Thankful for Small Favocs.

The editor of the Enquirer gives an extract
from a letter from our worthy Representative
in Congress, stating that he, with Mr.. Burnet,
Representative from Lynn Boyd's District, had
succeeded in getting a tri-weekly river mail
from Evansville to Cairo, to go into operation
as soon as the contractor can complete his ar
engagements. The editor congratulates the
business men Of this city, on getting a regular
tri weekly Southern mail-an idea in good
keeping with the transportation of the great
Eastern mail through Indiana by wagons along
side Of Railroad.
So far as Southern mail is concerned it
can be of no advantage to this city, for if the
Post Office arrangements were right, I'VE should
get our Southern mail by Railroad in half the
time it usually takes boat, especially in this
low water AS local mail it may be of some
advantage, but Mr.. Miller seems to forget he
has constituents above as well as below Ev-
ansville, nearly destitute of mail faclities.-
Why did he not add tri-weekly mail from
Louisville, for it could have gone into opera
ton at once, as we have packet line now in
operation, Cor have when the river is in an Or
binary stage,) and have had for sometime, and
it carries much mail matter from this to
Louisville and East without compensation
MIR. Miller ought to have all the credit for
every good thing he does for the people, as
it is not much he has done, but as it is. Mr..
Burnet is likely to get the credit of this as it
extends all along the line Of his district, and
only extends short distance on Mr.. Millers.
But the most probable version is. that some
body had to have political pay and good con
tract was needed. But let us be thankful for
small faYors

A.Card.

Enquirer:
A.Card
shall reply to the editorial in Saturdays
Journal tomorrow, my answer having been
crowded out to-day. l ask the public to wait
before they form an opinion.
JAMES R. EVANS.
The public formed its opinion as to Mr..
Evans conduct in the affair resulting in the
stabbing of Stinson. without waiting for or in
any manner being influenced by "the editorial
in Saturdays Journal" That opinion places
him in the attitude of criminal He will
therefore please bear in mind, that any state
ment he may make in his card, merely his
own, unsupported by reliable evidence, will be
taken as that of criminal or accused party,
and must therefore be of but little effect His
defence will more than likely have to be made
before court of justice. We have confined
our remarks to statement of facts, which will
at the proper time be legally substantiated.
Since the above was placed in type, Mr..
Evans has handed us the card we publish to-
day over his name. His remarks as to the
character or course of the editor of this pa
per are entirely gratuitous, and neither cred
liable to himself nor injurious to us-much
less as a preface to his after statements, are
they calculated to recommend these state
ments to the confidence of his readers. We
have given place to no false rumors, nor have
we INDUCED in inuendoes or insinuations not
dirtctly deducable from the facts we have pub
lished 1t if it is base nuendo or insinuation
to say, that the facts seem to declare that Mr..
Stinson is the victim of conspiracy against his
life-there are those whom the cap fits, and
let them and them only wear it. If it is a
base inuendo or insinuation to say that the
man who struck the blow, under which the
poor victim is now lingering at the point of
death was assisted to escape from justice by
two sworn officeas Of the law--then we say it
| is an inuendo or insinuation which these Off
GERS had better hasten to cast from them-as
from being mere base inuendo it is becoming
fastened upon them as base fact. Mr. Ev
ans should have alluded to this charge, and
denied it if not true. But, when he blames
us for publishing what we have done, let him
recollect our newspaper 'inuendoes and insinu-
atoms" are plain and emphatic charges in the
mouths of citizens. We are only bent on
telling the truth, and neither fear nor favor
shall prevent us doing this.

A Letter from Toombs.

WASHINGTON, D. G. July 8, 1856.
DEAR SIR received your letter OF the lst
inst, together with its enclosures. Your let
ter to the London Times has become unneces-
sary, as you will perceive from the present
state of the questions discussed, and, besides,
it is altogether too complimentary to Inc, for
me to have any agency in sending it. As |
supposed, when l wrote you, public opinion in
England is right in regard to our difficulties,
and has made itselffelt in Parliament, and even
the great Thunderer (the Times feels and
bows to it. Our danger is not from abroad, it
is at home. The election Of Fremont would
be the end of the Union and ought to be. The
objects of Fremont's friends is the conquest OF
the South. I am content that they shall own
us when they conquer US, but not before.
Respectfully yours, R. TOOMBS.
We are sorry that the Republicans are 60
ing to try to capture the South. This is a
new and startling feature in their creed. But
if it be fact, we trust the South will take the
best and only plan to save themselves-that is
by voting for Fillmore and placing him in the
Presidential chair In this case we promise
them the South will not be captured, and that
Mr.. Toombs may sleep sonndly of nights
without his arms by his side in fear of mid
night attack from Northern men.

" A correspondent of the Memphis Ea-
gle. writing from North Alabama, says J.: "The
cause of Fillmore and Donelson is warming
up in this section of the State. The ranks
are swelling by continued accessions. and the
cry is still they come Never was nomi-
nation more enthusiastically received-never
a prospect more brilliant. Under the magical
eloquence of Senator Clemens-the proud de-
fender of American principles, and the terror
of the Demoeracy-you may count upon the
redemption of our patriotic State from the
whitening blight of foreign anti-Amercan-
ism"

The Stabbing Affair.

The detailed account which we published
last Saturday of the stabbing Of Mr.. Stinson'
was read by him, and pronounced correct in
every particular, with the exception Of one
statement, that ne was held by Evans when
stabbed. He says, as we learn, thatAEvans
was not holding him at this time, but held
him before, when Ross struck him in the face
then, evidently thinking him stunned enough
by this blow to be easily whipped by Ross, let
him go, and drawing pistol, threatened to
shoot any one who interfered We wish to
state nothing but facts in this unfortunate af-
fair, and with the correction we have made.
submit our account to the public as statement
which we are assured can be abundantly es-
tabished by witnesses. We have no desire,
nor have we had any disposition, to create a
prejudice against the officers of the law impli
Gated further than q true statement of the
whole facts might work to their injury
and these are bad enough. There are circurrl-
stances connected with this affair get to be re-
vealed.
loss is still at Carmi. The Sheriff of Posey
county, accompanied by Mr.. Mosley, of this
city, and we believe two witnesses, went to
Carmi, ILL.,, after Ross. We understand the
citizens of that place refused to give him up.
We shall await the result Of other action on
the subject, before speaking further on this
conduct of the citizens of Carmi. They certain
ly will not refuse to deliver up to the law man
accused of the offence charged upon Ross, If the
demand be made in an indisputably legal man
mer. He will have fair trial. and there is no
danger whatsoever of interference on the part
ofcitzens. There is comparatively little feel
ing against Ross, the indignation of Mr. Stin-
sons friends being more directed towards those
who it is believed, instigated him to his course
of conduct. Let the citizens of Carmi prove
themselves law abiding people, by promptly
placing Ross in the hands of those armed with
the legal authority to arrest him. We have
spoken Of this unfortunate affair without fear
or favor, and have not dealt in mere idle ru-
mors.

A Card to the PUBLIC.

EVANSVILLE, August 2, 1856.
1t has pleased the editor Of the Evansville
Journal, for the purpose, presume, of making
political capital, to publish in his paper ofthis
morning tissue of false rumors and nsinua-
tons concerning me. I ask candid public to
hear my statement before they believe that of
a partisan editor, whose daily avocatien it is to
blast the private characters of his opponents.
| submit to the public the following statement
of facts, for whose exactness | hold myself &C
countable to public opinion and to the courts
of law.
had been in the ball room until between
ten and eleven o'clock, and feeling heated, l
left and walked to the tavern. When reach
ed the tavern door saw Ross standing before
Stnson, who was sitting down. They were
apparently quarreling heard Ross say first,
don't want you to talk to me. Stinson re-
piled, Stranger sit down here and let me talk
to you. Ross then said, don't want to hit a
man sitting down as Brooks did Sumner; if
you'll get up l will hit you. Stinson said,
don't want to fight you; l have lady in
charge, but if you'll come to Evansville I'll see
you. Ross then struck Stinson either with
the palm or back of the hand. Stinson then
raised to his feet and they clinched. The two
scuffled off the pavement down between the
store and the hotel. Stinson got Ross down.
Ross then halooed that he had "foul holds;;"
to pull him off. After he had said this three
times Ipulled him off. After they were sep
arated, they went out in the street, and COM
menced again. BY that time some twenty
persons had gathered; aided in parting them
a second time, catching hold Of Stinson for
that purpose; the parties came together the
third time. As sooon as they were released
by US they fought few rounds, and Stinson
cried out 81 am stabbed" l do not know
who stabbed Mr. Stinson, or with what in
strument | had done all could to part the
combatants and prevent difficulty, and think
it very hard that on account of my exertions
to that effect should be implicated in the ca
tastrophe.
The Journal editor says Ross struck Stinson
while held him. If Ross struck Stinson
while we were separating them | do not know
it. Ross certainly did not strike Stinson
while held him. 1t is utterly false that
pulled out pistol and threatened any body.
1t is utterly false that Ross stabbed Stinson
while held him; | was not within ten feet of
Stinson when he cried l am stabbed. | had
no unfriendly feelings against Mr.. Stnson; if
there was GOODNESS between us it was on his
side. here protest against the editor of pa
per stabbng the reputation of persons in his
columns. If l am implicated in this unfortu-
nate affair, let the Courts take cognizance oft.
1t is dishonorable and uncalled for, to attempt
to PREJUDICE the pablo mind in advance.
