An Evansville Fillibuster.

Among the returned Filibusters who
arrived in New York last week on the
steamship Tennessee, was Capt. VIM. N.
Walker, an Evansvillian by birth. and
twin brother to our City Clerk. He
has been away from home nearly eight
years in California and Nicaragua, and
played an important part in the late bat
ties in Central America. Capt. Walker
left San Francisco on the Goth Of Febru-
airy, with a men, for the purpose of join
ing Gen. Walker. They found him at
Rivas and Immediately united with his
forces. This company known as the
RED Star Guard" did good service in
the battles Of Riyas, and San Jorge, but
on the 9th Of April, alter having been
refused their rations until thew could re-.
main with Gen. Walker no longer, they
left Rivas and went to Punta Arenas,
where they were taken care Of by the
Costa Ricans After suffering privations
and want for several months. the Com
pany secured passage for New York,
where they arrived in a destitute condi
ton. The Times in speaking of Capt
Walker says:
Capt Walker wss originally from Indiana
He bears his siege we'll. looking well and
tough, a. If he had Just come from victory
He is small man. with blue eyes. black hail
and frank and open cOuntenaree. He was
though only II years old, with Col. Fremont
for eight months. in 154S. in the Rocky Noun
and the Colonel separated. He left home in
1850 for California. and was Inspector in the
Custom House. but was removed and out O.
business when he took charge of the fillibus.
tering company which he led to Nicaraguf
from California.
Capt. Walker, in behalf Of the compa
ny, has issued manifest" we'll written
anu setting forth the reasons why Gen
Walker was unsuccessful. He is desert
bed as bloodthirsty, selfish, immoral, with
out the capacity of commanding ar
army, or to insure success in any great
undertaking.
Capt. Walker is expected home thi:
week. His numerous friends will give
him hearty welcome.

'iIhoDOhOh, "ioS.-DN q ACSOus iC-
turn of the assessor, it appears that the
total amount of the taxable property in
that city, is S4,277,21O, exclusive Of the
capital employed by Bankers, who pay
license of S40O each, instead of tax on
the money employed by them. Includ-
ing the Banking capital, the whole
amount Of property is estimated at about
S5,OOOOOO This IN q community of
only 4l2 polls-shows an amount of
property equal to $l2,135 20 each poll,
and proves the city to be community of
as wealthy individuals as can-we
suspect-be found in the country. There
are about 200 adult male slaves, in the
town. and if their places were filled with
whites, and they were counted among
the polls, the proportion Of property to
the polls would he larger than could be
found in any the growing Western
towns. Further, il we deduct the whole
value Of the slaves from the aggregate of
property and add the slaves to the popu-
lation, the average would be about 81 900
to the poll, while in our town it is only
about S2,25O.
We have observed similar statistics
published in other Southern towns,
which disclose facts Of deep interest to
the Economist and Statesman.
Although Vicksburgh is not place
growing rapidly, the increase of wealth
the last year has been over 13 per cent
The slave property however has in
creased less than 31a per cent, and the
real estate less than z per cent; but the
increase in personal and exchangeable
property has been over 20 per cent; with
very slight advance in population
With such statistics before us, it is i'm
possible to contend that the South is no
growing rapidly in wealth, and that too
not in appearance by an inflated rise o
real estate-but in the acquisition o
money and exchangeable values drawn
from abroad. However great may b
the moral and political evils Of slavery, j
is evident that it is profitable to the in
diyiduals in the community and in tina
fact is the strength of its roots. What
ever blight it may entail upon the en-
ergies and growth of the State, it bring
wealth to the slave holder and tn
difficulty in dealing with it, as an eco
nomical subject, is to convince the indi
vidual, that what increases his private
wealth and prosperity is detrimental t.
the public good. In the altered tone Q
the public feeling, the time is coming
when the momentous political and socia
question of slavery, will be discussed
without passion or violence, and the sub
ject will receive a more thorough in
vestigation. The South is not SO actv
as tie North, it does not perform hal
the labor, but it makes larger surplu
on what it does produce, and though tn
State may not gain so great an aggregate
the individual citizens are growing richie
at the South than at the North. Thi
is the reason why all assaults upon tn
institution arouse such bitter feeling:
and why it is upheld with so muc
tenacity. The argument of self interes
is futile against it.

EXTRA SEssIoN.-The State journal
says that Willard, after having hclted
long time between sense Of duty to
the State and some personal or party
schemes, has finally resolved that he will
not call an extra session Of the Legisla-
ture. His Democratic friends feeling the
weight OF the evil the want Of legis-
lation has produced more sensibly than
his Excellency, have been very solicitous
TO have a session called. But their
prayers have no avail at all. So we won
der how the Government Of the State is
to be carried on without tax laws or ap-
preparation bills.

CT Mr.. Ruxton is about to open a
gallery Of Paintings for exhibition in
New York, composed Of over three hun
dred paintings by eminentEnglish artists
They are already on the way from Eng
land, insured, it is said at very high
valuation. They will be an object
of great attraction to visitors to the city.
After being exhibited for time in New
York, the gallery will be removed to
Boston, and then to Philadelphia. And
it might pay. we think, to bring them
to some Western city.

The WHARF.-At a late meeting Of
the City Council, Mr.. Sherwood was re-
quested to state, the reasons why the
wharf is not kept in better condition. 1t
is question often asked by our citizens
and one we should like to hear properly
answered. For several years the wharf
has been disfgured by broken bricks
placed upon it for the purpose Of repair
ing it. Experience has shown that they
DO not answer the purpose. Gravel
should be used and nothing else. We
hope our City Council will insist upon
having the wharf put in good order as
soon as possible.

for The Fall River Monitor saws

o. The Fall River Monitor says the
linsn mill in that city has suspended op-
erations for the present, on account of
the want ofstock. 1t is pity that this
linnen factory - almost the only one in
the country-should be suspended for
want OF stock, while hundred thousand
tons of fax straw are thrown away as
useless, in the States north Of the Ohio
river. There is shameful lack Of econ
emy somewhere in the business.

policy Of Insurance that was ever-as is
supposed-issued in Evansville. 1t is
registered number one and was issued to
Saunders Ilornbrook, father of Philip
Hernbrook, Esq, on the 29th OF October
1927, by Joshua V. Robinson, agent of
the Hartford Protection Insurance Com
pany, on fat boat from Evansville to
New Orleaas, with a cargo Of eighteen
COWS and steers, fifty sheep, ten calves,
and a quantity of oats and corn, the
whole valued at S4OO on which $3.50
was insured at 31I per cent. The elder
Mr.. Hornbrook was captain. The docu.
ment is interesting as showing the value
of the cargo at that period. and the
difference in the prices Of the present
day. The cows and steers would now
be estimated as worth more than the
whole cargo of cows, sheep, calves, oats
and corn was then valued at. 1t is the
intention Of Mr.. Hornbrook to place this
policy among the archieves of the Library
Association. if no prior one can be dis
covered, as an interesting historical relic
