The Mails.


Postmaster Stinson started yesterday TO
Indianapolis to endeavor to make arrange.
ments for carrying the mails directly through
on the trains of the E. e. C. and Richmond
and Terre Haute Railroads, without delay
ing at Terre Haute. We hope he will be
successful. In the meantime, as the open.
ing the mails here will have to be done BY
his assistant without aid, citizens must exer-
else little patience of evenings. The new
arrangement by which passengers are taken
through to indianapolis and Cincinnati in a
day, commences this morning. The cars
will leave here at o'clock, and arrive a,
Terre Haute at ll.3o. They will arrive
here in the evening at o'clock.
The Railroad companies, as we have
learned since writing our article ofyesterday.
have nothing to do with making any arrange.
ments to affect the carriage of mails as de-
sired. The Richmond and Terre Haute
Railroad Co., 10 bound at present to deliver
the MALE BY certsin hours at Terre Hauts
snd indianapolis, and until his contract is
changed, the mails cannot; be put straigh,
through. II 10 the duty ofthe mail agent to
s@sct such changes - may secure the pro-
per connections, and We trust the efforts OF
surRostmastsr and the agent will be success.

A beautiful issue on "party principles" in :
deed! The issue was made on the Know Moth

not dare bring party principles in the cleo
ton. They did not dare nominate a Dem.

or call it Democratic ticket. They CON-
bined the Old Line vote, the Catholic vote,
the Whisky vote and the full foreign vote,

SEsEcA LAxE.-The Geneva Gazette Of
recent date, says; Our citizens for two days
past have been considerably interested, and
some of them great deal excited, in refer
ence to strange, and thus far inexplcable
phenomenon, that has occurred in Seneca
Lake. During the whole of Wednesday and
yesterday, the waters would rise and tall, in
spaces Of time varying from ten minutes to
haf an hour, continuously through those
days, from FIVE inches to t~o feet in height.
Just after shutdown on Wednesday evening,

'ofthe fall and time. In fifieer minutes the
water l64 inches, when it e6mWeaced rising

But the idea Of an able.bodied man going to

big knife to whip an individual who only
weighs one hundred pounds, is another rich
anecdote to tell about the constables. We
presume the others are already provided, and

Letter from NissS.

We take the liberty of making the following
extracts from private letter written US by
"Mose," our old and popular Cairo itemical
correspondent, whose late misfortune In
being burned out we have already noticed
We need not say we most heartily sympa.
thize with him in this sad reverse. for Of
that we have written him-nor need we say
his many and warm friends here give him
the full measure Of their sympathy. He has
it all, and our full hopes that he may soon
be sup and doing" again, with his heart
light as his pocket, but prospects heavy
with thu burden of m UGH brightness:
CAIRO, ILL.,, May 3, 1855.
DEAR ADD:
You have ere this, doubtless heard of our
Cairo fire-another item only, in the scores
that monthly occur in Cairo. Tuesday
night, Gath ult., orr store house took fire
from the adjoining building and was entirely
consumed. Our stock of goods, which had
just invoced, amounting to SlO,430, was
consumed, with the exception of about ST..
500 saved in damaged condition. Our
house was valued at $4,000. On the
whole we had an insurance Of $4,000. You
will see therefore. that for persons of our cap
ital we have suffered severely, indeed we
are pretty nearly "broke," and expect to re.
cover only from the greatest promptness on
the part Of our creditors. The total loss by
this FIRE may be arrived at as follows:
AFTER g. HarrelI, Sl2's3O; I. l.. Harreil
$4,000; John Cheek. $4,000; D. C. Stewar,
$4,000; wharf.boat Kendall, $4,000; tota
s3o,9so.
The fire is generally considered the work
of an incendiary instigated by desire fol-
revenge for the death OF Joe. Spencer. Con.
siderable excitement has prevailed since
the FIRE and steps are being taken for the or.
ganization of q night police.
1t seems, by thunder, that nobody evel
sustains any losses in Cairo except such Of
US as came from Ohio. Look at this picture

u The Washington Star Of Saturday
says that the city was full of rumors that
Governor German Of Minnesota had been
removed. The Chicago Times Of Monday
has the following:
We hear it said by one whom we believe
to be good authority that Gen. Shields is to
be appointed Governor of Minnesota Ter.
riory, il place OF Willis A. German, who is
to have colunelcy in one of the new reg
iments. The General is now in Minnesota
and it is understood that his acceptance Of
the proposed gnbernatorial chuir depends on
his liking for the country over which he is
to exercise authority. The contemplated
change is one that will be very acceptable
to the people Of the Territory. and il will be
profitable to German, who will secure there
by life.lease of a place in which he can
exercise his fondness for gasconade, 10 his
hearts content.

.CAs Nationality OF the American
Party.

The anti-American organs throughout the
country are laboring with zeal worthy of
better cause, to establish the identity Of the
American party with Abolitionism. To &C.
complsh this great, (and as they think deadly
sim) no effort is being spared, no story left
untold, and 40 calumny or perversion OF facts
too base to be laid in contribution to this pet
scheme of Old Hunkerism. II by any posi-.
biIi,y. il could be established beyond a doubt
that the new American party savored more
of Aboiitionism than either of the old de-
funct parties, we cannot see what Old Line
Democracy can gain by that fact being es-
tsblshed. II the Old Line press thinks to
conciliate the South in its favor, by proving
that the American party, North, is opposed
to slavery, it had better be looking little
at its own history and position. II the
South should honestly and conscientiously
ignore the American party. could it with
any degree of propriety or consistency en-
brace the Abolitionized Administration par
ty! This Old Line Pierce party has declared
itself by word and act to belong to the genus
called "Softs," a revised but not improved edi.
ton of Van Burenism. This Old Pharasa-
zeal organization, nevertheless claims to
out-Herrod himself in its nationality. but
when cabinet is to be formed, or public
patronage to be distributed, then il acts Out
its real nature. Then it is that such men as
Bronson are required to leave the track to
make room for "Soft'-which, being in
terpreted, means an arrant demagague gal.
vanized with free-soil proclivities. such az
are known to be the general character oil
Pierce's appointees North. The South un.
derstands this, and don't desire dictation
from any such source. The probability Is
also, that the South is as well enlightened
upon the subject of Native American princi
pies as the Old Line press.

GOING HONE.

We said that the days were evil,
We felt that they might be few,
For low was our fortunes level,
And heavy the winters grew;
But one VI. o had no possession
Looked up to the azure dome,
And said, In his simple fashion.
"Dear friends, We are going home!
.srhis world 10 the same dull market
That wesried Its earliest sage;
The times TO the wise are dark yet,
90 hath been many an age.
And rich grows the toilins n ton,
And red grows the ba tie spears.
And dreary with desoaiio.s
Roll onward the laden years.
"what need Of the changeiess story
Which time hath so often told,
The spectres that How glory,
The canker that comes with gold,-
That wisdom. aud strength, and honor.
Must fade like The fair sea foam,
And death is the only winnerf-
But fri nds, we are going hoDei
'sThe homes wehad hoped to restin
Were open 10 sin and strife,
The dreams that our youth was blestin
Were not for the war of life:
Forcare can darken the cottage,
As well as the palace hearth,
And birthrights are sold for pottsge,
But never redeemed on earth.
'sThe Springs have gone by In sorrow,
The Summers were grieyed away,
And ever we feared tomorrow,
And ever we blamed to day.
In depths which the searchef sounded.
On hills which the high heart comb,
Have trouble and toll abounded:
But, friends, we are going hone!
"Our faith was the bravest builder,
But found not stone Of trust.
Our love was the fsirest glider,
But lavished their wealth on dust.
And time hath the fabric shaken.
Aud fortune the clay hath shown,
For much they haze changed and taken,
But nothing that was our own.
ssThe light hat to us made baser
The paths iich so many choose,
The gifts there was found no place for,
The riches we could not use:
The heart that when lite was wintry
Found summer in strain and tome,
With these IN our kin and country:
But friends, we are going home!"

hauled up and fined IS and costs. He after
wards whipped the man for suing him, and
q warrant was again issued. This time
Sheriff Gavitt took the matter in hands, went
over to Kentucky, and arrested the mate
He was taken to Squire Walkers and fined
$40 and costs. He appealed and started of
under charge of that model constable, Krip.
ner, to get security. On the way down he
went in honse to take drink, and left the
constable admireing his big cane on the out
side. The constable afterwhile turned around
to take survey of the river, and was of course
somewhat surprised to see the mate in skifi
making of leisurely towards the Kentucky
shore! Mr.. Kripner returned without his
partner. This is the manner in which busi-
ness is now being done in Evansville. Il
this man and his fellows don't resign, we
shall advocate the enclosing Of the city by a
board fence TO keep out rascals, taking care
to put the constables on the outside.
