~ The New York Post, abiding to thu
awards of Premiums at the Crystal Palace
says
"The bronzed medalshave been 30 liberal
ly bestowed, and The honorable mention sc
profusely uttered, that we should think that
there are but few left, who, if unhonored with
silver. have not either bronze or good word
to soltce themselves with.
We, of course do no, agree with The juries
in all their decisions-for example, where
Powers, the sculptor, is not thought ortIy
of silver, or even bronze. but comes off with
the mea re allowance of'honorable mention
for his Greek Slave and other works in mar
ble,' for which gracious favor ou: great Amer
lean sculptor will feel, doubtless, highly
greatful."

CoMMEsDaBLE.-The young men Of Madi
son, Ind, are moving in the cause of relief
to the neede.women of that town. They
seem to regard neeJle-work as one Of the
most important branches OF business done
there now. and are out for protecting it,
The high price of fuel and provisions, ant
the extreme low prices paid for shirt-making
&C., has called forth this effort. There ar.
several of our citizens up there on visit a
this time, who are natives of Madison-bu
we suspect it is not the needle-women exact
ly that they have gone to relieve.

STRAIGHT LIxE-WEsr RoUrE-The En-
gineers of this road have run more Western.
ly line through the lower part of Lamasco,
and running in the direction of Stringtown,
which they report as highly practicable
route. They have extended their survey
about ten miles during the last three days
and DIR. Carpenter has secured the right OF
way the whole distance. The company now
have three different lines under consideration
one of which will be determined upon and
adopted on the 18th, the day of letting. The
Eastern route, running through the lower
part of Evansville might well be deemed the
most important line for the benefit and con-
venience of our city, but the difficulty in pro-
curing the right of way in time for letting,
may defeat its being adopted.
We hope the property owners on the two
upper routes will act wisely in this matter
and not force the location of this impor,an I
work beyond the proper limits to suit the bu.
siness convenience Of our people and the pub.
lie.
The Engineers speak onfdenty of hav.
ing the picks and spades at work within the
next sixty days.

The German Universal Republican Soce-
ty have published the following proclamation
10 their iellow-countrymcn in America:
TO TIE GERMANS IN AMERICA.
- The news brought to these shores by each
successive steamer from Europe, shows that
the hour of insurreciion Is near; therefore the
Refugees must organize and hold themselves
in readiness. +r-
Alta mass meeting held November o, 1853,
a Commission was elec,edfor the purpose OF
organzation-and that commission finding
unoccupied that difficult position which it
was requested TO lake, now calls upon the
German emigrat;on-in America to acknowl-
edge them as the centre ia all matters regard
ing that affair.
The Commission has adopted the follow
ing platform as the basis of its operations.
We recognize the solidarity of alLreyolu.
airy interests, our first object being. however
the delverance of Germany from its political
thraldom without our presuming to decide by
anticipation other secondary objects. We
expect that the people of Germany will them
selves decide upon their future political sys-
ten, and we plac. ourselves at the disposition
Of the Revolutionary Government.
To prevent any mslnterprctation we de-
clare explicitly that we are entirly free from
any prejudice in favor of any particular shade
Of epublicanism, aud that our whole ener-
gies shall be devoted to advance the interests
of the common cause.
The business Of the Commission is entirely
limited to America. The leader of the pa
triots shall be elected by ballot, and whoever
intends to depart must accept that place or
- l.. L. f.tl.x
citizens, he shall be designated Us best quail
! fled. .
The means of transport will be collected
by voluntary contributions Qor which re-
ceipt will be given) TO be reimbursed by the
Revolutionary Government, though for the
mode and time OF this, the Commission cannot
a.sumc any responsibility.
| The administration OF the funds is 10 re-
main exclusively in the hands of the Finance
Committee, to be elected at mass meetings oil
the contributors in the different cities aGd
towns-tltat in New York 10 be the Central
Committee. .,..l
Should news arrive from Europe making i,
adviSab' e To retard the proposed departure,
the funds will be reserved ready Tor Us at the
opportune moment.
II lis commission, in connection. with the
| Finance Committe decides upon We propri-
ely Of the expenditure Of money.
The Commission does not believe il neces-
sary to commence Immediately the collections
OF funds, but intends 10 wait for advices OF d
more decisive cnarac.sr. and then To call IN ass
meetings all over the Union. A Ii who can
in any part OF the country, be useful in for.
wafding these projects are requested To senC
there names and addresses 10 the Commiss
ion.
We expect that the patriotic, especially the
German press, will aid us in our present task
and that they will further in every way, III.
cause of the Revolution, which is the interes
Of humanity.
To our former revolutionary companions
we say, be prepared.

The Future Of Evansville.

I We have had frequent occasion TO note
and applaud the enterprising spirit that has
seemed to pervade the great mass Of our cti-
rens,- and the gratifying effects resulting
from their unremitting efforts to secure the
thrifty advancement of our city, as well as
the promotion of their own individual inter-
ests. Hitherto the business of our city has
been but little diversified, ccnfined chiefly TO
large domestic trade. and an extensive nv
er commerce, both of which are increasing
in very Aattering degree. But now, with a
large and increasing population, varied IN
their business adaptation and wants, some
thing is more required to engage their atten-
ton, and employ their hands than at present
exists. We ,cant manu- factories. Instead OF
importing hundreds Of thousands dollars
worth every year of the commonest kind OF
mechanism, goods and wares Of every de-
scription which could be as we'll produced at
home-wewant the workshops, factories and
FORCES, the skill, labor aud industry to centre
right here in our midst. We have the fncil-
turing interests Of the country to an unlim.
tied extent. The wants of our city and ad.
jacent country demand that we should turn
our attention to this subject Immediately
and in pace of being mere shippers and ira.
ders, although it be on an extensive scale
let us declare for our independence in the
production of large majority of the manu-.
featured wants of life. Our railroad connec.
tons will soon open vast intercourse with
sections of our State that have hitherto
looked elsewhere for supplies, which our To-
cation and facilities would amply enable u;
to afford.
Evansville has higher and brighter des.
tiny to attain i, the family of cities, than &c
remain longer inactive upon this subject
We have now all the natural advantages thai
any city on the Ohio can boast, to induce
capital and skill to this point for manufacture
ing purposes. We must hold out some add
tional inducements which will bring these re-
quisites here at once. We do not allude Il
this matter at this time with a view of ad
vancirg Il single idea, that has not already
been considered by every rejecting man il
the city-but we desire to call the attention
of our people to the danger of delaying The
matter longer. We must have this business
established here. and then we shall be abb,
10 cope with our sister cities in every depart
ment Of business.
