Thus it is we find ri new centers" in this western coun try greatly dissatisfied with their present tondition, had we frequently hear them c.noplain of the non-productivenees of their lon Is when compnred with the mob harvests Okey Were/EMU *tOnatd to gather front their eastern farm's'. They scout to forget the all important fact.that. west is not mot, and that western tbfl is altogether different front etatrtil'aoil; and, being different in forma• tun., it acquires a ditereat—inuda of culture an I at (umlaut:le. • There is, probably, no State in the west, certainly none that we ever passed over, that contains as great a variety of farming /ands as this "Ilawkeye State." We have here the limestone lands of the Des Moines valley; the slate stone lands near the :Ilia-, souri border, and the sandy soil of the Missouri river slopes. Take Leo, Van Bic- . ten, Davis, Appenoose, Ringgold, Taylor upd Page counties, along the southern bor der of the State, and yrs. have lands similar to those found is parts of Blair, Hunting don, Mille. sad Juniata counties of your state. lu all these - first named' counties coal, timber, sand and freestone abound in team kable profusion. These counties aro principally settled by Kentuckians, Indian tans and a beggarly tew from Ohio. A good quality of winter wheat is raised success fully in all these comities, yet a majority of tke farmers plant and cultivate tints,' lauds iu the same manner as was their custom to do In the States from which they originally hailed. And many of them simply sow the aced, anddeave all the remaining labor to be perfor . rged by Providence or some other Supernatural agency, and the result very frequently is that the harvests are slim, mud those sleepy farmers wake up to find them selves minus an abundance. There are gibed lands in all the counties in the southern tier of this State. There is plenty of titaber and coal, excellent fruit tut:herds, and fißely itn{troved• Teruo, but they lack ono very important requisite, nautely—water. There are many small creeks in all those counties, but they invariably run dry in the summer season. While we were tray ellng through that liar last summer we found great diMculty obtainiug_yater onougllioin the summits orfills to.supply our horses. Cistern water used almost exclusively during the summer and winter months, and should and should a drouth prevail in the summer season—wkioh fre quently happens there—even the water in the cisterns gives out, and the people are compelled to resort to the sloughs of go on short allowance.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1,1865. (From Me Rom Cburiet.) BILL ARP ON THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. "Bill Arp," who lately made a very hap py hit, iu a letter to Artemus Ward, has written the following iu the same strain on the state of the country : "Sweet land of Liberty Of thee I sing." Not much I don't, not at this time. If there's anything sweet about liberty in this pom of the vineyard, I enn't see it. The• land's good onuf and 1 would'nt mind hearin a hyme or two about the dirt I live on 1311 j as for me flndin sugar and liberty in Georgy soil, its all a mistake. Howsumever, hopeful. I'm much ealmer and aereenel• than I was a few months ago,. I begin to feel kindly towards all people, einept•some. I'm now endeaverin to be a great national man. I've taken up a mottoe of no North, no Soilth, no East, no {Vest; but lot die tell yuu, u y friend, I'll bet on Dixie, no long as I got a dollar. Its no harm to run both skedules. In fakt its highly harmonious to do so. I'm afood Union rdb, and my bat tle cry aro Dixie and the Union. But you see, my friend, we are gettin restless about some things. ti the war L'all .begun mil heavy on us, and after the big collapse, we though it woo over ,for good. We had killed folks awl killed folks until 151415T1 rormiruirlig a - Weft - 4; Cif we were;mity nigh played out all over. - Minted Wire Tiforeasin auk diinin- - ish in. BY , a close calculashun ft was per ceeved that we did'nt kill our enemies as fast as they was imported, and about those times I thought it was a pity that some mlrakle of grace had'nt cut, of' the breed of furriners some 18 or 20 years ago. Teen you wouldhava aeacLa fax _fight. General Sherman wouldn't have walked over the track, and Ulyse's Would have killed more teen than he did ---of lice own aide. I hay always they that a General ought to be per tikler which side ha t ivas eacrifisin. Well, if the VPar is over, wllats the use of fillin up our towns and cities with soldiers any longer. Where's your rfokotistruction that the papers say is ruin on so rapidly? Where's the liberty and freedom? The fakt is, General Bberman , and s hili, caterpil lars made such a Olean ewecpilfivcrything I dont see much to reconairilkt. Thgy Cook so many liberties around hero that there's nary liberty left. I could have reconstruc ted a thousand sicb States before this. Any body could. There watent nuthiu to do but lost 'to go off and let us alone. We've etto plenty of Stateamr— , plenty of men for Governor. Joe Town 'flint dead—he's a waitin— standin t the (nth. 'with his hat off. Then what's the soldier here for—what good are they doin—'Who wants to see 'em any lon ger. Everybody is tired of the war and we dont want to see any more signs of it. The Diggers don't want 'em Anil the white men dont want 'emu, and as for the wimen— whoopee ! I golly ! Well, there's no use Lipkin—when the stars fall agin may be the wimeu will be harmonized. That male bu siness—that oath about vain letters! Gee, tiger! They always was jealous about males anyhow, and that order jest, broke the orm,Luel's back. Well, I must confess that it was powerful small concern. I would try to softer smooth it over if I knowd what to-say, but I don't. if they was afeored of the wimen why tlid'ut they say so. If they wasn't what do they make 'cm swear for. Jest to aggrevate 'etam? Didn't they know that the best way to harmonize a man, was to harmonize his wife ,fiist ? 'What harm caruthe whim' do byreeeiviu their letters oath free? They can't vote, nor they can't preach, nor hold offis, nor play soldier, nor monster, nor wear breeches,' nor ride strad dle, nor Cll4ll, nor chow terbacker, nor do' nuthin hardly but talk add iffiltb letters. I hoar that a valant kernel in wimen put up her fan because it had a pi ter of Dory gard 'pon 11.—Well, she's harmouized, I reckon. Now the trouble of all siolm is that after these bayonets leave here and go home, these pettycoat ty'rante dau't conic back any more. Some Georgy fool will mash the juce out of 'em Berlin, and Witt would'ut be neither harmonious or healthy. Better let the wimen alone. Then, there is another thing rin waitin for.' Why don't they rekonstrukt the nig -gera- if they are' over goin to I' They've give 'em a powerful site of freedom, and very little else. Here's the big freedmen's buro, and the little bores all over the coun try, and the papers aro full of grand orders and special orders, and paragrafs, but I'll bet a possum some of 'Om steals my wood this winter or freezes to death. Freedthen's buro ! freedmen's humbug, I say. Jest when the corn needed plowin the worst, the buro rung the bell and tolled all the nigger* to Town, and the farmers Vet the crops ; and now the freedmen is getn 614 and hungry, and wants to go back, and at: e aint nuthin for 'ens to go to. But freed men is big thing. Hurraw for freedmen's buro ! Sweet land of liberty, of thee I don't sing i But all is right. I'm for freedmen myself. NobOdurantseaer -mere slavery. If the abolitiodists had•let - us alone we would have fixed it up right- along time ago, and we ran fix It up now. The buro aint fixed it, bud aint a goin to. It don't know any thing abouk it. Our people have got a heap more feelin for. the poor nigger than any abolitionists. We are as poor as Job, but I'll bet a dollar we can raise more ' Money in Route to build a nigger church than they'did in Bos town. The papers say that after pin roan for 8 weeks, the Bps , town oltriitians raised thirty-seven dollars to build a nigger church in Savannah. They pre powerful on theory but mighty rime in ' practice. ,MMr!r7M Dint no use talkie. Everybody will know by wailin.who's been foold.

By some be is supposed to have been a Jesuit priest; others, ttiOtAgli attributing t 9 him an Indian origin, have no distinct idea. in tho matter ; while again there are those who regard him gs entirely p myth: Tammany, or Tamminund, inwever, was a veritable personage---g chief of the Dete nte nation—liviiteprobably in Middle of Hid seventeenth century. He resided in the country which is now Delaware until he was of age, when he moved beyond the All.eglia nies, and settled on the banks of the Ohio. He became a chief sachem of his tribi, and tering always a fast friend of the whites, of ten restrained his warriors from deeds of violence. His rule was always disoreet, and he endeavored to induce his followers to cultivate agriculture grid the arts of peace rather than these of war—When he became old ho called a. council with a view to have a successor appointed; after which the res idue of his life vise spent in retirement ; and tradition relates that. "young and old repair ed to his ;iiwamio - 17eaiSbitii discon - rse iii. dom." His great risotto was, `qlnited in peace for happiness, in war for defence." When and by whom lie was first styled saint or by what chance he was chosen to be the patron of the Democracy does not appear. RICHUIRABLIC VIEWS OP MR. SEWARD.-- Mr. Seward is a power in the Government. What dose ho say on the gabled of hanging_ Jrtferson Davis 1 Let us see. The -Now York correspondent, of the Jacon EGO.) Telegraph, writing on the 16th of October, says : "Since I have introduced Mr. Seward's name, I will refer to a convereatoin he had a few days since with Thurlow Weed— Jefferson •Ihvis being the subject. Weed said, Mr. Davis should be hanged, and ex pressed himself quite warmly on the subject. Mr. Sewtird then propounded the query: 'Why should you hang him ?' to whioh Weed replied: 'I would hang• him for treason.' Mr. Seward responded in his energetic way ;'Ws cannot hang Davis without first convicting him, and I think no impartial jury would do that.' Weed said : 'His guilt is already established, and his conviction should not:be difficult.' But Mr. Howard' maintained that no jury could be formed to convict, him, and added in a -significant way: And even if we should hang bun, it, would hello great moral lesson to the world.' Gentlemen who were 'present during the conversation infer from it that Mr. Davies life is safo, at least.

On the other hand, he styles the -glorious" crusade, a cud war. Ner does he utter a word about "a causeless rebellion," nor even mention , that term so dear to every clerical Abolition lick-spittle, Loyalty! Nay, he even specifics our "an• larged civil liberty" (which means the abol ishment of Lincoln's hostiles, the revocation of martial law and pardon of political offen ders) as something for which we sought to thank Providence.

All Americans are familiar With tide Both briquet of thwarts& Andrew Jackson ; yet veri few kbo* hod it, was earned by the old hdto. l• happen ha' be able to inform your readers. 1n1836 I was Intimately itequaintell with Col. John Allen. United tlnites agent of the Chickasaw Indian*, residing in Pontotoc; and whir- his brotheri - Captittw - liithatt 41- len, then lantern - beat in that town. I learned 'from Captain William Allen that hta father wee a.-near neighbor and ieveted-friciwksf- General Jackson, and that ire and broth er John served as soldiers in his contort, in all his campaigns, and damped at the saute fire, and messed with him during the Creek war. They were certainly great faiorttes with him; and ho :rew`ardod them Tar their friendship by giving theta lucrative appoint- , ciente in the Chickasaw nation while he was President. Iti conversation with Captain Allen shout General Jackson, an one neer:, Ilion, I :irked him huir ire acquired the,clatud ,of "Old Hickory." I give his rep)y, as near as I can remember, in his own words : “Puting Ike eatopaigti, whidh, included the battle of )muokfe.w Creek, the army was moving rapidly to srurprise the Indiana, and we were without tents. In the month of Marnh,,,l cold equiudetiel gale fell on !Pr, mingled with sleet, which lasted several days. The General wan exposed to the weather, and was suffering severly with a bail coil and sore throat. * At night we bivouacked in a muddy bottom s while is was enuring down rain, which froze as it fell. My brotier John and I, finding that he was unwell, boosmo uneasy about Lim, though he dui not 'complain, and laid down upon the blanket by the camp fire with his soldiers. Seeing him, wet to the skin, atretchid in the mud and water in his suf• feting condition, we determined to try and make him more comfoiable. "We cut down .a stout hickory tree, in whit& the sap was rising, and peeled.the bark from it in large flakes ; cut tiro TOrkii 111 - d - db illeirr — or and dead loaves, and roofed it, and olosed one side, or rather one end of the structure, against the wind, with bark, and left the othOr open. We then dried our blankets, ind made him a pallet in the tent we'lleAl constructed. ' We woke up the old General, and with some difficulty persuaded him to crawl in. With his saddle for a pillow, wrapped in -oar--dry- blankets, - and his feet to the fire, he slept snuggly and soundly all night, well cased in hickory bark. "The next morning, an old man from-the neighborhood camp came , with whiskY, with which, after imbibing quite - freely himself, he gave us all 'a treat,' as-far as the liquor ;rould g', . He seemed to be a kind-hearted, Jovial, and patriotic old fel low—a sort of 'privileged charaetertin this ookintry. While staggering about among the camp-fires, full of fun and whisky, he blundered upon our little, hickory bark tent, which immediately arrested hie attention. Alit eying it. fora moment he exclaimed, '*hat sort of an outlandish Indian fun' is -this 1' and gave it a kink, which tumbled down the queer looking structure, and com pletely buried, the old hero in bark. As he bruggled out of the ruins, and looked -tend" around for the anther of the mis chief; tbe. old toper recognised him, anti exolainfed, %olio: Old Hickory! come out of your bark, and join us le a drink r' ..There wits something so ludicrous in the whole scene, that respect for his Fres. once and rank could not restrain cur mer• riment. He very good humertally joitSCd us in laughing at the mishap. As he rose up, and shook In bark from him, we all gave hins • viva .Hurrah for Old Hickory I" - This Was the Bret time he ever heard these words, whioh were afterwards shouted by the millions of his oeuntrymen whenever he appeard among them." I will only add that Captain William Allen, of Day, idsoa. county, Tenneesee, who died in Pontotioc in 1837 was distinguished for courage, integrity; awl striol veracity ; and the above may be regarded as a - count of the origin of the nick-name.of.Gen. eral Audrew Jacksoli.--Jack4o (Misr.)
