The City Of Manchester left Liverpool at

telegraph to Queenstown.
PARIS, January IA rumor is current

gI A correspondent from Washington,
writing over the signature of IA Republi-
can," to the Cincinnati Gazette, says, in re-
gard to the nominations for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, that while no ticket
would suit him better than John Mclean
for President, and John Minor Bolts for
Vice President, Mr.. Mclean is too far ad-
vanced in years to be run with safety. The
correspondent thinks that with John NJ.
Bolts for President and Thomas Corwin for
Vice, the Opposition could beat the werld.
We are afraid chat the ticket would be of
the kangaroo escription--strongest in the
rear. AT any rate it would be safer to have
the bolts in the tail than in the head Cor
win and Bolts would sound better than
Bolts and Corwn.

BEyH An Indianapolis correspondents of a
Cincinnati paper says that deleg@hn of
eight or ten leading Republicans win start
for Washington City in few days, to i'm
press upon the minds of members of their
party the fact that unless a conservative
man is nominated for President, Indiana
will be lost to the Republicans.-N. Il. Irib.
The leading Republicans about Indianap-
oils have heretofore been quite radical, but
we notice that they are coming to their
senses. 1t is high time, too, for they have
been rather exclusive for several years for
any useful purpose. Their concessions of
late to the conservative sentiment of South
ern Indiana, and such proceedings as we
copy above, are hopeful signs in the head
strong politicians who have controlled the
Opposition politics in this State for several
years. Let them carry out the couciliatory
measures they have begun, and good results
may be expected.

E&@ BAYARD TAYLoR's lecture on We'd
nesday evening was listened to with great
interest by as many people as could crowd into
Marble Hall. The lecturer, it is well known,
is model speaker. He has a full. rich
voice, and talks without effort, so that all
his auditors can hear plainly every word
His elocution is faultless. But we do think
that the matter OF his lecture on Wednesday
evening was not worthy of Mr.. TAYLoR's
reputation. There was much valuable in
formation in it, but we thought portions of
it were frivolous in the extreme. 1t seems
to US that Mr.. TAYLOR ought certainly to
produce a lecture on Russia of more sus-
tanned value and interest for an intellectual
audience, than that of Wednesday evening
possessed.

KNOXVILLE. Iowa.

KNOXVILLE, Iowa, Jan. 18.
One of those distressing accidents which
seem to follow the fortunes. or rather mis-
fortunes of some men, occurred some six
miles of this place, at about 9 o'clock last
night.
A man by the name of Harshaw had left
his house, after getting his children flour in
number) into bed-the eldest boy of but
tell years, the youngest a babe of thirteen
months-to go for his wife, who was at
tending the sick at q neighbours, about one
mile away, when by some unknown cause,
the bed in which two of the children slept
caught fire, which fortunately wakened the
Oldest boy, who, with astonishing presence
of mind and courage, succeeded in getting
the other children out of the house safe, af-
ter burning his hands and face badly, and
almost all the hair from his head. He af-
terward broke open the window and rescued
the family Bible that lay on stand near
the window--the only thing saved from the
burning house except their lives-and, find
ing nothing more could be done, took the
babe IN his arms, and, by coaxing and lead
ing the others, succeeded in getting them to
the nearest neighbor, some half mile or
more, travelling over ground on cold jan
uary night in their night clothes Here the
brave little fellow could hardly be persuaded
to stay and have his wounds cared for, but
insisted on going for his father, showing an
unconquerable spirit and a perseverance
hard to be excelled in one so young.

RsA- We are glad to find that our ladies
are fast following one after another in the
good and beneficial fashions which the
more sensible ones of them have adopted
this winter, of wearing thick soled shoes.
There has been more injury sustained by
wearing thin shoes than can ever be esti-
ers in shoes are bringing on full stocks of
shoes suitable for the most fastidious admi-
rers of nice shoes. We were particularly
struck by lot of the most beautifully fin
ished French Kid, but thick soled, Boots,
which our friend HUGHES received this week
by express. We advise the ladies to take a
look at his shoes, and purchase a pair by all
means. feb 3

TeIegraphio Dispatches.

1t will be noticed that we give, to-day, no
telegraphic dispatches. The reason of the
omission is, that the expense of taking them
has been thrown altogether upon as by the
Enquirer discontinuing their publication,
and it is heavier load than we feel able to
carry.
The cost of the dispatches is 5000 per
year-S3O0 for each paper. By the EnQui-
rer declining to bear half the expense, the
whole of it was shouldered upon US. The
mere cost of the dispatches is not all the
expense, by great deal. Besides that, we
have to pay extra for setting type and other
work after nigat (most of the dispatches
being put in type very late), and for extra
gas and fuel. Putting all these burdens to-
gether, they make the expense very onerous
upon US, which the patronage we receive
does not Justify.
1t costs us just as much to publish our
Daily for a population of Is, 900 inhabitants
as it does the proprietors Of other Dailies
published in cities of double and triple the
size; and where they get at least six
y
only FIVE dollars Their advertising patron
age is also larger. So it will be seen that
everything is against US and in their favor.
We are not disposed to grumble and don't
intend to do so. We expect to incur just as
much expense as we can afford to but we
don't feel like Torking our life out and
losing none 4oo. The work we are not
afraid OF, but we want to reap some benefit
from it, There is no encouragement in
paying out all, or more than, We receive on
our paper. We are willing and anxious to
do all we can for the good and credit of the
city, and think we have been doing our full
share. This we always intend to do.
With the discontinuance of the dispatches,
we intend to redouble our zeal in the collec-
ton of local and other news. Our readers
shall have no cause to complain ofthe Jour
nal in other respects. We expect to give
them the full worth of their money.

German In our Public schools.

The Board of Trustees of our free schools
contemplate the introduction of the study
of German in our schools. The estimated
expenses of our schools for the current year
have been made, and there are no funds
which the Board can use for this purpose
A competent teacher can be procured at a
moderate salary.
Parents and guardians who wish their
children to study German, will signify the
same by notifying either of the Trustees.
The probable cost will be one dollar per
quarter, but to bring the cost of this desira-
bic acquisition at this low price, one hun
dred and fifty scholars will be needed for
the term. We ask early action in this mat
ter, as we wish to commence with the third
quarter of our school year.
By order of the Board.

GREELEY's LECTURE To-NIGHT.-Our citi-
zens are on the tip-toe of curiosity to see
and hear this celebrated man. There is per-
haps no man in the country who could
draw together SO large a crowd in this city
as the white-coated philosopher of the 1ri-
6une. Not one of his political friends and
admirers will stay away from his lecture;
and the desire will be no less ardent on the
part Of Democrats, who are all anxious to
get sight of this terri6Ee~m man who has
been so long fighting the " nnterrifed =
they want to see what he looks like. We
understand that quite a number of the citi-
zens of our sister city of Henderson are
coming up to see and hear the E" Prince of
abolitionIsts," as he is regarded at the
South. There will also be delegations from
neighboring towns, as there were at TAY-
LoR's lecture, on Wednesday night. The
crowd tonight will, we predict, be beimmense,
even large- than at BAYARD TAYLoR's. So
we advise our friends who want good seats
and fair view of Horace, to go early.

FIRE.-About half past 8 o'clock last
night fire broke out in CARPENTERS Block
and for time occasioned considerable ex-
element. The citizens turned out strong,
and the steam engine was dragged couple
of squares in quick time. The little " Sis, p"
as usual, was on hand first, and threw an
effective, but we must confess, it looked like
an unwilling, stream. The bystanders
seemed willing the thing should burn, as the
night was so still there was little probabil-
ity of endangering any other property. But
the steam engine is no respecter of property,
and extinguished the flames in short order,
The amount of damage done we did not
learn, but do not suppose it amounts to
much in dollars and cents; but by the poor
creatures who inhabit the building from an
inability to pay for better, it will be Sc
verely felt-especially these cold days and
nights. Water was unnecessarily thrown
into some parts of the building, which could
only injure and distress the occupants with
out benefiting any one.
