Morals of the Rresa.

The New York Mercury contains the fol-
lowing pointed remarks on this subject,
which are well worthy of perusal:
Fact is said to be stranger than fiction )"
but that is not the only quality 1t possesses
in greater power than its imaginative twin.
1t is also more viftuous-at least, so it would
seem, from the tenor of the daily press. The
morning papers, that stand on. unexception-
ably lofty moral platforms-that afe-h orri.
fed by the least deviation from the purest
thought-that are received into the bosoms
of our families to be perused by our faithfal
wives and our innocent daughters these
sanity messengers of news and politics an-
blushingly publish, in conspicuous columns
headed with startling announcements, in
alarming type, the most outrageous and
shameful occurrences, and see not a particle
OF harm therein. To be sure, they pretend
to be newspapers, and 10 gire all the news
but is that any apology for publishing things
that no decent person can read aloud? taa

THE CUMBERLAND AEhAh
ERAL ASSEMBLY. 81 trs
We remind our citizens of the tact that the Con-
eral Assembly of the Cumberland Presbyter
Church win meet in this city on the 10th day of
May next. This is the highest judcature known in
that church. 1t is made up of one Minister and
Elder from each Presbytery. Prssbyteries hav-
ing II more ordained ministers are entitled to
four delegates There are about ninety Presbyte-
ries in the church. These are scattered over the
Middle, Southern. and Western States and the
Territories. Besides those who will attend dele
gates, almost as many more will come from the
rious parts of the Union visitors. A large con-
course of people from the North, South, East and
West, will thus be brought together in our city
The impression made upon the minds of those while
here, will be carried with them to their homes,
and, if good will he the of good to our city.
Let us, If possible, show to our friends who will
visit at the time and for the purpose specified,
that the citizens of Evansville came honestly by
the name which they already have abroad, of being
Intelligent, industrious and, hospitable people,
We trust every family in the city, who can eon-
veniently do 80, will throw open their doors and
extend their inequalities to the members of the
General Assembly. Let those who feel prepared
and disposed to take company, report to Rev. Mr..
Burrow, who will have the superintendent of the
matter. IT,

On the recent up trip of the John Raine,
number of the most adroit and bold rob-
berries ever committed were effected on pass
engers on that steamer. During the first
night out, no less than thirty-one passengers
were robbed of all the money and valuables
they possessed. Among Others some coal
boat crews, on their return up the river,
were relieved of all their spare change. At
ter a careful search and investigation, one
fellow refused to submit to the test, and ac-
tually jumped overheard and swan to tho
shore. He was caught, however, and a
large amount of the stolen treasure recover

PEELED to run the gauntlet, have his head
shaved, and to be stripped of all his cloth
ing except his pants. These operations were
summarily performed, and be was most ter
ribly whipped, and chased from the stern to

way, going up the river. $1,000 p
The fellow, rendered desperate by the un-
merciful whippings he was receiving, or
wholly reckless of his fate, again jumped

the bank, and then he deiantly waved the
stolen hat at the boat

considerable interest was manifested in the
evening as to the result.

A difficulty occurred at the Lamasco Poll,
in which a German by the name of Schhei-

eral shots were fired, and Mr.. Hutcheson, in
attempting to- snatch the pistol away from
man who was firing it in the crowd, had
his hand badly burned. The parties impli-
Gated in the fracas were lodged in Jail.
nat the time our forms were closed it was
impossible to tell who was elected the con-
test for Mayor, City Collector aud Clerk,
and School Trustee, was close. IT,. f
As far as heard from, the following Coun
'cilmen were elected: Messrs. Cook, in the
