The Editor of the Enquirer has actually
threatened to write many more editorials like
his famous call to the big chieftains Of Van
derburgh and Posey counties, to assemble
around the Council Fires and smoke the cal
umet, and fling out to the triumphant
breezes of Heaven a banner which has never
yet Jaltcred, which has never yet been un-
kissed by the air of victory" and also to holc
q consultation on the salvation of America
Now we sincerely ask him, in view Of this
threat, if he has no respect to the already
unstrung nerves Of this community! Can
nothing prevent him carrying out a threat
the very suggestion of which 10 enough to
throw weak old ladies in spasms and set the
children to crying! Is there no way Of stop
ping this terrible man! Another editorial
like that? More editorials like that! Impos-
sible-there never has been but one such
editorial, and our neighbor was its author
The only hope we have of being saved from
ga few more Of the same sort, is our solemn
belief that cur phrenzied neighbor in a whole
life time could never write just such another
article. If we thought he could, and the
nerves Of our citizens could bear it, by all
the gods we should crack him up day by day,
and week by week, and year by year, If we
could be spared for the labor, till it came out
But we think his Democratic friends will in
terfere. We don't believe they could stand
any more such editorials, and we don't pre-
sumo they ,couH stand them. The Demo
Gratis of Posey have kicked up against even
one such editorial. What would they not dc
if many more should startle the party!
But this precious and loveable and vera
cious neighbor denies having made the cal
for a Senatorial Convention! Really, w
thought all his remarkable, we may say hi'
Unprecedented editorial, was intended as ,
rallying call to the Democrats Of Posey ant
Vanderburgh. But he denies the call-so IA
so good-stil we do hope he will never dis
own that editorial. We could not forgive
him for Mat-yet unless he does disown il
he cannot truthfully deny havirg made cal
and a very astonishing call, for the said Sen
him do it. Of course, we know very we'll h.
would not have made such nor any call, OF
his individual responsibility, unless for al
Erie indignation meeting. The little cliqu
that holds our neighbor between its thuml
and finger, and turns and twists and roll
him at its will, and which has so long dleta
ted to the Democracy of this and neighbor
ing eounties-it says when Conventions ar
to be called and how they are to be called
But it has missed igure this time. How
ever, we guess our respectable neighbor
sick of his call by this time, and We shall no'
"let him slide. +"

The Pittsburg Gazette contains the follow.
ing account of the explosion of ferry boa,
at that place.
As the ferry-boat General Scott, one of the
Jones's line, was about leaving the lower
landing on the opposite side of the river on Sat.
urday morning. about seven O'Clock on heI
return trip to this city, both boilers exploded
one being thrown over Lees ferry-boat into
the river, distance of four hundred or five
hundred feet, and the other abou, one hun.
dred and fifty feet, into the water, opposite
the toll.
The boat is badly injured, the floors des
troyed, and the framework and wheel house
on one side carried away. The engine is al.
so destroyed. AT the time OF the acoidcr
there were eight passengers, in addition to
the employees. Three women were unin.
jured, and little boy and girl were slightly
injured, and three men were more or less in.
jured.
Jacob Hadly, the engineer as insts n,anc.
ously killed. BY the force of the explosion
he was thrown upon the shore, where he was
picked up dead.
Michael Nouelty, frrmer, of Noblestown
was blown into the river, but succeeded in
swimming to raft. One of his legs wa:
broken and he was otherwise badly injured
The steersman, Cyrus Davis, was very
badly injured. One Of his thighs and an nrm
are broken, his skull 10 fractured, and hi.
head and face scnlded by steam; he is in ;
precarious condition.
John Kinny was blown into the river, Blu
was rescued. He is very badly injured from
scalds and fractures. HERS now lying insen
sible.
A lad named Philips was slightly cut OF
the head. and little girl named Floyd wa
also hurt.
We gather from the testimony that th'
boat was FIVE years old; the boilers wer,
second.handed; the boiler heads were replac
ed last fall; the Scott and Pawnee were il
the habit Of racing with the Walker; the boi.
ers on the ferry.boat were not sufficient t
generate enough steam to carry the boa
along without pushing.
1t is the general belief that the acciden
was caused by the lowness of water in tn
boiler.

AZ our readers must feel general interest
in knowing something of the progress of the
trial Of the Wards, OF Louisville, for the mar
der of Butler, and as this trial has just COM
menced at the Hardin county Court, we shall
~ the occasion offers give news Of its pro-
gress.
At the opening of the Court last Tuesday
morning, the Judge announced that the MOUSE
must be cleared Of all but prisoners, attor
neys. witnesses and jurors. This oecasioneo
a discussion az to the admission Of newspa-
per reporters. 1t was fully settled that they
might remain in Court with the understand
ing that no publication ofthe testimony should
be made until the conclusion Of the case.
The Jury were empanelled in two hours.
The twelve men were chosen from sixty-four
summoned. The selected Jury are generally
farmers.
The prisoners were brought to court in the
morning accompanied by their parents, Mrs.
Mat. F.. Ward and two younger brothers.
The correspondent of;he Courier says: Mat.
Ward does not look at all well, and appeared
supported BY his crutch and leaning on the
arm of relative from Arkansas, Mr.. Flour
noy. His face is very pale with slight
flash high up on each cheek. His dePort.
ment in court was that of languid. mentally
and physically snfeebled person, throughout
whose entire system disease and care had
ru,hlessly ravaged. II was but occasionally
during the day that he held any conference
with his attorneys. He seems content with
their skill in managing his case. The othe'
prisoner, Robt. J. Ward, jr, had an air o
non care, about him.
Upon motion, the cases were separated
and Mat. F. Ward put upon his trial first.
Il The morning session having been spent il
settling the prel minaries it was not until TIT
Having had those for the prosecution sworn
and forbidden to enter the court house unit
they were called for examination; those fo
the defence were likewise called, sworn, ant
similarly instructed. This latter order of TIT
court was objected to and argued against b!
the counsel of the Wards, but without wall
The afternoon was occupied in the exam
instion Of witnesses, all boys who were in tn
school at the time Butler was shot. Tn
cross-examnation il said TO have been SO sc
we're by defendents' counsel and such effort
made to perplex and confound the m, that tn
Judge had to interfere. Tom Marshall an
Mr.. Carpenter had a highly excited comba
!, Of words, and the sheriff had to call them I
> order, and request them to keep cool! lt~s
thought tho examination Of the deiendent
: witnesses would be commenced Oh Wedne'
day.

" Southern fruit, of most descriptions, is
unusually scarce and high in all our West
ern markets. There are few or no oranges
or lemons in the hands of wholesale dealers,
and what few there are "outside," sell Mt
from 10 to ~ per box. Malaga, and in fact
all tropical productions, particularly Of the
grape species, were never known scnrcer or
much higher.
