DEAR JOURNAL:

INDIANAPOLIS, June ID, 1855.
DEAR JOURNAL:
You have noticed by the papers that we
had some rejoicing, on rather moderate
scale, on occasion of the Prohibitory Law
going into effect. There was no great en-
thusiasm manifested, in consequence, mainly,
of the fact, that the enemies of the law had
promulgated, they were going to, make no
opposition to it, except so far as to bring the
question of its constitutionality before the
courts. They asserted that one of their
number had been selected and engaged to
break the law, by selling liquor after the
18th; that he was to submit to imprison-
ment, then to be taken out by a habeds
corpus, and thus the matter carried up to the
Supreme Court. Also that fund of $40 900
had been raised for this purpose, and some
of the ablest counsel of the state engaged TO
manage the cause. These latter statements,
it is quite probable, are apocryphal, at least
to some extent, although it is fact that one
of our distinguished legal citizens was ten
dered $1,000 retaining fee; which of
course, with all completely in the matter,
was refused. Thus far the whole matter
promises to work admirably, and we are not
without hopes that the late liquor sellers,
will wisely conclude, both to be law abiding
citizens, and to keep their money. Please
print these facts very legiby, as l know
they will gladden. the benevolent heart OF

safe in these days to predict any human

say, that aerial navigation can never be

utility to mankind, and on the judgment of
the writer, there is no more inexcusable
trifing with ones life, than to entrust it to

unexpected but welcome Aid,

1t must be very gratifying spectacle to
the friends of the new prohibitory law, in
Evansville, to notice the zeal and spirit with
which its late bitterest opponents are now
lending their aid to secure the strict enforce
ment of every provision of the law. The
temperance men themselves could not be
more enthusiastic in seeking to bring viola
tors of the law to justice, than are some of
the men from whom they expected the least
assistance. We proudly point to this fact,
as an honor to the morality and character of
our city, and would take the occasion to ask
if there is another place in the State of In
diana, where any number of men, after com
batting, butting and damning the liquor law
generally, till the very day it came in force,
then had the decency to wheel around as
men here have done, and support the law to
the extent of their ability, and even going
about searching for violators to bring them
to punishment! Yet such are the fBcts here,
and we might mention the names of men,
known heretofore as strong anti-liquor La1r
men, (not Gnti-Liquor men by long shotD
who within the last three days have been at
the Squirrels office, earnestly DESTROYS of filing
afidavits against somebody, and examining
the law shrewdly to perceive a catch by
which to haul up supposed offender.
Now we really hope our temperance men
will not submit to being outdone by those
who have heretofore been considered anti
temperance men. We trust they will imi-
tate the example of those other enthusiastic
gentlemen, and not let man in the COM
munity, if they can help it, dodge this new
law. Ferret 'em out-watch for 'em-and
when found punish 'em as the law directs.
But don't let it be said that anti-temperance
men here are doing all the work. They have
already had one man, and temperance man
at that, arrested and fined for selling alcohol
as burning fluid" although there is not a
man in the community who believes he sold
1t with any idea that he was violating the
law Now, it becomes temperance men to
DO tAeT share of searching, and see if there
are not other "burning fuids'' being sold
which consume the vitals and souls of men.
Those who had the gentleman alluded TO
above punished, did perfectly right. if thew
felt sure he had openly broken the law. and

First Trial OF BOdiam Mines Coal.
The Evansville and Louisville packet
Rainbow has had the honor of making the
first steamboat trial of the Bodiam mines
coal! Last Saturday she went down to the
mines, and took on cargo of the coal, then
came up by Evansville, close TO the wharf
boats, and ran past like race horse. If her
speed was any test of the quality of the coal,
we should call it little faster coal than
Pittsburgh. The Rainbow never ran swifter
than when she passed here, while the huge
volumes of black smoke told that she was
using Bodiam mines coal in a manner. calcu-
lated to delight the proprietors of coal
mines. We think the officers of the Rain
bow will give their judgment decidedly in
favor of this coal. AS they have had the
first trial of it, we hope to hear their opinion
when the boat returns.

themselves that the law is not a "dead-

The Marble Quarries of owen County.

The Marble Quarries of Owen County.
We have already made allusion to beauti-
full quality of white marble, suitable for
building and other mechanical purposes, of
which there are immense beds in Owen
county, on the route of the E., /. & c.
Straight Line Railroad, now in course of
construction. In noticing this marble, in
connection with the coal and iron found in
inexhaustible quantities along this same line
of railroad, we stated that at Gosport, Owen
county, there are works for saving this
marble, which will soon be running 200 saws
by steam power, and that they are now turn
ing out 1000 superficial feet of marble per
day, or have the power to do so, for which a
ready demand is found at remuneratiye
prices, notwithstanding the remote location
of the works from all public facilities for
transportation to market. We are disposed
to believe that when this railroad is COM
pleted, the opening of these immense quarries
of superior marble to market vii be produc-
tive of wonderful results.
The whole West is now supplied with the
Vermont marble, marble very similar to
that in Owen county. Both are white, firm
and bear fine polish. Before the building
of railroads, the Vermont quarries were
carried on in ccmpara lively small scale
and only portions of the East were supplied
with the marble. Now it is sent to every
part of the Union, and has in great measure
taken the place of the more costly but very
little superior Italian marbles, for all the pur.
poses in which marble is used. Orders poul
in so fast from the West, that the works are
pushed 10 the utmost to fill them. In Rut
land county, where the principal works are
located, 100 men are now employed in the
quarries, and an equal number in othel
works connected with the quarries. There
will be raised at these quarres, during thu
present year, not less than 100000 feet o
marble. There are great many quarries il
active operation, and mills to corresp ond
There are small railroads for the CARRYING O
this marble to different points about thu
works, and for taking the marble wheI
finished off and boxed to the great ralroac
which bears it to the cities.
We have no doubt but that when tn,
Straight Line Railroad is completed, it will
have similar effect in opening new quarries
building marble saw mills, and congregatin,
hundreds of workmen where there are nov
only few-and in fact making Owen coun
ty the Rutland of Indiana. And we shal
certainly regard the opening of these marbl
quarries and our connection with them b.
railroad. as very important matter to Evans
vile. 1t is one more argument for tn
Straight Line Railroad, and one which ha
never before been dwelt upon as consider
alton of any very particular Importance in th
building of this road.

Clay County Difficulties adjusted.


We publish to-day letter received from
our Reporter in Clay county last Saturday
evening The same evening we had a con-
versation with gentleman just from Terre
Haute, who says Mr.. Edmonson, Canal
Trustees, informed him the Trustees had ac-
cepted the proposition of the Regulators
They have agreed to cut down the timber
in the Reservoir to the waters edge, and
when the water can be spared, to let it out
and remove all the timber, the Regulators
promising in return, not to NEEDLE with any
of the works of the canal. If this be true,
and we have no reason to doubt it, we may
expect the Evansville Guard home tonight.
We have no time, as the late hour we write.

that Santa Anna, surrounded by powerful

HARvEsrIEG.-Some of our farmers have
already commenced cutting their wheat, and
others will commence to-day. We need
not repeat it, that the wheat crop of this re-

0E Several of our exchanges are saying
that Gov Wright has said he would see hell
frozen over six feet thick before he would
call an extra session. Gov. Wright is too
much Of a gentleman ever to use such a
phrase. And those who attribute it to him
do him great injustice. It originated, we
believe, with the late Auditor Dunn, who is
a very profane, as well as very dishonest
man. i BrookUiHe American.
The above statement never originated any
where else than in the brain of some dishon-

there would not be an extra sesson-that
Gov. Wright had told him he "would see he'll

call an extra session. We presume Mr..
Dunn will not say we have reported his Lam

The National Debt of Great Britain.
Some of the reformers of Great Britain are
beginning TO discuss the policy of cutting
down the National Debt by some new plan.
Even the London Times has ventured upon
some singular speculation. The interests
upon this enormous obligation, says the
Times is so large, ''that it battles anything
like substantial reduction in our expenditure,
and leaves scarcely any ground for fnanciers
to operate upon. 1t amounts to more than four
times the sum required for the whole civil
service of the country together; and even at
this moment, after ali our war augmentation
is half as large again as any single item in
the list of estimated disbursements. The
navy only costs us about sixteen millions and
a half; but the funded and unfunded debt
costs US very nearly twenty-eight millions.
Suppose then, we were to announce to our
readers that the national debt had been
doubled, what would be the thought of such
an event! Yet we might make an equivalent
assertion with all but literal truth, and in
deed fall short of the truth, by going back as
far only as 1858, for the period of comparison.
In that year our whole expenditure, includ-
ing upwards af EFT 100000 for interest on
the debt, was but little over G51,000,0 O0.-
For the ensuing year, according to Sir c.
Lewis estimate, It will be GS6,339, 900,
showing difference of more than 100000
against us, and representing greater addl-
ton to our burthens than If we had to pay
the interest on the NATIONAL debt twice over"
These are indeed figures we'll calculated to
startle and induce reflection.
