HEAVY EMIGEAT1 IN TO MINNESOTA.
The Northern Line Packet Canada,
which arrived to-day from ST. Louis,
brought up near four hundred passen
gers for this port and points above
Much the larger portion of these APP
peared to be of the immigrant farming
class, and they brought with them their
wives, their little ones, and all their
worldly effects, as if they meant to make
Minnesota their permanent abiding
place.
No such immigration as this has taken
place before since 1867. And it is
now frequent occurrence to see the
packets densely crowded with passen-
gers, destined for various localities in
Minnesota. The superior natural advan-
tases of our State, it would seem, are
becoming fully appreciated abroad, the
natural result of which is that its settle
ment will receive new impetus. Let
the croakers growl - Win5na Repu6H-

FRANKLIN AVENUE BRIDGE-This new
viaduct, which connects the western suburbs
with the city, spanning Pigeon Creek at the
foot of the street from which it takes its
name, is now nearly finished. Messrs. White
| & Taylor, the contractors for the construction
of the superstructure, completed their part
of the work on Saturday, and it now only
remains for the embankments at each end
to be finished, when it will be ready for use.
The bridge is one of the handsomest struc-
lures of the kind we have ever seen. embrace
ing clear span of $50 feet, the ends resting
upon two solid stone abutments of such
hight that the floor of the bridge is so feet
above the bed of the stream The floor is
perfectly level, and so firm that in running
heavily along it "a severe test), scarcely. a
perceptible tremor is felt The work has
been done in a very substantial and work
manlike manner, and reflects great credit
on the mechanical skill and ability of the
builders. Some doubt has been expressed
that the abutments are sufficiently substan-
tial, but as they have already stood the test
of two years time, and been subjected to the
pressure of several floods, and now appear
without crack and perfectly sound, they
are doubtless capable of outlasting the tim
bers of several bridges. The masonwork is
certainly very gsod looking job, and we
see no reason why it should not prove as
substantial as it appears. The bridge will
be completed at cost of about $4,000
which considering the merits of the structure
and the Importance of the thoroughfare, is
not an extravagant expenditure

EaBilly Baker raised straight and
symmetrical pole, l25 feet high, Saturday
night, at his fathers residence at the head
OF First street. Everything was gotten read Y
and the pole went up without a balk. The
American flag was hoisted to the top where
1t waves in the breeze in honor Of Lincoln
and Hamlin.
After the raising, two or three songs
were sung, and speeches were made by
Blythe Hyues and Judge Baker. Over 100
persons were there, amongst them quite a
number Of ladies, and there was much en-
thusiaSm.
At the close Of the proceedings, three
cheers were given for the Crescent CITY
Nursery hands, who assisted in buying and
raising the pole. In the neighborhood of
forty cheers were given promiscuously for n
number Of worthy objects. The boys felt
good, and eheered dd h6ttuu

The Sonthern CaInmitr

Accounts come up from the South, in re
gard to the drought and its destructive effect
on the growing crops, which are truly de-
plorable. The drought is terrible in various
portions of the Southern States, and it viii!
be impossible there to raise enough food for
the people Of that section. They must i'm
port from the Northwest, and how the poor
er classes are to pay is the question. 1t
seems probable that the North and Vest win
be called on to give to those who cannot
buy. The charitable ought to be prepared
to open their purses in aid of their brethren
OF the South If it comes to this, it will
be found that the Republicans, who are so
much denounced and despised in the South,
will be the first to step forward and gener-
ously give of their substance for the relief of
their fellow creatures.
Although we are now in the midst of
serious drought in this portion of Indiana,
if Providence graciously vouchsafes US an
adequate yield of corn our main depend
ence-to enable US to do so, our people will
cheerfullY give for the above named OBJ
JeCt' w HiIc lI6 1GepUOlicdnS amongst us,
in selfdetense, are compelled to resist the
encroachments of Slavery by all Constitu-
tional means, they have a warm regard for
their Southern brethren and their interests.
They would cheerfully share with them in
need their last dollar. or spill the last drop
of their blood in defense of their Just rights
This is the spirit which pervades the Re
publicans, who receive so many unjust epi-
lhets and insults from the South without
retaliation.
In illustration Of the extent of the ca
lamity which is about to fall on the South
from the effects of the drought we are told
by one of our merchants who has Just re-
turned from the East, that he saw and
heard of Southern merchants who had gone
to New York and other Eastern cities to
purchase their usual stocks of merchandise
but after their arrival at the marts of supply
they received such discouraginE advices
from home in regard to the gloomy pros
poets ahead, that they returned without pur-
chasing. This betokens a very serious state
of circumstances

H2-JUDGE MORTON, candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, it will be seen in this pa
per, has made a list of appointments for the
l4th, 5th and 18th of September at New
burgh, Boonville, Lamasco, Mt. Vernon, and
West Franklin. We hope our friends will
exert themselves in giving good notice of
these meetings and getting Judge n. large
audiences
Judge Morton will give his hearers as
solid and instructive discourses as they
have heard or viii hear during the cam
paign. His is one of the most logical and
analytical minds in the State. He saws all
that can be said on a subject. He is a Ma
tional conservative man, with no ultra prin-
cipleS of action.
Many of our readers will remember his
mastery speeches in 1856. He made a
splendid race then for Governor, and was
only beaten by the grossest frauds. illegal
votes only had been counted then, o. P.
Morton would have been declared Governor
of Indiana instead of Ashbel P. Willard
Let US, in the Pocket" do our share to-
ward giving our State ticket such vote as
will place II. 5. Lane, .. P. Morton, and
the others on it, in the stations for which
they have been nominated, beyond all dan
ger from fraudulent votes or anv other sucb
means Of defeating the will of the people

EVANSVILLE, IND. MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 3 1860.

OUR DAILY.-The pressure on our col
umns is very strong. The old journal was
! never so crowded with matter We cannot
publish oue-fourth of that which demands
notice. Dead advertisements are prompt
ly taken cut, large amount of reading
matter is crowded in, yet much IS rejected
every day that we would fain insert if We
could.
We are in the midst of an exciting con-
test and must give place to the many sub
jects of moment that are constantly press
ing themselves ON Us. We shall therefore
have to make, in some way, more room for
reading matter, and henceforward, until after
the campaign closes, we will endeavor to in
crease its amount.
Our advertising patrons need not fear,
however, of being crowded out. Let them
bring in their favors, and room shall be
made for them. If necessary We can enlarge
our Daily, though we wish to delay that
movement as long as possible, for when we
do enlarge our sheet, the price of it will have
to be increased. We wish to defer this as
long as we can.
The Journal, like the enterprising young
city that sustains it, has never yet Jagged
behind in the march of progress. With a
return of "good times (if they ever
Gomez we expect nothing else but press of
advertisements from our wide awake busi-
ness men that viii compel US to enlarge the
dimensions of the Daily. Well, all we have
to say is, bring on your favors when you get
ready, and the Journal will extend itself
enough to give them a place.

BEg-It will be seen by ga Card" in an.
other place, that our old veteran merchant,
NJ. W. Foster, is about retiring from active
commercial pursuits. He has accumulated,
by long years of toll and close attention to
business, competency to support him in his
old age. Long may he live to enjoy it
He has well earned it.
A notice of " Dssolu ton of Copartner-
ship announces that the firm of n. W.
Foster Co, and Geo. Foster & Co., are
dissolved by the withdrawal of NJ w Fos-
ter, and in the same connection, a "Copart-
nership' notice Informs the public that a
new firm, under the name and style of
George Foster & Co, is formed, composed
of George Foster, Alex. Fl. Foster, and
VIM. A. Gwyn, who will carry on the
Wholesale Grocery and Commission and
Forwarding business in The old stand, cor
ner of Locust street and the Canal
The gentlemen composing the new firm
are we'll known as persons of industry, en-
ergy and pro5ity. The old house will not
suffer in reputation under their auspices.

The Mozart Hall NIeeting-It IN

The Goker organ OF Saturday morning
goes into conRption fits " over the affair
Of Friday night at Mozart Half. The organ
raves aud rants and froths at the mouth, on
account of the terrible indignity offered to
Sheriff Gsvitt, Jim Shanklin, and a squad ot
other Douglas men, who intruded at Re-
publican meeting, for the purpose CT kicking
up fuss, aud clearing away some of the
censure which rests on their party in conse-
quence Of Judge Laws continued failure 10
meet Judge DeBruler in debate. The organ
prouounces nearly all the anathemas on the
pesky Lincolnites that are contained in the
Major ExcommuaicatioH OF the Pope. And
all this fuming and iussing is performed be-
cause the Republicans saw proper not TO be
disturbed at their own meeting.
The Enqutrer's pet-Smith Gavitt-made
himself very officious few nights ago-at
Gov. Willard meeting at the Market House
in rnagnifying every word spoken by
Republican in ordinary conversation into an
interruption of the meeting. lie was very
sensitive to the slightest Republican whis-
per then, yet lie went to Judge DeBruIers
meeting with n crowd of his special retain
ers, and Interrupted the meeting while in pro-
gress tried to force Mr.. Shanklin on the
audience when he and his friends had been
notified that no irresponsible speaker should
answer Judge Deb. if Judge Law would not
meet him; ; and as we are informed called
for three groans for Lincoln and cheered vo-
ciferously for Douglas and others right
there in Lincoln meeting. The cheering
the Enquirer Acknowledges and boasts Of
If the Douglas men had had enough
regard for courtesy as to allow the Lincoln
men to finish their singing without inter
ruption, and then had refrained from their
disorderly conduct until the President reg
ularly dismissed the meeting, as he tried to
do, there would have been no objection to |
Mr.. Shanklin's speech. The Republican |
meeting would have been closed, and he
might have talked all night, if he had seen
proper, by making the necessary arrange
ments with the proprietor of the Hall. But |
6le Douglas men, led on by our Sheriff, who |
IS popularity supposed to be a cOnservator of /
the peace instead of disturber thereof, in .
most warrantable manner interrupted |
our meeting before it was closed, and broke
it up in confusion.
The men who had the impudencc to thus
disturb a public meeting, now have the au-
dacity to attempt to throw blame on the
Republicans for defending their rights and
privileges against wilful and malicious at
tack

OAK HILL CEMETERY AyRSUB.-It is well
known that movement has been in pro-
gress for year or two, TO open broad,
straight road to Oak Hill Cemetery, run
ming out from Chestnut street; road that
would accommodate a large portion Of the
city much better than the present crooked
one running out from Main street; road
that would avoid the Railway track which
the other one crosses a road that could
much more easily be kept in good order
than the present one; a road, finally, which
would be a credit to the city, aud comport in
appearance and comfort with the beautiful
Metropolis, which the enterprise of Evans
willie has provided for her g loved aud lost"
The subject of opening this avenue will
be brought before the Board of County Com
missioners during their present term. 1t is
q subject which excites great deal of in
terest, both for and against the proposition,
and one in which every citizen is concerned.
We shall recur to the subject again more at
length.
