The Rev. Mr.. McCarer, Of the Presbyte-
rian Church, is delivering series Of Sunday
afternoon discourses on the Popular Errors of
the Day. We recognize in MIR. McCarer, a
gentleman of ability and fine attainments,
and as such he seems regarded by this COM
munity. Therefore, We think it would be
well for all who can to attend these Lectures.
He is generally fair in his structures, comPre-
hensve, and eloquent at times, in his reason
ings, and correct in his conclusions. He de-
livered discourse last Sabbath. on Fiction
Writings and Readings. We regret not
having had the pleasure of being present.
but his hearers generally seemed to be well
satisfied, although many thought him too Sc
we're. He at least proved that an old hack
neyed subject may be made interesting.

Late from Calirornia.

From the Sacramento City Transcript Of
Oct. 3lst, received at this office, with other
California papers, on Sunday, we make a
few interesting extracts. An account is given
of the enthusiasm dis played on the reception
of the news of California S admission. Among
the deaths by cholera published we recognize
none from this portion of Indiana. Sacra-
mento City appears to be improving very
rapidly. In FL Dorado county there was
great excitement on account Of threateuet
invasion by the Indians. They had commit
ted many murders, and were assisted by ior-
eigners. Companies were organizing. The
Indians were all well organized and mounted.
and had sent their wives and children away
to act more forcibly. The Governor was
urged to send troops Immediately. ROBBIE
ries, murders, and gambling appear 10 be
fashionable at Sacramento City. The Tran
script predicts, it will be but short time ere
steamships will leave weekly for Panama
We make the following extracts from that
paper:

Those Resolutions.

The Convention, although composed of a
large Democratic majority. has been free from
party action. No Democrat has consumed
the time OF the Convention to advance his
party. A Wing President has been sustain
ed by mixed vote of Wings and Democrats.
and the Wing press is out against The action
OF the Convention, because, iorsooIh, promi-
nent Wings have taken a stand against their
President. The people of both parties. will
understand the movement State Sentinel
Some Wing editors do come out against
the action of the Convention in this matter,
but for an entirely different reason fro IN that
placed in their mouths by the editor of the
Sentinel. They consider that the Conven-
ton was losing sight of lis objects in meddng
with affairs OF National legislation, and vast
ing time and money in discussing matters with
which as popular body they had nothing
TO do. Their reasons are those expressed in
the letter Of our Indianapolis Correspondent
to-day, and the evil effects of the discussion
produced by these resolutions, are noticed in
the same letter. The Compromise measures
have already been fully and strongly enough
approved Of by the people, to render resolu,
tons Of approval adopted by the peoples
representatives in this Convention, nugatory
and gratui,ous. What the people can attend
to and have acted upon, demands no further
action from their representatives in whatevel
body they may be found. We doubt wheth
er the SentInel can point TO u single "promi
nent Wing" in the Convention, without hi
be an aboli,ionist, who has taken a s;ans
against the President. II it could. there
would at leas, be some consolation in the fact
that almost every Democrat in the Conven
ton has warmly supported him.

IsIackguardisn.

We give the following paragraph from
dirty little paper published at Natchez as a
specimen OF the arrant and disgusting black
guardism with which some Democratic editors
are in The habit Of assaiing men better than
themselves. Ii is but a paragraph from u
long article against the talented editor Of the
Louisville Journal and il is about as mild and
decent as anything else which appeared in
the article. OF course such an attack but
produces smile of contempt from Prentice,
as it can never injure him at home or abroad.
Just such articles, and even worse, have greet
ed Us at every turn in our editorial life, and
we shall expect them SO long as we do our du-
ty as an editor, and have blackguards for op
opponents. They never produce a thought
of indignation. nor one reflection that they
will nlure US 10 the estimation Of honest men
Their only effect is pity and contempt for in
dividuals, who, unable themselves 10 occupy
place in decent society, and scorned and
condemned by all honorable citizens, take
their revenge in abusive attacks upon those
UNNECESSARILY above them in every attri oute
of worthy men. That blackguard in Match
ez might as well hope to injure Prentice by
such d paragraph as that given below, as
blackguards here or elsewhere anticipate to
de6le our character by SANDER and abuse,
among citizens, some OF whom have known
US publicly for years, and when no man in
the city ever saw or heard of serious charge
against our private or public character ema-
mating from a respectable source. Here is
the extract
1t would be poor revenge, indeed, to cow
hide the miserable cUcKoLD Of the Louisville
Journal, who is as rMPoTENT TO resist Il WHIP
PING as he Is TO perform PRIVATE dutiess-
The degradation that he has tamely submit
ted, and which has become SO notorious in
Louisville, sinks him beneath contempt
Were he not too much deiormed, crippled and
paralysed we would force him for the author.
Stricken by his Maker with the paralysis in
his arm for tie sins which his lying right
land has promulgated Goods will be done y
we do not consider him fit subject tor hui
man chastisement but let him reveal the
real authors, movers and insiigttors Of these
abomnable ialsehoods in Natchez, or else
where in Mississippi, and they shall be at
tended TO in a manner the most ample and
satisfactory"

County Library.


With satisfaction we have noticed the in
terest taken in the County Library by many
Of our citizens, both in the city and vicinity
There are those regularly to be found at the
Library Room every Tuesday and Saturday
afternoons returning and drawing books
Among these are ladies and children. As
Librarian, we welcome them with pleasure,
and would always much rather receive large
number than few. Considering the price Of
subscription is so low. being only fifty cents
per annum. the list Of subscribers is not so
irge as it should be, although probably num-
,ering more than was anticipated as COM
nencement. We urge our citizens, one and
III, TO come forward and aid this good work.
rhe money benefits no individual but is to be
:sed in paying the expenses Of the Library,
nd in the purchase OF more books. AS yet,
ne Library is small, but a new arrival is
tally expected, and it is to be hoped those
itizens who can will make donations to the
Library. This is done in every place where
in public libraries founded, and we hope
Evansville will not prove an exception. We
are all interested in The prosperity of this
newly founded enterprise. Those especially
who have families, or who have kindly feel
ing towards the youth of Evansville. should
feel that the liberal support of this Library,
and thus the more general extension of its
usefulness, is a matter of no small conse-
quence. Many youth may in after lite.
point TO this Library, us the starting poin. OF
his usefulness, and probably OF his great
hess.
1t will be recollected that the Library
Room Is open this afternoon, and every Tues
day and Saturday afternoon.

The Cigar Trade.

The cigar trade of Evansville has become
of considerable Importance. Annually hun
dreds of thousands OF good cigars are shipped
from this place 10 various points in the country,
principally up the Wabash. We see :" Ev-
ansviile Cigars" advertised at different places,
at wholesale and retail. This shows that
the cigars manufactured here, are of a SUI
perior quality. We have not the means at
hand for giving statistics relative to this
trade and we regret it, us they would prove
its Importance is far beyond what is generally
believed. Hereafter in our market reports
We will notice the prices of Cigars.
