New Articles of Oil Cloth

For achict hare Secured a Patent.
Onc1oTH APRONS with Sleeves, expressly got up to
protect the cotton pcker's garments from the sa-
turating effect of the dews on the leaves of the
cotton plant in the early hours of the morning
OILcLorB CAPors, with Hoods, to cover the head
This article will suit both cotton and sugar plan
tiers, as it can be used iu rainy weather, the hood
shielding the negro's head and neck completely
from the wet.
The use of Oil Clothing cannot be too highly re-
commended to planters, as they will find by expe-
rience that it prevents great deal of Sickness oc-
casoned by damp Clothes and it will allow the me-
groes who are often kept back from the cotton field
until the dew the leaves has dried, to get ont
earlier in the day, gaining thereby an hour or two
of picking to each hand
Planters, commission merchants and others, are
invited to call and examine my stock Of goods,
which offer for sale on liberal terms.

The Hon. A. Dixon.

We announced few days since that the
Hon. A. Dixon had been invited by the citi-
zens Of Evansville, without distinction of
party, to address them on the great political
questions of the day.
The Evansville Journal. after quoting onr
statement, says:
"The Courier is mistaken. Gov. Dixon
was invited here by a few rabid, red-mouthed,
sore he AIDED Nebraska Democrats, to make
speech on the Nebraska bill. Ii Archy
accept that invitation, he will meet with a
warm reception from one or two of our Hoo
sier speakers"
Why does Indiana talk of doubling upon
Mr. Dixoni We consider it foul play in
Kentucky to take the advantages with which
the Journal threatens Mr.. Dixon. We sup
pose that the "Hoosier speakers" intend to
keep on accommodating their forces until they
get the Kentucky Senator down, and then
cry out victory.-II Lou. Cour.
The Courier is again mistaken in thinking
that Indiana has any desire to double upon
Gov. Dixon, or show him the least foul play.
Nor does the Evansville Journal "threaten"
Gov. Dixon in any way, neither do the Peo-
pie of Indiana think it necessary to cumulate
forces upon the distinguished Senator. But
there is one thing of which the Courier may
rest assured-if Gov. Dixon comes here, by
invitation of the Douglasites, TO prop up the
Nebraska swin-le, or to excuse his own
course in the Senate upon that bill, we shall
surely get him down, and perhaps "cry VIC
tory" just as we have had occasion to do
with several Of the ablest advocates Of the
"swindle," who have been here on the same
errand. We hope, if Gov. Dixon HIS any
ambition TO address an Evansville audience
upon that question, he will name his time
and termsi and come right along. There
shall be no doubling or foul play.

Kisaane again IN Trouble.

HIS ARREST ON CHARGE OF RECENT
FORGERY IN New YoRK.-William Kissane
is again in the hands of the law, having been
arrested at the Walnut Street House, at a
late hour, night before last, charged with
forging the signature of Very and Groyne,
merchants of New York City, to a check
drawn on theSContinental Bank of the same
city, for the amount of SO ,OI8 20. The
check, together with another one, also fraud
dulent and of larger amount, was present
ted on the 30th of August TO the paying tel
Ter of the above bank, by a person in the
guise of a dTover, and was promptly cashed.
Strong circumstantil evidence, to publish
which, at present, would thwart the ends of
justice, points towards Kissane as the perpe-
traitor OF these forgeries.
yesterday morning, an application for a
witt OF HabeGs Corpus was ade, before
Judge Groison, of the Superior Court, ]. ID.
Garrard, Esq. appearing for the prisoner, and
A. j.. Pruden, Esq, for the Slate. The
Court remanded Kissane back into the Gus.
tody of the Marshal, on the grounds that no
return had been made by that officer. bu,
consented to hear the case argued ON Tues.

COwardly Ruffians.

We see by a correspondent OF the Enqui-
rer, writing from Mt. Vernon and giving an
account of the meeting, which Bright and
Lockhart addressed at that place on We'd
nesday last. that the Judges speech called
down some demonstrations of disapprobation
from the crowd, in the shape of "whoops
and hisses;" but the correspondent gives
pretty good reason for such an expression,
and there is no doubt but that the Judge pro-
voked all he received.
The writer says that the Judge "showered
down host of invectives upon the "cow-
AKDLY RUFFIANs." This accounts for the
fmilk in the cocoa nut" Senator right
stigmatized a large and respectable portion
of our citizens who were quietly retiring
from Apollo Hall, in this city, as INFER
NAL EDWARDS, and by so doing he cali
ed down the indignation of a portion of the
assemblage, who aver that their only object
was to resent the base insult offered. Ii
such men as Senator Bright and Judge Lock-
hart imagine that the use of such ePithets.
when applied to decent and respectable men
who happen to differ with them politically,
will be quietly submitted to, they much mis-
take the metal of the people Of "the Pock-
et." The conduct Of our citizens whom
Mr.. Bright stigmatzed as INTERNAL EDWARDS.
was, up to the time that he charged upon
them in that manner, courteous and respect
ful. They respectfully asked the privilege
to join issue with Messrs. Bright and Will
ard in a free political discussion, free exer-
else of the right of speech, which they had
an undoubted right to do. The issue was de-
clned, whereupon those persons on whose
behalf the request had been made, respectful
ly withdrew from the Hall, and while retir-
ing, they received this Infamous sire in the
rear' from their u. s. Senator. This was
the cause Of the disturbance which followed
from portion Of the crowd. We have no
doubt but the "host Of invectives" which
Judge Lockhart showered down upon the
"cowARDLY RUFFIAHs," as they were called
at Mt. Vernon, was the cause Of his being
"hissed and whooped ut" there. When men
holding the position Of Senator Bright, and
men who have been d'gnJGed by the high po-
sition Of Representative Of the First Dis
trict in Congress, disgrace themselves by
the application of such epilhets os the above.
to their constituents, they can expect but lit
tie respect in return, and whatever abuse
they may receive, is entirely of their own
seeking.

Han I,.i.,U his Tr,crr

tits well known the National Convention
which nominated gen. Pierce as candidate
for President. did resolve that the com
promise OF 1859 should be regarded as a iuil
and final settlement Of the question If slave
ry. Ii is boasted lso, that Pierce accepted
his nomination with the resolutions Ii is
also, well known that the President in bis
first annual message pledged himself that the
compromise measures should not be disturb
ed if he had the power to prevent it-and
that he would frown upon all attempts to re-
new the agitation of the question of slavery.
With these facts every one is conyersant.
But we see the country deeply agitated from
one extreme to the other, upon this very
question of slavery. The very men who
made pledges that it should not again be
brought up in Congress, were the first to
rush into Congress, and falsify the assurance
they had given to the people.-In conse-
quence of this violation of their pledges, the
country is oyerrun with excitement, and
these men come here and tell us that they
stick to their platform, keep their pledges,
and''have but one set of principles through
out the land!"- ViRcsnneS Ga.ette.

OrThe correspondence of the Pittsburgh

GThe correspondence of the Pittsburgh
Gazette says "the Washington Union re-
ceives directly and indirectly from the trea-
sury not less than 100000 a year; the
Sentinel about S75, 200; the Star probably
$50 600. This latter concern received, |
am informed, $4,000 for a post-office adver-
tisement which it never published at all. It's
proprietors bought few copies daily of a
supplementary issue Of the Union, contain
ing the matter paid for, and scattered them
about the city. This was construed to be a
compliance with law, and the bills for the
service were duly honored."

IMPORTANT RAILROAD CoyvESTIoN.-The
Cincinnati Commercial says:
A convention of the superintendent and
presidents Of the various railways OF Ohio
and Indiana was held at Columbus, on FRI
day, the 22d inst. Delegates from twenty
six roads were present, being larger rep
resentaiion that at any previous railway con-
vention held in the West. Resolutions were
adopted, entirely doing away with the free
pass, cor dead head' system, and after the
expiration of the current year. no pass, in
any case, will be granted. The resolutions
are SO strict in.their construction, that when
the president Of one railway shall have &C.
casion TO trae ell ever another he will be
charged full fare. The practice of passing
clergymen at half fare will also cease at the
close of the year.
But what is of far more Importance to the
interests OF the roads, is the adoption OF a
series OF resolutions, by which the cut throat
system of opposition railways lowering the
scale Of prices Tor freight and passage below
n remunerative standard will be at an end
Resolutions looking to gradual bat general
increase Of the tariff of prices for freight and
passage were agreed upon.
The new regulations are to 60 into effect
on the LIST of January next.
