DAILY EVANSVILLE JoURNAL.--This stauncl
Wing sheet, for the last year published Tri
weekly and weekly, is now issued daily. The
first and second Nos. of the new issues are OF
our table, and upon an examination of the con
tents-editorials,s selections and advertisements
commercial and business, we cannot but form
most favorable impression of the enterprls
ing spirit of the Editor and the liberal and bus
mess character OF those patronizing the
paper.
Evansville is regarded as an important
point she now has two daily papers, both ap-
pear to be well supported. The Journal is
decidedly one of the best papers in the State
and deserves liberal patronage. We hail
the enterprise with pleasure and most cor
daily do we wish it success.--Nclo Albana

Where Is Gen. Taylor's Chap,
 lain4

A letter is going the rounds of the whig Press of the North, from a clergyman; who says he was with Gen. Taylor as Chap lain six years. And that the General is d very Go1ly man, and decidedly orthodox in his re- llgious opinions. It is a great pity this Chaplain did not ac- company the General to Mexi- co; as 1t would seem that cross ing the Rio Grande must have had a decidedly deIeterious in- iluence on his piety; and that he stood very much in need of his spiritual adviser. According to the certificate of the Ohio Vol unteers, their first salutation from General Taylor was.
 "You are all a G--dd-d set of thieves and towards ; you never come here to fight, but to rob and plunder, and will run at the hrst sight of the enemy"
 This is very nice compliment 10 the volunteers, to say nothing of the delicate and chaste Ian. guage to which it is expressed.

Fascinating A Bull.

It is said that bulls are very bnd of music, and that a mal can fiddle his way from one end of field to the other without danger, providing he keeps up a jolly tune. A couple of Irlshmen this spring was hired as laborers on farm in Westchester coun ty, and were so much annoyed on going to work, by bull, that they had to take something of q circuit around the field where the animal was kept.
 Be jasers,' says Pat, one morning-'rve got it, Phalim dear, we can clIate the bull, an cross the ield.'
 'An' how will ye do it, Pat ?
 Mighty aisy--Tll take along my i'd lc an ] fascinate the brute I'll give him Garry Owen,' and St. Patrick's day in the morn ing.' Wont he be irisky?'
 Pat was as good as his word of both started to work, and reached the dreaded field. Phe- lim's courage began to ooze out a little, So he got behind the stone fence, while Pat gallantly entered the 6eld.-The bull was feeding at some distance, when Pat began to play. Heraised his head, listened for a half a mo. ment, then with wild roar made for Pat.
 In vain did Pat change the tune--it was of no use, and the bull was within Q few feet of him, when he took to his heels. It was too late however, and Pat found himself stretched out all spraling, in an apple tree, the thick branches of which sustain ed him in mid air. On bough near him hung fiddle. Fortu- nately Pat had received no mju- ry save a few scratches.
 Phelim slowly raised his head, and looked over the wall Pat, Pat, have you fascinated the bull 2
 'No, be jas CTS devil a bit ov it-tho rashkall has Fascinated nc and tue fddLc both /
 Their employer soon reached the spot and Pat, after descend ing safely, told the story with the utmost simplicity.
 fAh ? said the farmer, with the greatest gravity, you didn't play the right tunes. He is an Amer ican Bull, and wont listen to any thing but Hail Columbia,' ana 'Yarkee Doodle,'
 Whether Pat ever tried these tunes, our informed did not tel us.

IMpROMpTU Butter.--We saw last week sweet milk converted into butter in four minutes; prob ably dash of iced water would have brought the butter in less time. This wonderful effect was produced by one of the most simple churning machines that we have ever seen. It consists of a square box, a hollow per pendicular shaft with two hollow arms or tubes at the lower end. The shaft rests on a pivot and Is turned by a crank and cog wheel; the motion causes tho air to rush down the tube into the milk and produces a commotion like boiling water; the butter be- gan to corae immediately, and asSer ii was made the milk was as sweet as newly.
