IHE JOE ii. CoNN.-This light draught
boat arrived here night before last from Louis
vile full of passengers. The Conn was
aground for day and night at Scuffletown bar
IN company with eleven other steamers The
Conn had fine trip and is the boat to travel
on, either in low or high water. The Captain
VIM. Lamb, j. w. Chambers and Chas. Car
penter, Clerks are all indefatigabIe in their
exertions and amiable deportment to secure
to passengers their largest pleasures and
greatest comforts. The Conn left for st. Louis
yesterday. She reports "a inches water at
Flint Island and 20 at Scuff1etown
PRINCETON CoURIER.-We have received
the Prospectus of new paper the first No
of which is to be issued on the 18th of this
month to be published at Princeton, Gibson
county, by Messrs Linegar & Vinson, lately
of the Rockport Republican. 1t is to be Re-
publican in politics. We wish these gentle
men pecuniary success, and political success so
far as they advocate the State and Congression-
al ticket but regret they are not going to raise
the honest, national, American Fillmore flag.
For SENAToR.-We thought we had MOTTO
ed, until reminded of the deficiency by
friend, the nomination of Mr.. VIM. Stewart,
as candidate for State Senator to represent
the people of the counties of Gibson, Pike and
Dueois, in Legislature. His opponent is Mr..
John Hargrove, Of Gibson. Old Liner. Mr.
Stewart is man of fine abilities, and if elect
ed will make an excellent Senator.

his attempts to prove in public speeches in

Cordrdiy Attempt at Assassinati0n- vio-
lent conspiracy, Nth intent TO murder, al,
dead hour Of midnight,
Last night, between Ii and II O'Clock, Just
after we had quilted our Office, in company
with Mr.. Mendellshon, the candidate for
Mayor, We were met on dark corner BY .Jo-
seph 6. Barnes, the editor of that lying, dir
ty sheet, the Herald, with fifteen bloody
looking ruf6ans in attendance, and holding .
big stick in his hands, about two inches thick,
at the part he held in his hand, and four
inches thick at the other end, being about
four fee. long, upon which he rudely and in
snitngly accosted US with, ssYou scoundrel,
what did you write that piece about me for 2n
We were glad for his own honor, that he did
not strike US in the dark, but spoke FIRST. 1t
was the most manly thing that ever was done
by his little mustard seed soul. But undHun-
ted, we instantly drew forth knife and
pointed it at his breast. when four Of his
cowardiy assassin associates seized us by the
arms, and holding US, told him to strike !;
but he said he did not want to be killed. and
started to run; then We threw OF the four
towards holding our arms, and started in
pursuit, but we're unable to catch him.
Let the public measure him and his friends
as they deserve.

and without foundation in truth. So far
from our attacking him he attacked us with
knife, and all the running we did was for
the purpose Of getting stick to defend our
selves, which We obtained on the next square.
and also there accidentally met some friends.
On returning TO the ground where We were
assaulted, the cowardly assassin had in
continensly fed. Ii was well for him. for We
were too much provoked TO have spared him
had we met him. Let him beware,
