To the Editor Of the st. CrOix "AyiS."
Dear Sir,
Having again understood that o misun-
derstanding exists in The mind of the
public uiM respect to the payment Of losses
OccdSiOned by incendiariSm, I beg you
would in one Of your early numbers,
republish my letter Of 9TH July 1864 ".
Avis No. SIS of 9Th July 1864 on that
subject, its 3 first passages.
l may here state, that some of the
laboriug classes arc we'll aware of the
"Royal" paying such losses, as they have
been heard expressing themselves, when
passing some Of the houses in this town,
on which my fire marks are placed, that
the owners could not be injured by a fire,
being insured, and | am we'll aware, that
some of the planters who have insured
their estates in "the Royal" think the fire
marks on their Works a protection in
this respect.
Your obdt. Servt.,
E. MONEFELDT,
Agent.

So much is pressing upon Congress, that we do
not the propriety of consuming valuable time in
attempting to impeach the President. The move
ment would create great excitement not only in Con-
gress, but Throughout the country. The smoke and
dust of the commotion would be to the specu-
lators peculators and punderers of the
who could drive their arts with and impunity
Retrenchment the public debt, revision of the revenue
act, and the protection of the treasury against
calty, should engage the undivided attention of Con-
gress but these and other important questions would
not be half solved wisely considered amid such
an excitement as impeachment would occasion. Those
who might seek immense fortunes by legislative aid,
would be enabled to get almost anything they might
ask for, under such circumstances. Mr.. johnson is
not of sufficient consequence be the occasion of
such calanlties. He has already done his share in
damaging the public interests.-Terre Haute Express.

How to Become a Millionaire.

John McDonough, the millionaire of New Orleans,
has engraved upon his tomb series of maxims he
had prescribed the rule for his guidance through
life, and to which his success in business is mainly
attributed. They contain much wisdom that we
copy them:
RULES FOR THE GUIDANCE MY LIFE, 1840.-
Remember always that labor is of the conditions
of our existence.
Time is gold throw not minute away, but
place each one to account. Do unto all men as you
would be done by.
Never put off till tomorrow what can be done to-
day. Never bid another do what you do yourself
Never covet what is not your own. Never think any
matter so triang not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does not first come in.
Never spend but to produce.
Let the graeest order regulate transactions of your
lfe Study in your of life to do the greatest
good.
Deprive yourselfof nothing necessary to your COM
fort, but live in an honorable simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment of your existence
Pursue strictly the above rules, and the Divine
blessing and riches of every kind will flow upon you
to heart content, but first of all remember that
the chief aud great duty of your life should be to
tend, by all means in your power, to the honor and
glory of our Divine Creator.
The conclusion to which l have arrived is that
without tenn erance there is health without virtue
no order; without religion happiness and that
the aim of our being is to live wisely, soberly and
righteously. JOHN McDosorau

What is Progressive Agriculture.

The New York Observer answers this question in
few words but very comprehensvey, as follows:
"Under its influence spring up tasteful and conve-
nent dwellings, adorned with shrubs and flowers,
and beautiful within with the smiles of happy wives
tidy children in tie laps of thoughtful age-broad
hearts and acts, we'll words of welcome. Pro-
gressve agriculture builds barns and puts cutters on

them. Iigrafts wild apple trees, by the M eadow

cuts down bushes, buys mower, house tools and
wagons, keeps good fences and practices soling. 1t

the oven wood for the 1t ploughs deeply,

MISCHIEF.MAKERS.

Oh could there in this world be foInd
Some little spot of happy ground,
Where village pleasures might be found
Without the village tattling,
How doub'y bIes ed that p ace would be
Where all nigh dwell at liberty,
And feel themselves forever free
OF gossip's endless prattling
IF such spot was really known
Dame Peace might claim it for her own,
And in it she might fix her throne
Forever and forever
There like queen, might rel gn and live,
Where every one would soon forgive
The little Sights they might receive,
And be offended never.
The mischief makers that remove
Far from our hearts the warmth of love,
And lead us all to disapprove
What gives another pleasure
They seem to take ones part when
They've heard our cause, unkindly then
They soon retail them all again,
Mixed with poisonous m easure.
They have such cunning way
Of telling tales. They say,
"Don't mention what say, pray,
l would not tell another"
Straight to neighbor's house they go,
Narrating every thing they know,
And break the peace of high and low,
Wife, husband, friend and brother.
Oh! that the mischif- making crew
Were reduced to one or two,
And they were painted red and blue,
That every one might know them;
Then would the village soon forget
To rage and quarrel, fume and fret,
And fall into an angry pet
With things too much below them.
For it's q sad, degrading part
To make another's bosom smart,
And plant dagger in the heart
We ought to love and cherish:
Then let us evermore be found
In quietness with all around,
While friendship, peace, and JOY abound,
And angry feelings perish.

A Shameful Appointment.

~ 0HouOi0i HPPoAuesuCASs
In 1861, prominent Indiana Demo
crat wrote to ''My Dear Voorhees," It
Washington, letter embracing these
questions: "Do you think the South have
resources enough to keep the Union for
ces at bay, and finally force a recogni-
ton of their independence, or will Lin
coins army crush them out?'' and .'What
is Morton doing in Washington" We
think his questions were fully answered
some time ago.
OF late, dear Voorhees, has been in
Washington, but it was hardly necessa-
ry to inquire what he was doing there.
No one acquainted with him could doubt
that he went there to feather his own
nest, and to demand pay from faithless
President for his services to the rebel
cause throughout the war. He has SO
far succeeded as to get the appointment
of Deputy Commissioner of Internal
Revenue for his brother in law, j. f.
Risley, and, if the Cincinnati Enquirers
Washington news is to be credited, has
the promise of the appointm ent Of him
self as Commissioner in place OF Mr.
Rollins.
Risley is reported east as an Indian
ian, but he has not been living in this
State for the past four years. He found
the society of the rebels who congrega
ted in New York, more congenial than
the loyal atmosphere of Indiana, and
changed his quarters to that city in the
summon of 1863 His solicitude for the
safety and success of our domestic reh-
els is apparent from the following letter
which he wrote to the notorious II. H.
Dodd, about the time of the exposure
of the conspiracy of the Sons Of Liberty:
New YORK, Aug. 8, 1864.
II. Il. Dodd, Esq, Indianapolis:
My Dear Sir-Hunt & Co. have play
ed the ID, with us according to reports
Does he attempt to implicate any of
our friends, and does it affect our people
in any degree?
sCan Morton overawe our people by
his military organization? I have read
with deep interest the meager newspa-
per reports of affairs in our State, and
am anxious to learn more. Write to me
if you can find leisure.
"Direct to care of Thos. p AkeTs 81
Co., 40 Wall street,
JOHN E. RlsLEY."
The antecedents of this specimen of
the genus Voorhees, were probably
known to the Secretary of the Treasury.
At all events, he refused to appoint him
until pressure was Droughe u.u-
upon him from the Presidential Man
sion, when he was forced to succumb.-

At Lexington, Pennsylvania, the other
day, a man was engaged in building a
bridge. A clergyman happening along,
he remarked to him that he was going
to see the bridge up. ''Yes,'' replied
the minister, interrupting, elf Provi-
dence permits. His reply was, "d-n
Providence" and at that instant rope
broke and down came stone that was
being lifted to its place, and crushed the
man to death instantly.

The first temperance organization was
in 1917. in Englan 1, and only prohibited
its members frem getting drunk; no
member being allowed to drink more
than fourteen glasses day! The next
organization was in the year 1900, and
only allowed its members to get drunk
on public days, A century later a soci-
ETY. was formed in the State of New
York, in which the penalty for getting
drunk was twenty five cents. A few
years later, societies were formed to
prohibit the use OF distilled spirits only.
Afterwards, total abstinence from all in
toxicatieg beverages, became the univer-
sal requisite in all temperance societies.
That there has been some progress in
the right direction, during the present
century, we have abundant evidence
and that before its close still greater re-
suits will be witnessed, needs no proph
etic pen to foreten.
