Mr.. NJ. A. Lawrence shipped yesterday for
New Orleans about six tons Of finished Mar
BILE (all carved), thence to be shipped to Red
river. This makes nearly thirty tons Of fin-
ished marble he has shipped to Red river
since last fall. We deem this an idea worth
noticing. Evansville is now supplying the
VALLEY of Red river with monuments and
tomb stones! and she is finishing them with
the very best marble, imported and native
and worked up in elegant style. The people
along Red river may no longer fear, that after
death their memory will only live the life
time of boards and paint. The "impersh
able marble" will tell of their virtues, anC
point the living, probably an age hence, te
the bright examples OF the past
Mr.. Lawrence has a large number OF ex-
cellent workmen employed, and is Away:
supplied with the finest marbles. He il
sending his work into every part of the ad
jacent country, and as per above. to far dis
'ant quarters. They will be monuments tC
the enterprise of the living as well as to the
memory and virtues of the dead.

Indiana Villages.

The State Sentinel has at some trouble
and research made out fist of the principal
cities and towns in this State, with their po-
pulation in 1850, and their estimated popula-
ton at this time, procured from reliable data.
The list comprises ll2 towns whose popua-
ton at this time exceed 1000, but we have
room for only few of the largest cities! 1t
will he seen that Evansville has grown pro-
DortionsteIy far faster than any other city
mentioned, except Richmond, since 1850. 1t
has increased to four and one-half times the
size it was then. while no other town in In
diana by the table below, except Laporte and

BIalrsviIIe Convention.

The "unterrifed" will meet next Saturday
on the old stamping ground, at Blairsville,
where Senatorial candidates are wont to be
made; and the event will be looked to with
deep solicitude, especially by the candidates
in expectancy. 1t is to be hoped that our
Democratic friends of Vanderburgh will have
"better luck this time" than when they were
down that way before. The poor fellows
went down to Blairsville few weeks ago,
anxious to take time by the fore-lock, brim
full of patriotism, but tie thing was no 90.
Posey county kicked against all subterranean
proceedings, and our Vanderburgh boys were
beautifully Coopsr-ed out of the consumma.
ton of their designs. They returned tolera-
bly, chop-fallen, but concealed their chagrin
like philosophers, and resolved to "pick their
Aints and try 'em again"
1t is very much to be regretted that the
call for the meeting to appoint delegates TO
the Blairsville Convention, did not &c, into the
Volksbote-that democratic Germans might
be able to read it in their own vernacular and
be present. Our neighbor OF the Enquirer
regrets it--with tears in his eyes-but thinks
that since the democracy has been so kind as
to throw out the Clayton amendment to the
Nebraska bill, they ought to attend anyhow.
Why, neighbor, the German democrats care
nothing about your Kansas Nebraska bill,
with or without the amendment, nor will that
bill in any form be brought before your Sen
atorial Convention, if candidate is nomina-
ted who expects to run the canvass.
We sincerely hope our locofoco friends
will succeed this time, and bring out their
man. their bona .fde candidate for the Senate.
Never mind your German friends, they know
full well that the whole work is cot and dried
and only needs the formal sanction Of pub
lie convention.

One of those Underground Railroad"
conductors, q citizen Of Henderson, KY,
passed through our city night before last, on
his return from delivering, per contract, four
female slaves at the Canada depot in Peters
burgh, Ind. Information had been lodged
with Marshal Ward, that this man, BROWN
who was we'll known here as notion pedlar'
was suspected, and he directed the ferry 10
be watched as he, (Brown,) was expected 10
return about that time. About 6 O'Clock In
the evening, Mr.. Brown, came to the
ferry, with two-horse close carriage, well
pied to his business, either negro-stealing
or notion peddling. Marshal Ward and
Sheriff Gavitt were Immediately informed,
but did not arrive at the ferry until Brown
had nearly reached the Kentucky shore
They put out in skiff and reached the oppo-
site shore, about mile and half behind
After some momentary delay in procuring a
pair of horses, which DR.. Ross kindly fur
nished them, the officers started in hot pur-
suit, confident, of course, of an easy victory
In this. however, they were somewhat disap-
pointed. Upon coming up with Mr.. Brown
and making their business known to him, he
drew revolver in each hand and deied the
officers to take him, and warned them of the
consequences of making further advances.
The Sheriff and Marshal, in making their
hasty pursuit, went unarmed, and were with

gives license to nab a kidnapper when you
can, and look up the law afterwards.
After parleying q few moments, Marshal
Ward went to neighboring house, and pro-
cured the necessary weapons to make the
contest more equal, while the Sheriff follow.
ed Mr.. Brown. After properly arming them
selves the Marshal and Sheriff made anoth-
err charge on the "worthy conductor" and
he surrendered. They took their prisoner
without further trouble to Henderson, where
writ for his apprehension was already in
waiting. upon which he was taken before the
Recorder, examined and remanded to jail
Although a resident of Henderson, and in
good standing aud circumstances, aside from
this charge, he could get no lawyer to defend
him.
1t appeared that he had received two hun.
dred dollars for this last trip to the depot, from
free negro in that vicinity. The evidence
Of his agency in the affair is said to be very
conclusive, and he will no doubt be dealt
with severely. He is we'll known here as a
notorious abolitionist, and if guilty of the
thieving philanthropy with which he is char.
ged, deserves punishment. After the pro-
ceedings before the Recorder, writ was is
sued for his removal to Union county, where
the slaves were taken from. We believe
Mr.. Brown received the slaves in Indiana
whether that will extenuate his case or not
remains to be seen. Our officers exhibited
their characteristic energy in securing their
customer, and confess that they have learn.

A NOVEL "BoILED Down. Mrs. Mary
Jane Holmes has written Novel entitled
Tempest aud Sunshine, or Life in Ken

tents as follows:
Two daughters of rich Kentucky plan

times do, differing dispositions. Julia, a
black-eyed brunette, is tempest" md Fann
her golden-haired younger sister, is "Sun-

position, is decettul and intriguing. Mr.
Wilmot, New York schoolmaster, who

influence of love-and the typhus fever.
Victim No. 2, is DR.. Lacey, of New Orleans,
(valucd at S50o,oG0) who falls in love with
Sunshine but is cheated out of her by julia S

~ Mr.. Petit declared in the Senste,

~ Mr.. Petit declared in the Senste,
that, if Congress allowed the recent oppor-
tunity of repudiating the Missouri compro-
mise to slip, the 5000 preacher and their allies
at the North would, at the next election, fill
the lower House with abolitonists and semi
aboltionists, who would vote and speak for
the sanctity OF the compact.
This was neither more nor less than con-
fession, that, if the vote upon the Nebraska
bill were to be postponed till after the next
Congressional election, it would be defeated
by the people. 1t was an acknowledgment
that the supporters of the bill were afraid to
lie; it 60 before the people for their decis-
ion.
We very much doubt whether the friends
of the bill have, by their precipitate action
in passing it, gained anything. The bill.
which is now a law, will be as general test
throughout the non-s!avehoding States in
the next elections to Congress as it would be
if it had failed to pass during the present ses-
sion. There will be a decided ant-Nebras-
ka bill majority, in the next Congress, and
that majority we apprehend, will take occa-
sion to assert practically their opinions and
principles, but we cannot say what course
they will adopt with view to this end. We
deprecate agitation, yet we regard fierce
and disastrous agitation as almost inevitable.

going an improvement which has for long
time been very much needed by the increase
in the congregation. The rear wall has been
torn down, and an addition of2o feet is being
added to the building. This will give TWEEN
weight additional Pews, and will nearly
double the accommodations of the church.
For a long time the edifice has proven too
small TO accommodate at certain times those
who would wish to attend. This is compli-
ment to the ability and popularity Of the
minister. When Mr.. Sterritt returns from
his tour, he will be gratied to notice the ad-
vantage which has been taken of his alb
sence. If it become necessary to enlarge
again, the congregation will we hope erect
an edifice which may be an ornament to the
