We should be obliged to the Louisville Democrat for
copy OF work lately published in its city II is an &C
count OF the adventures of Mr. Donovan extending 10
several hundred pages. The author was clerk OF a
steamboat which piled on the Rio Grande in 1916. One
day, he and brother printer Ia Mr. Cunningham while
rambling deerhunt in the country were surrounded
and made prisoners by troop Of ancers Instead OF be-
ing put to DEATH as was at first proposed they were car
ed to Valladod and sold Thence thew were taken to
San Luis de Poos and off under the orders of Santa
Anna, and sold on the way to the publisher of "El
Republican," The ignorance of the editor whose lucu-
braons they were employed to give to the world RI
diculous enough He often piled them with silly ques-
tons about the United States The extract below will
show not only hs stupidity, but the effect Of the opposi
ton to the in Mexico
"But the most difficult matter of comprehension to the
editor was, how wing generals should be placed at the
head OF the American army, while the administration
was opposed to the wings; and when Corwn's speech
against the received through Ell Monitor from the
city of Mexico, we asked if Senior Corwn would
not raise company of volunteers, pronuncia
ento, and attack the President The editor was delight
ed with the speech, and repubshed it, by inserting some
two columns daily. He esteemed Senior Corwin as far
superior to Senior Polk in sagacity and eloquence But
poor fellow, ne knows but little of the enlightened state
of parties in this country, where officials abuse each
other with IMMUNITY, and where greater revolutions have
been consumnated by the pen, than were accom-
plished by the sword"
G"Mr Cunningham found an interested friend-more
than rendin beautiful senorta, the daughter of his
employer He became, in short, enamored of her. and
she of him. Donovan found himself alone, and one
night let himself down by rope to the street, gave his
employer leg ball. and after various hardshps and adven
lures, made his way home."l
Thus we have another witness from that country of
the consequence attached in Mexico the denuncatons
by the wing leaders of the war, and of the mschievous
impression which they produce If American trans
laor could obtain regular file of the Mexican journals,
have no hesitation in predicting that they would be
found teeming with extracts from the National ntell-
gencer and from the speeches of the wing leaders.
