We clip the above from the Evansville Jour-
nal of Wednesday last. We do so for the
purpose of exposing an error into which the
Journal has no doubt inadvertently fallen.
The Journal says the extract purporting to be
from speech made by Gen. Lane at Portland
Oregon, on the l4th of May last, is literal
extract from the speech as published in pa
Der supporting himself. Now we charge the
truth to be that the Journal copied the FORE
going extract from the Ors9onian, of May 2 LIST,
(that paper then being before the editor of
the JournaD paper deadly hostile to Gen.
Lane-and not from a paper in the support
of Lane. Will the Journal make the amende
honorable!-( Enquirer.

Of our contemporary on an editorial from the
Journal giving an extract from speech made
BY Gen. Lane, in which he signiHed Presi-
dent Pierce had offered him place IN his
Cabinet, Gel! The Enquirer is right when
il says we extracted the paragraph from the
Oreronian. But then the Oregonian QUO.
ted the paragraph from Lanes speech as
published in his particular organ, therefore
we were right in giving this organ instead
Of the Oregonisn credit. The editor of the
Enquirer made his remarkable discovery, by
finding among the exchanges with which we
supply hotel, q copy Of The Oregonian, with
the editors introduction to the very article
ex tracted. He has found wonderful "mare's
nest" but there won't be much enjoyment in
trying 10 hatch anything from the eggs. We
hope he or any other person acquainted with
Gen. Lane would not doubt for moment that
he made the very remark imputed to him. 1t is
very mach like him indeed. But We do not
desire getting into any discussion about Gen.
Lane in his absence. He accused US and
very unjustly once, of attacking him in his
absence, and we do not desire nor intend he
shall have the slightest real excuse for the
Same complaint again.

tial secretary of the government under Mr..
Corwin, and late principal editor Of the Gin
cinnati Commercial. We knew Mr.. Lee
personally, and only two or three weeks ago

He then appeared 10 excellent health. Mr..
Lee was an excellent writer, man of fine
social qualities, and an able newspaper con-
ductor. His loss is public calamity.

New Booxs.-A valuable work entitled
the "Heroines of History" has been shown
%, and another entitled the "Heroiues ofthe
Crusades," by 8. H. Wires, Esq, general
agent for their sale in the South and West.
The "Heroinss Of History" embraces the
lives of Cleopatra. Joan of Arc, Mary of
Scotland, Queen Elizabeth, the Empress Jo-
ssphine, and many other characters interest

The work is compiled by J. s. Jenkins one
of the most graphic biographical writers of
the day. The work is an excellent one and
should find its way into every family in Ev-
ansville.
The "Heroines of the Crusades," we have
given cursory examination, and believe it
also to be another first class of biographical
works, and that it faithfully deineates the
character and lives of the Herones of those
days. It is well written and highly in

BALTIMORE AND ONO RArIRoAp.-W

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILRoAp.-We
call the attention of travellers to the adver-
tisement of this Railroad. The Union line
Of steamers run in connection with this road
from Louisville, to Wheeling. In times of
low water, light draught but swift steamers
are substituted for the large and splendid
packets used in high water. Those who take
this route East, will find it recommended as
pleasant and speedy. Mr.. Henderson is
agent in this city for the Union line. We
extract the following article from a late
number Of the Baltimore Sun:
TRAVEL TO THE WEsr.-We learn from
Wheeling that, although the water in the
Ohio river between that city and Cincinnati
is down to 30 inches in depth, at the shoalest
places, the steamers are still running to and
from Louisville, in connection with the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. The Company
has, SO far, had no failure to get their passen-
gers off regularly on their arrival from Balti.

ly by the boats at Wheeling, who, with the
through tickets, purchased at st. Louis,
Louisville or Cincinnati, keep on to this city,
over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
We are informed also that one of the hi.
rectors Of the Central Ohio Railroad, (now
rapidly bulding) from Columbus 20 Wheel
ing, is at this time in Baltimore, and that an
improved schedule for this route between this
city (via Wheeling) and the West, will pro.
baby shortly arranged. This important
connection of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road is how opened to GAINESVILLE, SO miles
from Columbus and Is miles from Wheeling,
but in few weeks another section of some
20 miles, from GAINESVILLE to Cambridge, will
be completed, which will reduce the distance
to Wheeling by that much. The Ohio Stage
Company's coaches now form the connection
between the Central Ohio and the Baltimore
and Ohio roads, by their daily trips between
GAINESVILLE and Wheeling, in ten hours.
By the proposed alteration in the running of
the trains from Baltimore, and the stages to
and from Wheeling, to conform to the re.
quirements of the travelling public and the
Post Once Department, a great saving of
time by this route will be effected, and the
p assengers and mails will be conveyed repu-
larry between Baltimore and Cincinnati in
81 hours. The road from Columbus to
Wheeling will be entirely completed IN less
than twelve months, when, with railroad all
the way from Baltimore to Cincinnati, the
time between the two cities will be reeducd
to so hours.

ToBAcco-THE CRoP-PBrCes.-By refer
ing to the books of the tobacco warehouses
in this city, it appears that there is consid-
cradle decrease in the sales this season, as
compared with the last. TIE sales at. the
dates, were, - ,753 hogsheads against 1871
hogsbeads during the same period last season.
This confirms the statements made early
in the season that the crop would be less
than hat of the previous year, and from all
the information we can now CLEAN, it is very
certain that the growing crop will fall far
short Of the present one, and in very many
sections the farmers do not anticipate half
a crop. This is altogether owing to the long
continued drought, bat throughout Mason
county, KY. the prospects are favorable, as
we learn that light rains have prevailed there
during the month, and the farmers are deter
minad to do their best. -
We learn from an intelligent farmer in
Christian county, that the crop this year will
bear no comparison with that of last, that in
many sections the plants were set out on the
10th of July, and they will not yield one
third Of crop in most places, and but one
half under the most favorable circumstances.
The recent rains may redeem the crops i'm a
measure, although the season is almost too far
advanced.
The prices of this staple in this market
continue in the ascendant, and we notice a
sale at the Pickett warehouse of five hogs.

liza correspondent writing from Texas
gives US couple of good stories, for the per-
fectiruth of which he pledges his SACRED
honor:''
"In the interior Of the country" writes he,
"corn bread forms the staple article Of diet;
anything composed Of wheat -four being about
as scarce as ice.cream in Sahara. One of
the citizens of those parts, not long since,
paid visit to relative in Galveston, who,
Knowing the rarity Of "wheat fxins" in his
visitors location, presented him with'a genu-
inc wheat biscuit, to be given to each of his
children on his return. The journey was
long and the weather warm; so that before
the good man reached home the biscuits had
become hard and dry. The wonderful pres
erits from "Aunt Jane" were in due time
distributed to the tow-headed yonkers, and
they ran off with them in high glee. Soon
one Of them made his appearance with live
coal placed on the top of his biscuit, which
ne was blowing most vigorously.

away: III be darned if the crtter don't poke
out his head out'n his shell afore long!"
The youngsters who had never seen bis
cult before, thought they were young terra
pins.
"And now" continued our correspondent
"for the suake-story''-all of which saw:
"One night my wife and myself were AVA
kened by a noise from the shelf, which con-
tanned our small store Of crockery, followed
by crash which showed that a great portion
of our cups and plates had been flung to the

had crawled upon the shelf, attracted by a
number Of eggs which were scattere about.
"One of these he had su allowed, and. in
order to get at the next, he had put his head
