CITY OF EVANSVILLE:
TUESDAY MORNING, AUG. %.

CO The course pursued by those who con-
troll the Democrat surprises neither Us, nor the
public. We felt and knew from the first is
sue OF that sheet that it would resort to black
guardism and personal abuse the moment that
its lies and slaaders were detected and exposed.
Those who control it have no other weapons
and never will consent to meet any issue in
any other way. If they can succeed in Undue
ing their opponents to "sling mud" with them
they are perfectly satisfied, and would continue
the fight for one year, or ten years, or for ever.
They have no character to lose and don't want
any character, and are but too well pleased
when they can pull down Others to their own
infamous level. Against such people there
can be no credit in contending-if you war
with them you must do it on their terms and
with their weapons And certainly cur patrons
do not desire this of Us. They will not expect
us TO make blackguard Of ourself that we
may answer blackguard; they would not be
pleased to see US debase the columns of the pa
per they have SO long supported by such
course as that pursued BY the Democrat. They
have regard for US which we would forfeit
were we to do so. 1t is true we have felt our
self called upon to expose the lies and ISLANDERS
which almost daily appear in that print, and
we shall be again, aud we shall do SO; but, as
We have said above, We can't be induced to
fight the Democrat as it would delight to have
us. 1t has too greatly the adyantage-every
BLACKBOARD has too greatly the advantage Of US
in such fight.

The DEAD SEA EXPEDITION pri
vale letters which have been shown 10 the
editor of the Boston Transcript, il appears
that the Dead Sea exploring party have sue
cessfully and satisfactorily completed their
task, and returned TO jerusalem, where they
were on the 10Th Of May. They have SCUM.
ded the sea in all lis paris, 10 The depth OF
600 fathoms, and found the bottom crystal

ted to the water turns on, TO be fabulous
Ducks were seen skimming over the surface
and partIidges abounded along the shore
The party we're upon the sea in their boats,
or encamped on lis borders for some two
months, and their researches and estimates
have been Of the most thorough and inieres-
Ting character. All were in excellent health
and spirits, no sickness or accident having
occurred. BY the Arabs they had been re-
ceived, and uniformay treated with the ut
most kindness and attention. The Syrians
consider s'lhe men OF The Jordan" as they
call them, the greatest heroes of the day.
Lieutenants Lynch and Dale will visit unde r

ces made memorable in Scripture history !;
and we may expect from them highly in

Dead Sea, and their adventures in the Holy
Land.

TELEGRAPH BY SoUED.-The Norwich Con.
Courier says-"We have just been called upon
by gentleman who has visited our city for
the purpose, he tells Us, of testing an invention
for conEeying sound TO an almost unlimited
distance, at the same time retaining the artic'
ulation so perfectly. that two men standing
the one in Norwich. and the other in Boston
shall be able to converse with the same ease al
if standing face to face, The very idea strikes
one as almost prepostereus, and yet the gentle
man alluded to seems very confident of its en-
tire practacability. He states that he has the
necessary machinery now constructing IN thu
city, and that, in a few days it will be com.
pleted and ready to be submitted to the test o.
experiment.

FIGHT WITH SHARK.-A few days ago
as one of the fishermen Of Hunslanlon, Nor
folk, was employed catching crabs near the
shore that watering place, he observed some
thing Of a most formidable size approaching
him in the water. The Tide was Teceding,
and The man, who was within fifty yards Of
The shore, but much above the waste in the
sea, when nothing daunied, he struck Sc
we're blow at his new acquaintance, which he
soon discovered to be shark! A regular
combat ensued, the man aiming heavy blows
at the head of the fish, and The latter fight.
ing with his tail with which he struck the
fisherman two or three times severely on the
chest. The man fortunately for himself. nev-
er lost his footing, his presence Of mind, Of
his strength, and ultimately succeeded ia
cap:uring The monster. The tide conlin-
uing 10 ebb, the shark was left on The dry
sands, where the old man was seen standing
with much satisfaction over his captured en-
envy. The shark measured nine feet in
engih, and was presumed TO weigh aboul
80 stone. The spot on which it was first
seen was close TO The place frequented by
baihers, machine having on the day fe.
quenily conveyed parties there.

TAYLOR MEETIse AT LANCASTER, PA
great Taylor Meeting was held at Lancaster
Penn. on Saturday, comprising from five to
six thousand of the patriotic people of that
town and vicinity. Al o'clock a procession
was formed, which proceeded to an orchard be-
longing TO COL Mayer-where, says the Phila-
phia Inquirer, an able address was made by
Gov, Johnston, who was followed by the Hon.
James Pollock, in speech that drew forth
great applause. At the close of the meeting
the very earth trembled with shouts aud huzzas
of the multitude for Taylor, Fillmore, Middle
swar,h and Johnson. The Old Guurd will do
her part towards sealing the doom of the
Castles in this State at the approachingaelec-
ton.
A correspondent Of the Philadel phia Ledger,
Ia paper not friendly to the Wing cause, thus
describes this great conyocation:
at would be doing injustice to say, that
those appeals were unheeded, or not duly ap-
preciated, for seldom have seen, (and have
been resident of Lancaster for twenty-five
years,) a larger turn out than upon this occa-
sion. From the mornings dawn until IN o.
clock, the roads leading 10 the city were liter
ally thronged with conyeyances OF every hue
and complexion, fairly groanins under the
weight of their respective loads. Large Con-
estoga wagons, dearborns, gigs, &C., and every
species OF conveyance you can well imagine,
was 10 be seen, all decorated with wreaths.
banners, &C., and then the horsemen without
number, each carrying a small banner on
which was inscribed some favorite Wing mot
10 to cheer him on in the ''good cause" The
humble pedestrian too, with the same buoyant
spirit that animated his leader, could be seen
trudging towards the great centre ofattraction,
and giving in his adhesion to the gallant old
lack, BY loud huzza."

MARTYR VAN BuREN's Non CoMH,TALisM.-
The Alexandria Gazette tells the following
story. as illustrative of Martins non-commit-
ialism.
"Four gentlemen were one day disputing on
Pennsylvania Avenue, (Washington) as TO the
proper pronunciation of the word gold two
pronounced it one way and two another
While arguing the point they espied Mr.. Van
Buren,, the President of the u. s., approaching
and they resolved to leave the question TO him.
Mr.. Van Buren, on being applied to, inquired
how they stood. He was told they were equal.
y divided. Without moment hesitation, and
putting on peculiar smile, the President re-
piled mo matter gentlemen hoU you pronounce

and bowling most courteously, passed on his
way.
Some years ago, the subject Of Van Buren's
non-committalism became the subject of con-
vers.tion among a group of gentlemen con-
gregated of board of a Hudson river packet
Some OF Ex-President's friends were present
and against the charge that he would never
promptly give his opinion, stoutly defend him
In the midst of the discussion the steamer stop

on MS appearance, offered the bet oil cha m
payne supper that Mr.. Van Buren, would not
answer directly the simplest question, SO
schooled was he in Disgusting his sentiments
The bet was taken and one Of the gentlemen
was authorized to ask MIR. Van Buren,, eff the
sun rose in the east"
The gentleman who was a stranger to little
Van walked up and very courteously remarked
that he was his political friend, that he had de-
fend him against the charge of giving equivo-
cal answers and that he wished 10 ask him one
question. Mr.. Van Buren, as usual, was sim
gularly polite, and said he would do anything
in his power to crafty him. The gentleman
then said, am requested to ask you, "if the
sun rises in the east"
Singular as it may seem, this took the ma
gician entirely by surprise. He looked grave
refectedly seriously, and after considerable hes
itation, said:
at depends upon the accident OF mere spec
ulatlon TO say the sun rises at any given place,
for ii must be conceded that the points of the
compass are merely conventional"
The frightened questioner retired amidst the
most profound admiration, and paid the bet.

HMr. TAYLOR, of Ohio. in recent speech
in Congress, said that he had taken the trouble
10 examine the documents in the State Depart
ment, in relation to the principles of the W.T.
mot Proviso, and that he found the the Ordi-
nance of 1881, (Which is the Wilmot Proviso

and yet they repudiate this, one of the best
acts Of his public life! How consistent!
