wagoned to different points. 1t is complete
in all its parts. and comprises several excel

every thing worked as admirably as if it had

No Party Meeting.

The citizens of Gibson Co., have taken the
right course in regard to electing Delegates,
and the very course we have so strongly urg-
ed upon our fellow-citizens as the true one
for the selection of men Of the proper qualifi-
cations. On the 9th inst, meeting was held
at Princeton. as we learn from the Clarion,
without respect to party. 1t was resolved at
this meeting that the voters of each township
hold meetings to select their Delegates to a
Convention to be held at Princeton on the last
Saturday of March, to nominate Delegate
for the State Convention. This course will
secure an efficient Delegate, and whether he
be Wing or Democrat will make no differ
ence 10 either party. A Committee appoint
ed for the purpose reported the following
amendments to the Constitution as desired by
that meeting:
l. Judges and all other officers to be elect
ed by the people.
2. Corporations to be created by general
act. and the members of the corporation to be
held liable to the extent of their stock. With
respect to the State Bank such measures tc

BOLD RoBBERY.-About O'Clock Tues
day evening, while one of the firm of Bah
cock Bros, was engaged in the Hardware de-
partment of their establishment man enter
ed the door on Water street, and robbed the
drawer of four or five dollars in change. He
then passed on to the counting room, and was
at the safe, which was open, when Mr.. Bah
cock caught sight of him. The scamp saw
he was discovered, and taking to his heels,
made his escape. He got no money from the
safe. He had on roundabout, cap, and it is
supposed from the lightness of his tread, In

least one bold villain in our midst, it becomes
the good people to keep sharp lookout.

Tbe IroquOis Difficulty.

In another place we publish letter sent US
by Messrs. Marsh & Ranlett, New Orleans.
We do so, that they may know we have the
desire theyshould receive full justice-at the
same time we express the opinion, that their
language is utterly uncalled for by the article
to which they ailude. The statements con-
tanned in that article, were given us by two
gentlemen, who had no interest whatsoever
in telling us that which was untrue, knowing
1T 10 be so, and who, so far as veracity is con-
cerned, would by no means suffer by COM
parison with Messrs. Marsh & Ranlett Our
Caro- correspondent, afterward made particu-
lar inquiries into the matter, and wrote us the
result of his investigation, and his letter was
published. His sources of information were
certainly in a great measure from the party
opposed to our New Orleans correspondents,
but then among them were men of high stand
ing and who it is to be presumed would not
pervert the facts, or act in the determined
manner they did only under the strongest in
centives, and under sense of justice. We
lend no willing ear to the tongue ofrumor,
nor are these gentlemen IN the slightest de-
gree iustifable in usirg the expression toward
us. when the article to which they allude, said
the information it contained came from gen
tleman whom we knew. But we do lend an
ear and give mouth to all statements COM
ing from a reliable source, which are Of the
importance or interest of those we published.
The idea, that the most respectable citizens
of Columbus would arm themselves, and as
semble at certain point to intercept steam
er forcibly if necessary, is proof positive that
they felt themselves justified by a great wrong
upon their feIlow-citizens- they certain
ly had the proper means of informing them
selves as to the extent of this wrong, and the
Judgment to decide its remedy. We have
been told that they assembled at Cairo with
aegal wits for the retaining of the boat, and
force was only to be used in case Of resistance

SERIOUS ARRAY NEAR BLUE LICKs.-
We regret to record some unpleasant af-
fairs occurring near Blue Licks the present
week. The facts are reported to US by cit
izen of Maysville who came thence last
night.
On Monday or Tuesday, party of young
men, students at the Military Institute, went
out cunning; and In their rambIes shot some
poultry on the premises ofan old man named
Kennedy. A conflict arose hereupon, IN
which student named Campbell, was
wounded in the breast, but not dangerously,
by charge of bird shot discharged from a
gun. The party bore the young man to the
Licks.
On the night of the next day, the old man,
Kennedy, was assailed in his house by party
in disguise, severely beaten and deprived OF
one of his ears!
We record the unhappy transactions with
unaffected regret and pain.-I waySpi7Ie EG-

The FEELING AMONG THE PEoPLE.-The
New York Sun says: We have just con-
versed with an intelligent gentleman direct
from Texas, who, passing up the Mississippi
and Ohio to this city, has had abundant OPP
portunity for learning the real feelings OF the
Southern people touching disunion. He says
that until he reached Washington he heard
but one sentiment, and that was thorough
scouting and scorn of the base1dea of dissolv-
ing the Union. The South is as firm fer the
Union as the North, and it is only the shame
less buster of demagogues at Washington,
and the bunkum Of newspaper correspond
ence from that city, that give disunien i'm
portance enough to be talked about"

Washington Republic, abiding to Foote and
Clemens's recent predictions, the one fixing
the ''end'' of the Union on next Saturday and
the other kindly conserving to postpone it till
Saturday week, revives as applicable very
good story Of an occurrence on the Mississip-
pi river some years ago. There happened
an accident Of a serious nature to a vessel
descending the river filled with freight and
passengers.~The officer in command came
rushing into the cabin exclaimiug, gentle
men, save yourselves--the boat will sink in

thoric traveller, in all sincerity and earnest

however, whether Messrs. F. and C.'s time
will fare any better than did the definite
time of Father Miller for the world coming to
an end.

~ For the past month, and from our pre-
sent feelings, for the month TO come, we make
a general apology of iIl-health. We have
not had enough experience in sickness, to be
able to make such a paper as we have been
accustomed to doing, at time when we are
called upon to swallow a dose of nauseating
medicine every hour. The idea is entirely too
comical to permit us to be serious. 1t is al
most a good joke anyhow. after arriving tc
our present venerable age without sickness
to be struck down now g in the midst of his
usefulness, yet without leaving any ''weep-
ing vidder and family of small children behind

recover.

CAPTAIN SUTTER.-We find the following
notice of this pioneer in California enterprise,
in the San Francisco correspondence Of the
Rochester On. Y y American:
Capt. Sutter, from his name being asso-
cated with the first discovery of gold, and
from the frequent recurrence of Suffers Fort
and Suffers Mill in the papers, has come to
be regarded as a very prominent and int1uen-
tial man, by most readers Of newspapers in
the United States, but is quite another affair
in California. He is Swiss, Of military ed
ucation who commanded a company OF Roy
al Guards in the French service. and fought
for Charles X. in the Revolution Of July. 49,
30. Soon afterwards he emigrated to Cali
lornia. where he was naturaized under the
Mexican laws, and become large land hold
er, living in kind of state in the midst of
large rancho. with an ample seraglip of
squaws, and exercising the jurisdiction of life
and death at pleasure over the aboriginal ma
tives. Meanwhile for twelve or sixteenyears
his wife and children have been living secIu-
ded in Switzerland, whence they are now ex
pected soon to REIGN him in California. He
is short, dHmpy, thick-set man, with grey
moustache, and what most people might call
fine head; OF fine gentlemany manners, but
| fond ola social glass say SEVERAL of them,
at a time; easily faddled and when fuddled
easily led into the commission OF any act. even
OF those involving his most valuable rights OF
property. He is man who every body likes,
and no body in particular rejects and almost
the last man in California who ought TO be
made Governor.
