article in that leading Republican pa.

from the interrogatory that the Colo

The RaccOOn Navigator PuifeIh
Himself

The "Ilaccoon Navigator" occupies
about two columns Of the Journal OF
last week in praising himself and
blackguarding us. lie claims that
his real name is david Jones, Es.
ouire." Jones - Jones" Daria
Jones, ESQuire!" We believe we
have heard of that name beforcl lie
SAYS he was q member Of the Ohio
Legislature once and reported some
thing in regard to the navigation Of
Raccoon Creek, and that last Fall he
was Chairman OF the Vinton County
Republican Central Committee! He
says, furthermore, that he was doing
the State a great service when the ed
itor of the Democrat was "mewling
and puking in his nurses armsl"--
These highly Important facts prove
beyond cavil that David Jones, Is
Qpire, Raccoon Navigator, Ex- Mem
Der of the Ohio Legislature, Chair
man of the Republican Central Com
mittee, and editor, deJactO, Of the
Journal, is a very great man!
Really, we do not know how this
community would have progressed
without tho valuable services Of Da.
vid Jones, Esquire. What a dcarth
OF quarrels, deiamatory reports and
slander suits would have resulted from
his absence! How the quiet and
peaceably disposed citizens would
have mourned--and Raccoon Creek,
how much darker and muddler its
waters would have run, in very sad
ness for the loss Of Jones. Steam.
boats could never have assembled that
CLASSIC stream had not Jones made Ills
startling report! This region would
have been a wilderness but for Jones
navigation hobby and his novel propo,
sition to remove thv snagS! Allah is
great Jones lives--lives to refer to
his noble deeds--to remind the peo.
pie that he was once q member of the
assembled wisdom Of Ohio-to pub
,ish his astonishing ,eport and go
about the streets explaining it to the
wondering crowds--aad 70 sing his
own praises,

Tragedy ut Washington.

On Sunday last, Hon. Daniel f.
Sickles, Member Of Congress from n.
York City, shot and killed Philip Bar
ton Key, U. S, District Attorney for
the District of Columbia. The cause
of this tragedy is an alleged improper
intimacy between Key and Sickles'
wife. Mrs. Sickles is young and
handsome, and has been a rcigning
belle at Washington during the past
winter. Key is a brother of Hon.
Geo. ii. Pendloton's wife, and son of
the author of the Star Spangled

A FaIsIlOOd PrnXed,

The Republicans, IN the discussion
on the English Kansas Bill, declared
that the Democrats were willing that
a slave State should come into the
Union with forty or fifty thousand
people, but that they insisted on nine
ty or one hunered thousand for free
State. They charged the Democrats
with having one rule for freedom. and
another for slavery. Lately, howe,
er, the republicans insis. that the
Democrats have admitted the free
state of Oregon with only fifty thous-
and people. If their last charge is
true, it shows that their former one
that the Democracy were willing to
admit slave States with a small pop.
ulatiOn, but were unwilling to admit
free States unless they had the rep.
rcsenative ratio--was false. They
can take eli ther horn of the dilemma
they choose.

The New York Commercial .idcer-
tiSer states that novel scene was
witnessed in Hamilton avenue, Brook
lyn,on Monday evening, beinga grand
wedding arty-the groom a negro,
and the bride a young Irish girl. The
wedding party consisted Of seven ne
groes with their white wives. The
groom is a waiter on the steamer En-
pire City. THIS is the effective work,
ing ofthe TtbWng's system Of equali-
ty. Few persons can be found who
will not at once see that the effect OF
such amalgamation is not to elevate
tie negro race, but to degrade the
white. Let this policy progress for
awhile, and we will soon hear of rosy
checked Yankee girls--instead OF
young Irish girls-mated to sooty-vis.

Wont Answer,

The Macarthur journal, which, at
various times, has insinuated that
somebody wrote for us our editorials,
or controlled us in writing them, now
backs down by declaring that it "nev.
tr knew nor cared who wrote them"
thus completely stultiiying ITSELF
Ii it did not kno,e nor care, why was
the matter mentioned ! But, why
does it not answer our question: We
asked if the Raccoon Navigator wrote
a portion Of its editorials! 1t answers
not a word! What is the matter2--
Has the Journal become deaf! or
does it En0lc or ccye who writes its
editorials? From all we can learn,
the Raccoon NarigatOr is the princj;-
pal and McBeth the Sub editor.

a Cabinet, with LaTanzar as Minister

Minister of Finance and Castillo as
Minister Of War. Four thousand Lib

body at Morcelia. The PrOg,esSo Of
the 10th inst, states that the French
and English commanders notified the
Captain Of tue United States shlp,of-
war Saratoga that they should board
the Tennessee to see if any fillibusters
were on board. The Captain of the
Saratoga intimated that such thing
should not be done while the Saratoga
was near enough to prevent it. Tue
foreign ministers at the capital had
not recognized Miramon. The Eng
lish and French squadrons were in
hostile attitude before Vera Cruz, and
were tavoring Mramon. The Church
party will attack the city from the sea
while Miramon attacks from the land
