TO CORRESPONDENTS.

AH communication* intended for public*iii«i ii Tin Staspap.d should be mailed in Bm«b lo reach this' ofbce Wednesday a in order to insure insertion the same week. Ccinre.‘ponu«nce is solicited from every town-hip in Jasper county, upon all matters of local importance, viz., marriages, births, deaths, accidents, re morals, improvements, cr-'p-n etc., etc. So pains trill be spared to nu*k* this an interesting feature of the paper, and it is the wish of the publisher flint some person in each township will take i. the trouble to write up the news of bis town-hip and send it in for publication, and thus assist in making Tuk Staxdabd the best locjtl newspaper io the county. a Postal ca»d coBKKsPoxDKXcr ooLmx will be opened »o the patrons of this paper and everybody else who will be kind enough lo furnish os with briet items of local news. We' extend ihe invitation to everybody to send in the news of their respective neighborhood written on a postal card for publication in this column. We desire to make this «n interesting feature of the paper and hope out friends will respond cheerfully to this invitation. Who will be first? Comnrcss. at its late session, appropriated K,(KH) towards erecti n g a monument to mark the birthplace of Washington. News is received of a bloody battle fought on the 4th instant, between the British aud the Zulus, which resulted in a decisive victory for the former, and a probable speedy termination of the war. ' During the lirst six months of the j r sent year nearly 1,000 miles of new*, railroad track was laid, and there is a fair prospect that twice that amount will he laid during the next six months. This is only one of the many indications cf“ returning prosperity. The frequent aud heavy rains in both England and Scotland have caused an almost total failure of the wheat crop. This will create an unusual demand for American wheat at a corresponding iu•er ase in price. With the immense crop in store and good prices the average hi finer can throw himself back on his ( dieuity and await the good time coming.

lion, Thomas J. Wood, of Crowu Po:ut, is figuring for the democratic ; nomination for coiigrtss* in this district, i Mr. Wood is a gentlemno, and all that, i ami perhaps well enough qualified for the position, buL, like all other democrats, is ‘-rattled’’ on politics. He would,“however, stuud a butter show of being ejected to congress tbair"Scnaiof Winterbothamwould of being cliftcd'governor. The Landers “boom” which was started by t|ie Indianapolis Sentiud, Joes not meet with much encouragement from the democratic press of the slate. The latter thirtk the Sentinel a little too fast, and cry “bold <>n a little."’ but the Sentinel don t “hold bn"’ worth a cent. It is sot Landers, tooth and toe nail, ami no other need apply. The Sentinel fiddles for the dancer who is willing to pay the most. Bro. Bitters, of the Rochester Union ?py, was egged and horsewhipped, the other day, by au indignant widow lady who claimed that an article had appeared in the Spy reflecting seriously on her character. Tito bad ! too bad ! to have tite freedom of the press'trampled upon in that way. Truly the way of a coun-

try newspaper uiau is hard, especially when he is treated to a diet composed of eggs and horse whip. John Sherman took i he democratic party by the heels, at Portland, Maine, the other day, and shook it fairly out of its boots. He turned its record inside out and exposed its true inwardness. Such speeches will at least open the eyes of the people to the glaring inconsistencies of the policy aud measures adopted by the democrats, if they do nothing more. They cannot but be productive of great good, as will be shown in the elections to be held this fall. The republicans were ucver in better fighting trim than they are to day, and every indication points to a republican victory in the approaching, elections.. Our southern brethren are again afflicted' with that terrible scourge, yellow fever. It made its first appearance in Memphis during the recent heated term, Mid hasr prostrated scores of people, a great many of whom have died. The strictest quarantine regulations were enforced to prevent the spread of the dread disease, and thus far it has been confined

principally to the city mentioned. A nntaberof new eases art reported daily. Thousands of people have fled from the city and numbers are fleeing daily to northern clime to escape the ravages of the terrible i disease. Business of all kinds is at a standstill, uud it is feared, even should the disease abate now, that serious resufts will follow. The business interests of the south are lively to suffer severely from this and other equally as terrible scourges to which that country is annually subject to unless something can be done to remove the producing causes.

RAILROAD NOTES

Work on the Narrow Gauge—A Trip to Bradford. Delphi Time* The progress of tracklayers on the narrow gauge has been delayed somewhat by the storm of last week, but they have steadily though slowly advanced. To-day they will peuetrai# the bowelsof Mt.Pisgah. at Pittsburg, and the work will be concluded, so fur as possible previous to the cbmpletion of the bridge across the Wabash. A large force of men are at work on the bridge, and notbiug preventing, it will now progress rapidly toward completion. The Wabash, however, is a very uncertain stream, and it is impossible to tell what obstacles they may have to contend with. Gregg & Bulger yesterday made a shipment of 125 barrels of Hour over tho road at a material spviug in the matter of freight. The question of a switch at Pittsburg is one agitates the good people of that borough and perplexes the management not a little. The grade of the road is fifty feet or more above the level of the town, and just how to get down without involving too much expense is a conundrum for the engineer to solve It is now proposed to place the switch head just above the tannery, aud skirt the brow of the hill to the west, making a steep descent, but one which takes the oniy advantage of the provisions of nature presented. A tank has been placid at the Bragtiuier farm, one mile from Pittsburg.

The establishment of a station at Goslee’s farm awaits the necessary formalities. The station will undoubtedly be located, but there, are some formulas yet necessirv before it is doue. Nothing y.t ha 3 been heard from the Department regarding the establishment of a postOffice at thut point, but there eau scarcely be a reasonable doubt that the numerously eigued petition will be favorably considered. The regular mail and express train will qommence running from Pitts burg to lieusstjuer on Monday, the train leaving Pittsburg at 3.30 p. in., and connecting with trains on the State Line at Monticello and on the L. N, Ai & 0., at Bradfoid. The train from Rensselaer will urrive at Pittsburg at g. 30 a. to., and when the road is completed to this city, wifi connect with the ;8.45 train west and the 9.13 east on the Wabash.

It will, from present uppearance, re--quire about six weeks to complete the bridgeuicross the Wabash. But never mind-! We will enjoy that great jubilee yett A correspondent sends the following accountlof a trip over the line to Bradford: '1 • To the EditoV of the TLmest The Geueml Manager ol’ the I D. & C. railroad,*, e. (Joi. Yeoman, culled tne from my .usual avooatiou ou yesterday morning for a trip of pleasure and profit tbrebe road aud myself. At eight o'clock, a. in., the sturdy ongiue, “RowlamiHughes.” gave forth her challenge tto the Echoes of the hills and valleys! which furnish a background to the first mile of the road just west of the! treacherous Wabash river; aud then amid the “pish,” “whieh,” and ciaag of the bell, all fainn iar sounds toVlhe employe of the railroad, we steadily and slowly through the defile, aud otree on top of .the grade. she% began to show a clepn heel aud a ufcrry platter as we sped [over the trunk. ’ No incident marred our progress until near the Tippecanoe river Iriilge, where a slight wash-out had! been caused by tho recent copious dliiige, a messeu ger from the plauetf Jupiter, so our sage scientists would Ip we us believe; but, the scientists to tlfie contrary notwithstanding, willing! jhaads made short work bf unloading two carloads of gravel. Then away we ( went again and over the “A lilaoeßridge,” which so securely spans Ihe beautiful Tippecanoe river, and vfcjth a shrill “hallo” the Rowland sounded the challenge lo the sixty feet grade and bade the tux-lighters take notice that she ttill breathed fofth the vapory, notes iu ttiudly tunes and fished for the time to come when like true, honest men, would baud over the lucre w’-ich furnished the sinews lor railroads. Although the law withheld for the time the performance of Ihe payiug deed, yet patience, perseverance and the nerve of the General Manager will see them tread to the music of the union, etc. Aslmrtstop at Montieelio; then, like the famed Arab steed of old, the breathed two shrill notes of alarm and away we sped as if blessed with life, and desiring to show our Delphi •friends that narrow gauge engines were made for both draft and speed. In a short while the thriving town of Bradford loomed up in the distance and nearing the crossing of the L. N. A. & C. railroad, Supt. Millikan, by a skillful baud at thelever; made a“rwnufiig switch.” pussiug our three flatH to the right while ihe 1* Hughes” remained on the main track,]* Boon the regulur passenger train of the road from Rensselaer art ived und our volunteers having loaded two cars with iron rails and other supplies, the engine sounded her. bell and whistle, nud out of the.town, homeward bound we sped. No incidents of moment oc cutreti on our journey, and at three p. in. we a ighted again at the raviue near Pittsburg, weary, warm, yet withal well pleased and cout at with the privilege gained, nnd satisfied that the road-bed will need but slight further work to Tender it perfect and safe. Altisonant.

THE DELPHI AND INDIANAPOLIS. The corps of surveyors on this line are inaning slow progress. There is all the differcncein the world between a preliminary survey and a loeuting survey. Iu the latter the progress -is necessarily slow. On yesterday the. corps had reached Pickard’s Mills, a point at the junction of tho tiiree counties of Hamilton, Tipton and Clinton, and about thirty-three miles this side of Indianapolis. Ariel' they strike the old Miehigan Road, in the vicinity of Michipautown, the progress wifi be more rapid, and the boys may confidently be expected home in-three weeks. The health of the corps has not been the best. When a short distariee out the whole gang, with the exception of the engineer and axrnan were badly poisoned by vines, so that they were compelled to lay by for four days. Now, however, they .have all recover ed, und are pushing this way as fast as the exigencies of the case will permit. .

NEW GOLD MINES NEAR ELIZA BETHTOWN.

We bad the opportunity of interviewing* Dr. Kelly, one of the lucky protector** of the Rio Colorado, lust week, and in Course of conversation we gleaned from him the following facts: __ He and his partners. Messrs. Murphy and son and Mr. Atkins, left Jasper county, Inch, March last and proceeded directly for the placer fields they are now located on. They have received a description of the country from a friend, aud being old Californians they drew a favorable inforertco from this description, and started in to work with a confidence of ultimate success which B(ill possesses them. At find thejy j»ro»pected the hills alid gulches for lodes and found several, both of silver hearing galena and gold quartz. Near a two foot crCvicoof decomposed quarts carrying gold} they prospected the grave] and found in ocje pan eighteen “colors.” This was pretty good and they imwediatly set about prospecting a bar containing a few acres, which Ijes between the gold ledge mentioned and the riv-r From Indiana Gulch, on which they have their claim, they made a ditch across the ‘ bar and ran a ground sluice in several parts of the bar, and it has prospected well throughout. They have worked a ground sluice up Indiana gulch some 00 feet and found good pay there. On a hill on the other side of the gulch they have also found a gcod prospect. The precicub deposit is found in coarse gold or small nuggets. Being desirous of first ascertaining the extent of paying ground, they have devoted their attention thus far to prospecting, but now they are satisfied—more than satisfied that they have rich ground—so work in earnest, will now progress. They are very sanguine in regard to their quarts lodes, but with a small capital they do not see their way to develop them, while they can successfully work their placer ground at once. Of course the amount of prospecting they have compare 1 with the scope of country is trifling. These mines are about nine miles from Elizabethtown, and whatever mineral wcnlth is found thereabouts, alnd business transacted' there, it will be tributary to the nearest substantial town in Colfax County. The discoveries made by Messrs Kelly & Co. hold out a fair prouiise for further pros' peering in tl: Ueonmry.—[Cimarron (N. M.) News and Press.

RAILROAD LETTER.

The following letter from Fort Wayne to the Rochester Sentinel is a reply to the article headed “A new railroad scheme,’’ which was published in tlint paper week before last and copied in Tuk Standa&o last weekFc.r.x Waynk, July t 4, 1879. Editor Rochester Sentinel:—While in the main, obliged to you for tho matter of your editorial in last Satntday’s paper, entitled ‘‘A new railroad scheme,’’ l feel it to be due to ihe citizens of Fort Wayne, that they should be set right in some matters about which you seen* to misunderstand them. They h'ave not been, as you say, hitherto indifferent about railroad connection with tl:e r:ch district or country west of us, between tlie Wabash river and the P.. Ft. W. &C. railroad. On Ihe contrury, they were mainly, instrumental in causing a line to be surveyed on the route as far west as Rochester, inoiv than twenty years ago. At the time of that survey, however, railroad building was a very formidable thing. A capital «'f not less titan three! millions of dollars being then deemed requisite for building a* 1 road of the standard gunge across the state, as ngaiost about one-tenth of that amount for a narrow gauge road across it at present. Nor, bus this grea't difference in cost of construvtiojn aud equipment been the only cheek upon tho wish of our people to build this road? Unfortunately for them, they some years ago took upon themselves the whole burden of railroad building in Allen county, ami to-day bear a burden of more than $490,000 of city debt contracted lor railroad bitilding in the county, and while the county at large collected an aggregate railroad, tax of $27,762.68 in 1878, the city realised but $-3,488.94 from the same service, while of tlnV Inst named sum only -$300.35 was derived from the four roads tor which her large bonded-debt of $100,00(1had bean contracted. tinder these ciroutnstances it ii Doit strange that-our city should be a little slow ivh-’Ut entering upon further enterprises tor railroad building. In fact, it may he assumed that she will not further burden herself for tho benefit of the county at large. Even if our city bail been wilting to go further, it would probably have been unavailing, ns a further material Increase of her debt, would probably have so depreciated her bonds as to make them hardly saleable.

There is, however, reason to believe lliat while our city c.\n do nothing tiiorp for railroad building, the county may be relied on for doing what may be required for fbe construction of the road west, through Rochester to the state line. A county vote for a subsidy of $200,000 in aid of three new roads, viz; one through Rochester to the Illinois line; one to Terre Haute; and one to South Bond, would be nbout; $5,000 each for the nineteen townships outside of Wayne, while the balance of the amount would fall upon tho city and Wayne township, and such a vote there is strong reason for believing could be secured; for the three roads above named. Very respectfully, Wm. A. Jones. According to the law passed by the late Legislature, persons convicted of crimes and sentenced to imprisonment in the county jail for punishment or for non-pnyment of fines or costs, may be kept at labor in such a manner as th» board of commissioners may deem best. The board of commissioners may require all able bodied male persons imprisoned or held as aforesaid to be put at labor upon the public wharfs, streets, alleys, or other ( thorpughfarcs in any town or city in such county, or upon any public road or highway therein, or.upon any other works or improvements for tbo public good or benefit.— [Warsaw Republican. Senator Winterbotham's prospects for being Governor of this great commonwealth, and his prospects for being struck by lightning on a clear day, are about tne same. —[l'eru Herald.

TELL US, TOMMY. Tell u», Tommy, where you stand On the money question, and Are you training in the bond Of the old Menhattao chief. “I am standing on my head, On the finances,*’ he said, “And by Sammy T. I’m led, To the best of my belief.” —[Cincinnati Commercial.

Large numbers of live cattD, horses and sheep' are now being exported from the Un_ ited States. When we get to exporting asses there will be innumerable sad partings in the fiat-money districts.—[lndianapolis Journal. Senator Yoorhees will spend his vacation in hunting for that “terrible financial crash” which was to have taken place if the resumption act was not repealed. It is probably lost among the wheat shocks.—[lndianapolis Journal. An advance in wheat took place last week. The prospects are splendid for this country. The increase exports -over imports for this year is estimated at $209,600,000. A few years of this would leave but a small balance of national debt.—[Lowell Enterprise. Senator Yoorhees has been convinced that troops were not used at the polls in Indianapolis in 1864, notwithstanding all he said to that effect in the Senate during that special session. In his speech at Terre Haute Saturday nh'ht he said: “There had crept into the of this country enactments whereby the executive could, without stint or hfhdCrance, use the army of the United States to control the elections of this country. that it has been done to any large extent—to no extent in our portion of the country, to some extent in jther portions’ not generally.” That is—ah—well, hardly ever.—[lndianapolis Journal. Has anybody seen or heard of Dr. De La Matyr, the member of congress from this district? Any information concernimg him will be ihutikfully received at this office. As this is his first and last term in congress, his admiring constituents want to keep track of him,' as it were. Although in a political senso he is a thing of beauty, they do not expect to enjoy him forever.—[lndianapolis Journal. [Later.] rj The Journal’s inquiries after tho Rev. Hon. Dr. De Lt» Matyr 1 * whereabouts have elicited some information, but we regret to say it is not ns definite as could he wished. A correspondent yesterday said he wus left-" uring iu Maine on the science of niukifig money. Now conies the Lima Recorder, published at Lima, New York, and says: “Hon. Gilber t De La Matyr, IvT. (J., of Indiana, and a former residence of Wyoming County, is addressing the soft-mom-y men in Wyoming aud Allegany.’! We incline to' think the latter information correct. At least it shows that the gentleman has been alive within a short time, and removjes the dreadful suspicion that he has been put out of the way by the “money power’-.—[lndi-anapolis Journal.
