ENGLAND'S DISTRESS AT HOME.-Thei are gloomy prospects ahead duriug tr. coming winter for the English poo The telegrams and mail accounts recen ly have spoken nf tho advunce iu tl price of fuel. "Coal has gone up," i the saying is, and whether the advant in price arises from a falling off in tl yield, increased consomption by the m nufactories, or by reason of tho confiic between the miuers and their muster tho fact romuins thu same, that coal h enormonsly risen in price from the rat charged last your. This of itself won provo a hardship, especially to the poor classes; but then tbore are other misfc tunes still moro distressing. Tho pota crop bus failed generally throughout t British isles. Thu accounts from the a ricultural districts in the English shit is of the most distressing character, writer in one of the agrionltural pape of England estimates that 1.630,0 acres of tho potato crop uro all but t stroyed, while another equally good fi thority declares that ho "hardly ever i members thu malady so general and t destruction HO complete." In lroia and Scotlaud thu crop is also blightt possibly not to the same extent as England, but sufficiently extensive to severely felt by tho poorer classes in ht countries. Th? foot und mouth disui among the cattle is another cause alarm. Tho disease, which made iti manifest to a considerable extent 1 year, has now re? appeared ia et ill grea proportions. In Norfolk, in two wee the loss in sheep alone amounted in va to ovor 8112,000. Taking evorytb into consideration, and with these fu before UB, it is evident that tho appro of winter ia regarded with feelings dread by tho poor, hard-worked and paid mechanics, laborers and work people of England, Ireland and Scotia AN UNLUCKY STREAK OP LUCK.-' fortunate Henry Li Pierre, of Sun Fr oisoo, most unfortunately drew, a mo si nco, a prize of 82,500 in tho Hu v.

Yotiug James Gorden Bcnnott is ing to build a $250,00;) monument ti i father. It will be a white marble s with designs illustrating journalism. THE WAY TO WIN.-The Louisville ! Courier-Journal is a fine papor, and it | very often says Que things better than any other paper can say them. It points j out in a recent urticle the way to win, iu strong, terse, pure Sar. m. Wo repro- J duce portions of its sound advice: The friends of Mr. Greeley are relying altogether too much on the fact that a majority of the people prefer him to , Grant. They are making too little effort. They are too much incliued to fold their ! arms and poaaivoly wait for victory to 1 perch upon their banner. They must j throw oil this idleuess and enter into the campaigu more vigorously. They must act upon the advice of Hercules to the wagoner, and put their shoulders to the wheel. By vigorous and concerted aotion, thero ia no doubt they will bo able to ' pull through; but, if they leave the Libe? ral campaign to run itself, they may lose uli. We do not say that the Liberal candi? dates would not be oleoted in spite of the extraordinary efforts of the Radicals to defeat them, if not another liberal speech were made and not a Liberal dollar expended during the rest of the campaign. The ground-swell is a reali? ty, and it is felt in every part of the country, from North to South, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. But there is too much at stake to trust everything to the great ro-aotion in popular sentiment. Tho Democrats and Liberals cannot afford to remain passive in this contest. If they lose, they lose everything-con? stitutional government and nil. It will not do for them to uuder-estimato the potency of the influences which aro being brought to bear by the friends of Gen. Grant. It will not do to rely too mnch on the evidences of a popular pre? ference for Greeley. We need hardly say that we feel the utmost anxiety respecting the Presiden? tial contest. The freeing of the South? ern people from the thraldrom in which they have been held sin?o the termina? tion of tho war depends upon it. Honesty and purity in the administra? tion of public affairs depeuds upon it. The restoration of nationality and peace to all sections depends upou it. The maintenance of constitutional govern? ment and the preservation of freo insti? tutions depend upon it. Wo appeal to Liberals and Democrats, therefore, to do their duty, and their whole duly. The battle is already half won. Let us not loso it by culpable negligence. HORACE GREELEY-Sut: As citizens of tho republic whoso rights have been se? cured through thu instrumentality of as? sociations with which you have been pro? minently and intimately identified in the past, religiously respecting the rights of all other citizens while zealously guard? ing our own, and desiring to manifest our appreciation of that reconciliation of which you are the living representative, and which mast precede the lasting peace and prosperity of the country, we take tho liberty to request that you in-! form us what will be the policy of your I administration toward the colored people | of the country in the event of your elec? tion to tho Presidency of tho United States.

GENTLEMEN: I have yours of the 7th inst., to which I make prompt and brief reply. Should 1 be ohosen President, I should of course take a solemn oath to respect and obey the Constitution of the United States. That noble instrument 1 recognizes no distinction between citi? zens of the United States based on color, and I should be governed thereby, should not especially favor one race or | another, but I should use all the power of my cilice to uphold and enforce the I equal rights of all citizens, whether white or black.

The question hos often been asked by ,hose interrestod, "Can I have my grey bair restored to its natural color, with )ut coloring the Bkin? and can my thin looks be thickened?" We answer, "It Min;" and would advise you to read a treatise on the hair, which is published t>y B. P. Hall & Co., Nashua, N. H., who send it free, upon application. They ?re the proprietors of Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Bair Renewer. We learn from it, the hair, in a perfect state of health, is co3Htautly falling out, and new hairs ?row from the same tubes; but, in case jf any disease of the scalp, or by the use >f alcoholic preparations, the hair tube jecomcs contracted at its mouth, and prevents the new follicle from reaching the surface. Their preparation will create a perfectly healthy condition of the scalp, and, by its tonic properties, will preserve and strengthen tho roots jf the hair. [Statesman, Des Moines, Iowa. ADMINISTRATION TACTICS.-A gentle? man representing ono of the railroads terminating at St. Louis, and who lately held tho office of postmaster of a town in Illinois, had a circular addressed to him EI day or two since, from the Grant and Wilson headquarters, Chicago, asseessing him $48 towards tho expenses of tho present campaign. The circular states that the contest is a close one in Illinois and expensive. It states further, that money is especially wanted to secure German speakers and documents in Ger man for circulation. Thus, by unwit? tingly ?ending a note to an uninterest? ed party, have the emissaries of the Ad? ministration exposed their tactics. The admission in the circular is au import? ant one.-St. Louit Republican. For an unexplained reason, it is said Boveral ladies fainted during a speech re? cently delivered by Gen.
