purpose of taking into consideration the
policy of selling the old fair ground to en-
able the Trustees to pay the debts standing

EVACUATION OF HARPERs FERRY.-The
several reports of the evacuation of Harper
Ferry by our troops appear a: last to have
assumed a definite and positive shape. This
maueuvre will take the whole South by
surprise. We confess that in the reception
of this intelligence we were compelled to
draw largely upon our confidence in the su-
perior sagacity and strategical skill of our
military commanders. Unless followed by
some bold and energetic aggressive move
ment the effect of this evacuation must be
discouraging. We shall look to such move
ment with con fidence The temper of our
people and of our armies is decidedly hostile
to those retrograde movements. They would
rather fight at the risk of being whipped
than be continually falling back and wait
ing to be assailed. Our new and raw troops
are not adapted to this style of warfare

The Virginia correspondent OF the Gin

descriptions of the exploits of the western
boys on the q sacred soil. The entire vol

like fear, and demand posts of danger with
an Importantly at times very annoying to
the officers The following description of a
couple of g well known Indianians is
quite interesting
A large party, composed of the cavalry
company, and supported by two or three
hundred infantry, went out again last night
and drove in tbs enemy's pickets. An at
tempt was then made to draw them into an
ambuscade. The main body had been kept
back, and the rebels had no reason to sup
pose any considerable force there. Two
only of the party then went forward, Major
J. W. Gordon, and Horace Bell, whose
daring achievement, a few years ago, in res
cuing his father from the Brandenburgh,
KY, jail will not fail to be remembered
These two recklessly rode up to a bridge on
the other side OF which the enemy had
rallied. They received several volleys,
and made spirited return with
their reviewers. After firing for

Gea Scott expresses himself as well
pleased with the army appointments. Hs
said yesterday that much care to select eff
fcient officers had been manifested. 1t Is
not generally known that when the Presi-
dents proclamation for the new army was
issued, that a Commission, consisting of
Gen Mcdowell, Col. Franklin and Colonel
Meigs, was appointed to suggest plan for
the organization of the new regiments.
This Commission reported that half of the
officers should be taken from the regular
army and half from army civilians. This
plan was approved by the President, Gen.
Scott, and the Secretary of War, who has
carried it into execution. Mr.. Cameron
also took an additional number from the
old army.
The remaining Second Lieutenants, few
of whom only have as yet been appointed
will be chosen from among the meritorioui
non-commssioned officers and privates a
/ present in the service. This course will b'
eminently satisfactory, as it will serve tt
make the new regiments equal in every re
/ spect, if not superior, to the old.

Those who think the statements in my let

cessful contradiction, that not one material

Card.
SURVEYORS OFFICE,

Evansville, Ind, June 26, 1861.
Permit me to call the attention of the cit
liens Of Evansville, and especially OF the
business men and traders, to the instruc-
tions of the Secretary of the Treasury, dated
June 18th, and published in the Journal of
the 25th inst, as they effect an important
change in the business of the city
By referring to those instruments it will
be seen that the shipment and transporta-
ton OF q all merchandise of whatever char
acter," is prohibited TO the rebels against
the United States, and to all places under
their control; aud that " all States in which
the authority of the United States is tenn
porarily subverted, are to- be regarded as
under insurrectionary control" This is i'm
portant, for it cuts off the trade of this city
from a large portion of the country south Of
the Ohio river, which has continued up to
the present time.
The object of this card is 10 notify all
persons interested, that these instructions
viii be hereafter rigidly enforced, and that
all persons who may wilfully disohey them,
may Is pect the infection of The penalties
provided by The lave for such disobedience.

The Democrat man is evidently some-
what put out with my puff OF him, and af-
ter making guess at no your correspond

on his dignity, and with Il self-complaisant

Der of the Indiana Legislature Echo an

Gen. Williamson had run several times for
the Legislature and always come out so far
ahead that che got the soubriquet of the
Old War Horse" of the Spencer county
Democracy. Being put up the third time
by his party, his opponents were about to
give up in despair, when happy thought
struck them. They would pick out one of
his own party, divide the party vote, and
thereby defeat him and, to make the de-
feat more singing, they concluded to run
the nearest Democrat they could find
There was plenty of men of that stamp to
pick from, but, by instinct as it were, and
with surprising unanimity, c. jones was
instantly selected as the man, aud it is said
the /" Old War Horse " was badly morti-
fed when he found ont be was beaten, and

was living concealed within ear-shot, de-
scribe the conversation as Intensely anus

men of whom jeff. Davis had said that
the only weapon necessary to be used
against them was the cowhide-across the
ravine stood party of at least eight chiv-
alrous Southerners, with the whole camp in
arms behind them. The Hoosiers heaped
every taunt and insult upon the fellows over
the rayine, loaded them with epithets, and
reviled them, as one of the party behind
said, " like very fshwomen." Not a parti-
Gle of good did it do. There stood the stolid
Virginians replying only to every taunt
with, "never mind, just wait few days,
and we acdL come out and show you what
we can do" have read the annals of
many wars, but think l never happened
upon any record of such performance as
the extraordinary doings of that pair of
Hoosiers defying the whole rebel camp, and
swapping their revolvers at them by way of
giving emphasis to their denunciations.
While out, this party discovered thegrave
of poor Martin, of the l4th Ohio, who had
been murdered the day before. They de-
scribe the burial the rebels had accorded
their victim as the most brutal thing they
had ever witnessed. A little hole had been
dug, the body had been hurried in, all stain
ed with gore, as it was, and few clods had
been been thrown over it. The corpse viii
be disinterred and brought in to-day at an
risk.
