Point Isabel Post OGce.--Ws are IT,
formed that Mr.. Henry ]. Levy, the pest
Office agent at Point Isabel, meets with,
great difficulty in the distribution of the
mails for the army, owing TO the neglect
OF the writers to state on the address the
names of the various Regiments TO which
their correspondents are attached. In
this way letters may not unfrequenty es-
cape their destinations, as it is quite i'm,
possible to diviae whether they are to be
dispatched to Fort Brown, Matamoras, or
Barita. Those who have friends in the
army, would do well to bear this in mind,
Some idea may be formed OF lhe great

HANCOCK NOMINATION.

The Democracy of Hancock comfy met in
convention, July 4th, 1916, and proceeded to
nominate ticket Estate and county offices)
for this fall election. 1t will be remembered
that for sometimes past, great division ex-
listed IN the democratic ranks, causing defeat
of the whole party. From the proc eedings
the meeting on the fourth, we think all the
quarreling is now ended--the party perfectly
harmonized and whiggery doomed to de-
feat, such an one as she has not witnessed in
that county for long time.
The prospects for the democracy, are grow
ing brighter every day; and now in place of
hearing division the glorious union and har-
mony pass along the line. The whig party
only feels safe when the democrscy is divid-
ed, and present appearances cause them to
fear that a division is not likely to take place,
in which situation they feel confident that de-
feat to their party is certain.

FEDERAL promises.

"A crisis seems 10 have arrived, in HE
affairs of whiggery particularly as far as
concerns the tendency Of lis measures.
There never has been time ia which a
more striking commentary upon that party
could be presented The demonstrations
of The fslsity Of whig promites, aud the ~ :
ranny and injustice Of whig measures, seem
70 have presented themselves simullane
ously; and thus, willie the people are left
toreap the bitter fruits Of a system by
which they are reduced 10 the condition OF
yassals, in all but the name, they can al
least profit by their experience. aud learn
to guard against repetition Of the evils
What principle has been professed by the
wlig leaders Of this state, that has not been
violated! what pledge given, that has not
been betrayed! They promised to tighten
she bur,hens of the people, by reducing
the salaries of office holders, and intro
ducmg a general slstem Of retrenchnent
No sooner had they secured the majority
ia both branches Of the Legislature, thau
they abused their power By largely ihcreas
ing The salary OF every whig olllce.holdeI
In their power, and at the same time put
tie people under contribution to pay the
difference, and to sustain their other ini'
qni,ons schemes. They promised 10 fur
Uish system Of backlog which woulc
make money plenty, and lhluse health and
vigor into all the departments of trade
AS tbis promise was one that could not
possibly be fulfilled through tie agency
Of any system Of banking their hypocrisy
is he only thing, in this connection, de-
serving attention. None knew better than
those who made such promises, he ute,

were promIsiug what they very well knew

could effect, for the experience Of lie past
had shown the fallacy OF trusting to rot
ten and unstable system, to produce the
natural effects Of a sound one.
The ensuing election is one that promis-
es more auspicious results than any one in
which the people of Ohio have ever been
called upon to engage. While the wide
spread indignation of the people, against
the unequal aud oppressive enactments Of
federalism, argues success to our cause,
the upholders of bank plunder must bring
their system with them in their fall 1t
will thus be strapged almost in its very
birth--a consumption devoully TO be wish

BY late arrival from the scene Of ac-
ton, we are in receipt of the following
news. General Taylor and most of the
army are encamped quietly within 4OO
yards of, Matanoras; the Inhabitants are
coming in fast, and are trading With the
troops, without the slightest fearof being
moiestei or injured; they seem, in fact, j,
to be more satisfied with the present state
of Affairs, than when they were protected
by their own troops. An advance guard, (,
consisting Of the lst regiment of infantry
and abont 500 volunteers from Louisiana, 1,
have advanced as far as Carnage, which
place they have TAX en- possession of, and
as soon as reinforced, intend advancing
still further. Carnage is ab out 100 miles
beyond Matamoras. The Mexlcans pro-
posed an armistice for ifte n days, but
Odd Rough and Ready answered by say
ing that he could not grantit yithout fur
ther advices from. Washington. 1t was
rumored that the Mexican army was re.
assembling in great numbers in the inte-
rior. The American army was in fne
spirits, and eager for battle. Volunteers
were arriving at Pom. lsabe in large
numbers. The steamship Alabamaarriv-
ed here TO day from New Orle aus with
two companies Of l6O men from Tennes'
see, aud cargo Of government supplies,
intended for troops on the FIRMLY river.
Col. - arri, ed here yesterday from
Point Isabel, for the purpose OF raising
four extra companies of gu men each, he
being sent here by General Taylor for that
purpose. The old war horse has some
movement in view, to send here for fresh
troops. Success attend his army.

THE CAMPAIGN.

The campaign Is now about opening and
every nan who feels any interest IN the wei
fare Of his country, must feel somewhat IN
terested in the result Of the election now ap-
proaching; therefore, the news of the day
will be more or less interesting and desirable
to all; and as this is The case, to put it in the
power Of the citizens of Wyandot and sur
rounding country to get the news, the Demo-
cratic Pioneer will be issued at the VERY
Low RATE OF FIFTY CENTS I'LL after
the fail election. No subscription received
without the money accompanying it.
We ask it as favor, that every Democrat
exert himself freely in our behalf in getting
subscribers and sending in Immediately. The
price " i'll certainly put it within the reach of
all to take the paper.
The Pioneer will be as it ever has been,
Democratic, and the principles which govern
the Democratic party are the principles that
will be vindicated through its columns, believ-
ing the happiness of man and the prosperity
of our country rest upon these principles.
The news will not merely consist of poll
tics, but also of war, miscellany and other
important matter, always the latest possible.
We will endeavor to make our paper interest
ing and worthy liberal patronage.

From the Houston (rexas) Telegraph.
We learn from gentleman who recent,
~ arrived from Austin, that large party
oi Camanches, belonging TO Santa Ana's
band lately made foray into The Mexi-
can settlements, above Laredo, captures
large amount of specie, and about 5OU
horses, aud killed several Mextcaus The
Mexlcans, IL appears, were quite unpre
pared to resist them; as most OF tue troups
mad been Withdrawn TO attack the Amer
lcau army, near Matamoras These Iu-
dians stated that they captured several
boxes, filled with money; and from their
description Of the boxes, il is probable
ltat they contained 1000 or 5000. Ii
is not improbable that they iotetcepted
some party OF traders lhat WIS on Tue " way
to Bexar, or Corpas Christi.
We understand that Col 'IIarney in
tends to march, in few days, With the
troops now stationed at Bexar, TO JOIN
the army under General Taylor. Three
companies of Dragons, aud the company
Of rangers from Austin, viii probably ac-
company. The indians on the frontler
are now so pacific that military force is
