An Explanation Wanted.

To the Editors of the Evansville Journal.
| am informed by an officer connected
with the Revenue service, that the Quar-
termaster at Louisville, Kentucky, has
ordered all the boats in the service of the
United States, on the lower Ohio to pro-
cure coal at Shotwells Mine in Union
county Ky, and not at any other Mine,
This order is predicated not on the fact
that Shoswell's coal is better or cheaper
than other
We are further informed that if the
cash is paid the coal costs l24 cents per
bushel, but if a voucher is given, twenty
per cent is added, making the price 10
| cents bushel
SO many boats being required to coal al
the same place much delay is occasioned
boats being compelled to wait for a sup
ply to be brought out from the mine
The Matte Cook in her last trip dowr
was thus detained six hours, waiting hel
turn. This was was on the It'll day of the
present month. ret g
AS there are plenty of other Goa
mines, why Shotwell should have +;
monopoly of the entire coal trade will
government boats is past comprehension
Other mines in Indiana and Illinois will
furnish as good coal and as cheap a
Shotwell, why is this favoritism and in
Justice manifested by government
officer in favor of people in Kentuck,
and to the exclusion of those in Indian;
and Illinois?
AS this order is said to have beef
given through the @. NJ. at Evansville
perhaps he can throw some light on TIL
subject. 81 [Ev.
Let us hear from Weston mines, Trad
Water, Battery Rock and Bodiam mines
as to their ability to furnish good coal q
low prices; and also as to the difarenc
between cash and government voucher
in sales of coal to government. X.

intelligence from perfectly reliable

nkA- Gen. Farquhar, who had started

BEA Gen. Farquhar, who had started
to Indianapolis yesterday morning, re-
ceived dispatch from Gov. Morton at
VinceLnes, ordering him to return to
this city and maintain the organization
of the militia and the Indiana Legion,
and hold them. ready for any emergency.
The status of affairs here will not, we
presume, be changed at present, except
that the Legion and Militia may be re-
quired to drill perhaps daily for an hour
or two.
In this connection we may say there
is no foundation for the rumors that Ad-
am Johnson was crossing the river at
Caseyville. Adam has too bitter an ex-
perience in this region to venture back.

% %The excitement of the last few
days has not been without its benefits,
and its lessons to be improvided in the
future. E
Our people have been reposingi in quiet
and confident of immunity from danger.
We in common with our cotempora-
ries, have from time to time urged upon
our authorities the necessity of having
the militia thoroughly organized, and
always ready for any emergency.
The warning was UNDECIDED and the
border rested in conscious security until
aroused by the announcement that John
Morgan with 5000 men had invaded our
State. The alacrity with which they
then sprang to arms show hows full of
patriotic impulses our people are ~
Within "a hours, more than 1000 men
were in camp in this city, ready to repel
an attack or anxious to be led any where
to attack the invaders.
Almost every man of this large force
went into camp voluntarily and cheer
fully Some few had to be conscripted,
as the boys term it, but even these took
to their duty cheerfully.
3Tbe great lesson taught is, that by a
perfect organization of our companies,
we can at any time repel any ordinary
raid, and the Lesson to be needed is the
necessity of such thorough organiza-
ton
Fl The very fact THAT we were so prompt
to answer the call of the Governor in
rushing to arms, fact which Morgan
was no doubt duly advised by his spies
and friends in this city; alone deferred
him from coming this way. But John
knew that we were prepared to give him
fight here, and he, preferring to steal,
took another route
Another lesson taught by this raid
and one which we hope may be needed
is the absolute necessity that a telegraph
line be built from New Albany to this
city along the river Had such line
been in existence, the appearance o
Morgan on the border would have beer
known on Tuesday evening, and before
he could have got across the river, forces
sufficient to have overwhelmed hin
could have been concentrated to NEE
and drive him back and our State saved
the disgrace and damages of this raid

A Grand Livery Stable.

Our enterprising friends, Setchell L
Bowles, whose Livery Stable On Division
street was burned soAe months since,
have erected on sge6ad street between
sycamore and Vine, one Of the largest
and hands6slest Livery Stables in South
sfn INDIANA.
Ehe Building is of brick, built in the
most substantial manner with front of
IS feet and l35 feet deep. .t.
The lower story is IA feet high and
the upper 81 feet They are now fitting
up some 500 SIS stalls, and will as their
business requires fit up the balance OF
the building, which will entertain over
100 head of horses.
There will be four rows of stalls two
facing to the walls and two to the cen
ter of the building, with two passage
ways 10 feet wide each, which will afford
the most ample room for the ingress and
egress of buggies, wagons or omnibusses'
The building is so spacious that the
Omnibusses can drive around the center
tiers of stalls, or they can drive out into
the alley where they have left space of
| ID feet for their own convenience. The
front of the building will be elegantly
finished, and will be great ornament
to Second street. In the front part OF
the building will be furnished an elegant
Office Is by Is feet, with an entrance
from each passage, where will be found
at all hours, day and night, an attendant
to receive orders. The upper story is
laid with tight floor which will prevent
the seed or dust of hay from falling be
low, with ample space for hay and room
also for buggies &c. The second floor
will be reached by an inclined plane o
easy grade By which vehicles Of every
grade may be readily taken 10 the seconc
floor
The facilities for getting grain anC
hay into the second story will be very
convenient, as also the facilities for get
ting the sane articles from above to the
managers below.
The stalls are large and the building
will be we'll ventilated, and having a til
roof and but little wood work exposed tt
the outside, will be as nearly fire proc
as building of the kind can be made.
Two capacious cisterns, one at the from
and one at the back part of the build
ing will supply the building with al
abundance of water The cisterns viii
have capacity of about 400 hogshead
each.
Altogether this will be the most spa
cious and elegant, as we'll as the bes
arranged stable in this part of the State
Setchell & Bowles are the oldest liver
men in the city, and by their liberal an
accommodating method of doing bus
ness have received very liberal shar
of patronage, and their enterprise an
public spiritedness deserve, and we hop
will receive, an increased patronag
commensurate with their facilities fC
accommodating the public in their line
Their stable will be magnificent

and their usual liberality will mark a
