In the region of Lost Creek, between

some years ago, selected for his home
handsome tract of land lying in the form
OF large basin or amphithcator, on the
gentle slope of which he built his house
and surrounded IL with barns. coops. ana
gardens. In close proximity he dug
well. there being no running stream on
the place. And now the pleasant home
Is desolate, the chicken roost floats 10 the
sport of the wind, and weary waste OF
waters surrounds and covers the grounds
and flows In aud out of the doors of the
dwellings. and this widespread ruin is the
result OF strange freak OF well the
farmer dug some time since. During the

Gen Harlan said he was not a candi-
date from choice. His feelings led him
to professional, rather than political life.
but his political friends had again called
upon him to make the race for Governor,
and when he considered the importance of
the times, the perpetuation Of the Repub-
lcan party and the call of his friends all
demanded it, he could not refrain from
responding.
He thanked Col McCreary for acknowl.
edging that there were some honest men
in the Republican party of Kentucky.
He was surprised to learn, and for the
first time to-day heard, that Col. McCrea>
ry was farmer as well as lawyer; but
he supposed that Col McCreary had heard
that there were few Changers in Ohio

bid for their votes, and no doubt he was

LETTER FROM TEXAS.
SOMERSET, Atascosa Co., Texas,

SOMERSET, Atascosa Co., Texas,
June lst.
DEAR HERALD:-Having been in Wes-
tern Texas now about five months, a suf-
ficient time to look around and form some
opinion of the country, have concluded
to drop line for the perusal of my old
home friends, in case you should deem
the same worthy of place in your excel
lent paper.
The reputation of this region as a
stockraising country is almost world
wide, but the stock has recently been
driven farther west where the natural
pasturage is inexhaustible. And then
hundreds OF thousands of head have du-
ring the last six months, been driven to
Kansas and Nebraska, hunting markets.
This portion of Texas is now settling rap
idly, and the farmer is convincing the
stock man that this is an agricultural
country, and the large herds Of cattle
have given way to the farms that now dot
the country, and it is found that all the
necessaries of life are attainable on the
farm here, and with less labor, than in
the older States 90 noted for agriculture
The farming season here is evidently ear
ly in the spring.
Already the weather is getting too dry
for garden vegetables, but the field crops
are 30 far advanced as to be nearly se-
cured. ard the crops are good. / have
about come to the conclusion that this
country will do, but there is one thing
that l could hardly understand, though l
may get used to it yet, and that is: !
stayed here nearly all winter and saw no
ice, and no cold weather that Kentuck-
ian would call cold, and yet the people
here seem to suffer nearly as much on
account of the cool breeze as you do in
your severe winter weather. This neigh
borhood, somerset settlement). is made
up largely OF Kentuckians, and a more
noble, intelligent, generous and hospita-
ble community of people l have never
met UP with. Most ofthese people came
here ar an early day, and are called old
Texans. And must confess that it as
tonishes me no little to see farmers, par
ticularly old Kentucky farmers, manifest
80 little interest in the culture Of stock.
1t is seldom you find anything here in the
horse or cattle line but the commonest
stock, with no apparent effort or care to
improve 1t. But L am happy TO say that
this error is about to be corrected. Some
OF the farmers are even now discussing
the matter, and have determined to club
together and send somewhere for i'm
proved cattle the coming fall. This will
be a step taken in the right direction, and
is calculated, with a little care and at
tention, to lead to magnificent results.
for no country promises more natural adj
vantages for the cultivation of stock than
this, and in no other country can stock
raising be carried on with so small an
outlay of capital and labor
Remember me to the girls and boys
especially the girls. More anon.

DEATH OF GEN. DUFF GREEN

DEATH OF GEN. DUFF GREEN
This distinguished gentleman, who,
halfa century ago, was one of the lead
ing politicians of the country, the con-
temporary Of CLAY and JACKSON when
those rival chieftains were in the zenith
of their power and popularity, and the
warm partisan of the latter, died at his
residence in Dalton, Ga. , last Thursday,
at a very advanced age.
DUFF GREEN was a representative
Or, rather, a relic-of the olden and
golden days of the Republic, when Of
ficials were chosen for their capacity
and character: when honesty in Office
was the rule. While LIVINGSTON was
brilliant, CLAY electrical, and BURR
dazzling, DUFF GREEN combined some
thing of all these in his nature, with an
undercurrent Of sound, solid, logical
''horse sense" that made him a power
in Congress and Cabinet. As public
man, his career substantially ended with
the Jacksonian era. A man of unblem-
ished character, his public life was with
out stain and'his private career one
of usefulness and honor. Greater men,
in the popular acceptation of the term,
there were; better and truer than he,
never existed. He has gone down to
the grave after a long and well-spent
life. Let ms hope that others who will
come after him may emulate his probi-
ty as public servant and practice the
virtues that distinguished him in pri-
waite station. Then no one need fear
for the republic.

THE Bowling-Green Democrat is mis-
taken in its assertion that Col. MCCREA-
RY, in his speech here, proclaimed his
intention to vote for the calling of a
constitutional convention. He did
nothing of the kind. What he did say
was this: Having the utmost conf
dence in the intelligence and wisdom
of the people, he had, as a legislator,
voted for the bill submitting the ques-
ton of calling convention to the pop
ular vote, but at the same time reserved
TO himself, asa private citizen. the priv
ilege of voting against the calling of the
convention, at the polls, and of veting
against the ratification of the instru-
ment it might frame, if he thought it
right and proper to do 50. Which, the
Democrat will see, is quite a different
thing from declaring his intention to
vote for the calling of convention.

Resolutions.

We hold it to be absolutely essential to the
preservati of the liberties of the citizens, tina,
the several States shall be maintained in all
their rights, dignity and equality, as the most
complete and reliable administration of their
own domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks
against anti-republican tendencies. Every
attempt on the part of the Federal Government
to exercise power not delegated to it in the
Constitution, or to exercise a delegated power
in any manner not therein prescribed, is an act
of usurpation, demanding the instant and I'M
qualified condemnation of a people jealous OF
their liberties. And we hold that any uncon.
stitutional interference by the General Govern
nent with the local affairs Of any State to any
extent or under any pretcnse whatever should
be at once condemned by all classes of every
section of the Union, as all such acts tend to
the destruction Of our Federal system and the
consolidation Of all power in a centralized des-
potism

WOMEN, though darling things to
look at, and stroll down to the water,
mill with, and take to the singing, and
hug and kiss and play croquet with, are
such changeable creatures. A young
friend of ours married one of EN- during
the cold snap. She first wanted him
to run round to the bakers and get some
bread. He objeeted-bread kneaded
by her dear hands tasted so much sweet
er than the bakers horrid, insipid stuff.
A bright smile dimpled cheek and chin
and lowered like an aureole about her
rosy lips, as she stopped and rewarded
him with one of the sweetest of kisses,
and then waltzed off to the kitchen to
make him tine best of bread for dinner.
Towards evening the weather grew cool
er, and she asked him to bring up a
scuttle of coal. Again he objected, and
protested that the fire never burned 50
brightly, nor the blazes leapt so cheer
lily, as when the coal was brought and
fed to the fire by her dear hand. There
was no smiling and kissing then-no
pleasant pattering of obedient little feet
dancing off to the coal-house-but just
the reverse. Siberian winter, so to
speak, reigned in that little household
then, and an ice-gorge, as it were,
then and there checked the navigation
of connubial affection.
