As the time for nominating candidates for coun- ty officers and member of Congress draws nigh, political excitement steadily inereases. Last night, the democrats were to elect delegates to ut- tend the convention which will assemble at Beek- mopville, in a few days, to nominate a county ticket. They pominate, at the same time, a can- didate for member of Congress. Several persons are spoken of for this nomiaation. Among the most prominent are the names of Hon. Daniel D. Akin, Gilbert Dean, Esq., aud Hon. M. C. Story. Meanwhile, the whigs are not lying inactive. They ere soon to held a county convention, for the purpose of nominating w ticket to be supported at the next election. Poilip Van Reasselaer, — Kroger, and Epeneias Croaby, Msq., have been spoken of for the nomigxvon of member of Con- grees. It is diflicult to sry how the next election willgo. As forthe couaty ticket, it will, in all probability, be well conteated. The examination at the Poughkeepsie Colle- jute commenced list night, and contioues till ednesday evening. The exercises are of a very interesting character. Under the management of ite principal, Mr. Bartlett, aided by Professor Naime, and some half dozen other assistants, the school has attumed a very great degree of pros- perity, at present connie | pene View d pupils, all of whom are boarders. Never before has Mr. Bartlett been so fortunate in procuring a board of teachers, as he hus been forthe past year. The departments of the ancient aad modern languages, of mathematics, and of the differeot branches of an English education, are all ably filled by men well quelitied toteach. Such being the case, the school has ever been well petrovised, and probably will continue to be 80, as long as it remainsin the Lands of the present proprietor. Since the equinectia! storm has left us, we have had three days of very cool weather. On Sunday, the cold, cuttiag wiud reminded every one of their overc and, in fact, we saw quite a number of them ia the streets. ‘The spirit of improvement seems at visited our village. The property I douth side of Main street, between the First Re- formed Dutch Church, nud_the soap and candle factory of Messrs. De Groff and Son, which was formerly encumbered by the presence of a long row of miserable tumble down houses, has at leagth been cleared of nd now presents several advantageous building sites, upon which we soon hope to see erected a handsome row of brick buildings. The corporation seem also to be in favor of improvements. Forseveral weeks past, men have been at work grading the lower part of Academy street, so that it now presenta a very handsome appearance. ‘The Gas Company who came here and put up buildings during the summer, have nearly com- pleted their arrangements, and in all prodability will soon be jacinta to put their works in opera- tion. Pipes have beex laid through all the priaci- ple streets, and gos fixtures have been put up in Many stores and private dwellings. Whether the streets are to be lighted with-gasis yet a matter of doubt. Whether they are or not remains with the corporation to say. At present the streets are not lighted at all, and it is only the presence of an occesional lamp, supported by private individuals, thet would lead any one to suppose that the idea of« lemp pest ever entered the head of any citizea af Poughkeepsie. That the streets shall be lighted, seems lo be the desire of every one: ii be done? Diy all means let the corporation say yes. Oar Harruburg Correspondence. Hanarsnunrs, Sept. 27th, 1950.

[From the 8t Louis Repabiican, Sept. 23 | By the steamer Robt Fulton, trom the Missouri yesterday, we received the Frontier Guardian va, of thu l4th. It sonounces the arrival of the United States mail from Salt Lake City, with dates to the Sd of Au t, This mail arrived 6n the 12ch inst, in charge of Mr. Jobm Greene.

Since harvest, flour has been selling for twenty-five dollars per hundred. The amount of grain sowed list fall and spring was immense. great majority of the (ali grain hae produced an excellent erep, and the spripg crop looks remarkably well.

It ia a gemeral time of health with the saints, and peace and plenty of herd work. asevery one has been so busy that they can hardly get time to eat or sleep. You speak about harry and bustle at Kapesville; but if you were here, to see, feel, and realize the burdens, labor, and respoasibili- ties, which are daily, hourly, momentarily, rolling. piling, tumbling, and thundering upon us, you woald at least conclude that there was no danger of our get- ting the gout from idleness, or teo much jollity.
