You will probably have been apprised by telegraph,

county, this day. We just returned from visit to the
scene OF the disaster and hasten to give you the pscu
lars, so far as ~e could learn them.
The buildings consumed were Of wood and comprised
spacious and beautiful pile in which at the time of the
calamity there $50 students besides professors and
teachers, very many Of whom were from New-England
New-lork City and the river counties The fire broke
out at o'clock A. M in a students room while the
school were assembled for morning prayers in chapel
and had attained such Roadway when discovered as 10 re-
sst all attempts to suppress it, But occurring in the day
time, ard commencing in corner Of the buildings
gave ample time for all TO escape-the most of whom
,aved their entire efects-cothes books &c. No lives
were lost, and injured. II only BY the
most indomtabe energy, however, that the village was
preserved from entire destruction Of the principal
buildings having been fire several times.
The school was enjoying high degree of prosperity.

charged with conspiracy and robbery on the complaint
of Bernard Primer of No us Bowery, which has been
under examination for several days past at he Third Dis
trct Police Court continued yesterday afternoon be-
fore Justice Welsh. Mr. Roeter OF the defendants
was permitted to- and did, make very long statement
detailing with great minutenes- the circumstances under
which he found Pnner in his with hrs wife ooth
being partly undrcs the night he alleges to have re-
turned from philadelphia He also related every Little
transaction and remark of Primer while he was in ms
house on the night in question, and the answers to I'm
ners questions. Roeter alleges that Pnner was very
much alarmed about the matter being made public, as ii
would lure his character and business and seemed ox
ceedingly DESTROYS that compromise should be effected
He actually as Roleer alleges, offered several hundred
dollars to hush up the unpleasant affair but Roleter re-
fused to listen to his propositions and told him he must go
before the Court.

The Cours House-Gas.

We understand the County Commissioners
have refused to introduce gas into the new
Court House at present. We are informed
~ Mr.. Roquet, the architect, that the gas
fixtures can now be placed in the Court
House at far less expense than when the
building is completed. Besides, the intro.
duction of it after all the stucco and other
works completed, will very considerable mar
the appearance of the rooms. This action of
the Commissioners appears to US very short
sighted. The rooms must be lit up with gas.
This is certainly admitted, unless we are to
be governed by picayunsh feeling entirely
different from that which produced SO fine q
building. gas then is to be introduced, we
really hope the fixtures may be put in at once,
and the house finished as it ought to be.
The Court House now begins really to de-
velop itself. Mr.. Roquet is making a nea,
job of it, and we think when completed, citi.
zens will be well pleased with the edifce.

o. The Chicago Journal says not paper
in Upper Illinois is supporting the Douglas
Nebraska Bill. Douglass own organ, the
Chicago Press, is opposing the bill bitterly.
The Press says:
Meanwhile we wish to express the con-
viction that the people of Illinois are almost
unanimous against the disturbance Of eu.er tie
Compromise Of 1922 or that Of 1850. They
have endorsed both of them in the most en-
phatic way; they believe both to be essential
to tn , harmony of the country, TO the contin-
uance of good understanding between the
North and the South; they will resist the dis
iurbance OF the '..i?naiity"o of 1920, l"st it be
regarded as precedent for overthrowing the
fDa!ity of 1850; and trs do not bstisve that The
prestige Of great names. nor any effort Of party
drill, will have the eff; ct of driving them from
the defence of either. But whether this be
SO or not, our roice as public journalist, as d

A FABRIcATIos.-lt has been intimated in

Y. Mirror. that the British Governn ent con.
nived at the escape Of the Irish prisoners from
Van Deman's Land. In reply TO this charge,
Mr Mitchell empba,ically says:
at is not true; and il is ungenerous TO say
SO; because il suppoSes that tnose prisoners
were so base as Il remain five years in vol.
untary captivity, when they might have es-
capped easily. In fact, the government did
its utmost to keep hold Of the prisoners; and

our mail matters.

We have had frequent occasion within the
last six months to advert to the subject Of our
mail dslinquene ies--by the river (which have
been, during great portion Of that time,
great source of annoyance to the public gen.
orally, and especially to the business portion
of our citizens. We have made complaints
on behalf Of ourselves and the community,
and exposed the negligence of mail carriers
as often as they have come to our knowledge.
Since the close of the Mississippi with ice,
above the mouth Of the Ohio, the regular dali
! ly mail packet line, between Louisville and
St. Louis, has been from necessity suspend
ed; consequently the eastern and way mails
could only be sent by transient boats with
great irrceularty, varying in their arrival at
this point from one to five days behind time.
We have suffered these grievances in com.
mon with the whole community, and felt their
Inconvenience perhaps more directly, and
sorely, than most of our neighbors, which is
the only apology We have to offer for the ma
ny vain complaints we have offered up. We
: are not going to scold any more about the
matter. The same causes that have opera
ted to produce these grievances still exist, and
will continue to exist for all time TO come,
so long as the main mail route is continued
on the river. We must look elsewhere for
the remedy than to any arrangement that
can be made on the river route.
Post Master Siinson, has recently been
-. holding CORES pondence with the P. 0. De-
partment, in relation to a land route, which
upon investigation he finds to be not only
highly practicable, but much more exued
!iOus than the route by the river ever ha
been. He has ascertaned that with Sigh
2 additional expense to the Department, tn,
facilities for carrying the mails between Vim
| cennes and Terre Haute, may be so increas
}, ed as to enable US to receive our mails nearl,
: one day earlier than heretofore, and witt
perfect regularity. .-~ 81.
By this land route our mails can be brough
to Terre Haute, from the Eastern cities, TIT
$ entire distance by misunderstanding only
: about SO miles to stage carriage, to connec
Il with the Evansville &, rawfordsville Rail
n road at Vincennes. To effect this connec
e ton it becomes necessary to shorten the tim

Il hours only, which can easily be done and wit
% little additional expense TO the Department

is to make the connection desired, asking onl
'r to be paid the extra expense incurred in s
g doing. A proposition will be made to tn

SIT. Vernon aud Evansville Telegraph.
We are g.ad to learn that an enterprise is
under full consideration at Mt. Vernon 10
establish telegraph line to this city. The
Mt. Vernon Advocate says:
A proposition for the establishment Of a
Telegraphic communication with Evansville
is being considered in this place. Inquiries
have been directed in various quarters TO
elicit the minimum cost OF construction. the
result Of which we believe has not yet ira MS
pired. a party in Evansville We understand
proposes to undertake the job for. $1,000
So som cs this can be settled we doubt not
the necessary amount OF stock will be readily
subscribed
That the measure will prove beneficial to
the town and remunerate 10 the stockholders,
there can we think be no reasonable doubt.
Such line would place Mt. Vernon in
telegraph connection with every city in the
Union, for we have Of course every telegraph
connection that Louisville has. We hope
this line will be speedily built. We have
the men in this city who can build it cheaply
and substantially as can any men in tLt
Union. Our friends at Mt. Vernon need no
