%The s'Hoosier Blade published up in
Worthington, on the Canal, is of the opinion
with correspondent of that paper, that the
E. g. C. Railroad had something to do with
the Clay county outrages through jealousy of
the canal! There is considerable originality
about this idea, but then the editor, Lord
Byron Conway, is full of originality Here
is some evidence of the power of Lord Byron
in description He is describing the country
about Worthington:
"Our meadows are beautiful, and our prai-
ries blooming with tall and fimsy grass,
that wave and dance in sunshine, beneath
our genial sky; when famed by the sum-
mer's soft and balmy breeze, sends its sweet
fragrance on the winds to be snuffed in de-
ISOLATE chimes. Here is where Herds upon
our broad Drairies raise their heads aloft and
snuff the fragrant air, and send their morn
/ ing greetings to each other. Here in those
PASTORAL elegance where warblng brooks
glide smoothly on, can be heard the pensive
and penntive bleating of young lambs
whose trembling voices echo and re-echo
upon the evening air.

Evansville

Mr. Cross, the "Richard Everett" of the
Cincinnati Times, lately made short visit
to this city. We much regret he did not
stay with us longer, or at least that while
here we had not more time to enjoy his COM
pany. He thus writes about our city:
About 6 O'Clock in the evening we reached
Evansville, a city of the first rank in Hoosier-
dom. The town has fine location, and its
means of communication with different por-
tons of the State are very good. Next to
New Albany, it is the most important city in
Southern Indiana, and indeed many persons
place Evansville before New Albany in a
commercial point of view. The former city
was lately visited by very disastrous fire,
and the 6lackened walls and heaps of rubbish
tell of heavy loss in property, and great
damage to the business facilities of the city.
Evansville needs one or two steam fire
engines and thoroughly organized fire de-
partment.
A splendid coal mine has lately been dis
covered mile or so below Evansville. The
coal is of first quality and the supply almost
inexh austible. This discovery is of almost
incalculabe benefit to the "Crescent City,"
as her citizens can now be supplied with an
abundance of cheap fuel. The new court
house, just finished, is a very handsome
structure, and is quite an ornament to the
| city.
We were pleased to meet with Mr.. Sanders,
of the Journal, and spend an hour or two in
his cool sanctum. Mr.. Sanders informed us
that his paper was never in aNmore pros
porous condition, and he has our best wishes
! for its future prosperity.
Our excellent friend Col. Drew, of the Pa
viion Hotel, gave hearty welcome, and
although his house was crowded Gas usua)
found US an abiding place. We commend
our friends to the Pavilion House.
The journey from Evansville to Cincin-
natl we made in one day, and ''barring" the
dust and heat, the ride was pleasant one.
By recent arrangement person can 60
| from Cincinnati to Evansville in one day.
and reach the latter city in good season.
This is an excellent idea, and the roads
should make it known to the public. Persons
going South can take the cars for Evansville
and thus gain nearly two days on their jour
ney. Packets pass Evansville every day.

The --latest from Lost River,

The Lost River Bulletin, whose editor APP
pears to be in some lost part of the State
where the light of ordinary knowledge can
not break in, is very abusive of the Evans
vile Journal for starting the paragraph about
Gov. Wright's determination to call an extra
session after he saw shell frozen over six
feet thick" and of other papers in the State
for copying said paragraph. 1t is little as
tonishing indeed that almost every other edl'
tor in the State should have been SO partic-
ularly green, excepting Mr. w. C. Green,
of the Lost River Bulletin. Now we assure
Mr.. Green, that Ex-Auditor Dunn did NAL Ike
the remark we said he had made, as coming
from Gov. Wright. If our Green friend
doubts this, we advise him to write to the
Ex-Auditor on the subject.
Mr. Green gives US his opinion on the pas
course of the Journal. We are not aware
That he has had any opportunity of forming
correct opinion of this paper or of its edi
tor. We have never had the honor of ex-
changing with him,nor were we aware before
the receipt of the last number of the Bulletin
that there was such paper in the State, oil
such an individual in the Republic as w
Collins Green. His fame had probably no
yet swelled beyond the verdant banks o
Lost River. We are very sorry indeed II
learn that Mr.. Green has not formed favor
able opinion of US, but shall endeavor to re
gard the melancholy matter with becominl
philosophy.

RAPID BALLOON TRAvELING-MoKs.G GOD

who were down the creek yesterday, bring
the news that person in balloon was seen
passing over Shannon's and Yaney's farms
about three o'clock in the afternoon. and that
in descending near Mr.. Aaron's, the balloon
caught on the top of tree; some persons
saw him light. and after finding out what it
was, procured ladder and took him down

Adrian, Michigan, on Friday morning at / o5
o'clock, and descended in Red Bank town

was almost frozen to death, his feet being
severely frost-bitten.

DEATH BY DRowNING.-We have been
informed by gentleman that on Monday he
and another were opposite the six mile island
on fishing excursion, when two men in a
skitf came up and remarked that the fish
would bite better over on the island, and
they all got into the skiff. In going over,
one whose name was Brooker, and who was
rowing, slipped and fell backward, which
produced some laughter. Just at that mo-
ment and when they were within twenty feet
of the shore the other man (Bennet0 fell
out o the skif and Immediately sunk and
was not seen afterward. They both lived in
Utica, Ind Lou. Jour.

How'll Works.

Among our exchanges we number almost
every paper in Indiana. We have carefully
scanned their columns since the liquor law
went into operation to observe far as posi-
BILE the practical workings of the law. Thus
far, in every part of the State, the law
seems to have gone into force without any
organized resistance. Outward obedience
at least has been given, although some few
Old Line papers have shown delightful dis
position to have the law violated if possible
by encouraging resistance all in their power,
and endeavoring to produce dissatisfaction
with the law. Wherever there have bee
open violations Of the law, they appear to
have been at once followed by severe punish
ments. The friends of the law appear to be
doing their duty, and without using persecu-
tion. All over the State they are exhibit
ing firm determination to see the law
carried out. In our Old Line exchanges we
occasionally meet with sneers at the law
and at the friends of the law, and an occasional
groan of sympathy for those whose business
of retailing liquor has been injured by the
aaw-but those do no harm, and as they ap-
pear to afford relief to the burdened spirits Of
the editors, it is well. Thus far, the law
appears to be working admirably. That is
the conclusion we have come to after glancing
over the columns of nearly every paper in
the State.

The horrors OF war!

BY the following from the Terre Haute
Prairie City, it will be seen that our brave
Evansville boys have been suffering under
the extreme "horrors Of war;
We have but little news of Importance
from the seat of war in Clay county. The
Evansville boys, to the number of some sixty
or seventy FIVE, are on hand guarding the
Canal. Some of them are getting extremely
tired of the fun, not because OF the warm
reception they received from the mob, but
because, as will be seen by the following,
which is the substance of a dispatch received
from them one day last week by Bement g.
Co., of this city, they have nothing to operate
upon mechanically and med cinaILy. The fol-
lowing is the substance of the order:
''Two gallons of Whisky for mechanical
purposes; one gallon and a half of Brandy
(best quality for medicinal purposes; packs
Of Cards; 10 Clay Pipes; 200 Cigars, and
some Smoking Tobacco
Bement & Co., not being the properly con-
stituted agents to sell liquors for mechanical
and medicinal purposes, refused, of course.
to fill the order.

Sam and his Platform.

Yesterday we alluded to that part of the
platform of the American National Conven-
ton, which refused to interfere with existing
laws on the subject of slavery. We say
now as we said then, that we believe the
Convention took the only plan in adopting
this resolution, which they could have taken,
if they said anything at all, to prevent dam
gerous agitation on the slavery question. II
the part in connection with this resolution
were equally as sensible as this, the platform
would find comparatively few to object to it.
We are not sure but what the Free.soilers
themselves might possibly have concluded to
swallow it, if the platform had said nothing
about legislation in territories, &C., &C.
We think this was altogether unnecessary,
and therefore had better been left out.
The Old Line papers are generally pretty
furious at this platform. They see danger
in it-but danger to the Democratic party
only. They are filled with apprehension
but only for themselves. They are very sure
Sam is dead--that is, they only wish he were.
Now we can tell them Sam is not yet dead
Long as SO corrupt and imbecile an admin
istration as that now in power has an exist
ence, that long at least must exist the party
which has been started, in opposition to just
euch demagogueism, official corruption, and
administrative weakness, as that upon which
Is founded the Pierce dynasty. And long as
there is so-called Democratic party, whose
leaders are ever ready to sacrifice the best in
terests of the country for party success, and
regard success as but the renewed possession
of "Lhe spoils,' and who habitually use the
basest means for the baSest purposes-that
long will the party created to oppose and
crush all this, live, and live to conquer in the
end. Americans, Americans in spirit as well
as in name, are yet to rule America.

Western Division OF the Ohio and Mis-
sissiPpi Re. H.

The St. Louis IntelIgenccr of the 18th,
says that the note for $I,I58,O due by the
Ohio & Mississippi Railroad Co. to Page &
Bacon for money advanced on the "construc-
tion'' of the road, was due on Wednesday
last and not paid, and that the Trustee was
on Thursday instructed to take possession
of the road and its franchises, in behalf of
Page q Bacon. He did so, and the road will
henceforth be run and managed by the
Trustee, until the entire debt OF Page & Ba-
con be paid from its net earnings, or by sale
of the road under the deed of trust. The
Intellgencer says that the public will not be
inconvenienced by the change of proprietor
ship. The trains will run as usual, and the
track-laying is pushed ahead vigorously, and
the road will be opened to Vincennes in a
few days. About twenty miles of track are
yet to be laid, and it is thought that suffi.
Gent force is employed to complete it by the
first of July.

FEELING ON THE BATTLE-FIELD.-The Cri-
mea correspondent of the New York Sun,
writing from Balaklava, gives, from the ex
perence of a wounded Frenchman, an
opinion with regard to that which is felt by
the soldier in time of conflict, which is some
thing as follows:
Before the battle begins it is usual to feel
no little tremor, and many cheeks, which are
known to be in communication with stout
hearts, blanch visibly. AS the conflict be-
comes imminent, courage returns, and with
the first flow of blood an enthusiasm is raised
which constantly increases, and very seldom
flags in the least until the last shot is fred
The effect of seeing comrade shot down is
generally to excite an unappeasable thirst
for vengeance against the foe, though in the
end one stgets used to it,"
When wounded less than mortaly, it is not
usual for the soldier to be imme diately aware
of the fact, unless some bones are broken
A sabre may be run through any fieshy part
of the body, and even a bullet lodge in
dangerous proximity to the vitals, and he for
some time be totally unconscious of even q
scratch. When life is taken by single
blow, the effect is varied with the nature OF
the wound, as well as with the temperament
of the man. Sometimes the poor fellow will
/ leap high in the air, giving piercing scream.
and again be will lie down quietly. Oitener
however, he simply falls dead without a
struggle. In most cases the features of the
killed remain unchanged for long time
after death-eyes open and brilliant, and
perchance, a smile Illuminating the face
! To see such an one it is difficult indeed to re
aize the presence of the grim monster
| Death.
