EVANSVILLE IND. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 4, l86o
The Democratic Blowout.

Last night the Democracy were going to
break things generally in the way of a
mass meeting to do honor to Governor
Willard. The Enquirer of Saturday gave
the Republicans fair notice to keep their
f. eyes skinned for something grand. We all
expected a stunning time.
Monday evening rolled around. The
Governor came and was escorted to the
Sherwood House by the Earthquakes or
some other malicious organization, 10
the music of two or three stage horns. 1t
was an imposing sight--imposing on the
Governors good nature.
Well, night rolled around but we look
ed in vaIn for banners, transparencies,
lamps, or wood pecker-headed Guards
Nary banner, nary transparency, nary lamr,
nary red flannel nieht-cap was visible to
tie naked eye. This was ominous. Soon
the Crescent City Brass Band gave the only
cheering indication of the evening of life
amongst the Democracy. Then followed
the Guards in dust and darkness. The rear
was brought up by martial music band
composed Of fife that sounded ikea penny
whistle, and two "snare' drums, pounded
by two infant drummers. They played the
Rogue's March and. the Dead March alter
nately. The whole display. leaving out the
C. G. Brass Band, was Lumiliating in the
extreme to the party.
When we reached the Market House, who
should we see on the stand but Judge Moore
llovey bolter, and an alien to the party
for the past two years also Morris S.
johnson, Esq, who has not got warm yet
in his new Douglas nest The question
arose very naturally, Where are the old De-
mocrats Echo answered, ''no where"
Gov. Willard, who seemed in fine spirits,
proceeded to deliver himself of his surplus
gas, lie ran OF fer an hour and a half in
trade, in which the words "Cons'tu' shn, -
Black R'pub lens" Estate gov'm'nt3 /
'decl'ra' a'shn'f ind pend nc, p" Congr's' Nitd /
Stats, "fer cit'z'ns, Niger quality,
popl'r sov'rn'ty,2 and other choice and
abbreviated expression were chiefly promi-
nent
The Governor gave people to understand
distinctly that he was governor, and had the
privilege of the pardoning and appointing
power. lie thought this would aztonish the
natives lie made lame defense of the
fearful charges Of corruption made against
the Democrats of the State Government,
and Landed Douglas to the skies, although !
less than six months ago he was abusing
him like pick pocket. At the same time /
he honeyed the Breckenridge men. The |
secret is, he wants to 90 to the L. S. Senate !
next winter, and thinks he will do the agree |
able to bothdacti6ns. But the Republicans !
will save him the modification of defeat by |
his own party by electing Republican Leg
islature that will elect good Republican
as Senator.
Baylcss W. Hanna, Esq, of Terre Haute,
was introduced by Mr. Nj. S. johnson, and
was spouting away for dear life until after
ten O'clock, to meagre audience.

E. THREE HUNDRED DELAwAREs AND PoTTO-
wATToMEs kILLED-We learn from Mr..
Davidson, of Indianola, that a painful ru-
NOR was brought to that place on Saturday
last, by a returned Pixies Peaker, of Sc
we're Indian fight, some three weeks since,
on the Solomon, about one hundred miles
above Fort Riley, in which about three
hundred Pettowattomies and Delawares
were killed. The informant says he passed
directly through the scene of the 6ght-that
the dead were all scalpod, and supposed the
other party to have been Cheyennes, ARA
pahoes, &c, who were known to have been
in that vicinity at that time. The murder-
ed Indians are supposed to be a party of
some three or four hundred Pottowatto-
mics, half breed, and Delawares, that went
from this vicinity q short time previous to
the rumored battle, for the purpose of hunt
ing buffalo. Among them were Messrs.
LFlumbeau, Beaubien, Ogee. Darling, and
several other prominent Indians, well
known in this vicinity, who accompanied
the expedition for the sake of the excite
ment and pleasure which it promised.

WHAT IS THoUGHT OF Mr.. ORRs LETTER.
Col. Orr's letter has taken his friends
here very much by surprise. He has al
ways been considered a staunch friend of
the Union, and latterly also friend ofDoug-
las. His open declaration in favor of Breck-
iuridge and Lane, and of the secession of
South Carolina, in case she is joined by
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, immedi-
ately upon the election of Lincoln, without
the commission of any overt act on the part
OF the Republican administration, is deemed
an effort to outbid keitt for the United
States Senatorship.- Wash. Cor. ". Y.Her-

The DRED SCoTT DECISION Run IN THE
GRoUND.-A colored man in this city few
days ago, brought suit against one Of our
citizens for trespass, the fact being that
the citizen went on the colored mans prem
ises and shot his dog. The case coming on
to be heard, a Democratic lawyer of this
city, moved the Court to dismiss the suit,
for the reason, that under the Dred Scott
decision negro could not bring suit in any
of our Courts. 1t was rather a staggering
pint, still, we believe, the Court " understood
herself" and refused TO dismiss This we
think is running the Dred Scott decision in
the ground.-Tsrre Hante Express.

THE Exodus FROM IGELAND.-Dr. Murray
writes to the New York Observer regarding
the exodus from Ireland. The reasons
which he assigns for the excessive emigra-
ton which has been going on for so many
years are: lst, That it is very difficult for
farmers of small means to secure enough
land for cultivation to occupy their time
and support their families. ID, The last
few years have been marked by such pros
perity that poor people have been able TO
lay up more money with which to transport
themselves to other lands. 81, The multi
tudes who have already left ireland are per-
suading their friends to follow them. 4th,
Many are leaving to get away from the in
fuence of priests. And 5th, A large nun
Der emigrate simply to better their con
ditiCn.

some men were excayating near the old fort
in this place, they discovered the remains Of
Is bodies of British and American soldiers,
who were in the war of 1872 Several but
tons, bayonets and epaulettes were also
found. One button has the notices Of the
Pennsylvania rangers on it, another is mark
ed U. S, another 8th British Grenadiers. y
few American coins were also found. From
the position of the bodies, it is evident that
they were buried in a trench, near where
they fell. Gen. Pike and two hundred
Americans and number of British were
killed near this spot in 1873, by the eypIos-
ion of a powder magazine.

INTERESTING INTELLIGENCE FOR THE La
DIEs.-By the latest arrival from the q Court
of Fashion, Paris, the Ladies receive the
satisfactory intelligence that Hoop Skirts
not only remain in vogue, but several new
and beautiful styles have recently been IN
troduced to ;he beau monde. Of the many
novel descriptions of Skirts that lave just
appeared in Paris, Messrs. W. S. & c. H.
THOMPSON Il Co, of New York, have re-
modelled several of the most elegant and re-
cherehe designs, which they have already
placed in the market for 1860. Among the
most remarkable skirts of this firms manu-
facture, we notice the " Eugenia Paris Gore '
the g Constitution" the " Southern Queen, y
the Fairy the "Parisian Train and
the d" Zephyr" which the Ladies through
out the entire country viii not fail to ap-
preciate, as in their construction the manu-
farturers have studied to produce, and have
succeeded, skirts which combine lightness,
durability, and elegance. The Messrs.
THOMPSON, we understand, have recently
patented the wedge slide, used by them
exclusively, and which materially adds to the
excellence of their Skirts. making them, in
deed, superior to those Of all other manu-
facturers. The trial already given to their
" corrugated springs, as shown in their dai-
ly use in skirts for months past, has conclu-
siyely proved their superiority over all
springs heretofore introduced.

THE You've MEN FOR LINCoLN.-The New

who, in 1856, were deluded into the belief
that Nillard Fillmore could be elected, are
no longer willing to support decoy ticket ;
besides, the young men have every conf

Tic Democratic State Central Committee
appointed at the last State Convention met
at San Francisco on the 3Oth and 3lst, and
after a long discussion, in which it was en-
deavored to avoid split in the party, by
holding but one State Convention, and
electing but one electoral ticket, it was
found impracticable to act harmoniously.-
Twenty-six Committeemen were for Breck-
inridge and ten for Douglas The former
have called State Convention to nominate
an electoral ticket on the lth of Septem-
Der, and the latter will hold their Conven-
ton on the same day.

held at San Francisco on Saturday evening.
1t was called as a Democratic ratification
meeting, and the Douglas Democrats at
tended in such numbers rs to be able TO
vote down all the ratifying resolutions. 1t
is now alleged that the Douglas Democrats
are taking courage throughout the State,
and feel confident of carrying the mass of
the Democratic votes with them.

Association of Teachers
An opportunity is hereby extended to the
teachers of Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee and
Kentucky, TO meet together in social man
ner, and enjoy themselves in an intellectual
feast. Such a gathering will afford ample
means to form new acquaintances among
persons whose pursuits and objects are alike,
and whose experimental knowledge. i'm
parted to each other cannot fail to be of
mutual advantage.
An opportunity will also be afforded to
those who may desire it, TO pay visit to
the great Mammoth Cave, but few miles
from Bowling Green. The entire expense
ofthe trip, including railroad and hotel fare,
will not exceed $l5. as the New Albany

carry the excursonists at half fare.
Teachers wishing to go on this excursion,
will do well to forward their names to f. A.
liolyoke Esq. Secretary of the Kentucky
Association of Teachers, at Louisville, Ken

tion of our Kentucky neighbors will be gen
orally accepted by the teachers of this sec
ton, as such an opportunity may not soon
be afforded them again.-Ctn. Times.

WAsHINGToN, August 13.-Judge Arney.
of Kansas, has fled in the General Land
Office the necessary papers to obtain the
right of way for the construction of a rail-
road through Southern Kansas TO connect
with the Galveston Railroad in Texas The
Commissioner General of the land office
has, in conformity of the law of Congress,
granted the necessary instructions to the
land offices having control of the lands
through which this road will pass, to reserve
the right of way, and lands for depots and
water stations. Gen. Arney left this city
to-day for Kansas 7H
A corps of engineers viii at once proceed
to make survey through Kansas and the
Usage and Indian country with view to
the permanent location OF the road through
the Indian Territory. The construction of
this road will open the Western country
with the Gulf of Mexico, and Will open the
travel and resources Of large portion of the
country in Kansas, the Indian Territories,
and the States OF Texas and Arkansas, which
are now of comparative little value by the
construction of a Railroad connecting with
the Hannibal and St Joseph Railroad to
Lawrence, and from Leavenworth to Law
renee, and thence south to tue Indian Ter
ritory to connectwith the Texas road. aa
II Is pelleyed that mlIHonS OF dollars viii
be added to the wealth of the country, from
the mineral resources which have not been
and cannot be developed without the means
of travel and transportation, which the
present enterprise is designed to supply.

York, is here on his way to the West TIL

starvation, from falling crops. sa ..ll
The statement that suit had been insti-
tuted against the Sergeant-at-Arms by Mr.
Hyatt, is erroneous. His intention is to
prosecute in the Stale Courts the individual
