly slanderer of
Beecser, whose magnanimity alone
saved him from diSgraceful exposure.
Having suffered in silence for four
years from these and similar misrep-
reservations, adroi,ly put before the
public by the Plymouth Church, Til
ton says that neither patience or duty
will permit him longer to conceal the
actual facts from the public. He
then goes on 10 say that he has never
slandered Henry Ward Beecher, but,
on the contrary, has sacrificed his own
reputation to suppress he truth about
him, and that he never has refused to
appear before the Church and answer
all questions regarding the scandal
that might be put to him.
Tilton gives his reason for severing
his connection with the Church as
follows:
after | had been for fifteen years
a member of Plymouth Church, and
had become meanwhile an intimate
friend of the pastor, knowledge came
TO me in 1870 that he hadcommitted
against me an offense which forbear
10 name or characterize. Prompted
BY my selfrespect, Immediately and
forever ceased nv attendance Oh his
ministry"
lie publishes the following as Ell
extract from a document signed by
Mr.. Beecher:
BROOKLYN, January 1, 1871.
II ask Theodore Tilton's forgive
ness, and humble myself before him
as | do before my God. He would
have been a. better man in my cir
cumstances than | have been; / car

TO Mai. VIM. Stratton, and the building
of the Jail was let to Oliver Perry tor
four thousand dollars 81
There was some two hundred persons
summoned before the Grand Jury and
thity-eight indictments were made all
for misdemeanor. There was quite a
large attendance on the court, and the en-
terprising Hotel Keepers of the Altizer,
" hite and Buchanan houses did a thri-
wing business. BY the way we can boast
of our hotels as being equal to any in the
State, as this is indeed the land Of milk
and honey.
On Friday evening there was a sound
Of soft and plaintiye music at the residence
of Mai. Stratton, which was caused by
the bon ton having gathered TO witness the
nuptals of Mr.. John Aldridee, of Frank
lin county, Virginia, and Miss Minnie
Stratton. May heaven smile propitiously
upon them, and strew profusely in their
pathway, pearls, diamonds, roses and vio-
lets, and all the enjoyments and pleasures
Of life, andever protect and defend them
from the hands OF care and misfortune.
The calm that proceeds the storm is
now reigning in our political sky. Gen.

two weeks and exhibits strong hand
and has numerous friends. Kenna is
active. Judge Ward is rapidly rising,
while Hereford has his friends. No one
is as yet spoken of for tie Legislature;
We intend to present the claims Of Floyd
for the Senate, really believing that Lo-
gan is entitled to that honor in the coming
campaign.
The Democratic party in the county
is alive to the necessity of attending
primary meetings and of putting their
best men on the track.
We have been having some fine rains
in the last week and crops are looking
well.

GREAT excitement was caused
in New York and Brooklyn last week
by the publication of a letter from
Theodore TiltoR to Rev. Leonard Ba-
con, who was President Of council
OF the Congregational Church that
met last year, to look into the charges
made by Mrs. Woodruff ola great
wrong done by Mr. Beecher to Mr.,
Tilton. 1t seems that there was some
truth inthe charges, and Mr.. Tilton
had from a desire to shield Mr.
Beecher, Kept silent an the subject,
but he has been so vituperated and
viiliHed that he felt that Self-respect
required him to publish the whole
truth. His narrative bears the i'm
press Of truth, and it is truth that will
infict great injury on the cause OF
religion everywhere; but the great
forte of Mr.. Beecher has been 4 hui
man trust. human power, and hui
man strength bis congregation as
sembled from Sunday to Sunday, not
to worship God. but to listen to Hen
nv Ward Beecher; so. if these tales
are true, it IS evidence that the
Almighty "who Is a jealous Cod has
taken this means to shatter an idol;
to bring back his people from follow
ing after vanity, to a sense OF their
folly and TO dependence on him.
This thing may give scofers occasion
20 mock at religion, but it can inhict
no permanent injury ON it. He that

Radical Tactics and Democratic

\ portion of the Democratic party

ofthe Radical leaders last year, IN q
way which We hope VIII never occur
again. 1t was On the limited part

he'd which fairly represented al sec
lions of the STATE; that convention
nominated a candidate f0T Governor
who was acceptable to the party, and
who should have been triumphantly
elected, but the friends ola candidate
whose name was not before the CON
vertion. but who was a democrat and
who hal received al the honors he
had ever enjoyed FROM the democrat
ic party. raised the cry Of "ehques
and rings: this was the golden opPOr-
muity 70. IN. Radicals, 50 tEey foster
ed, by AL means in their power, the
dissatisfaction: Tray, Blanche and
Sweetheart opened on the untor;u-
nate candidate. and he was held up
as the most corrupt Ofmen, owing his
nomination entirely to bribery and
corruption. Then the conspiracy o.
sum,I shape, and a regular contract
was entered INFO, providing for linn
it, partnership and a division Of the
snoils. BY ;ais means the party Was
divided ana great injury done 10 lis
organization. It Is to be hoped that
the lesson Of last year was enough to
open the eyes Of the party to the tao
ties Of their opponents.
The game is opened however this
vesr on the same plan; the same men
who were the contracting parties in
the limited partnership dodge, are al
r,aIy on the war-path; the same po-
li.ical hack, wAo a.: heir llv-s have
been seeking or holding office, are at
tbs time in the field to warn the dear
people against "cliques and rings, Of
fee seeker. party, &c. The same old
speeches vi be rehcarsed by the We
~ same old political moun.ebanks
who polluted the air with their bias
phemy and bored :heir hearers With
their pointless Wit last year; the same
pure, aud patriotic and honest gen
tlsmen who, whea they cannot wan by
fair vote viii 20 TO work to win by
depriying the people of their vote,
will ventilate their virtue and beg the
people not to vote for anybody but
them.
The Democratic party in the com
ing campaign will have to fight the
world, the flesh, and the devil >; the
leaders of the opposition are deter
mined to stop at no half way meas
ures to accomplish their ends.
Let US vote for no independent can
didate, nor for q man who viii not

above all other things, let Us remem-
Der the lesson Of the last eleetion year
