Oihce open on A Visit to Ycllrfw Creek. Correspondence of the Journal. EbrroKS: At the solicitation of some friends, it.wns THY good pieasnre to leave the wooden side-walks and dust-defiled shrubbery of Rockfordl, for.a short trip into the quiet and -fragrant country. Having never enjoyed a ride in tlu direction proposed, I accepted the invitation with right goodwill. There is always a of satisfaction in beholding some new page in the great scenic volume of nature.

Every change of meridian is a change of horix.on, nnd a few miles motion in earth's diversified panorama brings to the careful observer new combinations of the beautiful, unconceived attractions that make the. soul moiv devout and happy. I took the curs at Kockford, 2 P. (Saturday the 26th,) just as the far-famed Calliope was steaming out "Oh, Susannah don't you cry for me," with tearing chorus, just halfway between the harmony produced by upsetting a load of paving stones and a score of thundeiing. trip hammers in alternating operation.

"Were 1 to write a recipe how to produce Calliope music, it would be a little on this wise Take four Scotch bagpipes out of tune, a half hand organs, two sets wheel gearing making two thousand revolutions a minute, a couple of hemlock bark mills, one quartz crushing machine, ten steam whistles, nnd a drove of elephants sull'ering the agonies of the colic. These different instruments intermingled would produce something near to that horse-terrifying orchestra A. to A. and from Mails Arrive. 3 A.

To show the true hospitality of Mr. Andrews and noble wife, I must not omit to mention that he opened his 'house strangers and friends, who were mode happy and'sntuficd by his well-provided table.

On Monday we, started for Eleroy station. The morning, was salubrious and mild. 1 had the privilege of enjoying one of the finest prospects that eye ever beheld, on this route. There is a very high ridge, over which the road passes, and on the summit of this, an unbroken horizon surrounds you. Droves of are seo.n feeding in the meadows; polygons of grain fields waving like a troubled ocean; far in the valley below were groups of trees here and there to break the monotony and lend a shadow, while the blue smoke is ing from many a happy homestead.

The scene was enchanting. Moses from the height of Pisgah didn't behold richer country.

To RE Editor of this paper goes East this evening, to be absent a week two. He will attend the Groat Reaper Trial at Syracuse, N. and will keep us posted on all items of interest. The home management ol the paper i.slcft in the hands of gontluniiin who will endeavor to attend faithfully to the wants of our readers until Mr. J.

shall return. The Bulletin, while its present edi- control's its columns, will not do anything to overturn the Dred Scott decision or cripple the Nebraska Journal. That so; we believe in the rights of the peome govern themselves, so long as they the. limits of the Constitution of The United States, and are tho advocate of the equality of bluclcs and whites, as are the editors of'the Bulletin. You do believe, then, in Squatter do you, without (as Micawber any mental reservation or hesitation? Yon holiove, do you, that Congress has no right to interfere with the domestic arrangements in Utah? You go in for polygamy, as Well as amalgamation, eh? As for our being the advocate of the RQUAUTV of the blacks and whites," in tho sense that the Bulletin, seeks to make us, need not repeat that the assertion is i false.

When we contend that a negro is human, and as such entitled to the inaliena- ble rights of humanity, we do not by any means place him upon an intellectual or so- rial equality, nor do we invite him to pitch his tent by the sidV of ours; and nono but ass would so it. The best joke editor of tlie Bulletin signed Hagg's petition. What, did he sign that fnr if Brawleyund f'agg are .40 equal as tlie Bulletin seeks to make them in the last issuer 1 Joitrnnl. When men car; but little', any nil, tor the. truth, plain language may hi- Uie best reply; and therefore we pruiiDiince tiie above statement, so far as our signing any petition, tor any purpose, since our arrival in City of Freeport, lie.

Any fool can say "you lie." It is no proof of the justice of a man's or of his individual smartness," to know that lu- can bandy such epithets readily. As to our assertion that the editor of the Bulletin Bigg's petition, we mude it upon what we deemed good authority. A re- Hponsible person informed us that t.uch was the case, evidently lii-d." We will not thai the Bulletin editor has, but we. have great con.h'dence in the veracity of our informant. that perambulates our towns and cities which call the Sillyope, and others the Calliope.

having taken a seat in the express, a portending shower burst upon us with luvian horrors. Lightning, thunder and wind, with pouring torrents of rain made hour gloomy and terrible. The sloughs were soon filled, and rivers of muddy water came rushing down the sloping wheat fields as if a water-spout had sprung agleak. In some places the tops of the fences were under the new fallen rain. Acres of tall, bulky grain was prostrate where the giant of the storm bad planted his foot.

Having reached Kreeport, I perceived that the streets were dust)' and wholly unwiished by the torrents that came down on Uockford and vicinity. 1 met my friend, Silas Andrews, at the station house with conveyance 10 Yellow Creek, waiting my arrival. We were soon on hoard, and having taken a squint at your busy town, we were on our way through the best section-of country that I have seen in the west. The scenery through that region, extending from Freeport to Yellow Creek is inviting in the extreme. It is more diversified with those bold features of New Kugland hill, valley and opinion thick towering wildwood, than most i nine sections.

Here and there could be seen the broad meadow waving with coarse verdure, with majestic oaks lifting hiirh and stretch- Chicago Tribune, says The whole number of votes cast by the Border Ruffians, alias tho National Democracy," for delegates to the Constitutional Convention, will not exceed 1,500, out of a population of fully adult males.

It looks symmetrical and truly mathematical in its well rounded and 'balanced proportions. I noticed a piece of very valuable timber about six miles from Frccpoit, the stoutest and cleanest that my eyes have beheld in this State. The wheat arid other small grain looked bountifully promising along the road. The frequent rains have given it a rank, sturdy growth, anil only an interim of dry, sunny weather is wanting to insuru- an unparalleled crop.

Corn looked badly. Some pieces were deluged out and having undergone the piocess of twice planting, the grass allied the supremacy, and; iese appeared wretched and i unpromising. 1 discovered but three iields that Mad the aspect of thrift and i promise. If there is an average crop of! corn this summer, it will be the fruit of un; tiring industry. The ground has got to be! stirred often and well.

Frequent plowing and careful harrowing are requisite to offset the cold and unfavorable season. Farmers niil liavo to do in keeping their fields clean and preserving their hay. Late springs crowd work together, and allot much in a shnrt space. I reached Yellow Creek about and received the hospitalities of my friend, who is generous to a fault. Andrews lives in a neat, comfortable house, recently built, and urcupits his time in manufacturing Fanning Mills, a specimen of which I examined and found it to excel in lightness, durability of structure and perfcetness 01 design, anything of the kind I ever saw.

I How a farmer can get along without the aid of one of these valuable machines 1 cannot determine. It does its work well, and takes more outs out of wheat than any that you can bring on. 1 inderstand that he sells these Fanners tor low therefor.

They go in for amalgamation without marriage, as the great number of yellow boys and girls and the few mixed marriages in tlie SOIKII, certainly prove. Tlie peculiarity of tin; orthodox Democratic belief is" due no doubt to this marriage there is no legal impediment to a father's selling his own practice to which the most vociferous brawlersabout "Abolitionists" are not a little addicted.
