THE END OF THE u. s. BANK.-Last week
al the old books, papers, drafts, checks, let
tiers, ct eetera, that had been preserved on file
as vouchers, in the long course of the i'm
mense business of the U. s. Bank, were sold
In a heap, in Philadelphia, and purchased by
q paper-maker, to be reground and manu-
featured into new stock. The whole mass
weighed o.er forty tons. Ten tons of this
vast amount is of correspondence, autograph
letters of the first statesmen, politicians and
financial men Of this and other countries
Drafts upon the Rothsehilds for hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, certificates of stock
transferred to the leading bankers in Europe
checks and drafts, from Clay, Webster, Ad-
ans, Calhoun, Houston, Crockett, Cass, &c.
all lie scattered, ready for the important
transformation into clean, unsullied white
paper. This huge mass of books and paper.
strikes the visitor with establishment. A fain
idea may be formed of the colossal charactel
of the institution which at one time occupie,
so important part in the history of tn,
country. What 4 vast store-house these pa
pers would be for individual histories-and
perchanoe, they would illustrate some unex
planned passages in the history of the politi
al parties of the day.

Our AGRICULTURAL SoCIETY.-At the last
meeting of the Vanderburg Agricultural and
horticultural Society, the following resOlu-
lion was adopted:
Resozred, That any person wishing to give
or offer SIDE PREMIUMS for articles to be ex-
hibited at our next Fair, can do so,
provided the same do not conflict with the
rules of the Society.
Several persons have already proposed pre-
miums for various articles, and the ladies
have had an example set them worthy OF
imitation, by Mrs. Cawson, an old and high
ly esteemed resident of the county, who has
presented the Secretary of the Society with
ten dollars, So of which is to be offered for
the best made shirt, and So for the best split
bottom chair, showing a creditable public
spirit, and at the same time just apprecia-
ton of the true accomplishments of wife,
and proper estimate of old fashioned COM
forts. If there be any other citizens who
wish to encourage the farmer, the mechanic
and artizan, or would ike to see an exhibi-
ton of skill in the dairy, household manu-
features, or some beautiful handiwork with
the needle, they VIII make their generous in
tentions known to Mr.. =. Hornbrook befor,
the Goth instant in order that their offers may
be published in the premium list Of the So
ciety.

Mt. VERNoS.-We visited this flouriShing
town on Tuesday. Since our last visit the
town has improved materially, and its good
citizens are still sanguine OK one day bccom-
ing dangerous rival to Evansville. The
amount of produce shipped from that point
exceeds that of any place between Louisville
and Paducah, with the exception Of Evans
vile. Two large wharf boats are now in use
there, capable of storing an immense amount
of freight. We were glad to know that the
citizens of Mt. Vernon are deeply interested
in the Evansville and Paducah Packet pro-
iect, and are willing to take stock in the en-
terprise. They say that the line cannot fail
to pay, now that the st. Louis packets are
reduced to four. The Flower House, one of
the institutions Of Mt. Vernon, is as deserv-
edly popular ever.
We met many farmers from different parts
OF Posey county, who informed us that the
army worm has made its appearance, and
will probably do great damage to the crops.
The wheat looks very promising, and it is
now believed to be beyond danger from the
worms. We noticed on the wharf number
of patent mowers and reapers, which the
farmers are beginning to use very generally.
The wheat crop will be very large in Posey
county, as larger breadth of land has been
sown this year than ever before.
The Evansville Daily Journal is circulated
in Mt. Vernon every day by carrier, and
the list is constantly increasing. They arc
dependent upon the Journal for their tele-
graphic intelligence. We are under obliga-
tons to our friends in that locality for their
exer:ions in behalf of the Journal. By way
of encouragement we state that over five
hundred copies of the Daily, Tri-weekly, and
Weekly Journal, are circulated in Posey
county. We are, therefore, especially inter
ested in everything which concerns its goodly
citizens.

~ Letters from WILLARD CARrENr

Letters from WILLARD CARPENTER,
Esq, were received by the last steamers from
England, written in the highest spirits, and
expressing confident hopes of success in the
objects of his mission. He carried the high
est testimonials of credit from the most re-
spectacle Eastern capitalists, and has ample
credits for purchasing the Iron for the entire
Road, if he can make satisfactory bargains
in regard to price and time of payment. If
the Iron can be procured on such terms Of
payment as viii enable the Company to com
plete the whole line and develope the value
of the land on which its bonds are founded,
before the payments for the Iron become due.
and thereby avoid a sacrifice of the assets OF
the Company, to pay for it, the Iron will be
obtained. Mr.. Carpenter has the ardent
wishes of every fellow-townsman for his
success, and should he come back with a ia
vorable contract for the Iron, signed anc
sealed, they will be ready to give him al
ovation on his arrival.

GAs.-An important invention is describ
ed by the Cincinnati Gazette which promises
to provide the means for every man to make
his own gas in his own house at one fifth the
present cost. 1t is called "Halsey's portable
gas generator" The principle adopted in
making the gas is not new; but the apparatus
by which it is generated, purified and dis
tributed is extremely simple. cheap, and con-
venient, producing very superior gas at q
cost of so cents per 1000 cubic feet. The
proprietors of the Gazette are so well salts
fed with the invention that they are apply
ing one of the apparatus to their office, in
which they consume gas, at the present
prices, to the amount Of 81, 900 per annum.
They hope to supply themselves with gas
from the new apparatus at cost of one
quarter of what they now pay. In few
days, the experiment will be fully tested
The gas is made from coal, and the cost Of
the machinery for its generation is from So
to $500. Gas is now being extensively used
in cooking, and gas cooking stoves are COM
ing into vogue, and are found to be very con-
venient, economical and pleasant appurte-
nances to house. An apparatus for cooking
by gas is patented and sold in Cincinnati fol
$50 to S75 that is by no means as convenien
or pleasant as the German apparatus for th'
same thing that can be imported from Ger
many and sold here for $50 orS30.

THE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The steam
ship Niagara, will not after all, receive on
board the cable for which she went to Eng
land. A letter from London says, that in
order to fit her for the reception Of the cable,
would require not only large expenditure OF
money, but would SO damage the vessel as to
render her almost unfit for naval service. IL
has also been found almost impossible for
her to anchor within two hundred yards OF
the works where the cable is being made
These circumstances have been considered,
and the Atlantic Telegraph Company have
arrived at the conclusion that they csn dis
pense with the services Of the Niagara in any
other capacity than that of an escort, and
have resolved on the ground of economy, to
charter steamer in her place, which they
could accomplish at an outlay of fl5,oOO OF
$4,000.

Sunday School Union. The advance on
these books does not pay the freight and ex-
change, and Messrs. Dobell and Lister have,
in what they have done to secure a constant

The New Orleans papers bring the partic-
ulars of the terrible disaster that destroyed
the fine steamship Louisiana, which occurred
eight miles Southeast of Galveston on Sun
day morning the 3lst ult., before daylight.
The fire is supposed to have been eommuni-
Gated from the furnaces to a quantity OF hay
that was slowed as freight between decks
It was first discovered about two o'clock,
when all the passengers were in their berths,
and spread so rapidly that the access of the
officers to the fire engines was cut off, and
all efforts to arrest the flames were unavail-
ing. The tiller ropes were burned off soon
after the fire broke through the matches, and
the ship became unmanageable, and the pi-
lot abandoned the wheel, the engineer was
forced off by the flames before he could stop
the engines; the boat therefore kept on in
mad career, while the raging fire in her
hold was raising the steam in her boilers to
an explosive pressure. As soon as the hller
ropes gave way and access to the fire engines
were cut off, the captain ordered that boats
with the passengers on board be lowered; one
touched the water, the lines were cut and the
steamer swept ahead and left it floating in
safety and all in it were saved. Another,
containing several ladies and children and a
company Of 90 passengers, was lowered; as
IL touched the water, the speed of the ship
eapsized it and all Of its inmates disappeared
in the surge and went under the ship and
wheel and not one was seen afterwards.

throw chairs and floats of every kind over
board, and then leapt into the sea after them.
| BY this means number were saved, after
having been in the water so minutes or on
hour, by steamer that was several miles
distant when the fire became visible, and by
various crafts that came to their rescue from
Galveston harbor. The whole number los
is supposed to be upwards of fifty, most O
them respected residents of Texas on theil
way TO New Orleans. Among those rescued
was the Captain Of the ship, who was th'
last to leave the burning vessel, and wht
jumped overheard with chair in his hanC
on which he supported himself in the waite
for upwards of an hour. The shipwas burn
to the waters edge and sunk. The Compa
ny to which she belonged have had, 70
twenty years, monopoly of the steamship
lines from New Orleans to Texas, and hay
five ar six ships Of the same class in the line
and have always been their own insurers
The loss of the ship falls entirely upon tn
owners. There were large sums of none
on board, belonging to passengers, in til
vessels safe, al of which, with all she con
tanned of freight and baggage, was consume
or went down with her wreck. The burnin
was distinctly visible from Galveston beach

90 Capt. STRAN, of the steamer saracen
who was mobbed by a crowd on The Upper
Mississippi, was passenger on the steamer
Alvin Adams, which passed up yesterday
morning. He had a narrow escape-the pam
falcons which he had on at the time being
riddled with buckshot. Two knuckles on
his left hand are broken, buckshot is still
in his right arm and several have been taken
from one of his legs. He had in his posses
sion buckshot found in his pocket, which
had been completely fattened out by strik-
ing bunch of keys. But for this providen-
tial shield the shot would have taken effect
in his abdomen. His statement of the Diff
Guilty is substantially the same as that pub
lished in our columns. The loss to his boat
will amount to over $4,000. The mate of the
Saracen was shot in several places, and the
Waterman was also severely injured.

"a terrible tragedy occurred near Win

.3~A terrible tragedy occurred near Win
chester, KY, on the line of the Covington
and Lexington Railroad, or Saturday last.
As the train passed over the road, the body
of Col. Price, highly respectable citizen of
Clark county, was discovered lying by the
side Of the Road weltering in blood; and o
short distance beyond, the lifeless body of his
son, pierced with the bullet of revolver.
The father had received the contents Of
double barrelled shot gun in the abdomen,
aud was still breathing when found, and re-
vived enough to tell that he and his son had
been shot, while riding on the road, by a man
named Gay, who had been offended at some
supposed allusion to his family, in commu-
nication written by Mrs. Price to local pa
per, for which she was an habi tual contribu-
tor. She had given a description of family
residing in her ncighborhood, from the mis-
management of whose head much domestic
a1fiiction and disastrous consequences had
arisen. Gay took the allusion Gs intended
! for himself, and meeting Col. Price, he de-
manded if he considered himself responsible
for what his wife wrote. The Colonel, who
was unconscious of what he alluded to, re-
| piled in rather q jocular manner that he was
not, and the parties separated upon appa-
rently friendly terms. On Saturday morn
ing Col. Price was riding on horseback at the
spot above designated-his son, similarly
mounted, being some distance behind-wheI
he was intercepted by Gay, who carried q
double barrelled gun, which he discharged
full at the Colonel, who fell from his horse L
all appearance dead. The son at This moment
Fastening to the spot Gay drew revolver
and again fired, with such fatal effect thai
the son also fell. After thus disposing of hi.
victims, who were to all appearances dead
Gay made off, and has not vet been arrested

TEooPs FOR UTAH.-It is announced that
twenty-five hundred troops have been ordered
to proceed to Utah, who are already OF
will soon be on the march. This force, with
the aid of the American citizens and the dis
affected Mormons in the Territory, it !:
thought, will be sufficient to overawe Brig
ham and the rebellious members of the
church. II Is said the military force of the
Saints has been grossly exaggerated, and that
they could not marshal five thousand men in
a conflict with the Union,-and as soon as {
respectable force shall reach the territory, tC
support the authority of the U. s. Courts
large numbers of protesting Mormons vii
secede, and repudiate the authority of tht
lecherous priesthood, whose tyranny is daily
becoming more intolerable. The movement
of the troops is evidence that the admins.
tration is acting with decision and energy.
