Feb 14, 1861 :  “American Claimant for the French Throne — The validity of Jerome Bonaparte’s marriage with Miss Patterson to be tested. Death of Ex-King of Wurtemburg brings up the claim of his American widow and her son to their share in the succession ….plainly recognize the legitimacy of their claims. The American Jerome Bonaparte was born before the Prince Napoleon, son of Queen of Wurtemburg, he would be next heir to the French throne, after the present Prince Imperial.It would be a strange chance that should make the grandson of an American citizen,and one who for many years was a simple American citizen himself, heir to the crown of Charlemagne and St. Louis and Henri Quatre.” Optic — Place on a sheet of white paper a piece of blue silk about four inches in diameter, in the sunshine; cover the center of this with a piece of yellow silk about three inches in diameter; and the center of this with a piece of pink silk about two inches in diameter; and the center of the pink silk again cover with another circle of green silk about one inches in diameter; then cover the center of the green silk with a circle of Indigo about half an inch in diameter; in the center of the whole make a black dot with a pin. Then look steady for a minute on this central spot, and closing your eyes, hold your hand about an inch distant before them, and you will appear to see the most beautiful circle of colors that imagination can conceive, which colors will appear not only different from the colors of the silk, but will keep perpetually changing.The wealthy capitalist, those of Hebrew birth particularly, are withdrawing from South Carolina.The famous Dr. Abernathy’s rule for life was this coarsely expressed: “Love Godand keep your bowels open.” A writer in the Montgomery (Ala) mail says that Fort Sumter can be reduced in eight or nine days with four rifled cannon. It will cost to capture it $189,000.Our Government paid $7,000,000 for Florida, and not less than $1,000,000,000 to clear her of Seminoles.Small-pox is raging in Jay, Madison and Fountain Cos, IN An Albany barber having an intemperate man to shave on Sunday, begged him to keep his mouth shut, as it was a punishable offense to open a “rum hole” on the Sabbath.Perry county residents are reminded to be vaccinated against small-pox due to epidemic elsewhere in state.

  • Lasber, Esq

On Sunday afternoon last this community was thrown into an uproarious excitementby the news that some four hundred guerillas were on Deer Creek, about six milesfrom Cannelton, commiting every species of vandalism. The Hinton meeting housewas burned, fences destroyed, etc…Col Fournier was promptly in his saddle…word was immediately sent to Capt. Reif of Tell City, to Capt. Gage at Troy, andto Capt. Taylor of Maxville in Spencer County, and in a few hours the county wasswarming with armed men. Capt. Myers and Capt. Wales, with companies of infantry,and Capt. Payne’s Battery, with a company of citizens for a support, commanded byCapt. Richards, were soon ready for duty and on the march to points designated…the 65th Infantry (they crossed from Hawesville, KY to Perry Co, IN) scoured countyand found no guerillas on Deer Creek, no burned church, fences destroyed…A company from Rome, in this county, were in hot pursuit of the guerilla raiderswho were captured near Leavenworth…From the Hon. Jas. Hardin, who was one oftheir prisoners, we learn…out of sixty-five who crossed into Indiana to steal,plunder, burn and murder, only one has escaped…Two old bags, who had been prowling around the locality for several days beggingmoney, were arrested on Monday last as suspicious persons and have been sent toLouisville…The great number of Irish who are leaving the Gem of the Sea for the United Statesis quite alarming to Johnny Bell. We have room enough for them.

Cannelton Enquirer

Jul 10, 1863   The Jasper Courier says that thirty negroes have gone from Gibson County, IN torecruit the negro regiments of Massachusetts. By gleaning negroes from everypart of the country, Gov. Adams, of Mass. hopes that no more white men of the Bay State will be compelled to go to the war. We challenge the history of the warto furnish a fact more humiliating and degrading than the action of this foul-mouthed, ranting abolitionist, Governor Andrews. He would keep the descendants of revolutionary sires at home pegging shoes, while the nigger defends the Government formed by such men as Hancock and Adams. He would see the white race of Mass. at home, while negroes go forth to uphold the starry flag of their country. He would fetch the white men of Mass. to shrink and shirk like craven cowards,while he is engaged, like a scavenger, in sweeping the foul localities of the Union for a few filthy niggers to enforce the Constitution. Andrews has kept Mass.from filling her quota since the war commenced and place the State, which hergreat men of other days made “illustrious”, first in the list of disgustingradicalism, and last in the noble work of coming to the rescue of an Imperiled Government, and now, as if he had not made her record sufficiently black, he intends completing the work by linking with the glorious deals of the past the fact thatold Mass. recruit niggers to perpetuate the Government. Such is abolitionism.
