willard Carpenter.

We understand that Willard Carpenter.
Esq. the principal contractor for building
the Evansville, indianapolis and Cleveland
Straight Line Railroad, sailed on Wednesday
from Boston, in the steamer Niagara. for
Europe, to complete his negotiation of bonds
for the purchase Of iron for the road. We
trust that the perseverance of Mr.. Carpenter
may be crowned with success, and especially
rs he has not only to contend against the
pressure of the times abroad, but also with
constant assaults ut home. The road in
question is of great importance TO the cities
of Evansville and indianapolis, and we hope
to see it built ut an early day.
indianapolis Journal.
Mr.. Carpenter goes to England with let
tiers from many of the most prominent states
men and fnanciers in the country, containing
testimonials of his responsibility, integrity,
and his eminent fitness for accomplishing the
great enterprise in which he is engaged. All
speak of the road as an important link in
our Northern and Southern communications.
With these credentials and his own indomit-
able energy and tact, if success be possible
lie will achieve it. The ardent good wishes
Of all the friends of improvement in South
ern Indiana, 90 with him, and will anxiously
wait his return.
lie may not have triumphed in argument
and disputation over his ASSISTANTS, but we
hope he will eonfound them by the success of
his labors. 1t is not to be disguised that he
goes to England at a most unpropitious sea-
son-at time of depression and almost pan
ic in railroad securities at home, and ut a
period of unexampled pecuniary pressure and
doubt in England. If he should succeed
under such circumstances, it will be by the
devotion of those energies for which he is SC
remarkable. After his departure from home
and without any personal solicitation on his
part, letters were sent TO meet him in Eng
land from Governor Powell, Senator Dixon
Messrs. Barrett, Burbank and other well
known citizens and shippers at Henderson
commencing him and his road, in cordial
terms to their friends and correspondents in
England. For this act of generous interest
in our success, they will be remembered by
all the friends of the enterprise. From thi.
city nothing went with him or has followed
but the fruitless good wishes of the advo-
Gates of the road, and the resolves of oul

- Last week young lady of Catholic
descent, in Philadelphia, joined Baptist
Church, and as she was about to be baptized
her two brothers interfered to prevent it; but
they were foiled. A few days afterwards,
they in company with three others siezed her
while walking in the street, and attempted
TO force her way. They were prevented by o
crowd, that assembled, and ARRESTED her as
sailants; were committed on a charge of
abduction. 1t appcars that tie brothers who
were so anxious for the religious welfare of
young sister had entirely abandoned her
for years, to her own exertions to make a
living.

In Rome Cardinal receives $4,000. In En-
gland some of the Bishops revenues are near
$500, 900; none of them less than $4,000.
1t is said that the Church of England alone
has ut this moment, u larger revenue than
suffices to support the whole of Potestantism
in the rest of the world, and some have made
it out very nearly as much as is paid for the
worship Of all Christendom. Yet this does
not at all supply England with the Gospel,
and but for the labors of the Dis 'enters. half
