EVANSVILLE. MAY

EVANSVILLE, May 9, 1861.
EDITORS JOURNAL -Sr.-Some days ago
saw in your columns an enquiry as to
why there was no United States flag float
ing from the Hospital near this City. The
reason is that the Government has no flag
belonging to it here. On building of such
dimensions it would be absurd to raise any
flag except large one. If such a one
could be procured it would be raised with
all the honors by the officers in charge of
the Hospital. l have written to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury asking authority to
purchase a suitable flag. When that =
thority shall have been received the patri-
otto spirit of our citizens will be gratifed
by seeing the emblem of their country " full
high advanced" And no one will derive
more pleasure from the sight than the un-
dersigned. Very Respectfully,
CHARLES DEEBY, Surveyor.

We are requested to state to the ladies and

The soldiers will fight our battles for US and
we should feed them.

The granting of letters of Marque has been

officers and crew of such vessels as the Har-

lofty but not very creditable position from

CAIRo.-The Indianapolis Journal says
Authentic information was received in
that city Tuesday night which places it be-
yond doubt that an attack will be made on
Cairo in very few days, possibly to-day
Two ten inch Columbiads were shipped
from Columbus, KY, to the Missouri shore
opposite Cairo on Tuesday, and as there is
nothing heavier than twelve Founders at
that point to oppose them, they can deal de-
struction at their will, unless the Missouri
troops are sent down at once to take them
in the rear, or if not yet landed, to oppose
their landing"
As a distinguished Judge remarked of
the Court over which he presided =" If
Col. Prentiss understands herself and she
think she Does" nothing very terrible is
likely to occur at Cairo. Only the other
day, some large columbiads were shipped
from the Pittsburg Arsenal to Cairo, and
we presume they have arrived at their des-
tination before this. All the troops that
can be mustered from Tennessee and Ar
kansas will make but little impression on
that stronghold. Besides, Gen. Lane will
soon have his regiment of Kansas sharp
shooters in the field, and the Arkansas gents
may realize what it is 10 have fire in the
rear

DIsAPPoINTED.-A number of our citizens
collected at the depot quite early yerterday
to witness the arrival of the 18th regiment
of Indiana Volunteers. They manifested no
little disappointment when it was ascertain
ed that the troops were not likely to come
that day. Some concluded that the whole
thing was hoax aud that they were not
coming at all. Others, fearful that the SOL
diers might " slip in without their knowI-
edge, fingered about the depot the greater
portion Of the day, wearying the agent with
questions as to when the volunteers were
likely to arrive.
We can inform the, disappointed that the
statement we made yesterday was "by au-
thority,' but we presume something occur
red to occasion delay.
Yesterday, one or two United States Of
fcers arrived, and we have positive know
ledge that it is the intention of the State
authorities to concentrate some troops at
this point; whether they will arrive today
or tomorrow, We cannot state positively.

The San Francisco correspondent OF the
Y. Y. Times youches for the following
jncTirn. which occurred at Fort Yuma,
Arizona:
An olicer had procured twenty dollars
worth Of hostage stamps and left them in
his camp. TO which the Indians have free
and easy access. on this occasion young
soaaw, who had the run of the quarters, and
was very much at home anywhere and every
where, happened to stray into my friends
room, and seeing the postage stamps began
10 examine them with great curiosity. She
discovered they would stick, if wet, and
forthwith a happy idea strucs her. Now
the fashionable dress Of the ladies of her
class in that warm climate is Of the briefest
description. She WAS ambitious TO dress
no and excite the envy of the other P0ca-
hontases. So she went into the postal cur
rency, and much 10 the establishment of the
garrison, made her appearance presently on
the parade ground entirely covered with
postage stamps. She was stuck all over
with Benjamin franklin, and the Father of
his country was p!astered all over her lady
ship's glossy skin unfortunately, regard
less Of dignity and decency. The ''r0ar'
that greeted her from the commanding
officer down to the drummer boys, was loud
enough to be heard nearly at headquarters
in San Francisco, Indian like, she preserved
her cquanimitv and did not seem at all
but sailed off with the step
and air of a genuine Princess, while my
friend rushed into his quarters to discover
himself MINIS his twenty dollars worth of
postage stamps, and that what was intended
for the mai had been appropriated to the
female. sh" might have been put in the
overland coach and gone through-she
certainly could not have been stopped for
want Of being prepaid.

HOW HE MISSED IT,

A celebrated Physician in Paris, attended
the only child of rich parents. and with the
aid of Providence, saved the infants life.
A day or two after her darling was pro-
nouncnd out Of danger, the grateful mother
visited the man Of science, ut his Office.
"DoctOr,' said she, '.tbere are certain
services which mere money cannot remuner-
ate. Scarcely knowing how to discharge
my debt TO you. have thought YOU might
be wiling to accept this pocSetb ook, which
have myself embroidered, us a triling to-
ken of my gratitude.'
Madame" retoried the disc;rle of
.Lscusaprus, somewhat rudelV," ''the prac-
tIce Of medicine IS not matter Of sentl-
ment. Time is money. and we expect our
time to be paid for in cash. Pretty presents
may serve to perpetuate friendship, bu,
they do not contribute TO the cost Of house
keeping"
well, then, Doctor" replied the lady,
much wounded bv his tone and manner.
"be good enough to name the sum at which
you value your professional services.''
''Certain!g, Madame. My charge in your
instance, is two thousand francs"
Without further remark, the lady opened
the rejected pocket book, which she still
held IN her hand, took two Of the five thous-
ana francs notes slowed inside. placed them
on the great mans table. and quietly bid
hlm good morning. The doctor has no,
yet entirely recovered his disturbed equa-
nimitv.

.vEswEEp Foo EVERYBODY.

The New York Post relates that lady
crossing one of the muddy thoroughfares of
the Metropolitan city, encountered little
German girl sweeping the crosswalk very
vigorously, Just in front of her, and said {:
"Don't sweep toy me, little girl; havn's
got single penny aIort me. y The little
girl turned up a bright. beaming face, radi-
ant with health and beatty, and with the
air of one who meant all she SAID, replied :
sob we sweep for everybou =" 80 It Is
with the newspaper men. They sweep Tor
every body, sometimes receiving kicks lmcn-
tally apphed) and sometimes coppers for
their trouble. Still, they keep sweeping o.,
quite content with the relative position be-
tween kicks and coppers, blame and praise,
solacing themselves all the while with the
thought that they have made some ones
path more comfortable, and that now and
then n man, even if without "a single penny
will have the kindness to say ''You have
made me happier and given me new courage
and strength to be true to myself and just
toward nv fcllows.'
