CANAL TRUSTEE.


We see by the Vncennes Gazette, that in
the event of the successful arrangement with
the BondhoIders during the coming session
of the Legislature. for the completion OF the |
Canal TO the Ohio River, the name of VIII
LARD CARPENTER, Esq, of Evansville. will
be brought forward as suitable one TO be
voted for in the election of Canal Trasiee
for the Slate. We have not the pleasure OIL
personal acquaintance with Mr. Carpenter,
but we understand ftom a reliable source,
that he is gentleman of industry, energy.

iod as praclcable.-Lafayette Journal
Well, in case "the successful arrangement
with the bondholders'' is made al the coming
session of the Legislature, it is just such a
man as the Journal describes Mr.. Carpenter
TO be that should be chosen Tor Trustee. He
is identified with the work by every interest
he possesses-has labored assdulously for
il for the last four years and encouraged
others 10 do SO also; has spent his money
freely to aid in bringing it to completion; is
as we'll acquainted with its history and can
bring as much energy, industry and capacity to
aid in finishing it as any man along its whole
line. But the great objection TO his success,
we fear, will be that he is not known as a
partisan, although a sterling Wing, he has
never thrust himself forward as candidate
for political preierment, and may not, there
| fore, by some, be considered the available

int not time that, in matters at least which
can have no political influence and which
look only to the good of the whole, we should
drop party feeling aad unite upon that man
who possesses the necessary qualifications

quired OF him. We know that the State has
lately been canvassed pretty thoroughly BY
Mr.. Michael G. Bright, of Madison, and thai
he will be candidate for the Office of Trus

one else residing off the line of the Cana

by which the Canal will be completed, i

of this end of the Stale, and the means IL

excrlons and theirs alone, and il is TO be pre-

getting possession Of the knife, and in de-
tending himself with it against the contin-

eldest, George Neal, several times, and once
in the throat nearly severing the juguar
vein. Relz called for help as soon as he
was attacked, and his two brothers coming

In order to show in the clearest manner
the utter impraclicability Of the original plan
of the campaign under Taylor,we subjoin the
following from the Cincinnati Chronicle
Ii will be observed that the article was writ
Ten before the news of the taking of Monte
rev. and before The rumor of the expedition
to Tampico to form junction with Taylor
from that point:
We assume that Gen. Taylor is at Monte
rev. Ifthere has been a battle we have no
doubt he has been victorious We have
none of the doubts which appear TO be felt in
some quarters about the dangers and diff
cuiies of the army. The army is able 10
take care of itself, so far as battles are con-
cerned. That is not the difficulty. The diff
Guilty is the length Of line Of operations, and
every step into that difficulty. The reader
who has never thought of military matters
will easily perceive The truth of these facts.
l. An army must be supplied with pro-
visions from its rear. In the present in
stance there is no prospect of getting proV-
sions from the Mexicans. The country
through which Gen. Taylor is to move is
thinly populated and poor. The supplies of
the army must be derived from New Orleans.
The line of supply is. therefore, an immense
one.
