Our friend, c. W. Raney, in preparing
for his barbecue, was hauling hog,
whose loud squealing caused the team
to run away. The wagon running over
Raney's leg, giving him a severe wound.
There were two speeches delivered at
the above mentioned barbecue; one by
a Greenbacker from Warren county,
and one by the Hon. Mr.. Hubbard, OF

SOLDIERS.
The way Republicans Removed them
from Ohice.

TRUTH" in a communication to the
New York Sun, says:
OF all the hollow canting cries raised
by the rump (only the rump remains) OF
the once powerful and intelligent Re
publican party, this about Democrats
removing Union soldiers from office is
the silliest. Let us see who removed
the most Union soldiers from office.
When General Grant took up his
abode in the White House, on the 4th
day of March, 1869, the following sol
diers of the Union army were removed
by Grant and his secretary of State,
III. Fish: Gen'l. Dix, minister, Paris;
General Bartlett, minister, Stockholm;
Gen1. Ewing, minister, the Hauge
Gen1. Fitzpatrick, minister, Santiago;
Genl Rosecrans, minister, Mexico; Gen.
HOvey, Lima; Genl. Sullivan, minister,
Quit; Colonel Gleason, consul, Bordeaux;
Capt. r. +. Farwell, Cadez, Col. Duff,
(chief of artillery on Grants staff, army
of the Tennessee,) consul, Glasgow;
Lieutenant King, United States Navy,
consul, Canton.
The Union soldiers, in many of the
principal cities, were put out to make
room for such men as Mclean, East
man, Irwin and Campbell, at Chicago;
Foulds, Stephenson and Pullman, at
Cincinnati; Robson, in New Jersey;
Murphey, Cornell, Latin, and "Gen.
Arthur" at New York; Borie, at Phila-
delphia; Long street at New Orleans;
ana Tom Settle in North Carolina.
The rump of the Republican party is
on record, from 1876 TO 1878, as being
superlatively indifferent to Union SOL
dier's claim for place if he lacked po-
litical backing. And there are to-day,
and We're during the whole of the eight
years of Grants miserable administra-
ton, fewer Union soldiers in office than
under the administration of honest An
drew johnson.
The Republican rump has great deal
to say about Union soldiers when elec-
tiOns are at hand; but neither in their
State conventions, nor in their district
conventions have the Union soldiers
any show with the blatent demagOgue,
bond-holder, or shoddy contractor
The people of theSouth thought prop
er to send to Congress the men who
went to battle for them, but the rump
of the Republican party, with Grab,
Greed, and Grantism, areconspicuous for
ignoring the claims of the Union sol
dier. The first to turn his back ON the
old soldiers was Grant, who had been
exalted by them from Obscurity to fame,
and from indulgence to affluence.

again take up myIpeneil to give you
"a few items in regarrtO this, the great
Carbonate Camp. To a person unae-
auainted with this country it would

of the many wonders of this great

them off, blen up their works. Last
Saturday night the celebrated "High-

of by armed men (the original Owners)
and up to the present have retained pos
session of the same. though | think they

LOUISVILLE, July 81.
Editor Herald:
Your correspondent has just returned
from tour through the North, and
having visited many points of interest
of course the proper thing to do is to
write brief account of our journey for
the readers of the HERALD, who, al
though many of them cannot find it
convenient to make such trip, vet
take pleasure in reading of the same.
1t is quite natural there, on sweltering
days, to want to go away, of course
everybody wants to go somewhere or
another, at this season of the year.
Anywhere to relieve the mOnOtony of
present surroundings. A change of
scenery, change of faces, general
change of all around, even if it be but
for a few days. 1t is very beneficial to
poor, weary humanity. Rest and re-
taxation Is what nature seems To re-
quire, and this is the secret of the ma
mia for travel, change of scenery,
strange faces, pleasant introductions,
delightful conversations with all the
pOliteness and courtesy usually extend
ed on such occasions. All, that We
should ever get too well acquainted
with friends To loose sight of such deli
cious politeness and courtesy as is only
too often the case with our dearest
friends. Their presence oft becomes
monOtonOus, just rs the landscape be-
comes so, and we tire of one another
This is proven by the manner in which
stranger is received, or in which a
long absent friend is received, his pres
ence, ut first, is a source of deligt by all
those around him, and he is the hero of
the hour, but after 4 few days, he is but
a commonplace fellow after all, and so
it goes, and so it goes. Hence to those,
who at times, become low spirited and
brood over troubles, (which by the way
are often imaginary Ones) | would say,
take II trip away from your surround
ings occasionally. You ask where should
you go, go any where you can afford to
go, and stay as long as you can or until
you get tired staying, and | venture to
say you will come back feeling better
in more ways than one. There are II
great many beautiful places in Southern
Kentucky where the citizens of that
section can go and find rest, recreation,
relaxation and enjoyment generally.
For instance the Grayson Springs, the
Sulphur Springs, Rough Creek Springs
and many other beautiful and health
full spots where they will not have to
spend vast sums of money as at the
Eastern watering places, where there is
so much fashion and folly, and so little
rest and relaxation. Your correspond
ent took trip this summer purely for
the benefits To be derived from the
same, for the purpose of visiting Niaga-
ra Falls and beholding that great wOn-
der of nature, and travelling over the
great lakes, visiting places of interest in
the North and learning how the people
of those regions compare with people at
home and elsewhere. So Oh the eth
day of July we left Louisville and pro-
ceeded by rail to Cleveland passing
through Cincinnati; of the latter city
we will not say much as it is too near
home, and every body in this vicinity
knows all about 1t, anyhow they know
