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.

FOR i'OlB DOLLARS.

We will furnish the JOURNAL and the New York Independent together with a copy of Ritchie's steel engravings of Grant and Colfax, on the receipt of lour dollars. The Independent is a large family weekly edited by Theodore Tilton, and is itself worth the four dollars. The steel engravings are everywhere pronounced very tiine and retail at two dollars each. Try this opportunity to get something to read at a small cost.

THE TIDE OF TRA1E.

Nearly §3,000,000 in specie were shipped from Liverpool to New York during the last ten days of September. Beside this amount, gold has lately been shipped to this country from the Bank of France also. This is money drawn from banks in the Old World to be used in trade in the United States In view of these facts the New York Herald and some other journals claim that the tide of trade is evidently turning in this direction- Whether the prophecy be true or not. and it is probable that nothing more than a temporary change can be expected, this state of aflairs is in happy contrast with that from which this country has so long been sullering. While the United States lias been the center of pro gressive ideas, and has possessed all the elements necessary to make it the center of industry and trade, our gold and silver have been drained by imports from the markets of the Old World. Yet the growth and substantial developement of America have never been equaled. Millions of laborers have, rushed to our shores and we have been able to furnish them with labor at prices sufficiently higher than their old wages to make them more than content to remain. If this could be accomplished with the constant flow of specie to Europe, what might not be the result if the tide of capital as well as of labor should turn this way Our forests, prairies, mines and railways offer inducements to capital which have never before been offered, because the success of our institutions has been established. Why may not European capitalists see this also.

VIRGINIA.

The President is said to have informed Lieutenant Governor Lewis, of Virginia, that he was confident there would be no obstacle to the admission of that State into the Union, provided the Legislature showed a willingness to forego old issues. He added that he had no preferences for Senators from Virginia, but that they must be able to take the test oath.

WHILE sensible people are regarding the present abundant wheat crop and consequent cheapness of food as a peculiar blessing bestowed upon laboring men by Providence, Pendleton, the Democratic candidate for Governor of

Ohio,

dismally

howls,

"wheat is $1.18 to $1.23 and very dull, hence hard times for laboring men!''

THE IX1HAXA STATE FAIR.

The State Fair, wliibh practically closed last Friday on account of the great boiler explosion oil the grounds, was financially, and in most other respects, a success. The receipts amounted to about $21,000, some 82,000 more than last year.

The exhibitions proved what the agricultural and industrial statistics of the State already showed, that Indiana has vast capacities for production. The display in the agricultural and horticultural departments was very fine, though in the case of some articles, especially in the agricultural department, it was indicative rather of great plenty than oi special care in the production.

Indiana was able ictun most of the premiums, although there was quite a number of exhibitions from other States. The best lot of heavy draft horses was furnished by Ohio.

The crowd in attendance was very large, too large for the accommodations at the grounds. The amphitheater should be circular, and made large enough to seat thirty thousand people instead of six thousand, its present capacity. Most of the halls are too small by half, and there is a veiy great scarcity of shade trees. But the Society, we hope, is already taking steps to remedy these defects.

REPORTS from the St. Louis Agricultural Fair, being held this week, make it a grand success.

THE Woman Suffrage Convention of St. Louis convened yesterday. The friends of the movement anticipated a full attendance and a harmonious sitting.

NKAKT.Y two weeks have elapsed since the great gold speculation in Wall street, and yet several firms have not found out whether they are broke1' or not.

ACCOUNTS from various portions of the New England and Middle States report great damage to crops and railroads from the late heavy rain storm.

THE progress of Hanover College is very satisfactory to the friends of the College. There are now in at-J grand Union Depot for this kind tendance double the number of students the last Collegiate year closed

Tar: Tennessee Senatorial election will be held on Tuesday, the l'Jth. The Legislature, as at present organized, is ollicered from Middle and West Tennessee. Andy's old home being ignored.

ILLINOIS, according to the Chicago I'o^l. may yet raise a big crop of corn this year. Damage from the frost of last week is not nearly so serious as was at first reported, most of the corn being too far advanced to receive any material damage.

BARNABAS C. HOBBS, Superintendent of Public Instruction, has decided, in answer to the inquiry oi' a Trustee living in Carthage, that colored persons having a preponderance of white blood are entitled to the privileges of the public schools.

THE Virginia State Legislature met on Monday. The Senate organized on a strict party vote. The House succeeded in effecting only a temporary organization the first day. The election of a United States Sena tor will be one of the duties of the session.

POOR Packer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, who worth onl}' about fifteen or twenty millions, don't pay his taxes, but gets his rich neighbors, who work in the mines for a couple of dollars a day to support the government.

IT appears from the statements of Captain C. F. Hall, who has spent five years in explorations in the Arctic regions for remains of Sir John Franklin's party, that there is no further room for doubt that every member of the expedition long since per­

ished.

CKAWFOEDSVILLE JOUKNAL: OCTOBER 7,1809.

On examination of young Clem and his father, for murder at State Line, the former was committed to jail without the benefit of bail, and the latter placed under bonds of 810,000. In the case of young Clem an application has been made for his release on a writ of habeas corpus.

INDIANA achieved a magnificent victory at the Kentucky State Fair, held at Louisville week before last, capturing four money prizes out of five, and two complementary premiums on best plows exhibited. The monej* prizes were taken on best sod, best stubble, best one-horse, and. best three-shovel plows. The premiums were for best double-shovel and the best display of plows. These plows were all from the Premium Steel Plow Works of S. Horney & Co., Richmond, Indiana, and were placed on exhibition by J. G. Stiltz, the well known agricultural implement dealer of this city. The premiums were taken against competition from Ohio, St. Louis, Illinois and Kentucky manufacturers—a Louisville firm taking the only other prize offered— a fact that should make every Hoosier feel proud of his State and her manufacturers.—Ind.
