( Jortio.v. of Inliaimpoh'j, who of late years had cast Lb lot with the Democracy, is unable to .swallow the ?kvmoitr. IIlair pre scription of the New York Council of Democratic Doctors, and makes bold to declare that he is going to vole for iRnt and Cot.pax. The Evansville Courier lias some most unfortunate editorial writers. One day it publishes a highly eulogist'u! editorial , endorsement of .a gallant soldier for Congress and the next day the "responsible editor," sseeing the political mistake, is forced to say the " proprietor " didn't know what he was about. : ... On Saturday on one page of the paper .it has ad article on General J RANT, contrasting "ilia repulsive truths of his moral character, and the utter iiiMiHima of his intellectual gift " with the moral grandeur and intellectual greatness of the bondholders candidate, Seymour, claims to quote Henri Ward Eefx'HEr to sustain his bhameless assault on J rant. Rut on the very next page it unwittingly publishes a telegraphic dispatch in these words: Henry Ward "Reedier is out' denying that he favors Chase, and compares liTantwith Washington. - The Democrats attempted Vratificatiou meeting on Thursday night at Indianapolis, but it is reported the dullest affair of the season. It was a regular Democratic ; funeral, hugely enjoyed by the Republicans. The dispatches and papers from all parts of the country report that the nominations excito no enthusiasm among the. Democracy,. but is highly relished by the Republicans. The selection of Rlair for Vice President proves especially objectionable to the " faithful." The New York ' Convention could hardly have done anything better for the election of Grant and t'OLFAX; Fcnny. It is highly divertieg to Fee the efforts the Democracy arc making to convince themselves that the nomination of Seymour is "just the thing." The organ of the Vanderburgh Copperheads has a magnificent piece of editorial rhetoric on the nomination, entitled " A Splendid Triumph!" The only triumph descernaMe is that of the New York bondholders over the party's favorite, Pendleton, snd his financial theories. The Ijia? Charscs Against General Veatch. The reckless villih'cation, forgery and slander of the Indianapolis Seiitint'I is notorious. But in none of its charges is this more apparent ihan in its baseless and totally unfounded charges against General Veatch. The only one of its allegations which it made in any tangible shape, wo l.romptly proved, l,y tJie official r-.' rdx, to be "a lie made out of whole rioiu. iue vvamck Herald answers it in auother and as conclusive a manner. The Herald of ast week says: ' ' We have taken the pains to bury one batch of the H-ntineCt lies, in the following incontrovertible manner liOt with the expectation, however that its future lies would be lewer in number or less gross and malignant

in character, but simply to Vive our readers a general idea of the means

adopted by the democratic jeauers ; gull the people into their support" m the coming elections : Newbukoh, Ind., July 7, 1868. We, the undersigned, who were members of the Twenty-fifth Indiana Volunteers, and participated with tbe rt Viment in the battle of lort Donelaon, being desirous that a brave and gallant soldier should not be slan3ered by his enemies who staid -at home while we were ngoung ior wie preservation of the country, hereby declare that the followicg extract from the Indianapolis Sentinel is a willful, malicious, and unfounded lie from beginning to ending, and we hereby denounce its author a3 a dishonorable, dishonest, cowardly, infamous, and contemptible scoundrel: The truth of history must be vindicated. Jlis(VeatchV) regiment, the gallant Twenty-rlith, was not under his (Veatch's.1 immediate command at Fort iKjnelson. Every man in that regiment knows that Ueulemtnt-Colonel W. H. Moriran commanded the regiment In the bloody conflict, ai. Fori Uoneisou, and that. Oeneral Veatcli lingered in the rear until I be surrender of the rebel forces, and then, bedecked in his new military trappings, upon wliicli there was no smell ot gunpowder, undertook to place himself at the head ot tbe regiment, and claim a participation iu its gallant deeds, bat the stinging rebuke administered by LleutenantCoionel .Morgan made his feathers fall, and lie again slunk back into the rear."

If n man will wilfully and mali ciously lie in one instance he will in another, if operated upon by similar influences. - The enlinel now stands convicted as a common, malicious, depraved and wicked liar, by proot which no man in this county will deny. Lieutenant Charles Lucas, who lives ncross the river in Kentucky, and whose name stands second on the list, is an uncompromising Democrat, and although a brave and gallant Union soldier, will not even vote for General Grant, and, if he resided in this State, would not vote for Veatch. It is too much to expect the Senti ncl and other Democratic papers to publish anything which contradicts their infamous lies, and it is too much to expect them to even quit lying. " It is enough for the people to un dcrstand that the Indianapolis Scnti net is convicted by its own political friends, or rather associates, as a lying, malignant and contemptible newspaper. . .

Editors Journal: Everybody is out of town, and I am lonesome. The Churches, Good Templars, Sunday Schools and Benevolent Societies, have a grand excursion to North Bend, sixty miles out on the Union Pacific Railroad; the steamer Turner takes a large crowd to Bellevue Grove, twenty miles down the river; the Star Skandinavisk (North-European League,) consisting of a thousand or two Danes, Swedes and Norwegians, has a grand fancy ball in the grove back of Capital Hill, and the Germans take the Trioli [sic] Gardens for the day. But for me there is no enjoyment in crowds where I cannot count a friend, and I prefer to communicate by letter with those left behind. The thermometer ranges from 92o to 98o, and the sun pours his fervid rays into dusty and deserted streets— no, not entirely deserted, for underneath my window, monopolizing what shade there is, I see Mr. Low, of the Pawnee tribe, who is dressed "cool for the season," in a style that in your city would soon bring him before Esquire Stinson, but here it is naught accounted of! My little project, detailed in my last of going on to Sioux City with the traveling party, came to an abrupt termination, from causes I shall relate. The party of five had two horses drawing the wagon, and two others to ride and hunt with. On the 25th last, we had a grand time chasing a young wild hog (perhaps I should say wild pig,) in the marsh near Maple Creek, which we caught, but not till the horses were pretty well blowed as well as ourselves. The pig was fat, and the meat, though coarser and more stringy than that of the domestic porker, had a rich, gamey flavor, and was very good. But the next day, our best riding horse, most unaccountably, lay down and died. His owner naturally felt discouraged, and swore he had been ridden to death, which his then rider denied, and swore he had been poisoned, which is my private opinion. Such a radical difference of opinion, with about ten inches of "busthead," in this longitude of course ended in a fight. The other boys took sides according to fancy while I, according to <my> fancy, remained "invariably neutral." Without me it was three against two and the horse owner's party got badly whipped. The expedition broke up and I footed it back to Ida City where I spent the night. This city, on Maple Creek, in Ida County, consists of one house, stable and milkhouse. The population—Mr. J. H. Moorehead and family are noted for their

energy and intelligence, came here fourteen years ago, have got everything nicely arranged and keep a good hotel. In 1862 they had to leave on account of the Sioux, who destroyed many of their improvements, but fortunately did not burn their dwelling. East of them stretches an unbroken prairie for thirty miles, and South for the same distance, which I must traverse in one day for want of a stopping place. So on Saturday

morning the 27th, with lunch in valise and the latter in hand, I took my way across the "Big Divide," which separates the waters of Maple Creek from those of Boyer River. These "divides" are quite dangerous at times in Winter, and no one ventures to cross them unless the day is quite clear and the weather settled. Two years ago five men froze to death on this road, three of them travelers, who ventured across against the advice of old residents. The other two were brothers, who started early in the morning with a wagon and three yoke ot oxen to go from Grant City to their farm, thirty miles distant, and were overtaken by a sudden snow storm. A week afterwards their oxen appeared at Grant City, but it was useless to search for the men while the snow lay from three to five feet deep over the whole country. When the thaw came they were found within two miles of their home, the younger brother laid out, and his limbs decently composed as if for burial, and the elder sitting by him. It was evident the younger, who was in feeble health, had given out first, and his brother had refused to leave him, and survived him some time. This district of Iowa is quite high and rolling, in fact hilly, and the roads generally follow the ridges. Fortunately for my comfort, two gentlemen had just opened a stock farm, twenty miles out, in a beautiful valley. At this Arcadia I took supper and rested till the cool of evening, then trudged on ten miles, to Denison, on the Northwestern Railroad, taking the night train for this place, which I reached early Sunday morning. I found my way to the office of our former townsman, Mr. Jeremiah Behm, who looks as if Omaha air agreed with him. He took me in and did me good, and together we have explored much of the city and neighboring country. On Tuesday last we walked out to his farm, some four miles west of town, on a series of beautiful slopes leading to the Papillon Valley. He is improving it fast, breaking sod, planting trees and fencing. The grasshoppers have injured his wheat a little, but everything else is in fine growing condi tion. Improvements are going on all around, several farmers there having planted this Spring as many as twenty thousand trees each, are cultivating the land in corn which gives the trees a fine start. Another neighbor, I observed, had a fine grove of forty acres, now some years old, planted in natural <i. e.> irregular order. Nothing can exceed the beauty of these young groves on the prairie slopes, and in ten years one can have as much timber as he wants, and where and in what order he wants it. The Papillion Valley is quite a little paradise, where "Grain and flower and fruit Gush from the earth until the land runs o'er!" The corn there will average waisthigh, and the yields of wheat are the heaviest I have yet seen in the West. Probably there is no place in the West which has elicited more inquiry and been the subject of more misrepresentation, both of unmeasured praise and slander, than Omaha. I have been assured on one hand that it was "<the> live place of the West," "the great Metropolis of the future," " the heart of this continent beats there," &c., <ad nauseam per contra>. I have read in more than one correspondence that thefts and murders were of frequent occurrence here, thousands of people were out of employment, and begging their way to the East, that the town was "a kiting concern," "a speculation," "had no basis," and I know not what. Naturally, then, I felt some curiosity to see a place of which it seemed impossible to learn the truth by report. A few facts, then, by way of introduction. Omaha was laid out in 1854; in 1860 it had a population of 2,000; in 1864 of 4,000; in 1866of 10,000, and this year by census completed a few days ago, its population numbers 17,106. The city stretches up and down the Missouri, along the plateau or second bottom, about one and a half miles, and as I view it from Capitol Hill covers about half the area of Evansville, but has more than half as much trade as your city. It has a fine climate, healthy location and good water; is in the midst of a splendid agricultural region; is the present terminus of two through lines of railroad, and in a few months will be of two more. Now look at the map and you see there can be no great city west of here between this and the Rocky Mountains. All the trade from Wyoming, Montana, and Nebraska, and most of that from Dakotah, Utah and Colorado, must eventually center here. Take this in connection with what has been done, and its future growth is reasonably certain. But here is the trouble in all this Western country. Men will discount their fears and lay a premium on their hopes. The world is all before them, their range is all outdoors, and insensibly they learn to talk big. I sometimes fancy it is in the air, and men breathing this light, healthinspiring atmospere, like the Delphian priestess, go mad on enchanted air, and talk in strains of poetic exaggeration! Lots and situations are held not at their present value, but at what they are expected to be worth ten or twenty years hence. A speculative glamour has been thrown over everything, which makes many doubt its real merit, which is undoubtedly great. The great increase of 1867, the rapid extension of the U. P. R. R., and the exaggeration too natural to the Western mind, created a spirit of wild enthusiasm among the young men of the Northern and Eastern States, and with the opening of 1863 there came thousands of book-keepers, clerks, salesmen, grocerymen, artists, professionals, and the like, all bound for the " future Metropolis of the great Northwest." Of course there was disappointment and many hard stories told of the place. There are perhaps some five hundred clerkships in Omaha, and an old resident, whose position entitles him to belief, assures me that from January 1st, to June 1st, there were five thousand applications for such places. For days the streets seemed like those of New York, so thronged were they with men who had come here "to seek their fortune." Of course there were many disappointments and some suffering; not much however, for there is considerable to do in this country, and provisions enough for those who will do it. Many of these men worked their way on west, others south, some had money enough to return home. About one in fifty got positions here, and hundreds went into the country, and let in to tilling the soil. And

=====

this leads me to the real beauty of this country. There is no discount on the soil. I have seen hundreds of acres of the very finest corn growing within a few miles of the city better, I know, than can be found just now anywhere in Central Indiana, and in this business there is room for thousands, yes, tens of thousands. "Room for one, room for all; Room in the greenwood, if not in the hall." In other Western States, the farmers came before the market, and old citizens can well remember when wheat sold in Chicago for forty cents per bushel! But here the market is ahead of the farmer, and must continue so for years to come. One-half of all the butter used in Omaha comes from Ohio, one-third of the garden produce from Chicago, onehalf of the grain from Iowa and Missouri. Nebraska has never raised enough to catch up with the market, and the farmer has his choice of a market to three of the points of the compass, and that towards the West rapidly increasing. The valuable land of the State lies in a strip about one hundred and fifty miles wide, along the Missouri, back of which is some two hundred miles more of grazing country, which brings us fairly to the Desert. I will remain in this vicinity two weeks or more, making one excursion to the Elkhorn Valley, and another southward of the Platte. Would be pleased to answer any special inquiry from friends in Evansville as to this country. The heat is awful. There is no use attempting to describe it. Hottentotissimo! Double distilled coloric! [sic] The biggest superlatives don't reach the case. I thought it was hot a year ago in E., but this beats it. Small children are covered with red blotches, pigs squeel [sic] with misery, dogs lie in the water, hogs in the gutter, cattle lie in the river with only their noses out, and people lie generally. Nobody is expected to tell the truth, the weather won't admit of it. Cooking stoves are clear out of fashion, for we expect soon to cut overdone steaks right out of the cattle's backs. All the chapters on "heat a conductor," have been torn out of the school philosophies, and a man who walks fast or talks earnestly, is in danger of a writ <de lunatico>. My health is much improved, but I am washing away in perspiration, literally running to waste. BEADLE. ---<>--- Indiana Items. A brute of a husband, named Euget e Ileffeman, beat his wife in such a shameful manner, in New Albany last week, that her life is dispaired of. Only twelve thousand dollars remiin to be raised by Putnam County, when the Trustees will commence the erection of tbe Asbury University at Greencastle.

A few niahts ago as a Mr. Joseph S. France was returning to his home in Fort Wayne, he was knocked down and robbed of a fine gold watch. Several persons were arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the affair. A man named John McKenzie, while mowing a few days since on a farm near Rloomiugton, Indiana, was struck down by the intense heat of the sun, from the effects of which he died in a few moments alter.

The Kentuclk-y 'Statesman says: "Thomas Henderson, aged eightytwo years, fell dead, a few days ago, at Lowe's Station, on the Covington Railroad. He had walked briskly to the depot in order to purchase a ticket to go to Paris, Ky. He bought the ticket, turned away from the counter, and fell dead. A very large force of workmen are at present employed :n the construction of the great bridge over the Ohio River at Louisville, and the Bridge Company have offered the contractors a bonus of $75,000 if they will have the bridge completed the present year. It is believed the work will bo accomplished. The work is being pushed with the utmost vigor night and day, and all the men that cau labor to advantage are employed. The draw span over the canal is already completed and in use. The towboat V alid took a locomotive and twenty-one cars up the Kentucky River, from' Louisville, on the Dth inst., to operate on the new Louisville and Cincinnati Railroad.

The Taylorville Flag says:' During the past two months over a dozen persons have been killed by lightning in this county. We are pained -to record another death from this cause Edward Canantz, living on Henry Hauck's farm, six miles west of Taylorville, was killed instantly during the storm of last Monday afternoon. He was in the field plowing, and his fall was witnessed by his wife and others. One of his horses was killed at the same time. Wm. F. Graves, residing about six miles and a half west of Mt. Carmel, was struck by lightning last week and instantly killed. - He was out in the field plowing when the storm came up. lie stopped his team at a small tree and ran a short distance himself to get under a large tree for protection against the storm. He had been there but a few minutes when the tree was struck by lightning and the electricity passing down took effect in him. A difficulty" of long standing between Thomas Haidt and Thomas Nichols, of Mt. Carmel, culminated in a shooting affray in that city, last week. Nichols fired four shots, one of which took effect in one arm and another in the hand. Nichols was arrested and held to bail in the sum of $200. The Rockford. Gazette states that upwards of a hundred Democrats a majority of them Fenians participated in the Republican primary elections in that city recently, and pledged themselves to vote for Grant and Colfax. , The Cairo Timet says Texas cattle are pouring into the State both by Cairo and St. Louis.
