Us- The Journal il fond of shooting little
squibs at the editor OF this paper, on account
of his being young man. The Democratic
party tries man by his acts aud his princi-
Piles, aud does not make estimation depend
on age. Such arguments show that the ed-
tor of the Journal is very youngin intelli-
gence-taey are unworthy reply Eng.
This is the first time we were aware that
we had ever squibbed about the editor of the
Enquirer's youth. We have never given him
The benefit of the "baby act" although he
seems DESTROYS of pleading it on his own be-
lhalf. Candidy, we think he writes very
well for young man. He will write no
better Ten years hence, but the additional ex-
perience of that length of time, will We hope,
make him regard some Of his positions and
efforts of this period as among the "follies OF
YOUTH" We do not recolect ever to
have alluded to this infant phenomenon's
age, except when he saw fit in his presump
ton, to call an old Democrat "rcnegade.'
We remarked then in substance it i'll be
came a young man like him, and one wht
had not been in the State year, to call ar
lid Democrat, who for the last fifteen years
had been leader in his party in India Ia
; and had probably done more for that party
support and advancement, than any oihe
Democrat in the State, renegade. Tia
was the manner in which we alluded to hi
youth.
: We hope he Is not so young but wha, hi
: considers himself a responsible being. If n
! is too young for that, we shall hand him owe

i the "baby act." by telling the good people o
{ his youth-for he has made this charg
d against US simply to afford himstlf that op
n portunity. ..,.

movcments Concerning Gu ba.

The National IntslL9encer Of the 29th says.
The signs Of the times indicate great and
important events iD embryo. In March last
the Pres dent sent documents relating to the
Spanish difficulty to the House Of Represen-
tatives, accompanied by message asking
for enlarged powers to redress grievances.
The documents and message have since rest
ed queietly with the Committee on Foreign
A fairs, that body finding nothing in the pa
pers to justify hasty legislation or any thing
that could no. easily be ranged by negotia,
ton.
The recent movement Of Mr. Singleton to
call upon the President for information, and
that of Mr.. Birksdaie for All appropriation
of ten millions of dollars, to be placed at the
disposal of the President. Is thought to bt
part Of a plan to get another war message AM
place the President in position TO negotiat
for or seize Cuba, as circumstances nigh
dictate.
The late period of presenting these resolu
tons by the friends OF the President, whe
the House is on the eve OF adjournment an
hurried with business, is looked upon wit
surprise as intended TO spring trap OF som
kind at the close Of the session. the cours
. of the House shows that body has moderate
in tone in Spanish matters, and exhibits d.
, cided conservatism in Cuban affairs.

Charles Putnam. one Of the most thorough

tanning twelve acres. The wheat was sown
in drills, and Eve or six men, each row with q

The Location in Davies.

Mr.. Carpenter has just been making VS.
It to Washington, Davies county. ne
writes us from there that the Straight Line
Railroad is now located through that county.
He has purchased three hundred and sixty
acres for about eight thousand dollars, three
miles east of Washington. for the benent OF
the company. The crossing Of the Ohio q
Mississippi railroad has been made at the
most favorable point. Mr.. Carpenter has
gone to Terre Hau,e By Canal, thence to In
dianapolis and on to the Eastern cities. he
promises to let US know promptly IT thus roaa
is compelled to stop for want Of funds or en-
cient officers! We hope he will.
We are informed by an old and respected
citizen OF Dsviess county, that we nave en-
tirely Inexperienced the feeling OF the c'.''
zens of that county on the subject OF 'he
Strait Line Railroad. The great majority
of those citizens do not wan, the road locat'
ed through Washington, and the citizens o
Washington are alone in desiring this SO very
particularly. Washington is situated IN INT
corner mr. extreme Western side ofthe coun
10 and far distant from the centre. Th'
people of the county want the road run a
near the centre as possible. The location
the road is probably three miles east Q
Washington. 1t would please the majorit
of the citizens to have it still further east, Q
$1,000. ,ha co,tro Of the countv. There la
already been some talk Of removing tn
county seat from Washington to some MGR
central point. Probably the citizens OF thu
place { ar, that il the road 10 not run throug
Washin gton, the road will build up anoth'
town, nearer the centre of the county,
A which the county seat will be removed; an
/ probably this has much to do with their pr
sent bitter enmity to the great enterprise.

TUESDAY MORNING ,::::::::::::::::AUG. {
Getting Desperate.


s..rcs,v an administration Democratic
pauer comes to hand nowadays, from any
portion Of the State, but its columns TEEN
with the rankest kind Of abuse and denun'
citation, of everybody who is conceived to oc'
cuov an antagonistic position to the Princi'
cioles and tickle, recently put forth by the
democratic convention Of the 26th of May,
A catalogue of opprobrious epithets has
been coined by John L. Robinson and others
of his ilk, to be applied without mercy or re-
serve to all classes who dare oppose the
edicts of that convention.
This Is a bold and desperate attempt at the
"whiPping-in". process, which. however well
1t may have operated hitherto, to subserve
the ends of that party seems now to have
host of obstacles in the way, which utterly
defy the behests of the party lash. The
"rEoPLE" appear 20 have, in considerable
degree, assumed TO do for themselves, that
which they have allowed their party and lis
demagogues to do for them heretofore. AT
this movement, the cold line" administration
Democrats seem to fly in rage, and brand
everybody engaged in such an unlawful
calling as that of assuming TO think and act
for themselves, as "sore heads, piebalds,
itinerant vagabonds, disorga nizers," &c, &c.
This kind of Locofoco tactics has had its
day; it has answered successful purpose in
the Democratic ranks for lorg time, but the
PEOPLE have resolved 10 no longer submit to
the dictation of the party shack trivers,'
and take the reins Of the car of State in
their own hands. In nothing does the
cold line =" party betray so much weak
ness as in the uneasiness and desPera'
ton which its leaders manifest at The formi
dable show of opposition rayed against
them from all quarters. The Democratic
papers in the State feel most unmitigatet
adherence OF all movements of opposition
81 in the name Of THE PEOPLE. They fea
that the people are about to give them trou
BILE, and we believe their fears are wei
grounded. Their own fears and misgiving;
and gratituitous ebullitions of wrath, ex
hibit the consciousness OF guilt, and pain
full apprehensions of a speedy retribution.
1t is too evident to the administration den
ocracy. that "the people" are moving in
manner which threatens demagogues wit
political humiliation. The cormoran
have had their own way already longer, tina
they have proven profitable or faithful sc
wants of the public. The fear which the .
most absolute certainty of being ous,ed fro
power and place, arouses in the minds of Il
present Locofoco administration directors
Indiana, calls forth this wanton TRACE
abuse and denunciation as the last despera
death struggle in their desperate cause. L
coming campaign between the 26th of Ma
Pierce-and- Wright party and the people, pr
misses to be rich one, in which the WI
party can stand off and be amused, or "pit
in" az they see fit. Our sympaihies ma
ever been with "the people" and they sh
have our warmest sympathies in the emf
ment of their triumph in October next.

We publish below, the most important
documents transmitted by the President to
Congress, in relation to the destruction Of
Greytcwn, with the exception Of Capt. Hol.
lins' official report of the affair, which we
will publish to- morrow. We have already
published a statement of the facts, which
were materially correct:
From the N. Y. Herald.
The village was destroyed BY order Of the
Administration, because the authorities re-
fused. on the demand of Capt HolIins, of the
Cyane, to fork over some S24 600 indemnl-
ties FOR damages done to the Nicaragua Tram
sit Company, and for the scurvy manner in
which the said authorities had treated Major
Borland and the official functonaries and
people Of the United States generally.
The case now stands in this posture. The
Administration, without the advice or consent
OF Congress, send down ship of war upon
a hostile mission to San Juan. The captain,
under instructions, and in behalf of the uni
ted States, demands certain indemnities Of
the village (S24,OO0), which 1t ob-tinately
refuses 10 pay. The village is destroyed,
and the vessel okwar returns In the United
States without the Indemnity, after all. I'm.
fortunately, the question arises, who pays
the piper! Who toots up the bill of costs!
The act was an ac1 of war, without au.
thoriiy of law. The Villagers may therefore
rightfully demand indemnity of our govern
ment for the destruction Of their property; or,
il the Executive can nuke war, in spite of
the Constitution, he can seize md occupy
foreign places as well as destroy them
Why not, then, seize the town of San Juan,
lay taxes and collect the revenues of the port
until all considerations of indemnify were
salts fed.
| The House Of Representatives have now
the Official papers before them. They have
two important questions to settle: First,
the nnconstitutiona hty of the destruction of
San Juan, as an act CT war; second the
question of indemnity in reference to the
property destroyed. And the Senate will
have this important question to determine in
reference 10 negotiaiions for peace, fo-wit,
whether the attack upon San Juen was an
assault upon the King of the Mosquito coast,
| or the protectorate oil England, or upon a free
city, made such by the Intervention of the
United States. Upon the morality and morrl
courage ofthis act Of war we have here ofore
expressed our views. Regarding the views
OF the American people, one word will sui-
fee. They are Disguised. We look in vain
tor the destruction of n defenseless town, in
default of $4,000. either by Gen. Caravsjal,
Col. Walker. or the ruthless Apacbes. The
country will watch with interest the proceed
ings oil the House upon this subject.
