Mt. CARMEL, IND. July 8. 1867

Mr.. EAitor,-SIR: The other evening,
with faces lit up partly with guilt and
partly with innocence, did-quite number
listen to one Of those hcart.readiag articles
from the not overly able pen of J.B. Oh,
how tenderly did he make an appeal to
the ''heads' Of families of this place to
leave oil loafng. There was not dry
handkerchief, think, in the whole assem-
bly,. ! had none therefore could not
weep properly at the downfall Of Mt.
Carmel. We shall never again want one
Of his Articles read in the evening, as n
slcepless night is sure to be the conse-
quence. And should John Bill attempt
such an outrage on our town, as TO set up
whiskey.shop, ball.alley, &C., &C., We
shall be obliged. to call into action the
civil law, "a legal proccss,) that is, if he
keeps open on Sundays.
And now, Mr. Editor, his articles have
done so much good, Especially his appeal
to the wives Of these men to try and make
homo attractive enough to keep them

not so seen stirring about the streets.
Traveler wishing to stop, wander up aud
down Il streets in quest of information,
and see no one about, leave Disguised
with tn! lace. Thus, at this present time,
Mt. Carkel presents striking picture
of ono Of the little prairie-dog villages,
with an intruder in their midst.
In conclusion, we would ask how far off
j. B. aud secretaries arc when this loafing
is going on. And are their own homes so
unattractivc that they can devote the bet
ter part of their time in attending to others
business? Ii so, their wives would confer
a great favor on the citizens generally, if
they could find ADJUSTMENTS for them,
and then we think they would not find SO
many spare moments for taking notes,
spying, &C., around this once quiet village.
John Bull was once a prominent charac-
ter, but now We think he has wandered out
Of his sphere, (whatever that may BEL al
together. Could he spare few months
from the attractinos of home, enter re-
form school, apply himself diligently,
then he might come back, live peaceabie
life, and not molest others by expressing
through the papers his flightish mind.

CELEBRATION ON The 4IH.

We Esxad ourselves inclined on The
Fourth to visit our sister city Laurel, and
zee what bill of fare was to be given the
patriotic people of the Valley. The peo-
PIE seemed very glad to see US, for they
cred the gun aud greeted us with bands
of music and floating banners. The best
arrangements had not been made, or they
failed in the execution, for part Of the
crowd went Immediately to the grove,
while the speakers and 4tb, generally,
stayed in town until after dinner. After
dinner the hands Of music called the crowd
around she stand, and prayer was offered
by Rev. q. Tinsley. DR.. Clifford was Presi.
deaf Of the day, and acted his part very
veil. The grafton was delivered by Rev.
X. NJ. Barns, Of Connersville, and was a
carefully prepared and we'll delivered ad-
dress. Indeed, Il was much superior to
the orations We usually hear on such occa-
sious. and was received with marked
pleasure by the large assembly. After
the grafton, Prof. Goodwin was called out,
and made few remarks concerning the
present grandeur and future glory of-uni-
vcrssl American empire.
While waiting for the return trains, n
great deal OF bad whiskey was used, and
ser-~ k-J E1seS sf'srszss.---ss--s-;s---..s
been for the whiskey, the day would have
pass4j of with uaa..-i plsAAnro.
We Quilted to say that Prof. Beighle,
of Metsmors, read the Declaration of In
dependence in style at once earneat and
impre. We. We thought that there might
have been a few more speeches, as we no.
ticed on the platform Revs. Tinsley, Kee-
iy, Ravens and Garland, but we presume
these had INDUCED too freely in chickens
70 feel patriotic, and they we're probably
too full for utteranco.
Taking all things together, the day was
a success, for the ride was splendid, the
weather was good, and the kind Laurelites
did all IN. their power to have things move
of pleasantly.

SANTA ANNA.
An ErentfM Career Eaded-Lye and
Death Of the Mericaa Dictator.

If we may credit the latest reports from
Mexico, and there appears little reason to
doubt them, death has ended the restless
career Of Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna.
Our dispatches say that he was shot at
Sisal, on the 25th ult., by his Liberal cap
tors. The Austrian invader and the
Mexican fomenter of revolutions have
shared the same fate. Within n little
more than forty years, the Mexican lie.
public, so-called, has been cursed by at
least forty disorganizing movements, each
of which has left her more feeble than its
predecessor. In many of these the man
whose life we arc about Ia sketch was the
leader, while in still more he bore an in
ferior, yet not triaing part.
Born at Jaiapa, early in 1893, Santa
Anna developed his peculiar talents in the
revolt against Spain, which began about
1920, and ended in the establishment Of
Mexican independence. AT first he op-
posed the advocates of centralized force,
and battled manfnlly for the Federal par
ty. lie could, however, remain satisfied
but little while with anything. In 1928
20 he headed rebellion against Presi-
dent Pedraza, in favor of his opponent,
Guerrero, but quarreled with the latter
soon after he had gained him executive
power, and by new revolution reinstated
Pedraza.
In 1888 Santa Anna became President
HIMSELF and severely chastised the rebels
who contested his authority. The Texan
revolt, little later, proved too much for
him. His capture of the Alamo and the
slaughter of tits garrison only provoked the
Texans to still fercer resistance. With
the aid of American volunteers, Santa
Anna was vanquished and made prisoner
at San Jacinto. lie was held in captivity
for about year, and on his return to Mex

An article appeared as editorial last
week. rejecting quite severely upon Con-
gresham Julian. 1t should have appear
ed as communication, aud not as having
been endorsed by the Editor. The little we
know personally Of Julian has impressed

tician, and does not use un1erhanded
means to secure his ends. Though rad
ical heretofore in his views, the people
are more disposed to endorse his political
sentiments. We hope to hear him speak
in our County at no very distant day, and
then our people can better judge of the

LETTER FROM LAUREL.

Dear Editor,--The long.expectcd and
anxiously loQkair for Ninety-First Ami

euce has cd ps passed, and is gone.
We had ton in Bcggs' Grove,
and how it bductcd, you being pres

note in YOU'D INNS without any sug-

matters conn r with this same Celebra-
ton that l die to present, lest wrong
impression be left upon the minds Of many
persons who attended on the Fourth.
In the first place, there were, as usual
upon such occasions, many drunken men,
and two drunken women in our town on
that day. Now justice impels me to say
that three fourths Of those who were
drunk belonged to some other locality
than Laurel. / hardly think there would
have been any fights, had not few young
men from neighboring town come upon
our streets, and made their boasts that
they intended to "clean out LAUREL
This caused knock down or two, and
there the matter rested.
We are increasing in civilization and
morality. An effort has been made to re-
viye the Presbyterian Churh, which prom
Uses from the present aspect, to be success
full. Two ladies started a contribution
list, and before the close Of the day they
succeeded in obtaining STAG. Part Of
this and Of other sums raised is the gift OF
some liberal Methodists who think that
the spread Of the Gospel eau be produced
by the advancement Of the Presbyterian
lew minded, bigoted Christians
who sec but the one loop-hole to Heaven
and that through the ordinance of their
own Church.
