seamen, who have kept the Union-savers in perpetual ferment by their yell of "Dissolution,"—South Carolina, counselling moderation! Good! If she keeps on, she may, in time, become quite a respectable state. Qu.: How much did the late elections in the North do towards bringing about this change?
It is with no ordinary feelings of regret that we record the death of Wm. Milford, long and favorably known as proprietor of the American Hotel, Cleveland. No hotel in the country ranked higher than the American under his administration, and his death leaves a void not easily filled. The house still continues open, under the supervision of Mr. O. P. Myers, the popular and efficient Clerk. The American will lose none of its reputation under his charge. Gifted with a pleasing manner, and a warm heart, and being thoroughly conversant with the business, he is admirably fitted for the position he occupies. The traveler that cannot feel himself at home in a house presided over by Myers, must be of a very peculiar nature. Whatever changes the American may undergo, we hope he may retain the "old familiar place."
WE are under obligations to our friend A. C. ALLEN, of Fairfield, for the accessions he has made to our subscription list, at different times. By the way, ALLEN keeps one of the best public-houses in the county. Everybody speaks well of it, and those happening that way will do well to try his fare.

There are three thousand names in Huron, Crawford and Richland that are not on our books. Spread the light! One dollar and fifty cents per annum. Office open from 7 A. M., to almost any time at night. To prevent confusion, fall into line at the front entrance, and pass out through the office, down the back-stairs into Rogers'.
MONEY.—The State Treasurer of Indiana advertises that he will take the notes of the Indiana State Stock Banks in payment of taxes. This will have a tendency to confirm the value of Indiana money.
