WASHINGTON aud Sam.

When Stuart was painting GeHeral Washing
tons portrait he vas rallied one day by the Gener
al for his slow wolk. The painter protested that
the picture could not advance until the canvass was
dry, and that there must be some delay. Upon ar
irving the next morning Stuart turned his canvass
and discovered, to his great horror the picture was
spoiled. General > said he somebody has held
the picture to the fire. Washington summoned
his negro valet Sam and demanded of him, in great
Indignation, who had dared to touch the portrait?
The trembling Sam applied, that, ehaneiag to over
hear Waslington's expression of impatience at the
soWness of the work. and the response of the artist
that it must be dry before It could 60 on, he had
Ventured TO put the canvass before the Gre. Wash
ington, with great anger, dismissed him, and told
hun not to show his face again. But the next day,
Stuart had arrived and was preparing TO work,
Washington rang the bell. and sent for Sam. He
came in abashed and trembling The President
drew new silver watch from his pocket, and said,

Last week we noticed the poisoning ofCapt.
Joe Glasgow by drinking 'bed-bug poison in
mistake for liquor. When we wrote that ar
ticle in light tone, little did we think our
good, honest old friend Joe, would never
again rise from his couch The accident oc-
Cured last Saturday night week. For few
days he appeared to be getting better, then he
grew rapidly worse. He expired yesterday
afternoon, after suffering inexpressible fortunes
He preserved his senses to the last. Joe
Glasgow was an honest man. He was even
more than tris---he was cheerful man and a
good MANIA man whom to- lose from among
those who kne,0 him, was the loss of a smile in
dark world We had known Joe for years
and intimately, and we have made Our readers
know him through pleasant mimicry of his
peculiar German accents---and we never knew
him anything else than the same Joe Glas-
Cow that all Evansville once knew so well
but shall never, never know again.

The HIGH WATERs-We are informed that
immense damage has been done to the crops in
the bottom lands along White River, by the
recent overflow. One gentleman computes
the damage to the crops and farms along both
forks of the river at one hundred thousand
dollars.
The Evansville and Charlottesville Railroad
Company had an engine and several men at
work at the White River Bridge all day Sat
urday, pulling the drift away from the piers.
The Wabash at this point has not overflow
ed yet. But we see from our last upriver ex-
changes that it is rising, and that the upper
tributaries are very full, while reports of rain
come in from every quarter. A great deal of
damage has been done along the Upper Wa
bash by the high water. We hear of none

The Election To-day.

To-day the election of several officers in
zach county will take place throughout our
State. In many counties there seems to be a
great deal Of excitement, and party lines will
be closely drawn. The Old Liners leaders
have been especially yigilant in endeavoring to
call out their full party force. In this county
there are but two officers to elect-a county
Commissioner in place of Mr.. Maidlow, whose
time has expired, and county Surveyor in
place Of Mr.. Olmsted, resigned. The Old
Line clique of this city got up one of their
usual conventions, with everything cut and
dried before hand, and nominated Mr. Pruett
for Commissioner and Mr.. Whittlesey for Sur
veyor. Against them are opposed two indepen-
dent candidates, Mr. VIM. H. Erskine and A.
g. Adlersberg. Both are fully qualified for
the office, and will be pretty generally support
ed by all who will not follow in the lead of
the Old Line clique. We hope every citizen
will at least cote to-day, using his own judg-
ment as to candidates.

The Ohio Election

Our sister State is in burning glow of ex-
element to-day. There is considerable feel
ing over this State in view of our election to-
day, but nothing in comparison to what there
is in Ohio. Here we only elect portion of
our county officers. There, they elect their
Governor and other State officers There are
three candidates for Governor Medill is the
candidate of the Old Line party, and they will
no doubt be pretty united upon him. The
Republicans and portion of the American
party are running Chase, the regular nominee
of combined convention. But his Free-soil
antecedents make him very Objectionable to a
considerable portion of the American party,
who called State Convention and nominated
Ev-Gov. Trimble as their candidate. There
has consequently been since these nominations,
bitter triangular fight in which the Chase
and Trimble men have been probably the most
prominently bitter against each other. Ow-
ing to this division, we shall not be at all sur
prised to hear of the election of MediIl although
but for the division he would not have stood
the smallest possible chance for success. His
election, if he be elected, will form no test of
the strength of the Democratic party-win be
no proof at all that Ohio will not go against the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency in
1856, unless there be a similar division then,
which is not at all likely. But there is a pros
pect of Chase being successful In such case
Ohio may be at once set down as lost to the
Democracy in 1856 We NAV have some re-
turns in to-morrow's Journal by telegraph.

| CeFMr. Mclean, of the Terre Haute Jours
nal, recently visited this city, and on his re-
turn home wrote as follows of Evansville. 1t
is true we have not the beauty of Terre Haute,
for what other Indiana city has? Neither are
we provided with such excellent hotels, but
our business is immeasurably greater. We
thank Mr. Mclean for his complimentary
testimonial to our services in laboring for Ev-
ansville We appreciate it the more as COM
ing from an editor differing with US in politics.
He says:
This was our first visit to Evansville and
we were highly pleased with the business
character and enterprise of the city. In point
of business and commercial importance, Ev-
ansville is. probably second to no point in the
State, and NO one has contributed more to adj
vance the substantial improvement and growth
of the place than Mr.. Sanders. His paper has
always been the first to advocate every enter
prise or Improvement that would add to her
wealth or Importance. While she is far be
hind the Prairie City in point of physical
beauty, in the elegance of her private resi-
dences, in the conimofiotlsness and convent
ence of her Hote1s3 Gin which respect Terre
HATTIE surpasses any city of her population in
the West in elegant and substantial business
blocks, stiff Evansville, as a commercial en-
porium, has advantages and facilities, enjoyed
certainly by no other city in Fndiana. She
possesses too, we believe, among her citizens
men of enterprise and public spirit, whb are
determined that these local advantages shall
not be unmproyed

cepted, till further notice. The mail train will

speedy route by this road. We are glad to

The Election at Cincinnati

The Americans and Democrats of Cincinnati
have appointed committees of safety in view
ofthe election there to-day, to preserve peace.
These committees are acting together, and
have made every possible preparation by the
appointment Of Judges and clerks from both
parties, and other arrangements, to secure
fairness and peace. We are glad to see this
determined spirit exhibited by both parties
to preserve order. If any rioting should occur
both parties will have the satisfaction of know
ing they did their utmost to prevent ARRAYS on
that day. We have no doubt illegal voting
will be attempted. The Louisville journal
has been informe2 that more than one hundred
lrishmen were going from that city to Cincin-
natl, with the ayowed determination to have
revenge upon the native Americans of that
place for the killing of their countrymen in
Louisville on the 9th of August We hope
this may prove a mistake although the infor-
nation came from an Irishmcn. We trust at
all the polls to be opened to-day in this State
and Ohio, there may be peace. A determine
ton in both parties to hare peace will certainly
secure it.
