Mr.. EDIToR:-Several communications have
appeared in your paper, advocating the ne
cessity for a railroad connection with Gray
vile.
The trade of Southern Illinois has always
been looked upon with much favor by our
merchants, and geographically considered, we
have thought it legtimately belonged to our
trade.
The Evansville and Charlottesville Rail
road was originally projected to connect us
with our Sucker friends at Mt. Carmel, and
therefore, the cognomen of Evansville and
Illinois Railroad" Mt. Carmel was then
looked upon as the best point Of connection,
and if the time has arrived to build road to
Southern Illinois," the advantages of con-
Meeting us at Mt. Carmel, should be duly
considered.
think, all things considered, Mt. Carmel is
decidedly the best point. In the first place,
it can be accomplished for one-third or one
fourth Of the cost Of a road to GRANVILLE, as
it will not exceed much Gf any) over one
fourth the distance, making Princeton or
Patoka the starting point; about miles from
Patoka, and 9 or 10 from Princeton, is the
distance; and as soon as completed to the
Wabash it could be made the interest Of the
Evansville and Charlottesville Road to ope-
rate it; which could hardly be made to pay
on road to GRANVILLE Immediately.
| If the road is extended into Illinois, (Which
certainly should be the case) the chance to
do So is decidedly better from Mt. Carmel,
than from GRANVILLE. Under the old internal
improvement system of Illinois, a large
amount was expended in grading a railroad
! from Mt Carmel in the direction Of Alton;
much of that grading is in good state Of
preservation, and passes through a highly i'm
proved section Of Illinois, from Mt. Carmel
via Albion and Fairfield; all of thom county
Seats and places of considerable population
wealth and enterprise. There is no better
point on the Wabash for bridge, than Mt
Carmel-the river having a smooth rock bot
tom from bank to bank would insure good
and permanent bridge site. So far as the
two places could draw trade think there
would not be much difference. The same
country would be dependent on either point
and their business would follow the railroad
RI The strongest reason urged for making thc
point at GRANVILLE, is, to cut off trade from
finding its way to points south Of US on the
Ohio river; especially, should a railroad be
built from Mt. Vernon to New Harmony and
) GRANVILLE. The growth and prosperity O
Evansville, does not depend on such slender
ties.
) Should our neighbors at Mt. Vernon, builC
railroad to GRANVILLE, and thereby increase
their wealth and population four fold, it would
not injure Evansville; but would increase oul
prosperity. 1t would render railroad tt
Mt. Vernon a thing Of course; and the trade
between US and Mt Vernon would be fa1
greater than the trade of GRANVILLE, which, t

We learn through private letter from
IIopknsyile that there are % negroes in Jail
there, under the control Of a vigilance com
mittee Some of them have been examined
and found guilty Of plotting an instruction
beyond the possibility Of a doubt Two Of
them are preachers, one of whom preached to
the negroes in IIopkinsville, as a station
preacher, and received salary Of 5 $50 for his
services. though a slave. This amount he had
agreed to give for the purchase of arms, anu
milton, &c. He has, heretofore, stood as high
as any man in that place, and his preaching
was listened to with much interest by both
white and black. He is of very dark brown
color, and quite intelligent. He is owned by
Rev. VIM. Jones, of Alabama professor in
some college, and formerly pastor of the Pres
| byterian church in that place. He was allow
cd to preach wherever he pleased and has
been invited by the aghites Of GAINESVILLE,
Elkton and Cadiz, to preach in those places,
which appointments he filled with great credit
to himself, while it raised him high in the esti-
nation Of the people. Heretofore he has
borne an unexceptionable character, and by

o. The Missouri papers are urging an in
crease of salary for the Office of Governor of
that State. He now receives $500 year,
and is provided with house to live in beside.
Yet, say our Missouri brethren Of the press,
"$2 500 year for the Governor Of Missouri, is
ridiculous" If $4,000 year is ridiculous for
the Governor Of Missouri, is not 81 800 SUI
premely ridiculous for the Governor of In

THE MORALITY OF THE DAY-The Louis

transfer Of young lady by her afianced in
need of money, to an old man with money, for
the cool consideration of $3.50 in hand, and
says, the marriage was duly solemnized on
Thursday, by DR.. benson, of st. Pauls
Church, and no body seems to be better salts
fed than the young man who made the trans
fer The bargain having been sanctifed by
the external forms Of religion, is made holy

Rsnszolence and Enterprise.

This morning twelve car loads of our ex-
cellent coal, will start over the Railroads for
Cincinnati. Two of them will be donation
from the citizens of Evansville to the Relief
Association of Cincinnati, to be distributed
among their poor. "Out Of our abundance do
we give them" The other ten car loads are
sent by the Bodam Mine Company, to be sold
in the market This is one Of the enterprises
of the indefatigable Mr.. Kersteman, who has
been over the route and made all his arrange
ments for it's transportation with the various
railroads. All OF the roads transport the
contribution to the poor without charge For
the other portions of the train Mr.. K. has
obtained such terms Of freight as will enable
him to sell his coal at less than the market
prices in Cincinnati, and make handsome
profit for the company. Mr.. Kersteman will
go on with the coal, and attend to its DISPOSE
ton in person, and will be found at the Gibson
House in Cincinnati on the arrival Of the coal
train. If the enterprise be attended with no
more trouble and expense than has been esti-
mated, the transmissions Of coal from our
mines to Cincinnati will be continued during
the extreme scarcity in that market. We
could easily spare them one full train a day
Mr. Kersteman, in this, as in all our coal de-
velopments and enterprises, has been the NOV,
ing spirit.
This remittance Of coal will give the Cincin
natians visible and practical demonstration
of our resources and great advantages for tht
prosecution Of all the great industrial pursuits
requiring steam power-the force which now
moves the mechanical world. We can senc
