-SMALL-Pox The whole community seems
to be full of this oaihsome disease. ard all ef-
forts to proven its spread seem to be unavailng
IL is matter of surprise that many people
have neglected to avail themselves of that almost
certain preventive, vaccination. We seldom hear
of persons taking the small pox who have been
vaecinated and in the few exceptions the phase
was simply light attacks of variolod
1t has been suggested to establish quarantine
outside the city limits to prevent contagious dis
eases being brought here but we believe If the
citizens will act cordially in concert with the city
authorities and the Board of HEALTH the disease
may be speedily eradicated from midst.
Every man, woman and childin the city has a
personal interest in this matter.-l Evansville

MAJOR GENERAL LEW. WALLAcE.-Every-
body recollects the high state of drill and eff
| cheney acquired by the Montgomery Guards under
the supervision Of General Wallace. On the
breaking out of the present war. the General was
| among the very first to offer his services, the
fame he had already acquired as Captain of the
Guards gaining for him the Colonelcy Of the cell
! ebrated eleventh regiment. Our town felt greatly
! honored by this advancement Of one of her sons,
and none more than ourselves We had
known. intimately, the General for several years.
/ Often have we had the assistance of his pen and
brain in the arduous duties of journalist: in
fact he was the favorite of our editorial staff in
the memorable campaign OF 1860. Ii was not
surprising, then, that we watched with mingled
feelings of pride and delight the rapid promotion
of our young hero who, at last vaulted in the
saddle of Major Generalship After the great
battle of Shiloh he was relieved from active duty
the cause for which was never satisfactorily as
certained until recently, when the Cincinnati
Commercial. a loyal Republican paper, let the
cat out of the bag in the following expose:
THE PRESIDENT ~ TROUBLE.
| Mr.. lincoln expressed his troubles to n gentle
man who called on him a few days ago. in the
| following language:
THE military men. it seems 10 me. will keep
me in trouble all the time on their account One
day Senator Lane. of Indiana calls on me and
asks me why don't give Lew Wallace n CON-
mand tell him that Halleck says Wallace is
| of no account and ought not to have command.
He goes at me then. and says Halleck isn't worth
a cent, and oughtn't to have a place. Halleck
wants to kick Wallace out, and Lane wants me
to kick Halleck out"
."Well. - said the visitor. ON tell you how to
tx it to the satisfaction ofboth parties"
! Chow is that?" inquired the President.
"Why. sir, kick them both out" was the re-
ply.
mo" said Mr. Lincoln, THAT won't do.
think Halleck is good man. He may not be.
OF course don't know much about such things
may be good judge Of LAWYERS. but don't
know much about Generals. Those who ought
10 know say he is good.
i well" said the visitor, eff you don't know,
and if the people don't know that Halleck is a
fool. they think they do. and its all the same
thing"
\ We can assure Mr. Halleck that, in common
with the citizens Of our town, we regard his envy
and hostility toward our Major General with
feelings of the deepest Indignation. and have
nothing but contempt for that miserable abor-
tion. that loathsome thing called President. who
has allowed himself to be controlled by vain
and conceited upstart, who, seeing danger of a
rival in the glory gained by our young Napoleon
in the coup de main al Romney. and the strategic
march at Shiloh. crushed with a cowardy hand
the budding flowers Of military genius. at time
when Fate was weaving her garlands and chap
lets for his brow.
We condole with our Major General; we curse
, Halleck we dispise Lincoln. and d-n the entire
