To the Editors of the Journal:
After four years absence we are again
resting for brief hour on the classic
hills of old Hanover.
What wondrous changes these years
have wrought-changes productive Of
both pleasure and sadness.
A new college edifce has been built
crowning the high bluffthat overlooks the
river MONUMENT of beauty and of hu-
man progress.
But where are the proud and noble
spirits with whom we mingled in years
gone by? Scattered to the four quarters
of the globe-many gone to that bourne
whence no traveller returns"
Mutant omnid is the rule Of all terres-
tial life, and the scenes and joys of our
melancholy as of pleasure.
Of all those with whom we used to as.
sociate in our school-boy days, not one
is left around those classic hills. The
last one--a friend, brave, generous, no

the most delightful hours Of our life was
buried but week ago, another victim of
this fell rebellion.
The only resort we had was to revisit
scenes of enchantment rendered doubly
interesting by the memory of choice
friends, with whom we first visited those
scenes of grandeur and beauty. Ac-
companied by our ''tigers" we visited But
ler's falls, and after climbing down the
rocky lodges and traversing the grand
ampitheatre, and reading the inscrip-
tions OF names once familiar as house
hold words, we INDUCED in the pleasant
pastime of rolling rocks over the vast
precipice, much to the delight of our
young and rising generation" Ma
ture has produced no handsomer or
more romantic scenery than that which
abounds in the vicinity of Hanover.
Butler falls, of which we speak, are
situated about half mile from the vii
lage of Hanover, and are about eighty
feet high. During the most of the year
a considerable stream of water dashes
over these in one stupendous leap to the
rocks below, producing the most beauti-
ful and resplendent rainbow hues in the
sunlight.
They stretch around in the form of a
semicircle of more than a thousand yards
diameter, shelving back and form
ing a vast ampithearre inverted.
Inns is but one OF many like roman
tic falls in the vicinity, such as Hart's.
Chfty, &c, with all of which romantic
legends are connected.
There are also in this vicinity manv
pleasant falls of less magnitude, which !
form delightful bathing places, the bene.
fits of which we have often availed our.

The atmosphere here is much cooler !
and pleasanter than on Water or Locust +
street IL your city, and we only regret
that business, that inexorable despot
requires that we must leave this roman. /

Senator Douglas Last Speech.

The Cincinnati Enquirer and kindred
sheets have been publishing speech de-
l.vered by Senator Douglas in the United
States Senate, and evidently to create
the impression that it was the last speech
he delivered. We copy this morning has
last speech, delivered in Chicago, after
the war had been fairly inaugurated by
the rebels. Will democrats who believe
that Senator Douglas was statesman
aud patriot read that speech, and act in
accordance with its noble suggestions?
Had Senator Douglas have lived to the
present time, and continued making suGn
speeches, would he not now be denounced
as an abolit;onist by the Cincinnati En-
ouirer and State Sentinel, as they de-
nounce such of his warm personal and
political friends as Generals McClernand
and Logan, who were greatly Influenced
in their conduct byss that speech2
1t tmust be insufferable to such demo-
Gratis as Logan and McClernaud, Dick
inson and Butler, to be denounced as
atolitionist, by such democratic speci-
mems as edit the State Sentinel and
Rockport Demdcrat-one ofwhom few
years ago, was the head and front of the
s.bolitionists in Lafayette, and was in ia
vor of "unfurling the flag of universe
freedom" while the other still later bolt
ed the Democratic Convention, ant
courted the support of every abolitionis
in his county to send him to the Stat
LEGISLATURE, a position he secured onl
5.v disgrace. We say such things mus
knowing that the more worthless an
cowardIy the ours at their heels the loud
er viii be the barking.

LYON started to New York this morn
ing to make his fall purchases. The
rapid increase in his business during the
past few years will now justify him in
keeping a stock which will compare ia
vorably with any house in the Union.
His stock this fall will not only be very
large, but will be made of the finest i'm
ported and domestic fabrics, and made
up in Devlin' best style.

MANY of our citizens will no doubt re-
member friend Coffin, of Cincinnati,
who visited our city some months since,
collecting funds for the freedmen in the
South.
The following letter, written by him to
one of our citizens, presents, in forcl-
BILE manner, the increasing numbers and
destitution of those poor outcasts thus
Providentially thrown upon the charity
of the nation.
This appeal is made not for money,
but for clothing and other supplies, an
abundance of which may be found in so
many full houses in Evansville.
This is work for the Christian '0o-
men of the city, to whom the poor and
destitute have never appealed for help in
vain:

Ny DEAR FRIEND:-Your letter of
July 18th was duly received, but L was
sick at the time, and have not heenf able
to write much since that time, hence the
neglect of answering it.
Though improving now, and able to be
out some, it is with difficulty that write,
being weak and nervous. l expect to
start out in few days if l still improve,
to labor in behalf of the poor freedmen,
and present their claims to the friends OF
humanity. The number of these poor,
suffering people has been greatly in
creased since the fall of Vicksburg; there
are now over thirty thousand within Gen.
Grants lines, of these poor sufferers,
mostly women and children, and aged
and decrepid ones, besides those in Gov
ernment employ All the able bodied
men are taken into the army We are
| informed by the Superintendent near
| Vicksburg that many came into the camp
in an entire nude state (I suppose chill
I dren, though not stately.
The destitution is very great and cloth
ing much needed, particularly for women
and children. Shirts and under clothing
is much needed at all the points. Great
exertion will be necessary to provide for
winter, or many must perish with cold,
or sicken and die from exposure. Ii the
citation and cooperate with us, and col
lect clothing and money, and ship to
John Eaton, Jr., General Superintendent
of Contrabands, it would certainly be

people Of your city will be alive to this
good work, We are shipping more or
demand for school looks; we are sus-
tanning a number of teachers. and fur
nishlng large number of school books,
yet the demand is not near supplied L
now have an order for thousand school
books from Corintb, Miss, part of them
for the colored regiments We shall do
all that our funds will permit in relieving
their wants, both physical and intellec-
tual. There is a great and interesting
held now open for missionary labcrs
among this poor, down-trodden race, in
which all christians can unite Well
qualified teachers are doing a good mis-
sIonary work; none but those OF true mis-
slonary spirit should be sent as school
teachers. Old promiscuous school books
that are sometimes sent in, are of but
little use. Primary lessons, first read
ers, DC, for beginners, such as McGuf-
feys series, &C., all of the kind for our
school, makes much less trouble for
teachers. mention this as guide in
collections. We have advantages here
in the purchase of school books of the
publishers, often getting them at reduced
prices. L shall be glad to hear from you
at any time. As ever thine for the poor.

who have heard him speak that Josh
Allen, of Southern Illinois, aspires to
the Gubernatorial chair of that State.
Witnessing Vallandigham's success in
securing the nomination, he has adopted
similar tactics and is now laboring to
secure martyrdom that he may receive
martyrs reward. We advise Josh. to
not be too fast. 1t will be wisdom on
his part to see how ValIandigham comes
out, before committing himself too far
TO that line Of policy. Of course Allen
has high opinion of Vallandigham and
very poor one of Logan and McCler-
nand. He is against emancipation, con-
fscation and subjugation, and in favor
of Seymour and peace. He already
hoists the name of Seymour as the can
didate of his wing of the Democracy for
President in 1864. This has already
been done by some of our Democrats,
who, in this particular, are ahead of
Allen. The soldiers, Allen says, have
been deceived as to the object of the
present war, and if they could, they
would leave it for the cowardly aboIi-
tionists to fight out. His county (Wil-
liamson) had supported the Administra
-tion through compulsion. This we be-
heve is pretty true. The l2Sth Illinois
was raised in that county and was after
son, and another regiment which was
largely made up from the same county,
was disbanded and the troops composing
it scattered through other regiments.
We suppose by this time, they too, are
abolitionists.
We repeat our advice to Mr.. Allen:
wait for the October election to see how
Val comes out before you go in too
far. We are poor guessers if Vallandig-
ham is not the last candidate selected by
party for no other qualification than
that he has been persistently, systemati-
eally and Economically hostile to the
government which has protected him and
under which he has been promoted to
positions of honor and trust-positions
he has grossly betrayed.
