We have news from Brazos Santiago to the

Orleans with seven companies Of troops.
General Minon had written Il strong manifesto
against Santa Anna charging him with cowardice.
Minou declares that the assertion by Santa
Anna, Of the want Of provisions and water in the
Army, is lulsehood. lie states that he himself
had calllo to the number Of GOO head, besides
maize and flour of which he apprized Santa Anna.
lie further asserted that the atlsr's retreat was

so-movng off in the darkness Of the night, and
leaving hundreds of his poor wounded soldiers
to their fate on the feld-more like q fugitive
hiding from his enemy, than Il General retiring
to recruit his forces. 1t was TO prevent these
facts from being made public that he, General
Minon was persccued imprisoned and denied
communication with his friends.
The Mexican popuace are furious against their
lately idoized General, and two days after Santa
Anna entered the city, he was received by the
rabbe with indignant cries of "dealh to Santa
Anna" "hc sells us 10 the Yankees" and voIleys
OF stones in all directions. The Genera-in-
chief made his way to the National Palace with
all convenient speed, and the guards were doubled
to prevent more dangerous outbreaks.

SCOTS proclamation. Now that they do not cal

MUsKINGUM CoUNTY.-Ours is a rich county

circulation, and remaining in the pockets of the

Of this let US refer 10 The last wheat crop and the
sales of its surplus The entire growth of The
county was, say $40 600 bushels. The popula-
aon numbers about 49, GOO. Allowing, for con.
sumption, five bushels 10 each mouth, and 100,-
600 bushels more for seed, and we have 100000
to deduct from the gross amount. This leaves
$4,000 bushels for The salcabIe surplus, much
the greater part of which has already been mar
keted. This amount, al 65 cents, which is about
the fair average of price, certainly not 100 much,
would yield 1921 900, as the clear proceeds Of
the wheat of 1916 in Muskngum county. Add
to this the large amounts Tor cora, oats, wool,
bacon, pork, tobacco, &C., and our readers can
form loerably correct idea Of the value of that
stream of wealth which has enriched our agri.
