JUDGE Fowler, Of Smithland, ID now on
visit to our city for the purpose Of devising
some measures with our citizens for . more
nitrate commercial intercourse between
Evansville and the cities Of Smithland and
Paducah, first by the establishment Of q pack
ct line. and ultimately. BY railroad through
Henderson and Smithland to Paducah. We
are informed that the merchants of Paducah
will contribute literally to the establishment
oil a line Of packets, and will exert themselves
to secure for it aliberal support from their end
Of the route. Many of the leading business
men, both at Smithland and Paducah, have
been largely interested in steamboats,, and are
good steamboat managers, and the benefits Of
their experience and knowledge Of the bust
ness will make them valuable associates in the
enterprise. Some Of tho leading business
men from Psducah, are expected here the
present week. There is nothing needed to
put the line in operation, but the formation oil
. company here with capital of $4,000 or
$4,000.
Judge Fowler, is enlisted in the proposed
railroad project from Henderson to Paducah
"for the war;" till it shall be accomplished
and the numbering trains shall wake the forest

ton counties, or the scheme be laid aside 70,
the present generation. At present tho pros
poets Of the road arc very fattering. The
future of both Smithland and Paducah de-
pend upon the promotion Of their manufactu
ring industry. To support this, they mus
have access to an abundant and constant sup
ply Of coal, which the projected road alon,
can give them. These towns will therefore
do all in their power to build the road. The
proprietors of tho valuable coal and minsra
lands through which the road will pass, car
only make those lands of value by assisting
to build the road. Active measures are nov
being taken along the line to procure loca
subscription, and as far IS the canvassers
have been heart from tho prospects are YER,
encouraging. Judge Fowlsr's high position
in his own State, and his own personal wortl
will commend him to the attentions and hos
FATALITIES Of our citizens, and give weight Il
his representation and arguments.

OwESsvrrLE AND GRAYvlLLE-Ths spirited

OwENsvItLE AND GRAYvlLLE.-Ths spirited
and energetic citizens Of Owensville are deter
mined to have railroad connection with the
world, whether they receive any assistance
from the city or not. Last week they sent
notice to the citizens Of Grayville, thata dele.
CATION from Owensville would visit them, to
confer upon the subject Of extending the road
that is to be built from the Z. & C. Road to
Owensville, on to GRANVILLE. And on Mon
day evening last, . public meeting was called
at GRANVILLE to receive the delegation from
Owensville. What measures were taken at
the meeting, We have not yet learned. The
prosposition was apparently highly approved
by the citizens Of GRANVILLE, and if they have
as much earnsstness, enterprise and resolu-
ton as the Owenvillians, the thing will be
accomplished; and our people may perhaps
wake up some months hence and find the
work done without their aid. The GRANVILLE
Herald says:
The contemplated road commences six
miles East Of Owensville, at or near McIntire's
station on the Evansville and Charlottesville
R. R., and will run nearly due West to Gray
Vile, the entire distance of which IS only
twenty. three miles. running through . fertile,
wealthy and beautiful section Of country. A
company is organized and are obtaining sub
scriprions for' building the road from McIn.
tire station to Owensvlle, and if they meet
with the cooperation of GRANVILLE and sur.
rounding country, and extend the road to this
place, it will also elicit the aid Of Evansville
and then success must and will attend the
completion of the enterprise to this place.
We have good reasons to believe from 70
liable information, that the projected Southern
Illinois Road will never go above GRANVILLE OF
the West side of the Wabash. 1t will eros
the river at or below GRANVILLE. and pass oil
through Owensville, or near there, and connec
With the E. & c. Road not far from McIntire'
station. If the people Of Owensvile can sc
cure their branch, they will draw the South
ern Illinois Road to them. Or, if the peopl
of GRANVILLE will help build the branch frou
their town to Owensvlle, they will secure tn
ferry of the Southern Illinois Road at thei
town and prevent its taking lower rout
. across the river. This will make the link be
tween GRANVILLE and Owensville an importan
matter to both places.

The subject OF the re-charter of the Bank
Of England, is now before Special Committee
Of Parliament; and the question to be deter
mined is whether the restrictions Of the
present charter shall be repeated in the new,
or the bank be allowed a wider latitude for
using her credit and circulation. By the
terms Of the present charter, the bank is al
lowed to issue 1900. 900, or about $7OOOO.-
600. on her loan to the government Of about
fl1.OOO.OOO or $55.OO0OOO. For all her
notes beyond this amount which are put in
circulation, she must have an equivalent in
specie in her vaults. The ordinary range Of
her circulation is from 100000 to f22,-
oO0OOo-or from $95, 900 900 to $1l0.OOO.-
600. When the circulation is up to f22, OOO,
600, the bank must have at least f8,OOO,OOO
in specie in the Golfers of her Issue Depart
ment; and her circulation must fluctuate
with the changes Of specie in hst vaults
This arbitrary rule is found exceedingly in
convenient in times Of pressure and panic; a.
it takes from the banks all power to grant re-
lief by temporarily extending her issues and
thus meeting the demand for money. and
thereby preventing a casual pressure growing
into . panic. By the present rule, when
svera 1000 in specie is drawn tom her
vaults, she must force back from circulation
an equal amount Of her notes, however much
the public may need, or be disposed to retain
them in use.
The rule destroys one Of the excsllencies o.
spapsr currency, which is its power Of ex.
FEASIBILITY and fexibility. that enables it t.
accommodate itself to the wants of the public
The committee to whom the subject has beer
referred is composed Of some Of the ables
fnanciers Of the kingdom, and . very s6l'
and elaborate report is expected from then
in which the whole theory and experience il
the use Of paper currency will be ably dis
cussed.

a case Of suicide, by young man belonging to
q highly respectable family in Charlottesville,
in this State, by the name Of Ginger, who
had been afianced to young lady in Craw-

In The Cincinnati Gazette says the business OF the
pos, Office is decreasing SD much in consequence OF the
rrsguIart OF the mails and the general bad manage
ent that the department is putting Up booths In The
Cincinnati once to rent.
Mail transportations in every direction are
becoming so entirely unreliable that where
certainty and dispatch are important, business
men are forced to seek other means Of trans
hitting their correspondence. The Express
Companies are rapidly supersceding the mail
on ell routes where the former are established.
II it were not that the people were obliged to
use the post Office stamps to secure the de-
livery OF their correspondence by Express
Companies, the revenues Of the post Offices
would exhibit q serious decline, resulting
from the diminished business it Performs
There must be a radical reform or the institu-
ton will cease to be Of any important use to
the country. Indianapolis is the principal dis
tributing Office for all mail matter coming
from the East OF the West into the Southern
regions Of this State; and from all we have
observed and heard, it is most wretchedly and
inefficiently managed. There is no certainty
in the transmission OF anything that passes
through it. Our correspondence with Cincin-
natl and Louisville which is distributed at In
dianapolis is from four to fourteen days on
the route, while the Express delivers our let
tcrs and papers in twelve or fourteen hours
from the time they arc deposited in the Office
in Cincinnati. We have notice Of letters
mailed to US in that city eight and ten days
ago, that have not yet reached US. We look
for their arrival sometime next week, If they
have not already been opened, or used for
kindling fires at Indianapolis, which is the
only office where the mail containing them is
opened between here and the point Of mailing
them.

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-There lies in the
depths of every heart, that dream of youth,
and the chastened wish of manhood. which
neither cares nor honors can extinguish the
hope of one day resting from the pursuits
which absorb us; of interposing between our
old age and the tomb, some tranquil interval
of reflection, when with feelings not subdued
but softened, with passion not exhausted but
mellowed, we may look calmly on the past
without regret, and the future without appre-
hension. But in the tumult of the world,
this vision forever, forever recedes as we ap-
proach it, the passions which have agitated
our life, disturb our latest hours; and we 90
down to the tomb like the sun in the ocean,
with no gentle and gradual source which gave
it rise, but sullen in its beamless descent,
with all its fiery glow, long after it has lost
its power and its splendor

A Far West Sanctum.

The Kansas correspondent Of the Richmond
Enquirer, in recent letter to that paper,
thus describes the sanctum of the editor of the
Weekly Herald, printed at Leavenworth city
at the time he made the visit: ll r
at may not be amiss here to give you
sketch Of the Office as presented to the eye
Of the stranger from Louisiana.
A visit to the printing office afforded rich
treat. On entering the first room on the
right hand, three law shingles were on the
door; on one side was rich bed, French
blankets, sheets, table cloths, shirts, cloaks
and rugs, all together; on the wall hung maps,
venison and rich engravings, onions, portraits
and boots; on the floor were side of bacon
carved to the bone, corn and potatoes, sta
tionery and books; on nice dressing case
stood wooden tray half full of dough, while
crockery occupied the professional desk. In
the room on the left-the sanctum-the cook
and editor lived in glorious unity-one per-
son. He was seated on stool, with paper
before him on a piece of plank, writing Wig
orous knock-down to an article in the Kick
apo Pioneer, paper of a rival city. The
cooking stove was at his left, and tin kettles
all around; the corn cake was a-doin', and
instead of scratching his head for an idea, as
editors often do, he turned the cake and went
ahead"

K n cking at tn e Door.
A TRUE STORY.

The glowing sun of midsummer after
noon poured through the curtainless windows
of the village school, and the small, curly
heads dropped like delicate flowers in the
balmy air. Among them all, little Katie's
sunny ringets fell the lowest, and if you had
lifted the golden veil, you would have seen
the weary eyes had forgotten to con the long
line of hard words in the worn spelling book,
and that the silkcn fringes of the dropping lids
were pillowed lovingly upon the sweetest lit
tie checks in the world. Yes, in the heated
air, soothed by the lazy drone of the hungry
flies, and the restless hum of young student
voices, Katie had fallen asleep.
She was dreaming too. She was dreaming
of the little brother, darling Charley, who, in
the bright spring time-whcn the violets
were just opening their sweet blue eyes after
their long sleep-had strayed away from the
earth, and passed through those gates of glory
always open for the entering of little feet
And she dreamed that she clasped him to her
little lonely heart, and begged him never to
leave her again; and amid the greatness of
her joy she sobbed aloud, and started to find
Bella's soft arm around her, and to hear her
whisper:
what is the matter, darlingY
Before Katie could collect her thoughts to
answer, the school was dismissed, and she
heard the teacher exclaim, as he pointed to
the darkening west, Hurry home, children,
or you will be caught in the shower
But Katie could not hurry; and as she went
out of the door, again little Bella's sweet
voice cried:
Poor Katie, are you sick?
Then Katie poured into the sympathising
ear of her little friend, all her troubles, and
finished by saying, Il could not bear to find it
only dream; feel as if must see Charley
once more
where do you think he is asked Bella.
In heaven, | know replied Katie, 'and
mother says he cannot come back again to us,
but we can 90 to him sometime and her sobs
broke out afresh.
why don't you go to him nowp asked
Bella.
81 don't know the way said Katie. Twas
very sick when they took him away in the
little coffin, and don't know where they
went
Are you sure they went to heaveng' said
Bella, eagerly.
90, | know it, said Katie.
'Then,' said the impulsive little Bella,
then can show you the way. saw where
they put your little brother
The glad light in Katie's fearful eyes, was
beautiful to behold.
will you show me, Bella, now, this very
afternoonr
Yes,indeed, cried Bella; and with clasped
hands, unmindful of the gathering gloom,
these little pilgrims set forth on their journey
to heaven. Once on the way, doubt OPP
pressed Bella.
Are you sure, Katie, that you can get in 2
'Ah, said Katie, with sweet assurance,
'how Charley would run to open the door,
