EVANSVILLE, IND. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY H. 1860.
A Trip to Central indiana.

We have just returned from trip to In
dianapolis. The spirits of the people are
very buoyant consequent upon the fne crop
prospects, The wheat is all harvested, and
though it stood rather thin on the ground, it
was very full-headed and full grained. The
oat harvest is just commencing, and will be
plentiful. Hay is first rate. The growing
corn looks beautiful all through the country.
Its color is healthy, and much of it is in
tassel. The cut-worm has done some dam
age Immediately about Indianapolis, but
there is no serious trouble.
The mast is plentiful. and if the hog
cholera does not get amongst the swine,
there will be nothing, so far as human fore
sight extends, to prevent good times next
winter and spring The cloud which has
overshadowed the West for the past three
years is beginning 10 pass of the. face of the
sun of prosperity, and tits to be hoped that
that luminary will shine upon us next year
with its brightest luster sa.s-.
Politics are up to fervent heat. The
Douglas men are making great preparations
for their State Ratification Meeting on the
18th inst. They expect a" considerable of
time" By the way, this meeting comes on
the day of the great eclipse Of the sun =
Ominous isn't it -?
Some of the Breekinridge and Lane lead
ers are in indianapolis, busily at work at
some very mysterious operations. 1t is re-
ported that an electoral ticket and State
ticket will be formed. and that Breckin-
ridge and Lane organ will be started at the
Capital. A number of Administration men
about Indianapolis cant be coaxed, hatter-
ed, bribed, nor frightened into the support
of Douglas and Johnson. They are more
bitter against him than against the Repub
licans. Jessee D. Bright is or has just been
at Indianapolis, and the douglas rebels
are quaking in their boots for fear of his
Vaccinations. Some rare fun will probably
be on the tapis, soon.
The Republicans in Central Indiana are
enthusiastically at work, mailing up the
coffin Of Locofocoism, and digging the hole
in which to bury its putrid carcass. They
are confident of victory in Marion county
by majority of indefinite hundreds, and
the talented representative from the Sixth
Congressional District, Hon Albert G. Por-
ter, viii, it is almost certain, be reelected
by much larger majority than he obtained
in 1858. Our guess at his majority is 1000.
He win probably be down during the sum
ner to talk to the Onnnsitinn nf q the Pnols
ct" His visit will be productive of much
benefit to the cause. ra
The gallant KeDtuckian, Cassius NJ Clay,
has extended his appointments down this
way from Yincennes, and hence up the river
to New Albany. [The particulars will be
found in another column He is a very
effective speaker, and deserves to have, as
he viii have, immense audiences We
doubt not that hundreds of kentuckians
will embrace this opportunity of hearing
their distinguished fellow-citizen
Hon. Il. S. Lane will pay another visit
soon TO the South Western portion of the |
State, but will not be in this immediate
neighborhood at any early day. He will |
probably pay US another visit before the |
campaign is over. His new list will be |
published in a day or two by us
Tom Corwin, "the Wagon Boy" the |
statesman and popular orator,
is making his calculations to give the peo-
pie of the Pocket several speeches during |
the summer. He will about finish the ca
reer of Locofocoism when he comes, if it is |
not entirely defunct at that time. No man !
living can excel him as an instructive and !
entertaining speaker. His visit will be
hailed with delight, especially by the old
Wings who remember the terrible thrash |
ings he has given bogus Democracy in days /
gone by.
Carl Schnrz, the eloquent and scholarly |
German, will also visit his portion of the !
State during the summer, to plead the cause
of Free Labor. All who have heard him
are aware how effectively he can do this
service.
Besides these, other good speakers will
visit as from time to time. There will be
no lack of them, and it now devolves on the
members Of the party here to prepare the
way for them by arousing public interest.
This is the work now before US.
