Daring Outragc-A store Robbed Of
SS,OOO.!

Between 3 and 4 O'clock yesterday morn
ing, the store of NJ essrs. NcNulty d. Owen
dealers in iancy aud staple dry goods, on
Market street, between Floyd ard Preston
was entered by burglars, and robbed of be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000. The thieves eff.
fected entrance through the cellar. The
money was deposited in tin box, in the
desk. The scoundrels, after gett ny all the
money that could be found, set fire to the
house and left. When the alarm OF fire was
given, Mr.. Edward McNuty, who slept in the
second story OF the building, got up, and went
Town stairs with camphene lamp in his hand.
He rushed into the store room, when the
lamp tell, and the door was suddenly closed
The flames had by this time gained SUCH
Roadway, that Mr.. McNulty began to look
around Tor some means of escape. He made
several efforts 10 open tn, front doors, bu,
without success. He finally got out the
back door, but was terribly burned in the
face and on the hands. Tie firemen soon
arrived on the spot and subdued the flames
but not until the entire stock of goods was
destroyed
Mr.. McNulty informs us that his store W as
at. mpted to be entered before. The money
stolen consisted principally of 500 bills on
the Farmers Bank of Kentucky. Taere
were so. about $1,000 in small Indiana
Ohio, and Tennessee bills. Dir. McNulry
had recently drawn the money from the bank
for tn , purpose of going East to buy new
stock Of goods. He thinks that some persons
who saw him take tie money out Of bank,
were the perpetrators OF the robbery. A
reward of 5 900 is offered for their appre.
henson.
The stock of goods destroyed BIZ the fire
were valued at f:om Sc 900 TO 5000 on " hich
there was insurance OF $4,000 divided equal.

Incon slStencies.

The Enquirer man pretends to have labor
ed himself tired in exposing the inconsisten-
ces OF the Journal. 1t has discovered what
no one else can sea glazing Inconsistency
in our views in relation to the Walker and
Lopez expeditions. AS we have before re-
marked, our neighbours proneness to mis-
represent the Journal, seldom fails to furnish
him with pretext for SO doing whether one
exists or not.
In our article of Feb. Sd, We used the fol-
lowing language: Every man, we say, and
including our neghbor, knors that the prnci-
pie governing the prime movers in the Gu
ban expeditions, was mere selfish interest"
This position our neighbor does not stoop TO
attempt to controvert. We alluded only to
the prime movers in these expeditions. We
are Of that same opinion still, and although
orr neighbor may entertain different opin.
ion, yet he does not, nor cannot show that
the Journal is wrong. Since the writing Of
our article OF February Sd, fragrant ac's Of
aggression have been committed upon our
commerce by the Spanish authorities in Gu
ba. They have insulted our flag, have con.
fscated our property, as is believed without
cause; they have treated American officers
of Government with utter contempt, Hence,
we remarked in Wednesdays Journal, that
unless the conduct Of the Spanish authori-
ties, was fully and promptly UNIDENTIFIED. and
the most positive assurance given Of q ces.
sation Of their outrages, the blood Of the VIC
tins of 1851 would "cry out from the ground
for revenge" By victims we mean, as the
public will duly appreciate, excepting al
ways the Enqurer) those brace and misguided
young men, who were first made the victims
Of the prime movers Of the expedition, by the
glitter Of promised gold, and any amount Of
glory that was sure to crown their efforts
You may cell these leaders "selish ad7en-
turers" or by any other similar epithet. but
surely they are entitled to credit for no more
worthy motives.
The sympathy felt for the twice victimix-
ed young men, would no doubt, as We init
mated the other day, be an almost resistless
incentive to their friends in The States, tc the
infiction Of summary and severe punishment,
should a continuance Of these Cuban out
RACES provoke collision with our people,
Now We rather think, that i, is the stupidity
rather than the sagaciry Of our neighbor, that
discovered this inconsistency. Should our
sapient neighbor "court further discussion
upon the subject, We shall be able to show
some real Inconsistencies in his positions.

I" The editor Of the Enquirer SAYS, the
only time he errs is according to conviction.
All, indeed! Then you erred by conviction
when you claimed all the people of Evans
vile as being in favor Of the Nebraska Bill
bot few! You erred by conviction, in the
hundred different MEASUREMENTS you have
made in connection with this very subject
You have been erring only by conviction in
the multitude of direct untruths we have ex-
posed during the last three months. Some
people would call this habit Of erring by con-
viction, tying-ond acting by similar convic-
ton IN respect 10 property, has convicted
many a man to the penitentiary. We do
hope the Enquirer will either not act any
more BY its convictions, or else not entertain
convictions 50 ridiculOusIy absurd az to rem.
der falssheed necessary to tell what they are.

Robbery OF The Presidents Niece.


Washington correspondent of the Bal,i-
more Sun, under date of March 18th, relates
the following:
In my last letter stated the novel and dar-
ing Outrage which had been committed upon
niece OF the Presidents, but the ears leav.
ing at the moment prevented any particulars
Alter the leasu Of an inter view with the
family, am enabled now TO state the matter
more at length. The young lady was COM
ing down Third street. The villain appear.
ed to have been awaiting her approach i'm an
alley which passes through and around the
entire block oil bui dings. In the lady's hand
was her pocket ha"kerchiei, through which
her port mDDnie was visible.
As the lady passed the alley, the fellow ad-
vanced quickly and struck a lie, but not
very severe blow on her chest-at the same
time seizing the h ,Bdkerchief and port mon.
noie. The fair heroine, with tue courage,
grasped her property, md held on 10 it until
the fellow literally wrenched it from her, and
then fled through the alley. Nothing daunt-
ed, she pursued him some distance calm for
help, but, unfortunately. 10 one appeared in
time to arrest the depredator. Besides the
property stuffed in my letter, the portmonnoie
contained avalnable diane nd ring. The lady
was not knocked down, nor did her heroic
spirit quail under the assault. She appeared
to gain fresh strength with the occasion
which demanded it. II is the general desire
that our vigilant police may succeed in fer
reting the cowardy villain out.

Division OF Parties.

While the Democratic party Of the North
and South have disregarded sectarianism, and
are united almost TO a man on the Nebraska
bill. the Wing party have divided, and are
now no longer q national party.-Loaisuille
Times.
Does II Times believe for a moment its
own statement about the Democra attic party
Of the north being united in supporting the
Nebraska bill! Does it think one solitary
intelligent reader of its thousands of liberal
patrons, believes any such thing! Does it
suppose there 10 q we'll informed man in the
whole west, or in the whole east, or in the
whole country, believes such statement!
We presume the editors of the Times have
great deal too much hard sense, TO believe
any such ridiculous thing. With all the ef.
forts of party leaders to whip in the rank End
file Of their party on this queston-even by
bringing in the influence of the Administra-
ton, and the vulgar abuse Of the mass of its
office holders-the honesty and good faith of
the mass Of the Democratic party north. have
proven incorruptble, and at this day we have
no doubt the great majority of that party in
the north. are opposed to this bill. Even many
Democratic papers, old standby sheets, are
strenuously opposing the bill Is the editor
of the Times ignorant Of this fact! Is he ig.
norant of the fact that every anti-Nebraska
meeting yet he'd in the west, has had in it a
full representation of his own party! Is he
aware that Of the very few Nebraska meet
ings held to uphold this bill, there is not one
which originated in spontaneous movement
ofthe people or of any party, but on the con-
trary was beat up by office.holters!
As for the Wing party north being divided
on this question, it is all nonsense, and worse
than nonsense, a sheer fabrication. OF the
few Wings north in favor Of the bill. We ven
ture to say there net a score of respecta-
BILE men, who are not men from tie SOUTH
There is no such number of all, as could nv
the greatest exaggerotion be truthfuIly call
ed division Of the Wing party. We hope
our good friends Of the Times will not lesser
their own influence by any more such state
ments. There is no triumph in deceving the
grossly ignorant. and no other persons coule
possibly be deceived by such assertions.

New ORLEANs-This unfortunate city has
suffered severely this winter in its trade by
the low stage ofthe waters and the ice on the
Western rivers. The BuHetia says that the
past session has been without parallel for
the last twenty years. The effec,s of the
dreadful epidemic of last summer, extended
to the period Of winter, and materially injured
the fall business. In fact there was no ia II
business. Superadded to this calamtous
state Of things, the channels of the largest
and richest trade of this city have been un-
navigable either from ice or low water. There
is now, says the Bulletin, SIS 100000 from
the single article of cotton alone, less in the
commercial community than at the same Pc
Rod last year. The banks have pursued a
liberal policy, having done all they could to
relieve the necessities Of the public, consist
ent with the wholesome restrictions imposed
upon tnem by the laws Of the State. When
all these circumstances ere tuken into con-
siderstion, the wonder is not that very few
have fallen, but that there has not been a
general crash.

AZ The Enquirer fears to publish our two
articles relative to nuisances, &c. entire, but
is well contented, as is its practice. to make
garbled extracts. We could by the same
unfair means, alter the true sense of any ar.
ticle that has any sense to alter, in the En-
quirer. We wish it to understand. that we
do consider boiler establishment in neigh.
borhood Of dwellings as a nuisance, and so
does every other man, although he may not
be honest enough to SO express himself. At
the same time We remark as we did in Wed
nesday's Journal, "Mr. Haney has started an
establishment very much needed here, and
We nope he will be well sustained" We
hope more Of the same kind Of shops " i'll be
started here; and we shall, as we ever have
done, advocate such improvements, but while
we have plenty unoccuped ground away
from dwellings. and just as convenient TO bu-
siness, We shall not approve of their being
established right among private residences.
Are we understood.

The Reporter advises the Mayor end
Council not to let us write anything in beha all
of certain things. Probably the public can
judge for themselves of the success of the re.
spective writing in the two papers. This
young man has written down the Enquirer in
public estimation at least fifty per cent in the
brief space Of two or three months. He has
done three-fold more injury to il, than all our
attacks have done, or than We could possibly
wish them to do under any Circumstances
If Mr.. Hall would take charge of his own pa.
per, il might obtain the respect of the COM
munity, instead of being known as it now is,
for misrepresentation, falsehood and scurili.
y. The Journal is able to regard with grea,
contempt, any attempt to injure it in this
community, by an Individual who has sue.
ceeded in gathering about himself probably
more real contempt than the same communi.
ty ever before lavished on one man.
The Journal. has been, since our control O,
il, jealous and indefatigable advocate of the
interests of Evansville, and its course will
not be altered one whit either way for the
likes or disliSes Of contemporaries. There i.
no paper in the State which has exhibited O
stronger devotion to the interests of the com.
munity that sustains it, than has the Journa
and there is no editor in the State who ha.
written IS much for his own city during the
last.fve years, as we have done. How thi.
community appreciate our efforts, is probably
better proven in our success, than in thu
sneers Of an individual who has yet charac
ter for honor and integrity to esta blish in thi
city, and has yet to prove himself other thar
what we have declared him. We make no
these remarks in d fence from any of the at
JACKS OF insInuations Of the Enquirer, becaus,
we nope never to stand in need Of defence
wherein our loyalty to Evansville is con
cerned, but to exhibit profound contemp
for all such charges, and more especially fo
the source of this.

~ The Enquirer says the Journal is fast
becoming the nuisance of Evansville /. We
have no doubt our neighbor finds the Journa,
a great nuisance-an offence to all its five
senses. So long as it considers US nuisance.
we shall feel very happy in the thought that
We must be disseminating good and opposing
evil. The thief recognizes the law as nui-
sance, and would abolish it. Every rogue
regards a" free press (" as terrible nuisance,
ever in his way, ever exposing his rascalities,
eyer holding up such as him to public notice
and reprobation. Therefore we are not sur
prised our neighbor should regard the Jour-
nal as very great nuisance. We shall Try
20 make il Q little mere % to him.
