HousE OF REFUGE FOR THE STATE.-The
indianapolis Sentinel says that the State Off
Gers who were authorized by the law for
that purpose, consisting of the Governor,
Treasurer of State, and Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, have purchased one hun
dred acres of land of General Drake, upon
which to erect House of Refuge. The land
lays on the Rockville road, just four miles
from the city limits, and is well adapted
for the purpose. 1t is high ground, undu-
lating, and, with the exception of ten acres,
is covered with valuable timber, and has
two living springs of water upon it. The
price to be paid is $40 per acre, when the
title is perfected, and the contract is TO be
consummated on the lst of April next
The location is regarded as an excellent one
by those acquainted with the property, and
the price is very low, which is the limit
fixed by law. The next Legislature will
undoubtedly make an appropriation for the
erection Of suitable buildings for an institu-
ton much needed for Juvenile offenders, and
which will, when built, relieve the peni'
Tertiary of this class of conyicts.

EMIGRATION OFNEGRoEs FROM LOUISIANA.
A Letter from New Orleans says the emf
grafton of the free colored people goes on,
on larger scale than ever. The schooner
Virginia Antoinetts has left for Terontonta,
a snail port in the State of Vera Cruz, Next
CO, with forty-three emigrants, all kindred.
These people were born and raised in the
Attakapas county, La, where they are held
in high estimation not only by their breth-
rem of color, but also by the white popula-
ton. Mr. Pintade, the head of this numer-
Gus family, until lately was engaged in COM
mercial pursuits, in which he was very sue
cessf1l. In appearance, these people look
more like sons of New England than persons
of mixed blood, and their daughters can sd-
vantageously bear comparison with our re-
nowned creole beauties.
On the goth instant, three hundred per-
sons of color take their departure for Hayti,
carrying with them large amount of prop
erty. Most of them are from the rural par
;shes, where they possessed land and slaves
Unprincipled demagogues, under the plea
Of saving the South, but mainly for extort
ing money from an inoffensive people, pre-

Mr.. EDITOR Through the columns Of
your paper, would like to disabuse the
minds Of the people OF Evansville with re-
gard TO an erroneous impression which has
been made upon them, by the misrepresen-
tations OF some person or persons TO rue un-
known. II has been currently reported, and
partially believed, that the steamer Silver
Star, the mail boat now plying between this
point and Paducah, has been in the habit
ever since she has been in the trade, of Civ
ing the preference to the latter city, with re-
gard TO the orders OF freight which sha has
received along the route. 1t has even been
said that orders, which were addressed to
some of the Merchants Of Evansville, were
carried to Paducah, contrary to the instruc-
tons Of the persons sending them.
Now, Mr.. Editor, have been running
constantly rs Clerk of the "Silver Star for
the last eight or nine months, and am pre-
pared 20 say upon oath, that the statements
aforesaid are utterly untrue; and further
more, | am prepared to say upon oath, if
necessary, that having the sole control Of
these orders, | have ever given Evansville
the entire preference, not only because be-
lievsd it to he for the interest OF the boat to
do ~, but also because am citizen of Ey-
ansville, and considered il my duty This
have always done with the entire concur
renee OF Capt. Fowler. Never, within my
knowledge or remembrance, has the Silver
Star carried an order to Paducah unless
specially instructed to do so. In coming up
or going down, where an order was re-
ceived, and the fulfillment left optionary
with the boat, in every instance has the or
der been brought to Evansville. Never, to
my knowledge, have the people along the
route been solicited by any of the Officers of
the Silver Star to give their patronage to
Psducah; and l will venture to say that
there on an average, not more than one
order taken to Psducah by the Silver Star
to every twenty brought by her to Evans
vile. If, as believe, there is any preiu-
dice existing against the Star among the
citizens Of Evansville on account of her be-
ing owned at Paducah, that prejudice is i'm.
proper and unjust, for she has labored as
faithfully to promote the interests OF this
city, and is as much in truth and reality An
Evansville boat as ths Charley Bowen or
any other Packet.
As 10 the difference existing between the
Silver Star and her adversary, the Charley
Bowen, have nothing TO say. am on the
best possible terms Of friendship with ail
the officers on the latter boat and expect to
continue so, don't wish to be considered
as taking pat liz the contest for the ascen-
dency going On between them, bat have sim
ply made this statement of facts a. "a act of
Justice 10 Capt, Fowler. Yours truly
A. NJ DUsOUCHET,
CPk of "Silver Star"

A strolling troupe of dramatic performers

he is not with the troupe which performs

DISCHARGE HiM.-The mail agent who
travels on the SoutheTner does not attend to
his business. He has passed our town sew
eral times without leaving a mail, when il
IS known that heavy mail:comes to Union
town. We cannot account for this direlic-
ton OF duty, otherwise than to say that the
agent practices extensively at the bar. and
needs too much spiritual consolation. A
man that will.lOt attend to his official du-
ties should be promptly discharged. If we
knew his nsnns, It would afford us pleasure
TO make it known UniOnt6lcn (RV.)
Ne1os.
The agent referred to in the above is q
Mr.. Rsnda1-no relative, we believe, OF Mr..
Randall, the artist, Of this city. He is from
an interior county in Kentucky, and was
door-keeper to the House of Representatives
in that State few years since. The insin-
uation of the Uniontown paper is most ma
licious, and calculated to do Mr.. r. serious
injury, especially among sober Democrats.
Mr. Randall ranks high with the Democra-
CT Of Kentucky, and tbs intimation that he
drinks more liquor than is essential to a
respectable standing in his party, il prepos-
ferrous, The same paper might, with as
much truth, charge Fsxon, the Cairo post
master, with needing too much spir;t,,aI

hiurderers Acquitted.

In July last an old lady and her son, =
youth named Marshal, who we're living
alone upon farm in New Haven, Gallatin
county, Illinois wers murdered at midnight,
by two villains, to obtain a small sum of
money, which they were supposed to pos
ssss. II was one of the most atrocious deeds
Ia the records Of crime for the year. The
perpetrators were arrested and confessed
their guilt. Tt cir trial took place at Shaw
nestown, on the 10th inst, and resulted in
their acluittal. The Court ruled out the
confessions made by the prisoners at New
Haven, at the time they were committed.
The jury were unanimously of the opin-
ion that the prisoners were guilty of the
murder as charged in the Indictment, and
three-fourths of the people who heard the
testimony were of the same way of thinking.
THERE'S not the least doubt but that the
jury would have brought in a verdict of
guilty, had it not been for the instructions
Of the Court.
The Mount Vernon Adoocnfe remarks up
on this case:
What strange inconsistency is here, and
how greatly do such circumstances dcbaso
and weaken public confidence in the instru-
mentality " ich thus proves so destructive
of its own ostensible end The law is de-
nominated the vehicle of justice, yet how
oft is it made an agent through which JUS

while for ordinary usage IL surpasses in practical
utility the highest priced machines the cost of it
