APPRENTICES WANTED.

We are DESTROYS of taking two or three
boys of the ages of fifteen or sixteen, to regu-
larly instruct in the Printing Business. Such
an opportunity for learning the business with
out having the usual drudgeries to perform
is not often offered in any Office. We don't
want any boys but who can come we'll recon-
mended for steadiness and industry, and who
can agree to bind themselves to remain al
least four years to tbs business. No boy need
apply whose parents live in the city. We've
had enough of that sort.

CURIOUS ANEcDoTE OF GEN. PIERCE
Everybody knows that Gen. Pierce tainted in
the battle of Contreras, yet how few know
what he did with himself or what was done
with him after he 'keeled over" Some ofhis
brother officers,it seems, are disposed to throw
what light they CAM upon that comparatively
obscure portion of his brilliant history. We
find the following in the last of that highly
respectable paper the Buffalo Express:
Lieut.. w. Brown WHO served in Mexico
under Scott as an officer OF Dras:-ccous; cousid-
eraby astonished the Broadway Hall ratifca.
tion meeting the other evening, by mention
ing that in the battle of Contreras, a friend OF
his, now brevet Captain Thomas Sweeney
had his right arm shattered by a ball; Sweeney
looking about for assistance, saw man in a
neighboring ditch, lodging the enemy's shot.
He went to him and asked him for drink.
The "artiul dodger" handed him up a flask.
Sweeney took it and to his astonishment saw
that the man was Franklin Pierce. Brown
offers to buck up the affidavits of Democratic
officers as to this fact.
Now we would respectfully suggest to Gen
Pierce's admirers whether this act OF their
hero giving away drink while he was squat
ting in ditch with nothing but his flask to
sustain his chivalry in that awful situation
was not even more ''illustrious' than his
putting his hand into his pocket, drawing out
cent, paying for stick of candy and giving
the candy to boy although the boy was to-
tai stranger to him. His friend Gov. Steele
proclaimed the latter as the most ilustrious
deed ofhis life, but possibly his Excellency had
not heard about the drink

Sultana.

This great steamer is advertised to leave
Louisville positively tomorrow, and may be
expected here on Monday. About ten thou
sand dollars worth of improvements have been
made on her, and now she is probably not
surpassed in speed or accommodations by any
other boat on the river She had entire new
boilers substituted for the new ones she came
out with, to ensure additional safety with
greater speed. These boilers are not excel
ed in strength by any on the river, and Will
enable her to let herself out with entire SAFE
ty. The model of the Sultana and her
powerful engines, were designed to make her
a fast boat, but her first boilers could not
make steam enough. She is also provided
with new and larger Doctor, on the latest
plan. Her cabin has also been heightened
by being extended in front and carried out
aft, with various other improvements such as
to make her utterly unexceptionable in every
particular. The Sutana is almost entirely
owned in Evansville, and is a steamer OF
which our city may be proud, and which ouI
business men should delight in patronizing
She will still be commanded by Capt. j. Nj
Martin, an old experienced and popular Of
ficer, with Mr.. III. Mclaughlin first clerk.

The Railroad.

The last No. of the Vincennes Gazette
contained long article on the subject of the
Railroad from Princeton to Vincennes, in
connection with the finished portion of the
Evansville and Illinois Railroad, and other
roads. We lost the paper after merely glanc-
ing over the article, yet we were glad to re-
ceive the impression fromit, that the citizens
of vincennes appear to be at last realizing
the fact that this Railroad is a most impor-
tant one in the influences it is destined to
work upon that city. 1t has always seemed
to us that Vincennes has been losing the sub
stance by grasping at the shadow, in passing
over the important bearing of this road and
lending all her energies to the building of the
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. This road
is easily built, and at but very small expense
to Vincennes, while the other road is a man,
moth project which may not be completed until
years have passed, under even the most ia
vorable circumstances. Which would at last
have the best influence on the prosperity OF
Vincennes, is a matter of doubt. 1t is a
very mistaken idea that because a Railroad
is 800 miles long, it will prove more advan-
tageous to certain city than another which
is only fifty miles long. Now it appears to
US Railroad connecting Vincennes with
the Ohio river at Evansville, with the Ind-
annapolis Railroads at Terre-Haute, and ulti-
mately beyond doubt, with Railroads extend

soon too as the o. and NJ Road can be built)is
likely to assist the prosperity of Vincennes
quite as much as Railroad connecting her
with the upper Mississippi and st. Louis
Moreover as some persons, property holders
too, appear only able to appreciate the value
of Railroad by the worth of its dividends,
we think such road would make much larg-
er dividends than the other.
But we had not intended to discuss these
roads. We only meant, in congratulatine
Vincennes at the sensible manner she now
looks at things, to say that there will be
no delay in completing that portion of the E.
and 1. Railroad lying between Princeton and
Vincennes. 1t viii all soon be let out, and
the work continued rapidly to Completion

DEArH.-Mr E. H. Hoods remains were
inferred yesterday afternoon by the Odd
Fellows. 1t is not often we are called upon
to record the death of a man more generally
esteemed than was Mr.. Hood. Although he
had been a resident of this city but little over
year, he had won the warm regards of all
our best citizens, and engrafted himself into
the full confidence of business men. In this
brief time he established large Book Store
on permanent basis, and in manner opened
a new trade. As an entrprising business man,
honest and capable, he won the admiration
of all who knew him. His enterprise had al
ready been felt in our midst, and much more
was hoped from it. He has left a vacuum
that will be difficult to fill His friends al
Dayton, o. and indianapolis, will hear Of his
death with unfeigned regret.

AN INCIDENT AT CHIPPEWA AND THE RE-

AN INCIDENT AT CHIPPEWA AND THE Re-
sULT-Our Georgetown correspondent has
to-day communicated to us an agreeable lit
tie anecdote. He says that a worthy Demo-
crut from the Old Dominion yesterday called
upon Gen. Scott, and was kindly received, as
is every visitor who approaches him. 81
would have called upon you with pleasure, -
said the guest, "on my own account, but, as
il is, come with message from my father.
He was wlthyou at Chippewa; and when he
fell, severely wounded, you stopped the flow
of blood from his wound with your own hand,
and ministered to his relief. He sends you
his thanks, and the assurance that, though a
Democrat, he and all his Democratic sons
will sustain you on the day when your friends
should show themselves SUCH" General
Scott remembered well the incident and the
man, to whom he returned the kndest assu-
RANGES of his remembrance and esteem. In
reciting this story in Georgetown last night
our correspondent says his Virginia friend
made one convert in the crowd, certain
