THE LATEST YEr--A young gentleman
of respectable family was standing in ont o.
the Western Hotel At Springfield, Mass, .
few days ago, when he was a]ccosted by d
bltnt-spoken person, who informed him that
be was Sheriff Clapp Of Worthington, and
that he was Commissioned TO arreet him for
a forgery in which he was Implicated. The
young man, horriied Attic accusation, plead
his entire Innocence Of the enlarge, but all
TO no pnrpose--the Sheriff was inexorabIe, as
SheriTs always are--when array Of hope APP
peard. The sheriff, on their way to The jail,
offered to clear him if be would give him SI5,
and say nothing about The matter. This the
prisoner eagerly complied with, and was set
at liberty. ttis almost needless to add, that
the supposed sheriff was a humbug, and that
no forgery was whatever had been committed,
Rogers, the perpGtrator of this "misdefneanor,
has since been arrested.

tho citizens of Hardin and Larue counties

operation, and whilst Mr.. Parkes was
in bed, he experienced "the most excFuct.

cheeks appeared to be OF fire, and, after a
short time, he, being unable 10 endure the
torture any longer, got up and applied
water 10 his face, bnt no sooner had he.
done so than large pieces of flesh pealed

complainant might have produced the eff
feet described. The case was dismissed,
the magistrates having no jurisdiction.

SwTHDLIHG ON A LARGE SCA1E.-Ol
the 18th ofJan., a person calling himself
Maurice De Rohr applied to Mr.. Alexan-
der L~ecourt, of the corner of Royal and
Customhouse streets, for the sun or $500.
TO purchase in the dfy-goods line, by
which he said an immense profit could be
made, and which should be shared equally
between them. This sum was advanced,
and subsequently $500 more, for which q
note was given by De Rohr for tho sum of
$1,000, as collateral security. The goods
were never purchased, and on The 7th INST.
The note was protested; ~whereupon an af-
fdavit was made against De Rohr, before
Recorder Genois, charging him with
swindIing--but he had left The city. Yes,

Soldiers Of the War of A, D. 1912.

While politicians are meeting together and ex.
pressing their preferences for men and measures,
and which expression is, 10 some extent, regard.
ed as evidence of public sentiment, we call upon
the Soldiers Of A. D. 1919, to meet their friends
in arms at the Court House, in Carrollton, Car.
roll county, Ohio, on FRIDAY, the FIRST
DAY OF JANUARY NEXT, at as early an
hour as practicable, for the purpose of giving ut!
terance TO their views of the great measures of
policy by which our country shall be governed,
and also their preference for the first gifts of
our free republic. We desire to make no de.
monstralions as politicians, but as honest Anne.

try, and have experienced the priyations of
Soldiers life and Soldiers fare! Come up,
then, and let US speak for ourselves! This call
means CARROLL and all the adjoining conn.

TO greet the Soldiers with the enlivening airs of

TIE MEXICAN WAR.-Gen. Taylor, on the 9Th
of November last, addressed letter to Santa An
ma, notifying him that the Government of the u
nited States had ordered him 10 terminate the sus-
pension of hostilties, and that he should consd-
er himself at liberty to pass the line designated
in the articles of capitulation, on the 18th ult.-
The General, in his letter, says that "When the
conventionwas entered into towhich have refer
red, entertained the hope thatthetermsin in which
it was conceived would open the way for the two
republics to agree upon an honorable peace."-
To this part of the note Santa Anna makes the
followingreply, which is certainly definite enough
for all practical purposes:
"You remark that when the convention was
entered into at atMontereyyou entertained the hope
that the terms in which il was conceived would
open the way for the two republics to agree upon
an honorable peace. Laying out of the question
whether that convention was the result of neces-
sity or of the noble views now disclosed by you,
content myself with saying, that from the spirit
and decision manifested by all Mexicans, you
should Danish all idea of peace while single
North American inarms reads upon the territory
of this republic and there remains in front of its
ports the squadrons which make war upon them.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.-The Washington
"Union," of the 10Th inst. contains the following
important item. Alter some fifteen months de-
lay the Supreme Court of Virginia have dischar-
ged the three citizens of Ohio, kidnapped by Vir-
ginians, and imprisoned in the Parkersburgh Jail.
1t now remains to be seen what course the Exec
utiye of Ohio shall adopt in the premises. The
Supreme Court of Virginia having decided that
the Ohioans have committed no offence against
that State, the preext offered by the Governor of
Virginia, for not complying with the requisiton
of the Governor of Ohio, must prove abortiye,
and, we know no just reason why the kidnappers
should not be delivered up, to be tried by the
laws they have abused and violated:
"The General Court yesterday, gave deci-
sion in the case of the citizens of Ohio, who
were arrested for kidnapping slaves from Virgin
ia, at Parkersburgh, in Wood county. A major
ity of the Court decided that the prisoners should
be discharged, upon the ground that the offence
charged did not occur within the jurisdiction of
Virginia-that jurisdiction extending no further
than the western bank of the Ohio river, at lo,C
1cater mark"

CONTEMPLATED ATTACK on VERA CRUz.-The
Washington Fountain says that it seems to be
well understood by those who are in the way Of
correct information, that descent upon Vera
Cruz from the rear has been decided upon by the
Government. The plan of operation is to con-
centrate our forces at the mouth of the Antigua
river that empiies into the Gulf short distancet to
the North of Vera Cruz, and to ascend it to where
the high road from Vera Cruz to Jalapa crosses
that stream. From that point, III is stated, the av.
enues to Vera Cruz can be fully commanded and
the investment of the town be made with a cer-
tainty of itsspeedy fall. With the town it is be.
lieved, will go to the Castle of D'Uloa.
That such is the design of the Government is
likewise inferred from the movement of things
The departure of Gen. Scoot, for Tampico, the
of Gen. Taylor upon that town, the
abandonment Of the march to San Louis Potosi,
the garrisoning ofSalGlo by our troops, the rap
id preparation ofso large number of barges of
light draft for the transportation Of troops, the
Of stores and arms in such abundance

CoNGREss.-At our latest dates from Washing.
ton, both Houses of Congress were engaged in
discussing the demsrits of the Presidents Mes
sage. The discussion, in the House of Repe-
sentativcs, originated upon the introduction of
neutrality-suspicious., by the Hon. Garret Davis:
"ReSolred, That the President communicate
TO this House any and all orders or instructions to
General Taylor, General Wool, General Kear-
ney, Captain Soat, Captain Stockton, or any 9TH
er officer Of the Government, in relation to the
establishment or organization of civil govern
ment in any portion of the territory of Mexico
which has or might be taken possession of by
the army or navy of the United States; also,
what forms of Government such officers, or Ell
ther of them, may have established and organi-
zed, and whether the President has approved
and recognized said Governments"
This resolution has been resisted by the adhe-
rents of the Administration, and at our last dates
was not yet disposed Of Wemay hereafter pub
lish a sketch of the debate upon the resolution.
In the Senate spirited debate sprung up on a
motion to refer the Presidents Message to appro-
pirate committees. This, we believe, to be the
sum total Of the business transacted by Congress
since its first meeting, nearly three weeks ago.

IL is asserted that the most cordial good feel.
ing exists between Gen. Scott and Gen. Taylor,
and that it is the express wish Of the LATER that
Gen. Scott should take the command Of the ar.

dered the War Department the most efficient
services in the conduct of the war-the lines OF
march, the apponionment of the troops, the
points Of attack, &c. He goes to Mexico, it is
said, with a carte blanche from the Adminstra.

doPted it, concerning future operation.-Charles-
