Unmcrchan.able whisky.

A few weeks since we had occasion to no.
tice the fact that Whisky had been sold in
this market which proved to be musty, or
DAMAGED. Since that time we have heard of
two similar cases, and one of these was sub
mitted to he Chamber of Commerce for adj
iustment, and in another column we give IN
full the proceedings of the Committees t.
whom It was referred The case was sub
m;tted to arbitration, not merely OH account
OF the amount involved, which is unimPor-
tant, but FIR the purpose OF testing the matter,
and establishing precedent.
The decision is one of great Importance
both TO the dealers in, and manufacturers oil
the article. The Committees lit was carried
up to the Committee of APpeals,) have deci-
ded that sellersare responsible when they sell
Whisky without having an understanding re-
lative to its quality, which may prove un-
merchandise. the question was also de-
cided that Inspectors, under the General In
spection Laws Of the State, are required
merely to ascertain the proof of the Whisky
and the capacity of the barrel. The result
of this decision viii be, we suppose, that here
after WHISKY will be sold for what it may
be, whether ''rottcn," or sound with the
understanding that the purchaser shall have
no recoArse upon the seller unless when the
seller NAV know the article to be prime,
and be willing to guarantee it, and the latter
will, of course, command the highest price.
This arrangement will, we think, eflectually
provide gainst the difficulties that have
heretofore existed.
Upon the several points decided by the
Committees there are, We are aware, different
opinions, but our own impression is that the
decision is correct. Whisky is al article
which enters largely into our commerce, and
it should not be exempt from the control
exercised over other commodities by the Civil
Laws, and the Laws established by custom,
because, i'll its use, it becomes by abuse
curse 70 the community. So long as it is
an article of trade, the manufacturer should
not be allowed adv, n ages over purchasers.
1t is very certain that Whisky is frequently
made ont of rotten Corn, and also, that it is
often damaged while passing through The
process of distillation. An extensive distil
Ter admitted, a few days since, that he had
used Corn 50 rotten that Hogs would not
consume the slop: An article manufactured
in this way must be inferior, and the seller
is no more entitled to Il full price for it
than miller is to the price of superline
Flour tor fine. 4 law or custom that would
enable a manufacturer to pass it off as prime,
and compel the purchaser to suffer al loss,
would be Unjust Gin. Price Carreat

WING Meeting.

The Knox county Wing Convention met
on the l4th inst. at Vincennes, for the pur-
pose of nominating Wing Ticket for the
county, and selecting Delegates to the Con-
gressional convention to be held at Peters
burgh on the 10Th. John Il. Freeland was
declared the nominee of this convention for
Representative; Thos. ]. Beeler for Sheriff;
John NJ. Cooke for Treasurer; James Poke
for County Commissioner; and VIM. Miller,
for Coroner.
The meeting presented the name of Hon.
T. N. CARNAN for consideration of the Dis
trict Convention. Delegates were appoint
ed and appropriate resolutions passed. The
Wings of Knox appear to be pushing on the
good work in the right spirit. There is a
hearty response from this county, and who
ever may be nominated by the Convention
for Congress, we hope every county in the
District will lend him hearty support.

The Nomination.

The Wings, if they select strong man to
run for Congress-, have better chances for
success the coming election, than they ever
had before probably, in the First District of
Indiana. We hope this fact will be Impress
edupon the mind of every Delegate to the
Petersburgh Convention-that our prospects
are such only with strong man, man who
is popular over the ,chole district, or objection
able in no county in the District. 1t is to be
hoped every Delegate will lose sight of his
personal predictions, and labor for the good
of the rchole party. To nominate man who
is almost certain of defeat, would be an
unkindness to the individual himself, and an
injury to the party. We do not pretend to
say who is, or who is not the right person.
but we think the Wings about to convene at
Petersburgh cannot be too cautious in their
selection. We have heard one or two names
suggested for the nomination, which would
just as surely bring defeat upon the Wing
party, as they are nominated, and one or two
others with whom the Wings of the First Dis
trict would march to certain success. All
,rs ask as editor of the Journal, is, a man
with whom or for whom We can fight with a
light heart and good will, knowing that strong
work will most certainly elect him. So now
let US know his name quick as possible.

Scott Club ElD.

Through the kindness. of Mr.. Crawford
Bell, the Young Mems Scott Club OF van
derburgh county, have obtained large
comfortable and centrally located room, Tor
the regular meetings of the Club. 1t is
fine new brick warehouse, standing In the
middle of the square diagonGiiy fronting the
Court House. Fhis building will afford am
pie accommodations for the anticipated large
meetings. The President Of the Club is now
getting benches put up, speakers stand, &c.
preparatory to opening the Hall with the
Club neat Saturday night. A number OF
seats for the ladies' are being prepared, and
we hope they will often grace the house and
gladden. the Club by their presence. We un-
derstand multtudes of ladies were accustom-
ed to attending the Wing meetings at the old
Salt Shed, last Presidential Campaign, and
we hope they will again become enlisted in
the good cause. The season is now OPEN
ing, and the Wings are in the right spirit
Roll up your sleeves, for we've got big
ball to keep moving, but it is now getting
started finely. Go to the Scott Club Hall
next Saturday evening!

Wing Convention.

The Wings of Louisville contemplate hav-
ing mass meeting at louisville on the 14th
of September, in commemoraton of Gen.
SCOTS triumphant entree at the head of his
army into the City of Mexico. We have
not yet heard any of the preliminary arrange
ments, but if the idea is carried out, we PROM
Use the hospitality of the citizens Of Louis
vile will be sorely tried to accommodate the
hosts of Wings who will centre at that spot
on the l4th. Say the word, and big dele
CATION will represent "the Pocket of Indi-
ana.
The Louisville Journal alludes to the fury
of the Democratic press ut the great Wing
mass meeting at Niagara, and to their asser-
ton that Democrats make no parade or show.
The Journal wants to know what they could
possibly make u parade about. 1t however
says, that if they must do something in that
line, to balance the Wings it will awake some
suggestions, and goes on to say:
When we celebrate the anniversary OF the
battle of Chippewa, let them celebrate the
anniversary vi the day when Gen. Pierce put
his hand III his pocket and pulled out cent
and gave stick of candy to boy who was
a total stranger to him. When we celebrate
the anniversary of the bate of Lundy's Lane
let them celebrate the anniversary OF the
day when Gen. Pierce emptied his pockets
OF twenty-five cents to pu. chase Sunday
school library for his native town. When
we celebrate the anniversary OF the battle OF
Queenstown, let them celebrate the anniver-
sary of the day when Gen. Pierce rewarded
the love and affection oil his father by spelling
the word "but' for him. When we cele-
brate the anniversary of the taking OF Vera
Cruz, let them celebrate the anniversary OF
the day when Gen. Pierce, although he wa.
in the company of two gentleman OF the
South, shook hands with a man in plain
dress Just as if the the man had been his
equal. When we celebrate the anniversary
OF the battle of Cerro G0rdo, let them cele-
brate the anniversary of the day when Gen.
Pierce declared at New Boston that he felt
loathing OF his heart at seeing fellow
creature in bondage and a revolving OF his
soul ut the bare idea OF giving W fugitive
slave. When We celebrate the anniversary
of the battle of Chu-ubuscO, let them cele-
brate the anniversary of the same day as
being the day OH which General Pierce fain-
ted and fell, few yards from the seTe-
rest fire of the enemy" When we cele-
brate the anniversary Of the battle of Cha
pultepec, let them celebrate the anniversary
of the same day as being the day on which
Gen. Pierce was too sick to fight. When
we celebrate the anniversary OF the battle
of Moline del Rey, let them celebrate the
anniversary of the same day as being the day
on which Gen. Pierce marched bravely to
the scene of conflict and arrived there in
very little more than one hour after the
fighting was all over. Now we feel that
we are entitled 20 ct least Il vote OF thanks
from all the Democratic leaders for these
suggestions, but, if they don't choose to thank
US, they may let it alone-aud be hanged to
'em.

District of Indiana. From the sounds OF
preparation there will doubtless be large
meeting. The Delegates from Vanderburgh

represent Vanderburgh county in the Dis
trict convention, are as follows; some changes

Wholesale Dry.Goods House.

We understand that the large Dry-Gcods
House to be opened in Mr.. Ladd's splendid
new building on First street, will soon be in ope-
ration. The firm have already shipped great
quantities of goods from New York, so as to
be here in full time for the Fall trade
These goods, comprising Dry-Goods, Boots
and Shoes, &c. have been purchased express
ly for this trade, ard will prove an additional
inducement to bring and keep the custom of
country traders to this point. We are graf
fled to understand Mr.. Jon. Jaquess, of this
vicinity, and who has friends scattered all
over this region of country, is member OF
the new firm. He has just arrived from n.
York, and says the house will he opened in
very brief time.
We have insisted, even when the induce
ments for country trade were not half so
great as at present, that the Evansville mer-
chants could make it to the advantage of coun-
try traders to visit this city to purchase their
goods; and that those who do purchase of
Evansville merchants once are very apt to
continue their custom. Since then, new es-
adjustments have started, and with ev ,ry
one additional inducements for the country
trade are brought out by competition, and the
display of larger stocks for the examination
of customers. The Dry-Goods trade of Ev-
ansville has lately been assuming an impOr-
lance, which has already made it great bu-
sness interest of the city. Every new house
increases this Importance, and every inte-
rest of the city connected with the trade

GEN, sco,,.s Eloouence,

The New York Times gives the follow
ing specimens of Gen. SCOTS eloquence.-
Brevity has been pronounced the "soui of
wit" and in some cases it is the soul Of elo-
quence. If eloquence may be judged by is
effects, certainly the effects of the following
speeches pronounce Gen. Scott most elo-
quent man. The N. Y, Times says:
Ifeloquence be not mere rhetorical flourish,
but efficient speech, at the right time and at
the right place, let us see how Gen. Scott
stands the test. At Chippewa, at critical
moment of great hazard, Scott delivers this
speech to the brave Eleventh.: "The enemy
say we are good at long shot, but cannot
stand the cold iron! | call upon the Eev-
enth instantly to give the lie to that SANDER,
Charger The British army broke and fled,
and the reputation of American troops, not
only for unerring aim, but for valor in the ter
rife bayonet charge, was settled forever.
If this was not eloquence, Oh what page of or
atory can it be found!
Take anoter instance. At Queenstown
Heights, when 800 Americans were, contend
ing with 1900 British and Indians and COM
plete humiliation seemed inevitable, Scott
mounted log, and delivered, to his troops
the following Grafton: 1.-The enemies balls
begin to thin Our ranks. His numbers are
overwhelming. In moment the shock must
come and there is no retreat.-We are in the
beginning of a national war. Hull's ''surren-
der is to be redeemed. Let us then die arm
on hand. Our country demands the sacrifice.
The example will Mt be lost. The blood
of the slain will make heroes Of the living.
Those who follow will avenge our fall and
their country's wrongs. Who dare to stand!
And the gallant audience shouted, unanimous
| ly,"All!" Search the speeches of Pericles,
Demosthenes, Cicero, Pitt, Fox and all the
heroes oil the tongue, for speech of equal
compression and power. We know of no
| speech of the same length SO freighted with
meaning. Every sentence is battery. The
whole subject is covered, and all appropriate
considerations presented to encourage and
animate the little band that stood before him.
If this is not eloquence, strike the wore from
our vocabulary.

LARGE SNAKE FAMILT---A few days since,
as Mr. S. Perkins was moving near Rocky
Pond, Mess, so called, in the westerly part
ofHollis, he was: attacked by huge water
snake, which sprung towards him, following
him to some distance, lashing the ground with
his tail, and Kissing fearfully. With some
difficulty Mr. p succeeded in transfxing the
snake with his scythe, and finally dispatching
it. This snake measured four feet in length
and fifteen inches in circumference. After
removing the scythe, 56 young snakes crawl
ed from the wound, averaging some more than
six inches in length.
