JUDICIAL CONVENTION. By an arrangement of the Chairmen of the Central Committees of the counties of Montgomery, Booae, Fountain and Warren, it is proposed that a Convention for the purpose of selecting a candidate for Judge, for the 9th Judicial Circuit, be held at Attica, on the 22d day of July

D0Xt.

Republican County Convention. The Republicans of this county, will meet in Convention, at the Court House, in Crawfordsville, on

SATURDAY, 17TII AUGUST, next, at 1 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various county offices to be filled at the ensuing. October election. Let every Republican in the county consider himself a committee, whose duly it is to post his neighbor ia reference to the time and the importance of attending Baid convention.

JCylt is thought by some, that it would be proper, also, previous to the meeting of fhe above Convention, for the townships to hold their meetings, and talk the matter over among themselves, in reference to who they prefer as candidates. If such township meetings are to be held, we would suggest Saturday tho 3d of Augus, as the day Our friends of the out townships however, will act as they may thiuk most advisable in the premises.

The 4th (oth) in Crawfordsville. The celebration* of the anniversary of our National Independence passed off pleasantly as was possible on Monday last:— Ringing of Bells—a National SaluteMilitary display, by that well drilled and finely appearing company, the 'GUARDS'— a procssion—an Oration—Flag presentation and picnic dinner, was the programme of' the day. At night, a good display of fire-works and balloon ascension, closed the exercises. We hope that more time and attention will be given our next celebration and that the eommittee of arrangements will provide scats at least for all tho Ladies.

HARVEST HAS COME.

Our farmers are generally, this week, engaged in cutting their wheat. The greater part of which, it is said, is most excellent, much better than they could reasonably hope for or expect, early in the season.— 'Tie tine, on low, flat lands, there are occasional ispots, where the water stood pretty mufch all the season, that is scarcely worth harvesting but there is not much such land in our county. Many of the farmers tell us, they think there will .be a larger yield of wheat this year than last. Some fields, wero also, slightly touched by rust, but no more so, however, than on ordinary occasions.

The corn looks well* where it was got in by the 10th of June, and although probably not more than two-thirds the usual quantity was planted, wo predict a very reasonable crop. Less planted, but better worked* It ranges, from one to five fee in height and has a fine greer, healthy appearance. ,i.

SODA-FOUNT.'—Our much esteemed friend T. D. BROWN,- has -at his Drug establishment, a S^da Fount in superb working order. We would advise 'all -who are thirsting, to go and drink. It is truly cooling and healing. We have tried it, and with truth, testify to these thing*.

ATLANTIC MONTHLY.—We hare received this valuable literary magazine for July.— It is one of the popular works of the day, and is published in New York, at 83 per annum. The- number before us contains mahy interesting and instructive articles.

TBB LITTLE PILGRIM.—This- valuable 'little periodica!,-is published at Pfrihtdelphii, by Grace Greenwood, and numbers

among

both England and America.—

It is a work of 16 pitges and is published at the extreme low price of 50 cents per annum, and is most admirably gotten up to please and instruct children.

f^Air ElOPEMENT l»REVENTfcD. Our usually quiet town was thrown Into considerable excitement, 6& last Tuesday, ^y tho report that ROBT. L. COOKS hail eloped ttith a young lady of our place. A committee consisting of some of our beat citizens, at once took the cara for Ladoga, where it was understood that he was awaiting the arrival of the lady who had returned to this place for the purpose of procuring some letters containing the evidences of the guilt of the parties. The committee, on arriving at Ladoga, found Coons anxiously awaiting the arrival of his lady love, and immediately took him in charge and brought him back upon the night train, when he was received by about two hundred orf our citizens, and taken to the Court House, where tho letters above alluded to, were publicly read. It was resolved by the meeting that he be allowed to return to his home with the understanding that he leave town. When the committee were about to conduct him home the lights were suddenly extinguished and Coons seized and conducted to the rear of the Court House, where he quietly received a coat of taT and feathers. He was then allowed to go hiB way without further molestation.

We cannot consent to countenance by any means the action of a mob, however much {heir acts may appear to lean to the side of strict justice yet the voice of our community is almost unanimous in the approval of this act—this being the sixth or seventh offence of the kind committed by Coons.

He is respectably connected in this placc and this act must fall heavily on his family. We hope however that this admonition may be sufficient to teach him to go bis way and sin no more. He left the town on the noon train yesterday.

The Fourth at Yountsville. We understand that on Saturday last the 3d, was celebrated (for the fourth) with much spirit and patriotism in our neighboring village, Yountsville. It was for the most part a Juvenile celebration—the scholars of Mr. Gilkey's school, and one or two others, being the principal participants.

Rev. E. Rosel, opened the exercises by prayer. The Declaration of American Independence was read by A. O'Neall, Esq. Dr. W. T. Mullen, and Aaron Walter, delivered able, eloquent, and appropriate orations.

We understand that it was a regular "picnic" affair and after enjoying a "feast of reason and flow of soul the children, young men and fair maidens old men and old women one and all repaired to the shady grove and partook of a rich feast of the "fat things" of earth.

After dinner, the principal exercises were declamations, songs, fec., by the scholars of Mr. Gilkey's school, which were admirably porformed and just suited to the occasion. The exercises were closed by a speech from R. J. Fink, Esq., in which he paid a high eulogy to Mr. Gilkey as a teacher and complimented the scholars for their excellent performances.

We understand the Squire pitched in to the custom of uniting religious exercises with others, on such occasions. He tho't that the Declaration of American Independence was purely a political document and the solemn exercises of prayer and thanksgiving should be abolished on Fourth of July occasions. Ail theexoicisea passed off quietly, harmoniously, and patriotically and will long be remembered by the boys and girls of that pleasant village and vicinity of Yountsville. Long live the patriotic young scras abd daughters of old Ripley.

"Opening of the Campaign"—The Meeting on Thursday Evening—Robinson and McDonald Twin Cherries on one

Stem. Another of those political meetings which have assumed a sort of chronie character, under the attaches of the U. S. Couit during its present prolonged session, was held in the Circle, on Thursday evening. The general features of the proceedings were so like those of preceding meetings, that we do not design to notice them in detail. As anew actor, however, appeared on the stage, and as he is more intimately connected with the present canvass than any that have heretofore figured on the boards, we can cot, in duty to ourselves and our friends throughout the State, pass over the speech of that gentleman in silence. We refer to Hon. Joseph E. McDonald, the nominee for Attorney General. His speech would have been regarded as ill-timed and ill-advised, in many of its main features, had he been merely a hired orator for the occasion, and not a candidate for office. Occupying the position he does on the State ticket, and with his Seidensticker letter before the people, we must say that his speech en Thursday evening took us more by surprise than any speech we ever heard from any man on any occasion. He said many good things, and said them well. All that, we are willing to place to his credit, and let it pass. What we have now to do with, is his treatment of the Kansas question.

In instituting a comparison between the Democratic and Republican parties in reference to the Territorial policy of the government, he launched out in a bold and elaborate defense of the original Senate bill for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, which be gave the meeting to understandd he much preferred to the one which was finally adopted by the Committee of Conference. In arguing the wisdom and justice of that measure as he did, the inquiry instinctively arose in our mind, if Mr. McDonald could really have signed the Seidensticker letter, knowing what it contained, or whether, if he did sign it, he had not in his momentary zeal in defence of Lecompton, forgotten so slight a circumstance altogether. One of two things is certain—Mr. McDonald either designed that letter as a shallow cheat and humbug, or else he has since writing it, wholly repudiated the construction which he then gave to tho 8th of January platform, and which was intended to be given to it, by the Convention that adopted it. The incongruity between that letter and hiB speech on Thursday evening is too irreconcilable to allow the one to be taken as an exponent of the other. Not satisfied with thus placing himself in open hostility to tbe platform on which he was nominated, Mr. McDonald must needs go further and question the integrity of leading anti-Le-compton Democrats under whose counsels, he said, the movement against the Lecompton policy of the President was inaugurated. He 6aid there wore those among the masses who were honest in their opposi* tion, but- tbe active men, the leaders in the affair, were actuated solely by factions and ambitious motives. The particular pains which Mr. McDonald took to arraign the action of Democrats in reference to what we are, daily aud hourly, told is a "dead issue," was something which we could not account for. He undoubtedly has hi* reasons for doing so, and if it is a game which he thinks can be made to pay, no one will question his right to practice it.

Mr. McDonald was equally happy in his reference to the Crittenden Montgomery bill. He said that the Republicans had planted themselves on that measure, supported by a few men who pretended to act within the pale of the Democratic party.— These few '•pretended" Democrats who acted with the Republicans in support of the Crittenden-Montgomery substitute include, of course, the whole body of original anti-Lecompton men in Congress, English, Foley, Cox, Lawrence, Pendleton, and Groesbeck among the rest, as well as a majority of the leading Democratic papers of the North-West, and much the larger portion of the working members of the Democratic party. All this array of Democratic journals and Democratic voters who agreed with the Republicans in support of the Crittenden Montgomery substitute were sneeringly turned off by Mr. McDonald as "a few men who pretend to act within the pale of the Democratic par

For those who refuse to endorse the English "compromise," Mr. McDonald had no words of friendship or conciliation to offer like John h. Robinson, he saw in tbeth, only a-determination to join the Republican party and for one be was disposed to let them go. He spoke aa though his Democracy would be terribly soiled by a contact with them, and as though a vote from them at the ballot-boxT would be an aspersion which he conld not find it in his heart to feoVet. We hope everjrDemocrat throughout the' State who cannof conscientiously make the Eaglkhr dodge the ihrine of his soul's worship--the perfec­

tion of his ideas of popular sovereignty— the full measure of "equality among the States of the Union will not so far wotind the sensitiveness of Mr. Attorney General McDonald, as to cast a vote for him in October. Charity to him, and respect for themselves demand of their hands this little act of self-denial. From this time on, we part company with him as our candidate for that office.

In this sketch of Mr. McDonald's speech we have done him no act of injustice. The picture is in nowise overdrawn. There were features in which would, indeed, bear still stronger comment. Whether we shall take the trouble to again refer them, will depend very much on circumstances.

For the present, we will only add that if this "opening of the canvass" is an indication of the manner in which it is to be conducted to its close, the result is easily foretold. With equal ease will it be determined by whom the responsibility for that result will have to be shouldered.— National Democrat.

CROPS.

As the wheat harvest comes nearer we get more certain information of its value. Some farmers in this connty have been cutting during the past week, and many will begin this week. There will be little wheal standing in seven days anywhere south of the National road, and the harvest will be well under way throughout the North in that time. What the bad weather has done to the crops is known now nearly as well as it can be told till the wheat is in market. The information we get as this development progresses is not as cheering as it might be, though it is not so bad as was feared during the "wet term.". Th?re is a good deal of light wheat, and some that is hardly wheat at all, in fields that promised well up to the day the harvest began. We have heard of several fields in which a vigorous growth of straw, and large and well-looking heads, contained nothing, or only a grain so withered and light as to be worth nothing. It would be foolish to suppose that this visitation is confined to the few fields we have heard from, and we are compelled to believe that a considerable portion of the harvest in this county will be light. But, on the other hand, we hear that very good grain has been cut in the vicinity of the affected fields—seme as good as has been harvested in any ordinary year—and there are localities in which no rust or blight has been seen at all, and from which a full crop is anticipated. Taking the county over, we doubt if an average crop will be realized, but how much less, or whether any less, it is impossible to guess. There area number of farms in which a half or two-thirds average will be consideied a good harvest, and there are others that will do as well as they have ever done.

Over the State generally the newB brought by our exchanges is good, but such news is quite uncertain. One half is ob-1 servation, and a good deal of the rest is guess and hope, which the reaper's Bpear of Ithuriel, the "sickle," may show to be very unsubstantial, but still there cannot be a very general tone of cheerfulness without a general feoling of confidence that is not as likely to spring up from no seed or soil at all. The harvest has begun, and is nearly over in some sections, and from these the news may be considered more reliable than the-pleasant promise which we collected last week, and which constitute the bulk of our "exchange" news now.

The Cambridge Bulletin (WTayno Co.) says: "Wheat has been cut in this county the past week, and we can now safely say that the crop throughout the county is goad." And the Southern Indianian, of Gibson county, says that wheat in that county is not injured so much as was anticipated, and the greater part will do very well.— The Logansport Journal says that the prospect in that county is good, though the crop is injured by chess, rye and rust. The weight will be light but'the yield large. Other papers speak in about the same tone. We take it that the wheat crop of the the State, generally, will be nearly an average in quantity but the grain will fall short ia weight. This county, as far as she reportB enable us to judge, is not up to the average of the State, but our estimate is guided by returns from fields actually cut,'or examined tor cutting and abandoned, and those from other parts of the State may not be so well based. We hope they are. In the south of the State the yield will be better than in any other section.

The corn is spoken of in more cheering terms as the season passes on. Earley varieties have been planted in most of the sections whore they could be had, and with the yield from them, and the unrotted and growing fields of our common corn, we have some hope that a crop will be raised that will prevent any serious inconvenience or loss to farmers or others. There won't be much raised for sale, we fancy, but enough to answer for our own use will be doing very well, considering when it was put into the ground.—Ind. Jour.

An Ocean-Tiip in a Balloon.

J. Stenier, of Harrisburg, Pa., proposes to cross the Atlantic in a balloon 100 feet in diameter. He says in a letter to the Telegraph:

I am satisfied in my own mind that with 6uch an apparatus I could cross the Atlantic in seventy-five hours, and the whole cost would be not more than 820,000. The balloon, net work and valve would weigh about 2,000 pounds, and the boat and rigging 3 ton and a half—this will leave about 8 tons ascending power, for provisions, passengers and ballast.— It would require three good ocean navigators, and one astronomer, besides myself. I would suggest New York as the starting point, and am certain I would strike within 200 miles of any given distance in Europe. I would suggest May as the time for making the experiment, and would make the attempt in 1868 if I conld get the government or others to assist me."

THE LANE TRIAL.

The evidence in the Laiie trial is still coming out, though, we presume^ the case has been decided. The Chicago Press and Tribune, of Monday publishes tho eleventh day's testimony, from which we extract the following item:

Ray Green, recalled—I have said that if my pistol had gone off the second time Lane would not have got into the house: have told Nichols, of Topeka, that I wo'd shoot with Gen. Lane at three feet, or any son of a gan that would take it up.

A voice—"I'll take it up." Gen. Lane—"When you get ready to assassinate me, Green, just send me word."

Witness—"I never assassinate any man." The court here checked the flourish of bravado.

Witness resumed—The first time I pulled the trigger the pistol wont off the second time a cap snapped merely.

The court here said that when the pistol came into its custody, the first cap had geen exploded, and the second bsrrel was empty, having been discharged, thus proving that the witness had sworn falsely.— This was somewhat unwelcome to the prosecution.

Two men were called who were within one-fourth of a mile at the time of the firing, and who heard other reports before tbe heavy gun.

This discrediting of Green the chief witness for the prosecution is a thing we had not heard of before. If this testimony is reliable Lane has done nothing that any man of ordinary feeling would not do.— Ind. Jour.

The Eruption of Vesuvius. We take the following from the correspondence of the London Daily News, dated Naples June 5th, 1858:

The spectacles from Naples as grand as it can be. Vesuvius is girdled with fire, and from this girdle seems to drop down jewels of the utmost brilliancy. At times one spot becomes much more brilliant than the others, and then dense clouds rises up there has been either a fresh gush of lava or a mass has fallen off from the blackened exterior. In the intervals between the streams appear a thousand little lights, as though they were glow worms. These are the torches which visitors cary wiht them, but the journey is now very limited.— Swiss guards are on the mountain, and it is impossible to get to the Hermitage.— Palmieri, the Director of the Observatory, has fled, and the instruments are removed, for destruction is threatened to it by the stream at the back which is flowing into the Fosse di Faraone. So high is it rising that a very little more will send it over the Observatory. From Resina to Pompeii the mountain makes no sign—that is, no mouth has opened in the side. I went round it on Thorsday, and people were getting in their fruit, and buying and selling within a short distance of the lava which was destroying the property of their friends, seemingly as secure as though they lived a hundred miles from Yesuv ius and yet a crater may bo formed in a moment in an quarter, for the mountain is in labor

From Pompeii round to Ottajano there is more activity the lava has destroyed some woods belonging to the prince of that name, though it has not advanced further. Continuing the circle, one comes to what appears from Naples to be the left extremity of the gridle. Here, the stream coming down by the Fosso di Favame, has taken the direction of the stream of 1855, which flowed down toward the villages of MaBsa di Somma, San Sebastiano and Pollena. The right extremity of the girdlo terminates above Sesina, and appears to threaten it inevitable, though efforts were being made to divert its course into some of the deep valleys with which the mountain is traversed. Some intelligent inhabitants told me that they apprended no danger, as the stream divided itself into so many branches, flowing over old lava. It has, however, destroyed much property, and it is a fearful thought that within an hour's distance an enemy aB implacable and irresistable as fate is hurrying down—where, a caprice or a slight bend in the mountain, or a hill of stones may determine.

Meanwhile the scene at night reminds one of a noisy, crowded fair. On Tuesday night, Raid one of the guides, there mast have been 70,000 or 80,000 persons up the mountain. Allowing for exaggeration, or inability to calculate, still there must have been an immense number of people, who were not composed of merely curious strangers, but of all the rag-tag and bob-tail of Naples. As it was the Vigil of Corpus Christi, a great many went up, in all probability, for a spree. The official journal of last night, continuing its reports of Vesuvius, says that tho lava, which appeared to slop, had burst out tho day before yesterday still more strongly in one direction, destro) ing some vineyards and surrounding a house, and in another covering about 300 paces of the new road to the Observatory. The stream on the north side, following the lava of 1855, was proceeding toward Cercola and St. Giorgio, a branch road going through a district of St. Sebastian. One of the streams in the direction of Resina advanced ten palms—very rapid, when it is considered that the width of the stream is 580 palms. After nine o'clock, p. m.. its course quickened, and was directed between the chapel of St. Vito and Nocelle. Last night it was less vivid in this, but on the north side it was very splendid and poured down in great force. -. -.1 1.1"' -11'

Theory and Practice.

It would seem that Dr. Roback's "Scandinavian Remedies" have taken the highest rank among the standard medicines of the day. His theory is, that in whatever organ disease may show itself, its roots are in the blood. Hence his famous Swedish curative, the Blood Purifier and the Blood Pills are designed to act specifically upon the sanguineus fluid. One thing cannot be disputed, they produce most salutary effects even in apparently hopeless cases. Individuals who have suffered for years from dyspepsia, scrofula, eruptions of the skin, bronchitis, asthma, general prostration, liver complaint, rheumatism, nenralgia, and many other distressing maladies, report themselves, over their own signatures, as radically enred by a course of these Remedies. The claims of Dr. Roback's advertisements are therefore supported by competent proof. See Advertisement.

GRAVEL AND STONE.

By this we understand a collection of sand like substance having been lodged in the passage of the urine. When the system is in a healthy state this substaace is carried off by the natural passage of the body but when there is a weakness of any organ,especially the kidneys, urethra, or the bladder, causing great inflamation to those organs, and great pains and swelling, and great difficulty in voiding urine. It has been admitted by many physicians that Morse's Indian Root Pills are made out of some particular plants which have a wonderful charming influence in dissolving the substance which has clogged the pnssage, and by their cooling properties they expel an inflama. tion and leave the water passage, in an active & state. From 3 to 4 of these Pills night & morning, from one to two weeks, will decide how this dreadful disease is to be treated, and as they remove the cause of every kind of disease, it is utterly impossible for them to fail in curing the gravel, as they unclog the passage, and leave the parts in a healthy and lively condition.

Ten Cents a Shave!

We would respectfully inform our patrons that on and after Monday, July 12th our charge for shaving, will be ten cents. For hair dressing, as heretofore, 15 cents. It ia impossible for a Barber, to make an honest and shave his customers at 5 cents. That onr friends may understand our determination in reference to our prices, we make this publication, that none may give us a call, and go away dissatisfied. Remember, that commencing with Monday next, our charge for shaving will be ten cents.

Why is theDem&nd so Great for

DR. MANN'S

AGUE BALSAM

Because il| will, in all cases, safely and effectually cure that much dreaded scourge of the West—Chills, Fever and Ague—without fail, and in cases will counteract the poison of Malaria, of which fact thousands do testify and, unlike all other nostriime, it is only recommended for one class of diseases, and as a tditic it is unsurpassed. We will offer a few evidences of iti worth, by men of influence and high standing.

Princeton, IU., Sept. 20/A, 1857.

DR. MANN—Dear Sir: For several years past I have used your Ague Balsam in my clailj practic, and harp closely observed its effects in hundreds of cases, and in no case has it failed to produce the most happy effect. I can most cheerfully recommend it as a certain specific for chills fever and ague, ai.d malarious diseases.

Truly Youra, A. AUSTIN, M. D. Marshall, Mich.. Feb. 11 th, 1857, DR. MANN CO.:—I have sole a large amount of your Ague Balsam in this vicinity, and" from my personal knowledge of it, I believe it the best remedy for chill« FRV«P BIJ^ AGUE that has ever been sold in our State

Respectfully Yours. O A.HYDE. Athiabula. Ohio January l«t, 1858. MESSRS. S. K. OlAiNJN CO.—Gents: In canvassing the States of Ohio and Michigan for the sale of the different remedies of which we have control, our attention has been called to observe the great name that your Ague Balsam has gained for itself in every place where sold.— It really seems to be the peoples' own remedy, and its sales more rapid than all others. It is destined to supercede all other ague remedies in the market. Very Truly Yours,

A. & S.HENDRY.

New York, Feb. 23,1858.

MESSRS. S. K. MANN & CO. Gents: I have at our house in St. Louis sold your Ague Bulsam some three years, and have carefully observed its effects in curing, and must in all candor say, I do not believe its equal exists in all the world of medicines- To my personal knowl-: edge it has cured permanently every time, and I have known it used, after all other remedies had" been tried in vain with the most happy result.—• And what is more remarkable I have never known' a case but what remained cured, for at least that season. I have no hesitation in recommending it as a perfect triumph over chills and fever.

Respectfully Yours, PROF. O. J. WOOD. S. K. MANN & CO., Proprietors, Galion, Ohio. Sold by all good Druggists.
