Plank Roads.

The notice we gave yesterday OF the lettlhg
ofthe principal work on the Evansville and
Princeton Railroad should admonish our
friends in neighboring towns, that there Is
now another inducement for connecting them
selves by Plank Roads with Evansville. Ev-
cry new avenue of trade opened to this city.
increases the importance of this connection,
A short time back, there was some excitement
in several towns in this neighbOrhood, rela-
tive to connecting themselves with Evans
vile by Plank Roads. But lately we have
heard nothing on the subject, and have been
told that there Is but little talk about these
roads at the towns alluded to. Nothing more,
we should think, would be needed to bring
the subject of these improvements strongly
before the minds Of the citizens interested,
than the present condition of the roads lead
ing to Evansville. During the winter there
was but little communication between neigh
boring towns and tins place, the roads being
almost impossible. Every farmer having
produce to bring to market must have felt the
necessity for good roads. This same incon-
venience and injury will be felt next winter,
unless some provision be made in the way of
Plank Roads. The town that first connects
by this kind of public improvement, will have
a great advantage over other communities.
The citizens, and farmers on the route, can
take immediate advantage of any favorable
change in the markets, or receive merchan-
disc, &C., speedily and cheaply. But the ad-
vantages are too apparent to require partc-
ularizing. We only hope that they will be
realized in their full force, by those interested,
and immediate action taken to secure their
benefit Plank Roads, are emphatically ''the
Farmers Road" and all that farmers on the
line of their proposed routes can do to build
such improvements, will be money, time and
labor, put out to good interest.

ScantIIn,s Foundry.

Last Thursday afternoon we took walk
with Mr.. Thos. Scantlin to his Foundry on
Main street, near the canal. Mr.. Scantlin is
largely engaged in the sale of stoves, &C., the
principal part of which he is now manufac-
turing himself. There are three Boundaries
in Evansville, but we believe this is the only
one engaged in tie manufacture of stoves to
any extent. 1t was erected last August and
has been steadily in operation almost ever
since, and with a rapidly increasing business.
Jobs of different kinds are executed to order.
The proprietor is now filing an order for four
hundred plough shares, which order was made
by gentleman doing business in the interior
of Kentucky. At the time of our visit, the
hands were engaged in running" stoves and
other work, for which there were long rows Of
moulds, filling the whole foundry allotted to
them and showing the extent Of operations
as the foundry blasts every other day, and
this was thus one third of the weeks work.
The furnace was roaring, the liquid iron hiss
ing, the men hurrying about busily, the en-
CINE going it with a rush." and all things
giving evidence of prosperity. Mr.. Scantlin
employs fifteen hands. He intends building
an addition to his foundry seen.
The stoves manufactured at this foundry
are of the latest styles, and heavier made
than those brought here from Cincinnati gen-
eralLv. Evansville will soon be manufactur-
ing a great many OF the articles now imported
to this city in such large quantities. A vis
to Mr.. Scantlin's viii certainly repay tn
walk.

The Camp Meeting continued, and re-

since was witnessed in the forest of Texas.
But unfortunately on the last day of the ex-
ercses news arrived on the ground that a
Ineighboring farmer had been murdered. and
his wife and children carried away prisoners
by the Indians.
The yonng missionary sprang into the pull
pit, and proposed the immediate organization
of company to pursue the savages. The
suggestion being adopted, the mover himself
was elected to head the party. After several
days of hard riding they overlook the barbar-
Gus enemy in the grand prairie. The mis-

A DESERT BANoUET.-The trappers were
now devouring their horses and mules at the
rate OF one every alternate day; for so poor
were the animasl, that one scarcely furnish
ed an ample meal for the thirteenth hungry
hunter. They were once more reduced to
animals they rode on and. after a fast of
twenty-four hours duration, were debating
upon the propriety of drawing lots, as to
whose Rosinate should fill the kettle, when
some Indians suddenly appeared, making
signs of peace on the Bluff. and indicating a
disposition to enter the camp for the purpose
of trading. Being invited to approach they
offered few dressed elk-skns; but being
asked for meat, they said that their village
was long way off, and they had nothing
with them but small portion of some game
they had lately killed. When requested to
produce this, they hesitated; but the trappers
looking angry and hungry at the same mo-
ment, and an old Indian drew from under his
blanket several flaps Of portable dried meat,
which he declared was hears. 1t was but a
small portion among so many but being di-
vided, was quickly laid upon the fire to
Ibroll. The meat was strinoy, and of a
whitish color, altogether different and unlike
any flesh the trappers had ever before eaten.
Killbuck was the first TO discover this. He
had been quietly masticating the last portion,
the strInglngS Of which required more than
usual dental exertion, when the novelty of
the favor struck HIM as something singu-
lar Suddenly his Jaws ceased their work,
ne thoughta moment took the morsel from
his mouth. looked at it intently, and dashed
1t into the fire.
"Man-meat by heavens!" he cried out;
and at the word every jaw stopped its work
the trappers looked at the meat and at each
other.
ppm dog-bone lift amt" cried old Walk
er: looking at his piece "and white man at
that-waugh !" (and report said 1t was not
the first time he had tasted such vlands) and
the conviction seIzing every mind, every
mouthful was quickly spat into the fire. and
the fire of the. deceived whites was instantly
turned upon the luckless providers of the
feast. They saw that storm was brewing,
and with more ado turned tail from the camp,
and scaled up to the bluffs, where, turning
round, they fired voIIy of arrows at the
trcked mountaineers, andinstantIy disappear

Medical College.

By advertisement, it will be seen that the
Commencement of the Medical College will
be held this evening at the Mthodist Church,
when the degree Of Doctor of Medicine will
be conferred by Judge Battell, President OF
the Board of Trustees, upon such of the stu
dents as by the proper examination have been
found qualified. As the exercises will be in
teresting, a large attendance may be expected
Mr.. Blythe we understand. will deliver an adj
dress.
This closes the first session of the Evans
vile Medical College. The number of stu
dents attending the class during the session
was about thirty, who seemed well pleased
with their Professors, and the Institution gen
orally. We may here remark, that during
their brief residence among US, they have con-
Quoted themselves like young men feeling
that they in manner were the representa-
tives of a worthy institution, which would in
some degree be judged of by their conduct
They have been orderly in society, and atten-
tive to their duties in the College-which
make them an exception to most other class
es of Medical students. They will carry with
them to their homes, the good wishes of our
citizens and we hope the majority OF them
will again visit our town next winter.
The second session of the Medical College
will commence next November. 1t is antici
pated that there will be nearly one hundred
students in attendance. Our citizens should
feel themselves called upon to render the
Trustees of this institution assistance in their
laudable endeavor to found standard Col
lege at this point. The Trustees and Pro
fessors deserve much praise for the energy
and perseverance exhibited thus far in start
ing and continuing the College. The PROBES
sors, especially, have always been at theil
posts and privately and pRblicly labored
zealously to securely found the institution
Theirpresent college building is great draw
back to their efforts. II is inadequate to the
purpose in every particular or will be with
the large class anticipated. We have the
wealth in Evansville to erect suitable build
ing if a little well-timed iberality were mani
tested by certain of our citizens A standard
Medical College at this place, would be Of
great benefit to tie city, and be the means OF
the establishment here in a short time, of a
large Hospital
As an evidence ofthe success Of the Inst
tuition, we may remark, that the Professors
will soon commence the issue of a monthly
Medical Journal, in pamphlet form, of goot
size and handsome appearance.

DAGuERREoTYPEs.-M Telga's room is
now crowded with ladies every bright day,
and he is kept busy beautitying his plates
with their countenances. His daguerreotypes
are all good, and utterly unequalled by the
works Of other artists who have formerly Wis
itedl this city. Mr. T. has been induced to
remain longer than he had anticipated by be-
coming at a late hour appreciated,yet he will
continue operations IN this city but short
time longer. Let all, therefore, who wish to
be handed down to posterity in their natural
beauty or ugliness, drop in at Telga's at Mel
sons residence up Main street.
