PrtntIficaI Notices.

The editor of the Illinois State Democrat
recently visited Evansville, and dropped in
upon his contemporaries of the press. He thus
discourses on the subject. We don't thank
him at all for calling US "hatchet faced bach
elor looking gentleman, some twenty-five or
thirty years old" We are satisfied no one
would recognize us by the description. As
for our age, we will not admit a year above
the twenty-five, and only admit that to be
oood-natured When we become "annex-
edn our friend Of the Democrat shall be per-
mitted to extend his sympathy:
While at Evansville few days ago, we
called in at the Journal Office to see the re-
nowned editor of that spirited paper, the
Evansville Journal. We found him in his
sanctum. as we expected, busily engaged in
preparing matter for his paper. but we must
confess that we had formed very crude no
ton about the appearance Of the man. He is
a little Ratchet faced looking gentleman some
twenty-five or thirty years old, though much
of a gentleman. We hope soon to have the
pleasure of knowing that he has annexed
himself to some one Of the fair daughters o.
old mother Eve.
We then called at the Republican office, a
new democratic paper Just started. and found
the editor, Mr. Drew, at his table. Mr.. Drew
is gentleman, and democrat Of the RICH
stripe.
The Republican is paper well deserving
the patronage of the citizens of Evansville
and the surrounding country, it being thu
only democratic paper in the place; we have
no doubt but the Republican will receive tina
support which it deserves. The publisher
will please accept our thanks for their daily il
exchange.

IDLENEss.-No matter what may be the
fortunes or the expectations of young man,
he has no right to live a life Of idleness. In
a world so full as this OF indictments to eXer-
ton and of rewards Tor achievement idle
ness is the most absurd of absurdiIies and the
most shameful of shames. In such a world
as ours the IDLE man is not so much bIped
as a bvaIve and the wealthy which breeds
ialeness, of which the English peerage is an
example, and of which we are beginning to
abandon in specimens in this country, is only
a sort OF human oyster bed, where heirs and
heiresses are planted, to spend a coniempti
bic life of sIothfulness in growing plump and
succulent for the graveworm's banquet.

Assistant Editor,

1t affords us pleasure to announce, mas
much as it is an assurance TO the patrons OF
the Journal, that they will hereafter receive a
better paper than formerly, that we have pro-
cured the services of M. B. HARRELL, Esq,
to assist US in our editorial duties. Mr.. HAIR
RELL is amply competent TO fill his station
with honor to himself and credit to the Jour-
nal. His attention will be particularly devo-
ted to the commercial department, and in this
connection we warmly recommend him to al
with whom business may bring him in con-
tact. AS he has also charge of the Books Of
the Office, with every thing appertaining
thereto, he is authorized to at for the con-
Germ IN our name, in all matters of business
relating to the Journal Office.

Markets. &c.

By reference to the Commercial columns
Of the Journal, it will be perceived that we
port full home and foreign markets. The
home markets have been made up with much
care, aud revised by several of our prominent
merchants Their corrections my he relied
upon We also publish daily the Receipts
and Shipments by river. Yesterday, these
alone amounted to more than column OF
fine type. In addition we daily publish the
steamboat arrivals, and every thing we can
get hold of at all connected with the COM
merce of this place. 1t is matter ofregret
that the arrangements we are now maturing
to make not only good commercial paper of
the Journal, but the best in Indiana, could
not have been affected at the commencement
of the winter season, as that is the most i'm
portant commercial season with Evansville.
But we already had upon our shoulders Ia
hors sufficient to employ two men, without
enterinp upon a new field of labor. We have
now a competent assistant Whose principal du-
ties are connected with the commercial de-
partment of the Journal. This is an addition
al expense, which we hope our friends will re-
pay in an Increased patronage. There are
some difficulties in the way of collecting all
the Receipts at this port, which we hope to
overcome ere long. For instance, large
amount of goods received by merchants
were not noticed. Yesterday the bills oflading
were handed over by the wharfboatmen, i'm
mediately on the arrival of the goods, and il
Is impossible for reporter to call daily oil
all our merchants to learn what their receipt:
have been. In the large cities. which are
ports oil entry, the manitests of steamboat;
are always ready for the commercial report
er, or the arrival of the boats; and thus al
though the receipts may be much larcer thu,
ours, they are collected with less trouble anl
are more complete.

The Cuba Expedition.

In another place we publish communica
ton relative to the Cuba expedition, about
which there has been so much excitement,
and Of which there is still continued talk
The writer appears TO be fully conversant
with the movements Of the Cuba company
and speaks of the expedition like one who
had fully made up his mind as to it's equity
and success. We should like to know some
thing of the strength of this company that is
bent upon conquering Cuba! In the mean
time we will give the writer piece of infor-
nation about this expedition, or PORTION of
those engaged in it, which has not yet ap-
peared in the papers, and may serve some
degree to lessen his confidence. We saw
letter two days back from a gentleman IN
New Orleans, a prominent parsonage in this
Cuba expedition, and who went to N. Orleans
a couple weeks back, there to meet COM
pany making arrangements to start to Cuba.
He says the expedition is broken mp, so far at
least as that portion of it is concerned, and
that he may be expected home soon! We
doubt whether there are many of those
already pledged secretly into this enterprise,
who haye the faintest idea of the difficulties
to be surmounted to ensure success.
So far as we have any knowledge of the
matter, we deem 1t at the best, but poor
speculation. Nor can we regard any enter
prise which has for its object such an inter-
ference with other governments, that our own
would extend its arm to prevent it, did this
government possess the proper knowledge of
such an expedition-as exhibiting that sub
mission to the laws ofthe country which should
be shown by every good citizen. The firm
and decided stand of President Taylor in
crushing the first expedition that was started,
proves that he will permit no such combined
action on the part OF the citizens of these
States. We recollect how the Democrats
abused Gen Taylor for this-and the broad
inconsistency they have shown on the sub
iect At first, they laughed at his fears, and
at the idea such an expedition was forming
but admitted that if there were such an tx
petition on foot, then his action would have
been right. Subsequent developments prov
ed that the President had known much more
than they, and that his decided stand had
nipped in the bud an expedition starting from
this country to interfere with the government
or possessions of another. Forthwith the
Democrats wheel around, and attack the
President for precisely that conduct which
they said would have been right, had there
been such an expedition forming! But th
is only one touch of Democratic inconsis
tency.

u Large quantities of coal are shipping

It's said that nearly one-half of the mem
bers of Congress were once journeymen me-
chanics. lfso, (says the Washington cores
pondent of the Charleston News this is an
interesting fact, and shows what perseverance
can accomplish. These men have become
great, not so much from the facilities for a
common knowledge, which our systems of ed
ucauon afford, as from a selfrelIance which a
sense OF independence confers. 1t has been
truly said that the moment you make man

a consciousness that he is so in all respects.

DEATH BY SPONTANEOUS CoMBUsTIoN.--
Tie following extraordinary occurrence is re-
lated in the Gazette des Tribunaux: "A few
days ago, in n tavern near the Barriere de
'Etoile, journeyman printer named Xavier
c., well known for his incorporate hab-
its, while drinking with some comrades, laid
a wager that he would eat a lighted candle.
His bet was taken, and scarcely had he INTRO
duced the flaming candle into his mouth,
when he uttered slight cry, and fell power
less to the ground. A bIueish fame was seen
to flicker about his lips and on an attempt
being made to offer him assistance, the by
ISLANDERS were horror struck to fnd that he
was burning internally. At the end of halt
an hour. lis head, and the upper part of his
chest were reduced to charcoal. Two med
cal gentlemen were called, and recognized
that Xavier had fallen victim to spontane-
Gus combustion. This confagration of the
human frame is frightfuly rapid in its pro-
gress; homes, skin, and muscle are all devour-
ed, consumed and reduced TO ashes A hand
full of dust on the spot where the victim fell
is all that remains. - Lar. Mercury.

SUR-REBUTTING.-The defendant IN the
kicking case alluded to in yesterdays Journal,
as having occurred the day before between
two young lawyers, informs US that there was
no application of boot toes at all, and that it
was drawn battle so far as honor and in
iures were concerned-and that he did not
have the plaintiff up before Justice, but he
was arrested by the Sheriff, who saw the
fracus. On the other hand the plaintiff de-
clares he did apply the boot toes. As we
have no authority to act as Judge, we let the
matter rest-yet we feel that an apology is
due to the injured parts of the defendant FOL
insnuating that indignity had been offered
thereto.
