Our Candidate for Sheriff. Will U. Lee, the Republican candidate for Sheriff, enlisted as a private in Capt. P.C. Wood' Company (F) 18th Keg's Ind. Vols.. July 15th. I8C1. The Regi ment left Indianapolis Aus?. 17th, for Missouri. .Mr. Lee served. with hia Regi ment in all the Missouri ' campaigns of Gen'la Pope, Fremont and Curtis; - then through Arkansas; wat in the Battle of Pea Ridge; then marcbed with his Regi ment to Helen, Ark., cn the Mississippi River; from there waa transported with his Regiment p to Sulphur Springs, Missouri; mado a Winter Campaign through South-Kast Missouri under Gen. Davidson. At lronton, Mo., Gen. Carr relieved Gen. Davidson and marched the troopa to the Mississippi River, embarked on steamer and went to or near Viel bürg. Mr. Lee waa with his Regimentin all the fights from Port Gibson until Vicksburg capltulstod; then marched with his Regi ment to Jackson, Miss.: thence back to Vickiburg; from thereto Texas; was with lis Regiment in the capture of two im portant Forts.' At iodianoia, Jexas, ne re enlisted as a . m m a m a a a veteran on the 1st of January, ISC I; on the ICth of April embarked on steam ship and started for home, In May the Regiment made a march in the rear of Raton Rouge and whipped a Rebel force. On the 8th of June he arrived al home on i thirty days' lurlouglt. Ua the oth of July he reported to hia Regimentat Indianapolis. The Regiiueut was sent Fast; reported to Gen. Butler at Bermuda Hundred, Va. He participated with his Regiment in several important skirmishes at Deep Bottom, near Richmond; then was ordered to the Shenandoah Valley; there participated in the Cuttles ef Op quan, (commonly called Winchester,) Fisher's Hill and Cedar Creek. On the 4th of January, 18C5, the Regiment started for Savannah, Ga.; there the Regi ment femained some time, doing picket duty, building breastworks, etc., and from that time until the middle of August was engaged iomarching and counter marching in Georgia.

On the 22nd of Sept., 18C3, he was discharged with his Regiment at Indianapolis, thus serving his country four years, two months and seven days. Adjutant Lee is eminently qualified to discharge the duties of Sheriff, and elected will make a most efficient and ex cellent officer. Scavenger Maddock. We are again called on to notice the Utile low, dirty, contempt HU tcavevger of the "Denaorracv." who has sunk himself so low mat no Honorable man nas any . . a confidence in him. All honest men shrink from him as from contagion. His presence fills the a atmosphere where he goes with pollution and contamination. All who como into - his presence are in danger of an attack from his lyinc tongue or from the foul exhalations of his polluted soul, from which he constantly pours forth the most filthy, polluting ob scenity that ever disgraced fallen humanAs to bis lies about our controversy with Mr. R. II. Swift, we only have to say that his etatemonts are not correct, and that we are not to be drawn into a con troversy that baa long since been settled. Rut as to his charges about our offering to sell out to him, we have to say that he lies willfully, knowingly and. corruptly, And U like his father, the Devil, the father of the lie he tells. Wo leave him to go through the world with the brand of falsehood on his foreheid, and advise such persons as wish to see bow low humanity can siuk, to go and hear him make speeches but not to take their wires, daughters, mothers, sisters or little boys, or they will be forever lost, aa no balm could heal them from the pollution and contagion that escapes through hid lips. We owe an apology to our patrons for having- to notice suoh depravity through our columns. Oir County Fair Will commence one week from next Tues day. Extensive improvements have been made on the Grounds, such as new covered pens for steck, two covered pavilions that win comtorttuy scat one thousand persons, a quarter, mile track in first-rate condition, new gates, new offices, fcc. The Grounds are now in better condition than tbev have ever been, and everything - in dicates that the coming County Fair will be a great success. Union. Mass Meeting at RushvIIId. -The Republicans of Ruah county will assemble in Mass Meeting, at Rushville, on Friday, Sept. 4th, 18C8. Col. R. W. Thompson, Indiana's gifted Orator, has given. a definite promise to be present and address the meeting., illon. Geo. W. Julian, our faithful Representative, has also positively promised to attend. - Julian at Greenfield. The citizens of Hancock County, in pursuance of a (jail by the Central Com mlttee, assembled at the Court House in Greenfield On Saturday laut, for the purpose of nominating a Republican county ticket to put in. the field against the Goodingites of the Democratic party.: , Hon. Geo. W. Julian-delivered the principal, i. address on tho occasion.

What Say tho Tax-Payers? The Demoeratie platform and Judge Reid propose to tax laboring men on everything they possess, such at The hat on your head. .' The boota oo-your feet.

Sohenok has been unanimously renominated as the Repub lican candidate for Congresa from the Third Ohio District, in opposition to the notorious Vallandigham. Nobody doubts Gen'l 8chenck e election by an over whelming majo'rity. Bad Association. The Seymour, Blair and Wade Hamp ton Democracy are suffering terribly from bad association.

North Western Farmer. This handsome and valuable rural Magazine is received for September and is full to the brim of matter of the highest interest.

S. Lozier, M. D., or the Secretary, Mrs. C. F. Wells, Box 730, N. Y. Reply to "Carmel." I sec by an article in the Democrat of ug. 28th an article signed "Carmel," giving a moral episode or religious delineation of the Julian meeting at this place. The faithful correspondent, true to the instincts of his party, and following in the wake of such journals a the Enquirer and La Crosm Democrat, eould not help assailing tho ministry or the three gentle men present who preach the gospel of peace and truth. "They seemed to be pleased with the foul Blander," as their chuckling smiles indicated. "Carmel" took a back seat, and in the midst of his shame and ooafugion at tho scathing his party received at the bands of the' speaker, thought all persons whoso faces were not similarly crimsoned o'er as his, were chucLling, for no doubt a face presenting its natural appearance compared with his own would be as a gentle beams of a noonday sun to the dark, howling, midnight tempest. His skeptic brother perhaps took a more prominent position and could ?ee more clearly the physiological movements of those three divines whose conduct had aided , in leading him and others into skepticism and infidelity. -I would ask the man ' reared in a Christian family," what have been hia surroundings? Does be take for his text book tbe two papers above alluded to? Does he attend ratification meetings at Brookville, and pole raisings at . New Trenton, and other Democratic assemblages where religion and those "who preach the gospel of peace and truth' meet with tirade and abu&e from those who harangue on such occasions? These things have their influence, and it ia hard to resist the evils attending thorn, though early training of a different character may be triven. Let me ask friend "Carmel" if he ever knew a man made a skeptio by the conduct of a minister with Democratio proclivities? Is it wrong for a minister of the gospel of peace' to enjoy chuckling smiles at n political meeting, if he votes tbe Democratio; Ticket? Please answer

soon. -.' -. : f--. Mt. Carmel, Aug. 23th, 1SC8.

Fditor, Thinking that, pcrhips a few lints frru this region of the White Water Villoy would not bo wholly unin teresting to tho readers of the Anurican, I send you the following. Milton is situated on the Wett Fork of Whito Water and on tie White Water Valley Canal, about thirty miloi North of Brookville, and contains a population of 1,200 inhabitants. It is surroundod by a rich and fertilo country, all of which is under a bign state of culti . e v . vation and improvement, it possesses unsurpassed privileges and advantages for running machinery, both from tbe river and canal. We have two large flouring mills and an extensivo woolen factory. The "Iloocier Drill, to. is located here, working over sixty hands, and all for Grant & Colfax, except two, who will bo before the elec tion. e have a jewelry store, owned by Michael Si Jone9, and to which is attached a splendid stock of glasa and queensware, making it ono ot tbe tin est and largest retail establishments of the kind in the West. It is no exaggeration to say that it is unsurpassed eveu in the Q iccu City, by the extent, variety, style and quality of its goods. Its proprietors are ball fellows who have the respect of all who know them and who have built up an extensive trade in their line of business. Our community is not wanting in relig ious and educational privileges, but of these will sjtfak in ore in detail at tjomc future rtmo. ve are Uvortd with one of the argest and best adapted school-houses iu liSbtcrn Indiana.

The Fighting Boys in Blue mi i organized a company on lliursday eveningthat numbers over sixty men, and will be swelled to one huuded before the election. The political elements are stirring up, and Wayne County will soon be a perfect blaze. Tbe efforts being made by the so called Democratio party to restore lead ing and bloody-banded traitors to place and power in the Government, is awaken ing grave apprehensions among the friends of tree covernment, and arousing the wa r worn soldiers of the Republic.

From Blooming Grovo Township. - Blooming Grove, Aua. 31st, 18C3. Editor American, I take my pen to drop you a few lines to tell how things are going in our town. I heard to-day that the Cops boast that they will carry every Township in the County except Metamora, aud perhaps that also. Not so fast, if you please. There is such a Township as Blooming Grove, whose political complexion will have to change somewhat before it goes that way. By the way, let me tell you how tinners look. , The Cops at their meeting two weeks since bad about 50 of their own kith. Last Thursday cvenitig there wcro about 150 persons come out to hear your townsman Mr. McKee speak, touching briefly on the various topics of the campaign. There were a few of "the un washed" present. It is said that "a guilty conscience needs no accuser." As was manifest on this occasion1, in speaking of the rebellion, the propagators and friends of tho rebellion, ho spoke of tbe Knight

of the Golden Circle, and of hia experience with them. He said there were thoee under the sound of his voice to whom he waa recommended for protection. Some say ho looked right at them, and the oth ers did the same. They knew that they ought to be pointed 'out, and therefore

thought they were. Our Central Com mittce man is as good as a wooden man to the cause, yet Blooming Grove wil givo a good account of herself in Octo ber and November. Moro anon; Sam. HOW HENDRICKS WAS BEATEN. AulhenlIo statement by hia Best Friend. The New Yok Sun publishes the fol lowing from the pen of Wioslow S. Lewis oi Indianapolis, the brother-in-law, and confidential political manager of Hen dricks. The original, in Mr. Lewis' own hand-writing, is in the hands of the.Sun'e Washington correspondent: Ihe Convention was composed of the Mr" the grratnt men of tho Demoeratie I a . . rtr,J na Uie Worr I'lrnsps no Uonuontion of that party ever embodied moro of the conservative and patriotio elements of tho party, than were at New York, on July 4th, but among them were felt tho utixcon Influcn. eea of a revolutionary character, which, in i .a ... .1 . !.. . .11 .1. at a mccung wun mo trading ana huckstering element oftheHtato of New kork, led by Horatio b'eymour and his I ! 1 ! . . 1 . l'l Ii ll luiuicuiaio menus, caused irrcparaoie uia aster. In order to a truthful tepresentatlon o the state of partion at the time that Con. ventiou met. I will endeavor to describe tho poMiiun and status of the leading can uidates ol that Convention when it met 1 will do so with a fairness and condor. and regard for truth, which will challenge contradiction, rirsttake Pendleton, not because be was Urst with his party, but because he represented an idea and sentiment which .kit. a j controlled tne convention on:what at first, and wholly at last, aud selected the iii.. . canuiujio. Pendleton was yountr and ambitious Although others were more eminent, he could not bide his time, and being located at a favorable point (Cincinnati) for the radiation of political iuflueucea, early commenced, insidiously at first, aud fiu--lli.L I 1. . . any wun naugniy means attempted to lor ce himself upon tbe party. - The most potoutial aud the first sup port be received was from tbe 'wbiky a ring. By the aid of money gained in the cor rupt influence of whisky swindling, he was aided materially, as was( not only notorious, but was established by Woolley's testimony before the Managers, where he swore he was engaged in dec tioueering for Pendleton as a busUexs. With the siuews of war thus guined, he i iicu up in uiuu, inuiana, anu iwinoin, all the "soldiers of fortune," without visi ble mean of support, and sent them out as traveling missionaries to make couvcrts. With pockets full of money they went from State to State, with their "traveling groceries," and while the tJonservative mapse and the greatest and best men of the party were trying to organize by means calculated to commend themselves to the couutry, these Pendleton drum mers forestalled action of tbe better clans. One by. one the, leading Democratic presse and newspapers wcro suborned, and before tbo Convention met the Pendleton cabal had a strength and power that warranted them in assuming haughty and imperious airs over the majority aud the better class, who soon saw that Pen dleton must be del eated in Convention, or Grant would walk over tbe course. . Not only had Pendleton by this time apparently the mpjority of the Northwest, but quickly there bad come to his aid the leading and unreconstructed reich of the South, led by William C. PiCston and his confrere Vallandigham; and hence we saw rebels unrepentant, and revolutionary sympathizers in the North, all in tho Pendleton boat. "Birds of a feather," &o. But that is not all. They went to New York as agrarians, as levelers, taking ad vantage ot the depression in business, scarcity of money, want of employment, caused by tbe drain of money to Europe, to buy what wo could produce in our own country nud make at home had we adequate home protection. 1 hey tried to make the issue against the debt, not openly, not with a view to cause a "harmony of mtercsts, but insidiously attcmitcd to produce sectionalism and discontent, and thus shake publio credit and destroy public faith. Quickly tbe keen ajid sagacious rebels of the Preston stripe were on tbe alert to aid in this ob ject. Anything to prevent tranquility rnd a settlement of our sectional difücult.e?. Quickly, too, the bitter and disappointed Vallandigham rushed into the strife, and all seemed to indicate the over throw of all conservative influences, although the great majority of the Convention was Conservative and wished to con serve everything, and thus commend it. self to the couutry. But tbe Conservative influences proved too strong, and, led by Seymour (who affected a "holy horror" of the Pendleton movement and its nefarious objects), they were repressed. Seymour, with patronizing airs, tnen became jxzr excellence the leader of those opposed to Pendleton, thereby getting into the confidence ol Conservative tuen to etab tuem to the heart, and leave them prostrate and bleed ing at the end, as will be observed when we follow this unscrupulous echemer to the lust scenes and find him praising Pen dleton and shaking the hands of his con gratulatory, the chiefs of the whisky ring, the Prestons and Vallandighams, and floating over the triumph they had gam ed by duplicity, bad faith, and hucksterIlere endeth the first chapter of that wonderful Convention that gory Elaugh-ter-house, in which, at its closing, the chief executioner, Seymour, stands sardonically grinning, receiving the congratulations of his intrumcnts who had aided hitu in the tragio scene, waving bis long I dagger, dripping with the blood of bis trusting victims, every one of whom be had smiled upon, ami drawn back into a hidden recess, professedly to whisper words of friendly aid and advice, and then, with an apparently friendly arm around tbem, stabbed them in the dark. CHAPTER 1L Pendleton damned the true men of tbe party, the real representatives of conservatism, who desired' tran quility, who long to bo by a atatcsman rallied. But meir prcgcsa was slow.

Their headway was often checked by fickle winds and warring currents never before observed in that latitude by tbe oldest mariners, and threatened by rocks and shoals previously unknown to the most experienced pilota of tho party. Bad omens were constantly flying yi the political sky and hovered about them they knew not why or whence, but caused the oft and ominous shaking of the head and look of solicltudo between those who supposed "all was fair." Little did they know that Seymour waa the Jonah till the final denouement, supposing that he was with tbem; that his declining were in , good faith; that his anxious and troubled coun. tenance and nervous manner was patriotism and solicitude for the best interests of the party; and that bis activity was to harmonize upon Hendricks, the man whom all tbe great and good, the conservative and patriotic, had supposed would be their leader, with Hancock, the brave and chivalrous soldier, as Vice President. They would not believe, "though often warned, that Seymour could in turn be plotting tbiir destruction. Did he do It? Some things are as strong in proof as "holy writ," and that he did plan for their destruction can any otto' doutl? Do those most interested doubt it? Party dominion, party despot ism, and party pride may cause the wounded ond their friends to rcmsin silent till after November; but when the idea of that fatal month to - thern are passed, and tho wintry blasts shall drive to the fireside the thousands who will disousa the post, then the namo of Seymour will bo couuected with many a curse for ignoble

conduct toward tho patriotio men who, in the great city of his Mate, amomblod be ncath the scorching sun of July to set up the standard of victory, instead of going there to toil aud snout in order to gain the empty honor of giving htm the com plimcnt of a nomination. They will then tell their disappointed listeners how the sound cf tho cannon (previously charted to announce him as tbe chosen) fell and lingered upon their curs us the signal of dclcat. Pendleton out of the way. Ilendricka advanced in the contest, Packer and Par ker abandoned. Johnsou was merely torsed horn hand to band as a plaything Ith HcnJticks, there also was a diver sion to Hancock and his native State, to secure him a place second on the ticket. resolved to give him the compliment of the vole. Then New York went for Ilendricka, apparently in good faith, certainly good faith on tbe part of Church aud his im mediate friend, 'who seemed aa rourh nur prised at the final result as any. During tho whole progress of the New loik Con vention was aeldom wit itemed such du pücity, hypocrisy, and treachery a shown by Seymour. He smiled on and stabbed all other eandidutes by turns.
