A WHISKY MOB!
The salem "True Flag" Office Destroyed.

We learn by gentleman from Salem, and
also from correspondent that the Office of
the ''True Flag, - at Salem, was destroyed by
drunken mob on Friday night last. 1t seems
flat the ladies of that place have been for
some time contemplating descent upon tho
rum holes that curse the town. In his paper
Of Wednesday last the editor mentioned the
fact, and stated further that they would be
sustai ned by the citizens. On Friday, the la
dies, numbering sone fifty, made their demon
stration, and the same night, shortly after
midnight, the rummies and their friends made
the onslaught upon the Flag office.
- - SALEM, April IS, 1856.
NJ GREGG & SoNs-Gentlemen The office
of the American True Flag, of which paper
Howard Coe was editor aud proprietor, was
broken into and demolished by drunken, in
furiated mob on the night of the 25th inst.
+ All the type in the office, with the excep-
ton of some jobt type, was thrown on the floor,
in heterogeneous mass of pt. The stands and
cases were nearly all smashed to pieces. Some
Of the type were scattered all over the yard OF
the Office, and in the street. 4.
| 1t all originated from the fact that the Ia
dies of our place turned out and called on the
retailers of liquor and requested them to de-
sist, which some of them promised to do; but
one foreigner by the name-ot Warner, refused
to do so, when the ladies'" pitched in - and de-
molished five or six barrels of liquors, BOTTLES,
&c. This so enraged some of the lovers Of
free whisky that they dispatched messen-
ger, post-haste, into notorious neighborhood
Of drunkards for assistance.
At the dead hour of night, when all were
in their beds, the mob proceeded to the " True
Flag +" Office, stove in the doors and windows
with stones, and then went in and commenced
the work of destruction. The press was not
harmed nor the books destroyed. After doing
all this, they proceeded to the house in which
Mr.. Coe lives, and stove in the windows by
finging stones One of the stones came with
in few inches of falling upon child of Mr.
Goes, that was styling few feet from the win
dow in trundle bed. The mob also went to
the dwellings of some of the ladies who were
in the procession, and demolished their win
dows in the same manner. akA

change the sunshine for rain. The forest trees

OF the tree tops, wild flowers are lifting their

Meeting this Evening Marine Railway.


In to-day's paper call will be found for a
meeting of those Interested in the construction
Of Marine Railway at this city. The meet
ing will be held this evening at Crescent Hall
We have talked to our readers at different
times for years past, on the Importance of hav-
ing ship-yard at Evansville, and have zeal
ously endeavored to enlist the feelings of our
citizens in the subject to that degree necessary
for some practical result. Having thus SO long
personally or editorially interested ourselves
in the establishment of ship-yard and Marine
Railway at Evansville, we need not say we
are pleased to notice that at last disposition
for strong action on the subject is being mani
tested by our citizens We trust this good
disposition will exhibit itself in good works.
It is unnecessary to repeat our old facts and
arguments at this time on the Importance of a
chip yard to Evansville. Every citizen who
has not thought for himself on the subject, has
repeatedly had an opportunity of considering
the reflections of others in the columns of this
paper. Those who have considered the sub
ject in all its bearings, know that no ore
bonss enterprise ever projected or talked of in
our midst. was calculated to be SO beneficial
in its results to city and people as is this. We
hope then there will be a large meeting this
evening, and the stock at once subscribed fol
q Marine Railway. There is no doubt but
that such stock will prove good investment
We venture the prediction, that in year after
the building of the Railway, the stock viii
command high premium. 20

New Gas Burner.

Mr.. VIM. H. Stiner is now in our city with
a new gas burner, which we think will recon-
mend itself to every one who gives it a trial,
as very superior to the old burners in giving
a better light and in saving gas. He claims
that it saves about SO per cent of gas, which
is a matter of considerable importance. We
have had no opportunity of testing the saving,
but have had it very clearly demonstrated to
us that it must secure economy in the con-
sumption of gas, while atsthe same time it is a
decided improvement over the old burners in
other respects. Mr. s. is stopping at the
Washington House where those wishing to
examine this new burner, which is sold cheap
can find him. We clip the following from thu
n. A. Tribune:
"The light emitted is clear, thin, beautiful
and brilliant, whilst we are assured that they
do not consume as much gas as the old burner
| OF this, however, we cannot speak knowingly
as we have not given them sufficient test
The proprietors have put up large number o.
their burners in st. Louis, Chicago, Detroit
and indianapolis. Their single burners have
a very small orifce, which they call the Scotch
nipple 1t is made of steel, and becoming
heated to great intensity, consumes the car
bon of the gas, and gives white, thin light
They estimate saving of 80 per cent of gas
by their burners, with better light than il
afforded by any other burner now before the

No man who, as politician, or as patriotic
citizen, is in good repute and standing among
his neighbors, should desire to be classed as an
Abolitionst.- State Sentinel. "a '-
We do not think it makes particle of diff
ference to any respectable man whether or not
Old Line papers class him as an Abolitionist.
1t is no sign in the world that he is an Adolf
zionist because he is so classified by that Press.
Every man who is not q pro-slavery mau or a
slavery extensionist is classified by that press
with Abolitionists, although he may despise
Abolitionists from the bottom of his heart.
The word Abolitionist has been used so ndis-
criminately and so wrongfully and with such
vile motives, by Old Line editors, that it has
lost its power to injure. If those are Adolf
tionists whom the State Sentinel has been in
the habit of thus classifying, than the great
majority of the people ofIndiana are Ablition-
ists-whereas we doubt whether there are five
hundred Abolitionists in the State. =. i5ss

| SECTION /. Be it enacted 6y the Gener-
al assembly of the Slate of Ohio, That
sec. two of the above recited act, be amen
ded so as to read as follows: That the
trustees of each township within this State,
shall afford relief or support to any person
or persons within their township and not
having legal settlement within the same,
when such relief or support is needed: Pro
vided, That whenever the trustees of any
township shall be called upon to afford relief
from the township treasury in any county
having county infrmary, to any person or
persons who have no legal settlement in
this State, or whose place of residence is
unknown, it shall be the duty of the trus-
tees to make out an order to the directors
of such county infnnary, to receive and
provide for such persons, so long as said
trustees may direct: Provided, That if in
any such case it should be found inexpedi-
ent or ilnpracticable for said trustees to re-
move any such person or persons to said
county infirmary, or if there be no county
infrmary in the county in which said town
ship is situated, then and in either case
said trustees shall keep an accurate account
of all monies so expended, and certify
such account with the vouchers for the same
to the county commissioners of the county,
who shall cause the amount so paid to be
paid to the township out of the county
treasurery: and shall not be required to
remove such person or persons to any coun-
ty infmary: Provided further, That such
trustees may remove any person or persons
becoming charge upon any such township,
and who have no legal settlement in this
State, to the State where such person or
persons have a legal settlement; unless such
person or persons shall give sufficient secu-
rity to indemnify such township.

Cisferns.

Every barn should have cistern for the
use of cattle in winter. A cistern is gener-
ally cheaper and better than well, an as
the distance to raise the water is so much
less than from well, vast amount of la
Dor is thus saved in pumping up the water.
A cistern 10 feet in diameter and o feet
deep, viii hold I6S barrels. That is avery
good size to make barn cisterns. IF you
want more capacity, make two. A cistern

each foot in depth; Z diameter, 81 barrels
per foot; feet, nearly II barrels; feet,
l45 barrels; 10 feet, 158 barrels per foot.
