Tn ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRoCLAMA-
L tion of the President Of the United States set
ting apart and recommending Thursday, the 3Oth
day of April, 1868. a day OF " National humilia-
ton, fasting and prayer do hereby call upon all
citizens and residents OF the City Of Evansville

established on such foundations as lie may approve
and bless.
All persons are earnestly invoked TO give their
aid and co-ope ratiOn, that the Sabbath-like

'Yicksburg and that the Mississippi would
soon be open to its mouth.
They can't even telegraph the truth
about simple movement such as rum
mag the blockade. One DAY we are in
formed that certain 'aamber of trans
ports, naming them, had run the block
ade in safety, and Che failure of the reb-
els to do any damage was regarded as
evidence that they were evacuating their
stronghold. A day or two afterwards we
are Incidentally toldthat the Tigress, the
largest and best of the transports, was
sunk, and that the Moderator was slight
" injured We shall not be surprised to
learn that her injuries were of so slight
character, that she, too, sunk, shortly
after passing the batteries, and that her
cargo, as was that of the Tigress, is to-
tai loss
Thus, day after day, We aredosed with
kilograms of the character described,
until the whole country is uauseated
Our own humble opinion is, and we
charge nothing for it than when Grant
takes Vicksbarg, the country will be apt
to know it We have seen no movement
that he has made that has perceptibly en-
dangered the rebel position. The pres
eut move to New Carthage comes as far
short of getting in the rear of Vicksburg
as any of his other failures. Black Riv-
er, so far as our information goes, is more
inaccessible than the Yazoo, and lined
with batteries just as formidable. Its
shores are more swampy than those of
the Yazoo River, and the difficulties TO
be overcome in ascending it are of the
most stubborn character.
Fewer mistakes than those made by
Gen. Grant have resulted in the removal
of every other officer who has been at the
head of department, but, as the former
is pet of Gen. Halleck's, we suppose he
will be retained in his position. Mean
while the graves OF Union soldiers are
rapidly thickening along the shores of
the Lower Mississippi, and the sickly
season fast approaches. Many gallant
spirit, "eager to breathe his last amid
the storm of battle, }" will be quenched by
the malaria which is already preparing
for an assault upon our brave boys. 1t
will not do to sacrifice life in attempting
to storm Notifications, but it may be
recklessly squandered amid the cypress
swamps without endangering the glory
of the commanding General "How
many were killed, inquiries an anxious
public Who thinks to ask, 4" How many
died?'

a most aattering compliment to our
townsman, DR.. Maginness, who is also in
the service as Surgeon of the 42d Regi-
ment At the present time, the Doctor
has charge of Hospital No. Z, ia Gala
tin, Tennessee. Our correspondent says
it is one of the best regulated in the
place, which is principally made up Of
hospitals. No. z is always neat and
ready for inspection. Members of our
correspondents company who were con-
fined there for season also testify to
the kindness, patience, and faithfulness
of the Surgeon in charge, who is greatly
assisted in his arduous labors by his
kind-hearted lady, who has been with
him for some time. She devotes her
attention principally to fixing up the
many little delicacies which sick SOL
der alone knows how to appreciate, and
otherwise with her own hands admins
tering comfort and consolation where it
most seems needed We have no doubt
many grateful volunteers will long re-
member the kindness of Surgeon Magin-
ness and his lady.

HORRIBLE MURDER AT THE STATE PRIs-
oN-PETER WESLEY KILLED BY Con-
vIcr.--The New Albany Ledger of Mon
day evening says:
At an early hour this morning Mr.. Pc
ter Wesley, of this city, guard at the
State Prison, was killed by convict
whose name we have been unable to OBJ
tain. 1t appears that Mr.. Wesley had
found it necessary, in the discharge of
his duty, to report to the Warden, Mr..
Miller, the murderer and another con-
Wet, for bad conduct, who were tied MP
and whipped. AS Yesley was standing
at the head of a flight of stairs leading
to the second story Of the east wing Of
the building, he was met by the convict,
10 - -uls bosom and
struck Mr.. Yesley across the law and
neck, inficting hideous wound. Mr.
4esley Immediately fell and rolled to
the bottom of the steps before assistance
reached him. He was still alive at 10
clock, but it was believed could not
live more than two or three hours.
Mr., I. was most excellent man and
a good citizen. He served two wears as
County Treasurer and was for several
years Route Agent on the railroad
There are thousands in this city who
Will hear of his untimely death with
heartfelt sorrow. He leaves family.
The murderer was arrested and locked
up in cell

IMPORTANT ExPEDITIoY.-We learn

rebels, thirty-five horses, two mules. one
yoke of oxen, sundry small arms, and
quantity of merchandise found with the

The MUTINY ON THE AUTocRAT.-l
has been previously announced through
this paper that mutiny had occurred
on board the flagship Autocrat, of the
Mississippi Marine Brigade. The mutt
neers were portion of the soldiers on
the boat, and not any of the boats crew
or officers, as has been falsely reported.
The pretended cause was that their ra-
tons had not been dealt out to them as
they should have been, and that several
articles provided in the regulations
bad been withheld altogether. We are
satisfied, from information we have re-
celved, lhat there was no truth whatever
IN the charges of the mutineers against
the Quartermaster After several hours
close confinement and fasting, the mutt
neers sent committee of three from
their company to intercede with General
Eilet for their release; but the General
sent them word that they should remain
IN irons until they were courtmartialed,
and if death was awarded, they should
be shot. He also added that, sooner
than allow a mutiny to 90 unpublished
on board of one of his vessels, he would
blow her up with every soul aboard, not
counting his own life anything in the
effort to maintain that perfect discipline
without which au army, or any portion
of 1t, was utterly useless to the cause
and to the country. : Nelc 4ALbany

FOREIGN HOSTAGES.

In pursuance of a joint resolution of
Congress, approved March Sd, 1868, the
Post Office Department has issued in
structions TO Postmasters, requiring
them to collect an gold or silrer coin,
after May lst, 1868, all hostages due on
unpaid letters received from foreign
countries, in the mails dispatched to this
country from Great Britain and Ireland,
France, Prussia, Hamburger, Bremen, or
Belgium. But if payment be rendered
In United States notes, with the premium
on corresponding amount of coin add
ed, it will be accepted.
The quotations for specie in the latest
Cincinnati papers will govern, for the
present, in determining the premium
On amounts under one dollar, the pre-
MUM on silver will be chars ed ON
amounts over one dollar, the premium
on gold.
Specie viii not be required for stamps
to lie used in the prepayment of outgo-
ing letters. Persons having foreign cor
respondence viii see that it is to their
interest to prepay the letters they send,
and to have their correspondents do
the same
The reason of this new regulation is
that the postage balances are generally
against this country, and have to be ac-
counted for in coin, which is heavy ex-
pense to the Post Office Department
