MILTON, Aug. 9th, 1868.
Mn. FDIToR, Thinking that. perhaps
a few lines from this region of the Whit,
Water Valley would not be wholly unin
teresiing to the readers of the american,
send you the following.
Milton is situated on the West Fork Of
White Water and on the White Water
Valley Canal, about thirty mile,
North of Brookville. aud contains a
population of 1900 inhabitants. 1t is
surrounded by rich and fertile country
all of which is under high state of cult
walton and improvement. 1t possesses
unsurpassed privileges and advantages for
running machinery, both from the river
and canal.
We have two large Touring mills and an
extensive wooden factory, The "Hooscr
Drill, Co." is located here, working over
sixty hands. and all for Grant & Colfax,
except two, who will DO before the cleo
ton. We have jewelry store, owned by
Michael & Jones, aud to which is attached
a splendid stock of glass and queensware,
making it one of the finest and largest
retail establishments of the kind in the
West. 1t is no exaggeration to say that
it is unsurpassed even in the Queen City,
by the extent, variety, style and quality of
its goods. Its proprietors are hail fellows
who have the respect Of all who know them
aud who have built up an extensive trade
in their line of business.
Our community is not wanting in relig-
ious and educational privileges, but of these
| will sneak more in detail at some future
dmee- We are favored with one Of the
largest and best adapted school houses in
Eastern Indiana. The Fall session opens
about the middle of next month. under
the superintendent of Major Kindley,
an able and experienced teacher.
The Grant 4 Colfax Club held rousing
meeting here on the 18Th inst, and wss ad-
dressed by Major PoPp, German speaker.
Another was held on the evening of the
22d, and addressed by Judge johnson Of
Centreyille. The Fighting Boys in Blue
company on Thursday eve
ming that numbers over sixty men, and
will be swelled to one hunded before the
election.
The political elements are stirring up,
and Wayne County will soon be perfect
blaze. The efforts being made by the So
called Democratic party to restore lead
ing and bloody. handed traitors to place
and power in the Government, is awaken
ing grave apprehensions among the friends
Of free government, and arousing the war

Scayenoer Maddox.

We are again called on to notice the
lille, loo, dirty, contemplate scavenger OF
the Democracy" who has sunk himself
so low that no honorable man has any
confidence in him. All honest men
shrink from him as from contagion. His
presence fills the atmosphere where he
goes with pollution and contamination.
All who come into his presence are in
danger of an attack. from his lying
tongue or from the foul exhalations Of his
polluted soul, from which he constantly
pours forth the most filthy, polluting OBJ
scenity that ever disgraced fallen human
ity.
As to his lies about our controversy
with Mr.. r. H. Swift, we only have to say
that his statements are not correct, and
that we are not to be drawn into a con-
troversy that has long since been settled.
Butas to his charges about our offering
to sell out to him, we have to say that he
lies willfully, knowingly aud corruptly,
aud is like his father, the Devil, the faith
er of the lie be tells. We leave him to
go through the world with the brand Of
falsehood on his forehead, and advise such
persons as wish to see how low humanity
can sink, to go and hear him make
speeches, but not to take their wives,
daughters, mothers, sisters or little boys,
or they will be forever lost, as no balm
could heal them from the pollution and
contagion that escapes through his lips.
We owe an apology 10 our patrons for
having to notice such depravity through
our columns.

Reply to Carmel"

see by an article in the Democrat oil
Aug. 18th an article signed Carmel y
giving a moral episode or religious define.
alton of the Julian meeting at this place.
The faithful correspondent, true to the
instincts of his party, and following in the
wake Of such journals as the Enquirer
and La Crosse Democrat, could not help
assailing the ministry OF the three gentle
men present who preach the gospel Of
peace and truth. They seemed to be
pleased with the foul SANDER" as their
chuckling smiles indicated. "Carmcl"
took back seat, and in the midst of his
shame aud confusion at the scathing his
party received at the hands of the speaker
thought all persons whose faces were not
similarly crimsoned Ger as his, were
chuckIing, for no doubt face presenting
It's natural appearance compared with his
own would be as gentle beams Of noon
day sun to the dark, bowling, midnight
tempest. His skeptic brother perhaps
took more prominent position and could
see more clearly the physiological move
ments of those three diyines whose con-
duet had aided in leading him and others
into skepticism and in6delity.
i would ask the man "reared in
Christian family" what have been his
surroundings? Does he take for his text
book the two papers above alluded to?
Does he attend ratification meetings at
Brookville, aud pole raisings at New
Trenton, and other Democratic assem-
blages where religion and those "who
preach the gospel of peace and truth meet
with TRADE and abuse from those who
harangue on such occasions? These
things have their influence, and it is hard
to resist the evils attending them, though
early training of different character may
be given. Let me ask friend "Uarmel if
he ever knew a man made skeptic by the
conduct of minister with Democratic
proclivities? Is it wrong for minister Of
the gospel of peace to enjoy chuckling
smiles at political meeting, if he votes
the Democratic Ticket? Please answer
soon. ~ ~ - s-t.f PHILO.
