Evansville Railroaa.

We are gratiied TO learn that the subscrip-
ton to this road is already swelled to an
amount sufficient to warrant the completion
OF the work to Vincennes.-l Tinceanes Gag.
This shows what men can do, when they
try. Last weeks Vincennes Gazette pub
lished the details of railroad meeting held
at that place on the Saturday previous, and
said that on the morning ofthe meeting books
of subscription were opened. The Gazette
of this week makes the above announcement
We have written number Of articles on the
importance Of continuing the Railroad from
Princeton to Vincennes-its Importance both
to the citizens of Vincennes and to the road.
But until few weeks back, we had almost
given up the idea that Vincennes would suf-
ficiently recognize her own interests to assist
in building the road. Now, things have en-
tlrely changed and we see her citizens Illus
trating by something more than mere words,
that they are determined to share the advan-
tages offered by this important Improvement.
There is no doubt but our citizens will prop
erly meet The advances which they have call
ed out Knox county, we know, will do what
she can. If she lay the superstructure ofthe
work ready for the iron, from Princeton to
Vincennes, it will be much as she can do, and
more than some supposed she would be able
to accomplish.

The coat was left, and in a week afterwards

Seven years after that, wealthy man en-
tered the political arena, and was presented
to caucus as an applicant for a Congressional

placo-he heard the name and history of the
applicant, who was a member of the church
and one Of the most respectable citizens. He
was chairman. The vote was tie. and he
cast negative, thereby defeating the wealthy
applicant, whom lie met an hour afterwards
and TO whom he said:

More N-INrERcoURsE.-The medical
students OF Columbia, S. c., to the number
of fifteen, have resolved mot to attend medi-
cal lectures in any northern Institution.
Lou. COur.
Is it possible This number of fifteen, if
the college were at all respectable, would be
but small portion Of those assembled. So
fifteen members of tbs Institute have declared
their intention not to patronize any Northern
Institute! What an effect this must have
upon the progress of learning in the North
We should like TO know what the patronage
of those fifteen students is worth. Do they
pay their board7 Are they good for wash
er-woman's bills2 Really it is heart rending
that fifteen students Of South Carolina should
transfer their patronage from the North to the
South. We hope the North will be able to
survive this terrible affection, because il those
students should patronizc our Northern Insti-
tons, it is very doubtful whether their board
could be collected. They patronize Northern
Institutions Bah! We should pay just as
much attention to the resolutions Of bevy OIL
horse boys, as to the declarations Of these
Medical students. We have not words Of
disgust to tell our contempt. They have re-
solved not TO attend any Northern Institute
Let them first ascertain Mhether any Nor
thern Institute would take them into its body
In our opinion neither student nor colleg'
are entitled to any partic ular attention.

Il vii be recoIlected that the Vanderburgh
County Library is to-day opened to the pub
lie for the first time. 1t will continue open
from 3 to o'clock this afternoon. The Board
Of Trustees have set the subscription price
- low, that no one can complain he is debar-
red The use Of the Library, through poverty.
For fifty cents, any person can have free use
Of the Library one year. And this Library
contains an exc client collection OF books,
adapted to the taste of the student, the lover
of light literature, and even to children, so
that all who can read, may freely subscribe
with certainty of finding an abundance OF
works in this Library which will please them.
Additions will frequently be made by pur-
chase, and We may hope by private contri-
buttons. Let our citizens show they feel an
interest In this means of diffusing knowledge,
by freely subscribing. This Library may be
the means Of insiiIiing into the minds of the
young love Of reading, which must prove
the foundation Of future excellence. Parents
should subscribe for their children. and then
insist upon their drawing books regularly, and
reading them. There will be future re-
ward in this which by the side of money is
Incompatible. We hope to meet many o.
our citizens this afternoon at the Library
room. As Librarian, we promise citizens thai
while we have health, they will always FIND
us at our post most happy to attend TO thei
wishes.

When along the sunset ridges
Golden flowers with flame-like edges
Blossomed ON the fiery hedges
Evening planted in the sky;
Wasting till the light grew DINNER, z
Watching for the faintcs. simmer
CT the star that first should glimmer,
Walked a maiden pensively.
Walked she where brook was flowing,
Where the summer flowers were growing,
Hoping, trusting, almost knowing
She should hear the welcome tone;
Through the fading twilight, cheerful,
AS the shadows deer ened, fearful,
When the night grew darker, fearful
Lo, she kept her watch alone.
When along the sunset ridges
Golden flowers with fiame-like edges
Blossomed on the fiery hedges
Evening planted in the sky;
To palace, fair and slightly,
Where the dancers stefs flew lightly,
And the wine foam sparllled brightly,
Entered ina youth to die.
Entered he with spirit daring,
With.proud and neble. bearing.
Came he forth an aspect wearing
Sadly changed, and worn and dim;
Came he from the fatal alden
With heart by sin o'erladen-
God have pity on that maiden
II her vigil was for him!

Fogs are falling down,
And with russell tinges,
Autumn's doing brown.

By the gusty thieves,
And the Book of Nature
Getieth short Of leaves.
Round the tops of houses,
- Swallows as they fit,
Give, like yearly tenants,
Notices TO quit.
Skies, of tickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and Day together,
Taking half and half.

Cold and most per 5erse-
But the month $ that follow

OIL the part of the petitioners. These petitions
were but family responded to but whatever
may have been the desires of "a majority Of
