LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1872.

e From the Laporte Argus. POLITICS IN THE ELEVENTH DIS- : TRICT.

" Wesay it with a heavy heart but the truth must be told ; there is much trouble in the Radical party of this congressional district. There is sore discontent among the faithful, 'ahd' the weary cannot rest. 'Tissad.” = - The nomination of Gen. Packard is not only. received with disfavor by the people hut there is open rebellion in all parts of the District, and the bitterness which prevails among the politicians was never equalled in the history of Radical politics in Northern Indiana, - Scarcely a shrewd or prominent politician in the district favors the re-election of Packard, dnd every county is, to a greater or less extent imbued with uncompromising hostility to the great quoter of school book poetry. In this community the feel~ ing is well known, and no one pretends to deny that.it is savagely hostile to the aspiration of Packard. This opposition will not abate but will increase in its intensity up to the very hour of closing the polls on the Sth day of October. - In Porter county the opposition is éven stronger than it is here, and, we believe, every leading or prominent Republican in the county opposes the re-election of the gentleman with buttered locks, - The Vidette openly proclaims its intention to oppose him and forshadows its course in.the following extract: - ~

“Under the skillful manipulations of unscrupulous wire-workers and caucus managers, a body of Packard’s adherents met at Plymouth, and: after excluding a fair ‘representation 1n several bf the counties, declared Packard nominated. We were excluded from that Convention, and do not feel bound by its action. We know not to what extent others may share our disgust at the shameless and indecent fraud which was called a nomination. It is our deliberste judgment, that if the ~Republican party has become so .corrupt as to permit packed conventions to succeed in nominating their favorites, then the sooner the Republican party reforme the better. The Viperre Las been, by the. deliberate action of the Convention, released from all obligations to support Gen. Packard, and a decent self-respect leads us to sa‘ to the Republicans:of Porter county that we deem his defeat preferable to the perpetration of the'kind of work that secured his nomination. . We hope that in a.short time, & convention will be called of all the opponents of Gen. Packard, in this distriet, and that a movement will be made t¢ teach.wireworkers that the veople will not be cheated out of their rights by packed conventions.”’ ; :

The feeling in the South-West part of the district is of a similar character; perhaps, it is fully as out<spoken it it is not as well organized, as in this section. The sentiment. which prevails is indicated in the following extract from the Renssélaer Union : At Plymouth yesterday, Hon. Jasper Packard was declared' the nominee of the Republicans for Representative in Congress from the 11th Indiana District.. Af this hour we have neither time, space nor inclination to comment on the causes which excluded the op poilion from having a voice or hearing in the Convention.”

- In Fulton county and in the South part of the district there is. great hos~ tility to Packard and his opponents will “scratch” himin a way rarely seenTo this element of opposition in the Radical party, of course the reader can add the entire Democratic vote, and then a proper estimate of the chances for Packard’s re-election can be arrived atIf there is a unity of action between the liberal and disaffected Republicans and the Democrats of the District there can hardly be a question as to the result. In such an eventthe 11th District will be represented by a conservative, and Gen. Packard will be pérmited to retire to the shades of private life; - e iy

The onward march of the caterpil-’ lar is irresistable. It is coming in force, and if some remedy is not applied every green thing will be devoured. We learn from a gentleman who has been traveling extensively in the country west of New Albany, that the trees and *bushes ‘are covered with these pests, and already in many places the leaves are devoured. It is said that these pest: descend’to the ground every day about noon, which, if not true of all of them is quite true of large numbers, We have noticed in various parts of the city that the ornamental shade trees are becoming infested with caterpillars, and that large numbers do come to the ground every day. Itwouldbea good idea to watch when the pests deseend to the ground, and then girdle the trées with pitch or tar, This plan has been found to work like a charm.—New. Albany; Ledger. Eoke G

‘"Tobrighten carpets, dissolve a handful of alum in a pail of water and dip your broom in—shake it well and sweep a small space, Then re-dip the: broom and sweep as before until you: have gone over the whole carpet. You cannot imagine’how it will renew the colors in the carpet—especially green. A Springrierp (Illinois) paper says, “‘a. camp of Gipsies have been for some time located in the woods near that place, and on Sunday lagt Rev. F. M. Gregg, an Episeopal minister of Springfield, went out and married thrée couples. He also baptised seven children according to the cer< emony of the church of England.

. _A RAIN OF SMALL-POX FLIES, ~ The Captain and crew of the ship 1 Altbe&il wgich arrived at Melbourne, Australia, last month, relate the follow(ing remarkable story, a story almost past belief, yet vouched for by the -correspondent of the New York World in that city : 4 : - They report that, while the Althea was in the Indian aud Southern oceans last November,” and doubling Cape St. Mary, Madagascar, the watch snddenly noticed what geemed a dense black cloud. hovering in the air, and apparently making for the ship. In anticipation of a gale, such as is common in the Indian ocean, the sails were instantly furled and things made ready for the storm. But the cloud came on steadily, preceded by a deafening din, and in about twenty minutes dissolved into a perfect rain of swarming flies, ~which settled down upon the ship, where they were packed as densely upon each other as were the pigeons in South America which Auduﬁo’n describes. They bit and stung and buzzed uitil the mea were almost crazed, but all hands were instantly piped to clean the decks and shovel the plague into the sea. They worked for about three hours, slashing and mashing and hammering the flies; but so great was the weight added to the ship thatshe was in' danger of foundering, when, luckily for them "a mighty wind swept down from the Red mountains and blew the pest all away. The sailors, who did not know what to make of the affair, and were growing superstitious about it, wished instantly to leave the track they were pursuing, and which was toward the mouth of the Sofala river in Mozambique ; but the Captain refused to accede to their reqnest. For days they proceeded on their way across Mozambique Channel, seeing no more of the flies until they were within four days’ sail of Sofala, when for a whole day their keel ran through miles of the rotting carcasses of these ingects, which filled the air with a horrible and loathsome stench. Eight of the men were taken sick and five of them died, their.corpses being covered with pustules somewhat resembling those of small-pox, but looking more malignant, while a yellowish-green ichor - distilled from them even in death. The men were on the verge of mutiny, but there was noth« ing for them to do but =ail on, for now they had c(ﬁm'e to clear water, and evidently it would " not do to sail over the course again,— At last they reached Sofala, the inhabitants of which they found suffering from aloathsome and mést maliglnant type of small-pox, which had long raged in the interior, and which the physicians held had been propagated by enormous swarms of flies which had been bred and propagated in the unburied and rotten carcasses of victims which lay boiling in the sun in that vast and almost unknown interior.— ‘They held, too, that not only did the flies themselves reek with the virus, but that when they settled on a victim their pulvilli, which are beset with numerous longg hairs, and act as suckers, sucked up the virug, and then whoever they afterwards settled upon was inoculated, The Althea sailed away, all of its crew being reduced to the extremity of fear, although none of them at the time were taken down with the disease; for on the sickness of the eight men, five of whom had already died, and the other three of whom soon followed, the surgeon had vaccinated them all. Thus far Captain Arlington’s story had seemed horrible enough, yet it might be true; but for: that which followed I was .wholly uanprepared, and to think that the Captain must have gone mad. The Althea sailed away northward toward the Comoro islands, every day or two running through layers of the rotten flies ; the crew again became sick and half crazy, and were redaced to almost skeletons ; half of them ounly were made to do dutv for ten hours at a time, while the rest were confined in the disinfected hold, where the surgeon, by means of some chemicals, made them breathe air surcharged with oxygen, under the infuence of which they came to sleep well and eat well, but their nervous system deteriorated and they became more and more insane. For some reason or other the Comoro islands seem to be free from this pestilence; and here the crew remained for three weeks, daring which time they were greatly recuperated. Then they, determined . at last to getaway from the korror as soon ss possible, and set about to return homeward. But they went back to Madagasecar, stopping midway between Cape Ambro and St. Andrew. Here'the trees and shrubbery for great areas were covered and abtolutely weighed down with enormous black flies, some of which were as large as bumble bees, and occasionally vast clouds of them would whiz through the air, and going down to the shore, wonld 'settle on the ship. ‘What they lived on was the mystery, for already they had iiti-igpéalf the trees of leaves. , Sometimes alimb loaded with them. would fall'and crush myraids of them to death; ‘and the greund was covered with dense ' black ‘masses of - their decaying ‘bodies, which festéred’ there and filled the air 'with the’ most loathsome stench. One realized what. the plague of flies which once afflicted :ldgygt must have been. They intend-. ed to set sail, but the wind came up: blowing with almost hurricane violence; from the West, and they found it ut,terlyfﬁﬁ&.dgbiblaﬁw?mé ‘the place; but the wind telieved themn from tho urgent necesgity of doing so. for as they. were on the westsido of the island, the wind blowing away toward the Eust, blew the stench.and the flies; off toward the mountains. =~ = .

. Compnlsory Edication,. ; The question of compulsory education is receiving considerable attention in this country of late, and it.is not at allimprobable that the German system will become as'universalin this'country as the common gchools. The argu-~ ‘ment in favor of compelling parents to send their children jto school, for a certain number of years, is based upon the idea that the education of the masses is necessary to.the.soeial and political well being of the State. The State is bound o perpetuate its .own existence and maintain ite authority, in order that it ‘may contribute to the good of all the citizens. | It Lias a right to institute: disciplinary and precauntionary measures to prevent disorder, pauperism and erime, Perhaps thig would be the very best method that could be devised against these public evils. . Between the ages of 7 and 14, the characters of most boys are formed. It.isnot poesible that they can, at that period, d 0 much toward supporting themselves. At the same time they will, if lett to themselves, contract habits of idleness, and not unfrequently other vicipus habits that cling to them through life. The State may prevent this, to a certain extent, by furnishing occupation for the children at school, giving them a thorough practical education, and mingle with the same the elementary-principles of morality and religion. It is right for the State to give this instruction into the bands of parents when parents will perform their duty, and educate the children at home or at private schools ; but 1f they fail, then it isithe duty of the State to step in and see that the. future citizens of the State shall grow wp to be useful, law-abiding and virtuous, just as the State does now step in'and give food and clothes to children whose parents fail to provide for them. There is a false sentiment of liberty that rebels against the State interfering with a man’s bringing up bis children in the way he chooses, but it only exists in'the minds of the ignorant, and with a proper apprehension of the true relation that the child sustains to the State, no one can object to the State making just as good citizens-out of the children as it can.

This argument leaves out of view the rights of the children, that not unfrequently conflict with- a vicious parental will. In an elightened and civilized country like ours, all who are born in it are entitled to its advantages, the will of a careless or vicious parent to the contrary notwithstahding. KEspecially, when the State furnishes the means for the education of the masses, it should extend its protecting ‘arm to the helpless children, that they may partake of the advantages provided, | S Many of the States in this country have shown a disposition to enter upon a plan of compulsory education, and it is likely that their example will be followed by others, A bill has lately been introduced into the Pennsylvania " Legislature, providing that parents shall send their children to school between the ages of 7 and 14, six months “each year. There is no reason why, if education is a good thing, they should not be {sent for the tull term of ten months, or even the whole twelve. To give six months of each year of school life to vacation, idleness and loafing will do very mach toward undoing what is done in the school. There is a tendency of late to shorten the day of the sessions of schools, and shorten the terms, that has no other substantial ground for it than a little laziness on the part of teachers and scholars and ought not to be tolerated. ‘ i - But perfection in education cannot be expected to be secured while in other branches of social science the world is not fully developed. But the country is making progress, for which everybody should be thanktal.—New Albany Ledger: - . ; .

AN OLD CITIZEN’S RECOLLECTION _ OF THEWAROFIBI2. =/ S e ;Nhilgﬁl,ﬂxi’-" S i I have been requested to writé a short sketch of the part I had taken, and some of the incidents that transpired, in. the ‘war of 1812; also circumstances - that transpired in the first settlement of Elkhart county.; If you should think it worth publishing 1 your paper you may do so, if not, you can throw it aside without injuring my feelings. -~ © G.fowi At the commencemant of the war, I resided in Ross county, Ohio. 'ln August, 1812, there was a demand for troops to. reinforce Gen. Hull’s army then at or near Detroit. I was then a lieutenant in a rifle company of the Ohio militia. The whole compauzewas‘ ordered out togethér: We rendezvoubéd at Urbana, which was the headquarters of the troops then being raised. Governor Meigs and the Adjutant General of Ohio were there, receiving and orkanizing the militia as they came in. - Whilst we were laying there an éxpress came from Fort: Wayne to the Governar informing him that the fort was besieged by Indians; that the inhabitants had all fled .into the fort, and that they ‘were likely to be starved out. Our company was a rifle company, and was armed with their own rifles, and .each had a tomahawk and a large knife attached to their belts; . was uniformed with blue lin: tey pants and hantingshirts. The of ficers’ bunting shirts, for distinetion, were fringed with red. = We miade a vespectable appearance when on parade. The Governor came to our captain and inquired whether our company wpuld be willing to go to Fort Wayne, provided he would furnish us with horses to.ride. The company cheerfully agreed to go. The next day about noon we were mounted on U, 8. horses, with pack saddles, and ~ our knapsacks and blankets thrown over our saddles, we made a pretty grand: show in the streets of Urbana. "We went to Pigua where we met three volunteer mounted companies. We -organized _a,%a;talio_n,, and elected an old man by the name of Adams to - command. He: lived somewhere in the Miami valley ; had been in some skirmishes with the Indians, and was said to be a good soldier. We thén went on to “Shanes crossing,” and the next day were joined by four other companies from different parts of Ohjo. We there formed a regimnent of two. battalions. ‘Gen. Lytle, of Cincinnati, was appointed to command the: first, Col. Dunlap, of Chillicothe, the second battalion, and Col. Adams to command the regiment. We then marched to Wilshire. At that place ‘we heard that Gen. Harrison was marching a military force from Kentusky to join Hull’s'army at Detroit, and concluded to go via Fort Wayne. ~ He was ex--pected there in two or fhree days, and. the officers were called together in council to decide whether to march on to Fort Wayne .immediately, or wait till. Gen.: Harrison came on, There were two notable characters with us; both bad been in Indian wars, and both had been taken prisoners by the Indians;: The one was old Gen. Simon 'Kenton, and the' other was Stephen Rugddell. The officers were somewhat divided about whether to stay or go on. Kenton advised to stay, and Ruddell was for pushing on. ' The conclusion was to remain until Harrison arrived. - When -the decision: was made ‘known, Ruddell got in a great rage, and said they were a set of damned cowards. He drew one of his pistols ‘and we: expected tbere would be blood shed, but some of his friends got him pacified. At this point I will state that Logan, the great Indian chief, was with us. = He was acquainted with Col. Dunlap (eur Major), and as Col. Dunlap stayed mostly with our eompany, I became acquainted with Logan. He told us there that he' could. not go any further with us, and his reason was this: he said he was an Indian, and the war would not ‘last always, and after peace was made he would still-be with the Indians, and if they knew that he fought against them they never would be friendly towards him. He . wasa fine, sensible man; and I wassorry fohearhow he was foolishly murdered.. . ~ We marched on with Gen. Harrison to Fort Wayne. - The night before we got therg the Indiahs viewed- our camp, and we were under alarm the ‘most of the pight. The Indians found that/ we were “too,much melish,” and the next morning they:scampered off in all dircctions. We marched in the next mqrning and found them all fled. - SR B R

Nemser Two. - [ Whilst we lay: at Camp-McArthur several cireamstances transpired, some' of which will be interesting; and some 'not much ‘so, although the militia when in service are as strictly under the rulesand articles of war as the regular soldiers are, yet the rules are not so strictly - enforced. There is more sociability and familiarity between the'officers and privates when off’ duty. A Major in our brigade who was a foppish kind of a man, belonging to a. well.known' aristocratic: family in Ohio, thought himself too gpod to associate with common soldiers,-and all the men hated him, and played all kinds of pranks upon - him. It so happened that he was officer of thé day, and I was officer of the guard at the same time. The line of sen: tinels were placed on the opposite side of | a stream of water running alongside of the camp, and the sentinels had to eross it upon a few poles thrown across for that purpose in relieving ‘guard. Rain of a short time previous had raised the stream considerably, and the boys hiad plotted to have some fun with the Major that night. It was cloudy and very dark. Shortly the Major came to the guard and requested a sergeant -and file of men to escort him over the guard rounds. The first sentinel they came to was just on theopposite side of the stream, 8o assoon as the sergeant had crossed-over, he was hailed by the sentinel, *who comes there?” The answer was, “grand rounds;” *stand fast grand rounds; advance sergeant,and give | the countersign.” By this time the Major had slipped - off the 'poles and -was floundering in the water waist deep. The sentiniel heard him splashing in the waster, ST called oubalobas “Seand Dt graad rounds,” after which he crawled cut of the water and passed on. We' heard the | splashing in the water; and from thd tittering amongst the boys I was satisfied | that it wasa plot tbey had mads up. There was a stitler that had an establishment near camp, who sold ceffee, sugar butter, ‘whisky, &e& We had quite & number of men in, the ranks that would drink too 'much whisky if they could get it. Their rations of whisky did notsatisfy them, and when they bad m?qe% they would go and buy Oftgre ;Tgr’*ﬁn i som of thel yould kbep ARk Harly all the time, Gen.

We ‘started early, and went down the stream on ‘the same side that our camp was on, and soon.discovered a drove of deers. . They .started off in different directions, two:of them crossed over the stream and made ‘Tather ‘back towards our camp. .:I crossed over and followed shem,a gonsiderable dis tance, but conld not get a shol. I could, .always see their tails before I could their -bodies, and|finally gave up the! chase, 1 concluded, as I had lost my companjons, that I would not follow them, but wsuld look round for some other game and then follow the stream back to camp. I went down the stream and followed it up untilI was confident I had go’ne far enough. I concluded I would eross over and g’e%.into | the road that led up to camp; but When -1 got to the stream I found?t»to be a §mall run with but little water in it. I’ was. then satisfied that it was-a branch of the ‘stream that/our camp was on that I knew nothing about. It was cloudy and «late in the day, and I was afraid to leave the stream for fear I would getost, 86 T copcluded to follow it around to:camp. I followed on down untill dark, when I° found.a large tree that had fallen ; it bad broke off fdur or five feet from the ground. and ‘was stjll attached to the .stump. I gathered bark and leaves, and made a comfortable place to sit; with my back against the stump, and Govered by the body of the¢ tree, which was not over two feet abave my head. I set thereall nig‘hkz, and although it rained, I kept quite dry, but-did not sleep much. Nething dis-turbed-me except that I heard something run past, which alarmed me some. -In° the morning I started down the strcam without my breakfast, and before I got ‘to the forks of the stream I heard the. eannon boom.: The boys that went with me had returned to camp/(having killed ‘no game), ynd reported’ that Lieutenant Jackson was lost in the woods, and’ Gen. Tupper kad ordered the cannon tobe fired at sunrise, and every hour aftersards until I:was found. I continued down the ‘river‘to the forks, crossed over, got into the road, and started up stream toward camp, - I presently heard another boom ;! I continued on and soon met four of*our cown men who had started out to hunt -me. ; They/fired off their.guns as a signal .that- I'was found, and we returned to camp, and [ felt very much like taking «full rations, This was n:y last deer hunt -daring the |war, : iy ~‘During dhe‘ time we remained at ‘camp McAl‘thm‘,ithe stream that we got water from froze almost dry, and the General ordered a well to be dug inside the encampment. It was commenced large enough for two- nien to work in it at a time. One day two of the men fell out and fought right in. camp. They were coutt marshaled- and were sentenced to dig in the well two days, together, which sentencg Was put in force. When 1 first settled herg at Elkhart prairic, a man by the name of William Runyan settied here In conversation with him we found that we had been at camp McArthur together. I asked him if he remembered.the circumstance |of the two men fighting in camp, and baving to dig in the public well togehxer.x He bursted out into a loud laugh and said he did remember-it well, for he was one of the men. He went from here [to' Rolling Prairie and died there several yeais ago. He wasan uncle to Peter L Runyan. Yours respectfully, i ; JOHN JACKSON.
