New Years. Day.

From time immemorial, the Printers have en-
joyed holiday on New Years Day. Wheth-
they get Christmas or not, New Years Day
they must have. The Carriers, too, on thai
day collect their presents. and can talk mol
think of anything else bnt the all impor-
tant day. We therefore, feel obliged tc
let all hands enjoy themselves on this oc-
casion, more especially as our late acci
dents by flood have so damaged the office
that day of grace is much required to sci
things to rights. There will thus be no Dali
ly Journal tomorrow. After that there will
be no interruption to our regular issue.

The MEssAGE.--The Democrat, issued on
Friday, contained the Presidents Message.
The Editor of the Democrat boastingy says,
it was the only edition of the Message print
ed in Evansville. The Commercial and
Journal Issued the Presidents Message. on
Wednesday, in Extras, which were afforded
subscribers free of charge. The Democrat
gave it in its own columns, thus making the
public pay for it-and two days after it was
issued by the other offices! The Commercial
and the Journal went to the heavy expense
of getting the Message printed at Louisville,
so that it could be issued at an early hour
here. The Democrat made its readers wait
two days, and instead Of giving even full
sheet on Thursday gave half sheet on Fri
day containing the Message! Wonderiufen-
terprise We consider it great enterprise
in the Democrat to publish the Message al
all.

Happy New Year.

OLD 1919 has stepped out, and 1850 comes
in brightly. May tine patrons of the Journal
this year realize many dreams Happiness :
may all our friends garner in joys which they
never knew before. We stand now in the
middle of a century-on one side of U.S. the
greatest half age, that ever human eyes
opened upon-in the future, the greatest half
age that ever manEdreamed Of The age OF
discoveries and inventions and miracles. But
let us forget the age in the year. The new
year has commenced. Let the old years sor-
rows be buried as things of the past-let its
joys brighten the sorrows present and to
come. What is done, cannot be helped-but
It may be remedied. What is to be done,
may be done better from resolutions made
this day. Let this then be a day of good res
olutions. We recommended Christmas as a
day of good deeds.
A happy New Year then to all. Every
year is now big with revolutions and changes
may this year in your individual histories
be only replete with revolutions and changes
for the better-every one tend to the increase
of your happiness-your happiness all tend
to that which belongs to eternity.

BUSINESS AT THE WHARF.-Y esterday
morning there were fifteen steamers at our
wharf: among them there were three Of the
largest steamers in the West-the new Uncle
Sam, Sutana and Aleck Scott--all ST. Louis
and New Orleans steamers. They were I'M
able to get up to St. Louis on account of the
ice. The Uncle Sam started from New Or
leans to this point. She obtained large
amount of pork at this point. The SuItana
and Aleck Scott also obtained good deal Of
freight here. The Oregon was here at The
same time, for New Orleans, and took large
lot of pork. The Patrick Henry, from New
Orleans was here too, with the Diadem ditto.
There never was before so great an amount
of tonnage at this point at one time. The
immense number Of pork barrels, kegs of lard
&C., on the wharf, rapidly disappeared under
the cabined attacks of these great steamers.

FROM NETHERLANDS EXTRA.
SATURDAY MORNING, Dec. 20.
Drowned out!

We issue an Extra tins morning in place OF
the regular Daily. The old roof was taken
off the Journal Office on Thursday. to substi-
lute in its place new one, and the rain Of
Friday night emphatically drowned US out
causing to US much pecuniary loss. The
whole edition of to-days tri-weellly was ruin
ed-message extras spoiled-paper,- presses
and types, generally, thoroughly ducked.-
When we say that it was impossible for as TO
issue aDaiIy this morning, no more need be said
in way Of apology to our readers, or to receive
their full sympathy. On Monday, if the rain
do not continue, the Daily Journal will appear
as usual. The water spfinkles upon our pa
per as we write. Talk about Cairo! The
ram forces US to stop.

the discovery that old Zach is not disun-
ionist.-[ Democrat.
1t would delight the Democrats if they
could discover thatso oftheir leaders were
not disunionsts. Old Zach has fought too
long for his country to ever be suspected of
disunionist principles. The feeling can now
emily be found among those who oppose the
President in all he says and does. fRitch-
lie of the Union is consistent it will now
and hereafter advocate disunion. fit do not,

A. H SANDERS, Eso.,-.Sir:: In your pa
per of this morning, discover that you say
Fit is currently reported that the Wander
burqh Democrat is to be united to the Adj
vertiser, a new Democratic Daily to be issu-
ed in place of the defunct Commercial
Hutchen. lately Of the Henderson Banner, is
also engaged in the concern" &c. When
you fud my name in connection with news
paper it will be quite time to give publicity to
matter similar to that quoted above. | know
nothing OF the " coalition" of which you
speak-the only connection have with any
conce7qa is that OF a journeyman printer,
laboring for hire. Should | at any subse-
quent time engage in the publication ola pa
per here or elsewhere. my name will be known
in it, when you are at perfect liberty to open
your battery upon me. Until then you must
understand that your assaults upon me are
upon one unarmed Judge Of the magma
nimity of such course. | hope you will
publish this note by way of placing me right.
Yours respectfully.
G. w. HUTCHEN.
Mr.. Hutchen is entirely mistaken in think
ing we intended an assault upon him. But
we have no idea he thought any such thing.
He merely wished to draw public attention to
himself by publishing card. We certainly
heard he was connected with the Advertiser,
but think he exhibited proper and delicate
care of his reputation, in thus publicly and
promptly denying his connection. The Adj
vertiser, however, will scarcely view his con-
duct as a compliment. We understand that
even friend Huntington of the Democrat, in
dignantly denies the coalition of that paper
with the Advertiser. Really, if we had
thought our Democratic friends considered
the charge such an Insult, it should never
have been published. If the old Democratic
editors thus give it the cold shoulder, what
will the bone and sinew" ofthe party them
selves do?

This is not the first mares nest, he (San-
ders) has found since he left the iar-famed and
magnificent city of Cairo.-[ Democrat.
Precisely so. We found the Democrat Of
fee, but were astonished to discover in the
nest such a donkey as Huntington. We have
no desire to find any more mares nests'' if
they contain no better broods. Rotten eggs
are preferable.

IPThe Yanderburgh Democrat in an
extra yesterday, alluded to the +" two Wing
DaiIies'' published at Evansville. This is
severe lick at the Advertiser, which pretends
to be a Democratic paper lion in sleeps
clothing. There will be nice time between
the Democratic Daily and the Democratic
Weekly. We predicted that Huntington
would not rest quietly. and submit to another
paper bleeding the Democratic party herea-
bouts at the same time with himself. These
leeches will never hang peaceably to the same
body.
