THERE is talk of organizing a Unitarian society and building a church of that denomination inTerre Haute.—Indianapolis Journal.

The society will be organized and the church built, then for Terre Haute folks don't talk without some purpose.

THE Seymour (Tnd.) Democrat, which •was suppressed in 1864 for its disloyalty, is out lor Grant, and the Radical papers speak of it as "that able and sparkling journal."—Louisville Courier-Journal.

WE are under obligations to George W. Cummings for a copy of the St. Louis Railroad Guide, which publication Mr. C. edits with characteristic care and ability. The Guide is a reliable traveling companion,, and a sane man will never get lost when he travels with one of these Guides as a companion.

PREFACING Mr. Thompson's speech last evening, the speaker stated that "the announcement that he would answer Mr. Schurz's speech was not authorized by him." Other distinguished gentlemen have declined a similar honor, until the presumption has gotten abroad that the Senator's speeches are not so easily answered.

THE accomplished Jenkins of the Evans ville Journal thus photographs a well known Terre Hautean

Col. McLean is a gentleman of medium heiuht, well proportioned, and wears a full beard, which, with his hair, is slightly sprinkled with gray. He has a pleasant expression of countenance.

The Col. is universally acknowledged to be a pleasant fellow.

DIRECTLY after the Schurz and Harlan meetings had adjourned, night before last, we heard an indignant voice break the stillness of the night air, near the window.of our residence on North Fifth street, with the interrogatory, "Did you see that big fool, Dan. Crow hallooing for Grant, there to-night?" And the best of the joke is, the VQice was evidently a feminine one.

WIGWAMS.—There has been a great deal of talk as to the capacity of the buildings used by the parties for their political gatherings. Each side have been claiming theirs to be tho largest. By actual measurement it is found that the Greeley Temple is five feet longer than the Grant Wigwam, and both are the same width. There is not ten persons difference in the seating capacity.

THE attempt to squelch Mr. Harlan at Terre Haute, last night, was a grand failure. The Associated Press says the Harlan turnout was double that of the Schurzites.—Indianapolis Evening Journal. —'i'

In the first place, there was no attempt to "squelch Mr. Harlan at Terre Haute and in the second place the Associated Press agent of this city is the political editor of the Administration organ, and can only see through the spectacles presented him by the officeholders of Grant. Further comflient is unnecessary.

A USEFUL INVENTION.—We have in use in the Globe establishment the Spiral Steam Boiler Flue Cleaner, now being introduced very extensively in this region bv Messrs. Teel & Bostwick, No. 207 North Seventh street. The Cleaner removes all deposits of soot and ashes in its workings, and is not only a graat labor-saver, but a great economist of fuel. It has b©©n adopted in many of the large manufactories, and wherever used has received un? qualified approval, its universal application is only a matter of time,—JjQttis Qlobe.

In his issue of yesterday, after christening the article in the GAZETTE of Monday, (headed "Prescription fo^ the Banner man"), with a few pet names, genererally used by third class Grant organgrinders, such as "lying," "stinking," etc., proceeds to say, that he don't write lor Grant's money, and to prove it, he goes on to mention that he could have sold out to the other party if be wanted to blow in the same horn with Carl Schurz.

Admitting the latter, is it not far better for the sake of consistency, if there is any, to take a few dollars less and write the convictions of his own heart, than to take a few dollars more "And

He further says, he don't like, to carryon controversies, unless they are written in the most elegant language, not such a one as iu the Monday's GAZETTE, which he calls "Gazetter-Handschumaher" style.

The Campaign In,Parke County. ROCKVILLE, IND., August 12, 1872, Editor of Terre Haute Gazette:

The campaign has opened in Parke county with the vehemence and suddenness of a summer's thunderstorm. It will be a lively canvass, and from its very nature must be largely a personal campaign. There has not been a campaign since 1840 as nearly conducted on entirely personal issues. From denouna ing and abusing the chief candidates, we very naturally and easily descend into abusing their supporters. Already has the lie been several times given, and its answer, the Umu} been returned in this county.

Your correspondent "Raccoon" gave fair account of the doings of the convention on the 3d inst., except as to the political complexion of the candidates ]jut in nomination. The candidates for Representative and Sheriff are square out Labor Reformers. Those for Treasurer and Surveyor are Liberal Republicans. The balance of the ticket are Democrats.

When Jim Johnston followed Julian to Annapolis it was not of his own seeking, but he was pressed into the service. It was a "put up job." Ask Judge Scott how they do things there. The first half hour of Jim's harrangue was pretty well done, but the next two hours was the thinnest thing I ever endured. The truth of it was, Jim was like the man who caught a bear in the prairie. He dared not let loose of him. There was nothing in the last two hours of his speech—say from 10 P. M. to 12 M.—but the noise but plenty of that.

Browne spoke here on Tuesday, the 6th inst., to a good audience. His speech was an effective one, and shows that Mr. Hendricks has a competitor worthy of his great reputation and ability.

The following letter was addressed to General Browije, through the Republican Committee, but the Chairman took the responsibility of withholding it. So we can only guess at his answer to it. Queery—Will the friends of Mr. Hendricks be afraid to let a like question be put to him when he comes here? We shall see at least.

ROCKVILLE, IND., Aug. 6,1872.

Gen. Thomas Browne DEAR SIR Iu the Indiana Republican platform adopted last February there is a resolution vtycb says substantially (copy not at hand) "that we approve the effort of the workingmen to better their condition, arid we are in favor of such legislation as shall mete out exact justice to laborers and capitalists." Also in the National Republican platform a similar recognition of the importance of the issue between labor and capital, or more properly speaking, between laborers and capitalists, concerning the inequitable distribution of the product of labor, now being so urgently pressed by many earnest men.

In neither of these platforms is there any indication of the cause of complaint on the part of working men, or any remedy proposed. It has, for this reason* a strong smell of insincerity.

The Indiana Republicans approve the effort of working men to improve their condition, but they evidently disapprove their policy and means of improvement, as they (the Republicans, both regular and Liberal,) have declared a policy through their platforms antagonistic to that declared by the working men themselves, on some cardinal points. I append hereto the Columbus platform, as set forth by working men themselves. Like all other platforms, where so many have something to do and to say in its creation and adoption, it has some surplusage, but fairly and liberally interpreted, it sets forth their opinion of their wants, and their means and plans of obtaining them.

Have you any well-matured views on the solution of this corning question and are you willing to give them to-day in your speech

This is not done with any purpose or expectation of embarrassiug your canvass, but for the purpose of pressing this question on the attention of our politicians, candidates and statesmen of all parties. "A like interrogatory will be put to Mr. Hendricks wheh he speaks here. ,*• Yours respectfully,

JNO. T. CAMPBELL.

On behalf of the Labor Reform Union of Parke county. The Republicans have seen fit to recognize this labor question in their platform*. Why are they afraid to diseiip

TERRE HAUTE, IND., August 6, When the annals of this most enterprising city of Western Indiana are compiled by the historian, the proceedings of this day will be found beginning a separate chapter. To-day, Teffe Haute, in celebratiug the opening of the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway, rejoiced in the execution of a new lease of prosperity for in her case the story of civic progress is its own commentary and points its own moral. During more than a third of a century the town was nearly stagnant at least the currents of life flowed scarcely faster than the river beside it, and boatmen have never accused the ^Wabash of boisterous vivacity. The population was but 4,000 when the long arm oif a railroad was first stretched out from th^. State Capital toward Terre Haute, trader the touch of an iron rail, as if influenced by a magic wand, the town sprang^up with anew vitality. Its destiny as a railroad center became apparent. Anew ratio of increase was immediately establish^ audits population thenceforth doubled With every decade of the census. Where a ipatch of woods had marked the outer line of settlement a wide street was cut through, substantial buildings lined it, aud inTdue time, structures of more than usuafti^^e and beauty, among which a handsomertopera House is specially worthy of note, Characterized this young city.

More recently, Terre Haute has ind cated her recognition of the true source of her progress, by according some assistance to new railroad enterprises which are to bring prosperity to her gates. As to the propriety of such assistance, room has, however, been found for a differeuce of opinion. In all Communities there are those who are ready to decry improvements involving expenditure or indebtedness, and Terre Haute has a fair share of such citizens. There are people here who, last week, doudted whether the Cincincinnati & Terre Haute Railway existed except on paper. There were others who scarcely hoped that anything more than a show of building it would ever be made. And there was no inconsiderable number of citizens who had no hope of seeing a railroad that any sane man would risk his life upon. The period limited for securing the ajdfl&f the city to the project bad nearly expired. There is not the slightest doubt shat if the time had passed, and the railway had

not been opened, a great many wiseacres would to-day have been shaking their sagacious noddles, and croaking the chorus of "I told you so."

Such, at i^ast as I gather it from conversations with the people who assembled to take the cars at Main street, this morning, was the temper of the town but a few days ago. Not a trace of this remains to-uay. Several hundred gentlemen and ladies—I use the terms advisedly—came to town last night and this morning, to "assist," as the French would say, at the ceremonies. Among them there were many individuals of local eminence, and prominent railway magnates representing other roads. Mark, to begin with, that all these people came on railroads to which this new enterprise must be a competitor, and yet were brought from distant cities on passes furnished by the olflcers of these other railroads. Extra cars were needed to accommodate a concourse larger than had been anticipated, and, moreover, some new cars belonging to the Cincinnati & Terre Haute Railway did not arrive in time for the celebration the rival roads generously lent their cars. But of this kind of liberality, peculiar to, and characteristic of the people west of the Alleghanies, I shall have more to say hereafter. At least 1,500 people were stowed away in the two excursion trains. Perhaps some city reader, who has had the misfortune to be an invited guest at a railway or real estate excursion around New York, is thinking of the' crowd that is drawn togetherHeaven only knows whence—on such occasions near the metropolis. It would be an insult to every individual of this 1,500 to make such a comparison. I doubt whether Emerson gathers at his lectures a more respectable and welldressed assemblage than the people who filled the cars. An equal, or perhaps a much larger number, difficult to estimate in such surroundings, gathered in the woods at the end of the route to receive us they were of somewhat a different sort—the homespun farmers of Clay county, their sun-browned sons, their wives and daughters—bnt they wetfe just as well-behaved, and noticeably more interested than the rest in the speeches. There was absolutely nothing of the rowdy element, and, what seemed to me most remarkable, everybody "talked railroad."

Of course, politics were more or less discussed, and politics are the prominent topics here with all men—and women. The Hon. Dan. Voorhees and Gen. Morton C. Hunter are very active, respectively, in pressing their own claims and discussing those of the Presidential candidates. Gen. Hunter said that he expected to speak at Grant-Republican meetings 29 times within the next 28 days. But it won't help him, though he

is personally popular, for Voorhees, "the tafi Sycamore of the Wabash," sways his followers with equal personal eloquence and greater tenacity of party ties, and the district used to be accounted as certain of not less than 1,000 Democratic majority. Although even a casual observer cannot fail to be impressed by the fact that the prevailing sentiment here is largely in favor of the Liberal move

ment,

the asperity of the wordy controversies that are carried on in the streets, and shops, and hallways, indicate that both sides are battling in grim earnest. Owing to this condition of public sentiment, the services of both Gen. Hunter and Mr. Voorhees, who had been engaged as speakers at this railroad celebration, were dispensed with, for each of those gentlemen was of the opinion that his advocacy of the road might tend to injure it in the estimation of the part of the audience that was politically opposed to him. But although politics were discussed on the trains to some extent, aud there was the usual amount of chit-chat and talk about the weather and the crops, and though the youug men and maidens found opportunity for flirtation in the proximity of the ear-seats, as they always do in any circumstances that bring them together, there was yet one subject constantly uppermost, and that was this new railway.

Not only to those present from other cities, but even to the residents of Terre Haute, the road seemed a novelty. They evidently Bad no idea beforehand that so much of it was finished. To a stranger, the most striking feature is the location of that portion of the road which is in Terre Blaute. The part within the city limits is nearly two miles long it is in a wide street, naturally devoted to commercial and manufacturing purposes, running parallel to the Wabash river, and distant from it, perhfps, 200 to 800 feet. Large buildings, such as stores and factories, facing the wefet'side of th6

A RIVAL OF YO SEMITE.—A gentleman of this city, who recently had a conversation with Bierstadt, the artist, states that the painter has discovered, one hundred miles south of Yo Semite, a valley which far surpasses in natural gradeur that celebrated locality. The rocks are six or seven thousand feet perpendicular, and there is a waterfall of three thousand feet. The highest waterfall in the Yo Semite is twenty-three hundred feet. The scenery is far more imposing than that of Yo Semite.— Pittsburg Chronicle.

THAT affair of honor between Colonel John S. Mosby and Dr. John B. Withers, two Virginia gentlemen, has all blown over. It begun when Withers told Mosby that "he might drive Confederate Generals, but'he couldn't drive a Confederate private, into supporting Grant. Some words followed, and, when it became known that both were going about the streets armed, Judge Keith, fearing an encounter would take place, placed them under bonds.
