The Journal for 1854.

For over fifteen years the Journal,
with few unavoidable exceptions, has
made its appearance regularly. During
all this time it has labored, if. not with
ability, always with fidelity, zeal, and
singleness of purpose, to quicken the
growth of our city, increase the prosper
ity Of our State, and bind still closer the |
bonds Of the Union. In this quiet work |
the Journal has been consistent. Under
different proprietors it has maintained a
political and local directness of purpose,
unknown to many other papers guided
always by one and the same hand.
The Daily Journal began life when
Evansville was comparatively village
1t has chronicled the various enterprises
which have resulted in placing our city
second to but one in the State Not only
has it labored to add to the growth of the
city, but it has endeavored to keep pace
With that growth by adding such facili!
ties 70 the Office as would enable it to
compete with similar establishments in
cities of even greater pretensions than
ours. .r.-
We are not unmindfu1 that while the
Journal has contributed to the CONNER
eial prosperity of others, they in tnrn
have extended helping hand to the pa
per. Its failings have been charitably
regarded; its efforts at improvement gen.
erously encouraged But the year 1864,
opens new era for the Journals as we'll as
for the country. Webegin it with conf.
dence haunted by no mgivings. We believe.
our glorious country, which, for the past two
years, has been passing through the dark
valley and shadow of death, will this year
emerge into the twilight of regeneration
and triumph, wreaths of victory crown
ing its battle-stained defenders and songs
of thanksgiving greeting their return
from the war. The triumph of the Gov
eminent, the success Of our gallant sol
disrs is the triumph and success of the
Journal For this glorious consumma-
ton it has labored with unabating zeal
and strong hope during the long, and at
times, dark struggle. Situated at the
extreme front-a picket as it were of the
loyal States--it has given forth no un-
certain sound, nor has it hesitated to de-
nounce treason and a instructed neu-
trality with the same holiness that our
soldiers fought traitors on the field of
battle
While it is apparent that during the
year before US the efforts Of the Gov
eminent win be crowned with glorious
success, victory viii not be won without
more hard fighting. Eighteen hundred
and sixts4hree is no less celebrated for
It's political than for its military trininphs
So, in 1854, the struggle is to BE- a polit-
zeal and military one. Strong rebel ar
mics confront Gems. Meade and Grant
powerful political organization faces
the Union men of the North. Defeat has
driven the rebel leaders to tie verge OF
despair, and they viii make the cam
paign of next summer all that ferocity,
energy and desperation can make it

he prospect Of losing political power for
years. to come, has had a similar effect
upon the Democratic leaders. Theyare
desperate. They are now hard at work
rallying and recognizing their defeated
forces. They are spending their money
like, water, looking to the treasures of
the States and Nation to repay the out
lay. Like desperate gamblers, they stake
everything upon the hazard of die.
Consequently, the friends of the good
cause must prepare themselves for an
othar severe struggle this year. Our
brave boys at Chattanooga and on the
Rappahannoek are outstanding their re
sources, strengthening their positions,
and preparing for last grand onslaught
upon the rebels in their front So must
we organize the scattered legions of true
men which won the magnificent political
victories of last year. They have scat
tered, somewhat, since their triumph.
The magnitude of their victory has had
tendency to make them careless
Eternal vigilance is the price of lib
erty"; eternal vigilance is required to
save the Government

present year, the Journal has no new

same doctrines it has always maintained

We need hardly say to our friends

Of CONGESTION of the lungs, Mrs PARMA S. JAoUEss,
wife Of Jonathan S. Jaquess, of this city, in the
thfrty-eighth year of her age.
This intelligent and pious lady was born in Sui
livsn county, New York, February %. 1896; but
in early life removed, with her fathers family, TO
the State Of Indana--She experienced religion in
her twentieth year, and united with the Cumber-
land, Presbyterian Church, in which communion
she remained till her marriage, in December, 1877,
when she became member of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, that she might enjoy, " it'll her hus-
band, the blessings of Church fellowship in the
same society. Mrs Jaquess was blessed with a
remarkably clear intellect, which we'll i'm
proved with good education and extensive histo-
ricsl and other reading, and these advantages,
sanstihed by grace, gave her peculiar facilities for
usefulness In tho circle in which she moved. Her
pisty wac Of = calm and thoughtful mold, and al
though for many years member Of another COM
munioH, she ardently loved the Church in which
she died. and often spoke of the utility of those
cial means of grace peculiar to hereconemy. That
one SO we'll qualified to fill her place in society,
and in the midst of large and interesting family
should be taken away in the prime of life, is of
those dispensations of Divine Providence to which
We must bow, but can not solve During her i'll
ness she derived much religious consolation, es-
pecally in CONCENTRATIONS of the heavenly world
and the society there, among whom she would find
son and aged relatives, who have preceded her to
the better land. As her end drew near, she took
leave of ALI the family, and left wifes and moth
er's blessing, anticipating a happy reunion in
heaven, an expectation already realized in part
IN the decease of the youngest, an infant, which
soon followed its mother to that world where
thickness, sorrow pain aud death,
Are felt and feared no more" -

The grand army of General Banks ar
rived here on the first, without successful
resistance The troops under General
Smith arrived by river at Grand Cove.
General Lee, with his cavalry, had a
skirmish thirty miles westward of this
place at Fort Jessup and Pleasant Hill, in
which he took forty prisoners. Losses
slight.
On the Sd, forty of our cavalry, on tho
north Annis, encountered the rebel cavalry
of Harrison in force, comprising 1900 men.
Our men, eager for charge, were cut off
at bridge, from which planks had been
taken Our loss was twenty seven killed
and wounded.
The rebel army under Gen. Kirby Smith
is falling back slowly before US. General
Price is reported approaching him with
1000 men. Concentrati,n is looked for on
this side of Cleveland We do not think a
pitched battle is eminent, unless Kirby
Smith can fall upon detachment of Gen.
Banks forces. The rebels are reported to
have 10000 men and ~ guns. Two very
heavy guns, made to carry up the river, are
now buried at CASTLE.
