Rr Warm weather has now commenced
in earnest, and as it is probable that it will
continue for two or three months, we think
it proper that we should inform our readers
who may desire to buy light rainment of
the fact that they can buy beautiful linen
marseilles and Alpaca suits at cost by cali
ing at LYoNs's who has the best stock Of
summer clothing to be found in the State.
His stock of furnishing goods, summer
undergaruents, &C., ia complete, and all
articles in his line, can be bought fully
'hirty-three per cent less than the same
class of goods could have been bought year
ago.

EDITORS JOURNAL Permit me to draw
your attention to two errors which occur in
the Journal, relative to the Military Band
of the 18th Regiment Indians Volunteers.
In your paper of the 29th occurs the fol-
lowing: "The honor of sending the Regi-
mental Band of the 18th Regiment, we di-
vide with our neighbors of Posey county.
It's leader and a majority of its members,
however, are residents of this city"
Here occurs the error as to its leader and
a majority being residents of your city
B slow we give the names of those from the
New Harmony Band, viz:
G. W. Warren, John Bennett, w. Bald
win, James Bennett, W. w. Showers, JAS
P. Swift, w. Albert Twigg, John Jones,
William Bennett, George Baldwin, Alex. P.
Twigg, Monk Saltzman, w. F. Baldwin,
Louis King, William Glrichman. w a
Hamilton, William Wheatcof.
Thus seventeen are residents of New Har-
mony, or from Posey county. | include
Mr. Warren, because when he came over
with Capt. Lamb, of the l 5th Regiment he
addressed the citizens Of Harmony, stating
that be received a communication from
Lieut.. Col. Owen, who stated if the New
Harmony Band would volunteer for the
three years, and G. W. Warren would lead,
he would procure for them their acceptance
in the 18th Regiment. Mr.. W. also stated
if our Band gave their consent to go, he
should remove his family to old Harmony,
and again become citizen among us. His
family now resides here.
In former number of the Journal, the
Band of the 18th is called the Crescent City
Band. To this our citizens denlur, because
the Band has ever since its organization
been known as the NelO HdrnSsly Band
The number comprising a Military Band is
"a. Our town has II members 2 or 8
joined at Indianapolis, consequently Har-
mony furnished over two-thirds of the
Band. The correction is asked only as an
act ofjustice.
With sentiments Of high respect
remain your friend,

the river, at the corner at Water and Sycamore
Streets, opposite and convenient to the Steamboat

These considerations render it by far the most
pleasant aud desirable location for Hotel in tho

passengers arriving or departing by boats, and an
nibus will run to and from the American to all
passenger trains on the e. & G. r. r.

"a The American people have taken
their defeat at Bulls Run as heroically as
did the Romans in the war with Carthage.
When Varro returned from the battle of
Camnae where he had lost 10000 men,
and had been most horribly beaten by the
Carthagenians, he fastened to the Senate
and told his story, extenuating nothing, aud
winding up with request for more men,"
The Senate instantly, on motion of its
leader, passed unanimous vote Of thanks
to Varro for that he had not despaired Of
, the republic"

by sad experience. Inefficient officers are
