The question seems to be, whether the
nomination at Cincinnati has den. .orlized
the Democratic party as much rs it has
gratIfied and strengthened the Repub.
iican party. The former party has been
long dangling like Mahomel's coffin. and
it still dangle,h. The Republicans have
seen what Cincinnati has done. and will
go to Philadelphia and open the battle

Feb, lst, 1872

Dear Aunt Louisa Il don't think |
can better occupy myself this beautiful
afternoon than in writing to you. The
weather is very beautiful although there
has been great amount of rain, which
done, great damage, and also has been a
benefit to the country. On the night of
Dec. 2Sth, very sad accident occurred.
The stage was coming from Santa Bar
bara and going to San LUIS, when within
about five miles of there, they had to
cross. a creek but found it much Swollen
from the effect of the recent rains, though
not enough TO render the crossing danger
Gus; but in crossing, when the lead
horses had reached the steep bank on the
other side, one of them slipped and fell,
causing the stage to stop in the bed of the
stream. The Stage Agent who was rid
ing with the driver, jumped down and
found the lead horses so entanged that it
was necessary to unhook, in order to ex-
trcate them. He at once called on the
driver and passengers, of whom there we're
three in the stage, to come and help him,
the driver and one of the passengers got
down to assist, leav ng another passenger
holding the reins. In the meantime the
creek was rising very rapidly, AID before
the lead horses could be rehitched the
current swept the stage and wheel-horSes
down the stream. A, this time Mr.. T.
FL. Mitchell, one Of the passengers, having
been warned of the danger, had got out
Of the stage and was standing on the rear
boot, but before he could get oft, was car
ried down with the stage. Every effort
was made to save him, but all in vain. 1t
is supposed that he was killed by the first
fall with the stage, as nothing could af-
terwards be seen of him, though the
agent, driver and passengers went far
down the creek hoping to be able to as
sist him. The next day his body was
round on sand-bar, mile and half
