nominee for Congress in the Third district
Col. Fogg is an ardent Greenbacker AMI to!-
lower of the illustrious Peter Cooper, Tor
whom his first vote was cast. The Colonel
remembers that the Greenbackers, when
they first began to organize in Maine, were
looked upon by the majority OF the citizens
with suspicion and contempt, but the scene
is now changed, and the best men OF the state
are now proud to be known as tolioSS
of the once despised cause. Col. FOgS has
always been found at his post during every
campaign, and since that time IN ms own
State, and during last year he went over
into the old Bay State, and rendered en'
cient service in behalf OF Gen. Butler, VINO
was triumphantly elected Governor OF tne
State. Col. Fogg regards Gov. Butler, with
whom he is Intimately acquainted, as a
true friend of the laboring classes, and re-
cited incidents which came under his per
soual notice, going to show that Gen. But
ler practices just what he preaches
in regard to the rights OF labor
ing men, and his life motto,
"The highest good of all the people
constitutes the oaly Just basis OF legisla-
ton &c. The Colonel spent seVeral noufs
In Psrkersburg, and with many; others OF
our citizens who had the pleasure OF
meeting the genial Greenbacker, the REG
IsrER scribe enjoyed a pleasant chat with

where the campaign will be opened in
day or two by Colonel Fogg, Hon. A. K
Barbee. Judge Guthree. Colonel Freer and
others Colonel Fogg intends to challenge
both Democrat and Republican candidates
for juint discussion of the issues involved,
and some fun may be expected, as he has
the reputation OF an able and witty debator,
and has measured arms with the ablest men
of the day in public discussion. The
Colonel has promised his Greenback friends
here that he will make speech IN Parkers'
burg as he returns to the east, which Will
be about the 10th OF May. The labor queS'
tion will probably be the subject OF his ad
dress on that occasion. The brethren ol
this city and vicinity will give the gentle

losing the trail Of the balance, some OF
the soldiers visited Gambies, where a Ssl-

WASHINGTON, April l9.-The Department
of Agriculture is not morking encouraging
progress with its artesisn wells in Colorado.
The land along the water courses has been
so generally taken up that the department
concluded to try the experiment of making
the lands back from the streams desirable
by means of artesan wells. These were
intended primarily TO supply water
for cattle ranches, but they we're also to
aid in irrigation. Last fall two wells were
contracted for. Work has been done on only
one. This is about ll3 miles east or north
east from Der yer. The contract is for two
thousand feet. The Commissioner OF Agri-
culture has Just received information that
q depth of l,0+0 feet has been reached and
water has been found, but it only rises 700
teet. This leaves it more than 800 feet be-
low the surface, so that in its present con-
diiiOn the we'll is vslueless. Work will
proceed, however, unless the contractors,
