Bas~The Confederates boldly march into
Kentucky, seize men and impress them in
to their service. The State authorities of
Kentucky will neither protect the Union
men themselves, nor permit the General
Government to do it. 1t is high time the
President took some action looking to the
protection of the Union men of that mis-
guided commonwealth. If it expects
Southern Union men to acknowledge
allegiance to the Government it must take
prompt steps to insure their protection

MRS. EWING Would respectfully
call the attention of the ladies of Evansville to her
new and complete style of
SHOULDER BRACE AND SKIRT SUPPORTER.
There is not one lady in the land but has suffered
or less from the unfortunate and deploI alb e
manner that custom has sanctioned, of suspendiug
the skirts from the hips and across the abdomen
Ninetenths of the diseases from which females
suffer, are caused by the unnatural and unpardona-
BILE practice of suspending almost the entire weight
of their clothing by the of bands drawn tight
around their waists. 1t is we'll understood that
disease and deformity are but the result of viola
tions of natures laws, and long continued series
of digressions, resulting too many have found
when too late, in a ruined and broken constitution
Mothers should look TO it that their daughters dc
not suffer from too much tight lacng in the shape
of tight wristbands, for the purpose of supporting
their skirts
This Shoulder Grace and Supporter is 50 con-
structed as to entirely relieve the hips aud abdo-
men from the weight of their skirts, and at the
same time, in easy and comfortable manner, re-
mind the wearer that she should sit stand in an
erect position TO promote health and comfort
Gentlemen can be furnished with Shoulder BRA
also.

Ds- Our news from the West, this morn
ing, is of highly exciting character. The
struggle for Missouri promises to be lengthy
and bloody. Col. Sigeis men, in the try
ing circumstances under which they were
placed, appear to have fought and retreated
with the precision of veterans. The fact
that they were not crushed to atoms by the
overwhelming force brought against them,
is sufficient evidence of their discipline
and pluck.

THE INDIANA FREE BANKs.-On our frs
page to-day we publish the Auditors semi
annual statement of the condition of the
Free Banks of Indiana. The circulation of
these banks is about $1,000, 900. Most of
them are in sound condition, but many have
their circulation based on stocks that have
but little, if any, value in market The
Bank of Paoli, based on Louisiana and Mis-
souri, stocks, and the Bank Of Rockville, at
Wabash, with Louisiana for its foundation.
are in the worst condition of any of the
banks. The latter has a circulation of over
$4,000, and is voluntarily retiring it. The
banks based on Indiana and United States
stocks are in a sound condition, and doubt
less all the others will be made good with
out delay. Under a recent act passed by
the Legislature, all free banking, after two
years from the first of last January, is
obliged to be done with Indiana stocks or
coin as DISTRIBUTING the interests on
our bonds to be paid at home instead of in

THE FOURTH AT GoLCoNDA.-A cores
pendent gives US the following particulars
of the celebration in Golconda:
Allow me to say that the Fourth of July
was not forgotten by the Egyptians We
had two flag presentations, one to Ger
man company and one to a company of
Americans. In both cases you easily see
that warm feeling was entertained for the
preservation of the Union. The Germans
had pic mic, while the Americans enjoyed
themselves in marching and exercising. At
two o'clock the companies met in a grove
near town, where Mr.. Spooner read the
Declaration of independence, and Samuel
Roper delivered a Union-loving speech,
which told, at every word, how dear our
country's welfare is to US. You could see
the tears trickling down the furrowed
cheeks of those in the hearing of this young
orator. 1t being his first effort, each word
fell like a sledge upon the heads of those
around, strengthening those who were warm
Union men. and making those who were
luke warm, tremble, lest they had commit
ted some grave offence. At the close the
Captain Of the company proposed three
cheers for the Union, which were given
with a will Our Government forever
remain yours,
j. NJ. BoICoURT.

DB~Last Saturday, as a train was pass
ing on the Lafayette Road, a man in the
woods was observed throwing stones at the
passenger cars. The train was stopped and,
after gallant race, the offender was caught
by the conductor and taken to the train,
when forty lashes on his bare back were
well laid on. The rascal left wiser, but
a sadder man.

Col. JOHN Fry:
My Dear Sir 1t gives me very great
pleasure to be the medium of transmission
of these weapons, to be used in the defence
of national sovereignty upon the soil of
Kentucky.
Though some years have passed since
left my native State, have never ceased to
contemplate her progress in happiness and
prosperity with sentiments of fond and filial
pride. In every effort of industrial energy,
in every enterprise of honor and valor my
heart has been with her. And [ rejoice in
the consciousness that, at this time when
the institutions to whose fostering care we
owe all that we have Of happiness and glory
are rudely assailed by ungrateful and par
ricidal hands, the State of Kentucky, ever
true and loyal, furnishes to the insulted
flag of the Union guard of her best and
bravest sons. On every field the proves of
Kentuckians has been manifested. In the
holy cause of national defence they must
be invinci5le.
Please accept, sir, these weapons as to-
ken of the love | shall never cease to cher
ish for my mother State, of the pride with
which / have always regarded the exploits
of her sons and. of the confidence which
feel in the ultimate loyalty of her people,
who, while never forgetting the homage
which their beloved State may Justly claim,
still remember the higher and grander allie
gi ance due to our common country
Yours very sincerely,
Col, John Fry. MARY LINCOLN

eEE The New York Herald of the 9Th
inst, contains an account OF the death of a
man and his wife, from the explosion of a
Kerosene lamp. They were filling it at the
time of the explosion, and were, no doubt,
less careful, from the fact that it has always
been claimed that Kerosene would not ex-
plode 1t would be difficult to calculate the
number who have been killed by the patent

their being instantly killed, by exercising
