lmportant Dispatches.

Those who are in the habit of reading all
the telegraph dispatches daily Published in
our newspapers, must be surprised at the un-
importance of some of the items of news for
which publishers are obliged to pay round
price. The veriest items of gossip, the sill
lest rumors. the most absurd specuations,
news that nobody can care particle about
all come under The head Of telegraph Dispatch
es, and are paid for the same as il each shook
the nation with its momentous Importance.
Those who get up the dispatches, appear to
think something must be sent to the Western
press, to exhibit their industry and how well
they are earning their wages.
But we clipped the following "important
dispatch from the telegraph reports publis. A.
ed couple days since:
WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The Union of this
morning has an article on the policy of the
ADMINISTRATION and another defending the ap-
poiRtments.
How vastly important! That notorious
sheet. the Union. has actually published an
article on the policy Of the Administration!
And another defending the appoir tments!-
The country is safe. Now scarcely day
passes but the Union does this very thing OF
publishing articles, and must ridiculous arti-
cles generally, on the "policy" Of the Ad-
Manifestation and defending appointments, yet

The charge Denied.

The steamer Empress was here yesterday
morning. Capt. Wilson has requested US to
to give an emphatic and unequivocal denial
of the charge made here, that he endeavored
to reta,d the Shotwell at this port, on her
late race, by placing the Empress in her way.
He Ind no such intention whatsoever, nor
was the result in any manner such as to re-
tard that boat. He was prevented by fog
from proceeding earlier in the morning, and
the Shotwell being momentarily expected, he
waited until he ascertained that she was in
the bend below, for the purpose of ascertain
ing her exact time to this point. The Cap
tair assures us that his boat was entirely be-
yond the course the Shctwell was making,
and that she ran the nearest possible line
from the point where she emerged from the
for, up the river. Capt. Wilson regards the
charge as malicious and unfounded, and says
it would have been impossible for him to have
ess entially retarded the ShotwcI's speed
without greatly endangering the sa iety of his
own boat.

to after daylight. Our boat having consider

out into the city and was quite much pleas d

there is no city on the OHIO river below the

such lively business appearance as this

We had been Of the opinion that for num-
Der of years Evansville enjoyed, "quite al

badly than any other city on the Ohio river
except Louisville and Cincinnati. The pro.
posed public works, however, will Of course
vastly increase this trade, and materially as

@The Arctic's news from Spain says,
the Spanish Court is irritated at Senator
Soule's appointment, and the Journals de-
mand that he be not received.
Such course by tae Spanish Court will
not surprise nybody, not even Soule himself
nor yet President Pierce. However capable
Senator Soule may be to fill that place. his
conduct in relation to Cuban affairs has beer
such as to divest him Of all personal inhu
ence and popularity in that country. The
appointment has been regarded. by the con
sentative portion Of all parties, as very un
suitable, and either indicates on the part o
the President the most purblind stupidity, o
discrimination to widen the breach hat ha
already threatened to disturb the peaceful re
lations of the two countries.

QUEEN VICTORIA AND HER FAMTLY.-A
letter from Sondon to the New York Sunday
Times, says;
Born May oath, 1919, Queen Victoria will
speedily enter into her 35th year. She fully
looks her age. TIE family tendency to stout
ness has recently developed itself in her, and
she is getting vulgarly tat. The fact is, she
takes little exercise. has mind not easily
troubled by trifes, and has great appetite.
Her food is of the plainest, but she eats heart,
ly, and bottled stout is her "favOrite vanity"
Queen Victoria has only two things to trou-
Bile her-first that revolution will drive her
from the throne, sending her to live in the
United States; and next, the apprehension
that che will die in childbirth. Neither are
very probably. In her recent aconchment,
she was 20 alarmed that, for the first time, DR..
Locock administered chloroform, under the
influence ofwhich parturition took place.
Prince Albert will go to Gotha, (the petty
| capital of his eldest brother EsPetty Duony)
some time in June. Prince Ernest, reigning
duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; have no
children, and Prince Albert is his heir. But
the English people, who had expensive expe-
rience, in the case of Hanover will not allow
Prince Albert to succeed his brother. The
intended visit, therefor, is to decide on his
surrender Of the heirloom, his second son TAX
ing his place. This young gentleman. Alfred
Ernest Alfred, was born in August, 1874.

The GENIUS OF LIBERTY.-The genius OF
liberty appears in pet.icoats this tine. This
is the title of new publication in quar'o
form, and very neatly printed. just issued at
Cincinnati, and edited by Mrs. A. Aidrich.
Its peculiar fault is the length OF its principal
articles. There are indeed only ten articles
in the whole paper. The object fthe paper
is Of course to uphold the "Woman's Move
ment." and obtain for woman those rights
which cruel, tyrannical man, has deprived
her of from the time Eve caused Adam to sin.
She wants the right to do Just as she pieases'

better 70 home, and make that home happy
one to the husband, and with the husband,

We have no sympathy nor charity for pub
lie women of any kind. The farther true
woman wanders from her own family, thu:
steps she from individual happiness, and thus
far does she forfeit the respect female modes
ty always claims among the American people
We despise these women agitators. They
have no claim as ,0omsn upon the respect Of
attention of men, more than as man may re-
ceive from man. They have thrown aside
the pursuits, and moral habilliments OF then
sex, and as they cannot be men, they nave
made themselves the eunuchs of society.

We have conversed with one Of the firm OF
Stewart, Shire & Co., proprietors Of the Ter
re Hsute and Evansville Canal Packet Co.,
and learn some positive facts in relation to
the time when the Canal will be in running
order to Msysville. II is completed and boats
running there-leaving distance of only 90
miles in which the water has to be let A little
homework has yet to be done on the locks.
About the fifteenth Of this month, the first
packet may be expecteu from Terre Haute,
and after that, unless some accident happen
from the letting in of the water, there will be
tri-weekIy packets from Evansville to Terre
Haute. AS the water must be let in slowly
for time boats laden with freight may not be
able to run. Yet only short time will elapse
before they commence piling in upon us large
quantities of the produce Of the Wabash val.
ley.
Messrs. Stewart, Shire & Co., have already
made the preliminary arrangements for put
ting into immediate operation to this po;n
their line of packets. They are statiOnin,
horses, and are fully provided with fine pas
senger packets. There is no doubt but tina
they will be literally patronized when tn
Canal is in good running order. We shall
welcome the arrival of their first boat, as III
signal OF the final completion OF the grea
and magnificent Wabash and Erie Canal.
