CARD OF THANKS.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me, through the
columns of your paper, to acknowledge the
receipt, and also return thanks in behalf of
the sick soldiers, for large quantity of
hospital stores donated by the Soldiers Aid
Society of Bloomington, Ind, for the benefit
of the sick soldiers in Evansville in general,

of clothing, pillows, and great amount of
pies, cakes, bread, butter, canned fruit,
maple sugar, dried fruit, chickens, wine,
jellies, pickles, &C., and bundle of papers

kindness. These eatables were all of SUI
perior quality, and spoke as highly OF Their
culinary skill as their generosity. 1t II

gladly welcomed by those who are deprived
of the Injuries and pleasures of home and
friends. JAS. LITTLE.

Tne Concert Tonight

The simple story of Esther, as it is re-
corded in the Old Testament, can never be
read without thrill of pleasure, nor does
its tragic scenes ever weary him who care
fully studies the plot and characters Id
all the historical sketches Of che Scrip
lures there is always something new to be
discovered in them every time they are
read, and the truth Of the adage that the
Bible is always new, is only fully realized
by those who have studied it most.
The Cantata Of Esther, or the Beautiful
| Queen" which is to be presented to our
people this evening for the first time, by a
company composed of cur best musicians
is founded on the Bible story of Esther
The opening chorus breaks forth at that
point of the story when Hannah was ad-
vanced by the King, and the Kings servant t!
bowed and reVerenced Hanan. The re-
mainder of the history is pretty faithful
depicted in the HCantata," which consist
of solos, Duets, quartetts and choruses
The whole is thrillingly dramatic and car
not fail to merit the most enthusiastic aP
probation of those who hear it,
We advise our friends to go early,
they would secure seats, for from the
interest already manifested, we are sure tn
hall will be greatly crowded.
A programme, descriptive of the " Cants
! ta," with the names of the singers and thei
respective parts, will be distributed th
morning.

R6- The Systematic and apparently con-
certed attack upon the Hon. George Ban
croft, by the leading Democratic journals,
evidences the vehemence and vindictiveness
with which the Breckenridge faction regard
even the mildest opponents of slavery. Mr..
Bancroft, il will be remembered, in his cele-
brated, Grafton, delivered in New York on
the 22d of February, referred our existing
troubles 10 pro-slaEery fanaticisms, and adj
vocated abolition rather than disunion, if
the alternatives were presented.
The disaffected journalists at once mutt
MED and the distinguished historian has
been subjected to the most malevolent stric-
ture and abuse.
1t needs no further proof that these dis
organizers of the Democratic party are
covert enemies of the Union and the friends
of the Union, and so welded to the main
tenance and extension of slavery, that the
success of our arms and the integrity Of
our Government are minor issues with
them. Few men have labored, in the past
more strenuously than Mr.. Bancroft, as his
torian, essayist, and orator, to validate and
legaIize the peculiar institution. But his
patriotism has risen superior to his philOso.
ply, and for this he will never be forgiven
Happily, the Democratic masses are begin
ming to discover the motives of the mer
who would misIead, demoralize and donation
alize them. And the example of Mr.. Ban
croft will not be in vain the ancient fealty
of great party to feudal and semi-civil
lied institution is weakened, nay almost de-
stroyed, and we have only to expose ant
divert the Vaccinations of those seeming
/ patriots to unite the once powerful ant
glorious Democracy upon the single advo
cacy of the Union, freedom, and victory

aCnn,e Face enc mussc y

The conspirators against the schools, I'M
able to stem the torrent Of indignation
which an outraged constituency has been
pouring upon them since the passage of the
resolution ordering q vote on the New
Charter, on Monday night rescinded their
former action on that question and laid the
whole matter on the table. They have
heard from the people. They have become
convinced that their zeal in striking down
the dearest interest of the city overleaped
that a change of tactics is absolutely neces-
sary if they would succeed in electing any
Of their friends to fill any Of the city offices
during the next year. The excuse given
for their back down u that too short time
was given for the matter to be presented to
the people in all its bearings, and they
would be unable to determine the question
intelligently. Why was this not thought
of before the resolution was introduced in
the first placer How does it happen that
this "shortness of time is only discover
cd after naoay unuaistAl.Nble denlOnstra-
lions on the part of the people that they
were prepared for the issue2 Why couldn't
this g shortness of time" be seen before it
was ascertained that whoever supported the
new charter could not be elected to fill any
Office within the gift of the people2
The truth is, some of the councilmen on
the present board have mistaken their CALI
ing. They have become infatuated with
the idea that they are destined for great
party leaders. But their aspirations are too
high for their mediocre abilities, and their
pitiful blunders would be amusing were
they not so annoying. With the short
sightedness of men animated by a desire
only for mischief, they thought agitation OF
some kind was essential to enable them t.
figure in the coming elections, and they
knew of no subject better calculated to sti
up the people than that concerning chang
of charter. Well, they have accomplished
that part of their undertaking. The PEG
pie are somewhat stirred up, but their man
ifestations are not of character to Civ
satisfaction to these mischief makers.
Finding that their plans Woodworking
badly, and that not only would the peopl
reject the new charter, but also all of tb
candidates who were favorable to it-includ
ing their candidate for Mayor-it was con
cluded that the resembling of the resolution
was essential, aud it was done. Their can
didate for Mayor, especially, must run a
an old charter, free school man, if he raj
with any prospect OF success, and if tn
suspicious of the people could be lulled b
laying aside for the present the charte
subject, enough free school men might b
humbugged into voting for their candidat
to insure his election. In other word:
these political tricksters, forgetting that tn
naanla are iust ~L~-r they ara. he W
concluded they may be able to defeat Mayo
Baker and accomplish indirectly what the
know can not be done directly. God hel
people that can be deceived by such Lead
ers as William Klusman, John Haney an
Michael Muentzer -a.- 4.
