News OF THE DAY.-We again welcome
the Vincennes News of the Day to our ia
BILE. Nothing daunted by the fire which a
few week ago swept from them nearly every
type in their Office, the publishers of the
News at once procured an entire new office,
and again their paper is visiting its numer.
Gus patrons, better looking than ever. We
congratulate Vincennes quite as much as
we do our friends Of the News, on the hap
Py resurrection of that spicy paper fromsthe
ashes ofits late destruction. We hope they
will have better luck hereafter, and profit
enough BY experience to forthwith insure to
the highest notch.

After all the Dorcas communications, rel

we think the following note addressed to
Aunt Dorcas herself. is a very proper finale.
The writer is member Of the D0rcas Socie-
ty Of children, and is only ten years DID,
Her voice will ring merriy at the Crescent
Hall tonight, we promise. The poor here
won't suffer much, when such children as this
sprightly little fairy are among US, as ready
with their fingers to sew, and with their
voices to sing Tor that which they can't make,
all for the poor, as our young charmer is
with her pen to speak for all, and especially
for those Of the ready heart and hands Of
Aunt Dorcas:
DEAR AUNT DoRcAs:
l was SO delighted when took up the

concert, and carry out the benevoisa! OBJ

for the concert Your little nieces know

to comfort the poor. FIVE don't make our
little fingers and needles fly and practice
cur music too, then you may say we are not
worthy Of being nieces of Aunt Dercas
And oh! how glad it will make our little
hearts to see the dimes coming in to enliven
The hearts of the poor; and popular humbug
may send in his bank-notes or dimes tied up

we will let the public know who he is.
N. B. While writing the above | was in

cleared away all his foggy notions of the
concert, and he has proposed to aid US with

his favorite instrument, the Jeps-harp. In

We had hopes that Hardin would vote for
a democrat for u. s. Senator, but we give
him up now. We don't believe that any ma n
who could vote for Kilgore could bsprevail-
ed upon to vote for democratic Enquirer.
There were good many Old Liners here
who had hopes that Mr.. Hardin would betray
his constituents aud vote for and with Old
Line Democrats. They had hopes because
they ,corked with him here to secure his dis.
grace, by thus acting. But Mr. Hardin was
not the weak tool,hey seemed to imagine.
He was laughing at them, while they were
working with him-and he doubtless laughed
heartily when he voted for Kilgore, to think
of the dsappon tment Of these honest Ola
Liners here, who sought to make him exhibit
as great political rascalty as characterizes
themselves. r,-f 71fff

and Old Folks with 'em--Their home
tonight aa Crescent Hail.


Oh! now you open your eyes! Well you
may-but open your pockets and ears too.
The Dorcas Association of children, aided by
the lady and gentlemen ameteurs oil Evans
vile, will Give Grand Concert this even
ing. Well, of course you all know that, but
you don't know all, nor will you till you at
tend the concert, especially as we are going
to tell you but precious little Beforehand
This concert is to be given for the benefit of
the Poor-do you hear TINT! Probably a
hundred, for we do not know how many there
are. sweet little girls, have been working
with thread and needle the whole winter to
clothe the Poor. But the poor want some
thing else--they want victuals and fuel and
medicines, &c., and the children are deter
mined they shall have even these things. So
under the care oil older heads, but no warm
er hearts than their own, they have made all
the preparations for a magnificent Concert.
A number of ladies' and gentlemen of must
cal talent have kindly volunteered their ser.
vices, and under the direction of an excel
lent musician, are now prepared to treat ou
citizens to the best concert ever given in Ev
ansville. What more need we say! The
object is all that should be required to max,
citizens attend even poor concert-bu
when so excellent an entertainment is pro
vided, to aid that object, Crescent Hall shoul,
be, as we believe it will be, crowded to it
utmost extent. Buy your tickets in advance
il convenient, go early and with the multita
diness of your presence, galdden the heart
of the children, and tighten the burdens an,
alleviate the suferings of the wretched i'm
poverished among US.

A Slight Mistake.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, in giving CLASH
fed table of the members of the House of
Representatives, places in the Democratic list
two Congressman from California. This is an
error One Of these congressman, Gen. Dem
yer, was elected by the Democrats, but is
now one of the leading Americans in the State.
He canvassed the State for the American
ticket previous to the late election. He was
one of the twenty-six persons who made a
written agreement to canvass California for the
American ticket. He and Bigler are bitter
opponents, and have just had an official diff
Guilty (Gen. D. has been Secretary of State)
and we think the next steamer will bring a
most scathing document from the pen of Gen.
D. against Bigler, written at and forwarded
from Panama, in reply to protest of Gov.
Bigler's affecting Gen. D., which appeared the
day the latter sailed from California, and too
late for reply there. So the Cincinnati En-
quirer will please put in its list only one DEM
ocrat from California.
