Julian a circular, wlilch Ii published in another column, under (lit bovo title. 51 r. Julian writes us that be ball at once call meeting in Iiis District and also in tbat part of our District which has teen attached to the- new Fourth, for tho pur pose of currying out the resolution adopted by the Union lleputlican Senatorsand Members of the Fortieth Congress. This la a Most important movement, and we hope Mr. Julian will meet with the succcsi which it tninentljr de?erTCS. Important Suggestions A communication is published in anoth- ' er column investing that our people- hold Countj Convention on Saturday, 24th J lost., to nominate Union candidates for County Commissioner and Clerk of tho Court.' The suggestion is an important one, and timely. What ay our friends? Shall wo allow the eicctioo to to by de fault? or hall we nominate a pood ticket and ahow our strength as a party in old Democratic Franklin? Let us have a tick ct, eay wc. Tennessee Election. Dispatches from Tcnneovceare sufficient to indicate that tho State has been carried by the Union party by a largo and gratifying m-jority. Fortunately the anticipated riots did not petvail, all accounts agreeing that the election was one of the most peaceablo and orderly ever held in tho' Slate. Latest dispatches place the Kadical majority at 50,000. All of the eight Congressmen were clectsd by tho Iladicals. Doth branches of tho Legislature ara overwhelmingly radical, which injures the election of a U. 8. Senator In place of Patterson. There was a great demonstration at Knoxvil'e Saturday night, In honor of the Union triumph in Tennessee. Governor Urownlow and Iloraco -Mayoard roae "peecles. It is reported that the former has said that in h'u message to tho Legislature he should recommend that tho fram-titM bo extended to every male citico over 21 years old. War on Secretary Stanton. The President's wir on the Secretary of War continues, but docs not promise to bo wceessful in bringing about the lattcx'i resignation, tie now claims that, notwithstanding the tenure of ofTice law, he baa the power to remove hiia. If the Attorney General does not sustain this theory, he will endeavor to make the Secretary to uncomfortablo that ho will be forced to resign, but Mr. Stanton'a friends ay he U prparJ to stand any amouuit of ench p-c-isur. den. Grant stands by the Secretary of tVar steadily. Maximilian. Prom official documents in tho Stato Department it appears that Maximilian, immediately after his capture, stated to Kseobedo, that ho had formally abdicated, and requested ou that ground to be allowed to depart from (he country. Hut if a victim was necessary, he offered himself, and asked mercy for bis suite. It is also laown that fonie time previous, Maximilian made a propoial to Secretary Seward, to withdraw from the eoatitry on board a Aan of-vrar, while the people of Mexico should take a voto on the coutinuanco of the Empire, but our Minuter of State refused to eattcrtain the proposal. Wheat Crop of Indiana. The Indianapolis Journal .avs that the wheat crop of , the State is estimated by mj of our prominent dealers at about seventeen bushe! per acre. Tho usual average i between twelve and thirteen bushels. With tnis view thero doc not eem to be much fear of enough of the Ptaflf of lite. Hypocritical. . The rebels of Tennessee who eo loudly prdTeed their disinterested friendship fur tho negroes before the election, are making plain their hypocrisy now by turning ofF 11 their colored workmen who failed U voto in accordance with their command. It in probable that considerable distress will result from this action, but it will not be likely to win the favorable regard of the negroes. . ' Registration. Last Monday and Tuesday the business of Registration wa attended to in the various Townships of our County. Lists will, bo posted' up in each Town obi p for iu?pectioo, and if any correction are to be made, the lists wilt be perfected ten days before the election.

The Presl Jcnt and Mrs'. Surratf. At the special request of tho PrcKidcnt, and by his authority,-it has beca widely telegraphed that Mr. Johnson was not awato until two months isinco, and then through a piivatc source thut any members of tho comuiisbion united in recommended Mrs. Surratt to mercy. Ho also authorized and requested a positivo denial that tho recommendation was officially brought to him. Having thus publicly joined iosue with Judgo Picrpoht, tho latter made tho following forcible statement concerning the matter in open court: jctxiE ritnroNi'd statement. I want no misunderstanding about that. I do not intend there shall bo any. Thai is pntt of tho orignal record which I hero produced. It is in the handwriting ol one of tho members of that Court, to-wit: General Lkin. Tho original of that is now in his possession, and in tho handwriting of Hon, Jdo. A. IJingliam. When counsel called for that record, I sent on the afternoon of that day to Judge Advocate (Jen. Holt, in whoso possession the records ore. IIo brought it to mo with his own hand, and told me with his' own voice, in presence of three other gentlemen, that that identical paper, then a part of the record, was before the President when he signed tho warrant of execution, and that ho had a conversation with the President at tho ttmo on, the subject. That is my authority. Subsequent to this, having presented it

here, the Judge Advocate General called to receive it back, and reiterated in the presence of other gentlemen the same thing. . This is my knowledge, and that is my authority. This statement of Judgo Picrpont raises a direct question of veracity between tho President and JuJjo Holt, but it is well understood by all in official circles that the whole thing is, on the part of tho President, a dalibcrato and malicious falsehood. Secretary Stanton Invited to Resign. Tho following is the correspondence between tho President and Mr. Stanton concerning tho resignation of tho latter; .310. JOHNSON TO Mtt. STANTON, ' AuorsT 5. ' Consideration of public instercst will persuade mo to accept your resignation, if tendered. This Mr. Stanton received to-day, and replied as follows: MR. STANTON TO MR. JOHNSON! August C. Considorations of public interest have prevailed with me to hold this offico for months past, and considerations of public interest, will prevail with mo to hold it till the assembling of Congress. i 1 ' ". . - ! " ; ! Collision Threatened. The Washington Intelligencer caye the powers conferred on General Grant by tho construction act, are of no account; that the President will enforce the act without interference, and if necessary will use the army and navy toiecuro obedience to his cotrtiiacds. County Claimi. Since the Pay Department began receiving claims for additional bounties, 273,330 claims have been received and recorded, and 132,000 have heen received wliich have not yet beflo recorded. , It is thought thero are 30,000 yet to come in, making over J35.000 in all. Of these but 73,425 have been paid, for which payments $G,G33,0ft0 wcro required. The business, at the present rate of doing it, will bo completed in about six year. Alabama. Itcpabliean mass meetings ara wow in progress all over Alabama. The total reg istratiou in tho State is 112,100. Of (his number the blacks count up 05,700. Louisiana. The registration in Louisiana Ls complete, but the revision will tako several weeks. AH who registereJoa the strength of Attorney General Stanbcrj's opinion1 will bo "stricken off the rolls. ' Maryland. The Maryland Constitutional Convention passed a bill of rights Wednesday, one section of which demanJs of the National Govcrnmenteompensation for slaves liberated during the war. . Fight with Indians. There aro report of a fight with Indians in tho vicinity of Fort Hays, in which tho United States troops were, as usual, worsted. Struck by Lightning. During tho storm on tho 1st instant, tho barn of Mr. Klias Schenk, near Valparaiso, Indiana, was btruck by lightning, setting tl)3 building ou Uro and burning it. to tho ground with its contents, including three hundred bushels of wheat, sixteen tons of hay, fanning-mill, kc. The loss is about f 1,400, on which there ii an itijurancc of SC00. During tho tlundor storm Thursday, the residence of Mrs; Gwathmey, in Howling Green, Indiana, was struck by lightning, tho electrical current entering by way of a stove flue, and coining in contact with a piano tore one leg of the instrument into splinters, and passed out through the floor near the wall. Mrs. Ariadioa Minor, a daughter of Mrs Gwathmey'H. was in tho hall, and so near the electric fluid as it passed that she was severely shocked, rendering her speechless fur tome time. The house was fiilel with tulphurous stench and smoke, but uo fuithcr tvidenccj of fire followed.

County Convention. -. Llilor Indiana American, I have been watching tho columns of your paper for some time p:ist to sco if pur County Con-

tral Committee had madd any move or call for a Convention for the nomination of a Union County Ticket to bo voted for at the October Klcction. If they have made no move, or any one else, I suggest that we have such a Ticket in tho fiaid, and would also name Saturday, August 24th, as a proppcr tiaio to hold such Convention. I would suggest the names ol euch men at Silas H. Scrring, James McClure and William Udert for County Commission ers: also tho name of J. F. McKce for Clerk of tho Franklin Circuit Court. Brook vi u.E. Valley Railroad Northward. Theitichmond pcoplo are getting anx ious about the direction the W. W. V. P. IL will tako after leaving llagcrstown. The Itichmend Tih-gram thus comments We are reliably informed, that if wc press the completion of this road through to Fort Wayne, tho road now being made from Cambridge City to llagcrstown will be made to Mundo and from thence to Wabash. If our road U net built, in stead of aking their road to Wabash it will be run to Fort Wayne, consequently making tho construction of this road the moro difficult, and indeed almost useless. Certainly our citizens' will see their great interest in this question, and tho necessity for immediate action, and thcrcforo give it their earnest support. Blackberry Wine. There is an extraordinary largo crop of blackberries this season, and consequently they are very cheap, and as thero arc more than enough to supply the uso of them in every other chape, the surplus should be made into wine. There is no wine equal to blackberry wine when properly made, cither in flavor or for medical purposes, and all persons who can conveniently do so, should manufacture enough for their own use, as it is invaluable in sickness as a tcnic, and nothing is a better remedy for bowel diseases. We therefore give the receipt for making it: "Measure your berries and bruise them; to every gallon adding 'J pints of boiling water. Let tho mixture stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasionally; then strain off tho liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight, and let it stand till tho following October, and you will have wino ready for uso without further straining or boiling. This makes a most excellent and palatable wine." , Midge. Mr. L. 13. Lewis' article on this subject!, published in our paper a few weeks since, has been extensively copied. Mr. Lewis has received from a gentleman unknown to him, tho letter wo append below, 'considering it of general interest: Kenton, Hardin Co., O. ) July 10th, 1807. f L: .11. Lewis, Esq., Dear Sir: I learn from the Advocato, of July 10th, that you are troubled with tho midge in your wheat. It is perhaps not known in your community, that there is in Ohio, a wheat that is proof against tbem. We have-proved it for eighteen years. It has never failed, on accouut of the niidpe sowed early or late. It was first raided in this county; began with three head, with a man by tho name of Isaac .Lambert. It is sown in one hxlf of the State, or more. It is mostly depended upon where the midge is bad. It is also sown in the western part of the Stato of New York. It is an average wheat to yield; makes good flour, and has a smooth, red chaff; tho cap of tho chaff that covers the kernel is soclofo that tho midgo can not lay its eggs in it. I have do interest in this only this, if it is any good to let you know it, that is all. It can bo had at Pomcrov, Meigs county, Ohio, on the Ohio river; Tanerville Ohio, on the Central Ohio Uailread, and at Johnstown, ou the Pitsburgh, Ft. Wayno & Chicago ltailroad. It is known by the name of tho Weevil proof or Lambert wheat. If you aro scourged with the weevil as wc havj) been, you will be glad to get rid of them. Yours, &c., Daniel Caiile. The Crops in Indiana. The following is from tho compilation of J. II. Dodge, Statistician of tho Agricultural Department, made from returns for July, and comparisons with those tuado for the same period last year: INDIANA. A full averao breadth of corn is indicated. A little deficient in condition early iy tho month, but improving rapidly. Winter wheat is & 1 per cent, better" than last year; spring wheat 10 per cent, ltye and barley are ulso above, but oats aro 10 fer ceut. below the standard of last year, 'astures, timothy and clover, as in other States, are in excellent condition. State Teaohers' Institute. The Kichmond True II'-puLlicaa thus epcaka of the Teachers' Institute now in session in that city : Tho session of tho Stato Teachers' Institute now being held in this city promises to be one of pleasant, instructive and lively interest. Upwards of one hundred and sixty names have been enrolled as students, aud others aro coining. They come from all parts of the Stato. Profs, Hancock, Hadley, Drown, and Mi3 Funcllo are engaged thn week in given instructions. Prof. Hancock delivered an able lecture on Tuesday evening, in Union Chapel, to a large and appreciative .audience, ou "The lteciprocal Duties of Teach-? era aud Parents," and Mr. Chupman last night, in the Presbyterian Church, ou llow can the Morals of ; the Community be Promoted by Employing Teacüors." Dog Tax. The revenuü arising from the dog tax of Indiana for 1SC!, amount ODO hundred and fifty-four thousand dollars, with nine counties yet to hear from. This" fund is used to pay for thcep killed by dogs, or damage sustained by wool grower from the retidinir r pcattorinj' of their flocks. Tho urplu.-, if any remaining in tho trcaeury at the cud vf the curreut yoir, goes

into tho common tchool fund. wt withstanding' the fact that heavy losses wero auBtaincd daring the yenr,cry few claims for damages arc filed. This, wc eur poj-e, is due to a want of information among farmers on tho subject. When nhccp ore killed or scattered by dogs, tho owners have a right to damages, und thouhl not fail to lay their claims before tho proper officers. A rigid enforcement of tho law will bo a wholesome restraint cn dog mis-

in Journal , i!au t 'Aiinlu "Fryer,' ! traveling correspondent of tho Ci nein ilUnutlc, writes os follows concerning our 6istcr County of Iliplcy: IUI'LEr COUNT V, Although eno.of tho olJot Counties in Indiana, is in a very backward condition. Generally speaking, its soil is of tho light clay order, nnd is illy, adapted to corn. Tlii. soil seems, however, when well manured and cultivated, to produce good wheat, good oats and the best of hay. . Marshes prevail almost everywhere, and Idrge bodies of finely, timbered land.1 aro in the hands of Kastern speculators Hut this land can bo purchased with timber on nt from ten to twenty dollars per acre, and with timber off at from gix to ten dollars per acre. U would appear that a man might take eighty acres of thu ground, plant a partef it to pears, apples and other fruit, jkr the rett in timothy, nnd make tho investment pay; for tho timothy alone would, incase the soil were properly drained, bring annually at . least ten dollars per acre. Prom what I have seen to day, I am convinced that this is. peculiarly a grazing and fruit producing country; that the sooner tho citizens discover this fact, ceaso paying much altcntiou to cows, and give their efforts mniuly to the production of grass and the culturo of fruits, the better it will be for them. Dlackberries and wild fox grajoi nrc abundabt throughout Pitney. Blackberries cn n be bought nt five cents per quart. - I am told that fih and g.imo aro plentiful. Surely thero is water enough for the former, aud wild country enough for the latter. ' VERSAILLES, The county scat of llipley, five miles south of Osgood, i?, I am informed by Dr. Thompson, a citizen of the place, a pleasant town, ? ad in ordinary times, a stirring business pui;it. I hear from every quarter that the pcopio of Versailles are refined, intelligent, highly ccial; that they possess, in a remarkable degree, tbc faculty of mating ptrangcrs feel at heme in their midst. Their new Court House, which is ono of the handsomest in this pari of Indiana, is completed. HATES VI LLC, On tho Indianapolis & Cincinnati Kuilroad, is, perhaps, the most thriving town in this county... It contains a number of good mills and manufactories, severul pretty churca'es and hand.-tomo rcftideuccs. Its growth during the past few years has been very healthful. He also writes as follows concerning tho German farmers. His rcmaks will apply equally as well to the Ccrtnan farmers of Franklin County: These people whokc countrymen Oiave' ever been remarkable lor tr e rending with which they make good farms out of poor lands, havo accomplished hero what, perhaps, no other. people would think of accomplishing. Tho very thinccst of clay soil they have, by indefatigable industry, brought into a highly productive state, as their wheat, their oi's, their buy nnd their flax will testily. The secrets of their aucctsare tho smallness of their plantations and the amount of labor they )crl'orm. A German never wants more and than he can thoroughly cultivate; iut on what ho does possess ho, hi wife, and all of his children that nro old enough to handle a hoc, steadily, judiciouhly labor. To-day I saw a number of women binding oats, tossing hay and flailing flax. The Kentucky Election. Kentucky is thoroughly and overwhelmingly in the hands of the Confederates. Tho election yesterday was a one-sided affair, the rebel Demosracy carrying everything before it. This victory is useful as showing what tho rebel Democracy would do if they had the power. They have full sway in Kentucky. Ilcnco thero . is a reign of terror. No man who adhend to the Union cause is eafo. There is no freedom of speech or of the press. Constitu tional rights, except as interpreted by the, rebels, aro disregarded. Tho murdering of Union men is not regarded as a crime. No jury can bo found to convict .men ol crimes committed ngaintt this class. This is Kentucky Democracy. It is this paity that carried the election yesterday by from forty-five to sixty thousand majority; elected fuur-fii'ths of the Legislature, and would elect John C. Ureckenridc to tho United States Senate, but for the test oath, which guards the door of Congress against traitors. v There are a few bright spots , in Kentucky whero Union men can live in safety, but generally thero is no protection for the lives and property of tlfo men who fought in the national army, or ujluld the Union, cauro through the dark days of the Republic. . To this condition of things Union men iu other . States muy refer with telling effect, vhen asked to reinstate tho Democratic party in power. The party which triumphed ou the other sido of the river, belongs to the samo organization which is led in Ohio by Judgo Thurman. In principle and iu Fpirit they areonc, and if the reader would know tho kind of fruit that a Democratic victory in Ohio would produce, he has but to refer to Kentucky. There it is in all its ugliness as viewed by loyal men; and is in all Ms sweetness as swallowed by the Coufelerktcs. lvestore this paityto power in the nation, and the "lost cause'! would speedily bo recovered. A his is now tho political Usue in every State. The mode of presenting it is varied eo as to adapt it to circumstances. In Kentucky it is boldly urged. In Ohio it is fought undercover; but the underlying principle is everywhere tho same. During tho rcbellioo the rebels soiiictiiius advanced upon our armies wearing tho blue uniform anu carrying wie tmui ujp- auvcu uv the tactica adopted by tho Ohio Democracy. In Kcutueky, however, there is no dip-'uine. Thero the Confederate uniform 13 worn, ana me leoi ii ucnainiy cnrrieil Hut both branchiM of thi disloy al forces advance under the name of Dc - u vcracy.

SOUTHERN nECONSTKUCTION-'Ud

CAMPAIGN. Tho Union llcublicaU Senators and Members of tho Fortieth Congress assembled on tho evening of July 15th, in:' the Hall of Kcprc.-ontativcs, to hear the report of tho Union lie j ublica n Congressional Kxccutivo Committee with refcrenso to-the Southirn Ilcconstruction Campaign. Tho following resolution wa- adopted : "llrnolvcil, That we,' thV RcpublicAu Senators and Kcprcscntalivcs of tho Fortieth Congress, having listened with great intercut to tho statements of tho Chairman of the Kxccutivo Committee and others of said Committee, therefore pledge our personal efforts in our respective districts to : tho work of raising . money for the uie of tho auid Committee immediately upon our return to our constituents." . Tho Committee, therefore, in urging the importance of immediate and vigorous la bor, dcsiie to briefly recapitulate what has been done ; tho, agencies and opportunities now ut iw command, and tho necessities which require assistance. Daring tho few months, that have elapsed since- tho reconstruction acts were passed, this Committee has been earnestly at work. For v tho first time opportunity offered for discussion in the .South of: the principles, purposes, and history , of tho llepublican organization the party of National progress, political justice, and territorial integrity. It was determined to inauzurate a vigorous and comprehensive agitation of questions connected with, these euljects. This purpose has been as fully carried out as the means at the disposal of the Committee would permit. . The Committee has received but $1 6,250, mainly derived from the two llou-cs ot Con-iress. There is now expected from ' various , sources . sums amounting in all to $1,500, which will about cancel obligatians already incurredWilli this small amount,' the. Committee has tent several hundred thousand suitable documents through tho South. , It has employed oyer seventy active and intelligent speakers and organizers, who have been at work in tho unreconstructed States, ur.d to a limited cxtcn' in . Tennessee, llotli wl.ito tiiil cjlorcl men hivo Iclmi und uro now deployed. lu addition to iho.-o directly controlled by the Committee, State .Committee aud Union League Coün-r-ils, with other auxiliaries, have been nid cd. Under .this stimulu.-, in many lot-alt: ties, funds hao been raisod to defray the expenses of local agentsand much work accomplished. , Tho' Committee has the names' of 2(1,000 loyal pei'jons at tho South to whom documents uro vfgulrily sent. To about oatfourth tf that number J'rgo packages are forwarded, so that it is ia tho way of immediate distribution cf 100.000 or uifiifi cut)ion ot'nnv .bin ,.,. nt. it iWi-m trt fiwi.Ut.. This lii-t is bcin duily augmented. The Committee's corrcsp'ondciico is' very cxtcuhive; hundreds of letters being received weekly from all parts of tho South. , From their contents, a minute knowledge of the necessities uf almost every Congressional district is daily attained.

Our agents are all cmpoweicd and directed to aid the organi-' ration, and as the (J rand President's ofiice is located in this City, we are enabled to bring about harmony of purpose aud effort. Were ample meaus ut the Committee's disposal there would be no dillieulty in widely extending its operations. The demands made far exceed its mean, present and prospective A largo number of inltl igent men, wl ito and colored, ere icjdy to cuter tlio field, most of whomcjuld bo advan ta;ou.-.ly employed. Our fut ds have been altogether devoted to urcu'utingsultabio reading trattcr and employing speakcis and organizers. They will contiuue to be bO used. This committee caonot undertake tl.o establihmcnt or support of liepublican newspapers, although that important agency dcuianiis attention. .Whcu tho military bills became law, there were in tho South but fifteen llepublicau journals, two only of which were dailies. There are 'now ninety; twenty of which aro dailies. The speediest method of. establishing a vigorous llepublican press, without which no permanent success can bo obtained, is to give tho llepublican patty contiol cf the Stato organizations. This object can bo permanently secured, provided its importance is appreciated and corresponding efforts aro made. The pres cut tumi aiiiu is but a continuation oi the war. It has, however, assumed another sitaio. it is uo longer wie suock oi armies, but tho confiict ofide ts.1 The thunder tf gjus no longer rends tliQ.tky or makes the earth tremble; but the results for which nur best liyes were . given are , still trembling iu the balance.

The needs of the hour with tl.o.-.e who debiro to teo the entire South, lately cursed with slavery and blasted by revolution, inaruhing ' to the uiumc of the Union" iu the Ko'.id column of He-, publican States, aro active work, .auip!e uicau, aud unfaltering faith. Your Committee have faith and can work efficiently. Moans only are lacking to carry eacJi one of the ui.rcronttiuctcd Xl'itcs at the 'elections provided for by Congress. If .adequate funds are furnished, tho party can be so organized as to ensuro the electoral vote of each regenerated State , for the Presidential ttandard-bearer of our great party. The loyal people of the South arc, very poor; they are with us in every desire for success, but they need assistance, both of , money for political Organization; and of knowledge, for the best means oi effecting iL Slavery crushed ' tho white tViPr.d. of the Nation, as well as 'or nested ... t .i-.i i-r it. rolored allies."
