nearly the whole time for want of little OF
the right kind of assistance to obtain justice
earlier. We learn that although no writ was
issued in the case, or any charge of felony
preferred against him, he was required to en-.
ter into a recognisance never more to come
into the State. We can cede to our Ken

more than his part. 8

A SAD CAsuALTY-rHREE GIRLS Drown.
ED.-A deplorable accident occurred two
weeks ago, near Fort Smith, in Arkansas,
on the Cherokee side of the Arkansas river
Five young girls had gone into the river to
battle and amuse themselves; the river is
very shallow, and can be forded almost any.
where. but in places there are "hoes" where
the water is very deep. The girls were
bathing and playing along the edge of a
large sand bar, where the water was no more
than knee deep, when one of them suddenly
got into one of these deep places, two others
went to her assistance, and all three were
drowned; while frightened by their cries and
struggles, the two remaining girls ran as
fast as they could to the shore. The very
seclusion and privacy of the spot that tempt.
ed the girls into the water, rendered it i'm
possible to get assistance in time to save
them. Two of the drowned girls were Sis
tiers, daughters of Mr.. Jackson King, the
other Miss Collins; their ages from thirteen
to fifteen years. The bodies of two were re-.
covered the evening of the accident, the
other not till several days afterwards.

gentleman of this State, who is in no manner
connected with the Railroad, but who il
Familiarity acquainted with the mineral and
other productions of our State. The article
was written too, without suggestion on the
part of those interested in the road, and in.
deed without their knowledge-therefore the
testimony given by the writer as to the quail
ties of the coal, &C.. may be received as the
honest convictions Of man capable of judg.
ing. No one can doubt but that this road
will penetrate and open to market, not only
one of the best agricultural regions of the
State, but the very richest mineral district
of Indiana. In this particular, the great en-
terprise will prove public blessing, in rem
dering available and useful and valuable,
that which now lies concealed in the bowels
of the earth. 1t will bring the magic touch
of the hand of man to that which at present is
worthless, and make it of untold value.

BY reference to proceedings of the City
Council, it will be seen that the committee
appointed at the Council meeting last week
to draft resolutions expressive of the feelings
of the Council in view of false and SANDER
Gus charges made against that body by the
Enquirer, have reported resolutions strongly
condemnatory of the course of that paper,
and in denial of the charges. These resolu-
tons were adopted by a vote of seven to three.
Both Fire companies have already adopted
similar resolutions condemnatory of the En-
quirer and its course. Public opinion, out.
side of these various bodies of citizens, has
stamped as infamous the ISLANDERS of the En-.
quirer and course generally. We have felt
called upon during the late excitement which
has had this result, to defend the FIRE depart.
ment and its Chief Engineer, and our City
Council. from the libelous abuse of the editor
of the Enquirer. We have discharged oul
duty, and things are now where we can leave

infamous policy of the Enquirer, has allen

now does in this community, we can in self
respect have no further newspaper connec.

UThe Enquirer objects to our telegraph
dispatches because in all we published there
were two errors. Now it is funny fact in
this age of progress, that the Daily En-.
quirer of this city has not published single
dispatch relative to the Virginia election. The
readers of the Journal were furnished with
the votes of number of counties, and pretty
much all the returns on Saturday and Mon
day. The Enquirer is slightly behind the

CAIRO DELrA.-We have received the
Prospectus of a new paper to be commenced
at Cairo, ILL.,, on the 4th of July next, by Mr..
L. G. Faxon, to be called "Cairo Delta. -
This is q name endeared to us by a thousand
happy memories, and we believe almost q
thousand good friends connect US with that
name in their memories. Indeed, we rarely
ever wander to the regions of the Mississippi,
that we are not called "Cairo Delta" just
about as often as Add Sanders, and have a
multitude of kind courtecies extended us for
the remembered magic of the old name. 1t
may then be we'll believed we have an affec.
ton for the name, and kind of ownership
Of it a. q part and parcel of ourselE There.
fore, we have been considerably surprised at
the impudence of our good friend Faxon,
formerly Of the Cairo Times, in stealing this
name and converting it to his own uses
without so much as saying "by your leave,
sir" Well, all we can say is, that he takes
that name for his paper with "good will'
attached-with reputation, which, if we dc
say it ourself, he has got to make an excel.
lent paper, business, literary and humorous
to sustain. And if he don's keep up the
name, as we know he can, and preserve the
present enshrining of the Cairo Delta in
pleasant memories. why he may look out fol
an exhibition Of savagsness on our part
totally incomprehensible to ordinary imagi.
nations.
Those who want an excellent paper from
Cairo, would do well to subscribe for the
Delta. 1t will be large and handsome
paper, ably edited, and Astounding in good.

Mr.. EpIroR:-In noticing the improve.
ments of the city you have overlook ed the
magnificent structure in course Of repair i'm.
mediately in the rear of the Sherwood House.
This Institution was nearly destroyed by
fire some two years since, and has since
stood melancholy example that even an old
lumber house was not proof against the old
devouring element. From that time it has
remained with charred disjointed timbers
and sunken roofs, the receptacle of wood,
old clothes, old barrels and worn out and
broken stoves and crockery ware. an honor
to the owner. and object of pride to the
City!!
And if such were the merits in its domaged
condition, what will it be when righted into
shape-newly covered with implanted boards
and retouched with coat of whitewash
Let all then assemble to contemplate and
admire it. UNUM.
