0.rJust as our paper was going to press we
received a communication from Milton, signed
ANONYMOUSLY The writer should have given u-
his name Where principles alone attacked
we do not require this, but when the conduct OF
individuals IS denounced, we must have a resPon-
,;bc name The writer will see the necessity OF
this rule.
Lafayette Indiana.-But few towns this
state surrounded by a better or more fertile
country than IS Lafayetto The exports from
that place from the first Of February to the 20th
Of April Of the presen, year wil DO sufficient
proof Of the ab0t assertion. The shipment for
the southern market, during the time above stat
ed were - ,2OG barrels Of pork; I2,O>O kegs Of
lard; lO,ll2 barrels Of -four; l7,lSl l3shels Of
wheat; ii $50 bushels Of corn &c, amounting
to S22G BOB GSA. The number OF Hat boats built
during the same period -, and Of steamboat
arrivals 80.
1Hr. Tu1 B4rcn, was expected 20 DO IN Cincin
nati on Thursday last. The Gazette says he is
there upon the exclusive invitation of hIs political
friends. lilo was to be received by committee Of
100 OF his friends through several of tho
streets to the DennIson House. Shortly after this
we suppose caucus was held, bargains made
outposts established, and seniineI5 placed at them,

annapolis, Torc TIautc, and ST. Louis In this case
he would pass through own goodIy city some
time next week. We would advise our loco
friends TO invest themselves with clean linen,
wash their faces, black thor boots, and each one
provide himself with pint flask ofcoogno.
We beg pardon, did not intend to alIude TO
Martins ndyism-but it was so natural.
Lafayette Branch Baak-Statc Sentinel, Sc
late number of the Sentinel contains a letter
purporting to have been written Mt lafayette de-
nounciug in no measured terms the officers of the
Branch Bank ut that place. We have seldom
read an article of the same length more destitute
OF truth. 1t bears not even mark of the sem
hlanco Of truth, and was doubtless written by
some black hearted politician. who hopes under
the cover Of on anonymous name and the wings
of the fort of tho Sentinel to rniseod the public,
and pre- JUDGE the minds Of The people against the
officers Of the Branch at Lafayette. We Of
course do not know the author of the article al
luded 10, but we doubt whether his fingers ore
yot dirty from some acts of chnshlering ia the
same institution. Ills statements respecting tho
present Cashier, Mr.. c. BALL, are wholly and
utterly untrue, with ono exception. Mr.. BALL
is not only an efficient officer, honest, upright
aud honorable man, bul he Is known TO bo So, BY
the community in which he has long resided,
aud has the full confidence of the stockholders
Of the institution Of which ho is an officer. This
notable author, who signs his name "Lafavette'
also informs the people Of Tho State OF Indiana
that the Branrl, q I-afa yetie has been sued for
tho sum Of $4,000. by II. Ensmngor. This We
believe Is true, but NO arc Informed that he Of
fers 10 compromise the claim for % $50.
This suit Will most probably terminate as one, of
which we have some knowledge, We were
"onco upon a time" sued for ten thousand dollars
in libel case by u staggering ocoIoco oiFiee-
holder, but when the case cama up for trial, i.
Withdrawn by the plaintiff, aud about the
lasitimo we saw orr friend, tho Sheriff had him
IN toe for costs in the
So will probably end the case Of Mr.. Ensmn-
ger rs. the Bank. 1t is too true, however, that
the Branch At Lafayette is not in as good stu
alton OF tho other Branches. In its car
ly days Locofocoism had its blghting hands upon
il, and is weighing ii down with an incubus,
which requires strong hands and homes, hearts /
10 support !
The Article in the Sentinel will doubtless be
extensively copied by the loco papers Of the
State, ard only wish to say that knolr it
tobe tissue Of falsehood and entirely undeserv-
ing of credit II is the interest Of the people
OF this state 60 sustain their Bank in her efforts
to resume specie payments, and We hope the
scrblings of anonymous writer may have no .
preigdcial effect upon the interests of the people
