When the Pierce administration gets thro'
with its decapitation of Wing officials, which
may be expected in the course OF year, it is
to be hoped development of the future poll
cy of this admi. istration will gradually take
place. At the present time, Washington is
still beseged by hungry Locofocos of every
stripe. During office hours, the heads of de-
partments appear to be engaged in the sole
consideration of contemplated appointments.
Out of Office hours, they are lodging Office
seekers, or else, when cornered, receiving
from them petitions, recommendations, ma
king or escaping promises, &c. In the mean
time, business of all other kinds seems lag
ging. Nothing has yet been done to remedy
the evils Of the mail service. Our govern.
ment has been worse insulted than ever it
was when Fillmore was in power. Ameri-
can vessels have been fired into and searched
by British vessels-yet, busly engaged in
chopping off heads, the Cabir ct have discov-
cred in this pasiime something apparently
much more agreeable than the boarding of the
British lion, and tedious scrutiny into GER
tain aft .irs. Almost every thing yet done, ex-
cept the indscriminate removal of officers of
opposite faith, has been in imitation of Mr..
Filmore's policy. Notwithstan ing the in
nocent and unaffected horror with which Lo-
cofocoism regarded AL things in connection
with the late administration, it is pleasant to
see that party now acknowledge the practc al
wisdom of Mr.. Pierce's predecessor. If the
President will only continue to permit HIM
self to be guided in this manner, we may look
for sound American policy in his admnistra-
ton. But just SO soon as he throws h mself
upon the limited resources of his own wisdom,
and permits the tilibustering voice of Loco
! foco mobocracy to reach his ears and control
his actions-he will find himself in whirl-
pool of dangers. The people, however, would
be glad t, see the remaining Wing official
heads Topped off as soon as possible, as it seems
necessary for the job to be done before much
other work can receive attention. In the
course of a twelve month, probably, our mail
system aud foreign relations may claim the
serious consi1 Iteration of the powers that be.

Great Barbecue.

There is to be greet Railroad Barbecue at
Henderson, OH the 22d of next month, at
which time and place the ground will be
broken on the Henderson and Nashville Rail
road. Although the published notice only
invites citizens along the line of the Road to
attend this Barbecue, yet we presume the
good people of Henderson will be prepared
to accommodate a large delegation from
Evansville. Some of us will be likely to
trespass a little on their hospitality that day.
We feel very much interested in that denti-
cal road, and rejoice as heartily as any CON-
munity in the flattcring prospects of its speedy
dy commencement and vigorous prosecution
to completion. We want a good chance to
holer, and we expect this Barbecue will af-
ford it. There W II doubtless be great crowd,
good speeches, am something to eat.

D1sagrecable Affair.

Considerable feeling has been manifested
here by the friends of the Shotwell, against
Capt. Wilson, of the Empress, for what they
charge a dishonorabe act i'm him. We have
been spoken to on the subject, as though we
feared making the charge. For any censure
connecting US in any manner, editoria!ly or
personally, with fear, and especially with
moral cowardce, we have no answer but ST.
lent contempt, unless it be to point to our
past course as editor, and say most emphati-
cally, zoe haze been tried, and in little more
dangerous fields than Evansville.
But as to this matter, we have long known
Capt. Alph. Wilson, and having recognized
him as gentleman and an honorable man,
we have been slow to believe he would be
guilty Of 50 small piece Of business as that
charged upon him-and we shall require
more evidence than has yet been produced to
compel US to the belief. In view Of the cur
rent of angry public feeling here on the sub
ject, it requires considerable more courage to
make this remark than to make, the charge
itself against the one man.
tits charged on Capt. Wilson, that direct
ly the Shotwell appeared around the point,
he spoke of her coming, and running up on
deck, ordered the line to be cast loose. The
Empress then swung around directly in the
channel, so as to intercept the Shotwell, and
prevent her taking a near shoot to the Ken
lucky shore, and floated some little distance
the Shotwell was compelled 10 run up near
the Evansville size. and lost several minutes
time. Capt. w. had been betting here free
ly on the Eclipse, and this 10 doubt made
some quick to believe what otherwise they
might have doubted. Now, the Shotwell had
put off at the bend a gentleman to get
get the Fashion, at Evans vile, and pull the
Shotwel off bar. When she got off, she
came near running in the Indiana shore above
the Bend. She was thus on our side of the
river. She no doubt purposely run near the
and asked if they should stop for him; and be-
sides the officers OF the Shotwell wanted to
see the Eclipse's time, which they knew was
stuck up on this wharf boat. So we think
whatever may have been Capt. Wilson's in
tentions, the result was not what many think.
We may be mis,akeL, but shall inquire of
the officers of the Shotwel, and also now
ask an explanation of Capt. Wilson, which
we have no doubt " i'll be publicly given.
| p. S.-Since writing the above, we have
talked with Capt. Elliott fully on this subject.
He states distinctly and emphaticslly, and so
does. one Of his pilots, that he C. nsidered The
act ion Of Capt. Wilson as malicious and will
iul, and as resulting in making the Shotwell
lose time. That's enough, till we hear from
Cspl. Wilson Our error, if error it be, i
one of friendship; yet no friend can stand
in the way OF our doing justice. The Em-
press should have taken the Indiana shore,
by the rules, governing downward bound
steamboats,. She did not do it. Whe Their
this was from malice, or utterly unintention
al, remains to be seen.

led runs, but unfortunately was caught in a
fog below Evansville, and ran aground on
bar i'm Dutch Bend, which detained her one
hour and thirty five minutes. Her run from
Evansville to Portland, l65 miles, was made
in IA hours, which is full hour quicker than
it ever was made before.
The ShotweIl stopped her engine at the
Portland wharf 10 minutes before 8 O'Clock
S,tur'iay evening, by Louisville time. BY
the memorandum of her time from port to
port, she reports A days . hours and 20 min.
out, which beats the Eclipse one minute in a

~ The John NJ. Stockwell arrived here
Mon Jay afternoon from New Orleans, with
a moderate freight; her time was little be-
hind that of the Eclipse, but on the whole
made good run. She is just as good boat
for the trade as any of 'em, and is commanded
hy very clever Office s. She put off between
500 and 900 tons of Railroad iron here, for
the E. and /. Railroad. As the Stockwell
has considerable Wabash freight on board
we presume she will go up the Wabash from
here.

DAN RIcE's HIPfoDRoME AAp MENAGERIE.
Dan Rice, with his far-famed Hippodrome
and Menagerie, will be with US on Thursday
next, and if report speaks truth, or anywhere
near the truth, rich treat is in store'for our
citizens. Dan Rice has prospered beyond al
former fortune during the past season'in New
Orleans, and success has enabled him topre-
sent to his former patrons and friends an en-
tertainment, with the countenance of all
classes of society. The Nashville papers,
and indeed the entire p:ess between here and
the Crescent City, are unanimous in their
praises of the establishment. The Wild
Boy Of Ceylon, a cross between the Ourang
Outang and the Bushmen race, is said to be
the greatest natural curiosity ever seen in
the United States. The Chinese family. in
Guiding the, beautiful princess, with feet only
two and half inches in length, are also said
said to be exceedingly interesting. Dan is
spoken of as being funnier than ever; but
we have not the space to 60 into full particu-
lars. Suffice it to say that the Hippodrome
and Menagerie will be here on Thursday.
A. L. SHorwELL.-The Shotwell arrived
here yesterday afternoon, little after !
O'Clock. We had long talk with Capt Elliott,
his First Clerk, and one of his Pilots. They oil
insist that the Eclipse left New Orleans at
ten minutes before 10 O'Clock, which would
give the race to the Shotwell. Capt. E. in
/ formed us and other citizens, that Mr.. Stroth.
err, whose purported despatch to Louisville has
made the Eclipse hackers so sanguine, tod
him personally that the Eclipse started from
| New Orleans ten minutes before ten o'clock.
Mr.. Abbot, Pilot, says he was present at the
time, and is willing to take oath to the fact
1t is also stated that the matter was left at
Louisville to Capt. Bacon, of the Chancellor,
ho was at New Orleans at the times both
boats started. He decided that the Eclipse
left New Orleans at the time stated by Capt.
Elicit. This decides the matter for the
Shotwel by two minutes, at least until both
boats return from New Orleans, when we
may reasonably expect to have the ques-
ton permanently settled. The Shotwell took
on some freight here. We thank Mr.. Jouliet
for papers.
