Water Works for the City.

Our fellow-citizen, Mr.. KERsTEMAN, who
by his geological explorations, has done so
much to develope our mineral resources, has
an idea, we'll founded upon geological facts
and reasoning, that there is below our coal
strata, current of pure water, which may be
reached by the augur and brought, by its own
force, to the surface in a volume sufficient to
supply the whole city with abundant streams
of the purest and the softest water. By in
vestigations made by him, he is persuaded it
will have head sufficient to carry it into the
upper stories of the largest buildings. He
has invited a meeting of the citizens at
which he will explain his views, and will
make some important overtures for the for
nation of company, and the propositions he
will make, will involve no risks to any one
but himself and if the project succeeds, it
will be of almost incalculable benefits to the
city. Beside the benefits of ar unfailing
supply Of pure water for domestic uses, there
are many important branches of manufac
lures, that cannot be carried to perfection in
but few sections of the West, in consequence
of the limestone impregnations of the water
from all sources fed by our rivers and su-
perficial springs. Paper of the finest quail
ties cannot be made West Of the Mountains
in consequence of this defect. Bleaching so
important in the manufacture of fine cottons,
cannot be done at the West, for the same rea>
sons. Our ales are defective from the same
difficulty, and other processes we could name,
are prohibited at the West by our limestone
water. Mr.. X. proposes te go below all the
limestone formations, and tap q current OF
the purest element, below any ever penetra-
ted in this region. The undertaking will
involve but slight cost comparatively, and
Mr.. K. is so certain of success, he proposes to
take nearly the whole risk on his own
shoulders, and only asks for suitable remu-
ncration for the risks and labor in case of sue
cess. Certainly, the citizens of our town will
not allow this advantageous proposition to
pass unheeded. If success should attend the
enterprise, Mr. KERsTEMAN will have confer
red benefit upon Evansville, second only to
his coal mine. He will secure an advantage that
may make the city famous for it's paper-its
bleecheries, and its ale may be better known
than Albany or Philadelphia porter.
The Evansville daily journal., 1856-12-17

EMANCIPATION IN New ORLEANs-We un-
derstand that there have been emancipated
within the last twelve months, before one
court alone, between five and six hundred
blacks; and we cannot be wrong in supposing
that before all the courts, there have been
between thousand and fifteen hundred! If
this continues what is to be the result? How
long will it be before the free negroes out
number the whites? In the interior of the
State the evil has been felt to that degree as
to have demanded attention from grand iu-
Tors and judges. In the parish of Point Cou-
pee, where the vote cast at the late election
was between seven and eight hundred, we
are told that the free negroes are only eight
less than the number Of white voters. So
great is the evil felt to be there, that, although
there were twenty five applicants for emanci-
patton at tie last term of the court not one
was successful. In the parish of Rapides the
evil is felt to be quite as great, and Judge
Ogden delivered an able charge to the grand
jury on the subject.
Our entire law on this subject requires re-
vision. 1t. is not for the advantage of the
negro that he be thrown without a protec-
ton upon society. Free negroes are proba-
bly, better off in New Orleans than in any
other of our large cities; but even here they
are being every day more and more driven out
of reputable employment by the competition
of white labor. Formerly they drove our
drays, owned hacks, kept shops, and waited
at our hotels; now they are forced into posi-
tions of inferiority and made to feel that they
are as at the North, outcasts on society, not
associated with by the whites, and without
that provision of home and subsistence eethat
our law secures to every slave. In this con-
necton we again call attention to the propri-
ETY. of our having slave exemption law.
Snch law will certainly pass the Mississip-
the Governor Of South Carolina, and is mpe-
riously required in this State, and especially
in this city, to wed more closely together the
interests of the white man Of small means
and the large planter who has his hundreds
of Slaves.-M o. Delta.

- AREzoNIA-Col. Cook the delegate from
this new proposed territory has made his ap-
pearance at Washington and presented the
petition of his constituents to be formed into
territory and separated from New Mexio o,
from whom they are divided by natural bar
riers that render political connection incor =
venient. The limits of the proposed territory,
embrace the Southern portions of New Mexi-
co-the Messilla valley and the Gadsden pur-
chase, and include an area Of $4,000 square
miles, about one half as large as New York
The land has heretofore been represented as
sterile and almost desert. 1t is now pictur-
ed as fertile and rich in ores, capable Of sns-
tanning dense population. 1t is on the pop
ular route for the Southern Pacific Railroad
now building through Texas, and it is sur
missed that this political movement has con-
necton with the schemes of that road. There
is much doubt what Congress will do in the
matter.

We have full confidence from all sources
now that affairs in the Territory are restored
to order and peace. We have had the pleas

entirely checked by the energy and activity of
Gov. Geary and the returning desire Of order
and justice is manifested by all parties. Per-
sons and property are now as safe there as in
any State in the Union, and the effect upon
the business and prosperity Of the territory is
extraordinary. The lawless adventurers are
leaving. and orderly and substantial citizens
are coming into the country in large numbers.
The value of land is rapidly advancing, and
there are not goods enough to supply the de-
mand, nor means sufficient to do the necessary
business Of the population already there. Our
informant, though from a slave State, is an ad-
