We commence, this morning, on our
first page, the publication of Alvah John
sons Review Of Judge Laws Congress
sional Record. Mr.. Johnson's summing
up of the case is clear and forcible;
while the record itself, compiled from
the House Journals and Congressional
Globe, fully substantiates all the charges
preferred. We hope no reader of the
Journal will fail to investigate the facts
presented by Mr.. johnson, for in the light
OF these facts, they should make up their
minds as to Mr. Laws fitness to repre-
sent this district for another term in
Congress.
As general thing, Judge Law seems
to have been actuated by single mo-
tive, viz to make Mr.. Lincoln's Admin
istration odious and despicable failure.
Every vote that he east, the very few
speeches that he made, all looked in the
one direction-had but one design-the
overthrow Of Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
ton. So malignant was his party spirit
that he failed to see-(or if he did see he
did not care)-that the overthrow of Mr..
Lincoln could result in the destruction of
the Government and the triumph of the
Southern Confederacy The facts JUS
tify the conclusion that Judge Law de-
sires the success of JEFF. Davis. We
challenge any of his friends to point
their finger to a single extract in any of
his speeches, either in Congress or DIR
ing his present canrass, in which he has
spoken of the Southern Conspirators in
other than the highest terms of respect,
while no epithet of opprobrium has been
too vile for him to apply to President
Lincoln and his advisers. Who has
heard Judge Law denounce jeff Davis q?
When did he do it? Name the time and
place.
There is one thing, however, that looks
a little singular, though it is perfectly
consistent with all Of the Judges votes.
During the time he was in Congress, the
Judge voted for every proposition calcu-
lated to increase the expenses Of the
Government, and add to the burdens OF

The PoRT OF TRANSATLANTIC think
it important to the commercial interests
of Evansville that steps should be taken
to improve the landing at the river.
The sand-bar has so accumulated in
froat of the city that it is difficult for
boats to make convenient landing at
low stage of water. The increase of the
bar during the past season has been very
great
We believe some method could be de-
vised by which the bar could be removed,
and the channel Of the river turned near
er to the Indiana shore. JOS
There is another matter that deserves
the serious attention of the city authori-
ties, and that is the rapid washing away
of the bank below the city, from the La
masco wharf and the coal mines. If the
process of caving in is permitted to grow
for few years, the Marine Hospital and
much other valuable property viii be de-
stroyed. We deem these matters of the
utmost Importance to the interests of
our city.

A Dollar that Pays Well.

e One of the best seasonable enterprises,
now before the public, is that of the pub
Usher Of the American Agriculturist
He has secured for his subscribers fine
colored editions of two splendid Maps of
localities of great interest. One of these
covering a space of more than ten square
feet, shows the entire State of Virginia
so. completely that every county, town,
city, village, river, brook, mountain, hill,
and principal road, is readily found. 1t
also embraces the principal parts of
Maryland and Pennsylvania. The other
Map, covering about fifteen square feet,
gives all the Southern or Slave States,
including Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, and all south of
them. Though not so minute as the
map of Virginia, this shows all the coun-
ties, principal towns, rivers, etc, of the
Southern States. WCI8
Any person subscribing now for the
AgricLiturist, is presented with choice
of the above two Maps In addition to
this, every new subscriber for 1868, (Vol.
22,) receives the Agriculturist for the
rest of this year tcithowt charge. We
have long received the Agriculturist, and
can testify to its real merits. Every
number is well illustrated, and contains
a very large amount of really useful,
practical, reliable information for the
Farm, the Garden. and the Household,
including a very interesting department
,or the little ones No one can fail to
get many dollars worth of hints from a
volume of the Agriculturist, while the
maps now are so much extra. We have

our recommendation, or if you prefer send

The BATTLE OF ANTIETAM-ITs SOLID
EFFEcTs-We clip the following very
sensible view of the true results of the
battle of Antietam, by far the most des-
perately contested during the war, from
the National Intelligencer:
The battle of Sharpsburg, if sterile in
some of the results of great victory, is
none the less signal for the light ii sheds
on the prowess of the Union troops and
on the skill with which they were han
died This battle has given to the enc
my and to the world the assurance OF the
solid qualities which constitutes a stead
fast, disciplined, and powerful army, ca
pable Of accomplishing great results in
the future. A victory won by brilliant,
stragetic movements, or gained by sur
prise, however signal in its accomplish
ment, conveys but small assurance of
similar good fortune in the future. But
a victory gained by superior pertinacity
in both receiving and giving that {" hard
pounding" which was witnessed at Sharps-
burg is victory that affords the augury
of achievements yet to come, and which
we can count upon with the more certain
ty because of the fiery ordeal through
which our army has just passed.

"A TRAITOR AND WILLIAM WIPED Our.
Two weeks ago yesterday, a guerrilla
named Perry Joiner, a desperate charac-
ter; horse thief, and in fine session
list of the Kentucky school, was wiped
out at Princeton, KY, by three men with
whom he got into quarrel vuw
Being in town, and drunk, he met Dr.
Carr, from whom he had stolen two
horses, and in an insolent manner asked
the Doctor if he had said he would send
him to the Penetentiary, for eight years.
The Dr. disdained to answer him, and
sought to avoid him, but Joiner followed
him up with revolver in his hand, until
Col. Barbour took him away He got on
his horse and started off, but soon return
ed, and calling at the lower tavern began
abusing an old man named Baker He
next met old man Black, from whom he
had stolen three horses, and commenced
abusing and threatening him. Black
told him he was thief and scoundrel,
when Joiner dismounted and approached
Black who drew his revolver, which was
grasped by Joiner when struggle ensu
ed, during which son of Black, who
came to the rescue of his father, sho
Joiner. The old man then being free al
so shot him, when Carr, rushing up gave
him the third shot, which killed. him
The three Immediately stood an examin
alton, and were promptly acquitted.

day earth draws highest to heaven. 1t
may not be the day for which all other

stands out above all others, and will be

who took part in its services, if they will
turn and look back.

gave a good inside view of religion, and
many hearts were warmed
At l05 A. NJ there were Public Reli-
