We are glad TO hear that there have been no
new cases Of cholera on the canal within a
few days past, and that the contractors on the
two sections where it made its appearance
expect to resume operations early this week.
The accounts published in the Journal, and at
that time on good authority, were somewhat
exaggerated and have resulted unfavorably
; to the prosecution of the work on one or two
: sections. We are glad of an opportunity to
correct even second time any erroneous
statements that may have appeared in our
columns.

very minute search to find even tb~ name oil
Gen. Pierce mentione,--ap1 u Unfortunately
for his name, it capnof be discovered that this
formidable man Ger fought throughout bat
,Io I. opecase an awkward horse (or an
,.vkT-srri rider) prevented him snatching gar
lands from greasy Mexcans. AT another, he
was prevented from participating in the glo-
res won by his companions, by arriving too
late, something in the manner Of Daniel Tuck
er. And again, just as an immortal crown
was about tumbling on his heao. the Gene
RAILS nerves become unstrung by the smell of
powder, sight of blood, or something Of the
kind, and he was borne fainting from the
field" A fatalist might well have conceived,
in view of these circumstances, that the Gen
eral was predestined never to have an oppor-
tunity of striking blow for his country, or
against Greasers. The mighty General prob
ably thought SO himself, for he soon after re.
signed and went Hume.
Had it not been for Gen. Scott, most prob.
ably Gen. Pierce's name would never have
appeared in history at all. We are willing to
give him the whole benefit of Gen. SCOTS
reports, as being almost the only evidence S.
tory presents of his having been in Mexico al
al during the war. Among the Pub. Docs
of 1867, from SCOTS reports we make the
following extracts:

Brigadier General Pierce, efhs divis on, per.
sonaily thrown out OF activity late the even.

fall of his horse - LIZ. Doc. .. SOC.

A Little Plain Talk.

The Democrats hereabouts are beginning
to stir themselves. At least half a dozen OF
their leaders in and about Evansville, are de-
termined to have office this fall, if the Wings
will let them. They have already commenc-
ed work and with two objects--frst, to prove
to the Democracy they are jealous laborers in
the good cause, in the manner of Mr.. P. in
his memorable labors at the Ratification meet
ing, and that therefore they are deserving of
the reward of ofice-and secondly, to stir up
some enthusiasm in the ranks, so that the
Democrats will cast their greatest vote at the
polls. That they care anything for Pierce,
and can create enthusiasm with his name, is
all CANNON, or the rank and file are less sem
sible than we take them to be. But that is
not the object with these gentlemen so off,
cious in establishing presses, raising polls,
and casing about generally among those
whose votes they want and expect to get
They are after office, and while they are de-
luding their Democratic brethren into the
beliefthat they (these Office seekers) are over
flowing with enthusiasm for Pierce and King,
they are very quietly drawing wool over the
eyes of those gullible Democrats, and work
ing for themselves alone. But we don't care
for this. We only wish to remind our Wing
friends, that it is time to awaken from their
lethargy. We can win this county and this
district by proper effort, and the Wings in
other sections believe we can win this State.
The Democrats are at work, and so are the
Wings in nearly every other section of Indi-
ana but the extreme Southern part. Ever
since the last Presidential election, there has
been almost complete and unbroken leth-
argy among the Wings of the First District
II is time now this were broken.
We have better candidate for the Presi.
dency than we had in I64s, and he has q
weaker opponent than had Gen. Taylor
There is every thing in this to inspire us
as Wings, with the proper feeling. Gu,
district is better apport;oned for the Wing;
than it was at that time. There is encour.
agement in this. Our opponents in the
counties are grasping at Offices in such NUN
bers as to weaken their own strength, and by
proper action we can carry the Wing ticket
in three-fourths Of the counties in the dis
uict.
So now let US 60 to work. If we canno
have some resPo-se to our feelings of enthu
siasm, it may not be wondered il we cordial
ly respond TO the Indifference among our par
ty friends. We are getting tired of doinl
all the fighting in this district as we apparent
ly did last fall We have the true Viii
spirit and are Wing all over-born of
Wing father, brought up Wing, and more
over accustomed to being an active, workin,
Wing. We feel nop the true Wing enthusi
asm which appears to be stirring the heart
of our brethren abroad, and we are ready 70
the fight of this campaign, counting opposi
ton and asking no favors, though in decide
ill-health. We are therefore excusable i
wishing the same feeling to spread among on
friends. That's all we have got to say no

WASHINGTON, June &c.


Ny DEAR SIR: Your kind letter has been
received. Itwould be presumptuous on my
part to suppose that any President of the T..
States would, at any time, or under any cir
cumStances, invite me to u seat in the Exc
cutive Council, and equally so to suppose
that the Senate OF the U. States would advise
and conseut TO such q selection. Neverthe-
less, if there be one Wing vote depending at
this election Oh the question you have raised,
will stand on point OF personal delicacy in
the effort to save It. | assure you, therefore,
with entire frankness, that under no circum-
stances which have ever conceived, or Can
now conceive, would | ask or even accept
any public station or preferneDt whatever at
the hands OF the President of the u. States,
whether that President were Winfield Scott,
or any other man | have ever seen or known.
In saying this, am only saying to you what
was well understood as rule oil my conduct
by the late and l.mented President Taylor,
and has been equally well known and UNDER
stood by Winfield Scott, from the first hour
when my preference of himself as the candi-
date in the presenl canvass was fixed.
am truly with great respect and esteem,
your friend and humble servant.

DEATH OF PRIsrER.-A few days ago,
we published the death of printer named
Gabriel, on the steamer Express, of Cholera,
and his burial here by. the printers Of the
Journal Office. We gave his name as J. v.
Gabriel. A letter from his father, living at
Columbus, O., has been received oy those
who took charge of the body here, by which
it appears the body was that of Mr.. o. H. P.
Gabriel, one of the former publishers of the
late Henderson Kentuckian, and worthy,
estiniable young man. We had known Mr..
Gabriel for years, and always esteemed him
as generous hearted aud Industrious young
man. Being sick at home, at the time his
body was put off here, we did not see it, or
we should have recognized il as that of our
oil acquaintance.

Sad Accident

Last Saturday two horses attached to a
wagon and driven by Mr. Geo. Liefandall, a
German, ran away in the upper part of the

the wagon were thrown out, and all more OF
less injured. One of them died on Monday
and a second was yesterday IN precarious
condition. NJ. L. was also very much injur-
ed.
