Falling* Dews.
There are many of our patrons who, in the hurry of their engagements, have doubtless overlooked and forgotten, as a trifle, the small sum of indebtedness to this office for job work and advertising but as rivers are kept running by the drops of FALLING DEW, so it is necessary to our continuance that the FALLING DEWS should come punctually to the fountain head. By dropping your DEW into our pocket-book you will confer a lasting favor.
CRAWl'OBDSVILLE AND WANTS.
H£K
No person disputes the fact that Crawfordsville is situated in one of the most desirable portions of the State. Being in the midst of a fine agricultural region, the town has of necessity giown to its present dimensions. In'fact it has passed from a common sized country town to that of a thriving young city. On the country it has principally relied for its growth. There being no extensive manufacturing establishments it could not hope to attain to anything more than it has. As our society is at present organized, upon the completion of those in course of construction, we have enough business houses, and enough business men to all demands. Of dry goods stores, drug stores, groceries, saloons, bakeries, physicians and lawyers, Ave have enough, and to spare. For machine shops, foundrys, cotton and woolen mills, shops for the manufacture of agricultural implements, and all the lesser branches of manufacturing, there is abundant room, good facilities for shipment, and delightful homes for employers and employed. It is apparent to all who stud}'' the prosperity and decay of towns and cities, that the one thing needful to secure substantial and permanent improvement and growth of diversit}' of employments. No inland city can prosper by trade alone. A good field is now open for investment in manufactories, an investment that will pay the capitalist, and enlarge the borders of our city. Upon the the completion of the new railroad west it will open out coal fields which will make fuel comparatively cheap, and with our fine and abundant timber, no place in the State offers equal inducements. All that is necessary is for some of our wealthy citizens to bestir themselves in the interests of the city wear out the soles of their boots instead of the seats of their pants offer liberal inducements for manufacturers to settle here neglect no opportunity to advertise the advantages of Crawfordsville as a manufacturing point, and extend a hearty and generous welcome to men who bring money here to invest in in production instead of trade.
A SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.
The Covington Journal prints the proceedings of the Teachers Institute of Fountain and Warren counties, recently held at Attica, sent that paper by the Secretary, who signs himself "Prof. Wilkinson, A. B., Recording Scribe," in which occurs some high old spelling. We give a few samples: "accordence," "Proffesers," "Croffordsville," Tipa canoe," "herd" (heard), "arangement," etc. The report says that "Prof. Wilkins" gave an address before the Institute on Primary Orthography. We think he can claim to be an original speller beyond dispute.
JOSEPH MEDILL, Esq., of the Chicago Tribune, has been nominated by the Republicans as a candidate for delegate to the Illinois Constitutional Convention. ..
(JEMIXE SOUTHERN DEMOCRACY.
The Mobile, Ala., Tribune thus discourses on what Democracy means, in the view of your true Southern man. "If a true Southern man has any political status in a national sense, he is a Democrat. The only men at the North with whose views he honestly coincides are those who during the war were called 'Copperheads,' and who since the conclusion of the war have protested and voted against the enactments of a corrupt Congress.— The true Democrat believes that the Reconstruction laws ought to be overthrown at the point of the Federal baj-onet, if neeessaiy, and the negro should be deprived of the right of suffrage illegally conferred upon him. "When we abandon those principles wo abandon the Democratic party, and with it the forlorn hope of restoring the government as it was.''
O O
The Mobile paper correctly represents the "true Democrat," as that animal was exhibited during the last Presidential campaign.
THF VENOM OF DEMOCRACY..
It is well, now and then, to make a note of the doctrines, now current among our modern "Democracy." Here, for example, is a gem from one of the late numbers of the New York Democrat:
Let the present Administration, as has been suggested, dare raise a finger or point a bayonet to keep the people of Virginia, Tennessee, or any other State from their rights, and see how quick the giver of such order follows the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor, whose bosom is said to be a rest for the faithful whose bodies have fatted dogs from licking the sores thereon.
NEW STATES.
A proposition will be made at the next session of Congress to create two new states out of old ones, one by cutting East Tennessee from Middle and West Tennessee, and another by taking a portion of Arkansas and joining it to the Choctaw Nation. The East Tennessee movement is headed by R. R. Butler and other Stokes men in East Tennessee.
THE "Temperance Party" is a queer compound. All sorts of ingredients have been thrown in to "make the mixture thick and slab." And the concoction is of the most delectable nature. This heterogeneous composition evokes the following notice from the Detroit Post:
The National Anti-Dram-Shop party has started out well in the ha a up or it re iv •Brick' Pomeroy was pledged to its cause in the convention Ned Bunt-
line encouraged it by liis presence an is an a go Times has espoused it. The National Police Gazette has not yet has not yet been heard from.
SAYS the Warsaw Indianian: Mr. McDonald, who left at our office during harvest, some'samples of the Egyptian wheat, informs us that he has threshed his wheat and the average amount to the acre was 27i bushels, netting from the fifteen acres he had sown in that kind of wheat' four hundred and twelve and a half beshele. He says he is confident that could he have saved all that grew on the ground, he would have realized over 30 bushels to the acre.'
HON. JAMES F. WILSON says that he does not wish to be considered among the contestants for Mr. Grimes' seat in the Senate, although he might not decline the position if he was elected to it. He says he has long been from home, and is heartily tired and disgusted with political life in Washington, and now chooses to remain with his family.
THE Richmond State Journal contends that the election of United States Senators is among the acts requisite to reconstruction, and that, therefore, it will be not only the privilege but the duty of the Virginia Legislature to choose them at its preliminary session.
THE Knoxville, Tennessee, Press and Herald favors Andrew Johnson for United States Senator the Columbia Herald favors A. O. P. Nicholson the Hartsville Vedette favors 'Balie Peyton, and the Jackson Whig favors Milton Brown.

The Republicans of Howard county are of the true grit. They are none of your milk and water kind, that for Democratic patronage give their patronage to Democratic newspaper but instead they throw their substance into their own paper. The result is that they have a paper of which they may justly feel proud. They not only pay for the paper in advance, but at this particular juncture quite a number of them have paid for two, three, four and five years in ad an ha do is or the purpose of enabling the editor to build a "home for the Tribune.''''
