Santa Anna, Lew. Wallace and Cort,nas.

The following is extracted from a letter from
Matamoras
"Poor Santa Anna seems to have no friends in
Mexico. Every where in the Liberal army he is
regarded as a dangerous traitor. and among the
friends of the mperaists he is looked upon with
distru,t: "is 5 ma Anna sill the pet of the New
York Herald ?" inquired Caravaiai of me. Re-
plying that was not informed when the period
of his adoption by that journal would expire, !
took the occasion to say, General, what is his
exact relation TO Mexican politics at present p
Santa Anna is dead duck, sr,' was his reply.
with an emphasis that did not guise his feel
ings in the matter.
Gen. Lew Wallace has commission as Mai.
General and next in command to Caravaal in
the Liberal army Of TamauIipas. The following
are some of the Americans Of whom | have
| learned: Col. Ford, formerly commanding the
Confederate forces at Brownsville, is now q Brig
adler General in Escobado's army. F. M. Phelps,
formerly of WrIghps construction corps, u. S. A.
is now Major on Caravajal's staff. 6. H. Hol-
lister. late Captain U. s. A., Is filling an appoint
ment with the rank of colonel. Geo. Miller, late
Captain in the ooh Wisconsin, holds commss ion
here as a Captain. Lieut. Brismadp, formerly of
the Washington artillery, Confederate service, Is
Captain on Caravajal's staff. Capt Caravaial
son of the General and on his staff, can almost be
claimed as an America a, he having resided eight
years in the United States, and received his edu.
cation there.
CortlnaS is located with his command about /;
miles from Matamoras. He is the same fahes
and lawless bandit as ever-'he chief of his elias
on the border. No oath is binding with him, anc
no party can claim or hold him long at time.
should not be surprised if he should avail himsel
Of that peculiar Mexican liberty called pro
nouncing' again, just as soon as he may regard hi
force as united and strong enough 10 capture somt
town or city. His influence over the lower elias
ses is peculiarly powerful. He seems TO hold owe
them strange fascination, which links them IN
dissolubly to his fortunes, whatever he may at
tempt. He is the most dangerous man on all tn
bor"er, and his followers cannot be estranged from
him. An instance of this strange infotuation wa
recently exhibited in the execution by his order
: OF two OF his own men. They We're led out to b.
shot, and, barring their bosoms 10 the bullets of tn
executioners, shouted SILVA la Cortinas Viva i
Cortinas !" till they fell and expired.

The 0meo.

. In his speech at Philadelphia, referring TO The
subject of removals from Office, the Presiden
said
"There is much talk about men being put ont o
office. The clamor is that somebody is turned
out, and somebody put in. The reason for this II
the desire 10 pei petuate themselves in power, ant
say 10 you, the people who fought the battles ant
exposed themselves TO the dangers, while they re-
manned safe at home, that they must not be turned
out and somebody else appointed. Is that goot
old doctrine OF rotation in Office forgottenP Are
not other persons than those who are now in Office
10 participate in the conduct Of the Government
Are they 10 have the power ard attempt 10 exer
else il as unrelentingly as tyrants themselvesp
say then to you, come up 10 the work and the ty'
rants rod can be bent and broken. ! repeat tina
the Government is in your hands, and have al
ways been and am still willing TO trust it to tn
people,"

The most intense excitement was created al
Petersburg, Va, lately among the colored popula-
ton last evening, that has been known to oc-
cur in that city. The ceremony of presenting q
corner stone 10 the congregation of the Harrison
Street African Church, for their new church, by
the "Golden Key Club" had collected in the old
building used by them, between five and six hun
dred persons. The capacity of the building was
strained to its utmost, every part being filed The
galleries, especially, were crowded. The exer.
cises had commenced, and prayer and singing
were concluded, when the society marched in and
were seated in the body of the church. At this mo.
ment woman excited by the sound OF bench
cracking, cried out that the gallery was giving
way. The alarm produced an instantaneous panic
Men, women and children, IN The galleries ant
in the body Of the church, rushed 10 the doors
and windows, and amid shouts and shreks ant
screams, tumbled and leaped out, presenting
scene of the most awful excitement and conster
Lation. Women were seen dropping from the
windows, and women and children especially
Jared badly in the rush through the doors, SOM
hiteen or twenty being thrown to the ground anC
tramPled under foot.

The President on his way 10 Chicago.

The President left Washington OIL Tuesday, on
his tour TO Chicago to attend the laying Of the
corner stone of the Douglas Monument
All along his route, he was met by delega-
tons Of the people and societies with demons,ra-
tons Of honor. AT Baltimore, he made brief
speech, and at Philadelphia grand ovation await
ed him at the depot an address was delivered on
the platform, to which Mr.. johnson replied af-
ter which h e was escorted 10 the Continental Ho-

Here he appeared on the balcony and made quite
q lengthy speech, in the course of which he said
81 trust the day is not far distant when no hand
OF our country shall be arrayed in battle against
another. 1 trust the day is far distant when
brother shall be set against brother, and shall raise
his hand against his throat. trust that the day
IS far distant when the land We love shall be
again drenched with brothers blood the bale

the benigpant star of peace has taken its place and
under its influence trust the country will return
10 affection, peace and harmony, that reconcilia'
tion will again be brought about and all be en-
abled 10 stand together one people in ONT
Union. So far as regards the part have taken il
political affairs, my public acts are already be-
fore the country and it is from them You mus
Judge. Believing as do that the policy have
pursued has been calculated to advance and pro-
mote the best interests Of the country, God beinf
my helper, Intend to stand by it, and with YOU
help and God willing, this Union shall be restored
Then LET US stand together. Let US opproch a CON-
mon platform. Let us forget we have been divi-
ded in parties, and forget to obey the behests Of
party rather than the command of the con- t y.
Let your country be saved. Let the interests of
the great masses of the people be preserved. Then
let parties sink into insignifcance. If party
must be maintained, lei be based on the great
principles of the Constitution. Yes, the Consti-
tuition Of my country is the strongest league which

BoLD RoBBERY.-Five men rode up to the store
of Messrs. Boron & Elston, situated near the
centre Of Cooper county and twelve miles south
east of Boonville, Just before dark on Tuesday, the
2lst inst One Of the proprietors was engaged in
painting the rear of the house, and the other in the
store. Three of the FIVE men who rode up entered
the store, and one of Them made small purchase
giving the storekeeper a bill 10 change. As he
revolver at him, demanding his money. They
took one hundred and fifty dollars in money, and
about two hundred dollars worth of ready-made
clothing. The five men remouned their horses.
and seeing horse htched 10 the fence, look it of
also. The whole thing was managed so systemat-
ically, that the partner Of the store, painting on
the outside Of the house, was not apprized of what
was going on until after they had departed. The
horse taken by them was turned loose after they
had taken it mile or so. The object in taking
the horse appears 10 have been 10 prevent immed-
ate alarm and pursuit. Boonville Advertiser,

LETTER FROM ST. LOUIS.

Amour Poll TIcs-ST. LOUIS ALL RIGHT ron
THE FALL ELEcTIoS-THE CHoLERA-WHo
DIE, AND WHy-Sr. LOUIS AND CHICAGO
The SOUTHERN FAIR.
ST. LOUIS, August %, 1866.
Mr.. Editor. Your subscribers in this city read
with pleasure the wholesome truths put forth
through your columns. II is hoped you Corser-
vatves in the country will turn out 10 man at
the fall election, and assist in oustng the Radical
usurpers We of ST. Louis intend TO be registered
at all hazards, and will carry OUR county for the
Anti Radical ticket by 5000 majority. Now, it
is your duty 10 second our efforts by doing the
same in your district and think your valuable
paper will keep your readers awake TO the impor.
lance of doing so, by showing them that Radical
ism, should it be successful, would be the ruin Of
the country.
But enough of politics just now. Let's talk of
the all-absorbiny topic--Cholera. Well it is
"playing fits" in ST. Louis, no mistake but there
is little or no danger to those who are clearly in
their habits and careful in their diet There are,
however,, great many who Crush on" in their
"fast" ways, without regard 10 diet or habits till
| they are attacked with the disease, when, from
being very brave ~ and declaring they "don't
care for the cholera" they turn out 10 be great

about as fatal the disease isef,) their cases are
very difficult TO manage. II is such as these thai
are swelling the lists of mortality Persons Of
regular habits are very rarely attacked. Trade in
st. Louis--in consequence OF the epidemic.
comparatively stopped and (thonks to our Chi
cago neighbors of the press,) our misfortune ha:
been magnifed to such an extent that much oi
our legitimate trade is being diverted from us. ST
Louis merchants, however, feel that honesty ant
fair dealing will prevail against the notorious shut
, fling of Chicago sharps, and are confident of no
, losing, permanently, any valuable trade. Coun
try merchants, who know our business men, wi
not willingly exchange ST. Louis for Chicago.
, OF course your people know that the ladies G
st. Louis, assisted by those of the State at large
, are preparing for Great Fair for the benefit G
The destitute Of the SOUTH and must tell you tina
| we look TO your county TO exhibit its wonted lib
erality in furtherance of this grand scheme G
q charity. The fair commences on the 25th Of Ser
q TENDER, and the preparations indicate it will
the most magnificent affair of the kind ever gotte
# up in this country. Remember, it is not city
but State, enterprise, in which all Missouriar
T., are equally interested. A great many auxiliar
fairs have been and are being held with great sue
cess; and it is proposed that the fair In Septembc

UThat I Have Never,

The devil is q good lawyer. So is Charles d.
Drake. Without intending to be profane, we may
say il takes devilish good lawyer TO beat Charles
d. in managing a case or making constitution.
But we have no doubt that if The devil had made
the Constitution Of Missouri, he would have made
a better one for Drake's purposes than Drake
himself turned off because the devil is not as
mean as Drake, and would not have gone too far
as Drake did--in the matter of the tes-oath.
When Drake inserted, IN his symmetrical third
section, the clause which requires men TO say, in
the magnificent oath, ''ihat have never" in the
language of Sut Lovegood, "rIght thar's whar he
overdone the thing" 1t is hardly necessary 10
cay that the writer Of this is not lawyer; yet we
know there is little clause in the United States
Constitution which prohibits the passage of er posi-
.rdeto or retrospective laws, and we know how hard
Drake Gin the Convention) wriggled and squrmed
in efforts to overcome the restraints Of this little
clause in order that Constitution might be made
that would drive every ''sympathser" from the
State. This reptile, called the "thrd section," j.
the result of Brakes wrigglIng. He thought tina
by making men swear now that they did not com
NIT a certain crime before The Constitution ,ra
adopted, would merge the crime in the swearing
and bring the person swearing within the opera
ton Of the Constitution. But (alas for Drakc'
reputation y judges of the law-those calm, dig
nified gentlemen, who breathe higher atmosphere
than Drake can ever taste-pronounce the oath
10 be retrospective in its operations as it is in the
very wording OF it. vide Judge Burckhart's de.
cision at Macon City on the goth inst, where the
indie tments in fifty cases-the charges being the
violation Of this oath--were 9uashed on this
ground. brakes fame as lawyer-as il is as a
man--is fast getting to be infamy. Drake is a
good lawyer, like "Brsg is good dog"
