Dreadful TRAGEDY.

Ihere was recently perpetrated in Indiana
one OF the most dreadful tragedies that has
ever occurred within the limits of the State.
On the 10th inst, about o O'Clock, A. NJ.
Aunty Nebraska made an onslaught upon
her cousin Bill Nebraska with inte nt 10 kill.
which ended in the death of the latter, about
2 T.. NJ. Bills general character was fair.
but he had one irredeemably bad trait in it
he was overbearingly aggressive on the
rights OF others, and would not be restrained
within proper limts-in that respect he was
an incorrglble scamp, and deserved his fate.
Bill fought with the desperation of dying
hyena, and the conflict seemed for a while
doubtful, as he was backed by the Governor
and Lieutenant Governor of the State. the
United States Senators, nearly all the n EN-.
bers OF the present Congress, aud most of
the prominent leaders Of the dominant politi-
cal party, and received said and comfor,,'
from the National Administration. to cbee-
ana sustain him. His friends also admins.
tered to him during the fight, strong doses
OF stimulating beverages, to keep up his dy.
ing spirits, under the influence of which he
would renew his efforts with frantic RAGE.
but all could not save him. Aunty was sus-
tanned by the honest and hardy yeomanry of
The country, and went into the conflict with
that cool determination which was a sure
presage OF victory, and occasionally took an
lnvigorating draught from Natures pure
fountain, which enabled her to keep perfect
command OF all her physical and moratpow-
ers. About p. NJ, Bill caved in and gave
up the ghost. A clear case of iusti6able
killing in self defence, and in defence of
truth, justice. humanity and women's rights.
FELIX.

uT Somebody takes very true and par.
tial view of things, lis follows:
lfyou would get rich, don't deal in pass
books. Credit is .'the tempter" in a new
shape. Buy dry goods on trust. and you will
purchase thousand articles, that cash
would never have dreamed of. A dollar in
the hand looks larger than ten dollars seen
through the perspective of a sixty day due
bill. Cash is practical, while credit takes
horribly to taste and romance. Let cash
buy dinner, and you will have beef STEAK
fanked with onions. Send credit to market.
and te will return with eight pair of wood.
cock and peck Of mushrooms. Credit be.
lieves in double breasted pins, and cham
pagne suppers. Cash is more easily salts
fed Give him three meals a day. and he
don't care much if two of them are made nm
OF roasted potatoes and little dirty salt.
Cash is good adviser, while credit is the
best follow TO be on visiting terms with. If
you want double chins and con,entment. do
business with cash.

1t is seldom we are call on to record the
death of one SO universally esteemed and
beloved as Mr. REILLY. For fifteen years he
has lived in Evansville, during which tim e
he has maintained spotless character, and
by his uniform kindness and gentleness, his
strictly honorable and upright conduct in all
the walks of Lille. he had secured the conf.
dence and high regard Of all classes of the
community.
Mr.. Reilly was Christian, Christian
not in name only, but in deed and in truth
In early youth he united with the Methodist
Church in his native country-Ireland, and
until the day Of his death he was ole of its
brightest ornaments. In his death the
church and the community have sustained a
heavy loss; more deeply still will his loss
be felt bv his widow and relatives, who
though they "mourn not rs those who have
no hope," nevertheless must weep bitterly
as theysemember his many virtues, and that
they shall see his face no more on earth.

REcIPRocITY.-It sill be remembered that
Immediately after the collision between the
steamship Arctic and the Vesta, boat from
thelatter ship was runover by the Arctic. One
of the occupants Of the boat, an old French.
man, was taken aboard the Arctic by a rope
thrown him by German named Keyn. When
the Arctic sunk, the old Frenchman went
down with it, ard reaching the surface, clung
to piece Of the wreck, md happening to foa;
directly in the way of The Cambria, was seen
and picked up, and it was through his direc.
tions that Capt. Luce and others rescued by
the Cambria, among whom was Keyn, were
saved. Thus, the humane act of Keyn, in
throwing a rope to the old Frenchman when
he presumed thai. his own ship was safe, n OF
only rescued the Frenchman, but himself and
Capt. Luce also. The lesson taught by this
incident is obvious and impressive.

FRIDAY MORNING,:::::::::::::OCT. a.


Evansville ana Its Coal Prospects.
We had the pleasure few days since OF
visiting the prospective coal mine, which we
have reason to believe will, through the ef-
forts of orr enterprising friend, Mr.. Kerste-
man, soon be opened into practical use, and
realize to our citizens the important fact of
having a practical, working, and profitable
coal mine right at our doors.
Mr.. Kersteman is now engaged in sink.
ing tremendous shaft, about one mile below
the city, from which he confidently expects,
within the space of few months, to mine
and deliver coal in unlimited quantities, and
of the very best quality West Of the noun.
tains. Mr.. X. iounds his hopes upon exper-
mental boring made during the past season,
the result of which proved in the highest
degree satisfactory, and confirmed the belief
of some of the most scientific men in the
country, that large veins of the best quail
ties of coal, lie concealed not far below the
bed of the Ohio, and are easily accessible,
and can be rendered immensely valuable.
With the assurance of these actual exper.
iments, Mr.. X. is now prosecuting the work
of sinking a large shaft, 2 by Is feet, upon
which he employs three setts Of men and
drives it vigorously night and day. He has
already reached depth Of so feet, large
portion of the way through solid rock, and
will with ordinary success, and the aid Of his
steam engine just put into operation, reach
his coal stratum by the first of January next
The benefit which Evansville will derive
+ from a realization of these prospects, car
only be judged by the growth and prosperity
which other towns and cities now enjoy
having risen to an enviable and prosperous
condition, with but few Of the elements o
wealth and greatness that surround Evans
vile. With the article Of coal alone, il
abundance and at cheap rates in this city
Evansville may defy the claims of any city
in the West, for manufacturing advantages
The discovery Of coal BY Mr.. Kersteman
will supply the only deficiency wanted T.
complete our manufacturing facilities. an
the day is not far distant when we shall
be exporters instead Of importers of coal.

A First Kate E1it.

If our "stern-wheel captains" don't like
the following, they need not "pitch in" to US,
as one Of their own tribe told US the tale.
A very old and somewhat pettish gentle.
man was coming up the river few weeks
ago, and got particularly out Of humor with
the captain of the stern-wheel craft, and in
his wrath damned the captains of such boats
generally. The following conversation was
heard between him and his little boy, as
they approached the "Ca,e in the Rock"
about which the lad had heard monstrous
stories.
"And is that the cave" asked the boy, as
the boat finally got opposite the hole.
ayes, my son, that is the cave"
sand, papa, did bad robbers used to live
there. and kill people!"
ayes, my boy-they stole everything ant
killed everybody they could. They were
great scoundrels."
"Well, papa, what has become Of all these
bad men!"
The old gentleman scratched his head ,ant
finally answered:
"Why you see they were nearly all cap
tured, and some were sent tojail, and som'
hung, but some Of the greatest rascais 60
away"
"And what became ofthem, papa!"
"Why," said the old man with grea
scowl. "they got away from the police off
GERS, and became captains Of these D.
stern ,cheel boats!"

CA correspondent of the Home Jour-
nal gives fearful account OF the plague
which he states to be ravagng London. The
plague which one hundred and fifty years,
ago, nc says, was brought to London in a
chest of clothes from Alexandra, and which
carried off one half of the London population,
has reaPpeared. The bones of bodies which
were burned in pits where is now Argyle
street have been turned up in cutting a sewer
and thousands have died from their contact
The hysicians state that 1t is the plague
and not the cholera which is at present ra.
vaging London. Business is suffering ter.
ribly. The stores in Regent street and
elsewhere are closed, and trsdesmen and peo-
pie OF every class are flying in all directions
London is being depopulated.

POPULAR SovEREIGNrY.-Ths is the doc
trine the Nebraskaites have preached during
the whole canvass just closed. Bright and
Petit have preached it. Let the people
rule, they say. Well, let them apply their
own doctrne. Indiana has spoken, and re-
pudiated their action. Will they now re-.
sign in obedience to this clearly expressed
will Of the People, or will they continue to
msrepresent them? They must do this. or
change their policy, or utterly repudiste
their own doctrine. From the following,
which we see going the rounds Of the pa.
pers, Mr.. Hendricks, we suppose, will hold
on to his seat, but will vote for the repeal of
that portion of the Nebraska bill which re-
peals the an,-Slavery provision in the Mis-
souri, ompromse. We do not recolect in
what paper we first saw the following Incl.
dent related, but it is so honorable to Mr..
Hendricks that we shall not doubt its truth:
Mr.. Hendricks, the sold line" candidate
for Congress, IN one of his speeches, having
expatiated largely upon the "popular sover.
marks, accosted by a worthy Quaker some.
what after the following manner:
Friend Hendricks, | understand from thy
discourse thee is much in favor of popular
sovereignty. Now, if it should happen thai
thee should be beaten in this race for Con.
cress. by friend Barbour, thee would prob.
ably regard it as an indicatio thpt the people
OF this district ure opposed to the repeal the
Missouri Compromise"
"Certainly," said Mr.. Hendricks.
"Then, friend Hendricks, would thee fee
bound by the principle Of popular sovereign
ty II vote for its restoration next winter"
Mr.. Hendricks, with some hesitation, an
swered that he would.

o. Cur readers will all recolect the
great Walker divorce case in New York,
which resulted in the disagreement Of the jury.
By consent of parties the case was SUBMIT
ed to a referee, Henry Nicoll, Esq. He has
made his report asserting that Walker had
been repeatedly guilty of adultery, without
the knowledge of his wife, and that she was
not guilty Of any such charge. He decided
that the marriage of the parties should be
dissolved; that Mrs. Walker can marry
again; and that she shall have the exclusive
custody of the children, Walker being per-
mitted to visit them once fortnight.

~ We are compelled much against our
own personal wishes, 70 decline publishing
the commune alton sent US by talented
young friend from Mt. Carmel. Its discuss
sion of the Nebraska question is out of date

tained, and interesting as it might prove 10

The distrust of the commercial communi.
ty, with reference to the issues of these in
stitutons, seems to be increasing rather than
abating. But this same feeling does not
seem to by any means to be confined to the
banking institutions of Indiana alone. The
panic, it is true, was first struck against In
diana currency. by a few Cincinnati brokers,
almost unfortunately, but the ebb Of the
swell which they produced, has returned
upon their own heads. and in several instan-
ces has resulted in their own decapitaton.
Several of the free banks of Indiana have
been compelled to suspend, but we are by
no means convinced from this fact, that the
free banking system, under judicious man.
agement, will not afford Us the very best and
the safest currency we can have. The free
banking system, in other States, has proved
this, and although temporary embarrass.
ments may be experienced by these institu-
tions during their infancy, il will be found in
the end fruitless and improbable attempt,
on the part of money spectators or other
stock jobbers envious Of competition. to
either injure the free banking system or des.
troy we'll conducted institutions under the
j. law.
'-' Most of the banks in Indiana, it is believ-
b. cd, are sufficiently well fortified to withstand
any ''run' which can be made upon them
and thus vindicate the soundness Of the sys.
TEN as well as the soivency of the banks
It is with many banks as with large ma.
jority Of business men-they can sustain
themselves in legitimate and honest bust.
ness while they maintain their credit unim
peached. But let a merchants credit be sus
pected, and run be made upon him by hi.
creditors, stimuli aneousiy, his stock in trad.
be forced into market in large amounts un
der compulsory sales, and a depreciation ant
sacrifice necessarily follows. The pani'
which now prevails throughout the West
will no doubt produce embarrassment in th
currency to very considerable extent befor
it subsidies, and it's effect upon trade at thi
peculiar season, when a sound and stabl
currency is most needed, is yet beyond hu
man calculation.
