gsS@ We continued, by an oversight, n
Religious notice which was furnished US for
last Thursdays issue, announcing particu-
lar subject for that evening and of course
not intended for standing notice. 1t may
be well enough to remark, however, that
Mr.. Smith is still keeping up his meetings
at the Franklin Engine Hall, on Locust
street, near the Depot. There will be
preaching there every evening this week,
and such as have attended during the past
week, have expressed themselves repaid
in the interesting religious instruction they
have received. Elder Smiths Iabors here
are a missionary effort of the church to
which he belongs, to build up the cause of
primitive Christianity in our midst; and as
the seats are free, and full investigation of
his teaching is invited, there should be a
full attendance. "Prove all things hold
fast that which is good.

d" BILLY PATTERSON again appears in the
Enquirer with his rage against d" Pro Bono "
much increased. He is profuse in applying
harsh epithets 10 our correspondent, and
even goes so far as to hint that the latter is
a resident of Evansville, and no Democrat.
And. Furthermore, that he probably is more
than mere correspondent of this paper.
We can assure the redoubtable 4" Billy
that he is on the wrong scent, though we
DO not intend to pat him on the right one.
So far as we are concerned, we do not
care tchn who I" Billy" is, nor whether he
believes what our correspondent says. We

that he could not have gotten anywhere

office, &C., and it was agreed to-ayes 80,
navs IA.
The naval appropriation bill was consid-
cred and large number of amendments
added.
NJ. Wilson offered an amendment to use
part of the appropriation for the purchase of
three steamers to act in the suppression of
the slave trade on the coast of Africa.
Nr. Gwin offered a substitute that the
President be authorized to ask the British
Government to enter into a convention to
make provisions for the return of each cap
tured African, SO long as the 8th article of
the Ashburton treaty remains in force, and
If the British Government refuses to enter
into any such convention, then the Presi-
dent shall signify the wish of this Govern
ment to have that treaty abrogated. He
said the British Government did not send
back the Africans, but kept them, and made
them useful.
Mr.. Wilson said the slave trade was in
creasing- 1t was fact that vessels were
fitted out at New York, and left that port
with the knowledge of the United States
officers, who received money for the same.
He thought it his duty to try and put stop
to it.
Mr.. Green thought the Government had
no right to put police force on the coast
of Africa. 1t had no right to interfere with
the slave trade between Africa and Brazil
end Cuba, but only to prevent their impor-
tation to our own shores We might well
call on the British Government to end this
treaty.
Mr.. Hemphill opposed the amendment of
the Senator from California. He thought
there was no information here that the Brit
ish Government made slaves of the captur-
ed slaves.
Mr.. Fessenden said that if gentlemen
wished to abrogate this treaty let them say
so, and not try to dodge the question in any
way.
Mr.. Mason said that the question of the
African slave trade was presenting itself in
in a new light. He could not account for
the increasing activity in the slave trade.
Legislation might possibly act to increase
the trade and he thought we should be very
careful. He trusted that at the proper time the
American Government would abrogate that
article of the treaty, but was opposed to
both Of these propositions He could not
conceive of greater cruelty than sending
these Africans back to Africa
Mr.. Gwin'S amendment was disagreed to.
On motion Of Mr.. Green, the Senate ad-
iourned till Monday at IL o'clock.

EE2s- The O'Neil House at New Harmony
is a very pleasant place TO spend some OF
the hottest days of summer. New Har-
mory is one of the most quiet and beauti-

inviting retreat and the O'Neal House, the
best of hotels at which to put up.

THEATER.-On Saturday evening the
Theater Company gave their last perform
ance for the present. The Robbers and
"Jack Sheppard were represented to good
house. We hesitate not to say that it is very
rare that these pieces are excelled even in
the larger cities.
The Company proceed from here to
New Harmony Cinstead of New Albany, as
we enormously had it on Saturday,, where
they will perform for a few nights in the
handsome theater building fitted up by that
drama-loving people.

PHILADELPHIA, June l6th-The Japan
ese left their hotel at 81 for the wharf in
excellent humor. On their arrival at the
wharf they were greeted by an immense
crowd gathered to take a farewell look
The steamer was gaily decorated with
streamers, and the shipping put on its holi-
day suit. All Camden turned out to see the
strangers, and it was with difficulty they
were able to reach the Park A special
train left at 10 clock for Amboy. At
every station on the road a crowd assembled
to welcome them.

Bas" Capt. Thornburg, who has inst re-
turned from visit to Kentucky, states that
crops IN that State all promise an abundant
harvest, with the exception of wheat In
Northern lndiaaa and in Michigan. it is
stated that wheat looks most promising.
We think from the information we have been
able to gather, that in this (Putnam) coun-
ty, there will at least be about an average
crop. Corn never promised better Green

Don't BE STINGY.-The Committees ap-
pointed by the Mechanics Union Meeting to
raise collections for the purpose of defraying
the expenses of the celebration of the Fourth
of July, have commenced their laborg, and
are now waiting upon our business men to
receive their contributions, some of whom,
we are pleased to learn, have responded lib-
orally and heartily to the call, while others,
we are ashamed to say, among our most
prominent citizens, have given them moth
ing but the cold shoulder AT this we are
surprised as well as sorry, Tor we had sup
posed that there were none among us but
what cherished sufficient patriotism to heart
lily desire to see the birthday of our ma
tional liberties properly commemorated, and
were willing to do their part toward the
accomplishment of that result.
But setting aside all sentiment our busi-
ness men who consider what magnificent
advertisement for the city and its business
the celebration will be if properly carried
out in the manner proposed, cannot fail to
see that they are working for their own in
terest, by yielding this movement a cordial
aud generous support. We hope no more
of our citizens will lay themselves open to
the imputation of penuriousnass, and that
those who may already have done so will
| reconsider their action, and redeem their
reputation for liberality.
Let US endeavor to entertain the thousands
of visitors who we may reasonably expect
will be with us on that day, in such man

NEW YORK, June l6th.-The steamer
Vanderbilt sailed this evening for Southamp-
ton and Havre, with 400 passengers and
81, 100000 in specie.
Joseph Blunt, the well-known lawyer,
died this morning aged G5.
The japanese Embassy arrived at Amboy
at 1890, where they were received by the
New York committee, who were waiting
on board the steamer AAda, which left very
soon afterwards for this city, arriving at the
Battery at 2:4C No unpleasant incident
occurred throughout the journey from Phil
adelphia. The arrival of the -Atda at the
Battery was greeted with the shouts of an
immense concourSe of people, and saluted
from the forts and military on the shore.
AT 3;l5 the procession moved from the
battery, passing up Broadway through a
crowd estimated to number from 200, 900 to
10000 people. The japanese, accompa-
MED by the New York and Philadelphia
committees, rCde in open barouches, and
were escorted by a division of Military COM
prsing all of our most efficient regiments,
and numbering upwards of 5000 men.
At 4:15, the whole line had passed the
head of Wall street. All the windows and
roofs from the battery to Union Square, and
throughout the other streets through which
the procession passed, were crowded with
spectators, who greeted the Embassy with
cheers and waving handkerchiefs. No ac-
cident or disturbance has thus far occurred

The Real Criminal.

Some writer in the Enquirer, whose et-
fort is published as editorial--wh ether
written by one of the old editors, or by the
new one, we can't say-draws a long bill f
Indictment against the Republican party in
the issue OF Saturday.
The article we allude to is so absurdly and
shamefully false that no person but some
hardened political sinner will believe it. On
this class denial would be thrown away =
For these reasons, and because the party
with which we act have no need to fight on
the defensive, we deem it a waste of time
and space to notice further those para
graphs, which reek with manifest falsehood
and injustice.
The Republicans and their allies are not
the culprits in this grand inquest of the
people. The Democratic party, which has
so shamefully abused the public confidence
and com united the most heinous crimes, is
the criminal. The great Opposition party
is the prosecutor, and instead of making
accusations against others, the Democratic
party will have enough to attend to in de-
Tending themselves against the fearful
charges urged against them.
