Railroad to Evansville.

The people of Evansville, GRANVILLE, Mt.
Carmel an6 Owensville are deeply interested
in the construction Of a railroad only twenty
nine miles and half in length, which will
not only connect those several points, but
will be the means Of ultimately throwing the
entire trade of Southern Illinois into the lap
of Evansville. Let US see how this may be
done.
From McIntire, on the E. & G. Road to
Owensville is six miles, from thence to Gray
vile sixteen miles. from point on the road
from Owensville to GRANVILLE, three miles
west of Owensvlle to Mt. Carmel. seven miles
and hall, thus making twenty miles
and half.
Suppose this contemplated work is COM
pleted-what next-why a road has already
been graded and bridged, ready for the iron
from Mt. Carmel to Albion, the shire town OF
Edward county, iii. With the certainty OF
having railroad connection at Mt. Carmel,
the rich farmers of Edward county would
finish their end of the road at once. The
Mound City Company contemplate construct
ing railroad, pointing towards the rising
sun-and with finished road from GRANVILLE
lintersecting the L. & c. Road, that company
will make GRANVILLE the certain terminus oil
their road
The people Of the towns named, and the
country along the route, with little material
aid from Evansville, can easily make these
roads. All that is wanted to accomplish the
enterprise is acton-united action. When sc
much good is to be the certain result Of SO un
considerable an effort. will not the pcopl,
, wake up and be doing? Let there be a gene
raj meeting at some central point And lie
, those who assemble resolve on carrying TIT
work through, and it will soon be accom-
plished.
Who will fix upon time and place? Shal
it he at Owensville on the 18th of this month

AGED SrATEsMEN.-There is something in
political life that invigorates both mind and
body, and preserves the mental powers in all
their strength and brightness to the latest day.
Our own history presents many instances
where public life has been uninterrupted, and
continued TO an advanced period Of life, of a
vigorous old age but retirement is almost
surely fatal to an old politician-mind and
body sink at once, without the usual stimulus
to action. We have two very old and sue
cessful politicians at the head of our affairs
Lord Pamerston, the British Premier, is past
"a years Of age, and in the daily struggles in
the Commons with an arrav of talents in OPP
position, scarcely ever cqualled, he fols his
aaversaries by his adroitness and ability. A
London correspondent Of the National Intel,i-
gencer has the following remarks upon the
vigorous and popular Old statesman
"Lorl Palmerston shows wear and tear con-
siderably, and it is painful to see him hobbling
up the stairs Of the House Of Commons on two
sticks. 1t is no trife at the age of seventy
four to have to sit night after night, until past
midnight, to hear all that party virulence and
political ingenuity can imagine against his pro-
ceedings, and to have to reply to all that such
men as Gladstone, d'Israeli. Graham and Cob
den, can urge in opposition to his policy, and
to find Lord j. Russell, Layard, Roebuck.
Gooderich and Gibson joined to the number of
his opponents (; and, besides all this, to have
the goM to contend against There are few
men who could bear up against such comb
nation Of opponents ; but the brave old man
does bear up, and returns promptly, vigorous.
ly and effectively, blow for blow. let the at
tack come from what quarter and from whom
soever it may. The general feeling of the
public is undoubtedly very strongly in favor
Of the Premier This is shown in every pos.
siblc way, and scarcely provincial journal
reaches London that is not decidedly his ad-
y0cate."

0r"Beau Hickman" is known to everyone
who has ever visited Washington. Tho fol-
lowing item, in relation to that gentleman, We
clip from the correspondence Of the Baltimore
Patriot:
"Beau Hickman. one Of the institutions of
Washington" was knocked down, kicked and
considerably bruised, without provocation, by
reputed gambler, named Doll or Dull. Beau
is always quiet and inoifensive, and in no con-
dition to defend himself The outrage was .
wanton one, and the victim received universal
sympathy, while the perpetrator Of it received
as cordial condemnation. Fortunately, Beau
was not seriously injured, and he is to-day in
the quiet pursuit of his avocation."

6FThe project Of connecting Memphis
with Charleston, by Railroad, was first broach-
Cd by General Edmund P. Gaines. It VA
deemed one of the visionary schemes Of the
cratic and enthusiastic old General, of whose
sanity many people in his day had serious
doubts. When, many years after, the project
was revived by O few bold schemers, Govern
or James c. Jones. who had gathered golden
opinions as the eloquent champion of the old
Wing party and as the accomplished and pop
ular Governor Of the State, was induced to
leave the political arena, and advocate this
great work Of internal Improvement before the
people. Multitudes went to meetings to be
charmed by his eloquent and stirring speeches,
but to smile at the extravaganza Of the enter
prise but, to their astonishment and some
times to their dismay. they found he had not
only stolen their hearts. but emptied their
pockets. In New Orleans, where it was evil
dent that that city must lose all the trade that
Charleston should take from Memphis, he rails
ed hundreds of thousands of dollars in stock
for project that was to impair their own com
mercial interests. By his tact and eloquence
he triumphed everywhere. He inaugurated
the liberal policy Of Tennessee, by which she
grants her bonds to purchase the iron for all
the roads built within her territory. As first
President, he put the work in operation. He
was succeeded by Mr. Sam. Tate, practical
man of business. of great energy and financial
ability, who has, by unwearied labor, carried
it TO completion. On the 10th ult., the finish
ing of the work was celebrated by an assem-
blage of the citizens along the line, at the gap
where the last rail was to be laid, which wa
to unite the Atlantic cities with the Bluffs o
the Mississippi. by an unbroken chain. Ate
congratulatory speeches had been made by tn
Company. it was proposed that, inasmuch a
Gov Jones, first President Of the road. ha'
driven the first Spike, he should be rcqueste'
to drive also the last The Governor, am
cheers, took a sledge, placed the rails, an
drove the last spike. 1t was proud event
him tc behold the completion of work whic
will be greater and more durable monumen

: Here is striking evidence Of what two earnes
u men can do for a city. Memphis was not a
large, nor had she as many resources when sh
began the road, as Evansville now has.

NAPLEs,-The condition of affairs in Ma
pies is most deplorable; the tyranny Of the
King has excited intense hatred among the
people; an outburst Of popular violence, is
feared daily. Our minister, Mr.. Owen,
thought proper to ask for the presence Of one
of our public ships, to protect American in
terests and to enforce the claims to protection
Of man who had heen arrested by the police
for having applied to Mr.. Owen for bounty
land given to the American seamen in the
war Of 1872, during which he was sailor in
our navy. The man, after some hesitation
was set at liberty. Not long since war
steamer was blown up in the harbor, and az
forwards a fort, as it was supposed by acc:-
dent. \ letter to the Journal Of Commerce
says:
There is now no doubt that both the fort
and the war steamer were blown up by de-
sign, and were intend ed as mere diversions of
the minds Of the police from other great plans
of ruin which have since been discovered
All the great castles had been undermined
and were almost ready for an explosion. A
mine had been prepared for the Royal Palace,
and the plan formed for springing it during
the great ball. by which the King and the
MOBILES might be involved in indiscriminate
ruin. The design was discovered, the invita-
tions recalled, and the King and his family
Immediately hurried to Oaserta, where, as
you know, he is living in constant apprehcn.
sions Of his life. a spectacle Of pity and of
cursing to the world.
These facts Of mining the castles and the
palace l would not report, had they not been
communicated by those who are worthy Of
confidence. They reveal state of despera-
ton which will, before long. produce decided,
if not awful, results. AS to the future of the
kingdom, whether Bomba lives, or resigns, or
is killed, who is wise enough to project?
