The following from a gentleman
in Ohio explains itself and makes
some announcements that will in
terest the public: e-
PATTERSON. HARDEN Co., OHIO
-1Hessrs. NebIett &c Titus There is
quite a number of our Northern
people here, who are talking Of GO
ing to Tennessee this fall. The
winters are getting longer and col
der, and the seasons very unrelia-
BILE. They are undecided as to
where they will locate. Can you
send to my address, map of Ten
nessee or any other papers which
will give US any particular knowl-
edge of that country. Now is the
time for you gentlemen to advertise
your country. The North, or at
least a great portion Of ii is going
South. The northwest is too cold,
windy and timberless for men of in
telligence to emigrate to. We peo-
pie Of the North as well as of the
South, have come TO our senses.
There is very friendly and mug
unanimous spirit existing; one that
has never been 50 friendly as now,
tor which we all rejoice. The next
few years will behold still far
greater change.
If you have a map Of that State
please send one to my address. I
am willing TO pay you for it.
With respect to you, and kindest
regards to all. / remain yours, &c.

LETTERS FROM THE NORTH.

The following is an extract from
letter to gentleman in this city
from friend in Chicago. 1t will
show what our big paper OF the
18th ult., is doing for the city and
Montgomery county:
I enclose one dollar which / wish
you would give TO the publishers of
that large edition of the paper and
request them to send me as many
copies of il as the 81 will pay for ar
ter deducting the amount required
for postage.
Such paper as that shows a
great deal of enterprise and if well
circulated would do your city a
great amount of good. l lived in
GAINESVILLE for Il year, but / had no
idea there WAS so much business
done, until 1 read this paper. / am
much obliged for the copy you sent
me. 1t created quite a Juror among
the boys in the Court House. They
consider my farm double as valua-
BILE as they did before they saw the
paper. A little more such energy
displayed and the West will have
to look cut for its boom. Such guide
boards rs that will turn the tide OF
immigration south, sure.

There must be something after all this woe,
A sweet fruition from the narrowed past ,
Rest some day for this pacing to and fro;

There will be something when these days

Something more fair by far than starry

A prospect Iimitless, as one by one
Embodied castles crown the airy heights.
So cheer up, heart, and for that morrow
Dream what you will, but press toward
the dream:
Let fancy guide duh effort through the

Coming unsought as good things seem to
Twill prove beneath the flush of setting

For lifted up by constant, forward strife,
Hone will attain so marvellous q height,
There can be nothing found within this life
After the day to form a fitting night.
SO heaven alone shall ever satisfy,
And Gods own light be ever llght enough
To guide the purified, eDnobled eye
Toward the smooth which lies beyond the

COLORADO, TEXAS.

COLORADO, August 8.-We are glad
to report good rains in the section of
country north and west of here, with
Slight shower in Colorado. Parties
IN from Scurry county, and from the
head of the Colorado river in Borden
and Dawson counties, say that good
rains have fallen there within the last
two days, and that the grass presents
a marked contrast to the dry appear
ance of it here.
The little town of SNYDER, in Scurry
county, grows apace. They are talk
ing of erecting a very fine school
house, to cost four or five thousand
dollars. The advantages are fair for
very good town. No better land
can be found than UP and down Deep
creek, and water is abundant and of
good quality. The purest water is
obtained at depth of from forty to
sixty feet, and that, at some distance
from the creek. The actual settler
can find plenty of good school land
yet undisposed of.
Trade in stock of any kind is dull.
Malin s. Catlett sold their stock OF
cattle recently to the Magnolia Cattle
Company of Kentucky. Price, $780,
600. Number of cattle about 5000.
Some five or six thousand acres of
land were included in the trade.
Your correspondent went hunting
one day this week, and succeeded in
bagging twenty-seven quails and
half-grown antelope. We have in adj
dition to the common quail or part
ridge, the California quail, which is
somewhat larger,
Moonlight drives are very much in
vogue. Six couples drove to Seven
Wells last night, and were entertained
with music and dancing at the house
of our kind friends Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey, till late hour. The wells are
a curiosity well worth a visit. There
the buffalo used to go in great num-
bers to water, and the prints of their
hoofs are plainly visible in the rock,
each one seeming to step in the track
of the other.

An Absconding Official.

WASHINGTON. August s.-lnquir-
les made at the postoflice department
developed the following facts in con-
nection with financial irregularities,
and the disappearance of assistant
postmaster Morton, of Brooklyn. At
the expiration of the first month in
each quarter the employees of the
Brooklyn postoffice were required to
sign pay roll for the full quarter,
although they had received pay for
but one month. Morton, who was in
complete control of the finances of
the office, was thus afforded an oppor-
tunity, of which he awaited himself.
In making up the pay roll to
fill in the blanks for the last two
months, each quarter, with its figures,
representing sums larger than those
actually paid out. The total amount
of the discrepancy was small, $400
Regarding Morton's disappearance
during the investigation, the inspec-
tors supposed he guessed the result of
the inquiry and fled to Europe. They
do not believe his mind is affected or
that he is in this country.

workers went into executive session
Immediately upon assembling, for the
purpose of hearing reports of. various
committees. After adjournment at
noon, the officers and delegates were
seen but refused to make public the
proceedings. One delegate was found
who volunteered the information that
the convention, so far, has been entire
ly harmonious, and that the question
of adjustment of nailers' and Feeders
wages had not yet been brought up.
There was nearly as much dissatisfac-
tion among them, he said, as had been
reported. The convention expects to
finish its labors and adjourn finally,
on Tuesday evening. In speaking of
steel rails, a delegate stated to-day,
that if the manufacturers succeeded
in making a success of steel rail max
ing, it would ruin the business for
workmen, as few men could do the
work of hundred. In Wheeling
alone, 500 men would be thrown out
of employment.

CHINA.
PARIS, August ct is stated.
semi-otfieially, that negotiations be-

China. and Lihung Chang only result
ed in an offer on the part of China of
illusory indemnity. The time given
China to accept the French ultima
tum expired August 4, which obliged
France to support her demands by
seiZing the guarantee. Admiral Les
pes, therefore, on August 8, occupied
the port of Kelung and the coal mines
in the vicinity. Patenotre has in
formed Lihung Chang that the dura-
ton of the French occupation depends
upon the action of Tsung Ii
Yamen. which can shorten it by pay
ing an indemnity of 100000 francs
in ten yearly INSTALL
