Bs~Our Constitution authorizes the cree
tion of houses of correction for Juvenile Of
tenders. The Terre-Haute Express, in view
OF the vast amount of vice amongst the
youth OF the State, calls the attention of the
public to the necessity OF sueh institutions.
The Express instances the criminal tenden-
cies of large number of the youth of that
city, and remarks that the boys of that city
are hot worse than those of other cities
hence the necessity for houses of correction.
We concur with the Express in the opinion
that such houses ought TO be erected as soon
as feasible.

UNION MEETING.-No steps, that we are
aware of, have yet been taken for Union
Meeting in Evansville. We have twice
suggested such meeting, but have met
with no response from our leading citizens
favorable to a meeting. Why this indifer-
ence exists we do not know nor can we
say whether the non-action of our people
arises from the conviction that a meeting
would do no good, or from party Jealousy
If Union meeting is decided on by our
leading citizens, we are ready to do our
share at any time in assisting to have it pass
off beneficially and agreeably.

BeS% A correspondent, writing from Lou
isville, to the Indianapolis Journal, appeals
to the North to send food to those portions
of the South where the people are suffering
for it. We doubt not that there is consid-
cradle actual suffering in the South for the
necessaries Of lie, from the shortness of the
crops last season. If so, and application be
made to the North for aid, we believe it
will be furnished in abundance, for human
ity's sake, notwithstanding the BAD state of
feeling between the two sections.

EVANSVILLE, ND SATURDAY. NORNTNG DECEIBER o. 180o


lNFAMoUs.-The following is a specimen
of the Satanic means used 10 portions of the
South TO excite the people against Northern
men. We take the extract from the Mem
phis Avalanche. 1t will be seen that mur-
der and assassination are enjoined as duty.
After reading such articles, the idea i'm
presses itself forcihly on US that in whatever
compromise it may be possible to make be-
tween the North and South, the former
ought to require as a siae qua non the pro
lection other citizens in person and property
when travelling in the South No North
ern man is safe there now
We say to the Minute Men" persevere in
the NOBLE work you have undertaken You
have done much good, but still more re
mains undone. There are lurking in your
midst thousand traitors, who hate you and
the c.tuse in which you are engaged. Hunt
up the cowardly ingrates, and if necessary
nail taelr vile carcasses to their own doors
or hang them upon the public lamppost.-
The people Of Memphis must elevate their
standard of Southern Rights and devotion
to Southern interests. The q Minnie Men
are inaugurating a new era. They intend
to purge the city Of every excresence They
have done much towards giving tone to a
sound, healthy Southern sentiment they
are bringing trade to Memphis, some of
which we regret to say will be thrown in
the lap of men who are not with US and of
us. We should as soon attempt to attract
the trade Of the country to acity by spread
ing reports of the existence, in its ware
houses, hotels, and on its Wharves, of the
cholera small pON and yellow fever, as TO
solicit the aid ofSouthern men, and at the
same time show an Indifference to the lnsti-
tuition Of slavery. If the Memphis Bulletin
was regarded as a correct exponent of pub
lie sentiment IN Memphis, the inhabitants
of the surrounding country, who have con
tr1buted so much towards making US a great
and prosperous people, would hereafter shun
it as a leprosy. Memphis is dependent upon
slave labor and slave owners for her very
existence, and she must assume a high po-
sitlon on the vita question There must
not even be a suspicion that anything is rot
ten in Denmark. Our city is the great
Southern gateway, and she must keep her
hands clean of the blightin2 stain of aboli-
tCnism. Her loyalty to her3 friends and
patrons must be manifested in deeds-iust
such deeds as the " Minute Men :" are capa-
bic of achieving. Again we say to them, /
push on the column. When you find a /
traitor consign him to a dishonored grave, /
with no monument to mark the accurscd
spot save a rough stake driven through the /
body of the miserable migrate
