IlIsToRIcn.-We are very much gratifed
to learn that Judge Law intends to publish
his address before the Historical Society of
Vincennes, with a copiols appendix embrace
ing the early History of the Old Post, and
its dependencies, with which is connected
some of the most curiou5 and deeply inter
esting passages of American Colonial Histo-
~, and which have been very little explored.
Judge Laws professional and official duties
have led him to the critical examination OF
the early records of the settlement, and
made him familiar with many curious docu-
ments, the treasures of which he has gather
ed in the ''con omore" spirit of an antigua
rian, and which no one can relate in more
graphic and attractive style, than the Judge.
1t will form volume of $50 or 200 pages
AS an illustration of the strange neglect OF
the important events that transpircd in this,
then remote outpost, the Judge has discover
ed, that after the capture of Vincennes by
Gen. Clark, an expedition was raised by
Beaume, who enlisted a force at Kaskaskia
and Vinccnncs for the capture of Detroit
This expedition was encountered by the En-
glish forces near Detroit and nearly every
man in it perished in the conflict that en-
sued, or died from exposure afterwards. -

gained only by the incidental testimony pre-
sented by the heirs Of those who lost thei
lives in it, to establish titles to lands ant
property that has descended from them.-
The government records show no knowlcdg
of it, and even the venerable Secretary o
State, who has Been so long an active partic
ipant in all the historical events Of tn
Northwest, and especially CT all that pcr

A Preacher Convicted.

A preacher named Finkly, living near Oh
ney in Illinois, was last week convicted before
the United States District Court for Illinois,
of the crime of removing a rail from the o
81 NJ. Railroad with the intention of throw
ing the train off the track. The removal was
discovered in season to save the train, and
only caused several hours delay; and the suit
tried was merely for obstructing the U. S.
Mail, and the court could only affix the high
est penalty attached to such an offence, which
is one thousand dollars FIRE. The charge
was fully proven, and the only motive for the
diabolical act, seems to have been revenge
against the railroad Company, for not
promptly complying with his demand for
payment for COW killed by one of their
trains. Another suit will DC brought against
him in the State Courts, where he will be
more severely punished. The Supreme Court
of Illinois have decided that owners Of cattle
are bound to keep them off the railroad
and the Company are not liable for the kill
ing Of them, except in cases Of wanton and
gross carelessness

chiefly from the result of the severe blow oe
September last. The crop of the present year
is promising The Louisiana Crop, by last
accounts from New Orleans, looks exceeding
ly well, and the product this year in the state
il is estimated, will be four times that OF last
year. The present prospects Of the sugar
cane has created an unusual demand for
hoop poles; an article chiefly supplied by
HOLSTERS. The disastrous results of the
shipments of this article in the last two years,
discouraged our citizens from cutting during
last winter, and poles arr now exceedingly
scarce in the market. Good hogshead poles
are worth 800 to $3.50 per thousand. They
pay well in ordinary years, at 25 to $50
Some persons, have lost chances for large pro-
fits, by the want OF little faith and enter
prise.

The MILITARY ACADEMY AT WEST Poryr.
The New York papers are filed with accounts
of the annual Exhibition at West Point, On
Wednesday, the chaplain delivered the an
nual address to the graduating class, in the
presence Of large crowd ofstrangers among
whom was Gen. Scott. The drill and rid
ing exercises are spoken of in the highest
terms. Nearly one hundred cadets entered
the class that has just graduated, but scarce
ly forty Of them graduated. About two
thirds OF the original number have been,
since they entered, dismissed for deficiency
of scholarship, lack of physical and mental
stamina to support the discipline of the Aca-
denny or for Irregular moral condrct. The
acquisitions of the Institution are SO severe,
both upon the mental and physical strength
of the lads, that only one-third of those who
by favor &c. into the institutions are able to
graduate. 1t is time the mode of selecting
the cadets for the bounty of the Government
should be changed. Instead ofbeng admit
ted upon the recommendation of q member
of Congress, or a conspicuous politician, they
should be taken from the youths Of the coun-
try who have given evidence Of the mental
and physical ability, which the Institution

MORNING AND EVENING TRAIN.-Our citi-
zens will be gratifed to learn that the Direc-
tors of the Evansville and Charlottesville
Railroad have determined to ruin a train in
the morning into the city. from Vincennes,
and an evening up train to the SAME yoint.
This will be a great accommodation to the
people along the line, enabling them to visit
the city. transact their business, and return
the same day. 1t is measure that will con-
tribute Largely to the intercourse bctween the
town and country, and will especially bene-
fit the retail trade of the city. All ought
heartily unite in support of e line, and ev
cry citizen ought to contribute all in his
power to keep it up. The next step should be
to get the line Of packets between here and
Paducah Under way. 1t needs but the ac-
tive exertion of a few public spirited citizens
to establish the line. After the first three
months, the line will take care of itself.
