The officers of the Vanderburgh County Ag-

we learn, are busy making preparations for the
County Fair, to be held October 18th. They
are much cramped for want of funds. Will
not the people one and !, all come up and aid
them? 1t is only one dollar, and that sum
gives membership for one year, and the right to
visit the Fair. Ladies, We call upon you to
help them.

me minstrel Conundrums.

The advertisement OF Woods MinStrelS, that
they would give prizes Of Lady's Breastpin
and Gold Pen for the best conundrums sent
in for reading at their concert Tuesday night
attracted some little attention, and made con-
siderable fun on the occasion. A committee Of
three was selected from the audience, who read
the conundrums. By way of variety, we give
a few of them. A number were decidedly
"stale, fat" and as they didn't take prize,
Improbable. -
After reading the conundrums, the commit
tee selected those which had received the most
applause, and left it to the audience to decide
upon their merits. The following was receiy-
ed with decidedly the greatest noise, and there
fore, coming from gentleman, received the
gold pencil:

and unlike the Sag Niehtsa Because they becom-

Why is our County Clerk like pious minister? Be-
he will not answer when terrogated spiritual
subjects. ars
Why our County Clerk evidently in league with the
Devil? Because he refuses to betray the origin of the

Why are Woods Minstrols like band of midnight

Why is sincere and true friend like garden seeds?

officials discovered a person coming across the
river, with what was apparently an oil can, hold

THE NEW YORK EXPRESS AND
SLAVERY.

In It's issue of the 2Sth, the Express copies our
queries in regard TO slaves and slavery, with com.
ments peculiar, and characterised BY little of its
usual ability or candor. We annex from the
Express:
Good Reasons for BEING slaves.
The Washington Sentinel in labored defence
Of the institution OF slavery says:
/. Name the State or country where the health
Of the laboring classes is better, or rs good a.
that Of slaves.
2. Name the State or country in which the
laboring classes are more sober, or as much so,
as slaves.
3. Or any community among whom there
are so few lunatics as among slaves.
A. Or in which 80 many children are born
and safely live to maturity
5. Or in which there are so few riots, mur.
ders, assaults or burgaries as among the slave
population.
6. Where is the laboring community which
is so cared for in sickness and old age as
among slaves2
Z. Where is the community that can ap.
proach comparison between the mutual at.
tachment Of master and slave?
g. Are there not hundred, ay, thousand
instances Of devotion Of slave TO master and
master to slave, where one can be shown Of
servant 10 his hiring master or Of master TO his
hired servant?
3. Is there laboring class in the world 50
we'll fed and doing so little work as the slaves
Of the South
TO- And, finally, is there any community on
earth, of equal numbers, in which there is SO
little vice and crime as among slaves2
What an old fool, then, was Jefferson to write
so much nonsense in the Declaration Of lndepen-
What q cttraa Ercpdorn - ia NJ va
believed as the Editor of the Sentinel does-ii
master would not buy him because he was
white we would paint I" black, !" and so sell
ourselves for niggers. Slavery ought, under
such reasoning, to be universal White men
should be enslayed as fast as possible. Republi-
can -self-government-is lie and
o crime Popery lone man only free to enslave
all others becomes Gods best institution.
We asked Of the National Intelfgencer, OF all
all others, for reply to each separate query. We
would remark, in the first place, that the article
containing the queries was not /" a labored de-
fence Of the institution Of slavery" the purport
and drift Of that article was TO show that how
much soeyer person might object to the institu
ton Of slavery its effects were not Of character
10 Justify the course Of fanaticism at the North;
that, possessing the advantages indicated by those
ten queries, people should hesitate in making such
unqualified denunciations, and insisting upon
manumission when we have before our eyes the
examples Of St. Domingo and jamaica.
There was time when the Express could take
these queries for discussion, and upon them dis
course sound wisdom 10 the North. II would
have reminded its friends that, if slavery has its
evils, yet 50 many redeeming points are there

A Young Veteran.

The Hamburg .Ne,rs contains letter from St.
Petersburg, which says:
"Captain Vernlow made his appearance in the
drawing rooms Of the capital and excited much
attention from the fact that, although he Is only
twenty-thrcc years Of age, he has seen twenty
four years of service. LIST. He has been eight
years in the army. I'd. lie has served six months
at Sebastopol, and as, according to an order Of
the Cabinet of Emperor Nicholas each month s
service there is to count year, his six months
are equivalent TO six years, which gives fourteen
years in all Sd. lie wears the order of St Anne
and of vladimir, the cross Of the order of ST.
George, and has a sabre of honor, which reckon
for ten years more; and in that way he makes up
the twenty-four years. Strange to say, although
this officer has been in twelve sorties, he has
never received wound"

The Kinney Expedition.

The New DIRK Courier says:
Portions OF the transactions connected with
Colonel kinney's expedition, which the Govern
ment desires to develop, remain surrounded with
mystery. il is believed that the proprietors o.
the steamer United States were anxious TO pro
woke the Federal authorities to sieze her. in order
TO lay foundation for claim against the Gov
ernment The Collector refused TO issue clear
ance to this vessel because the papers required by
law were not produced
But one Of the vessels supposed to be freighted
with arms for the Kinney expedition has been
seized, the Magnolia. The Government was
more anxious 10 catch her consort, the Amelia,
because that vessel has arms on board which bear
marks by which they can be recognized as having
been provided for previously arranged expedi-
ton. The arms and ammunition carried by
these two vessels were insured by offices in this
city on board another vessel and were, il is al
legged, secretly transferred to the Amelia and
Magnolia in the harbor Ifthis allegation can be
established, the insurance will, Of course be for
teted The rendezvous appointed for the several
vessels was place in Jamaica.
These arms were originally collected, and the
vessels chartered for some enterprise which the
Government has not yet been able to ferret out
They next passed into the hands of the agents OF
the Cuban Junta and the information which led
to their seizure and to the search of the Massa
chusetts, and the proceedings relative to the Uni
ted States, is believed to have been given by par
ties employed by the Junta in some of the multi
farious preparations for the invasion Of Cuba
Colonel Kinney paid $500 day demurrage for
the Amelia and Magnolia, while lowering about
the coast and keys Of Florida He may vet get
into Central America with the warlike material
on board the Amelia, but it is much more proba.
bic that the Amelia will be overhauled and seized
by United States vessel at San Juan.

presented in contrast Of what would be the case,
il liberated that they should pause and well con-
slider what is the true and just remedy for slavery
alike to master and TO slave, TO North and to
South, to constitutional obligations, and frater-
nal ties. We will ask the Express the reverse
questions.
/. Name the State or country where the health
OF the aboring classes is worse, or as bad as that
of free negroes.
=. Name the State or country in which the la
boring classes are more drunken or as much SO
free negroes;
3. Or any community among whom there are
so many unatics as among free negroes
a. Or in which so many of the children born
do not live to maturity
s. Or among whom there are so many riots,
murders, assaults, hurglaries, and thefts, as
among free negroes
| 6. Where is the laboring community SO little
cared for in sickness and old age as among free
negroes?
| !. Is there 4 laboring class in the world worse
fed, and SO idle as free negroes
| 3. Is there a community on earth Of equal
numbers, in which vice and crime so abound as
among free negroes
| Look upon this picture, and on that, and ask
yourselves, if il be not questionable policy to
convert the first into the latter class
| If those people whose moral olfactories are SO
disturbed by tho odors of slavery, had freed them
selves from the worst and more fatal stenches
| that rise in their midst, and indeed are emitted
| by the very righteous defamcrs Of slavery, one
could allow to such immaculate purity strong
expressions and some intolerance of opinion and
| practice; but when we see the war waged, not
by the sinless, but only by those
! I" Who hug the >ins they re inclined 10,
Aud danln noSt sins they have no mind TO-"
we have been less tolerant.
There is this, also-that lnanumission would
cost the slave owners some two thousand millions
of dollars; while these pious fanatics, from the
arms of their wantons, denounce drunkards with
unctuous zeal While the value of the slave
does not make slavery just, Gift be wrong,) ii is
a reason for treating the owner with forbearance
Again: citizens of the South hare The right to
| 90 10 Massachusetts, to reside, and if they have
the number, can establish slavery in Massachu-
setts itself. And yet il is deemed the ultima
thule Of outrage to claim the right TO establish il
| in the common domain, owned alike hy South
| Carolina and Massachusetts.
If the Express and other northern papers would
exert themselves to extinguish the subject of sla-
very discussion-allowing the South their consti-
| tutional rights-and thus giving the energies OF
the nation an onward progress from a united
patriotism, instead of wasting energies in excit-
ing bitter warfare, which would hasten US to the
pinnacle towards which we are travelling il
would be better for all parties.
The question Of slavery if left to itself, will
soonest and safest find its termination in that
manner most compatible with the universal
good.
We are tired of the perpetual shutting of negro
odors by our northern friends, and dstilllng from
their lips its ncrcd blackness
