"THR Tue OF WAR. The true position
of Douglas and his followers on the question
of popular sovereignty is about to be tested.
The telegraph brings tidings that Governor
Medary has vetoed the bill abolishing
slavery in the Territory of Kansas, and that
the Legislature has again taken the bill up,
and will probably pass it over his veto.
We want to see what the Enquirer has to
say to this question when it is presented
fairly to the people. 1t can't say, rs it did
of the Nebraska case that the law was got
ten up by the Republicans to bother the Dem
ocracy, for in Kansas slavery is a reality
and it is in Nebraska, too, but the Enquirer
will not admit it. -.s -..5.s -. .s,-s-a-l-

ed from the goats-the true popular soTe-
reignty men from the Slave-coders and Dred

Fl. SCARLET FEvER.-S Scarlet Fever, the " Red
Demon of the Nursery" is unusually preva-
let in some places at the present time. The
following directions for the treatment of
this dread disease are going the rounds:
lst. When the child is taken with the
fever, give it a dose of castor oil if tho
body shows flesh color, have pot of SAT-
from tea made, and give it to the child to
drink. This will drive the eruption out.
I'd. Have warm baths for the feet, keep
it warm, and the room under proper tenn
perature. teael slt.- 's
Sd. When the eruption is out, grease the
whole body with bacon fat, and keep the
body open. Then call for the doctor if the
throat should get sore.

THE MONTGOMERY GUARDS, of Crawfords-
vile, have two sets of uniform-the Ordin-
airy military costume, and the ZouaVe dress.
This consists of red fez cap, loose red
breeches gathered at the knees, and grey
jacket and leggins. Their Zouave drill is
as odd as the costume.
S On their visit to Indianapolis on the 22d,
they went through their drill. Their rum
ming step and nanouvers performed at run )
their charges, changes of position, charging
with the bayenet in front and rear, without
moving out of their steps, were very hand
somely performed and excited universal ap-
plause The Zouaves were the "obseryed
of all observers"
We presume this dril will hereafter form
part of the American military system II

BS The work will be commenced on this
end of the Henderson and Nashville railroad
in few weeks. Mr.. Chlore has the con-
tract for Saving the cross-ties, and an agent
has gone on to contract for the iron to lay
a number of miles. The road, we believe,
is now q fixed fact, and ere many months
the woods of Henderson county viii rever-
berate the. echo of the snort of the iron
horse. Then will the people of this section
begin to realize the. pressing necessity of
this road. Let the contractors lay mile or
Two of the track, and put locomotive and
car on it, aud, our word for it, the road will
be built. If this course had been pursued
years ago, the cars would now be running
to Nashville, and the boundless resources of
the. rich. country all along the line, would
have been brought to light. saslE ~ ,s-l
But the prospect of the read is now better
than ever before. Let US forget past bad
management and consequent failure, and
lend the great enterprise our united efforts
to insure its, success and completion. Let
the people of Henderson and Hopkins coun-
ties be convinced of the great results to fol
low, and we feel assured the road Will go

THE STATE Board or AGRIcULrURE was-
in session at Indianapolis last week.
1t was ordered'th the aggregate amount
of premiums should be 81 700, to be divid-
ed among the several departments as fol-
lows: Stock, $1,000; Agricultural, So, 900;
Mechanical, $4,000; Miscellaneous, 81, 900.
The different departments were referred
to special committees to graduate the prem
iums. In the Instructions given by the
Board TO the committees, it was ordered that
there should be premiums offered on barley
and the best article of manufactured tobacco,
and an increased premium on plows for gem
eral purposes. A proposition to give a
premium on wine made from grapes grown
in Indiana was rejected by one vote. ~SsP
The Sentinel and Journal of Indianapolis
both complain of the preference that tobacco
had over native, wine. The former paper
rather sharply remarks:
This is narrow minded and iInpoIitic, un-
less the members who fought against the
juice OF the grape SO stoutly, and it would
seem successfully, are so devoted to the es-
sence of raw corn that they do not want
any rival to it.
The latter says: ~ 1-S. sz@->aN2 g 3 &
Tobacco is no more the product of Indi-
ana than are grapes and wine, and if there
was to be any discrimination We think it
should have been in favor of the latter. In
all the Ohio River counties from Lawrence
burg to Madison, and in some Of the central
counties, grapes are raised in large quan-
titles, and wine manufactured and sold to
the extent of many hundreds of gallons
Good wine is better Temperance agent than
tobacco, and If the State Board voted wine
down from motives of temperance, they cer-
tainly made mistake. If the Board did
notlwish to encourage an evil, they should
not have voted for tobacco and against pure
! wine. The former is certainly the greater
evil of the two.
The journal might have included the
Pocket as a portion of Indiana in which the
vine is extensively cultivated. aa,--
The raising of tobacco is a great interest
down here, and superior article ought to
be encouraged by premium. People will
use it, and ought to have the best article
that can be gotten up. sse
The Board had under consideration vari-
ons propositions for grounds suitable to hold
the Fair upon. ~ ...,.. ~

Coal FOR STEANBoATs.-Coal is abundant
all along the river route, and steamboatmen
now use it almost exclusively in theirfnrna-
ces instead of wood, as heretofore. Now
that it is getting into such general use, we
bear many of the boatmen complain that
their coal bills are steadily increasing, that
they burn too much coal. This, in many
instances of late, has caused several Cap
tains to investigate the cause, or causes.
The result is that in almost every instance,
and at nearly all the coal depots from New
Orleans to Louisville, the coal boxes were
far less than the required size, and instead
of two and a half bushels being in each box,
there was barely one bushel and half. Il
At Red river the measure WAS the short
est, but the dealer there sells by the box,
whether bushel and half, or. half a
bushel. This is rather very serious mat
ter to steamboat owners, and masters and
clerks should have an eye to the local
piles they buy. -. s,.,.s. ass.... .s... 3.
The lawful weight of bushel of coal is
so pounds, but the standard weight gener-
ally adopted is "a pounds, we believe
Then box of 23 bushels should weigh $50
pounds at least, exclusive of the box. At
some points the boatmen pay for 100 bush
els of coal, and actually get only 80 bushels,
