Zen. Pierce being expected tn arrive at

following is Gen. Pierce's reply declining
the proposed reception:
CONCORD, IN. H..) Feb. $. 1855.
My Dear Sir: had the honor 10 receive
yeur letter Ut the 4th instant. and w3h it
copy Vt the proceedings Of the city au-
thorities Of New York. inviting me to ac-
-cept the hospSs~s,%;esus yne ely, Oa my

you to communicate to the Mayor. and the
coordinate branches Of the City Govern
mcnt, for their marked Kindness and prof
fered hospitality, my grateful acknowledge
ments.
Under these circumstances it would
have been extremely pleasant to avail my
self ot the opportunity gracefully rendered
to exchange salutations with the citizens
Of the great emporium Of our country. and
to thank them for the decided manifesto
tions Of partial judgment with which but
few weeks since. they were pleased to
honor me. But, with a weight at my
heart which has we'll nigh disqualified me
for the discharge Of pressing duties connect
ed with their interests, l am sure they will
hardly expect my consent to any thing
like public reception on my way to
Washington. Suffering to some extent
from the want Of usual health and elastic
ity, | need repose, and have full conf
dence that my friends will cousiderateiy Y
accord to me, as far as practicable, seclu-
sion.

Rather Unfair.

The "local" of the State Journal is rather
disposed to quarrel with the Evansville Jour.
nal, because wo did not like the names he
gave some apartments or caverns of the
Wyandotte Cave on the occasion of a late Wis.
it. Really, if our taste is different from an
other mans we should not be abused for a
difference as much his fault as our own. II
one Informed taste compelled.us to think In
dianapolis Journal Office "Gen. SCOTS Re-
ception ROOM" &C., were not very appropri.
ate or beautiful names for apartments in this
great cave, the aforesaid "locar' ought to
pounce into Dame Nature, and give her 9
good walleping for implanting such taste in
us. We presume the owner of the Cave
fiatters his visitors, especially distinguished
editors, by permitting them to name the dif
ferent apartments, thus sending them home
with the happy idea, that some of their orig
inalty will be handed down to posterity il
guide books and travellers note books B,
this policy he has secured some "iirst.rat
notices" it is true, but we fear he has ruined
one admirable local editor, by making hin
''too big for his breeches."

rhe Coal Boat Accident.

The "Pick and Pow," published al
Hawesville, KY, is much mistaken in blam-
ing the officers of the Empress for the des-
truction of the Hawesville coal boats a short
time since. The paper says:
"They. had descended about ten miles when
they met the steamer Empress at an early
hour in the night, and, Notwithstanding, the
crew had out lights, and shouted to the ut
most extent of their lungs, the pilot either
wicked or negligently, run over pair of Ira
bue's boats, drowning G. Vanhise, the chief
and two or three OF the
crew. The body of but one has been found.
A reward of twenty-five dollars is offered
for the body of Vanhise."
"This barbarous destruction of life and
property, whether wickedly or c irelessly COM
mitted is without parallel in these latter days
land we sincerely hope that vengeance OF
the law may be meeted out to the guilty &C
cording to the turpiiude OF crime"
Our Information was received from the pi.
lot on one Of the coal boats in company
The accident occurred in a severe squall ol
wind, the night was very dark, and the boats
were in bend oil. the river, The coal boats
were dashed together, and had only one ordi-
nary lantern as light. The Empress came
around the bend suddenly, and in the squall
and darkness, the collision was utterly una.

The Louisville Times makes a sad COM
plant of the dereliction of duty in the Dem.
ocrats of Kentucky. in the late election for
members of the Legislature. In the course
ofits remarks the following language is used:
"The politics Of our State were in such a
crisis that it would be in the power of the
Democrats, with a majority in our Legisla-
ture, to fix the party complexion Of the State
perma nently Democratic; whereas, should
the Wings secure majority, they would as
suredly and relentlessly exercise their power
to place the Democracy st the greatest pos
sible disadvantage, by gerrymandering the
State and by every other means adapted 20
perpetuate their own ascendancy."
If the Wings should be guilty of this con-
duct, as we have no thought they WILL the
editor of the Times should not complain
He says in plain and unmistakeable language
that it would be in the power of the Demo-
Gratis, if they succeeded, to fix the party COM
plexion Of the State permanently Democratic
How else could this have been done but by the
basest system of gerrymandering-ak kind OF
Ohio Locofoco system! The Times knows
the Wings have the majority on a popular
State vote; yet according to the Times, the
Democracy would have had it in their power
to fix the party complexion oil the State per-
manently Democratic. No one doubts but
thew would have used this power to its ut
most extent, as their party has done in otheI
States. But thanks to the good sense ant
sound judgment of the people of Kentucky
the Democracy has lost this one glorious op'
portunity of displaying the corruption o
their leaders.
