A. H. SANDERS:
Dear Sir:-Itis always with pleasure that
l write you, for it appears to bring me right
home-even into the Journal Office. Twill
forbear the lavishing of compliments, even
though much deserving they may be; but
to my task. left Evansville last Friday
morning for this place, on the steamer Ev'
ansville, ana what was my surprise to find
every state room occupied, and when the
hour approached for the worshippers of Nor
pheus to make their obeisance, to see them
measuring themselves upon the cabin floor
with deep drawn signs and agonizing grunts
How do you suppose Jared! Let me here
return my sincere thanks to the Captain Of
that pleasant little steamer, for the use Of
his state room, which will ever be remem-
bered by me with a grateful heart. How
few indeed would have made so great a sac
rfce.
Nothing worthy Of note transPired
until we arrived at Rumsey, where l
have never failed to have my highest admit
ration called forth, Ito say nothing about
enthusiasm.) The rich scenes that are
spread out here and there, and the delightful
scenery that meets the eyes at every view,
almost enchanted me to the spot. was in
formed that Mr.. Lewis, Il Ed. Lewis)
spent only portion OF his time there.
merely mention this fact in order to correct
any false impressions that might get out
At Calhoun We were joined by Miss l..
alias Mrs. Rose, who would not exchange
for Rose, although the Rose would be as
sweet by any other name. We landed here
on Monday, County Court day at ten o'clock,

Jared sumptuously upon the fans, tans, It'd
viewed for the while the fine stock on ex.
hibition in the streets,( how unlike thought,
to any scenes in our Indiana towns.) The
remainder of the evening was spent within
doors, wondering what kind Of weather we
would have next. { then showing was
forcbly reminded of the old soyng,"In the
midst of Spring we are in winter" for so it
seemed. next repaired to Allen county.
IT borders very closely on thosesmountain
counties of this State, where Ben Hardin
remarked that the people would follow a
Wagon whole day to see the hind Wheel

prise to see people settled in so arid and
barren a region, and wondered how they
lived. They say it is true they can scarce.

scarcely ever dies. No wonder, for it would
be far worse for me to live there than any
place they could 60 to after death. Imag
inc, if you please, a man on a white horse
ascending long rugged hill Of an angle o
45 or so degrees, holding on to the name
with both hands, then down another equal

delightful country. 1t is quite common un
derstand for neighborhoods to meet togeth
er to assist each other in taking their stool
out of sink holes. have seen quite numbe
of trees cut down recently in my travels
mostly Beech and Elm,and was informed tina
it was for the cows to eat the twigs and buds
not having anything else to feed upon.
am pleased however, to inform you that
found one redeemabe trait in the peop,
that. richly atoned for all :he rest, viz: they ar
all in favor Of native born American citizen
ruling America. II is confidently believe,
that Loving will beat Clark for Governo
between 10000 and 10000 majority, and
some are offering to bet on 90 900 majorit,
for Loving. Clark, like Wise of Virginia
has taken the stump and knows nothing blu
unqualified abuse of the Native American
principles or Know Nothingism. Poor de
luded man! See how he is stabbing himsel
to the heart in every speech. He may de
nounce, vilify and abuse the Native America
/ party, and what profiiteth it him! No one re
plies to him, and he expects no one. Blu
thank God. the people think the more.
