A. New Candidate.

After the adjournme:. Of the Lccompton
Convention at Princeton, on Thursday even
ing, Mr.. Kiger read notice to the crowd,
that Andrew L. Robinson Esq, of Evans
vile, was candidate for Congress, and
would address the people of Gibson county
on the 18th of August at Princeton. In
making the announcement, Mr.. Kiger re-
marked, that Maj. Robinson was very good
man-a pretty sound lawyer-and an ar
dent friend of the negroes. He was popu-
lar among the abolitionists-would get a
unanimous vote in the dusky settlement
about Oak Grove. He was friend Of the
Majors and would like to have as many men
vote for himas choose to dose, but as for him.
self he should do no such thing. With this
appeal for his friend, the speaker descended
from the stand.

battle of Tippecanoe, on the 9Th day of No
vember, 1911. Colonel Davies, at the time
he fell, was Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the
State of Kentucky. This box, the timber
of which grew on the Tippecanoe battle
ground and the sword, were presented, in
open lodge, to the Grand Lodge of Ken
lucky, on the l4th day of October, 1858,
by Levi l.. Todd, of the State of Indiana
who was II student i'm the law office and a
member OF the private family of Col. Da-
viess, at the time he fell. Colonel Davies
was a resident of Lexington, Fayette Coun-
ty, Kentucky, where the donor was born
and reared and educated.

The following remarks are made for us
by one who has had full opportunity Of latet to
compare our condition with that of the cities
in the northwest
In all the material elements of prosperity,
Evansville is far in advance Of her sister CT
ties in the northwest The financial revul-
sion of 81 found the merchants of Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and northern Illinois in
volved in various speculations and extraya-
gances from which the most prosperous
times could scarcely have extricated them
Thousands failed during the first month OF
the panic, while others have struggled on,
by borrowing the capital of eastern Shy
locks at ruinous rates of interest. The eff
fects of the general bankruptcy of business
men in the North, can be readily discovered
in the condition of the towns and cities
which, year ago, attracted the attention of
the whole country by their rapid and unpre-
cedented growth. Evansville has been sim
gularly fortunate, and her business men
have weathered the late storm, not without
difficulty it is true, but without loss of cred
it or honor. Upon nearly every street in
the city, permanent Improvements are being
rapidly pushed forward and the close of the
present year will find Evansville materially
advanced in wealth and prosperity while
other cities have either stood still or retro
garded. Those who have visited the cities of
the North this season have returned more
fully convinced than ever, that this place
offers better inducements to manufacturers,
mechanics and capitalists than any other of
the towns on the Upper Mississippi which
have grown up in night to their present
position, without any of the natural advar-
tages with which Evansville is surrounded.
It is true that a town cannot grow faster
than the country by which it is surrounded.
It is not strange, therefore, that attempts to
build cities before the country surrounding
them is even broken by the pillow should be
complete failures.
We have often been told by the croakcrs
that the soil in the vicinity of Evansville
was not equal to that of Illinois and Iowa,
and that without a good farming country
around US, we could never hope to build UP
prosperous city. Fortunately for Evans
willie, the farmers of yanderburg and Posey
counties have been settled by German:
whose industry and thrift more than com.
pensate for deficiency in soil, and they arc
doing their part toward making Evansville
the metropolis of southern Indiana. The
geographical position of this place forbids
that it should ever have a rival in the trade
Of the Wabash and Green river Vallies.-
From the indications of the future, and a re-
view of the past We may well take cour-
age. No city in the West has brighter
prospects than Evansville. While othel
places have exhausted their means and at
tanned position they cannot maintain, ou
city is at the commencement of her career
with class of enterprising, solvent mer.
chants, undeveloped resources and natural
advantages inferior to none of her rivals in
the Mississippi Valley.

s6-The reports from Washington be-
come more and more confident in their tone,
that the Administration is making an effort
to acquire Cuba by purchase, and with pros
poets of success. Its acquisition would be a
most important commercial and political
event. Its influence upon the Agricultural
interests of the West would be incalculable,
and should it be achieved by the present
Administration il would atone for its past
blunders and errors in the Administration
of the Government. The latest Geographic
dispatches say that there is good reason to
believe, from recently received information,
that our government is now in a fair way to
acquire the Island of Cuba The informa-
ton is derived from an unquestionable
source

James N. Ray, Cashier of the old State
Bank of Indiana, gives notice that on the
first day of January next the charter and
corporate powers of the old State Bank win
cease, and no provision for the redemption
of the notes of the bank, that may be then
outstanding, has been made. Persons hold
ing the notes after the expiration of the
charter, may be subject to the entire loss Of
the amount. Holders are therefore request
ed to present the notes now in circulation
TO the Branches that issue them, at once for
redemption.

German Mass Meeting at Apollo Hall,
at o'clock Saturday Evening, July
24th.
Germansi the Lecomptonites have gone
through most admirable farce; at the first
ballot unanimously, they, either as cut and
dried by previous arrangement, or in Pur-
suance Of higher decree-nominated their
candidate for Congress.
Come forward, German fellow citizens,
and condemn this humbug! The name of
their candidate is W. E. Niblack, the man
who in his humble way attempted to crowd
the abominable Lecompton Constitution
upon the people of Kansas.
Come forward and let the world know
that you do not support traitors to freedom
and the rights of the people. go
Come forward, all of you, that are sup
porters of the eternal principles of the peo-
pies sovereignty; who do not sanction po-
litical dishonesty and rascality, but hold
that honesty and straightforwardness are the
only true and reliable foundations of all
politics!
Let Us be jealous of our honest name, and
make it apparent that we, Germans, are not
the voting cattle of the official wire-work-
ers, but will always independently follow that
path which we consider the right one. Let
US throw our full weight into the scales and
speak word, the sound of which shall fall
upon the affrighted tribe of political hux-
tiers and wire-pullers, like the notes of GA
briefs trump on the morning of the res
direction.
Messrs. Schmuck, Bishop and Others, will
address the meeting.

A London correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, who is an Englishnlan, gives an
alarming account of the condition Of affairs
in British India. English dominion is in
as great danger actually now, as it was be-
fore her late victories over the rebels. Her
use of her triumphs may make them more
fatal to her supremacy than defeats. While
the people of Great Britain claim to be the
most civilized and benevolent people on
earth, the champions of the cause of human
ity throughout the world, their government
is guilty Of crimes and practices that shock
the moral sensibility of every Christian
country. Her people preach crusade
against their fellow Christians for the cruel
ty and barbarism of retaining negroes in
slavery, while their own government is ex-
terminating by a relentless sword hundreds
of thousands-perhaps millions-of hap
less and feeble race, only to satiate its thirst
for dominion. The nation that cannot en-
dure the sight of a horse whip laid upon
the back ola negro, can behold whole cities
sacked by IFS soldiers, aud helpless women
and children butchered without quarter
British humanity and benevolence is the
basest counterfeit that ever found currency
in the world. II is a sham that makes its
name a by-word. The following is an ex-
tract from the letter.
India still continues disturbed and he
tween drinking, fever, and cholera, ourarmy
meltS away. Our brayest have fallen and
still one hundred victories have gained us
no sure foothold over the alien race. The
Sepoy enemy nowhere presents a firmfront,
but harnesses Us by a guerrilla warfare, and
by an obstinate resistance in struggling for
tresses. Our own conduct is not dcicnsible.
The permitted conduct of our army would
stampus with eternal disgrace ii we were
| dealing with any civilized power. Our
British troops give noquarter-every action
is followed by an indiscriminate slaughter
of hundreds and thousands-thc route of
our army is indicated by blackened corpscs,
| the prey of the hideous vulture and the jack
al, and ruined villages soaked in blood.
| Our allies the savage Ghoorkes and Sikhs
are totally unrestrained-they spare neither
age nor sex, and welding naked swords,
they rush upon the plumber with demoniac
cries. The sack of Lucknow, and the hor-
rors after the assault, were too horrible even
| for the pen of the Tines correspondent to
describe, which hesitated not at the carnage
Of Sebastopol. Our mode of conducting
Eastern war appears not to have improved
with the advance Of the 10Th century.
| Lucknow saw two hundred thousand armed
men destroy her ancient palaces, aud hold
their hideous orgies in her sacred temples.
From henceforth our rule IN India must
be the rigid one of the sword. Already we
have one hundred thousand men in arms on
the continent-the bone and sinew of our
population drained away, and still the In-
dian authorities cry "give, give

dents levee, and met with n company

male seminary; a college, and ten churches,
