Notwithstanding the demands of the harvest fields, a goodly number of tbe patriotic farmers, with wives, sons and daughters, assembled at Mt. Carmel on the 4th inst. to join io celebrating tbe day that cave our Nation birth. A procession was formed by Marahala Lynn and Smith, and proceeded in good order to tbe beau tiful grove near town, in tbe midst of ex cellent martial muste. After a piece or two of superior music bv the choir, nraver was offered bv the chaplain, Ilev. Mr. Guthrie; then followed .. . . . i 1 - t . 1 .1 stirring musio vj mo .uauu. ji una point the arrangement of things was interrupted by rain. Tbe people, however, tharcd the contents of their richly stored boskets. In tbe afternoon about one o clock, after appropriate musie, Dr. C. M. Hinck ly read the Declaration. After music, Key. Mr. Cbafun delivered a aound, patn otic, able and eloquent oration, which was listened to with profound attention. Some of tbo citizens of our place met on tbe evening of tbe 5th lost, and resolved unanimously to solicit the publication of the Oration in both of our Uounty papers. The dav oassed off ouietlv on the 4th at Carmel, there being no disturbance of any character on the ground. lt. J. , Death of Col. Platter. The Aurora Commercial contains the notice of the death of Col. John A.

Rev. B. W. Chidlaw was appointed special agent to collect this sum, and Oxford is expected to raise 812,000. - Laurel on the 4th. We were sorry to find that Laurel bad outgrown all creation in tho meanest qualities a town can possess. A few years ago what fighting was done, was done in Somerset ; what drunkard wero made, were made in Somerset; but when that town rotted down because of its whiskey shop, the good people of Laurel took into their midst the consuming pestilence, tbe fire ofhc.ll. There was more swearing, more drinking, moro fighting there on tho 4th than can usually be seen in a year in ordinary towns. True, some of this was done by persons from other pi aces, but it was Laurel rot gut that did tho mischief. It is a burning fbamo that such holes are left open in such a place. The good citizens of that place would soon dispose of a public brothel, or a boufe where tbe smallpox was kept fcr general distribution, but they will allow what is worse, infinitely so, and make no encrgctio efforts to burl tbo whole foul crew out of the village. Laurel's fair name was wonderfully blotted on tho Ith. Why should it bo so'i , Visitor. " vThe Wheat Crop. The Cincinnati 11 met, of tho 27th ult., says of the wheat crop of tbo present year: We anticipate a larger yield of wheat by twenty-five per cent., taking the country through, than was ever before obtained. fJ he people may look for cheap bread. All hands will rejoice farmers for a good crop, railroads for heavy freight, merchants for more trado and prompt pay, and the people for largo loaves at the old time prices. Let us all give thank?.

Lewis F.sq , of Lawrenceburg, who has given the subject considerable attontioo, thus communicates to tbe Prttt of that city, concerning the insect that has destroyed much of tho wheat: Sir. Edtiort In the report of tbe Commissioner of Agriculture at Washington City for the year 18C2, in reference to the "midge," I find the following remarks : 'With this insect I have no personal acquaintance, but the census report of 18ti0 tells its destructiveness in N. Y., in the greatly decrecsed wheat product of that State. In 1S50 it produced 13,121,498 bushels, and in 1800 but 8,051,100 bushels." There appears to be a difference between writers on the character of this insect, but Mr. Asa Fitch, of New York, must be rogaTded as the best authority, from bis personal inspection of it, and from bis thorough knowledge of whatever relates to the injurious or beneficial insects of the farm. In bis report to the State Jlosrd of Agriculture, of New York, it $tated, that although it was not before known in tbU country, yet it suddenly appeared over many portions of the New hngland States and New York, and that this was accounted for by tbe remarkable prolific character of tho insect. It commences to bear when but three days old, and produces four young daily. Thus, in twenty days the progeny of a single Midge is upwards of four millions 1 It has existed in Europe, and is there mentioned as depositing its eggs in the soft grain of the wheat in tho months of June and July, but here he says it is On tho field always sucking out the juice of the young plants, causing them to wither and die.' As yet ho bad pcen unable to find a male among them. Seemingly, all appear to be females, and tbat it baa no natural enemy in this country, (and now please mark the enterprise of New York farmers.) The New V ork State Agricultural Society baa imported their enemies with the hope of diminishing the ravages of this noxious insect. In one particular it is different from other insects. Dry weather, be says, is favorable, for their existence and reproduction, but unfavorable for tho Midge. It not only attacks the cereals, but the grapes also ; and hence if grain production was abandoned for some years it would not tend to diminish tho number of this destructive insect. In Mr. Klippart's Essay, I find it described aa a vmall yellow fly which appears about the middlo of June, and during tho early parts of tbo evenings deposits eggs on the heads of the Wheat just leforo it blooms, and when it begins to open its covering of leaves. When tbe larvto aro hatched they aro white, but 'soou turn .jimuvw and live on the juices destined to fill tho grain, which tbey appropriate either wholly or partially to themselves. When their growth is attained, they spring off the head to the ground and pass into the earth at the root of the plant, where they remain until transformed into the fly. No remedy has been .found against its dcstructivcnesM, except by means of the propagation of its natural tncmy. This is a dark fly that deposits its egg within that of the-Midge as in the case of one of tho enemies of tho Hessian fly. The worms hatched from these livo within and upon the larvrof tbe Midge, but do not effect their destruction until they have left tho Whcut beads and descend to the earth. Will our State or any of our County Agricultural Societies import the enemies of the Midgo so as to rid Indiana of this formidable destrojer of our Wheat crops? L. 13. Lewis. What Strangers Think. ii u uvuui i nuj iv tu uiuuvi iui u would cive a moro clowing description of the Whitewater Vullcy and still it is not exsggtsrated than the following which we find in tho Madison (Ind.) CourUr, over the signature of "Rambler:'' It is not our purpose to land and praine any country beyond its merit?; but the beautiful valley of tbo Whito Water is rightly named "the Garden Valley. A rido from North Ucnd to Connersville, through Drookvillo and Laurel, at this season of the year, will convince any one that there are sopie beautiful places yet remaining amid the general ruin 'of the world, to teach humanity how beautiful and lovely earth must have been before Eve was beguiled; before sbo ato of the forbidden fruit and full from her pristino purity. When wo came up on tho railroad it was in tho morning, just after a gentle shower. From every leaf on tree and shrub seemed to hang a crystal dew-drop, glittering in the morning sunshine The balmy air, laden with the fragrant odors of the blossoming clover and thousands of wild flowers on tho hillsides and in tho valley, gently funned the cheek. At places wero field of corn, just bursting through the cround and seeking sunlight, while fields of wheat and barley were waving their beads befuro tbe morning breeze, as if to gladden tho hearts of far men.

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 justico impels roe to say that three-fourths of thoco who were drunk belonged to si mo other 'locality than Laurel. . I hardly think there would have bcon any fights, had not a few young men from a neighboring town come upon our streets, and made their boosts that tbey intended to "clean out Laurel." This caused a knock-down or two, and there the matter rested. We aro increasing in civilization and morality.

Mr, EtUtor, Sta: Tbo other evening, with faces lit up partly with guilt and partly with innocence, did 'quite a number listen to ono of thmo heart-rCndlnj articles from tbo not overly able pen of J.U.

Traveler wishing to stop, wander up and down tlr jstrcots in quest of information, and sec h no one about, leave dicgustcd with thiWlaco. Thus, at this present time, Mt.

In conclusion, wo would ask how far off J. 1J. and secretaries aro when this loafing is going on. And aro their own homes so unattractivo tbat they can devote tho better part of their lime in attending to others' husincjs? If so, their wives would confer a great favor on tho citizens generally, if they could find amusements for them, and then wc think they would not find so many rparo moments for taking notos, spying, fco., around this one quiet village. John Bull was once a prominent character, but now we think ho has wandered out of bis sphere, (whatever tbat maybe,) altogether. Could ho spare a few months from the attractinos of home, enter a reform school, apply himself diligently, then ho might come back, livo a peaceable life, and not molest others by expressing through the papers his flightish mind. l)cin; myself no Dashwbackcr: I sizn elearly. Clauence L. La Hue. CONGRESSIONAL. .There wasa quorum in both houicsof Congress on Wednesday. In tho Scnate,bills on the subject ol reconstruction were presented by Senators Wilson, Sumner, Frelinghuysen and Drake. Mr. Wilson's bill vacates all civil offices in tho rebel States, and authorizes the commanding officers to fill them by oppointmcnt, or by ordering elcc. tions, and will givo registers the right to Idecido qualifications of applicants for reg5ätrv. Several nttcrants wero made to in. roduce business pertaining to general leglation, but the benote showed bo dispoition to act on anything but tbe reconstruc tion question. In tbo Houso tho first 'jucstion which camo up was rclativo to wearing in tha Kentucky delegations, hich gave riso to a long debate. (Jen. Lösau moved to refer them all to tbe committco on elections, and supported bis mo tion by a speech. The motion was finally carried, after making an exception in favor of Mr. Adams. This debato arose on the protest of Samuel Mclvce against allowing Mr. Young to take his scat. Mr. Stevens secured the appointment of a committee of nino on reconstruction, and Mr. Elliott, of Massachusetts, introduced a resolution, which passed, providing that all questions of general legislation introduced ßhould lie on tbe tablo without debate. The opinion in favor of a short session ii obviously very strong in both Houses. The tcmpor of Congress appears to bo unmistakably in favor of a short hession, during which all energies shall be devoted

to the work of cerfectintr the necesiarv

legislation for reconstruction. In the Senate, on Friday, there was a lively debato on amotion of Mr. Anthony to confine business to tbe matter of reconstruction. Mr. Sumner offered a substitute motion, advocatingit by a ouple of speech es, in which he said tho treaties with South America and llussia, the condition of our Indian affairs, and the question of universal suffrage, were all ot. prossinfl importance, but be could obtain but six votes fcr tbe substitute. Another amendment, excepting Indian affairs from the mattete of excluded legislation, numbered but fifteen votes. .Mr. Edmunds offered a bill regulating the matter of registration, defining the duties of registration boards and tbe qualifications of voters, which was ordered to be printed. In the House the Speaker announced the Committee of Nine on Reconstruction as follows: Messrs. Stevens, Doutwcll, Bingham, Farnswortb, Hurlburd, Ucaman, Faioe, Fike and Brooks. This Committee will woik in conjunction with the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. Mr. Marshall endeavored to get the cases of two of the Kentucky delegation out of the Committee on Elections and have them sworn in, but tbe measure was vigorously and effectively opposed. Tbe thanka of Congress wero voted to Generals Sheridan, Fope. Schofield and Sickles, for the conduct of their duties as district commanders. TLe Fresidcnt stated to tbe Joint Committee that he bad no communication to make to Congress. Representative Walker, of Ohio, has introduced another bill for the purpose of relieving honorable soldiers from tue imputation of desertion. The House passed a resolution for the re-enrollment of tbe Missouri Militia Bill, which was passed last session, but not presented to the Frcsiient for signature until after tbo adjournment of Congress. In tbo Senate a resolution was offered, calling on tbe Secretary of Stato for in for motion on Mexican affairs, by which Mr. Sumner eaid be hoped to get at all the facts regarding tbe execution of Maximilian. A vimilar resolution was put through me uouse. mere is raucu leenng in Congress on this subject, and several members are primed with speeches, to let off when opportunity comes. The Sen ato appears to consider its reso lution of Friday against legislating on any subject but reconstruction to be very binding, for it voted tbat under tho reso lution it could not pass tbe joint reso lution giving the thanks of Congress to the District commanders, and, moreover, re fused to suspend the rule for the purpose of passing the resolution. A resolution re garding tho state of Indian affairs was a so laid over for tho samo reason. An effort is to be made to bavo thia gag rescinded. Mr. Schenclc introduced a joint rcsolu tion wuicu passed tho House, calling on tho Frcsident for the complete records of tbe Cabinet Meetings which passed upon the opinions of Attorney General Stanlerv. This is for tho purposo cf bringing out tbo written reasons given by the Secretary of war lor lus votes in opposition to the opinions of the other members. This doe ument ic said by those who have seeu it, to be brief, clear and conclusive. Mr. Butler secured the appointment of a opccial Committco of live to thoroughly investigate the assassination plot. .The Com mittco is armed with full power to sit in recess, examine persons under oath, and is granted access to all the facts oh' taincd by other committees bearing on the subject. In order to obtain tbe evidence of high officials, supposed to know some thing about it, which evidence, if given, would incriminate themselves, the Committco is empowered to recommend to amnesty any such persons who give important evidence tending to clear up the mystery. The committee on Elections io the House yesterday reported that in the case cf members elect charged with personal disloyalty, or open acta of rebellion, they ought nvt to bo admitted to seats in Congress, whether 'bey como from States which wero disloyal during the war, or otherwise; but incaso of the election of members against whom there is no allegation of personal disloyalty, but bitnply the charge that they were illegally elected by disloyal constituencies, such members ought to be admitted to the contested scats until the evidence that they have no right to them is ascertained. The Committees of tho two Houses of Congress did not hold a joint meeting in tbe morning as was anticipated, in consequence of which a different bill was presented in each House, and both bills are amended in important particulars. Both were advanced to a second reading. It is thought doubtful whether the Senate will agree to all the provisions of tho House bill, which is the more radical of the two. SANTA ANNA. An Eeentful Career Ended Life Death of (he Mexican Dictator. and If wc may credit the latest reports from Mexico, and thero appears little reason to doubt them, death has ended tbe restless career of Antonio Lopez De Santa Anna. Our dispatches say that he was shot at Sisal, on the 25th ult., by his Liberal captors. The Austrian invader and tho Mexican fomentcr of revolutions have shared the same fate. Within a little moro than forty years, tho Mexican Hepublic, so-called, has been cursed by at least forty disorganizing movements, each of which has left her -moro feeblo than its predecessor. In many of these tbe man whose life we aro about ta sketch was tbe leader, while in still moro be bore an inferior, yet not trifling part. Born at Jalapa, early in 1793, Santa Anna developed his poculiar talents in the revolt against Spain, which began about 1S20, and ended in the establishment of Mexican independence. At first be opposed the advocates of centralized force, and battled manfnlly for the Federal party.' He could, however, remain satisfied but a little while with anything. In 182820 he beaded a rebellion against Frcsident Fedraza, in favor of his opponent, (iuerrero, but quarreled with the latter soon after he had gained him executive power, and by a new revolution reinstated Fedraza. In 1S33 Santa Anna became President himself, and severely chastised tho rebels, who contested his authority. The Texan revolt, a little later, proved too much for him, Iiis capture of tho Alamo and the slaughter of its garrison only provoked the Tcxans to still fiercer resistance. With tho aid of. American volunteers, Santa Anna was vanquished and mado prisoner at San Jacinto. He was held in captivity , for about a year, and on his return to Mex-1

ico in 1737, was very coolly received; a treaty, which he bad made with the Texans, being declared unauthorized and greatly imparing bis popularity. Tho French attack on Vera Cruz brought him again into power. Those of his countrymen who hated him most.could not deny bis ability, and he waa designated to defend the beleaguered city. Ho repelled the invaders, but lost a leg in battle. Ilia Federal tendencies had long since been abandoned, and the dictatorship with which be was invested during tbe war with Texas, imbued him with love of personal power tbat never lift him, He was thence? forward the champion of centralization and despotism. From 1841 to 1814, be was really absolut ruler of the country, under the name of "Provisional President." In 1815 he was deposed and banished for ten years. He returned to Cuba, where be watched the course of events. On the outbreak of war with the United States be was recalled to Mexico, and permitted by our authorities to pass tbe lines. Instead of being pacifically inclined, aa be was believed to be, be proved an advocate of war, and was placed at the head of civil and military affairs. Defeated by Taylor at Buena Vista, be promptly gathered a new army, which was routed by Scott at Cerro Gordo. He next resorted to diplomacy that be might gain time for tbe organization of freiji troops. When be felt ready, be threw off the mask again only'to be defeated at Contreras and Cburubusco. Scott gave him aa armistice, but waa, after all, compelled to fight his way to the capital. Santa Anna made a few moro faint attempts at resistance, but in vain, and was finally permitted to leave the country. He went to Jamaica, where he remained fivo years. In F353he returned, and waa appointed President.

Had be taken warning by the past, be might have prospered. IIo preferred to betray tbe liberties of the people, who were only anxious lor a constitutional government, by arrogating to himself the most absolute ppwer. The revolution followed, and after showing his usual pluck in resis ting it, be at last abdicated and settled down in the Island of St. Thomas. He remained there until the French invasion of 1861 occurred, a movement which there is every reason to believe be encouraged, though his good wishes were thrown away upon Napoleon. A year ago be came to New York, where he affected onti-Ln-perial sympathies, but could not secure the confidence of tho Liberals. Though verging on three-score and ten, be was as zealous an intriguer as ever, and fancying tbe time had approached for him to act, slipped quietly off for Havana a few weeks since. Thence he sailed la the steamer Virginia to Vera Cruz, then defended by tho Imperialuti against a besieging force of Liberals. His design was to get the garrison and inhabitants to pronounce for hiru as Ptesident, and be bore in bis pocket vorious pompous proclamations eulogistic of bis virtues and abilities. Captain Itowe.of tho United States steamer Tocony, now interfered. IIo nrrcited Santa Anna as a duturbcr of the peace, and öfter keeping him prisoner on board hie Tcsset for a few days font hi in to the Captain ct the Virginia, with otdcrsto take him back to Havana.
