0T The Cincinnati Atlas holds the follow
ing cheering language in relation to the wing
prospects in Ohio:
Every paper that reaches our office, from the
interior of the State, brings the most cheering
accounts ofthe wing prospects throughout Ohio,
particularly SO from the Western Reserve. All
along the whole line from here to the lake, the
widest enthusiasm prevails. The aroor OF H.
40 is blazing out, and ere November comes, a
conffagration will ensue, which will DESTROY
the Locofoco and free soil factions We are l.
formed By gentleman, member of the wing
State central committee at Columbus, w no has
recently traversed large portion of Ohio, that
the utmost harmony prevails among the wings.
aud that the same glorious results that crow ned
the efforts OF the wings in 1910 will perch up
on their standard in 1913 Gen. Taylor's
sound good sense--his excellent Judgment
his great mercy in the hour of triumph-his
lndomitable prowess in the field-are appreci-
ated by the wings. And they are ready and
anxious TO testify their regard for him at the
ballot-box; and they hail the approach of the
time when he will drive back and put to flight
the cohorts of Locofocoism and free-soilism
and all other isms, as be did the Mexcans al
PaIo Alto and Buena Vista.
The skies are Frightening thing is
cheering; and as certain as the 4th of March
1919, shall arrive, will Gen. Zachary TAYLOR
take up his residence in the White House, and
purge the government of its dark, deep corrup-
ton, which has been accommodating for years
under Locofoco misrule and Locofoco pecula.

GEN. CAss' ABUSE OF VOLUNTEERS
whole Of the Locofoco Press in this Stale,
are denouncing Gen. Taylor because he con.
Cured with Gems. Wool and Lane in saying
that the second Indiana Regiment reireated
at the battle of Buena Vista. lf this be a
good argument agains, Gen. Taylor, il will
apply with much more force against Gen
Cass, because he represented to the War De
partment in 1914, that twenty-five hundred
or three thousand militia, called out TO de
tend Buffalo, sail, except very few oflhem
behaved in the most cowardly manner, and
fled without firing muskei." This is the
manner in which Gen. Cass spoke OF the
brave volunteers Of the country at that time.
What will Locofocoism say to that? Let
them deny it il they dare, and we will prove
it by documents that cannot be disputed.

case and pass sentence. The proofs were
most conclusive, and The prisoner was al

was measured, his grave marked out, and
he himself set 10 work digging it. When
the grave was finished, rifle was placed in
the hands of the murdered Indians son for

| Texas MINEs.-An old mine, supposed to
have been formerly worked by the Spaniards,
has been discovered on the upper Nuecess

good deal of labor had once been expended
there. On opening the shaft, however, it
