Derancratic speakers never fail to put this question as one which ReyablieHiis cannot or dare not answer, and by a false array ol' figures and a misrepresentation of facts, they pretend to show that immense sums money have been squandered by the Republican party in carrying on t.fie Government. 15 ut this feature ot Republican administration, when truthfully and fairly presented, is one of which we are proud. It affords ono of the most convincing proofs of the general honesty and ability of Uio-e whom Ave have plaeod in power. AYo present a t'ew figures taken from an article in the N. Y.
ttc'twoen April ]-t. 1805 and June .'50th the public debt was reduced by the •«uni of $802,733,329 while the interest, on the debt paid during- the time was £438. 48-1.883. making a total of $1,241,218,212. Deducting this sum from the total income (luring the same period, $1,540,058, fv3. we have the sum of 8298.840.371 left for all ordinary expenses, or less the $92, Mo.ooO per annum or. if the expendires in 1800 are stated in currency value, ii- average expenses under Republican I'ide -S15.200,000 less than that, of the last •year of James I.uchanan's administration. In addition to this, we have reduced taxation ?1(7.000.000 per anum.
And our present rateol taxation or'less ,ih:m $0 per head, will pay mir debt in 1' than 20 years, makijiii' ample allowance for interest and expenses.

Coal Creek township has been losing souie of her best citizens and there is a prospect of her losing more. About the. tenth of this month three citizens left. Pleasant Hill for the great West—John L. 3IcClure, John It. Hassle and l)r. R. 31. Earl. They intend going tirst to 31issouri and if they cannot be suited there, they will probably go to Kansas. can illy afford to spare such men as these trom this township. MeCluro was a well to do, energetic farmer. Hassle was a well known stock denier, also farmer, and Karl was one of our best physicians. So that three branches of business must, sutler by their leaving. Dr. K. was elected to the Indiana Legislature in the memorable campaign of I*-)•». and we believe tilled the place to the satisfaction of all. He has since that time ignored politic-:. Long may they ail wave in their new home, wherever it. may be.
John 31cKinley and Joel llixson, also ot Pleasant Hill, have been on a trip to Benton and .Ja
try and select homes, and we learn were much pleased with the country. The citizens ot Pleasant iliil had better look sharp o" they will lose all their best citizens. L. Davidson, long a respectable citizen of this townsuip and a radical leader, has also been on a tour through Benton and Jasper counties for the purpose of selecting a future home for himself and family. learn that he was pleased witli the country but do not. know that he made any purchase, of real estate. —1 wish to correct a statement made in the Joc'K.YAJ, a few weeks ago in regard to the Texas cattle disease. You stated that Alex Wilson had lost some eighteen head of cattle by said disease. Alex. Wilson has lost no cattle. The unlucky man was Wm. W. Wilson, who resides about two miles southeast of Alex. Wilson's, on the C'rawfordsville road. 3Ir. W. had forty-seven head that were exposed to said disease, and at last accounts forty-four were either dead or supposed to be worthless. —The Democratic county candidates had four appointments in this township last week, to wit: Pleasant
Patton's School House, and New Richmond,
did not attend any of them nor inquire about what they did or said because they slighted the Ridge. If they had come hero
to the precinct as they should have done, I would have reported their speeches, but they were too bigoted"*for that and if they have put their foot in it I am not responsible. I should like to have heard A. Johnson speak. He is about as easy a speaker as I ever heard. All he has to do is to open his mouth and let her grind, and it grinds about as well without any grist as with it. —Corn is not so good as I expected it would be two months ago when I first wrote to you. It has been too dry. John Widener and Joseph Boes have each got a good crop. They know how to raise it. --The farmers are all busy sowing wheat. There will be more wheat sowed this year than several preceding ones. —-Mrs. Williams has the chills. I would like to get a substitute to receive the scoldings that she gives me. Who will offer? —I intend in a short time to give a history of Coal Creek township, its resources, its villages, post offices and leading citizens also of its sub-districts.
Perry Winkle, and some of your other correspondents are making a terrible fuss about the "stone front." I have had some experience in "stone fronts" and don't like 'em. The way of it was this: I went to town to a show and got myself outside of a little too much platform, and one of your city chaps took me to a room over the corner book store where they fined me seven dollars and twenty cents, and as I had not the ready cash to pay down and they refused to take my note they put me into a "stone front" and kept me there several days. They called it Hotel de McConnell. Although Newt, treated me very cleverly I don't want any more "stone fronts."
ALAMO GOSSIP.
Well, Pve got my peaches canned, pickled, preserved, some dried, and all put away so now I find time to write you once more. —I've taken a tour through Balliynch sincc I last wrote, and in absence of Alamo news, I will write of that place. I don't know as it will make much difference after all, as the two places are near akin. —The sign of "Cheers and Reals for sail," has been removed from the tree where it hung aforetime. I suppose it was takon down on account of the "Tattler's" public mentionofit. —The portion of that region through which I traveled, is just now made to blossom like the rose, by an abundance of the beautiful and fragrant flower known as "iron-weed," the only flowers I notieed in my travels through "the'Hynch," as th* na-1
did. Whit is called Main street of Balhyneli, is particularly good. It is about six miles in length and i« crossed by at least six or seven big gates not toll gates—no, thank fortune, everything is free in hospitable Bnlhynch. All the traveler has to do when lie comes t.o one of those gates, is dismount, open, pass through, and fasten after him. I found the "natives'' as kind and sociable a people as I would wish to meet. Stump 8cltool House is said to be the Capital, and the Republicans are soon to hold meeting there They are to hare a Torchlight Procession at night, but.I can't imagine where the ''Tanners'' are to march to, unless they do as did the King of France with his forty thousand men, -'march up the. hill and then march down again." The sorghum crop over there looks well, in fact splendid: tobacco also looks flourishing. 3Leions and pawpaws are abundant, so t.he people will not starve this winter. —But to return to Alamo. Work on the -mill" is progressing rapidly will soon be ready to grind. Seeding getting on rather slowly too wet they say. The Radical folks are all up and doing, preparing for the "Big Time" on the 10th. We are all going to town that day, and, my brother scribblers, iu the language of the hymn: "Shall we meet each other there:"'' —1 hope to see you all, but Perry Winkle I don't want to sec him, since he pitched "3Iaud 31ulier" so maliciously in my teeth, just to hurt- my feelings. You know, 1 read the poem ten years go, and have realized the truth of the lines lie quotes, at least six. times in thai-time. But he didn't stop at that, he mu-t needs lly at my '-peach poetry," and say Jo Cose could write as well! By the way, J'. W., how does the peach poet compare with "Midnight-.Music?" Art sari.'- that the beautiful thought thrown into the latter part of the tif'tb verse is quite

K.tmiXJK FROM KATTI.ESXAKE.
The Journal of the 17th inst., contains an article signed "Chronicle,"' in which he handles one -Alamo''—-'Johnny'' very roughly. Rattler has known said "Alamo"' correspondent of the llevieio for many years, and knowing his constitutional affinities, he is not surprised to find "Johnny" where he is. When an individual occupies a position equal to his moral worth and capacity we ask no more. We think he is now tilling that position. He has very frequently in his past life undertook to do more than that, and of course he failed. We remember when he undertook to run the Republican party by tacking it .on to his abolition plank and failed. We also remember that he undertook to run a Missouri College on the same plank, and failed for want of Democratic support. And when the Republican party failed to reward him for his grand fizzles. As naturally as "Autumn leaves fall to the earth," he tumbled into his present wallow. But where else could he go? People everywhere and under all circumstances seek such associations as will make them comparatively respectable. And in this respect "Johnny"' has unquestionably done well for himself. Nowhere else on the face of the earth, nor where the "guiltness spirits dwell" could he find so many appreciators of his lowflung black-guardism. Rattlbr. [We would be glad if "Rattler" would communicate some news from his part of the county. If anybody dies, gets married, sells a farm, moves away, raises a good crop, gets killed, commits suicide, or anything else that will interest the general reader, send the item along in few words. This remark will apply to all our correspondents.
