speech to this office, as it was intended for
US. We sent copy OF our excavations Of
the Bulwer-Clayton treaty II the old states
man, and he returns to US his best THINKS, and
not TO the Journal, of which he never saw a
COPY Enquirer. ....
We can't do any such thing. The speech
was directed to the Journal, and no doubt in.
tended for us particularly. The General
don't recognize but one paper in Evansville,
and that is the Journal. The ENQUIRER might
send him dozen papers, and articles marked
in each one, and still he wouldn't believc
there is any other paper in Evansville but
the Journal. On second thought, we nre-
sumo he thanked us for setting him right on
that treaty. He had evidently got very much
tecogged, and no doubt the Journal articles
on the subject were God-send to him. He
is perfectly welcome to all we have DONE

Tn. Railroad Meeting,

The called Railroad Meeting for yesterdsy-
afternoon, was largely attended. ApoK
Hall was very vel crowded. 1t was the
largest railroad meeting ever held in Evans
vile, and more good, honest, enthusiastic feel
ing prevailed, than we ever saw exhibited
before at any similar meeting inihis city
Fully onc.half of the assembly were stran-
gers-not only ctizsas. from along the route
Of the proposed Strait Line Railroad, but even
from distant quarters not SO particularly IN
terested, and from Indianapolis. Mr. SMITHS
speech was most an excellent one, and was
listened to with marked attention by those
present. We may make further allusion to
this speech tomorrow, and TO the meeting
generally. Col. Hopkins was not present.
Such was the feeling exhibited at this meet
ing, that by unanimous consent another meet
ing was agreed to be he'd in the evenings and
the adjournment was to that effect. We fee
more than ever encouraged in the prospect oil
the speedy building of this railroad. The
first letting takes place to-day, or at leas
bids arc received. Mr.. Smith made the re-
mark, that no railroad ever built in Indiana
had SO much stock taken up at its first lettings
as has this road-no road was ever common
ced under better auspices. The contractor
will be Paid that they may rely upon.
