A Veteran.


A few days since we received visit from
an old gentleman named Knight of knight
township who presented us with some oil the
finest apples we have seen this season. He
was very deaf, but his tongue was by no
means dumb, as he told Of the olden times in
this region. He has hunted buffalo where
Evansville now stands, and has seen herd; OF
them in this neighborhood. When boy, he
was captured by the Indians, and another
lad at the same time made prisoner. He re-
manned in captivity two years and half, and
probably he and his companion killed more
Indians than any other two persons in the
West! But they did not do it Voluntarily
Soon after their capture, the Small Pox,
which they had caught before, broke out on
them. 1t Immediately spread among the
Indians, who directly they were seized with
The fever, according to their way of docioring,
plunged into the river, which with this dis
case was death. They died in immense
numbers, and bitterly were they repaid for
capturing the boys. Mr.. Knight still looks
strong and hearty, and us if he yet might
hunt buffalo. He is good citizen, good
Wing, and goes in Tor the Journal, of which
he is an old subscriber.

was awarded TO Horace Greedy, Esq, of the
New York Tribune. The cup will cost one
hundred dollars and will be covered with FL
egant designs, relating to commerce and trade.
We make the following extract from the
prize essay:
To the merchant or dealer wl.o is sure of
his ability TO fill orders the most iavorab bic
terms. the attainment Of an adequate publ
city is matter Of primary concern. If his
circle of trade is properly the county in
which he lives, then he should take etfectual
measures TO let every family in that county
know what he sells, and on what condition.
IL is idle to speak of the cost as an impedi-
ment-he might as well object to the cost of
sheItering his goods from bad weather; pro-
tecting them from thieves, or dealing them
out to customers. ALI the other cost of his
business is incurred without adequate motive
or return so long as this essential element of
his business is neglected or scrimped. If his
location and his stock only entiIle him to ex-
pect the custom Of his own township or neigh
borhood. then he si,old incur the expense Of
fully informing that locality. Just SD with

creas es his expenses for rent, lights and fuel,

aggregate sales, and renders it morally inn
possible that he should sell rs cheapy as his
more enterprising and capable rivals. In ei.

Princeton and Mt. Carmc, Plank Rond


The citizens of Princeton appear to be stir
ring in relation TO a Plank Road from that
place TO Mt. Carmel, as may be seen by the
following article from the last number of the
Princeton Clarion:
1t is proposed to hold meeting at this
place on the first day Of! the next term of our
Circuit Court. for the purpose of taking into
consideration the proprieiy of constructing a
plank road from this place TO Mt Carmel
Ii is expected that Evansville and Mt. Carmel
will both be represented.
We look upon this enterprise as one Of
great importance TO the people Of this COM
mun,y. The itercoursc between this place.
and Mt. Carmel is entirely cut off for several
months in the year, in consequence Of bad
roads. A Plank Road will remedy this in
convenience.
The trade for a large portion of Southern
! Illinois will pass over this road in search OF a
market. The great amount of water power
offered by the Grard Rapids, Immediately
above Mt. Carmel, must in few years make
that place large manufacturing town. The
business destined to be done on this road will
make it n profitable investment of Stock. in
dependent of other important advantage. to
the people along the line OF this route.

81 Lei her SlideN

South Carolina is again furious; her peo-
pie are in n rage not dissimilar to that occa-
stoned by the notification excitement of 1881
and '32. Hatred to the North and hostility
to the Union, seem to be the war-cry. This
evidently is no newborn spirit II is re-
awakened animosity-a maligniiy which for
time, found disturbed slum''er.
Mr.. Rhett, who, since the death Of Jno. C..
Calhoun, has succeeded in rendering himself
somewhat notorious, threatens to unfurl the
banner Of disunion, TO protect tie Interests Of
his State. He discovers no value in the
Union, and advocates lis dismemberment.-
The present he thinks, no doubt, favorable
crisis for the accomplishment of such pur-
pose. He evidently believes the South with
one simultaneous uprising will join him and
South Carolina in the damnable design -
But, admitting the existence Of all the gen
erous sympathy and affection which one slave
State may reasonably claim from ano,he-,
we are not satisfied that such cooperation
is promised. 1t will not he given.
In Alabama the violent disunion sentiments
of the leading men of South Carolina are
held in merited contempt. A feeling of in
dgnation, that these men should presume to
control in events Of vital Importance to the
whale South. is at once manifest. They are
justly accused of arrogance-oi contempt for
the voice dsesbers; and from those they ex-
Hcted encoufS ment. in many instances,
are siying the mos whitening rebukes.
Soutf<SGna is tumor on the body of
the Union. SheAas aimed repeated blows at
the foundation Of Dur happiness and prosper
ity; she would rend that coniederacy which
Washington and the firm old patriots of his
time labored to establish, and entail on us,all
the miseries such an event only could bring
she would destroy the relations of peace
which have so long existed among the differ
snt quarters of our country, and array one
part against the other in merciIess, savage
war. She is dissatisfied with the Union
the Union should be dissatisfied with her.
Let her leave it, We say, but not attempt to
drag with her the unwilling South. She is
fire brand among US, and should be pui
out!
