Tri-Weekly Journal.

We call the particular attention of bust
ness men in neighboring towns interested in
Evansville and its markets, and in telegraph
markets from other cities, to the Tri-Weekly
Journal. This paper is issued every Tues.
day, Thursday and Saturday. 1t contains
all the reading matter in the Dalies, each
Tri-Weekly Of course containing two Dailies,
with carefully corrected Evansville Prices
Current, Telegraph markets and news, ex-
pressly for the Journal, &c. &c. We are sure
business men in this region can obtain full
markets, &c. earlier through the Tri-Weekly
Journal, than any other source. A number
of our subscribers to the Weekly engaged in
mercantile business, have changedto the Fri
Weekly, and we think others might find the
change very acceptable. The price of tht
Tri-Weekly is 81 per nnnum, in advance.

The Evansville and Charlottesville Railroad
is doing large business at this time, as it has
been for some time. 1t has all it can do and
more too. We learn that every wagon tina,
can be procured is engaged in hauling freight
to the depot at Vincennes, aud said depot is
overaowing. There is SO much produce
awaiting shipment on the Wabash, that it
cannot be got out for a long period even if
the river should be in good stage, and the
number of boats in the trade doubled
Freights are consequently high, and every
body in the vicinity of the road is DESTROYS
of using that method of conveyance for their
produce, to reach the Ohio river. Every
train of cars comes in loaded. More cars
are needed. We presume the stockholders
in this road are not disposed to grumble at the
prospects noio.

DESERVES TO BE HUNG.-FRED. HUNT of
the cincinnati Daily Columbian" was re-
Gently robbed of his pocket book, by some
one of the long.fngered profession. We
think that this "diabolical deed" must have
been perpetrated by one who was an entire
stranger to Fred's generosity. 1.-THE thief
had asked Fred politely for his pocket-book,
and told him that he really stood in need of a
small amount, everybody who knows Fred
Hunt, knows that even a thief would not
have been refused, and then the villain might
have escaped the risk ofdetection, and the
disgrace of robbing an editor. A cotempor-
AIRY of Fred's in speaking ofthe affair says:
Some unmtigated scoundrel, who must be
entirely past redemption, and deserves to be
hung without benefit of clergy, relieved our
friend red. Hunt, Of the Daily "Columbian,"
OF his pocket-book. Fortunately for the gen.
tleman who was made so innocent and unsus-
pecting candidate for beng "wictimzed,"
the pOcket-book didn't contain much money;
nevertheless we must persist in reiterating
our assertion that the depraved villain n no
would attempt to rob an editor, should be put
through" in the most severe and sanguinary
manner.

The North is beginning to speak in thun.
der tones. In every State the "voice OF the
people" as echoed from public meetings ana
a free press is ringing out clear and s'rong IN
opposition 10 the Nebraska bill. IN our own
State, meetings are being held irrespective oil

expressing their minds Cd this important sub
ject. We publish to-day the proceedings OF
a meeting heM at Princeton last week, ana
largely attended. w rejoice to witness TINS
expression Of feeling, and hope the influence
Of this meeting will be felt by as least one
man in Washington, the Representative oil

need endeavor to persuade US that any party
or the large portion Of any party in tlris dis
trict, are in favor Of the Nebraska bill. Dem
ocrats as we'll as Wings will cleave to the in
terests of the North in this matter, and deny
the claims of party if they urge any opposite

Canal TOllu. &c.

The Board of Public Works Of Ohio in
connection with the Directors of the canals
in Indiana, have agreed upon reduction of
tolls on the Wabash and Erie Canal, in the
two States, OF from twenty to forty per cent
from the rates of last year. Lou. Times.
This included that part of the canal from
the Lake to Terre Haute. Below, the tolls
are exor5itantly high, and we hear of no pro-
posed reduction. There appears to be dis
position to make the business of this gr eat
canal terminate at Terre Hau,e. High tolls
and bad management below, are effectually
succeeding in preventing any important bu-
siness being done on this end of the canal,
as we have in previous article stated more
in detail. We now in the name of the cit
liens of Evansville, and in behalf of the
communities along the line of the canal, be-
low Terre Haute, appeal to the Trustees, for
reduction and heavy reduction of the ca
nal tolls. 1t is due those interested here and
foreign bond holders, that this reduction
should be made, and that such an organiza-
ton should be at once made, as will insure
the proper attention to this end of the canal,
and its general availability as great public
improvement. We have taken up this sub.
ject with the intention Of prosecuting it Wig
orousiy to the end. In due time we shall
be prepared with facts and statistics to prove
that if there be not premeditated intention
to benefit Terre Haute al the expense Of Ev.
ansvile, and communities interested be-
tween the two places, it looks wondrously that
way. and is practically the effect such inten-
tions might be supposed to produce.

is no peace for the ,cicked. - These poor tel-
lows, after being harrassed for nearly two
years, in vain attempt to bring them to JUS
tice, which they had thus far pretty success
fully eluded, have again been arrested upon
requisition from the Governor of Arkansas,
for the crimes Of murder and arson. The
requisition for their arrest was procured by
Sydney c. Burton, whom it will be recollect-
ed has figured conspicuously in this matter
from the commencement of their first prose-
cution. Mr.. B. is represented to have travel
ed more than $4,000 miles and through about
dozen States in the Union, in collecting
testimony, and maturing his plans for the
ultimate punishment of these men. They
were arrested simultaneously on the morning
of the 23d inst, in and about Cincinnati, and
Immediately hurried off by the officers, en- route
for Arkansas. They were taken by land
conveyance to Lawrsnceburgh, where the
officers and prisoners went on board the
Telegraph No. for Louisville. They were
landed, however, at Jacksonville, and pro-
ceeded at once to New Albany, where they
took the steamer Belle Sheridan for Arkan-
sas.

his arrest and destination, started in pursuit
