On Monday the 9th agreeably 10 no.

held their convention. Six counties
only were represented out of the Is

others voted by proxy. Of the dele

one each from Macon, Lewis, Ran

have forgotten. Twelve delegates only
were present, and among the audience,
we recognised but two or three belong,
ing to the same faction. Several Wings
and Bentonites were lockers on. DR..
Lowry Of Howard presided, and the
Convention was addressed by Boon

and the President.
Jas. s. Green was nominated for Con.
gress by an unanimous vote, or, as the
President expressed il by reclamation.
The speakers earnestly disclaimed the
imputation of Dsunionisis, and were
profuse in their eulogies of Mr.. Greer
the Young Hercules, as he was re
peatedly termed. Great confidence
was expressed in their ability to cleo
him, and Mr.. Fox did not doubt that, i
needed, hundreds and thousands o
Wings would come TO the rescue hon

Pianking Main Street. &c.

The laying of the first planks on Main
Street have attracted good deal Of atten-
ton. Citizens can now see for themselves
how plank roads are made. This was one
reason why we wished to see some street OF
our city planKed. There is much talk about
plank roads, and they are being built or pro-
posed to be bnilt in almost every part of the
State. Citizens in this vicinity have been
called upon TO give their support TO certain
plank roads. The difficulty generally is,
when appeals are thus made to people in the
country TO subscribe TO such enterprises, that
they do not understand the great advantages
and economy Of plank roads. They do net
even know how they are built, and especially
in this last fact important, when if they un-
derstood the simplicity OF the whole affair.
many would subscribe for stock in labor. as is
done East, who now will never buy one share
Of stock. Thus they might benefit them
selves and such enterprises. Now we shall
soon be able to exhibit in Evansville, fair
specimen of what plank roads are-their
economy, how they are made. and their bene-
fits as public Improvement. Those persons
who have been in the habit Of visiting Evans
vile during the winter season, with Wagons
and teams, and almost staling on our most
public street, will this winter find Main street
smooth almost as their own floors and utterly
free from mud. Rains that render other
streets almost impossible will but clean this.
Frosts will come and 90 without njuring it.,
and constant travel, cutting up and deepen
ing the rnire of other thoioughiares, will but
make more solid and elegant this road, lift be
rightly made. We are sure after its benefits
become known, and the road itself inspected,
that not one half the difficulty will be en-
countered in obtaining subscriptions for plank
roads among those who have seen this
After it is finished we hope those in the
country who have any doubts of the great
advantages Of plank roads over macadamized
roads, &C., will drop in and examine Main
street, when the Improvement is completed.
We believe that this Improvement will be
found so great benefit TO Main street, that
it will not be long before other streets. or
First street at least will through its property
holders, follow TIE example We hope ere a
great while TO see First-street planked.

steamboat wreciIs--. Improvement Of
Rivers

The Pike No. arrived here Yesterday
morning with the furniture, boilers, machine
ry, &C., of the late splendid Fashion. The
Fashion passed here but a few days since, one
of the most beautiful steamers Oh the river
Now, rusty mass ofiron. broken machinery
and the worthless wreck left behind, are al
that remain of her. The boat has broken il
two.
About one hundred yards from the wreck
Of the Fashion, lies the Republic, another ex-
cellent and valuable steamer. Both struck
the same snag. We have been informed by
the officers o. the Pike No. that sub-ma-
rine boat has been at work some time on the
Republic, endeavoring TO raise her. and had
well nigh succeeded when the chain tore up
one guard, and again admitted the water
Unless the river rise very fast. it is expected
they Will yet succeed in their endeavors.
BY this very snag, we have teen assured
that one hundred thousand dollars worth Of
property has been lost, in addition to the de-
lstruction ofthese boats, through the wrecking
of hat-boats.
What commentary this is on the neglect
of governmental improving our rivers! Ac-
cidents with such results as the above, are Of
almost daily occurrence, and they will contin-
ne to happen SO long as that assistance is
withheld from the West which has been 50
literally bestowed upon other portions of the
Union. The seaboard receives the benefits
of appropriations every session of Congress,
and commerce there realizes all the prott ction
West, we suffer on without assistance, while
every year has history, fearful history OF
its own, of the loss of we may say hundreds
of lives, and the destruction of incalculable
amounts of property. Is no remedy to be off,
cred for these evils2 Are we to remain the
only portion Of the Union over which govern
ment may not extend fostering care? So
long as there are traitors 10 our interests in
our midst, and controlling papers, we may
expect to suffer and cry for redress in van.-
But thanks to the greatness of the evils, the
West is becoming aroused on this subject
The evils will through their own magnitude,
provide eventually their remedy. But to
hasten on this time, our voices must be heard.
The late Convention was intended as the
opening call or demand, and we are glad TO
hear that its influence is already being felt
Its proceedings have been copied or noticed
in vast number of papers in the West, and
they will be noticed and remarked upon in
the East. The memorial has been copied in
several papers and will be read in the halls of
Congress, and there doubtless call forth the
opinions of some Of our best and wisest states
men in speeches. The convention will prove
to have been the germ OF great good-it may
be found in its influences, the great lever by
which Congress may be moved into doing
Justice to the West.
