G. Boot ; Secretary's, S. M. Davis u nd W. W. Slaughter. The President, Hon. A. Chambers, explained 'the object of the Convention. The Committee on Resolutions reported the following : Resolved, That we indorse the iiomr . inees on the Union State ticket,' and "the' resolutions of the Convention i which nominated them. Resolved, That we heartily indorse those patriotic sentiments of Andrew Johnson, that traitors should be pun-C ished and treason made odious; w i expect that he will -remember mercy in administering justice to the rebels. We indorse every act and measure of the President and Congress, that has for its aim and design the more firm establishment of the foundations of onr glorious Union on the immutable principles of right, justice and indis soluble unity of all the States underthe Federal Constitution. That patriotism 'and devotion to the National flag in the hour of peril, shall be hon-. ored and rewarded. And especially do we require at the hands of th j. president and Congress, that 4hey - shall protect the Uunionists in the late rebel States, in all their rights against domineering and ostracizing rebel oppression and tyranny. We demand that both Congress and the President, who were elected by the great Union party of the country, shall .,not disappoint the just expectation : of those who placed them in power; that they shall, as each have the same "nd in view the good of the country ; .respecting the manhood and honest convictions of the other. While they agree on great principles, each should

, . concede somethingto the other in the "details and the manner of the execution of them. Resolved, That those who sustained . irthe flag in the fields and those who " gave their moral support to the Government at home, are the only true conservatives, and that they, and they only, are the safe wardens of the public liberty and safety, and should a l one -be trusted; and that the party, which 1 carried the war to a 'successful conclusion is also abundantly able, and indeed is the only proper party to settle the question of reconstruction. Resolved, That as an additional declaration of our principles, we readopt and reaffirm - the resolutions Eassed by the Soldiers' Mass Meeting eld at Boonville, April 28th, 18G6,

and also heartily indorse that organic '-! ration. - .....,. Resolved ; That we pledge ourselves to erect a monument at the County scat to the memory of the immortal , heroes from Warrick County, who fell ' in the line of their duty ' on land and water, in defense of the Union against the cohorts of treason and rebellion. Resolved, That we indorse the county officers elected last Fall. We Tequire and demand of them an honest, faithful and efficient discharge of the trusts committed to their hands for the public good. No man, unfaithful to his public trusts, shall receive the least countenance or toleration from the Union party of Warrick -County. ,-.,.s . , .. On motion, the resolutions were unanimously adopted.

G. M. Davis, W. W. Slaughter secy : Run tbrous :iT the Country The Crops, Etc. Eds. Journal : In 'passing through the country, I have noticed with some interest the prospect ' presented in various places of the yield that nature and labor will probably make this year of grain and fruits of various kinds. My conclusions are quite different from what they were two weeks ago, especially in regard to the wheat crop. I am now of the opinion that in this one article, about which there has been so much apprehension, .the yield will be double what has been generally anticipated. I have been in Green, Sullivan, Knox, Gibson, -Vanderburg, and Posey counties, and, if the pros ' pects in these counties may be taken as an indication of the yield in the State, it is my conviction there will be more wheat, or as much, as there has been in the country as the yield of a single year, since i860. 1 base this conclusion upon the fact that the quantity growing ' ' is'- greater, and that without an 'exception the fields are clean, free from rust, fly, &c. The flour, biscuit, light bread and cracker-eating world may therefore rest easy as to any fears of having to live on "corn dodger," in 18G7. ; I think the prospect for corn was never better. A large amount has been planted, and the late raips and lustily. I would not venture to stat how much certain fields had grown in three days. Your readers would hardly believe me. The crop of potatoes will also be abundant, and I predict of a finer growth than we have had for5 years. ' ' ; v ' ' ' In Posey, Vanderburg and Gibson Counties, there will be an attempt to raise large quantities of tobacco. So far the prospect is good for a fine yield of this article, perhaps, the largest ever realized before. In the fruit line all is encouraging. Apples, peaches, pears, plums, gooseberries, raspberries though not . so abundant as is sometimes the casewill be sufficient to supply the wants of all for home purposes, and there are blackberries enough for all creation. . RELIGIOUS MATTERS.' - My principal business, however, has beencthe furtherance - of moral and benevolent interests. . ; j in ,uie rural district, it is tne cusr torn of all the people at this season to turn out, especially at protracted or quarterly meetings, or, as they are sometimes called, " Big Meetings." Women are not deterred for trifles as are our city church-goers; they carry and bring the babies with them. Sometimes there are fifty sometimes a hundred babies in the congregation, which in these warm days convenes in the grove, and sometimes they cry. Sometimes all cry, as if they were praising in concert. If the adults would do their part as .well (in .singing alone) as the babies, what li vely times there would be in worship. But the dogs come, too. Two of them had a. bully fight the other day, just as I rose to preach on the glories of Heaven. In another place the rain had driven us from the. grove to the church. Among the audience was a large Newfoundlander. He was much at home, but very irreverent trotting up one( aisle and ; dowii the other, and then in front of the stand until he attracted , more attention than the preacher, who was discussing on the Judgment.- Something must be doue. The preacher thought a moment, and said" Brethren,' the scriptures say, 'beware of dogs.' " Now do not give the dog more attention than you give your speaker." - The effect was good, and all atten tion was. directed to the discourse the Judgment,. But in a moment the dog discovered his mistress in the sec

ond seat from the front, and rising on his haunches he placed his forepaws on the top of the front seat, and expressed the joy of his discovery by a hearty ou-wa-oh-bugh ! The effect: Oh, gracious! who could hold their faces? Some were trying hard, but the effort itself was ludicrous. To check it, I said alluding to the judgment: "Brethren, this is a solemn scene," but they, associating it with the . scene before them- the dog's turning preacher could no longer restrain their risables, and for a minute there was an audible as well as a visible commotion. The mistress, seeing the tendency of things, retired, the dog following along, and thus ended the scene. All this happened in the State of G reen. LIBERALITY. Among the encouraging signs of the times is the increased liberality of the pcvpiK-Ju -uppyrun&uWMcu.Pl p J all benevolent enterprises. Being at Mt. Vernon Circuit on the 10th inst., it was found that there was a deficiency in meeting the claim allowed the pastor for the year, amounting to $435 and the year drawing to a close. This was an unusal deficiency, the largest ever known, by your correspondent, of the kind. The minister could ill afford to lose it. The church, a feeble one, knew not how they could meet it. The liberal ones had already exhausted their means. The Elder groaned over the burthen that was imposed upon him, and knew not what to do. A happy thought occurred to him, however, opening the path to success. In all there were five miuistars present. He rjuld draft them into the service, and call on each for 25 to start with. If these poor ministers eould give, others could; and they did. The name of L. D. Greathouse was called out for $25; Jesse Dayton, $35; Gilbert Templeton, $25; Edward T. Sullivan, (Major General on the occasion), $25; S." Greathouse, S50. Various .other persons were called out for $10, $5, $3, j?2, $1, and hats came in with the currency. The amount called for was raised quickly, and to crown the occasion, it was resolved that the ministers should be released from paying any part of the amount, and thai the This meeting was at Black's Meeting Iloute, in Black t.jsvnship, in Posey county. It was held in the grove, and the crowd was quite large, the township having largely turned out on the occasion. We never stood before a more orderly congregation. It was a basket meeting every body fringing their own refreshments. There were three sermons. One on "The Church, its Foundation and Permanency," by the Rev. H. R. Nailer, of Mount Vernon. One on "Consecration to God," by the elder; and one on . " The Centenary of American Methodism," by Rev. S. T. GillettD. D. Altogether it was i as pleasant a Sabbath as we have spent in a long time, and we are decidedly in favor of basket meetings. In view of the good things achieved on the occasion, the great order, the devout spirit, the fine attention, the liberal contribution, I intimated I would tell on them in the paper, audi have done so.

MEDICAL.

DR. .TOII1V BULL'S COMPOUND Oecli'on Bittei's ! THE LATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF THE 19th CENTURY. NO MAN'S NAME IS MORE IXtimatelv connected with the history of Materia Medica in the United States, or more favorably known as a pioneer of medical discovery, than that of DR. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, Kentucky. His inimitable preparation of Sarsaparilla has long stood at the head of the various compounds of that valuable drug. , . His Compound of Wild Cherry has become a household" word throughout the West and South., : ( His Worm Lozenges, in less than a year after their introduction, attained a reputation as wide-spread as the continent of North America. .But the crowning glory of his life remained to be attained in his latest, discovery, or rather combination, for he does not claim to be the discoverer of CEDRON, which is the basis of the Bitters now oll'ered to the public. That honor Vjelongs to the native inhabitants of OntraT America, to whom iu virtues have been known for more than two hundred years. Armed with it, the Indian bids defiance to the most deadly malaria, and handles without fear the most venomous serpents. It is a belief with them that while there Is breath left in the body the CEDRON is potent to enre, no matter what the- disease may be. While Dr. Bull is not prepared to indorse this extravagant pretension, he is nevertheless satisfied, from a thorough examination of the evidence relating to it virtues, that as a remedy and preventive for all diseases, arising from exposure, either to changes ol wcuihcr and climate, or to the miasmatic in'lucncc, it stands without a rival, and justly deserves the reputation it hsis an ions; -Mc-ved in Central America of s in ii ii us, n tx'-"- mure iiKr- a. ish.ii '. f h;:i a medicine. There is nothing in !i.rnnge of Materia Medica. that can lor a moment bear a comparison with it in this disease. A full account of this wonderful plant may be found in the eleventh edition of the U. S. Dispensatory, on pages i:j7 and 1M A series of experiments, in which Dr. Bull has been for years engaged, has Just been brought to a successful termination, and he is now enabled to otter to the public a combination of Cedron with other apfroved tonics, the whole preserver in the est quality of copper-distilled Bourbon Whisky, which he is' confident has no equal in the world. He might furnish a volume of certificates, but the public has long since learned to estimate such things at their true value. The safest plan is for every one to test for himself the virtues of a new medicine. Give the CEDRON BITTERS one trial, and you will never use any others. It is not neccssui v to publish a long list of diseases of which the Cedron Bitters are a specific, In all diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, or Bowels; in all Affections of the Brain,' depending upon Derangement of the Stomach and Bowels; in Gout, Rheumatism, and Neuralgia, and in FEVER AND AGUE, it is destined to supersede all others. It not only cures these diseases, but prevent them. ,, A wineglassfui of the Bitters, taken an hour before each meal, will obviate the ill effect of the most -unhealthy climate, and screen the person taking it against diseases, under the most trying exposure.
