incredible in looking back few years when

berland, that it can now be made in about
days; and that there could be at this time
one continuous railway from Evansville 10
the Atlantic seaports. But our running time
was but one day and % hours to this city.
We lost I3 hours Terre Haute, hours In
dianapolis, 81 hours Crestiine, % hours Pitts

to me there ought to be an evening train
from Terre Haute to Indianapolis to connect,
with the Evansville train in place of being
detained there over night. cannot see any
reason except Terre Haute 81 25 reason
why passengers from the South should be
detained there till next morning. We know
it is not because ofwant OF sufficient business;
and as they have us, their liberality gives us
choice of t,oo things, lay over or take it foot.
Tcrre Haute is the same town that thought
the largest canal in the world, commencing
at Lake Erie and terminating at Evansville
on the Ohio river. thereby connecting the
Canadas with the South by an artificial river,
might as well have stopped at Terre Haute
and the Southern part of it turned over to the
gambols of muskrats. The feelings that
Terre Haute, Vincennes and Louisville bear
to Evansville are not of very fattering ma
ture, being about the same as wolf bears tc
lamb. And as for Vincennes it put me in
mind of the ruins of an old steam mill. Yor
see the dilapidated machinery laying around
but the engine, the propelling power, il
gone. would give you an item or two abou
the old Post town, but as it is the home o
John Ross, forbear. As for Louisville, sht
is hid from the railroad view of Nashville b.
insurmountable hills. aifording excavation
and embankments well calculated to throw
a railroad director into spasms these times
while the people of Nashville. Henderson

WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH Q
New Hampshire Election.


We observe that the Old Line papers about
the country are modestly "coming down."
with the doleful admission that the election
in New Hampshire "has resulted disastrous
ly," Democracy has suffered Temporary de-
feat" "the Granite State will be controied
by Fusion for single year only" &C., &C.
These Old Line organs have become so ac'
customed to chronicng "temporary defeats"
and disastrous results" during the last
year, that they are beginning to do it with
grace worthy a more palatable calling
With another years practice, these poor fel.
lows will be prepared to submit in becoming
humility to their disastrous" fate. At pres
ent they cling to the old wreck of Democra-
cy, and in the last agonies of death, like the
brave but indiscreet Lawrence, fiat upon their
backs, they exclaim-"don't give up the
ship" They blubberingly swear they will
thrash the big boy "Fasion." fever they
get big enough. Now let us post up the
"blotter" of this "temporary defeat" and see
what the chance is for the Old Line Pierce
Democracy, to offset the balance against
them in single year. ia
Item 1st.-"The People" have elected
their Governor, with the balance of the State
Ticket, by large majority, despite the large
odds of the patronage of the State and Ma.
tional Governments against them.
Item 2d.-The People have secured both
branches of the State Legislature, by about
four to one.
Item 3d.-With this Legislature "the peo-
pie" purpose to elect two United States
Senators, in the place of the two Old Liners
who last represented the State. There will
be no "staving off the election" nor "break-
ing of quorurus."
Item 4th.-The full Congressional dele
CATION has been elected by the people, good
and true men, leaving Messrs. Kittridge &
Co. for two years to the enjoyments of pri-
vate life.
The above items will suffice, without 90.
ing into the details of the victory, 70 define
what the Old Liners call "temporary de-
feat" This series of disastrous results" te
the pittiful Pierce Administration, dates
back to the August elections of "a, and the
good work of annihilation has been pursued
until the war has been carried to the very
Gibralter of the bogus Nebraska Democracy
and that too has fallen before the resistles.
power of the popular will. The Granite
State, though the last to yield to the crush.
ing force of popular sovereignty" makes
honorable amends for the delay, by her free
and full illustration of the proverb: "many
have done virtuously but thou excellest then
all" AS last consolation, the Old Liners
boast that their majority in the U. s. Senat,
cannot be overcome by the "disastrous re
suits" of the present year. They doubtles
hope to exert negative influence to defea
the will of the people, while that brief au
thority remains.

THE WErG TRIcK.-Will the Old Liners
persist in saying that Know Nothingism is
nothing more than "Whig Trick" since the
total annihilation of their party in New

just transpired there could not have been
achieved by the Wings alone, especially
when large number of them are known to
be the followers of Seward and Greedy, the
bitterest apposers of the Know Nothing or
