Our CONNECTIONS WITH PADUcAH.--weh have

Our CONNECTIONS WITH PADUcAH.--Weh have
advocated with good deal Of zeal the est
blishment Of Packet Line to Paducah, and
we are glad to see, the Enquirer give its
strength to the enterprise, as our citizens
have almost unanimously expressed their ap
probation of il; and it seems as if it were only
necessary for some one to take the lead in the
matter to start the enterprise at once. The
citizens Of Paducah are quite ready to do their
share, and give the line the support of their
influence. Judge Trimble the President Of the
New Orleans and Ohio Rail Road Company at
Paducah, is expected to visit our city with
some Of his iellow-citizens, for the purpose of
forming some arrangements between the citi-
zens of the two cities to put the line in opera
ton. We hope our citizens will be prepared to
cooperate efficiently in any judicious plan the
citizens Of Paducah may offer.
In the mean time, it appears Judge Trimb,e
has extended his views great way beyond
Packet line. He is for building railway
=. along the Ohio, and tie us to Paducah by
bonds of iron. The following is letter adj
dressed by him to the President Of our Straight
Line Railroad:

US. SENATORS FROM CALIFoGNIA.-Dayid
C.. Broderck has been elected Senator for the
long term, in place Of John u. Weller, and John
NJ. Gwin for the short term. Both were NOM
mated in caucus-Mr. Broderick securing
his own nomination and election first. 1t is
generally supposed that the election of Gwin
is the result of bargain, dissraceful in its
nature. the terms Of which were dictated by
Mr.. Broder.ck. who had in his own hands a
sufficient number of votes to secure the cleo
ton OF whomsOever he pleased. The bargain
is said to be that Mr.. G. yields all claim to
any influence in the federal appointments.
MI Gwin has published letter, In which he
states that he shall not interfere in the dispen-
sation of executive favors.

Evansville Commercial colle-a.

Among the numerous and highly credit
able institutions Of learning Of which our city
boasts at the present time, the Evansville
Commercial College takes its position in the
first rank. 1t is now in its fifth year, and
may be considered one Of the permanent in
stitutions of the Staie-possesSing all the ia
cilities BY which thorough commercial edu-
cation may be acquired, as speedily as in any
other similar institution in the West. The
college has been greatly improved and Iefur-
nishcd during the past season, and is now
highly pleasant and attractive in all its apart
mcnts. The large increas, Of pupils in atten
dance the present session attests the growing
popularity ofthe college among the CONNER
cial people of the country. None but good
accountants ever receive diplomas, and when
they are accredited as book keepers, their
qualifications are distinctly specifed-and
whether a full or only a partial course has
been pursued. The public can rely with the
utmost confidence upon the mole Of inStruc-
ton, and the general advantages of this insti-
tuition to confer full and thorough know-
ledge the science OF bookkeeping in all its
departments. Pupils are always under the
immediate instruction Of Dir. j. Benin, the
Principal, who invites strangers visiting the
! city to call at his rooms. Ills terms are mod
crate and there is no use Of Senling pupils
abroad to obtain an education which they can
SO much better acquire at home.

The INDIANA LEGIsLA1rRE.AWe are tol

THE INDIANA LEGIsLAITRE.-We are told
by several highly respectable gentlemen OF
different party afinities, who were eye-wit-
nesseS that the scenes enacted in our Lcsisla-
ture on Monday, were disgrace and re-
proach to the civilization and intelligence of
the age. All have confessed 10 us they blush
ed for the shame and iniamy entailed upon
their State, by the conduct of those on whom
had been conferred the honor and duty OF
maintaining the dignity, and representing the
responsibility and intelligence of Indiana
Democrats, Republicans, and Democratic
Americans, have declared it the most dis
graceful farce ever enacted in an assembly OF
sober men, having any claims to decent re-
spect among their fellow citizens. Void OF
selfrespect, and irreverent themselves, they
forget the people still have a regard for sa-
cred and holy things. The revcred legacy Of
Washington and the preaching Of Christ
cannot be made the sport Of maudlin rowdies,
even in q, Senatej chamber, without outraging
the religious feelings and moral sentiments Of
the people. The day has patriotic and sacred
associations, and one would suppose would
have impressed the most frivolous and de-
graded, with serious reflections and awaken
ed some sense of dignity. When it was pro-
posed to read the Farewell Address of Wash
ington, which contains solemn lessons, which
such an auditory as is now found in our hall:
ofilegisiation, most imperiously need,it was
irreverently proposed to substitute the Lords
prayer, on which mock debate ensaed; and
another amendment was then offered, that the
chamber be entertained with the reading o
the Sermon on the Mount. 1t is wonder
that respectable men do consent longer t.
hold seat in such body. The time of th'
Legislature is wasted in most frivolous ant
fruitless proceedings, while the most import.
ant interests Of the people are suffering. II
is feared that no important measures will b
perfected; and the Legislature will probably
adjourn without passing an apportionmen
bill, liquor law, or even an appropriation bill
and the Governor has declared his firm de
termination not to call an extra session, 70
the very good reason-in which we fear Ia
will be upheld by the people that the pres
emit Legislature is incapable of doing any thing
even il they had the will: but they show nc
desire to devote the little capacity they have
to the good Of the State.

RAILROAD FROM New ALBANY To EVANS
vILLE.-The papers in the counties above US
are discussing the project of Railroad from
New Albany to Evansville. The events Of
the past winter have impressed the impor-
lance Of the subject on the attention Of the
public 1t would open the richest mineral
region in the State; one Astounding in abun-
dant beds of coal and the richest iron ore
1t is region that will become at some fu-
ture day the seat OF the most active mechan.
ical industry, and of dense population
One route proposed, is through Corydon, JAS
per, &C., to our city. The Paol Eagle rec
ommcnds, that the road should be connected
with the New Albany and Salem road, and
with our Straight Line road to indianapolis;
that it start from near Salem, making Liyonia
Paoli, and Jasper points, and intersect the
Straight Line road at Petersburg. The dis.
lance would be less than seventy miles, over
. very level route, Of easy grades, passing
through vast lcoal-felds, AMI a very rich az
ricul,ural district, that has now no outlet fol
its productions, but dirt roads. This road
would give New Albany, JelersOnville, and
Louisville an abundant supply of the bes;
coal at cheaper rates than it could be obtain
ed from any other source. 1t is supposed tn,
inhabitants of the cities around the Falls
could be induced, for their own advantage, t.
take large amount of stock in the road
:.
The project of the PaOli Eagle, is the mos
feasible and promising one that has been sug
gested, and is worthy Of discussion.

a SnocKlNG MUgDER.-The Petersburg
Reporter gives the details of shocking Inur-
der committed near Bloomfield, in this
State The murderer had been arrested. and
Was in the custody of the Sheriff of Greene
county. 1t appears that young man, nam
ed VIM. Buckner, was travelling with an old
man named Joshua Holden; and on the 10th
instant, they got off the cars at Bloomfield,
in this State, and put up at hotel for the
night In the morning. they Started Off to-
scther, as they happened to be going one road.
They came on until within about fifteen
miles Of Bloomfield, Greene county, when it
il supposed that Buckner shot Holden. When
Holden was discovered, he was laying on his
face. The ball entered the back part of the
head--struck the skull bone just above the
left eye and lodged on the brain. HIS coat
pockets were tunnel wrong side ont, evidently
showing that he had been murdered for his
money. 1t is supposed that Buckner found
no money upon Holden, as there were about
forty dollars secreted about his body when
found. Buckner than went to TayIorsvile
in Warrick county. where he was overtaken
and arrested ty Sheriff Moss. Buckner is
about 10 years Of age, has very good coun-
tenance and seems to be a man of good sense

FLooD IL THE WABAsH-The height OF the
water in the Wabash is greater than has been
known for many years. At lafayette por-
ton Of the city is under water. The Ameri-
can says on Sunday morning the citizens Of
that place were aroused long before day light,
from their peaceful slumbers by the violent
ringing Of the Court House bell. The citizens
assembled at this sudden and unexpected
summons as they supposed, to fire; bat in
stead OF fire, they FONDA food invading them.
! The whole northeast portion OF the city was
inundated; in many places tie water had
risen INTO the lower stories, and cut of the
retreat of the inmates, before they were
awakened No lives were lost, but n great
deal of property was lost and damaged. Fences
were swept away, and the contents OF cellars
ruined. The city authorities and citizens were
deyisng plans to leyec the water out, and turn
the current off from the city.
! At Terre Haute, the Bottom Road, opposite
the city, thrown up last year across the River
Bottom one mile in length was acting as DAM
and had backed the water up, throwing the
main current against the east bank, and the city
side of the river, and greatly increased its yelo-
city and power; the PIERS OF the bridge were be-
| ing rapidly undermined. One of them had set
tied two or three feet and the toll house was in
danger OF being precipitated into the River.
The immense pressure of the water and Drift
has already forced some Of the timbers out of
the bridge, and there was great danger of its
falling into the Stream. lfit should be carried
away, there would be no chance OF restoring
it under year. 1t is deemed great error that
NJ sideways were made through the Bottom
road for the escape ofthe waters it accummu-
lated above.

Consolidation.

The authorities of the two corporations Of
Evansville and Lamasco have appointed com
mittecs Of conference to ARRANGE the terms Of
a union. The subject should be settled at
once and the consolidation accomplished be-
fore the Municipal election. There are no Sc
rious Difficulties TO be arranged, and no knotty
points to be discussed. We are one people al
ready; our interests are common; the desire of
all is to unite upon grounds of perfect equality
and upon the principles Of equity, and with
our united strength-without any local jars or
prejudices-push forward the united interests
of ur'united city. Robert Treat, Paine's mot
to Of the Union, is applicable to our position,
"inited we stand, divided we fall No great
enterprises can be undertaken by either, while
we remain separate, rivals and prehaps an;ago-
nists. Evansville vii! do nothing for Lamas-
CO, nor the former for the latter. ITO
One will not undertake any great improve
ment, for herself, because the other who
will pay nothing for it, will derive almost as
much benefit as the one that does the work
and bears the whole burthen. This has been
the course in all cities under separate and in
dependent municipal corporations. None Of
them who have united, have ever regretted
lit. Philadelphia and New Orleans, with all
their varied and rival interests, have each re-
duced four and Eve Independent corporations
into one city government; and have found
economy, efficiency, and more active and
generous public spirit, the result We hear
no objections made to the union of our two
city corporations, on either side, and gene
rous, concilatory spirit on the part OF The
conference committees, will so adjust the term:
OF Union, that not dissenting voice will be
heard in either corporation. The time to &C.
complish it, is short and there should he nc
procrastnation in the preliminary measures
