THAT REwARD.-We have been Informed,
from an authentic source, that officer Smith, Of
the Independent Police, Of Philadelphia, has
received two thirds Of the 800 reward offered
for the arrest Of Evans. He refuses to refund
The police here their third Of the reward, on
the ground that Evans was arrested on
peace warrant, and not for the forgery. Evans
was arrested on peace warrant, and, also, by
the same officer, Mr.. Warrington, on Mayor
Giipin's warrant charging Evans with forgery.
Our police could have carried Evans to Phila'
delphia, and claimed the entire reward Of 500,
but they reIinquished their right TO Mr.. Smith,
expecting, of course, TO receive their portion Of
the compensation publicly promised by Mr.
Tentchell. Will Mr.. Smith do tho fair thing

The Prospects in Indiana.


The following extracts are from letter received
in this city yesterday. from gentleman living at
the capital of Indiana:
"You request me TO let you know what think
of Gen. SCOTS prospect in our State. l consider
them good. have delayed my answer until could
hear from much OF it as possible, SO that might
be able to give you correct information. Within
the last few weeks, l have conyersed with persons
from almost every Congressional District in it, and
from all l can gather, from men of both parties,
have no doubt that the Locofoco ranks will cover
and fall before the heavy tread ofthe onward march
of the Old Hero and that he will pass through the
great November battle, he has all he ever yet en-
gagged in, with victory perching upon his banner.
The Wings are united to man, at work shoulder
TO shoulder, and were never more sangulne OF sue
cess. The opposition have tried long and hard to
raise all excitement, but thus far they have not
been able to succeed. What little hurrahing we
have heard was mostly from the boys. They have
finally resoted to poll raising, but in this they have
been signally defeated also. The Wings have one
feet high.
al have also information from reliable sources in
Ohio and Iowa The former the Wings have no
doubt of carrying by heavy majority, and strong
hopes of the latter. The Democrats are daily for
saking their party and coming over to the Scott md
Graham standard. The more they hear of old
.Putipec,' as we call him in this wooden country,
the better they like him; and the more they hear of
the Down East hero, and of his wonderful exploits
in Mexico, the less they like him. Many of the
considerate of their leaders say that it IS hu-
initiating enough to an American to have such a
man nominated over Gen. Cass, but much more SO
to have him elected President over such an old
public servant as Gen. Scott"

Wnro Mass MEETING AND CELEnRATroS.-The

Wings of Baltimore for the celebrations on the l3th
instant of the combined OF the battles
of North Point and Cherubusco, are on an eSten"eu
scale, and will render the occasion brilliant anu
effective one 1t is designed to enlist the partici-
patton of the Wing Clubs of the different Wares IN
the movement, and make the meeting in the even
ing the largest that has ever been held IN baia-
more. The eminent and distinguished speakers
announced and the entire arrangements OF the
souare on the occasion will make the celebration
one of marked importance, and give substantial IN
d;c,tons of the spirit with which the Wings of our
CITY have entered on the campaign.

Discussion in Bedford.

The Bedford Sentinel gives glowing ac
count of the speech made by MIR. A. Rives,
the Wing Elector, at last Bedford Court
Mr.. Rives spread himself to the task before
him; and the result of his effort was best
demonstrated by the delight of the people
who heard him.
Mr.. Tribe, in the absence Of the Demo
cratic Eector, undertook the defence of Lo-
colocoisnl-and accomplished the task as
we'll as could be expected under the circum.
stances.
In separate paragraph from that speci
ally devoted to the discussion, the Sentinel
thus notices Mr.. Rives' comments on our
Joseph:
Gov. JouysoS.-We wish that every man
in the State could have been present. on
Monday last. to hear Mr.. Rives' whitening
denunciaton of the Abolition doctrines Of
the present Democratic Governor Of Virgin
ia. He did not arragn the model Governor
the simple act Of pardoning the slave
Jordon Hatcher; but he reprobated, in the
severest and most indignant manner, the
reasons which the Governor saw fitto assign
for that act. The doctrines of his first mes
sage was so decidedly Abolition and incen
diary in their character, as to produce a
feeling of insecurity and alarm throughout
the entire Commonwealth. So obnoxious
indeed, were those doctrines of their Cover
nor, that a Democratic House of Delegates
had been compelled, in Difference to an
aroused and indignant public opinion to
charactrize them,by arecorded vote upon the
journals of the House, ps''dangerous to our
peace, and tending to produce spirit Of
insu6ordiuation among the slaues.' Mr..
ID i IL ~.
his second message by way of explanation
of the first, he was disposed to consider it as
retracting, to all intents and purposes, the
offensive doctrines of the first, and was will
ling to give him credit for it. But Mr.. Lew
is, of Harrison, the intimate personal friend
and mouth piece Of the Governor, had lately
made speech to his constituents, in which
he declared that the first message, with all
abominable doctrines & sentiments, STANDS
TO THE PRESENT HOUR UNRETRAcTED, UN-
MODIFIED AND uNALTERED IN THE LEAST
PARTICULAR; and that the political friends
Of the Governor intsnded to endeavor to
have the vote Of cens,re against him erp1tng
ed from the records. II, said MIR. Hives,
these dangerous and startling doctrines are
still adhered TO by theIGovernor Of the State,
as Mr.. Lewis emphatifally declares, then he
wonld earnestly advise all the overseers OF
the Commonwealth to arm themselves at
once, and be prepared to resist any attack
which might be attempted upon them by an
insolent and rebelli5us population. His
remarks upon this subject were unusually
powerful and elogueit, and his graphic pic
ture of the bloody trigedies which had al
ready resulted from tie propagation of such
doctrines by the Executive, thrilled the
heart of every reAectitg man with terrible
sense Of danger and darn.

KENTUCKY,

The editor of the st. Louis Ne,,s writes home
from Danville, KY, as follows:
"a word or two on politics. The most pre-
posterous reports ever circulated have gone a.
broad, or rather have originated abroad, and kept
themselves abroad, in regard TO Kentucky in the
present canvass, The Wings of Kentucky go for
Scott and Graham, willingly, warmly, enthusiastic
ally and almost to man, throughout the State.
And the ticket will get more Democratic votes
than did Taylor aud Fillmore. Scott and Graham
will get the vote of Kentucky without the shadow
of doubt and by an old fashioned Wing majority.
A renegade, here and there, only excites the con-
tempt and increases the ardor of the e-hearted
Kentucky Wings"

Our railroad system is progressing moderately WELL
Temperance is on the rise. Our State is being

forth, probably the Presidential election will take

this State by small majority, though Wright will
most likely be elected Governor, owing to his per-
