Tn. N.,x Mail Boat.

The little steamer Aida appeared here on
Sunday, as mail carrier on the route be-
tween here and Paducah. She is owned
principally by Cap. Fowler who has purchns-
ed the mail contract from Messrs. Pierce
and Shirly, for which he has given bonus
Of SO, 900. The Aida is diminutive craft,
that has been put upon the route temporari-
", till more suitable boat can be procured
The line is tr.-weekly, and the boat will
leave here on Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays of each week. The Done viii con
rinae her semi-weekly trips to Cairo, leav'

sisccsc desire to promote the interests @
both, and 20 cultivate spirit of mutual goo,

merchants Of Paducah and western Ken
tucky and Tennessee have ordered all thei
eastern goods through by the way of Evans

establishment of two lines of packets be

completed, as it will be during the prescn

\ Boeus BoGus.-Among the vile swind-

New York, was one under the management
of a man called Fem, who sent out circu-

ApvERTsNG.-Th largest fortunes that
have been realized in any regular business
in this country, have been derived through
the means of judicious and liberal system
of advertising. Numberless instances can
be pointed out where merchants and manu-
facturers have been enabled TO outSrip all
their competitors, from the simple fact that,
by advertising extensively, they kept the
public constantly reminded that they were
ready 10 accommodate their wants. Adyer-
tising has been reduced TO science. We
have known men spend all of their profits
in business for one year in advertising, con-
fident that the expenditure would be return
ed to them many times over during the
next year, from the increase of their bust
ness occasioned by their advertisements. j
you find thriving business concern, you
will find that its great success is attributed
to having made itself known to the public
by advertising literally Louisville journal

The L. s. BUILDINGS At INDIAyAP0LIs.-
The Government appear to have put its foot
into bad mud hole in indianapolis. The
lot purchased for the site of the building for
a Post Office and U. S. Court Rooms, is a
part of an old morass on which no good
foundation can be had for the building.
The Citizen says:
b @Thc builders of the U. S. Post Office
edifice, corner of Pennsylvania and Market
streets, in exeavating for the foundation,
came to bed Of quick sand; and though
they have dug to a lower depth than the
bottom of the wells, they have not found a
firm bottom except in one place about a rod
| square, where a bed of boulders was found
A space some forty feet leng and twenty feet
wide presents surface of yielding mud and
sand, through which the water oozes, re
quiring constant pumping. The place
where the solid bottom was found is bcins
filed in with broken stone, ccmented Will
mortar. The work is accompanied witt
great difficulty, requiring large number o
men, and much costly materials. From ap
pearances, we fear the building will not b
raised above the foundation this season
The difficulty is caused by striking the be
of an old morass. 49, =
I 1t is a good thing that our old Uncle wa
the fortunate or unfortunate one to buy III
site, for it would have gone bad for an II
dividual or company to incur such seriot
expense as attends the filling up Of th'
: hole.

Free speech Prohibited.

The Rockport Democrat, which is giving
infinite annoyance to some of its former
friends, in the Democratic ranks, puts in a
spirited protest against the gag resolution OF
our county convention:
The Lecomptonites of vauderburgh coun-
ty, seeing that the discussion OF the Lecoinp-
ton question is damaging their prospects,
have put ban upon the freedom of all Le-
comptonites From this out Democrats of
the Lecompton school are prohibited, under
the pains and penalties Of being burned IN
effqv, tarrcd and feathered, and drvmmed out
Of fke party, from discussing the Kansas
question. Freedom and free speech, and
free thought are TO be strslngled on Ameri-
can soil. t,s1 tesFe q e-sla i. -
Read the following decree from the Popes
of Lecompton in yanderburgh county, and
then blush for the cause of freedom in In,

Resoiced, That we regard that Democra
as a schismatic, who will persist in discus
sing Lecompton or anti-Lecompton ques
tions. believing as we do, that spirit o
concession should influence every one, wher
there is difference of mere opinion upol
any question of mere policy, for the sake @
, the harmony of the Democratic party, an
the accomplishment Of its great objects an
ends. ls,-, =, -sssfaar g.

.ghteen FIVE dollar bills and one ten
COLLAR bill. The cashier rendered the notary
$50 in American gold, which he refused
To-day the notary returned and made the
same demand as before, only asking to see
the silver, to ascertain the date of the COIN
.re. The Cashier counted the bills as be-
fire ad them all right, and laid them
fec, oe .desk, and again counted out
a, a,,em,van silver and $40 in gold.
,,,z;no l;aucp looked at piece or two Of

throuel, tho, and asked for the 500 in
g. a.. Marn, the Cashier, replied that
he had redeemed the bills and they were
his, and that there was his coin--take it,
After some conversation the notary lef
rather excited, and soon returned with MIR
John s. Davis, and both went inside tn
counter, the latter asking Mr.. Dowiini
which was his package of money. MI
Bowling pointed out the package as Mr.
Mann, the Cashier, was picking it up. MI
Davis grabbed at the money and wrested
from Mr. Mann, tearing one bill in TIVE
leaving the greater part Of it on the foo
About this time we expected a general m'
lee, when Mr.. Mann ordered Mr.. Davis frol
the bar of the Bank. Mr.. d. refused to g
and demanded of the President Mr.. NJ
Donald, if he sanctioned the act of Il
Cashier. Mr.. McD. replied that that W
the understanding with the Bank. After
few more excited remarks on the part of |
concerned the mutilated bills were aga
presented and the same coiu rendered
yayment, which was refused, and the I
tary and Mr.. Davis left the Bank, with
view, we presume, to protest the notes.
