At meeting of the Board of Managers
of the Evansville Division of the Wabash
and Erie Canal, at Terre Haute, on
Saturday, March 26th, the following res
olotions were unanimously agreed to and
passed
Pesoloed, That in addition to the SIC, 900
needed Immediately to open navigation on
this division, a reserved fund, to be called in
as counted, is necessary to be raised.
Resolved That to insure the success of the
work under the new administration, and
place it beyond the contingency of failure,
the sum of thirty thousand dollars is re-
quired to be subscribed, which we will inn
mediately proceed to raise; the same to be
call only III such installments as the present
necessities and future contingencies of the
work shall dictate. -.
There will be a meeting of citizens called
at the Court House on Wednesday evening,
at which full exposition of the terms of
the contract with the Trustees will be made,
and the advantages of the arrangement ex-
planned. The committee of managers have
effected an important object for the public
and obtained most liberal terms. They
have proven themselves accomplished
diplomats, aud we are sure that the canal in
their hands is to be made successful and
valuable institution.

Geological Reconnaissance.

1t is with great pleasure that we make
the following correction. We hope when
call is made upon the Legislature for a
thorough Geological Survey, the gentlemen
referred to will give it a Jealous and efficient
support: mf@ e,sH#
The Evansville Journal does injustice TO
our Representatives to the last Legislature
by including them among the opponents of
the bill providing for a Geological recon
nosance of the State. Mr.. Carnahan
voted for Mr. Treadways bill, the one that
was passed Mr.. Nelson was absent when
the bill was put upon its passage in the
House, but had he have been present we are
assured that he would have voted for it
Mt. Vernon AdDocdte. d fL9E 9
1t is not very creditable to the intelligence
and public spirit of our Legislature TO de-
clare the fact, but 1t required some adrot
engineering to carry the bill appropriafing
five thousand dollars for the preliminary ea-
animation through both Houses; and ac-
complishing this most desirable object, no
one was more efficient than Mr.. Smith, of
Perry. The friends of the bill were not
disposed to trust the selection of Geologist
to the Governor and his political clique that
rule in the Executive councils; it was,
therefore, determined to relieve the measure
of all political Influences and entrust its
management to the State Board of Agrieul-
ture. Before this was done, it was ascer-
tanned who would be the choice of the Board
for conducting the examination. The State
now have the assurance that the work will
be under the supervision of our eminent fell
low-citizen, David Dale Owen if his en-
gagements already contracted, will permit
him to give his attention to ID. -iaf

We don't know that this is too much for
the arduous and responsible duties perform
ed. There is certainly imminent risk and
an anxious responsibility that ought. to be
paid for in receiving Indiana State Bank
notes and paying out Illinois and Wisconsin
currency, and in loaning to ones self and
using for ones own individual benefit the
loose and surplus money in the Treasury.
Of these eminent services and fearful haz-
ards sustained by these gentlemen of the
Board, who are now candidates for further
public trusts we hope the voters viii show
their appreciation by giving the men the
support they so richly deserve.
If there be any errors in our figures-ii
they paid themselves more, or not SO much
as they have charged themselves ON the
record-we shall be happy to correct the
error; and our columns are open to any ex-
PLANTATION the Trustees may wish to make to
those to whom they have rendered snch
profitable services.

The Transfer of the Canal.

The following note brings the welcome
intelligence of the transfer of the Canal to
managers for the citizens along its line, from
here to Newberry. The object for which
the public here have striven is happily ac-
compiished. if we do not now draw from
the canal all the advantages it is capable OF
yielding, the fault is our own. new era
of prosperity, we trust is to be secured to
this heretofore abused and neglected public
improvement Let all extend to it gener-
GUS helping hand, and see that the managers
are not cramped and discouraged by q mig
gardly short sighted policy in raising means
to repair it. Let this city, at least, set a
generous and public spirited example:
TERRE HAUTE, Saturday Night, /
March 26, 1859.
Ma. EDIToR-After long conference of
two sessions, the managers appointed by the
Evansville Convention have entered into a
contract with the Trustees of the Wabash s.
Erie Canal, by which the entire control of
the Evansville division of 90 miles is trans
ferred to the managers for four years, sub
iect to shorter term on conditions agreed
upon. The term to commence lst April
proximo. The officers under the Trust
have already received notice of the termina-
ton of their term of Office, and their sue
cessors are in some instances appointed
The arrangement is very satisfactory to the
managers, and win be to all the friends of
the work If the work is not now put and
kept in navigable order, it will be the fault
ofthose directly interested. 1t is now con-
fdently believed that the management will
have the confidence and sympathy of the
people along and at the end of the line, and
meet with liberal support from all inter
ested. Yours respectfully,
JOHN INGLE, JR.

TENNEssEE.-The Democracy of Tennes-
see have held their State Convention at
Nashville. They nominated the present
popular Governor, Isham G. Harris, for re-
election. The resolutions of the Convention
indorse the Administration of President Bu-
chanan, favor a strictly revenue tariff, a
strict construction of the Federal Constitu-
ton, advocate State currency reform, and
favor the acquisition of Cuba The slavery
resolution ignores the idea of Congressional
Intervention for slavery in the Territories,
and relies solely upon judicial protection to
those who feel aggrieved by the action of
any Territorial authority. The resolutions
declare that no special privilege should be
granted by the Legislature, without retain
ing the right in the charter to alter, abolish,
or modify it at pleasure Gin. Eng. =
