LETIEli FROM KENTUCKY.

Majfirld Its Population The Crop liJiMtaiy i'rosjx ct for Corn Sappe r lor ihe Ii -in lit of a Chnrcb Xew Way to i rt U!d of the BeUl A Church lnildent Politics and Candidates. , Mayfield, Ky., May 1C. Editors Journal : This is one of the most pleasaot twns in "Western Kentucky. It now contains about SCO inhabitants, and is situated in one of the largest counties in the State. During the la?t year many improvements have been made, and among them the laying down of a large number of sidewalks, euch as is known in your city as Class No. 2. The town is incorporated, and during the past year an ordinance was adopted requiring retail liquor dealers to pay a license of $ 300 a year each, and, as a resu't, there are but two establishments of that sort in the place. The corn crop alonsr the line of the N. O. & O. U.K. locks bad enough. The season has thus far been very backward, and farmers have been forced to replant their corn, some once, some twice, and sotne even three times. Where' the corn did come up, it has quite a sickly appearance, and will not probably come to much good. The growing wheat looks well, and will, if nothing befalls it, yield a good crop. On Thursday night, and Friday night last the good ladief of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Mayfield gave a grand supper for the benefit of that Church, and as a result realized a handsome little sum of money. Strawberries, ice-cream and the most delicioui cakes, prepared by, or under the direction of fair ladies, tempted the appetite, and were partaken of by all with the greatest satisfaction. Both evening- were spent mot pleasantly ; for a while in singing, with piano acaompaniaTent, and then alternating with promending, and so on until a reasonable hour, when all returned home, feeling no doubt pleased and happy. I am told that Mayfield is honored with the presence of many lair and lovely young ladies all marriageable, of course who are destined to make many a man's life happier and more blissful. I noticed two young gentlemen from Evansville in the assembly, who entered into the spirit of the Enjoyment with a hearty good will, and apparently proved themselves most agreeable and pleasing to their fair partners, and why not? Evansville gentlemen are not at a!! wanting in gallantry. Not many miles from this p'ae, on last Sunday, a preacher who-e congregation was distressingly small, grew warm and eloquent ou th: --inject of attending church, and kctured those in attendance severely. . Ia the course of his remarks he stated, as a reason for the slim attendance, that the devil was among the people. The appeal being oft repeated, forcibly impressed the mind of an urchin in the congregation, who had just thought of a p an to gf t rid of rliis ! .troublesome customer. On appealing j '.again to the congregation, and re-as-serting that something mutt be done j to get the devil out of the midst of 1 the people, the urchin broke the solemnity of the occasion by crying ; out, " Pa, get the Ku-Klux after j him; they will lift him out of his boots." It is needless to say that the j benediction soon followed. The boy j of course did not know that the K. K. K.'s were on the devil's side politically. Aside from the impeachment question, which teas all the tiilk, there is little to excite the people. Of course.the dominant party have things all their own way, bat the contest will, after a while, be a lively one, since there are five or six candidates for each office to be filled. The desire of Democrats for office in this section of the State, like in Indiana, is insatiable. The Union men have no candidates in the field, and of course are not at all particular which of the candidates for the various offices. Circuit Judge, Circuit Clerk, Sheriff, &c, are successful. "Incog." KENTUCKY CORRESPONDENCE. Paducah Its Easiness Prospects Its Streets The Tobacco Trade How the Impeachment Xews was Received Union Men Despondent and Rebels Joyful Railroads, Ac. Paducah, May 18. Editors Journal: This city is certainly more prosperous at the present than at any f ormer period of time. Its business has greatly increased the last year, and at present the prospect looks quite flattering indeed, but it is plain to be seen that the spirit of old fogyisno has to entirely died out. 4 The tobacco trade of Paducah is the item. There are three large tobacco warehouses here, and all are doiDg a splendid business. Last Saturday the firm of Hale, Buckner & Co. sold $18,000 worth of that article, which may be considered a splendid business. At a commission of one per cent, a handsome sum was realized for a single day's transaction. Mr. Buckner, of tli's firm, was formerly connected with thi house of Miller, Gardner & Co., of your city. Paducah is most pleasantly located. The city has a neat appearance, and the streets are all in a splendid condition. For the grading of the streets, . sort of gravel, found in the corpcr-

: ate limits in unlimited quantities, is ! "ist J. This gravel contains a sum- ' ci jet quantify oi iro ore to render ! tiie streets very hard when laid down, and I am informed that it seldom breaks or rives away, being even more durable than your bowldered streets. It would be a fortunate circumstance for Evansville if such gravel was of easy access at a comparative small cost; then the best of streets might readily be made. The citizens of Paducah indulge in the wildest speculations about railroad interests, and feel confident of the ultimate completion of an air line road from this city to Memphis, which, it is thought, will create the necessity of connecting at Paducah with the Vincennes & Cairo Railroad. So far as the Elizabethtown fc Paducah Railroad is concerned, all with whom I have conversed admit that its completion is at least five years in the future, but they insist that it will be builded. It is understood that the most of the stock for building the road is now available. This being the case, Evansville did not move one minute too soon in the matter of the Evansville, Henderson & Nashville Railroad. The firm of Fowler, Lee & Co., wharf boatmen, have a monopoly of

that business here. Ihey have two large wharf boats, and do an immense business, and I see no good reason they should not, being excellent business men, prompt, and with all courteous and agreeable. I have not met a more obliging gentleman than Capt. Joe Fowler, the senior of the firm, I believe. As you are aware, there are three newspapers published at this place. The Herald, by J. C. Noble & Co., a tri-weekiy and weekly paper; the Kn'uckian, a daily and weekly paper; and the Gazette, a weekly paper. The Kentuckian was but recently established, but its circulation is increasing rapidly. The Herald is the oldest aper, having a good circulation, also. iiice the Kentuckian was established. the Ihratd has materially improved. Competition s the life of trade. The dispa'ch bearing the intelligence of the vote on the impeachment question was received here wi'h great satisfaction by thoi-e who uow call themselves Democrats, while Union men were discouraged and disheartened. They locked f orward with the greatest anxiety for that ecd the impeachment to be accomplished, and now that the vote has been taken, evince the greatest disappointment. Something of how much those Republican Senators who voted " not guilty" will have to answer fo, may. and will be learned soon, from the Union men in this State and farther South, when the increased wail of suffering reaches their ears. Could they have lived for twenty-four Eours in certain parts of this State, and learned the condition of things the direct result of Andy Johnson's misrule if prompted by honest motives, they would have seeu things in a far different light. Had Andrew Johnson been removed, and an honest man been placed at the head of our national affairs, Union men in Kentucky and South of this, would have had a hope; but now they are filled with desponding, and this despondency is the more sensibly a.nd the more heavily felt since it has been brought about by the action of those to whom they looked to for help. Surely the condition of those South, who stood by 'the old Government and the flag, is not at all an enviable Qne. We shall see what we shall see. " Incoq." JE5od.iji.iii IVXinefc.

The obvious reason is, that it is a more reliable aud far more effectual remedy than any other. Those wlio have tiled it know that xt cured them; those who have not, know that it cures their neighbors and Iriends, and all know that what it does once it does always that it never fails through any fault or negle t of its composition. We have thousands upon thousands ol certificates of their remarkable cures of the following complaints, but such cures are known in every neigh borbood, and we need not publish them. Adapted to ail ages and conditions, in all climates; containing neither caiomel or any deleterious drug, they may be taken with safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves them ever fresh and makes them plea-ant to take, while, being pmely vegetable, no harm can arise from their use in any quantity. They operate by their powerful influence on the internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it into healthy action re-i.-ove the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of the body, restoring their irresular action to health, and by correcting.'whcrever they exist, such derangements as are the first origin of disease. Minute directions are given in the wrapper on the box Jor the following complaints, which these PILLS rapidly cure: Fcr Ihisoevtsia or Indinention. L, ntles&ixess. Langour, and Lost of Appetite, they should be taken moderately, to stimulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone and action. For Liver Complaint and its various symptoms, Bilious Headache, Sick Headactie. Jaundice or Green Hicknesg, Bilious Colic, and Bilious Fevers, they should be Judiciously taken for each case, to correct the diseased action or remove the obstructions which cause it. For Dysentery or Uiarrhaa, but one mild dose is gene' ally required, ft For Kheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Pa!pitation of the Heart, Bain in the Side, Back, and Loins, they should be continuously taken., as required, to change the dleaed action of the system. With such ctange those complaints disappear. i or Dropsy and Dropsical Swe'ltngs they 6hould be laken in lartre and frequent doses, to produce the effect of a drastic purge. For Suppression a large dose should be taken, as it produces the desired effect by sympathy. As a DINNER PILL, take one or two Pills, to promote digestion and relieve the stern acb. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite, and invigorates the system. Hence it is often advantageous where no serious derangement exists. Cue who feels tolerably well otten finds that a dose of these Pills makes him feel de cidedly better, from their clea ning and renovating effect on the digestive apparatus. DR. J. C.
