Henderson County Fair.

The Henderson County Fair commenced
yesterday and will last three days. We were
glad to see Henderson county very well repre-
ssnted at our Fair, and trust the compliment
will be reciprocated. Some of our best stock
will be there, and many of our citizens have
already gone down. To-day and tomorrow
will be much more interesting days to visit
the Fair than the first day. Those ofour citi-
Gems and ladies who visit the Henderson Fair
will, we are sure, be well pleased with their
excursion, and be Hospitality treated. To-
morrow there will be tests of the speed of the
fancy stock. Evansville will be fully represent
ed on the occasion. If the weather prove good,
they will have delightful time.

HEAVY BLACK MAIL.-Ex-May Lawrence
of New York, man of note among mer-
chants, and of large wealth, having, as we
suppose, been guilty, in his early life, of some
amorous indiscretions has submitted for near
eighteen years, to the infamous extortions oil
a fellow by the name of Brown, who became
possessed of the secrets, and who has lived
upon the fears of Lawrence during that long
period, till the aggregate of an the sums he
has levied upon his victim is near 100000
Having refused to submit lohger to these ex-
actions, the follies of the old gentleman were
exposed. Brown was prosecuted for perjury,
but it seems Mr. Lawrence had not the cour-
age to pursue the matter. and Brown has been
permitted to go UNPUBLISHED. A crop of wild
oats in the spring of life, leaves a weedy and
briary field in its autumn.

RICHMOND ETIoUETTE.-Our readers will
remember that not long since, Mr.. Bolts the
son Of j. NJ. Bolts, the Fillmore elector OF Viz
GINA, challenged Mr.. Pryor, of the Richmond
Enquirer. Through the vigilance OF the police
melting was prevented, and now Mr.. Pryor,
deprived of the pleasure of killing the son,
seeks to kill the Father. most insulting
challenge has been sent Mr.. Bolts which is
rejected in letter worthy of the man. The
man who challenges known combatant, may
be excuse for wishing to throw away his life
valuable only to himself, but when the chal-
lenged party is an old man, a non combatant
and one whom the challenger knows cannot
accept, then the man who would take advan-
tage of it to brand the challenged party as a
coward, sinks beneath the notice Of all honora-
BILE men. The history of the attack upon
Mr.. Bolts is unprecedented. Branded as
d traitor and an incendiary, villifed and
threatened by the organ of the Democratic
party, and by the Governor himself he is now
heralded to the world as a coward, because he
refuses to allow them the opportunity of per-
fecting their villanry by taking his life. Mr..
Bolts refusal to meet Pryor will raise him in
the estimation of all honorable men.

Ohio and Mobile Railroad.


This Road which has been managed and
pushed ahead with more energy and shrewd-
ness than any other Southern enterprise, is
rapidly extending itself Northward, and ap.
preaching its completion. The cars are now
running to Macon, Miss. more than 200 miles
from Mobile, and the effects Of opening this
new avenue of trade thus far has been-al-
though the country through which it passes
was a wilderness three years ago-to visibly
increase the trade of the city in every branch,
and to enhance the value of real estate in the
city more than so per cent; and 1t is said the
road will return to the city in the advanced
value of its property, more than the whole
cost of the road.
By January next, the cars will run up to
within 40 miles of the Tennessee Line. The
Company have just received from the State,
Tennessee Bonds for $4,000 and have pur-
chased 100000 worth of iron for the line in
Tennessee, and they are now at liberty, hav-
ing completed the earth work, to draw the
State bonds to the amount of $4,000 per
mile for the whole length OF the road in Ten
nessee. The Company have also made a loan
Tor million dollars and contracted foe the iron
for the Kentucky and Tennessee sections
which is to be shipped to Columbus, and the
laying OF the rails on the Northern end will
be commenced at once, as cargo OF rails have
already arrived at Columbus, Ky. The dis
lance lrCm Columbus to the Northern line Of
Mississippi is 1873 miles, on which nearly the
whole grading is done, and can be entirely I'm
ished faster than the track-layers can progress
with their work. About four miles of rail can
be laid down per week and by the first oi
June next, the citizens of Columbus say, cars
will be running from that point to Mobile,
placing them in connexion with jackson, Ten
nessee, Memphis, Holly Springs Canton, Jack
son, Miss. and New Orleans by railroad. We
know of no enterprise that illustrates so forcl-
bly, how much may be accomplished by the
united energy and enterprise of small COM
munIty as the successful completion of this
road. Mobile, a city scarcely as large as Ev-
ansville, almost unaided, undertook alone to
unbroken wilderness. Her citizens have tax
ed themselves to an extent to brighten all old
iogies by their imprudence yet they have
moved steadily ahead, without dissenting
voice-neyer taltering-never admitting the
possibility of failure, till now the great design
is nearly accomplished, and they have doubled
the value of their property, and have road
that is to bring them new millions of wealth
All this has been done by Mobile, while the
great city of New Orleans, has been hobbling
along, crippled by acknowledgement and op-
pressed with doubts and discordant councils
has not been able to complete line of l50
miles of road by which she designs to tap the
Mobile road, and rob her neighbors Of a part
of the fruits of great enterprise which they
had not courage to undertake themselves.

LAUNDRY.-In all the larger cities they now
have mammoth washing establishments at
which all the Laundry of Hotels, Boarding
Houses, and small families is done with great
er economy, despatch, and far less injury to
clothing them by the ordinary domestic pro-
cess. The laboris nearly all done by machin-
cry. In an hour, gentleman, can have his
defiled linen taken and returned to him done
up in style that produces a smile upon the
face Of the greatest Exquisite" They have
one in New Orleans that has two large els
terms that hold $4,000 gallons of water each,
and the circular tubs in which the cloths are
placed for washing and renching make 1900
circumvoluton in minute 1t is said one OF
! these establishments can do the washing for
10000 persons, at a third of the cost, for which
! it is done in the Household. In towns in
free States, where there is SO much difficulty
in obtaining and keeping domestic help, and
when washing day is the horror of the House
hold, We should think the establishment Of
these labor saving concerns would be a bless
ing; contributing to domestic peace and reliev-
ing housekeeping Of half its disagrseabihties.
