GENERAL ORDERS No. 3.
As the reports OF Inspectors are evidence
that the sube Of bayonet exercise and target prsc
tice for small has been almost entirely neglected
by the troops, especially the bayonet exercise, the
General in-Ciief calls the attention of all officers
concerned to the subject and directs that hereafter
the troops be regularly and systematically instructed
in the full use OF the several weapons placed in their
hands.
Inspectors. General, az general rule, viii report
particularly the merits and defects of the several
articles Of new invention contrvance in use,
which may hereafter be introduced in any of the de-
parments soeh equipments, &C., and, in their
respective reports, beside giving their own opinion,
they will also set forth as far as possible, what they
may understand to be the judgment of the service,
discriminating between the principle and the mere con-
struction Of the article in order that the merits in the
former may not be Justly sacrificed because of de-
fects which can be remedied in the latter.
Inspectors General will, moreover, be careful to
obtain from the chiefs Of the several staff departments
a list Of all such articles.

down Tenth street in a railroad car, when a.

himself particularly agreeable. At Market

the twain had several drinks together du-

the latter asked the other If he had any

not but that be had friend near by where
he could procure a. prime article. The
obliging youth disappeared, and in short
time he returned with q plug of tobacco,
which he declared was the " real Virginia
twist" and which he showed into the inside
pocket of his rustic friend, and at the same
time he extracted his pocket book, which
contained seventy-five dollars. The nice
young man put off with the prize, pursued
by the Bucks county man. The thief was
toosactive for his pursuer, and he escaped

FRIGHTFUL AcoIpENT.--On Friday morn
ing a freight train on the Indiana Central
Railway, met with an accident near Cam
bridge city. Some workmen were engaged
in repairing the bridge over the west fork
of the White river, and neglected giving the
advancing train warning in time to prevent
it making the fatal plunge through the
bridge into the river. The engineer and
fireman discovering the danger, jumped
from the locomotive, and escaped without
injury. The engine and thirteen cars were
precipitated into the river, and three men
the conductor, named A. ]. Smith, a brakes
man, named Green, and drover named

were loaded with hogs, which were all pre-
maturely slaughtered. This is one of the
worst accidents that has happened to any of
the roads in our State.

BE- " Occasional writes that the effect
of the Brown invasion of Virginia, will be
disagreeable at the next session of Congress.
He says:
AZ 1t consolidates the South in support of
the most extreme and violent counsels. 1t
furnishes an excuse for the most stringent
laws against the slaves, and the most ener-
getic legislation against the free colored
population. 1t widens the breach between
the two sections of the Union and last,
not least, it has, I fear, prepared the Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress for a
most acrimonious and dangerous session.
Unfortunately, too, just at this period the
conduct of the Administration on the Ter
ritorial question will come in issue before
the National Legislature Comparisons will
be drawn and efforts will be made to fix the
responsibility of the late tragedy upon those
who will resist them with corresponding
animation"

A Scane MT n Fair

The Howard Tribune gives the following
account of runaway which occurred in a
ladies' riding match at the Fair of that coun-
ty the other day:
Presently one of the horses became obsti-
nate, and his rider became "spunky." She
used the whip freely and fearlessly, the
horse grew mad and desperate, when there
occurred terrific scene. The enraged horse
q large bay, took the bit and ran at furi-
Gus speed. The crowd became wild, and
cries that would deafen an inhabitant of
Pandsmonium, went up from hundreds of
frightened mortals. The screams, yelIs and
shouts frightened gay looking gray horse,
ridden by one of the ladies, and he went off
as furiously as the bay. After round or
two, the horses evidently got over their fright
and entered into contest for speed, but the
multitude were still frightened, and, as
usual, lost their wits and began to scream.
The horses went on, the bay still leading
Gray made terrible onslaught, and, just as
they passed our stand point, dashed gallant
~ into the lead.
Bay took courage, and ran like fright
ened gazelle, at the quarter pole, collared
the gray, and, before the round was made,
opened gap of full two lengths. Gray
did not again get the lead, although at one
time his nose was laying on the bays quar-
tiers. About this time daring fellow, who
holds tender relation to one of the riders,
rushed through the crowd into the circle,
and as they passed, going at lightning speed,
he caught the reiHs of the bride, and that
instant he was turning somersauits in the
air. He landed twenty-nine feet from the
place where he caught the horse. The lady
then, for the first time, became alarmed, and
as she turned about to look after her las
she supposedly lost F." lovyer," the saddle
turned, and down she came, head foremost,
towards the ground Notwithstanding the
screams that were heard before, we discov-
cred from the noise made at this moment
that the crowd had been filled with pent-
up feelings" But host of gallant fellows
blockaded the track with their bodies and
the bay was stopped, " in his wild career"
and the lady released from the stirrup b
which she was hanging.

A Change

Has been made in the proprietorship of
this Office by the withdrawal of F. Y. CAR
LILLE, and the sale and transfer of his inter-
est to JAMES H. McNEELY, of Indianapolis.
The change takes place this day, as will be
seen by the public notifications in another
column Of this paper.
The new firm intend to devote their best
energies to the task of rendering the estab-
lishment entirely worthy the reputation of
this growing and prosperous city. We con-
template some improvements in the mate
rial and arrangements of the Office, and,
when these are made, think that We will be
able to show one of the best regulated and
most complete printing offices in the country.
The Journal shall be, under our manage
ment en.phatically home paper, devoted
to the interests of Evansville and the sur
rounding country. 1t is highly important
that our unrivalled advantages be fairly
represented to the world, in order that they
may be known and appreciated. Hitherto,
this region of country has not received that
share of public attention that it has merited.
Hereafter, it shall not be our fault if
its advantages are hidden from the public
knowledge or kept in the background.
We solicit continuance of the liberal
patronage the Office has heretofore enjoyed,
and shall endeavor to deserve the entire con-
fidence of the community, by the manner
in which it is conducted. The friends of the
establishment are invited to come forward
and assist US with their job printing, their
advertising, their subscriptions and any
valuable information they can give the pub
lie through our columns.
