Facts About Newspapers. How many profersional and political reputations and fortunes have men made and sustained by the friendly, though' unrequited, pen of tlo editor? How many erubrjo towns and cities) have been brought into notice and puffed into prosperity by the press? How many Itailroads,. now in successful operation, would hare foundered but for the "lever" that moves the world? In short, what branch of industry and activity has not been promoted, stimulated nnd defended by the pro? A nd who has tendered it more than n miserable pittance for its service? Tbo' bazaars of fashion and the haunts of dissipation are thronged with an eager crowd, bearing papers in their paluia, and the commodities thus vended are told at enormous profits,

through intrinsically worthless, and paid for with scrupulous punctuality, whilethe counting-room of the newspnperis the place of Jewing, cheapening- trade, orders and pennies. It is made a point of honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dishonor to repudiate a printer's bill. Republicanism at tho South. Intelligence from nearly all portions cf I . . jt' .'i ' 1 : i I no oouin, indicates vcrj inj'm lonm of the Republican sentiment in tho lato rebel StaUs. Tho people aro wearjiog of their present condition, and getting anxious for aomo settled govcrnmeut. They seo that it is their own politician! and not the Itepublican party, that aro defeating tho organization of local govern uicnta there, and keeping them out of representation in Congress, and are manifesting a willingness to honestly accept the situation as it is, and to fall in with tho ouly political party (the Republican, that has the ability to do anjlling for them. Another Darinn Robbery. Recently four men catered tho residence of one of the Commissioners cf Itipley xounty, and robbed him of $1,000 in Ripley county bonds, 81,000 in county orders, and some greenbacks. We did not hear the name of tho Commissioner, but our informant says he is quito an old man and highly respected. At tho time of the robbery no person was in tho houso but the old gentlemen and hi wife. - The Surra tt Trial. In the Surratt trial, Saturday, the evi dence regarding Jake Thompsona complic ity in tbo assassination, the possibility of telegrnph communication between Washington and New York, and the Ducll letter, wero ruled out. The summing up on the part of the prosecution was begun, and the arguments will probably continue through the week. National Bank Troubles. The Unadilla National Bank of New York, which has suspended, had a capital of ?1 50,000, jowned by the President, Ar nold R. Watson, and. Cashier Clark J. Haves, and their relatives. Its liabilities amount to 8200,000. Its embarrassments are said to be due to somebody's fast liv ing and wild speculations. The Receiver of tho Newton, Maesa chusotts, Nationat Rank, baa collected and forwarded to Washington the list of its liabilities. Tho discount rotes amounted to 8110,000, f 00,000 of which have been collected, and 810,000 moro arc con sidered good. IM Gov. Throckmorton Removed. Gen. Sheridan issued on Tuesday a general order removing (lorcrnor Throckmorton, of Texas, nnd appointing in his place K. M. Pease. -- i i Virginia Reconstruction. The Republican paity Is making rapid headway in the Old Dominion, and tho 1st of August Convention promises to bo an iuiposiu;.' gathering. Tho whites of two moro counties (Pittlvania and uilhc) havo mot and choson delegates to represent them in this' Convention. Among tho resolutions adopted by the former wero the following: ' irirmn, Tho Congress of tho United States is the only power tint is able to restoro tho State of' Virginia to her former position in the Union, and her inhabitant to their civil and political rights; aud U'Am-fM, That Congress has offered, as the only terms of re-adiuiiteiou to the t!n ivuf iL ai otnmonly known as tho Shcrman &helluburger bill; therefore, be it 7t'WtW, Uy the people of Pittsylvania county in inns meeting assembled, that wo accept the tonus of restoration offered us by Congress, and will labor faithfully toj-t'stote Virginia to tho Uuion upon that b0MS. The people of b'mytho rcsolvetl, oiuong other things: 'That wo approve of tho Convention to bo held in tho City of Richmond, on the tint day of next month, for the purpose of harmonizing nil true friends of tho Union, and perfecting tho organization of tho Union Republican party. 'That wc recommend to the people of thetatoof Virginia, to co operate with tho Union Republican party, in order the more speedily to effect the reconstruction of th bt;ite. "That we recommend that (ho people of Smytho county support n? man lor tho Convention, to form a Constitution for the Slate, who docs not openly identify himself with tho Union Republican pur-J-" Prominent chitons wero selected in both counties as delegates, including cxConfderae officers and leading politicians. It is believed that were tho Convention to bo postponed for a few weeks, it would embrace 1 white delegatus from nrirly every county in the Sutc. Important Resolution. Tho following is-11 resolution introduced by Mr. Julian. It passed by a vote of 100 to IH: Resolved, that the doctrine avowed by the Prv&idciit il'the Uniud Statu in hu

menage to Congress of tho 13th inst., t tbe eflect that the abrogation of the governments of tho rebel States binds tbe nation to pay their debts incurred f rior to the late rebellion, is at war with the principles

or international law, a deliberate stab at the national credit, abhorrent to every sentimcntof loyalty, and well pleasing only to vanquished traitors, their allies and sympathisers, by whoso agency olono the governments of saiu states wero overthrown and destroyed." A Virginia Criticism. . , t . . The Richmond Whig, in .noticing7 the recent groveling speech ef. Montgomery Rlair, at Rockbridge, Alum Springs, in which bo found fault with all aides, but especially tho Republicans, says: With every disposition to deal kindly with Mr. Rl iir, wo aro yet constrained to say that we do not sco that any possible benefit ean result from his speech. Its only aim appears to bo to excito hatred agaiast an opposition to tho dominant party. Thero is nothing of a soothing charactor in his speech, and this, too, at a timo when wo $0 much need tranquilizing agencies. Ho rccms to forget that ho who bails Irom tho other lido of tho Potomac, wae for a vigorous prosecution of the war, and was a conspicuous member of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, can speak out with unrestricted fiilom ttt wit) tori! loly, but that wo of tho Southern States have to speak with "bated breath" and to act with prudent circumspection that wo aro under bonds for our good behavior, and are, besides, in honor bound to obrcrvc the obligations of our parole and to comply with tho terms "of tho registration outh. If Mr. RIair's rather pointless speech shall bo attended with any effect, that effect will be to stiffen the necks and inflame and strengthen the opposition of tlioso who . can see no good in tho Congressional plan of reconstruction. Our opinion is that auch speeches aru in (ho last degree indiscreet. Nor do we reckon it generous in any man who is himself unfettered, and who is subject to no risk, to encourago among us by his speeches a courso of action which must, if followed, bo attended with difficulties and dangers. We hopo that this will bo Mr. RIair's last speech in irginia until at lenst a favora Lie change has bean wrought in our tsitu ation. . LETTER FROM HARRISON. Vr. AWiVwr, The aun of prosperity still rises in beauty and glory upon our quiet garden village, and we trust that each heart beats in thankfulness to tho great Pother of all for His many 'mercies. True, business has been quito dull for so mo time, and but few of our citizons har been making any great additions to their wealth, yet we all move on and still live. The great excitement last Sabbath waa the dedication of the splendid new Methodist K. Church. .Tha day was nuspioious, although the morning was somewhat cloudy, but the pcoplo camo from Cincinnati, Cleves, Lawrenceburg, and a few from Urookvillo, and the House of tho Lord was well filled. Rev. Dr. I.W. Wiley, Kditor of tho Ladies' Repository, gave ua tho morning seimon, which was rich in truth, Bound in argument, and thoroughly convincing in all the points evincing the divinity of our holy religion. Dr. Wiley is a chaste and beautiful speaker, and demonstrates tho fact that he is a scohlar and an accomplished Chiistian minister. Rev. C. Ferguson, of the Cincinnati Conference, gave us the evening sermon, which was pound, methodical, and I pre 4 u mo clearly orthodox and appropriate. Tho houso was full of tho best and most intcligcnt citizens of tbe country, and the audience from a distance wa well entertained by tho hospitalities of tho members and fVtends of tho Church. The subscriptions were large, and the liberality of the Duilding Committee in subscribing" each $r00 additional to what they had already given, was highly commended by all present. Tho entiro eost of tho edifice, which is certainly tho finest now in the Whito Water Valley, was 818,000, and it is all provided for but about St ,500. 'lhe Ruililing Committee, consisting 01' W. W. Davison, Win. turner, Uoo. Yv. Keen, 11. L. Rrown, N. Leonard, M. L. Thomas, and Joseph West, havo done nobly, and dome tho lifotimo remembran eo of every one who feels any interest in good and substantial Churches. Rev. W. H. Reed, the Pastor, fcols no doubt grcfltly'rvlieved that this one groat object of his micslun among us has been accomplished, and us his two years' services aro nearly cIohoJ, he will now retire from this field with many plcarant memories. Dr. Jas. Thompson, lato of St Paul, Ind., has purchasid the Drug Store of Dr. Sidwcll, lately owned by Dr. M.L. Thomaa. Dr. Thompson is n regular gradunto of the Medical School of Chicago; was a vuluablo burgeon in (he army lor three years, and served as Medical Director for the Western District of Kentucky. The Doctor, though a young man, bus attained to a fine eminence, I learn, as a surgical operator; ho will no doubt bo a valuable addition to our Medical Fraternity. Dr. Clark has returned from his trip to Missouii, and I think was benefitted in health by tho j iunt. I have not learned whether be bus finally determined to remove to that tato. 1 will bo gUd to hear that he has resolved not to movo at all. Wo havo but few better phjsiciaun than Dr. Clark. Tho Christian Church aro making the necessary preparations to put up a 81-.000 buildihg. '1 hey cau do it, and it ought to bo done. . (Jcorgo Rowlhy is doing a fino business in tbe Real Kstato line, and bus on hand for talo a large amount of lands ' and a number of good and very cheap residences. Harrison is it pleasctit place to live in, and all who contemplate moving to a new place would do well to look at our town beforo locating.

Mr. KdiloTj In th'orse of human events it becomes rv ssry for mo to writo another letter f t this city, la order lo j$traighten o hat I said in my former ieputle. ' I au; "Und, '' very' much in the fix"oT' tLe roaunbo attended" "tho party Wd asked the question of ' a neighbor, 'Who is bat ugly old fat crcaturo tossing her head so; ostcntaiiously .over there?" "Thot that," said tho 'gentleman, "is my wife." '"O, 1 don't moan," said tho poor man, in hopes of getting out of the awkward predicament, "I don't mean that one with the silk dress on, but that ono in lduo lawn." "O, that' replied the noighbor, "is my oldest daughter." ,4Well now, my good Prion J, Pyou will accept of my hat and lot me off," replied the poor fellow, "I will treat to the best ü'cit this town can turn oat." Just so it is in tho present instanoo with your undistinguished correspondent. It will be remombered lhat I did not notico or say ono word in my Icl'er about a great many of the most dittlifjuUhtiil and clever tvu'yrantt now living in Decatur, but wro "bornal in your fertile and productive County, and they are' therefore, and in conicqueneo of which, at nil times and in all places, worthy of tho highest consideration. And I now say by way of tho ameiuU honorable, that I would have named them one and all, personally and genealogically, but as some good author says, "timo would have failed me and tho world would not contain tho books which would have been written." Now I think tho above apology fully pays for the "ihtera." ' It is a general fact not known to the Gentile world at large that Greensburg has just at this time so many city distinctions and individual celebrities that it would requiro a much more prolific and comprehensive pen thaoI can wield to "do any sort of justice to the subject." For instance, in tbo simple enumeration cf broken-down, used-up,' laid on-the-shelf, Methodist Preachers nttmlf I they have Rot. Lewis Hurlbut, Rev. Asbury Wilkinson, Rev. Jarnos Crawford, and Rev. Jacob Miller, with some two or three moro in hopeful prospect of the same high and honorablo ministerial ' destiny. 1 have long known them alLaud I am moro than willing to say, whatever may have been their talents as preachers they were all la borious men, and undoubtedly did in their day a work for lue Church which should givo them the respect and kind regards of every decent Christian. Perhaps a more powerful organ 'cannot bo found in the State than was in use a few months ago in the old Methodist Church of this place. It split the Church info about two equal parts, and built another church edifice far better than the old one. Nothing equals its power in these parts. Rev. C. Tinslcy of your Methodist station at preseut, many say, set tho organ to going and did all tho mischief, I reckon from what I have heard from a number of tho nti-orgauists, that that act and deed in bis history , will give him several ttars in 1 ne ci own 01 11 is rejoicing, ny oui friend and parishioner, 1 rumau Merrill, I learn, gave 91,000 to build this new ontiorgan Church, and rays, I think, f CO to support their present Pastor. Let the good hite ater peorlo send over, if they need it, and buy this organ, and it will make things wbis about them. Some people may not like organs much, but I think with my grand old Chorister cf the olden years, Joseph Wilkinson of your town, that when the people have lost tho spirit aud power of singing, and only as few have to mako all the music for tho congregation, it is well enough to have an organ to make the worship decent and respectable. I confess, under tho circumstances of tho ngc, I diu an organ man. Rev. John S. Winchester, who is, and has been fromjtho beginning tho Pastor of this Centenary Church, I doubt not merits very considerable i-rcdit in its erection. Ho has preached them and built up in nuuibcrs a very til h congregation, I was glad to learn thatj 0 Presbyterian Church of this place have' ccured the services of Rev. John C. Irwli, a very ablu and elo quent divine, who will no doubt attract to that Church many who have not been in Iho habit of hearing ecrmons. Tho congregation have agreed to givo him a salary of 91,800 per annum, aud in addition have insured his life (or tho liberal sum of $5,000. I did not have the ploasuro of hearing Mr. Irwin, but l iormcd his acquaintance and found him to be a gentloman of evident talent, simple and easy in his manner, and possessing tho unassumcd bearing and humility of a Christian min ister. Cong may he live to stand before his present congregation as an efficient upbuilder of the Church of God. Passing from tho subject of Churches to that of old Franklin County l'ticndj, will uerhaps bo apropos, as that is tho subject which I intended should absorb this entire letter. I regretted to learn that Samuel Shiik's health baa become 10 delicato that ho has given up his business. The houso of J'iymond k Shirk has chanced to -Raymond Si Itobbins. John Raymond is vet a youmc man, but as a business" man scarcely any from Franklin buve excelled him. . 1 met on the street tho other day the mother , of Miss M, Louisa Chilwood,' who is making her home in this place, che still looks young, but the marks of the said bereavement occasioned by tho death of her gift cd daughter aro thinly visible and stand out upon her cou j enanco even amidst her most genial srniliM Indeed, I can never myself, even, thint pf tho young and sweet Poetess without cüotions of melancholy of tho most tuysftiious character. Sho wrote so touebiogly, and always in lan gunge which was music in itself, of life, of lovo and friendship and Heaven, that I sometimes havo almost imagined that .' she was caught up to the beautiful homo of tho loved and the lost by tbe inspirations of her own songs. - Sho died young, but (he short story of her life was brilliant with tho gems of an imperial being. Favored with only n rural existence; blushiic into piiclio lifo liko tho modest rosebud of the garden, it was perhaps not strange that some mysterious hand pluckod it and carried it away when no-ono of her thousands of admirers was dreaming of her exit. Her memory will be perennial, and Iho muio Of her song will bo heurd along the coming centuries.

In kindred and sympathetic association with tho lost one above. I may here speak of Mrs. Col. Gavin, nee Tucker, formerly of yourCounty.- Mrs. G. for several years has been gradually sinking into a state of mental disease, which Is considered by the Physicians of the Asylum for the Insane as perfectly hopeless. Sho has now been for some time in the Institution, and it is probsble she will there end her duys. - Rut my pen is is growing sad under tho beclouding 'power of these melancholy subjects, and I will close bv saying that it may bo some timo beforo I can talk to your roaders again. I have other offers at prescht which I must embrace, to make

wbst Iran honestly and honorably,-lhat I may rid myself of that most terrible itcubut called "(' .That done once, and I wont call the king my uncle, "or any other man," unless he is a gentleman, and belongs to tho Church of a decent and charitable . humanity. I am pretty independent as it is, and intend to try to be good, to do good, to make tho world better, and oil tnen happier as fur as in me licth. So inoto it to. , ... W. W. Hidden. Laurel, Ind, July 29th, 18G7. Mr. Mitortl am very " sorry that I havo, in eclf-dcfcn?o to answer tho very ungentlcmanly commuulcation . publiabcd in your paper, of the 21st inst. from tho pen of Prof. O. J. Peterson, where he charges' mc with duplicity In assuming to be a citizen of Laurel after a residence of nearly twenty years. Rut thero is no knowing what education, will do for some pcoplo, and not having had tho advanta ges of a collegiate education I could notof courso learn to call men skunks, narrow, minded bigots, tie., tlo., because they did not too fit to embraco my particular dog. mas or notions. Why did tho Prof, pour out all the vials of his wrath on "Citizen?" Why tako no notico of "Obed," who was equally personal in bis communication of tho same date? Tho truth is, tho Profossor wants to be what brains will never mako him. As to tho charge of my being employed by the firm of, merchants alluded to, is only an imagination of that same Profe. muddled bruins. His assigning me to do tho dirty work will be a very small job, as thero would be no dirty work to do whero he has left. Strango as it may pceni, ho had tho manliness to confess that some of my statements wero true, 'with falso coloung. . The coloring consisted in the very explanation ho makes of his introduction to the. firm alluded to. Reing a stranger, be was taken iu; of course, he pays, as long as his money lusted and was spent at these headquarters of small talk. It may bo they were a littlo more wiso than be, and did not wish to be taken iu with big talk. And then things did cot go on so welk, especially after he met one of the "suckers" in broad daylight with pistol in band. Who or what he means by "sucker," I don't know, and may be the "sucker'' only had a plug of dog-leg tobacco in hia hand. I don't know anything about it. I am sure I paid nothing about the Professor's bravery or cowardice. Ho denies having received any benefits from said firm. 1 don't think I said be did. 1 think I said, when they were no longer useful to hiin. You acknowledged you transferred yourfclf to Messrs. Henry and Ilszard, because they had moro goods, more customers, and sold chespcr. Do they sell goods below cost? No, sir. It is just as I charged. It was to bo near tho Treasury and Trustees, that you might wheedle them to employ you to teach tho school, as you were well aware if it had been left to a voto of the District you could not havo gotten it. Rut, so fur as I am individually concerned, I don't care who has it, and but for your egotistical summary I should never have noticed you. I did say I believed there was not a Christian in Laurel that would object to the establishment of another church in the place. If tbcre was, I hod to hear the first word of objection which was true, and until I saw your effusion of the 21st referring mo to tho senior member . of tho firm alluded to, I still believed so.. I, havo not seen the gentleman for tho last twelve days, and know nothing about what ho said tu insult the lady; and from tho fact of his haviug apologized for anything bo might have sni J, I think ought to be satisfactory. In conclusion let me say that I did not blame tho Prof, for bis non-attendunco at church. ,lt was for culling some Christians narrow-minded bigots, when bo did not attend himself. 1 know I did not attend myself for four years, but I did not charge those that did with being narrow-minded bigots, becauso I got my back up at ono of the preachers. 1 don't think tho church suffered much on iuy account. It seemed to move along just as well as ever. I was the loser, and not the church. That was very naughty in you, Professor, to suy you would not break any windows in my houso, after dishing mo up to your own liking, and throwing a great big stouo at my poverty, after confessing those respectable merchants had strapped you. I guess Mrs. Smith and Jeffries of Shelby villo thought you was in that fx before you came to Laurel, 'as you had forgotten to pay them a little bill of some thirty dollars for fiuo bonnet, veil, &c. Now, Mr. Professor, I havo done with you; you can pitch in and say just what you pleaso about my name, poverty, debts, Äc, ns every body knows I ara living on the interest of the money I owe. It will not bo any news for, you to tell them so. As to your interference or non-interfer-euco about somo purclusa of machinery, it is something about which I am perfectly in the dark, and of which I know nothing. Good bye , . . . ours truly, . Citizen. Accepting the Inevitable. . Tho New York World bos undertaken the heavy task of boiting common sense into the heads of its Democratic ootoroporarics and tho Southern enemici of the Reconstruction acts. An experience of tho unprofitable nature of Democratic opposition to the rcsoluto purpose of Congress to enforco its own policy on the lato rebel States, has convinced tbo World that the Democracy and its Southern friends must accept the situation, and that the truo policy for both is to reorganize tho South in tho mauncr defined by tbe acts of Congress on that subject. It say that it is Reless to agitate. for a repeal of tho exist inir Reconstruction Jaws, for if tho Demo crats wero certain or carrying all elections hereafter, it would bo, four sears before they could rcmunaud a majority iu tho euatc, oud in tho meantime tho rcicl

States wjll bo reconstructed and represent-

eu in congress. . In view of this state of facts it adrists the Democrats of the South to register, and thus Disco themselves in a position to use such influence as they havo in the work of reconstruction, and thinks they will act very foolishly should they do otherwise. The World has also made the discovery that there Is a vast deal of humbug in iho fuss made by Democrats about tyranny, military despotism, and the like, in connection. with tho legislation of Congress touching tho rebel states. It sees that military tule is intended to-be temporary, and that it can bo shortened or extended by the Southern people -themselTes. It sayt : "Rcfore six years, before. four .years, probably before two , years, in all likelihood before one. the cxoluJod States will be back in, the Uoiopif not on a white basis, then on a black one.. The moment that takes placo, these laws full of themselves, and there is no reason why we should fight a four or six years' scries of campaigns for the aako of gibbeting their dead bones." ; , .. . t. True enough. These laws will have accomplished their end when the States affected by them come back, as they are invited to come, and if their people have half the repugnsnco to military rule which tho Northern Democrats affect, they will basten the process of reconstruction. Their representatives tnibt have been in Congross months ago had the dominant party of tho South turned a'dcaf ear to the Democratio sorcerers who advised tbo rejection of tho Constitutional Amendment. They might have been well advanced in tho work of reorganization under the subsequent plan, had they not paid too much need lo tho same blind guides a .second time; but we hope that tho folly of further resistance is rs patent to them as tt teem to bo to the leading Democratio newspaper of tho city of New York. If tho people 01 ine late rebel Mates so will it, recon itruction can be perfected in all theso States within one year from this timo, and in some of them in much less time. Jour nal.
