PRACTICAL JOKE OF AN INDIANA cores
pendent Of the Detroit Enquirer, in speaking of
the Indians, says: IS Some of these Indians are
given q trader some annoyance, WAS told in case
he was seen again with bottle, it would be ta-
ken from him and thrown into the FIRE. A few
days after, the Indian appeared with his pint
flask in his blanket, as usual. but the trader
WAS as good as his word, and demanded the bot
tie, which the Indian gave up and started for
the door. The trader threw the flask into the
stove, and out came the windows, the trader fol-
loving close behind. The next time that man
burns whisky bottle he will examine il to see
that ii is not Of Dupont's make.

The report was terrific, and seemed as if half
o dozen cannon had been discharged together.
The engine was thrown from the track, q COM

an embankment The cars were also both
thrown from the track, and 80 great was their
velocity that they proceeded over the sleepers
more than hundred yards before their impetus

KANSAS. - The telegraph announces that
Reeder has been removed from the Goyernorship
of Kansas, and that John L. Dawson, of Penn
sylvania, has been appointed in his place.
We do not know who this Mr.. Dawson is,
but one thing is very certain-he cannot be
q more pestilent Abolitionist, or more
unscrupulous trader in politics, and morals,
than the person removed. 1t is quite likely
he is Free Soiler of the rankest sort, as the
Pirece administration have shown an unmis.
taxable proclivity towards such appointments,
ever since the work Of decapitating the national
Democrats of New York commenced some two
years since.
AT all events, there is one consolation Daw-
son cannot be worse enemy of the South than
this man Reeder has been. He cannot work
against our interests with greater zeal He
cannot seek to destroy our constitutional rights
with more unrelenting energy and fxedness Of
purpose And, as we cannot be worse off, no
matter what manner of man he is, perhaps we
ought to be grateful to the authorities for re-
moving his predecessor. As matters stand, we
are independent of the frying-pan and fire con-
tingencies We were subjected to the pains Of
both under Reeder's government.
JEFF. Davis said Reeder ought to have been re-
moved the day after he was appointed. Yet he
was continued in office to work injury and mis-
chief to us of the South, by an administration
that claims to be oar especial friends! Verify
modesty is great virtue

an increase Of the fever. This We take to bs a
favorable omen. Under the circumstances we

mortuary statistics of the passing week show a
decrease, of which we have strong hopes, the
fact will be evident to our mind shat the crisis
has passed. and that the causes for alarm have
necessarily gone out Of existence M
The month just passed has been characterized
BY weather more resembling that of April than
Of July, with the exception Of intense heats. IT

Hence We augur an early restoration Of the
general health. Whether our antioipations are
verified or not, We always like to look on the
sunny side Of things.

These are few Of the leading principles Of
the American party which is stigmatised as
having been g conceived in fasehood and nonr-
ished in deceit God grant the nation many
millions of such deceivers and falsifers But
for the principles and deeds Of the fathers Of
these falsifers and deoeivers, the United States
would now be British colony, ruled over by
imperially appointed viceroys We think ii
quite likely the Anti Americans regret such is
not the case,
Aword or two now, in regard to the speech
of Mr. Wickliffe, endorsed and defended by our
amiable contemporary. Mr.. W. said in his speech,
that the American party "eame Ike thief
IN the dark." Very handsome and compliment
tary language to use, to be sure, IL was espe-
cially becoming in an American speaker, under
an American sky, in an American city, and be-
fore an American audience, to employ such Ian
guage We can tell Mr. Wiekliffe and all his
| supporters, that large majority Of the native
| boFn within the hearing of his voice, or upon
Canal street, belonged and now belong TO, the
| party he seemed delighted in opprobriously
stigmatising! Well, if the party did come
thieyishly and clandestinely, and if all the
members belonging to it are thieves, the State of
Louisiana can boast of more scoundrels in pro
portion to population, than any other common
wealth upon the surface of the globe. That is
all VIC have to say in regard to the particular
point involved. ss
So much for the two gentlemen whose speeches
have been deliberately defended by the Cou-
| rier. We do not consider that the defence
has battered their condition Further than
they were immediately concerned, the article o.
the Courier did not require any response. W.
may, however, should other business permit
refer to paragraph or two hereafter.
