%It will have been observed by our
readers that the Old Line Conv ention, held
in the woods last Thursday, didn't endorse
the Administration. No such resolution
no word of comment or compliment was
heard on that "interesting occason.''-
Plerce's Administration seems to be sunk so
low in the popular estimation of the '.invin-
cible'' Democracy of Knox county, that he
cannot elicit syllable of applause. Pierce
has rewarded ONE of the "leaders" with fat
Offices, but they have forgotten him. He
isn't worthy of their notice. They lack the
courage, or the inclination, to approx e or
condemn his A administration. This neglect
will be sought to be apologised for, on the
grounds that if such a resolution was passed,
it would drive of large number of ''their
old line Wing friends" This is the shallow
bait held out 10 catch Wing votesI This is
the crInging manner in which the proud, in
vinclble Democracy of Knox county, wor.
ship at the ruined shrine of the old Wing
party! This is the manner in which Demo
cratic independe. ce, Democratic fair deal
ings, and Democratic conscientiousness, are
offered up on the altar of expedency! They
dared not endorse this weak and imbecile
Administration, for fear of losing three or
four votes =! Is such party as this wor-
thy the confidence of any honorable, indie
pendent man! Are they worthy to be en-
trusted with the destnies and the RESPONSE
bilities OF government! Their course in this
respect indicates that they are actuated by
bad principle. If they would make such
great concession for SO small considera-
ton, what would they do when their own
private interests may be greatly subserved!
Vim. Gae.
Our Old Line Convention assembled ct
Mechanicsvile last week, also failed to en-
dorse the Pierce Administration, and we no.
tice nearly every other Democratic Conven-
tion in the State and in the country has
committed the same oversight. We pre-
sumo this aoGS mere oversight, for we never
saw anything yet mean enough and small
enough and worthless aud rotten enough be-
fore, not to receive the endorsement of Dem
ocratic Conventions if Democracy had faith
cred the thing. If the Pierce Administra-
ton has sunk SO low that it cannot receive
the endorsements of every Old Line Demo
cratic Convention, it is beyond political
grace.

Rodiam Mines Coal.

The agent of the Bodiam Mines, situated
just below Evansville, has sold coal to a
number of steamboats,, and we believe with
one exception, it has given general satistac-
ton, as good steam-making coal. We
hope to see this coal generally tried by our
steamboat friends, as, if it is a good article,
its position is so convenient and price so
low, as to make its use very advantageous.
The mines are situated close to the river
bank, mile below Evansville, and the coal
and cars. We presume the coal can be OBJ
tanned either at the mines or at our wharf
One of our foundry firms has given this coal
athorough,trial. Messrs. Kratz & Heilman
are old experienced foundrymen, and fully
acquainted, by actual test, with all the prom
inent qualities of coal found on the Ohio
River. By the following certificate it will
be found that they give the Bodiam Mines
Coal their decided approval. They consd-
er it equal to Pittsburgh coal for generating
steam, and superior in many respects to any
other coal they have ever tried. Here is
their certificate;
We the undersigned having purchased
few hundred bushels of the Bodam N ines
Coal, and fairly tested it for steam purposes,
do without hesitation, pronounce it superior
in many respects to any coal we have
heretofore made use of in our furnace, and
for generating steam, consider it fully equal
to Pittsburgh coal.
And, do hereby take pleasure in recon-
mending its use, as the cheapest and most
reliable fuel for steam, and all other purpo-
SEES.

OF The fact is noted by the New York
Express, that Abbot Lawrance lacked but
one vote in the Wig National Convention,
of being the nominee of the Wing party for
the Vice-Presidency, and consequently mar
rowly escaped the Presidential chair, after
wards, on the death of Gen. Taylor, filed by
Mil!ard Fillmore. The same paper states
that the estate of the deceased is estimated
at $3 600, 900.

WHITE GIRLS IN TOBACCO FACToRIEs.-
The Express noticing the manufactures
around Petersburgh, Va says that in conse-
quence of the breaking up of cotton mill
there recently namber of young white girls
employed there went TO work in the several
tobacco factories in that city. They work in
the manufacturing department aud in sep
arate rooms from the colored hands.

~ THE Cincinnati Commercial SAYS that
it sis told upon authority not to be Questioned
that women and children, rushing from their
burning house, were driven-actual ally thrown
back, to perish in the fames.'' Such mons
trous lies are PUBLISHED far and wide by the
S1g-Nicht papers as unquestionable truths,
though no name of any human being is given
as authority for them, whilst the solemn af-
fdavits of respectable men and women are
held to be utterly unworthy of the slightest
credence. The certificates of persons of
good standing are treated with dsrison, the
oaths OF citizens of unimpeached and lnim-
peachable characters are thrust aside with an
affectaton of contempt by these Sag-Nicht
editors, and nothing is considered entitled to
belief except horrible anonymous rumors as
wildly absurd as the dreams of an old witch
suffering from a score of Nightmares.
Who dares to publish or to say in this
feommunity that ''women and children, rush
ing from their burning houses, were driven,
actually thrown back, to perish in the
hames?"- Lou. Jour.

News FROM EUROPE IN SEVEN Days
we are enabled to announce that the New
York Associated Press have signed contract
with the Newfoundland Electric Telegraph
Company for the early transmission of news
by the European steamers touching at St.
Johns K. B. A letter from New York
agent says: "We expect to have news every
week, SeUen days from London
The cost of the news thus transmitted will
be not less than $4,000 per annum. In
common with the Associated Press of all
sections ofthe country, we shall participate
in the benefits of this arrangement, which is
on the same principle as that with the Hal
flax Line.

The CANAL.-We learn from Mr.. VIM.
J. Ball, Chief Engineer on the Canal, that it
is in good order throughout The heavy
rains had not affected the lower secton.-
Laborers are now engaged in clearing off the
timber from the Birch Creek Reservoir, and
it is anticipated they will have it all or nearly
all off by the time it is necessary to let the
water in. The rains have made the creek
high at times and this has somewhat discom-
NODDED the laborers.

6TThe New Albany Ledger of June,
1854. strong Old Line Democratic Anti
American paper, used the following VOID /:
'tThe impudent dictation of some of the
turbulent and discontinued spirits of the old
world, who no sooner set their foot on Amer
lean soil, than they commence carping at
our institutions, and complaining that they
DO not come up to their standard of pure re-
pn6licanism and democracy, ought not 10 be
submitted to.''
Now it is of the very decided opinion that
every thing Should BE submitted to that for.
eigners choose to demand. 1t is glad of an
opportunity to show foreigners it is ready to
submit to any and everything from them.

0TSome of our police officers were very
much needed at the Shamrock House on
Water street last Sunday evening. There
appeared to be regular muss indoors from
the ground floor to the top. A neighbor
dropping in to see what was going on, had to
knock two men down to get out! He con-
cluded it was too much of "free fight" to
stay.

LIQUOR SEIZURES On Saturday last
there was quite considerable stampede
clicked up" by the city officers, among a
number of institutions suspected of keeping
liquor for illegal sales. Some four er FIVE
hundred dollars worth of the "critter," was
seized By Marshal Dodson and Deputy Sheriff
Crooks, upon warrant issued from Mayor
Hook, from Jackson Longdon's establishment
and delivered to the possession of J. B. Ed
munds, one of the county agents. A small
'antity of the article. and "beggarly ac-
count of empty bottles," was taken from the
possession OF Mynheer Peter Reiglan, o. the
Cincinnsti House, and delivered to the same
place. Several other suspected localities
were duly Searched, but very small uant-
ty of the contrabaHd found.
The persons from whose possession the
liquor has been taken instituted suits in tres.
pass against the officers for the seizure, which
suits will be tried at the next term of the
Circtit Court, if the time will admit, or some
other disposition of the case is not made
