'Hon." Fredr P. Stanton, of Kans.ia, addressed an immense gathering of Republicans at St. Louis on theereningof the 24ih instant. The Douglas ties beld a ratification meeting at Springfield, 111., on the 25ch, (last Wednesday) which is claimed to have been tbe largest political demonstration ever beld in Illinois. It is estimated that at least forty thousand people were in attendance.

The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Gen, Jo Lane is on a visit to the home of bis ancestors in North Carolina. He has been heartily welcomed by the Governor, Supreme Judges, and prominent officials and citizens generally. The news from the Jefferson Gold Mines is cheering, and new discoveries of gold are reported. The new rich leads are all on tbe Lead -waters of the Blue and Arkansas rivers.

V. Pike's Peak Express arrived in Leavenworth last Wednesday evening, bringing 825,000 in gold. IJew Jersey Democracy beld two State Conventions at Trenton last That under the call of the State Central Committee was for Brerkenridge and Lane the other, for Douglas and Johnson. It is not believed that any. compromise can be made between the two factions, and that two State and electoral tickets will be ran.

The friends of Breckcnridge and Line have held a convention in Michigan, and resolved to run an electoral ticket. Ditto of the Bell-Everett folks. Another defaulter has "shown his hand." Quartermaster Major R. Sutherland, of the Marine Corps, at Washington, is discovered to have appropriated 833,000 of Government fnndu tn Viin nwn rnir.ioafn NV wr.n. der.

The atmosphere of Washington has become so corrupt in the last six years, that it is only a wonder that the whole population don't take to stealing. The round-house of the St. Louis, Alton fc. Chicago railroad, at Springfield, together with, one engine, one passenger car and one freight car, was burned on the morning of the 24th instant. Loss $12,000, no insurance.

The massacre of Christians in Syria continue -Tt is estimated that th Druftps have killed over 3000 unarmed men in cold blood. England and France have agreed that if Turkey fails longer to stop the massacre, they will interfere to save the Christians and their villages.

Three men were killed ou Pottawatomie the 18ih instant. They had sought shelter in a deserted house, which was struck with the lightning. The house of Mr. Shim-mons, near Lecompton, was Btruck, and a little son of his, standing in the door, was instantly killed. A Miss Marshall, aged about fifteen years, living on the Wakarusa, south of Lawrence, was 6truck by light ening and instantly killed, on the same day OI me BlDOve.

Two destructive fires occurred in Philadelphia last Tuesday morning. One broke out in the rag house of Henry on Front street, which was entirely destroyed.

The fire extended to Ebert cabinet ware manufactory. Henry's cotton warehouse was also destroyed. Total loss, 8200.000 partly insured. The other fire broke out in a 6tore on Front street, occu pied by Charles Boothroyd fc dealers in cotton-waste. Loss, 820,000.

Both fires are supposed to have been the result of spontaneous combustion of cotton-waste. Kib Knelt candle and soap fee tory, at New Albany, was burned on last Monday night. Loss, 845,000. Gerritt Smith, of New York, has an nounced himself as a candidate for the Presidency. Commodore Stockton, of New Jersey, has been nominated by the Houston men to run for Vice President on a ticket with the hero of San Jacinto.

The Douglas men and Know Nothings have agreed upon a fusion in Georgia. Each candidate is to have five electors. The motto of the Douglas men should now "Put none but Americans on guard." Carl Schurz, Wisconsin, and Fred Hassaurek, of Cincinnati, are addressing the German citizens of Illinois in favor of the Republican nominees. The Associated Press has resolved to build rival lines to the American Telegraph Co. throughout the whole country.

Extortion on the part of tlie Telegraph Co. is the reason alleged. From Sicily the news, though meager, is of interest. Garibaldi had commenced active offensive operations, and sanguinary combats had taken place near Messina, between Neapolitans, and advance guards of the Sicilian army. This appears to have been the signal for an outbreak amongst the -r -e i 1 ''-dh hav nA rtartlntara.

Many of these Christians are Americans, French and Brit ish, but the large majority are natives, usually styled Maronites. The religion of the Maronites is that of the Church of Rome, with one or two exceptions. The Druses inhabit the mountains of Lebanon, and are a bloodthirsty, idolatrous set of savages. Hasberyia, an American missionary station, containing a large Protestant commu-nity and five church edifices, was taken, and plundered, and the men, women and children put to death.

More than eight hundred Christians were slaughtered in this place alone. Basheya, another station, was taken, and the inhabitants put to death with the greatest cruelty. None were saved, and the Christians of Basheya have been blotted out of existence 1 At last accounts the massacre was still going on, and it was feared that the Christians of Damascus and other cities of the plain would be given up by the Moslem authorities to the fury of the bloodthirsty Druses. The American, French and English Consuls at Beirut were affording protection to all who sought refuge there, but could do nothing to relieve those in tbe interior. Another postmaster has defaulted, and "left his country for his country's good." A recent investigation of the affairs of the New Orleans po6t office showed that the P.

M. had appropriated 850,000 of the Department money, for which he could give no account. The President and his Cabinet steal the public funds, and may not their subordinates, well The President has been making another public speech. He endorses the Brecken-ridge platform, but says that neither Douglas nor Breck en ridge were regularly nominated, according to the usages of the party. He thinks good Democrats can vote for either conscientiously.

Two gentlemen, Mr. Day and Mr. Derby, were recently in the woods near New York hunting. Becoming separated, Mr. Day shot Mr.

Tbe King of Naples has offered to the Sicilians the Constitution of 1812, if they will but return to their allegiance.

This Constitution is very liberal in its provisions, and if tendered in gorl fait'i befora the breaking out of the revolution would liave been gladly acceptel by the Sicilians but now they refuse it, and are determined tp attach their ishnd to the kingdom of Sardinia.

and it is impossible that it should exist much longer. "Manifest destiny" is at work preparing it to fall into tbe insatiate maw of the American buzzard. The next four years will probably witness its accom plishment. Mr. A.

W. Decrow, of Bangor, has patented a "Burglar's Alarm Counter-Safe' intended as a perfect protection for the mon ey-till of retail shops as well as of all peo ple who desire to have their money secure ly-kept. In place of having lock and key, the Counter-Safe is as follows It has twenty-four ways of changing the opening, only known to whatever person U6es it. Any of these changes may be adopted by him at any moment. So he alone has the mode of opening it.

When wrongly meddled with, an alarm-bell is sounded to give notice. It is a small affair which can be put on a counter. A negotiation is in progress in New York between the Know Nothings, or Bell men, and Douglas Democrats, whereby the former are to be transferred to the latter, with the hope of thus securing the electoral vote of New York for Mr. Douglas. The affiliation of Know Nolhingism and Douglas Democracy is a very natural and rational alliance.

Let it be accomplished, by all means. Anything, so that the Republicans can get a good fair lick at the now disrup-tured, discordant fag-ends of Wbiggery and Democracy that are opposed to them. The Tobacco Plant, a paper published at Claiksville, says that on the fourth of July, Charles Hudson whipped his negro woman Jane to death upon his plantation. in Mecklenburg county. He tied her to a tree at 8 o'clock in the morning, and flogged her at intervals until 1 1 o'clock.

Then she was untied, but before she could go forty yards from the tree to which she had been bound, she fell and died. The paper alluded to says that "for the honor of humanity, it is to be hoped that the case will ap pear less shocking and barbarous when the facts are fully known, from which we infer that a man may murder his slave in rather a delicate and kind manner in Virginia. A man in Gortansville, recently beat a 6lave with a stick, then tied his feet together and threw him head foremost into a hogshead of water. When the negro was taken out he was found to be dead. A coroner's jury sat around the body, and soon returned a verdict of "Died from congestion of the brain." The Charlotts villa JRe- n-ietc, which record this fact, has heard also of "a case where a Begro was recently punished in a neighboring county, and died within a minute or two afterwards.

The verdict in this case was, 'Died from a combination of circumstances 1 Comment is of all things the most unnecessary. The last Express from the mines to Leavenworth, brought seven passengers, and ten thousand dollars in gold dust. THE CROPS. Our exchanges from every portion of the Northern States bring us cheering intelligence in regard to the crops of all kind the present season. The wheat, which is now being threshed and taken to market, is of splendid quality, and the yield per acre, except only in parts of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Missouri is greater than usual.

The aggregate, it is confidently believed, will greatly exceed that of any previous year. The growing corn never looked better at this time in the season than now, while the area planted far exceeds the ordinary amount. This is the case all over the West, and there is yet to be the first fear expressed in regard to the safety of the crop. Fruit of all kinds has not been so abundant for years as the present season. In Ohio, Indiana and Illinois the crop of apples are especially large.

The result of this plenty will be that provisions will be cheap. The state of the market thus early, foreshadows it. New wlreat is selling at, from 70 to 80 cents in Cincinnati, and other points in the West, with dull sales. Corn is a drug, and farmers in Illinois are anticipating the lowest prices ever yet paid since the construction of railroads, in that State. A gentleman just from Kansas City informs us that the Warehouses in that city are full of flour, for" which there is but dull sale.

The wheat crop having failed so entirely in Kansas, her people will be obliged to look abroad for their supply of breadstuffs; and to them the abundance and cheapness of the "staff of life" is cause for rejoicing, and we shall soon look for a corresponding reduction iu the price of flour in this market. The late rains have rendered certain a fair crop of corn in this portion of Kansas. We think the aggregate quantity of corn this season in the Neosho Valley will considerably exceed that of last year. But there are many portions of the Territory, where the quantity raised will fall much short of last season. This, with the increased demand for corn, will undoubtedly make the price of it higher the present year than it has been since 1857, which will compensate our farmers to a great degree for the failure of the wheat crop.

Will Pomeroy, Martin of Atchison, who passed high sounding resolutions, see fourth page advising the settlers in Western Kansas to take possession of the Land Offices and "adjourn the land sales for one year," answer us a couple of questions? you not know that if the settlers had followed your advice, not one of them would ever have got his land, but all would have been proclaimed as traitors and outlaws by the United States authorities and either punished as such or been obliged to leave the country?" "Did you mean that you, yourselves, would be "on hand" to assist the settlers in the forcible proceeding you recommend, and bear your part of the responsibility and consequences of the same? Or did you intend, as of old, to try and gt the credit without doing any of the fighting?" We are glad to know that the settlers treat this manifesto as it deserves with contempt. They know that nothing but knavery or culpable ignorance could have dictated such an incendiary and fatal recommendation. The Alabama Daily Southern Confederacy, a Douglas paper, contains the following threat of disunion, in case of Lincoln's election "But if the 'worst does come if Lincoln is elected, let us with one heart and mind forget tlx past, AND GO OUT OF THE UNION TOGETHER. If we permit the blacks to come into power, and allow them to govern us, they will, in four short years, inflict a mortal sting upon slavery, trom which it will neverVcover. We must not permit it It is worthy to note that the revival, of this silly threat comes from the Douglas of "popular sovereignty" party, who propose to "go out of the Union" if the doctrine of popular sovereignty is practically carried out by the people The Albany Journal fittingly and truly remarks: "But they will not be permitted to 'go out' except with a halter bMJt their necks and when they da go," they will drop out, like other traitors before them, from the gallows or yard arm." The Chicago Democrat says that the receipt of corn at Chicago is upwards of 100,000 bushels per day, and that many of the farmers in Southern Illinois, in view of the large amount of oldeorn they have on hand, and of the great" crop now in the ground are impressed with the belief that nextfall corn will sell at ten cents per bushel.

The Democrat further says "Fer two rears we fcavc had light corn ercps that is, for the two years previous to 1859. The formers have reduced their live stock consequently and correspondingly, and new the amount of live stock to tat up the present surplus and the coming crop, is not proportioned to the amount of corn there will be for consumption." A neutral paper called The IndepenieuZ, has lately been established at Oskaloosa, Jefferson County, Kansas, by Mr. J. M. Roberts, formerly of the Waynesville (O.) Visitor, who is also 6enior editor, assisted in the local department by J.

M. Day. The Independent is well printed and gives promise of future excellence. Cassius M. Clay and his Republican friends, about 1000 strong, from all parts of Kentucky, bad a very happy 4 th of July celebration and pic-nio at the Glades, in Madison county.

Threats of violence having been thrown out. the men went armed, as the old Puritans nsed to go to church but there was no appearance of the enemy. TERRITORIAL "XE WS ITEMS: Warm Weatheb. Saturday, of last week, and Monday and Wednesday of this week, were three of the hottest days we ever experienced. The thermometer' on each of those days, rose to 112 degrees in the shade! Ou Saturday afternoon, a 6trong gale of wind prevailed from the South-west The blast was hot and ecorching a3 the breath of a furnace, and 4 as withering and destructive in its effects, as the sirocco of of the Arabian desert.

In the sun, the thermometer went up to; 132. Men and animals were alike prostrated, and it actually seemed as if some terrible calamity was impending. The effect on our blighted crops was truly alarming; and it is now evident thai unless we have heavy rains within a week everything will be ruined. Fort Scott Democrat', dth. Bees are doing well this season in Kansas, but swarms are not increasing as has been usually the case.

"We saw at Skaggs' house a short time since, i some thirty hives of bees, all apparently doing well, and we are informed have lately1 been sold at a price from two to three dollars each; It will pay well to look after this mode of raising a great luxury, and farmers would do well to go into it more generally. Lecompton Democrat. Editor Assaulted. Mr.W. W.

Ross, one of the talented and gentlemanly editors of the Topeka State. Record, was assaulted upon the sidewalk tu front of the Eld ridge House, last Saturday vening, by a man by the name of Jones, resident of this city. The alleged provocation was tbe publishment of some article in the Record which Jones thought reflected upon him. Mr. R.

G. Elliott interfered; and prevented any violence, when Mr. Ross very properly took no further notice of hi3 assailant, and passed on. Mr. Ross is incapable of an ungen-tlemanly action, and his cool and dignified demeanor under the circumstances meets the entire approval of our citizens.

Lawrence Republican. Wind veritable wind wagon has at last arrived in this place from Westport, a -distance of 1 25 miles, propelled all the way by wind. It has bails somewhat similar to the satis of the schooners on our western lakes. Who says now that the Santa Fe road is not a navigable stream We expect soon to see this wagon making regular trips between this place and Westport. Running time 42 hours.

Council Grove Press. Salt Springs in the Fall River Val-let. Mr. James Robinson, of Fall River, 18 miles below Eureka, Greenwood county, has presented the editor of the Neosho Register with a small quantity of 6alt manufactured from the water of a salt spring recently discovered in his neighborhood by Mr. Hodge.

The editor says, "The spring discharges a large amount of salt water. Last week Mr. Avery, of that vicinity, boiled down a quantity of it and succeeded in manufacturing sixty pounds of as fine and pure an article of salt as we ever saw. One gallon of water yielded one half pound of salt. Mr.

Avery's experiment has proved so satisfactory that he has been induced to send to Kansas City for kettles appropriate for the manufacture of salt, and it is his determination to develope the resources of his spring to the fullest extent. Ex. Fob? Scaxi Goi.a. Judge A. Williams, discovered the other day," among the earth taken from his cistern, a beautiful specimen of scale gold.

We are not aware that any further explorations have been made; but, from the fact that gold has been discovered in various parts of the Territory, we are inclined to the opinion that this whole region of country has, at some past time beer, the subject of volcanic action. Judge Wiiliams, who is an old California miner, pronounces the specimen in his possession, oue of the finest he ever saw. Democrat.

He had in charge, Joseph Ray and Charles Merrill, convicted for passing counterfeit money, and Thomas McCormick, for grard larceny. Leav. Times. A New Church. A new brick and stone church is to be commenced in a week or ten days, on Sixth street, between Shawnee and Seneca.

It is to be 40 by 68 feet, and occupy, as a site, the one-half of four lots, donated by Mr. Yost. The Rev. John J. Rogers, who has returned from a collecting tour in the East, will, in a few days, publish bids for the same.

It is for the denomination known as "Christians." Leav. Times. Bound for Kansas. We noticed upon our streets yesterday some eight or ten waggons containing families and outfittings; all bound for- Southern Kansas. Upon inqui-ryr we learned ll at they were from Illinois and Wisconsin, and their destination is the Neosho country.

They report thousands of families in both Wisconsin and Illinois who are preparing to emigrate to Kansas this fall. The tide will set in early and from accounts the accession to the population of Kansas for the next four months will surpass anything thje kind heretofore witnessed. "There is undoubtedly room for all that may come and. we will guarantee that movers of the character of those we conversed with yesterday will meet with a hearty welcome wherever they may settle. Kansas City Journal.

Bodt Fousn. On Tuesday the dead body of a man was found in the bottom between this city and Wyandot, about one hundred yards south of the road. It was lying in the woods wholly unconcealed, and was discovered bythe smell of the decomposing flesh, the indications being that the body had been lying there some ten days. He had evidently been murdered. One bullet hole was found entering at the lore-head and coming out at tbe back of the head; another entering near the top of the head and ranging downward to the chin.

Both bullets were found imbedded in a tree near by. The person had been five feet ten inches in height, wiih very small hands and feet; the hair was all gone from his head, and the face andeyes so far decomposed as to be beyond description. He bad on a very fine shirt and underclothes, showing that he had been a well dressed man, and doubtless a man of leisure and refinement. But the outer clothing did not correspond with these, being coarse and rough and carelessly and loosely put on. showing that his murderers had exchanged clothing with him after he was dead.

A coroner'a jury rendered, a verdict of death by violence, but no traces could be obtained of the murderers. City Journal. Distressing Accidest. The Neosho Register chronicles a sad misfortune to the family of Rev. Rodney Payne, pastor of the Congregational Church at that place.

Mr. Payne's residence is in Avon township, about three miles from Burlington, and some workmen had been engaged in cleaning out a well in the door yard of bis premises, which they left covered with boards upon tbe adjournment of their day's work. A young son of Mr. Payne, named Edward Curtis, fell through the boards to the bottom of the well, striking on a bucket. The father descended and brought back the boy.

As soon as the house was reached medical and surgical aid w3 immediately dispatched for, but death took place in about 1 5 minutes. The lad fell a distance of twenty-three leet, the well being that depth. Forgert at Pike's Peak. We have heretofore omitted to notice that a former prominent banker and business man of this city, wa3 lately arrested at Denver, for forgery. He was tried by the "People's Court," and banished from the mines.

Out of regard for the feelings of his family, who are highly respected, we forbear mentioning the name of the person leferred to. Leav. Times. Crops. Mr.

Figely, who has just returned to Elwood, from a trip to Marysville, Marshall county, reports to the Press that the crops never looked better than at present, and that nobody need anticipate a short. Pork Raising. Our German friends residing on the rich bottoms of the Mill Creek, in Wabaunsee county, have been engaged somewhat extensively, for a new country, in the business of raising pork during the past year or two. We learn from Mr. E.

Hohenecke, of Alma, that between 30,000 and 40,000 lbs. have been packed in that settlement during the past winter. A ready sale at remunerative prices, is now found in the emigration to and from the Western mines. This is a good business, and we hope to see our people, more generally engaged in it before the beginning of another year. TopeTca Record.

Kiunappino Affair. We have good authority for stating that, not long since, two free negro boys, living in this place, were decoyed to Wyandot, and then taken across the river into Missouri. They are now in Independence jail. We shall endeavor to procure the facts in this case, and give them to the public. Leav.

Times An Old Settlfr. Mr. Pomeroy residing in Kentucky Settlement, one day last week overhauled and 6lew an enormous fish, "shoaled," it weighed over one hundred pounds, of the "Cat" species, and has been indue form of custom, distributed among bis neighbors; served and eaten in due form of cookery. This was a large fish, but report hints at a "larger," weighing Jive hundred pounds. We don't credit every Fish Story coming to hand, but the fish taken in the Kaw last week was no exaggeration.

Lecompton Democrat. POLITICAL ITEMS. The New York Herald gives the following summary of the Democratic journals that have a3 yet declared for Douglas and Breckenridge respectively Breckenridge. Douglas. North, 31 141 South, 145 21 Total, 176 1C2 The Democratic party in Oregon has lost all but its honor.

Jacksonville paper. Then 4 is poor wdecd. Proofs multiply upon us every day, that there is no disposition on the part of either Breckenridge or Douglas men for conciliation, union, co-operation or compromise-' or anything else, but a Kilkenny cat fight. If it will be any consolation to our Breckenridge and Lane friends, we can, after having thoroughly examined their chance in the election, assure them that they have a dead thing of it. Louisville Journal.

Douglas is no longer a prophet to the Democratic party, and the party will be no profit to'him. The St. Paul Minnesotian eays that when all of the Democratic papers in Minnesota have taken their position, they will stand eleven for Breckenridge and Lane and four for Douglas and Johnson. The Omaha Xebraskian is a philosophic sheet. It apologiizes for, or rather explains the absence of a Presidential ticket from the head of its columns, by saying that it has a preference for both candidates of the Demociatic party; but that, inasmuch as Nebraska has no vote, it is folly to keep alive the intestine broil for naught.

Therefore it recommends to all good Democrats to keep quiet and pray for the right. The Westport Border Star says that Senator Green has "squelched" Douglasism in Western Missouri. -The Erie. Observer, one of the most intelligent and influential Democratic papers in Northern Pennsylvania, thus frankly admits that the defeat of its party in November is inevitable "We will not stultify ourselves we will not compromise the position of this journal by misleading its readers with vain and delusive hopes, when there is no room for hope. 'United we stand, -divided we is an aphorism which has never been controverted, neither in theory or practice.

No political party4mded can succeed We tried it in 1848, and a like result' followed from a like cause. And we are about to enact over again in 1860 the disastrous campaign of 1848." 1 The Difference between The Part ties. The Republicans are in favor of voting slavery down in our few Western Territories tbe Breckenridge party'is in favor of voting it up; the Douglas party don't care whether it is voted up or down and the Bell-Everett party "don't know anything bout nothing." The Leavenworth Dispatch has changed proprietors, and comes out for Breckenridge and Lane. The struggle bttween the two factions of the Democracy is not for the Presidency neither expects to get that but for the control, of the organization of the party in the future to determine which is to be considered the Democratic party. Mayor Wood, of New York, has come out for Douglas.

Major W. D. Neeley, one of the early settlers of Mahaska county, Iowa, and for many yeais Deputy U. S. Marshal for the southern district of that State, and a lifelong Democrat, has recently left the Democratic party, and declared his, intention to give Lincoln and Hamlin his hearty support.

A Nashville. paper says: "The Re publicans are gathering up and making 'cam-paiim documents' of 10,000 rails' which Lincoln and a man named Hanks' are said to have split in 1830. Not to be outdone, the Baltimore Convention Democracy, with the same object in view, are hunting up all the bricks the Little Giant has carried in his hat for the last twenty years. They are said to be very numerous." So Laue is out out of the Senate by the recejit election in Oregon, and out in a letter accepting the nomination for Vice-Presidency. The Lane has a short turn now, but it will be fenced right across in November.

The Cleveland Herald says "Locofoco-ism, like the brtachy colt, has finally 'straddled the pole, split the whiffletree, and kicked dad in the bowels" yes, and stove up against a rail fence, smashed tbe vehicl, and broken its 'tarnal Few, at the South, deny the power of Congress to pass laws for the protection of slave property in the I certainly do not. Ierschell V. Johnson. Will our Douglas con-intervention friends put this in their pipes and smoke it Douglas' Last Hope in Tennessee Gone. Andrew Johnson, of who was one of the many candidates proposed by the Douglas interest for the Vice-Presidency, has surrendered to Mr.

Breckenridge, like MesErs. Pryor, Clingman, Toombs and others, who were regarded as, among his supporters at the South. The Charleston Mercury considers Douglas a pocket edition of Seward. We would consider him a very small pocket edition, indeed. The Sunday Atlas says that "the old National Democratic party has been irrevo cably severed in tbe middle." That is true, and Douglas got the rump.

Hickman for Lincoln. The Chester County (Pa.) Times, of the 14th con tains a call for a "grand mass meeting of the friends of Lincoln, Hamlin and Curlin," to be held on the 27th and announces that the Hon. John Hickman and other em inent speakers will be present to address the people. Don't Like the Germans. The Chicago Douglas' special organ, speaks of the leading Germans in this country in this language "Pretentious ranters and extravagant or reckless reformers, who fled from the oppressed States of Europe, not daring to meet and combat the oppressors, are come here to indulge their oratorical propensities entirely out of harm's way." The Germans will go almost in a body for Lincoln and Hamlin, hence this malignant attack by the Douglas organ.

The Democrats in Kentucky are perfectly united. Every member of the State Central Committee supports Breckenridge and Lane. The Governor, the Lieutenant Go ve ii "oT'ttie "ett officer for Breckenridge and Laue. The electors for the State, appointed at the last conven tion at Frankfort, are for Breckenridge and Lane. Nine of the ten, as we are informed, of the District Electors regularly appointed, -are for Breckenridge and Line.

The resolutions adopted at the last State Convention by a vole of six or seven to one are in strict accordance with the platform upon which Breckenridge and Lane stand. The Democratic newspapers of the State are almost all for Lane, Fifteen of the twenty-four delegates 'fo the National Convention are for Breckenridge and Lane these certain, probably more. A Breckenridge and Lane electoral ticket will be started in Iowa. Hon. Laurel Summers, of LeClaire, a leading Democrat, is out for Breckenridge and Lane.

Becker, the Democratic candidate for Governor in Minnesota last year, pronounces for Breckenridge. Several other prominent Democrats iu that State unite with him in an appeal to the public in behalf of the Breckenridge ticket. The Philadelphia Press 6ays the only hope of the Secessionists is to carry the election past the House into the Senate, so that Joe Lane may be elected. No doubt ibis is the best plan and the true way to prevent it is to vote for Lincoln and Hamlin. WOOL GROWING IN THE WEST.

We clip the following items in regard to wool growing in the West from our recent exchanges The Wool Clip, of Ohio, for the present year is estimated at 9,000,000 pounds, worth about 84,000,000. Great Yield of Wool. Mr. Kidder, in Podge county, this season, sheared from two merino bucks, 27 pounds of wool. From the two bucks and seven ewes 91 1 pounds, an average of over 10 pounds per head.

Mr. Kidder has a flock of "23 sheep, from tbe whole flock he sheared 219 pounds of wool and has 26 fine lambs. Minnesota is destined to be as fine a sheep raising and wool growing Stale as there is in the Union. St. Paul (Min.) Democrat.

A Good Investment. J. M. Clark, of Whitewater, has sold this year from 700 shef 3,700 ftis. of A No.

1 wool, for which he obtained 40 cents per or $1,729 cash. We call that good farming. We hope others wiU go and do likewise. Farmers of Wisconsin, raise more sheep, raise more sheep Wisconsin Free Democrat. Importation of Sheep.

The Iowa City Republican of last Wednesday says that Hon. J. B. Grinnel passed through that town last week from the East to his home in Powe-sheik county. He had been to Michigan for the purchase of sheep, and had bought 2,800 head.
