One Copy one year, - - 3 8 00 Five " 4 6 " 1260 Ten " " " - 20 00 The Blues and the Greys. The campaign of Greeley and Brown is beginning to develop some features of peculiar interest and beauty. The questions involved in the campaign, and the new attitude of plarties; and many old political oppo bouts, are exoceediigly favorablo for the e.chibition of the true spirit which thould animate a republi. There is a design on foot to give this spirit form and substanco and ex lptession more eloquenrit than any form -of political harangue. A Greeley and lBrown Club is to be organized under the name of "The Blues and the Gres." It is not a ward club. The membership is to be drawn fron St. Louis county, and will be col posed only ofmn who were enlisted in the late war on one side or 'the other. Those who were in the North. crn army will be uniformed fin blue, and those who were in tho Southern army will wear the grey ; and the blue and the grey will march side by tido in processiona, an equal number of each, work like brothers for a com suon cause, and strike for the success of that euose at the ballot box. A meeting for orgi.niv.ation will be held in llachoiPs hall, Eighteenth and Wa1sh streets on Saturday even ing 19th inst., at 8 o'clock. A rpeaaker from each armny will be pres eit and addrets the meet ing-CU pt. Jos. Coleord and John Haloam. They will also enroll themselves as Mem bers of this club. Tle campaign will develop nowhoro a'niore beautiful illustration of the "the (lead past. burying its dead," and the new life 1ad spirit which are spriniging uip out of tho whole political situation.

A Company of Chinese have been engaged the present eason in catch ing mnountaina trout from Lake TUhaoe, tad have supplied a large proportion of the dainty fi'h brought to this market.

The railroad ,pikes, rail clip. jings, etc., found in the toainchs of these fish are of modern patterns. proeisely simiilar to thoso used on the Central Piateio Rail Road, and as tho trout do not come ashore in pur suit of such diet, it is presumed that the Chiniese engiaged inl their capture know rome explanation of the mlys tery.

F"ur President. HORACE GREELEY. Jvi,,r Vice. President. BENJAMIN GRATZ BROWN. A Popular Evil. There is in every community, whether large or small, a class of citi zens who are disposed to tako upon themselves every body's business, and set up themselves as the solo judges of whet is right and wrong. Nothing goes on to suit their peculiar views, and they see only the daik side of a picture. They take particular pains to let the publie know that they are dissatisfied with the way Mr. A. manages his private affairs. They arc uneasy le t Mr. B. nay marry Miss C. The editor of' the county paper does not write according to their man ncr of thinking and 'speakinig, arid docs'nt clip from his exchanges the matter theoy would have selected. Mr. D's wifo dresses too extravagantly for his circumstances. Mr. E. spends more money than lie is worth, while his creditors can't get what is due them. And thus they live, never con tent, dissatisfied, regarding themselves tire most miserable of all mankind, simply because the wheels of timie, and the machinery of thre universe, does'nt work as they wvould direct. Such people arc never happy, anti never will be, if they live to be as old as Methuaelah. That class of humanity that cannot content itself with thre sphicre of Ilifo assigned it, never thrives and is always recognized as the bane of a community. It con tributes in 1no wise to the growth of tile plae, where it may- chance to ex ist. It adds naught to the pleasure and comfort of those by whom it is surrounded. It rests like a blight upon tuoe body politic, nnd its perni cious ilfnflence piervades every stratum of society. The minds of tile young are thus poieonecd with falso ideas of life, and the brighlt vista of an un known future is bedimmed with thre gloomry retrospect of tire past. The experience of an embittered and n prolitable career is held uip as the whole of life, and its worst el ements thus become its historians. Tlhis class, sad to say, quite frc qjuently embraces an influential por tion of a communty, and thereby hns facilities for inculcating its d angerous doctrines. Just so long too, as its in fluence prevails, will that community be backward in thre sc alo of progresse, and fail to rooch that standard com mensurate with tire spir-it of the age. Croakers and sore-heads should be discountenanced by every good citizen, and it should be the conlstant ondeava or of every one, who desires to see himself and his neighbors prosper, to put down whatever of their lifl once may be iliscovered. Horse-racing at Fairs. Since the war a growing feature of State Fairs has been horse-racing, se much so that the - .m.. .a more the esAbiobs for the coming to *et4*fof pr#e jockeys, and sporting charaoters than for the display of the products of the soil, and the protmo tion and encouragement of the aims of science. This practice is totally wrong in principle, and certainly tends to lower the dignity and high character with which agricultural olebra. brations should be invested. Horse racing at best does not conduce te elevate the tone and tastes of any community or section, and its intro. ductiun on occasions when the people meet to pay homage to that most ancient and houorable of all institu tions and putsuits, the tillage of the &oil, cannot fail to receive condemna tion from those who have an eye to the welfare of the country in every phase. Nor is it an attractive feature to those who substantially contribute to the succe.s of agricultural gather. ings. The class of citizens who ap proiate most this kind of sport, as a general rule, make more out of a Fair than a Fair makes out (f them, and cutting down the exhibition to its le. gitimate characteristics would b1 ing upon it no pecuniary loss that would be felt, in case it diove away this pa. tronage, which is ecitainly of a doubt ful nature. Fairs are instituted to subserve a good cud, and when they fail to no o mplish that end, their mission falls short of accomplishment. Their ob. jects should be faithfully carried out, and nothiug outside of tlaie proper sphere countenanced. We hope a sub ject so important as the one we have touched upon, will receive the consid. eration and attention it deserves, and the evil complained of throughout the country be summarily d isposed of. Patrons of H usbandry. In order that tho new agricultural organization, now in process of forma tion throughout the country, imny be better understood, we herewith lay before our readers o manifesto from the National Grange at Washington, and ask that it may receive a careful perusal: NATIONA. G ANCIu, \V AsIINGTO-, D. C. "It is evident to all intelligent minds that the time has cu.ne when those engaged in rural pursuits should have an organization devoted entirely to-their interests. Such it is intend ed to make the Order of Patrons. It was instituted 11-67 ; its growth is un. precedented in the histoiy of secret associations, and It is acknowledged one of the most usefuI and powerful organizations in the United States. [ts grand objects are not only general improvement in httbandry, but to increnso the general happine:s, wealth, and prosperity of tie country. It is founded upon the axioms that the products of the soil comprise the ba-. sis of all wealth ; that nd iv id uI hap piness depends upon1 genieral prosperi - ty, and t hat the w'ulb ei(f a couuntry depends upon the general intellbgence and imntal cultui e of' the pi educing classes. "In the meetings of this Order all but imembers are excluded, and there is in its proceedlings at symbolized rit~ ual, pleasing, beautiful, and appro priate, which is designed not only to charm the fancy, but to cultivate and enlarge the smind and purify the boart, having at the same time strict adaptation to rural pursuits. "The secrecy of' the ritual and pr'o ecedings of the Qader have beeni adloptedl chie-fly for the purpos.e of' mc complishing desired efliciency, exten sion, and unity, and toa secuire amoing its members, in the inte: nal workinmg of the Order, confidence, harmony, anasecurity. "Women arc admittedl to full mem 1 orship, and we solicit the co-opera tion of women because of a conviction that without her aid success will he less certain and decided. Much might be said in this connetion, but every husband andl brother knows that where he can he accompanied by his wife or sister no lessons will be learn ed but those of ptuity' aind truth. Th'le Order of the l'atrons of itus bandry will accomipish a thorough and systematic organiZ'tion amuong far mers and horticolturists throughout the Uniteid States, and will secure ahmnong thenm intimlate social relations and acqunantan ce withI each othler, for the advance ment anid elevamtion: of their- purstuits, with an appreciatien and protection of' their true interests. IBy suchm tmeants may be accom liished that which exists thr'oughout the country in all other avectionsm and among all other elasses-coml bined co-operntive association for in dividual improvement and common betfit. "Among the advantages which may be derived fronm thme Order are sys intnatio arrangron.a for procuring, and dissominating, in the most expe. ditio'us'mnne, information relative to crops, demand and supply, prices, mar ke-ts, and transportation through. out thme country ; also for thle ptur chase and exchange of stoek, seeds, and desired varieties of plants antI niees, and for the purpose of procur ing help at home or abroad, and situa tidnma for persons seeking employment; also, for acertaining and testing the :no'rits of newly-dise'overed farming implements and those not, in .general use, and for detecting and exposing those that are unworthy, and for protecting, by all available means, the farming intbrost from fraud and decnantain. and combain. a of every, kind. We ignore all political or religious discussions in the Order ; we do not solicit the patronoge of any sect, asso oiation, or individual, upon -any grounds whatever, except upon the initrinsio merits of the Order. "The better to secufe greater bene. its to our members, we desire to es tablish Granges in every city, town, and village in the United States." Letter fromaratoga Springs. SARATOGA, July 20, 1872. Mr. Editor : The attractions and entertainments f suoh a phee as Surutoga have for many years elicited the corrtspon dence of visitors, and presutming a letter f.om this place, rcnow;cd in in the history (f the past, woul I at least interest the renders of the News I herewith enclose t brief sunmmary of such items as nay probably entertain your icaders. Sulli.e it. to say, it is not the Saratoga of the pa.st, ts it was beforo the war. 'Tis true the hotels are numerous and splendid, en tertainment for "man and beast" to the number of ten or even twonty thousand, added to a population of some twenty-fivo thousatd more, int a country villago n1ot larger, though much more compact, than our little town of Winnsboko. Access by rail roads in every direction at reasonable rates ; and being racing week, a great rush, more for sport than for the bene. lit of the many sprirgs with which a kind Providence has fut nihed the whole human family, uho may fool disposed to partako of the healing qualities. The writer Nisited this place in 18;0, when the Suthern planter ranked amon the dite of the place, but, alas, how different at the present time. Their places are now filled by quite a different population. It has now become the resort of sporting men and a codfish aristocracy, men who in former years repiesented the Bowery Pawn Brokers, the Chatham Street deal.,rs in old clothes, Omnibus Drivers, R..ilroad employees and (livers mechanical cohntrar tors, w'ho have amassed fortunes "by hook and by crook" and are now with their families spending their money freely in a second hand imitation of the bet ter clas.es. P0o me:ly Saratoga was the i oort of the politician from all qua: ters of the Union, a political cel tre, where Presidents and Cabinets were tunde and faa-hioned, but now it is but the reso:t of fashionable sport ing men, with here und there a can didate fur.office. Society here at, pres ent, preseuts a mixed and motley crew, but few, very fe-s, distingui.b-ed men. As for tho gentler sex, I atm: sure I cain esfely any I never have seen such an array of ugly womnenl in all my life. Frotu my own experience, there certainly is ten times as many handomne ladies to be found at White Sulphur Springs in Virginia, than can possibly le --potted here at the hotels of this place, and I have been inform ed by competent judges on the spot that there are not less than two bun dred women now paying fromi live to eight dollams per dictm at thme first class hotels, who, were ten yeaara ago onily milliners aind washerwomaen in New York city. The'.r hausbands. omnribus dlriver., barbers, bar tenders and poirters. The noted black-leg, John Mon- issey, ownmes about one-half of this place, anid he commaand., it is said, at least, an influence equal to ten thousand votes, a'nd the Irialh sceem to worship him whilsi, others are a fraid of him. As for the display in costumes and wardrobes, there is a decided fall ing off. 'rho Dolly Varden is the general habit, with now anid then a grand display of diamonds by those who can appreciate their- value buat knaow tact houw to disp.lay thenm to ad, vanit:go. A great show in equipages, fast trotters, and many fou: -in-huind. with: livem ied servants outside, with a rottena carcass within, nothaing to boast oi but his stocks in Wall Street, a super fluity of money, but a scarcity of brains. TIhe.-e Is ano display of clothes or extravaagance of attire, which we would naturally associate with the idea of a wealthay and eulti v'ated iteligene; browna linen coats for- comfort duinig the daty and at the dinner table, with a black alpacea sack for at: Lvenin~g dress for the ball :-oomn. The hops or polkas, eonducted only by chaildren or ladies in conples, with now and thean an: atiquated get: tlemnen, younag men being centirely out of thme fray, andl yountg Itadips of char acter aind respectaibility tabsenat from the h~all roomi. hlow d iferent from: for mter years, attributable, it is said, fret: thec fact of the better elasses going to Europe, a trip there naot cost inag more t hatn a sum mer- at, Saruatoga. Indeed, we are truly retrogradinag from the standard oft civ ilhizat ion. Yot witha aba, Saratoga stnay not bo now what it wvas in formecr days whlen patronized by the Southaern laanter. with his family, but the devotees of fashaiona with thecir surplus of funads, aided by lahe invalid from every qular ter, will not euffer Saratogui to be neg heoted, i must, anad will be pat rona ized, niot only as a fashlionaable resort but as .long as her manny - tineral springs send forth thecir halaing wa ters to invigorate and strenLthaen thme phaystcal nman. There are not less than ten to twelve springs within the cir cumference of one mile, possessing chemical qualities, dealgned no doubt by naturo "for the h~ea~ing of all na tions." A gallo4 K' the celebrated Con:gress Spring des not cost you five centa hero, but a would cost five dol lars in: South,Carolina.- It is bottled up and shipped off as fast as twenty. flue mn can prepare it, at $2 per dos. ninte and $4. qant. What a prdi gious profit for the the ailments of the humaq system, and y t I (and you too Mr. Editor) have often paid it for the relief of poor human nature. I might add by way of conclusion, in a political point of view, that Saratoga is perhaps tle daikest hole of Black Ropublicanism in New York State, and the adjoining counties not much better. However, the State is safe for Horace Greeley by 50,000, she nnjority of which must come from New York city. Tho'thermomotor to-day is 102 at 3 P. I. The arrivals for the past week about 13,000 ; only three fom South Garolina. )i les than forty eight hours there wiil be onte less, for I shall certainly leave for a cooler climate and better 'company. I hor nothing 'on change" but the almighty dollar, stocks, bonds, race horses and Useless S. G rant. I would have written you from Bal. timore, giving an account of the Con. vention, but my room-mate returned home very unexpectedly, and I know he could give 3 ou verbally, more than I could in a folio of a thousand pages. (By way of parenthesis.) I would say in all sincerity, nro better delegate was tenit fromn old South Carolina. Our friend Tom tiado his naik, and had moro influence and left' better imnpressions upon the m iuds of some of the Western men than ally mta~n in the delegation.

From a cal. culation made, I am satified it some energetic gentlemen, whom I could name, bad this orchard they would have realized this year more than one hundred dollars clear profit per acro, besides 500 or 600 pounds seed co-ton. There is not in Fail field a more de. sirable site for fruit growing. I was a school boy in that neighborhood fifty years ago-we then had a <Inan. lity of wiat we thought Gu c all seedlings-I doubt whether there has been a total failure of fruit on "that ridge" five years since. Ap ples and grapes would pay for the troulble it would cost to put them out. They labar under one, and but one, disad vantage, viz: their distance from the railroad, five miles to Alston, the nearest point. The promise of ine crops never wvere better. I am glad to find these gentle men and other s in the neigh borhood believe corn and oats "wvill pay'' as well as cotton,. There are in that section a number of' patches of Mean's grass of luxuriant growth, but the planters do not seem to apipre. ciate it. 1 think seed and a few roots might be bought ceep. - T. R. CENTER. Calises of Snicitic, There is nothing more difficult for a sane man to understand than why people will commit suicide. 'Thle prolemn is rendleredl atill mo(rc er plexing by the fact that many suiceides .grow out of causes which anre considered the most trivial Only a little while ago there was that girl who plunged into a watery grave be. cause she had warts, anid the man who hung hiimrself becans0 his wife hal her hair cut off in spite of his opposi tion ; and now within a few d1ays a Wecst Virginia man goes out inito his barn and( becomes his own hang man because his dinner isn't ready promptly. As in those cares the vie.. timsi miust have been inafinitesimnally endowed with brains and withal so senselessly sensitive that their lives would not eonly be a burden to them selves lbut to everybody about them, it, was as well perha ps, to count their taking themselves off' the only '-hap py thought'' (If their' lives, anmd for their benefit make the distinction of justifiable suicide. Slightly sarcastic was the clergy. mani who paused amnd addressed a man comning inito church after the sermon had begun, with the remasrk, "Glad to see you, sir; conic in ; alwaya glad to see those hero late who eeni't, come early."

"Why doe you charge for publishing notices of marriages anid deatths ?" This question was asked of an editor by a man wholhad brought in an obitu ary notice for publication. "Well," replied the editor, "one is a notice of copartnership and the ether is anotice of dissolution." .A youthful Danbury lover, who sang and played before his young lady's house for two mortal hours, was elec trified after a short pause by a cordial "thank you" gracefully pronouncod by thme "ether fellow," who appeared at the other window.
