When the connection is made at Ilagerstown or Newcastle which will ba soon the W. V. V. road will rank among tha first roads in tba West. Mr. Lord has the hearty thanka of tha people of tba White Wafer Valley for his untiring efforts in thus giving them an outlet io all directions. General Grant. Tha Lancaster (Pa.) Express rays it has learned from two trustworthy and well in formed sources, tbst Gencrsl Grant will txake such a declaration of his views of national polity as ought to, and no doubt will, satisfy tha most exacting Republican, and fully vindicate thoe who have expressed their willingness to trust him now, as they trusted him in tha dark days of oar national peril. General Grant, in eon versationa with two representative Republicans, in whose Radicalism tba party haa unlimited confidence, has frequently expressed himself in a manner entirely satisfactory to them, and they confidently look to hitu as the man for the impending crisis.

Minnesota. The Minneapolis Tribun of Friday last says that the suflVjgo amendment to the Sute CorMtitiiti jn of Minnesota has undoubtedly been etrried, and justly exulting over the splendid lU'pub'ioau majority for tha State ticket, remarks: 'Mionesota stand to day proudest among the States of the Union, uA only by the token she haa giren that the does not go backward ia a majority of five thoussud for Marshall, but more than all by voting up manhood suffrsgo. after Republican States all around her hsva ignobly t'ülcd it down. She aiauda slone as tho first iV Stale since the war that has declared eijuil snd exact justice to all men within her borders."

Tin we say in the fica of the result of tho late elections, A party that ia led by men who kept up a ateady fire In the rear of our aruia while struggling on the buUle-Oold lor their country, can not bo permanently successful. Tho pcopla wcro dissatisfied with tha Ad. ministration of lb'G'J, and tho Democrats, under filc pretenses, carried the elections more generally than in October and November, 1SU7, The elections over, thov proved thtmmclvei the Mino purly which, iu 1SC1, tried to baud over tha Uveruiuent to tha rebels.

A nood deal baa already been suid in relation to tho tint can didatf for Governor, but so far there does not appear tu bo a very great diverity of opinion, tfouio are of tha opinion that It ia too soon to canvass tba matter, while others think St rlnht to' make sug. gestions as to tho right man for the portion. I can ace no harm in any one who feeli disposed to nutno hit man, Ono thing we are all sgrved upon, we must havo a man who can make a vigorous and telling canvafe.

In looking over tho grounds for a man who will ''fill the bill,' my mind ronta on the lion. Will CuuiUek of Dcca'ur t'ounty. Ills name haa been already suggested in different portiona of tho State, out up to this time I don t recollect of having seen public response I re in any one iu this his native County; but I doubt nut his nomination would meet with not only a hearty respond bete, but all over the Citato, lis lamo as a political orutor is commensurate with tho Stato. I think it doubtful whether ho has an equal in the ftate on tha stump. He combines all the essential qualifications to insure suaH' aim aounu ivopuoucan principles. borne persona are disposed to think per baps others hurejtronger claims on tho - Jparty. I disseuTTroin that veiw altogether. I think the party hta claims on them, and ot course will select tho man who will best aubserve the interests ofjlijparty. Hut taking the other view of "the" matter, I know of no man who has been longer in the Republican party or has labored more incessantly to uphold and defend its principles. We want s atandard-hcarcf that can8torm thojrery citadel" of Democracy. Una moro'signal defeat will burylTTo deep that it will not attempt to ruino its hydrabead again. There are crave and momen Kous ii-sues at stale" nnd in order that nicy may 00 jus-iiy eiucu, ana me uonor and integrity of the Government bo main tained, oulsiuo of the Republican party there ia no hope. In prccenting the name of Mr. Cumback for tbe highest positiou within tbo gift of the people of the State, I do so independent of personal considerations ''all frr the eusc, nothing for men." F A UM Ell. Andersonville, Nov. 5th, lbC7. .... Spreading it Thin. We notice that Mr. R. II.

LETTER FnC WASHINGTON. Currcupondenc of lha Aiuencau. Wasiunciton, D. C, Nov. bth, 1C7. Air. Editor, Iu the yefterdaj'a Chroni clc of this city. Gen. Grant wus announced as the choice of that paper for the next Republican candidate for tbe Presidency. This announcement is the ruoro significant because the Chronicle is edited by J. W. Forney, and i as radical as auy paper published in ti e country. There is no Je liverunce of Gen. Grant announcing his adhesion to this or that party, but circumstantial evideuco is furnished by the Chronicle to prove him "all right on the goose." We are havinglmost delightful autumnal weather yet, lti is not uuusuil to have very pleasant Ii.liun Summers here, but this year the beauty ot Autumn is extending itself beyond the usual limits. Nobody complain. Just now the great outdoor attraction here is tho National Agricultural Fuir which has been in operation several days within about two miles of the city. It Is a systematic horse-racenone of your premiums for fastest trotters, pacers, Sic, but a regular Lorso-race, where betting is tho order. It furnishes a great harvest of enjoyment to sportsmen, and supplies the city with enough of the light-lingered prol'o-sion to mako it interesting to honett men to watch their pockets. 1 have not seen any one gathering money as freely as I saw a Cincinnati sharper gathering out of the pockets of tl)0 uninitiated on the street near the Fair Grounds at our last Fair in Franklia Co., at the game of thrcocatd monte. Ho got it so slick that his victims could do nothing but look sold at a high rate., Tho police of this good city will not allow any such moral exhibitions on the streets here. It is a great compliment to Agricultural Fairs to know that their good namo is taken to cloak over such a horse-ruco exhibition ns the one now going on near this city. If the "priro-riiig" managers would adopt tho same stratagem, and call their exhibitions "Agricultural Fairs," they might havo a greater run of custom, or at least the good namo of the exhibition would eccuro them against molestation. How long will it bo until agricultural aod mechattical exhibitions will bo divorced from all that interests tho crowd in the Way of exhibition of &st stock? for I cannot see that this dci'Miulizcs; tior from all that would encourlie the cultivation of fast stock. It is lio uso made of the fast stock for sporting or gambling purposes that demoralizes, and that should be ruled out from every fair and exhibition where honorable trade? and pursuits aro represented. In this connection permit me to congratulate the Roard of Managers, Officers and Members of the Franklin Co. Agricultural Society on the s iccc that ban at last at tended them, enabling them to clour the iSi ciety of debt. There should bo no delay in purchasing new ground and fitting them uu with more ihan trebio tho amount of , .bedding wo had on tho old ground.

LETTER FROM HARRISON. lUitnisu.v.O., Nov. 12, 1BÜ7. Dear Amniean,-Well, we are not yet annihilated, but apparently wa have been seriously admonished. Tha unterrificd, irrcprcssiblo and ''great unwashed," came down on u last Saturday, after tho tuanT ner of Ryron'a Assyrian. Wo saw their bonfires, their corn-stalks, at.d heard their mate voices, after tho man iter we remember to havo heard them on the evening succeeding the elcctiona in October, 1855. nd now, as then, I should think they must feel pretty cheap over their firtle. A lew men, a good many noisy boys, a great deal of senseless yelling, tbo consumption of a considerable quantity of fuel and an enormous quantity of bad whiskey, a large expenditure of 1'eaec1'eiiioeracy gaa, and ao the jubilee ended. C I bunut As was very appropriate, the next day we had a meeting iu the interest of Temperance Reform, the speaker on which occasion was a lady, a Mra Thompson, who, it was said by many who beard her, made a very excellent address, if we except the one fault, that it occupied rather too much time; fur which, however, alio gave tho sullicicnt excuse that a woman "can, must and will talk." We bepo that good was accomplished, and that an interest may be awakened in this much needed reform. Our village will soon merit the title of village of churches. The Presbyterians and Methodists have each very fine large church edifices, and the Campbellitcs and Catholics have commenced the foundations for large and imposing structures. The latter Society will hold a fair for the benefit of their church, commencing on the first Monday of December next. Whilst etl'oits aro being made for the spread of useful knowledge, the improvement of tho moral and the advancement of the material interests of our cititens, I would suggest that our youn men especially eecuro the establishment and sua taining well of a Literary or Debating Society. These institutions are considered by eon.e persons of minor importance; but the benefits which have been derived from them, aro sufficient to confute all euch unworthy opinions. They have been the means of eliciting some of the most distinguished character, whose pre-eminent actions and noble deeds would (had it not been for tiro instrumentality of hese .Societic,) have sunk into oblivion. Many dibti nuished tuen who have figured upon the rtni;e of action, und wrought for thctnsehes a crown of glory, are partly indebted lo them for their successful exertions. It wui there the orator first discovered a gleam of eliqueuce in hin mind, which, by cultivation and assiduity, has been uudu to shine like a resplendid luminary, winch imj'utis tu every object within its (Cope the most viid and fascinating appertain e. ll was there the logicians and uihers were tht ansed of their various faculties, that had beeu lor years clumber-iu-; in daikntSM and bcuri'. t need oolv'tiie u lew di.tinguUhed personages, to illu'tiute the foregoing statements. Mr. Curran, the celebrated barrister uf law, when a young man, joined ooe of these societies, lie ws o very diffident, that at first he could only utter a lew words. His voice faltered, his limbs became paralytic, and the organs of speech refused the utterance of articulated sounds. Habit and stimulation grauually wote off this diffidence, and in a short time he wus the principal speaker, participated in all the dirCUHons, and exhibited talents of no ordinary nature. From this bo stepped to fome higher avocation, and was renowned for bis sparkling wit and lofiy imagination. The celebrated Phillips was not too arrogant to ue some of Curran 'a beau tiful and sublime tenliments, which were at all times lUtenrd to with great admiration. The well known cao of the grcut Commoner, tho brilliant und admired Henry Clay Harry of the West is an instanco in point, of the benefits derived from the truiuitig received iu theso Aso ciatiotis. I do not wish it to be inferred, from tho foregoing, that the joining of a Debating Society produces talents of the nature of those referred to, but that it is instrumental iu developing them. It is very probable, that had Mr. Curran not joined this institution, bis talents would have remained dormant for a considcrublo time; but by habituating himself to reading, studying and speaking in early life, he became sensible ot his powers, and the shouts of applauce with which hi efforts were greeted corroborated him in bis bolief. Ry this article I have endeavored to inculcate in tho rising generation a love of study and frequent speaking; and as these Societies aro better adapted to that purpose than any other, 1 give them my sincere and urgent recommendation to every youth. 'Ibe composition of articles expands the intellect and makes it more capable of receiving and of imparting use ful ideas to others. The subjects of discussion necessarily cause investigation and ftudy, and ambition to exertion, which is natural to the human species. The member i in the end taught to write with perLspicuity and case, to speak without em barrassment, and to digest well what he Studie. Shall we not have a good Literary Society, well attended, in Harrison? What an improvement thi would be on mite or charade parties,- and other senseless tittle-tattle, in which so much of the time of our young people is squandered. With an apology for the length of this, I will retain other subjects, to which I desire to refer, until another time. Respectfully, Pehrt Montrose. Too party that wishes to swindle and ruin every man who gavo tho country fin uncial assistance during tho Democratic rebellion, that wishes to defame and dis ftrsco every soldier who fought in her defense, haa placed Indiana in its roottcr

heap. If Republicans do not want our late to bo pokrd into lha dirty pita, tliry must gij to work at one, organi.e thoroughly, and fljjht determinedly until sflrr the Presidential election. The DemOl rata :!uilil that lhV will rarrt llA Kll

Presidential Probabilities, The Democracy have cau-e to be elated by the gains they have made in the alee tions of this er, but they are aware that they mnstdo still better in 18C-H, or their sucrose already achieved will be comparatively worthless. The sum total of their gains, so far I national control i Involved, is about a hstf doteii members of the lower houo of Congress, but the overwhelming majority of Republicans in that body ret'ders the mesger Dnnocratio minority powerless. In the Senate they havo calntd nothing, for while California and Ohio will each send a Dem or rat in place of Republican, Tennessee and Wisconsin will elect Republican Senators to aucceed Messrs Patterson and Doolittle. Of (jovcrnor the Democrat hare gained hut two in all the States which have elected ihi vesr. Nor could they havo elected a President if an election had been held for that purposo in thi year cf disaster to the Ro publican party, and iti scarcely within the t untie of possibility that they can do aa well lie render as they havo in the elections of 1807.

Reibre the PreMdeutial election, pe eral, if not all the late rebel State, will be reconstructed, and a large majority of their electoral votes will undoubtedly be given to the Republican candidates. Our friends will tee from this exhibit, that they cannot lose the next Preiden tial election, if they try to carry it; and Democrats may be admonished that they are yet a lon; way from the realisation of their hopes the possession ot the political power oi this Republic. A hard contest is before the Republican party, but with a canvas us energetic as that of 1SG5, it can elect its candidates for l're-ideiit and Vice Pret-ideiif, together wiih a Republican Congress. Journal. Forfeiture of Spirits. Commieti'juer Rollins, in a recent decision, savs: "I am fullj persuaded that ta allow tbe forfeiture of spirits, which have been properly eutereJ iu boud, would ba coutrary to the true meaning of the statute. The law docs not contemplate that the spirits whose forfeiture is prouounced wilt be found iu bonded wafeb0U!er., and in tny judgment there are weighty reasons why spiiits in the bonded warehouse should hot be proceeded against for forfeiture. If bonded warehouses be not secure places ot storugc, it must be our effort to make thcui eo."
